Why are you so anxious?

Before Princess Pingyang could reply, another young woman with a peony bun and a red palace attire came forward with a smile, and said with a smile: "So that the younger sister of the Yuan family can know that that person is Yong'an." Wang’s new concubine, surnamed Jun and surnamed Shaoyou, was originally a concubine of the Huguo Duke’s Mansion and is currently studying in the Imperial College. I heard that she is young and intelligent, and has quite a talent for poetry. Looking at it now, she really lives up to her reputation.”

It turned out that the young lady who asked the question was the younger generation of Yuan Shao's son-in-law who came from Jiangdong. Her surname was Yuan and her name was Zhixi.The reason why Princess Anle held such a poetry meeting was in the final analysis to choose a good husband for her.

Seeing this, Princess Pingyang felt a slight movement in her heart, and said: "Earlier, the elder brother insisted on marrying the emperor's wife regardless of his father's objection. Outsiders didn't think so. Now it seems that the elder brother has a sharper vision. Out of ten thousand people, such a person with amazing talent, glamor and elegance was directly selected. The sharpness of knowing people is really beyond my reach."

"It turns out that he is the illustrious Princess Yong'an that was rumored outside." Yuan's young lady replied thoughtfully, stroking her chest with one hand, and gently lifting the bamboo curtain hanging on the four walls with the other.Through the gaps in the thin gauze, one can look down from a height and clearly see the movements on the outer seats.

At that time, Jun Shaoyou had finished reciting his poems, so he bowed down and sat down, pouring himself a glass of wine to quench his thirst.Yong'an Wang Zhuanglin leaned closer, and reached out to pick up two chopsticks of green vegetables for Jun Shaoyou, so that he would not feel uncomfortable when he drank in a hurry.Noticing the light gauze curtain being raised on the second floor of the inner hall, Zhuang Lin's eyes darkened slightly, and he deliberately leaned closer to whisper and joke with Jun Shaoyou.The little lady standing upstairs couldn't hear the specific content of the two people's conversation, but only saw Jun Shaoyou smiled slightly and gave Zhuang Lin a sideways look.The momentary beauty makes people look fascinated and blush.

The little lady said in a daze, "That man looks really good when he smiles."

Princess Pingyang pursed her lips involuntarily, and her eyes fell on Jun Shaoyou unconsciously.Seeing Jun Shaoyou and Zhuang Linyan laughing at Yanyan and getting along well, he heard the shy praise from the young lady of the Yuan family.For some reason, she remembered Jun Shaoyou's deliberate cold treatment when she had a banquet in the Queen's Palace last time. Princess Pingyang frowned uncomfortably, and a sour and astringent feeling rose in her heart.It's as if something that once belonged to me has been snatched away by others.

Noticing the ready-to-move thoughts of many female relatives, the consort's wife, Qiu Shi, smiled, stretched out her hand to take Yuan Zhixi's hand, and said with a calm smile: "It's windy here, and it's cold after standing for a long time, sister, go back to the table and sit down. "

Yuan Zhixi reluctantly stood by the railing and watched for a long time before turning her head and walking away.At the end, she couldn't stop asking Qiu Shi: "Good sister-in-law, tell me about that man's deeds."

She didn't know what happened, but when she saw Jun Shaoyou, she unconsciously engraved that person's figure in her heart.Opening and closing eyes is the man's handsome face, imagining how he looks at him with a smile and affection.Yuan Zhixi touched her hot cheeks, and sighed again: "That man is really good-looking. It's rare to have such talent and character. King Yong'an is so blessed."

Qiu Shi pursed her lips and smiled lightly, and slightly echoed, "Everyone says so."

At the outside banquet, Jun Shaoyou didn't know that his skill in a poem had already won the admiration of a certain girl.He looked at the ossuary filled with vinegar and celery by Zhuang Lin with some amusement, raised his eyebrows and said, "You never finish, if you keep doing this, I won't be able to accompany you to the banquet in the future."

Zhuang Lin groaned twice, glanced at Jun Shaoyou, and at the direction of the second floor of the inner hall.Another look at Jun Shaoyou, and another look at the direction of the second floor of the inner hall.Silently picked up the vinegar and celery in Jun Shaoyou's bowl, and ate it into his mouth one by one, with a ferocious and serious expression, which could stop the child from crying at night.

