The leader got out of Ji’s house as he wished, first got into Uncle Qin’s carriage, and went to Nanshan Academy together. On the way, he went to a restaurant because he was hungry because he had never eaten candied haws from the Central Plains, and asked his uncle to help him buy two skewers Son, Mrs. Qin bought it very generously.
The leader wanted to take this opportunity to get rid of Aunt Qin, but he didn't realize that the food was so delicious that he forgot about it. It wasn't until Aunt Qin came back with three strings of shiny candied haws that he realized that he seemed to be ate too much.
With enough food and wine, there was no excuse to escape for a while, so the leader had no choice but to bite the bullet and follow Aunt Qin to the academy.
At the door, the two got out of the carriage, and the coachman drove the carriage into the stable inside the side door, and Aunt Qin walked in with the leader.
The leader stopped in his tracks, and said, "Then what, I'll just wait for you outside, and I'm not from the academy, so it's embarrassing to go in."
Aunt Qin smiled: "What's so embarrassing about it? I'm not going to see any princes or ministers, I'm just chatting with the dean. You don't need to talk, just sit inside."
The leader is not happy.
Aunt Qin glanced at the box in his arms, and said with a smile: "You can actually put it in the carriage, I'll help you."
The leader turned sideways to avoid his extended hand, and said stubbornly, "I'll take it myself!"
Aunt Qin withdrew her hand, smiled gently and said, "Let's go in."
The leader bit the bullet and went with him.
Nanshan Academy is one of the most powerful academies in Beijing. It covers an area as large as a village. There are two dormitories, three teaching colleges, two large pastures, a cafeteria, a tower, and an office. There is a courtyard, a stable, a zoo, and a beautiful back mountain.
It was the time of rest, and there were quite a few young disciples playing Cuju on the pasture. The youngest were about seventeen or eighteen years old, and the oldest were in their forties. They were wearing uniform white court uniforms, and their hair was tied up high. Wearing a headband of the same color, he ran fiercely on the field, sweating profusely.
"Have you ever studied? Mingye." Aunt Qin said suddenly.
The leader snorted and said, "Of course I have! I have attended many more colleges than this one!"
Aunt Qin seemed to believe it, and said with a gentle smile: "I heard that you grew up on an island, what island is that?"
"Unnamed Island." The leader said casually.
"Unnamed Island? How could there be such a strange island?" Aunt Qin looked puzzled.
"How do I know?" The leader asked angrily.
Aunt Qin led the leader through a corridor, and said, "Is that island... far from Daliang?"
The leader said impatiently: "You ask so many questions, do you want to go to the island?"
Aunt Qin smiled: "I'm not afraid of your embarrassment, so I'm looking for something to chat with you?"
"It's boring." The leader rolled his eyes.
At this moment, a disciple on the field kicked in the wrong direction and kicked the Cuju towards the leader.
Seeing that he was about to be hit, Aunt Qin hugged Cuju.
The disciple ran over panting and apologized repeatedly.
Aunt Qin gave Cuju to him.
"Thank you, Master Qin!" The disciple left holding Cuju.
The leader took a look at Aunt Qin, who looked stupid, and reacted quite quickly, but it was only because he showed mercy, that it was his turn to show off.
The two walked through the pasture and entered the office yard of the masters. The office yard is a three-entry yard, and the dean's office is at the innermost. After walking through two halls and two gardens, they arrived at the site of the deans. The reason why it is the deans is because there are three deans in the academy, a total of principal deans and two vice deans, all of whom work here.
The room with the best lighting and the most spaciousness is naturally the dean's.
Aunt Qin explained his purpose to the book boy at the door.
The book boy's surprised gaze stayed on the leader for a moment, not for anything else, but because the face of the leader, even half covered, would turn all living beings upside down, it was too captivating.
The leader stared at him with a cold gaze: "What are you looking at? Then look at this seat who dug out your eyeballs!"
The book boy was startled, blinked, turned and ran into the house.
Not long after, the book boy came out again, but this time, he didn't lose his composure anymore, and said without looking sideways: "The dean is here to invite you."
Aunt Qin stood on the stone slab, took off her shoes, and stepped on the wooden floor under the porch in white footwear.
"It's really troublesome." The leader also kicked off his shoes, but after taking a few steps, he sat on the floor with the box in his arms. The floor was a little higher than the ground, and his legs were dangling. On the ground, "Go and see that dean, I'll wait for you outside!"
