"Move the yard?" Song Zhi held the spoon in his hand, and the golden jade tofu soup in the spoon was sprinkled, wetting the crystalline rice.

Song Ling grabbed a chopstick and tore the chicken, and said to Song Zhi: "Well, move to the painting style in the outer courtyard, which is quiet, close to my study, and has a small kitchen." Besides, the age when I moved the yard was one year older than Ru'er. ”

"Then move back next year." Song Zhi thought that Song Ling didn't want Ru'er to live by his side, so he felt a little uncomfortable, and he also brought a little bit in his tone.

Song Ling stared at Song Zhi for a while, there seemed to be a little heartache in her eyes, which only made Song Zhi feel that she had said the wrong thing and done something wrong.

Shen Baiyan coughed lightly and said, "Childish, Ruohui should have other considerations. ”

Song Ling looked away, but the words in her mouth were said to Song Zhi, "My mother rewarded me with a maid to be my aunt the day before yesterday, and I entered the courtyard in front of Confucianism. There is a miasma of smoke in our courtyard now, if you don't tell Ru'er to stay away from these rights and wrongs earlier, how can he study with peace of mind? ”

Song Zhi knew that he had misunderstood Song Ling, and said a little embarrassedly: "Brother is thoughtful, I'm just afraid that Ru'er will live in the outer courtyard, and the subordinates will not take good care of him." ”

"I am now in the outer court more than in the inner court, how can I make people snub Ru'er?" Song Ling said.

Song Zhi nodded and said, "Did my brother find Mr. Kaimeng for Ru'er?" The gentleman in my house has a very good impression of Confucianism, so why don't I ask him to change the start of school from morning to afternoon, so that Confucianism can come to the palace to study. ”

"No, I've already pleased." Song Ling looked at Shen Baiyan and said, "Jing Yu, do you remember Li Youshen?" ”

Shen Baiyan has a good memory, which can be called unforgettable, he thought for a while, and said, "Li Youshen? Is it the fifth generation of the former dynasty Zai Fushu? I remember that his veins seem to be sick seedlings. ”

"Yes, that's him. The Li family is becoming more and more lonely now, he is from a side branch, and the situation is even more embarrassing, and he actually came to the door last month, saying that he wanted to find a decent errand. Song Ling said to Shen Baiyan.

Both of them knew this Li Youshen, who was mediocre in appearance, thin and thin like a girl, but he was brilliant in writing and knowledgeable, and even Mrs. Lin was full of praise for his articles. It's a pity that his ancestors were martyred, and he was quite loyal to the previous dynasty, and his family blood was linked to the royal family of the previous dynasty.

If a scholar can't get in, it can be said to be a lifelong regret.

"Li Youshen is really poor and destitute to such a point? I remember that his wife was from the Ouyang family, who was doing business in Quzhou, and I heard that the wealth was powerful and powerful, and the rich party was a party. Shen Baiyan recalled.

Song Ling shook his head and said, "No matter how much you earn, you can't lose as fast as a loser." Since the head of the Ouyang family held on and married his daughter, he passed away. After going, none of Ouyang's brothers became successful, and the business was taken away by others, but fortunately there were still some savings, but who knew that this loser gave birth to a loser again, and asked someone to set up a bureau, and pressed his handprints in a daze, owed hundreds of thousands of taels to others, and even took back Ouyang's dowry, which saved the lives of her two nephews. ”

"I remember that Li Youshen is quite lonely, in the past, when his mother was there, he married this Ouyang family in order to make her dowry, and Li Youshen also had a trouble." Song Zhi interjected.

"Li Youshen is still a little different age from you, how do you know so clearly?" Shen Baiyan suddenly asked.

Song Zhi laughed helplessly and said: "I remember when I was a child, I went to a banquet with my mother, and I saw a beautiful woman standing alone on the side of the rockery, incompatible with everyone, and I felt curious at that time. After listening to the gossip of the women, he was quite disdainful of it, thinking that it was from the Shangjia family, and later learned that this person was Ouyang's family. ”

"I see, I don't know about it. However, when I heard him talk about Ouyang's family, he was full of distress, saying that he came to ask for a bad job, so that he didn't have to ask the lady to embroider a handkerchief hidden in the boudoir, and then asked the maid to cover her face and take the handkerchief to the embroidery village to sell it on consignment. Song Ling said.

"Why did this man ask for your brother's door?" Song Zhi was puzzled, Li Youshen had a sensitive background after all, which made people have to think about it.

"Li Youshen's father has some friendship with our father, when I was five or six years old, he seemed to be in his teens, and he also took me to catch crickets, but his friendship faded after his father went, you were still in your mother's belly at that time, naturally you didn't know." Song Ling said.

Song Zhi nodded, since it was an old friend who asked for the door, with Song Ling's temperament, he would naturally accept it, and with this Li Youshen's talent, it would be really condescending to be an enlightened gentleman to Ru'er.

The matter was agreed, and the three of them stopped mentioning it.

"Are you two really going to the Northland?" Song Ling thought that this matter was just wishful thinking on the part of the palace, but yesterday she heard about it from her subordinates, and it seemed that the news that the regent and his wife were going to the northern country had spread.

"Now it's ready to fly, and I have to send it." Song Zhi fiddled with a green bean and said boringly.

