Dress to be a celebrity

When Song Shi got the imperial reward and went back, the house was naturally lively again.

In several lifetimes of their family, there was only one son who had seen Tianyan, and it was the first time he was awarded by the sage, and the second brother Song was so happy that he took out ingots of silver on the spot to order the servant who sent his younger brother back, and arranged for the family restaurant to buy good wine. dishes, invite neighbors and friends in Beijing to have wine.

Brother Song put his younger brother's things on the table with both hands, and personally lit incense candles in front of the table. He didn't forget to remind: "Shiguan, please go and invite your third brother Huan here in person. Our family is not so ungrateful. A righteous family, you have received this reward because of his merits."

Huan Ling hasn't been to their house for some time.

He added another sentence: "Maybe they are all busy with the court. Take a look at the situation and don't disturb his official business."

Song Shi promised that he agreed, but he felt a little uneasy in his heart. He didn't know how to get along with the little brother... and he didn't come to their house these days, and he felt embarrassed after confessing.

The scene of that day suddenly popped up in Song Shi's mind, he subconsciously rubbed his fingers, turned around and walked out.His second elder brother just came back from the courtyard and saw him walking out absent-mindedly, so he grabbed him and asked, "Where are you going? First tell your ancestors the good news that you have been rewarded by the Holy Majesty before leaving."

Only then did Song Shi come to his senses, and followed his elder brothers to report to his ancestors before the case, and then went to change the clothes for going out, took the newly made Hanlin editorial post, and went to the gate of the Metropolitan Procuratorate to find someone.

The policeman on duty outside the door knew his name, took the initiative to pass the message on his behalf, and led him into the duty room for tea.Not long after, Huan Ling followed the man out in a hurry, and when he saw him, he showed a little smile, and asked gently, "Excuse me for being late. Brother Song came to look for me, is there something important?"

He seemed to be the same as usual, but his body was a bit stiff when he crossed the threshold and sat down, and his eyes were even brighter, with expectations that were hard to hide.

Song Shi found sadly that his brother's filter could no longer be worn, and he could tell his intentions at a glance... After seeing it, he felt a little happy.

Is this the reaction a straight man should have?

He couldn't help sighing heavily in his heart, he took up his teacup and dipped his lips in a concealed manner, watched the guard who led the way go down and said: "It's nothing serious, it's just that I was called into the palace by the Holy One to demonstrate the mimeograph method, and I got some rewards. I invite my brother to have a light meal in the evening."

Huan Ling said pleasantly: "Good! Good! Such a big event should be celebrated. I'll go and ask Mr. Zong Xian for a leave of absence, and I'll go back with you!"

He stood up and was about to leave, but Song Shi was more concerned about his career than he was, so he hurriedly stopped him: "I don't have dinner until evening, you should be on duty first, don't let the chief constitution, vice constitution and your colleagues in the courtyard look at you Asking for leave for such a small matter—"

As he spoke, his voice lowered a little, and he persuaded: "You just asked me to let you know about me and our family, and you finally came back, so you have to behave well."

Huan Ling just stood up to leave, when he heard this, he turned his head and took a deep look at him, and sighed: "When I heard this, I remembered what you said about me when I first arrived in Fujian. Since then, the only With you, I have never changed...It's a pity that people are not enough, I have to look forward to Shu, and I always want you to change again."

He bowed his waist as he spoke, getting closer and closer to the person.

Song Shi's heart beat several times in a row, his right hand was clenched tightly on the armrest of the official chair, his fingertips turned white from the pain, and there was only one thought in his mind——

Don't they all say that ancient people are old-fashioned? How can he be so flirtatious as an ancient person?

It's all about the era of traveling through the Taizu's era, and the atmosphere is not good!

He habitually pushed the problem to the society, and stared at Huan's gradually enlarged face with his lips tightly pressed.Fortunately, under the blue sky and in the Metropolitan Procuratorate, he didn't overdo it, he just said a few words and straightened up again.

Song Shi suppressed his breath, and only half a day later spit out the breath in his chest thinly and inconspicuously, and said as calmly as he could: "I've been bothering senior brother for a long time, I'm going back to get ready." We want to invite some friends to the house, there are so many people, it’s okay if senior brother is willing to bring people!”

Don't keep pulling the curtain like last time, just close the door and dare to confess your love to him!

Huan Ling naturally understood the meaning behind the words, responded with a smile, and teased him in a low voice: "Brother Yu is still young, and his hearing is not bad, so he can hear what you say clearly, so don't speak so hard... Seeing that your face is so tired... famous."

Song Shi didn't blush at all, and he must have been blush by what he said. Staring at him for luck, he finally discovered the New World. He pointed at his faintly red ears and said, "Senior brother, talking for a long time is exhausting enough. Look at your tired ears are red."

...Fortunately, they told the concierge in advance not to disturb, otherwise, if someone came in and heard the conversation between their seniors and brothers, they would have to report to the imperial court for cheating in these two exams.

Song Shiren left in a hurry until his face was not hot, and Huan Ling went back to Keli to look up the old soldier's newspaper. Before leaving the office at night, he found the palm print of the undergraduate to borrow a horse for Mr. Zhang in the matter.

Zhang Jishi was surprised and said: "Your family has a car to pick you up, why did you like my old horse?"

Huan Ling said calmly: "Junior Brother Song invited me over to the house today. I heard that his house has invited other guests, so the front door must be very crowded. If I go by car, won't I be blocked on the street? It's better to ride a horse. "

But this carriage must not be wasted.

