Leisurely Moon Pavilion

, Ran Nan also had it, but now it's all lost, how long can this young man be so proud? " Tang Duhan thought in this way and went to search for Ran Nan's traces. How can singing and dancing be more interesting than people? Ran Nan's red dress can no longer be so dazzling that people can recognize it at a glance. Tang Duhan searched for a long time before seeing it. It turned out that he was also looking down on the railing on the second floor.

"What, envy?" Tang Duhan walked over and deliberately choked Ran Nan twice.

"Envy? Hell, when I was so prosperous, his hair didn't even grow." Ran Nan knocked on the paper fan and turned to Tang Duhan for silver.

"Then when Guangling was booming, how many tufts of hair did you grow?"

"It turns out that you want to fight for Guangling's injustice! Why, after leaving Xianyue Pavilion, you don't change your nature as a young lady, and you start talking about sisters' love?"

"It's not enough for others to be mean, you have to be mean to yourself!" Tang Duhan said angrily.

"A man has entered the Xianyue Pavilion to sell his ass. What is he talking about? You don't demean yourself, you don't accept guests, and you beat him half to death. Now what? Why don't you go to Xunfu to sell? What's the difference? What aloofness!" Ran Nan said quickly and then knocked on the paper fan and entered the room door.

Only Tang Duhan was left to continue walking along the circular railing, sometimes looking at the group of people below, sometimes paying attention to the surrounding doors, it was really boring.

"Why are you alone? Why don't you stay with me?" The speaker was dressed in a black brocade robe with tiger patterns embroidered with gold thread, eye-catching.

Tang Duhan didn't answer the conversation, he was only looking at the visitor.

"You look much better than the dancing people downstairs, they are so ignorant." The man in black took another step forward, reached out and put his arm around Tang Duhan's waist and pulled him towards his arms.

Tang Duhan saw that he had good features, sword eyebrows and star eyes, his face was sharp and simple, and he looked good; he turned to look at himself, the lake green dress must make people think that he was also a young lady in Xianyue Pavilion; Thinking about the absurd scene in yesterday's dream, I can't help but feel that it would be a pleasure to spend a night with this person in front of me. I have never had such a one-night stand in modern times.Tang Duhan led the man in black into the vacant room on the second floor which was reserved for servants and patrons, only the sound of singing and dancing outside the door.

☆ Hanlin

The previous section mentioned that Tang Duhan led the man in black into the room.

A night of spring.

When I woke up the next morning, the person next to my pillow had disappeared and there was only one silver coin left.Tang Duhan looked at the mess and white spots all over the bed for a moment, and then thought of the sex last night.Regardless of cleaning, after putting on his clothes, Tang Duhan opened the door and called a young servant dressed up as a figure on his way back, "Take this silver and clean the inside." Then he hurried back while Xianyue Pavilion was deserted in the morning.

Xiao Song had already prepared breakfast, and when Tang Duhan came back, he only said, "My lord, the water for washing has also been prepared."

"Okay, Xiaosong, please help me boil some bath water and bring it to my room."

"Understood." Xiao Song turned around and walked to the kitchen.

Before he knew it, seven days had passed, and Tang Duhan got up early to go to the Hanlin Academy before dawn according to the regulations.In this dynasty, the Hanlin Academy has no actual official power to edit and edit, and there is no need to go to court early, and it is only necessary to enter and leave the Imperial Academy on time.

Master Zhou, who introduced Tang Duhan for the first time, was almost sixty years old, with a thin body, a mottled beard and hair color, and a kind face. "Mr. Tang is a young man with extraordinary talent. I was very interested in the answer you said on the day of the palace examination."

"The younger generation is still a little talented, so I hope the adults will give you more advice in the future." Tang Duhan thought that this person is kind on the side, but he doesn't know what's going on behind the scenes. some.

"The old man doesn't care too much now, ahem, he only takes on the false name of a major in the Imperial Academy, and Mr. Tang can just find Supervisor Qian if he has something to do in the future." He said, leading Tang Duhan to Supervisor Qian's room.

"This must be the new editor Tang Duhan Tang? As the supervisor of the Imperial Academy, his surname is Qian, and editor Tang will have a chance to meet each other in the future." Supervisor Qian is almost [-] years old, with a look on his face. Grease burst out, his face was full of smiles, and the loose official uniform could not cover his tall belly.

