In the days when I was forced to become a Feng Shui master

"Pale hair against red makeup." Yu Ning said understandingly.

When the third young master heard this, he raised his head and drank the wine in his glass, and laughed loudly: "Yu Ning, you are really a wonderful person!"

"The third young master is absurd." Yu Ning said.

The third young master threw the chopsticks on the table casually, raised the jug and filled a glass of wine for Yu Ning, poured it for himself, held the glass and touched him: "What are you calling the third young master? Dai Guan, I don’t have any words. Brothers can appreciate it. They all call me ‘Brother Yu’. If you don’t mind calling me that, you can call me that! If you can’t say it, you can even call me by my first name!”

"The word 'Yu' collides with my 'Yu', it sounds like I'm calling myself...I'll just call you by your name!" Yu Ning said with great interest: "Before you said that the draft , I heard that your highnesses are about to get married at the same age, could it be chosen for your highnesses?"

"Hi!" The third young master said with a sneer on his face, "You don't understand this, do you?"

"That's what I said last year. Every family sent their best daughters to the palace in a foolish way. Then the number one beauty in Chang'an Mansion, Miss Qin, and the third most famous Miss Liu, were all sent last year. Going to the draft... Guess what happened in the end?" The third young master took a chicken paw in his mouth and said vaguely, "I didn't leave any of them for your highness! Our sage has been a groom for eighteen days!"

"Then Eldest Miss Qin is still the sweetheart of His Highness the Third Highness! In a blink of an eye, the sweetheart became my own little mother! She even competed with her own mother, Concubine Yu, who has been favored by her for more than ten years! Do you think it's funny?!"

"Eighteen days bridegroom?" Yu Ning's thoughts turned to a magical place, and he said in a loud voice: "This sage is really full of dragon and tiger spirit..."

The third young master winked and said: "Come on... what kind of dragon and tiger spirit, it's all produced by medicines. You didn't know that you were not in Chang'an Mansion last year. Last year, the three most popular things in Chang'an Mansion..."

"One is a famous doctor, the other is a Taoist priest who can make alchemy, and the third is a herb that strengthens yang! What tiger penis, deer penis... You must not reveal this matter. My father told me quietly, saying that the rest of the day They all eat egg feasts, you know what to eat and what to eat, right?"

Yu Ning was taken aback, and said in disbelief: "Is that really useful?"

"Concubine Liu gave birth to the thirteen princesses in the first month of this year, and they should be one year old after the new year, what do you think?"

"That seems to be really useful."

"That's not true, and the current Holy Majesty likes that big quilt the most..." The third young master suddenly fell silent in the middle of speaking. These words are too private, and there are only a few sources of sources. If Yu Ning's words spread out, he He is also sure that no one will be caught, but once this word comes out, if Yu Ning spreads it, he can be found out by eight hundred and ten.

Yu Ning raised his eyebrows, and said in disbelief: "This is also possible? Those famous ladies are also willing?"

"People are under the eaves, there is no one who doesn't bow their heads..." The third young master said vaguely: "Forget it, we can't have these on the dinner table, eat vegetables, eat vegetables! This is the new camphor tea duck in the guesthouse. I haven't eaten it twice, after I have eaten two bites, young master, I will teach you how to play the fan!"

Yu Ning also knew that this matter might be too private, the Third Young Master Liu was not easy to talk about, and he didn't pursue it anymore, instead he pointed at the duck on the table with a folding fan in his hand, and said with a smile: "Furong, take this Bring the duck in front of the third young master!...I see your hand is really greedy, I practiced all morning today, but I couldn't make this fan turn over twice, your hand is really powerful!"

The third young master picked up a duck leg, took a bite happily, and said, "No, this is my unique skill, young master!... You have to use skill when throwing it up, not brute force, just watch!..."

The third young master grabbed a handkerchief and wiped his hands, took his own jade fan and threw it up, reproducing his stunt.

Yu Ning was itchy to see it, and threw the fan too, but the fan was too forceful, and fell into the bone plate in front of him with a bang, and the jade fan bones immediately preferred to shatter jade rather than to be whole.

