Sheng Shian

Shen Shi went to the Marquis Mansion alone, A Liang had been guarding the door early on, and when he saw him, he was surprised and said: "Why is Lord Shen here?"

Shen Shi showed a helpless look.

Ah Liang knew it in his heart, "don't worry, my lord, I understand."

Shen: "?"

"Your Excellency must be thinking about Lord Hou, and you are too embarrassed to say it."

The corner of Shen Shi's mouth twitched, you are such a clever little ghost.

"Hou Ye ordered me to come to the Hou Mansion today, do you know why?"

Ah Liang's eyebrows were twisted into small twists, "I never heard of it... Oh yes! I know! My lord, follow me to the study!"

Shen Shi followed and asked, "Did you go to see Song Qianjin?"

Ah Liang still had lingering fears, "I went to take a peek in the middle of the night before last month, and saw Song Qianjin secretly wiping tears under a tree. At first, I was heartbroken and wanted to comfort her, but in a blink of an eye, I saw her trampling a palm-sized praying mantis to death... "

Shen Shi laughed out loud, seeing Song Zhili a few times before, he still looked like a lady, but he didn't expect that his insides hadn't changed at all, and he was still savage and cute.

Shen Shi joked: "What are you going to do in the middle of the night, you're not afraid of spoiling the girl's reputation."

A Liang smirked twice, "I'm afraid she will braid my hair as soon as she sees me."

Shen Shi looked at him seriously, with slender eyebrows and delicate eyes, slightly raised cherry lips, his small face can be covered with one hand, and his personality is gentle and considerate, "Well...you look like a girl, if you are white Some, it is indeed an alluring posture..."

A Liang: "?"

Shen looked more and more vigorously, as if he had discovered some new ancient scroll, he rested his chin with two fingers, "According to me, next time you go to see Song Qianjin, let your hair down."

A Liang's eyes widened, so big that the eyeballs almost fell out, "Have I ever harmed an adult?"

Shen Yi covered his lips with his hands and smiled, but then started another topic, "I have read the notes you wrote on behalf of Lord Hou in the past. A bachelor who talks about Taoism can be regarded as something good. Now that you are nearly [-] years old, are you still unwilling to take the imperial examination?"

Since the death of the Taifu, Ah Liang never heard anyone mention the imperial examination again. He said: "Ah Liang was born as a slave of the Taifu's family, and then served the Lord Marquis. Knowing that the realm is not enough, compared to the family and the people, Ah Liang only has one-third of an acre of land in his heart, he is not worthy of being an official, and he does not want to be bound."

Those who study Confucianism and Mencius all regard "entering an official" as a bright light, and Shen Shi is no exception.

In the past, when he heard these remarks, he often sighed that Ah Liang had no ambitions, and he had beautiful jade in his bosom, but he hid it all.

Now, after experiencing a life and death experience, it is much wider, and I have found another realm, "The eagle hits the sky, the fish flies in the shallow bottom, each has its own freedom and happiness, and it is also a joy."

Ah Liang laughed out loud, "Your Excellency and Master Hou really have a supernatural mind, even the words they speak are normal..."

Shen was stunned for a moment.

A Liang opened the door of the study room, and there was a stack of books on the desk, "Your Majesty, I don't know what to write about the books and works that have been spent on sleeping and eating for the past two months. The draft that was completed yesterday has not been transcribed, so maybe I called your lord to come here." Transcribe it again..."

Shen was puzzled, "Since it's Master Hou's work, why did you ask me to copy it?"

A Liang lowered his eyes, his tone became dull, and he sighed, "Only adults can write those words..."

Ah Liang didn't say much, he stood on one side and put some water on the inkstone, rolled up his sleeves with one hand, and rubbed the ink with the other.

As the fragrance gradually rose, Shen Shi asked, "Hui Mo?"

A Liang responded casually, "Yes, all the ink in the Hou Mansion is Hui ink."

"...Why?" Shen felt a sharp pain in his heart, and then covered up: "Xiu Ningmo is also good."

He remembered that Lord Hou also liked Xiu Ningmo when he was young.

A Liang took a small regular pen and licked the ink, and handed it to Shen Shi, "The food, clothing, housing and transportation in the Hou's mansion are all made according to the preferences of the old man..."

"Who is the old man?" Shen Shi asked knowingly.

Ah Liang didn't say much anymore, such secrets are not something he can talk about.

Shen Shi was sitting in front of the gilt-carved ruyi four images, only feeling the always quiet fragrance of Hui ink, which made people irritated. He forced his mind to fetch the manuscript of Lord Hou, and lost his mind when he saw it.

This is a national policy that he burned out years ago.

He hastily flipped through two more pages, which were all derived from the idea of ​​"Determining the National Policy" and aimed at the advantages and disadvantages of the new policy.

Although the New Deal is at the end of the day, the embryos of the reform results have emerged, and many things that should not be done by themselves have now become the best opportunities.

The more Shen read, the more fascinated he was. He kept seeing the sun setting and the sky getting darker, so he closed the book.Light corvee and light taxation, recuperating and rejuvenating; transforming the people with virtue, revitalizing culture and education; as big as law and diplomacy, as small as setting up customs in Haikou, all walks of life are comprehensive.

Shen Shi couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "In the past, there were crouching dragons and phoenix chicks, but now there is such a strategy and gold theory. If it weren't for the incidents in Fu Town, the Lord Hou would have indeed opened the curtain of the salty and prosperous age..."

Shen deleted the complicated and simplified, and added two or three notes to the obscure parts. After the first volume was transcribed, the sky was already dark.

