Princess Xinyang fainted, without warning.
The servants in the yard did not panic because of their worries, and everyone did their own things in an orderly manner under Yu Jin's deployment.
Princess Xinyang was carried to the bed by Yu Jin.
Gu Jiao didn't see that Yu Jin, who was weak and weak, had such strength, but Yu Jin was not a martial artist, and this time she actually used up all her strength.
She gasped in embarrassment for a while, thin beads of sweat oozing from her forehead.
"Lord Yujin, this servant will go to ask a doctor," said a little maid.
Yu Jin nodded first, but Xu Yu seemed to have thought of something, and then shook his head.
Afterwards, she looked at Gu Jiao, who had not escaped in the chaos, and asked, "Doctor Gu, can I trust you?"
…
Twilight slants west.
Xiao Liulang ended his day's official business and came out of the Hanlin Academy. At a glance, he saw the little three sons circling anxiously at the door.
The little third son is the driver of the hospital, and he often follows Gu Jiao to the doctor's office.
Xiao Liulang looked behind the third son subconsciously, only to see a quiet carriage with the curtains closed, but his intuition told him that Gu Jiao was not on the carriage.
"Little Sanzi, what's wrong?" Xiao Liulang walked over and asked.
The third son heard Xiao Liulang's voice, turned his head suddenly, and said in a panic, "Brother Xiao, Miss Gu is gone!"
Xiao Liulang frowned: "When did you disappear? Where did you disappear?"
The little three is too anxious: "Just, just now..."
Xiao Liulang reassured: "Don't worry, speak slowly."
The little three also knew that it was impossible for him to do this. After all, he was also the one who followed Miss Gu to meet the emperor. He had to be calm and calm...
The little three calmed down and told what happened in front of the shop.
Xiao Liulang frowned and said, "You mean she disappeared suddenly?"
Little Sanzi said: "Isn't it all of a sudden? I held the pancake in one hand and the food box in the other, and told her that the pancake should be eaten while it's hot, otherwise it would be soft and not brittle in a while. She also said yes, but I turned my head to look at her and she was gone! No... I mean... The people are gone! I asked the couple at the bakery and they didn't see it either! I looked around... but I searched the whole street I can't find it all over the place..."
Xiao Liulang went to the crime scene.
"Where was your carriage parked at that time?" he asked the third son.
The little three found a place about half a zhang away from the shop, gestured, and said, "Here! The horse is standing here, and the carriage is here!"
After the shop finished Gu Jiao's business, the food was exhausted and the door was closed, and no more customers came.
Xiao Liulang walked around the scene carefully, suddenly crouched down, and picked up a broken piece of charcoal.
Charcoal is not a very good writing tool. Most people don't use it. Gu Jiao likes it very much. In the purse that her aunt gave her, there is a special inner tank for charcoal. It can be taken out and cleaned when it gets dirty.
She usually puts a slice or two in it.
But the piece of charcoal in Xiao Liulang's hand was not the charcoal pen that Gu Jiao was used to.
Her charcoal is treated and has a softer texture.
This charcoal is someone's special charcoal, and he has only seen it in one place.
…
In the house on Suzaku Street, Princess Xinyang woke up faintly.
Yu Jin has been guarding her. Seeing her opening her eyes, she smiled slightly and said, "Princess, are you awake? How are you feeling?"
It wasn't the first time that Princess Xinyang fainted, but it was the first time she woke up feeling so relaxed, neither dizzy nor sore, as if she just slept casually.
Yu Jin saw her face and knew that she was recovering better than before. She smiled and said, "The princess just fainted. It was Doctor Gu who gave the princess acupuncture treatment."
She said, stood up, took a step back and bowed, "This minister made an opinion, please punish the princess."
Princess Xinyang glanced at her helplessly: "You know I won't punish you."
Yu Jin smiled.
Princess Xinyang asked, "What about the girl?"
Yu Jin looked back and said, "In the yard."
In the colorful courtyard, under a luxuriant tree, someone was forced to do business again, and his face was black.
"You said that you are a master, the dignified Dragon Shadow Guard of Zhaoguo, the number one martial arts master in the world, why do you like people to slap you in the face?"