Jun Shaoyou shook his head a little unbearably, and said, "If you eat too much vinegar celery, be careful and have a stomachache."

"I will feel bad if I eat less." Zhuang Lin approached Jun Shaoyou and whispered.

Jun Shaoyou only felt that his ears were itchy from Zhuang Lin's hot breath. He turned slightly to avoid Zhuang Lin's teasing, and reached out to pick up a chopstick to steam mutton for him. He said seriously: "Since ancient times, beauties love heroes. It is always easy to get the love and attention of others. Food and sex are also sexual, even if the prince is jealous, it is useless."

Seeing that although Jun Shaoyou was not very obvious, there was an inexplicable sense of superiority unique to males between the lines, Zhuang Lin smiled and said: "The sage has a saying: those who are good at riding fall on horses, and those who are good at water Drowning in water, those who are good at drinking are drunk with wine, those who are good at fighting are killed. In this way, the young and the good and the beautiful will eventually die in the hands of the beauties. This is also nature."

The smile on Jun Shaoyou's face froze, he gave Zhuang Lin a vicious look, turned his head away and stopped talking.The person I hate the most in my life is the only one who doesn't open the pot and lifts the pot, and there is no way to play together.

Seeing that his words had offended others indiscriminately, Zhuang Lin shook his head and smiled wryly, and quietly held Jun Shaoyou's hand under the cover of the food case, and said in a low voice: "But in this life, I will do my best to keep Shaoyou's glory and wealth , An Le Qingping. No one will hurt you or hurt you again, Shaoyou can rest assured."

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Jun Shaoyou didn't want to break away from Zhuang Lin so much that others would laugh at him, so he said in a low voice, "I can protect my own life. bother."

Zhuang Lin grasped Jun Shaoyou's palm back hard, and said in a low voice: "But if Shaoyou is hurt, I will also be in pain and sad. So for the sake of my own wealth and life, I still have to keep Shaoyou safe and sound. good."

After a pause, he said again: "I am happy with Shaoyou, so I am naturally willing to do anything for you. This is also my own business, and it has nothing to do with you, so you just don't have to pay attention to me."

These words are extremely lingering and hot, coupled with Zhuang Lin's serious and persistent face, even if Jun Shaoyou doesn't believe it, he can't help but feel a little warmth.

Some people are used to some things, and they can't help but believe it.A lie has been told so many times that no one will believe it.It's just like everyone's mouth makes money, three people become a tiger, but I don't know who will be the first to be smoothed out in this soft and hard confrontation, revealing the softest and most defenseless part of the bottom of my heart.

This day's poetry meeting was lively and lively until it was time to hold the lanterns, and then it ended happily.Before returning, Princess Anle kindly asked Zhuang Lin and Jun Shaoyou to walk around the mansion frequently.Zhuang Lin and the two naturally had no choice but to agree.Princess Anle also asked Yuan Qi to send Zhuang Lin and the two out of the mansion. The affectionate appearance made Zhuang Zhou who was standing by the side very keen.Princess Pingyang, who had already come out of the inner hall, was full of thoughtfulness and desolation, her eyes fell on Jun Shaoyou from time to time, with a hint of admiration and shyness just right in her clarity and gentleness, in Zhuang Lin's eyes, she was short of breath again.

After the chrysanthemum poetry meeting, the poems written by Jun Shaoyu spread like wildfire, attracting countless literati and poets. Even the singers in the song and dance workshop were proud of singing "Jun Ci".When the news spread to the palace, Emperor Yongqian felt very relieved, and specially sent someone to reward Jun Shaoyou with a hundred taels of gold, encouraging Jun Shaoyou to continue his studies.

The dignitaries from all the great families also issued invitations to invite Mrs. Yong'an Wang and his wife to the banquet.How many maids ordered to directly invite Jun Shaoyou to participate in various poetry gatherings in the name of Princess Yong'an, which really made Jun Shaoyou dumbfounded.Of course, there is no need to elaborate on how many jars of vinegar and celery Zhuang Lin ate.

