Chapter 31: Deep Scheming
The carriage stopped in front of a store called Dongyue Academy. Feng Yan loosened the reins of his horse and stepped forward to knock on the door.
The door opened softly. A man dressed as a man of humble ruin walked out.
"Childe Jinqi!" Gongzi Jinqian only said four words lightly.
"Yes, it's from the capital! Come in! Liu Er! Lead the carriage to the backyard and park! The Han Ru hurriedly bowed, and then commanded a descendant behind him.
When the three of them entered the courtyard, they suddenly felt restrained. Those Confucian scholars from the Han family all called that Han Confucian Mr. Gao.
Mr. Gao invited the three of them to the main hall. After Childe Jin sat down, he took the roster off the shelf and put it on the table. Then he tugged at the sleeves of his robe and stood aside.
Gongzi Jinqian picked up the pen and circled the names of several people on the roster.
Mr. Gao hurriedly found the articles of those people on the shelf and showed them to Gongzi Jinyan.
Gongzi Jin Yan looked at it for a long time, and then handed the two volumes to Mr. Gao.
"Let them both come to me!"
"Yes!" Mr. Gao put all the volumes away and hurried away.
At this time, a woman in a white shirt came in with tea. Rouxin poured tea for Gongzi Jin. Gongzi Jinqian looked at the leaves and smelled the tea again. Then he took a gentle sip.
The woman stood nervously in front of the table. Her face was crimson, and the tip of her nose began to sweat.
"Not bad! Let's go down! Gongzi Jinyan looked at the woman's nervous appearance and said.
The woman walked out as if she had been pardoned. Rou Xin felt that the woman was well-behaved, and she couldn't help but look at it twice.
"If you think it's lovely, take it with you when you go!" Childe Jinqi put down the teacup and said.
"Thank you for your love! Xiao Ke thanked her daughter here! Mr. Gao happened to come in and hear it, so he bowed and saluted. The two young men behind him also bent down at the same time.
"This is Liu Wei, and that is Han Sheng!"
Gongzi Jin took a closer look, Liu Wei was born with red lips and white teeth, and a fair complexion. Although he was wearing Confucian clothes, the brocade silk undershirt lining was still exposed.
Han Sheng's face is dark, his cheeks are thin, and he looks like he was born in a poor family.
"I've seen Childe!" Both of them stepped forward at the same time to salute again.
"Enter Beijing in the autumn and enter the official school!" After Gongzi Jinqi finished speaking, he picked up the teacup.
"Gongzi Xie!" Liu Wei and Han Sheng looked happy, and hurriedly bowed again.
It turned out that they were going to enter the official school. Rouxin secretly wrote down the names of the two.
The three of them were arranged in the best room in the Dongyue Academy.
After Gongzi Jinqi fell asleep, Rouxin returned to her room.
"Girl! My dad asked me to bring you some refreshments! ”
"What's your name?" Rouxin pointed to the table.
"Gao Yue!" Gao Yue put the refreshments on the table and said.
"Do you want to go to the capital?" Rouxin walked over to the table and sat down. She had dinner with Feng Yan just now, and Feng Yan deliberately brought the good dishes to himself. Rouxin only ate a little and then put down her chopsticks and left.
"Of course!" Gao Yue's tone was a little excited. Although her father opened a school, most of the people he received were from poor families. Their family was poor, and Mr. Gao sometimes had to pay rice grains.
Although the capital is not far away, Gao Yue has never been there. When she saw Gongzi Jinyan and Rouxin dressed, she was very envious.
"In that case, you will follow me in the future." Rouxin picked up a piece of pastry and took a bite. Gao Yue hurriedly poured tea for her and waited.
This kid is very clever, and if he is trained well in the future, he will definitely be able to use it for himself. Rouxin secretly pondered. How did she know Gongzi Jin's thoughts?
Gongzi Jinqian just wants Gao Yue to keep an eye on Rouxin at all times. Neither he nor Feng Yan could do this.
Gao Yue didn't know that he had become someone else's pawn. She can't sleep with excitement?
Rouxin blew out the candle, and when she walked to the back window and was about to close, Childe Qingqian held on to the window frame.
Rouxin was startled and almost screamed. Childe's shallow hand pressed her lips.
Rouxin settled down and told the story of Gongzi Jin's meeting with those two young people today.
