Chapter 1: Returning to the People on a Snowy Night (1)
Yang Hanxing squatted on the roof. On the night of the capital in November, the wind blew people's teeth and feet together, she habitually stretched out her hand to cover her ears, only to find that her ears had been frozen to wood, and she didn't feel pain when she twisted it hard.
There's no need to cover it up. Yang Hanxing put down his hand and covered it with a fur collar, expecting that it would be able to find a little warmth in his conscience for a while, but don't get frostbite anymore. Frostbite is the most annoying, she has a deep experience, when she is injured, she doesn't feel anything, once the weather warms up to start to get better, from the injury, a little bit of spread to the internal organs are scratching the heart and lungs, itching people only feel annoyed, and there is no mood to do anything.
It's not easy to do anything.
Yang Hanxing put his hand in his arms, sighed and leaned out his toes to move the tiles that had just been lifted to the side a little more.
Below is the study of Yang Yanhe, a scholar of Dongkaku University. On the desk and the bookcase behind are a dazzling array of books, and two or three charcoal stoves are burning next to them, and the steaming heat can be seen. Scholar Yang's cloak was on the back of his chair and he was training.
Yang Hanxing, the person who trained him, also knew that Yang Xi was given by the Ministry of Households, the nephew of Yang University, who had followed Yang University since he was a child, and in the eighteenth year of Hongzhi, he was admitted to the second class and the second name, and he was awarded the Ministry of Household Affairs to enter the court as an official, and he never opened another mansion.
"Yongxiu," said it was to train people, but in fact, Senior Scholar Yang's tone was very gentle, and he pushed the fold in his hand while calling Yang Xixiaozi, "Look at this fold." β
Yang Xi didn't answer, raised his head, and his expression was completely not hitting the south wall and not looking back: "The excerpt was written by my nephew, and my nephew doesn't need to read it and recite it backwards, if my uncle wants to say anything, just say it." β
He tilted his head, just facing the roof where Yang Hanxing was squatting, and Yang Hanxing could clearly see his face when he lowered his head slightly.
In fact, she only saw Yang Xi in a hurry when she was in office, and she has a good memory, so she still remembers it - but she just remembers, when she sees this person, she can know that it is this person, and what she looks like, but she can't say it anyway, and her mind is vague when she thinks about it carefully.
This was the first time I had taken a closer look at him.
looks really good, sword eyebrows and starry eyes, and the figure is also tall, but there is still a youthful childishness between the eyebrows and eyes - it is indeed young, and Dengke, who is a twenty-year-old famous Beijing master, is now only twenty-two. The shadow of Scholar Yang can be seen between the facial features.
"Yongxiu," Senior Yang sighed, "Uncle has told you many times, and none of the people in the palace can be provoked!" If it weren't for this excerpt and arrived in the cabinet first, Elder Li Ge would have seen it and told me, you will ...... when the time comes."
"Wen Death Admonishes Martial Arts!" Yang Xi still raised his head, his face full of anger.
As soon as he got angry, the shadows of Scholar Yang on his body could not be found, and Scholar Yang would never have such obvious love and hatred written on his face.
"What's more, my nephew is still an official, it is my duty to speak out, and I have no regrets if I die!"
Lord Yang sighed again: "Even so, it's just a matter of saying that he is not, and words such as gelding and rape appear in the recital......"
Yang Hanxing wanted to sigh, this kind of person, the journey was smooth, because he had never been beaten, he thought that in this world except black is white, evil must not be suppressed, he doesn't understand it, he doesn't understand it, he doesn't listen to it, and whoever sees it has a headache.
Although she was also very emotional, her actions were not merciless, except for some reluctance when her hand was stretched out from her arms, every word written on the paper with charcoal in the light in the courtyard had a deep meaning: On the third day of the winter month of Ding Mao, Yang Yanhe, a scholar of Dongge University, and his nephew Yang Xiyan in the mansion said "people in the palace". Two villains were painted next to him, with a few brushstrokes, and the expressions of Yang Yan and Yang Xi were vivid.
