Chapter 87: Rival in Love
When Hu Yanshu saw the carriage and horses and the guards at the door, he knew that the Son of Heaven should be here. But it's not good to go at the moment, but it looks sneaky when you go, and you have no choice but to let people pass it on.
After all, Liu Jin has a lot of eyeliner nearby, even if those guards don't see him, he can't go like this. Liu Jin was waiting for Jian Ning to make a mistake, and the meaning of the Son of Heaven to Jian Ning was also known through Li Dongyang. Therefore, at this time, no one can leave a handle.
It's just that he's depressed too.
Even if he can't be a husband and wife, he still wants her to be good. And marrying the Son of Heaven, he doesn't think it's a good way out. As soon as you enter the palace gate, it is as deep as the sea, how can the woman of the Son of Heaven be so good?
With deep worry, he entered the flower hall, saluted, knelt down and said: "Student Hu Yu pays a visit to my emperor, long live my emperor, long live long live." ”
Jian Ning glanced at Zhengde, thinking that this guy would take Qiao or something, but who knew that he raised his hand, "Flat." ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Hu Yanshu got up, stood with his hands crossed, and did not dare to raise his head. His level is not enough, the Son of Heaven does not let him raise his head, and the face of that day is unobservable.
Zhengde's afterglow glanced at Jian Ning, and when he saw her peeking at herself, he was secretly annoyed in his heart.
Am I really a villain?
I am rich all over the world, and I rule the world, even if I eat in my heart, how can it be manifested on the surface? Isn't it laughed off to be laughed at when you are jealous for this little thing?
"I heard that when Yun Shu was in trouble, how helpful did you help her?"
"Back to Your Majesty, you can't talk about help, it's just mutual benefit."
"What do you mean by that?"
"Your Majesty, the student's parents died early, leaving a bookstore, and the student is a book seller, so naturally he needs good books to live. With the blessing of the ancestors, let the students meet Mr. Jane and get good works, and now the bookstore business is booming, and students can study with peace of mind without worrying about money, and they can also realize their ambitions in the imperial examination in the future. ”
This was true, but it made Zhu Houzhao's heart soften. Looking at Hu Yanshu's bearing again, I couldn't help but sigh secretly.
What a humble and gentle gentleman, good demeanor!
But this thought, people are good-looking, and educated, although their parents are gone, but they are also famous ministers. In addition to being the Son of Heaven, there seems to be nothing comparable to others.
Yun Shu has a university question, and he has to be energetic when he chats with her, and the classic source is to open his mouth, and if he relaxes himself, he will be embarrassed.
Learned people naturally like to be learned, and then look at this person's face is as white as jade, his body is long, and he stands there indescribably elegant, and his heart is sour.
"Ambition? Hehe, he learned to sell the art of literature and martial arts to the emperor's family, but he is an understanding person. ”
As soon as my heart is sour, my tone will inevitably be a little yin and yang.
"I heard that you once proposed to Yun Shu? It's no wonder that my fair lady and gentleman are good, but I don't know why you didn't get married? ”
Hu Yanshu's palms were also sweating. He's not a monster like Jain, he's an out-and-out native.
The concept of Heaven and Earth Monarch has long been integrated into his bones. At this moment, it is remarkable that he can still maintain his composure when he sees Tianyan. At this time, the Son of Heaven's tone was obviously not good, and the questions he asked were so sensitive, if he didn't deal with it properly, it didn't matter if he died, and it would not be good if it affected Jian Ning.
Jian Ning's face was dark, is this Zhengde neurotic? What does his past have to do with him? Isn't this a clear embarrassment for Hu Yanshu?
"Back to Your Majesty, the elders under me once saw Mr. Jian at the birthday banquet of an old lady in his hometown, and later learned that she was a hundred young people in Jinling, so they started to match."
Hu Yanshu bowed, raised his head and smiled bitterly, "After all, my husband and I are both fatherless and motherless people, and the elders feel that it is not bad to be matched like this." It's just that they don't know that my husband and I have already married each other, which can also be testified by Fang Lizheng, I only regard my husband as a sister. And my husband only sees me as a brother. ”
Zhengde was stunned, "Are you married?" ”
"Not bad."
Jian Ning had a calm face, "I have long recognized Brother Hu as my brother-in-law, otherwise how would my daughter's family deal with themselves?" Publish books, sell them, and meet book lovers to discuss many details. My brother is a student, and my father is also a student, so they are not people who don't know how to be polite, so they naturally know how to avoid suspicion. Besides, my brother has a noble character, and he has taken care of him since he met, I am lonely, and my brother is also a poor person, so I simply got married and became a brother and sister with a different surname with Brother Hu. ”
"Ah, I see!"
The second brother suddenly realized, "No wonder that the eldest sister said that you didn't want to say Sanniang, it turns out that you have already recognized Brother Hu as your brother!" Then why didn't you call me? ”
Jian Ning couldn't cry or laugh. How can there be such a thing? It's just that she and Hu Yanshu are both smart people. Zhengde's mind is known to everyone in the world, and he said so for the safety of the two families. Where can I tell the second brother about the shadows?
