"Da Zhai Ji" is the standard official building pattern of the former government office and the rear house. The first, second and third courtyards are government offices, and the fourth courtyard is a big house. When the comfort envoy was in Guiyang, this is where he and his family lived. place to live.
Because this is An's official office, even An Nantian or Zhan Ning'er, it is not convenient to live in when the head of An's family, Mrs. An, does not live here, so An's family bought another big house in Guiyang City. Vacant up.
In this way, the An family did not pay much attention to the repair and maintenance of the big house, so the traces of man-made craftsmanship in the garden of the back house are very faint, and every flower, grass, tree and tree is full of wildness. Even the pavilions, terraces and pavilions dotted around are covered with ivy.
Next to a small pavilion covered with ivy, there is a lake of flowing water, so it is very clear. Aquatic plants and reeds grow in a mess on the shore of the lake. From time to time, a few fat fish will jump up on the water surface and make a "boom" again. smashed into the water.
A little doll wearing crotch pants stared at a pair of big black eyes, and was poking and poking among the aquatic plants by the lake with a reed pole. Unexpectedly, a big fish jumped up, which made him make a strange cry of "Wow", and turned around. Just run away, and throw away the reeds.
Sitting in the small pavilion was an old man, wearing a gray robe, with white hair tied into a bun, with only a wooden hairpin inserted, and a shiny cane stick in his hand. Just ran, and couldn't help laughing.
The child threw himself into his arms, kicked and kicked like a little monkey, first climbed onto his lap, then put his arms around his neck, panting and calling: "Grandpa, big fish, what a big fish!" , it's scary."
The old man laughed heartily and said, "That big fish won't eat you, what are you afraid of?"
The child snuggled into his arms and said: "The big fish jumps out and scares people, is it because they are afraid?"
The old man said with a smile: "Then you have to practice your courage. The son of our An family must not be a coward."
At this time, An Nantian walked slowly, seeing the grandparents and grandson getting bored with each other, he stopped with a smile, leaned forward and said, "Grandpa!"
As soon as the child turned his head and saw that it was An Nantian, he immediately twisted his little buttocks and rubbed down from the old man's arms. As soon as his feet touched the ground, he opened his arms and rushed towards An Nantian, shouting happily: "Brother, the water was so big just now!" It's scary for a fish to jump so high!"
An Nantian bent down, picked him up with a laugh, and said, "Xiao Shiliu, is that fish really big? Then you should grow up quickly. When you grow up, take the big fish that frightened you Grab it with your own hands and eat it!"
"Um!"
The child nodded vigorously: "Yes! Eat the big bad fish that scares the baby and practice your courage!"
An Nantian turned to the old man with a smile, and said, "Grandpa, Cousin Ning'er is back, it seems that she is not in a good mood."
The old man's snow-white longevity eyebrows frowned lightly, and said: "Then girl, do you really like Ye Xiaotian?"
An Nantian sighed: "I'm afraid it is. I can't see that besides being handsome, that kid has other advantages. But if it is handsome, there are not many young men who are handsome and handsome among the wealthy families in Shuixi?"
The old man said indifferently: "It doesn't matter if you don't see it, but you can't make him worthless. Remember, a person favored by more than one person must have his strengths. If you can't see it, it's just a matter of your vision." .”
An Nantian said solemnly: "Yes! Grandson is taught!"
Xiao Shiliu was impatient to listen to their grown-up words, so he slipped down from his arms, took his hand and said, "Brother, accompany me to catch fish!"
An Nantian coaxed him: "You go, brother is watching here, if any fish dares to bully you, brother will beat it hard!"
Xiao Shiliu felt relieved when he heard this, agreed, picked up the reed stick, and ran to the lake excitedly.
The old man said: "Ye Xiaotian went to the Juren examination?"
