Since Xu Yuan won the champion and was awarded the official Hanlin revision, it was difficult for Xu Yuan to see him, looking for him, and he always ended up with a cold and lonely result.

Is Xu Yuan infatuated with the dusty woman in the hook bar, otherwise why do you always go outside and can't go home? Xu Mo thought about it, and forgot to ask Xu Yuan's whereabouts.

Jin Ting looked at the flamboyant tongue, said sweet things to everyone, and was very loyal to Xu Yuan in his heart, and it was strange that he was willing to reveal Xu Yuan's whereabouts, and he would only prevaricate him with the rhetoric of going to the street and going to the bookstore.

Li Mansion was just the last place Xu Yuan was going to, and before going, he hired a sedan chair to enjoy the scenery of the capital while going to the mansion of Shoufu Chen Buhou.

When they met Li Bozhang in the past, they all agreed on a place to meet in advance, and when the day came, they would take a sedan chair and a carriage to go. But he went to see Li Bozhang today on a whim last night, and he didn't inform Chen Mian in advance, so he needed to come to the door to invite.

Now the court is divided into two factions, one of which is led by Li Chongshan, the secretary of the military department who supports Emperor Chengkang's ascension, and the other faction is walking in secret, deliberately supporting King Chengping.

If he enters the Li Mansion alone, in the eyes of the ministers, he will be the new champion of the current year who has followed Li Chongshan, and the ministers of Li Chongshan's faction will be happy, but the other faction will regard him as a lackey of the traitorous ministers.

Xu Yuan wants to be a traitor, but not in such an obscure way, calling Chen Mian is undoubtedly the best choice.

The guard of the Chen Mansion recognized Xu Yuan, and knew that he came here to find Chen Mian to go out to play, and said regretfully: "Xu Gongzi came unfortunately, today Gongzi accompanied Miss Qin's mother and daughter to the temple to burn incense, and he will return later." ”

The gatekeeper invited him in for a cup of tea, but Xu Yuanwan refused, and asked the doorkeeper to tell him after Chen Mian came back, sat in the sedan chair, and told the sedan chair man to go to Li's mansion.

When passing through the warm house, the street is congested all of a sudden, the sedan chair can not pass, it turns out that a few ladies go out to go out, specially to buy pastries in the warm house, the carriage can not let the retreat, which blocks the road.

Xu Yuan instructed the palanquin man to wait in place, smelling the familiar smell of pastries, and suddenly heard two mothers-in-law outside carrying a suitcase on their wrists, chattering.

"It's also Mrs. Shangshu, Mrs. Li can accompany Master Li to Xiangshan to see the apricot blossoms, and our wife can only go around and look at Qingliu."

"It's not good, my wife is staying at home today to participate in Zen and worship the Buddha, the maids have a bitter face, and they are procrastinating in doing things, so I am not light."

"I heard our master say that Master Li can go to Xiangshan, and it is the emperor's permission......" The mother-in-law said in a low voice at this time.

"No, after our lord retreated from the dynasty this morning, I heard Lord Li begging the emperor, saying that it was the beauty of Xiangshan apricot blossoms, and his wife wanted to touch the joy of all the mothers!"

"The emperor has reused Lord Li over the years, and only when a natural disaster has occurred in any prefecture or county, or at the end of the year, does he think of our master...... As soon as Chrysostom opened, it was not my master who was tired and tired! ”

"Don't say this, be heard carefully by Jinyiwei!" The other mother-in-law hurriedly looked around, for fear that a brocade guard would suddenly flash out from the street corner.

The mother-in-law twisted her body and said: "What are you afraid of, the cold-faced Hades is not here, and the Jinyi Guard is a group of sheep without a leader, and I am panicked in my heart." ”

When I was young, the two mothers-in-law saw their own lady and young lady come out, and they would greet them without saying a word.

When the sedan chair man saw the carriage and horses leaving, he knocked on the sedan door and asked Xu Yuan if he could leave for the painting in front.

