Chapter 43 The Invitation to the Prince's Mansion

Later, Zhao Huanting really responded to Qi Shu, replaced the pair of words, and hung another painting.

Although the onlookers were a little confused, this is their own tavern, so people love it.

This little thing was calmed down like the corner of the woman's skirt being raised by the wind and being quickly pounced on, after all, there were many people in Shaoliang City who didn't want Qi Shu to be too dazzling.

But even so, Qi Shu still received a number of posts.

After coming out of the Twilight Tavern, Qi Shu went home, planning how to deal with the post. I don't have time to take care of other things, and I don't want to take care of them.

After the beginning of spring, the court also returned to normal order, and the ministers went up and down on time to perform their duties. His Majesty gave Qi Shangshu a new messenger, which made him so busy that he didn't even touch the ground with his family. The Qi family seems to be the most leisurely Qi Shu, after all, they have raised a sign of Qingming County Lord.

Naturally, you can't lose etiquette when you go to the Liuguo Mansion, but what makes Qi Shu sad is how to face Liu Ruofeng, after all, he is the youngest son of the Guogong Mansion, and he blocked the road and robbed the silver, isn't it equivalent to charity in the eyes of some people?

If Guogong knew about it, I don't know if he would have an opinion on her, this is the only thing she remembers intersecting with Guogong Mansion, and if she is asked about it when she goes, wouldn't it be embarrassing?

The people around him didn't know the twists and turns that Qi Shu thought, they only knew if their young lady had encountered something and suddenly became very melancholy? Standing on the windowsill of the room every day, sighing at the green bamboo outside.

Green Tangerine told her more than once not to sigh at the bamboo, so that the bamboo would not grow tall, but Qi Shu just gave her a faint sad look, and then Green Tangerine didn't dare to stare at Qi Shu anymore.

Everyone is wondering what makes Qi Shu so depressed, but there is nothing wrong with following Miss's daily behavior? Or do you simply don't want to go to the meeting? It's really not good, just call it sick and don't go.

Qi Shu knew in her heart that when her father forwarded the post to her, she had already decided that she must and must go, and it was not something she could not go by pretending to be sick. Moreover, Liu Guogong is someone she respects and admires, how can she not go?

The days of such dark clouds finally ended on the day Qi Shu went out of the house to attend the meeting.

On this morning, after Qi Shu got up in the morning, he called the maid to prepare the carriage and set off for the Guogong Mansion.

The days of February fly by, and the peach blossoms begin to bloom in March. Qi Shu went to the Liuguo Mansion and did not take the green orange with her, leaving her in the room to sort out the clothes for the change of seasons and sort out the bedding to dry.

Green orange also knows that today is going to the Guogong Mansion, it is not appropriate to take a lot of people there, not to mention that Mozhu is more stable than her, and it is normal to take Mozhu to go, in case he shows his timidity, isn't it a shame for the young lady? After thinking about this, her mood became cheerful, and she hoped that the young lady would be in a dark mood when she came back from the Guogong Mansion.

I don't understand, is the Guogong Mansion really that terrible?

Yes, the Guogong Mansion is not scary, not scary, not scary, not scary......

Qi Shu, who was comforting himself so repeatedly, sat in the carriage and kept chattering, and Mo Zhu, who was watching next to him, couldn't help but laugh, is it so terrifying? As for being scared like this?

"Miss, is this Liu Guogong really that powerful? Are you afraid of him? Mo Zhu tried to soothe Qi Shu's somewhat restless mood.

Qi Shu took a deep breath and said, "You don't know? "About the respected Liu Guogong, the three-year-old children in Shaoliang City know it.

"Miss, I didn't grow up in Kyoto." Mozhu smiled.

"The status of Liu Guogong among civil officials is equivalent to the status of the old prince Ji Ci among military attachΓ©s, and these two people are important figures who assisted the empress in laying the foundation of the country after the first empress unified the Wei State, and they are the pillars of the Wei State.

Liu Guogong has a wide range of talents, both virtue and conduct, and has won the respect and love of students all over the world, and his books and speeches have been widely disseminated.

His two major achievements are the most praised, one is to simplify and revise the Wei script and implement it well, although the current Wei script is different from other countries, but it is not so difficult to use, and the exchanges with other countries have increased a lot.

