Ning Gu

The oriole competes for spring, breaking the loneliness of the courtyard.

A few days ago, Xie Wuling got away from a party late at night and returned to the garden, he saw Xianzhi holding a ring pendant in the resting pavilion, fascinated.

When Xie Wuling approached, he glanced at a painting he had spread on the bank. In the painting, the figure was dim, and the lights were on and off. Xie Wuling didn't see it very clearly, and only joked: "Wang Sun is in a good mood today?"

"Not good." Xianzhi curled his lips sideways.

Xie Wuling went to Xianzhi's side, sat on the floor, took the ring from Xianzhi's hand, looked at it carefully, only saw the word "Xian" on the ring.

Xie Wuling pursed his lips, he was in a good mood, he didn't think too much about it, and asked directly: "What's wrong?"

Xianzhi was silent for a while with his son, then suddenly went into Xie Wuling's arms, using his legs as a pillow, lay down on his stomach, his shoulders trembling slightly.

Xie Wuling was startled by his actions, he hung his hands in the air for a while, then landed on Xianzhi's back, and patted him lightly.

Then Xianzhi muffled and choked up: "It was given by father before he left, and he said that every prince and grandson has it."

When Xie Wuling heard the words, gloom suddenly appeared in his eyes, even the moon was covered by floating clouds, and the garden was dark for a while.

"Hmm... miss your father?" Xie Wuling looked down at the top of Xianzhi's hair.There was a ripple in Xie Wuling's eyes, and a ripple in his heart.He knew that he missed that person too, especially.

Xianzhi lay on Xie Wuling's lap, thought for a while and then turned over, using Xie Wuling's leg as a pillow, found a comfortable position, and then responded.

"Yeah. Xianzhi has only seen Daddy for more than a year. When will Master take me to the northwest, I want to go...to see Daddy."

"Soon. It will be soon." Xie Wuling retracted his gaze, full of expectation.He also thought about it, wanted to stand in front of that person immediately, and wanted him to repeat the words "Today, you are the only one in Qingshan" in his ear.

"Up to three months."

After that day, Xie Wuling became really busy, and Xianzhi seldom saw him, only when he was going to give Xianzhi a speech, Xianzhi would see him in the garden.

This day, Tian Xianzhi had just returned from seeking advice from the master of the Lingjian Temple, when the little boy waiting in Mianfeng said that Xie Wuling was waiting for him.

He changed his outer shirt, went to Zhenyue to get the policy theory written last night, and then went to Fatan.

"Master!" When Xianzhi opened the door, Xie Wuling was writing a letter in the painting hall, he put down the pen and looked at the person coming.

Xian Zhi continued: "I see that young man from the Shen family is waiting outside the garden again, he will come after lunch in these three days, he is quite punctual."

"It's just right, it's dead." Xie Wuling looked sideways at the person leaning on the bookshelf beside him.

Ji Mu carefully closed the book in his hand, looked at Xie Wuling, and asked, "Huh?"

"Go to the old woman outside the garden to buy a few sips of tea for the young servant of the Shen family. It's hot, so I'm going to make things difficult for him." So he obeyed the order and left.

"Huh? Master isn't going to see Shen Changxie?" Xian Zhi was full of doubts.

"want."

"Oh." Xianzhi pursed his lips, pulled out the policy theory that Xie Wuling had arranged to write a few days ago from under his sleeve, and handed it flat to Xie Wuling's desk, "Then when will I go?"

Xie Wuling conveniently took the paperweight and pressed it on the policy theory, raised his eyes and asked: "In a while, did you hear about the question Shen Changxie asked?"

"I've heard a little bit about it," said Xian Zhiying, "You said you're asking Fufeng Jinwan two places?"

"Hmm. Do you have an answer?"

"If you only answer one word, Xianzhi...hasn't thought about it yet." Xianzhi said softly.

"Then think about it, don't you want to help that boy?" Xie Wuling thought about Xianzhi's caution in a neutral manner, and then deliberately joked, "When you figure it out, I'll go look for that boy Shen Changxie .”

"The sun is poisonous this afternoon, I'm afraid others will say something wrong with Master, so how can I help that person?" Xianzhi muttered softly.

