The emperor's heart alone

After two or three days, Xu Yunjin finally recovered his old work and rest habits and spirit. During this period, Shi Junji came here twice, and each time he was frightened back by Xu Yunjin's cold face, which made Shi Junji baffled. Where did Xu Yunjin offend.

After staying in the mansion for a few days, Xu Yunjin was already impatient, and when he recovered, Xu Yunjin left Xu's mansion directly - as early as yesterday, he had already made an appointment with Su Shao and others to gather in Huancai Pavilion.

"Congratulations to Third Young Master Liu for getting his wish and finally escaping from that house." Xu Yunjin raised his glass and said with a smile, "Come on, in order to celebrate, I have to have a drink no matter what, of course, for me, I will replace wine with tea. "

Naturally, everyone would have no objection, and raised their glasses one after another. Zhao Ershao also said, "I also have to congratulate you, Liu Sanshao. No matter what you do now, you won't be tied down."

Young Master Li seemed even happier. If the occasion didn't allow it, he might have danced and danced to show his joy: "That's all right. After the new year, I can go south with you, and I won't be running back and forth alone." gone."

Liu Sanshao also looked happy, and everyone drank the contents of their cups. Xu Yunjin said to Li Dashao and Liu Sanshao: "I didn't expect Liu Sanshao's matter to be resolved so quickly, and I didn't think about it for a while. Arrangement, I have an idea after hearing what you said, Young Master Li."

"how to say?"

Xu Yunjin sorted out his thoughts: "Next year is the first year of our north-south trade route, so we can't ignore it. We have to take care of everything. Originally, I was worried that only young master Li was busy going back and forth. Although we are in the capital We can also help, but we can't leave the capital for a hundred miles. Naturally, we can't do anything along the way. We need one more person to deal with it. Now that Liu Sanshao has left Liu's residence, it will be up to Liu Sanshao and Li Dashao. The two of you are in charge together. First Young Master Li and Third Young Master Liu, you two will be divided into two groups, one will go to the destination and the other will set off, now it seems that a lot of time can be saved."

Liu Sanshao said with a smile: "That's a good relationship. I still worry that I have nothing to do now, and I will be moldy at home all day long."

First Young Master Li patted Third Young Master Liu on the shoulder: "Follow me this time, I'm sure you won't have much time to get moldy, no matter how long your hands are, your hands will be fine."

"Fuck you, what do you mean by doing it with you?" Liu Sanshao laughed and scolded, "This is the business of the five of us. I'm doing my business. How can I say I'm doing it with you?"

"What you said is wrong." Young Master Li's eyes widened. "I was responsible for this matter at the beginning. Who else knows better than me? Why didn't you do it with me?"

Xu Yunjin shook his head helplessly, ignoring First Young Master Li and Third Young Master Liu's stubborn talk, and asked Young Master Su who was sitting next to him: "Is there any result to what I asked you?"

Su Shao directly took out two pieces of paper from his bosom and handed them to Xu Yunjin: "I have read all the names of all the people in the capital area who participated in the rural examination and passed the exam this year, except for those who are already married After those who are prominent, those who are older than the weak crown, those who have a bad reputation, etc., there are not many people left to choose from. Don’t say it, that Xiang Yi is really a suitable candidate, but it’s a pity that you don’t like him.” Young Master Su shrugged, "In the end, there are less than ten people left, and they are all on this piece of paper. Take a look."

Before Young Master Su finished speaking, Xu Yunjin opened the paper and read it carefully. Seeing that Xu Yunjin was looking at the information of the first person, Young Master Su added: "I picked the first one, the first one is my favorite. Valuable."

Xu Yunjin obviously also took a fancy to the first person, pondered for a moment: "Do you have more detailed information?"

Su Shao nodded: "This person's name is Yu Zhaoming. He is No.2 in the provincial examination. He is very talented. I heard that even the ministers who graded the papers are full of praise for his articles. He is 16 years old and has never married. , I have never had a woman or man by my side, and they are very clean and self-contained. Not to mention their appearance, it is naturally good. The family background is average, but I don’t think you care about this, their family is sixty or seventy miles away from the capital. He is a wealthy family in the local area. His father is a Juren. After failing the imperial examination once, he did not take the imperial examination again. He went back to his hometown and became a private school teacher. He is very famous in the local area. Most importantly, Yu The couple in the family are well-known loving couples in the local area, and they have been like this for several generations, the inner courtyard is very simple, and Yu Zhaoming is also the only son of the Yu family."

The more he listened to Xu Yunjin, the more he was satisfied with this person named Yu Zhaoming. Young Master Su was right, he really didn't pay much attention to the other party's family background. What kind of weight can Xu Yunqin add to his family? Besides, even if the other party is very poor, firstly, Xu Yunqin's dowry will not be shabby, and secondly, the person he chooses will at least be an official. With the support of my family, I am not afraid that I will not achieve anything in the future.

Su Shao added with some embarrassment: "I have already found someone to know about Tai Zhaoming in advance, and I have also had people get in touch with him. Don't worry, Yu Zhaoming's temperament is definitely different from Xiang Yi."

