King Ning is not angry with the moon sè like a hook, just at the time of **, the fragrance of the cinnamon huā tree in the huā garden near the left of the east palace blows in from the small window, dispelling the humidity and stuffiness in the small hall.

On the table of the Eight Immortals by the window, Liu Chengfeng, Zhu Houzhao, Liu Jin, and Zhang Yong each took a leg of the Eight Immortals table.

"Self-mo, mushy!"

The muscles on the faces of Liu Jin and Zhang Yong, who were sitting on the side, twitched, and they looked very painful.

Liu Chengfeng leaned over, opened all the rows of wooden blocks on Zhu Houzhao's table, and said with white eyes: "This is fried paste, pay for it!" ”

Zhu Houzhao was angry, raised the single chapter in his hand and said: "You were also like this in the last game, why can't I?" ”

"Is there one?" Liu Chengfeng's face was not shocked, and he said slowly: "I am the seventh pair, what are you?" ”

“***！” Zhu Houzhao scolded.

"Grass! His Royal Highness the Prince, you scold! Who taught you this? Liu Chengfeng's eyes burst with anger.

Zhu Houzhao stiffened his neck and said, "It's you!" ”

Liu Chengfeng was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Really? Even if the master inadvertently said some foul language, you can't learn it, and the master also taught you the eight honors and eight shames, why don't you take it to heart? ”

Zhu Houzhao's face showed a hint of shame, Liu Chengfeng saw it in his eyes, and said in his heart, this kid is actually very good, at least he knows how to be ashamed.

Zhu Houzhao raised his head again and said, "Master, no, you just scolded people." ”

Liu Chengfeng said: "As a teacher, he is a Sven person, where is he scolding?" ”

Zhu Houzhao said: "You said 'grass'! ”

Liu Chengfeng's eyes widened and said, "Did Master say it?" His eyes looked at Liu Jin and Zhang Yong, Liu Jin turned his eyes away and ignored him, but Zhang Yong nodded at him with a smile.

Liu Chengfeng said: "Even if I said it, the grass is not a curse, is it that I grass you are also a curse?" ”

"It's just scolding, don't think that this palace doesn't know." Zhu Houzhao was so angry that his lungs were about to explode.

Liu Chengfeng's old face turned red, and he said earnestly: "If the master says no, it's not." ”

"Okay, Master, then I'll grass you! Grass! Grass! Grass! Zhu Houzhao compared his middle finger and made a chaotic gesture towards Liu Chengfeng.

Liu Chengfeng was speechless, and he didn't dare to squeak anymore, so he had to sigh: "The children can't be taught, and the children can't be taught." ”

Liu Jin smiled and said on the side: "Your Highness, Master Liu, look at it according to the miscellaneous family......"

Halfway through his words, Zhu Houzhao had already fluffed his sleeves and said, "I didn't let you open your mouth." ”

Liu Jin was bored, glanced at Liu Chengfeng jealously, and sat back obediently.

Liu Chengfeng had no choice but to snort and said, "Okay, okay, tomorrow I have to go to the palace to compete with Zhu Chenhao for the article, go to bed early, hey, don't be in a hurry to go, let's calculate the money for playing mahjong first." ”

Liu Chengfeng tiǎn mouth, manipulated the abacus resting at hand, and fought with a snap.

Zhu Houzhao, Liu Jin, and Zhang Yong all looked at each other, looking very frightened.

After a crackling, Liu Chengfeng raised his head and said, "His Royal Highness the Prince, you owe seven hundred and thirty-two taels, Gonggong Liu, you are one thousand two hundred and forty-three taels, and Gonggong Zhang has the least, three hundred and fifty-four taels." Liu is a very good talker, and it is Liu's style of doing things to be forgiving and forgiving, everything is low-key, I don't want this mantissa number, take the money. ”

Zhu Houzhao, Liu Jin, and Zhang Yong were all dumbfounded, and Zhu Houzhao said angrily: "Where are there so many?" ”

Liu Jin wanted to cry, his salary a year was only a hundred taels, and after a few laps in the past two hours, it had reached 1,200 taels, even if he sold himself into slavery, he couldn't make it up. also blamed him for losing red-eyed, at first he said that it was a hundred mosquitoes a game, but later it rose to ten taels or fifty taels of silver, but he didn't expect to owe so much silver on credit now.

Liu Chengfeng said: "Master's character, His Royal Highness can't believe it?" Okay, I can't believe it, I'll settle the ...... with you game by game."

"No, not necessarily...... Hongu ...... This palace doesn't have so much silver on hand now, and this text is provided by Tieba. ”

"Yes, Master Liu, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince doesn't have it, let alone those of us who are slaves." Zhang Yongyu said with a smile.

Liu Chengfeng snapped his fingers and said: "Simple, I'm not an unreasonable person, just write an IOU if you don't have money, even if you have three points, it's a good ......."

Profit on the ...... This is the donkey rolling.

However, Liu Chengfeng couldn't manage so much, took a pen, ink, paper and inkstone, quickly wrote an IOU, and asked the three of them to draw a charge, before clapping his hands and saying: "Tomorrow is the competition in the palace, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince should also take care of it, sleep well tonight, and give Zhu Chenhao tomorrow to see how powerful His Royal Highness is." ”

Zhu Houzhao lost the money and looked listless.

