Chapter 2 Enter the Temple of Confucius

Shen Zetang sighed: "Elder Ge felt surprised, and I was puzzled. The first impeachment of Guo Jia for corruption and fraud was drafted by Zhao De, who participated in politics left and right. He came to the Ministry of Officials, borrowed Guo Jia's resume and official book, and when he returned, this please name book was actually sandwiched in the official book. ”

After a pause, he said: "I will hold this book unfinished, and now I will hand it over to the elder of the pavilion for disposal, as for whether Zhao De is appointed as the right attendant of the household department, I have no objection." “

"What do you think Zhao De should explain for this?" Xu Bingyong's eyebrows were furrowed, the corners of his mouth were tightly drooping, and his face was full of anger.

Shen Zetang shook his head and said lightly: "Maybe it's negligent for a while, and it's uncertain to make mistakes." Ge Lao knew that Shen didn't like to do much, so he didn't speculate. “

Xu Bingyong's eyes were like hooks, and he looked at him fixedly for a long time, then suddenly shook his head and smiled: "This Manchu Dynasty civil and military, I can replace me in the future, I am most optimistic about you!" It's a pity that your temperament is too gentle, this has to be changed, otherwise, it will grow into a stumbling block to your career. The words are heart-to-heart, and they seem to know each other very well.

Shen Zetang's expression was calm, he smiled but did not speak, and sent him on the eight-lift sedan chair, creaking away.

Turning around and slowly walking down the white marble steps, the cool rain swept lightly, and a few swallows were oblique in the fog, making them feel a lot more relaxed.

Shen Huan came over to hold the umbrella for him, Xu Jing wanted to ask and swallowed, only glanced at his face worriedly, but he couldn't see a trace of abnormality.

I sighed inexplicably, I was very tired of being such a person's staff!

"What are you sighing for?" Shen Zetang glanced at him, and the corners of his mouth twitched imperceptibly.

See, he's still going to ask, and he's going to ask you to answer.

"On the court this time, can Second Master Shen go well?" Xu Jing asked boldly.

"Hmm!" Shen Zetang answered, and at this time, he found that he was in a good mood.

Xu Jing's heart finally fell to the ground, and he also smiled: "Will Elder Xu Ge still let Zhao De be the right attendant of the household department?" Will he believe the words of the second master? ”

Shen Zetang was noncommittal: "If you have doubts in your heart, whether you believe it or not, he will not reuse this person." ”

"What is the theory of the second master and Xia Wanchun's daughter Xia Yan?"

Hearing Xu Jing's question, Shen Zetang pursed his lips and said in a low voice: "The prince is not determined enough, which shows that he really likes Xia Yan." The reason I found was right for him, and we were both happy! ”

After thinking about it, I added: "Xu Ge Lao is naturally excepted." “

All three smiled knowingly.

After noon, when he arrived in front of the yamen of the ministry, the rain gradually stopped, Shen Zetang groaned and told Shen Huan: "Let Guo Jia pretend to be crazy without using too much force, but he can't stop, Xu Bingyong is quite suspicious, and he will wait for the right attendant of the household department to be in place, and the matter will be over, and at that time, let him leave the capital with his family, and he will no longer have to pretend to be crazy and stupid." ”

Shen Huan should accept it, put away the green cloth oil umbrella, and left without mentioning it.

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

Shun Yu heard the sound of pushing the door, raised his eyes and was stunned, it was Xu Lan, and asked him what was the matter, it turned out to be looking for Feng Shuanglin.

Then he smiled and told him that Feng Shuanglin would go to the bathroom to wash up, and he would come back in a while, and let him sit and wait for a while.

But seeing that Xu Lan was cold and indifferent, ignoring people, but he was also interested, no longer silent, and hung his head to read.

Xu Lan was bored, so she simply wiped the sword leisurely, and the cold white light of the sword body flashed, reflecting the shadow of the little girl.

