The official road of the farmer

In the quaint study room, there was silence.

Cigarettes are lingering from the stove on the delicately carved wood shelf in the right corner.

Ming Pengzhan stood in front of the desk, with his left hand on his sleeve, and raised his pen to write.

The weak and boneless hair tips fell, and each character with a strong character appeared vividly on the paper.

Wherever he looked, his expression was focused, as if he was immersed in his own world, and he didn't hear anything outside the window.

Under the desk, Ye Junshu bowed slightly, maintained a salute posture, and stood there motionless.

Ever since Ye Junshu entered the study, he has been like this, being left out in the cold and ignored by others.

Thinking about Ye Junshu's actions these past few days, they were dissatisfied.No, he was given sticks one after another from the very beginning.

At this moment, he should be given a cold treatment first, and then give him a handful of sweet dates to beat him well.

If he is sensible, then this matter will be exposed, otherwise...

Ye Junshu is very familiar with the routines of the superiors, he has already prepared, so naturally he will not feel difficult.

He guessed that with Ming Pengzhan's temperament, he wouldn't tell him directly, at most he would insinuate.There is no need to worry too much at the moment, just deal with it carefully.

After Ming Pengzhan finished writing, he put the pen on the pen holder, carefully picked up the memorial that he had just written, and waited for the paper on it to dry completely before closing it and putting it aside.

He seemed to have noticed Ye Junshu at this time, with a look of surprise on his face, and then said: "Editor Ye is here? Look at me, I was so focused on writing the memorial that I didn't notice when you arrived? You should call me when you come. One sound."

Regardless of whether Ye Jun believed in the letter or not, at least on the surface he believed it, and he saluted again, "I have met the master."

This time Ming Pengzhan immediately asked Ye Junshu to excuse him, and then he continued to talk about the matter. Ye Junshu naturally said that he should wait, and that the adult's business is more important, and he should not be disturbed.

Ming Pengzhan said that he had seen someone else, and then talked to him in a very friendly and natural manner.

He also asked him about Jinjiang's situation, and Ye Junshu picked up what could be said, and told Ming Pengzhan about everything.

He sighed and said: "With your help, the suffering people in Jinjiang survived the cold winter safely. The eldest prince remembers the people of Jinjiang, so he can't sleep all day long. He can't sleep well until he knows that they are safe and sound."

Ye Junshu complimented: "The eldest prince cares about the common people and worries about the people's worries. It is indeed the great fortune of Great Xia. Your Majesty will definitely be proud of the eldest prince."

Ming Pengzhan smiled, "If the eldest prince knows that you have such a high opinion of him, he must be very happy, but he often tells us that his aptitude is dull, and he knows that he is not as good as others in many aspects, so he should ask for advice and learn with an open mind."

"The eldest prince is humble."

……

Turning around the topic of the eldest prince, Ming Pengzhan cast his eyes on Ye Junshu, and said jokingly, "Zizhou, how is your family doing recently? I heard people complaining that it has become more and more difficult to invite people recently. It's a joke that you stay at home like a brother and don't go out."

Ye Junshu said with a smile: "Your Excellency, you are joking. This is the first time that an official has been away from home for such a long time. It is rare to have a vacation. Naturally, I want to stay at home."

"It's true that I have been away from home for too long, and I wish I could stay at home all the time and spend time with my children."

Ming Pengzhan agreed, and said in the next moment, "However, a man can't just hang around his family. You should attend gatherings where you should cultivate your relationship. If you are too out of the crowd, it is not good for your future development. We are so Isn’t struggle just to make your family’s life better?”

Ming Pengzhan said meaningfully: "It would be a pity if some good opportunities for promotion were missed because of a small incident."

Ye Junshu agreed very much, and said sincerely, "My lord is right."

Ming Pengzhan stepped forward and patted Ye Junshu on the shoulder, "Zizhou, the eldest prince knows that you have made great achievements, and is very happy for you. He specially held a banquet in Quanyage to celebrate you. When the value is over, let's have a good time." Have a few drinks."

Ye Junshu said respectfully: "I thank the eldest prince and lord for their kindness. It's just that I have promised my family that I will go home on time to accompany them. I'm afraid I will let down the kindness of the first prince and lord."

