The matter of the reconciliation between the third master and the third lady of the Marquis of Wu'an caused a stir in the capital. Most of the people in the capital were attracted to attention, and there were few people who paid attention to the movements in the court.

During this time, the imperial court wanted to reopen the military academy, which caused turmoil in the entire government and the opposition.

It is naturally a good thing to reopen the military academy, which will teach the generals the latest combat skills and ideas, and will also display the latest military achievements.

It can be said that every time the military academy is reopened, it means that the Great Qin Dynasty has made new and remarkable progress in military affairs.

Only when the country is strong can it not be invaded and bullied by foreign enemies, which is something that even a three-year-old child knows. Therefore, the reopening of the military academy naturally won 100% support from officials.

However, how to select the generals who are enrolled in the military academy this year, and how many people to select, has become a difficult problem.

Just like everyone wants to show their faces in front of the emperor, everyone wants to get the latest information, and wants to get the latest military achievements, as soon as they heard that the military academy was reopened, the soldiers of Daqin and all over the world were shocked. Even they are not the only ones, even the garrisons in various places are ready to move, going through various ways to win a place.

Now in the court, everyone is queuing up to divide the fruits, and the number of places is limited, and there are too many people crying and begging, which leads to not only Emperor Longqing's first two big, but even those magnates who can speak in front of Emperor Longqing are also overwhelmed by the generals who came to give gifts, and they can't even spare their free time.

Shen Tingjun was also too busy to get out of his body.

He was too busy, which caused him to pay less attention to the news from the academy. Therefore, when I got the news from Cheng Lin, I realized that Qing'er had really been valued by the deputy mountain chief and was accepted as a closed disciple.

Shen Tingjun looked at the news and couldn't help curling his lips slightly, "It's time to report the good news to Minzhou." ”

Cheng Lin smiled beside him, "I have to say, our little young master is really liked by the deputy mountain chief." I heard that now I personally serve the deputy mountain chief and live, and there is also a separate room in the courtyard of the deputy mountain chief. ”

Shen Tingjun said "um", "That kid is quite likable." ”

Is it pleasing?

It's not that there are no children who are more pleasing than him, and it can even be said that there are too many, and it's just a big handful. But why did the deputy mountain chief choose Qing'er among so many people?

The first is naturally that the deputy chief values the face of his master; Second, isn't the ambition in that kid's eyes too strong, but his daily actions are too self-disciplined and hardworking?

The kid who knew what he wanted, and did his best to seize every opportunity to climb, completely voted for the preference of the deputy mountain chief.

In addition, the Sang family is a well-known bookseller in the entire Great Qin Dynasty, and it has a good reputation among scholars in the south - the dispute between the north and the south has existed since then, and Wu can still be divided into high and low, but Wen is difficult to distinguish second. Although Yingtian Academy has always claimed to be the first of the four major academies, the scholars in the south should not say this. In their opinion, Qingyang Academy in Huizhou is the first of the four major academies worthy of the name.

I don't know how many battles of words this kind of war of words, Yingtian Academy has never won, and Qingyang Academy has never lost. The two academies are said to be leaders, but no one has served anyone, and no one has really taken a fancy to anyone.

In such a situation, the deputy mountain chief chose Zhong Qing'er, the heir of the Sang family, who has a great reputation in the south, as a closed disciple, and the depth of the plan is really far from being clear in one or two sentences.

But when it comes to it, I can only sigh, this kid will run from time to time, otherwise Ji Tai will come, and the future will be limitless.

Cheng Lin looked at his master, who was already writing letters, and couldn't help but look at the half-approved file next to his master, and couldn't help but ask a question that he had been curious about for a long time.

"Master, can General Sang really enter Beijing?"

Shen Tingjun didn't look up at him, but he was in a good mood at the moment, and he rarely replied with a word, "Yes." ”

Cheng Lin couldn't help but say, "Master, the deputy mountain chief has accepted Young Master Qing'er as a closed disciple, this is a big event, and the ceremony will be officially held." As the brother and sister of Young Master Qing'er, how could Madame and General Sang not attend? They also want to go to Beijing, if they can settle down directly this time, wouldn't it be good? ”

If you want Sang Fuyue's family to settle in the capital, then the imperial court must issue an invention decree and ask Sang Fuyue to enter the military academy.

This matter is difficult to say, but he has already recommended Sang Fuyue in front of His Majesty, and he thinks that His Majesty will not refute his face.