He hastily spread out his strategies to hang out, borrowed a horse and quickly left the mansion to look for Li Yunfu.

Shen guessed that he should pay homage at Song Feng'an's mansion, so he hurriedly knocked on the door, but saw that it was Song Zhili who opened the door, "Didn't Mr. Shen usually let Sheng Yi come? Why did you come to the door in person today, but what happened?" ?”

Shen Shi felt ashamed and dared not step into the Song Mansion before his great cause was accomplished. He lowered his eyes and asked, "Is Brother Yun Fu here?"

Song Zhili said strangely: "Yun Fu finished worshiping in the afternoon and said he was going to Shen's residence to look for his lord, didn't he meet him?"

Shen thanked him and drove away again.

Song Zhili did not close the door, but stood at the door for a long time, and then suddenly called out to the shadow, "Ah Liang, I haven't seen you for many years, how did you acquire the habit of hiding your head and showing your tail?"

A Liang came out trembling, bowed and said: "I have seen Song Qianjin, the villain came to find Master Shen..."

Song Zhili took a step forward.

Ah Liang swallowed his saliva, looking around where he was going to run.

"Master Shen has left."

A Liang raised the ivory wat in his hand with a dry smile, "Your Excellency forgot the wat, and I have to go to court tomorrow, I... I will send it to you quickly..."

Song Zhili took another step closer with great interest, grabbed Ivory Wat's head with one hand, pressed it down, and asked in a clear voice, "Why did Yue Yue come to see me at midnight?"

Ah Liang blushed suddenly, this... how did this get discovered...

Song Zhili stared at him for a long time, then took out a scroll of painting from his sleeve, "I learned painting together with you, how could I not see your brushwork? You have made great progress..."

"Ha...really? Thanks to the daughter's blue eyes, the villain is even lucky..." Ah Liang was in a mess at the moment, shy and afraid, and said nonsense: "The daughter... the daughter is making rapid progress! Thousands of miles every day!"

Song Zhili suddenly half-bent and laughed, "Have you seen my paintings?"

"I... I haven't seen it..."

"Aren't you afraid of offending people when you talk like this?" Seeing that he wanted to get into the cracks in the ground, Song Zhili stepped back, gave him a little room to breathe, and then stuffed the painting into his hand, "Study hard , How to draw "Riding a Crane to Yangzhou Picture"! A crane teaches you to draw a canary, if you see it, you will smash your hand!"

Ah Liang was very embarrassed, and hurriedly pulled out the painting and stuffed it into his cuff, "What Song Qianjin said is true, how dare a villain fight with an ax in front of a gentleman in the bamboo forest, it is really ridiculous!"

"I have received your wish." Song Zhili said in a low voice.

A Liang was taken aback, his heart skipped a beat.

Song Zhili raised his face with a smile on his face, "Thank you, Sister Ah Liang."

That night was my younger brother's birthday. In previous years, my father would take them to the Jinghe River to light the lamps and pray for wisdom at the Confucius Temple. Because of a marriage contract, she was bound here and could not move.

As soon as she wiped away her tears, she saw a scroll of paintings flying from nowhere in the bamboo forest.

With a waist of [-], he rode down to Yangzhou on a crane.

It's a good idea to give it away if it is painted like this.

It's just that her heart seemed to be more open-minded because of this, and she remembered the woman who was raped by her in the past, no, it was a man, and she laughed for the first time in several months.

Ah Liang was originally going to not be able to stay for a second, but seeing her expression at this moment, he felt a little distressed, and said in a bumpy voice, "No... can you not call me sister..."

Song Zhili said: "Then you bring me a paper kite tomorrow."

"Do you want a crane?" A Liang bit his tongue secretly, what do you want, aren't you afraid of being braided!

Song Zhili rolled his eyes, "Okay."

A Liang lowered his head and dared not look any further.

……

Shen hurried to the mansion, the cold wind was blowing outside the door, the Zhumen were closed tightly, and the figure of the visitor disappeared, as if he had been waiting for a long time, he hurriedly dismounted and said: "Brother Yun Fu, why don't you go in?"

"It doesn't matter, I have something important to ask Brother Shen for help."

With a serious look, Shen pushed open the door, and took Li Yunfu's icy hand into the inner room.

"Brother Yun Fu, have a sip of hot tea to warm up before talking." Shen Shi said while making Kung Fu tea.

Li Yunfu held it in both hands and turned around, "It's not easy to say clearly in the letter, brother Shen has a lot of contacts and manages Dali Temple, I want to ask brother Shen to find someone for me."

Shen was stunned, "Who made you so anxious?"

Li Yunfu took out a portrait from his arms and stretched it out in front of Shen Shi.

"He... who is he?" Shen Shi asked.

Li Yunfu drank the hot tea, pursed his lips and said, "Xiao Jibei, the youngest son of General Xiao."

Shen Shi shook his hands, and two drops of tea splashed out, "What are you looking for him for?"

Li Yunfu said: "General Xiao died, Xiao's army was disintegrated, Fu Shangshu acted ruthlessly, and would not bring disaster to himself. I must find him and never let anything happen to him."

"That's too late."

Li Yunfu was taken aback, "What do you mean?"

"Do you know where he is now?" Shen Shi sighed, "No. 37 on the Imperial College list, you should look forward to it."

"Guozijian!" Li Yunfu shattered the teacup suddenly, "It's too bad, it's dangerous to send it to the north! Now that all the ministers in Luojiang are returning to Beijing, there must be someone with good intentions to visit the new supervisor..."