Fortunately, the second brother didn't say anything, so she said: "I'm in charge of these things, doesn't my brother also like Brother Hu?" ”
The second brother nodded vigorously, "Your Majesty, Brother Hu is really a good person, and we also said that we have a good brother." Hey? ”
The second brother's eyes lit up, and he suddenly said happily: "How do I say that I have a good brother, it turns out that this is what it means!" ”
Zhengde's heart was relieved, and his face was a little better. But I still secretly said in my heart: Even if they are godfathers, if they don't have a face, they can get married, I still have to guard against this kid.
Tomorrow, I will ask a few masters to come and give me a lecture. He didn't believe it, the teachers around him were the best in the world, if he worked hard, he wouldn't be as good as this kid? I'm not a scholar with this kid, hum.
"I see, the Tao is really the end of the world."
Zhengde said quietly: "I don't know what ambitions you have? ”
After a pause, he said: "Then don't talk about what is to open peace for all generations, and help the world." You are not tired, my ears can hear the calluses. ”
Hmph, boy, don't try to fool me, I'll see what you can say.
"Back to Your Majesty, the students don't dare to think about opening peace for all generations, what the students think about is the shepherd's side."
"Hah!"
Zhengde smiled, "Is your ambition big or small?" If you say it's big, well, you haven't made a name for yourself, and it's really arrogant to think about being a prince. But if it's an ambition, your ambition is too small, right? ”
"Back to Your Majesty, a few years ago, students also admired those sages when they read history, and they always felt that it was their true ambition and ideal to do great things. But in the past two years, the students have a new understanding. The world is so big, it is naturally good to be ranked in the court. But everyone is in the court, who will shepherd one side for the Son of Heaven? Students think that being a parent is no less than being a first assistant. If the students can cure a place, so that the people have hardships to complain about, reliable mountains, food to eat, and clothes to wear, it is a great good! ”
Zhengde pondered, and after a long while, he let out a long sigh and said: "There are no grandiose words, no fancy words, only simple and sincere, which are really heartfelt." ”
After a pause, he said: "Changzhou's literary style is prosperous, Confucianism is magnificent, and it adheres to the state of rigorous learning. ”
He kept nodding his head, and he also went to Hu Yanshu's careful thoughts, with appreciation in his eyes, "You are a good one, study hard, and I will be famous in Donghuamen!" ”
"Thank you Your Majesty for your encouragement, students should be diligent and live up to their expectations!"
Zhengde's praise is equivalent to an insurance policy for Hu Yanshu. Speaking of which, the imperial examination does seem to be very fair, but in fact, there is a way inside.
Hu Yanshu is not a straw bag, and the article is definitely handy. If Zi said this today, then it is not surprising that he will definitely pass the next imperial examination. After all, the Son of Heaven says that he is good, you can't let him fall off the list, right? Isn't this a slap in the face? As long as the article is not written as a stinky, it must be hit.
Zhengde didn't know that he had invisibly given the "rival in love" a chance, but he was a little proud. Because Jian Ning looked at him in surprise, and then softened again.
This made Zhengde feel that Jian Ning had discovered his goodness. I'm not the kind of cautious thing, I'm big-minded! This is called kingly bearing!
"You're here to pick up the manuscript?"
After he finished proudly, he asked about other things, like checking his household registration, and even Hu Yanshu usually liked what he had to ask, which made him seem to care about the students very much, if ordinary people were moved to tears. Only Hu Yanshu and Jian Ning knew in their hearts that the Son of Heaven actually minded.
Jian Ning wondered in her heart: Could it be that she was marked as Zhengde's private property like this?
Hu Yanshu is also bitter in his heart: there is no fate at all now.
Since he can't be married to her, then he, who is a brother, naturally has to plan well for his sister, how can he not enter the palace and be bullied, discuss with his family later, whether he will do this kissing thing, and it will be a help in the future, don't make people feel that there is no one in Yun Shuniang's family.
Several people have their own thoughts, only the second brother is happy. He loves to be lively, and he is happy when he sees a lot of people in his family, especially when there are many people, there are many delicious foods.
Talking and laughing, it was soon time for lunch. Hu Yanshu was naturally left by the Son of Heaven and continued to chat.
Putting aside the diaphragm in his heart, Zhengde also found that Hu Yanshu was a good person. Xu is a lot of miscellaneous books, can always say a lot of interesting things, and is also quite insightful about current political affairs. Let Zhengde respond while regretting it.
That's it.
As long as Yun Shu likes me, I don't care about the rest.
After a certain emperor secretly made up his mind, he said: "You also have to pay more attention to the imperial examination, this is a lifelong matter, and the idle affairs will be left to the servants to take care of." ”
This concern made Hu Yanshu "flattered", and he hurriedly saluted: "Thank you Your Majesty for your care......"
"Report!"
Before he finished speaking, someone came outside, and when he entered the house, he knelt on the ground and said, "Your Majesty, the queen has issued a decree to summon Mr. Jian into the palace." ”
Zhengde's face changed, and he said, "What is she making a fuss about?" What are you looking for Yun Shu to do?! Don't go! ”
"Your Majesty!"
Another person came outside, "The Queen Mother has come to see Mr. Jane." ”
