Yan Shu went to the food division with Wang Zeng, Liu Ping, and Shi Yuansu after the dispersal of the dynasty. Suddenly, I heard a word from you, and I said a word about the recent anecdotes in the capital, and about a certain promising counselor who insisted on marrying an unknown courtesan, and broke with his teacher for this. Neither named nor surnamed, just ridiculed with words, and there were many insidious.

All of you present know that those who are in harmony with Yan Shu will either knock on the side and dial the dial, or start a different conversation. Those who are not in harmony with Yan Shu are secretly happy in their hearts, and they cannot hear them on their faces. The jealous and relieved are happy to discuss, and the more unbearable things are.

Liu Ping and Huang Dehe met every day, always fighting cocks, you beat me, I beat you. At this moment, Liu Ping saw that his face was full of wrinkles with a smile, and he was very interested in talking, and he was already annoyed in his heart.

He knew that Huang Dehe had wanted to take over the errand of the kitchen procurement of Suiyang Academy for his son, or the maintenance of flowers and trees, or others, it was best to marry Yan Shu's only daughter home, not only to win over Yan Shu, but also to take the opportunity to step on Liu Ping's foot, why not, so he was very eager to treat Yan Shu.

It's just a pity that Yan Shu can always skillfully refuse, whether it is an errand or a family matter, this is not only because Yan Shu looks down on Huang Dehe's personality, but also because of his silent help to his old friend. Liu Ping is well aware of the truth, and Huang Dehe naturally understands that if he simply seeks peace, he will turn against him and become enemies, so he is particularly concerned about Yan Shu's recent encounter.

Liu Ping is a cannon fight-like character, listening to his words and words implicitly hinting at Fu Liangbi, and mocking Yan Shu, he threw the cooking cake in his hand into the bowl, snorted, and said: "Your colleagues are also big officials above the fifth grade in the DPRK, how can you chew on people's rights and wrongs like a woman in the market, and still be happy." ”

Huang Dehe saw that Yan Shu was only silently eating morning food, deaf to him, and was not interested, seeing that Liu Ping couldn't bear his temperament, he smiled all over his face, and said: "General Liu's words are wrong, we are sorry for that official, the good years, and the can't ask to marry anyone's family, so we have to be willing to fall." ”

Liu Ping raised his eyebrows to scold, Wang Zeng gave Liu Ping a look, Liu Ping knew that he couldn't argue, so he could only look gloomy and press down,

Wang Zeng saw Liu Ping endure it, so he smiled and shouted: "Don't say that the sergeant doctor of the court, that is, among the princes, there are not a few people who ask to marry courtesans. If you don't come back, see who spares you! As he spoke, he laughed again.

Everyone laughed when they heard this. Su Ri and Huang Dehe are not in harmony, and they are more happy to watch the excitement.

When Huang Dehe heard this, he looked at all the people present, and several of his colleagues who were either married or renewed as courtesans raised their heads and stared at him, and their smiles froze on their faces.

Just thinking about how to make a detour, Sheng Hong smiled and said: "Then how to compare, the courtesans are divided into official prostitutes, domestic prostitutes and wild prostitutes. What kind of people are the princes or scholars married in the court, and which one is not a top leader with both talent and appearance, and a far-reaching reputation, which ordinary people can not reach, and they have their ability to find themselves. Where is it like that counselor, and what kind of person is he going to marry? ”

Yan Shu didn't want to listen anymore, wiped his mouth with a towel, and said to the left and right: "Adults use it slowly, Yan Mou retired first." Wang Zeng and others were considerate of his heart and intervened to return the courtesy.

Yan Shu got up and left, leaving the whispering behind him, and even went out of the palace gate, got into the carriage, still felt a cloud of turbidity stuffed in his chest, depressed and incomprehensible, and thought of Fu Liangbi, more and more sad, so he clenched his fist and beat his legs, and for a while, with tears in his eyes, he let out a long sigh.

Yan Rong hit the horse and walked forward, and the car hub sparkled to Longjin Bridge.

Yan Shu suddenly heard Yan Ronghu stop the horse, and wondered, so he lifted the curtain of the carriage and asked what was going on, and saw Wen Yanbo wearing a frost-colored brocade robe, holding a roll of rice paper in his hand, and his entourage leading the horse in front of the carriage.

Wen Yanbo saw Yan Shu open the curtain and go up to the front of him.