The second is to set up the imperial examination system together with other civil officials, and set up the current examination system. Qi Shu turned his head sideways and looked at Mozhu, who was listening carefully and carefully.

"I know, miss, I just didn't expect Liu Guogong to be such a character, but civilians like me won't come into contact with it, right?"

Qi Shu felt quite interesting when he heard this, pursed his lips and thought for a while and said: "Not really, it's just that the circumstances are different, and the people you meet are naturally different, so you don't have to be attached to this." ”

"Yes, Miss, so Miss is worried about seeing Liu Guogong's poor performance?"

Speaking of this, he was very anxious, Qi Shu paused as if frost had beaten an eggplant.

"Mozhu, do you know that once when I went out, I met the youngest son of the Liu Guogong family, Liu Ruofeng."

"Huh? So what's wrong with Miss? ”

"He stopped me and asked me for money, so I asked my servant to give him a bag of silver, and then he left."

"This, I'm afraid it's inappropriate, right?"

"Yes, I inquired later, this Liu Guogong's youngest son belongs to the old man, the late Guogong gave birth to him at an advanced age, and later died when Liu Ruofeng was a few years old, so he gets more care than others, and his temperament is also a little pampered."

After a pause, Qi Shu lowered his head and said weakly: "Yes, and he didn't want me to give him the fortress later, I knew that I wouldn't do it at that time, I really regret it." ”

Mo Zhu thought for a while: "Miss is not too worried, what if the little boy Liu Ruofeng has already forgotten about this matter?" ”

Qi Shu's head couldn't be lowered.

Poof, looking at such a young lady, Mo Zhu couldn't help laughing anymore.

Perhaps, she herself also cherishes this kind of mood, no matter how many people she meets, no matter how many things she meets, she is calm and calm, but if she meets someone who is special to her, she will become like Qi Shu.

The Liuguo Mansion was personally ordered by His Majesty to supervise the construction, which is enough to see His Majesty's attention to the Guogong, this Guogong Mansion occupies a large area, located in the northwest of Shaoliang City, and is not too far from the Qi Shangshu Mansion. The palace gate has a main gate and two sides of the door, like Qi Shu generally go through the side door, and the main gate is for the emperor.

The huge plaque of the Guogong Mansion is gilded on a black background, and the edge is magnificent. Because the Guogong Mansion is very *, the neighbor doll next to it also does not dare to play in front of the Guogong Mansion, although the pair of mighty and domineering stone lions at the door are very fond of it, but they don't dare to reach out and touch it.

Just standing in front of the house gate is not enough to get a glimpse of the whole picture, the people who have been in the tour come out and you have a description of my words, can not be detailed, so someone specially mentioned a poem to describe the magnificent scene inside: the mountain and the water are built to be fine, and how much work is done to build the beginning. The heavens and the earth are full of scenery, and Fangyuan is the famous mansion of the country. In this way, it satisfies everyone's imagination of the grand scenery in the Guogong Mansion.

Fang Cai said that after Qi Shu got off the horse, he sent Mozhu to the gate of the mansion to report, and said that Qi Shu of the Qi Shangshu Mansion came to pay a visit.

When the attendant at the door saw the Qi family's carriage coming slowly, he had already gone to inform the master.

After the death of the Duchess of Liuguo, the head of the huge Liuguo Mansion was the eldest daughter-in-law of the Duke of Guo, Xu Cuihua and Xu. The affairs of the house in the backyard are very well done, and everyone praises them. It's just that the Guogong Mansion is good in everything, but Dudu Liu Ruofeng has a bad reputation.

Qi Shu also did his homework carefully before coming to the door, so as not to be embarrassed when he came to the door.

Guogong has three sons, the eldest son Liu Ruoyun served as a waiter in the court, married the wife of the Xu family, had a son and a daughter, and the second son Liu Ruoli, served as Dali Temple, married a wife of the Li family, had a son, the third son Liu Ruofeng, fifteen years old, has not yet married a wife and has not yet made a name, in this Shaoliang City is a demon king.

Humanity is a good tree that bears three fruits, two good and one bad, and it does not lose.

Qi Shu, who was standing very tall with a straight waist, was a little out of the world, thinking about the preparations he had made at home, and replied.

After a while, the side door of the Guogong Mansion opened.

