Du Qingshuang held the tea tray, gently rested on the small machine beside Chen Ke, and poured the tea in the teapot into a pure white Dingyao tea cup.

Chen Ke saw that the tea soup was bright yellow-green, and the bars brewed were one shot and two flags, and the leaves and veins were complete, which was no different from the tea of later generations. He took a sip, closed his eyes with enjoyment, and said with emotion: "This taste is really nostalgic." ”

Du Qingshuang smiled and said: "People like to add cardamom to tea to cover up its bitterness, why does the son love it?" ”

"The mouth is full of spices, so people can't feel bitter, but they can't taste the fragrance of tea." Chen Ke held the teacup, looked at her with a smile and said, "Are you drinking tea or cardamom?" ”

"It's just strange, how can Gongzi like this bitter taste at the age of the fresh clothes and angry horses." Du Qingshuang smiled.

"Good tea is not bitter, but elegant." Chen Ke said with a smile: "This year is not the same, you call people next year, ten days before the Qingming Festival, to pick the shoots of this Yumao Peak." Then control the temperature of the pot, don't fry it too much, and when the time comes, you will taste it bitter or not. ”

"I'll definitely give it a try when the time comes." Du Qingshuang praised: "Childe is really good at tea, which shows that he loves tea more than Qingshuang." ”

"I prefer drinking more than tea." Chen Ke shook his head and said, "I just can't bear to see those precious teas being wasted." ”

"Why does Childe love wine more?" Du Qingshuang was slightly disappointed and asked quietly.

"Tea makes people sober, and wine makes people forget their worries." Chen Ke looked at Du Qingshuang's beautiful face and said, "Just like a beauty." ”

Du Qingshuang smiled when she heard this: "The son is young and rich, talented and beautiful, how can he still be worried?" Isn't it because you're worried about the upcoming autumn season? If this is the case, Qingshuang will not be able to disturb his son's studies again. ”

Chen Ke couldn't help but smile bitterly, after getting along these days, he knew that the difficulty of soaking in the water fairy was definitely beyond imagination. Even if she is kind to herself and doesn't pose like an iceberg, any attempt to tease her will be dismissed by such a tactful...... It's just a girl, do you know? This will only make people more ambitious!

"I'm not worried about the imperial examination." Chen Ke shook his head and said: "It's just a solution test, I still don't take the first test, if I don't pass the test, I should really screw my head off and kick it as a ball." ”

"Childe still has to be careful," Du Qingshuang said with a straight face: "The field is like a battlefield, beware of carelessness in Jingzhou." A talent like Liu Qigong has been wasted all his life, which shows that the imperial examination is not just a matter of knowledge. On her beautiful face, she said with a deep apology: "Qingshuang is really damned, she actually hooked her son all day long and did not do her job, which not only delayed her son's studies, but also tired her son's reputation." The beautiful woman looked gloomy and said: "It's because I'm too selfish, I haven't even thought about my son, until there are rumors recently, and I was shocked to ......"

"It's a shame on me." Chen Ke didn't care and said: "We are more innocent than shallots mixed with tofu, but we want me to bear the jealousy of all the men in Bianjing!" ”

Childe laughed. Du Qingshuang couldn't help but laugh and said: "Childe still focuses on his studies, so keep a distance from Qingshuang for the time being, so as not to hate the examiner and hinder your future." ”

"Do you know what's going on?" Chen Ke frowned slightly.

"Don't hide it from the son," Du Qingshuang said softly: "It is rumored that the person who presided over this autumn festival is likely to be the bachelor Xie Jingchu, who is old-fashioned and does not like frivolous talents the most......"

"The examiner of Qiufu should be decided in half a month." Chen Ke said strangely.

"The Ministry of Rites has indeed not decided yet," Du Qingshuang said lightly: "But in the prime minister's heart, there is already a candidate." ”

"How do you know the Prime Minister's mind?" Chen Ke said in surprise.

"The slave family has its own channels." Du Qingshuang covered her mouth and smiled.

"It's better to recruit it truthfully," Chen Ke didn't give up, half-joking, half-serious: "Otherwise, I'll be jealous." ”

"Childe really wants to know?" Du Qingshuang wrung the handkerchief in his hand and lowered his head.

"Of course." Chen Ke nodded.

"Okay." Du Qingshuang raised her head and said calmly: "The son of Zhao Wenxiang often visits Tianyin Water Pavilion. ”

In the Song Dynasty, the prime minister worshiped the scholars of the Zhaowen Palace, and the second minister worshiped the scholars of the Jixian Palace, so the people tried to call the prime minister and the second minister respectively by Zhaowen Xiang and Jixian Xiang.

Zhao Wenxiang is naturally Wen Yanbo.

Chen Ke was a little apprehensive: "It seems that your relationship is good, he even told you this." Even though he knew it was fucked up, he couldn't help but say it.

"Poof......" Du Qingshuang looked at it for a moment, and said with a little smugness: "Childe misunderstood, that Gongzi Wen is just a fan of Qingshuang," said with his eyes wandering, half-truths and half-truths: "And Qingshuang is your supporter of Childe." ”

Hearing Du Qingshuang's words, Chen Ke was as comfortable as a horse killing a chicken, but he still asked, "What other scoop news does Gongzi Wen have?" ”

"He is a famous minister, and he has no white contacts, so he naturally knows a lot." Du Qingshuang felt that Fang Cai's words were too heavy, and she had the heart to please him and said, "What does the son want to know?" ”

"I'm not interested in other people, I just want to know the anecdotes of Zhao Wenxiang." Chen Ke said quietly.