He led Mr. Zhang's horse and walked with him to the door. Seeing the family's carriages and horses parked in front of the street, he led Mr. Zhang over and said, "Send Mr. Zhang home. I'm going to Song's house tonight." Go to the appointment, you can speak to my grandfather on my behalf."

The coachman hurriedly shouted: "Third Master, the old master sent a young man to pick you up..."

Before he could finish speaking, Huan Ling turned his horse's head and galloped off into the depths of the long street.The coachman wanted to catch up with him, but he didn't dare to leave the old man in front of him alone, so he had to send Zhang Zizhong home first, and then go back and report the matter to the steward.

The third master found the horse from nowhere, and even threw a boss to ask him to give it to him, even if he was a servant, he couldn't control him.

After hearing the steward's report, Huan Shilang snorted coldly and waved his hands: "Forget it, he has big ideas, even I can't control him, let alone a coachman!"

But he couldn't send someone to call Huan Ling back, so he asked someone to light candles in the courtyard and wait for him to go home.

It wasn't until after the second watch that Huan Ling came back with a bolt of Big Red Lake silk satin between his legs.As soon as he entered the house, he saw that the house was brightly lit. The housekeeper Huan Zhifu stepped forward and said: "The old man has something on his mind today. Third Lord Huan should pay a gift first when he enters. Don't make the old man angry."

Huan Ling nodded, and walked towards the main courtyard with the silk under his arms. Zhifu wanted to hold it for him, but he shook his head and said, "This is a gift from the palace. I will show my sincerity by holding it myself."

This combination was one of the rewards received from the palace in the Song Dynasty.

Before he got home with the things, he arranged for whoever should give these things: the official robe for himself; The sisters-in-law made clothes separately; the two elder brothers each had a golden flower as a souvenir;

His elder brothers were embarrassed to ask for his things, but he insisted on dividing them up, so as to make the family happy with the royal family. The two elder brothers couldn't do it better, so they took the golden flowers and discussed giving Huan Ling a share of the work. Thank you.

So in the evening he had a banquet, and when he was about to go home, Song Xiao picked out the best piece of silk and gave it to him personally, thanking him for taking care of the Song family father and son, teaching Song Shi to study, and helping him hold seminars in Fujian these years... …

He said drunkenly: "You are the son of Ge Lao Mansion. It is not rare to have seen a lot of things in the palace. But the silk and satin bestowed by the gods is a rare treasure in my family. Only by giving this thing to you can I ignore it." Express your heart."

Although the imperial wine was good, Huan Ling often went in and out of their house, and would drink it at the family banquet, so this silk satin was more suitable as a thank you gift.

Song Shi originally wanted to pick out a piece of blue satin for him, but in the past two years, the clothes of famous scholars in Suzhou have been popular in Beijing. The most fashionable are bright red and purple clothes.

The two elder brothers decided to choose thick and straight scarlet silk for him.

When Huan Ling came to the hall with the red silk under his arm, his grandfather naturally didn't like it and told him to throw away the things the Song family had brought.Holding the silk with both hands, he said with a smile: "This is a gift from the emperor, how can you be disrespectful? Grandfather please wait a moment, grandson will come to receive the punishment after collecting the silk and satin."

What are silk and satin, what are gifts from the palace, do they get less from the Huan family?Couldn't Princess Zhou give it away!

Huan Shilang said angrily: "What crime did my Huan family do? You child is only thinking of a man. A piece of palace satin is a good thing! Don't even think about it. If someone knows that you like to retreat Sister-in-law, how should our family behave, will your sister be criticized in the palace?"

Originally, Princess Huan's situation was difficult enough, if her brother had any "good stories" with her ex-fiancé, wouldn't she be ridiculed?

The last time the eldest daughter-in-law came to the palace, Princess Huan complained for a long time in front of her, saying that Zhou Wang was very interested in Song Shi, and wanted to take the opportunity of the Huan family to summon Song Shi.When her ex-fiancé met her husband, she felt ashamed just thinking about it, and there was no one in the deep palace to talk to, so she was depressed every day.

Huan Shilang kept scolding him, Huan Ling just hugged the silk and listened quietly, and smiled softly when he was tired of scolding: "Grandfather, don't worry, Shi Guaner hasn't promised me anything, I didn't intend to tell outsiders about it." I will go to Yuanniang to ask my aunt to persuade her. Now that she has fulfilled her wish and become a princess, she should fulfill her role as a princess and put the king of Zhou first. The marriage between Shi Guaner and her has long since ended, and Yuanniang should not do it again. Thinking about him."

The next day, he went to the inner courtyard to see his aunt, and asked her to enter the palace to relieve his sister's concerns; on the other hand, Song Shi also secretly found the senior Scholar Zhao without someone behind his back, and asked him about relationship issues.

Why do the youths with broken sleeves in this dynasty like men?

Zhao Shusheng looked at him with eyes that were almost shocked: "Brother Song is never a masculine man, why now... Which one did you fall in love with..."

Could it be that the male prostitutes in Beijing are better than those in Fujian?

No way, he has heard that there are male prostitutes in the suburbs of Beijing doing business with half-closed doors, but they are not as stunning as Shaosheng in those days, nor are they good at singing like a young lady in Suzhou. flat ah.

Song Shi said solemnly: "Brother Zhao is too worried. I just feel that the world is like this. I ask you why ordinary people like it. You don't have the idea of ​​​​taking over anyone. You don't have to be suspicious. Why should I lie to you? Prostitutes are all good stories, and the wind in the south does not diminish the Southern Song Dynasty, is it possible that I have a few male prostitutes in my family and I still can’t talk about it?"
