Although Jin Niang occasionally sends meals to Hanlin Academy, it is really rare. First, it is because the Hanlin Academy also has a canteen, and all officials of all sizes eat here, including the master of the Hanlin Academy, who sometimes go home impatiently, and they also make do here. If Jin Niang sends food every day, she is worried that Xu Erlang will not fit in with the "small stove" every day, so she doesn't dare to go too far.

The second reason is that the willow alley where they live is some distance from the Hanlin Courtyard, and the cooked meals have changed their taste when they get here. So all things considered, Jin Niang rarely asks her subordinates to send food back and forth.

But occasionally the family made fresh food, and she wanted Xu Erlang to try it too, so she specially asked someone to send it.

And today's meals are all home-cooked, and there are no special ingredients in them, so do you need to send them in this case?

The question is so good, but Xu Erlang eats it very fragrantly. As soon as he tasted this taste, he knew that it was Jin Niang's handiwork. Jin Niang rarely cooks, but her cooking skills are good, although she is not as good as professional chefs and masters, but the home-cooked dishes she makes are delicious, which is quite in line with his taste.

Xu Erlang ate very deliciously, and Qu He replied with a smile, "It was said that the fourth girl was going to make clothes for the old lady and the old lady, but she was missing two colors of silk thread, so she came to the street." Miss Changle also had the heart to go to the shop to buy some rare medicinal herbs, so she came out with the four girls. ”

Xu Erlang bowed his head, and he had already guessed in his heart why Jin Niang sent the meal.

I'm afraid that when he took the car to the palace, he was seen by Pian Pian and Changle after passing through Suzaku Street, and the two little girls told Jin Niang about it, and Jin Niang was worried that he would have an accident, so it was clear that he was sending food, but he was actually looking at his safety.

Thinking of this, Xu Erlang asked Qu He to go back and send a letter, "Tell Madame that I will go to the pastry shop to buy her some auspicious ruyi rolls when I go home later, and then buy some rose lotus paste cakes, milk water rhombine powder paste, and cream pine cake rolls." Ask Madame how many other girls there are if you want to eat anything else. ”

"Yes." Qu He went out in response, Xu Erlang ate slowly, and packed up his things by himself, before making a cup of tea and slowly drinking to eliminate food.

By the time he tossed it down, it was already time to go to the yamen in the afternoon, and the rest of the adults in the yamen had also woken up, and were ordering the little servants they had brought to fetch water and wait for them to wash.

Xu Erlang went to the lobby of the collective office, and several officials of the Hanlin Academy, who had cleaned up, saw him and greeted him warmly. Along with the affectionate greetings, the art of speech inquired about the matter of telling His Majesty at noon, did he commit His Majesty's taboos, and did he get any reward?

Reward...... Naturally, there is none. is taboo, there is no such thing, otherwise Xu Erlang would not be able to stand here safely.

A few colleagues didn't hear any useful news from Xu Erlang, so they sighed in disappointment and went back to work.

Xu Erlang found his immediate boss, handed the manuscript that had been completed and proofread half to the other party, and then went back to continue reading and continuing to organize the manuscript.

It was still early in the afternoon, and Xu Erlang was invited by Suqian and Li Hehui to have a cup of tea.

Su Qian and Li Hehui are both measured, but they didn't inquire into his actions in the palace in detail, but just told him to be more cautious when he entered the palace.

Suqian said, "I also worked as an errand in front of the emperor once. "That time, I was taken by the master of the academy, so that the two vassal states came to pay tribute, and by the way, I wanted to bring back some books that promoted the etiquette and civilization of the Celestial Empire. Suqian was brought into the palace as a person who copied the book list. That was the first time he saw the emperor after the palace test and the apricot forest banquet. So counting and counting, he has lost three sides of His Majesty in this life.

Li Hehui is the emperor's nephew, because the emperor feels sorry for this ill-fated, partial and talented nephew, Li Hehui was able to enter the palace often after the imperial examination. Or chat with His Majesty, or play chess with His Majesty. His Majesty's favor for this nephew can also be seen, not only is there a reward from time to time, but even when he goes to the palace for a few days to escape the summer, he does not forget to take the nephew with him. Even, I heard that His Majesty has now begun to worry about Li Hehui's marriage.

Li Hehui is close to His Majesty, but he still understands the truth that a companion is like a tiger. He often walks in front of the emperor and has his own regulations, so a few implicit words at this time are enough for Xu Erlang and Suqian to face the king.

A few people didn't stop long, and dispersed after drinking two cups of tea.

Later, Xu Erlang really went to the treasures of the capital's premier pastry shop, picked up the fresh, hot-selling pastries, and bought some of each.