"When we work together in the future, the younger generation will still hope that Supervisor Qian will give us some pointers." Tang Duhan stretched out his hands and bowed, thinking, "This Supervisor Qian's words are high and low, superficial and vulgar, if Cultivator Zhou is a scheming person , such a supervisor is undoubtedly beneficial and will only strengthen his position, if he is really a kind person on the surface, then working with such a supervisor will be oppressed everywhere."

The two led Tang Duhan back and forth to meet several other editors of the Imperial Academy one by one, and also explained all the things Tang Duhan did on weekdays.It was nearly noon when Tang Duhan went back to his room on his own. Tang Duhan's co-editor, surnamed Guo, named Shangren, was just [-] years old. He just sat and copied and proofread classics, and ignored Tang Du after the first meeting. In Tang Duhan's heart, he wished for a letter. In such a quiet place, only the sound of books should be suitable.Tang Duhan sat down and opened the classics in his duty. The musty smell of the simple and unsophisticated books soothed people's hearts. He thought that although Xun Yiyang was pressing hard to enter the palace, he had no other better choice and had to do it. But now that life has been stabilized, Xun Yiyang's confession of helping the sixth prince seize the throne has nothing to do with him after all. Depending on the time, "if there is one, we will help it, and if there is no one, we will avoid it."

☆、Yungui

The wedding invitation for Xunyi Yang and the daughter of Zhongfu, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, to get married was sent to Zhininglu half a month later.

"Zhi Ning Lu" is Tang Duhan's nickname for himself in Dongji's residence, "Xiao Song, can I not go with Mr. Xun's matter?" Tang Duhan asked while eating dinner.

Sitting across the dining table, Xiao Song said, "Since Mr. Xun has sent you an invitation card, you should go if you want to."

"What's the matter, what's the reason? I don't have any friendship with Xun Yiyang." Tang Duhan suppressed his inner thoughts, put down his finished job and said to Xiaosong, "I don't know much about gift giving, please help me prepare it." , don’t feel bad for silver.”

"Xiao Song understands."

It has been half a month since I have been serving in the Hanlin Academy in a trance, and I don’t feel irritable when I look at the scrolls of ancient books every morning and evening, and I live a very leisurely life. After dinner, Tang Duhan lay down under the plane tree in the courtyard Looking at the stars in the cool room, I thought, Xun Yiyang's wedding ceremony might be a grand banquet, and if he went there, he would only cause trouble in vain.

"Let go, let go! The ghost beats you a human trafficker!" There were bursts of shouting and cursing from outside the house, or some crying.

Tang Duhan heard that he had already opened the door and leaned out to see what was going on. He saw a thick man with his hands tied behind his back and a girl in rags dragging her out of the alley.

"How much silver do you want to let her go?" Tang Duhan shouted.

The hulking-backed man asked and slowed down, "Her mother sold it to me for 50 taels of silver, and if you want it, you will get 60 taels of silver."

"Bah!" The girl twisted and yelled, "What 50 taels, you dare to talk nonsense for an unscrupulous person like you. It's only 20 taels of silver. You can't fool everyone?"

"Xiao Song, bring 60 taels of silver." Tang Duhan yelled into the courtyard, then turned around and said to the big man, "60 taels, she belongs to me."

After all, Xiao Song hastily ran out of the house and handed a bag of silver to the big man, while dragging the girl behind him.

When the big man came out of the alley, Tang Duhan said to the girl in a low voice, "Go home, I don't have any shortage of manpower."

"Going home will only be sold for the second time. Even if there is no shortage of money now, it will be sold again in the future. Even if there is no shortage of manpower, young master, it is good for several people to share Brother Xiaosong."

Tang Duhan looked at the girl. Although she was dressed in rags, her eyes were clear and her mind was sharp.

"I hate people talking too much and making noise. If you really want to find a job, I'll take you to the Xun Mansion tomorrow. Their family has a big business, so many people can't make a living."

"Young master is kind. Brother Xiaosong's shoes are all stitched. It must be very hard at ordinary times. Even men can't sew and mend things. Young master left me here to help. It is also because young master is considerate of elder brother Xiaosong."

Tang Duhan lowered his head and glanced at Xiaosong's feet, and sure enough, the stitches of the thread had split a lot, "What's your name?"

"Ailian, even if my parents don't want me, I won't have a surname." Ailian's eyes are full of determination, without any sign of sadness.When Tang Duhan saw it, he couldn't help sighing in his heart. No matter in ancient or modern times, children from poor families suffered the most. "How old is it?"

