The New Year is approaching, and the dignitaries and dignitaries in Lin'an City are all idle and preparing for Chinese New Year's Eve early. The ladies and ladies who have a good relationship are also looking for lively companions to travel together, which is a rare grand scene of the year.

There are many female dependents, and there is naturally nothing to talk about after tea and dinner, and the freshest is the county lord Zhong Zhuyu, who has been sealed for five years, but everyone has never even met him.

"What about the second aunt Liu who ruined people's reputation?" A beautiful girl opened a pair of apricot eyes and looked curiously at the woman who was talking on the side.

Seeing that everyone's attention was on her, the woman felt a little complacent, and deliberately hung their appetite: "Then Liu's ......"

"Oh, you can say it quickly."

The rest of the people around the woman also urged, and the woman stopped taking Qiao, and poured a bean to talk about what she had heard from her mother: "Then the Liu family was sent down by the county lord, and he was shaved off on the spot and escorted to the Buddha hall to worship the Buddha. ”

"Huh? Listening to your description, the county lord must be a brutal character. This Liu family did something to ruin people's reputation, and she actually spared her life? ”

"I don't know why." The woman who told the story stretched out her jade finger and took a red bean ball on a plate and put it in her mouth: "If you want me to say, this county lord is just a strong outsider." After all, Liu is the person in her father's room in the North King of Zhenzhen, no matter how arrogant she is, she has to look at her father's face, right? ”

"What Sister Chen said makes sense, I didn't expect so much." The delicate girl who spoke at the beginning echoed.

"Sycophants." The blue-clothed girl who was sitting a little farther away from them muttered in a small voice, very disdainful of the delicate girl's style: "I think there is another secret in this matter, the county lord can come back from Beiyi unharmed, I don't believe she is a good stubble." ”

The beautiful girl was scolded for being a sycophant, but her face was a little ugly, and she desperately grabbed the handkerchief in her hand to ease her face, and she stiffly opened the corners of her mouth at the blue-clothed girl: "What Sister Wan said also makes sense, I don't know who to listen to." ”

"It's just a matter of talking after dinner, why listen to who doesn't listen to whom, everyone has their own opinions." Wan Jinxiu stood up, as if she didn't want to join them: "You guys talk slowly, I'll go outside for a walk." ”

Several girls hurriedly got up and said, "Sister Wan go slowly." He looked at Chen Jinglan cautiously.

This Chen Jinglan is the girl who just told the story, her father is a Chinese scholar, and he has the highest official position in this small party - except for Wan Jinxiu, who has just left.

Wan Jinxiu's father is a newly appointed servant of the Ministry a few days ago, and Chen Jinglan's father is a four-grade official. However, the servants of the Ministry of Officials are in charge of the appointment and dismissal of officials, examinations, promotions, transfers, etc., even if the prime minister sees him, he treats him politely, and Chen Jinglan naturally does not dare to offend.

But it's late!

Dancing alone in the garden, in addition to the pleasure of raising her eyebrows, there is also an aversion to this kind of party.

His father is an official who won the fame in the cold window ten years of examination, although he is not the champion of that year, but he is also the top three Tanhualang, who has a great future, but he has been in the position of the Hanlin Academy from the nine grades for a full twelve years, and it was not until this year that he was appointed by the emperor as a servant of the ministry.

In the past, when she was the daughter of the Hanlin Academy, she was not less coldly regarded by Chen Jinglan, but this time she finally breathed a sigh of relief.

That's right, the purpose of her invitation to the small party this time was to respond to Chen Jinglan, otherwise she wouldn't have dealt with Sun Wanwan, a group of people who are used to seeing the wind and making the rudder and slap the horse, she looks down on it from the bottom of her heart.

"Wanwan, what did you invite this man to do? People who are accustomed to walking in the mud will behave like this as soon as they turn over, and be careful that one day they will fall into the mud again. ”

The beautiful girl is Sun Wanwan, who listened to Chen Jinglan's words at this time, but she didn't dare to agree, after all, her original intention of inviting Wan Jinxiu was to have a good relationship with her, but she didn't expect her to be so difficult to get along with: "I didn't expect her to have such a temper." ”

Sun Wanwan's grandfather was an official of the fifth grade, and she didn't need to be so careful to please others, but she had an unsuccessful father, and she dared to cause trouble everywhere after getting an errand from the eighth grade, forcing Sun Wanwan to come out from time to time to contact other ladies.

"Don't talk about her, just talking about the county lord, she did this, didn't the king of Zhenbei say her?"

"I haven't heard of that, but she's going to be disciplined for doing so." Chen Jinglan speculated: "Maybe the next day I will be grounded in the courtyard and punished for copying the "Female Commandment"!" ”

"Ahh Everyone covered their lips and exclaimed, apparently they had all suffered this sin. Seeing that everyone's reaction was the same as his own, he laughed again and gradually pulled the topic elsewhere.

And Zhong Zhuoyu, who was speculated to be grounded at home to copy the "Female Commandment", has been riding her cover outside the barracks every day for the past few days, and her life is not happy.

"County Lord, how did you find this horse, although this horse is good, it is too thin."

Hongpao, who had been following Zhong Zhuyu for several days, finally asked the question he had been holding back for a long time.

Zhong Zhuyu stood in the wind, and the cold wind blew her hair up.

She reached out and patted the neck of the horse that covered the sky, and smiled gently: "The sky is just a congenital deficiency, and it will be good to raise it for a few more years." ”

seemed to respond to her, and Sha Tian also rubbed her hand affectionately. Although they have only been together for a few days, one person and one horse are as tacit as partners for many years.

