Hu Yanjin came to the east gate of Shuiyue Tower as promised, which is the courtyard where the pearl girl lives, next to Shuiyue Tower, but it is not connected to it. Last year, the prince brought Hu Yanjin once.

There was a knock on the door, and soon a grandmother came to open the door. Hu Yanjin followed her into the bamboo forest path.

After a few spring rains, tall and low bamboo shoots emerged in the bamboo forest, and a lot of mud was splashed on the bluestone pavement.

Hu Yanjin noticed that this grandmother was in her forties, and the blue cloth clothes on her body were cleanly washed, flat and neat, and the most special thing was that she even had clean soles, and the mud on the bluestone slab seemed to be non-existent.

This is not something that can be explained by the word "love clean".

Entering the main hall, the imperial grandson was already half-leaning on a chaise longue, and the Mingzhu girl was making tea on the tea table in front of him.

Hu Yanjin's face was as usual, and he first asked his grandson to say goodbye, and he also wanted Mingzhu to smile and nod.

"Huyan, you know what? The world is so big, Lone can't find a place where he can make himself his own. Only the pearl girl is here, so that the lonely heart is unhindered and unrestrained. ”

"It is also a blessing for His Highness to have such a place. In this case, His Royal Highness should not take some mundane things to pollute the tranquility here, otherwise, it may not be so easy to find the second pearl girl in the capital. ”

Zhu Zhanji laughed and said, "It makes sense. Good! Today, we only talk about Fengyue, not about state affairs. If I knew this, I should have asked you to bring your buckwheat sister, who is also a wonderful person. Mingzhu, what new tunes have you learned recently? Give lone bullets. ”

Mingzhu saluted, smiled and retreated to sit down behind the Sateri piano stand, plucked the tips of his fingers twice to find the sound, and took out a small bamboo hammer and struck it gently.

"Huyan, your master has lived in Baoying for many years, right? I wonder if he would like to come to Jingshi? This year's list of 150 tribute students has been released, guess who I saw? ”

Hu Yanjin took the tea handed by the tea lady, put it under his nose and smelled it, and said with a smile: "Your Highness has asked so, I can't guess, don't you want to laugh at me for being stupid?" Is it Baoying's Xu Zhijin? ”

"It's him. I heard that he is also Mr. Wu's protégé? ”

Yes, Mr. Wu also treated him very fondly, and during his preparation for the exam, Mr. Wu often instructed him in his schoolwork, which can be regarded as the best among his protégés. Mr. Wu has passed his prime, and he will not leave Baoying again, but this Xu Zhijin, His Royal Highness can give it a try. ”

"Oh? Even if you hold him in high esteem, he will be extraordinary. Zhu Zhanji nodded thoughtfully.

A few days later, it was the palace test, and the emperor directly ordered him to say that if he was only a second-class jinshi, he could also be allowed to enter the Hanlin Academy as a Shujishi, and after a year and a half, he would be transferred to his own hands.

"Your Highness wants to pick and retain some of this year's jinshi?"

"Exactly, Lone is just a grandson, he can't get too close to the courtiers, and all he can use is his own James Mansion, and he really wants to find some people to stay by. Regardless of family background, only about character and knowledge. ”

Hu Yanjin had long known from Zhu Zhanji's attitude that he was eager to seek talent and was eclectic. He smiled and said: "Your Highness wants to choose people, why don't you choose them in the middle of the book?" ”

Zhu Zhanji thought about it, nodded and smiled: "It makes sense, the emperor's Jinshi banquet is placed in Zhongshu Province, and the banquet can indeed be glimpsed one or two." This is not a way for you, you can try it. ”

The two drank two more glasses of tea instead of wine, and Zhu Zhanji stood up and walked out.

Mingzhu girl stopped playing, walked to Hu Yanjin and sat down, and continued to make tea in place of the tea lady.

"Lord Huyan is really a rare young talent, and he is so close to His Royal Highness the Grand Sun, it seems that the future of the adult is immeasurable."

"Oh? Is it? ”

Hu Yanjin spread out his left hand, looked at the lines in his palm and said with a smile: "Some people say that I have a rough life, but the girl says that I have a bright future...... I don't know if the girl is right, or if the palm line is accurate. ”

Mingzhu smiled: "I can't imagine that Lord Huyan still believes this." I don't believe it, can a few lines growing in the palm of my hand still decide my fate? As she spoke, she subconsciously spread out her right hand.

It's too late, it's too fast, Hu Yanjin grabbed her hand, pressed a few thin calluses on her palm with his thumb, and sneered:

"I don't believe that this cocoon, which only has a bow and arrow, will grow indiscriminately on the hands of the girl who plays the piano!"

Mingzhu wanted to withdraw his hand, but Hu Yanjin grabbed the pulse gate and clamped it to death.

He whispered, "Say! Who are you? Why did you want to assassinate the emperor on the day of the race? If you're not honest, don't blame me for not knowing how to pity the fragrance and cherish the jade! ”

As soon as Hu Yanjin spoke, Mingzhu knew that he had come prepared, and he seemed to have concluded that the purpose of his visit to the Spring Racecourse that day, the cocoon on his hand, was just a flaw that he caught.

"What nonsense are you talking about? How could I go to assassinate the emperor......"

"What you hid in your sleeve that day was a barrel-shaped sleeve arrow, right? Don't think everyone else is stupid! Hu Yanjin didn't give her a chance to deny it at all: "If you don't say it, you won't be able to pull the bow with this hand." ”

Hu Yanjin turned his back to the door, but Mingzhu clearly saw that Zhu Zhanji was walking towards the hall after changing his clothes.

Mingzhu smiled and said, "It's okay to tell you, but that big girl of yours has to be handed over to me, otherwise, what if you leak the secret?" ”

Hu Yanjin added another handful of strength to his hand, and pinched Mingzhu so much that he almost burst into tears. He said coldly:

"You'd better not beat her mind."

"Ouch, Lord Huyan, you hurt me, it seems that you really won't pity the jade!" Miss Mingzhu sent her grabbed hand into Hu Yanjin's arms, as if she was pulled into Hu Yanjin's arms, and half of her body also owed.

The vanilla incense on her body drilled directly into Hu Yanjin's nose.

Hu Yanjin frowned, secretly screamed that it was not good, let go of Mingzhu's hand, and was about to push her out, but Mingzhu was willing to let him go, but grabbed his hand and put it on himself. The mouth called:

"Don't be like this, my lord, the slave family is already a woman of His Royal Highness, you force me like this, how can I live?"

Zhu Zhanji, who was outside the door, heard her words clearly.

Hu Yanjin is familiar with the pearl of the mixed scene in the affairs of men and women? As soon as the woman's body came over, he felt uncomfortable, coupled with the eagerness to get rid of her entanglement, from Zhu Zhanji's point of view, it really looked like he was forcing Mingzhu.

"What? Drunk after two cups of tea? ”

Zhu Zhanji said lightly that he had long been used to it, and joy and sorrow were not good.

"Your Highness, Lord Huyan is young and vigorous, that's just a joke with the slave family, don't blame him." Mingzhu wants to laugh and cheeks, and the tangled appearance is so distressing.

Hu Yanjin secretly sighed that he was still too inexperienced, he stood up and bowed to the imperial grandson:

"Those who are clear are self-purifying. Among them, Wechen can explain. ”

"No need to explain, I believe you."

Faith is faith, how much is faith?
