Although he was hungover, when it was time to go to Xiumuyuan to practice martial arts, Brother Jin closed his eyes and sat up while moaning.

Ah Jin. Ah Jin held his head and poured me a basin of cold water. I want to go to Xiumuyuan.

You are like this, even if you can't stand still, you go to Xiumuyuan to answer him. It's not Ajin who has a sweet voice with a hint of reverence, but his mother's cold voice with a hint of anger.

Brother Jin was startled and immediately opened his eyes.

Although he had a terrible headache, he still managed to smile: Mom, why are you here?

You come back at midnight every day, why should I come and see you? Eleven's mother's expression is indifferent, and there is no hint of happiness or anger, but it still makes Brother Jin feel uneasy: Mother, I'm a bit special today. Lin Tongzhi is going to Tianjin to be the vice president.

We are in the army, so everyone drank happily. You don’t know Lin Tongzhi? His name is Lin Jun, he is from Xishan Camp. When he was young, he served under his father, so I had a few more drinks with him.

. I'm not like this usually.

Okay, okay, Xu Lingyi is standing at the bedside to help his son out. We will talk about this later. I asked someone to bring a message to Master Pang. You can sleep for one more hour and then go to Xiumuyuan in an hour. Lie down quickly.

Let's take a break

Dad, you, you are here too. Only then did Brother Jin notice Xu Lingyi, his eyes widened and he couldn't believe it.

I didn't do anything, so why are my father and mother here?

He looked at Eleven Niang and then at Xu Lingyi, his face full of confusion.

Mr. Six, you are drunk. I don’t know how worried the Marquis and Madam are. Ajin said quickly, Madam has been waiting for you since yesterday afternoon. You vomited. Madam helped you change your clothes and drink sobering soup.

.I stayed by your bedside with Mr. Marquis, and I haven’t even closed my eyes yet.

My parents, my brother Jin, looked at Eleven Niang and Xu Lingyi in shock, and nodded slowly, I. I looked very ashamed.

Get some sleep first. Xu Lingyi's voice was like gentle breeze and drizzle. If anything happens, we'll talk about it later. Then he pulled Eleven Niang. He's fine now, so you don't have to worry. Let's go and have a rest. His hand strength has just improved.

Da, looked like he was insisting on pulling her away. But he didn't show it in his expression. Instead, he hesitated and said, practicing martial arts is like sailing against the current, you can't stop for a day. Otherwise, I won't let you rest for an hour.

Then we went to Hidekiin

Seeing Brother Jin like this, although it is not appropriate for him to go to Xiumuyuan again, it will be more serious if he delays his homework because he is drunk. When he feels that giving up is so easy, he will encounter difficulties that need to be overcome in the future.

Will she choose to give up because of this? So when Xu Lingyi proposed to let brother Jin rest for an hour before going to Xiumuyuan. Eleven Niang agreed. She stood up.

Brother Jin's face turned red.

He has moved to the outer courtyard and is now an adult. His parents are so worried about him, even staying up all night to watch over him who is hungover.

Daddy, I, I will never be like this again. Brother Jin was so embarrassed that he lifted the quilt and was about to get up. I am going to Xiumuyuan. But my body staggered and I almost fell.

This was not the time to show off. Xu Lingyi helped him up in time, with a slightly unhappy expression. He would admit his mistakes when it was time to do so, and correct them when it was time to correct them. This is the spirit of a man.

Brother Jin felt even more ashamed: I know, but daddy stood up straight.

Xu Lingyi smiled and patted his shoulder, and Shigong Niang left Brother Jin's house.

It was still dark outside. After arriving in this world, it was the first time for Eleven Niang to stay up late like this and she felt a little dizzy when she came out. Xu Lingyi hurriedly helped her: "Is it okay?" Shen Yidao said, "Let's rest in the bathroom in the study outside today."

It's close to where Brother Jin lives.

Eleven Niang nodded and went to Nuange with Xu Lingyi.

She told Brother Jin what he said when he was drunk: Since he also feels bad, why not let him go back to Jiayuguan early?

Wait until the Buddha’s birthday on the eighth day of April before going. No one has slept in the Nuang Pavilion for a long time. The quilt smells of camphor wood. Xu Lingyi helps Eleven Niang tuck in the quilt, and then go to the temple with him to burn incense to the Bodhisattva.

, let the Bodhisattva bless him a smooth journey.

Is it too late to go to Eleven Niang Shen Yin after the eighth day of April? You and Brother Jin have agreed to stay in Jiayuguan for two years. If you calculate on your fingers, he can stay in Jiayuguan for one year.

That’s pretty good.

He was not originally prepared to stay in Jiayuguan for a long time. Xu Lingyi disapproved and said with a smile. Just one year. What matters is whether he can successfully stay in other health centers for three years.

Seeing how confident he was, Eleven Niang didn't ask any more questions, just said yes, thinking about how to persuade Brother Jin to stop drinking, and gradually fell into sleep.

., After getting up, Eleven Niang went to see Brother Jin first. He had not come back from Xiumuyuan, so Eleven Niang went back to Nuange to have breakfast with Xu Lingyi, and then went to say hello to Mrs. Tai.

Why didn't Brother Jin come with you? The Madam's eyes fell behind the two of them, with a disappointed expression on her face.

