Chapter 2: The Heart's Desire
The morning court meeting kicked off in the sound of drums, and the mighty procession of left and right martial arts slowly walked into the golden and majestic purple gold hall.
On the dragon chair, Zhang Yan of the Ninety-Five Venerable swept over Huang Fu, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, with a cold face, who shivered and lowered his head and did not dare to look directly at the saint.
After a concise performance, most of them were smooth and smooth, and after the performance of Minshun and Kangkang, Zhao Yan stood up and asked, "Now that the old general Shangguan is going out to fight, I heard that many people are not convinced, and secretly say that the Shangguan family is standing tall by virtue of marriage with the royal family." also said that other families are married to daughters, and the Shangguan family thinks that it is better to marry a man. ”
Everyone was silent, not daring to speak, let alone raising their heads, only Zuo Cheng Gu Beisha, who was given the grace of the saint to face up and not kneel down to give a seat, got up with a smile and said, "People are terrible, today's saint said that it will naturally wake up the generals, and it will not be too late to investigate such rumors in the future." ”
The corners of Zhao Yan's mouth rose, and he waved his hand and said, "General Shangguan, let's bring Xue'er and my sister into the palace to dine together in the morning today, I also miss Xue'er a little." ”
Shangguan Chi, who was tall and strong, looked like he was powerful, got up and thanked him, and then said, "Can you bring Qing'er with you?"
"It's a family banquet, and the general is. ”
"Thank you, Saint Shanglongen. ”
Zhao Yan's eyes finally fell on Huang Fu, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, this person has no talent, he can only say that he has some luck, it can be regarded as a son inheriting his father's business, and besides, talking about the affairs of the Ministry of Rites, although it is complicated, the Ministry of Rites Shangshu itself is relatively relaxed. For so many years, he has not made a big mistake, but compared with the other five ministries, the officials of the Ministry of Rites are also excluded from the outside.
If it weren't for his good personal relationship with Gu Lao, there might not be any scum left to be eaten.
"Huang Fu!"
The hall where this shout was echoed, and Huang Fu was even more frightened and hurriedly knelt down, and he hurriedly replied, "Minister...... Minister...... The minister is here. ”
"Take care of your own family affairs, this is Pingjing, and the children of the official eunuchs should be no different from the children of ordinary people. ”
"The minister understands!"
Zhao Yan nodded, and the palm print eunuch on the side said in his sharp voice again, "If there is something to play, there is nothing to retreat from!"
In the midst of the retreat, Huang Fu quickly followed Gu Beisha and asked, "Old Gu, what does the Holy Lord mean by what he said to me today, I can't figure it out......."
"It makes no difference whether your pig brain wants to do it or not, I ask you where it is?"
Gu Beisha pointed to the distance, Huang Fu thought for a while and replied, "Pingjing?"
"No, that's the most satisfying masterpiece of His Majesty's life, he doesn't allow his ears to hear all the negative remarks of Pingjing, here is the foot of the Son of Heaven, what do you think can be hidden?"
"Please also ask Gu Lao to make it clear!"
"Go home and ask your little demon king if he is causing trouble again, don't let him be so domineering again, see how you look like your father Huang Zhongbei?"
Gu Beisha waved his hand to signal Huang Fu not to follow, and the latter also bowed to Gu Lao's back, with a handful of goatee, and the right Cheng Hu Gongyu, who always had a straight face, looked at Gu Beisha who came over next to him and asked coldly, "Are you going to teach that fool again?"
"It's just entrusted by my old friend, no one here can touch their Huang family, I just hope that one day I am gone, he can support it. ”
"Hmph, you should have died sooner. ”
"Eh, don't say that, as the prime ministers of the left and right, that is, the right-hand men of His Majesty, we should make good friends. ”
"You're just thinking about my jars of good wine. ”
"Don't say that, your Yunfei also likes to discuss poetry with me, and it's not appropriate for you not to invite me to a drink. ”
Hu Gongyu irritably pushed away Gu Beisha, who was doing things with him, thinking to himself how such a guy could rise all the way and become the left prime minister who commanded hundreds of officials in the year of Ershun?
