How can I know? Ancestral fortune-telling? Turtle shell divination
Huaiyu thought for a while in silence, but decided to put on an unfathomable expression, imitating Jiang Xuanjin's tone and said in a cold voice: "How do I know, is it important?"
Liu Yunlie was a little annoyed, his temper was well known to all civil and military courts, few people dared to confront him head-on, even Lord Ziyang gave him three points. The person in front of him is really nice, if he stopped him without saying anything, and his words were so contradictory, if he really put up with it today, where would he put his face in the news
Clenching his fists, Liu Yunlie said: "If Madam insists on blocking, please forgive me for the collision."
As he said that, using his hand as a bow, he immediately opened his posture.
Huaiyu was a little excited when she saw this posture. Liu Yunlie was a military commander, and he took a fierce way. When she was practicing martial arts before, Wu often asked her to practice with Liu Yunlie, because she practiced softness, and she was best at using skillful strength Ke Gang. But at the beginning, because of her status, no matter how provocative she was, Liu Yunlie would not fight her. Unexpectedly, a good opportunity came now.
"Bah bah" spit on his hand twice, Huaiyu cupped his hands at him: "Please!"
Really hit? Chengxu Yufeng who was next to him was startled, and hurried up to stop him: "Madam, Master Liu, absolutely not!"
"Don't make noise!" Huaiyu scolded in a low voice, and turned her head to look at the main building behind her, her eyes were full of determination and affection.
Chengxu and Yufeng shut up, both of them felt a little bit emotional, their master is clearly Lord Ziyang, who is under one person and above ten thousand people, but in the eyes of his wife, he has become a person who needs to be protected and loved What
Of course, Liu Yunlie's main purpose was not to fight with women, he kept his eyes on the main building behind him, and he just wanted to get rid of this man and charge up before he could make a move.
However, Li Huaiyu didn't give him this chance at all, and just went up with a savage snake out of the hole, forcing him to take two steps back.
"You..." What is this number? It's too wild!
Huaiyu grinned and wiped the tip of his nose with his thumb. Avoid his powerful moves and take advantage of the opportunity to sneak up on him.
Liu Yunlie was very annoyed to see this kind of quack style of play. After you came and I made ten moves, he couldn't get out of her encirclement, he couldn't help becoming anxious, and he didn't care about his identity, so he attacked suddenly and mercilessly.
Huaiyu fought and retreated at the same time, and gradually became a little bit too much. Bai Zhuji's body is too weak, she can resist so many moves, it's all because of remembering the previous moves and adding some sneaky tricks, and the moves she uses can only scare people, I'm afraid if she really hits It doesn't hurt either.
Seeing that Liu Yunlie was about to approach the main building, Huaiyu gritted her teeth and tried to attack him even if she punched him.
"Ma'am, be careful!" Chengxu couldn't help shouting.
Huaiyu's leg swept across to Liu Yunlie's knee, and Liu Yunlie's fist was about to land on her shoulder. Comparing the two sides, even if it was an equal move, Huaiyu would suffer if it fell.
Liu Yunlie thought about it, even if it's not good to spread the word with a woman, he has to teach this person a lesson today, otherwise if she is so domineering, Xuan Jin will definitely be the one to suffer.
However, his fist failed to land.
In a blink of an eye, the door of the main building behind him suddenly opened, and someone flew out and punched him with such force that his hands were numb. At the same time, his lower body was also defeated, his knees bent, Liu Yunlie staggered half a step, and his body tilted in embarrassment.
Huaiyu didn't react a little bit, she was ready to receive the punch, but she didn't expect to be pulled by someone when there was an explosion in her ear.
"Stand at the back." Jiang Xuanjin's voice was very hoarse, but his tone was terrifying.
Huaiyu raised her head, and saw him walking towards Liu Yunlie, and made a move involuntarily.
"Xuan Jin!" Liu Yunlie widened his eyes to resist, "It's me!"
Jiang Xuanjin's face was gloomy, and she raised her eyes to look at him, her attack remained undiminished, she parried him twice, and punched him in the chest. Before he could react, he turned around and kicked him hard on the right shoulder again.
The shot was extremely heavy, without any sympathy left.
Liu Yunlie was stunned, and after he was stunned, he realized that this person was really angry, so he tried his best to fight back.
"Master, calm down!" Chengxu and Yufeng both came up, each stopped the other, and urged each other urgently.
Jiang Xuanjin half-closed his eyes, his anger was gone, and he pushed Chengxu away and continued to fight. However, another hand came across from the side, and it softly penetrated into his palm and clasped him.
After a slight pause, Jiang Xuanjin frowned and turned his head: "You also want to persuade me?"
Huaiyu grinned until his brows were invisible, so he didn't care about persuading him or not, he grabbed him and stared at him and said, "Why are you so powerful! You look so good when you fight! I just saw your flying I really feel like a fairy has descended from the world!"
Descend la-la-la-
The small ending sound full of love echoed throughout the Moju, washing away the originally tense atmosphere.
The muscles on Liu Yunlie's face twitched, he really wanted to say that this lady is really courageous, how dare she provoke Jiang Xuanjin when she was angry? And say these nonsensical...
However, the person who was originally full of hostility really calmed down after being held by her for such a shake.
