In the capital, there are many great nobles, but the most respected and dare not offend is the Shen family!
Shen Di Shi is the head of the aristocratic family. He promoted the imperial examination system and founded the Guoxuetang. Not only did the common people have books to read, but they also had the opportunity to become officials!
Such a product with such an open mind, while being respected by the people, is also praised from the heart.
Soon, the carriage came to Xie Linlang, just in time to separate Xiao Ze and Du Zhiyan.
After a while, a slender and fair hand opened the curtain of the car, and then Shen Junqing, who was elegant and elegant, stood up and looked at Xie Linlang.
As soon as he appeared, it was as lively as the city gate of the market, and suddenly it was silent.
People want to admire the demeanor of the emperor, but they are afraid of offending the nobles, so they bow their heads quietly and worship from the heart.
After the emperor came out, he first took a deep look at Xie Linlang, and then looked at Xiao Ze and Du Zhiyan with a smile.
"This emperor and teacher will thank the two of you for your love on behalf of the disciples. It's just that His Majesty has an order to let Linlang go to meet him immediately after returning to Beijing, so..."
His long and narrow phoenix eyes fell on Xie Linlang with a smile, "So Linlang, I'll take you into the palace for the sake of the teacher, get in the car and come."
As soon as he said these words, Xiao Ze and Du Zhiyan went out, not to mention that the emperor was here, who would dare to rob the emperor
Xiao Ze was a little unhappy, but he still had to give the emperor's face, so he snorted and said to Xie Linlang.
"Xie Linlang, forget it today, tomorrow at Changchunlou, don't be late if you're a brother!"
After he finished speaking, he rode away.
Although Du Zhiyan was not reconciled, she was a little afraid of the emperor, so she didn't dare to say anything more.
Anyway, Xie Lang will definitely stay in the capital in the future, and it will take a long time to come to Japan. Thinking of this, after she bowed to the emperor, she also turned around and entered the carriage.
The surrounding people quietly dispersed a lot. Although the emperor was not as domineering and arrogant as other great nobles, they feared the emperor from the bottom of their hearts and did not dare to watch, so they left silently.
Only Xie Linlang was relieved and at the same time a little blocked. For some reason, looking at the eyes of the emperor, she had a feeling that she had just left the wolf's den and entered the tiger's mouth...
The imperial envoy heard the words like a pardon! He hurriedly brought people forward to salute, and then went to the palace to resume his life.
Anyway, the emperor said that he wants to bring Xie Linlang into the palace in person, so what is there to worry about
After everyone was gone, Xie Linlang sighed and turned over and dismounted.
She handed over the horse to the entourage beside the emperor, and then followed the emperor into the carriage.
The curtain was lowered, blocking everyone's sight. Inside the closed carriage, Xie Linlang suddenly became nervous.
She hasn't been alone with the emperor for a long time, and the eyes of the emperor are too deep, making her feel breathless...
In order to ease the atmosphere, she began to look for words.
"By the way, Master, why don't you see Wenling and the others?"
Before Wenling and the others would serve on the carriage, they wouldn't be so nervous when they were there.
The emperor heard the words for a while, then picked up the teapot on the side, and made tea for Xie Linlang himself. When the tea was full, he said with a smile.
"They are getting old, so I let them out for the teacher."
In fact, they were only dealt with yesterday. As for where the deal went, the emperor didn't ask, they were just two unimportant maids.
Xie Linlang was a little strange. Imperial teachers were used to having maids to serve them. Since they were married, the housekeeper in charge of internal affairs, why didn't they recommend new people
Just when she was thinking, the emperor pushed the teacup in front of her.
"Taste it, Qingfeng Xueya of Yunzhou."
Xie Linlang retracted her thoughts after hearing the words, and looked down at the light blue tea soup in the thin porcelain teacup, a little stunned.
You can't drink this kind of tea soup in Xiangcheng, not to mention Xiangcheng, even the capital is a minority, because Qingfeng Xueya only produces seven taels a year, which is a tribute, and ordinary people are afraid that they have never heard of it.
There is also incense that smells very clear in the car. If you guessed correctly, it is the unique "white rainbow incense" in Huzhou. This kind of incense is worth a thousand taels of silver and a small box.
In addition, the inside of the carriage is paved with Lingluo, and the fragrant wood used. Even the thin porcelain teacup in front of him is the pinnacle of the official kiln master Wen Zhongshuo. Xie Linlang secretly calculated that the money for this carriage could build several for her. big ship...
She didn't think that the emperor was extravagant, because the big families in the capital all have this habit. Unless the family is in the middle, they are even more exaggerated than the emperor in terms of enjoyment and cards!
Xie Linlang once attended a tea party.
The other party dug a canal in the peach blossom forest, and the water flowing in the canal was full of yellow wine.
On the grass next to the canal, they also spread a whole surface of lingon, so that people who come to the tea party can sit on the floor, and then play "Qushui Liuyuan" with wine.
The loser just scoops wine in the ditch, which is really extravagant.
And this is just the tip of the iceberg. Many people in the capital have never left this city in their entire lives, because they know that outsiders are either refugees or bandits.
But their family holds the lifeblood of the country, so what should I do with the endless money? That must be how to spread out how to come.
Xie Linlang thought and sighed.
She drank the fragrant tea and looked at the layers of yellow glazed tiles outside. Only then did she realize that she had really returned to the capital.
Seeing that Xie Linlang had been looking out the window, the imperial teacher kept staring at her with obscure and profound eyes.
He was amazed at Xie Linlang's talent, but more often, he didn't understand Xie Linlang, but that didn't stop him from appreciating her, and from the bottom of his heart, he craved her like a beast craving for blood...
He just heard him whisper, "Linlang went to the Northland for half a year, and stayed in Xiangcheng for another year. After finally returning to Beijing, I'm afraid she doesn't know the capital anymore."
Xie Linlang nodded. The capital in front of her seemed to be a lot more prosperous than she remembered. The neat rows of roof tiles and the bright and spacious streets would be very happy if they only lived here.
The emperor sighed, "Although the capital is good at the moment, it's only superficial. Linlang has been away for too long, and I'm afraid she doesn't know what's going on underneath. Originally, you proposed the imperial examination system and the Guoxuetang, all of which are helping me and benefiting the world. , but recently, some people have raised the voice of ending the imperial examinations."
The words of the imperial teacher brought Xie Linlang's thoughts back immediately, ending the imperial examination? Why? This is obviously a good thing for those big families!
The emperor understood what she meant and explained, "It was His Majesty who issued a new decree, which caused the various families to be in chaos. Once they are in chaos, it will be chaos, so Linlang, when you come back this time, you will stay and help me. Bar."
Xie Linlang keenly realized that things were not easy, but before she could speak, the carriage froze suddenly, the emperor frowned.
"Master Emperor! Help me, help me! I am Wenling!"
