After retreating, Wang Ren began to educate his godson, "It's just a thing outside the body, if you get it, you can get it, why do you have to be so happy? I don't have to make people say that you are frivolous." ”

Wang Ren closed his eyes slightly, although the Li Jiabao knife was something he was determined to obtain, he could not bear to ask more. Wang Li smiled, he had been with his godfather for a long time, and he knew his style best and knew that he was duplicitous.

smiled and said: "It's really a coincidence this time, Li Cheng, the grandson of the Li family, got into a lawsuit in Beijing, and I got this knife from Jingzhao Mansion without much effort." I knew that my godfather's favorite famous knife was because I hurriedly came to report the news, and I wanted to invite my godfather out of the palace to enjoy the play. ”

Wang Ren smiled indifferently: "You have done such a tricky and reckless thing, but will there be trouble? Don't get a knife today, tomorrow the impeachment of you will be in front of your godfather." ”

Mentioning the troubles, Wang Li was a little embarrassed, and only said vaguely: "Li Cheng has been out of luck selling knives, and I also paid a real price of 3,000 taels with him, this person is very sincere, there should be no trouble." ”

Wang Ren was stunned for a moment, and said in a deep voice: "You are usually acting in a domineering manner, since this person has attracted a lawsuit, how can you return the money to him? He beat people on the street, how did Jingzhao Mansion sentence?"

Wang Li didn't expect that his godfather had been in the palace for a long time, and his ears and eyes were so well-informed, and he seemed to know everything about Li Cheng. Originally, for the sake of face, I wanted to hide the passage of Jingzhao Mansion, but now I can't hide it.

I had to laugh dryly: "Li Cheng has a powerful friend who has some face in front of Jingzhao Mansion, so he exonerated him." Therefore I did not force his sword, but they made peace with him, and bought him for three thousand taels."

Wang Ren frowned and asked: "The Li family is full of enemies, and now it is defeated, Li Cheng is short-tempered and arrogant, where do you have any friends? Who is this person?"

Wang Li was stunned, and he didn't know why his godfather didn't care about the treasure knife but cared about these miscellaneous things. He said with a little weakness: "I heard Master Liu of Jingzhao Mansion say that this person's name is Ye Xingyuan, but he is sixteen or seventeen years old, from Dinghu Province, and he is the Xie Yuan of Jinke. On the one hand, it is to enter Beijing to catch the exam, and on the other hand, it is also to enter Dinghu Province Xiangrui to enter Beijing. ”

"Ye Xingyuan?" Wang Ren heard the name, his color changed slightly, and his brows furrowed even tighter. This name has never been heard of by others, and he is the master of ceremonies. He'd heard it several times. The articles of the county test, the government test, and the provincial test are all sealed into Beijing, this kind of person has not been met for thousands of years, he has never forgotten to be knowledgeable, how can he not be impressed?

What's more, Dinghu Province Crow God Xiangrui entered Beijing, and just arrived in Beijing, he reported through the Ministry of Rites.

How could this person get involved? Was he instructed by the governor? Impossible, even if the Li family's affairs were closed in one province, they could not know the details, could it be said that it was completely coincidental? Wang Ren was suspicious by nature. At this critical moment, I dare not ignore any bit of wind and grass.

He was silent for a long time before he slowly spoke: "Good son, you have done something wrong with this matter. ”

Wang Li knelt down, and his godfather never got angry. But once you say that something has gone wrong, you will be very dissatisfied. Although he is confused now, his godfather's insight is never wrong.

"Since Li Cheng has such a friend, you shouldn't ask for his knife; Nor should it be given silver, where is the hatred of treasure grabbing, where can silver be solved. Wang Ren sighed. If you force it on the spot. Don't hesitate to tear your face, maybe you can probe the bottom of the other party, but now the best time has passed.