"Where is the injury?" Jiang Xuanjin tilted her head and asked her angrily.
Huaiyu smiled and compared to him his arm which was stronger than her own: "I'm very strong, I'm not hurt!"
He stretched out his hand and pinched her arm, then looked him up and down twice, his eyebrows relaxed, and his expression softened.
Huaiyu touched his face distressedly: "It still woke you up, are you tired? Go back and sleep for a while?"
"No need." Lowering his head and letting her touch her, Jiang Xuanjin said, "I couldn't sleep well today, and it's TOEFL to be able to rest for so long."
"Blessed by whom?" Huaiyu raised her eyebrows and smiled ambiguously, trying to trick him into calling "Ma'am" again.
However, Jiang Xuanjin was not fooled, and pushed her towards the main building with a soft snort: "Go and rest for a while."
Liu Yunlie stood by the side and stared dumbfounded, until Jiang Xuanjin sent the person back to the main building and returned to him, he couldn't recover a bit: "You..."
Standing in front of him with hands behind his back, Jiang Xuanjin looked coldly: "Master Liu, what is your intention to break into my Moju and hurt my wife?"
Liu Yunlie wanted to say, I didn't hurt your wife! But looking at the expression of the person in front of him, he bowed his head resignedly and saluted: "It's the lower official who was reckless and was in a hurry. Tomorrow, I will prepare a generous gift to apologize to Mrs. Jun. But I really have something to ask Your Majesty when I come here today."
Jiang Xuanjin turned sideways and welcomed him to the side hall.
The couple took turns, but he still couldn't step into the main building. Liu Yunlie was in a complicated mood, sitting in the side hall and said in a deep voice, "Does your lord know about the recent rumors in court?"
Jiang Xuanjin served strong tea: "My lord, please tell me."
"Your Majesty took action against Li Feng and saved Xu Xian." Liu Yunlie was slightly annoyed, "This kind of behavior is tantamount to telling the entire government and the public that Lord Ziyang is partial to the eldest princess! The eldest princess passed away for nearly two months. Yu Shi still hasn't been eradicated completely, many people are devoting their minds to this, your lord is good, it's fine if you don't help, but you are still against us?"
Hearing this, Jiang Xuanjin was a little puzzled: "Li Feng practiced bribery and corruption. Is it fake?"
Liu Yunlie paused: "No."
"Then Xu Xian really took 200,000 taels of bribes?"
"...nor."
"Since it's not true, what did you say to me today?" Jiang Xuanjin was displeased, "Master Liu, when did you start not to distinguish between good and evil, right and wrong, and only look at the party's position?"
Liu Yunlie was startled, and then frowned: "But... I always feel that your recent actions are too unusual. If it wasn't your intention, it was someone else who lured you here on purpose."
Others lead him? Jiang Xuanjin chuckled: "Who can attract me when I do things? If what I do is right, why not be attracted?"
These words were upright and upright, and Liu Yunlie was very annoyed when he said them, and he couldn't refute them at all.
Huaiyu lay on the bed in the main room with her eyes closed and meditating.
After being in contact with Jiang Xuanjin for so long, she decided to believe that this person really didn't mean to frame her. As for the imperial decree and poisoned wine, there must be someone behind the scenes and let him do it on purpose.
So, who is the person behind this? What is An's mind if she can play with Princess Danyang and Lord Ziyang together and applaud her without them noticing? What role did Liu Yunlie play in this
Thinking about a lot of things made her face tense and her expression very serious.
However, as soon as she heard the door open, she instantly turned into a really deep sleep appearance.
"Tired?" Someone came to sit by the bed and asked her softly.
Li Huaiyu yawned and opened his eyes, and stretched out his hand to pull him with a smile: "I'm not tired!"
Jiang Xuanjin looked down at her, her eyes were unclear, and she didn't know what she was thinking. Huaiyu blinked, her heart was a little tight, she quickly pulled him down to lie down, and hugged him by the waist: "Do you have something to ask me?"
"Um."
"Then you ask, and I will answer honestly!"
"Who taught you martial arts?" He asked in a muffled voice.
Huaiyu rubbed against his chest with a smile: "Do you think I'm martial arts? I can do a few tricks like a three-legged cat. I don't have any internal strength, and my body is like a bamboo."
As she said that, she put her wrist into his hand, allowing him to explore very generously.
For those who practice martial arts, the bones and meridians will be stronger than ordinary people, and the pulse will be clear and powerful. And this Bai Zhuji, not to mention strong, was so weak that he could suffer another serious illness at any time, his palm was soft, and he didn't have calluses at all.
Jiang Xuanjin felt that she was worrying too much, this girl was just smarter, her body is really not good at martial arts.
"Then how dare you stop Liu Yunlie?" He pursed his lips, "Aren't you afraid of getting hurt?"
Huaiyu touched his eyebrows and smiled: "I love you so much, I want you to sleep more, even if the king of heaven comes, I have to stop him!"
"... I don't need your protection."
"Whether you need it or not is one thing, but whether I want to protect it or not is another." She stared into his eyes and said very seriously, "You have never liked anyone, so you don't know this feeling. Even if it is A firefly likes to go to the moon, and it wants to give it all its light."