When he asked this question, An Nantian could not help smiling, and said: "Yes! Li Zhongyin, the teacher of Tongren Prefecture, failed to win a scholar for five years, and was reprimanded by Xuezheng. In desperation, he resorted to fraud He, who would have guessed that Zhang Duo's idiot really thought he was talented and learned, and insisted on asking him to participate in the tribute exam, and wanted Ye Xiaotian to take another exam to prove that he had made great achievements in educating Tongren!"
The old man narrowed his eyes slightly, stroked his beard and smiled, "Hehe, it's customary for His Holiness to travel around the world, but now he has traveled to the officialdom. This is the first time since thousands of years? It's interesting to hide in the imperial court."
An Nantian said: "Grandpa, I don't think he wants to live in seclusion, he just doesn't like living in the mountains."
The old man laughed dumbly, and said: "Which young man likes to live in the deep mountains? Beauty and beauty are indeed a great temptation for young people, but once they can get what they want, they will find that it is actually nothing more than that. The temptations of life are far more than that." here."
An Nantian frowned and said: "If he travels around the world and doesn't see Ning'er for a long time, Ning'er's thoughts will fade over time, but he stays in Guizhou to hang out, it's hard to say. Grandpa also knew that the girl Ning'er had been stubborn since she was a child, and what she was looking for rarely changed.
That Xu Boyi back then, I don’t think Ning’er was fascinated by him at all, but by his talent and demeanor. In fact, he was still very ignorant, but this time is different. If Ning’er refuses to give up... Ye Xiaotian Twenty years later But those who have to return to the mountain, when the time comes..."
The old man raised his white eyebrows and said calmly: "Rules are set by people. If you are the one who sets the rules, you don't have to follow the rules yourself! If you don't have that ability, you naturally have to abide by the rules set by others for you!"
When the old man said these words, his white eyebrows were slightly raised, and he had a look of contempt towards his face. Only then did you realize his extraordinaryness, and just now, he seemed to be just a spoiled brat. Just ordinary old people.
An Nantian asked suspiciously: "So, for Ning'er and Ye Xiaotian... grandpa is happy to see it happen?"
The old man laughed dumbly and said: "How can I have the time to care about the affairs between these young children? Let her father worry about this kind of thing, I was thinking, if a venerable Gu Shen sect passed the exam , and then became an official, what kind of impact will it have on the structure of Guizhou."
An Nantian was startled, and lost his voice: "Grandpa means..."
The old man smiled faintly, and said, "Take Shiliu to play, I have to think about it!"
An Nantian leaned back and said, "Yes!"
An Nantian called the sixteenth brother, whispered something to him, and did not know what he promised. The little guy happily took his hand and walked away. The old man took a fishing rod from the side post and skillfully put it on. He flicked the bait lightly into the water, and stared into thought...
…
When Xu Boyi walked into Tian Miaoji's study room and bowed to salute behind the curtain, he couldn't help feeling a little nervous. In fact, he has not come to see Tian Miaowen once or twice. It is reasonable to say that he should be familiar with it, but every time he comes here and sees the person behind the curtain, he will still be nervous.
Tian Miaowen's mind is too shrewd, her eyes are too sharp, and her words are also very sharp. After getting along with her for a long time, Xu Boyi's nervousness will not disappear because of familiarity, but it will become a little more serious. Tian Miaowen's pleasant voice came from behind the curtain: "How did you do in the exam this time?"
Xu Boyi hurriedly bowed his head and said, "This time there are only ten questions in the tribute test, which in Xu's opinion are relatively simple, I believe you should answer well."
"Hehe, if you say it's good, then it's actually very good?"
"哗啦" there was a sound from the curtain cage, Tian Miaowen picked up the curtain cage and came out from behind. Xu Boyi's heart was suddenly excited, since he came to Tian's house, this was the first time he was so close to the eldest lady, and this time he could finally see the true face of Miss Tian.
Xu Boyi really wanted to raise his head, but his neck was a little stiff, and he couldn't lift it up abruptly. When he saw a white skirt floating in front of him like a cloud, and the pointed boots under the skirt were faintly visible, he couldn't help but backed away. He took a step, bowed and said, "Miss!"
