Wei Ji didn't rush to work with him, nodded and went out.

In front of the study building, the Jiuqu Bridge is a courtyard, two days ago the two also came out to walk around in the vicinity, the rockery in the garden is rugged and kitty, and the flowers and trees around are matched elegantly, which is eye-catching, and the fun is endless. Wei Ji followed the route she had taken before, and saw a green lion lotus blooming next to the rock, and just took two steps ahead, she heard a burst of footsteps coming from the other side of the rock.

She looked up and saw the two people who came, Sima Pi, the king of Langya, and Mu Zhi, the princess.

The two looked a little unmatched, Wang Muzhi is an extremely Zhuang beauty face, I have seen it a few times, she has a gentle and generous attitude towards all the girls, although the time of coming to Yuzhang is not long, but she has a good name. At this moment, with a thin layer of anger, she stepped forward quickly and blocked in front of Sima Pi, "Your Highness would rather let the children of the Han family go to the study to listen to the errand, rather than call me the son of the Wang family, is it because I am dissatisfied with my Wang family?"

When Wei Ji heard this, she tiptoed behind the rocks and hid, not daring to let the two of them see her.

Sima Pi said with a smile, "Your Wang family has never only needed high-grade official positions, how can a turbid official like a scribe be looked down upon. ”

Wang Mu Zhidao: "Your Highness said that it was funny, how can there be a turbid official in the official position of the palace." ”

Sima Pi said: "It's just a subordinate who sorts out documents, and he doesn't dare to work for your Taiyuan Wang family." ”

Wang Muzhi saw that Sima Pi was already impatient, paused for a moment, and his tone became tactful, "The study clerk, the contact is all confidential and important matters of His Highness, and I also want to use my own family for His Highness, the children of the poor family have no foundation, and they are the most easily manipulated by others, if they are instigated behind their backs, it will be unfavorable to His Highness." ”

Sima Pi sneered, "Don't pick up some nice things to fool me, according to your meaning, everyone in the mansion should be from the Taiyuan Wang's family, this is the Langya Wangfu or your Taiyuan Wangfu." ”

Wang Muzhi's lips trembled slightly, and he said angrily: "Your Highness, why did Your Highness say this, the Taiyuan Wang family has done its best for His Royal Highness all these years, but there has been a mistake If it weren't for my Taiyuan Wang family......"

Sima Pi's cold and sharp gaze fell on her, "Why don't you say it, if it weren't for your Taiyuan Wang Clan, I would have gone to a remote domain long ago." The king and the horse share the world, and your Wang family wants to be the master of half of the world. ”

Wang Muzhi's eyes moved slightly, but he didn't dare to answer this sentence, and took two deep breaths to calm his emotions.

Sima Pi suddenly took a step forward, caressing Wang Muzhi's cheek, and his movements were gentle.

Wang Muzhi's body stiffened, she was familiar with Sima Pi's character, so it was not a sign of warmth. Sima Pi bowed his head slightly, pressed her ear and said: "When I ascend the throne, your Taiyuan Wang clan will have the opportunity to be the first of the four surnames. ”

Hearing the coldness in his words, Wang Muzhi lowered her eyes - she already knew what kind of person he was, and the two were more allies than husband and wife.

Sima Pi let go of his hand, smiled a little lightly, didn't look at her, turned around and left.

Wang Muzhi stood in the garden for a while, brushed his sideburns, and his expression returned to calm before slowly leaving.

Wei Ji didn't dare to breathe, and waited for a while before walking out from behind the rocks, and was not in the mood to continue shopping, so she hurriedly walked to the study building. As soon as I crossed the Jiuqu Bridge, I saw a tall and thin figure leaning against the wooden railing, with dark eyes and an indistinguishable gaze.

Wei Ji saluted and said, "Your Highness." ”

Sima Pi said: "Where did you go?"