"Just twelve this year."

"Can I change my name? I don't like calling her 'Ailian' and 'Ailian' every day."

The girl understood the meaning of Tang Du's letter and hurriedly thanked her.

"Xiaosong, take Guiyun to find a room and get ready to sleep first, and prepare carefully tomorrow. By the way, I have time to take her out to buy some plain clothes tomorrow. Guiyun, you can help me pick out a few new pairs of shoes for her." How is brother Xiaosong?"

"Gui Yun knows." The girl said with a smile.

The next day, Tang Duhan went to the Hanlin Academy as usual, and ran into Xun Yiyang before he entered the palace gate, and was about to ignore him when he heard Xun Yiyang say, "How is Mr. Tang these days?"

"It's all good, unlike Mr. Xun, who is in high spirits on happy occasions."

"We are ordinary people who are happy with things and sad with ourselves. We can't compare with Mr. Tang. Mr. Tang is happy and happy, but don't forget the serious things."

Tang Duhan's expression darkened, and he said in a low voice, "I don't have a chance these days."

"Young Master Tang, don't want to be a mediocre bell-ringing monk. The opportunity will come in a blink of an eye."

After finishing speaking, Xun Yi Yang quietly stepped into the palace gate first, leaving Tangdu letters here, always looking at the blue sky, and always forgetting the palace walls and walking into the Imperial Academy.

Guo Shangren was already copying and compiling Tang Duhan, and soon after Tang Duhan was seated, he saw Supervisor Qian strolling over, "Master Tang has already read the poems and scriptures compiled a few days ago. It is really wonderful. There are many people who can speak I am sorry, so I ordered someone here to take out some volumes of scriptures and poems from the storeroom, and I will trouble Mr. Tang to think about it a lot." Supervisor Qian asked the eunuch who followed him to bring up a large box while speaking in an official tone and performing official rituals. The ancient books were transported to Tangdu Hanwu.

Tang Duhan glanced at Guo Shangren from the corner of his eye, and saw that he was still holding the pen, and his eyelids had not been lifted, "Your Majesty Qian, you are polite, this is the job of a lower official." Tang Duhan bowed coldly, secretly Thinking, "Human nature has not changed from ancient to modern times. The one in the Imperial Academy is the same as the one when I first entered the office."

When Supervisor Qian and his party went out, Tang Duhan sat down and read the scriptures, suppressing his anger, and did not say hello to his roommate Guo Shangren until the end of the day.

When Tang Duhan returned to Ninglu from the Imperial Academy, Guiyun had already changed into cotton and light grass-colored casual clothes, and Xiaosong had also changed into new shoes.

"Brother Xiaosong refused to buy the good ones at first, saying it was a waste. I said that the young master is a man who eats from the official family, and this little money is nothing. He only agreed after hesitation!" Seeing Tang Duhan enter the room, Guiyun called He started talking with a smile.

"How do you know where I am working?" Tang Duhan asked in a deep voice.

Seeing the situation, Guiyun immediately softened his tone and whispered, "Brother Xiaosong said it."

In the evening, Xiao Song came to Tang Duhan's room to fetch hot water. Tang Duhan looked down at the book and said, "Guiyun is a half-way person after all. Don't let her know too much. She is only supported by doing chores on weekdays." .”

Xiaosong's heart skipped a beat, thinking that Tang Du's letter was referring to a deer as a horse, and on the surface he said Guiyun, but in fact he said that Xiaosong was a follower of the Xunfu halfway. In Zhining Lu, I absolutely only think about Young Master, if Young Master doesn’t believe me, just send some money as soon as possible.”

Holding "Fang Weng's Ci Collection" in his hand, Tang Duhan looked up at Xiaosong and said, "It's not that I don't believe it, it's just that what I say later should be half-truth and half-false."

Xiao Song complied with the words and quietly withdrew.

☆, dinner

In another half a month, it will be the auspicious day recorded in the wedding invitation.

"Young master, brother Xiaosong caught a cold yesterday, he asked me to go with you tomorrow."

"En." Tang Duhan buried his hands in the test paper and never raised his head, "Guiyun, find a doctor to take a look."

"I've already looked for it. The doctor said that I can just lie down for a few days."

The next day was a good day, and Tang Duhan entered the Xun Mansion with Gui Yun behind him.