"That's nice." Hongpaw couldn't help but sigh.

"If you want, go to the barracks and pick one?" Zhong Zhiyu is very generous.

"No, no, no." Hongpaw waved his hand again and again: "How can a slave have his own horse." ”

"What if it's not a subordinate?" Zhong Shuyu asked rhetorically.

"What?" Talon didn't understand what she meant.

"Nothing." Zhong Zhiyu shook his head.

In the past few days in the barracks, looking at the soldiers who practice hard every day, Zhong Zhiyu always feels that there is a force in her body that is eager to try, what she wants to do, but she doesn't know what she can do. This feeling is not pleasant, she has been scratching her ears and cheeks secretly, but she can't think of a reason.

Hongclaw's words just now made her seem to have grasped a breakthrough, but she was still almost something.

Almost what?

Zhong Zhiyu fell into deep thought.

"County Lord, Twilight Cloud is here." Hongclaw reminded.

Zhong Xiuyu came back to his senses, and when he raised his eyes, he didn't see a human figure, and after a while, he saw Twilight Cloud walking briskly from a distance.

The skills of these dark guards are really powerful!

Zhong Zhiyu nodded secretly.

Twilight came forward and gave a quick salute, and went straight to the point without talking nonsense: "County Lord, someone from the palace has sent you and the prince an invitation." ”

"What invitation?" Zhong Zhiyu was confused.

"County Lord Ann." A white-faced little eunuch stepped forward to greet him. I think it was Twilight who brought it over, and deliberately fell half a step behind to give Twilight the time to report.

"The slave is the little plum who was ordered to send you an invitation."

"Father-in-law Li is good." Zhong Zhiyu nodded politely, and then took the invitation from Xiao Lizi from Twilight.

"On Chinese New Year's Eve, the Holy Lord held a Chinese New Year's Eve banquet, inviting all important ministers of the imperial court to bring their wives and daughters to the banquet together." Speaking of this, Xiao Li Zi paused, revealing a smile of honor: "The saint is grateful for the contribution made by the county lord to Dayu, and when he heard that the county lord returned to China, he specially gave the county lord an invitation, and hoped that the county lord would attend on time." ”

This was really polite, although Zhong Zhiyu felt that it was unnecessary, but he still responded enthusiastically, after all, this was the emperor's invitation, and she shouldn't be able to do anything.

When Xiao Lizi saw that his goal was achieved, he wanted to retire, and Zhong Zhiyu didn't keep him, after all, he was still outside, and he didn't have anything to leave behind.

When Xiao Lizi returned to the palace, Zhong Zhiyu was still looking at his invitation and worried.

What does the little eunuch mean, I am the protagonist of this banquet?

·

The eunuchs who came out to distribute invitations were mostly sent by one person, and only Xiao Lizi was the only one who sent invitations to Zhong Zhiyu's family, and after he returned to the palace, he was soon summoned by the emperor.

The emperor is more than half a hundred years old, but his head is full of green silk because of years of hard work in state affairs, and a fold left by frowning from time to time between his eyebrows makes him look bitter and hateful, only the embarrassed and powerful eyes reveal the shrewdness and vitality of this superior.

"Little Lizi, what do you say?"

"Back to the saint, the slave saw that the county lord was handsome and high-spirited, and he was not inferior to the noble girls who had been taught in Lin'an since childhood."

"Who asked you this?" The Emperor scolded, "You know what I'm asking. ”

Xiao Lizi is the godson of the most powerful eunuch chief by the emperor's side, and he can be regarded as serving the emperor since he was a child, so he is not scared of him at all, and replied with a smile: "The slave sees that the county lord and the king of Zhenbei are very similar." ”

"Oh?" The emperor asked the same question as Qin Yizhong: "Didn't you just say that the county lord is handsome, how can he be very similar to that Zhong Yongnian?" ”

"The minion is not talking about the skin, but about the bones." Xiao Li Zi pondered for a moment and hissed: "The slave sees the county master, and he is an ambitious one. Don't you know, she stood beside the black pony, and when the wind blew, the vigor made the minions feel a lot younger. ”

"How old are you, you're getting younger." The emperor scolded with a smile and became serious again: "So, it doesn't look like a spy from Beiyi?" ”

"Look, the minion doesn't look like it."

"Not the best." The emperor pinched his eyebrows and spit out a breath of turbidity: "Although Dayu has rested in the past few years, if you really want to fight......

The emperor didn't go on with the rest of the words, but Xiao Lizi also knew in his heart that if he really wanted to fight, Dayu couldn't lose Zhong Yongnian.

The first emperor emphasized literature and suppressed military force, which caused the result that the surrounding small countries dared to come to the land of Dayu to grab meat to eat, even if the emperor now attaches importance to the training of the army, but there are very few generals who can get their hands on it.

I got the news a few days ago that Xirong and Beiyi, the two henchmen of Dayu, are now fighting each other, if Dayu is now reaping the benefits of the fisherman...... Xiao Lizi interrupted his thoughts, he couldn't think too much, he couldn't think too much, but he only stopped for a few seconds and thought of the previous dynasty again.

The prince of the former dynasty went to a neighboring country to be a proton, but was rebelled by the neighboring country and became a high-level spy of the neighboring country, which finally shattered the former dynasty. This living example is right in front of him, and it is no wonder that the emperor is afraid of the county lord.

I hope the county lord is not. Otherwise, if you have a name in front of the emperor and can see through people's hearts, you will not be able to keep it! Xiao Lizi sighed silently.