It doesn't matter how powerful the person you like is, it's a beating heart.
Jiang Xuanjin was stunned when she heard this, touched her soft hair with her hand, and couldn't help but twist it lightly: "You man, why do you talk so much every day?"
Huaiyu raised his eyebrows: "Do you think I think about it? Is it because you don't talk much? If I don't say something for you, how uncomfortable it will be for you!"
"Nonsense again."
"Who's talking nonsense? Don't you really want to tell me that you like me too?" She said seriously, "But if you can't tell, then I can only say a few more words to you."
"Jiang Jie, I like you!" His brows and eyes curved down, and his smile turned into a crescent moon again.
Jiang Xuanjin closed her eyes, reached out and pressed her head to her chest, and said in a muffled voice, "Shut up."
Following his strength, she rubbed against his chest, Huaiyu giggled, hugged him softly and did not let go. Feeling the rare warmth in this man, the joy of harvest in her heart couldn't help but burst out.
It is very difficult to tempt Jiang Xuanjin, but once he is tempted, everything becomes easy.
"By the way, is your second brother going to participate in the election?" She pretended to ask casually.
Jiang Xuanjin gave a low "hmm".
"Then I'll make some snacks tomorrow and send them to their yard." Huaiyu said, "The second sister-in-law came over today and sent two plates of delicious melon seed cakes."
Second sister-in-law? Jiang Xuanjin paused, as if thinking for a while before remembering such a person, and whispered: "If you want to give it away, then give it away."
"I heard that the second sister-in-law is from the Xu family." She muttered in a low voice, "She looks like a pretty girl, but why doesn't she seem to be liked by others?"
Jiang Xuanjin said: "It's not that people don't like it, it's just that the second brother doesn't like it. He's always been partial to beauty."
Obviously, Xu Chuniang is not attractive.
Huaiyu frowned: "Then why is he marrying someone else? The Xu family is a big family anyway, and my daughter can't marry a good one?"
If someone else came to talk to Jiang Xuanjin about this. He must have been so bored that he didn't bother to answer a word. But listening to the chatter of the person in his arms, he found it very interesting, so he couldn't help answering: "Second brother was also forced to marry second sister-in-law back then."
Looking up unhappily, Huaiyu narrowed his eyes: "What is 'also'?"
Rubbing along her hair to appease her dissatisfaction, he continued: "Second brother has had a concubine since he was sixteen, but he still doesn't want to set up a concubine when he is twenty, saying that he is afraid of the concubine's concubine. Bullied his room full of beauties. No matter how beautiful the matchmaker praised the lady of the opposite family, he would not nod."
When Jiang Shen met Xu Chuniang for the first time, he stared at his face with disgust for a long time, but after getting along for a day, Jiang Shen came back excitedly and said to Jiang Xuanjin: "I have found someone who can be my wife! "
Jiang Xuanjin was still young at the time, looked at him for no reason, and heard his second elder brother say shamelessly: "You have to have this kind of person who is not good-looking but has a good temper. He will not be jealous or frame him. Anyway. She is not worthy of me at all, and she would be grateful to be able to enter my door, so how could she bully my beauty?"
The corners of Huaiyu's mouth twitched: "So he married his second sister-in-law as a display?"
Jiang Xuanjin nodded: "Second sister-in-law rarely leaves the yard."
so poor? Huaiyu was speechless. Rolling his eyes, he said, "Then I'll go see her tomorrow!"
The daughter's family is soft-hearted, and it is easy to sympathize with someone who is not doing well. Jiang Xuanjin didn't think much about it, just rubbed her chin against the top of her head, lowered her eyes very sleepily, and slowly fell into a dream.
In the dream, he was climbing on a high cliff, struggling to climb up, but while climbing, someone suddenly stretched out his hand towards him.
"Catch me." The man shouted with a smile, the palm he handed over was warm and soft.
He was dazed, subconsciously grasped it, and was easily pulled up by her. However, when she was about to fly to the top, she turned her head, and her voice was suddenly cold: "Do you really think I want to save you?"
The hand was released suddenly, his pupils constricted, and the whole person couldn't stop falling into the abyss quickly——
Suddenly opened his eyes and woke up, Jiang Xuanjin frowned.
The feeling of weightlessness seemed to be still there, and he stretched out his hand to cover his dull chest. His face was ugly.
"Master?" Chengxu fetched water and put it beside him, and pulled back the bed curtain for him, "Have you had a nightmare?"
Looking up at the room, Jiang Xuanjin frowned: "It's dawn?"
"Yes." Chengxu nodded, "You slept very well this time."
It was unbelievable to sleep for a full ten hours.
"What about her?"
"Madam has already gone to Shaohua Courtyard, and I told my subordinates to make you drink some porridge when you wake up." Chengxu answered bravely, secretly glancing at his master's expression from the corner of his eyes.
It's really... When he opened his eyes and couldn't see his wife, he lost his temper, and the look in his eyes was heavy.
Chengxu couldn't help feeling a little resentful, why did Madam leave in such a hurry? It would be nice to stay for a while and wait for the master to wake up before leaving.
Huaiyu was already sitting in the main hall of Shaohua Academy, when Xu Chunyong saw her coming, his wrinkled face instantly relaxed, and he said very happily: "My brother and sister are interested."
