Chapter 8 - Involved in the world

The days of summer were long, and after Xushi, the sky gradually darkened. On the road leading to Qinzheng Hall, a few lights were quietly lit.

Li Shilang is rushing to Qinzheng Palace together with several ministers from Zhongshu Province with the official documents that he rushed out today.They have a lot of business these days, wishing they could run to the palace eight times a day, the soles of their shoes are almost worn out.

The accompanying palace servants were afraid that they would not have time to illuminate the adults, so they walked in front of them like flying, and when they turned a corner, they almost collided with the oncoming group of people.

The person coming from the opposite side was taken aback by him, and scolded sharply: "Little monkey with no eyes! Why don't you even have eyes when you walk, and you bumped into His Royal Highness, and you can't eat and walk around!"

The palace servant was taken aback, and quickly knelt down to beg for mercy: "This servant only wanted to enlighten the adults, but unexpectedly ran into His Royal Highness, this servant deserves death! Father-in-law, spare your life, Prince, spare your life!"

Li Shilang frowned, exchanged glances with several ministers, and was about to speak, but the other side spoke first:

"The adults in Zhongshu Province are the pillars of the country, and they have made great contributions. He has worked so hard to illuminate the adults, how can he be punished, he should be rewarded." Xun Yi said, and came out from behind, looking upright. He bowed his hands to several adults.

People in Zhongshu Province are so busy that they don't touch the ground every day, and they have never had much contact with the royal family; but Xun Yi is very polite, even if they have many doubts in their hearts, they return the courtesy one after another.

With a slight smile on his face, Xun Yi exchanged greetings with several Zhongshu ministers, then ordered someone to add two lamps to the Zhongshu ministers, and then turned and left.

Seeing the figure of Prince Ping's son Yushu Linfeng disappearing in the corridor, several Zhongshu ministers looked away and praised one after another.

"I heard that His Royal Highness is cold and cold, but I didn't expect him to be so gentle and polite when I saw him today. It shows that the rumors are not credible!"

"really."

"Sure enough, the rumors are unbelievable!"

The ministers who didn't know why agreed one after another, and Li Shilang walked beside him, but his expression was a little strange.

He always felt that Xun Yi's sudden good attitude seemed not because of simple gentleness and politeness, but because of his precious nephew who had just arrived in the capital.

But before his wife and nephew had an overwhelmingly bad evaluation of this son, he was not sure, so he just thought silently: After finishing the business, go home and ask Ziyu.

The chatting ministers quieted down, and their pace gradually slowed down—it was the Qinzheng Hall.

Li Shilang put away his extra thoughts, watched the passer-bys enter the brightly lit Qinzheng Hall, and watched his nephew come out of it.

My nephew! ?

Li Shilang stared at the figure who came out, and said in a broken voice, "Ziyu?"

When Fu Ning looked up, he was also surprised to see his uncle and a group of Zhongshu ministers looking at him: "Uncle?"

The surrounding ministers followed the sound and saw a handsome young man walking towards this side. They were all stunned for a moment, and then someone well-informed was the first to react: "Li Shilang, this is your A nephew from Jiangnan, right? What a talent!"

Li Shilang heard his colleagues praise his own child, and there was a little smile on his serious face: "This is my ineffective nephew."

Fu Ning looked at the uniform documents in the hands of several ministers, and immediately judged that these ministers were all ministers of Zhongshu, so he respectfully performed the junior salute first, and won a lot of praise.

One of the ministers with a gray beard seemed to be particularly satisfied with him. After boasting a few words, he asked directly: "How old are you this year? Have you ever made a marriage arrangement at home?"

Before Fu Ning could answer, Li Shilang took over the words: "Ziyu is only fourteen this year, and it's time for him to study. Marriage and so on, wait a few years to get the honor, and it won't be too late."

All the people present were smart, and immediately understood Li Shilang's implication, and immediately changed the topic to talk about other things; although the minister with gray beard had regrets in his eyes, he didn't bring up the topic again.

While speaking, the palace official who passed on had already walked in front of everyone, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, please come in and talk."