Aunt Qin said warmly: "You're here, let's go say hello to the dean together."
The leader said disdainfully: "What is there to fight?"
Aunt Qin said patiently: "Our family is all from Nanshan Academy. The dean is not only the teacher of your father and me, but also your elder brother's teacher."
"Fuck me?"
"say hi."
"Do not hit!"
Aunt Qin straightened her expression: "Then later..."
The leader looked over coldly: "You dare to threaten me, and I will report to the old lady when I go back!"
Aunt Qin didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Okay, I'm afraid of you, little ancestor, you can just sit here, but I've agreed first, you are not allowed to go anywhere, just wait for me here."
The leader turned his face impatiently: "I know, I know, are your mother-in-law and mother annoying?"
Aunt Qin waved at the bookboy.
The book boy stepped forward and called politely: "Master Qin."
Aunt Qin said: "This is my little nephew. He has just arrived in the capital, and he is not familiar with the place. Please help me watch carefully, and don't let him go out."
"Understood, Master Qin." The book boy responded.
Aunt Qin went to the dean's study.
The leader waited boredly outside, maybe he listened to Aunt Qin's words, the book boy stood obediently by the side of the leader, guarding every step, the leader wandered back and forth in the corridor, the book boy followed persistently .
The leader turned around, the bookboy stopped in time, and the leader said helplessly, "Where is the toilet?"
The book boy pointed to the east.
The leader put on his shoes and walked towards the toilet.
The book boy also wore heels.
The leader frowned and said, "Do you also want to watch me pee?"
The book boy choked: "I'll watch outside."
The leader approached him and asked dangerously: "Then you want to eavesdrop?"
The book boy quickly covered his ears.
The leader's eyes flashed, and he entered the hut.
The book boy kept covering his ears very honestly. Suddenly, something hit him on the shoulder. When he turned around, he saw only a small stone on the ground. He let go of his hand and picked up the stone. At that time, the voice of the leader came from the toilet: "The toilet paper is gone! Go and get me some toilet paper!"
The bookboy didn't think much, and turned to get it.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he left on his front foot, the master leader ran out with a treasure chest on his back foot.
The leader ran out of the academy in one go.
…
Qiao Wei had lunch in Luomeiyuan, and the three little buns stayed in Luomeiyuan to take a nap, while Qiaowei returned to Qinglianju, saw Yan'er drying the washed sheets at the door, and asked, "Where is the second young master?"
Yan'er bowed and said, "Second Young Master went to Luomei Courtyard for dinner."
Qiao Wei said indifferently: "I just came back from Luomei Courtyard, and he hasn't been there before."
"What? The second young master clearly said that he was going to the old lady for dinner, and even prepared a big box of gifts for the old lady..." Yan'er said with gestures.
Qiao Wei paused, and said, "Go to the concierge and ask."
"Yes!" Yan'er yelled towards the room, "Chan'er, help me dry it out, I'll go out for a while!"
"good!"
Chan'er opened the curtain and came out.
Yan'er walked to the concierge with small steps, and after a while, she ran back out of breath, and went into the room to report: "Return to Young Madam, Second Young Master and Aunt Qin went out together."
Qiao Wei wondered: "Why did he go out with Aunt Qin?"
Yan'er complied, and replied: "I heard from Xiaohuanzi that the Second Young Master wanted to go out by himself at first, but the Eldest Young Master gave the order, so Xiaohuanzi didn't let the Second Young Master go out. At this time, Aunt Qin came Yes, Second Young Master begged Qin Guye for a long time before Qin Guye took Second Young Master out."
Qiao Wei took a deep breath, gritted her teeth and said, "That guy must be trying to get away again! Has Ming An returned?"
Ming'an had an accident at home last year, so he took a half-year vacation.
Yan'er said: "I'm back."
Qiao Wei ordered: "You tell him to go to the academy immediately and bring that kid back. If the kid refuses to come back, he will be tied up for me too. If...he is no longer in the academy, let Ming'an go to the palace as soon as possible." Notify the young master!"
"yes!"
…
Yan'er immediately went to the outer courtyard to inform Ming An. Ming An didn't even sit in the carriage, chose a high-quality horse, rode the horse and rushed out of the mansion. He rushed to Nanshan Academy as fast as he could, but was told The second young master of the Ji family and Mrs. Qin both left.
"Is that the young master wearing the mask? He left first, and then Aunt Qin found out, so he hurried to find him." The book boy blamed himself, if he hadn't been duped to get the toilet paper, he wouldn't have fooled him lost.
