Min Pinghou seemed to think for a moment before he said, "Come in." ”

Shen Dangu was allowed to push the 'door' and enter.

In the inner room, Min Pinghou was not only awake, but also not on the couch at all, he was wearing a blue and blue tooth 'colored' small branch round-necked silk robe, was sitting behind the bookcase in the inner room, because he had not yet recovered, but he was impatient on the couch for a long time, barely sat up, and changed a special armchair woven with ancient rattan in front of the bookcase, at this moment Min Pinghou was leaning on the back of the chair, and his momentum had always been slightly decadent.

Shen Dangu quickly glanced at it, only to see that the bookcase in front of Min Pinghou was covered with Chengxintang paper as white as Haoxue, with a purple hao between his fingers, and the ink in the inkstone was half clear in the carp playing carp and mud, and the ink was on the inkstone.

Old and sick, now still sick, but lost momentum, under such a series of blows, Min Pinghou's 'color' is naturally much older, and his 'color' is haggard, but his demeanor is neat, his eyes are still bright, and when he saw Shen Dangu coming in, he took advantage of the situation to return the empty Zihao to the shelf, and said, "What about homework?" Take it and look at it with me. ”

Shen Dangu presented the rice paper with both hands, Min Pinghou read it carefully, closed his eyes and thought for a moment, and then said: "The person who will take the exam next year is indeed very likely to be Su Taishi according to the current point of view, he is an old minister who came over when he was the first emperor, and he has presided over the 'spring' three times, this person taught the so-called Chang'an's first talented 'daughter' like the granddaughter, and naturally he is also a person who likes elegance, so remember not to be too simple when writing in the end, and where the rhetoric should be piled up, you may wish to use more sentences, so as to get his meaning." ”

As he spoke, he mentioned a few places, "If you go down, these places will be written in more beautiful rhetoric, you are passing by like this now, although I think it is good, but Master Su must feel that your writing is too simple, and there is no bearing that he thinks the so-called Son of Heaven's 'door' should have, not to mention beating you down, it will always lower the ranking, this is a small section, and now there are still many months before the start of the exam, with your foundation and talent with a little thought." ”

This teaching is very important, each subject to take the scholar, the winner may not necessarily be higher than the loser, since ancient times, talented but not voted for the examiner's mind, so every person who falls Sun Shan has always been.

Shen Dangu lowered his hand to listen to the training, carefully recorded these words, and then said respectfully: "Yes." He was thinking about how to intercede for Zhuo Zhaojie, and he didn't want Min Pinghou to think for a moment, and said: "Your homework has always been that I don't have to 'worry about', with your talent, next year, if there is no accident, the top three should not be lost, but now the situation is different from the past, it is difficult to say." ”

"Please teach the prince." Shen Dangu heard that there was something in his words, he was slightly startled, and said busily.

Min Pinghou glanced at him deeply: "In my opinion, you are in the 'spring' of youth, you don't have to fight for this day, it is better to ask for 'sex' to go to the next subject." ”

He said, "Although I have survived this illness, I am very old, and it may not be known whether I will be alive in four years......

Shen Dangu was taken aback and said, "The prince is cautious!" ”

"You don't understand." Marquis Minping shook his head and said, "Although this time because I was in danger of being sick, it was because of the pity of the saint and the queen, and I did not lower my title, but it was the Marquis of Dunyuan who took the disaster, but Erniang has been detained in the palace so far, I don't know what will happen, it can be seen that the sacred heart is still not at ease with me, it is no wonder, I have been the prince of Zhan for many years, and I have always stood on the side of the king of Yanchang County, no one will think that I will die so easily, and I will not do something in 'private', not to mention that I am old, why not saints and queens?" Since the Holy Will has chosen the King of Zhending County, as the queen's person, it is absolutely impossible to tolerate any chance for the King of Yanchang County to override the King of Zhending...... Now this catastrophe, the Zhuo family can only be regarded as temporarily avoided, and it cannot be regarded as completely over! ”

"The prince has been sent to the office." Shen Dangu was cultivated by the Marquis of Minping, and after a deep groan, he asked tentatively, "Now that he is also sick, can the prince go to Cuiwei Mountain to live and recuperate?" ”

Min Pinghou nodded, and said indifferently: "It is natural to live in the permanent residence, but now I am still unbearable to bumps, and now the summer heat is invading, I am afraid that it will be autumn, and then go to the Cuiwei Mountain Courtyard to recuperate after the Queen Mother's Thousand Autumn Festival, after I go, I will not be able to go back to Chang'an at will, then I will close the 'door' in the other courtyard to thank the guests, so I will keep to myself, and then four years later, I will be 'sick' on the last game, at that time there was no Shi Yafeng, Fan Deyi These people compete with you, the saint has always been sympathetic to the old minister, The name of the top three is not afraid of not having your share. ”

