Lu Heng, He Lan, and Jiang Yunyi dismounted and entered the Shili Pavilion, Gu Qingyan waved his hand behind him, Qingmo appeared, took out a new tea pot and kettle, and poured a cup of tea for each of the three people.

Jiang Yunyi took a sip of the teacup and said to An Huajin, "Does the little county lord have a letter to give to the old prince?" ”

"Nope." An Huajin pointed casually, "The three cars were given to my grandfather, the three cars were given to my grandfather by the Queen Mother and Her Royal Highness the Seventh, the two cars were given by Gu Qigongzi, and the two cars were given to my grandfather by Prince Chen on the order of Prince Shan. You just have to remember it. ”

Jiang Yunyi followed An Huajin's fingers one by one, "Okay, you must remember it clearly." ”

"From the capital to Nanyang, although the road is long, the mountains are high and the water is long, but it is not so difficult to walk." An Huajin took out a road map from his sleeve and handed it to Jiang Yunyi, "You take this, just follow this route to ensure that you send the military salary to Nanyang safely." ”

Jiang Yunyi stretched out his hand to take it and took a look, every two hundred miles, there were markers, let him settle on the mark. There were more than 20 markers in total, and he counted the distance, and he walked for more than 20 days, which seemed to be three or four hundred miles closer than the route he had drawn up earlier, and the journey was two or three days shorter.

He put it away properly, "Listen to the little county lord, and we will take the route you gave." ”

"Hmm." An Huajin smiled lightly, "Take this route, the water bandits on both sides of the Jianghuai River and the mountain bandits on the Black Wind Mountain will not dare to embarrass you." ”

Jiang Yunyi was taken aback.

Lu Heng and He Lan were also a little surprised, and when they looked at each other, they all thought in unison, no wonder the little county lord An dared to come to the capital from Nanyang alone without a guard, it turned out that no one dared to touch him.

When the three of them formulated the route, they deliberately bypassed the lair of the water bandits and mountain bandits, although they brought 10,000 soldiers and horses, but they walked such a long way, there was a grain robbery case 18 years ago, and they didn't dare to be too confident, there was really a problem, that is, the escort of the military salary was unfavorable, which made His Majesty angry, and cutting off the head was a trivial matter, and it was also possible to raid the family and exterminate the clan.

After drinking a cup of hot tea, the three of them said goodbye and set off.

Seeing the convoy of Haohao Tangtang walking away, An Huajin asked Gu Qingyan boredly, "The matter of the Hanlin Academy has come to an end, you should go back to the Ministry of Officials, right?" When are you going to Ding Mao?"

"I'm going to go today." Gu Qingyan said softly, "Go back and change your clothes, you go with me?" ”

"Okay." Anyway, there is nothing else, and it is boring for her to stay in the old mansion of the An family.

Chu Chen said on the side, "Follow him to be an entourage again?" ”

"It's better than me being alone in the house." An Huajin put on a poncho and walked out of the Ten Mile Pavilion.

Chu Chen followed and took two steps, "I'm fine, I can take you to play, on such a rainy day, horse racing is also interesting." ”

An Huajin was stunned, she hadn't raced for many days.

Gu Qingyan said slowly, "Horse racing on a rainy day is very interesting, but if it is infected with the wind and cold, two days later, there will be no energy to play during the Duanyang Festival." ”

An Huajin thought about it and said to Chu Chen, "I'll go to the horse race when it's good." ”

Chu Chen didn't have a point, glared at Gu Qingyan, he didn't think this person was annoying before, why is he so annoying now.

The three of them returned to the city together, and Gu Qingyan accompanied An Huajin to the An family's old house to change the clothes of his entourage, and took him to the Ministry of Officials.

Gu Qingyan has not been on duty in the ministry for a long time, and when his colleagues saw him, they all greeted him with a smile, with a sentence of "Lord Gu" on the left and a sentence of "Gu Shilang" on the right, mixed with a sentence of "Huai'an" shouted by people close to him, obviously, the relationship with his colleagues was very harmonious and harmonious.

Some people didn't know An Huajin, so they looked at it twice, and felt that the little entourage around Gu Qingyan had picturesque eyebrows.

As in the Hanlin Academy, Gu Qingyan has a separate room for office, three inside and outside, the outside room to meet guests, the middle office, and the inner room for occasional rest.

An Huajin took the time to study "Soldiers" in the past two days, studied it half-thoroughly, and now continues to take it out and grind.

Gu Qingyan had a lot of things, and all day long, he saw this and that, and took over a lot of things, except for lunch, the two of them didn't talk much.

At the end of the day, Gu Qingyan took An Huajin out of the office, and at the door, he met Zhao Shang, the secretary of the ministry, who came out.