Looking around, the Xun Mansion was full of joy.Clusters of sedan chairs of various sizes, heights and colors were pressed in front of the door, making it impossible to get through. Everyone in the surrounding area was festooned with lanterns and festoons, making it very lively.In Xiajing, the weather in June is sunny and peaceful, only God is also beautiful.

After queuing up to accept the invitations and handing over the gifts, they entered the gate of the Xun Mansion.Xun Yiyang, dressed in red, kept smiling and bowing.

"Young Master, don't you want to go to pay your respects?" Gui Yun asked beside him.

"There are too many people, wait a minute." Tang Duhan answered while looking for a chair in the corner of the hall to sit idle.

The originally suave Xun Yi Yang Yuan, dressed in red and auspicious clothes, was even more charming and colorful. Surrounded by a group of people, he was really eye-catching. Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of Tang Duhan entering the house, and walked forward: "Mr. Tang doesn't like excitement. I forced you to come here today, isn’t it. Is this a new maid in the Tang family? I’ve never seen her before.”

"A few days ago, they were newly recruited. Mr. Xun hasn't been in the shelter for a long time, so I haven't seen them." Tang Duhan didn't get up, but sat answering Xun Yiyang's words.

"Haha, Mr. Tang is smart and handsome, and all his subordinates are also clever and clever."

"Master Xun is joking, my little girl is already blushing. Guiyun, you go back first, and find a doctor on the way for Xiaosong to take a good look at."

"Then Guiyun is leaving first." After saying that, Xiaobu hurried out.

"This girl looks cute, why is she blushing with shame?"

Tang Duhan just got up, raised his eyes and said: "Master Xun is very romantic, he just got married today, and he still wants to provoke my little maid."

"Mr. Tang is surprised," Xun Yiyang lowered his voice and whispered into Tang Duhan's ear, "Today the third and sixth princes will come here, so you should be prepared for me."

Hearing the words, Tang Duhan gave Xun Yiyang a look and said: "What are you prepared for? Prepare to climb into someone's bed? At the beginning, I only agreed to build a bridge and matchmaking inside in the future, but I don't remember any contact outside. In the past few days It's all just petty things that sour literati gossip about, so there's nothing to do for Mr. Xun. If Mr. Xun gets impatient with waiting, he should find someone else early."

Xun Yiyang was not annoyed when he heard this, and just said: "Recognize the princes well, there will be opportunities for you to serve in the future."

"Are there any vacant rooms? It's too noisy here."

"The west wing room you used to live in has been empty."

"Understood, I'll just walk over by myself. Master Xun still treats the guests well." Tang Duhan walked away after saying that, thinking that Xun Yiyang was really a contemptible person, and he slept in the west wing room until the banquet ended most.

Bypassing the corridor, it looks like the old West Wing again.Tang Duhan looked at the desk in the room that he had copied and copied. It has been more than half a year since he came to this strange era. From Xianyue Pavilion to Hanlin Academy, he is really out of oil pan and into a wok now. A heartbroken worry.Seeing that the inkstone was dry, Tang Duhan began to study the ink slowly. Seeing that there was still blank rice paper, thinking about the unsatisfactory things in the past few days, he took up a pen and wrote: "Tears add nine songs, the Yellow River overflows, Hate to overwhelm the three peaks and Huayue low. When you come at night, you will lean against the west building and see some ancient sunset roads, decaying willows and long dikes." Hearing the noise outside the house, it seems that a new wave of people came to congratulate, and it was Zhu Ziqing who was "lively" It’s theirs, I don’t have anything.” The mentality floated up, and he picked up a pen and wrote another line on the paper: “When I got married there, I was prepared to be lonely.” Suddenly feeling tired last night, I fell on the desk to take a nap.

The newcomers on the other side came from the palace.

"Brother Xun is overjoyed, I will wait for a few people to come together, I don't want to delay some time." Before entering the door, the speaker congratulated, bowed and led the people behind him in together.

"The third prince is joking, and it is a great honor for the grassroots to show his face." Xun Yiyang offered it upside down, "Why don't you see the sixth prince come here together?"

"The sixth prince invited Master Xun's brother-in-law to go, and the third prince led me and other lowly people to come here first." The man bowed and bowed deeply, wearing a black robe, "The grass people are very humble, and they are so humble. Raise the gate wall."

"Mr. Fang is the champion of the new Jin Dynasty. He came here to make the humble house flourish." Xun Yiyang poured wine and offered it.

Fang Linyong saluted again and took the wine glass: "Lord Xun really thinks highly of the lowly people."