"This young master!" Ming An stomped his feet angrily, and went to the palace without stopping, but what broke him down was that he was one step too late, and Ji Mingxiu had already left!
However, leaving is not necessarily a bad thing, the young master seldom wanders out, and he always goes back to the mansion directly after the court. When he returns to the mansion, he will naturally know that his brother is missing and will send someone to look for him.
"Master Prime Minister."
On the wide road, a gentleman in a brown dress stopped Ji Mingxiu's carriage with his hands folded.
"Who's here?" asked the coachman.
The old man said politely: "I am Yang Bi, please see the prime minister."
"It turned out to be Mr. Yang Ge." Ji Mingxiu stretched out a slender hand like jade, slowly opened the curtain, looked at Mr. Yang with a pair of cold eyes, and his attitude was just right, "Mr. Yang Ge is looking for you." Is there something wrong with me?"
Master Yang said with a smile: "I have been idle for many years, and I am ashamed to say this. I stopped the prime minister's carriage rashly today because of a merciless request. I wonder if the prime minister can take a step to speak?"
Strictly speaking, Old Yang Ge has some connections with Ji Mingxiu. When he was in his prime, he served as the emperor's teacher. At that time, the emperor was not the emperor, but just a prince. Princess Zhaoming was still young and couldn't do without her brother. I always bring a small oil bottle with me when I go to class, but the little oil bottle is very well-behaved, sitting behind my brother without crying or fussing, she does whatever others are doing, she grabs a brush to draw ghosts when others practice calligraphy, and others read books , she opened her mouth and pretended to be sloppy. In short, she spent a lot of time in Mr. Yang Ge's class.
Therefore, rounding up, this elder Yang Ge is considered to be Ji Mingxiu's master.
When Yang Ge was young and middle-aged, he was indeed a man with a clean sleeve, but when he got older, he was tired of his children and grandchildren, and became more and more stupid, and did a lot of ridiculous things. Not long ago, Mrs. Hong brought a portrait of a high-quality young man in Daliang. There was Mr. Yang Ge's grandson, and Mrs. Li threw it aside without thinking.
However, due to Princess Zhaoming's affection, Ji Mingxiu got out of the carriage anyway.
Elder Yang Ge was overjoyed, pointed to the nearby wine shop and said, "Prime Minister, please!"
Ji Mingxiu entered the restaurant.
Behind him, the Master Hierarch walked over with a treasure chest in his arms.
The leader walked for a long time, and his legs became weak. He thought that he should get out of the sphere of influence of the Ji family, so he decided to find a place to drink tea and rest his feet. not bad.
This street is full of shops, not even a peddler walking the streets, so the leader had to carry the treasure chest through the alley and go to another street, but when he was walking halfway, the opposite suddenly rushed A few masked men blocked the way of the leader.
An ominous premonition instinctively rose in the leader's heart.
The leading man said: "Catch him!"
Everyone swarmed up!
The leader turned around and ran away!
But he is holding a box, where is the opponent of this group of people? But after a few steps, he was overtaken by someone.
Five people surrounded him, one of them untied a sack from his waist, and was about to put it on his head.
The leader sternly said, "Who are you? How dare you touch me!"
None of the five people answered his question, the leader gave the brothers a wink, and the brother with the sack put it on the leader's head!
The leader dodged in a hurry, knocked away the man in front of him with a box, and the man fell to the ground. The leader stepped on his "corpse" and ran out of the alley.
The leading man dragged his brother up, spat, and said harshly, "Catch me!"
Several people chased after him.
The leader didn't know where he ran to, there seemed to be a lot more people on the street, he looked back, and those people caught up.
"There he is!" said the leading man.
The leader glared, hugged the treasure chest tightly, and plunged into a room!
There is a noisy and chaotic street outside the house, but here, it seems that there is a hole in the sky, with fan veils hanging from the top one after another, and thick carpets under the feet.
A beautifully dressed middle-aged woman opened the veil and saw a handsome man holding a big box looking around. The man's skin was as transparent as jade, his eyes were like clear spring water, and although the bridge of his nose was covered by a mask, But it can also be seen that the straight shape, not to mention the lips, are more bright red and tender than a woman's, the chin is perfect without a trace of blemish, and the figure is also good, tall and long, with a natural temperament.
The eyes of the middle-aged beautiful woman instantly stared straight. She has lived for so long, except for the one who came here today, she has never seen such a symbolic person!