Lao Shangshu was old, he didn't walk fast, he was holding an umbrella by his entourage, and when he saw Gu Qingyan holding an umbrella for a small entourage, he squinted his eyes for a while, paused, glanced at no one around, and glared at Gu Qingyan, "Huai'an, why did you bring the little county lord An to the ministry?" ”

Gu Qingyan smiled, "During the period when Lord An Xiaojun was in Beijing, His Majesty asked me to take care of it every day, I asked Your Majesty for instructions, and Your Majesty agreed." ”

Although His Majesty has changed his mind and wants to cancel the marriage contract, he may have forgotten to withdraw his will to cultivate a relationship with An Huajin first, so Gu Qingyan still follows it to this day.

Lao Shangshu choked for a moment, since he had asked His Majesty's will, then he didn't say anything, "Even so, pay attention to some influences, you hold an umbrella together, people who don't know the little county lord, I don't know how to suspect." ”

Gu Qingyan nodded, very obedient, "You're right." ”

An Huajin snatched Gu Qingyan's umbrella and said with a smile, "I said before I went out that I would let me hold an umbrella for you, but you didn't allow it, and now you've been caught, right?" She looked at Lao Shangshu and said deliberately, "He is indeed disobedient, otherwise, you will train him for a while?" ”

Lao Shangshu's beard trembled, waved his hand, and said out of sight and out of mind, "You guys hurry up and leave, don't take an example." ”

An Huajin was not very obedient, but pulled Gu Qingyan to walk slowly, walked side by side with Lao Shangshu, and deliberately looked for words, "You don't seem to like me well?" Is it because my grandfather came to Beijing in the past and didn't even drink a meal with you, so he went back to Nanyang? ”

Lao Shangshu: "......"

He laughed and scolded, "This kind of trivial matter, your grandfather also told you?" ”

"I said that, I said that you deliberately wrote a letter to scold him after he left." Anwar Kumkee is clear, "After my grandfather received your letter, he was happy to be scolded. ”

Lao Shangshu sighed, "Hey, I haven't seen him for eight years." My old bones, in my lifetime, I don't know if I can see him again. I heard that he is not in good health? ”

"Well, it's not good, but you can live for two years."

"You little girl, it should be said that your grandfather can live a long life." Lao Shangshu was dissatisfied.

An Huajin smiled, "What are you doing to live so long?" Strange tired. ”

Lao Shangshu was speechless again, and paused for a while, "You are right, he is really tired in his life." ”

Walking to the gate of the ministry, Lao Shangshu said to Gu Qingyan, "After the Duanyang Festival, the old man is ready to retire, give you a place, and the ministry will be handed over to you in the future." Well done. ”

Gu Qingyan said softly, "You can do it for another two years." ”

Lao Shangshu waved his hand, "No, I want to live for the rest of my life and tease my grandson." ”

"At the very least, if you want to retire, you have to wait until this autumn after the triennial official evaluation." Gu Qingyan looked at him, "You retired so early, don't you want to be tired?" ”

"yes, haha." Lao Shangshu laughed, "I'm going to be lazy this year, and the burden of the three-year assessment of world officials will be handed over to you." As he spoke, he leaned closer to Gu Qingyan and lowered his voice, "Your Majesty should be about to become a reserve, as soon as I am old, I will not be involved, your future burden is not light, I know that you have the ability, but you must also act cautiously." Although the second prince is dead, and the third prince is not as affected as before, the other princes are not fuel-efficient lamps. He glanced at An Huajin, "This little girl is your fiancée, and on the side of His Royal Highness the Seventh, you can be regarded as standing in line." ”

Gu Qingyan smiled, "The Gu family never stands in line, I am the Gu family, and I still follow the rules of my ancestors." Only His Majesty will always be loyal to you. ”

"That's right, it's the old man who is confused." Lao Shangshu nodded, "You are smart, you don't need the old man to worry about it." It's enough to have your grandfather to worry about. ”

Gu Qingyan smiled, "I still listen to your words very much, I am a teacher for one day and a teacher for life." ”

Lao Shangshu waved his hand, "I can only count you as half a teacher, and it is an honor for you to be called a teacher." ”

The rain gradually became heavier, and the three of them parted at the entrance of the official department, and after watching Lao Shangshu get into the carriage, Gu Qingyan and An Huajin got into the carriage.

"The eighteen-year-old official is still the secretary, and you are the only one through the ages, right?" Anhua Jin sighed.

Gu Qingyan smiled, "No, during the founding of the Great Chu, there was a seventeen-year-old Hubu Shangshu. Further forward, there was a sixteen-year-old Dali Siqing and a twenty-year-old prime minister in the previous dynasty. ”

"I know, all of them are prodigies." Anhua Jin sighed and looked at Gu Qingyan, "But no one has edited a "History of Great Chu", if it weren't for the compilation of "History of Great Chu", you would have already taken the position of the secretary of the ministry, right?"

Gu Qingyan shook her head, "Not necessarily, I don't want to be in a high position too early." ”

"Why?"

Gu Qingyan said softly, "If a person gathers too much light, he will always be jealous." ”

An Huajin blinked, "You will live a hundred years." ”

Gu Qingyan smiled, "So sure? ”

An Huajin couldn't have nodded more seriously, "Well, the scourge will last for a thousand years." ”

Gu Qingyan: "......"
