Chapter 45: Do Not Disturb
Talking with a smile counts, in order to read a book, he really didn't leave the general's mansion for half a step.
She stayed in the meditation pavilion day and night, except to eat and sleep before going out of the building.
Ban Yue wanted to talk to her several times, but she hung a sign at the entrance of the second floor:
Do not disturb.
He was afraid that he would forcibly disturb her, and she would not come at all if she was angry.
Therefore, he wanted to stop her at the gate, pretending to run into her accidentally, and say hello to her in order to resolve the deadlock.
However, I couldn't touch her every time.
I don't know when she came in and out, but it was always when she wasn't there.
In the end, he couldn't help it and went upstairs to break in.
The attic is roof with a slope and three skylights at the bottom of the slope.
There was a table next to the skylight, and at some point a screen was added by Hanxiao to block the view.
There is also a sign hanging on the screen:
Do not disturb.
Are you just guarding against me? Banyue stopped in front of the screen, cleared his throat and said, "Smile girl, are you there?" ”
"Look at the four words on the sign." He replied coldly with a smile.
"Just say a word."
"Don't disturb!"
He was dumb for a while, and he couldn't be cheeky.
So he adopted a roundabout policy and found Jin Ning and asked him to convey his meaning to Hanxiao, hoping to have dinner with her.
Jin Ning showed a surprised look: "Can't you see her in the same building?" ”
"What so much nonsense!"
"I'll go." Jin Ning immediately went upstairs.
He didn't have as many scruples as Banyue, poked his head out from behind the screen and looked in, only to see Hanxiao sitting cross-legged on the puff mat, lying on the desk and reading the book with relish.
"Hey, smiling sister." Jin Ning smiled.
"Don't you see it, don't bother?" smiled and didn't raise his head, "If you have something to say, you can let Xiaoyue convey it." ”
"You don't recognize your six relatives now?"
"I just have a little time to study, and then I don't have a chance."
"Please give a stick of incense time."
"You say." He looked up with a smile.
"You really don't want to go and see the yard yourself?"
"You can go wherever you want, as long as there is a natural living water pond in front of the building, I don't ask for anything else."
"Now there are two choices, one yard is in the downtown area, and the other is in the suburbs, and the downtown area is 50 taels of silver more."
"You get what you pay for. When buying a house, the location is the most important, and it will be easy to sell in the future. ”
"Understood. There is one more thing, the general wants to dine with you. ”
"If you don't eat, please tell me, I'll leave after reading his book, and if he harasses me, I'll move out of the General's Mansion in advance immediately."
Jin Ning gave her a thumbs up: "There is backbone." ”
Then he went downstairs and told Banyue the words with a smile word for word.
Ban Yue felt very shameless, and waved his hand to let Jin Ning go.
It upset him.
In fact, I am not afraid of heaven and earth, but for some reason I am afraid that I will no longer take care of myself with a smile, but I can't find a good solution.
Jin Ning was obviously on Hanxiao's side, and he couldn't expect him to help him in any way.
The only one who can complain is Fan Lu.
He rode to Taixue to find Fan Lu.
Taixue is the highest institution of learning in Puguo, built on the Purple Mountain to the northeast of the Imperial Palace.
The wide nine steps lead to the Taixue Gatehouse, which is topped by two layers of roof, with a wide roof below and a narrow roof above, and two feathers stuck upward, like wearing a doctor's hat.
On the large plaque between the two roofs is the word "Taixue" written by the founding emperor, smeared with gold powder, solemn and rich.
Emperor Puguo, all major ceremonies are held here, so the Ming Hall, Taimiao, Taixue, and Lingtai are all here, and there is a strong mysterious and inviolable flavor within the high walls.
Pan Yue took out his waist card and handed it to the doorman, only officials above the fifth rank can enter here, and Pan Yue just wiped the edge - the fifth rank general.
The pavilions inside are quite elegant, hidden among the towering ancient trees, and the scenery is better than any place of interest.
Ban Yue asked a lot of people before finding Fan Lu in the library of the Taixue Academy.
He was writing in his own study, the bamboo pieces had not yet been bound, and the desk was piled up everywhere.