Gu Jiao said resentfully, not forgetting to break a charcoal pen.
Then she felt that the boss was happier!
... just fascinated.
When Princess Xinyang walked out accompanied by Yu Jin, what she saw was a scene of one big and one small squatting on the ground and pouting.
Yu Jin had been standing in front of Princess Xinyang's bed just now, but she didn't know that the two of them were like this. Yu Jin couldn't hold back again, and burst out laughing.
"Princess," she said, "Long Yi hasn't played with anyone for a long time. The last time he did this was when Xiao Hou was young..."
Princess Xinyang interrupted her lightly: "Yu Jin, he is dead, don't mention him in the future."
Yu Jin lowered her eyes: "...Yes."
Gu Jiao pouted to despair, until her stomach growled before ending today's business.
Yu Jin left Gu Jiao to eat, but Gu Jiao refused.
She suddenly disappeared for so long, the third son must be in a hurry, maybe Xiao Liulang also knew that she was gone, and she had to go back quickly.
For the sake of Millennium Lingzhi, she didn't plan to ask for the consultation fee, but Yu Jin insisted on giving it to her, so she accepted it.
Quan should be the hard fee for a night of hard work!
Gu Jiao put the one hundred tael bill into her purse.
Compared with the Marquis of Xuanping who only gave her a copper plate, Princess Xinyang's shot is not too lavish.
When Gu Jiao came, she was taken captive by Long Yi, and now she can't let Long Yi take her back.
Yu Jin thoughtfully prepared a carriage.
"I send you."
As soon as she finished speaking, a little maid walked over with small steps: "Master Yujin, that peony doesn't seem to survive."
"Which one?" Yu Jin asked.
"The one that the princess loves the most," said the little girl.
Gu Jiao said understandingly: "Master Yujin, go take care of Peony, you don't have to send me."
Taking care of Peony is not in a hurry for a while, but Yu Jin saw that Gu Jiao didn't like these modesty, so she smiled and said, "Okay, then walk slowly, the carriage is at the door, where do you want to go? Just tell the driver."
"En." Gu Jiao responded, said goodbye to Yu Jin and came to the main entrance of the courtyard.
The door was ajar and opened inward.
As soon as Gu Jiao opened the door, she saw Xiao Liulang who raised his hand and was about to knock on the door.
The two paused in unison.
Gu Jiao didn't expect that he would come here, Xiao Liulang didn't expect that the door would open by himself, and Gu Jiao would come out at this time.
"Are you OK?"
"How did you come?"
The two spoke in unison.
Xiao Liulang was still panting, his forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat, and he could see how hard and anxious the journey was.
He glanced at the yard behind Gu Jiao.
Gu Jiao's eyes moved, she stepped over the threshold and closed the courtyard door: "Let's go."
Yu Jin heard the unfamiliar man's voice, she was not at ease, she walked over to take a look, but Gu Jiao had already left with Xiao Liulang.
Yu Jin asked the driver, "Where's Mrs. Gu?"
The driver said, "Someone came to her just now, and she left with him."
Looking for her alone
She was kidnapped by Long Yi, who could guess that Long Yi kidnapped her here
Yu Jin was puzzled, followed a few steps in confusion, and came to the corner of Suzaku Street, only to see a carriage driving into the night.
On the silent street, the little three drove the car with relief.
Finally found Miss Gu, he doesn't have to worry anymore.
Big Brother Xiao is still very powerful, and he immediately guessed that Miss Gu was coming to Suzaku Street.
By the way, how did he guess
The same doubt flashed through Gu Jiao's mind, the difference was that Gu Jiao quickly figured out the answer.
No wonder he could stop Long Yi from killing her, and no wonder Long Yi pinched his face.
Long Yi is indeed confirming something, and it has been confirmed.
In this way, it makes sense for the dragon pair to be so close to themselves suddenly.
Although Gu Jiao is not willing to equate being forced to slap a pen with being close, but if someone else slaps Long Yi's face with a pen, I am afraid that it will not be a few charcoal pens that will be slapped next, but the person himself. .
