Hong Yuelian didn't have a dinner in the palace in the end, and Concubine Huan came at the right time, holding Hong Yuelian's long-lost red robe in her hand.

"I'm bothered. ”

Hong Yuelian lowered his head and took the robe brought by Concubine Huan with both hands.

"Hong Dacai is bothered. This is rolling in the officialdom, three products for a while, one product for a while, I'm afraid that I will need this palace to serve you a few more times in the future. ”

Concubine Huan said, with a shallow smile on her face, Hong Yuelian could only smile in her ears, and did not dare to refute.

As the saying goes, it is better to offend a gentleman than a villain.

In the palace, he would rather offend the emperor than offend the notoriously tricky and favored concubine in the harem.

"Alright, Lord Hong, do you still want to stay so that I can greet you for dinner?"

The emperor saw that Hong Yuelian was a little embarrassed, so he also took the opportunity to go down.

After the latter made a retreat, he slowly retreated, and after leaving the door of the imperial study, he couldn't see the figure of Concubine Huan, so he breathed a sigh of relief.

The woman was born beautiful, and her skills were not bad, and when she turned her hands into clouds and covered her hands for rain in the harem, Hong Yuelian was still a petty official.

Now the small official of sesame mung bean has become a red-robed product, but he still knows that the women in the palace can't be provoked.

It's not a question of whether it's a tiger or not.

It's that the tiger eats people and spits out the bones, and the women in the palace eat people and even chew the bones, and the scum is not left for you.

Out of the imperial study, Hong Yuelian quickly left the palace along the same road, and met the great eunuch who followed the emperor and shouted the early dynasty on the way.

The latter's eyes were sharp, and he caught a glimpse of the wooden box containing clothes in Hong Yuelian's hand, and his heart moved, so he came up and said with a smile, "Congratulations to Zhuang Yuanlang for returning to a high position, our family said in the past, others in the big red robe of the first grade may be down, but Lord Hong is not an extraordinary person." ”

"My father-in-law has won the award. ”

Hong Yuelian returned to his usual face of pampering and humiliation in the court, and took out some scattered silver from his sleeve and handed it to the hands of the great eunuch.

"This time is still thanks to my father-in-law's care. ”

With polite words in his mouth, the big eunuch smiled and took the few taels of silver.

As a minister of the Son of Heaven, especially the accompanying eunuch, such scattered silver is not enough to even have between his teeth, but he is still very happy to accept it.

After all, this Lord Hong is notoriously honest above the court, and he has never embezzled a copper in the public school.

He didn't confiscate this kind of clean money, but he collected very little, and most of them were poor scholars with low official ranks.

I think my heart is like a rock and can resist the prosperity of the world, but after all, it is just because I stand too low and see too few temptations.

On Lord Hong's side, the great eunuch really thinks that this is the appearance and style that a scholar should have.

Unyielding, able to stay in the world but transcendent from the world.

In this pickled officialdom, there are not many people who can still keep themselves clean.

And it is still a product of the dynasty, even Feng Yuesheng does not dare to say that he is cleaner than Hong Yuelian, and there have been some things that have used power for personal gain.

"It's almost evening, and the palace will also have a curfew, so there will be no adults left in our house. ”

"I will retire under the next, and I will have a chance in the future, and then invite my father-in-law to the house to talk. ”

The two exchanged a few more polite words before leaving, and then parted ways.

Hong Yuelian was holding the robe of a first-class official in his hand, but he regretted it a little in his heart.

At that time, I shouldn't have given away all the money in my sleeve, and I could have rented a carriage at the market price......

Hong Yuelian left the palace, and Gu Changan just returned to the Drunken Immortal Residence when it was dark.

This day is busy, and the harvest is big and big, but if you want to be specific, it is not effective.

Verbally, he pulled two first-class officials to stand behind him, but after all, he had only seen two or three verbal agreements.

To put it mildly, no one can trust anyone.

"How is it? I heard that after visiting the house of Lord Hong, he immediately went to the palace, and it was not until Fang Cai that he mysteriously came out with a wooden box in his hand. ”

Shen Mourning welcomed Gu Chang'an in, and the Drunken Immortal Residence should be closed every time like this, but it was always an exception because of Gu Chang'an's late return.

If it weren't for the abundance of money, I'm afraid that the proprietress alone would be enough to nag them to death behind their backs.

"If the guess is correct, it should be the official uniform he will wear to the court tomorrow, but it is different from the current one. It's red, big red in that box!"

Gu Chang'an said.

That Shen Mian was a little stunned when he heard it, now this is so easy to take?

That Hong Yuelian looks like a rigid reader, but now it seems that he is also a person with hands and eyes.

It can really be said that people cannot be disguised, and the sea water cannot be measured.

Asked Drunken Xianju to prepare some meals, and Gu Changan, who had not eaten for a day, still wanted to appreciate the flavor of the world.

casually ripped off a chicken leg from the roast chicken to tease Ruru, but this little girl looked at him with the eyes of a fool, so that Gu Changan couldn't get off the stage.

"Prepare the official clothes for me to wear tomorrow, and I will have an early pilgrimage tomorrow, but I can probably resign and leave after I finish it." ”

Gu Changan cleaned up the food on the table like a storm, and did not waste any money.

"If you want to leave the capital, you should tell Your Majesty in advance. ”

Shen Mourning reminded.

"I know. It's just that I really don't want to go to the harem a second time, so I'll take advantage of tomorrow morning to say goodbye, anyway, everyone who should be watching has seen it, and everything that should be said has been said. ”

Gu Changan only felt tired in his heart.

I really don't know how those great conspirators insisted on all kinds of tricks in this temple day after day, year after year.

"Let's rest early today, and we'll go back to Qingyang Prefecture when we're almost ready tomorrow!"

After Gu Changan finished speaking, he planned to go back to the room, but the little girl stopped him.

"Big brother, should I go back with Master as well?"

Gu Changan looked back at her and smiled, "If you don't mind, the Qingyang Prefecture Hanging Mirror Division will be your home in the future." ”

Ru Ru was moved to hear this, but she knew that she shouldn't make an assertion because of her age, so she trotted back to her room to inform her master.

Gu Changan smiled, turned around and pushed the door in.

And on the roof of this drunken immortal residence, there is a figure standing straight under the moon, carrying a longbow behind him.

"My lord, that Hong Yuelian is currently standing, but that Jin Youde has some clues, and he can't see the movement clearly. ”

When I looked closely, I realized that there was another person on the roof who was half-kneeling.

"These things are recorded, and when they return, they will report them to the Pacification Envoy together. ”

Li Xiaocao said expressionlessly.

He hadn't appeared in the Drunken Immortal Residence for a while, his face was slightly pale, his breath was a little fluctuating, and he seemed to be injured.

"That'...... Do you want to follow tomorrow morning?"

"No need, that old fox in the palace doesn't like the prying eyes of others, you go, be careful to leave your life there. ”

"The subordinates understand. ”

......