As expected of her old friend, she gave away such a stunning beauty as soon as she gave it away!
The middle-aged beautiful woman gently grabbed the leader's wrist, half-covered her mouth with a cattail fan, and said with a smile: "I have waited for you, if you don't come, I will send someone to invite you!"
The leader looked at him vigilantly: "You know me?"
The middle-aged beautiful woman smiled and said, "You can say you know each other, or you can say you don't. Didn't Brother Jiu introduce you?"
The leader is at a loss.
The middle-aged beautiful woman looked at the wrist in her hand, and gradually, her eyes fell on a jade hand of the beauty. It is really like a jade in Moshang, the son is unparalleled in the world, look at this hand, it looks like that jade carving!
Knowing that she had admitted her mistake, the leader shook off her hand, turned around, and opened the door without hesitation. Seeing a few men who were asking questions, he decisively closed the door again!
The middle-aged mother smiled and said, "Little beauty, what should I call you?"
"Whatever." The leader said casually.
The middle-aged beautiful woman turned her eyes and said: "Then I will give you an alias. All the beauties here use aliases. I see that you are so beautiful, so why don't you call him Mr. Linfeng?"
"Open the door, open the door!"
Outside the door, a familiar shout sounded.
The leader's throat twitched: "If you face the wind, you will face the wind, where is my room?"
The middle-aged beautiful woman said: "Upstairs, Little Cui'er! Take Mr. Linfeng upstairs!"
"Hey! Here we come!"
A maid with delicate features led the leader to the second floor.
The group came in and searched, but they left coldly without seeing the leader.
…
In the elegant and chic wing room, Mr. Yang Ge and Ji Mingxiu sat across the table.
Delicate and delicious Kexin and a jug of fine wine are placed on the table.
Mr. Yang Ge poured a glass of wine for Ji Mingxiu, and said embarrassingly: "I know that the prime minister is busy with official duties, so I don't dare to disturb you lightly. There is really no way to ask for the prime minister's name. I hope the prime minister will look after Princess Zhaoming. For the sake of it, agree to my ruthless request."
Ji Mingxiu said calmly: "Mr. Yang Ge hasn't said what it is. If it can be done, I am bound to do it. If it can't be done, I can only say sorry to Mr. Yang Ge."
Yang Ge hurriedly said: "It can be done, it can be done! This matter is a big deal for me, but it is a trivial matter for you, Prime Minister."
Ji Mingxiu looked at him calmly, not touching the wine beside him.
Yang Ge smiled embarrassingly, and said truthfully: "It's like this. My little grandson just came back from the military camp recently and wanted to find a job in the capital. I heard that the prime minister was short of a handyman, so I thought Ask if I can get my little grandson to try it."
Ji Mingxiu said: "Li Changshi was transferred to Fuzhou to work. There is indeed a vacancy for Changshi beside me, but isn't Young Master Yang a general? Can you do those polite things?"
Mr. Yang Ge’s grandson is quite well-known in the capital. He is not ignorant, but he is really inferior. He didn’t even pass the exam as a scholar. It's a good mix in the middle school, but I don't know why I suddenly abandon Wu and follow Wen.
Ji Mingxiu glanced at Old Yang Ge: "Is there something that Old Yang is hiding from the truth?"
As soon as the title was changed, Old Yang Ge knew that he couldn't be fooled. He originally planned to have a showdown with the prime minister after the matter was completed, but the prime minister was much smarter than he imagined, and he might not succeed without a showdown. He raised his sleeve and wiped the cold sweat from his brow, and summoned up his courage to say, "My grandson committed a crime in the military camp, and he was afraid that he would be punished by the superior...he returned to the capital overnight."
Ji Mingxiu looked at him coldly: "He is a deserter! He should be executed according to the law!"
Elder Yang Ge shrank his neck in fright, plopped down on his knees, and begged for mercy: "Prime Minister, I know he was wrong, and he knows it himself, and I have taught him a lesson, and he will never do it again in the future! Just because I have taught your mother for a few days, please help me this time! I don't want a white-haired person to send a black-haired person... "
Ji Mingxiu picked up the jug and poured a glass of wine for Elder Yang: "Old Man, get up and talk."
Old Yang Ge sat back on the mat tremblingly.
After that, Ji Mingxiu seemed to have lost his memory, and didn't mention Young Master Yang's affairs at all. Yang Ge always refused to accept his attitude, wanted to ask but was afraid of offending him, and with a convenient excuse, Yang Ge walked out. After leaving the wing room, he called the waiter who was waiting on the side: "I heard that your restaurant has that?"