Shen Tingjun paused, and glanced sideways at Cheng Lin, who was talkative, "You worry a lot." ”

Cheng Lin smiled, "The master praises you, share your worries, that's what a slave should do." ”

Cheng Lin can speak, although sometimes he doesn't like what he says, but during this time, he guarantees that he can ponder his master's thoughts.

"The most important thing is that when the Sang family enters Beijing, the little master will be able to enter Beijing. Young Master He'er has passed the full moon here, and we didn't attend the full moon banquet. The little master doesn't know what he looks like now, and the slave really thinks about it. ”

said that it was the same as if he had seen a crane, but in fact, Cheng Lin had never even seen what the golden pimple quilt looked like.

He hadn't seen it, but his master had seen it. That's really the heart and soul of the master!

And the "lady"......

In the past, they used to call their cousins or Sang girls, but since the last time they returned to Beijing, the master asked them to call them "madam" directly.

This man is in love when he is hot, who doesn't want his wife and children to heat the kang head every day? Don't look at your master's ascetic look, but every two days I have to go to Minzhou to write a letter, and bring a lot of food. Which point doesn't mean that the mother and son are always on the master's heart.

Cheng Lin boasted that he just said what was in his heart for his master, but he didn't dare to be complacent. He was just sharing his master's worries, but he didn't have any messy thoughts, thinking about a certain maid beside his wife who didn't know how to count.

Don't say what Cheng Lin's mind is, just say that Shen Tingjun calculated the time, and felt that it was indeed time to enter the palace again. There are some matters that should be sooner rather than later, and if it is delayed, he is afraid that he will not even be able to marry his daughter-in-law this year.

Thinking so, Shen Tingjun entered the palace again before going down that day.

Emperor Longqing has always loved this courtier, so he naturally left him for dinner. And then, and then...... Listening to the prayers of his confidant courtiers, Emperor Longqing's face was speechless.

He looked at Shen Tingjun, who was graceful and square, yes, he was still the same ruthless and cold appearance as before, but how could the inside have all changed.

Emperor Longqing couldn't help but joke with him, "I haven't seen you care about anything before, but now that you meet a Sang clan, it's rare for you to be like something." Not only did he come to ask me to give me a decree on marriage, but he also asked me to summon General Sang to the capital as soon as possible. You, tsk, the old house is on fire. ”

Even though Shen Tingjun has always been cold and steady, he was also reddened by Emperor Longqing's joked ears at this moment. But whatever His Majesty says is whatever it is, as long as it can satisfy his wish and let the Sang family enter Beijing as soon as possible.

Shen Tingjun prayed again.

Emperor Longqing is also a bad taste, he rarely saw Shen Tingjun so embarrassed, so he made fun of him again.

However, Shen Tingjun has always been loyal and spared no effort in doing things, and Emperor Longqing was guilty of pointing out Changrong's marriage to him before, so that an accident led to the tragic death of the old marquis. Again, I don't know if it's because Changrong is tired of women, Shen Tingjun hasn't married for many years, so he doesn't even have an heir who can inherit the title.

Emperor Longqing rarely mentioned these things before, but not mentioning it doesn't mean that he doesn't care about it in his heart, nor does it mean that he doesn't feel guilty about the old marquis. On the contrary, Shen Tingjun's ability and loyalty over the years made Emperor Longqing regret that he had given him and Changrong a marriage. He was also worried about making amends, but he had nowhere to start.

Fortunately, now that the Sang daughter has given birth to a son to Ziyuan, the Sang family does have to use it. Then fulfill Ziyuan's wish and transfer them to the capital as soon as possible.

After dinner, Emperor Longqing was relieved, waved a holy decree in his hand, and took it to Minzhou, and arranged for Sang Fuyue, the general of Wuwei in Minzhou, to enter the military academy in the capital.

Seeing this, Shen Tingjun's eyes moved slightly, and he wanted to ask for a southward order. Emperor Longqing seemed to see through his thoughts, and immediately said, "Now that the government and the opposition are in turmoil, I can't see endless people every day, and I can't finish handling official affairs...... Subconsciously is, I transferred Sang Fuyue from Minzhou in advance for the sake of your wife and children, so isn't it time for you, a courtier, to die for me?" At such a busy juncture, how can you be embarrassed to abandon me to go south and let me face the calculations and chatters of these courtiers alone?

In the end, Shen Tingjun failed to get the will to go south, but the day when the Sang family entered Beijing was expected, and his trip was not in vain, because when he left the palace, the look on his face was quite comfortable.