Yan Shu didn't feel angry, and asked: "Who should I be, it turned out to be the second child of the Wen family, let me ask you, you are involved in my family's affairs, and you are not mixed enough?" Now that the son is coming to stop my carriage again, what do you have in mind? ”

Wen Yanbo said respectfully: "I heard that Master Yan went to the Gongyuan to look at the papers made during my palace examination, and he didn't seem to be optimistic, so the student deliberately made it again, and asked the master to look at it. ”

Yan Shu sneered: "I am not your grandfather, and there is no Wanguan furniture to share with you." I only have one daughter, and I still have to keep my son-in-law to come to the door, I'm afraid that I won't be able to fulfill your wish, so I ask Second Brother Wen to bother elsewhere. ”

Wen Yanbo smiled: "It's such a coincidence, now I am self-sufficient, and I am lucky, so I don't have to worry about any furniture." The most important thing in the family is my brother, and it doesn't hurt to have one less of me, so I don't need to bother with everything, and I can fulfill my wishes! ”

Yan Shu didn't feel choked, so he had to say again: "With your tongue as bright as a lotus, I can't please me, rather than wasting my efforts in vain, it is better to beg for tricks elsewhere, some people are worried about characters like you." ”

Wen Yanbo's feet were as firm as nails, but he just held the scroll with both hands, blocking the way forward, and said with a smile: "Master, we are at the time when we have grown wise through one thing, although we have only been officials for two or three months, we have also improved a lot, and during this time, I often talked with Brother Liangbi and Brother Xu at night, and I put my heart in my heart, and I have grown my mind more than before, and I have noticed many deficiencies that I have not been aware of before, which is also the purpose of my rewriting this volume."

Master, what is said in the volume comes from the bottom of my heart, and there is absolutely no intention to please the Master. I implore the master to accept and review, if there are still deficiencies, please also ask the master to give advice, the master strives to develop the academy, and everyone who brings articles to pay homage, whether rich or poor, the master treats them equally. But if the Master does not accept it, he will be unfair to me.

Besides, Master, I really like to remember it, and if the Master is willing to marry her to me, I am willing to make an oath and follow the Master's example, no matter what, I will not take concubines, I will not raise prostitutes, so that the house will be clean, and I will have a couple for the rest of my life. I also ask the master to read it for my sake, accept this volume, and give Xiao Er a chance, and Xiao Er will do his best to show it until the master is satisfied. ”

Yan Shu listened to these words, his heart has softened a little, and saw the people coming and going on the street, the eyes cast more and more, unwilling to entangle with him more, so he had to wave his hand, let Yan Rong accept, put down the curtain for a while, still feel entangled, thinking of this person has a wide range of contacts, there are many temptations, it is difficult to guarantee that he can stick to one heart, husband and wife live, there will always be a tongue, and the memory is such a disposition that does not admit defeat, but he is afraid that he will be hard to get up, and there will be no place to stay, which is also one of his concerns.

But he didn't expect that this Wen Yan Boken made such a guarantee on the street, which shows his determination. couldn't help but look at him with admiration, so his disgust was reduced by a few points.

The car hub set off again, and arrived at Yan's mansion in a short time, Yan Shu got off the carriage and walked all the way back to the room to change clothes, who knew that Su and Jiang's mother went out, and the room was empty, so they had to call Yan Rong to come in and serve, and wait to take off their official clothes, change into regular clothes, and go to Qingming Courtyard.

Arrived at the Qingming Temple, he stepped on the stone road, unconsciously remembered that Fu Liangbi entered the courtyard not long ago, he had seen the pear blossom for the first time, and made the first word on a whim, he read it and evaluated it as tangible and godless, just blindly piling up the words of the predecessors. But I didn't think about this sentence, and it made Fu Liangbi fall into the devil, so he didn't think about the tea and didn't want to eat, he didn't listen to it, he didn't look away, he stayed under the pear blossom tree, saw the flowers bloom and fell, and finally gathered his blood sincerely, got a song, and showed it to him. I didn't know that he slipped on this stone road, broke his jaw, saw bones in his flesh, and blood gushed out, bluffing Su almost fainted, but he still stopped the bleeding and bandaged him with his own hands.

Yan Shu stayed for a long time, and then walked to the study, came to the side of the bookcase, called Yan Rong to take the paper and study the ink, and when he finished laying out, he picked up his long sleeves and chose a pen on the pen stand.

Suddenly heard the memory outside the house to see, I didn't want to see, but remembered that recently, Su always said that she was lazy, I couldn't help but be a little worried, in the end or let her in, after a while, Yizhi came to the house, Yan Shu saw her for a few days, she lost a lot of weight, her eyes were stagnant, she really looked stupid, there was no smart appearance of the usual smile, and she was startled for a moment, and secretly said to herself, her relationship with the two brothers and sisters of Liangbi is good, and it is because she has never given birth to anything next to her, I am anxious in my eyes, and she is not allowed to interact with him again. Categorically could not make her so.