Song Ling and Shen Baiyan glanced at each other, and Shen Baiyan said: "Yesterday, the emperor sent someone to invite Zhi'er into the palace, saying that he wanted the two of us to have a smooth journey, and gave us a team of two hundred people, and even gave the waist card. ”

Yesterday, she just sent away Ru'er, and the palace sent a sedan chair to invite her into the palace, and the person who came was obviously the person next to the Empress Dowager Jia'an, but the sedan chair sent her all the way to the imperial study, and the person who opened the curtain and came out was the owner of the imperial study, Shen Rui.

Shen Rui still looks like a teenager, but his jaw is getting more and more square, and he is taller than Song Zhi, when he stands face to face with Song Zhi, he can block Song Zhi's whole person tightly.

In the past, I thought that Shen Rui looked more like the Queen Mother, so he was a bit like Shen Baiyan, but now that I look at it, that sense of similarity is gone.

Song Zhi answered: "The day of departure has also been set, which is on the fifth day of the next month, and it is said that it is a good day for all things to be auspicious." ”

"The emperor is now decisive, and the court is more and more appreciative of it. Song Ling said to Shen Baiyan.

"I'm afraid I will hand it over, and he won't be able to catch it." If an unfamiliar person hears Shen Baiyan's words, they still think that he is a rampant person, but in fact, in Shen Baiyan's own opinion, he is just telling the truth.

Song Zhi didn't speak, it seemed that as soon as he spoke, the worry in his heart would leak out, the three of them moved to the flower hall and sit, Meteor served the tea to eliminate food, Song Zhi took a sip, only felt that today's tea was not as sweet as before.

"Yuxinlou, there was a fire last night." Shen Baiyan didn't open his mouth, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he almost made Song Ling choke.

"Ahem, are you heartfelt? Ahem, can't you wait until I'm done drinking? Song Ling patted his chest and said.

Last night, Su Shui came to look for Shen Baiyan in the middle of the night, with a breath of burning scorched wood, Shen Baiyan went out with her, and came back at dawn, Song Zhi also didn't sleep all night, until Shen Baiyan returned, and the husband and wife slept together for two hours.

"What happened to your men? No, was it accidental or man-made? If it's an accident, forget it, if it's man-made, it's impossible, you have so many secret guards, all of them are good at martial arts, and you can still make people set fire? ”

Song Ling's mind was a mess, the prime minister didn't have a clue, seeing that Shen Baiyan and Song Zhi only looked at themselves and didn't say a word, Song Ling was even more puzzled, and suddenly had a flash of inspiration, blurted out, and said, "Should you do it on purpose?" ”

Shen Baiyan bowed his head and said, "Su Shui found many corpses overnight, burned them in the fire, and pretended to be a secret guard. He also inspected the fire overnight. Although there are embers in the place where the texts are hidden, the number of embers is greatly insufficient compared to the texts. It shows that someone stole the book in advance and then set it on fire. ”

Song Ling frowned and said, "This is also too inferior, Yu Xinlou and the old prince have been in charge of the secret history of hundreds of officials since their generation, and the first emperor has never been so jealous." ”

"Yu Xinlou's existence is not a secret, I have expected that this kid is ruthless, and I also wanted to withdraw Yu Xinlou, but I didn't expect him to be so uncontrollable, this fire has found a good reason for me." Shen Baiyan said coldly.

"And what about your men?" Song Ling asked.

Song Zhi replied for Shen Baiyan: "Most of them have long been out of the capital, and now only water chestnut, Sushui, and Feilan are in the capital. ”

Song Ling said worriedly: "Isn't that self-inflicted damage?" These few hands and feet in the palace have the intention of breaking your foundation, and the 200 people who followed you on the road may harm your two lives. ”

Shen Baiyan and Song Zhi glanced at each other and said, "Therefore, I called you here today, and I entrust you with other life-threatening matters." ”

Song Ling was stunned for a moment, and whispered: "Could it be a way out?" ”

Shaded by greenery outside the window of the flower hall, the meteor is guarding the door, waiting for the instructions inside, thinking about today's dinner.

Man'er was taking a nap, she didn't sleep very well, only felt that the back of her neck was itchy, and she involuntarily reached out and scratched it in her sleep, she turned over, revealing the back of her neck covered with red rashes.

Si Cha and Si Hua were embroidering handkerchiefs outside, and a cup of horseshoe wolfberry soup was stewed on the small stove on the side, and the two were talking quietly, and suddenly they didn't know what interesting things they said, and they laughed silently, looking like the sky was very good.

Si Jiu was guarding the door, there was no green shade to shade, and she was so scorched by the sun that dense beads of sweat had appeared on her forehead, she glanced at the two big girls who were chatting and laughing in the room, and turned her face away with disdain.

Everything still seems so calm and beautiful, but there are already waves behind it, and these calms are about to disappear.

Si Jiu was still standing, and suddenly saw Si Cha trotting out of the back room and going straight to the main courtyard, and Si Hua also rushed out and said to her: "Si Jiu, you go to watch the princess, I will go to invite Dr. Wu." ”

Si Jiu walked into the room with a trace of doubt, and saw that Man'er was humming uncomfortably, and her fair and tender neck was already full of red spots, she couldn't help but feel a shock in her heart, and a sense of panic swallowed her like a huge wave.