"I've heard too much about Zhaoming." Young Master Li suddenly said, "I heard that he is very popular in this year's provincial examination. I think those who can do well in the Juren will not be pedantic. It should be smooth."

Xu Yunjin nodded thoughtfully, but he still had the idea of ​​meeting this person for a while before making a decision, and he could no longer make a choice easily.

Xu Yunjin said again: "How about Xiang Yi?"

Su Shao sneered: "As you expected, he is really dishonest."

At the beginning, Xiang Yi kept saying in the Xu Mansion that he would sue the Chu family for beating people to death in the street. Not long afterward, Xu Yunjin drew attention to Xiang Yi's actions. After leaving, I have never seen Xiang Yi have any contact with them. Not only did Xiang Yi never mention this matter to his father, even the so-called one who had won the exam wanted to sue the Chu family together with him. The friends in the yamen just got together and talked about it, but they didn't take any action afterwards.Suspiciously, Xu Yunjin asked people to check the background details of those people carefully, but they found some dirty things. It turned out that these people were just hypocritical people who were bluffing, and what they said was completely different from what they did.

Xu Yunjin remembered that Young Master Su had told him that Xiang Yi had a good reputation, so he had someone check it out again. It was just a hypocrite pretending to be upright in front of outsiders. Compared to someone like Xiang Yi, Xu Yunjin was more Like those real gentlemen.Speaking of it, it is very similar to the Fourth Young Master and the others, wearing a gentleman's skin and secretly doing villain things. Xu Yunjin just looks down on such people. Since they have done it, why is there any need to cover it up?Very hypocritical.

Xu Yunjin felt that people like Xiang Yi had to do some shameful things more or less. Now that Xiang Yi has become a juren, with his ability, as long as he can perform normally in the examination next year, it will be easy for him to become a Jinshi. In other words, Xiang Yi now has the time and energy to do things that he wanted to do but never had the chance to do before, so Xu Yunjin asked Su Shao to send people to follow Xiang Yi all the time. If he can really catch something, Xu Yunjin can also handle Xiang Yi and Xu Yunqin's affairs.

As Xu Yunjin expected, Young Master Su really caught Xiang Yi.

"Xiang Yi is a lustful person. It's nothing to put it in someone else's family, but Xiang's family has always been the same as your family. Men only marry one official wife, and there are no concubines or housemates. Therefore, It was a big mistake for Xiang Yi to be fond of sex. A few days ago, he secretly had a relationship with a servant girl who was serving him. Lest his father find out about it, he sent the servant girl out of the Xiang residence and placed him outside. That servant girl now has to go there every now and then, but not many times, and his father didn't notice."

A look of sullenness flashed across Xu Yunjin's face. Now that he is still "feeling in love" with his third sister, he can't wait to steal it. If he really gets married with Yunqin in the future, it might not be in the future. The servant girl was placed outside, but placed directly at home!

"Then let Xiang Yi's father know." Xu Yunjin said, "This is their housework, and they should always handle it by themselves."

Su Shao quickly understood Xu Yunjin's meaning: "Xiang Yiping, Mr. Xiang is not a bad-mouthed person, but he has a very good friendship with Mr. Xu Tao and Mr. Xu. If he knows about such misfortunes in his family, he may not be able to let go of his resentment. It's normal for friends to complain."

Xu Yunjin smiled: "I think so too."

Xu Yunjin and Su Shao glanced at each other, knowing what the other was thinking.

Zhao Ershao smiled and said: "You two really have a good understanding, but the three of us are far behind."

Xu Yunjin shook his head: "This has nothing to do with tacit understanding, but with intelligence."

Liu Sanshao feigned anger and said, "Are you saying that the three of us are stupid?"

Young Master Su raised his eyebrows, and clicked his tongue twice: "This is what you said yourself, it has nothing to do with the two of us."

Xu Yunjin nodded in agreement: "I agree with Young Master Su, but don't rely on me and Young Master Su for everything."

Zhao Ershao was about to speak, but was interrupted by a knock on the door. Zhao Ershao asked what was the matter, but Shi Junji's voice sounded, his tone was very suppressed: "It's me."

Xu Yunjin frowned slightly, and subconsciously looked at Su Shao and the other four people, only to see that they all looked dazed, that's right, they had only met Shi Junji once, and they hadn't even spoken to each other. It's normal not to have Shi Junji's voice.

Su Shao glanced at Xu Yunjin, and knew that the person outside the door was known by Xu Yunjin, so he asked in a low voice, "Who is it?"

Xu Yunjin didn't look at Young Master Su, and said in a low voice, "Don't worry about it, after he comes in, you guys go first."

Liu Sanshao and the others looked at each other in blank dismay, and couldn't help but become more curious about the identity of the person.

Xu Yunjin ignored them and said directly, "Come in."

Shi Jun, who stepped into the door, had no expression on his face, his whole body was cold, he first looked around the room, and finally his eyes swept over everyone on the table, and finally stopped on Xu Yunjin: "Why are you in the Huancai Pavilion? "

Others didn't know what this meant, but Xu Yunjin understood it, and just sneered, "What? Do I have to get your permission to go anywhere?" Xu Yunjin wanted to say "Who do you think you are?", but in the end Still swallowed this sentence.