In the Guozijian, although there are people like Jun Shaojie and his party who criticize and slander secretly, there are also many students and scholars who ask Jun Shaoyou for advice and discuss poetry.Jun Shaoyou gradually integrated into it, and there will be an exam in the spring of next February. Zhang Mingcheng has already helped Jun Shaoyou register as a student in the name of the Imperial College. It is also full and busy.

Time flies, and the winter solstice has passed in a blink of an eye.

On this day, the sky was sprinkled with snow like paper.It has been snowing heavily for a whole day, and there is nearly an inch of snow on the ground. People walking in it will soon wet their shoes and socks.

It was afternoon, but the overcast sky was like evening.The dark clouds are heavy, and the northwest wind whizzes and whirls past with snowflakes.The cold wind was so cold that it hurt people's faces as if they had been scraped by a blade.In the Guozijian school dormitory, students wearing heavy winter clothes sat in twos and threes. Several pots of silver charcoal were lit locally. The red charcoal fire was burning. Some students threw a few pieces of plum blossom fragrance into the charcoal pot. Added a bit of elegance.

Yao Pengfei threw down the scroll in his hand a little irritatedly, and said, "The heavy snow this winter has been falling endlessly. I heard that several houses outside the city were crushed and collapsed by the heavy snow. Countless people were killed and injured. Yesterday I Entering through the north city gate, you can already see refugees gathering outside the city. It is estimated that Jing Zhaoyin must be busy again."

Yang Yong nodded and said: "Many families in Beijing have built porridge sheds to sell rice, sell medicine, and give people winter clothes. Our family also has a porridge shed at the west gate, and we have been donating for three days. But there are more and more refugees. .I checked, and most of them are not locals."

Li Yu said: "Yong'an City is at the foot of the Son of Heaven. If there are people who suffer from snow disasters, Jing Zhaoyin will rescue and relieve them in the shortest time due to the limitation of his duties, so there will be no big trouble. Listen to me My father said that it was the one in the northwest that suffered the most disasters. It was bitterly cold in the northwest, and it was even worse than here. After these winter snows, most of the houses were crushed and collapsed, not to mention those who were smashed to death. The wounded, just the ones who froze to death are countless. Secondly, there was also a snowstorm on the grassland, and countless cattle and horses died. The border troops fought bravely, but the barbarians stretched the battle line too long, and there are always places where the defense is not good enough for them to take advantage of the loopholes. It is estimated that among these refugees, there are some who fled from the northwest."

After a pause, Li Yu said again: "I heard from my father that His Majesty is busy dispatching troops and generals recently, and it is estimated that there will be another war."

Hearing this, Yang Yong said, "The barbarians in the Northwest are really uneducated. They always provoke troubles and fail my court. From my point of view, they have to fight a good fight so that they can understand how powerful I am."

The Da Chu Dynasty advocated martial arts, and it has only been established for more than ten years. It still has the kind of pride of "conquering thousands of miles to find a prince, and serving the country with a sword." Even a scholar is no exception.

At this point, Yang Yong turned his head and said to Jun Shaoyou: "Now the general in charge of guarding the northwest is the hussar general Lin Hui. This man is the son of the old marshal of Zhenguo. He is familiar with the art of war and is good at defense. If your majesty only The heart of defense, only this person is enough. When dispatching troops and generals, it must be to invade the northern Xiongnu. Maybe Yong'an King will be busy again."

Hearing this, Jun Shaoyou shook his head unconsciously and said, "I haven't heard anything at the moment."

Yang Yong sighed: "If King Yong'an went out to fight, it would be great if Shaoyou could go out with the army. I have no chance to step out of Yong'an City in my life. If you can go to the northwest with the army and win a big victory in the future, I have something to say. explain."

Jun Shaoyou smiled, shook his head and said, "How is this possible."

Yu Gong, he, Jun Shaoyou, is just a student of Guozijian, with a mere white body, how can he go out with the army.In private, he is Princess Yong'an, and I have never heard of any general who can bring his family with him when he goes out to war.

While talking, Jun Shaoyou didn't know that Zhuang Lin had been summoned into the palace by Emperor Yongqian, let alone that someone's self-assessment had committed a mistake again...
