Chapter II

"Third cousin!" In the end, he was sick, and his voice became more and more lazy.

Before Qin Zhong had taken away the six-legged stool he was sitting on, Qin Yanzhao lifted his robe, sat down, raised his eyes to meet Shun Yu's four eyes, and asked silently, "Why are your eyes red?" ”

"Sick." He replied quickly, turning his head not to let him see clearly.

T is not honest! Qin Yanzhao squeezed the corners of her mouth, looking at her little face sideways, her eyelashes were wet and pinched, her eyes were red and swollen like two peaches, and she looked like she had cried.

As if his heart had been grasped and released, he raised his sleeve slightly, took out a sachet from it and threw it to her.

Shun Yu took it suspiciously, and saw that the embroidered surface was a magpie climbing a branch, exuding the fragrance of plum cakes.

It was originally the sachet that Jian Yun gave her during the Lantern Festival, but she lost it, who knew that it was picked up by Qin Yanzhao.

"This is sewn by the fifth sister Jian Yun, you can pay her back on my behalf." It was an eventful time, and she didn't want to be bored anymore.

"Jianyun Xinyi, it's useless for you to keep it." Qin Yanzhao said slowly, rarely calm, and said: "Father's words are quite reasonable, your temperament is too strong, not suitable for officialdom and power, you may not be rich and wealthy when you return to Suzhou, but you can live comfortably, which is not a blessing." "What's more, you're still a guilty girl!

Shun Yu rubbed the undulating patterns on the sachet, and asked a little absent-mindedly: "If you were asked to abandon fame and fortune, go to a border town to take an idle job, and live a frugal and hard life, would you be willing?" ”

"Do you think I'll be willing?" Qin Yanzhao's eyes were dark, and her expression was instantly cold, the meaning of her words was incomprehensible, could it be ........?

"How would I know!" Shun Yu shook his head and smiled indifferently: "Things in the world are really strange, it's easy to say that people are reasonable, but it is their own body, but they always can't see through it, they can't see through it, and they can't pull it out when they get into the tip of the horns." ”

"Whether you can see through it or not, whether you can see through it or not......" His words were incomprehensible and obscure: "It's good to always be alive, and what else can it be!" ”

In his previous life, Qin Yanzhao took his wife and children to the bitter cold land of the border pass, and he was drunk and lying in the wine shop and tea shop all day long, and he heard that the woman who killed him in the room was noble and compelling in the palace, and he hated and angered; When he heard that the emperor was imprisoned with her, he gloated; When he heard that she had died suddenly, he .......

It was the twenty-ninth day of the lunar month, and the snow was falling all over the sky, Qin Yanzhao sat in the courtyard in a daze, and it was cold inside and out.

........

The files of the Hanlin University Examination were stacked in front of Shen Zetang's book case at this moment, and Wu Pu, the secretary of the industry, was invited to have tea in the outer hall, and he was patiently waiting for Lord Shen's approval, and the list of prisoners who entered the national prison could be finalized.

Feng Shuanglin, Cui Zhongxian and Xu Lan's examination papers Shen Zetang has read them carefully, read the sacrificial wine Song Mu approved it as excellent, and handed it to Xu Jing with a smile: "You also take a look, how is the article?" ”

Xu Jing took it, glanced at ten lines, and said in a long time: "Feng Shuanglin's best work, the meaning of the text is rooted in the topic, the measures are similar to the policy, the theory is like the theory, the material is like Fubo, the law is like poetry, and it is a rare splendid chapter." ”

Seeing Shen Erye's jaw, he took out Cui Zhongxian's offering: "This Goryeo brother-in-law of King Hao is also familiar with the Four Books and Five Classics, and his grammar is clear and beautiful, which is better than most of the Confucian students in my dynasty." ”

Shen Zetang smiled: "Don't underestimate him, he has been a proton in my dynasty since he was a child, raised in the mansion of Chang Yanheng, the Duke of Wei, and is running in the Shili hairpin clan all day long, and where can he be inferior." ”

Xu Jing felt reasonable, handed over Xu Lan's volume, and praised again and again: "Liang Guogong is a three-generation military general, and my dynasty is a general, I never thought that the children are also full of economy, and they understand etiquette, although the article is not as good as the first two, but it should be a rare generation among the martial arts, and it will become atmospheric in the future." ”

"I met him in the big exam that day, he was great and heroic, and I heard that he was good at swords, guns, riding and shooting, although he was young, he was famous." Shen Zetang slowly replied to him while signing with vermilion: "Song Mu is very picky, and he can't complain about giving one excellent grade every year, and this trip will give three people an excellent ........" ”

Suddenly, she paused, frowned at the exam papers in front of her, and suddenly pursed the corners of her mouth again, looking angry and funny.