Liu Chengfeng saw him lazy, raised his arms and shouted: "Hit that *** Zhu Chenhao!" ”

Zhu Houzhao perked up and said: "MB's Zhu Chenhao! ”

……………………

The ten-day period has passed, the first nine days, Liu Chengfeng began to tell stories to Zhu Houzhao every morning, or to the huā garden of the East Palace for a walk, saw a huā, or talked about which character, then taught Zhu Houzhao to think about it first, and then write an article after understanding, and then explain and revise it to him over and over again, such an educational method made Zhu Houzhao full of interest, Zhu Houzhao is an extremely smart person, forty or fifty articles are written down, although not handy, But the quotation and use of words and phrases are no longer as jerky as they once were.

Liu Chengfeng's requirements are not high, as long as he is not ashamed, if he can play at a super level, it will be better. After all, Zhu Houzhao's opponent is not Jinshi and Xiucai, but a group of straw bale clans, these people can still be proud in the circle of the Zhu family, and if they go out and pull a show talent out, it is enough to shock the audience.

On the tenth day, Liu Chengfeng didn't teach Zhu Houzhao to read, but asked someone to carve mahjong and teach Zhu Houzhao to play mahjong.

Liu Chengfeng asked someone to remove the mahjong table, collected the money, and everyone dispersed and went back to the room to sleep.

The dim moon shone on the glazed tiles of the East Palace, the Guihuā tree stood slim under the moon shadow, Liu Chengfeng was stunned in this corridor for a while, and by the moonlight, he also returned to his bedroom.

If it is false to say that he is not nervous, this competition is related to his future, whether he can get the favor of the emperor and be the protégé of this son of heaven, he can only make a desperate bet.

"I hope ...... Let's win tomorrow! Liu Chengfeng thought in his heart and sighed faintly.

…………………………………………………………………………………………

Early in the morning, the city of Beijing was foggy, and the husband made the last shift, and he was already dragging his tired steps back to rest. The inner city of Beijing is different from the outer city, if it is the outer city, there must have been a lot of people on the street at this time, and everyone is busy with their own livelihood and begins to rush. But the silence of the inner city was like a wilderness, and even the lanterns that hung in front of the doors of the mansions at night were now extinguished.

Occasionally, there will be a few mansions with side doors opened, and a few servants and servants will come and go, but these people know the rules and tiptoe as much as possible, as if they are afraid of arguing with someone's nobles.

The east side of Min Comb Terrace, is a slip of Yamen, the most majestic of which is the Honglu Temple, the Honglu Temple occupies a huge area, stretches for hundreds of zhang, and the imperial inner city is far away, under the high arch wall, the pavilions and pavilions are endless. This is similar to the state guesthouse of later generations, it is a place to receive the envoys of various feudal states, in the past, most of the people here are silent, there are very few people who live, and those who come in and out are cleaning and repairing the errands, but these days are very different, the vassal kings flock to Beijing, have been arranged to live here, between the vassal kings, the south and the north, although it was one a hundred years ago, but they have never been méng face, no one knows, so the residence where everyone lives is also winding paths, a look of old and dead do not get along.

There are actually not many vassal kings and princes, and there are only dozens of them, but there are a lot of servants and retinues brought, and such a large group of people, speaking with various accents, naturally makes this place a little more angry.

Just after the hour, the gate of Honglu Temple has been opened, and out of the secluded doorway out of three or three people come in twos and threes, in front of the servant who carries a lantern and bows to show the way for the master, and then there are a few followers, and at this moment, two people in gorgeous clothes are pacing out side by side.

The older one, wearing a crown and a four-clawed python robe, has a big belly, and is rich and powerful.

Behind the elder man was a young man in a python robe, who was quite handsome, with a bit of sharpness hidden between his eyebrows, and his eyes were quite aggressive.

"Two princes, watch the road and walk." The slave with the lamp in front of him smiled and prompted.

However, these two people didn't pay attention to it, looking at the posture of this intimate conversation, it was like a pair of father and son, one door and two kings, the Ming Dynasty was not nothing, but at the moment, there were only two kings, King Ning and King Shanggao.

Ning Wang Zhu Jinjun looked at this day, and said slowly: "This time flies really slowly, and I don't know if the palace door has opened." ”

The High King Zhu Chenhao smiled at his father and said, "Father can't wait to make the emperor and the prince make a fool of himself?" ”

"I've been waiting for so long, and I finally have a chance, and my father really can't wait!" Zhu Jinjun smiled faintly, his fat head and big ears became a little ruddy, and continued: "How much loss has our Ning Wang family suffered? Until now, our ancestors have been laughed at by the world as clowns, Chenhao, you see ......" Zhu Jinjun pointed to the outline of the Forbidden City in the mist with his hand, sighed towards the outline, and said: "The ancestor was driven out of the capital by King Yan here, and this is fifty years. For fifty years, they lived in the Forbidden City, and the world was cloudy and rainy. Look at you and me again......"

Zhu Chenhao was taken aback by his father's rebellious words, and hurriedly said: "Father is cautious, be careful that the wall has ears, this text is provided by Tieba." ”

Zhu Jinjun sneered, glanced left and right, and said: "Here are all confidants, there is nothing I dare not say, my father means to tell you that this is what they owe us, they owe us, and today my father is just asking for some interest." ”！。