Shen Dangu pondered for a moment and said: "Junhou, as long as I can make it to the list, I don't care if it is the top three, after all, although the new science and technology jinshi is good in name, in fact, he can't do anything immediately, after all, he has to refine his qualifications, if I am on the list three years earlier, I can share the worries of the prince three years earlier." ”

"If you really want to share my worries, you will have to wait four years." Marquis Min Ping shook his head and said, "Next year's subject is already very complicated, although it is inconvenient for the King of Yanchang County to make a move now, but how can the prince's heart really be determined by the King of the County not to know?" While the saint and the queen are still there, the king of Zhending will be busy consolidating his power and winning the hearts of the people, and there are too many people in this subject worthy of him next year, and he may not be able to take care of you, not to mention that the ranking is too low, even if the king of Zhending takes a fancy to you, it is impossible to give you too many benefits because of your ranking, after all, now the holy will has obviously flowed. Lu's intention to suppress our family, although you are not surnamed Zhuo, but in the Zhuo family over the years, you have almost been assigned to the Zhuo family to see, Zhending County King Aicai is Aicai, but he knows the general situation, he will not pity your talent but cold the hearts of another group of people.

"So it's better to win the top three names in four years, so that even if you are on the list four years later, but the ranking is much better, and you will only be crowned at that time, the most important thing is that now because I am still sick, the holy will is still sympathetic to me, and the Zhuo family's 'door' court has not yet 'revealed' the sign of decline, but it is inconvenient for you to fight, lest others think that I am unwilling and instructed behind my back, but after four years, most of the Zhuo family is already ' The door is cold, and I have been away from the court for four years, and it is human nature to ask for the favor of heaven for my children and grandchildren, and you can also let go of your hands and feet. ”

Shen Dangu lowered his head and thought for a moment, and finally nodded: "Dangu obeys." ”

Min Pinghou sighed: "I have wronged you child." "Shen and Zhuo Fangdian are both 'shrewd' people, but they are both 'female' sons, not to mention, and their 'mind' and temperament are also insufficient, and Zhuo Fangya, the young son who should have become his mother's sister's reliance, is too uncompromising, he spoils his concubine and kills his wife, Min Pinghou knows that no one in this dynasty dares to disrespect the main room is because of Queen Chunyu, the princess and the prince are not as loving as Queen Chunyu and Emperor Xianping, and the green Ji that the prince really loves is not even a child until now, and she is still an ordinary one in the East Palace. Servants' concubines, so once the new emperor ascends the throne, officials like this dynasty will not continue to be considered in the category of evaluation, how to treat the main room when employing people, and whether to accept concubines.

Zhuo Fangya is also young now...... In the opinion of Marquis Minping, he and the Gao family are not getting along, and he loves the 'Hua' clan in the outer room, if it is not for the queen's intention to consolidate his position for the king of Zhending, it is not a big deal at all, it is nothing more than offending the Gao family, anyway, the saint and the queen are old, who knows how many years they can reign? If Zhuo Fangya only committed this point, it would be a few years later, and he could afford to wait for the new dynasty to come out again.

The problem is that Zhuo Fangya's mind is too weak, since he was 'obsessed' and fell in love with the 'Hua' clan, his homework has also stalled, although Min Pinghou did not take care of it personally, but he also listened to Zhuo Ye's confession, Shen and Zhuo Fangdian in order to make Zhuo Fangya have a good life in their studies, it can be said that they do everything, if it weren't for the 'Hua' family's adoptive mother who is not easy to mess with, and I am afraid that the 'Hua' family will be grabbed by the eldest lady, and the 'Hua' family has already been removed!

However, with his mother and sister trying his best to find a way, Zhuo Fangya is really not angry, in the past few years, I am afraid that the homework has been abandoned for a long time, Min Pinghou was extremely disappointed, and had to admit that no matter how the Shen family changed his way to say good things about Zhuo Fangya, but in fact, this little son is not a person who can succeed at all - he is not a 'woman'' Color's generation, even if there is an occasional awakening, it is easy to relapse from the old disease, Zhuo Fangya because of his biological mother, it is difficult to get the support of his brothers, the big room and the fourth room and the Shen family have always had grievances, don't say it, the second room and the third room have been sandwiched between the two factions for many years, miserable, it is estimated that they have been looking forward to the separation of the family, after the separation, I am afraid that I do not want to always be dragged down by Zhuo Fangya, Min Pinghou can only teach Shen Dangu more attentively, in order to support the Shen family and son in the future, so as not to die after his death, the fifth room will fall rapidly.