"Brother Xun's newlyweds are happy, I'm late, I should be punished." A loud shout was heard outside the door, a man in Tibetan embroidered casual clothes came, and behind him was a man in a white robe.

"The sixth prince picked up my lonely brother-in-law on behalf of me. I am very grateful. I will not be punished. Only the sixth prince can invite my brother-in-law, haha."

"Brother Xun teases Jing Ting like this every day. I don't know when he will help me be a matchmaker with Jing Ting. I will also get closer to Brother Xun, right? Haha."

Zhong Jingting said coldly: "Nonsense again."

Then a few people were drinking and chatting, the servants who served the wine ran until their legs were broken for several days, it was very lively.

"Brother Xun, my younger brother can't drink enough, but I'm a little tired. I remember when I was a child, whenever I sneaked out of the palace to play, I always lived in the west wing of your house. Is it still vacant now? I'm going to sober up."

"It's all prepared for you, this west wing room is only reserved for your use."

"Thank you very much."

"Shall I go with you?" Zhong Jingting asked.

The sixth prince waved his hands and smiled: "No, we will go together tomorrow when we get married."

"nonsense."

"Come, come, let's continue drinking." The third prince raised his glass.

Fang Linyong stood up hastily and said with a smile, "The lowly grassroots can't bear it enough."

The sixth prince pushed open the door of the west chamber, and saw a man in a blue robe resting sideways on the desk.Looking closer, the pen and ink on the table are not yet dry, and the handwriting is quite like a queen's style. The man's face is like a bright moon, and his eyebrows and eyes are also somewhat like a queen's, but the brows of Qiqi are still the same in sleep deep lock?The eyelids are closed tightly, the lips are slightly opened, which makes people feel sad, and almost wants to steal the fragrance.The few words on the paper added to the sadness of the sweetheart, and he continued with a pen: "Don't think of others, you can see yourself in front of you." Zhang, the star eyes reopened.

"My lord?" How could there be gusts of spring breeze in my ears this summer.

Shocked violently, the sixth prince said: "I'm Yi Chen, may I ask you the name of your son?"

Tang Duhan saw this man's perverse expression, "Tang Duhan, the young master seems to be drunk, help the young master to rest."

"Okay, okay, Duhan." Yi Chen responded, while thinking to himself, "Drunkness is not due to wine, but to people."

When Tang Duhan helped him to go to the bed pavilion in the west wing, the person on him hugged him and rolled him onto the bed with his eyes closed, chanting "Duhan, Duhan".Tang Duhan sneered inwardly: "Drunk fool." After sitting upright and taking a closer look, this person is not bad looking, his face is very scholarly and delicate, but he is a "drunk fool" at heart.Back at the desk, Tang Duhan looked at the newly added pen and ink on the rice paper, looked up at the person on the bed, and smiled unconsciously.

Not long after, there was a light knock on the door outside the house, Tang Duhan half opened the door, and saw a man in a white robe standing in front of the door with a stern expression.

"Who are you?" the man asked.

Tang Duhan thought that this day he might have to tell others his name repeatedly, so he might as well write his name on his forehead with a pen, "Tang Duhan, I don't know what's the matter, my lord?"

"Is the sixth prince in the house?" The man had a cold face and a cold tone.

Tang Duhan's pupils shrank instantly, thinking to himself, "So that person is the Sixth Prince, the person he entered the palace for." Fu pretended not to change his expression again, "I'm lying on my back, I'm going up by myself." After saying that, he walked out , and ignored the man.

Zhong Jingting thought that he was not expecting to be sneered at by this low-end and low-end person for no reason, and suppressed his anger in his heart, he only went into the room and went to the bed, seeing that the person was still sleeping, he sat quietly and looked lost.

Tang Duhan left the room intending to tell Xunyi Yang Zhihui to leave the meeting early, but before entering the room, he heard bursts of wine and laughter, and subconsciously frowned.

"Mr. Tang is here. This is the third prince in the palace, Mr. Langfang, the new champion." Xun Yiyang introduced them one by one.

"Third prince." After a closer look, the person was suddenly shocked. This person was actually the man in black in Xianyue Pavilion back then!Tang Duhan endured the uneasiness in his heart, and continued to meet each other and said, "Mr. Fang."

"This is Mr. Tang, who was outstanding in literary talent in the imperial examination that day. I am very humble. Seeing that Mr. Tang is like a god-man, I don't know how to deal with myself." Fang Linyong said with a smile, raising his wine glass.

