Yang Su opened the food box and saw that there were fragrant, tender, small and lovely freshly made pastries lying inside. "Crystal dragon and phoenix cake! That's a good thing. ”

When Pei Xu came in, he saw the food box on the table, and asked, "Who sent it?" ”

He first bowed to Zhongshuling and others in the morning, and then hurriedly went to Ximing Temple, and came back in two or three hours, and came here to guard the official office.

"Sheren, this is sent by Feng Zhan from the Guozijian, just because tomorrow is his birthday, I want to invite you over." Yang Su said. "You're back, I've been waiting for you for a while. I'm still asking you for something. ”

It took the boss a lot of effort for Yang Su to get here, but in the end, the little official who knew him let him in, so that he was spared a storm.

Pei Xu opened the box and took several volumes.

"Take it."

Pei Xu glanced at the jujubes embedded in the glutinous rice, "If you don't send it early, you won't send it late, but I'll send it later." I'm going to go to the meeting later. ”

"Why are you so late today?" Yang Su laughed.

"Actually, I came before dawn, and then I sent someone to ask me to go to Ximing Temple, so there was no one here."

Yankang Fang Ximing Temple, Zhao Rui had been there for a long time before. When he had any troubles, he would go there and rest for a few days. He sighed softly, this trip was not easy. Just accompanying the prince to recite the Buddha, most of his clothes were revealed.

Yang Su was quite puzzled, "What are you doing there?" ”

"When the crown prince came there to fast for a day, he sent a messenger to ask me to go to Ximing Temple in the early morning." Pei Xu sighed again.

"What's wrong with you? As soon as I came, I was preoccupied. ”

"Well, I'm still waiting for the mid-day break. I've been busy for so long, and I haven't been quiet. Pei Xu chirped: "In the current situation, I have to be tired to death." ”

Yang Su smiled: "What's wrong with you?" ”

"The king of Yong'an County, the king of Anding County and others will come out of the cabinet, and they are still waiting for the book. I urged the Ministry of Rites a few times, but there was no letter. When the time comes, all the officials will be together, and something will go wrong, won't this embarrass the kings and prime ministers? Pei Xu's brows were deeply locked, and the matter in his hand almost crushed him to death. Not only that, but there is also the old man who is about to give his respect, and the new housekeeper doesn't know who it will be. ”

The Chinese scholars are in charge of the march, and the senators are in charge of the seals, the drafting of edicts and edicts, and the edicts of the seals. The matter is critical, and the first thing is the four prohibitions. (1) Pei Xu was named a scholar of the Zhongshu House on the same day, which made countless literati hot.

"Who are you talking about?"

Yang Su didn't know about the affairs in Zhongshu Province, so he asked him.

"Hey, Wei Ge hasn't come to the political hall for half a month because he is sick, and I heard his family say that he can't eat water and rice." Pei Xu whispered.

Yang Su was surprised, "There is no news at all." ”

Wei Ge Lao is an example of the middle scholars, with the deepest qualifications, the longest age, and the division of the Ministry of Officials. When he pushed it down, maybe a group of people were waiting for their seats. As the saying goes: the extreme appointment of scribes, the grand election of the imperial court. Who doesn't want to be close to the eight living blocks and the Jianya Kaifu, it just so happens that the scholar is such an eye-catching position.

"It's not that there's no news, it's not allowed to spread the word." Pei Xu took a bite of the crystal dragon and phoenix cake, "Yes, the glutinous rice is very fragrant." You can try it too. ”

Yang Su took a piece, thinking that he was much worse than him, and there were many news stories that he didn't know, and Pei Xu could always know first. There were some things he shouldn't have asked, so he didn't ask. "Don't you like to eat? I also talked about the fragrance while eating. ”

"You don't want to think about what this is, you sent things into the political hall early in the morning, and it was a shame that he wanted to get it, and he didn't throw it all out to count him as a creation." Pei Xu was so angry that he couldn't eat it and threw it back on the plate.

Yang Su smiled without saying a word, and took a bite of the red date glutinous rice cake.

"Do you know there's an allusion to the bread delivery?" Pei Xu swallowed the pastry and ate tea to quench his thirst.

"You have a lot of allusions in your stomach, don't sell the Pei She people who can memorize the grave book backwards, say it quickly." He poured tea for Pei Xu.

Pei Xu stretched out his voice, "I don't know which dynasty and which generation, a certain year is on the Yuan Festival." ”

"Oh, you really sold it." He also eats tea.

"The story is nothing, but there is something to hear." He said slowly: "During the Lantern Festival, someone sent soup cakes to Ling Jun. ”

He smiled and said, "Send soup cakes? It's amazing. ”

Ling Jun also asked, why do you have to send soup cakes? The man directly said that soup is water, as the so-called fish in water. He chuckled and took a sip of tea.

Yang Su smiled: "Hey, there is such a person." ”

"And later, Ling Jun opened the thin cloth, and it was full of gold cakes. There are twenty or thirty horseshoe-shaped ones. Pei Xu sneered.

"Strange, strange." He laughed.

"That's why I only thought of those four words today, and I felt extremely annoyed." Pei Xu sent him the letter.

"See for yourself."

Yang Su silently recited in his heart: "My son is dull and careless. The friendship of the world, I hope that the bachelors will teach one by one. "Dare to be affectionate, this is Feng Shangshu going through the back door for his son.

also sneered: "See the letter burned." He lit the corner of the letter to the oil lamp, and it was immediately reduced to ashes. You see, he hasn't tried it yet, so he'll hand them over to me first. Whoa, I'm so saddened. ”

"You are not afraid of shame, and when the other people see your sad face, they will laugh at you again."

"Don't be afraid, they have already gone home to rest, leaving me a lonely ghost. There are a lot of old people in the pavilion, but when they see me, they ask, is the matter of the Ministry of Rites over? Is the edict finished? With a sour face, I don't look at them. Pei Xu snorted.

"Hey, others can't wait to pounce when they see it, but you hide when you see it." Yang Su pointed at him and almost laughed.

"It's not Pei Shangshu yet," Pei Xu sighed deeply, "Don't mention it, it's almost noon soon, and I still want to eat lunch." ”

The general servant came in, "I'm afraid you won't be able to eat again." He arched his hand and said, "Xia Guan has seen the Zhongshu people. ”

Yang Su guessed that he was a confessor, so he was busy saluting. Because he was the smallest, he did not say a word.

Pei Xu said: "But there is a will to labor the army? ”

According to the prince, he was scheduled to inspect the armor on March 25. Yang Su heard someone muttering about Sergeant Guan in Chongwen Hall.

"Exactly, please hurry up and draft the edict." The general said.

Pei Xu couldn't help frowning, and secretly became annoyed, "I'm the only one here today, and for such a big thing as the edict, all six of them have to be here." I'm not here tomorrow, what can I do?. ”

"It's okay, the lower official has already sent someone to invite, you don't have to worry." The general said with a smile.

"Hey, you're in a hurry to use it this time?"

From noon to night, it was very busy. Running east and west, from the council office to the torture room, it took several trips back and forth to be cleared. When Pei Xu came home at night, he almost slept in the yard.

(1) The four prohibitions of the Chinese scholars: abide by the prohibition of leakage, the prohibition of delay, the prohibition of loss, and the prohibition of forgetting. They can express their preliminary opinions on the handling of the major military policies discussed in the province and the reports in the newspapers, and sign their names, which they call "five-flower judgments."