Xiao Er understood his meaning as soon as he saw his gestures, and said with a smile: "Yes, yes, what kind of guest officer do you want?"
Mr. Yang Ge whispered: "It's not me, it's the old man just now. Is there someone in your wine shop that can tempt him?"
"Do you know what he likes?" Xiao Er asked.
Yang Ge said: "I know what I'm asking you for? He's a bit unfeminine."
Xiaoer said: "I understand, I'll go ask you."
Elder Yang Ge took out an ingot from his bosom and stuffed it into Xiaoer's hand: "If I take good care of this master, I will cover all the drinks in your restaurant for a month!"
Xiao Er found the proprietress, and the proprietress smiled disdainfully when she heard that the other party was not close to women, "There are not many men in this world who do not cheat. There are only two possibilities for not stealing. Either he is a eunuch, or , he is a rabbit! Coincidentally, there is a cute little beauty here today, let him meet that master."
"What? Picking up the guests?" The leader looked at the beautiful middle-aged woman in front of him in a bewildered expression.
The beautiful woman is the proprietress of the restaurant.
The proprietress shook her fan and said, "What do you want to do if I don't pick up customers when you come here?"
The leader raised his chin: "I... I went to the wrong place just now. I don't know any Jiuye, and I'm not the young lady you want."
"You say it's not right?" The proprietress sneered.
The leader didn't bother to pay attention to her. Anyway, those guys should have gone far away now, and there is no need for him to hide.
The leader picked up the treasure chest and strode out, but suddenly, the door was pushed open, and several vicious thugs walked in.
The proprietress said wantonly: "You should submit obediently yourself, so you will suffer less; if you are tough, I can fulfill you, but I want to remind you, I didn't arrest you, but broke into my territory by myself. , and asked me where your house is, don’t blame me for being rude if you throw yourself into the trap!”
The leader said: "I just... I was hiding from people just now!"
The proprietress smiled coldly: "So what? You took advantage of my old lady and wanted to pat my ass and leave? What do you think of my place as a place?"
The leader snorted, "You haven't lost anything!"
The proprietress smiled and said, "Who said that? If I let you go, you will lose a lot of money in the next half month."
The leader threatened: "I am the young master of the Ji family! If you dare to touch me, I guarantee that your wine shop will not open until tomorrow!"
The proprietress smiled: "Master Ji's family? Which young master of the Ji family? The first young master who is the prime minister, or the second young master far away in the south? It can't be the third young master who can't even walk steadily!"
The leader choked. He just came back, and he didn't know that there was an extra young master in the Ji family. He calmed down and said, "In short... I am the young master of the Ji family! The prime minister is my eldest brother, you'd better let me go now, otherwise He knows that you bully me, he must cut off your head!"
"Oh, oh, I'm so scared!" The proprietress held her heart in her hands, shaking with "fear", then her face darkened, "Tie me up! Beat me hard! Beat him until he obeys!"
Several thugs clattered and pressed the leader on the table, the hand of the leader was restrained, the treasure chest fell off, the proprietress took the box away, and the leader shouted: "Give me back the box!"
The proprietress said coldly: "Do it."
The thugs in this kind of place are all serious, and when they hit the body, there will be no marks on the surface, but the flesh and blood are extremely painful. The weak and small body of the leader may not be able to withstand it.
The leader shouted: "I will warn you for the last time! The Prime Minister is really my elder brother! Whichever hand you touch me, he will cut off your hand!"
The proprietress sneered: "Did I scare you too much?"
The leader's eyes trembled: "Wait! I'll go!"
The proprietress raised her hand, and the thugs let go of the leader.
A good man doesn't suffer from the immediate disadvantages. When he goes there, he pours out that big adulterer with a drug. What can this old man say
The proprietress raised the leader's chin, took out a pill and stuffed it into his mouth, then covered his mouth, the leader's throat gurgled, and the pill was swallowed.
"Old witch! What did you eat for me!"
The proprietress stroked his face, and smiled very gently: "The medicine that makes you obedient, don't worry, as long as you take good care of me, I won't treat you badly."
Immortal! Don't fall into the hands of this seat, this seat will really kill you!
The proprietress withdrew her hand, supported the golden hairpin on her head, and said in a tone: "Dress up and send it to the guests."
"yes!"