When he arrived home with these pastries, he saw Xiao Yu'er and Changle coming over from a distance.

Xu Erlang shook his head and chuckled, and Xiao Yu'er came to him in the blink of an eye, holding his father's thighs with both hands, and shouting in a soft little milk voice, "Daddy, I miss you so much." A pair of big dark eyes, but they didn't even glance at her father, and their eyes were all on the pastry bag. Look at the ruddy little mouth slightly open, as if there is shiny saliva flowing out.

Xu Erlang touched Xiao Yu'er's soft hair funny, and scolded with a smile, "Little glutton." As he spoke, he handed the bag of pastries to Changle, who was standing aside and looked at them with a smile, "You two can take it and eat it." ”

Changle smiled and replied, "Okay, thank you, second uncle." ”

Xiao Yu'er also let go of her father when she heard this, and while waving to her father, she pulled her sister and ran happily into the house.

Xu Erlang saw them stumbling and stumbling, and couldn't help but remind, "Run slower, no one will rob you." ”

At the same time, Jin Niang also spoke in the house, "If you want to eat it, let your father buy it for you, look at you two little girls...... Where is this still the appearance of a little girl. ”

Changle and Xiao Yu'er laughed, admitting their mistakes with a good attitude, but looking at this attitude, it was obvious that they didn't take it to heart.

Jin Niang was so angry and funny, she simply didn't care about them, she took the official hat handed over by Xu Erlang, and went to the back room with him to change into regular clothes.

The restraints were untied, Xu Erlang breathed a sigh of relief, his expression was a little relieved, and Jin Niang saw this and said, "It's still hot?" Bear with me, it's autumn, and it won't be hot for a few days. ”

Xu Erlang said, "This year is a little hotter than in previous years, and the hot time is longer." I heard my brother say that the temperature had already dropped at this time last year, and I had to add an extra set of clothes when I went out in the morning and evening. ”

But now, it's okay to go out in the morning, after all, the sun hasn't risen when I go to the yamen, and it's a little cooler, but it's really hot when I go to the yamen in the afternoon. Especially Xu Erlang's firepower, he had to wet several layers of clothes.

Xu Erlang sat quietly in the room for a while before he eased up, and the heat on his body gradually subsided. At this time, Jin Niang brought him mung bean paste and sour plum soup to cool off the heat, and Xu Erlang picked and drank some, but it was much cooler.

At this time, I had time to talk to Jinniang about entering the palace at noon.

"It's not a big deal, it's just a routine lecture to Your Majesty." Speaking of this, Xu Erlang smiled, "It's not a book, but carefully speaking, it's more appropriate to describe it with the word reading." ”

Jin Niang: "Then you will simply go in and read to Your Majesty?" ”

"Hmm."

"What books did you read?" His Majesty's favorite books are definitely not ordinary books, and she asked several of her children to read them as well.

Xu Erlang: "On the Emperor". ”

Jin Niang: "...... Oh. "This idol can't be imitated, so don't imitate it.

After that, Jin Niang also wanted to ask His Majesty how the feedback was, whether His Majesty was round or square, His Majesty's mood and anger, and so on. Later, I thought that Your Majesty was too far away from their home, so let's not talk about Your Majesty, and talk about today's dinner.

After dinner, the three little girls went to sleep, and Xu Erlang led Jinniang around the courtyard twice before going back to rest.

Perhaps because it is almost August 15, the moon is very bright today. Although half of it is still missing, the light that sprinkles it reflects the whole earth in a hazy light, dreamy, quiet, quiet and pleasant.

The two didn't speak, they just held hands and walked slowly, and then when they saw the dew coming down, Xu Erlang took Jinniang back.

The days after that were still stable and peaceful, but His Majesty the Emperor didn't know if it was an invisible voice control, and after this announcement of Xu Erlang's entry into the palace to serve the book, there were two successive summons.

One of those two times was a routine lecture to the emperor, and the other was not. And these two times should not be Xu Erlang on duty, but His Majesty ordered him.

In this case, Xu Erlang can't be popular if he wants to. Therefore, there were faint voices inside and outside the court, saying that Xu Shiheng had really entered His Majesty's dragon's eye.

Someone comes to stammer, and naturally someone is disgusted. And the one who had a conflict with Xu Erlang was the original scrivener of the Hanlin Academy.

There are a total of four servants in the Hanlin Academy, and the one who was robbed of the opportunity by Xu Erlang to face the king is not an open-minded person. On the contrary, that senior was a jinshi several years earlier, and then passed the supplementary official examination and entered the Hanlin Academy as an official. It took more than 20 years of hard climbing to climb to the position of the sixth grade.