Below, Yang Xi retorted angrily: "What's wrong with the words nephew?" He is a eunuch, and the eunuchs of the ancestral system are not allowed to interfere in politics! But he is such a cholera government, isn't he a gelding? Wooing courtiers, righteous sons and grandsons everywhere, forming a party for personal gain, isn't it a traitorous party? β
Yang Xi looked at it and became more and more angry: "Didn't he force away such virtuous ministers as Liu Shoufu and Xie Dashi?" Didn't the saint ask the government about the greed and lust of the government? Isn't he the one who collects the money from disasters and sells the official mantle? Isn't he the one who wantonly tried to kill the minister? Is there a lie in the nephew's excerpt? Talking about politics, but the nephew doesn't follow the law? If there is none, why can't the nephew pass this fold to the saint? β
Liu Shoufu's ability and prestige are still downcast and returned to his hometown, how good can you be when you hand it over? You yourself are small, if something really happens, can your parents, brothers, and clans escape?
Anyway, it's freezing and it's freezing, Yang Hanxing simply trained the juniors for Yang University: I can't understand such a simple truth!
But Scholar Yang didn't say so, he hesitated and hesitated, considered and considered, and only spoke after a while, trying to be as tactful as possible: "Yongxiu, you are dedicated to the country, this is a good thing, and my uncle is not willing to stop you, but everything is decided and then moved, you have also been on the fold before, what is the result?" Think before you do anything. β
It seems that he really loves this nephew as rumored. Yang Hanxing rubbed his hands, and saw that Yang Xi suddenly showed a stunned look, and then his head, which had been held high, finally slowly lowered.
"I naturally know that you are going to hand it to the saint, but now that you are in power, think about it, can you hand it to the saint?"
Yang Xi stopped talking.
He didn't speak, and Scholar Yang couldn't bear it, stepped forward, and patted him on the shoulder: "You have just entered the officialdom, and you are young, you will inevitably be angry when you see injustice, and my uncle understands that he also came over like that." You have always been stubborn and stubborn, and your uncle doesn't say much on weekdays, but you have a long road, and you have to figure out how to go on this road. β
He handed the fold to Yang Xi again, Yang Xi didn't move for a long time, and finally took itβnot completely unintelligible.
So I'm afraid it's even more uneasy.
"Uncle doesn't want you to make a decision without thinking about it, and regret it when you think about it." Lord Yang finally breathed a sigh of relief, and patted him on the shoulder again, "Okay, it's not early, go back to sleep, if you feel cold, let Shuyan go to the steward and ask for another eiderdown quilt." Your Qinyuan is full of bamboo, it is cool in summer, and it is a little cold in winter, so tomorrow Uncle will let Yang Ping add two more stoves with you. β
Yang Xi's unhappiness was written on his face, and he didn't know how many words his uncle had listened to, but the etiquette was still very thorough, he bent down and bowed, and only after a whole set did he push open the door and walk out.
After Yang Xi left, Yang Hanxing squatted on the roof for a while, watched Scholar Yang sit quietly for a while, and then took the "Book of the Later Han Dynasty" from the bookshelf, read it carefully in front of the window, and sighed from time to time when he read sentences such as "pro-virtuous ministers and far villains", which is also a very interesting thing.
But Yang Hanxing stuffed the paper and charcoal back into her waist - with such a strong wind, she would really freeze to death if she stayed any longer. Of course, it is important to earn money, and it is also necessary to earn a life and spend it.
Yang Hanxing raised his foot and rubbed the tiles that had just been lifted in place. With her skills, such finishing things are naturally fine on weekdays, but today it is too cold and she has been squatting for too long, her hands and feet are a little stiff and she doesn't obey the call, and one is too hard, and the tiles are kicked to the ground.
With a crisp sound, it shattered.
It was said that it would have been fine, the wind was strong, the willow strips in the courtyard of Yang's Mansion kept swishing, and the sound of broken tiles was not easy to hear, and it was such a cold day, and the night was very deep, even if the people heard it, most of them were also struggling in the nest and did not want to come out, and when they finally struggled out, this time was enough for her to leave.
However, Yang Xi was in the courtyard.