The bamboo slips are placed at random, and the whole room looks very messy.
"Distinguished guest." Fan Lu glanced at him, didn't want to put down the brush in his hand, and continued to write.
"I found that few people who love to read like to tidy up, why?" Banyue doesn't like such a messy room, and he is already in a bad mood, and he feels even more depressed when he comes here.
"There's no time." Fan Lu replied.
"Ask a scholar to clean it up for you."
"They cleaned up, but I couldn't find my stuff anymore. Don't look at it like that, I know where everything I need is. ”
After Fan Lu finished speaking, he suddenly came to his senses and put down his pen: "Why are you here?!" ”
"Only then did you find out that it was me?" The corners of Banyue's mouth are upturned, nerd!
"You've come just in time, I've been wondering why water nourishes the skin. After research, I found that the normal water content of the human body accounts for six or seven tenths of the weight of the human body. In infancy, water accounts for more than eighty percent, adult accounts for more than seventy percent, middle-aged and elderly accounts for more than sixty percent, and old age is below sixty percent, not less than fifty percent. Obviously, as we age, the body is losing water, and this is the reason why people age and die prematurely. If the dehydration reaches 20%, it will be life-threatening. If you leave the water, everything in the human body will be disordered and stopped, and life will cease to exist! ”
Ban Yue was confused when he heard this, and his eyes were blank. When did this benevolent brother start to change from studying ancient books to studying the human body?
"Do you know who this inspiration came from? Ahh Fan Lu sneezed and picked up a cloth towel to wipe his nose.
"Who?"
"It's your beloved wife smiling."
Banyue's heart became uncomfortable, and he was trying to get rid of her influence on him, but he mentioned her.
"You don't know how much she enjoyed soaking herself in a bucket all day in prison. I also like to keep a big bucket of water in my bedroom and often go in and bubble in it. But I'm not as good as her, she can withstand a cold water soak, but I can't? Ahh He sneezed, "Look, it's cold." ”
"Can you not mention her?" Banyue said worriedly.
"Why?"
Ban Yue told Fan Lu what had happened.
Fan Lu said regretfully: "You are about to lose her." ”
Ban Yue put on an indifferent look: "Do you see how much trouble she gave me?" Let's go, it's just pure. ”
"How can I listen to your words full of regret?"
"I never regret it."
"Insincerely, I see that you have regretted it, so you are trying to make up for it, but it is difficult to change anything."
"Nonsense!"
Fan Lu smiled confidently: "You can't hide it from me." You asked the emperor to reinstate yourself as a general, and you wanted to return to the coastal defense camp to take office, just to avoid Princess Xueyin and make up for the things you regretted before, but will the emperor let you go? ”
"How do you know the result if you don't try?"
"I'm afraid it's in vain." Fan Lu spread out his hand, "You find a place to sit by yourself." ”
After looking for a long time, he finally found a place to sit, and he still smiled in his mind, and asked suspiciously, "Why did Hanxiao ignore me?" ”
"You give her the impression that she is afraid of power and greedy for wealth."
I see!
I did regret agreeing to Emperor Pu Xuan to join Princess Xueyin's marriage proposal, but this was not my original intention.
"I want to leave a smile, do you have a good idea?" He finally told the truth.
"I'm afraid it's hard to recover."
"Is it that serious?"
"The emperor rewarded Hanxiao with a hundred taels of gold, and also rewarded him with jade, which shows that he wants to protect Hanxiao. You say, why should he protect a woman who has nothing to do with him? ”
These words reminded Ban Yue, glaring at Fan Lu: "You are not a nerd, I am the stupidest person in the world." ”
"You're not stupid, it's me who is a bystander, and you're a fan of the authorities."
After talking to Fan Lu, Ban Yue realized the seriousness of the situation.
Emperor Pu Xuan is known for being lustful, if he starts to laugh at the idea, how can he stop it?
He's even tougher than the prince!
"Brother, we'll talk next time." Banyue hurriedly got up.
I had to go to the palace to find Emperor Pu Xuan and tell him that he had repented and was unwilling to break off the marriage contract with Hanxiao, let alone join Princess Xueyin's marriage proposal team.
Hopefully it's still in time!
