Chapter 42: Duanyang Festival (II)
Xiao Shao, who was abducted and deceived, can his words be a little accurate. Pei Xu sighed, "All the bad things have fallen on me." ”
If he wants to enter Yiyuan, he can only visit Han Zhen.
"Han Yonglin," Pei Xu chuckled.
After Han Zhen entered Beijing, the prince didn't see him, so he sent him directly to the secretary province. Zhao Rui didn't see it, but he Pei Xu had to see it. He asked Pei Ji to find Han Zhen for a drink, and met his future brother-in-law in advance.
The personable prince of the king, his temperament and talent are as good as Zhao Rui's.
Pei Xu went to see him, but he actually had a lot of concerns. In front of him, he was a country bun.
Worriedly, he walked to the gate of Yiyuan and looked up at the plaque. The plaque was re-engraved seven years ago, and it has been only a few years since it was eclipsed.
"Pei Xu, a scholar in the lower officials, asks to see the secretary and the young eunuch."
Menzi reported and then introduced Han Zhen's study.
Just crossed the threshold, did not see his person, first heard his voice: "Come, Honghui sit, sit." ”
The two can be called old friends, so they don't need to say anything on the scene.
"Brother Han, I haven't paid a visit, I hope my brother will forgive me." Pei Xu said euphemistically.
"You and I don't need to be polite."
Han Zhen is elegant and super-easy, dressed as a Confucian student, and his demeanor is very humble.
"Brother Han has been back in Beijing for more than half a month, and he didn't come to visit much, which is disrespectful." He was still a little worried.
"Honghui is outside." Han Zhen smiled and asked someone to pour tea. "Try the Lu'an tea of Shouzhou."
The servant girl skillfully poured seven points, and when he saw this, he said, "Thank you." ”
He touched the green tray and the lines were smooth and soft. So he looked at the Xuanqing glaze and knew that he couldn't afford it. Pei Xu didn't bother with tea, "Brother Han, have you gone to visit the prince?" ”
"Ah," Han Zhen's hand obviously stagnated for a moment, "I went three or four times, and I didn't see it." ”
Pei Xu just smelled the fragrance of tea, and he didn't have time to take a sip. "But I heard that Your Highness asked you three questions."
"Your Highness asked, how is my father doing? How is Uncle Clan? I also asked how Han Jing was? ”
Han An, Han Cang, there is another Han Jing. It is said that the Han clan has fallen, but it seems to be a hundred-legged insect, dead but not stiff.
Pei Xu paused, "How did Brother Han answer?" ”
"I only said that I was okay, but I didn't say anything else." Han Zhen said with a smile.
Don't ask meaningful questions and seemingly unintentional answers.
"Guo Baoyi, who made a fuss for a long time a while ago, what happened later?"
rashly talked about Guo Baoyi.
"Ah, the Holy Mandate came from Luoyang, so it was over."
After hearing this, Han Zhen personally trayed tea cakes for him. "Please."
Flattered, "Thank you." Pei Xu only looked down at the oil cake, "Ah, there is a sentence that I don't know whether to say or not." ”
He smiled, "Please speak." ”
"When I heard that Feng Shangshu came back from Luoyang, he closed his door. My colleagues wanted to pay a visit, but they didn't succeed. ”
"Shang Shu contracted an illness and recuperated at home, saying that he had a fever that did not go away for days." Han Zhen sighed.
In fact, Han Zhen is quite worried about this future brother-in-law, and some things are not easy to say directly.
"Have you seen the doctor?"
"It's not urgent, and if you take medicine, it's not in the way."
"That's good."
Han Zhen smiled and said: "Eat tea, it's not good to wait for the tea to cool." ”
"Hmm."
The fresh and pleasant is the fragrance of tea.
When Pei Xu tasted the tea again, the tea was nearly warm. "It's really good tea."
After sitting at Han Zhen's place for a while, he went to find Yun Zhao.
