In mid-February, Prince Gongjing of Shang, Yue Yunning, conferred the title of Inspector of Chuzhou and Marquis of Pingyuan, and bestowed marriage on Gao Yanwan, the grandson of Chongwu Army Jiedu Envoy Gao Yanwan!The Son of Heaven presided over the ceremony in person, and Nan Gongji was also allowed to attend the ceremony.

After the main banquet in the evening, several people set up a banquet in the side hall and drank and frolicked for a while.

Before the banquet was over, Yun Ning sighed: "From today onwards, I will no longer enter Zi Shan Tang, and I'm afraid we will not be so casual when we meet in the future." Long-term contacts are prohibited.

Although they knew this earlier, they felt uncomfortable when they heard what he said, and each of them sighed for a while.

Suddenly Wen Yun said: "Actually, I have a strategy to teach us to still be able to get together forever."

Yun Ning wondered: "What is the strategy?"

Yunxi laughed and said, "Don't listen to his nonsense! This matter is extremely difficult."

Yun Ze retorted: "The only difficulty is the lack of money." Then he told the story of several people who wanted to collect money to buy a foreign house.

After hearing this, Yun Ning said in surprise: "You dare to do this! If the Zongzheng pursues it, how can you afford it?"

Yunxi said: "Why don't we know this? If the patriarchal clan is not so strict, we can't have a gathering place on weekdays, and we wouldn't think so."

Yun Ning sighed: "Come on, teach me to think about it before I talk about it, but you must remember that this matter must not be publicized!"

Late at night, the dew was heavy, and the cold air quietly seeped into the car through the curtains.

The drunkenness gradually dissipated, Nan Gongji sighed softly, raised the curtain and looked back at the brightly lit place, seeming to have a feeling, and chanted: "If you can achieve success, why not die? I wish I could be a mandarin duck and not envy immortals!"

When he heard it, he joked: "It's appropriate for Mr. Lang to only give the latter sentence to the Marquis of Pingyuan, but the first sentence will be avoided. Life and death are very unpleasant."

Nangongji smiled, but did not answer.

He ordered him to say again: "Although I have never read any books, I have always heard that those who recite the poems of Huayue and mandarin ducks are all affectionate people. In this way, Mr. Lang..."

Nangongji taught him to point out the central issue, so he felt a little embarrassed, and said: "You must be drunk tonight, how dare you make fun of me!"

Ling Qi said with a smile: "It is true that after a few short drinks, he will talk nonsense when he is three points drunk. It is really time to fight."

Nangongji laughed and said, "Forget it." Then he was afraid that he would mention this again, so he said, "I heard that among the descendants of the clan, the Marquis of Pingyuan is the most loved today. From today's point of view, it is true!"

Ling Qi said: "Pingyuan Hou lost his father when he was young, and he was raised in the palace since he was a child. Although he was born, he still accompanied the prince to this day. The official family and him are uncles and nephews in name, but in fact they are more affectionate than father and son! Therefore, the holy family It's normal to be thicker."

Nangong Ji sighed: "That's how it is! Speaking of which, I have only been classmates with him for two months, but we are very similar. I don't want to say goodbye so soon, I am reluctant to let go."

Ling Qi smiled and said: "The so-called 'there is no banquet in the world that never ends', there is nothing wrong with your husband and his classmates getting along well, but my patriarchal clan is strict, and if we break up in the future, it will be difficult to keep in touch with each other! In this case, it is better to be indifferent now." better."

Nangong Ji nodded: "That's true! However, seeing him every day now, I can't be too deep!" After thinking about it, he sighed: "Now that Marquis Pingyuan is gone, it can't be imagined for a year and a half The rest will also be enshrined, and when they all leave the palace, wouldn’t it be boring to leave me alone in the confinement to study with me?!”

He comforted him and said: "Your Majesty, you don't need to worry too much. Even if the princes are ennobled, they are not forbidden to enter the palace. Besides, these princes have been with the prince since childhood. They will not be able to leave for a while!"

Nangong Ji shook his head: "I don't think so! They are not too young. They will be ennobled and married in the future. It is inevitable that they want to be at ease. At that time, even the crown prince would not be able to keep him."

Ling Qi also laughed: "It's not impossible to say that."

Speaking of the crown prince, Nan Gongji said: "The crown prince will be fifteen this year, I wonder if there is any plan in the holy will?"

He made him know what he was referring to, and replied: "It should have been dealt with long ago, but it is less than two years since Queen Zhanghuai passed away, so this matter needs to be postponed for a while."

After all, the car has arrived at the gate of the mansion, so the words will stop here for the time being.

It was past half of the night, but Nan Gongji couldn't fall asleep.I walked into the courtyard leisurely, but felt the cool wind invaded my bones, and the orchids under the eaves swayed with the wind, and scattered a few wisps of light fragrance.I vaguely remember that the last time I enjoyed the flowers at night was in the middle of Sichuan, but now that I think about it, it seems like a lifetime ago.