The third young master slapped the table and laughed loudly: "You can't do it, you!"

Yu Ning pulled out another folding fan from his sleeve, this time he learned how to behave, it is made of rosewood wood, not jade.He said seriously: "A man can't say no..."

……

***

After the second watch at night, the two of them were ready to break up, and each went back to his own house, each looking for his own parents.

Yuning drank a little too much, so he stopped riding a horse and changed to a car.As soon as the alcohol smells on your head, you feel a little dizzy, as if you have forgotten all your troubles, and you feel as light as if you are flying in the clouds.Furong wiped his face with a wet handkerchief, Yu Ning took the handkerchief and stuck his face in to cover it, the cold steam made him step on the ground, he took a sachet of Chinese herbal medicine and hung it on the ground On him, he asked Fu Rong to open the windows of the car to evacuate the smell of alcohol from his body.

The National Teacher's Mansion was still brightly lit, and two servants were guarding the door looking around. Seeing Yu Ning and the others came back, they rushed up to greet them. One of them said: "Master, you are back! The adults have looked for you three times!"

"My lord is looking for me?" Yu Ning's mind was still a little dull, and after repeating both sides, he remembered who this 'adult' was referring to.In fact, if you tell him 'his master is looking for him', 'his master is looking for him', he may react faster.

"Exactly! Your lord has ordered you to come back, no matter how late the young master is when you come back."

"understood."

The National Teacher's Mansion opened the gate to welcome Yu Ning and the others to enter, and Yu Ning strode to Gu Guoshi's courtyard in stride. Gu Guoshi received the message and waited for him in the study with his clothes on. Seeing his face flushed, he smelled of alcohol again , then frowned and said: "Have you been drinking? Have you drank a lot?"

"The apprentice has met the master." Yu Ning cupped his hands at Gu Guoshi, and even forgot to change the name back for a moment. He didn't wait for Gu Guoshi to call, so he leaned up and sat next to Gu Guoshi, even pulling his sleeve Said: "Master, what do you want to do with me? I'm so sleepy, I want to sleep."

Gu Guoshi was leaning on the slum, and when he didn't notice for a while, he asked Yu Ning to stick to his side. The strong smell of wine mixed with a little herbal fragrance came to his face, making him so disgusted that he didn't know what to do.However, Yu Ning didn't feel it herself, so she reached out and touched Gu Guoshi's shoulder, hugged him in her arms, and leaned against him, saying: "Master, I feel a little uncomfortable..."

Gu Guoshi pinched his wrist and tore Yu Ning off with his backhand, then kicked him off the couch: "Come here, take the young master to sober up."

"Yes." Mo Lan lowered her head and went forward to help Yuning up, and took her to the hot spring in the backyard to wash Yuning up.To be honest, Yu Ning didn't think he was drunk, but because no one believed him, Mo Lan refused to let him go, pulled his clothes off and put him in the water, then turned around and fed him a bowl of sour The spicy and bitter hangover soup poured down Yuning's chin, then turned around and vomited.

But fortunately, he still had a little bit of reason, knowing that if he vomited in the pool, Gu Guoshi would probably take care of him, so he turned his head and vomited on the shore.The servants around were in a hurry again, giving him Shunqi, pouring water, cleaning up the dirt, sprinkling incense ash to deodorize, and so on.

When Gu Guoshi came, he saw Yu Ning squatting on the bank, his hair was brushed carefully, and he sat down on the soft bed on the bank: "Are you awake?"

"Wake up." Yu Ning asked wearily: "Just now I heard that the master is looking for me?"

"You haven't come back for a long time, don't you allow us to worry?" Gu Guoshi only put on an outer shirt, and it was a little cold at this time, so he took off his outer shirt and went into the water, soaked in the hot spring and talked to Yuning: "Today, you are here Have a good time outside?"

"I heard people say that you bought some messy things?" Gu Guoshi asked.

"It's very happy." Yu Ning shook his hair, disgusted that the water in his hair was cold, and he had a headache from the cold, so he lowered himself into the water, and only came out when his whole body was hot and he couldn't hold his breath. : "Isn't this boring? I'm also going to experience what is called the life of a dude in Chang'an Mansion... To save you from always saying that I can't get on the stage."