Ming Pengzhan's eyes were slightly cold, but his tone was gentle, "It's not about going home for a while, the First Prince specially hosted a banquet for you, isn't it too good if you don't go? I will mention it to the First Prince so that you can go back sooner." of."

"Thank you sir for your compassion." Ye Junshu still resolutely refused, "I hope my lord will decline for the sake of this official, because it is inconvenient for me to pass by." No matter what Ming Pengzhan said, Ye Junshu never let go.

Ming Pengzhan stared at Ye Junshu for a while, Ye Junshu's face was still full of embarrassment, but his attitude was very firm.

After Ming Pengzhan turned around and returned to the desk, "I heard that Editor Ye seems to be getting very close to Mr. Li San recently?"

Ye Junshu's answer was ambiguous: "We had a little overlap in Jinjiang." He didn't say whether their relationship is good or not.

Among the accompanying officials were the eyes and ears of the Ming family.

Ye Junshu and Li Yu are very careful in their actions, but those who are interested can definitely see some clues, but they are not sure.

If I think about it, I have already reported it to the First Prince and Ming Pengzhan in private.

Now the temptation is just to confirm the thoughts in my heart.

Ming Pengzhan and the others had put so much thought into Ye Junshu, so they were naturally unwilling to hand him over to the enemy.

It's not completely torn apart now, but I still want to win him over.

But when you think about it, you know that no one in the upper class likes someone who is vacillating. If Ye Junshu regrets it in the future and returns to the Ming family, he will not be reused, but will be discarded.

It was Ye Junshu who had just expressed his intention not to be with them, and they would not give up so soon.

In the future, Ye Junshu's life will become more and more difficult, and there will definitely be no shortage of threats and temptations.

Ye Junshu chose the difficult mode by himself, or he turned the easy mode into the hard mode. No matter how much bitterness there is, he can only swallow it himself.

Ming Pengzhan stared fixedly at Ye Junshu, "Since it's inconvenient for Ye to edit, then forget it."

"You have just come back, so you must be unaccustomed to it. Your previous work was handed over to others, and it is hard to get half of it back. You can just relax and serve the court better in the future."

Ye Junshu cupped his hands and said, "Yes."

Ming Pengzhan didn't want to say any more, so he waved him out.

Ye Junshu turned around and went out, heaving a sigh of relief.

If he didn't think of using the other party to achieve himself at the beginning, but instead refused, even if he was suppressed, he would still be able to find a way out.

Now that he wants to get away and leave, the other party is even less likely to agree easily.

Now it's just a disguised form to take him out of the air, starting from the official career, hoping to see the day when he bows his head.

Ye Junshu can only say that he is not afraid of the pressure from the officialdom, but he is afraid of driving them into a hurry and threatening him with the family he cares about.

In order not to involve his family members, Ye Junshu had to consider his attitude.

At least start the tug of war before there is a chance to stand up.

But if Ye Junshu wants to form a bond with Ah Yu this year, he has to completely cut off his connection with the Ming family.

Ye Junshu returned to his seat and sat for a while.

He looked around, and his colleagues were all immersed in their own work, and no one paid him any attention.

Ye Junshu got up and walked to the library.

Anyway, nothing to do, he went to read a book.

He hasn't finished reading such a rich collection of books!

Ye Junshu found the book he wanted to read, and was looking for a place to sit down and read it quietly.

Unexpectedly, Deng Hongyuan found him.

When he saw Ye Junshu, it was rare that he didn't have a complacent and flaunting face, and he said straight to the point: "Ye Junshu, I thought you were a smart person, but I didn't expect you to be so stupid. I, who have always regarded you as an opponent, are really overestimating." is you."

Another opponent?Ye Junshu thought helplessly, what is it about him that deserves to be regarded as an opponent by others?

Ye Junshu didn't speak.

Deng Hongyuan didn't care whether Ye Junshu responded, he continued: "The First Prince's prestige among the people is unprecedentedly high, he is very satisfied with me, and soon, I will be promoted as an exception.

Although your credit is not as good as mine, but I have to admit that the First Prince values ​​you more, and I think you will be promoted because of it.

I didn't expect you to be so arrogant because of your favor, and you even flirted with the eldest prince and the others. Do you really think that you are so important?Now that you have been taught such a lesson, how do you feel? "After Deng Hongyuan came back, the eldest prince paid him a lot of attention. He was so happy, and he wanted Ye Junshu to see that he, Deng Hongyuan, did as well as anyone else.