"If there is no prince, there is no Dangu." Shen Dangu smiled indifferently, "The prince said this, Dangu can't afford it." ”

"Is Xiao Qi Niang here outside?" Min Pinghou has spent much more effort cultivating Shen Dangu than his own grandchildren and grandchildren for many years, and now this arrangement is actually for Shen Dangu's good, and he also feels that he can afford Shen Dangu's repayment, he just said that, but he knows that with the Shen family's mother and son, especially Zhuo Fangya's ruthlessness towards his wife and daughter-in-law, such a character, Shen Dangu's repayment in the future is probably endless, it is he who is cultivated as a descendant, so good and beautiful' Jade', but carrying a heavy amount of kindness, I don't know what it will be dragged down into in the future...... If it weren't for the fact that Shen was also a cousin and had been obsessed with himself for many years, and Zhuo Fangya and Zhuo Fangdian were also the 'daughters' of their own children, Min Pinghou was really reluctant to put this burden on Shen Dangu, he was not an emotional person, and it was extremely rare to say a sentence just now, so he changed the topic.

Zhuo Zhaojie is going to come over today to ask for peace, this is Zhuo Fangchun told Minpinghou in advance, Zhuo Fangli was on the side at that time, and carefully explained a few words, Minpinghou of course knows, although now in order to prevent heatstroke, the 'door' and window are closed, but before Zhuo Zhaojie took the handmaid into the courtyard, he also heard some movement, and asked at this moment.

Shen Dangu didn't know that he had the intention of speaking for Zhuo Zhaojie when he summoned him first, but he nodded at the moment, and said quietly: "Xiao Qi Niang is kneeling on the blue brick outside, and the Tao is here to ask the prince for sin. ”

Min Pinghou raised his eyebrows: "On the green bricks?" ”

"Yes."

The vestibule of this courtyard where Minping Hou lives is only planted with 'flowers' and flowers, and there are no shade trees, the highest is a few bushes of canna in the corner of the courtyard, although there are people tall, but they can only shade the shade of the leaves under the feet, the whole courtyard is exposed' under the sun, Zhuo Zhaojie is no longer sensible, and he will not kneel down to the canna when he comes to ask for sin, it is better not to kneel or kneel on the cloister.

After listening to Shen Dangu's answer, Min Pinghou 'revealed' his thoughtful 'color', and said after a while: "How long have you been kneeling?" ”

"There's about a pillar of incense." Shen Dangu said truthfully.

Min Pinghou sighed and said lightly: "Then I'll talk about it later." ”

"Yes." When Shen Dangu heard this, he knew that Minpinghou had other plans, but it was not appropriate to say words of pleading, so he took the initiative to stand by the case, rolled up his sleeves, took the Ruixiang ink and inkstone, and grinded them carefully.

After the ink was thick, Min Pinghou picked up Zihao again, slowly dipped it in the ink, but said, "You go out first, and call Xiao Qiniang in a moment." ”

This is what he wants to write and doesn't want to be read by Shen Dangu, Shen Dangu doesn't care, puts down Rui Xiangmo, breathes a sigh of relief, and says again: "Yes." ”

A moment later, the closed house 'door' opened, Shen Dangu stepped out of the 'door', and conveyed the meaning of Min Pinghou to Zhuo Zhaojie, Zhuo Zhaojie had already shaken at this time, relying on a momentum to support, hearing that his grandfather had summoned, his heart was relieved, and his body shook, and behind him, Ah Xing and Ah Li hurriedly reached out to help, but they also knelt for a long time, and their hands were weak, Zhuo Zhaojie still fell to the ground in the end, Shen Dangu took a step out, stretched out his hand and said: "There will be no one outside." ”

"Thank you, Brother Shen." Zhuo Zhaojie thanked her, but shook her head, she frowned and got up with the hot masonry by herself, took out a handkerchief from her sleeve and wiped her face, and said to Ah Xing and Ah Li, "Grandfather didn't say anything about you, you just take a rest under the porch." "The voice was already visibly hoarse.

Although Ah Xing and Ah Li were tired, they also insisted: "The maid or accompany the lady in?" "Anyway, they have been kneeling outside for so long, and they don't care about going in to accompany the punishment so much, they all know that Min Pinghou doesn't like Zhuo Zhaojie too much, although this time Zhuo Zhaojie is very sincere to ask for guilt, but who knows that Min Pinghou will definitely forgive? In case he wants to beat his granddaughter to get angry, Zhuo Zhaojie will be beaten inside, but the 'girl' will be cool outside, even if Zhuo Zhaojie orders, go back and let You know it, You will not be happy after all.

Now the person talking in the fourth room is You's, and of course Ah Xing and Ah Li don't dare not accompany them.

Instead, Shen Dangu spoke: "It seems that the meaning of the prince also seems to be that he wants to see Xiao Qi Niang alone. ”

Ah Xing and Ah Li bit their 'lips' and said helplessly: "That'...... Be careful, lady. After thinking about it, I felt that it was wrong, as if Zhuo Zhaojie was going to be in danger when he saw his grandfather, even if he thought so, it was not appropriate to say it, so Ah Xing hurriedly said, "The servants take the orders of the prince and the lady." ”
