"I'm sighing for my son, you were chatting with Lord Rong, that Baolan Gege didn't come early, didn't come late, but it came out at this time, it's really a bad scenery!" Xue Yan said indignantly.

Huai Sleeve felt even more amused after hearing this, and asked along with her words, "Does Lord Rong often come to the house?" "

Xue Yan said: "I did see him a few times in the mansion, but I'm not sure if he comes often. I am a maid of Fu Jin, and I only walk around the inner house, and I do not go to the front yard or study to serve visitors. "

Huai Sleeve was silent after hearing this.

Xue Yan thought that Huai Sleeve was disappointed, and hurriedly smiled: "It's not difficult, I have a good relationship with the girl who serves tea in the adult's study, and the next time if Lord Rong comes to the house again, I will let her tell her secretly." "

"It's not good to be aware of your brother-in-law's private peeping." Huai Sleeve frowned, she was worried that it would not be good for her brother-in-law to know about these things.

"Let's just inquire about Lord Rong, and don't ask, it's okay!" Snow Goose Road.

Huai Sleeve only smiled slightly, and did not speak again. But he was thinking about it in his mind: he mentioned 'entering the palace' again, and it seems that he often goes in and out of the forbidden palace. I originally wanted to take the opportunity to meet him to inquire about the affairs of the palace, but I didn't have time to ask...... That Baolange is indeed a bit of a bad scenery!

"Snow Goose, do you know what official rank Lord Rong is?" Huai Sleeve asked suddenly.

Xue Yan shook her head and said, "I don't know, I don't dare to ask this." Then he said: "But his Amma, Lord Mingzhu's official rank is very high, and it seems that he is still very powerful in the court!" "

Huai Sleeve nodded slightly.

The Forbidden City

In Kangxinan's study, there was a crisp dripping sound of dripping, and the bronze animal's foot incense burner was full of smoke.

Rong Ruo and Gu Zhenguan stood on the side. Emperor Kangxi, who was sitting behind the dragon book case, was wearing a yellow tribute satin brocade shirt, his eyes were slightly closed, and his fingers gently stroked a smooth and clear jade Ruyi paperweight, and a note was placed in front of him.

After a while, Kangxi tapped the note on the table twice with his fingers, stroked his forehead, showed a trace of tiredness on his face, and slowly said: "I will think about this note again, I don't want to do this today." From last night to now, my mind is full of bad things about the western election officials, Wei Dongting talked about what he saw and heard about his westward trip for a night, and my brain hurts now. Kangxi rubbed his temples as he spoke, and Li Dequan, the chief eunuch standing beside him, saw this scene and hurriedly changed the cup of soothing tea.

"Please treasure the dragon body. The minister will go down and investigate this matter carefully. Rong Ruo said.

Kangxi nodded slightly, raised his eyes to look at Rong Ruo, and suddenly smiled: "Lord Rong, I heard that you have been very close to the Baolan Gege of the Suo Etu family recently, is it true?" "

Rong Ruo frowned slightly when he heard this, and Gu Zhenguan next to him couldn't hold back a light laugh when he heard this.

Kangxi is a young man, and he is the same age as Rong Ruo and Gu Zhenguan, so he chats in private, and he doesn't stick to those rules and etiquette, and they talk very casually.

"Back to Long Live Lord, it's just because the two families have some friendship, I have known Baolan Gege since I was a child, but I just met and exchanged a few words." Rong Ruo explained.

Kangxi saw that he was busy settling relations with Baolan, so he couldn't help laughing, and said: "Yesterday I went to greet the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother was still thinking about you, asking if you had a favorite person, and said that I would point you another marriage." I thought that if you liked Baolan, I would point her to you. "

When Rong Ruo heard this, he immediately knelt down and said: "Baolan Gege was born smart and noble, when he participates in the draft, enters the palace and selects the noble concubines to serve the emperor, the ministers dare not violate the rules of the Holy Emperor!" "

Kangxi waved his hand and said with a smile: "It's just a woman, my harem is abundant, not in this one or two." "

"Your Majesty, the minister and Baolan Gege really have no personal relationship!" Rong Ruo refused in a hurry, and kowtowed again and again.