This is the result of his efforts for more than 20 years, but some people are lucky, and they are the sixth product as soon as they enter the Hanlin Academy. The partial family is still young and vigorous, and the future is bright, which makes the old-timers breathe.

That person already looked at Xu Erlang unpleasantly, but this time he didn't want Xu Erlang to seize the opportunity - he didn't dare to put the fault on His Majesty, so he could only be angry with Xu Erlang, but he didn't treat Xu Erlang as an enemy. But he himself is mediocre and incapable, so even if he doesn't like Xu Erlang, he can't block Xu Erlang. From this, I thought of the equation, and it was good with the equation, the two of them were in a nest of snakes and rats, muttering behind Xu Erlang's back every day, and the adults in the Hanlin Academy frowned repeatedly.

Li Hehui was worried that the two would do bad things behind their backs, and specially told Xu Erlang to be careful of those two. Xu Erlang never underestimated anyone, even if it was a nameless person, even if that person seemed to be lethal, he would label people as "focus on the target", and would order people to stare secretly. If that person really doesn't play tricks behind his back, otherwise, and some of them regret it.

Xu Erlang rose straight up, and Jin Niang was the first person to feel it.

Ask her where she felt it? This question is not too simple, just look at the posts in front of you that are getting thicker and thicker day by day, you can see how hot Xu Erlang is outside now.

When Xu Erlang returned home that night, he saw Jin Niang staring at the thick stack of posts in a daze, so he asked her, "What to do?" ”

Jin Niang said, "I'm worried." You see you're just walking up a little bit now, and our house is full of guests, and the posts are flying from all directions like snowflakes. Then when you soar and become a member of the party, don't you have to use a big bamboo basket to post to our house every day? Oh, it's like a city, although it's beautiful, but it's also very annoying to think about. ”

Xu Erlang didn't interrupt her sweet dream, but only asked her, "What's bothering?" Too many annoying posts? ”

"Not really. When the time comes, I'm busy reading posts all day, and I don't have time to play and go to the banquet. ”

Xu Erlang: "......" continue to dream, just be happy.

Later, it was the Mid-Autumn Festival, and at this time, Jin Niang also received a gift from her mother's family in Pingyang Town. Among them, there are many clay rituals prepared for her by her father and aunt, as well as small clothes and shoes made by her aunt for Xiao Yu'er and Brother Rong.

Of course, it may be that when Father Lin sent something, he specially asked Xu's mother if she wanted to send some too, so it was also mixed with some items given by Xu's father and Xu's mother. But at a glance, people know that these things are insincere, like items bought in the world in a hurry. There are clothes, shoes and socks worn by little dolls, and of course, there are clothes for children - it's a pity that I mistakenly took care of the size of Xu Erlang, Pianpian, and Xu Chong, and none of those clothes fit. Furthermore...... Not anymore.

The person who came to give the gift also sent a letter along the way.

The letter was written by Qing'er's pen, and in the letter, Qing'er explained that his parents were in good health, and his father's family conditions had greatly improved after he became a scholar, and the county order also wanted to invite his father to go to the county office to do paperwork, but unfortunately his father resigned, and his father was still teaching students in a private school in the town.

But because Father Lin is now a Jinshi, there are many times more students who come here than before. The family's private school could no longer fit in, so my father paid for the two courtyards next door to open up and build a small academy. At the same time, two talented people in the town were invited to come over to teach, and there was already a small climate.

He also went to teach in his spare time during the preparation for the exam, but because of his limited knowledge, he could only help children to enlighten. Even so, he has gained a lot from it, and now he feels that his studies have made great progress, and he hopes to be able to successfully pass the examination next year.

also vaguely mentioned that his father's uncle and aunt brought a family to congratulate him. When the family had dinner that night, my aunt mentioned that she wanted the two families to be close to each other, marry Mingzhu in, and conclude a good relationship with him.

Jin Niang saw that her heart was beating "poof" and "poof" here, she couldn't help frowning, and the expression on her face became not very good-looking.

It's not that she dislikes Cousin Mingzhu for not being worthy of Qing'er...... Well, it's a little disgusting. After all, although Mingzhu was not badly born, she could not read a single big character taught by her uncle.

Qing'er, he now has a Jinshi father, and he is also expected to be famous, according to Jin Niang's assumption, Qing'er's wife must at least be literate and hyphenated, and have a common topic to talk to him. This is the most basic requirement, and Jin Niang feels that this requirement is not high at all. Otherwise, let a well-read person face a market woman who only knows how to care about firewood, rice, oil and salt all day long, and it will be difficult to think of the situation in marriage after a long time.

What's more, it's risky for cousins to get married or something. You can't harm future generations because of the selfish desires of the two.
