After the end of the drinking ceremony in the township of the Ming Dynasty and the Jinshi Zhuke Liberation Person, which was presided over by Jingzhao Yin Yuan Qianyao himself, it was October when the tributes gathered in the capital to read the list of people, and in November they reviewed and issued the list of all the people, and then paid their respects to the Yuan Palace. If it was other state capitals, they would have been busy sending these township tribute lifters to Beijing at this moment, but after all, Jingzhao Mansion took advantage of the feet of the Son of Heaven, and the lifters had several months more time to travel and intervene than other state capitals. And Du Shiyi took advantage of this loophole, because Du Shisanniang requested, he also wanted to take this opportunity to go back to Songshan to visit Lu Hong, so he ordered someone to go to the Yan Mansion in Dunhuafang to deliver a letter and make an appointment for departure.

Although Yan Zhenqing was still a boy with a drooping hair, he refused to take a car along the way, and only rode a horse with Du Shiyi. At first, he was still a little restrained, but later he found that Du Shiyi treated him as an adult everywhere, and he was no longer like those brothers in the family, so he let go a lot, and even those other wishes and dreams except for the entrance examination were also taken out and said to Du Shiyi.

What should surpass my uncle and brothers in calligraphy, what should be martial arts, and what should help the world and the people...... At least Du Shiyi thought to herself that if she was really still at this age, she would never be so ambitious. So, thinking about the Yan family and the Yin family's generations of intensive study of scripture and history, family history, and the Lu family's thatched cottage is more of a poor student who can't talk about family learning at all, although it is a little late to talk about these at the moment, he still can't help but remind.

"Yan Seventeen Lang, although Master Lu is profound in knowledge and has no class of teaching, but there are too many disciples studying in the grass hall right now, and I am afraid that there is not much time that Master Lu can spare to guide you."

"Xiexie Nineteenth Brother reminds." Yan Zhenqing smiled and showed a small dimple, but her face was very firm, "Whether it is uncle or aunt, aunt or aunt, aunt and uncle, they are indeed very knowledgeable, but they said that they want me to come out and take a look, especially to see a hermit like Songshan Lu Gong, who is different from the virtuous ministers and good generals in the court." If it weren't for the fact that a swarm of bees went to Songshan Mountain to be too conspicuous, those brothers in my family would have wanted to go to see Lu Gong together, and the younger brothers didn't know how much to envy me! ”

Hearing that the elders of the Yan family's Yin family and the Yan brothers were so thoughtful, Du Shiyi suddenly felt relieved. For a while, Yan Zhenqing asked about the scene in the mountains and the brothers and sisters, and he naturally knew everything and said everything. Only when it came to Lu Wangzhi and Pei Ning, he thought about it and used a figurative explanation.

"Senior Brother is very recognizable, the person with the most casual behavior and the most lazy in the grass hall is Senior Brother. As for the third senior brother, you just have to look at the person who can't laugh. ”

Whether Yan Zhenqing was disappointed or not, Du Shiyi only looked at his big shining eyes, but she couldn't be sure. And whether it is in Fanchuan's old mansion or in the Eastern Capital Cui Mansion, Du Shisanniang, who has almost no experience in getting along with her younger brothers and sisters, for Du Shiyi to bring Yan Zhenqing, who is only ten years old, she didn't know how to get along at first, it can be seen that the little guy has gradually become more and more cheerful from the beginning, and she has gradually become familiar with him. Yan Zhenqing never refused to take an ox cart, and when she stayed at night, she often made some slurry water herself and asked Du Shiyi to distribute it to everyone. Seeing that the weather suddenly turned cold, she evened out a shawl from Du Shiyi and gave it to him, and when Du Shiyi smiled and signaled Yan Zhenqing not to call Du Niangzi anymore, but to call her sister, she listened to the sister she had never heard before, and her whole face was full of smiles.