Wei Ji said: "After a short rest, I walked around the bridge." ”

Sima Pi looked at her, his eyes went from top to bottom, all the way to her feet, he pondered for a moment, and he said, "The weather is just right, I am about to visit the garden, you come along." ”

Wei Ji couldn't guess what he was going to do, so she followed him, and when he turned his back, she quickly looked down at her feet, and she didn't have anything, and she quietly breathed a sigh of relief in her heart.

Sima Pi turned around and said, "Come up." ”

Wei Ji quickened her pace and stood at his side, only half a step behind.

Sima Pi frowned, suddenly shook his head and smiled: "You scholars are really boring, you talk about the rules on your face, but behind your back, you can do everything. ”

Wei Ji didn't think so, but her face didn't show a hint, but she made an appearance of listening attentively.

Sima Pi glanced at her, "Don't pretend to be like this, you are not such an honest person." ”

Wei Ji sighed secretly and said, "What His Highness said is that I have nothing to say. ”

Sima Pi sneered, "You persuaded Qi Gongming a lot that day. ”

Wei Ji said: "Brother Gongming's knowledge is not popular, I just make a little adjustment, His Royal Highness has a good chest, everything is already clear in his chest, my little knowledge is far behind, naturally I have nothing to say." ”

Sima Pi stopped and turned sideways, "Wei Yudu, if you say these flattering words again, I will issue an order to recruit you and let you sweep the yard every day." ”

Wei Ji has been through two lifetimes, and he has never seen a person with such a strange temperament, as the saying goes, he doesn't hit a smiling person, he Sima Pi is good, and he specializes in hitting smiling people.

But the situation is more than human□□ no matter how much she slanders in her heart, she can only pretend to be well-behaved and say: "Your Highness just said that the children of the scholar clan are not the same, there is nothing wrong with this, and I agree with it in my heart." ”

Sima Pi snorted and said, "You are also a child of the scholar clan, don't argue a word."

Wei Ji said: "Not only the children of the scholar family, in front of His Royal Highness, who can be the same inside and outside, and speak freely, the cowardice of the humble is the common truth, isn't it the same for the children of the Han family, why is it in His Royal Highness's heart, the children of the Shi clan behave like this, but the children of the Han family do not think about it." ”

Saying that, Wei Ji secretly looked at him from the corner of his eye, "Is it because in the heart of His Highness, there is already a difference between the scholar clan and the Hanmen." ”

Sima Pi looked up, and there was no trace of the expression on his face, "You are bold." ”

Wei Jiao's heart is not forced by you.

Sima Pi said: "In this case, let's talk about it, the children of the scholar clan and the scholars of the poor family, which is better or worse."

Wei Ji frowned, pondered for a moment, and said: "Your Highness, I studied in Yuzhang, and the children of the scholar clan and the scholars of the Hanmen have seen it. ”

Sima Pi glanced at her, "What if I have to judge you on the merits?"

Wei Ji said: "Right now, for His Highness, it is natural that the children of the scholar clan are superior, and the children of the poor family are inferior. ”

Sima Pi's face suddenly became like a cloud.

The author has something to say:

78

Chapter 78: Encountered

Wei Ji was swept away by his cold gaze, and her back was a little cold, but when the words began, she could only stubbornly go down and say: "If it is rumored today, there is no cold door in the upper grade, and there is no scholar clan in the lower grade, others may be able to laugh at it, Your Highness must be worried, the children of the scholar clan rely on their family background to easily occupy a high position, and the corpse is vegetarian, which is not beneficial to the country." ”

Sima Pi walked under the tree and stopped, as if admiring the flowers and plants in the garden.

Wei Ji continued: "Before there were silk books and paper, books were difficult to survive, and after war, many classics were destroyed, fortunately, there are family students to pass down the books, so after several generations of efforts, in order to become a family, the hardship and persistence in this is not worthy of admiration."

Sima Pi said: "It's not uncommon to say this, which scholar doesn't remember the ancestral exploits clearly." ”

Wei Ji smiled slightly: "Then Your Highness should know that it is not easy for the Shi clan to accumulate, and how can the descendants be willing to easily cede the ancestral inheritance, if they just share some benefits from them, if they want to shake the foundation of the Shi clan, they dare to work hard, and they can do whatever they are bold." ”

Sima Pi's face changed, and he stared at Wei Jiao, "This is what you said about the children of the scholar clan as superior."

