The master and apprentice sighed for a moment, and changed the topic quite tacitly.

"It's been more than a year, and I've worked hard for Sister Lin." Xie Mingxi smiled: "I am embarrassed to let their husbands and wives separate." ”

Gu Shanchang smiled and praised Lin slightly: "The slight body is weaker, smart and sensitive, but not weaker than you." ”

For Gu Shanchang, this is already the highest level of praise.

Just like all parents in the world, they all feel that their children are the best and most outstanding.

Xie Mingxi smiled and received the master's roundabout praise: "What the master said is true." ”

Gu Shanchang praised Yan Zhenzhen again: "In the past, I always felt that Zhenzhen's temperament was a little jumpy and not calm enough. Now there is a lot of progress. In the past six months or so, he has spoken and acted in a good manner. Several children were well disciplined by her. ”

Xie Mingxi was in the capital, but he knew everything about the situation in the Shu Palace, which was thousands of miles away, and took the conversation with a smile: "Isn't it?" Even the most naughty little Bao'er was disciplined by Sister Yan to be obedient. ”

Among the children, Xiao Baoer is the most naughty and active, jumping up and down all day long, and there is no time for peace.

After Qin Sixing became pregnant, she was unable to control Xiao Bao'er, so she simply sent Xiao Bao'er to the Shu Palace.

Yan Zhenzhen has a good hand at controlling children, with a stick in her left hand and a sugar gourd in her right hand, and she quickly subdued Xiao Bao'er...... Xiao Bao'er no longer dared to pull Sister Qing'er's hair and pinch her little face.

"When Arlo left, the children were crying uncontrollably." Recalling the scene of parting that day, Gu Shanchang still felt amused: "Especially Brother You." ”

Among the children, Brother You'er is a little older, and his temperament is the quietest and calmest.

No one expected that when parting, Brother You'er cried the most.

"Ah Luo was crying vigorously, but when she saw Brother You'er crying fiercely, she opened her mouth to comfort Brother You'er."

Gu Shanchang pinched his throat and learned from Ah Luo to speak, vividly: "Brother You, don't worry. After I go back, I will ask my father to make an order to let you go back to the capital. When the time comes, we will be able to reunite. ”

Xie Mingxi snorted.

I don't know if I'm laughing at Ah Luo's little ghost, or if I'm amused by Gu Shanchang's rare naughty appearance.

The sum of the smiles over the past year or so is not as great as it is today.

The master and apprentice laughed once, and Xie Mingxi opened his mouth and said: "It has been five years to be an official, and now it has only been more than three years. Shu was governed quite well, and Sheng Hong was reluctant to transfer them all back to the capital for a while. ”

Gu Shanchang nodded and said with a smile: "Lu Chi and Zhao Qi, they are still young, and their qualifications are too shallow. It is not beneficial to return to Beijing now. ”

The court has the rules and conventions of the court. No matter how close a confidant of the Son of Heaven is, there is no reason to be a third-grade official in his twenties. At this time, when you return to Beijing, you can only start from the six-rank official.

It's better to be an official in Shudi.

……

Gu Shanchang has never been interested in the affairs of the court, and quickly turned the topic to A Luo: "When I was in Shudi, A Luo and Brother You were together, and I taught them to read. ”

"Now that you're back in the palace, what are you going to do?"

Xie Mingxi replied without hesitation: "Of course, the master will continue to teach Ah Luo. In terms of talent and character, is there a better person in this world than Master? ”

Gu Shanchang was pleasantly slapped by this sycophant, and he didn't refuse: "It's okay." I'm getting old, and it's inconvenient to work around all the time. The affairs of the academy are all up to you young people. I just have to teach Arlo well. ”

Xie Mingxi pursed his lips and smiled: "Then it's hard master." ”

"From now on, Master will live with me in the Jiaofang Palace. I ordered someone to clean up a spacious study room, which was large enough for more than a dozen children to read. In the future, it is also quite convenient to choose some companions for Ah Luo to study in the palace. ”

Gu Shanchang nodded habitually, quickly frowned again, and quickly glanced at Xie Mingxi: "Do you want me to live in the palace for a long time?" ”

What if Empress Dowager Yu has bad intentions and does it to her again?

Xie Mingxi peeked into Gu Shanchang's concerns, and smiled faintly: "Master, just stay in peace." ”

In the past few months, she has done a series of actions, and has uprooted all the eyes and ears of Empress Dowager Yu in the palace. Only Fulin Palace still has a few people who are loyal to Empress Dowager Yu.

However, it is only in the Fulin Palace.

Even Empress Dowager Yu couldn't get out of the Fulin Palace, let alone a few palace maids.

Xie Mingxi's words were full of confidence and calmness, and Gu Shanchang's somewhat apprehensive heart also settled down.

She never looked forward and cowered, and she was not a timid person who was afraid of death. If it weren't for the fear of implicating Xie Mingxi, she would have rushed to the Fulin Palace to confront Empress Dowager Yu face to face.

"Okay." Gu Shanchang responded neatly, and joked a few words by the way: "I am your master, and now I am teaching A Luo." In the future, you will support me, and I will accept it with peace of mind. ”

A smile flashed in Xie Mingxi's eyes: "Master is reasonable. ”

Speaking of which, the master and apprentice are both unrelated people.

The Xie family relied on Xie Mingxi to live, and welcomed her in every way. I really care about how good she is to her, and there is no one. Gu Shanchang is similar, and he has long broken off contact with the Gu family, but he still has some affection for his nephew Gu Qing.

Thinking of Gu Qing, Gu Shanchang couldn't help but think of the letter he had written, and asked in a low voice, "How is the Gu family now?" ”

Xie Mingxi rarely tactfully: "Lord Gu is loyal and patriotic, and he is also a rare capable minister." ”

What is loyal to the monarch and patriotic, it is clearly to see the wind and make the rudder.

The so-called capable minister is good at patting the new emperor's sycophants.

Gu Shanchang pursed his lips and snorted lightly: "Let's see how he performs in the future." If the Gu family has two hearts, the emperor doesn't have to be polite. Just let go except for the Gu family. ”

Xie Mingxi: "......"

Xie Mingxi couldn't help but smile and said seriously: "Master, don't worry. Sheng Hong will not tolerate adultery, and neither will I. ”

Gu Shanchang nodded with satisfaction: "Then I will be relieved." Up and down the Gu family, only Aqing is good. ”

Xie Mingxi continued to smile and nodded in agreement: "What Master said is true." ”

……

An hour later, Xie Mingxi returned to the bedroom.

Ah Luo had already fallen asleep, her little body curled up, revealing a white and tender little face. Sheng Hong was reluctant to sleep, and after folding the futon for Aluo, he sat on the edge of the bed and watched Aluo's sleeping face.

Xie Mingxi smiled, stepped forward lightly, and his hand fell on Sheng Hong's shoulder: "Why don't you sleep for a while?" ”

Sheng Hong took Xie Mingxi's hand, kissed her lightly in the palm of her hand, and then sighed happily: "I haven't seen my daughter for more than a year." I was finally reunited with my daughter today, and I was happy to sit and watch it for a day. ”

Oh, yes!

Xie Mingxi's eyes were soft, he bent down slightly, and rested his head on Sheng Hong's shoulder. The husband and wife leaned their heads against each other and stared at their daughter quietly.

Time seemed to stop flowing, frozen in this moment.
