At this time, the Cui family held a seat for the supervisor... and their son, it can be said that they are full of talents and full of energy. Li Xueshi and Yang Sheren also felt refreshed when they saw the students in this room. They congratulated Mrs. Cui at the beginning of the day. When they came out, they greeted the group of Chinese students very cordially, and encouraged them to study and make progress in the future. Good repayment God.

Cui Xie learned from Master Li's introduction that this Yang Sheren's name was Yang Yiqing, and he had studied under Master Li Chunli together with him. Now he is from the official residence to the Shusheren, and he has been walking in the cabinet all the time. man of.

This afternoon, Li Xueshi took his younger brother out for a drink, and encountered a few liars who used fake silver to exchange for real silver from the tavern owner. Yang Sheren saw it sharply and exposed it in public. But he didn't want those people to have accomplices behind them. After calling them out, he became angry and called a group of people to chase and beat them. The two were almost in danger, but they were fortunately rescued by Xie Qianhu, who was passing by. Later, they heard that he was coming to the Cui family to celebrate their longevity, so they came along by the way.

The name Yang Yiqing was familiar to Cui Xie.

Anyone who can make him sound familiar must be a big man in the history books. No matter if their family is good enough or not, once they arrive, they will try their best to entertain them!

He asked someone to add two more seats at the main table, moved to the guest room by himself, and said to the two adults, "The student's house originally had an opera troupe. Banquet. The two adults are here, if there is wine and no drama, the taste of wine is weak, so the students will ask the opera singers to come in and sing a cappella."

When it was warm in the afternoon, I could sit outside and listen to the opera. Now it is getting dark, and the spring breeze is still cold. Otherwise, it would be better to go to the courtyard to listen to the beauty show in the evening.

Yang Yiqing smiled casually: "Don't be troublesome, it doesn't matter if there is a show or not, as long as my brother and I have a drink."

Mr. Yang has clear eyebrows, and has not yet grown a beard. He seems to be a beautiful young man, but the corners of his eyes have long been squeezed out of fine lines, and there are some corners of his mouth. He should be a person who loves to laugh.

Cui Xie couldn't help but smile with him: "Of course there is wine. It's a good wine made by Lord Xie. He gave me a few jars last year, and it has been hidden until today, just to entertain the two adults." Xiao Songyan, who is careful about being a man: "Go to your brother Qi's yard and ask Boss Xue and the others to sing a tune and drink."

In this small hall, there are too many people and few places, and it is impossible to sing operas, and can only sing songs for birthday wishes.

Xiao Songyan picked up the big-footed film and ran, as if running slowly, Jin Yiwei would raid the house and ask him. Cui Xie picked up the jug and filled the table with a few people, then walked over to his grandfather, fed him hot apricot cheese, picked up some soft steamed fish with chopsticks, removed the bones and put it in his bowl, Ask the servant girl to feed him with rice.

Li Dongyang didn't care about eating, so he took a sip of wine first, closed his eyes to slow down the wine, and praised with satisfaction: "I haven't drunk such a good wine in anyone else's house. How did it come out?"

Yang Yiqing also said: "Sweet, pure and mellow, it is not as soft and sweet as the Southern Daqu, but it has the advantage of being pure and clear. A few days ago in the palace, I heard someone talking about the good wine brewed by Lord Xie, and I didn't want to have a fate today. Drink here."

It's just that the wine that the family gave away was limited, but it was for some old Shangguan, why would you be willing to give it to a supervisor

Xie Ying was afraid that he would guess the truth by guessing wildly, so he said straightly: "This wine recipe was given to me when I rescued Cui Jiansheng in Tongzhou, and he wrote it down and gave it to me. If you give it to someone else, you have to give it to his master first."

Yang Yiqing nodded: "Master Xie is really good at saving people. We and Cui Jiansheng have been rescued by you once. It is also a fate to be able to sit at a table and drink today."

Xie Ying also squinted and smiled and said, "Why do you two need to say thanks. Investigating and punishing those wicked young men who gather crowds to deceive and bully the people is also our job as Jinyiwei. When this official catches them, the words and deeds that I listen to are as if behind their backs. There are also murderers of the same party, I am afraid that Shuntian Prefecture has insufficient manpower to sweep away the murderers.

As it should be! If Jin Yiwei can have this kind of consciousness, where is the bad deeds and notorious reputation in the past hundred years

Li Dongyang and Yang Yiqing nodded lightly and sighed: "This is sincere and good governance, I only wish to thank the Lord for restraining his subordinates when he acts, and not to hurt the livelihood of the people."

Xie Ying agreed with a smile, and persuaded them to take a few servants with them when they went out in the future. Even if they were beaten, at least someone could report to the officials. The two bosses sighed: "We also often walk outside and drink, and we have never had an accident. How can we expect those wicked young men who dare to besiege and beat up court officials."