Although she had guessed some things, and she felt that it was impossible for him to not be able to tell that she guessed it with his intelligence, but he didn't say it, she didn't go to pierce the last layer of window paper.
However, she still has to say about the reason why she appeared on Suzaku Street.
"I removed the stitches yesterday for a scholar surnamed Xu. He asked me to treat one of his aunts, and he paid the consultation fee. As a result, I went to the wrong place and entered the courtyard of Princess Xinyang by mistake. , treat Princess Xinyang as that aunt..."
Gu Jiao succinctly described the process of changing the dressing, but did not say that Long Yi asked her to slap her pen, nor did she say that Princess Xinyang misunderstood her ulterior motives and almost wanted to slap her little ass with the golden whip bestowed by the late emperor. .
Kind of embarrassing.
"Princess Xinyang took the medicine I gave, and the effect was very good. Just now, I asked the dragon to take me over to treat her!"
She spoke lightly, omitting all kinds of misunderstandings and details.
But Xiao Liulang has been with Princess Xinyang for more than ten years, so how could he not know what kind of temperament she is
Maybe he couldn't understand it in the past, but when he thinks about it now, many details are not the same as in his impression.
Princess Xinyang has never been a simple woman.
She really wanted to ask someone to treat her illness, and she would send a sedan chair there, so that Long and a group of people would kidnap her, mostly because she had doubts in her heart.
Fortunately, it was all a misunderstanding.
He couldn't stop her from going to see Princess Xinyang, because he couldn't stop it.
It's not that she can't see if she can't see it. Princess Xinyang gives an order and digs three feet from the ends of the earth, and Long Yi will find people.
But Long Yi won't allow anyone to hurt her, right
Just like he never allowed anyone to hurt himself.
When she got home, the pancakes were already cold, Gu Jiao sighed, the pancakes were delicious, it was a pity.
It was late at night and everyone in the family was asleep. The two of them washed up and went back to their room.
Xiao Qingkong was lying on the bed on all sides, snoring indulgently.
Xiao Liulang looked at him, and somehow thought of himself as a child, and also thought of the former princess mansion.
Memories flashed through my mind frame by frame like pictures. Memories I thought I had long forgotten were so clear at night.
Xiao Liulang closed his eyes and tried to squeeze these memories out of his mind, but found that the harder he tried, the more the memory surged.
"Mother~"
The small headroom on the side suddenly opened his mouth in a daze.
Did the little guy dream that he had a mother
Xiao Liulang's thoughts were interrupted, and he pulled Xiao Jingkong's clothes down to cover his belly.
Xiao Jingkong turned over and slid into his arms, babbling about something in his sleep.
Xiao Liulang raised his slender and jade-like fingertips and poked his small head aside.
Xiao Qingkong rolled past, and after a while, rolled back.
Xiao Liulang pokes again.
He rolls again.
In the end, he no longer bowed to Xiao Liulang's arms, and a small foot was born and directly hit Xiao Liulang's face!
Xiao Liulang: "..."
After being tossed around by Xiao Jingkong, Xiao Liulang had no time to think about other things, and the strange memories in his mind also disappeared. In the second half of the night, he slept well.
The next day before dawn, he went to the Hanlin Academy.
He came earlier than Kong Mu, and Kong Mu gave him a strange look: "Xiao Xiuzhuan last night... Could it be that he didn't go back?"
"Go back." Xiao Liulang said.
After ordering, Xiao Liulang went to his office.
Kong Mu couldn't help muttering: "So early... I quarreled with my daughter-in-law, and was kicked out by my daughter-in-law..."
The results of the six exams came out, and a large number of officials entered the ranks of those who needed to retake the exam.
A large part of the officials who took the make-up exams did not come from the imperial examination, but were family officials, that is, officials obtained through the merits of the previous generation. The examination skills of this group of people can be imagined.
It's not that none of the officials in Yin Ren are full of poetry and books. It's just that if a person has strong real talents and practical learning, he can become an official himself without the need for a family Yin Guan. , Another example is the current Zhuang Bianxiu.
After all, there are very few people who know that they are able to shadow officials and still study hard.