Wei Ji smiled and said, "Isn't this a powerful and fearsome force, the children of the Hanmen have a rare determination to forge ahead, but they are weak and have no foundation in the court, what can Your Highness do with them, but they rely on Your Highness more." At present, for His Highness, it should be clear which is better and which is inferior. ”

Sima Pi stood under the tree, the branches and leaves swaying in the wind, and the corners of his robe swaying gently. His brow furrowed, and he looked at her with a hint of surprise.

originally thought that she should argue a few words for the current Shi clan atmosphere, but she didn't talk about that, but reminded him very tactfully that the cold family is not a climate, and what a big backlash will be caused if you want to use the cold family to shake the status of the Shi clan. This is not about the advantages and disadvantages, but a direct weighing of the pros and cons, which seems somewhat utilitarian. But he has a special appetite for Sima Pi.

He hated the situation in which the scholars controlled the government inside and outside, but deep down he also knew one thing very well that such a situation had been around for a long time, and it would not be easy to change it. The most important thing - he is still only a royal prince.

Sima Pi thought about it for a while, the fierce color between his eyebrows receded, and he said with a smile: "Wei Xiaolangjun was born with a clever mouth, and every word is a good word. ”

Wei Ji quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

Sima Pi's depression dissipated most of the time, and his eyes turned around Wei Ji's face, seeing that she seemed relaxed, but her lips were slightly white, and she didn't seem to be as relaxed as she looked on the surface.

Sima Pi was in a better mood, and said in his heart: If he wasn't young, he could have been summoned to work in the mansion.

His heart moved, and the corner of his mouth smiled: "You answered well, there is a favorite pair of calligraphy in the study building." ”

Wei Ji hurriedly thanked him.

Sima Pi looked at the smile on her face, his gaze was slightly fixed, his hand touched the waist pendant hanging from his waist, it was slightly cold, he looked down, took it off and handed it to Wei Ji, and said casually: "I will reward you for playing with this." ”

It was a fish-shaped pendant of red coral, exquisitely carved, not ordinary.

Wei Ji glanced at him, a little hesitant.

Sima Pi said impatiently: "Don't take it yet." ”

Wei Ji took it with both hands. Sima Pi turned around and walked forward, and the two of them took a short turn in the garden, but Sima Pi didn't say anything amazing, and he didn't make any troubles. Wei Ji was not too relaxed, and when she was gossiping, she walked through a sheep intestine path, and there were crape myrtles planted on both sides, also known as whooping red, purple and red, with clusters of flowers, and a gust of wind blowing, and a burst of petals floating on the trees.

Wei Ji brushed her shoulders, and Sima Pi turned around and saw that she also had half a broken flower on her head. The pale red petals on the jet-black hair suddenly took on a bright color. There was still a hint of distraction in his mind, and his hand had already reached for her head.

Wei Ji was stunned, raised her eyelids in surprise, and saw Sima Pi taking the petals from her head very casually.

Sima Pi turned his back and walked for a while, and an attendant hurriedly came to him, so he asked Wei Ji to go back to the study building, and he took the attendant away.

Wei Ji hurried back to the study building, Qi Gongming had no complaints about her long absence, and re-classified the silk books on the upper layer of the shelf by category, and recorded them in the book, and today's matter was almost completed. Wei Ji remembered something, and pulled a book sticker on the shelf to take it away. When Qi Gongming heard that King Langya personally promised to reward the copybook, he was envious.

On this day, Wei Ji and Qi Gongming checked again to see if there was any omission, and it was late when they left the palace.

Wei Ji went home and opened the notebook for a while, and finally felt that this trip to the library was not a loss. She put away the coral pendant given by Sima Pi again, and then washed and slebed.

On the second day, after finishing the book, Wei Ji handed over the recorded books to Qi Gongming, asked him to take them to the errand, and said hello to the chamberlain, and left the palace. As soon as the ox cart arrived at the front of the house, she was stopped by Deng Jia, who came to look for her.

