The Laughing Usa of the Red Chamber

Most of the officials who entered the imperial examination began as officials of the seventh rank, and most of the champions were the seventh rank. Because there was no one in the six poems for the imperial examination, Shen Yulin first entered the Imperial Academy from the sixth rank.But he lacks qualifications, and he works with officials of the same class to do some chores such as sorting out old files and copying backups.

Shen Xiang knew that this was the most detrimental to a young man's temper, and it was also suitable for him to spend this period of indolence.

The apprentice is only fourteen years old, but he has the extraordinary skill of recruiting generals and protecting the king, and he is also the limelight in the Liuyuan Lianzhong. Worried about rising to the top?It's just that the prince cherishes the talents of his disciples and wants to take them with him to sharpen them... Alas, that's all, life is life. Although the water in the south of the Yangtze River is deep, there are many opportunities. With the protection of the prince, nothing will happen.

After hearing Shen Xiang's argument, Shen Yulin's eyelids twitched, and sure enough, he heard Shen Xiang slowly say: "The teacher has already dealt with this matter for you, the prince has always been discerning, and it is my disciple's blessing to be appreciated by him, and to live with the prince experience..."

Shen Yulin was relieved to hear at the meeting today that the Holy Master ordered King Yongning to conduct a thorough investigation of the Jiangnan salt administration, but he was told that he would go with him as soon as he returned home...

Seeing that the apprentice was silent, Shen Xiang patted him on the shoulder and said: "Your mother is under the care of a general, so don't worry, if you miss Master, send a letter..."

Shen Yulin knew that the matter was a foregone conclusion, so he had no choice but to bow his head and say, "I understand."

Shen Xiang sighed, and said: "Shao Qin should also take it with him, as the teacher is busy with daily affairs, he has no time to take care of it, his studies are very important at this time, and it is not easy to delay the homework......"

Shen Yulin nodded, and said again: "I don't know if there are other people accompanying me this time..."

Only then did Shen Xiang realize that Ji Qian didn't mention it at all, she was startled, and said: "Perhaps the prince has his own plan, you should be more cautious then."

Perhaps because of the hardships he suffered when he was young, his disciples were quite slick in dealing with people and affairs, so he wasn't worried about it.

......

After getting on the boat, Shen Yulin realized that what he was worried about did not exist at all. Except for the accompanying officials appointed by the Holy Majesty, Ji Qian only brought him along, and those accompanying officials were all on the second ship.

Looking from the outside, the main ship is no more luxurious than the surrounding auxiliary ships, but there is something different inside, once entering the cabin, a gust of cool wind blows head-on, Shen Yulin looked at it, and saw that the main room for guests was well-organized, The tables and chairs are beautifully arranged without being expensive, and you feel comfortable just looking at them.

Ji Qian and Ji Yuanyi were playing chess at first, seeing Shen Yulin coming in, Ji Yuan also saluted, and said with a smile: "Father Wang is very skilled at chess, Yuan Yi dare not play with him anymore, Master will definitely win it back for the disciple! "

As he spoke, he turned sideways, revealing a horrific game of chess that he had lost.

Shen Yulin watched, pursed his lips, and said, "Okay..."

Ji Yuan also winked at Nanny Liu, and Nanny Liu immediately smiled at Feng Shaoqin who was following Shen Yulin: "Young master, please come and see the room with this old slave. Sailing a boat taught people to change."

Feng Shaoqin glanced at Shen Yulin, saw him nod his head, and said with a smile, "Thank you very much." After saying that, he saluted Ji Qian, and followed Nanny Liu to see the room.

Ji Yuan also gave a mischievous smile, followed behind and went together.

Sitting opposite Ji Qian, Shen Yulin didn't look at him, just stared at the chess game with frowns.

Chess is like a man, Ji Qian's chess moves are upright, he is good at attacking and defending, occasionally there are dark hands but he is not despicable, it just makes people feel exquisite and extraordinary, and Ji Yuan is also...

"See the problem?" Ji Qian said.

Shen Yulin nodded. He was a trap every step of the way, leaving hidden tricks everywhere. Although he thought carefully, his methods were insufficient.

"He used to be the only ruthless word. He hurt people eight hundred and hurt himself three thousand. He was quite proud of it. Since he entered your door, he has improved a lot."

"Yulin doesn't dare to be that."

......

Shen Yulin lowered his head and used the tea lid to flick the tea leaves in the cup.

Ji Qian pursed his lips, and said, "I've been keeping a cold face just now, are you angry?"

Shen Yulin said nothing, but felt a little inexplicable grievance in his heart.

Ji Qian waved his sleeves to make people retreat, stretched out his hands to rub his hair, and said helplessly: "It happened so suddenly, I didn't come to discuss it with Yu Lin in a hurry, but why?"

Shen Yulin opened his mouth, but he couldn't refute. Ji Qian seemed to be predictable, and said: "There won't be a next time, this time is mine, isn't it, don't make trouble, okay?"

Listening to these words, it seemed that he was acting petty, Shen Yulin turned his head, avoided Ji Qian's hand, and did not respond.

Ji Qian smiled helplessly, and said: "It's getting late, go to Yulin, the boat is not as sweltering as Beijing, you're weak, use less ice at night."

Shen Yulin bowed his head in response, feeling sore in his heart.

It was indeed cool at night, lying on the comfortable cold bamboo mat, it was difficult for him to sleep all night.

When he got up the next morning, Shen Yulin was a little dizzy, and he didn't call for anyone because of the inconvenience on the boat, but at noon, he couldn't even get out of bed.

In his previous life, Shen Yulin came from a family in the south of the Yangtze River, he could walk and then take a boat, he never thought he would get seasick, yesterday he still laughed at Feng Shaoqin for making a fuss out of a molehill.

