Taohua Lane, Su House.

Seeing that the night was getting darker outside, Lin Daiyu stood up and said, "Don't wait, move the luggage on the table, let's have a meal first."

Xing Xiuyan has lived here for more than 20 days, and now she is finally going back to Jiao’s house. She actually doesn’t have much luggage, but she can’t help but fill it in, almost bringing the rare things Jiao Shun has sent these days.

Half of it was given to her.

This is the result of Xing Xiuyan's efforts to refuse.

Xing Xiuyan smiled and stuffed her a piece of snack and said, "When I leave, you will eat whatever you like, so I'll take a snack to make up the patches first-or else the master will come later, but I'm eating a lot of food.

, but it became a kind of decorum.”

Lin Daiyu took the snack under her nose, looked it over and over for a while, then sighed and put it back on the plate, and used her hand that didn't touch the snack to hold the corner of Xing Xiuyan's clothes and said, "I just can't bear to leave my sister, there is a flat place there.

I'm in charge, what's there to worry about sister?"

Xing Xiuyan smiled and refused to answer. She took out a handkerchief and wiped the powder from her hands first, and then wiped her own hands.

Although she couldn't bear to part with Lin Daimei, her mistress is pregnant now. If she had been outside for a long time, even Xiangyun and Xu had no objection, they were afraid that the people below would spread gossip.

Lin Daiyu saw Xing Xiuyan smiling but did not answer. She sat back on the Arhat's bed in a disgust and said pitifully: "That sister, I have to come to see me often if I have time in the future."

"If you don't say it, I'm here too."

Xing Xiuyan also sat side by side with her, holding her shoulder and said, "Everyone next to you is good, but you just like to think randomly. In fact, how can you do everything in life be successful? Think more, exercise more, and want whatever you lack.

They all told the master that if we are no different, we can be tolerant and fulfilled by any rebellious person."

Lin Daiyu nodded slightly and tilted her head to Xing Xiuyan's shoulder.

At this moment, the outside suddenly became lively, and you could tell that it must be the one who had been here after hearing the sound.

Xing Xiuyan subconsciously wanted to get up and go out to greet her, but Lin Daiyu not only did not move her head away, but instead hugged her hands and wrapped around her waist.

"younger sister?"

Xing Xiuyan lowered her head and called out, but Lin Daiyu turned a deaf ear.

Having no choice but to sit still.

Soon, Jiao walked in with great strides outside. Xing Xiuyan bowed slightly and shouted "Master", but Lin Daiyu didn't even raise her head.

“Haha~”

Jiao Shun laughed and said, "Why do you think my sister is like this? It's like I'm coming to steal the kiss?"

As he said that, he brought the things he was holding in front of Lin Daiyu: "Look at what this is?"

Lin Daiyu didn't want to pay attention at first, but when she saw what was in front of her, she couldn't help but exclaim: "This, is this a leopard?"

"It's the cloud cat."

Jiao Shun sat aside with a big golden knife and put the cage in his hand on the kang table: "I heard that my sister likes cats, but she can't stand the hair falling off on the cat's body, so she asked someone to find it.

Come on Yunmao - This kind of cat doesn't shed much hair, and with the brush I made myself, it's guaranteed to be foolproof!"

As he said that, he opened the wooden cage and the Yuncao, who was originally curled up inside, immediately rushed out with agility and landed steadily on the ground.

"Ah~"

Lin Daiyu jumped up suddenly, with her two thin white arms, looking to grab them but she didn't dare to get close to them, and lowered her voice and complained: "Why are you letting go directly? Be careful not to let it run away!"

"You relax and look at me."

Jiao Shun leaned down carelessly, spread his palms and waved at the cat. The little leopard-like cloud cat dragged its long tail and lowered its head to lick Jiao Shun's palm.

Jiao Shun stroked Yunmao's chin and said proudly: "I heard that this thing is wild, so I deliberately asked someone to tame it for two months. Now it is tamed more well-behaved than an ordinary domestic cat."

After two months of taming, and the time to find a cat, he was almost done with it not long after he moved in.

Lin Daiyu was moved, but she refused to let go of her mouth. She lowered her body and rubbed her cat and said, "It's been delayed so late, Sister Xing hasn't even eaten yet."

"I'm very hungry too. Come on, eat, eat!"

Jiao Shun stood up and waved his hand, then said to Xue Yan Zijuan: "This cat usually only eats raw meat, don't feed it with messy things - I'll explain to the restaurant and ask them to send some fresh and good meat.

Come."