Wang Rite is a fierce and inward-looking person, although he is showing his teeth and claws outside, he is incompetent and unable to get up, which is really useless. I thought that this matter would come naturally, but I didn't expect it to be a side affair after all.

"You will send the treasure sword back today, prepare another generous gift, and hand over my post, saying that I am not strict in discipline, and it is a big mistake to let you plunder the beauty of others, and I have come to ask for sin. Wang Ren thought about it for a while and made a decision.

Wang Li was surprised and said, "Godfather, don't you send away that treasure knife without looking at it?"

Wang Ren's stern gaze interrupted Wang Li, he didn't dare to say any more, so he had to bow his head and say yes, and retreated, but he was still confused by the second monk. When he walked to the door, he suddenly remembered something, turned his head and asked, "The three thousand taels of silver, are you coming back?"

Wang Ren didn't even look at him, picked up the piece again and watched, and didn't reply. Wang Li understood what his godfather meant, and knew that he should not be petty, but his heart was even more painful, and he left in frustration.

At the same time, Ye Xingyuan also waited for the holy decree in the post house. On November 28, he entered the palace with auspicious offerings.

"This is a deliberate staggered court meeting, it seems that the emperor doesn't like those Qingliu civil officials who chatter and attack, which is also a good thing for the virtuous brother. Tang Shiyan still knows a lot about the gossip of this kind of literati circle, and specially explained to Ye Xingyuan the importance of choosing this day.

In the early years, Emperor Longping would arrange it at the court meeting, and he would reward his ministers in a big way, probably with a show-off mentality. But it's a pity that the civil officials don't appreciate it very much, and they often insist on not accepting the rewards brought by Xiangrui, and every time there must be a large number of imperial history books to oppose it, and the words are sharp.

In this way, once or twice, the emperor was not very troubled, since he was tired of seeing each other, he simply chose to be out of sight, and offered auspicious rui in the palace deer garden, which also facilitated the placement of auspicious things.

After all, there are many auspicious creatures, such as unicorn phoenixes and the like, but it is a pity that this kind of high-grade goods Emperor Longping has not encountered in his reign for decades, and there are only slightly inferior beasts of one level, which live a good life in the deer park.

"It's a good thing to be able to avoid the courtiers. Although this was also expected by Ye Xingyuan, it also made him relieved that it could be realized, although he would not be instigated in the face of the Qingliu ministers, but if it was not necessary, Ye Xingyuan did not want to conflict with the Qingliu who dominated public opinion.

Ye Xingyuan is very practical, and the current reality of the country also determines that he can only adopt a pragmatic attitude, and it is his greatest ideal to reap the benefits from the left and right, and the emperor's arrangement is also quite in line.

Although it is impossible to expect Qingliu to have a good impression of these lucky people, as long as they don't face each other and don't have a conflict, they will be able to see each other in the future.

"But our auspicious is just a stone statue, although the emperor likes these things, but at most he only looks at them twice. If no one makes trouble, we will enter the palace at the hour, deduct the time to wait, and return at noon. "No one attacks it means that there is no excitement, and the emperor's impression may not be deep, Tang Shiyan knows that this is also pros and cons.

The so-called auspicious things collected in various provinces are rare and interesting. Although it is not like Ye Xingyuan's crow god stone statue with positive spiritual sense, at least it is good-looking and fun, and it cannot be said to be able to attract the emperor's interest. The emperor was happy, and the reward was naturally thicker.

And Ye Xingyuan is auspicious and serious, just afraid that he will go to a ceremony. It's good that you don't have to cause more trouble.

Ye Xingyuan said with a smile: "That's not necessarily, the crow god has been lonely for hundreds of years, and he was finally able to face the saint, how can he let it go easily, maybe there will be some after-show." ”

The revival of the Raven God is not just a place that can be satisfied. Since Ye Xingyuan chose to offer auspiciousness, of course he wanted to maximize his benefits. If the Raven God can get more, he can also get more.