"He said they would be enrolled in government schools this fall?" Childe Qingqian was also quite surprised. If this is the case, what Gongzi Jinyan has done is not out of line.
Suddenly, there was a gentle knock on the door of the soft heart three times. Childe Qingqian motioned for Rouxin to open the door. He hid in the side of the window.
Soft heart rekindles the candle. Then she plucked her hairpin, put her hair in a bun, walked to the door and asked softly, "Who?" ”
"Me!" Childe Jin's voice sounded outside the door.
"It's so late, is there something wrong with Childe?" Rouxin didn't open the door right away.
"I want to go for a late-night snack! Come on too! The figure of Gongzi Jinqi disappeared outside the door. He didn't give Rouxin a chance to refuse.
Rouxin glanced at the back window, and Childe's shallow figure appeared there.
Rouxin knew she didn't have a choice. She put on her cloak and walked out the door. She caught up with Gongzi Jinqian at the entrance of the school.
The moonlight is exceptionally bright tonight. Rou Xinjin followed Gongzi Jinqian and walked forward. They didn't know how long they walked, but none of the shops had lights.
"Childe! It's late and the shops are closed! Let's go back! Rouxin felt that Gongzi Jinqi was not going out for some supper.
"No hurry! There is a restaurant in front that is not closed all night! Childe Jin walked slowly.
Turns out he's been here before! Rouxin was silent. Childe Jin Yan is now her master. What he had to do, she could only obey.
The restaurant that Gongzi Jinqian said is called Chuixiang Building. It was a news office of the second prince in Liyang County.
After Gongzi Jinqian sat down, he pointed to the opposite position and asked Rouxin to sit down and have supper together. Rouxin hesitated, walked over and sat down.
Two bowls of gnocchi were served. Childe Jin sprinkled sesame seeds in the bowl. Rouxin took a spoon and picked up a gnocchi and blew gently.
The gnocchi was delicious, and Rouxin liked it very much. But before she knew it, she fainted on the table.
"I've seen Childe!" Luan Yushu, who had a shrewd face, walked in and said with a salute.
Gongzi Jinqian frowned and looked at Rouxin. Luan Yushu was secretly taken aback in his heart. Could it be that Feng Yan misreported the news?
"News from the capital! The third prince has already revealed his private learning to the emperor! The master has a message, please be careful on this trip! ”
"That's all?" Gongzi Jinqian wiped the corners of his mouth with a towel.
"There is no news of Childe's shallowness. His guards Liu Tao and Hanguang guarded the door of his study day and night. Our people can't hear anything inside! ”
"Has he ever been out of the study?" Childe Jin asked.
"I don't know about this! There will be news tomorrow! Luan Yushu's heart beat a small drum! It is said that Gongzi Jinqi is very powerful, and what he said is true!
"I'll leave here tomorrow!" Childe Jinqi stood up.
Luan Yushu took out a porcelain vase from his sleeve, stuffed it in front of Rouxin's nose and shook it.
Rouxin slowly raised her head. Luan Yushu has gone out. Rouxin only saw Gongzi Jin's complicated gaze.
"Let's go back!" Childe Jin Yan walked with a few steps. Rouxin felt top-heavy when she stood up. Her body shook uncontrollably.
The corner of Gongzi Jin's eyes has been seen. He leaned sideways and gave a touch to Rouxin. Rouxin felt weak, unsteady on her feet, and fell into the arms of Gongzi Jinyan.
Gongzi Jin's body stiffened for a moment, and then he picked up Rouxin and walked out of the restaurant.
Childe Qingqian saw this scene on the eaves opposite. Could it be that Rouxin is hurt? Still is......
"I'll come down and walk myself!" Rouxin struggled to get up.
"Don't move!" Gongzi Jinqian said in a low voice.
Rouxin really didn't dare to move. Somehow, she felt very comfortable in the arms of Gongzi Jin. Maybe it's because the medicine hasn't worn off. Rouxin fell asleep in the arms of Gongzi Jinyan.
Feng Yan saw Gongzi Jinqian coming back with a soft heart at the door of the school hall. His heart was uneasy.
Gongzi Jinyan didn't say anything, and walked directly into him.
Childe Jin knew that what Feng Yan did was right. Although Feng Yan didn't reveal anything to himself in advance, what he did was to protect himself. Naturally, he would not blame such a loyal man!