The middle-aged woman led by a few maids and women walked towards Qi Shu with a smile, only to see that this woman was wearing pearl and emerald earrings and jade ornaments, goose egg face, eyebrows, and cherry lips were as delicate and beautiful as inlaid on them, and her clothes and demeanor showed the style of a wealthy family.

Although there are traces of years on her face, she can't stop her own dignified demeanor, which makes people intuitively ignore her appearance and only feel a sense of affinity.

Qi Shu's heart was a little turbulent, since she moved into the independent Wanran Garden after she got older, her temperament has become more and more dull, she used to like to stick to her mother's side, and later she had a younger brother, her mother took good care of him, and even less took care of Qi Shu, plus her mother was the daughter of a merchant, and there was a lot of separation between her and the high-ranking ladies in Shaoliang City, so to be honest, Qi Shu really didn't interact with middle-aged women much, and there was no way to know what their temperament was.

"This is the Lord of Qingming, Qimen Shunu! Hurry up, please in the house, I am the eldest daughter-in-law of the father-in-law, and the father-in-law knows that you are very happy, so he specially asked me to hand over the post, just right, I also want to meet this woman who is full of Shaoliang. With a wave of his big hand, Xu Shi instructed his subordinates to crowd up, and brought Qi Shu into the mansion with half push and half pull.

Qi Shu didn't react, a little panic flashed on his face, and a smile flowed from the bottom of Xu's eyes when he saw it.

At that time, the prince had not yet returned, saying that he had been summoned into the palace by His Majesty to discuss affairs, and specially instructed his daughter-in-law to stay for a while.

When you enter the Guogong Mansion, you will be greeted by a huge rockery pool, and the corridors on the left and right sides separate the pavilion garden, and the fragrant rhododox grass is full of quiet and unique pavilions.

It's really scary, Xu took Qi Shu to turn left and right, or a corner of a bamboo house, or a few buildings, or a stone bridge in Qinghu, or a garden path. Qi Shu's legs were a little tired. It's just that the Guogong Mansion saw the shadow of Qingshan behind him, I'm afraid it doesn't even include Qingshan, right?

Xu Shi also noticed that Qi Shu might be tired from walking, and his face was a little dirty, so he advocated finding a Canglang Pavilion to rest, and commanded his subordinates to quickly bring tea to relieve the noise of their tongues.

"Look at me, the county lord must not know when he comes to the Guogong Mansion for the first time, this mansion is loved by His Majesty, it is really big, and the people in the mansion are used to it all year round, and the legs and feet are also neat, and it must not be like the county lord to move around, tired, right?" As he spoke, Lazishu sat down on the stone bench, and the maid had already put on the cloth mat.

The soft and boneless hands covered Qi Shu's hands, which made Qi Shu a little flattered, and he condensed and said softly: "Madame is so polite, the scenery of the Guogong Mansion is beautiful, and it is worth walking for as long as you go." ”

Looking at a lot of calmness, Xu's heart is also relaxed, who comes to the Guogong Mansion is not trembling, extremely restrained, for fear of offending them, Xu feels a headache every time he thinks about it, and he is not a man-eating tiger, which makes her sociable She can only hold it, and many gatherings that she wants to go to can not go to because of face.

"Hearing the county lord say this, I feel at ease." nodded at her, then reached out to take the tea cup handed by the maid, handed it to Qi Shu, and then took another cup to sip himself.

"The woman doesn't have to call me the county lord, just call me Qi Shu in private." Qi Shu was also embarrassed to let her elders call her county lord, as if she was oppressing, but the etiquette law could not be abolished, and she still called her cordial in private, after all, she had always had reverence for the Guogong Mansion.

"Haha, I like you like this, so how about I call you Miss Shu?"

"I want to." Qi Shu felt that this lady was dignified and very friendly, and if she didn't know people's hearts, it would be fine.

Xu Shi saw that Qi Shu had taken off his guard, and he was suddenly open-minded, and his heart was also comfortable, if only his daughter was as talented as she was, it would be good if she was knowledgeable.

While talking and laughing, a man dressed in green was trotting past in front of the Canglang Pavilion, Xu Shi saw at a glance that it was Xiaofeng, and hurriedly shouted: "Xiaofeng!" ”

A little wind? Qi Shu's eyes moved over and happened to meet the eyes he had seen, and his eyes were relatively recognizable to each other, Qi Shu was shocked!