Gu Guoshi angrily and amusedly took a towel from Mo Lan's hand, and threw it to Yuning: "Wipe yourself."

Yu Ning took the towel and lazily called out: "Fu Rong, come here and rub the young master's back."

Fu Rong lowered her eyebrows and narrowed her eyes in response, and walked over lightly to wipe Yuning's back.Seeing that he squinted his eyes comfortably, Gu Guoshi didn't want to disturb him, and waited until Furong finished rubbing him, then turned back and said, "What did you hear today?"

Yu Ning's eyes moved, and she suddenly regained her spirits: "Master, I forgot if you didn't mention it, and I still want to ask you... Your Majesty, what kind of big quilt do you really like to sleep with? Is it so exciting?"

Gu Guoshi originally expected him to ask some in-depth questions, but he turned to this in a blink of an eye, and he knocked on Yuning's head: "You are energetic again?"

"It's human nature to be pornographic!" Yu Ning said with a smile.

"..." What he said was very reasonable, Gu Guoshi was speechless for a while, and then said: "...It is true."

"Then those well-known ladies are willing to nod?" Yu Ning said in surprise.

With a little disgust, Gu Guoshi said softly: "Those who don't want to have their own places to go... Besides, how many people dare to talk about the anecdote of the Tian family? How do you know?"

Yu Ning stroked her hair, and replied: "Today, I had a drink with the third young master of Liu Shilang's family from the Ministry of Industry, and he accidentally slipped his mouth."

"So that's how it is." Gu Guoshi changed the subject: "Sleep well today, and you will follow me into the palace tomorrow."

"...Huh?" Yu Ning blinked, pointed at her nose and said in disbelief: "Entering the palace? Me?...Why should I go in? I don't want to be an official."

Immediately afterward, Yu Ning fell down on the rocks on the shore again, and said, "No, master, I can't go, I'm dizzy!"

"If you don't go, you have to go." Gu Guoshi glanced at him, raised his eyebrows and said: "Unless you don't want the sacrificial robe... and you want the sacrificial robe but are unwilling to contribute, how can there be such a good thing in the world?"

"Yes! I can fight for my father!" Yu Ning hugged Gu Guoshi's arm, and said clearly: "My master is the national teacher, and my father is the contracted person of the national teacher. Strictly speaking, you are also my father , What’s wrong with giving me a sacrificial robe? I didn’t ask them to embroider a hundred or eighty pieces and tell me to change them, but those are all young masters, I have a good temper!”

Gu Guoshi raised his hand and pushed Yu Ning into the water: "Will you be successful after going out for a while?"

"Gululu..." Yu Ning spit out two strings of water bubbles, and climbed up Gu Guoshi, looking extremely weak: "Good master, I'm going to torture you to death..."

"..." Gu Guoshi smacked his mouth, always felt that Yu Ning's words sounded a bit wrong, but he couldn't say anything, so he waved his hand and tore Yu Ning apart and threw it aside. He fell on the bank like a rag doll, and folded his arms and said, "No, master, don't come, this disciple can't take it anymore!"

Gu Guoshi: "..."

"It's really promising." Gu Guoshi got up and went ashore, and kicked Yu Ning back into the water again. He was about to raise his voice to call out, but seeing that Yu Ning didn't get up from the water for a long time, he frowned He had no choice but to go into the water to catch the man, and when he was picked up, Yuning had already fallen asleep.As soon as he came out of the water, Yu Ning woke up again, took a long breath, coughed twice, and said in a daze: "It's really impossible..."

After all, he tilted his head and fell asleep on Gu Guoshi's body.

Gu Guoshi was so angry and funny, he wanted to hit him, but he was reluctant to hit the drunk cat again, if he didn't, he was so angry that he panicked.After a while he raised his voice and said: "Come here, the young master has drunk too much, send him to the side room to rest."