Brother Jin has to practice boxing every morning. The second lady smiled and said: How can he be so fast?

Yes, I forgot that the lady smiled with her eyes narrowed, looking very happy.

Brother Jin is here.

His face was a little pale, and he was not full of energy. The wife's eyes were not good now, and she felt that his answers were very convincing, so she patted his hand with a smile, while the second wife looked at Brother Jin several times.

When the Crown Prince came out, Xu Lingyi asked Brother Jin: Are you feeling better?

Okay, Brother Jin smiled sheepishly.

Don't underestimate this hangover. Sometimes it takes a few days to recover. Xu Lingyi's attitude is gentle. Go back and take a nap to recuperate.

Brother Jin smiled and said yes.

Xu Lingyi told him about his childhood: I am two years younger than you. It was the wine that your Uncle Zhou stole from home. Your Uncle Zhou and Prince Shun, me, your Uncle Zhou, and Prince Shun hid in the greenhouse of our house to drink. As a result, you were killed.

A clivia grown by my grandfather was broken into pieces.

Just as he was talking, a boy ran over with a red and gold invitation.

Marquis, Madam, Sixth Young Master, he respectfully handed it to Brother Jin. It was a post from Lin Tongzhi of Xishan Daying.

Brother Jin read the post and explained to Xu Lingyi and Eleven Niang: He has set up a boat on the Xiyuan Canal and invited me to come over for a drink tonight. Then he said to the boy, give the post to Chang'an and ask Chang'an to follow him.

The person who sent the post replied to the letter saying that I was hungover and I would decide whether to go or not after I woke up. He did not immediately hand the post to the boy, but looked at Xu Lingyi and Eleven Niang, as if

I'm asking them if this is okay.

Xu Lingyi said with a slight smile, and Eleven Niang also showed a pleased expression.

Brother Jin then handed the post to the young man, who quickly went to Qingyang Residence.

Xu Lingyi reminded Brother Jin: When they become familiar with each other after drinking wine, sending Chang An to send a big gift will be regarded as fulfilling Lin Jun's etiquette.

Brother Jin hurriedly said yes.

Deng Hua came over in a hurry: Lord Marquis, the palace servant came over and said it was a message from the emperor.

Xu Lingyi went to the outer courtyard.

When he came back for lunch at noon, he said to Eleven Niang: Your Majesty, I am going to the palace at the beginning of tomorrow.

Do you know what it is?

Without asking, Xu Lingyi said, it was already early and it was almost time to go to court. Most of them had something to ask me privately, even if they asked the chamberlain who delivered the order, they would not know. Then he said, "Please help me take out the court clothes."

Eleven Niang responded, ironed her court clothes herself, and sent Xu Lingyi out two hours early the next day.

Xu Lingyi had entered the emperor's inner study many times, and all the eunuchs serving in the Qianqing Palace also knew him and talked to him with a smile while waiting for the emperor to leave the court.

After a while, a eunuch who opened the way ran in. As soon as Xu Lingyi stood at the door, the emperor's attendant had already arrived.

Yinghua had already arrived. The emperor addressed Xu Lingyi with a slightly affectionate name, and ordered Eunuch He to set up a seat for the two beauties. Only then did Xu Lingyi find that surrounding the emperor, there was a man standing with his head bowed and wearing a bright red court dress with peacock patches. of officials.

He is of medium height and has a weathered face. He looks like a sixty-year-old man, but his eyes are very sharp. At first glance, he is not an ordinary person.

It's someone he doesn't recognize

Xu Lingyi smiled and nodded at him like a mirror.

The man also smiled and nodded, looking very kind.

Xu Lingyi smiled secretly, turned around and went into the inner room to read.

The man stared at his back with a thoughtful expression on his face, and then hurriedly followed him into the inner room to study.

The two of them thanked the emperor respectfully and sat on the Grand Master's chair nearby.

The emperor took off his shoes, sat casually on the big Kang by the window, and ordered the young eunuch to serve Biluo Chun for the two of them: It's spring, drink some green tea to clear away the heat. Then he pointed to the people around Xu Lingyi and said to Xu Lingyi, This is the Governor of Water Transport, Chen Bozhi. This is your first time meeting him, right? He used to be the magistrate of Chun'an County. When Chun'an was flooded, Mr. Chen Ge recommended him. Later, he helped me build a bridge to connect the river. He was my great meritorious official.

Chen Bozhi stood up in fear and knelt down, not daring to say a word.

Xu Lingyi also stood up: Congratulations to the emperor for finding a good minister. I have heard of Mr. Chen's reputation for a long time, but I have never had the chance to meet him. When I met him today, he was indeed well-deserved. He is indeed a practical person.

He didn't dare to be praised by Marquis Yongping... Chen Bozhi hurriedly said, "Wei Chen is just doing his duty as a minister."

Before he could say anything, the emperor suddenly came in: "Since you know this, why did you still allow your youngest son to injure Mr. Chen's only son?" He said with a stern expression, pointing to the memorial on the kang table, and showed it to Marquis Yongping.

When the emperor is angry, who would not be frightened?

Xu Lingyi and Chen Bozhi both lowered their heads.

The little eunuch gingerly held a stack of memorials in front of Xu Lingyi.
Chapter completed!