Thinking about it carefully, she is a sensible and carefree child, and when she is raised to such a big age, the amount of thought spent on her is almost half that of a few people in the courtyard. But she can often say something, and no one praises her for being transparent, and a hundred of them are not as good as her. She knows what to do and what not to do. When was it so self-contained?

Thinking of this, Yan Shu pressed his palm heavily on his leg, and couldn't help asking, "You, do you like that Wen Yanbo?" ”

Yizhizheng didn't know how to speak, and when she hesitated, her father said the words first, and unconsciously retreated, and cheered up again, saying, "I, I like him." ”

Yan Shuyuan's eyes widened, he was shocked and sighed for a while, he only hated himself for neglecting discipline on weekdays, and let her come and go freely, so that he could make trouble in this field, only to increase his sadness, and asked, "When did this happen?" ”

Yizhi stayed for a long time, and then he smiled with red eyes and said: "It should be that since the day I was in Suiyang Academy the year before, I always couldn't help but pay attention to him, but I was still confused at that time, and I thought that I must be going to marry Brother Liangbi, and I didn't think much about it." Now I understand it more and more. ”

Yan Shu had no choice but to say: "Then what do you want to say to me now." ”

Yizhi was stunned for a long time, and said with a smile: "My daughter didn't want to say anything, it's just that my father blames Second Brother Wen for wrong, and my daughter will feel guilty if she doesn't distinguish it for him." ”

Yan Shu looked at the memory of the three souls missing seven and a half souls, and was discouraged and angry, so he could only press his emotions and said, "Say it." ”

Yi Zhi thought about it for a while, and said: "Second Brother Wen, he is very good, he is very good to me, and he is also very good to several brothers, and he is sincere and does not hide treachery. ”

Yan Shu waited for a long time, and saw that she just had straight eyes and stopped talking, and unconsciously wondered: "This is what you said to defend him?" ”

Memories nodded.

Yan Shu waved his right hand forward and said, "No, no, on weekdays, you are just a kitten and a puppy in the nursing home, and you have to talk more than this time!" ”

Yizhi stayed for a long time, his eyes were full of tears, and he cried and laughed: "I don't know, I just know that he is really good." ”

Yan Shu couldn't help but shake his head and said, "Yizhi, what's wrong with you?" As soon as the words fell, I suddenly saw Jiang's mother rushing in stunned, her face was full of panic, and when she saw Yizhi present, she was busy and steady, and said with a smile: "The big girl is also here, the kitchen has just boiled a pot of fish soup, the girl should be hungry this time." As he spoke, he went to call Xing'er again and said, "Take the girl to eat fish and drink soup." ”

Xing'er was urged by Jiang's mother, her eyes were full of doubts, and while she went to help Yizhi, she muttered: "I just came back from the back kitchen, the cold pot is cold and the stove is cold, where does this thick soup come from?" ”

Jiang's mother glanced at her fiercely, and she hurriedly helped Yizhi out in fright.

Mother Jiang waited for a long time, and when she saw the master and servant coming out of the courtyard, she stepped forward and whispered, "Official, Madame has fainted." ”

Yan Shu stood up abruptly and asked, "What's going on?" ”

Jiang's mother hesitated for a moment, and had to say: "Madam, Madame saw that the eldest girl was stunned all day long, and I don't know who she listened to, saying that the girl may have collided with something, go to divination and make a hexagram, and it will be resolved and resolved......"

Yan Shu hurriedly said: "When is this, say it quickly!" ”

Jiang's mother hurriedly said: "The Taoist priest calculated a hexagram for the girl, said yes, said yes, the girl had a brother in front of her, who was short-lived in her previous life, and finally reincarnated, but she was not full-term and fell into a fetus, so the resentment was deeper, and later, later the official's wife had a girl, regarded it as a treasure, and the brother was jealous of the girl, and took advantage of her grief and loss of defense, and stole her soul to be a ...... When Madame heard this, she fainted on the spot. ”

Yan Shu pounded the case and shouted: "Nonsense, nonsense! For another moment, the blood was surging, the things in front of him were shaking, and his feet were about to fall, so he hurriedly held on to the bookcase, and in a trance, he saw Ouyang Xu's ghosting stacked, stepped forward to help, and said: "Go, go and invite Zhao Taicheng." ”

Ouyang Xu hurriedly passed on the words, Yan relieved himself, pressed his hand again, and said: "You love to read "Yi" every day, divination, and hexagram interpretation is also very clear, you say, you said that your sister, it won't really ...... It's really ......" At this point, his legs became more and more weak, and his body sank.

