What Lin Huiru didn't expect was that after Xu Ziqiao came back that night, she heard a huge gossip, that person couldn't bear the beating soon after being sent to the criminal department, and called everything off, it turned out that the person behind him was not someone else, it was the woman named Shen Jiao who had wanted to get close to them three times and twice before.

"Why would he do that? I remember that it seems that because of the previous incident, but Shen Jiao and their entire clan were implicated, and only the woman who married out was exempted from the difficulty, and he still did this, didn't he straighten his waist and hit the knife?" Lin Huiru asked.

Xu Ziqiao shook his head, he only knew about this matter by listening to other people in the Hanlin Academy, and he was not a gossip person, but the air was the most well-informed place, especially since they were still subordinate to the emperor, and the news could be said to be the most well-informed person.

"But to do this kind of thing at this time, it should be a dog jumping off the wall in a hurry. But the order to execute has already been ordered, and I don't understand the point of her going to get that stitch now. Xu Ziqiao analyzed.

Lin Huiru smashed her mouth, "This is really elusive, but in this way, the life she could have saved will be lost, if the Shen family hadn't done a lot of evil at the beginning, maybe it won't be retribution now, that time, except for many people from King Xiang, the court should still be relatively peaceful now." ”

"On the contrary, because there are not many people from King Xiang, several other princes began to feel that they had hope, and they were all eager to try, and the current court is even more complicated than before, all in order to compete to perform in front of the emperor." Xu Ziqiao sighed, now the corruption of the court is no longer something that can be solved by finding some ministers, and now the root of the problem is that none of those princes is suitable for inheriting the unification.

Lin Huiru waved her hand and said that she didn't want to continue this topic, she had a headache when she thought about these problems, and when those dishonest little kings and eight lambs came to power, they should all be old and things should have nothing to do with them, and now they worry too much about it, and they may have wrinkles.

In this court, there is no one who can choose to be clean, the cleaner the washing, the more people want to touch you in the dark, Lin Huiru's important calculation is to make Xu Ziqiao imagine that they will spend the rest of their lives in peace and stability after returning to the town, and there is nothing more comfortable than this.

But Lin Huiru thought that this matter would pass like this, but he didn't expect that the next day they would usher in a long-lost face.

Lee Kee.

"It's been a long time since you've been here, and you haven't had time to visit you since the last time you came back to work. How's it going?" Xu Ziqiao, who stole his official uniform, is still the same as before, with a literati atmosphere, and he is not stained with the struggling temperament of the court.

Li Ji scratched his head and smiled embarrassedly, he is equivalent to studying in a different place now, and what can he compare with before, the reason why he has no face to come Xu Ziqiao is because he thinks it is like a joke now.

"I'm still like that, sometimes even if I want to work hard, I may have a lot of attacks, but it seems that there will be another exam in another year, and then it seems that qualified people can go directly to the Hanlin Academy or the cabinet to learn first, and then I will be in the same place as Brother Xu, but I think that with Brother Xu, your speed of promotion and fortune should have soared a long time ago, right?" Li Ji drank tea and teased embarrassedly.

However, Xu Ziqiao's promotion to make a fortune is really fast, and it is enough to shock everyone in the court by giving him a fourth-grade official at the beginning, and the people of the Hanlin Academy don't look down on Xu Ziqiao and always think that he is a good fate, but now that it has been a long time, until Xu Ziqiao was promoted to the third grade, there are more and more people in the Hanlin Academy who admire him.

Since then, the gap in Li Ji's heart has become bigger and bigger, and he has become more and more embarrassed to come to see Xu Ziqiao.

"It's better to be an official and down-to-earth, the higher you fly, the worse you fall, it's not like you haven't heard of this kind of truth, not to mention that it's in a desperate place like the court, I think it's better to be safe and stable, and don't think about those unrealistic things." Xu Ziqiao looked at Li Ji and always felt that Li Ji seemed to have changed a lot after not seeing him for a while, and the whole person had a lot of vicissitudes, but he didn't know why, and he didn't know how to ask the words

"Not everyone is like Brother Xu, I just want to soar and become a man of envy in the future, but I don't have that ability." Li Ji sighed as he spoke, his eyes flashing with the same look, as if he wanted to say something but couldn't.

Lin Huiru was a villain, and she saw that Li Ji had not received much help from Li Ji before thinking about it, so she said, "Although we are not very good now, if you encounter any trouble, you can come to us at any time." ”

After hearing Lin Huiru say this, Li Ji's eyes lit up, but the entanglement in his heart made him dare not say what was in his heart.

After a while, Li Ji smiled awkwardly, "Actually, it's nothing, I just think it's not good to keep running away from myself, I want to come and see you, see that you are all doing well, I will be relieved, there is nothing else, and it would be better if I could eat another meal cooked by my sister-in-law." ”

"Yes, I now cook for Xu Ziqiao every night, my skills should have a lot of progress, you are lonely in the capital alone, if it is not too far, you can come and eat every day." Lin Huiru said politely.

"Since I have my sister-in-law's words, if I have time, I will definitely come to trouble you, but now I'm still busy retaking my studies, so I won't stay for now." Li Ji hurriedly finished speaking, turned around and left.

Xu Ziqiao and Lin Huiru looked at each other, both feeling that today's Li Ji was very strange, but no one could ask.

"It's really a place in the capital that is hard to describe, I always feel that I haven't seen each other for a few days, Li Ji seems to have changed a lot, and I always feel that he has experienced a lot of vicissitudes." Lin Huiru sighed, now it was difficult for him to imagine Li Ji and the sunny boy before.

"Maybe he's busy with his studies, if he can forget to sleep and eat, and study hard for a while, he should be able to enter the Hanlin Academy or the cabinet soon, and then he won't have to worry about his livelihood." Xu Ziqiao squinted, he thought that although Li Ji could stay in the capital now, the subsidy for this student was also very small. Every day should be very difficult, they have been classmates for more than ten years, and they need more help.