Tang Duhan politely drank a cup: "Mr. Fang had a palace test that day, and I heard the emperor praised him all the time. You are too humble."

"It's really unexpected that a humble person can win the emperor's praise."

Sitting there for a while, Tang Duhan pulled Xun Yiyang out by taking advantage of his relief, "Everyone has recognized everything, can I go?"

"What is Mr. Tang in such a hurry to do, it doesn't matter if you stay and have a few more drinks." Xun Yiyang laughed.

"Only build bridges and matchmaking in the palace, I will do my duty, and I will ignore the rest."

Xun Yiyang raised his eyebrows and glanced at him: "Then you'd better remember your duty and don't forget it all the time."

Tang Duhan didn't answer, and left directly to the gate of Xunfu.

☆、tiger wolf

"How come these few days have passed, Master Tang's box of scriptures and classics is half unfinished?" Supervisor Qian closed the box with a "bang", and turned to glare at the people behind him.

Tang Duhan understood that Supervisor Qian was just looking for faults and provoking troubles to put down his prestige, so he bowed his head and put on a respectful look: "I'm not an official, I will definitely work harder in the future."

"Master Tang is just a fledgling, so he should work a lot while he is young." Supervisor Qian winked at the eunuch beside him, "I sent another box to Master Tang, and hope that Master Tang will study harder in the next few days."

"Thank you, Mr. Qian, for your care."

After sending Supervisor Qian out, Tang Duhan went back to the house and looked at another box of scriptures, almost vomiting.Guo Shangren, who is in the same room, still ignores others.

"Master Guo, can I ask you a question or two?" Tang Duhan sent it with a teacup.

"Don't dare, Master Tang." Guo Shangren sat down and took the teacup.

Tang Duhan only thought that since he had something to ask for now, he had to look at other people's faces. Even if he didn't like Guo Shangren's attitude of bowing down, he pretended to be humble and said, "I don't know why Supervisor Qian is so aggressive?"

"This, the officer is not clear."

"Master Guo has been working in the Imperial Academy for a long time. My younger brother doesn't know about the power-affiliated gangs when he first came here. May I ask Mr. Guo to give you some pointers?"

"Your Majesty Tang is just joking. I have only been studying here in this room, and I don't understand any powerful gangs."

Tang Duhan raised the corner of his mouth and smiled, "Thank you, Mr. Guo."

At the beginning of the moonlight, when returning to Ninglu, Guiyun was cooking, Xiaosong had not recovered from his illness, and was lying in the side room to rest.

"Why is it that the doctor doesn't see it well after looking at it? There are not many things here, so you can just rest and leave everything to Gui Yun."

Xiaosong forced himself up on the sick bed, and said with a face of shame, "Xiaosong has caused trouble to the young master."

"You and I came out of the Xun Mansion together. I don't know anything. In the past, you took care of me and worked hard for you for more than half a year. Now I don't say whether it's troublesome or not."

Xiaosong obediently looked at Tang Duhan, then lowered his head and said, "That day in the Xun Mansion, the young master singled me out to order me. I came here for half a year to eat and live here, just like the young master. Xiao Song is wholeheartedly grateful to the young master, and will never betray the master for glory. People. There has been a rift between the young master and Mr. Xun for a long time, and it is normal for the young master to be suspicious, but Xiaosong, I have never lied to the young master to inform the young master." Xiaosong coughed a few times, and fell on the bed propped up.

Tang Duhan recalled that day when he privately reprimanded Guiyun, and only then did he understand Xiaosong's heart disease recently, and hurriedly helped Xiaosong to lie down: "There are only three people in the room. I am suspicious, and you are also suspicious. In the future I didn’t say such things either. I was really annoyed that day, and I didn’t hold back what I said, so I apologized to you. Gui Yun is still young, and I can rest assured about internal and external matters because of you.”

Xiao Song didn't speak for a while, only heard the summer wind outside the house.

Tang Duhan finished his dinner and walked to Xunfu with a lamp.Accompanied by the moonlight stone road along the way, there are occasional wind chants.The tiny bugs flew towards the paper lantern together, and some even burrowed into the flames. Tang Duhan looked at the bugs, thinking that he felt helpless, and his steps were heavy.

"Mr. Tang is here at this hour, is there something urgent?" Xun Yiyang did not fall asleep, and met the visitor in the living room while drinking tea.