But I saw him leaning on the bed and reading a book, not wearing a square scarf, curling his hair casually with a long dark green hairpin, wearing a water-blue brocade shirt on his upper body, and two legs of white cloth trousers, swinging outside the edge of the bed, with trouser legs scattered, and a pair of cigarette green shoes, which were loose and could not be dropped, revealing extremely soft ankles and white feet like jade.

Suddenly suffocated in his heart, he felt that he was a little out of breath, this little sissy really can't watch more, and if he sees too much, he forgets whether he is a man or a woman.

"My Xu Lan's body is affected by the skin, how can I fly male and become female!" The oath is still sonorous, and he can't mess with his heart.

Coincidentally, Feng Shuanglin came in after washing up with a basin, and when he saw him, he asked with a smile: "When did you come?" How long have you waited? “

"Soon!" Xu Lan replied vaguely, put the sword in his hand into the sheath, stood up and said, "I'll wait for you outside." ”

He didn't go out the door.

Feng Shuanglin was a little puzzled, seeing that Shun Yu retracted his legs to the bed, took a light and thin mattress on his lap, adjusted his posture and continued to read, there was nothing unusual.

Then he picked up the cultural relics box, walked to the door and turned back and said calmly: "I'm not here tonight, don't leave the door for me." ”

Shun Yu looked up in surprise, but saw Feng Shuanglin's shadow flickering out of the door.

It is rare that this noble son is willing to open the golden mouth, she has a smile on her face, jumps off the bed, goes to lock the door first, and wants to go to the Confucian Temple with Ouyang Xu at night to worship, pull out the cage, rummage through the clothes to be changed, and find a set of black clothes and pants, she can't help but be stunned, and she can't remember when it was sewn.

When Fu Heng returned to the house, he saw Shun Yu dressed in black clothes and black pants, and he was just covered with a black scarf on his face, and he couldn't help but smile for a long time: "Are you going to be a thief?" ”

Shun Yu didn't think it was funny, what was the difference between going to the Confucian Temple to worship and being a thief. The same secret model, the same concealment.

In case of bad luck and danger, it is easiest to hide and escape in black, which is the best strategy.

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

The night is dark and the wind is high, and the rain is dripping down to the ugly time, only then there is a tendency to stop, there is no bright moon, and a dusk butter lamp is hung on the pillar next to the well pavilion, which is to prevent the chef from coming to carry water, and the road can not be seen clearly.

After Ouyang Bin and a few others arrived as promised, they were stunned when they saw Shun Yu dressed, but they didn't say anything, and walked towards the door of Jing Ji quickly and quickly with a silent movement.

Hold in front of the door.

An old locust tree, an oil lamp, a night watchman, eating a pot of wine.

It seems that he is drunk, the tip of his nose is red, his eyes are confused, his head is like pecking rice, little by little, he fell asleep in a daze.

Before he came to his side, one leg had been rested in front of them, and Shun Yuxin raised his throat and looked at Ouyang Bin.

Ouyang Bin was not in a hurry, he was very calm, took out a bunch of money from his sleeve cage and threw it into his arms.

The night watchman caught it very steadily, checked it, and finally opened his mouth, his voice hoarse and muddy: "Half an hour." ”

Ouyang Bin nodded, turned around and waved at them, and the group hurriedly crossed the threshold of the Jingzhi Gate.

Going east from the Jingzhi Gate and entering the Dacheng Gate, Ouyang Bin was only allowed to light two lanterns and go straight all the way in a daze.

Because it was a moonless rainy night, it was really quiet and desolate here, Shun Yu looked around while walking, rows of stele pavilions, standing silently, only listening to the wind blowing through the whistle, the branches of the trees swaying on the stele pavilion, crackling and peeling, at first glance, it seemed that clusters of figures were hiding there.

Her scalp was numb for a while, and no matter how bold Rao was, she was still a little afraid.