"I heard that the second brother is going to participate in the election, so this is just a token of my heart." Huaiyu looked around and asked her, "Where is the second brother?"
Speaking of this, Xu Chuning's eyes dimmed again, and he lowered his eyes and said: "He has been in a bad mood these days, and he always listens to music in the side room."
Jiang Xuanjin forced him to choose an official position like a duck on the shelf, and he was in a good mood. Huaiyu secretly smiled. He asked her again: "In the opinion of the second sister-in-law, can the second brother be selected this time?"
Xu Chunian nodded again and again: "If you take the test seriously, you will certainly be able to! His articles are first-class well written. I have read many of them. Although some of them are written by anger for a while, they are really literary when they are peaceful. Remarkable!"
This man boasted about his husband and son-in-law without ambiguity, Huaiyu couldn't help teasing her when she heard this: "But the selection of an official cannot be done solely by literary talent."
"He's more than literary!" Xu Chuyong said anxiously, "Many articles are also quite insightful!"
"Really?" Huaiyu sighed regretfully, "I don't know what he wrote yet."
As soon as he said this, Xu Chuniang got up and came to pull her: "Brothers and sisters follow me!"
Huaiyu obediently followed her, and went out of the main hall to the study on the side.
Xu Chuniang was looking for articles on the bookshelf with great interest. Standing by the desk, she casually looked around and saw a seal placed randomly, with Jiang Shen's name and name engraved on it.
This thing is very important, and it must be printed on the answer sheet when selecting an official for verification of identity. But Jiang Shen was so casually left outside, obviously he didn't take the selection of an official seriously at all.
Slightly hooked lips. Huaiyu flicked his sleeves and put the thing into his arms.
Xu Chuniong found a few bound books, and happily turned around and handed them to her: "Look, these are all written by him."
His tone was full of pride.
Huaiyu took it and flipped through it casually, nodded in praise and said, "It's really good, the second sister-in-law only found out about this after she got married?"
Xu Chuyong shook his head, and said a little shyly, "I read his articles since I was sixteen, and I have always admired him. It is my luck to be able to marry him later."
It turned out to be like this? Huaiyu blinked, remembering Jiang Xuanjin's thoughts about the Second Young Master Jiang, and couldn't help but sigh: "It's his luck that he can marry you."
Xu Chuniang was very embarrassed when he said this, and he waved his hands again and again: "My brother and sister are too good, I... I have nothing to do, he... he is very good!"
He is not good at words, he speaks hesitantly, but the light in his eyes is very bright, like the first rays of sunshine at dawn, which makes people feel warmer.
Li Huaiyu smiled, thinking that if he likes someone, eyes can tell the truth.
So when Jiang Xuanjin returned home in the afternoon, when he entered the door, he saw her staring at him eagerly.
"What?" He was puzzled.
Huaiyu said, "Look at me seriously! Do you see what's in my eyes?"
Jiang Xuanjin stared at her blankly for a while, then suddenly took a handkerchief and stretched it over, wiped the corners of her eyes, and shook her head in disgust: "It's so dirty."
"..." Angrily knocking off the handkerchief in his hand, Huaiyu said, "I told you to look at my eyes, not this one!"
What's wrong with your eyes? Jiang Xuanjin was puzzled, and looked carefully at what she said, and slowly found circles of affection in her eyes, shining like a gurgling stream with peach blossoms in March.
Pursing his lips, he said, "Are you in a hurry?"
Can't see it? Huaiyu's face collapsed, and she turned her head in self-reflection. As expected, she was still not good enough. She should learn more from Xu Chuning's gaze in the mirror, it would definitely make his heart move at a glance!
"I've been waiting for you here for a long time." She flattened her lips, "I wait for you every day except eating and sleeping. Can you not be free?"
After talking about it, he looked aggrieved.
Jiang Xuanjin thought for a while and asked her, "Do you want to go out for a walk?"
As soon as his eyes lit up, Huaiyu jumped up: "Yes, yes! I heard that there are many people in Kyoto recently, and it is lively!"
People from all over the place to participate in the selection of officials have come to the capital, can there not be many people? Jiang Xuanjin doesn't like to be lively, he likes to stay in the house and not go anywhere every time he goes to court, but seeing her looking like she is about to suffocate, he purses his lips, turns around and walks out.
Li Huaiyu was very excited, and asked him as soon as he got in the car: "Can we go to the Academy of Arts?"
The blue veins on the forehead twitched, Jiang Xuanjin said: "Can't you choose a place with fewer people?"
The Academy of Arts is currently the most crowded, and half of the people rushing to take the exam buy the Four Treasures of the Study there.
"Ah, but I like a lot of people." She glanced at him, a little frustrated, "Then... go to the suburbs to see flowers?"
With an annoyed sideways glance at her, Jiang Xuanjin said, "Forget it, just go to the Academy of Arts. If you want to buy something, just go down and squeeze by yourself. I won't get out of the car."
As Lord Ziyang, is it really worth getting out of the car? Recognized by sharp-eyed people, you have to get stuck in the crowd and can't get it out! Huaiyu nodded understandingly, turned around and smiled again, happily holding his hand and playing with his fingers.
"Take it easy outside." He frowned, "Always gossiping, what are you talking about?"