Ye Junshu's inaction in Jinjiang, and getting close to the Li family whom the First Prince hates, has already made the First Prince very displeased, and he unexpectedly rejected the First Prince's invitation!

Deng Hongyuan didn't expect that Ye Junshu would do this again. His first thought was, did not expect Ye Junshu to be more swollen than him, and he flung his face at his master just after he got out of the limelight?

However, when he saw Ye Junshu himself, he found that this was not the case.

Deng Hongyuan pondered for a long time by himself before he came up with a shocking idea. Is Ye Junshu trying to get away from the First Prince? !

Ye Junshu frowned, and said calmly: "Lord Deng, I don't quite understand what you mean. Whoever gets promoted and nominated, that is His Majesty's meaning. He is the master of the world. You said that the eldest prince can promote whoever he wants. Anyone who is asked to be demoted will be demoted, if word spreads, even the First Prince will not easily let you go."

Thinking of the consequences of his words being spread, Deng Hongyuan's face suddenly changed, and he turned to look around.

The place Ye Junshu was looking for was relatively remote, few people came, and there were only the two of them here, so he had nothing to fear.

Deng Hongyuan smiled coldly, "The Eldest Prince is the eldest son of His Majesty, the son of a noble concubine. He is noble, wise and courageous, kind-hearted, and approachable. To have such a good master is a blessing that many people can't ask for. The Eldest Prince will give you his heart and soul." , but you treat the eldest prince like this, Ye Junshu, I really look down on you!"

Deng Hongyuan sincerely felt wronged for the eldest prince.

He climbed to the position of the First Prince earlier than Ye Junshu, but the First Prince has always valued him more than himself.

Deng Hongyuan has been feeling dissatisfied for a long time because of this, so he tried his best to express it.

Unexpectedly, in the end, Ye Junshu would turn his back on the First Prince!

Ye Junshu smiled slightly, he didn't care about Deng Hongyuan's accusation at all, he said lightly: "Differences in Taoism do not conspire with each other."

Deng Hongyuan didn't believe it, "Then why didn't you refuse the eldest prince's invitation at the beginning?"

Ye Junshu tilted his head, "Everyone makes mistakes."

Deng Hongyuan sneered, and he straightened his sleeves, "Ye Junshu, just watch, I will rise up step by step, and eventually become an important minister of the court, but you will stay in the Imperial Academy forever, as a small editor, and never get ahead day."

Ye Junshu said casually, "I'll wait."

Deng Hongyuan snorted coldly, shook his sleeves and left.

Ye Junshu lowered his head, opened the book, well, he can finally come down to read in peace.

Ye Junshu spent his days leisurely like this, as if he had nothing to do when he first came to the Imperial Academy.

His mentality is not bad, not depressed.

He self-regulates, and he has the right to treat himself as a holiday.

After waiting for the bulk value, go home in a carriage.

This time, no one stopped him. The eldest prince insisted on his identity, and he refused again and again. He would definitely not take the initiative to come to him again. Ye Junshu was happy to hear about this.

The horse rattled along the road, and the wheels turned in circles.

Ye Junshu lay lazily on the cushion, eating snacks made by brother Lu from time to time to cushion his stomach.

I don't know what's going on with Ayu?

They haven't seen each other since returning to Beijing.

Ye Junshu scratched his head and thought, not knowing where to find someone.

Ah Yu has to deal with his own affairs, Emperor Tai'an has a job to do, there is also the barracks, and the Queen Marshal Li...

Ye Junshu thought about it, why not go straight to the cloth shop and ask the shopkeeper next door to deliver a letter?

Apart from asking Ah Yu to take the initiative to look for him, this is the only way.

only……

Ye Junshu looked at the sky outside. It was just the beginning of early spring, and the tail of winter was still hanging. The sky was still getting dark quickly, and the shops closed early. It is estimated that by the time he got there, people would have left.

Ye Junshu sighed quietly. He didn't know when their relationship would be cleared up. He really wanted to announce it now, but considering his own situation.

Have to take it easy.

Ye Junshu lay back lazily, thinking about Ah Yu quietly in his mind, when suddenly the driver exclaimed in front of the car door, "Who are you?"

