Life is strange, dark and twilight.

Feng Shuanglin looked coldly at the twelve-year-old white jade boy, hanging his head and neck, softly and softly led into the barracks by several soldiers, thrown on the pickled chairs, stripped off his pants, one of the medical officers raised a knife in his hand, and he threw it away to feed the dog.

Looking at the puddle of scarlet on his pants, the young man hid his face and wept bitterly, he was the son of a former important minister, who was captured by the rebel new army in Yunnan, tortured, and wanted to be sent to the palace as a eunuch.

Suddenly, in the late autumn of September, the four fields are frosty, the sky is high, the water is dry, and the geese are sad.

The young man was raided by the barbarians at the border pass along the march, and the little general saw that he was born with red lips and white teeth, and that he was unusually handsome like a woman, so he took him into the tent that night and made some tragic things.

The barbarian Tartar is iron-boned and copper-skinned, and the hard hair is like a hedgehog thorn, how can a weak boy bear it, and he carries it alive, and he has gone to half his life without dying, not to mention the shame of being teased by the public after talking about it.

Suddenly, the young man was lying in the barracks, and he had nothing to do with the killing and shaking of the sky outside, his eyebrows were bright, staring at the large hole in the top of the tent that was torn by the cold wind, you see, the sunset was still there, and the white moon was already cold and hanging in the air.

He's going to die! How could I hear a long sigh, a black coat wrapped around the broken and naked body, and at any time, it was a man in a crimson official robe, very tall, with an elegant and elegant face, a deep gaze with a touch of compassion, and a gentle and kind smile.

Feng Shuanglin suddenly opened his eyes and sat up straight. The book in his hand was pressed against the gap between his legs, and the bamboo-bone landscape fan slipped and fell under the bed, and his forehead was covered with dense sweat, only to feel that the house was stuffy.

Looking back blankly, Fu Heng was not there, only Feng Shunyu was sitting on the edge of the bed reading a book, wearing a loose white silk shirt and trousers, and the green hairpin was curled with black hair, listening to the movement, and squinted towards him.

It's been a long time since I've been in a nightmare! With a hoarse throat and smoking, he got out of bed looking for his shoes, went to the table and poured a bowl of herbal tea, and drank it all.

When Shun Yu was reading the book, he saw Feng Shuanglin sweating profusely on the bed, humming in his mouth, looking very sad.

Seeing him eat good tea and wash his face, he was silent for a while before he spoke: "Yongting, I have something for you." ”

"Don't!" Feng Shuanglin's tone was firm, he refused, he was useless, he was not a person who loved to take advantage of others.

Shun Yu pursed her lips, picked up a bulging brocade baggage, and threw it at him: "If you don't want to, just throw it away, I'm useless left and right." ”

Feng Shuanglin caught it off guard, and when he heard this, he was quite puzzled, untied the tie with one hand, and suddenly his face turned pale, his eyes looked at her like a needle, and he paused word by word: "What is this?" ”

"My uncle is the envoy of the Tai Hospital, and he knows how the eunuchs in the palace get rid of the smell on his body, if you still want to take the entrance examination, you have to hide the secret!" Shun Yu said lightly: "I respect your knowledge and talent, and I don't want to expose you, but I don't want to be sat by you." Now that there are prisoners in Chengxin Hall who are suspicious of Yongting, this cushion can solve your worries, so you don't need to take care of it yourself! ”

Feng Shuanglin felt that there seemed to be something choked in his throat, bitter and unpalatable, and looked down at the shameful cushion, using an easily absorbable cotton cloth, sewn very strong and neat, shallow and cold fragrance and snort, and heard Shun Yu say: "I don't have any kindness, I won't sew it for you in vain, fifty pieces of one tael of silver, no two prices." ”

Feng Shuanglin was stunned, looking at her somewhat tricky face, his heart suddenly relaxed, he was so afraid, Second Master Shen would shelter him from the wind and rain.

"You can collect more money than Xiong Fang, you are." He asked calmly: "Although you and I are classmates, the relationship is average, why do you take the risk to hide it for me?" ”

Feng Shuanglin's fate in his previous life was not ordinary. He was previously sent by Shen Zetang to serve in the palace of King Hao, and then went to the top of the imperial examination high school, Wen Tao and Wu are all proficient, even if his identity was exposed, he was promoted to the master of ceremonies in the palace, and became the key chess of the rebellion of King Hao Zhu Yi, and then, he did something more grandiose, and Shun Yu was really convinced of him.

"You and I will always be officials in the same court, if one day I am involved in life and death, I just hope you can pull me." Shun Yu said lightly, he didn't hear Feng Shuanglin agree, but it was also expected, so he smiled and never mentioned it again.

....................

At noon, the yamen of the ministry came to the rare guest.

Xu Bingyong sat on the hexagonal armchair of Huanghuali and lifted the lid of the tea cup, but when he saw that the tea soup was steaming and fragrant, he took a bite and said with a smile: "How does Changqing know that I love this Qiyun melon slice the most?" It is also a good product produced by the bat cave of Qiyun Mountain. ”

"Who doesn't know about Xu Ge's hobby?" Shen Zetang was blunt, and also playfully said: "I also heard that the elder of the pavilion has been very interesting from Wang Mei'er recently? “

Xu Bingyong paused, put down the tea cup in his hand, and said with contempt: "It's just a prostitute of the teaching department, what is there to say!" You can also go to her for fun, but she is a good character. “

Shen Zetang smiled and said nothing, Xu Bingyong seemed to say casually: "Do you have an eyebrow for the candidate for the right waiter of the Ministry of Industry?" “

"Ding Shangshu asked Jia Wanli, a foreign officer, to be appointed as the right waiter, and I pressed him down." Shen Zetang replied.

Xu Bingyong let out an "oh", and looked at him with blazing eyes: "Jia Wanli is your proud protégé, and his character must be as good as if you pressed it, and it should be more comfortable to use." “

Shen Zetang secretly thought that he was well-informed, and even this was clear, and his face did not change: "It is precisely because I am a student that I know him better, and his character is undoubted, and his talent is not enough for this position. “

Xu Bingyong smiled lightly: "Knowing that you have a clean character and live up to my expectations, what do you think now?" This position will not be vacant for a long time. ”

Shen Zetang also smiled: "When Elder Xu Ge was serving as a sacrificial wine in the Guozi Prison, he praised a student, his name is Qin Yanzhao, I don't know if you still have an impression?" ”

Xu Bingyong frowned and pondered, and his expression suddenly changed for a while: "No, it's the eldest son of the envoy of the Qin Academy." There are some talents in the belly, and I heard that I was awarded an official position, and now I am also serving the imperial court. How do you mention him in a proper manner? ”

Shen Zetang said calmly: "This Qin Yanzhao was originally a member of the Ministry of Works, and he has been supervising water conservancy for several years, and he has made quite a difference. Now it is the rainy season, the Yellow River disaster at this time of the year, for the emperor and hundreds of officials the most headache, I occasionally heard his views on river control is not bad, so I dared to promise him, if you can solve the flood, that is, to entrust him with the right attendant of the Ministry of Works. ”

After a pause, he smiled slightly: "Besides, he is a student of Xu Ge Lao, so he must not be able to go anywhere." ”

Xu Bingyong originally wanted to accept the officials of the Ministry of Industry and use it for his own use, but now he heard Shen Zetang's sincere words, thinking that Qin Yanzhao was a student of his own, and he just fell into his mind, so he was very satisfied, looked around the hall, and said happily: "How can you still paint when Tian Qihui was there, and after a few years, you can let the Ministry of Industry send some craftsmen to whitewash it again, don't be too cold." ”