The two happened to bump into each other outside the house.
"Sacrifice people?"
"Hello girl." Pei Xu smiled like a spring flower, "I haven't seen you in January, and it's midsummer." ”
Yun Zhao was slightly stunned, "What are you doing in Yiyuan?" ”
"Naturally, it's just to take a look at the beautiful woman."
Her face changed suddenly, "It's not in shape." Yun Zhao turned his back angrily.
Pei Xu was so anxious that he begged for mercy, "I was wrong, don't be angry, don't be angry." ”
Since Yun Zhao was puzzled, Pei Xu could only take out the Yingluo ring. "What do you think this is?"
"My Yingluo, okay, you actually picked up Xiao Shao to tease me."
Pei Xu said innocently: "How can there be, he blackmailed the golden job bowl in exchange for this Yingluo." ”
Yun Zhao forced him to ask, "So, did he do it on purpose?" ”
"Yes, they also asked me for an extra hundred taels of gold a year. If you open your mouth, you will have to pull the silver and gold out of my bag. ”
It's really in line with Xiao Shao's open-mindedness to see money, and Yun Zhao simply listens to him.
"Well, what do you say about the beads on the Yingluo?"
Pei Xu stammered, "Uh, Xiao Shao," so he resented Xiao Shao even more in his heart. "He said something that the lower officials had never heard of, and the lower officials did not dare to confess."
His official tone was so thick that Yun Zhao couldn't listen to it at all.
"I want to cover it up."
"Well, it's true that I haven't heard of it. If you say something that breaks the law, the beads will not light up. Pei Xu said intermittently.
Yun Zhao suddenly remembered the peace charm of Changqingguan, "Say it quickly." ”
"What did he say, put the peace charm on the pearl, and then dip it in the water of the hundred knots, and then put it in the Nanmu box and then put a seal, and the seal indicated that the midsummer Dragon Boat Festival was sealed."
Is the blind man Xiao Shao? Otherwise, how could he have known this?
"I see, thank you."
Pei Xu asked, "Could it be that there is really a miracle?" ”
"Well, I was sick by a peace charm a few days ago, and it was a master who came to the rescue to save my life."
"Peace charms?"
It is really a peace charm, but there is really a thing of seeking peace but suffering misfortune.
Wan Zhao smiled lightly, "Fortunately, it's okay." ”
"Alas," Pei Xu sighed, "it's okay." ”
"Have you seen my second brother?"
"Yes, I just visited Han Yonglin. Leisure is very leisurely. ”
"Hmm."
Yun Zhao didn't say much about Han Zhen, but only looked at the large area in front of him.
"Speaking of which, today is the Duanyang Festival, why didn't I see you take a calamus or mugwort leaf?"
"Ah, the girls love to play and beg for it, along with the purse or something, they also went away."
Pei Xu smiled: "I don't think so, there are always one or two things that can be given to me as a ritual." ”
"It's not serious, you have such a big face. Maybe I took someone else's earlier. Wan Zhao sneered.
"Not really. I must receive the prince's reward, and I dare not ask for anyone else's. What do you want me to do? ”
"So come and loot my benefits, and tell you, I don't have a gift."
She turned her head, pretending not to see him.
"Okay, but I've already given Xiao Shao a gift for you. He snatched my golden bowl, so naturally he is going to trouble you. ”
"The Golden Bowl? What Golden Bowl? What's the anecdote behind it? ”
Pei Xu smiled: "Well, I asked him for Yingluo, but he asked me for a golden bowl, and he also came with an additional hundred taels of gold." You say I don't want to look for you, who are you looking for? ”
"It turns out that this Yingluo is worth so much money, and I have to pay it back with blood and sweat. I'll send someone back in the future. ”
"It's just a joke, it's hard to buy love things for a thousand dollars, and you don't lose money by exchanging a golden bowl for it."
Yun Zhao smiled prettyly: "Pei She people are really willing to work hard. ”