Ye Junshu's expression froze, and he sat up straight in an instant, feeling the pressure of the still-moving carriage, and it was obvious that someone had gotten into the carriage.

He was worried about the situation, and was about to go out when the car door was opened.

A slender figure stooped in.

Ye Junshu was taken aback for a moment, and the guard that was raised all over his body suddenly relaxed, showing a big surprised smile: "Ah Yu!"

The person who came was Ah Yu, whom he had been thinking about day and night, and who was still on his mind!

The coachman was anxious and fearful, ready to protect his master at any time, when he heard that the masked man who came uninvited was someone his master knew, he was stunned.

Ye Junshu subconsciously wanted to get closer, but when he saw Li Yu coming in, he resisted the urge to rush forward and made room for Ah Yu to come in.

Ye Junshu took a good look at Li Yu, and it took a while to notice the third person, and said, "This is my friend, you can just keep driving, don't worry about other things."

"Yes." The groom replied, and quietly glanced at Li Yu, and then Ye Junshu closed the car door, forming a closed space.

Ye Junshu sat next to Li Yu, took his hand, held it tightly, and said softly, "Ah Yu, have you finished your work?"

Li Yu responded.

It took him three days to arrange everything. He didn't need to go to the barracks during this time. He handed over all matters to General Liao and his son.

Since Li Yu decided to develop with Ye Junshu, he naturally had to take the initiative. He got along with Ye Junshu very relaxed and happy some time ago, thinking that he hadn't seen each other for several days, so he came here.

I have to say that he still misses Ye Junshu a little these days.

Li Yu doesn't know if this is called liking, it's a strange feeling, but he doesn't reject it.

Seeing someone at this time, Li Yu's heart instantly calmed down, feeling at ease.

"How are you going to work today?" Li Yu kept paying attention to Ye Junshu, and naturally got the news that he was left out in the cold.

He wondered uncertainly, should he be comforting at this time?

Ye Junshu didn't want Ah Yu to be bothered. Although he knew that he was very well informed and might know, he didn't want to say it himself, otherwise he would appear incompetent.

He smiled faintly and said vaguely, "That's it."

Li Yu frowned slightly, shouldn't he be honest at this time?

When Ye Junshu saw this, he might have misunderstood it, so he said, "Don't worry, Ayu, I know what's going on in my heart, everything is not out of my control, I'll be fine."

Li Yu had no choice but to say, "If you need anything, just come to me."

"I won't be polite to you." Ye Junshu played with Li Yu's hand, thinking of something, then looked at Li Yu and said, "I really have something to ask for your help."

Li Yu looked at him steadily and motioned for him to continue.

"I have repeatedly refuted the face of the First Prince and the Ming family, and I will definitely be credited. If it is only against me, I can handle it, but if they take revenge on my family..."

There are a bunch of young people in his family who have no power to resist, Ye Junshu doesn't want them to be hurt.

Li Yu also thought of this question, and he immediately became serious, "Don't worry, I will send someone to protect the children secretly."

Ye Junshu hummed, looked at Li Yu trustingly, and handed over the child to him, he was very relieved.

"Ah Yu, we rely on you to protect us!" Ye Junshu leaned over and whispered in Li Yu's ear.

Li Yu's ears turned red in an instant, but he still assured him solemnly, "Don't worry, nothing will happen."

"Well, I believe you."

Ye Junshu secretly smiled, Ah Yu is really cute.

Seeing that Li Yu's eyes were wandering, he seemed very embarrassed, so he quickly leaned over and kissed him on the side of his cheek while he was not paying attention.

Then laugh like a stealing cat.

Li Yu came to his senses, but he was not shy. Instead, he frowned and looked at Ye Junshu, disapproving, saying, "In broad daylight, you can't..."

When Ye Junshu heard that Ah Yu wanted to preach again, he immediately changed the subject, "Ah Yu, come home with me later, I want to formally introduce you as my future brother."

Although Ah Yu and the children knew each other, they didn't have a confirmed relationship at that time, they were just friends.

Today is different from the past!

Li Yu hesitated for a moment, then refused, "I still can't, I'm not ready for a meeting ceremony." Li Yu was still quite embarrassed to meet the other party's family as a future partner.