Who knew that Leng Cheng hadn't gone back to sleep yet-Xu was still angry, and he had to blow more wind in the yard, otherwise the corners of his mouth would be foaming tomorrow morning.
The tiles fell from his eyebrows, and he naturally subconsciously looked up.
It was right in front of Yang Hanxing's eyes.
The above means surveillance, and the implication is not to give birth to a lot of things, Yang Hanxing quickly retracted his gaze, and prepared to leave on his toes.
"Who's there!"
However, Yang Xibei moved very quickly, and while shouting like this, he had already climbed up the ladder in the corner of the wall - it has been windy for the past few days, and the roof tiles are often blown down.
It was so fast that Yang Hanxing almost wondered that he was not a weak nerd who couldn't turn around with the same body in his head, but he could work lightly.
Yang Hanxing just collided with him, and he was tense for a while.
With such a big movement, the subordinates had to get up, and one by one they came out of the house one after another with the lamp in their hands and their clothes, and the one who was rubbing his sleepy eyes asked Yang Xi: "Young master, what's wrong?" β
After asking, I saw clearly that my young master was now standing on the roof, and suddenly I shuddered, and no matter how deep the sleepiness was, I was scared: "Young master, what are you doing on the roof?" Whatever tells us is it! Hurry down! β
It's still an afterthought, only to find that there is still a person standing opposite his young master, although he is very slender, but he dares to break into the mansion of the university scholar, he must not be good, and his own young master has always been hard-tempered, in case of a real dispute, how can he be ruthless to the young master? A group of people were in a hurry.
No matter how noisy it was, Yang Xi didn't look at it, just stared at Yang Hanxing in front of him, curious and vigilant: "Who are you?" Why is it here? β
Yang Hanxing glanced down, there were a lot of people, and more and more people gathered, and many of the guards also wore swords at their waists.
I'm afraid I can't just leave quietly. Yang Hanxing was a little annoyed.
Yang Ping, who was the leader, had already calmed down, and was quietly greeting the nursing home who came with a gesture - before the thieves could make a move, it was important to outflank the young master from all sides first.
"Don't move."
Yang Xi was sharp-eyed, she saw it at a glance, frowned and asked Yang Ping to stop, and turned to Yang Hanxing again, regardless of her overflowing annoyance, just a lesson: "Don't worry, our official eunuchs will not be lynched." It's just that you're quite young, what's the difficulty? You have to do something like this! β
It turned out that she was treated as a thief, and looking at it like this, I am afraid that she has already made up for her brain, and there is an eighty-year-old mother who has no money for medical treatment, so she has to trespass into the university scholar's mansion in the middle of the night.
Yang Hanxing didn't speak, but it was funny, and Fang Cai's annoyance was gone.
He was very serious, a pair of eyes staring at her, his pupils were slightly larger than ordinary people, not completely black, slightly amber, and he also looked shining at night, when he stared at a person all the time, he really looked like a star in the sky, innocent and sincere.
However, there were no stars tonight, and the north wind had been blowing non-stop for three or four days, and the gray and yellow clouds were going down more and more, and the evening was already overhead, which was the prelude to heavy snowfall.
"Whatever your difficulties, after all, you have already committed theft, so you have to act according to the law. If you are willing to go with me to the government to surrender, it proves that you still have remorse, and you are not completely hopeless," he persuaded very seriously, "I will definitely say a few kind words for you in front of Shuntian Mansion Yin......"
Yang Hanxing interrupted his chatter: "Lord Xiao Yang, look at me." β
She raised her arm towards Yang Xi, and Yang Ping stomped her foot straight, Yang Xi was still stunned by her sudden opening.
"Have you ever seen me have your belongings on me?"
Although her collar is deliberately decorated with raw edges, she is not actually dressed thickly, with straight shirts and narrow sleeves, she is smartly dressed, with wrist guards on her arms, and there is no place to hide.
Yang Xi understood what she meant: "No, but ......"
Yang Hanxing didn't listen to him: "Since there is none, no matter where I came from, I am not a thief, I have heard the name of Xiao Yang for a long time, and I never thought that I was such an arbitrary person." β
She also sued the wicked first, and Yang Xi's face turned red for a while.