"If you want to come, you can come, but it's just more than one pair of chopsticks. ”
Gu Beisha smiled and hummed a small tune, "It's rare to have a confidant in life......"
Taishi Academy, aiming to cultivate the best talents in the future of the north, Mu Ne's nerds are not what the strong north really needs, for example, the right prime minister Hu Gongyu is a martial artist, but also single-handedly reformed the military system so that the war with the south for many years has turned decay into a one-sided situation.
Therefore, the Taishi School attaches great importance to the cultivation of physical fitness, and in addition to Mr. Li's teaching, it also has to learn archery and self-defense skills every day.
They were taught by a young man named Shi Kangdang, who had lost his left arm, and it is said that he had been on the battlefield and had one of his arms cut off before returning to Pyongkyo in dishearten.
Although Ji Jiu can't memorize books, he can learn archery and self-defense skills very quickly, and he can hit the bull's-eye within ten steps at the age of eight. The art of self-defense is also practiced in a good way.
"You're amazing!"
Looking at the star-eyed Zhao Shuyun, Ji Jiu rubbed his nose shyly, and said with vanity, "Where, it's very simple, I'll teach you." ”
"Be flat, hands ......"
Ji Jiu hesitated for a moment but still held Zhao Shuyun's white and tender little hand, and after some adjustment, Zhao Shuyun really missed the arrow from the beginning to finally hit the target.
"Yo, Xiao Ji Jiu just started looking for a daughter-in-law for himself at such a young age?" Shi Dangdang walked over happily, rubbing his right hand roughly on Ji Jiu's head.
"Brother Shi, what are you talking nonsense. Ji Jiu's face was flushed, and he was a little happy in his heart.
Zhao Shuyun bowed respectfully, Shi Dangdang nodded and arched down, Ji Jiu said, "Ji Jiu is the best student I have ever taught, it's no problem for you to study hard with him." ”
Before leaving, Shi Dangdang was still proud and made a gesture to Ji Jiu that was okay, Ji Jiu had a feeling of gratitude, and thought that when he had the money in the future, he would definitely take his eldest brother to the best restaurant in Quanpingjing for a hard meal.
During the break, Zhao Shuyun sat next to Ji Jiu, looking at the little face that was particularly dazzling in the sun, Ji Jiu felt at ease for the first time in so many years, and for the first time he had an urge to protect someone.
Shangguan Yulong sat next to Ji Jiu and politely greeted Zhao Shuyun.
"What does Ji Jiu want to do in the future?" Zhao Shuyun's face flushed, he raised his head to enjoy the sunshine, and asked in a joyful tone.
"I don't know yet, but I think I should be able to at least do a job to support my family, I want to be a carp jumping dragon gate, but I really don't have any talent for reading......"
"Don't you want to be a hero?"
"Hero?!" Ji Jiu and Shangguan Yulong looked at each other, it has not been a day or two since the forbidden heroes of the Northern Kingdom, and a large number of Jianghu sects have fallen under the iron horse, and it is really surprising that the dignified little lord of the Northern Royal Family asked such a question.
Zhao Shuyun put his left hand on his cheek and said, "I don't know why I yearn for the so-called rivers and lakes, my parents died early, and I have always lived with the Queen Mother's mother-in-law." Once the palace invited a storyteller, and that was the first time I heard the word jianghu. Think of a horse in white, and it sounds beautiful. ”
Ji Jiu's eyes showed a color that he had never seen before, and he said with a smile: "In the future, I will take you to see the real rivers and lakes." ”
"Huh?" Shangguan Yulong looked at Ji Jiu suspiciously, and suddenly felt that he was a little redundant.
"Really?" Zhao Shuyun's eyebrows were full of smiles, she seemed to have thought of something, and took out a brand-new jade pendant, which was one in a hundred in terms of color and texture.
"I've heard from people in the world that people like to send tokens to each other, and this is what I gave you. ”
Ji Jiu didn't know the value of this jade pendant, so he took out a rusty copper coin and exchanged it for it.
A teenager and a girl exchange hearts on a sunny afternoon.
Young spirit, about that.