The carriage and horse passed through Taolin County, and now the Doubao Conference in the east and west cities of Chang'an has ended, and there is no robbery to obstruct, and there are empty rooms in the hostels everywhere, Du Shiyi chose a place to stay, and did not go to the county party to meet the old acquaintance Liu County Lieutenant. After all, although the case cannot be said to be perfectly closed, it has been closed according to the arrangement of County Lieutenant Liu, and it is useless to find out the dead Xiao Le now. When they set off from Taolin County, it took two or three days for the group to finally arrive in Luoyang, the eastern capital.

Yan Zhenqing had already heard Du Shiyi mention that he wanted to go to Cui Mansion in Yongfengli, and along the way, he had to look at this eastern capital, which was similar to Chang'an City. When he walked south along Changxiamen Street and saw the aconitum gate of Cui Mansion in Yongfeng Li from a distance, Du Shiyi suddenly only heard the sound of horses' hooves coming from behind, and when a few riders whistled past him, when he saw the door of Cui Zhai over there, a sound floated in the wind.

"The sage made an order, posthumously presented to Zhao Guogong!"

didn't expect to arrive with the envoy of the imperial court's funeral posthumous gift so coincidentally, Du Shiyi hurriedly stepped forward, and when he arrived outside the aconite gate of Cui's house, he saw that the group of angels had been welcomed in. The doorman of the Cui Mansion obviously got the news a long time ago, and when he saw their line, he was not in any hurry at all, and after the leader stepped forward to salute, he learned that Du Sanniang was also here, and he hurriedly said with a grateful face: "Du Langjun, the Cui family should be welcoming angels at this time, and the carriages and horses are temporarily settled in this outer courtyard, I will quietly inform Fu Yuan that you have settled down, okay?" ”

"Okay, then it's time to work."

"The system said: Famous ministers and land, strange and courageous, loyal and strategic, righteous and brave, difficult to go to the subordinates, prepare for the Xuancheng Festival, arrest and appoint, Fang Mao Huiyou, unfortunate thanks, good and deep compassion, can be given to the envoy to supervise the military of Yanzhou."

The posthumous book was not too long, and at the same time, there were rewards for collecting cloth, silk, rice, millet and other items for funeral treatment and condolences. After the messenger personally went to the funeral hall to offer condolences, he said some words of consolation, and was invited by the Cui family to have a meal and rest. And at this time, Cui Jianxuan, who was patiently waiting for the end of this scene, knew that Du Shiyi's brothers and sisters were coming, and immediately ran to the guest house without saying a word, and when he arrived outside the courtyard gate, he heard a burst of talking from inside, one of them seemed to be a child, he was stunned for a moment, and when he entered the door and saw that there was a boy next to Du Shisanniang, he said curiously: "Du Shijiu, Shisanniang, why did you bring someone else today?" ”

"This is Jingzhao Wannian Yan Seventeen Lang." Du Shiyi said and added, "In the future, you will be your little junior brother." ”

"Ah, he's going to study in Songshan at such a young age?"

Cui Jianxuan saw that after Yan Zhenqing was introduced by Du Shiyi, he solemnly raised his hand to salute himself, he stayed for a moment and quickly returned the salute meticulously, and admired it in his mouth. When Du Sanniang said that he was going to worship Cui Gezhi, Yan Zhenqing also said that since he came, he must also pay homage, he changed his solemn and serious face and accompanied the three of them out. Before arriving at the funeral hall, the group collided with the oncoming Cui Jiuniang.

Du Shiyi was accustomed to Cui Jiuniang's explosive temperament, but when he met him head-on, he saw that people were the first to salute, and hurriedly avoided it after saying a few impeccable official words, and he couldn't help but have a feeling that the sun was coming out of the west. After accompanying Du Sanniang and Yan Zhenqing to the funeral hall, Mrs. Zhao Guo sent Fu Yuan to invite them to meet together, and he had to take the two to the dormitory.