When Huaiyu heard this, she turned her head and asked him, "Before I married you, did I also gossip outside?"
"Are you still willing to say?"
"That's right, I can flirt and flirt if I'm not married to you, so why not let it go when I'm married?" Huaiyu said straightforwardly, "Isn't getting married just to make flirting reasonable?"
"..." He really didn't think this was the reason for getting married.
"If you are really embarrassed, then I want to flirt with you in the future, so I can hide it, like this!" Said while sitting beside him, Huaiyu stretched out his hand, clasped his hand, and then held his hand Pulling the wide sleeves over and covering them, he raised his eyebrows and asked, "How?"
The sleeves embroidered with silver moiré patterns looked very elegant and well-behaved, but the hand under the sleeves hooked him and scratched his palm playfully for a while. Then he opened his fingers and overlapped with hers one by one.
Jiang Xuanjin's body froze: "Release."
"No one will see it, why loose?" Huaiyu didn't respond and held him tightly. But after grabbing for a while, he felt a little wet in his palm.
"Huh?" She asked him curiously, "Are you hot?"
The person in front of him sat upright against the wall of the car, looked straight ahead, and said indifferently, "It's not hot."
Just feeling the warmth and softness of her palm and remembering the terrible dream I had last night.
"Are you really not letting go?" He asked again in a low voice, as if he was asking himself.
Huaiyu heard it, and with a big smile on his face, he replied loudly and firmly: "Not loose!"
The dark and deep Mo pupils lit up brightly after being excited by these two words.
The Academy of Arts arrived soon, and when Huaiyu was about to get out of the car, she realized that she couldn't let go of her hand. She wanted to get off, but the person in the car didn't want to get off.
So she turned her head and whispered, "I'll go shopping and I'll be back, okay?"
The face that had softened just now suddenly became tense again. Jiang Xuanjin looked down at her hand and said nothing.
Huaiyu didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Then you go with me?"
He still didn't say anything. The slender hand gently hooked her, neither closing nor letting go.
Huaiyu was helpless, pinched his wrist with one hand, and slowly broke free with the other hand, then stuffed his hand into his sleeve and put it away: "Wait for me to come back!"
After finishing speaking, he quickly got out of the car and led Lingxiu into the crowd.
Jiang Xuanjin frowned, looking at the shaking car curtain, a little annoyed: "Cheng Xu."
The people outside responded, "Master?"
"Don't wait for her, let's go."
"This..." Chengxu was stunned, why did his master lose his temper again
Lifting the curtain of the car, he asked cautiously, "Is it really not waiting?"
"She doesn't mean anything, why should I wait?" Jiang Xuanjin said with a sullen face, "Leave immediately!"
"… yes."
Li Huaiyu walked towards the literary academy with hesitant turns, not knowing that the little princess behind her lost her temper again, she only pinched the seal in her sleeve pocket, asked Lingxiu to wait for her at the door, and then plunged in.
"What would you like to order?" the handsome waiter saw the guest and asked without raising his head.
Huaiyu looked at him, a little surprised: "Why are you here?"
Bai Ai, who lowered her head, was taken aback for a moment, and suddenly raised her eyes. Take a breath: "Dian..."
"The store is out of stock?" Li Huaiyu interrupted him as soon as he opened his mouth.
"Ah... yes, the rice paper that the guest officer wants has to be taken from the storeroom." Looking around, Bai Ai turned sideways, "You can take it later."
Huaiyu nodded, followed her with her skirt up, the people around were bustling, and no one paid attention to her.
Bai Ai led her to the backyard and said, "Your Highness, shopkeeper Lu has been trying to contact you these days, and he will be elected as an official soon."
"I know." Huaiyu nodded, "So I'm here, right? I just didn't expect you to be here."
Bai Ai said: "It's convenient here."
Thinking about it, I can understand that there are so many literati and students coming and going in this place, the news is the most and the fastest, and Bai Ai is from a scholarly family, so it is the most suitable place to make friends with people.
After staring at him for a while, Huaiyu suddenly reached out and gave him a hook.
"...Your Highness?" Bai Ai felt terrified when she saw her action, every time she asked him to do something embarrassing, she would let him go like this, and the deeper the smile on her face, the more difficult the task was.
Now that she has laughed like a flower, Bai Ai has a very bad feeling.
After three sticks of incense. Li Huaiyu walked out of the gate of the Academy of Arts with a pile of rice paper in his arms, picked up Lingxiu, and walked back together. The things in the sleeve pocket have been given to someone, and she has to go to Jiang Xuanjin now.
However, when he walked back, he saw that there was no carriage at the place just now, but only a standing rider.
"Where's your master?" Huaiyu asked curiously.
Chengxu said helplessly: "Master said he didn't want to wait for you, so he left first."
"Huh?" Huaiyu raised an eyebrow, "Where did you go?"
"Master, don't let me talk." Cheng Xu uttered these words, while moving his chin towards the teahouse next to him.
Suddenly, Li Huaiyu gave him an appreciative look, gave him all the rice paper, lifted his skirt and walked into the teahouse. There were so many people on the first floor, she didn't even look at it, she went straight up to find the most secluded wing.
