At dawn the next day, Hu Yanjin was still eating soy milk fritters in the inn, and a prince in the Imperial Sun James's Mansion had already arrived, he glanced at it, and walked straight to Hu Yanjin, who was sitting by the window and watching the street scene with breakfast.

"This is Lord Huyan from Nandu?" Fu Cheng asked with a smile.

Hu Yanjin hurriedly stood up and saluted: "It's down." ”

Fu Cheng also made a flat salute and said with a smile: "The surname is Zhang, and he is the Fu Cheng of the Emperor's grandson James Mansion." I have come to bring you into the palace. Don't rush, you eat first. The imperial grandson will not be able to see you until the early dynasty, and we will go to the James Mansion to recognize the door in a while. ”

After speaking, he also sat down with Hu Yanjin, turned around and waved at Xiao Er: "Have a soy milk fritters!" ”

Looking back, he explained: "I got up late today, I was in a hurry to order, I didn't eat breakfast, and I just borrowed your table for two bites." ”

"What's that? I can't ask for it. Hu Yanjin saw that he was not outside, but his heart was relieved, and he couldn't help but ask curiously: "I just entered Beijing, why did you find it?" I didn't see the registration when I entered the city? ”

"Hey! How can there be such a great power? It's Master Yi from the Criminal Department, who came to tell us early in the morning that you have arrived, and the imperial grandson got a letter, saying that I invite you to have lunch at noon, so I won't notify you that you are here? When I came in, I saw your outfit, and it was not far from ten. ”

Zhang Fucheng broke the fritters into several sections, put them in soy milk and ate them, he glanced at Hu Yanjin, and said with a smile: "When I see you eating the whole fritters like this, you are a foreigner." This has to be soaked and eaten before going to the fire. ”

When Hu Yanjin heard this, he also learned from him to soak the fritters in soy milk.

"I only entered the James Mansion from the Hanlin Academy last year, and I am not familiar with the people over there in the South James Mansion."

"I only entered the South James Mansion last month, and I only know one horse in it."

"Well, I heard that you were personally ordered into the mansion by the emperor's grandson. When the imperial grandson heard that you had arrived today, he was very happy...... This time, you have made meritorious contributions to arresting Chen Kai and given the emperor's grandson a long face, and it is estimated that he will not be far from promotion. In the future, you will have to take care of your brother. ”

Hu Yanjin was stunned for a moment, then smiled dumbly: "What are you talking about?" I'm new here, and I don't know any officialdom rules, so Master Zhang has to take more care of it, besides, how can Nanfu be compared with Beifu? ”

What he said, Zhang Fucheng likes to listen to it, they from the north mansion, they look down on the south mansion in their hearts, if Hu Yanjin is floating, I am afraid that I will have to step on two feet to make him sober and sober, since people are conscious, it is easy to say.

While speaking, the two of them finished eating, and they didn't need to ride horses, so they went to the palace with a dada. Along the way, Zhang Fucheng pointed to the introduction, where to eat, where to drink.

Daming was originally forbidden to gamble and ban plays, but after moving the capital, those who have money and leisure are also bored, and some people with backgrounds secretly open, or fighting cocks and crickets, or singing in Hualou, and even gambling on leaf cards, the government also turned a blind eye, and it was over without making trouble in front of the emperor.

"Let me tell you, the girl in Hualou on this street is not as good as a pearl girl in Shuiyuelou, but it is too difficult to get on her number, if you go now, it is estimated that you will have to wait until next month!" Zhang Fucheng drank wine in Shuiyue Building last night, and the door was clear.

"Oh? Is this pearl girl beautiful and beautiful, or is she talented? Hu Yanjin asked curiously...... Pure curiosity......

"Let me tell you this, her appearance is not inferior to the heavenly Chang'e, the key is that she can play a Western harp, called Sateri. That's called rare! ”

"Piano in the West?" Hu Yanjin remembered that Begonia had told him that Vega was in the constellation Lyra, and Lyra was a Western qin, so I don't know if it was the Sateri played by the Pearl Girl?