The muttering sound was not too small, and it fell into Xie Wuling's ears without saying a single word. He got up and walked around the table, wanting to get his coat, passing by Xianzhi, and pretending to give him a ungrateful glance, He urged: "Think quickly."

Hearing the sound, Xianzhi was silent, and thought about it seriously.

Xie Wuling was not far behind him, he took off the burqa he wore when he practiced calligraphy and letters, and changed into a new shirt, the hem of the new shirt was painted with ink bamboo, which was drawn by Xie Wuling that day.Hair tied with jade crowns and spring shirts with bamboo shadows are all elegant.

Rao Xianzhi took a sneak peek, and he was also envious. He thought to himself, this kind of clothes with loose clothes and self-contained appearance is what his master should look like. The heavy court clothes are real. Locked up his stuff.

"Xianzhi, have you figured it out yet?" Xie Wuling turned around to adjust his clothes, just bumping into Xianzhi's dazed appearance, so he asked warmly.

"I've thought about it, but..." Xianzhi approached with two steps, pulled Xie Wuling's sleeve, and said coquettishly, "Brother beauty, take me to the Accord too."

Xie Wuling frowned suddenly: "What are you going to do in that kind of place?"

"Which place?" Xianzhi pretended not to understand, and said softly, "Brother beauty, Xianzhi just wants to meet this first-class elegant guest in Fufeng." He added in a low voice, "Anyway, Dad is not here. "After finishing speaking, he blinked at Xie Wuling.

The last time Xie Wuling saw him looking like a rascal was when he came to his room arguing at night because he didn't want to sleep alone.

This appearance naturally made Xie Wuling's soft heart stretch out.Xie Wuling sighed, and said helplessly, "Tell me the answer."

Seeing this, Xianzhi was overjoyed.This is how Xie Wuling compromised. Like the first time he saw Xie Wuling, he grabbed Xie Wuling's wrist along his sleeve, let him spread his palm, and wrote a word on his palm.

Then he looked at Xie Wuling with a full face, with a little expectation in his heart.

"Hu?" Xie Wuling frowned slightly, but he opened it again in a moment, he looked at the person in front of him seriously, and a new speculation came to his mind, "Why is it this word?"

"Where there are ten thousand taels of gold, it must first be Chongque. The thousand taels of gold and silver in Chongque come from the taxes paid by thousands of households. Therefore, where there are thousands of households, there will always be ten thousand taels of gold. Hmm... "Xianzhi raised his eyebrows, his face was full of complacency.

Xie Wuling glanced at him, led him outside, and asked, "What else? I've been studying with Fengxiang all day, and I've learned to speak half-Zang half?"

"There's no such thing as chaotic learning, it's because of Xianzhi's opportunism, and I'm ashamed to say it." Xianzhi's mouth is humble, but his expression is not humble, his smile is brighter than today's spring day in the sky, "Master went to see Shen Changxie, half of this question must belong to master, master is the household department, and the household department is in charge of the people's taxes and labor, so..."

"So make good use of your opportunism, if you vote correctly today, you may not be sure next time." Xie Wuling looked down at the little man beside him, and said, "Clever is easily called clever and wrong."

But he didn't want to use these words on Xie Wuling himself in the end, it would be the most practical.

Deep in the Lane of Fireworks, above the Yage Pavilion, Shu Kuang entered the veil, Xianzhi followed Xie Wuling around Jinping, raised the veil slightly, and took a look inside.

Shen Changxie leaned on the square couch under the window sill, looking at the book by the skylight.Xie Wuling stepped forward and threw a book slip brought from the garden into his arms.

"Return it in five days, Zhaoxing only has this one."

Shen Changxie was smashed on the chest by the letter, it hurt so much, after all, it was the cultivation of the aristocratic family, and he didn't say any foul words, if he threw it at Qi Zhisheng's place, I'm afraid Xie Wuling would be kicked out immediately.

Shen Changxie closed the booklet in his hand and put it away, then unfolded the slips thrown by Xie Wuling, browsed through them roughly, and bargained: "Five days will definitely not be enough."

"Five days should be enough for Shen Linglin to imitate again."