Jiang Xuanjin held her teacup, heard the movement at the door, and looked back at her with indifferent eyes.
Huaiyu smiled and sat beside him, squeezed his hand and took a few sips from the teacup in his hand, then said mysteriously: "Guess what I just heard?"
Don't coax him. Don't ask him why he left, just say this when he comes up? Jiang Xuanjin didn't want to respond at all, and remained silent with a straight face.
The man said self-consciously: "I heard that this year's student officer is Mr. Liang again! I didn't know who this Mr. Liang was, but the guy who sold my rice paper got excited when he said it, and the students around him seemed to be interested in him too." Quite a criticism."
"Liang Sixian?" Jiang Xuanjin was taken aback, and subconsciously said his name.
Huaiyu was full of curiosity: "Do you know him?"
Nonsense, after all, he is also an academic officer with a salary of a thousand stones, can you not recognize him? But when mentioning this person, Jiang Xuanjin was a little curious: "Why do you criticize him?"
"I don't know either. I just listened to it when I was shopping, as if what I said was unfair and misleading my son." Huaiyu shrugged nonchalantly, "Maybe it's just a casual complaint."
In the selection of officials over the years, it is unavoidable that there are people who have failed in the rankings who feel unhappy, and it is normal to arrange two sentences about academics and officials. Jiang Xuanjin didn't think much about it, she just turned her head and put the teacup in front of her: "My tea."
She drank it upside down and didn't even spit out a tea leaf.
Huaiyu smiled and said: "It's not good to drink too much strong tea, may I make you a weak one?"
Jiang Xuanjin was about to say that this pot of tea is all strong, and if it is weak, it has to be brewed again. As a result, the person next to him bullied him, and the concubine-colored silk cloth wrapped around him. The whole person raised his head up, pursed his lips and rubbed the corner of his mouth.
"How is it? Isn't this much lighter?" She licked her lips and smiled.
The person in front of him was pushed back slightly by her pressure, a ray of light flashed in his black pupils, but he said unhappily: "No."
Not yet? Provoked by this, Huaiyu pouted, and immediately turned his head and kissed him deeply.
The light tea fragrance instantly filled the lips and teeth of the two of them.
Chengxu and Lingxiu followed behind and looked for them. Just as they were about to enter the wing room, they saw two people huddling together to kiss each other. Mr. Ziyang propped himself up on the bench and looked at the person in front of him with half-closed eyes. It seems to hide the first ray of sunshine at dawn, very dazzling.
Both of them were startled at the door.
With her eyes closed, Li Huaiyu couldn't see this, she kissed him all the way with a teasing attitude, and when she realized that he was no longer angry, she let go and stretched out her hand to him with a smile: "Let's go home! "
With a slight movement in his eyes, Jiang Xuanjin put his hand in hers again.
"Okay, let's go home," he said.
In a blink of an eye, it was the day of the official election, and Huaiyu followed Jiang Xuanjin to see Jiang Shen off. I saw him standing at the door yawning, looking very sleepy.
"Are you going to sleep on the field?" Jiang Xuanjin asked expressionlessly.
Jiang Shen raised his eyelids and looked at him: "This is a good idea."
"How can this work?" Huaiyu shook his head, and handed him an amulet-like thing when he came up, "This is for the second brother, and bless your writing and thinking today!"
Jiang Shen raised his eyebrows, stretched out his hand to take it, and squinted at the face of his third brother next to him, and immediately said with a smile: "My brother and sister have a heart, and they are so meticulous and thoughtful. The second brother must wear this thing well."
As he spoke, he sniffed lightly twice, and exclaimed: "This scent of Buddha is really refreshing, smell it more often!"
Huaiyu didn't pay attention to anything else, just watched Jiang Shen's action, and nodded with satisfaction: "It's good that the second brother likes it."
Jiang Xuanjin didn't say a word, and when Jiang Shen left, he turned his head and asked, "When will I give him the talisman?"
Huaiyu said: "Just yesterday, when you went to court, I went to the temple."
Really caring. Jiang Xuanjin withdrew his eyes indifferently, and walked back with a flick of his sleeves. Huaiyu chased after him. Smilingly, she took his hand and gave him one, "This is yours. It's much thicker than the second brother's. It's a peace talisman."
"Who cares?" He said disdainfully.
However, two days later, Mr. Ziyang stood in the imperial study room, the inscription on his waist was gone, replaced by a thick peace talisman.
Li Huailin was listening to the official's report on the general situation of the election, nodded while listening, and inadvertently swiped down to the right, and saw Jiang Xuanjin gently twisting the peace talisman, distracted, and the whole person seemed to be enveloped in a soft light , without the usual seriousness.
With a slight movement in his mind, he called out, "Your Majesty?"
Lord Ziyang came back to his senses, and suddenly let go of his fingers.
Liang Sixian, who was standing below, smiled and said, "Your Majesty, you are so happy, aren't you?"
"Huh?" Jiang Xuanjin was slightly puzzled, "Why are you happy?"
Liang Sixian was taken aback for a moment, then cupped his hands and said: "The second son of your mansion won the first place in the selection of officials, isn't that something to be happy about?"
Jiang Shen took the lead? Jiang Xuanjin paused. He didn't hear it just now, but now that he knows it, there are two smiles on his face: "This is of course something to be happy about."