Xing Xiuyan also helped Lin Daiyu up and picked up the cat and looked at it. Seeing that the hair was thick and short, it was difficult to float easily, so she stuffed it into Lin Daiyu's arms and smiled: "Hold it for a while, wait and see.

I don't want to touch you anymore."

He turned his head and made a cup of tea for Jiao Shun, then pinched his shoulder and said, "The master is busy with official duties, but in fact, it's the same for him to let the old Xu take me back."

Jiao Shun covered her tenderness with his back hand and laughed and joked: "There are people who are upsetting for you. If I don't pick you up in person, would it be better if I don't pick you up in person?"

After a pause, he rolled his eyes to Lin Daiyu and said, "The candidate for the Eastern Palace Secretary has been decided. With this real backbone in the future, I can also be free."

Xing Xiuyan usually doesn’t take the initiative to inquire about the court, but since Jiao Shun took the initiative to talk about it, she also asked intriguedly: “I wonder which Shangshu is the one who is determined to be? Is it easy to deal with?”

"It's not the Shangshu, but Wang Zhe's elder."

"Old Ge Lao?"

When he heard this candidate, not only Xing Xiuyan frowned, but even Lin Daiyu, who had always turned a blind eye to the outside world, could not help but ask: "It is the Master Wang Ge'er who founded the New Confucian School? Then, will this Zhanshi Mansion want it in the future.

…”

"Don't worry."

Jiao Shun smiled proudly: "This candidate is what I recommend to the emperor. Although Wang Ge Lao's new Confucian school was a terrible one, he was still the first important official to respond to the new policy. Even if he just bought a horse bone for a thousand gold coins, the emperor should have it.

The reward is."

This move is undoubtedly beyond the expectations of most people, but careful thinking is a wonderful strategy to have the best of both worlds.

First of all, doing this can show the emperor that he is selfless and never ruled out the idea of ​​being the one who dissidents dominate the country. As for whether Wang Ge Lao's new Confucian school is useful, it is his own problem.

Secondly, the six ministers of the Ministry of Works are willing to be at peace with him, Jiao, is the old boss, the Minister of Works. However, since the young secretary of the Ministry of Works comes from the Ministry of Works, the secretary of the Ministry of Works naturally cannot be the Minister of Works.

Instead of introducing other Shangshu to fight against each other, it would be better to let Wang Zhe, the defeated general who nominally supports the New Deal. And with this recommendation, Jiao Shun will be more convenient to take over the New Confucian school in the future.

It’s a pity that the two women didn’t understand the affairs in the court, which made him feel less realistic when he brags about it.

After eating and drinking, Lin Daiyu held the cat and sent them to the entrance of the alley. Only then did the two sisters say goodbye.

Nothing to say along the way.

It was already very late when he got home. Jiao Shunyuan wanted to ask Shi Xiangyun to report, so he went to the flat in the west wing to rest. Xing Xiuyan had just returned and must have a rest.

I didn't want to go back to the back house and heard that Wang Xifeng was coming, so I stayed in Ping'er's house for the time being.

But it turned out that when Wang Xifeng first arrived at Muni Courtyard, she was still sitting firmly on Diaoyutai. She thought that Yingchun was hanging on the fresh bait, and that thief would definitely come uninvited. Who would have thought that there would be no movement after ten days and half a month passed.

.

Although I knew that Jiao Shun was probably stuck with the matter of the Zhan Shi Mansion, I still felt a lot of resentment.

If he is pregnant with his child and he still doesn't take himself seriously, then isn't his child in vain?

The more I think about it, the less worth it, so I just came to me.

Of course, the reason given to the outside world is to discuss opening a store.

Shi Xiangyun held a pillow and said listlessly: "Because I don't know much about opening a store, Sister Feng has to wait to see you. It was not until I saw me yawning from time to time that I went to Sister Ping'er's house.

”

As he said that, he said to Qingwen: "Go and ask. If Sister Feng hasn't fallen asleep yet, please invite her over."

In fact, it is quite inappropriate to sleep in Jiao Shun's concubine's room as Wang Xifeng, but firstly, Shi Xiangyun is pregnant now, so it is inconvenient to sleep with her; secondly, Ping'er and Wang Xifeng have no other relationship, so

No one is serious about this - Jia Lian, who is most qualified to be serious, doesn't have the courage to care about it now.

When Qingwen went, she pulled Xing Xiuyan and asked about what happened in Taohua Lane in recent days. When she heard that Xing Xiuyan brought the draft of "Farewell My Concubine", she immediately became energetic and urged Xing Xiuyan with a stack of sounds.

