Waiting for Zhao Xu and Zuo Qi to go out, Zhu Yuan said to Qingqiu and Luo Shui: "Come, teach you a few symbols, and help me with my school in the future." ”

The two girls obediently came to Zhu Yuan's side, one left and one right.

What Zhu Yuan wants to say is punctuation.

These days, one of the things that Zhu Yuan bothers most about reading is that there is no punctuation.

In fact, punctuation, like simplified Chinese, has also existed since ancient times. There are punctuation marks on the Shinto monument written by Zhu Yuanzhang personally for Xu Da. However, probably for the sake of saving paper, most of the books in ancient times still did not have punctuation.

At present, it is enough to think about reading from traditional to simplified, and since there are conditions, Zhu Yuan doesn't want to waste time on sentence breaks.

This is also the reason why Zhu Yuan bought Qingqiu and Luoshui.

High-end secretarial.

The positioning is clear.

Not only can you read books and break sentences, but the two women's painting skills are also exquisite, and Zhu Yuan will also use them in the future.

While talking, he felt that the blank cat on the other side came over silently, Zhu Yuan smiled and said, "You guys should listen together." ”

Liubai seemed to have inadvertently whispered in his ear yesterday, and she and Freehand can also read and draw.

This Zhu Yuan believes.

After all, the names of the two girls are related to calligraphy and painting.

I just can't cook.

Zhu Yuan spoke, and he wanted to pull the blank space and leave together.

However, this is just the beginning of the lecture, and Zhao Xu, who has probably not left the gate of the West Courtyard, has returned, followed by a panting little maid.

The little maid's face was flushed, and she took a few breaths before she was finally able to speak, raised her hand in the direction of the courtyard gate, and said anxiously: "Master, there are poor people, poor people...... blocked the courtyard door, and said, "I want the lord's house to go out and reply." ”

When Zhu Yuan heard the first half of the sentence, he was shocked in his heart. waited for the little girl to finish speaking, and then reacted again.

If something happens to Lao Zhu, where will he go out to talk, I'm afraid he will be killed directly.

Zhu Yuan looked at Zhao Xu.

Zhao continued: "The little one doesn't know what is going on, Zuo Qi has already gone out." ”

Zhu Yuan thought for a moment and said, "Since you happen to be going to the palace, no matter what people outside are looking for me, take it with you." I'm a sick boy who studies behind closed doors, and I can't see customers or care about anything. I haven't been out of the door these days, and it's impossible to cause anything. ”

Zhao Xu bowed and agreed.

When he went out, he suddenly reacted, only to feel a chill down his spine.

Zhao Xu is indeed a smart person, otherwise he would not have been selected to enter the Gongwei Division as a secret spy. Therefore, Zhu Yuan's previous point of his left-handing incident made him realize that the petty officials may have seen something.

The calluses that were sharpened between Zhao Xu's left fingers when he practiced archery were in a special position, but they were not something ordinary people could have.

However, if this is the case, if you want to argue, you can also find a reason for prevarication.

Maybe there are other flaws.

Besides, at the moment, the petty officials asked him to directly take those who sent people outside to the palace, which seemed to show weakness in his words, but with the importance of the lord to the petty officials, as well as the taboos of the petty officials themselves, it is strange that those people can have good fruits.

It's ruthless enough!

This made Zhao Xu have to think about his situation.

The petty official is now a straight bachelor of the Hanlin of the fifth grade, and if you think about the attitude of the lord in the past few days, you will have to pay homage to the prime minister in the future. If this is the case, even if he is a spy arranged by the Lord, what good result can he have, is it possible that the Lord will embarrass the minister for a pawn?

Thoughts go deep.

Just now, the petty officials just hinted, but they didn't break it, and their attitude was obvious.

The petty officials didn't mind it.

However, since he gave another hint, it was obvious that he was also asked to ...... There is also Zuo Qi, a statement by the two.

At the moment they have three options.

The more direct one is to take the initiative to confess to the Lord that their identities have been exposed.

If you do this, there is a high probability that you will be transferred.

Not only that, but a more serious result will also create a gap between the lord and the petty officials.

For the two of them, it is impossible to mess up such an important matter, and it is impossible to think of any good future in the future, and they may even be angry and punished by the Lord.

Second, continue to have no reservations about the Lord.

For example, the little official just added the matter of those two Meiji yesterday.