Liang Sixian heaved a sigh of relief, and Li Huailin also said: "Second Young Master Jiang should have been an official a long time ago, and he deserves his name this time."
Jiang Xuanjin nodded to thank her, calmed down, and told her family the good news when she returned home. All the people in the hall immediately became happy, cheering and hugging Jiang Shen out.
Jiang Shen was not happy at all, he frowned and looked at Jiang Xuanjin and asked, "Are you sure you heard right?"
"That's right." Jiang Xuanjin said, "Master Liang said it in front of His Majesty."
Li Huaiyu mixed in the crowd with a smile, and saw Jiang Shen's face darken a little bit, and then said: "Impossible."
"Why?" Everyone was puzzled.
Taking a deep breath, Jiang Shen clenched his fists and said, "I didn't write a word at all, and the seal didn't even drop. How could it be that I came out on top?"
As soon as these words came out, the main hall fell silent for an instant.
Jiang Yan whispered: "Second Uncle, you can't say such nonsense."
"Why am I talking nonsense about this?" Jiang Shen was slightly annoyed, "But I didn't write a word, and I felt sleepy when I played, and I fell asleep straight to the end!"
When the old man heard this, he threw his cane to the ground: "Ridiculous!"
"Father, I really can't blame me." Jiang Shen said helplessly, "I don't know why, I was really sleepy, I wanted to take a short break and get up to answer the questions, but who knew that I couldn't wake up after falling asleep. Finally, after the exam, others Woke me up."
Jiang Xuanjin frowned slightly: "Master Liang has no reason to talk nonsense in front of His Majesty."
"But he's just talking nonsense." Jiang Shen said, "We can't admit this matter. If we really admit it, it will be my cheating. You have to go to the palace to explain it clearly for me."
How can such a thing be explained clearly? Jiang Xuanjin pondered for a moment, then raised her eyes and said, "I'll go check it out first."
Seeing him stepping out, Huaiyu followed immediately.
"Are you leaving again?" she whispered miserably as she walked behind him, "Can you take me with you?"
Jiang Xuanjin turned her head and frowned at her: "What's the matter?"
"I'll change into clothes and follow you, and I'll be decent!" She said, taking off her robe quickly.
"You..." Just as Jiang Xuanjin was about to reprimand her, she saw that she was wearing a delicate dress under her outer robe. She took off a few hairpins and wrapped them in the outer robe, and immediately became a little maid.
Jiang Xuanjin frowned: "Have you thought about this long ago?"
"Yes!" Huaiyu admitted generously, then took his hand and said, "I have to wait for you in the yard every day, it's too painful, please let me follow you, I can serve tea and water! "
Seeing that he wanted to object, she immediately slumped, wrinkled her nose, and shook his hand: "Take me with you, I will definitely not get in your way!"
It looked like he said "no" and she immediately cried.
Jiang Xuanjin shook her head, not wanting to waste too much time, so she slipped the clothes in her hand to Chengxu, then pulled her up and walked out.
Huaiyu was immediately happy, and said as he walked: "I knew you couldn't bear to part with me! Don't worry, I... slave will take good care of you!"
Are you still learning well? Jiang Xuanjin snorted softly, took her into the car, and asked coldly, "What's your name for a maid?"
Huaiyu didn't even think about it: "Yu'er!"
Jiang Xuanjin was puzzled: "Why this word? It has nothing to do with your name."
The corner of his mouth twitched, Li Huaiyu looked at him with a complicated expression and said, "Which word do you think is suitable for the three words Bai Zhuji?"
Bowing his head and thinking for a while, Jiang Xuanjin pursed his lips: "Then it's still Yu'er."
The two went to the School of Literature together. Jiang Xuanjin said that he wanted to check the answer sheets for the official selection. He thought it should not be a big deal, but who knew that the people in the School of Literature showed embarrassment one after another.
"This... After the official selection, the paper will be destroyed immediately after reading it."
Jiang Xuanjin frowned: "After the top three answer the paper, it will be presented to His Majesty."
Knowing that they couldn't fool him, the civil servants could only invite him to have tea in the hall first, and then quickly send someone to inform the academic officials. Liang Sixian came. He just greeted Jiang Xuanjin with a smile, and then immediately sent someone to fetch Jiang Shen's paper.
"This is what your majesty wants to see? The second son is brilliant, and he really deserves it!"
Jiang Xuanjin took the long scroll and glanced at it, then turned to the end and looked at the seal, and asked: "Can I borrow all the top three scrolls for a look?"
"This is not in line with the law." Liang Sixian said seriously, "Even if the emperor has a high position and authority, this thing is usually only read by civil servants and academic officials, and then let your majesty see it. If you want to know something, the subordinate officials can answer it."
"Your Excellency may not be able to answer." Jiang Xuanjin folded the paper, "If you really can't read it, then I will leave first."
"Your Majesty!" Liang Sixian hurriedly stood up, a little flustered, "What did you do wrong as a lower official? Second Young Master Jiang...he picked the leader, Your Majesty thinks it's inappropriate?"
"If he really answered it himself, there is nothing wrong with it."
