Chapter 46 Midnight
The official yamen in Huangshadao City was brightly lit, and there was no night at all, and the armor on the imperial guards inside and outside was shining.
In casual clothes and a little drunk on his face, Song Yuan stopped in the courtyard of the government office, looked down at the bluestone floor, and said, "I remember that the stone slabs were used in the government office."
The officials of Huangshadao City who were accompanying him nodded: "The master is very keen, and it is made in the same place."
Song Yuan bent over and stretched out his hand to touch the floor, saying, "This is not my wise eye. I am so familiar with it. I missed the time when I saw you every day..." As he spoke, he was sad and seemed to cry.
I remember that you were just a small postmaster at the outskirts of Huangshadao City. It was not your turn to come to this official office once a year. Where did you come to see him every day... The official discussed his heart, sighed on his face, and said with a smile: "My mourn on the day of the Lord." His voice was as sad as he said.
Song Yuan stood up, raised his sleeve and wiped the corners of his eyes, and said, "Have you all settled your place in Xiangye Chen?"
The official responded: "Xiaoguan has just gone to see it. Xiangye Chen and others are discussing the announcement of the rules of the gentleman's test." There are five days left, and the gentleman's test is about to begin. While pleased, take out a piece of paper, "Xiaoguan write down and copy it, and please read it."
This time, the gentleman tried to take charge of Wang Lieyang, and Qin Tan Gong got the position of supervisor.
Song Yuan waved his hand and said, "How can I understand these things? Let them go." He yawned again.
The officials immediately understood the bow and said retreat. Song Yuan walked towards the inner house with his hands behind his back. There were no idle people waiting except the entire imperial guards. However, when he stepped into the door, a girl was sitting at the table, looking through the book under the lamp, and when he heard footsteps, he turned his head, and a layer of gauze drooped from his forehead covered his face.
Song Yuan's smile dissipated: "Yingying, you are here... are you going to live here?"
Song Yinger said, "No, I'm here to see you, Dad." He reached out and lifted the veil, smiled at the corner of his mouth, "I live well outside, don't worry Dad."
Song Yuan sighed a little uneasy: "Huangshadao City is mixed at this time, so I am really uneasy..."
Song Yinger said: "It is because of the mixed personnel that no one pays attention to me." His eyes were smiling, "Dad, I spent a day shopping, ate a lot of delicious food, and saw so many candidates... I have different styles."
Song Ying'er's whereabouts, Song Yuan naturally knew that in the past, he could only go out occasionally while night, but now he was like a bird coming out of the cage... Song Yuan nodded with a sad and joyful expression.
Song Yinger smiled again and said solemnly: "Dad, you must pay attention to safety... If it weren't for me, you wouldn't use it here."
Song Yuan laughed and said, "Don't worry." He lowered his voice, "I will never go out." He looked at the dark night outside, "And those who come here don't care about killing me."
....
....
The night was deep, and the imperial palace in the capital fell silent. A group of palace maids and eunuchs walked in it with palace lanterns. Soon they came to a door, and the guards outside the door saluted: "The Queen Mother."
Empress Dowager Qin stepped straight in, and Qin Tan was just reviewing the memorials.
"Brother, is Qi Niang here?" Empress Dowager Qin asked happily.
Qin Tan Gong nodded, looked up and stopped writing, and said, "Today is here."
Empress Dowager Qin shook hands and walked a few steps in the house, with her eyebrows and eyes smiling, and said, "It's great, it won't take long to see you in the capital." She frowned again, "Why don't my brother go to Huangshadao? That thing is reliable to leave to Song Yuanke? He went to Huangshadao for his daughter... That clown actually wanted to participate in the gentleman exam, and just praise her for being an outstanding person only?"
Qin Tan Gong smiled and said, "She is really outstanding, she is not a false reputation."
Empress Dowager Qin curled her lips and said, "What's the use?" What's the use of being talented and learning? She was too lazy to talk about this girl. If it weren't for winning over Song Yuan, she wouldn't be lazy to take a look. "Song Yuan was hurting his daughter in order to let everyone see him and no one paid attention. When he went to Huangshadao, he would definitely hide in the government office and would not come out... What can he do?"
Qin Tan Gong closed the memorial in his hand and smiled, "He couldn't do anything at all. He was the craftsmen who did it. He could do nothing."
What's the reason? Empress Dowager Qin sighed and said, "I hope that this time I can open the underground palace. Without the jade seal, I will always be held hostage by those old guys, so that the rumors can be completely quelled. Your Majesty's famous sayings are just right."
Qin Tan said justice: "Empress, don't worry too much. I hope that we are not the only one who opens the underground palace."
Empress Dowager Qin was shocked and said, "More than that? Brother, do you mean that the people of the Five Pest Army will go? Yes, Huangshadao held a gentleman's test, and those people will take the opportunity to sneak in..." The thought flashed and stopped in front of Qin Tan Gong, his face turned pale, "Wouldn't it be easy for them to open the underground palace? Just bring the Emperor Baozhang..."
Qin Tan said justice: "So this is not just right, killing two birds with one stone."
Empress Dowager Qin suddenly said, "It turns out that my brother is going to lead them to fall into the trap." A gentleman tried to do so much, resolved the embarrassment with King Xiliang, satisfied Qin Qiniang's desire to go home, search for the jade seal, and even the five worm soldiers, and even the Emperor Baozhang fell into the trap... It's not just a killing of two birds with one stone, it's just a matter of numbers. The old guy Wang Lieyang was only concerned about robbing the gentleman to win over the talent reputation of scholars all over the world, and was proud to exclude Qin Tan Gong. He never thought that they didn't even see it. Empress Dowager Qin was furious and said, "Brother is so amazing."
Qin Tan said justice: "What's so great about this? A small matter. If we can open the underground palace, we can open it. If we can't open it, it's the same. Our goal is not to open the underground palace, but the jade seal. As long as the jade seal appears, it will not be in our hands." He looked at Empress Dowager Qin and smiled slightly, "I dared to rob it nine years ago, but I dared not rob it nine years later?"
....
....
The Huangshadao City was finally much quieter late at night, with many restaurants and tea shops open. There were not many people on the street. Only candidates who entered the city in the middle of the night looked for their own residence, either anxious or calm. When they saw the veiled girl coming towards them, everyone just took a look. When they came to a strange place, they were strangers and they were not in the mood to explore others.
The girl who was walking slowly suddenly stopped and stood at a fork in the road. She seemed to know where to go.
Are you lost? The man who followed closely behind stepped forward and whispered, "Miss, go here." He stretched out his hand and pointed in one direction.
Song Ying'er looked back at him, the night wind blew the veil, revealing a smile on her lips, and said, "Ji Chong, I remember Lu, I have a good memory."
Ji Chong responded to the sound.
Song Ying'er looked forward again and said, "I still remember here. I've been here before." She reached out and stroked her cheeks and gently stroked the hideous scar. "To me, it's not a new city, but an old place."
Revisiting the old place makes people sleepless.
Xue Qing had a good night's sleep, and opened his eyes at a fixed time like the past. The strange bed, the strange environment, and the strange noise outside the door.
"Are you awake?" Guo Zian asked in a familiar voice, "I'll go get breakfast and come back to eat."
After entering Huangshadao City, you can also keep it in charge. Of course, if you want to spend money on your own, you can also eat it.
Xue Qing said oh, and was about to answer Zhang Shuangtong slammed the door and slammed the head and shouted: "Don't worry about eating, go and see, the detailed list of gentleman's trial has been posted."