"Supervisor Qian of the Hanlin Academy has repeatedly provoked troubles. Does Mr. Xun know the reason? If you can give me some pointers and inform you about the situation of the Imperial Academy, I will be very grateful."

Xun Yiyang looked at Tang Duhan playfully, smiled secretly, and said calmly: "The Imperial Academy is a typical Chiqian Wang Baduo, and the most important are Zhou Zhou and Qian Supervisor. Zhou Xiu is old and cunning. He is so greedy for money that his surname should be Qian, but he is kind to others. Supervisor Qian acts vigorously and vigorously, with an iron fist. These two people in the Imperial Academy are harmonious on the surface, but secretly they are separate factions and fight each other. Supervisor Qian provokes you for no reason , I just want you to experience his majesty and prestige so that you can submit to him. When you first entered the Imperial Academy, Brother Zhou took care of you in every possible way, isn't it also a draw? Your experience is also expected."

Tang Duhan heard the "expected" he intentionally emphasized, and understood that Xun Yiyang knew his predicament long ago, and asked him to come to ask him to make himself understand. Xun Yiyang is in control, and the sophistication and meanness make people more and more disgusting.

"Master Xun has such a meticulous mind, the treacherous and deceitful things like the Imperial Academy are less than one ten-thousandth of your lord."

"Master Tang is joking, we are allies, as long as Mr. Tang handles affairs in the palace properly, my treachery will be yours."

After Tang Duhan returned to the house, he thought about what Xun Yiyang said, that the Imperial Academy was nothing more than a bunch of civil servants and sour guests, and even if they formed cliques and sumo wrestled with vicious dogs, the most hateful people like Guo Shangren who kept silent could be It is expected that the whole country is just fighting for power, calculating and strife, and then I feel that the bad roots of human nature have not changed since ancient times. There is no difference between a feudal society, a capitalist society, and a socialist society!This country has not been named in the history I have learned, and China in the 21st century will no longer have such a monarchy. The so-called power is a dream after all.

Just as he was thinking, there was a knock on the door. Guiyun usually went to bed early when he was young, and Xiaosong was ill. Tang Duhan walked into the door in doubt, who came so late?

I heard a person outside the house say: "I came to visit unexpectedly late at night, and it was a lowly grassroots who bothered me, but I have something important to tell, can you come in and talk about it?"

When Tang Duhan heard that it was Fang Linyong, he opened the door to welcome him.

Fang Linyong took a sip of tea, looked around the room and said, "Master Tang, the Third Prince sent grassroots people to tell you that Supervisor Qian in the Hanlin Academy made things difficult for you, in order to intimidate you and make you form a faction. Your son took this letter and handed it over to you." Then Qian Mou, everything can be resolved." After saying that, he took out a letter from his cuff and handed it.

"Master Fang, please come back, I don't need this letter for the time being." Tang Duhan's eyes turned cold, knowing that this was the third prince's attempt to relieve himself of the siege of the Imperial Academy, but in fact he was pulling himself into the third prince's boat again, thinking in his heart Now that I have six princes and Xun Yiyang, I have headaches and nausea in every possible way, and I really can't bear to be this double agent, and I can't handle the matter of being both right and wrong.

"Master Tang, the lowly grassroots will take their leave first. If there is a need in the future, the Western Suburb Shelter will be waiting for you at any time." Fang Linyong walked out with a bow, and closed the door respectfully at the end. Tang Du's letter was never sent.

The next day, Guiyun came into the house to bring hot water, and accidentally knocked over the basin, which spilled all the water on the bookshelf. Tang Duhan sorted out the wet books, calligraphy and paintings, and came up with a plan.

☆, into the curtain

Although the plan is successful, it may not be easy to implement. First of all, it is necessary to find the sixth prince. "I don't know how the 'drunk fool' is now." Tang Duhan couldn't help laughing when he thought about his appearance that day. It's just that the sixth prince's stupid posture doesn't look like a person with a deep city. It's hard to imagine him. He will also design to seize the throne, "I think this plan is also from the hands of Xun Yiyang, and I will go to Xun's mansion tonight." Although I think of Xun Yiyang's face and feel hateful, but in life, there are a lot of begging.

"Morning Mr. Tang, why do you look more and more haggard today?" Xun Yiyang whispered next to his ear, "Mr. Tang has not settled the affairs of the Imperial Academy?"

Tang Duhan raised his eyes and glanced at Xun Yiyang who met by the city wall when he entered the palace. He didn't deliberately distance himself from him as usual, but whispered, "How can I meet the sixth prince? I have my own business."