Kangxi saw that Rong Ruo refused so strongly, and saw Gu Zhenguan holding back a smile next to him, so he became curious and asked, "You get up first, I didn't say that I must force Baolan to you, why are you so nervous?" After speaking, he looked at Gu Zhenguan again and asked, "Gu Qing, you tell me, what is the reason for him?" Could it be that the daughter of Etu is unsightly? Or does he already have a crush on him? "

Rong Ruo turned his face sideways and secretly handed Gu Zhenguan a look for help.

Gu Zhenguan said with a smile: "Back to the emperor, if the emperor decrees that this Baolan Gege will be married to Lord Rongruo, I am afraid that he will be more and more diligent in his work in the future, and he will not even return to the Ming Mansion." "

Kangxi laughed when he heard this: "Haha, my first genius in the Manchu Dynasty actually has such a fearful person, I really want to meet this Baolan Gege, Rong Ruo, Zhenguan, one day you two accompany me out of the palace for a walk." "

"Huh!"

Rong Ruo and Gu Zhenguan walked out of the south study, Rong Ruo pointed at Gu Zhenguan and said, "Why did you push me into the fire pit today?" You know that I can't hide from Baolan. "

Gu Zhenguan said with a smile: "I see that Baolan Gege is very good, he looks handsome, and he is even more deep for you, and he is the daughter of Master Suo, why not?" "

Rong Ruo said: "Look at it, I will ask the emperor to give you a good time!" "

Gu Zhenguan smiled and said, "I already have a family, and I can't afford it," and then said: "Who was the woman in the Shangshu Mansion of the Military Department that day?" Recruit from the truth! "

Rong Ruobai glanced at Gu Zhenguan and reprimanded: "When will you be like a woman's family, and you will listen to this?" "Anyway, take a few steps and ignore it.

Gu Zhenguan said with a smile: "Isn't it as the emperor said, you have a favorite woman!" After the words fell, the two of them went out to the noon gate.

At this time, in the Shangshu Mansion of the Ministry of War, he sat at the desk with his sleeves upright, holding a book of words in his hand and reading it carefully, "Ah! "Suddenly there was a big sneeze.

Xue Yan came over with tea and said with a smile: "Yo, who is talking about Xiao Gege?" "

Huai Sleeve stared at the pages of the book intently, and muttered: "I didn't expect this Lord Rong to be so talented, I only heard Mr. Wu Hancha talk about that Gu Zhenguan is a talented man before, and I also heard that there is a young son of the Mingzhu family who is outstanding in literature, but I didn't expect the young son of the Mingzhu family to refer to him!" "

"Yes, hasn't Gege read Rong Gongzi's words before? In this capital, every family sings "Drinking Water Words"! Xue Yan smiled.

Shaking her head with her sleeves and sorting out her clothes, Su'er couldn't help but interject: "The books that my Gege read when he was at home were all personally selected by our ancestors, what "Book of Songs", "Chu Ci", "Confucius" and "Meng".

It's not a subset of the scriptures and histories explained by Mr. Wu. It's not like those Gege county lords in the capital, who only read some show lyrics and songs, which are just used to sensationalize. "

Xue Yan retorted: "I naturally know that our general's mansion is well educated, but Lord Rong's words are not showy and glamorous, and even the current emperor is full of praise when he sees it!" "

What Huai Sleeve is flipping in his hand is "Drinking Water Words", which Xue Yan specially asked someone to find.

She had only watched a few songs, but she couldn't help but wonder.

When I see him, I have a hearty temperament, but when I read his context, I can't get rid of those melancholy and loneliness. Huai Sleeve suddenly remembered the cold and clear eyes in his eyes when he first saw him.

"What are you talking about, it's so lively!" A few people were chatting, the curtain cage was lightly raised, and Hongqing walked in from outside the door.

Seeing that it was her, Huai Sleeve asked with a smile: "Why do you have time to come to me, the second sister is going to the Buddha Hall again?" "

Hongqing smiled: "I'm here to invite Xiao Gege over, and Ergege is waiting for you in the flower hall." "

Hearing this, Huai Sleeve hurriedly got up and tidied up a little, and followed Hongqing to the front hall. When I came to the flower hall, I stepped into the west wing, and I heard Zhu Hetana's laughter, and when I saw my sleeves walking in, Zhu Hetana said: "Come here, try a few new clothes for you, see if you like the style or not." "
