The emperor's heart alone

However, Xu Yunjin thought so in his heart, but he definitely couldn't say it out loud. One is because Shi Junji is a member of the royal family, and the other is because his relationship with Shi Junji has not reached that level, so he just said: " I just hope that the ministers can see that the Minister of the Ministry of Officials has no credit but hard work these years, and let the Zhao family have a way out."

Shi Junji was noncommittal: "I am very surprised that something like this happened in Zhao's house. I think you must be very sad. For your friend, I think," Shi Junji paused, "I can help you."

Xu Yunjin smiled: "No, no, sad? It's really not. If it wasn't for the fear of implicating Zhao Ershao, we would definitely drink and congratulate now."

Surprise appeared on Shi Junji's face, and he didn't understand Xu Yunjin's meaning. After thinking about it, he thought that his guess was correct: "Is it because he is afraid that Mr. Zhao will get the property of the Zhao family? Yes, the second young master Zhao is the Zhao family after all. Second young master, if nothing happens, the Zhao mansion will probably belong to Mr. Zhao afterward." As soon as Shi Junji finished speaking, he saw Xu Yunjin's strange eyes looking at him, and he couldn't help asking strangely, "What's the matter? Am I wrong?"

Xu Yunjin shook his head helplessly: "Let me tell you, even if your surname is Shi, you have a high status and disdain to be with people like us, you don't even know about it." Shi Junji also heard clearly, and couldn't help being even more puzzled: "Why, is there anything I haven't figured out about this matter?"

Xu Yunjin was not in a hurry to answer Shi Junji's doubts. He took the teapot and poured another cup of tea. After thinking about it, he still filled the teacup in front of Shi Junji: "This is Mr. Zhao, it is true that he is the eldest son, but He was born to a lowly concubine, and Zhao Ershao is the real son of the Zhao family. However, Zhao Ershao's mother passed away early, and her natal family's power is weak, so she can't help Zhao Ershao. , so I look up to Mr. Zhao, he doesn't have any status in the Zhao residence."

As Xu Yunjin said, Shi Junji frowned.

In the Daping Dynasty, the eldest son inheritance system was always advocated. This is not only reflected in the choice of the heir to the throne, but also in the noble families of various families. The more prominent the family, the more they pay attention to these rules. It is also a prominent family, to do such a thing now is to break the rules.It is an unwritten rule not to let other concubines or Tongfang give birth to the eldest son before the wife gives birth to the eldest son. Is it more than one point or two wrong?

Shi Junji really didn't know about these things about the Zhao family. He always thought that the Minister of the Ministry of Officials was a very clear person, but now it seems that this is not the case.

"So, Second Young Master Zhao is really pitiful." Shi Jun was thoughtful.

"No, he's not pitiful." Xu Yunjin shook his head, "I think, if there were no such things about the Zhao family, I would not have a friend like Zhao Ershao. From this point of view, I am still very grateful to the Minister of the Ministry of Officials."

"Okay, I understand." Shi Junji smiled, "Zhao Ershao is your friend, and Mr. Zhao is Zhao Ershao's enemy, and the enemy of a friend is your enemy. I think, maybe I can Do something for you."

"No, you don't have to do anything for me, including Zhao Ershao's affairs, including giving me things." Xu Yunjin also said with a smile, "No matter what, Mr. Zhao is to blame. Things to consider, and I believe that the emperor will definitely make a fair judgment."

"...In the final analysis, you still don't want my things." Shi Junji still maintained a smile, "Well, if you don't want me to do anything about this matter, then do as you wish."

Xu Yunjin curled his lips, and did not make any comments on this: "I've finished eating, and I have something to do in the afternoon, let's go first."

Shi Junji held Xu Yunjin who was about to get up, Xu Yunjin raised his eyebrows: "Is there anything else?"

"The Gladiolus Festival will be in a few days, do you have time?"

The Jianlan Festival was a very famous festival in the Daping Dynasty.From the dignitaries to the common people, people in the Daping Dynasty loved gladiolus very much. Among them, the gladioli in the capital bloomed the best in August. After a long time, it was decided that August 25th would be celebrated every year. During the Gladiolus Festival, the capital will hold a gladiolus flower exhibition. When that day comes, there will be many locals in the capital, people who are near or far from the capital, and some will come to the capital to watch the flower exhibition, just to see the beauty of the gladiolus.

This day can be regarded as a day of universal joy, even in the palace there will be a small gladiolus show in the evening for the royal family to watch, and the most beautiful gladiolus selected at the Beijing gladiolus show every year will also be displayed in the imperial palace. It was sent to the imperial palace when the gladiolus exhibition was held.

"Gladiola Festival?" Xu Yunjin said, "Why are you asking this?"

"I heard that the gladiolus exhibition in the capital was very lively that day, so I really want to go shopping. If you have time, why not go with us." Shi Junji smiled.

Xu Yunjin shook his head without hesitation: "I don't have time, you'd better find someone else to accompany you." Just kidding, I wish I could stay away from him now, so how could I make an appointment with him to participate in the gladiola festival together? exhibition?