Ouyang Xu hurriedly sat down with Yan Shu in his arms, and he didn't know what to say for a while, thinking that the master didn't like to say that strange forces and chaos were confused, what happened today, and he looked at Mother Jiang again, and Mother Jiang hurriedly said what the Taoist priest said.

Ouyang Xu listened, was stunned for a while, and said: "Fuxi created the innate gossip, dry for the sky, for the ze, for the fire, for the thunder, Xun for the wind, kan for the water, Gen for the mountain, Kun for the earth, corresponding to the natural phenomenon, it is the ancient people who did not know how to distinguish the clouds by observing the sky, so they used the gossip to calculate and predict the phenomenon of wind, rain, thunder and lightning." Later generations also based on the Fuxi gossip, two by two, and then derived eight eight sixty-four hexagrams, corresponding to the words, which gave birth to good luck. ”

Yan Shu hurriedly said: "I'm already anxious, but you still have the kung fu to talk at length here, only to say whether it is accurate or not!" ”

Ouyang Xu had no choice but to say: "Master, don't worry, student, the student is familiar with the names of the sixty-four hexagrams, and he has never heard of any hexagram that mentions stealing the soul to be such a fallacy." ”

Yan Shu listened, but breathed a sigh of relief, and said: "It can be seen that the Taoist priest, seeing that the lady is dressed up and rich, and knows that there is only this girl in our family, she must love it like a treasure, and deliberately chooses dangerous words to make people fear first and then believe, in the final analysis, it is just to make money, not enough to believe, not enough to believe." He waved his hand again and said, "Help me to see Madame." ”

Ouyang Xu responded to help Yan Shu.

Mother Jiang hesitated for a long time, and then asked, "Then, do you want to tell the eldest girl that Madame is sick." ”

Yan Shu listened, thought for a long time, and said: "When Zhao Taicheng comes, I will see Mrs. first, and then go to see the eldest girl, and everything will be said after Zhao Taicheng has seen it." ”

Everyone waited for Mrs. Zhao to come, but they didn't want to, Mrs. Zhao occasionally felt a little sick, and several big medical officials were called into the palace and had not returned, Yan Shu listened, so he had to ask for Dr. Cao and Dr. Li, but he learned that King Zhong broke his leg while playing polo, and called several medical officers of the size of the Hospital Authority.

At that time, Su Shi had also woken up, whimpering and crying, crying his own hard life, and crying the hard life of memory.

Lang Zhong Zhang Jin looked at the pulse, and saw that she was full of anger when she cried, so he only returned to his heart and opened a few prescriptions for concentrating and sleeping peacefully.

Yan Shu thanked Lang Zhong, and saw that Su Shi only cared about sadness, so he told her Ouyang Xu's words, and said: "That warlock only said nonsense in order to cheat your money, you also believe it, and it is good to make trouble again, so you don't have to cause bad luck, this will not stop at all, don't cry anything." ”

Su Shi sobbed, and pulled Ouyang Xu to ask for a while.

Ouyang Xu picked out the obscure terms in the study of "Yi", and said his own opinions again, and Yan Shu echoed them.

Although Su Shi was literate, he didn't understand literature and science, he didn't feel dizzy, half-convinced, and asked Ouyang Xu to confront the Taoist priest face to face. Ouyang Xu had no choice but to respond, and said that it was too late today, so it was better to go again tomorrow, and Su Shi just listened to it.

For a while, he wanted to see Yizhi again, Yan Shu was afraid of another incident, and said that he would let Yizhi see Lang Zhong first, and then Su Shi was born.

Ouyang Xu took Lang Zhong to see Yizhi, walked through the flowers and willows, and reached the small courtyard of Yizhi, she was picking flowers in the courtyard, listened to the intentions of the two, and said: "This is not sick or painful, and what does Lang Zhong see." "Anyway, I just took care of the flowers and ignored them.

Ouyang Xu persuaded: "You are the foundation of the liver fire, and you are greedy, you have to get on fire at every turn, as soon as the fire comes, even come with a cold and coughing and wheezing, Zhang Langzhong is here for you to see how to recuperate, he is here, let him run for nothing, you just let him take a look, and it doesn't matter." ”

Yizhi thought about it, and asked him to diagnose the pulse according to his words, Zhang Langzhong saw the pulse, and asked about daily life and diet, and said with a smile that there is no need to regulate it, just pay attention to taboos.