After more than ten days, Mrs. Zhao Guo, who had just lost her husband, seemed to be more clear, but her spirit was acceptable. Speaking of Du Shiyi's attempt to win the championship, she showed a smile of honor on her face, and after some encouragement, she smiled and said a few words to Yan Zhenqing, and when the little guy retired first under the excuse of the fatigue of the journey, her face couldn't help but show appreciation. Leaving only the Du brothers and sisters, she first asked the two of them about their plans, and heard that Du Shiyi was going back to Songshan to meet Lu Hong, she thought about it and said: "Since Du Shijiu Lang is going to Songshan, you might as well take Shi Lang's homework booklet with you along the way." ”

"Eleven's schoolbook?" Du Shiyi was stunned for a moment, and then saw Cui Jianxuan on the opposite side with a serious face, and he couldn't help but say thoughtfully, "Could it be that the eleventh brother has decided to change his past wrongs, read the history hard for three years, and send the paper to Master Lu for review every month?" ”

"Hey, what is the ...... of the past" Cui Jianxuan was about to protest, but his mother glared at him, thinking that in recent days, his mother had reversed his gentle connivance with himself in the past, and had actually become a strict mother, he suddenly shrank his head and muttered softly, "I just don't want to be sorry for Master Lu's expectations, instead of wasting his days at home, it is better to learn and martial arts!" ”

Seeing that Cui Jianxuan had really recovered from his decadence and depression, Du Shiyi was naturally overjoyed, and immediately nodded in response: "This matter is easy, Mrs. Zhao Guo rest assured!" ”

Mrs. Zhao Guo nodded with a smile, then looked at Du Sanniang and asked with concern: "Thirteen Niang, do you also want to follow your brother back to Songshan?" ”

Du Sanniang hurriedly bowed and said: "Yes, Duke Lu has the grace to teach Brother to solve doubts, Brother can have today, Duke Lu has made great contributions, so I want to thank you in person." ”

"That's as it should be." After a moment of silence, Mrs. Zhao Guo spoke, "The Cui family has suffered bad news, although Wu Niang promised you to teach you the five arts of the boudoir, but now it is inappropriate to keep you in the Eastern Capital." Advance and retreat etiquette, you have become proficient. And through the history of calligraphy, your brother has some friendship with the Yan family, so you might as well ask Mrs. Yin for advice. The Yin family has been learning from generation to generation, especially the women are proficient in scripture and history, and calligraphy is a must, if you can learn from Mrs. Yin, it will be of great benefit to the future. As for musical instruments, just let your brother teach them. ”

Hearing that Mrs. Zhao Guo had even considered these things for herself, Du Sanniang was moved and hurriedly got up to thank her. But as soon as she bent her knees, she was helped up by Fu Yuan, and when she was pulled by Fu Yuan to sit next to Mrs. Zhao Guo, she only felt that Mrs. Zhao Guo gently reached out and stroked her forehead.

"Thirteen Niang, that day when I heard that you entered the palace with Princess Yuzhen for your brother, Wu Niang and Jiu Niang were surprised, but I was also shocked. I taught you etiquette myself, but I never thought I would have this day. Therefore, your brother can be relieved this time, thanks to Songshan Lu Gong is good, but you are also a great contribution. ”

"That's exactly what Madame said." Du Shiyi saw that Du Sanniang's face was crimson when she was said, she suddenly stood up and said deeply, "Shisanniang, take advantage of today's opportunity to do all the things you have done for my brother over the years. ”

"Brother......" Du Sanniang shouted in a low voice, and when she stood up to help Du Shiyi up, her eyes were sour and astringent, and her feet seemed to freeze. It wasn't until Cui Jianxuan opened her mouth to speak that she quickly lowered her head and wiped her eyes with a silk handkerchief.

"It's all good things, Ah Niang and Du Nineteen are too, it's not so sentimental......" Cui Jianxuan said and coughed dryly, "Thirteen Niang is the most haode sister in the world, I have always said so!" Okay, Brother over there, they're entertaining angels, Ah Niang, Du Nineteen and Thirteen Niang, they should be hungry too...... By the way, why isn't my sister here? ”

Cui Jiuniang, who was outside the dormitory, had been standing for a while, and when she heard this zuihou sentence at this moment, she left with a slightly gloomy face. Sister didn't show up, wasn't it because of the sentence she recklessly shouted at the beginning?