Tang Shiyan wiped a cold sweat and reminded: "This is the imperial front, unlike usual, the emperor has a destiny, don't come nonsense." ”

Ye Xingyuan nodded and said, "I have my own measure." ”

Tang Shiyan knew that Ye Xingyuan was young and old, and he was strategizing in Dinghu Province, turning clouds and rain. The ability to see is really not comparable to himself.,Even if it's the emperor.,It's probably able to be at ease.。 Since Ye Xingyuan spoke like this, he must have been sure. and he no longer persuaded.

From the second day, there were palace people who came to the post house to instruct Ye Xingyuan and others on the etiquette in the palace. Although they are recorded in these books, there are details. It is still necessary to be explained everywhere so that we will not make mistakes.

Ye Xingyuan remembered with his heart, and Zhu Ning'er was quite curious. He quietly asked, "What does the lord care about so much? Won't you re-establish the court etiquette in the future? I can't learn such a cumbersome." ”

"Hugh in Beijing is talking nonsense!" Ye Xingyuan hurriedly scolded, this little girl became more and more unscrupulous after entering Beijing, and she didn't listen to what she said. Fortunately, she finally knows the bottom line, so she won't talk nonsense in front of others, otherwise she might be convicted of the great crime of punishing the nine clans one day. It seems that the plan to take Zhu Ning'er into Beijing and explain to her is a complete failure.

Zhu Ning'er pursed her lips and said proudly: "He can take his place"

At this time, Li Cheng came over with his family to thank Ye Xingyuan, and Ye Xingyuan hurriedly covered Zhu Ning'er's mouth, for fear that she would say something shocking.

Li Cheng entered Beijing with his wife, and he was sick a few days ago because he was not accustomed to water and soil, so Ye Xing was far from seeing him. This time, after a fright in Jingzhao Mansion, worried about Li Cheng's safety, Mrs. Li was sweating, but she was much better, and she was able to eat and drink slowly.

On this day, seeing that he could get up, he insisted on following Li Cheng to worship Xie Ye Xingyuan.

Ye Xingyuan didn't have much experience in dealing with friends and family members, so he only took a cursory look and felt that this Mrs. Li was very beautiful. Although he is recovering from a serious illness, he is still delicate and timid, and he is romantic, which does not match Li Cheng's rough appearance.

Zhu Ning'er came over again and said: "There is a wife in the family, but I am afraid that there will be worries when I act, since the lord has been loyal to Li Yuan, this sick and weak woman can't stay." ”

Ye Xingyuan hurriedly blasted Zhu Ning'er away, lest she talk nonsense all day long.

Mrs. Li saluted respectfully and said sincerely: "I should have come to thank you that day, but the little woman couldn't get up from the sick bed, and I came to see Engong when she got a little better today, and I just hope that Engong will not be surprised." ”

Ye Xingyuan hurriedly asked Li Cheng to help her up, "Where did Mrs. Sister-in-law come from, I didn't do anything about this matter." In short, it was Brother Li's sword that caused trouble, but it was also ended because of the knife. ”

Mrs. Li wept and said: "This heirloom knife is the lifeblood of my father-in-law, every time I dream back at midnight, I see him stroking the knife and sighing to the moon, and now that I have lost this knife, I am only afraid that he has fallen into the root of the disease in his heart." ”

Li Cheng heard her speak like this, and hurriedly stopped: "In front of Engong, what are you talking about? A knife is nothing but a foreign object, and if you lose it, you will lose it."

Before he finished speaking, he saw Teng Tengteng, the owner of the post house, rushing in from the door, and rushed to Ye Xingyuan with a flattering face, "Master Ye, the master of ceremonies and the prince has sent you a gift!

What kind of character is Wang Ren, the master of ceremonies, and how can he easily give a post to ordinary people? This also apologizes and gives gifts, what is the origin of this master who lives in the post house, and he has such a majestic style? The owner of the post house only feels that he has too late to make a sycophant. (To be continued......)
