Chapter 3 When I saw the little lady, I fell in love
Seventeen propped up the umbrella, covered her under the umbrella, brought a light breeze, and a chill appeared on her face, Yiren only then realized that the drizzle, the man leaned most of the umbrella to her side, and half of his body was outside, proudly: "I know all the little beggars in Kyoto, and that Jingming is a stubborn bone, a year ago he followed the refugees to beg here, although he was down, but he was born Sven, literate and reasonable, and he should have been a rich son in his early years."
Ye Yiren walked all the way with him, listened to him talk about Jingming's life experience, listened to him talk about the origin of the little beggar in Kyoto, and listened to him talk all the way, it turned out that Jingming was 12 years old, and there were so many beggars in Kyoto, and it turned out that the little beggars outside Kyoto were even more sad.
Walking from the door of the study, only to find that the study house and the restaurant are adjacent, the restaurant faces the bustling place of Kyoto, the study house is backed by the restaurant, the alley is separated by the alley, with a few copies of Kyoto is not quiet.
Only then did she remember that she didn't know who the son's surname was.
The man rested the umbrella on his shoulder like a girl's house, and said with a smile: "The little lady finally remembered to ask me?" I was still a little lady and only saw this side with me, so I didn't feel sad. ”
Ye Yiren looked at the unobtrusive appearance of the man in front of him, and he didn't feel disgusted, he was drenched in the rain all the way, his hair was slightly curled, and he stood on his waist.
The man thought for a while, but he didn't come up with a name: "The little lady calls me seventeen, I think it's different from others when you call me out."
"Why are you like this!"
Seventeen pretended to be surprised, and said: "When I saw the little lady, I fell in love, thinking that I couldn't scare you, and I thought I was cautious enough, I didn't think that I didn't hide it well, then Seventeen must pay attention next time." ”
It was the first time for Yiren to see someone express his emotions so bluntly, and he couldn't resist it, so he just thought that he was a little girl who was coaxing someone with clever words, quietly glanced at him, and turned around and entered the study.
Seventeen looked at her back, thinking about the face that was blushing with anger, and laughed a little, until the last blush disappeared, and then the smile on his face was suppressed, and then a chuckle came out of his chest, with a little charm.
His little princess, she is back!
"I heard that there has been instability in the court these days, and this people will inevitably suffer again." A man stood in front of the window with a scroll in his hand, looking in the direction of Miyagi in a daze.
When others heard his sigh, they seemed to be puzzled, but more helpless.
"This court is unstable day by day, I don't know which day Brother Li is talking about?" The joking voice sounded from behind, the man who spoke was dressed in a big sequoia, holding a pair of parrots in his hand to tease there, other men were hanging jade pendants around their waists, no matter how bad they were, they were also other fans of the elegant people, but he hung a pair of gold waist cards straight around his waist, afraid that others would not know that he was rich, and he looked like a gentleman, and he looked a little handsome.
Hearing this, Li Ruyan turned around and returned to the table, as if he couldn't see his peacock dress, the tip of his nose snorted lightly, picked up the teacup in front of him, and drank it unhurriedly.
Xie Chen was not annoyed, and sat directly opposite him, waiting for him to finish the tea.
I saw that everyone put down the articles and books in their hands, even the sour scholar who was talking about it stopped, and quietly looked at the two people sitting in the center of the hall, Ye Yiren sat on the second floor and watched the scene suddenly quiet, and was a little stunned for a while.
Xiao Pick saw her frowning slightly, consciously went out to find the matchmaker, the matchmaker is the head of the house, but also the princess's nurse, the no book house is a study, the princess suffers from eye disease, but loves to read, and the year of the public begging for grace to run the study, the princess is the lucky star of the Great Yan Kingdom, but also the emperor's most favorite princess, the princess is nineteen years old, the study has been done for four years, no study regardless of the merits, whether it is a court or a folk anecdote, can be discussed, no taboos.
Later, the children of the official family looked down on those poor scholars, and the unstudied house slowly became a gathering place for the children of the cold window and those who had a bad career, among which there were many strange people like Xie Chen.
Ye Yiren saw that Xiao Picker brought people up, and without waiting for her to salute, he asked, "Mother-in-law, what is the origin of those two?" The redwood man was young, and I think the two of them seemed to be quite prestigious in this library. ”
The matchmaker didn't care about the salute when she heard the words, knelt on the floor, gently grabbed the lotus seeds in front of her and peeled them on her hands, her eyebrows were full of love, and she replied without raising her head, these two people, he is familiar with them!
"These two people are frequent visitors to the study, the green shirt and robe, named Li Ruyan, came from Yangzhou to participate in the scientific examination, it is now the fifth year, usually live in the study, and will also help sort out and reproduce the books, the poetry meeting held by the study house the year before was also proposed by this person to host, quite knowledgeable, quite prestigious among this literati, but unfortunately the family is poor, destined to go this road more difficult than others."
Putting the peeled lotus seeds on the table in front of her, she continued: "The man in red is called Xie Chen, Xie Xiaogongzi followed his father to do business, his family background is very good, his ancestors were all officials, to his father's generation, it was said that this official did not know the taste of food, and resolutely resigned from the official to do business, and there were many industries in Kyoto, his father did not allow him to follow the official career, but supported him to mix with these people. Because of the business at home, I got a lot of news from various occasions, and I often talked about these news in the study. ”
Ye Yiren propped up his chin with one hand, and randomly twisted a lotus seed into his mouth with the other, looking at the two people downstairs.
After Li Ruyan drank the water, he lowered his head and straightened his white-washed robe, and said: "Liuzhou flood, I heard that the secretary of the Ministry of Industry died of illness a few days ago, and now the post of secretary of the Ministry of Industry is temporarily vacant, can the court be stable?" ”
When Xie Chen heard this, he also restrained a little carelessness: "Song Yi, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, does everything personally, and even personally supervises the construction of river bridges, but now he is above the court, I am afraid that there is not even a single official of the people." ”
Xiao Xiao sat on the floor with the matchmaker and peeled lotus seeds, seeing that the atmosphere was a little dignified, he said curiously: "Girl, why does Song Yi have to do everything personally, why do you say that there is no official of the people's parents, and the son of the Ministry of Works, I heard that he is also a knowledgeable person, why can't he be an official of the people?" ”
Ye Yiren snorted from his nose, and carefully divided the half plate of lotus seeds in half and put it in front of the matchmaker: "Mother-in-law eats, don't take care of Yiren." ”
He put half of his plate in front of Xiao Pick, and said lightly: "The ancestor Taiwu Emperor ruled the country with martial arts and unified the north, but the court was committed to cultivating his own henchmen, so that the imperial power was dispersed, and the relatives and royal relatives controlled the court, opposing each other, and for a hundred years, there has been a clear division between civil and military. ”
"Nowadays, the foreign relative Yu Shitai Gao Xuan is in charge of the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Households, the Ministry of Officials, and the emperor's uncle Prince Xiao holds the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Punishment in his hands. Song Yi, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, is upright, but he has been dragged down and tired all his life by this situation, and now that he is gone, how can the two sides let go of this opportunity, and how can they let the son of the Ministry of Industry Shangshu occupy such a position again. ”
Xiao Xuan listened, was a little stunned, dropped the lotus seed in his hand, and said indignantly: "Why is this so, shouldn't being an official be for the people?" How can they be so selfish! ”
Ye Yiren looked at Xiao Pick's angry red face and said lightly: "This situation is like this. ”
I can't tell if it's sighing or compromising.