"What's so noisy?" Scholar Young walked out of his study.
Yang Hanxing was actually waiting for this time. She's not stupid enough to be the same nerd at this point to tell the truth. Now that it has been discovered, it is the right way to simply say hello and leave quickly.
She didn't care about Yang Xi anymore, she turned over and jumped off the roof, and when she landed, the bluestone slab of Yang's mansion was slippery, but there was no hindrance, and she still landed firmly in front of Scholar Yang.
A group of nurses surrounded Scholar Yang.
The snow that had been brewing for three days finally fell at this time, very large, but it fell lightly, and the scholar behind him caught up to put on a cloak for Scholar Yang.
"All down." Lord Yang was waving his hand, and when he turned his head, he caught a glimpse of Yang Xi, who was still standing on the roof and looking at Yang Hanxing, who was stunned, and couldn't help but sigh, "Let's go and take the young master first, it's snowing, the roof ladders are slippery, and I won't be able to come down for a while." β
Then he looked back at Yang Hanxing, at such a close distance, he was still an unknown person, but Yang University's morale was still very calm: "Who is this?" β
Yang Hanxing bent down and bowed: "The little official of the East Factory, I occasionally pass by the adult's mansion when I do business, and I have no intention of disturbing it, I hope the adult will forgive me." β
The token of Dongchang was held in the palm of Yang Hanxing's hand - this was the confidence that she felt that she could still walk no matter what.
The noisy crowd behind him fell silent instantly.
There was a click on the roof, probably because Yang Xi had stepped on a piece of tile, followed by the exclamation of the little guy: "Young master, be careful!" And there was no more sound.
Yang Hanxing was a little unexpected, she thought that Yang Xi was really wrong, and she must at least shout.
"Do things for the Holy Lord," Senior Scholar Yang glanced at the token, his expression remained unchanged, and he still smiled kindly, "Where can there be a reason to be disturbed, but what is there to ask for the help of this official?" The girl just said it. β
Yang Hanxing didn't make any special men's clothes, but he just wanted to comb his hair all the way, it was really different after a long time in officialdom, and he could still recognize it at a glance.
"It's good if you don't take it personally."
This snow is really menacing, just standing here and talking for a while, Yang Hanxing has a layer of snowflakes on his shoulders.
Gotta get back soon.
"Is it the girl who doesn't have to take it to heart, the junior is young and ignorant, the girl comes in for a cup of tea?" Scholar Yang stretched out his hand towards the study.
"Adults don't want to torture villains, they are lowly officials, but they only have a little blue eyes for the factory office, where is there a reason to enter the house." What he said was just polite words, Yang Hanxing had also been a bad boy in Dongchang for nearly a year, can you understand this? People who don't hate Dongchang are afraid that they haven't been born yet, and if she takes it seriously, it will be too much to kick her nose and face, "The night is also deep, and the lowly position will not disturb the university scholar's sleep." β
Yang Yanhe really didn't keep it anymore, but just returned the salute to Yang Hanxing, bent his waist very straight, and gave his hand. This is really tormenting her, after all, she is a dignified scholar of Dongge University, a holy teacher, even if she is backed by the powerful Dongchang, it is just a small service.
So everyone present looked at each other.
"It's hard to bear the cold when you're old, so I'm not far away," it was Lord Yang who reminded him, and the people suddenly came back to their senses, hurriedly gave way to her, and went to open the door again.
"It's dark and the road is slippery, so the girl walks slowly."
Others didn't understand, Yang Hanxing naturally knew what he was doing with this gift, so he was no longer humble, and then gave it to him to reassure him, and swaggered away.
As soon as Yang Hanxing turned around, an angry voice sounded behind him, and it seemed that he had come down properly.
"Uncle! She is a eunuch, how can she deserve such a great gift as you......"
Naturally, Yang Xi was angry again.
Yang Hanxing didn't look back. Scholar Yang gave her face like that, and she naturally had to give face to the Yang family. So I just pretended not to hear it, and walked forward in greater and greater strides.