"Zhao Wenxiang's anecdote, Wen Gongzi naturally didn't say much." Du Qingshuang smiled and said: "It is said that the literary minister is elegant, does not burn incense when reading, and often sits in a pavilion after dinner, and the pavilion is full of orchids, and the public leans on the column to read the "River Map". Wen Gongzi was curious and asked, "How can you smell the fragrance of flowers from such a distance?" Wen Gong said: "If you smell the incense, it is not good, and you must wait for it to come because of the wind." I'm afraid this is the so-called 'dark fragrance floating'. ”

"Hehe......" Chen Ke laughed and said: "It's not difficult for Wen Xianggong to smell the dark incense floating, but I don't believe it when I can see "Hetu"? ”

"It is said that if there is this book," Du Qingshuang said unguardedly, "it was dedicated to the Duke of Wen by the Hebei Metropolitan Transit Envoy." ”

"Is that true?" Chen Ke said in a deep voice.

"Anyway, that's what the third prince said." Du Qingshuang said strangely: "What's wrong, is there anything wrong?" ”

"Hehe, I'm just curious." Chen Ke snorted and said perfunctorily: "Really look at what the "River Map" looks like." ”

"If the son really wants to see it," Du Qingshuang said: "Qingshuang borrowed it from the third son of Nawen." ”

"No need," Chen Ke didn't expect that she could say this, and she was a little happy in her heart, but she was more apologetic: "It's better not to touch this kind of ghostly thing." ”

"Yes." Du Qingshuang nodded and said, "Childe should concentrate on his studies." Saying that, he slowly got up and said, "Put aside the singing matter first, and after Childe High School, Qingshuang will come to ask for advice." ”

"Won't we see frost until next year?" Chen Ke said with a sad face.

"Don't get me wrong, Qingshuang is really just thinking about Childe." Du Qingshuang said softly.

"However, if I can't see Qingshuang every day now, I will have no intention of studying, what do you say?" Chen Ke said with a scoundrel face.

Childe laughed. Du Qingshuang said helplessly: "Studying should be a ...... without distractions"

"If I can't see you, I will have distracting thoughts in my heart." Chen Ke said with a presence: "Then I will inevitably think, how is Qingshuang doing today?" Didn't get sick, did you? Are there any high-rollers who force you to do things that you are not happy about......"

"Don't worry, Childe," Du Qingshuang's beautiful eyes flowed when she heard this, and a smug smile appeared on her face: "Qingshuang is no longer the time to debut, and now she is also a little famous, she can support herself just by performing, but no one can force me." ”

"Am I barely clearing the frost now?" Chen Ke looked at him with a heartache.

Du Qingshuang knew that he was acting, but he still felt tight, shook his head, and said softly: "It's Qingshuang who has been reluctantly son." ”

"Anyway, I'm used to coming to you every day." Chen Ke's gaze became hot, and he lowered his head at Du Qingshuang.

After a while, she raised her head, her beautiful eyes flowed, as if there was water vapor, but her tone seemed to be joking: "Childe is a good student, and in a few days, Qingshuang will come to check your homework......"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

In the afternoon of the same day, Chen Ke came to Liu's house.

He is still unimpeded, but this time he is looking for Mrs. Liu, not Liu Yue.

Old lady Liu took him to the inner room, pulled his gray beard and said with a smile: "Uncle Ouyang Yong's recital, you picked it up, it really made Wen Yanbo dumb and eat Coptis chinensis, and he couldn't say wow." ”

"The old lady has a word first, and she won't betray me." Chen Ke said lightly.

"Nonsense." Old lady Liu raised her eyebrows, and said domineeringly as always: "You dare to doubt my credibility? ”

"Don't dare." Chen Ke hurriedly surrendered: "This hand can only be delayed, not cured." Because Wen Yanbo still has a trump card in his hand, he can mobilize hundreds of officials to attack him, although the officials trust Marshal Di, they will most likely let him leave Beijing to calm the ...... of the people" paused: "At most, just let him be more decent." ”

"Di Hanchen can't leave Beijing," Liu Hao understood the dirty tricks of officialdom very well: "He is in the capital, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, those people can't do too much." Once he leaves Beijing, Emperor Tiangao is far away, and those people have a way to make him worse than death. ”

"I think so too," Chen Ke nodded and said, "And there is no more person of sufficient weight who is willing to risk the anger of the public and speak for Marshal Di." Now if you want to help him clear his name, it is very difficult. ”

"Boy, you must have a way!" Liu Hao said in a rough voice: "Isn't that right! ”

"I think it might be easier if we did it the other way around." Chen Ke asked in a low voice: "There is something, I don't know if the old lady has heard of it." ”

"What's the matter?"

"It is said that Li Shen, the transfer envoy of Hebei, once gave Wen Xianggong a copy of "River Map"?" Chen Ke asked in a low voice.

"The River Map?" He asked the right person, the Liu family is the largest clan in Hebei, and the wind and grass in Hebei can't hide Liu Hao's ears and eyes. The old lady pondered for a moment and said: "The year before last, I vaguely heard that someone had found a copy of "River Map", but everyone at the time regarded it as nonsense, and the officials of Hebei Road did not even report it. Actually dedicated to Wen Yanbo in private? ”

"It seems that this matter has a nose and an eye." Chen Ke sneered and said, "I heard that the old lady and Jia Xianggong are fellow villagers? ”