This time he only brought Jinxiu and the manting given by his master. Manting went to boil the medicine, while Jinxiu waited outside.

Some of them are empty.

There was a soft knock on the door, and because the time to decoct the medicine hadn't arrived, Shen Yulin only said it was beautiful, but without opening his eyes, he ordered lightly: "Go find a book and read it to me."

The visitor was slightly startled, but still took a book from his desk and sat on the edge of the bed.

"The Master said: Dao is not far away from people, and people are far away from people for Dao, so they cannot be Dao..."

A deep and pleasant voice sounded slowly, and Shen Yulin was startled. When she opened her eyes, it was indeed Ji Qian.

"My lord..." He was about to stand up but was pushed back by Ji Qian.

"Shouldn't you call me Biaozi?" Ji Qian said.

Shen Yulin was suffering at the moment, and lay down obediently, not in the mood to argue any further, and called softly: "Mu Qi..."

For some reason, there was a coquettish and complaining ending in the words. Ji Qian bent his black eyes and said, "Okay, don't bother you, let me read to you, okay?"

Shen Yulin rubbed his forehead and responded.

The deep and melodious reading sounded again, but it was replaced by a copy of "Jianxiu Ji".

"Last night when I saw Junxin, I didn't feel tears were wet. I recalled the beginning, when you were young and I was frivolous, but it was too late to realize your true love. I have always hated that this body is not your property, but I cut my sleeves to send lovesickness."

......

☆☆☆☆☆.

The boat sailed for five or six days, and as soon as it docked, I saw a dark crowd of officials waiting by the pier.

Because Ji Qian brought [-] elite soldiers this time, it can be seen that Beijing Central Committee attaches great importance to this matter, and these officials dare not treat this matter slowly.

Shen Yulin followed behind Ji Qian, seeing the respectful expressions of these officials, he couldn't help but smile in his heart, the officials in the world are the most greedy in Jiangnan, all of them look loyal, but they don't know what they are inside?

Ji Qian ordered the eunuch to announce the imperial edict, Fang glanced at the crowd, and said calmly: "These days, the king is temporarily staying in the Chiyang Palace, everyone, don't disturb your business."

Seeing that he was ready to leave, Liangjiang governor Chen Zhang hurriedly said: "In the evening, I held a dust-cleaning banquet for the prince at the Hegui Tower. I wonder if the prince will appreciate it?"

Ji Qian remained silent, his expression slightly cold.

Seeing Ji Qian's displeasure, they were about to smooth things over, when they suddenly heard a young voice say: "My lord, I heard that Jiangnan is the most prosperous place with gold powder, Yulin wants to see it! "

Ji Qian turned around and said, "Want to go?"

Shen Yulin smiled and said: "Of course, after being bored in the boat these days, it's time to relax."

Ji Qian nodded and said to Chen Zhang, "It's easy to do."

Immediately, unexplained eyes lingered on Shen Yulin from the crowd, and Ji Qian glanced coldly away.

At this time, Xu Wenlang, the newly appointed censor who inspected salt, said with a smile: "It's good that the number one scholar is willing to show respect. This banquet at the Crane Guilou is one of the best in the south of the Yangtze River."

He was trying to smooth things over, Ji Qian glanced at him and said, "I will go with you."

Shen Yulin smiled and said, "Thank you, my lord."

Ji Yuan also said: "I'm very dizzy on the boat these days, so I'll go back to the palace first."

As he spoke, he glanced at Feng Shaoqin, Feng Shaoqin understood, and said: "The disciples are also exhausted, so it's good for the master to go with the prince."

Shen Yulin raised his eyebrows and gave Ji Qian a questioning look. Ji Qian rubbed the top of his hair and said, "Don't worry about them."

Xu Wenlang saw that several people had reached an agreement, and said with a smile: "This place is the closest to the lower official's residence, the prince might as well take a rest there..."

Ji Qian glanced at him.

......

Along the way, I saw the courts, pavilions, small bridges and flowing water, and Jiuqu Gallery in the Yan Yushi Mansion, which looked more unique than the palace. Naturally, Xu Wenlang didn't have the guts. The confidant Lin Ruhai built it.

Passing through the gallery, you can see an arched door, which is the place for receiving guests. Seeing Xu Wenlang waving back, Shen Yulin knew that he must have something to tell Ji Qian, so he smiled and said, "Can Yulin retire first?"

Ji Qian said: "You don't need to retreat."

Shen Yulin hesitated and said, "Brother Wenlang must have something important..."

Xu Wenlang blinked, and said with a smile: "I haven't seen the little guy for a few years, and he's become more polite, isn't he called Brother Xu?"

Shen Yulin said helplessly: "Xu..."

But I heard Ji Qian snorting in front of me: "Stop gossip, the palace still needs to take care of things."

Xu Wenlang's eyes flashed, and he said with a smile: "What the lord said is true." As he spoke, he took out a roll of list from his sleeve.

"These are all officials that Wang Ziteng won over for the great prince, and none of them have a clean foundation. In addition, there are hidden threads in our people, the details are unknown, but the status...is not under Wen Lang."

Xu Wenlang is already a member of the third rank, and the Yongning party is also considered to be of the upper middle class, and there are only a handful of people above him.

Ji Qian said: "This king knows who he is, but he is still useful."

Xu Wenlang asked worriedly, "Will the tiger be a problem?"

However, Shen Yulin heard the way, and felt amused, this is his usual method in his previous life, it is easy to hide the hidden arrows with the open spear, but it is the best to use the hidden arrow without knowing that he has become the bright spear.

Ji Qian glanced at Xu Wenlang indifferently, but did not answer.

I didn't think that Xu Wenlang was not as clever as he thought.

Being a minister is more than enough, being a minister...the difference is too much.