The night was cold and windy, and I was full of melancholy, unable to express it. I pondered inside and wrote the next song "Wave Washing the Sand":

On a good night, the jade hall is empty, and the moon is hazy.It's hard to recall the face of a beautiful woman when I'm drunk.The phoenix brocade tent is tossed and turned frequently, and the lonely shadow is full of lights.

Let the spring breeze caress all over Fang Cong.Feihua passed Lanting East again.Far away to the place where we joined hands at that time, it is hard to find a trace.

Spring has arrived, the promise has not been fulfilled, and people are separated by thousands of miles, how can this be so embarrassing?

Since entering Beijing, although there are family letters every month, there is no way to talk about marriage.Every time I think about the sunset, I am afraid that I will go back indefinitely. Instead of lamenting that Shaohua is gone, it is better to let it go and save some worries.With my mind set, I took up a pen and wrote a letter to my family, please let go of the marriage!However, I asked the adults about the number of words, but I couldn't figure out the words. After a lot of thinking and deliberation, I wrote it after nearly four o'clock.

A night of lonely dreams.

When I got up early in the morning and saw the family letter on the table that hadn't been cast yet, I suddenly felt something was wrong, and frowned for a while.The left and right don't know what he wants, but when they see the letter, they ask if they want to send it!Nangongji hesitated for a moment, but finally shook his head.

During this period of time, the two of Yunxi and Yunze looked very busy, they were absent-minded during the day, and at night when school was over, they left faster than rabbits in the forest!The crown prince gradually noticed this, and after asking several times, Nan Gongji could only cover up for him indiscriminately.Fortunately, the prince didn't go into the details, and when school was over early, he stayed at Nangong to play chess with him and chat with him. When the weather is good, or go to the back garden to enjoy the flowers, it will not be boring.

Towards the end of the month, Yunxi told Nangongji privately that he and others had chosen a house in the east of Zhongcheng, but the asking price of this house was tens of thousands of guan, and the money could not be collected in a short time, so at the moment, it is better to buy instead of rent. And the rent money is almost collected!

Nangongji naturally understood, so he gave him two hundred guan from the mansion in the name of preparing a congratulatory gift.This was originally a joke, Nan Gongji didn't take it seriously, but unexpectedly he waited for such supernatural powers, and urged Yun Ning to do it together!Up to now, Nan Gongji has regretted it too much.Fortunately, Yun Ning is prudent, with him in charge of the overall situation, there will be no major mistakes.And if this matter can really be accomplished, there will be a place where one can feel at ease in the future, so that's good too!

In March, there will be a flower viewing and fishing party in the palace.

When Yue Ling heard about the past year, he asked Nan Gongji to teach him the "secret technique" of fishing!Nan Gongji couldn't refuse, so he went fishing with him in Jinming Pond during his ten-day rest.

Under the setting sun, Yuhu Lake is clear, and the evening wind stirs up ripples. The two teenagers are very happy to fish and play by the lake.After fishing for two hours, the prince has really improved, and he must get something with his next shot.

Nangong Ji then joked: "Is Your Highness trying to seize the position of the No. [-] fisherman? No wonder there is a saying in the folks that 'skills cannot be taught with everything'. My master may not be as good as that lame old cat in the end!"

Yue Ling couldn't understand what it meant.

Nangongji then told this story: The tiger worshiped the cat as his teacher, but he would eat the cat instead of remembering his teacher's kindness after leaving the teacher!Unexpectedly, at the moment when it opened its mouth wide and rushed, the cat jumped up the tree lightly!The tiger had no choice but to look at the tree and sigh!It turned out that the cat didn't teach the tiger everything, but intentionally kept the tree-climbing skill for the last time, which really saved his life!

After listening to the story, Yue Ling frowned thoughtfully.

Nangongji said this at random, just wanting to make him smile, but unexpectedly he reacted like this!At this time, when I think back to what I said just now, I feel that something is wrong: Even if it is a joke, you shouldn't pretend to be the prince's teacher!Besides, since he compares himself to a cat, wouldn't the prince become that ungrateful tiger?No wonder the prince is unhappy!

He was regretting himself and thinking about how to smooth things over, but unexpectedly the crown prince said first: "Since you can predict that you may turn against each other in the future, why bother to make friends? You have made friends, but you can't treat them sincerely. Take precautions and leave unique skills. The original intention is Protect yourself, but the tiger will think it's cunning, wouldn't it add to the suspicion? Therefore, the so-called cause and effect, I think it's all in it!"

Nangong Ji was astonished when he heard this.After a long time, he said: "Your Highness's words are not unreasonable, but the reason why the cat accepts the tiger as his apprentice must have a last resort, the world's affairs are generally like this, knowing that it is difficult, but still have to do it, it is the situation. , it’s mostly involuntary.”

Yue Ling lowered his eyes, seeming to be pondering his words.After a while, he raised his eyes and smiled lightly: "That's reasonable too! Forget it, after a story, there is no need for us to distinguish between right and wrong for his master and apprentice. You and I are just good at fishing."

After a smile, the two continued.

The author has something to say:

Hands are cheap again! In the song "Lang Taosha", I always feel that the last sentence is not smooth, but I am not so patient. If there are poetry lovers among the readers, I hope you can give me some advice!