"How? Got in love, right? If you can stay in Suncheon for two more months, you might be able to feast your eyes. Zhang Fucheng laughed, and took Hu Yanjin to the two rows of majestic courtyards outside Chengtian Gate, where all the departments of the imperial court were concentrated.

Hu Yanjin looked up and saw that the first one was the Zongren Mansion. Zhang Fucheng pointed to the path behind him and said, "There are six departments in front, our James Mansion is in the back, and the Hanlin Academy and Tai Hospital are also in the back. ”

Ying Tianfu was different, because there was no one in the palace, and the crown prince always felt that the palace would be abandoned if it was not popular, so he asked the two James mansions to move to the side hall next to the Wenhua Hall to work. But who dares to sit in the Wenhua Hall for the prince and grandson? In addition, he has nothing to do, and he just receives a salary to support the elderly, which is what Hu Yanjin sees.

Except for Cheng Zhanshi who did not come back from the previous court, the rest of the people were there, Zhang Fucheng led Hu Yanjin to worship all the way from Shao Zhanshi, and then led him to the left and right Chunfang where Si Zhilang belonged. After recognizing their faces, Cheng James also came back.

Hu Yanjin had to go over and salute again.

"Lord Huyan is so young! Is there eighteen? Your surname is reused by the family, right? Is it Ying Tianren? ”

"Lord Hui, Xia Guan is already twenty years old. The surname Huyan is indeed reused in this dynasty. Xiaguan lost contact with his parents since he was a child, and grew up with his master, who is from Yangzhou. ”

"Oh." Cheng Zhanshi nodded and said, "The imperial grandson passed through Yangzhou Baoying last month and went to meet a local private school gentleman, that is your master?" ”

"Exactly. It was at that time that Xia Guan got acquainted with His Highness. ”

"I see. Today, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was supposed to receive you at a luncheon, but His Royal Highness the Crown Prince knew that you would return to Beijing and prepare to meet the meritorious ministers who had quelled the plot in the Wenhua Hall in the afternoon, and you were also among them, so the luncheon was canceled. You go back and get ready, and enter the palace in the afternoon to meet the two highnesses. ”

"Yes." Hu Yanjin didn't ask when and where to enter the palace, he knew that this question should not be asked to Lord James.

When he went out, Zhang Fucheng, who was waiting outside, said with a smile: "Sure enough, he is sensible, I am afraid that you will ask Lord Cheng for directions!" After that, he explained the time and place of entering the palace to Hu Yanjin, and gave him a waist card for entering the palace, and the two waved goodbye.

Huyan Jin returned to Yongfu Inn on the original road, and saw Yi Chengjin standing under the big willow tree outside the door with one hand behind his back from a distance. Now that it has passed the flying season, the emerald green wicker is swaying with the wind, and there are all kinds of indescribable styles.

"Went to James's House? I would have gone looking for you if I had known. The Criminal Department is not far in front of James House. Yi Chengjin smiled: "You also know about entering the palace in the afternoon, right?" After eating, we will walk together, so that you will not find the way. ”

"You said that the inside of the palace is the same as the palace of Yingtianfu, then I know the way. Go, where to eat? I invite you. ”

Yi Chengjin smiled even more happily: "I am the host here, how can there be any reason for you to invite?" ”

This street is not far from Zhengyangmen, and it is already the most lively street when it comes out of the central government office. The inner city of Shuntianfu was originally built first and then the official residence, so it was horizontal and vertical, and it was very well-behaved. In addition, the central axis where the palace is located, even if the roads are not connected, the direction is not easy to be wrong.

"By the way, there is a Hefushun on this street, you go and taste it, compared with Yingtian, how does it taste? The queen mother likes his roast duck the most, I heard that the roast duck master is very good, and there is no shortage of people in the palace. ”

Hu Yanjin patted him on the shoulder and smiled: "It's Hefushun!" ”