Shen Changxie pursed his lips, and resentfully put the letter on a piece of cloth and put it under the pillow, cherishing it very much.After doing all this, he took a look at the emperor's grandson who followed Xie Wuling.

After staying at the bed, he walked barefoot to Xie Wuling's side without hesitation, and sat on the floor with Xie Wuling.Sit down and turned around, enough for the teacup behind him, poured a bowl for Xie Wuling, and said: "Why are you willing to bring the little Huangsun here today?"

Xie Wuling sipped the tea, the taste of the tea was so bitter that he frowned, it was still cold tea, obviously Shen Changxie did it on purpose.Xie Wuling swallowed the bitterness, didn't care about anything, just returned the teacup to its original place, waved to Xianzhi who was at a loss a few steps away, and said: "Here to give you the answer. Don't deceive Zhao Congshan that he is not in Fufeng. He This son is even worse than his father." As Xie Wuling spoke, he said deliberately, "Shen Ling, you bastard, why don't you ask for courtesy?"

Shen Changxie twitched his lips helplessly and cupped his hands, and made a false bow: "Yes, yes, Shen Changxie has seen the little emperor's grandson."

Seeing his master winking at him, Xian Zhi immediately straightened his back, acted arrogantly, and nodded in response: "En."

Xie Wuling couldn't help laughing, eyebrows raised.Seeing this, Shen Changxie gave him a gouged look, and then said seriously: "The candidate has been chosen? I really won't change it this time."

Xie Wuling signaled Xianzhi to sit beside him, and replied: "En."

"Who is it, Master?"

"Tian Juxi. The head of the sixth-rank household department, Tian Liu's cousin. What are you doing asking so many questions?" Shen Changxie muttered, and then got up to fetch the card box that contained the answer, and put it all together again. The sign fell in front of the two people sitting around: "Here, come and look for it."

The three of them looked for the one with Tian Juxi's name engraved on it among a pile of wooden signs, and Shen Changxie talked a lot: "I heard that this person loves painting very much. Is it true that this fish is easier to catch than Tian Liu?"

"Painting is half of it. It can make him willing to take the bait, and it's half. Tian Liu is in the position of minister, and some things are clearer than his younger brother. Moreover, Tian Juxi is under the pressure of him. If you give him some bait, it will be easy to recognize People." Xie Wuling took out the fish from the wooden sign, looked at the word "Min" engraved on the back, sighed, and said, "It's a pity."

He changed hands and handed the wooden sign to Shen Changxie, so that he could take the time to say: "It's up to you next, Shen Lang."

Shen Changxie called the lady who was waiting outside, and took out two wooden plaques, one was engraved with Xie Wuling, and the other was engraved with Tian Jiuxi.Handed it to her eyes, and asked her to pass it on to others, she looked at Xie Wuling who was sitting in the room.Suddenly, he seemed to understand something again, so he raised his voice to call for others.

The news in Fireworks Lane is always the fastest to spread. After a while, half of Fufeng knew the mystery of Ya Ge after the banquet, and only two people answered correctly.In the afternoon of the third day, the two asked Shen Changxie to invite him to Yage as a guest.

Xie Wuling's step-by-step chess game kicked off, and Zhao Zuo's Northwest drama was also in full swing to catch up.

Zhao Zuo sent Zhao Zuo to keep an eye on Ye Yuyu after the dark man Zhaoxing left by Xie Wuling was ordered to explore the land but found nothing.But before the man found anything from Ye Yuyu, Ye Fuzhou invited Zhao Zuo to inspect the barracks.

Zhao Zuo naturally had no choice but to refuse.This barracks not only has to go down, but also to establish its prestige, and it has to hold the northwest garrison in its own hands.Otherwise, Xie Wuling's request for the position of Guzang Lord would be in vain.

Ye Fuzhou specially asked someone to find a horse for Zhao Zuo today. He said that it was brought back by an old horse that Ye Qiaoyu had raised for many years. It was supposed to be a wild horse, but it was extremely handsome and had a docile temperament. If he hurt someone, he was left in the stable of the general's mansion.

