Sun Qingmu watched Duan Jingjin leave, sighing in his heart that Mr. Duan has two beautiful sons, but it's a pity...
…
Xin Yiren accepted the order and hurried back home.
The old housekeeper outside the study stopped the young master with a wry smile and saluted respectfully: "Slave, please see Xin Zhaoyi. Zhaoyi, you can't go in. The master has ordered that no one can go in." Otherwise, my wife wouldn't be able to wait outside: "Please.
Zhaoyi, please don’t make things difficult for me.”[
Mrs. Xin was waiting at the door, wiping her tears, surrounded by the maids and Lao Dong. She was so good, but why did the master bring Shu'er in so aggressively, and even asked the housekeeper to bring in the family law? What was he going to do?
Mrs. Xin looked worriedly at Mr. Xin who rushed back. At this moment, she had no prejudice at all. She just hoped that he could go in and persuade the master not to do anything wrong with the child. If we don't pass the top three exams, we won't pass. Why should we vent our anger on the child!
Seeing that the old lady was anxious, Xin Yiren gritted his teeth and the butler rushed in: "Don't follow me! As Zhaoyi, I order you to stay where you are!" After Xin Yiren finished speaking without hope, he discovered that the butler was really
I stopped moving, feeling a sense of surprise in my heart. But I thought now was not the time to be in a daze, so I hurriedly opened the study door and went in.
Mrs. Xin immediately waited for the maid and servant to take a few steps forward, hoping to see something through the crack of the open door. However, seeing the door quickly closing again, she couldn't help but become even more anxious: "What should we do?"
The little maid hurriedly expressed her gratitude to Madam: "Madam, don't worry, Zhaoyi has gone in, how can I give Zhaoyi face, please don't worry..."
In the dull study, the rosewood furniture exudes a solemn atmosphere, and the smoke from the incense burner exudes a gloomy aroma. I wonder if it has infected the master's anxiety.
When Xin Cheng heard the door knock, the family law he raised still fell hard on Xin Shu's back: "I let you make your own decisions! You unfilial son! You think you are the only one who is smart! You can get the top prize just because you don't write poems or poems."
! What do you disdain! Even if you write it, you may not be included in the top three! It’s okay if you don’t write it! I will save you the embarrassment!" - Bang! Bang! -
Xin Shu gritted his teeth and remained motionless.
Xin Cheng was even more furious: "Why did I give birth to such an unfilial son like you! You might as well not take part in the spring examination for me!"
Xin Yiren had never seen this formation of the Xin family, but it was not painful for him who was used to the royal family. He didn't understand why his eldest brother made his father angry. His father placed all his hopes on his eldest brother.
Disappointing him will definitely break his heart.
Xin Yiren hurried over and held his father's hand that was about to be struck down again: "Dad! What are you doing! Brother is now a judge! You can't torture privately!"
Xin Cheng was already angry and disowned his relatives. Today he not only lost face in front of the emperor and his colleagues, but also almost ruined the Xin family because of this bastard: "I will beat this unfilial son to death today! Otherwise the Xin family will be destroyed in his hands sooner or later!
Who does he think of as the emperor! If you want to draw a crane, just draw it! Who asked you to draw it! -" He started to fight again!
Xin Yiren snatched it and threw it aside: "Dad, brother, he didn't mean it. Don't be angry. Dad is not worried that the emperor will hold the elder brother responsible. You are afraid that something will happen to the elder brother. The child asked the emperor, and the emperor said that it was just a casual incident.
He said, and also said that the eldest brother's performance is still the same, and he will be given the post of county magistrate. If the eldest brother wants to stay in Shengdu and become an official, that is fine. The official position will be chosen by the eldest brother, so don't be angry with the eldest brother."
Hearing this, Xin Cheng pointed at Xin Shu with even more embarrassment: "I have cultivated you in vain, you might as well see clearly, I beg you to take the top three exams! I just want you to leave a good impression on the emperor, even if you don't
You can’t bring glory to the Xin family, but you can’t bring shame to the Xin family, but you—you—”
Xin Cheng instantly looked at his younger son who was supporting him, and asked carefully: "The emperor really said that he will not be held accountable?"
Xin Yiren nodded seriously and turned around to pour water for his father. Then he came back and put the water in his father's hand. He promised with bright eyes: "Well, dad, don't worry, the emperor is a very good person. What he said must be true. The emperor is exaggerating."
The paintings I drew are beautiful.”
Xin Cheng looked at his youngest son's silly smile and felt that it was really unconvincing. He thought about how Xin Cheng, who had been running the family rigorously for many years, gave birth to such a simple-minded son: "Why don't you get up! I didn't see your brother begging for mercy."