Besides, seeing Shen Tingjun out of the palace gate, the great eunuch Li Fugui smiled and said in front of Emperor Longqing, "Your Majesty has a great love for Shen Hou. ”

Emperor Longqing laughed, "That's also Ziyuan's worth." ”

That being said, when he was at the desk and approving the excerpts, Emperor Longqing couldn't help but think. In the past, Ziyuan was ruthless and indifferent, and there were no weaknesses and flaws in his body. A person without weakness is the most difficult to grasp, and only when a person has something that he loves like his life, can he be instructed by the superior like an arm, and he does not have to worry about being counterattacked.

The candles in the palace were bright, and they did not stop until the end of the day. In the Wu'an Hou Mansion, at this time, Shen Tingjun quickly wrote two letters and handed them to Cheng Yi casually, asking him to send them out early tomorrow morning.

Cheng Yi didn't even need to look down at the letter, just touched the thickness and knew that the thick one was designated for his wife, and as for the thin one, it was designated for General Sang.

It's just that this time I want to tell General Sang's family to take care of Mrs. and her mother and son more, or explain some of the situation in the capital, and this letter to General Sang is actually a little thicker than usual.

The letter was handed over to Cheng Yi, Shen Tingjun put down the wolf, and was ready to wash and rest.

However, after all, there is some anxiety.

He looked at the faint yellow candle flame, thought for a moment, and then instructed Cheng Yi, "Tomorrow, you take Li Cheng, find another twenty subordinates, and go south together." Haosheng supported his wife and little son, and tried to let them get to Beijing safely as soon as possible. ”

Cheng Yi immediately responded, "Don't worry, the subordinates will choose someone later." ”

Shen Tingjun also wanted to mention some precautions for the two of them to eat, but thinking that Cheng Yi would not be too close to their mother and son at that time, and Sang Fuyue would not allow Yue'er to take the child north in advance. Their mother and son designated to follow the large army, and Yue'er had maids such as Su Jin and Su Ying by her side, which should be enough.

Thinking so in his heart, but in the end, he missed it so much, Shen Tingjun called Cheng Lin again, and asked him to clean up the Sang family's house as soon as possible these days.

As early as Minzhou, Shen Tingjun told Sang Fuyue about the Military Academy, and Sang Fuyue immediately took the opportunity to take the money and asked him to buy a suitable house near the school.

This kind of trivial matter, Sang Fuyue can actually send people to do it, and even if they are not too picky, they can live directly in the house that Old Man Chang bought in the capital.

But if you have money in your hands, you can't earn much silver by eating interest, which is far less than the return you get from buying a house and buying land.

And at the foot of the Son of Heaven in the capital, buy a set of official mansions to live in, and use them sooner or later, so Sang Fuyue decided to buy a house by herself.

As for not having to use people, but specifically entrusting this matter to Shen Tingjun, it is also because some houses in some areas are not something you can buy with silver. Obviously, he is a third-grade foreign general, and he is not very famous in the capital, so he can make concessions for him.

In this case, it is very suitable to take advantage of the prestige of the Hou Mansion and choose a suitable house within the range of options.

Yes, Sang Fuyue almost didn't think much about it, so she entrusted the matter to Shen Tingjun.

And Shen Tingjun ...... In the end, there are selfish intentions.

He didn't do anything perfunctory, and he deliberately told Cheng Lin about the situation needed for the house. But just one point, in addition to Sang Fuyue's request, he added a special clause, "That house should be close to the Hou Mansion." ”

The Sang family's new house was really very close to the Hou Mansion, and it was even only one street away. Go out from the back door of the Hou Mansion, and then walk for half a tea time, and you can go to the Mulberry House.

The house occupies a good location, has a good scale, and the interior is even more delicately arranged. It can be said that it is close to the military academy, but it cannot be said that it is closer than to the Wu'an Hou Mansion......

The left and right generally meet the requirements of Sang Fuyue, and they have also been renovated before. But when I thought about it, after the two women entered Beijing, they would definitely have to spend a period of time in the mulberry house, waiting for him to marry in the past. This period of time can be long or short, and it will take three or five months at the earliest, so that the house will be more finely decorated and more perfect, and the two of them will live more comfortably.

Shen Tingjun ordered this, and Cheng Lin nodded frequently.

In fact, Cheng Lin looked at his master's cautious appearance, and wanted to ask him, "Do you want to replace every grass and tree in it with something in your warehouse, so that you are willing?" ”

You must know that in the courtyard arranged for Mrs. to live now, all the things are personally selected and arranged by the master. Some of the ornaments in the lady's house were carefully selected by the master from his private treasury. It's really like not wanting money, and those expensive things are sent to the yard over there.