Shi Jun was a little disappointed, but also a little unwilling: "Can't I really spare time? I can do it anytime that day." This means that it is also possible at night.The Gladiolus Exhibition in Beijing lasts from morning to late at night, but the most crowded time is in the evening, because the true face of the most beautiful gladiolus will be revealed in the evening, and the most beautiful gladiolus will be sent to the palace after being selected. If you come out after the evening, although you can see other gladioli, the No.1 gladiolus can’t be seen, which is inevitably disappointing.And Shi Junji said that it can be done at any time, which implies that it is also possible after the evening. Although according to the custom, the emperor also needs to attend the sword orchid flower exhibition in the palace every year, but if Shi Junji and Xu Yunjin make an appointment at night, Shi Junji Junji doesn't mind finding an excuse to get out of the palace at all.

"No, I really don't have time, you'd better find someone else to accompany you." Xu Yunjin said again, without any sign of wavering.

"Okay then." Shi Jun let go of Xu Yunjin's hand in great disappointment, Xu Yunjin hesitated for a moment, picked up the brocade box on the table and left the private room.

"Let's go." Xu Yunjin looked at Xu Sa, Zhang Dequan and others who were guarding outside, and said to Qinghuan Qingpei, the three of them went down to the second floor, and when Qinghuan was about to pay the bill, Xu Yunjin stopped Qinghuan from moving : "No need to pay, we will pay for the meal with the person upstairs."

The shopkeeper said he understood, Xu Yunjin left Donglaiju satisfied with a happy smile on his face, the shopkeeper sent Xiao Er to go up to check out, Xiao Er quickly ran to the second floor, and followed the standing outside with a smile on his face. Xu Sa bowed his body: "My lord, Xu Ershao's account, do you think it's settled now?"

Xu Sa & Zhang Dequan & the guards & Shi Junji who just stepped out of the private room: "..."

Xu Yunjin left Donglaiju and went back to Xu's mansion directly. Now that I think about it, my home is the safest place. It seems that I can always meet Shi Junji in other places. After thinking about it, Xu Yunjin found that the person who met Shi Junji the most The place seems to be living in Donglai, well, Xu Yunjin decided to eat in other restaurants when he goes out to eat in the future!

But having said that, Xu Yunjin found that he was always not calm enough in front of Shi Junji. Shi Junji's status is enough for Xu Yunjin to respect him at a respectful distance, and if he meets him again in the future, he must be calm and not lose his temper!Xu Yunjin breathed a sigh of relief after Xixi gave himself a warning from the bottom of his heart.

During the day, the Xu Mansion is always very peaceful. Xu Yunjin went back to his bedroom without hindrance, lay comfortably on the recliner, but soon sat up again, took out the brocade box Shi Junji gave him from his arms, and thought After thinking about it, he casually threw it to Qingpei who was fanning himself: "Find a place to put it, and don't let me see it."

Qingpei agreed, and Xu Yunjin lay down again with peace of mind, and began to take a nap.

The afternoon nap didn't last too long, and the weather was still a bit muggy. When he got up, Xu Yunjin started to take a bath, and came out of the bathtub slowly, muttering how comfortable the bath was, and saying that if there was a big The bath was ready, and Qingpei, who was serving him, pretended not to hear Xu Yunjin's muttering: "Second young master, the master has returned, and the eldest son has also returned from the Gongyuan."

"The township exam is over?" Xu Yunjin was taken aback. Since the incident with Mr. Zhao, he really didn't pay much attention to the time of the township exam. The township exam ends on August [-]th, and the examiners have to stay in the Gongyuan for a day Come to sort out the exam papers, send them to the Ministry of Rites after sorting out the exam papers, and start marking the papers the next day, and then they can go back to their homes on the same day.So, today is already August [-]th?

"Yes, the master knows that the eldest son is coming back today, so he came back earlier, and wants to tell the eldest son some things."

Xu Yunjin was in high spirits, and when Qingpei's attendant had finished putting on the light red casual clothes he wore in the mansion, he took Qingpei to the study.

"Father, elder brother, what are you talking about?" Without waiting for the servants outside to report, Xu Yunjin pushed the door open and entered.

"Nie Zi! You need to report before entering the door, and you don't understand! You should find a master to educate you!"

Xu Yunjin pretended not to see Xu Tao, who started blowing his beard and staring at Xu Tao again, and walked up to Xu Yunting with a smile: "Brother, you are back, I came to see you as soon as I heard the news of your return!"

Xu Yunting laughed and pushed away Xu Yunjin who was sticking to him: "You, you, I don't think you have thought of me these days at all. You didn't realize that you didn't pay attention to me these days when you heard Qingpei say that I came back."

"No way." Xu Yunjin said haha, "I think about you every day, big brother, big brother, tell you how far the matter of Mr. Zhao has progressed."

Xu Yunting squinted at Xu Yunjin: "I knew it, you go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, tell me, what do you want to know?"