Xu Yuan was still thinking about the conversation between the two mothers-in-law, shook his head and said outside: "You don't need to go to the painting house, go directly to the Li Mansion." ”

Li Chongshan went to Xiangshan, and the reason to buy a painting and invite Li Bozhang to taste it together was useless.

It's just that Li Chongshan has the intention to go to Xiangshan with the holy car, and he only needs to say that he is worried about the emperor's safety, but he wants to say that Mrs. Li likes apricot blossoms, is it really just because of this reason?

After thinking about it, the Li Mansion had arrived, and the guards went to report it, and after a while, he turned back and took Xu Yuan to the courtyard where Li Bozhang lived.

"Brother Xu, you came just in time, I found a good book in the Hanlin Academy yesterday, let's take a look!"

Li Bozhang didn't expect Xu Yuan to come to him, he was worried that the questions in his heart were unanswered, his eyebrows and eyes were full of smiles, and he ordered someone to prepare tea and pastries.

"What problem did you encounter that made you feel like this?" Xu Yuan took the book and looked at it, and there were several flower names written on the yellowed pages.

Li Bozhang pointed to one of them and said: "I didn't like to look at such idle flowers and grass in the past, but when I saw this book yesterday, I couldn't move my feet, can you help me see what the ryoshi written here looks like...... I heard Chen Mian say that the third lady of the Ruan family, who was married to you, has a diamond character in her name, and you must have seen this kind of flower. ”

Xu Yuan was stunned for a moment, and guessed that it must be Jinting who didn't keep his mouth open when he was in Dengke Book Society, and spread the news.

"This rhombic flower is a fairy on the water, born with a faint fragrance, lovely to look at, and pleasing to smell."

Li Bozhang was stunned to listen to Xu Yuan's description of how many petals the rhombic flower has, what is the difference between it and the lotus, and when he was in a reverie, he blurted out: "You said the rhombic flower so well, aren't you taking the opportunity to praise your little wife!" ”

"What nonsense!" Xu Yuan smiled and returned the book to Li Bozhang. "She has nothing to do with me, and even if you don't care about me, you have to take care of her reputation."

Li Bozhang raised his eyebrows and smiled: "You see that you are still protecting her, and you obviously have a heart for others." His arm hit Xu Yuan, "Isn't it that your heart is higher than the sky, and you want to be a royal son-in-law, so you abandoned others?" ”

"It's nonsense again, the royal son-in-law is what everyone does." Besides, he never had the idea of being a royal son-in-law, "I'm not suitable for her." ”

"Since you're not suitable, fair lady gentleman, I'll try it!" Li Bozhang hugged his arms and clutched the book, and said to a pot of quiet bluegrass on the flower table, "There are beauties who will never forget, since you compare the rhombus to a fairy, Miss Ruan Jiasan must also be a fairy-like character." I've heard my dad and Master Gu mention her a few times, and I think I'm very satisfied with her! ”

"I can't help it!"

Xu Yuan's voice almost roared, and when he came back to his senses, he saw the smug look on Li Bozhang's face, and he realized that he had been tricked.

Li Bozhang laughed and said: "Look at what I say, King Xiang has a dream!" I just don't know if the goddess has a heart. ”

Xu Yuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, Li Bozhang was joking.

If he really intends to marry Ruan Miaoling, he is afraid that Li Chongshan will attack her in advance.

Li Chongshan has only one son, and if Li Bozhang marries Ruan Miaoling home, he is afraid that he will die. Ruan Miaoling can harm anyone, but she can't harm the only seedling of the Li family.

Li Chongshan and Gu Chengming often mention Ruan Miaoling, what is the content, how did they empty the Ruan family through the Xu family, and then kill her?

After staying in the study for an hour, Xu Yuan got up to say goodbye, but saw that the servant who was kneeling outside the courtyard gate when he came was still there.