Li Shilang is not usually a mother-in-law, but looking at his eye-catching nephew, he still told him to go home early, and then followed the crowd to the hall.

Fu Ning watched his uncle leave, and walked out of the palace along the way he came, but secretly thought in his heart, when he got home, he had to get a good understanding of the human relations in the capital.

After walking for a long time, the palace gate finally appeared in front of my eyes.

Thank you courteously to the palace man who turned on the lamp, just as Funing walked out the door, he only heard the sound of "Come out!" from outside, and then a familiar boy greeted him, and said with a smile: "Young Master Fu, where are you?" please."

It was the people around Xun Yi.

Fu Ning weighed it for a while, then followed the boy and walked over.

When the people waiting at the door saw him coming, they quickly opened the car curtain.Xun Yi, who was leaning on the small table, raised his eyes, stared at him as he got into the car and sat down firmly, and then asked, "Why is it so late?"

Fu Ning casually said: "Something is delayed."

Xun Yi was noncommittal, and just pushed the snacks on the table towards him: "Let's make a cushion first, it will take some time to get to your uncle's house, don't starve."

Looking at the exquisite snacks on the plate, Funing suddenly had an uncontrollable thought: Could it be that pillow this afternoon broke Xun Yi's mind?Why did he suddenly look like a normal person?

He lowered his head, Fu Ning couldn't see his expression, seeing him staring at the snack, he snorted coldly: "It's not poisoned, it won't harm you, eat it at ease."

Fu Ning came back to his senses, looked at the indifferent look on Xun Yi's face, and suddenly breathed a sigh of relief: It's okay, it's not broken, it's still so childish.

He reached out to pick up a piece of snack, and took the initiative to pick a topic: "The moonlight is pretty good tonight. It's not even fifteen, but it's so bright."

"Well, the stars are also good." Xun Yi replied very seriously.

Funing: "Indeed."

There was silence for a while, and they were speechless.

Fu Ning closed his eyes, and was about to find another topic when Xun Yi suddenly asked, "Are the creases on the faces of the ministers of Zhongshu pretty?"

Fu Ning laughed: "Shizi is in the car, but his ears are quite sensitive."

Xun Yi was indifferent, and continued: "There was a very annoying old man in the group just now, he always likes to seek relatives everywhere, has he bothered you?"

Funing recalled for a moment: "Are you talking about a man with a gray beard and a medium build? That was quite—enthusiastic."

Xun Yi saw that what he said was reserved, so he pointed it out and asked: "Did he say that he asked your family to be a guest?"

Fu Ning shook his head: "The relationship between me and that lord should not be so close."

Xun Yi sneered: "It's because you think that when people see you, a talented person who came all the way to Beijing, they would like to stick to you."

Leaning on the cushion behind him, he said slowly: "This old man is Zhongshu's servant who is your uncle's colleague. His surname is Guo. There are five daughters in his family. He jumps up and down all day long, trying to find a good place for his daughter."

Fu Ning said dumbly: "So there is such a relationship." There are many high-ranking officials and nobles in the capital, and there are not a few of them who maintain their relationship through in-laws. With so many daughters in Guo Shilang's family, they naturally want to find a good family to form a relationship with, but... .....

He asked subconsciously: "But I don't have any fame right now, and my parents are still far away in Yuezhou, how could he find me?"

Xun Yi was silent for a while: "Are you really not understanding, or are you pretending not to understand?"

Fu Ning: ...

This matter is his knowledge blind spot, he really doesn't understand.

He was in Yuezhou before, and although he learned some ways to behave from his father, he didn't dabble much in officialdom, so he could only try to think about it: "Because my grandfather was a grand tutor?"

No matter how you think about it, this is the only possibility.

Seeing that his distressed expression did not seem to be fake, Xun Yi sighed leisurely: "No wonder Li Shilang is so worried about you. It seems that you really don't understand."

Until he got out of the car and walked into the Minister's Mansion, what Xun Yi said just now was still echoing in Funing's mind.

"What he wants is not your family relationship, but your future, Funing."