Yizhi listened and complained: "I said that there is no illness and no pain, you don't need to watch it, it's really nothing." If this taboo can be achieved, I am afraid that death is not far away. So saying, he went back to the flowers.

Ouyang Xu led Zhang Langzhong to the outside of the courtyard, walked halfway, separated the mother-in-law, and when there was no one, he asked: "Zhang Langzhong, my sister is really fine." ”

Zhang Jin said in a low voice: "The eldest girl's eyes are floating, sluggish, her face is like a vegetable, her lips are like paper, I think she has been thinking too much recently, she has become ill, she can't sleep well at night, she doesn't eat much, she is weak inside, her liver is hot, and she hurts her mind and body, and the old man can prescribe some prescriptions to calm the nerves and replenish qi and blood, but this disease is a heart disease, and you need heart medicine to treat it, otherwise it will ......" said this, waving his hand and not saying more.

Ouyang Xu thanked him, sent Zhang Jin, and went back to talk back to Yan Shu, Yan Shu listened, just lowered his eyes and pondered, and after a while, he sighed and said, "Children are debts!" As he spoke, he asked again: "Brother Xu, I heard that you have been quite close to Second Brother Nawen recently. ”

Ouyang Xu saw that he mentioned this, so he said: "Yes, in the past, he was only beautiful with his son, and we are not people who like to cling to socialize, and I want to come with selfishness, and I can't afford to make friends with such a son-in-law." I've seen it a few times, but it's a nodding friend. Recently, I got along and realized that he is a more real person than us. Although he was a protégé of Duke Lu, he often said some things, and he was very similar to the master's point of view, and even Liangbi sighed that he was even more like the master's student than us. ”

Yan Shu listened and asked what was going on, Ouyang Xu said: "Liangbi's temperament is upright, among his colleagues, those who love him regard him as a genius in the world, and those who hate him can't be crushed to feed the dogs." But Yanbo is different, there is no disobedience to him from top to bottom, even the bastard of Lu Sange'er, he can accept it, I asked him how to do it, he only said that there is nothing special, let it be as he likes, leisurely and happy, do not hurt the peace because of foreign objects, dare not do excessive things, just do the right thing. Although this is a superficial statement, it is a truth that everyone understands, but just ask how many people can do it, which makes me admire him even more. ”

Ouyang Xu saw that Yan Shu was speechless, and said: "To say something selfish, although I admire Liangbi, if I talk about marriage, I would prefer to let Yizhi marry Yanbo." Coincidentally, Yizhi also thought about him in his heart, which should have been a beautiful thing. ”

He paused, and then said: "It's not that I'm good with him, so I speak for him, and when it comes to intimacy, it's natural that Liangbi is more intimate with me than he is with me." Liangbi wanted to marry Su Yiyi, it was his own decision, not to mention that someone instigated it, that person only remembered it, and no one else. If Yan Bo is really a scheming villain, wouldn't he have designed it more satisfactorily and not let people notice. Or blindly avoid suspicion, too. Regardless of whether the incident happened in the east window, he just appeared on the stage with dignity and came to ask for his wife, but he was afraid that it would be too late for the master to love him, so why would he make such a scene. Master, do you say yes? ”

Yan Shu pondered for a long time, and then said: "I also know that I wronged him, I just hate them for being smart!" Liangbi really has to marry that woman, and he doesn't have to be secret! Ask for it to come to me, even if there is a great fire, the anger will disappear in a few days, and it can really break up. I put out my old face, and asked the official Wen to release the woman, and let the woman live in our house for three years, and when the household tax case is re-recorded, she will be recorded in the name of your mother.

One is angry, one has a big idea, and the most well-behaved one in the family still knows about it! How can I spare them, if I don't let them know the stakes, I don't know how big the basket will be in the future, you children, no matter how smart you are, you are still children, and what are the stakes! Yan Shu didn't feel a mouthful of turbid air blocked in his heart, his eyes were red for a while, and he didn't want Ouyang Xu to notice, so he hurriedly put his hands behind his back and looked up at the thick twilight sky.

Ouyang Xu listened to it and became more and more ashamed.

Yan relieved for a while before saying, "Fortunately, you don't know, so I told you." Now that I remember it, I heard that Liangbi is stupid every day, and he makes frequent mistakes, and if he continues to make trouble, he feels bored...... Tomorrow, make a decision tomorrow. ”