Take the draft.

"Aren't you sleepy?"

Jiao Shun stepped forward and hugged her and said, "When will the draft be read? Wait until tomorrow..."

"Then I can't sleep!"

Shi Xiangyun urgently warned: "Sister, go and get it, and you won't be late to sleep after I finish watching!"

When Xing Xiuyan saw Jiao Shun nodding, she took out the draft and gave it to Shi Xiangyun to read.

At this time, Qingwen turned back and said, "My second grandma said she was afraid of disturbing her wife's rest. She said that if our master was not in a hurry to go to bed, she would just go to the west wing to talk."

This is even more unethical.

Shi Xiangyun frowned slightly, but thinking that Sister Feng was pregnant now, she turned her attention back to the draft in front of her.

"this……"

Jiao Shun pretended to be hesitant and stood up for a while and said, "Forget it, I've sent her earlier, so I can save her from being entangled endlessly."

As she said that, she also told Xing Xiuyan to take good care of Shi Xiangyun so that she would not sleep all night.

After that, Jiao Shun turned to the West Chamber, and his feelings and scenes cannot be described in detail, and he must be summarized. It was just a silly talk.

…………

After a night of fermentation.

The fact that Mr. Wang was recommended by Jiao Shun and was able to serve as the Secretary of the Zhanshu's House quickly spread throughout the court and the country.

Most scholars have become increasingly unbearable for their evaluation of Wang Ge Lao, but this does not prevent Wang Ge Lao from returning to the prosperous scene in front of Wang Ge Lao's mansion - after all, being a military secretary in the East Palace means that Wang Ge Lao almost

He will inevitably become one of the regents.

As for Jiao Shun...

At most, he was just a regent, and he was still a little short of the minister's business.

In the palace.

Li Zhong, the eunuch who was studying, jogging to the palace gate. Seeing Prince Yao sitting on the threshold with his cheeks on both hands, he was stunned and said, "What's wrong with Your Highness? If you have any problems, you might as well tell me, I will do it for you.

!”

The little guy was unheard of, and he didn't react at all.

Seeing this, Li Zhong said again: "Your Highness, who is the Eastern Palace Secretary whom Your Majesty has appointed? It was Wang Ge Lao, who created the New Confucian School a while ago! What is even more incredible is that the person who recommended him was Jiao Shunjiao.

grown ups!"

"Prince Wang Ge was trying to pick peaches that he learned before, but he was not ruthless at all. Who would have thought that Lord Jiao would take the initiative to recommend him, which shows that Gong Zhongfu's country..."

"Little Plum."

"I'm here!"

Prince Yao interrupted Li Zhong's long speech, slowly raised his head, and asked in a muffled voice: "Is the father's dragon body, is it already..."

"Your Highness is careful!"

Li Zhong's face turned pale in fear and said tremblingly: "The emperor is in full swing in spring and autumn, and he will definitely be able to last for thousands of years!"

Prince Yao curled his lips slightly, stood up and patted his butt and said, "I want to go to Zhongcui Palace to pay my respects to my mother."

In his opinion, the one who could speak out to him in the palace was probably the biological mother Wu Guifei.

Li Zhong naturally could not stop Prince Yao from joining Xiao, so he hurriedly took him to Zhongcui Palace.

When he arrived at Zhongcui's palace, Prince Yao, who had been impatient, jogged into the hall without waiting for the palace maids and eunuchs to communicate.

"Your Highness, Your Highness!"

The female official in charge was shocked and hurriedly chased after him, but when she chased her in front of the inner door, she stopped unconsciously.

Prince Yao pushed the door and broke in without hesitation. He found that his mother was washing her feet in the house. One of her delicate and tender feet was stepping on the basin, and the other was stepping on the person in front of her.

In the heart of

After a closer look, who could have supported Concubine Wu's naked feet with a towering height, but if it weren't Concubine Rong, could it be?

"Empress Rong?"

Prince Yao looked at the scene in front of him in confusion, not understanding why Concubine Rong washed her mother's feet again.

Concubine Rong suddenly turned red and subconsciously wanted to get up, but the pressure on her chest suddenly increased. She hesitated for a moment, and finally half-kneeled on the ground and did not get up. She just lowered her head awkwardly.

Originally, the scene was broken, and Concubine Wu was also panicked, but when she saw that it was her son who came in, she became calm again and simply lifted her other foot from the water and hung it in front of Concubine Rong. She waited for Concubine Rong to be in a hurry.

After wiping it clean with a towel, I stepped on the other side again and again.