Fu Rong and Mo Lan came in, Fu Rong quickly went into the water to support Yu Ning, Mo Lan waited on Gu Guoshi to change clothes and wipe himself, Gu Guoshi glared angrily at Yu Ning who was sleeping soundly, and went back to the room.

***

In the next day, Yu Ning was sleeping soundly and was pulled up by Fu Rong. When he opened his eyes, he realized that the curtain above his head looked unfamiliar. He rubbed his eyebrows and said, "I slept outside?"

Fu Rong was already busy, and took a set of dark blue clothes from the side, which was not worth it, and pulled Yu Ning to wrap him around him, saying: "Young Master, it seems that I really drank too much yesterday, this is Ming Fei. The side room in the courtyard, you fell asleep after chatting with the adults for a while yesterday, because you are going to enter the palace today, the adults told you to rest here."

"... Entering the palace?" Yu Ning rubbed the hand between her brows for a while, and then murmured after thinking for a long time: "It seems that there is such a thing..."

Fu Rong chuckled, pulled Yu Ning to sit down in front of the mirror, took a jade crown and tied up all his long hair, this time she didn't care about the hairpin request, and picked a tail The very sharp hairpin got into Yu Ning's hair, passed through the jade crown to fix it, turned around and tied a jade pendant and a sachet on Yu Ning's waist, and put the black one that Gu Guoshi gave him before. After putting on the robe, he nodded in satisfaction. "Okay, master."

Yuning curled her lips, and tugged at the sachet on her waist: "What's in it, it's so heavy."

"A silver ticket, and a handful of golden lockets." Fu Rong snatched the sachet back from him, put it back on the hem of his clothes, and readjusted the length: "The palace is no better than the mansion, so there must be an emergency. Young master, you should wear it honestly, and if something happens to you later, you will try your best to stuff money, those palace people are short-handed, so it is not easy to embarrass you, young master."

"Oh." Yu Ning answered honestly, and went out, but Gu Guoshi had already packed up and was eating in the hall, Mr. Mei was not there.Gu Guoshi's eyes are a little black and black, and seeing Yuning coming, he still can't help but glared at him - the more he thought about Yu Ning's words yesterday, the more he felt something was wrong, this bastard really dared to do anything after drinking too much, even the master Dare to tease!

Yuning was stared inexplicably: "Master, why are you staring at me?"

"Sit down and eat." Seeing that Yu Ning didn't remember, Gu Guoshi said concisely and didn't want to mention it.

Yu Ning sat down properly, there is no porridge on the table today, mainly dry food, Yu Ning has the habit of drinking porridge in the morning, wondering: "Why is there no porridge today?"

"It's inconvenient to drink too much water and enter the palace." Gu Guoshi said flatly.It doesn't matter to him, even if Yu Ning entered the palace for the first time, it doesn't mean he panicked, it's just that with Yu Ning's bad temper, if he leaves his side, there might be troubles, so it's better to strangle him from the source OK.But it's not good to give Yu Ning water, Gu Guoshi raised his hand, and Mo Lan came up and poured half a cup of tea for Yu Ning.

Yu Ning looked at Gu Guoshi aggrievedly, ate two cakes with tea, and after eating, the sky gradually brightened, Gu Guoshi got up and took him into the palace.

It's the first time for Yuning to enter the palace - after all, he didn't have the time and money to travel to City B, to visit the Forbidden City, etc. The car wobbled and walked along, following the people on both sides Fewer and fewer, tall red walls gradually appeared in front of Yuning's eyes.

After a while, they arrived at the gate of the palace. As soon as Gu Guoshi came out, he met Mr. Zhou Ge who got off the sedan chair. Mr. Zhou Ge was much more haggard than last time, and his face had no vitality. When he saw Gu Guoshi, he bowed his head. She cupped her hands: "Gu Guoshi, are you coming to court today?"

"It's the Chinese New Year, I can't hide anymore." Gu Guoshi raised his hand, and Yu Ning stood behind him to salute Mr. Zhou Ge: "I've met Mr. Zhou Ge."

"Mr. Yu is here too?" Elder Zhou Ge gestured to Yu Ning to avoid the ceremony, and walked side by side with Gu Guoshi, saying: "I heard that this time the Guoshi intends to call Mr. Yu as the deputy priest?"