!”
Xin Shu knelt down from the vine in the study and knelt in front of his father again. He looked at his father with guilt in his eyes: "Dad, it's the child's fault. The child didn't think well. I can hit or scold him as I please! My child.
Let dad worry about it."
Xin Cheng finally heard a human saying. All the honor he had lived for most of his life was not for him. What would he have done without Xin Shu? Xin Cheng accidentally saw Xin Yiren who was trying to please him. It didn't mean that he didn't love his son.
, but anyway, I did that kind of prostitution...don’t mention it, don’t mention it.[
Xin Cheng pulled Xin Yiren to his side and asked the emperor what he meant sentence by sentence.
Xin Yiren told the truth: "The emperor said that the subject matter is not limited to him. Maybe the eldest brother missed the previous one, so he asked dad not to care. He also said that becoming an official is not an imperial examination. It is a long-term thing. As long as the eldest brother learns this
After this lesson, you should be more serious about your work, and the emperor thinks it will be a good thing for your eldest brother."
Xin Cheng finally put his heart at ease after listening to it. Even if the emperor was coaxing him out of love for his younger son, he felt that if the emperor was willing to coax him, he would not pursue Xin Shu's problem: "Good boy, thank you for working on your elder brother's affairs.
,Have you got a meal yet."
When Xin Yiren saw his father being kind to him, he was immediately moved. He wanted to say that he had not eaten, but he felt that he was too rash. Then he looked at his angry father and then at his brother who was still kneeling. They must have something to say, so
He said with a smile: "After eating, I have to go to the military camp in the afternoon, so I won't disturb daddy. My son will go first." He ignored the wishes of his eldest brother and daddy and left.
Xin Cheng stood at the door of the study with a sigh, watching his youngest son walk away, feeling unhappy in his heart. The useless child turned out to be older.
The old lady looked at her injured son excitedly and fainted instantly.
Xin Shu rushed over and supported her: "Mother, mother, go find the doctor quickly."
The entire Xin family was immediately busy, and Xin Cheng couldn't help but get a bunch of complaints from the 'unfilial son'!
…
The twin city towers of the imperial capital were filled with menacing darkness under the evening haze. The sudden late rain caught everyone off guard, and the crowds of people rushing home were soaked in the water.
Zhou Tian stood on the stage of the palace, looked at the flower branches wet by the rain, and said with emotion: "Spring rain is as precious as oil."
Mr. Lu just came over with the certificate in hand. He couldn't help laughing when he heard it: "Whatever the emperor said, it's already summer now. Aren't you Xia Yu worthless? If you want me to say that Xia Yu is the most valuable."
Zhou Tian glanced at him: "What do you know? What you are talking about is personal enjoyment. I am worried about the crops in the fields. You can talk to me about spring and summer."
Eunuch Lu immediately apologized and smiled: "Yes, I don't dare to argue with the emperor. Then I dare to ask, the emperor who cares about the country and the people, would you like some snacks? They are freshly baked in the imperial kitchen."
Zhou Tian stretched his sleeves pretending to be charitable, pinched one with difficulty with his fingers, and took a bite. It was crispy and tender: "Yes, not bad, not bad, reward."
"Yes." Eunuch Lu smiled even more happily: "The emperor has a decree to reward this slave a piece of silver."
Zhou Tian looked at Eunuch Lu in surprise: "Did you do this?"
Eunuch Lu nodded and brought a cup of bean soup to the emperor: "Seeing that the emperor has had a bad appetite these past two days, I remembered some snacks I had eaten at home before. I didn't expect that the emperor would like it. Then I will be lucky. I will make snacks to comfort you in the future.
The emperor is happy."
Zhou Tian couldn't help laughing in her heart when she heard this. Not to mention her actual age of more than thirty, even if she was in her forties, she would be happy to hear someone caring about her: "This is the first time I heard you talk about family members. Is there anyone else in your family?"
She remembered that the clan would usually send a child under the name of a clan member who became an eunuch. With Eunuch Lu's status, he should have it, right?
Eunuch Lu smiled and looked at the emperor fondly: "Isn't the servant's family just a big family in the palace? The slave entered the palace at the age of three. He didn't remember anything at that time. Except for the slave's master, the slave remembers the emperor. The emperor will soon
Eat, it will cool down after a while."