Without hesitation, Xun Yiyang blurted out: "Tonight, take shelter in the West Wing Room."

"Where are you going so late, young master? It's dark outside, and I will go with young master to light the lantern for young master?"

"Your body has finally improved in the past few days. If the wind blows again at night, I'm afraid it will be bad again in the morning. I also have hands and feet, so don't worry."

Xiaosong, who was full of worries, watched Tang Duhan suddenly put on his clothes, and became more and more uneasy: "Young master, I have been lying down for a long time, it's nothing serious, Guiyun is young and a girl, it's inconvenient to accompany you. I If you don't follow me, if something happens along the way, young master, how can you rest assured?"

Tang Duhan looked sideways, and his tone relaxed: "Then prepare the lanterns and go to Xunfu."

"Young Master, this black cloak is taking advantage of the whiteness of the person to look better."

"You still make fun of me now, you are sixteen this year, do you have someone in mind?" Tang Duhan was happy when he heard Xiaosong's praise, but he was annoyed by just pretending, but Xiaosong didn't know it.

"Not yet."

"I never asked about your family situation, nor did I see you go home, why?"

"I was sold to the Xun Mansion when I was a child, and I have no home anymore." The two walked quietly on the Lili stone road.

Tang Duhan looked at Xiaosong holding the lantern: "It rained yesterday, and the wind has picked up tonight, and the lights are going up and down. You can wear my cloak, and don't shirk it just after you recover. I live in Zhining Cottage. All of them are homeless people, from now on this is the only place to be the home." He raised his hand to untie the cloak and put it on Xiaosong, seeing his thin shoulders, he couldn't help but tie it tighter.

"Young Master," Xiao Song paused, then continued with a smile, "Young Master is the father-in-law, Xiao Song is the housekeeper, and Gui Yun is the child. You should find a mother-in-law as soon as possible."

Tang Duhan was also teased, so he just pursed his lips and smiled, "Maybe we can find someone tonight." After that, they both laughed.

Then when they arrived at Xunfu, Tang Duhan let Xiaosong go back first, and then walked to the west chamber.

"Sixth Prince." When he opened the door, he saw a man in a dark brown robe standing in front of the desk.

The man turned around, holding in his hand the couplet's poem from that day, smiling idiotically, and when he saw Tang Duhan, he hurried forward to cover his hands, and only asked, "The wind is so strong tonight, carefully freeze gone."

"Although the weather in June is windy, it won't be freezing after all. The sixth prince doesn't have to worry." Tang Duhan retracted his hand and closed the door.

"It doesn't matter if you are in front of people, or you can call me Yi Chen when you are behind. Although you and I have only met each other twice, this kind of intimacy is unavoidably abrupt, but I am sincere, and it is obvious."

When Tang Duhan saw the sincere appearance of the person in front of him and his foolish and silly demeanor, he couldn't help being moved, but suddenly thought of the joint design between him and Xun Yiyang, so he calmed down and said, "Sixth prince."

The listener didn't force it, and changed the subject: "What is Du Han asking Brother Xun to invite me for?"

"In the Hanlin Academy, I worship the high and step down, and form cliques. Originally, I only planned to be a wild crane, but I suffered misfortune several times for no reason. Although I can borrow the help of others, but," Tang Duhan stopped talking, and said a few times in silence. Then he said, "I don't know if the emperor has written any poems and songs on weekdays?"

"Father has always remembered the early death of the late empress, so there are many mourning works." The sixth prince just answered without asking.

"That day Xun Yiyang redeemed me from the Xianyue Pavilion to play chess for the Sixth Prince. What he only liked was my handwriting that resembled the former empress. Now if I copy the emperor's poems mourning the ex-empress."

"Wonderful. It's just that the emperor is not a fool, so such a charming gesture may not be beneficial."

"If the sixth prince is willing to offer it on his behalf, then it's just the children comforting his father's regrets. How can it be considered flattering?"

The sixth prince lowered his head and smiled, "It's okay."

"Then please trouble the sixth prince. If we don't have time to see each other again, please leave it to Mr. Xun."

"Where do you live? I'll take you back, and I'll have a chance to meet you in the future."

"Thank you."

The person holding the lantern was replaced by the sixth prince, and the two of them walked side by side on the cobblestone road when they came here. The high and low green brick and tile houses were hidden in the moonlight.

"Just now