"There is such a thing." Gu Guoshi said: "I didn't expect that when I was old, I could ask my disciples to be my assistant priests."

"Mr. Yu is really young and promising... I haven't thanked Mr. Yu for what happened last time."

"He is a disciple of this seat, and he is regarded as the elder's junior. What can the elder thank him for?"

"Then I'll be disrespectful."

Yu Ning walked behind them, and there were some people wearing official uniforms around them. Seeing Gu Guoshi standing side by side with Mr. Zhou Ge, they were so intrigued that they didn't dare to go forward. A salute from a distance is considered a full courtesy, just listen to Mr. Zhou Ge Suddenly said in a low voice: "I've already taken care of that matter before... Teacher Lao will worry about it."

"Don't dare to be." Gu Guoshi also said: "It's all on my head, I'm still a national teacher after all, so naturally I can't stand by and watch, it's just the matter of the eldest son..."

"I can't blame the national teacher for this matter." After Zhou Ge said this, he stopped bringing up the topic, and then chatted about the recent heavy snow in a normal volume: "Today is a good weather, there is no more snow. The snow that fell for a few days made me flustered, and to tell you the truth, I didn't sleep well for several nights, and I was afraid of a catastrophe."

Gu Guoshi said calmly: "Did Mr. Ge find the Qin Tianjian? The year is over, and I heard that the masters of all countries have settled down in Zhou Tianfu. I will write to him later to ask him if he is lucky or not."

"Then there will be Teacher Lao."

While talking, the people passed through several palace gates, and when they arrived outside the main hall, an eunuch in purple came up to them, bowed his knees and saluted them, and said with a smile on his face: "Today, there are magpies in the palace that are chirping. , I was still thinking about some happy event, but I didn't expect to see you."

Gu Guoshi nodded and said hello: "Supervisor Rong, is Your Majesty up?"

"Look at what you said, today is the grand court at the end of the year, Your Majesty will not delay it!" Supervisor Rong moved the whisk in his hand, looked at Yu Ning and said, "Who is this?"

"This is my disciple, surnamed Yu, with a single name of Ning. After the next court, I will meet the Holy One with me." Gu Guoshi signaled Yu Ning to take a step forward, and Yu Ning bowed his hands obediently. Quickly avoided: "Don't make it, don't make it! The ancients often said that a gentleman is dignified and gentle like jade. I saw the young master today, and I know this is true!"

Gu Guoshi glanced at him, and said: "Okay, don't flatter me. It's his first time entering the palace, so it's inevitable that there will be some omissions. After a while, the labor supervisor will ask someone to watch over him cleverly, so as not to offend the nobleman."

"This is what it should be! Even if you don't tell me, I will definitely take care of the young master properly!" Supervisor Rong raised his hand, and behind him a young eunuch in Tsing Yi stepped forward and bowed respectfully to everyone , He said: "This is my godson Rong Jin, let him take the young master to the tea room to rest for a while, and when you go down to court, you will definitely bring it back to the national teacher exactly as it is!"

"There is a labor supervisor." Gu Guoshi nodded and said.

Supervisor Rong raised his head and looked at the sky: "Oh! It's getting late, my lords, please come in!"

Gu Guoshi nodded to Yu Ning, and followed the courtiers into the hall.Yuning gave Gu Guoshi a look of 'I will never make trouble', smiled and said to the little eunuch: "Eunuch Rong, I'm sorry."

The little eunuch lowered his head and said in a low voice: "Young Master Yu should not call you 'Elder-in-law', but the one who can call you 'Elder-in-law' in the palace must be a sample-level eunuch like my godfather, and the young master will call me." Just a word of 'inspector' is enough... Young Master Yu, please come with me."

"Inspector, please lead the way." Yu Ning changed his words in a polite manner, and followed him to a side hall next to the main hall, where the inspector bowed and said, "Master Yu, this is the tea room, usually for officials to rest their feet Yes, Young Master Yu can rest on his own after entering, don’t walk around casually, and the servants will come to pick you up when the court is over.”