It is not easy for Shen Erye, who can make the sky fall and not change his face, with such a look, Xu Jing was very surprised, he shook his side and stretched his neck to look, but he was taken aback: "When will the prince come here to join in the fun?" ”

Seeing that Song Mu didn't know whether he was alive or dead, he only asked: "Is this old Song Mu too long?" ”

Shen Zetang looked at him with a smile, shook his head and said, "It's not easy to deceive you, this is not the prince's handwriting." Song Mu was right, the candidate went off topic to the horizon, and I was too high for the fourth class. ”

Xu Jing carefully measured the font, sighed and was difficult to distinguish, and looked at the blank space of the volume with a few lines of small orders, it was a distraught work, the word was wild grass, it was still charming and beautiful, and read with interest: "The treasure is in the mountains, mistaken at the water's edge, the mountain covers the canopy hall, the ridge curves the eaves tip, and the beast stands on the top of the tree. ”

Reading this, he knew why Shen Erfang had that expression.

After pondering for a while, he couldn't help laughing: "It must be based on the theme of treasure in the mountains, but it is written to the water's edge, and it is strange if he does not fall to death." It's so much fun! I can't help but praise: "Whether it's off topic or not, but it's brilliant in writing, if you make good use of it, you will definitely be a character in the future, and it's a pity to send it back to your hometown like this." ”

Shen Zetang doesn't know! He stared at the ink on the roll with the name of Feng Shunyu, and even Xu Jing recognized the wrong ink, with the prince's sensitive and conceited nature, it was not necessarily a good thing. What's more, he has returned Qin Zhong's affection, so there is no need to worry about an irrelevant little show.

"Song Mu is an old scholar, and he should be represented by scholars, and his criticism of the fourth class is the fourth class." Shen Zetang signed it, ignored it one by one, and put aside the examinee papers on the side.

It wasn't until two minutes later that the personal guard Shen Huan came in with a food basket, and Shen Zetang finished reviewing the last volume.

put down the pen and ordered Xu Jing to roll the exam paper into a cylinder, seal it and hand it to Wu Pu, while he squinted slightly and rubbed his eyebrows slowly.

Shen Huan took out the letterhead from his arms first.

handed it over and said: "What the old lady asked her subordinates to bring to the second master is the obituary on the house of Lord Zhou, the secretary of the Criminal Department, and her eldest son Zhou Hai is gone." ”

"Gone?" Shen Zetang suddenly remembered that a few days ago, Xu Jing had mentioned it to him.

raised his hand to take the obituary, opened it and looked at it carefully, and sure enough, ten days had passed since Zhou Hai's funeral.

He has not returned to his home these days, and he is entangled in official affairs in the court, but he has neglected this matter.

Shen Huan took advantage of the letter when he read the letter, opened the lid of the food, took out the dishes, chopsticks and chopsticks on the table, and brought out a plate of scalded white flour pancakes, a plate of cooked beef, and a large bowl of ham and shrimp balls and fresh soup.

Xu Jing smelled the fragrance and looked at it, his hands kept moving, and he gasped and sniffed: "The chef Liu is in charge, but he has returned to his hometown to worship his ancestors?" He is the only one who makes good northern pasta. ”

Shen Huan smiled and nodded, Shen Zetang pondered for a moment, and looked up at Xu Jing: "After dinner, you back up the gift and go to Zhou Shangshu Mansion with me!" ”

Xu Jing received the order, hurriedly walked towards the outer hall with a roll in his hand, and handed it to Wu Pu without mentioning it.