A few days ago, Ye Jianyu was very precious and refused to be ridden by others. Today, Ye Fuzhou said that it was for the Lord Guzang, so he had to take it out.

When Zhao Zuo approached, the horse whistled lightly, and snorted a few times as if it welcomed him very much.When Zhao Zuo got on his horse, the horse tended to run away.Zhao Zuo quickly reined in the horse, calmed down the horse, and then went to the barracks with Ye Fuzhou.

The Northwest is not surrounded by deep forests like the northern part of the Great Wall. The yellow sand is long, the camps are isolated, and the wind and smoke all properly interpret a kind of desolation.

The sun shines in the desert with a golden light, and there is only one person in the sky, and the only thing that can hide the camp well in this magnificence is the yellow sand and the mounds.

Zhao Zuo and Ye Fuzhou rode their horses on the Guanzhi Road where the yellow sand had never passed. Since there were only a few scattered stone houses in the surrounding area except for the distant hills of the yellow sand, the doors and windows were closed tightly to prevent the wind and sand. There are even fewer pedestrians on the road.Occasionally, one or two swordsmen whipped their horses and passed by them.

Also because of the small number of people, after Ye Fuzhou and Zhao Zuo left the city gate, they let their horses indulge and galloped freely.Zhao Zuo didn't know the way like Ye Fuzhou, so he only had fun and didn't fight for it, and he was always behind Ye Fuzhou's war horse.

But suddenly a figure ran out from the side road, knelt down and got off the horse. Zhao Zuo immediately reined in the horse.

Ye Fuzhou could barely rein in the horse, so he asked the unkempt man under the horse sharply: "Who is blocking the way?"

"Please...please...Master Guan, help me!" The man kowtowed repeatedly, but his voice was as thin as a lady's, but his body was dirty and his face was covered with sand.

Even Shen Changyu, who followed Zhao Zuo, sized up the men under his horse, and frowned.And if Zhao Zuo hadn't been to Luzuo once or twice with Xie Wuling and Xianzhi, it would be Shen Changyu's expression now.

Behind Ye Fuzhou, a man in an official uniform came forward on his horse and said softly, "Your official thought that he might be a refugee from the Hu land. Master Guzang, General Ye, you don't need to worry about it. Since the old General Ye After being ill, there are people blocking the way every time on the road between officials and officials, and they look so pitiful on the surface, but in fact they have ulterior motives, they just want to ask for money."

Zhao Zuo held the reins in his hands, bit his lips, and thought, "Hudi refugees?" He turned his head to look at Ye Fuzhou, who also turned his head to him, shook his head hastily, and then looked away.

"Then let's reward some money." Zhao Zuo raised his hand to shake the rein, paused, and kicked the horse standing beside him quietly.

The horse belonged to Shen Changyu, and when Zhao Zuo kicked it, the horse moved, before Shen Changyu's confusion was resolved, Zhao Zuo pretended to be innocent and said, "Changyu, are you kind again? Well...besides the money, the most you can do is treat someone to a bowl of tea, and you should come sooner."

Shen Changyu was named by Zhao Zuo, his eyes were full of disgust towards Zhao Zuo, what kind of kindness did he have in his heart, and he still invited people to have tea?Drink tea with sand.

He met Zhao Zuo's smiling eyes, and just wanted to draw his sword to fight him, but seeing Zhao Zuo raised his eyebrows again, and moved his mouth, the mouth shape seemed to be the word "save".

He reluctantly imitated the appearance of the old bald donkeys in Fufeng Buddhist Temple, and said in cooperation: "Good and evil are rewarded, and a bowl of tea is a bowl of tea."

As he spoke, he led the horse forward, and said to the disheveled lady: "My lady, please follow me."

Hearing this, Zhao Zuo tilted his head, and Senhan's gaze passed Ye Fuzhou and landed on the man in official uniform beside Ye Fuzhou.The stern look in his gaze made the man withdraw from his inquiry, wanting to refute Zhao Zuo's determined gaze.

Only then did Zhao Zuo say to Ye Fuzhou: "General Ye, please."

Ye Fuzhou raised his eyebrows when he heard the words, and the corners of his mouth were slightly hooked. He shook the reins and beat the horse away from the barracks.