"I can't find you in the past few days, Luo Huan gave you an invitation post ten days ago, you forgot"

Wei Ji really forgot about it. It turned out that Luo Huan had reached the age of sixteen, and he had already held a family banquet at Luo's house a few days ago. The adult Lang Jun can receive a family business from the family, and there are fields and shops, etc., which are all a guarantee for the children within the Shi clan. Luo Huan's hand was immediately relieved, and he shouted that he wanted to invite his friends to have a game, and he posted to Zhong Xiaolangjun ten days ago.

Wei Ji left this matter behind because of an errand in the study building.

Deng Jia pulled Wei Ji and got into the ox cart, "If you don't go, Luo Huan will be annoyed." ”

The cow carriage of the Deng family is also very spacious, with a small table and tea and snacks, Wei Ji poured herself a cup of tea, drank two sips, looked out again, and asked, "Where is the Lingxi Tower again?"

Deng Jia smiled.

The way he smiled made Wei Ji feel a little indescribable.

"Today is very different, you will know when you go."

Wei Ji was confused, and Deng Jia then pushed the pastry in front of her, "This is what my chef is best at, you can taste it." ”

Wei Ji tasted it, and it was really crispy and sweet. Later, Deng Jia said something about the September Zhongzheng Yaji. Wei Ji wanted to go back to Jiangxia to participate in the Yaji, but she only heard Deng Jia talk about Yuzhang's rules for this Yaji, which also made her listen to it with relish.

The ox cart stopped quickly, Deng Jia opened the door, Wei Ji looked out, it was a secluded alley, the street was clean, she didn't pay attention to the direction when she came just now, but she didn't know which place in Yuzhang City this was. The two got out of the car, and Wei Ji asked where it was. Deng Jia smiled like before, looking a little slippery.

"Don't look inconspicuous here, there's a lot going on inside." So saying, he told his servant to call the door.

Soon the door opened, and there was a lady in her thirties standing inside, with her hair in a high bun, dressed in a gorgeous dress, and greeted her with a smile, "The two must be Luo Langjun's distinguished guests, please go inside." Hearing the sound in the door, two handmaidens who were thirteen or fourteen years old, about the same age as Wei Jiao, were dressed very carefully and led Deng Jia and Wei Jia in.

Passing through the courtyard where you entered, you soon came to the hall.

Wei Ji immediately understood why Deng Jia said that there was nothing inside just now, and he felt ordinary when he looked outside, but when he arrived at the place in front of him, he knew that there was a big difference, the wall was newly painted, there were colorful lanterns hanging under the eaves, and the surroundings were bright, and there were things to enjoy on the shelves.

There were already several seats inside, Luo Huan was sitting in the middle, accompanied by a young woman, looking sixteen or seventeen years old, wearing a new silver and red dress, just sitting there there was a thousand kinds of charm.

Wei Ji already had a bad premonition. I only heard Deng Jia say in her ear, "This is the Qinglan lady who only came to Yuzhang last month, and she is a unique woman in both color and art, and she has not been here for a long time, and she is already the leader of the flowers." ”

said that he was the leader of the flowers, but in fact he was the best in the tricks. Wei Jiao's head was big for a while, and Luo Huan had already warmly beckoned the two of them to sit over at this time.

Wei Ji saw Qinglan Niangzi turn around, her face was fair, her eyebrows were thin, and when she glanced at her, she seemed to be in love, and she was really a rare beauty.

Today's expenses are all Luo Huan's, so he put on the posture of the master's house, and soon a few more Lang Jun came in. When everyone arrived, the outside door was closed, and the woman who had just greeted the guests beckoned to serve the food and drinks. Qinglan Lady greeted everyone, said a few jokes, and said that I have several sisters here, and came out to greet Lang Jun.

Soon a few enchanting women walked out of the back hall, holding the piano and flute, playing music in front of everyone, and Qinglan Niangzi sang a song, which was really tactful and tender.