"Thank you." Yu Ning thought about it when he walked this way, this supervisor is the godson of Supervisor Rong, and his status must not be low. Is it a little too little to give a little gold?So when he got here, he took out a 100 tael bank note from his sleeve and stuffed it into the other party's hand calmly. "For a little tea, the inner eunuch should not refuse."

"My servant thanked Young Master Yu for the reward." The eunuch accepted it calmly, and seeing his gesture, he must have accepted it as usual.Yuning smiled and stepped into the hall.The layout of the hall is quite smoky, with about twenty chairs, and there are long and rattan chairs near the window, and even a few chess boards and a cabinet of classics.As soon as Yu Ning entered, a little maid came to guide him, but she didn't even raise her head, she just led him to a seat and served tea before retreating.

Yu Ning sat for a while, remembering Gu Guoshi's order and did not dare to drink more tea.It's been a long time, Yu Ning became flustered after sitting for about twenty minutes, and simply ran to the classics to look through them. At this time, he might be able to read even a single scripture with gusto.What I didn't expect was that this group of elders looked very serious, there were all kinds of books on this shelf, in addition to the regular classics, Yu Ning also took out several poetry collections and story books from the corner.

——and keep up with the trend!The book in Yu Ning's hand is the "False Words Collection" he read recently. It tells about a gifted man who was poor since childhood, his father died early, and there was only one old mother left in the family. Looking at the two acres of Susukida in his family, this talented man fought against the best relatives in the family all the way, worked hard to become the champion, and finally accepted the job of the princess.He has only finished the first volume of this book, and has never had a chance to read the second volume. Now, he is ready to read the second volume here.

Yu Ning read the first half of the book, and a small eunuch came outside, holding a food box and whispering to Yu Ning: "The servants came here under the order of Brother Rong, and Brother Rong said that today is the Great Dynasty, so I'm afraid it will be returned to you." It will take a long time to leave the court, so I specially asked my servants to come and talk to Young Master Yu. These food stuffs are for Young Master Yu to pass some time."

"Then thank the supervisor." Yu Ning thanked him, and stepped back to go out.

Numerous palace dramas told Yu Ning: First of all, it is best not to eat anything in the palace, and it is best to just touch your lips with tea, swallowing it is absolutely impossible.Furthermore, when people eat and drink too much, they will want to go to the bathroom. Yuning has not cultivated to that level and does not need to go to the bathroom. What is going to the bathroom called in the palace?That's a death flag! On the way to the bathroom, you will definitely meet someone who has a secret conversation, or an assassin who escapes, or you break through an adulterous relationship, secretly poison you, or you will run into some noble person and offend someone.

Then it's time to watch, if it's the main character, maybe it's a safe escape, or if it's a thrilling one, you can save your life.If it is a supporting role, it usually ends in death.

A person like Yuning, who is particularly obsessed with himself, of course chooses the smartest one: it doesn't matter whether he plays a supporting role or a leading role, if he doesn't eat, he'll die!Obediently and honestly waiting for his master to pick him up in the tea room!Perfectly avoid all flags!

The witty and clever Yu Ning gave herself a thumbs up, and continued to concentrate on reading the script.

But as the saying goes, if the mountain does not come, it will be me, and I will go to the mountain.Yu Ning was watching, when someone came behind him suddenly, Yu Ning just thought it was a little maid who came to tidy up, without raising her head, she said: "Please, sister, change me a cup of tea, it's getting cold."

The next moment, a knife was on Yuning's neck.

Yu Ning was stunned, but still didn't raise his head: "This strong man is merciful. I came to the palace with my family to learn a lot. I don't have an official position, and I haven't bullied men and women. Porridge and food. Now the adults are going to the court, and they should not be able to go to the court for a while. No matter who the strong man is looking for revenge, he is afraid that he has gone to the wrong place-I have not seen the appearance of the strong man, the strong man should hurry go!"

This set of words made the other party almost subconsciously put down the knife.

Seeing that the knife on his neck was loose, Yu Ning was about to praise the other party for his knowledge, but he heard the other party say: "So it's you?!"