Tian Miaowen's aura is so strong that Xu Boyi wanted to see her true face even in his dreams, but at this moment Tian Miaowen was right in front of him, and he could see it as long as he raised his head, so he didn't dare to raise his head. Tian Miaowen said indifferently: "There is no need to be polite, just raise your head."
"yes!"
Xu Boyi agreed, and slowly raised his head, he couldn't help being disappointed, Tian Miaoji did come out from behind the curtain, but she still wore a "light dew" on her head, and the hanging black veil covered her face, only Bai Nen The clean, curved lower jaw can be seen.
However, if you look closely, that layer of tulle can't completely cover Tian Miaowen's appearance after all, especially the indescribable tenderness of her skin, which is more obvious under the black gauze, so you can vaguely see her appearance clearly. I don't know how many times clearer it is to see flowers through the curtain and fog.
Just looking at it, even Xu Boyi, who has never been obsessed with female sex, but is only keen on power and position, couldn't help but his heart skipped a beat. She has a face like a duck egg, fair and moist skin, a straight and small nose, and those eyes especially have a very special taste.
Everyone has facial features, but they are only slightly different, and they are combined to form all phenomena in the world. This woman's appearance is very personal. Her appearance... makes people feel an urge to ravage her. Fortunately, she was born in the Tian family and has a noble status, otherwise, with her amorous temperament, I don't know how many big people will compete for it, and she must have a taste of Fangze to fulfill her wish.
Xu Boyi was still rational, but after a moment of distraction, he quickly lowered his head and his heart was beating wildly: "I think that King Lanling was soft and beautiful back then, and it was difficult to control him with dignity, so he often wore a ferocious ghost face to fight the enemy. Now this I'm afraid that's the case for Miss Tian, how can she control her appearance? No wonder she always refuses to see people with her true colors, alas! In fact, what kind of scheming and wisdom does such a woman need? It’s overwhelming, ouch! I didn’t act rude just now, did I?”
Tian Miaowen smiled slightly, and said: "This time, in order to get one more quota for the Tian family, I didn't reserve a quota for you. Instead, I released you to compete with those scholars. But you are full of knowledge, but you don't need this special care.
Although Juren has the qualifications to be an official, in fact, unless he has a good background, it is rare for him to be an official directly, and it is even less likely to be promoted to a high-ranking official. But with the support of my Tian family, these are not problems. You just do things well. I will arrange it for you. "
Xu Boyi sniffed the faint fragrance, looked at his nose and heart with his eyes, and replied sincerely: "Yes!"
Tian Miaowen added: "Recently, Cui Xiangsheng, a great Confucian from the south of the Yangtze River, will come to Guiyang. He is from the same school as the inspector Wang Haoming. You might as well pay a visit. If you can get Mr. Cui's appreciation, it will be of great benefit to your career!"
Xu Boyi said again: "Yes!"
The two talked for a few more words, Xu Boyi looked at his face, and before Tian Miaowen offered to see off the guest, he bid farewell to her, and when he left Tian Miaowen's study, Xu Boyi was greatly relieved, suddenly In the meantime, he was no longer so confident about the rumors about Lian Xie Ji Kefu: "Such a woman is hard to hold back through the 'shallow dew'. If you really marry her as a wife, share the same bed and touch skin , how can I still control it? When the time comes, it will be really difficult for a man to live a long life... "
Thinking of this, Xu Boyi couldn't help showing a lewd smile on his face.
Tian Miaowen approached Xu Boyi today, just to express to him that he has officially accepted him as one of his own, but she doesn't know what lewd thoughts Xu Boyi is thinking at the moment. As soon as Xu Boyi left, she walked to the wall, pressed lightly on the shelf, and a map of Guizhou fell down on the wall.
Tian Miaowen looked at the map and began to think about where Xu Boyi should go after he was elected. On the map, the chieftains of all parties and the forces of the imperial court are marked with lines of different colors. Tian Miaowen stared at it for a long time, and slowly landed on the northern end of the only post road that runs through the north and south of Guizhou: Huxian County!