Several people sighed while drinking and sighing about current affairs. Cui Xie was afraid that his grandfather would be nervous when he heard the evil things, and he was afraid that he would feel uncomfortable after sitting for a long time, so he accused everyone and pushed him back to the inner room to rest.

He moved Mrs. Cui as easily as moving a child. He carried the person to the bed, then shook half of the bed for him to lean on, and asked the maids to serve tea and water beside him.

After a while, he went back, only to see that the three adults had finished chatting about current affairs. Mr. Li was holding a wine glass to test the supervisors; Yang Sheren and Xie Qianhu were chatting about popular deceptions; article…

Even a few children who came with their parents did not dare to speak loudly, their faces were serious, and they felt so restrained and uncomfortable in their hearts.

Cui Xie hurriedly asked people to open the doors and windows, remove the paper corridor, and then ordered to urge the opera troupe to come up, so that everyone could be distracted and the classmates could relax.

The supervisors would rather not watch the play than let the bachelors go to school like this. Li Xueshi was about to catch up with Li Taibai in talent and learning. The more he drank, the harder the exam became, which made them tremble with fear, as if they had returned to the time when they recited articles every morning.

What's even worse is that he did not check randomly, but checked them one by one, and all the exams were not included in the syllabus.

Everyone made excuses that it was getting late, and they said goodbye firmly to Cui Xie, because they would not go back for fear of catching up with the curfew and being inspected by Xuezheng. Big Brother Li hasn't passed the test yet. Looking at the sky outside, he said, "Don't worry about the curfew. Take my post at night and ask the Cui family to send a driver to take you back."

Yang Yiqing said with a smile: "Senior brother, we didn't even bring a tooth card with us. We have to rely on Master Xie's face when we go home, so don't embarrass those prisoners."

The sentient beings echoed incessantly, citing the excuse that the book was not warm, the wife and children were inconvenient to stay too late, and hurriedly turned around and walked out.

Before they could go out, there was a sound of human voices in the courtyard, there was a light sound of piano pipes hitting, and there were one or two clear and clear sounds of beating copper.

The sound got louder and closer, and suddenly stopped outside the door, as if something fell heavily to the ground, and then there was the sound of the whirring of the wind, blowing in the fragrant mist and white smoke from the crack of the door, blocking all beings in the door.

The door suddenly opened silently from the outside, and a golden light shone in. A slender woman wearing a flower crown and a jacket stood next to the door, and the yellow light from the back made the front side full of shadows. Look at it. Unclear eyebrows. The strange wind blowing from somewhere, blowing the skirt of the woman fluttering, the fragrance and mist swarmed in...

He almost called someone out directly, closed the door and entered again. Unexpectedly, the students crowded at the door cheered: "As expected of the well-known Fushou class in the capital, this Xiaodan is like a Xu Feiqiong descended to the world!"

Just this light, this gloomy wind... They weren't frightened

Cui Xie subconsciously looked at the two bosses - Li Dongyang sighed while holding the wine, and didn't pay much attention to the song; Yang Yiqing was looking at Xiaodan across the crowd, but his face was full of admiration: "In a hurry , actually can set up a bit of fairy spirit, as expected of the blessing and longevity class who sang the five-beauty opera."

Everyone thinks it's immortal, so maybe his aesthetics are too advanced? Cui Xie scratched his chin, and simply stopped asking this question, and persuaded his classmates to stay and listen to a song before leaving.

Those supervisors would rather not listen than take the test again, full of regrets, but they also firmly refused.

Cui Xie couldn't hold back, so he had to apologize to the two bosses, and went out to arrange carriages to send his classmates and female relatives, and also asked someone to take a few new sets of "Four Books" to distribute to his son. Because only Zhang Zhaichang brought his daughter, Cui Xie gave her a set of poems and essays in Taige style from the former Sanyang Ge Lao in a big way because she didn't need to take scientific examinations and could read some idle books.

When those children came to thank him, there were tears of affection in their eyes, whether it was joy or sorrow.

After sending my classmates out of the gate, I have to go back to accompany two adults who are not afraid of breaking the curfew.

He hurriedly walked to the main courtyard, only to the outside of the courtyard, when he suddenly saw a young servant, Xiaoliu, leading Xie Ying towards the outside, he couldn't help but stopped and cupped his hands at him: "Master Xie, do you have anything to ask me to do? The servant is young and doesn't care about anything."

Xie Ying smiled politely and said, "The two adults are having a drink and listening to a play. I came out to relieve myself. I don't want to meet the host here."

"Since I'm the master, I should lead the way for you." Cui Xie came up and gave the little servant a wink. The servant gave him a grateful look and went back to serve in the hall.

He sent his family away, and seeing that there was no one left or right, he took Xie Ying to a secluded place, took his hand and touched his sleeve, and asked anxiously, "Are you not hurt—"

Xie Ying's heart warmed, and she pulled the clothes to show him: "I changed clothes before going out. They were clean, and I didn't even get any dirt on them, so I'm injured where? Although there are many people, they are all in the market place. Evil Young Master, you can't beat me, a serious military attache who is trained at a Japanese price."

