Shengguo Mansion

The door of the five wings, the blue bricks build up a female wall, autumn has arrived, the evergreen vines climbing on it have turned dark green, and the tree garden in the wall stretches to the distance, with a layer of mist.

Sheng Guogong, who is over sixty years old, is in a small garden full of chrysanthemums at this time, and is very patient in pruning branches and leaves.

"The autumn wind is full of flowers, and only the chrysanthemums are blooming again. Sheng Guogong looked at the blooming chrysanthemums, sighed slightly, and smiled for a long time.

"People think I'm a vixen, but I'm not, it's just a fluke. ”

Sheng Guogong followed Zheng Taizu around at the age of thirteen, and he didn't know how many big and small battles he fought, and he made great achievements, and he also saved Taizu's life, and he was hit by twenty-seven wounds.

Qingwu in Dazheng resigned due to illness in three years, others think it is a rapid retreat, in fact, it is really a recurrence of old injuries, if it is not for the mysterious Taoist to give pills, almost died of illness, frightened Zheng Taizu came to the door, and also sealed Sheng Guogong.

The illness is like a thread, Sheng Guogong lived a "pension" life in advance and enjoyed the joy of family.

Therefore, the emperor ascended the throne to suppress the generals, but Sheng Guogong not only did not affect it, but also received a reward as a model.

More or less talented and meritorious people have pounced, but they have survived, and there is no idea of making a comeback.

And the reward of this dynasty is not thin, although the lord is divided into the lord and the lord, but the founding heroes are basically the lord, if you don't die, you will rest with the country.

Sheng Guogong cultivated with peace of mind, Zheng Taizu, who regarded him as half a son, went early, and now the Dragon Chair God King is also in poor health day by day, and Sheng Guogong, a person who has been seriously injured several times on the battlefield, now looks quite healthy.

Life is leisurely, the eldest son is in charge of the family business, the official residence is from the third grade, and he is quite talented, and the sons are not disgusting gentlemen, although most of them have mediocre qualifications, but they all hold small official positions, and can afford to be low-key, which is good for the descendants of the lords.

"Hey, it's going to rain. Looking up at the gray sky since the morning, it was clear that before the dawn, the moonlight and stars were bright, who knew that the sky would change in a few hours, so that Sheng Guogong, who wanted to take out the calligraphy and paintings he had hidden, suddenly felt a little disappointed.

"Father. ”

At this time, a middle-aged man came in, saw Sheng Guogong busy, and called respectfully.

Sheng Guogong didn't even look at his eldest son, carefully built the branches and leaves, and asked casually: "Why, suddenly went back to the house to see me, what happened?"

My eldest son, usually at this time, has either gone out or is busy with other things, and rarely bothers himself at this time.

The prince took a few steps forward, approached the old prince, and whispered: "Father, the son heard about something, the Zongren Mansion has received His Majesty's will, and the name has been discussed. ”

"Discuss the name?" The old prince calmly cut off a miscellaneous leaf, looked at it carefully, and said lightly: "What, which prince was born?"

"No, your majesty has long since had no children born, and neither have the kings. King Qianjun has a concubine to give birth, that is, in these few days, but a concubine gives birth to a child, it is impossible to stir up the people like this. ”

"What do you mean?" If you can't hear that your son is hanging his appetite, even if the old man has lived for more than sixty years in vain, he sighed in his heart, and his face was indifferent.

Isn't it just for the Zongren Mansion to name the royal family?

Even if the son told himself that the kings had lost pearls in the sea, the old prince would not be surprised.

Really, I think that this old man is as rare and strange as his son?

Seeing that the old prince didn't even move his eyebrows, the prince felt a little regretful, so he had to say the second half of what he heard: "There are rumors that Su Zi, the champion of this year's new department, may be the son of the prince who is exposed......"

After saying this, the old man was still indifferent, and even paid attention to the flowers and plants, and only nodded his head, indicating that he knew.

Shizi felt more and more that his father was unusual, but before withdrawing, his eyes were accidentally swept away, and the corners of his mouth twitched.

He lowered his head and bowed to the old man: "If you don't have any orders, my son will retire first." ”

The old man was silent.

The prince retreated like this, went out of the garden, and when he got outside, he couldn't help but laugh: "It seems that my father is not frightened." ”

"I actually cut off all his favorite rouge and snow. ”

Young University Scholars' House

Yang Ancheng was at home because of Ding Wei, and his actual work was stopped, and he was a scholar of the Ming Palace, with a third-rank rank, but he was still a courtier who could be summoned by the emperor, and he was not to the point of being a bird in front of the door.

This morning, a person came over, it was Yu Qianzhi, who received the fifth rank.

Because Yu Qianzhi was not only a five-grade official, but also a Yanxia Zhenren who inherited the Yulingyang Taoist system, which was different from other five-grade officials, he came to the Yang University Scholar's Mansion and was warmly received by Yang Ancheng.

The two are the same age, both are middle-aged people in their forties, and they both look like they are living a leisurely life, one is far away from the political center and is considered a marginal person, and the other is at home because of Ding worry, only hanging on a vacant position, not asking about political affairs, but they can talk about it together.

"Lord Yang was ill a few days ago, although it seems to be caused by the wind cold, in fact, it is also related to the fact that you have eaten more cold food. ”

Yang Ancheng listened to Yu Qianzhi's reminder with a little ridicule, and smiled helplessly: "Why don't I know this? But when I am not confused, no matter how much I pay attention, I will inevitably make my body suffer." I heard that Master Yu has a way to strengthen people's bodies, I don't know if you can cut your love?"

"It's just a set of health boxing, what's it? When I go back, I'll have someone send me the album. Lord Yang, you can follow it, practicing for half an hour every morning is quite good for the body. Yu Qianzhi said briskly.

Yang Ancheng nodded with satisfaction, greeted the two fair maids, boiled tea with his hands, and introduced the tea he was about to taste to Yu Qianzhi: "This tea is a specialty of Gongnan Province, and it is known as Xiaoyu and early sunshine. ”

"It is fried from the top young leaves of a tea tree that only grows in Gongnan Province, which is clear and sweet, and it is very elegant to drink. ”

As he spoke, the tea had been boiled, and in the small porcelain bowl as white as jade, with the work of the maid, the young leaves were like a bird's tongue, dark green in color, and they were floating up and down in the clear water.

There is a burst of fragrance in the blue liquid, which makes people smell it, and there is a sense of relaxation and happiness.

Although Yu Qianzhi is not a tea lover, there are few literati who are not elegant, and they will hunt in tea art.

Tea tasting is particular, a cup of tea should be divided into three sips, the first sip is to test the tea temperature, the second sip is to taste the fragrance of tea, and the third sip is to drink tea.

Yu Qianzhi held the small porcelain bowl, sipped the tea, and sure enough, a faint sweet fragrance spread in his mouth.