The two of them discussed privately last night, and from this association, they felt that the little official suddenly fell ill again the next day after moving in, and it was probably caused by the overindulgence of the two logo girls with freehand and blank space the night before.

However, when this is to be said, the petty officials have to be reprimanded by the Lord for being young and lazy. And the two of them will definitely be on guard in the future.

As for the future, it is even more difficult to say what will happen.

The last option is to compromise.

For example, the purchase of maids and maids in the inner house can actually be regarded as inconsequential. They do not say, even if the Lord knows about it in the future, it cannot be said that they deliberately concealed it. After all, the Lord asked them to listen to important matters, not all bits and pieces of chickens and dogs had to be recorded.

After thinking all the way, near the gate of the mansion, Zhao Xu had already made a decision, and planned to discuss it with Zuo Qi on the way to the city later and reach an agreement. The two are brothers who have experienced life and death together, and they know each other well, and he believes that Zuo Qi's thoughts will only be the same as his own.

Thinking so, Zhao Xu had already come to the outside of the mansion from the small door.

Look at the commotion.

Not only were there five or six soap-clad errands blocked in front of the door, but there were also a number of boats carrying errands scattered around the lake, several of which were chasing the lakemen's boats. As soon as Zhao Xu walked out of the small door on the side of the mansion, he saw several servants on an official boat stabbing a small fishing boat with a long pole, and then scooped up the two lakemen who looked like chickens in soup to the boat and tied them up with a sharp rope.

Just as they were looking, Zuo Qi and Dai Sanchun walked over with a blue-robed official.

After greeting each other, the head of the household department who introduced himself named Cui Ji no longer paid attention to Zhao Xu, and turned to Dai Sanchun, who was dressed decently: "Mr. Dai, this official was ordered to inspect the fugitive households, some people say that there are fugitives on the lake hidden in this mansion, please hand them over, and in addition, I have to ask the master's family to come out and explain to the lower officials." ”

Dai Sanchun was embarrassed and was about to give up his hand, but Zhao Xu had already answered: "This adult, my little official is in poor health and can't see guests. It just so happened that the little one was going to the palace to do something, and the little official just said, let you go to the palace with the little one, if there is anything, let the prince decide. ”

After Zhao Xu finished speaking, Dai Sanchun smiled and stopped talking.

Cui Ji turned to Zhao Xu, some didn't believe it, and there were some 'why don't you play cards according to common sense', he was obviously not a reckless person who didn't know anything, he was stunned for a while, and realized that Zhao Xu couldn't cheat on this kind of thing, and finally said: "This ...... This...... Just a little thing, how to ...... How can you bother the prince? ”

The other party had the intention of retreating, and Zhao Xu didn't want to do much, so he arched his hand and said: "If Master Cui wants to be together, let's set off." If not, please go back. Also, the little one fostered two mules in the west of the lake, and I don't know if they were handed over by Master Cui. If so, please return it, you can't walk to the palace in the next place, you will miss something. ”

Cui Ji obviously didn't know these details, but subconsciously followed and said, "There must be none, no." ”

As he spoke, he looked at a few subordinates behind him.

Several people also heard the conversation just now, and now they are all thinking about getting out. O king, is that a place where they can tread? A few of them already regretted it in their hearts, and if they knew that there was such an experience, they would not have come to join in the excitement today.

Rajah?

Then it will be His Majesty the Emperor in a moment.

Who dares to provoke!

When they saw Shangguan, they all nodded again and again like chickens pecking rice, where do they dare to be embarrassed?

After saying a few more words, Cui Ji personally sent Zhao Xu and Zuo Qi to board his own boat, and seeing that there was no boatman on the boat, he also sent two soaps to help paddle.

Coming to the west side of the island where the mansion is located, this side is also lively, many lakemen are tied up like grasshoppers, miserable and miserable by some soap guards squatting on the ground, Zhao Xu also saw at a glance the two big green mules that his family recently purchased and fostered in the Lin family for the mansion rowing boat.

I started to want to buy a horse.

Too expensive.

At present, the slightly better horses have been requisitioned for military use, and a small number of them remain in the civilian population, which is not at all affordable for ordinary families.

After a few words of advice, not only the two mules were returned, but the Lin family, who were also tied up in the crowd, were also released.

Zhao Xu didn't know what was going on today, so he didn't dare to draw a snake, so he just asked the Lin family of six to hide in their own boat first, and then rode a mule with Zuo Qi and went straight to Jinling City.