Cui Xie circled around him a few times, rubbing his chest, waist and abdomen. He couldn't take it any longer. He grabbed Cui Xie's hand and pressed it in his arms, which made him quiet.

Cui Xie saw that his body was indeed clean and flat, the white clothes could not hide blood, and there were no thick bandages under the clothes, so he felt a little relieved, leaned quietly in his arms, and asked again:

"Why did you bring Li Xueshi here—"

"How could Li Xueshi want to come to your house—"

The voices of the two collided, and their eyes collided, showing a bit of confusion. Xie Ying was the first to explain: "I caught the murderers who besieged the two adults Li and Yang, and asked Xiangyue and Lizheng on the street to follow them to Shuntian Prefecture, and I said a few words to the governor of the government, Mrs. Liu. It was supposed to be separated from them. They heard that I was coming to your house as a guest, so they came with me specially."

Could it be that they frightened the murderer, seeing that Xie Ying felt particularly secure, and had to follow him

Xie Ying shook his head: "It seems that they came after hearing your name, so I want to ask you: Did you especially vote for his fate when you met Li Xueshi in the palace?"

Choi Xie was really confused.

He is a supervisor and follows a five-rank servant to teach a bachelor, so he can't talk about the fate, right

After all, he sneaked into the palace and taught the "Poems" to the prince, which means that he was an excellent college student. He was selected to come to the Great Hall of the People to present flowers to the leaders and ask the leaders to praise them in public. This should be over. Li Dongyang just recognized him and gave him pictures and posts. Isn't that the central leadership caring for ordinary students and sending some condolences

He is an ordinary student, and it is enough to write a thank-you letter to the leader to receive these things. If he wants to have a good relationship, he will have to wait until he is admitted to the jinshi, after he enters the court!

He really couldn't figure it out, so he told Xie Ying about these things. Xie Ying pondered for a while, then suddenly smiled: "After Li Xueshi sent you a post, you only wrote a letter back to him, but never came to the door in person?"

Cui Xie said in a puzzled tone: "How can I enter the door of a bachelor at random with my identity? Isn't it all about looking at the door and posting. Besides, the things he gave me are not the addition of a bet, they are all their officials' jokes, I just It's the one who was compared, and I have to have a name for myself."

Xie Ying smiled and said: "I'm afraid you know the wrong place, and what Mr. Li wants is that you don't know it." He dragged Cui Xie to the hall, and Cui Xie hurriedly pulled his clothes and shouted: " You haven't solved it yet..."

What to do, it's just an excuse to come out to see him.

He patted Cui Xie and persuaded: "You are such a student, the emperor and the crown prince are thinking of you, it's not surprising that any bachelor will see you. Later, you will be more attentive to the guests, Master Li is a really learned man. , what is the suzerain of the 'Chaling Sect', Yang Sheren is also someone who can be used by the imperial front, and you will benefit from their care."

The two of them were both wearing scholar's uniforms with fluttering sleeves. When they walked side by side, their sleeves were entangled from time to time, and they couldn't tell whether the hands below were holding or splitting, so they entered the yard in such an open and fair manner.

At this time, the hall was singing "The longevity of the wish is like the waves of the sea in the east". The two pushed open the door and went in. That Xiaodan just finished singing a "Tea Picking Song", blessed them, and then sang "Pink Butterfly". The two bosses listened to the song and poured their own drinks. His face was slightly red, and his expression was very happy.

Seeing Cui Xie go in, Li Dongyang beckoned to him: "Suri, you are busy studying and taking exams, so it's fine if you can't see you. Why did you come to your house and still look like you didn't see your master?"

Cui Xie had just listened to Xie Ying's analysis of Big Brother Li's intention to help him, and he could hear some complaints, and tentatively replied: "A student is just a prison student, and his talents are limited. Luckily, how can you enter the palace frequently?"

Li Dongyang held the cup and asked him, "You can't go to the palace frequently, but the threshold of my scholar's residence is not very high. How come I haven't seen you to visit after waiting for these days?"

Did you really call Brother Xie right

Cui Xie was a little surprised, and Yang Yiqing smiled beside him: "Senior brother is a little drunk, speak frankly, don't worry about it. He tested your sutras in the palace, and went back to me and brother Liu and told me that you are smart and smart. Tou, he is also a person who has the heart to do learning, and has the heart to guide you to study."

Li Dongyang squinted his eyes and said, "It's not smart enough. If it's really smart, then my post should come to the door. How can I wait until today?"

He seemed a little regretful as he spoke, patted the back of Yang Yiqing's hand and said, "Junior brother told him what to do, I just pity him for a while and praise him a few words, it's not that there is a shortage of disciples."