Thinking of the rumors circulating that Zizhou's younger brother is a rascal and rascal who is not easy to get along with and is very resistant to the rumors that Zizhou married into a family, Li Yu felt that it would be better to bring a meeting gift.

Ye Junshu didn't know that Li Yu had thought so much, he was about to continue persuading him, but Li Yu lifted the curtain of the car, and seeing that he had almost arrived at Ye Mansion, he found a place with few people and got off.

"I'm leaving, I'll come back to you in a few days."

With that said, before Ye Junshu could persuade him to stay, Li Yu opened the car door and went out.

Ye Junshu followed behind, "Leaving so soon?" He still wanted to stay with Ah Yu for a while longer.

It was only now that we had a quick meeting, and the seats were not even hot yet!

Seeing the people inside coming out, the coachman stopped the carriage quickly.

Li Yu jumped off the carriage neatly, and then signaled Ye Junshu not to get down.

Ye Junshu had no choice but to hold the door of the car and looked at him pitifully, before meeting him in a hurry, completely unable to relieve his pain of lovesickness.

Seeing this, Li Yu's heart softened. He slowed down his voice and said, "I'm going home tonight. I shouldn't stay for long. I'll be free tomorrow."

The implication is that I will come to him tomorrow!

Ye Junshu's eyes lit up immediately, and then he said considerately: "It is right to spend more time with elder brother."

Li Yu nodded, then turned and left.

Ye Junshu watched Li Yu go away, closed the car door happily, and laughed silently in the car.Then can't wait for tomorrow to come.

Ye Junshu's life in the Imperial Academy was unsatisfactory, but he was frustrated in his career and happy in love.

Almost every day, he can live a two-person world with Ah Yu. He is immersed in joy every day, and he is not affected by the bad things in the Imperial Academy.

But outside is happy event again and again.

After a period of competition, the candidates for the vacancies before the last year were decided, and the promotions were promoted, and the transfers were transferred.

Many scholars and editors of the Imperial Academy seized the opportunity and were transferred.

Not only his colleagues with several years of seniority, but even several of his peers had the opportunity.

Ye Junshu, who was supposed to have the best chance, was ignored.

Even if he was named and praised by Emperor Tai'an, he has made real contributions.

After all, he was working under Ming Pengzhan.

If the immediate superior intends to suppress him, no one can do anything about it.

Even Deng Hongyuan took a post in the Imperial College.

Ye Junshu didn't get any promotion, not to mention, he even lost the little rights he had at hand.

Ye Junshu sighed melancholy, how could he have the confidence to ask Ah Yu to marry him now?

But when faced with the sweet dates that the Ming family handed over again, Ye Junshu resolutely refused.

For this reason, he took every opportunity to find opportunities to comfort Ah Yu with a kiss and a hug.

Yu Maolin finally decided to release Jinjiang to the outside world, and he used a little trick to get the Ming family to implement this matter on him, and everyone was happy.

The two celebrated in private.

Once the errand was set, Yu Maolin was about to start preparing to leave Beijing to take up the post.

When Yu Maolin and his husband leave, if there is no accident, they will not be able to see each other again for at least several years.Even though we still keep in touch, we are not in the same place, and we can no longer see each other just by making an appointment as before.

Ye Junshu was still very reluctant about this.

But Yu Maolin was more open-minded. He said that there is always a banquet in the world, and he is not his husband. There will always be a day when we will be separated. How can we stick together forever?

That's what he said, but every time he heard Yu Maolin say something, he felt bad.

Thinking of Yu Maolin's undisguised disgust in his eyes when he said the word "husband", Ye Junshu gritted his teeth for a while, hehe, if his partner is such a poisonous person, he will give up in minutes without discussing it.

After a mutual loss with Yu Maolin, the sorrow of parting was gone, Ye Junshu wished that Yu Maolin would leave quickly.

Since the conclusion of the contract, Yu Maolin's mouth has become more poisonous, he should be a speaker, and he is absolutely invincible in the world.

Yu Maolin left soon, and gave Ye Junshu the deed gift in advance before leaving.

After Ye Junshu concludes the contract, Yu Maolin will have no chance to attend the wedding banquet.

Although that is still a shadow of a thing.

When Yu Maolin really left, Ye Junshu couldn't help but feel depressed, alas, after Maolin left, he would not have a friend to talk to in Beijing, thinking about it made him feel bad.