But the handwriting on this paper does not belong to Jiang Shen at first glance, and his seal is even on it. What is the mind of the examiner
Liang Sixian panicked and wanted to take back the paper in his hand, but Jiang Xuanjin had no intention of returning it. Get up and go out the door.
No one can stop it.
Liang Sixian was in a hurry, so he hurriedly sent people to follow them. Jiang Xuanjin walked very quickly, without taking a carriage, with a hook, he took the cute little maid behind him and walked into the alley.
Hearing the footsteps behind her, Huaiyu frowned: "There is no way ahead."
"Who told you?" Jiang Xuanjin left without hesitation.
Not knowing whether to laugh or cry, Huaiyu stretched out his hand and pointed forward: "Look for yourself, such a high wall!"
With a soft snort, Jiang Xuanjin strode down to the wall, pinched her waist with one hand, put her in a half-hug, jumped up, climbed up the wall with the other hand, the veins on the back of the hand swelled up, borrowed her strength, He turned over with her.
Huaiyu stared blankly, but before he could react, he put him firmly on the ground.
"You... are so strong?" She was shocked.
Jiang Xuanjin gave her a white look, and pulled her to continue walking: "What's so strange?"
"No, with your strength." Huaiyu swallowed. Very curious, "How could I suppress you before?"
Jiang Xuanjin: "..."
With a light cough, he handed her the paper in his hand: "Don't worry about other things, put it away first."
"Oh." In response blankly, Huaiyu took it and glanced at it casually, and suddenly said "Huh" again: "This handwriting looks familiar!"
Jiang Xuanjin paused: "Familiar?"
"Yeah, look at the word 'the'. It's written in a very special way. I saw it in the Academy of Arts and praised it at the time. Why is it written like this?"
Looking at the word she pointed to, Jiang Xuanjin's eyes moved slightly: "Go to the Academy of Arts."
The School of Literature and the School of Literature were very close, and the two of them walked over without the people following them. After entering the door, Huaiyu pulled him and pointed to a pair of calligraphy hanging on the wall: "Here, look at this, doesn't it look similar?"
A brand-new set of calligraphy, on which is written "the target of public criticism", the writing style of the last word is indeed very similar to that on the scroll, or the strokes of the strokes are exactly the same.
Jiang Xuanjin looked down at the inscription, and when he saw the name and surname, his heart skipped a beat.
"What's the matter?" Li Huaiyu leaned over to take a look with an innocent face. "Bai Ai? Hey, I have the same surname as me!"
"This person." Jiang Xuanjin looked complicated, "You don't remember?"
Huaiyu shook his head: "I haven't heard of it, why should I remember?"
... That's right, they met at most twice, one in the main building and the other at the wedding banquet. They never said a word on both occasions, and they didn't know their names at all.
Stretching out his hand to take down the calligraphy and painting, he said: "It's hard to find this person, I'm afraid I have to go to Lu's residence."
"To the Lu Mansion?" Huaiyu clapped his hands with a smile, "I know the way!"
Jiang Xuanjin gave her a cold look.
After a pause, Li Huaiyu immediately turned serious, and said solemnly: "After all, the White House is also there."
After talking to the shopkeeper, Jiang Xuanjin bought the calligraphy and painting, rolled them up, ignored her, and went straight out. Huaiyu hurriedly followed, smiling apologetically all the way.
When they arrived at the Lu residence, Lu Jingxing greeted him personally, and looked at Jiang Xuanjin in amazement: "A rare visitor."
"Where is Bai Ai?" Jiang Xuanjin didn't even bother to enter. Just ask.
Lu Jingxing shook his fan and smiled, "Why did you suddenly ask him? He likes to move around, I don't know right now..."
"Look for him for something urgent." Jiang Xuanjin interrupted his prevarication, raised his eyes and said, "The matter is of great importance."
Lu Jingxing really wanted to say, what does your important matter have to do with my young master? However, he glanced out of the corner of his eye and saw the little girl behind Jiang Xuanjin.
"This is?" He frowned as soon as he closed his fan, "How long have you been married? You have a maid by your side?"
"What does it have to do with you?"
Lu Jingxing's face darkened: "Does Zhuji know?"
Jiang Xuanjin paused, looked back at the person whose head was buried behind her, and smiled suddenly: "How do you know? So what if you don't know?"
Lu Jingxing stepped down the steps, staring straight at him with phoenix eyes, and said in a bad tone, "If she knows and still indulges you, I'll make trouble for her. If she doesn't know, and you are hiding it from her, then I will make trouble for you. "
While speaking, the person had already stood in front of him with a fierce aura.
Jiang Xuanjin stared at him for a while, and said, "It's just a maid, so serious?"
"Who doesn't know that Ziyang Jun never had a servant girl by his side before? Now he suddenly has one, what kind of servant girl could it be?"
Nodding suddenly, Jiang Xuanjin took half a step to the side, turned around and asked the person behind him: "What kind of maid are you?"
Li Huaiyu adhered to the concept of "fairies fight, mortals stay away", and planned to pretend to be dead all the time, but she never thought that the person in front of her would suddenly step aside, and when her eyes lit up, she saw Lu Jingxing's soft silver snow silk robe.
Looking up with a dry smile, she met his stunned gaze, thought about it seriously, and then tentatively replied: "Tong... Tongfang maid?"