The shady official system has obvious drawbacks, but it has a long history. During the reign of the previous emperor, he tried to abolish it, but it was opposed by the civil and military officials. However, the previous emperor was also stubborn and did not let go until he died, which made the relationship between the monarch and his ministers very stiff. While his old department was loyal to him, he also hoped that he would take back his life.
Empress Dowager Zhuang resumed the shady official system and gave civil and military officials a step down, but at the same time, she also put forward a condition - six additional assessments.
The assessment is conducted every three years. If the exam fails, the exam will be made up. Those who fail the exam twice will be demoted.
It is worth mentioning that the demerited person must participate in the next round of assessment regardless of whether he is selected by lottery or not.
The mystery of this system is that it includes a lot of buffer periods. If you fail to take the test, you can make up the test, and you can take the test again after three years. It is not that you will lose your official position all at once.
In addition, Empress Dowager Zhuang said: "Tiger fathers have no dogs, and all the ministers are both intelligent and brave. They are the pillars of our Zhao Kingdom. Could it be that the children born are all pustules?"
The high hat intensified the law, and the court ministers were choked to the point of being unnecessarily.
This is how the six-part assessment system was accepted.
Although this system has not completely solved the shady official system, it has minimized the drawbacks it brings.
The Hanlin official who arranged to give lectures at the Gongyuan today was Xiao Liulang, and the Gongyuan arranged for a carriage to pick him up.
Before the carriage arrived, Xiao Liulang carried the kettle to the backyard to fetch water.
Ning Zhiyuan happened to go to Mochi to wash his pen. When he saw him, he greeted him with a smile: "Luo Lang! It's so early!"
"You are very early too." Xiao Liulang said.
Ning Zhiyuan sighed, "I'm not afraid of being late, so I went out early? Your family doesn't live far away."
The two were talking, and Bachelor Han came over.
Ning Zhiyuan was surprised: "Wow, I didn't expect Sir Han to be so early."
The two saluted Han Xue Shi.
Han Xueshi nodded, looked at Xiao Liulang and said, "Are you going to go to the Gongyuan to give a lecture today?"
"Yes." Xiao Liulang said.
"You don't have to go." Han Xueshi said, "You can follow me to Wenhua Pavilion in a while."
Xiao Liulang's fingertips moved.
Wenhua Pavilion, a library of books built by Princess Xinyang.
Han Xueshi gave Xiao Liulang this chance because he valued Xiao Liulang. When he saw that Xiao Liulang didn't speak, he agreed.
Unexpectedly, he just took a step, Xiao Liulang said: "Master Han, I want to go to the Gongyuan to give a lecture."
Why do you want to go to Gongyuan to give lectures
Have you ever bargained with your immediate boss like this
Han Xueshi looked back and said solemnly, "Do you know where Wenhua Pavilion is? What kind of opportunity is this?"
"I want to go to the Gongyuan to give a lecture." Xiao Liulang said word by word.
Han Xue frowned.
Xiao Liulang glanced at Ning Zhiyuan and said, "Let Ning Bianxiu go to Wenhua Pavilion, I still want to go to Gongyuan."
He said that he would go to the Gongyuan three times, and if Han Xueshi tried to lift him up, he would never give him another chance.
"Come with me." Han Xueshi said to Ning Zhiyuan.
Ning Zhiyuan followed Han Xueshi, and exaggeratedly gestured at Xiao Liulang while walking, and said silently - did you really give me such a good opportunity
"What are you doing?" Han Xueshi stopped and turned to look at him.
Ning Zhiyuan stopped for a second: "It's nothing, just stretch."
Han Xueshi took Ning Zhiyuan out of the Hanlin Academy.
Xiao Liulang waited for another half an hour before waiting for the people who came to the Gongyuan, but just as he was about to get into the carriage, the driver of the Hanlin Academy rushed over in a hurry: "No, Xiao Xiuzhuan! Something has happened to Ning Bianxiu! Go to Wenhua Pavilion and take a look!"
The purpose of marking the first and second changes is not to emphasize the number of words, but to tell everyone whether you need to wait for the next update.
If the target is one update, everyone can brush it again during the day. If it is marked with two updates, it means that the update is finished today.