Zhou Tian found that Eunuch Lu didn't care about this question and was not interested in her own life experience. What else did she want to ask, but instead she felt that she was ignorant. Forget it, Eunuch Lu was her Eunuch Lu anyway, and she would be happy with a mouthful of soup and
There will definitely be food for Eunuch Lu! It sounds like she has become the king of the mountain!
Zhou Tianzheng was wearing cakes with weird flavors because she was very sure that her father-in-law Lu, who had not cooked for a long time, must have put in some wrong ingredients. What was strange was that she actually found them delicious. Could it be that her taste has changed since she was pregnant? [
Zhou Tian swallowed a small amount of sweet cake and quickly drank water. Hearing the movement outside, he couldn't help but pat his chest: "What's going on outside?"
Eunuch Lu put down the kettle: "Your Majesty, eat while I go and take a look."
Su Yi, Shen Fei, and Sun Qingmu were each standing outside the palace with their own eunuchs and parasols. The commotion just now was caused by Su Yi and Shen Fei getting into trouble over the issue of staring at the steps in front of the palace, and now they were getting angry.
Shen Fei was wearing a sky-blue palace robe and a long belt, which tallened up his already handsome figure. His long hair was scattered on his shoulders. He was bathed in aqua blue under a dark brown oil-paper umbrella, like a fairy on a rainy night.
He's so handsome that he can't bear to look at her.
The eunuch in charge of Su Yi's family had fallen to the ground. It seemed that he had suffered a hidden loss. Su Yi, wearing a black robe with a cross-over collar, stared at Shen Fei displeased: "What do you mean! Bullying others with power? This is the imperial palace, not yours."
Yaohua Palace! I’m lucky with the methods of your guard commander!”
Shen Fei snorted coldly and looked at him: "If you have the ability, the commander of the imperial guards will also use your methods. I should take over."
"You" Su Yi quickly retracted his anger. A good man won't suffer the immediate loss. Isn't he seeking death by competing with Tongtian Pavilion Master in martial arts? "Master Sun is hiding behind Pavilion Master Shen's back to get an advantage. He just doesn't know why you two entered the Emperor's Palace."
It’s not that we want to serve the emperor together.”
Sun Qingmu sighed and walked around him: "Mr. Su, there should be a first-come-first-served basis. Pavilion Master Shen and I arrived first, so why do you have to fight for the first step? If Commander Su hadn't taken a step beyond his own size, he would have been able to
I suffered a loss."
Su Yiqi's face turned red, good job! Now that they are connected, there will be no place for him to talk in the harem in the future! "Sun Qingmu! Don't forget who you were back then! Now here"
"What's the fuss about? What's the fuss about? I don't know the emperor." When Eunuch Lu saw the three male masters, he immediately put on a smile and showed full courtesy in the scene: "Hey, it turns out they are three masters. Look at the slave's mouth.
Young Master, don't be as knowledgeable as an old slave."
When Eunuch Lu saw the lantern on the ground, he immediately said anxiously: "What's going on? What bold slave dares to lose his hand in the emperor's palace? Did he learn the rules of entering the palace in vain? What if the emperor is surprised? How can you do it?
A head was chopped off!”
When Su Yi saw Eunuch Lu getting angry, his heart trembled. He was so miserable that he kicked the iron plate. Why did he forget that Eunuch Lu was the doorkeeper! If he got angry, all face would be lost: "How are you, Eunuch Lu?"
"Well done, Concubine Su, I don't want to be a slave. I just don't know if this slave, old slave, can be punished." Noisy! Noisy! Noisy! Everyone is making trouble for the emperor and the subordinates. Are they going to have to show up to the emperor if they are favored that day! These people are unconscious
Seriously, something will happen if you don’t press it for a while!
Sometimes he couldn't help but think that if the emperor were a good man and had a few female concubines, at least he wouldn't behave so ugly on the outside!
Su Yi hurriedly handed the people on the ground forward: "It's their blessing that Eunuch Lu helps me take care of the slaves. Xiaochuanzi, why don't you thank Eunuch Lu." Then he quickly whispered in his ear: "Don't worry, Master, I will find a way.
Save you."
Shen Fei also said hello to Eunuch Lu, and his handsome smile could be seen clearly by Eunuch Lu even without the palace lanterns shining on it: "Eunuch Lu, the weather is getting cold. I and I made bird's nest for the emperor. I want to come and see the emperor."
, I wonder if it is inconvenient for the emperor to put it away, and the weather is getting colder, so the emperor has some clothes to keep out the cold."
Su Yi almost felt sick listening to Shen Fei's tone of voice. He really thought that he was neither a man nor a woman: "I didn't know that it takes two people to cook a bowl of bird's nest. I've learned a lot!"
