Grind incense

When I left the examination room, I saw Yanxi dancing and waving at me in the distance, yelling "Master!"

I think Yanxi's move is a bit silly, there is a large group of schoolboys outside the entrance of the examination hall, all of them are calling you son in unison, I have to have amazing hearing to pick out Yanxi's voice from thousands of voices.

Sitting in the carriage of Huihui Zhai, Yanxi asked me: "My lord, how did you do in the exam? Can you win Huiyuan?!"

I don't know what "Huiyuan" is, but I figured out from Yanxi's expectant eyes that this "Huiyuan" might not be very good, so I lowered my voice and answered Yanxi, "I failed the exam! "

Yanxi's shining eyes suddenly dimmed, and he didn't talk to me again along the way.

Back in the Gu mansion, Yanxi rushed to say a lot of good things for Gu Zhanqi in front of Gu Zhanqi's father, Gu Taifu, and said: "Young master caught a cold during the last exam, and he took the exam with illness. Confused, probably playing a little out of order."

Taifu Gu gave me a meaningful look, but he didn't get angry, but smiled in a low voice, and said something meaningful: "Confucians can be taught!"

When I got up to leave, Taifu Gu said to me again: "His Royal Highness has recovered from his illness. He said that he was afraid of delaying your study and preparation for the exam, so he didn't call you into the palace. Now that you have finished the exam, you can relax at home for two days." Go into the palace to accompany His Royal Highness to read! His Royal Highness is so sympathetic to his subordinates, you should use your heart to discuss knowledge with His Royal Highness."

Gu Taifu's words fell like a thunderbolt, and I was so shocked that I staggered with my front legs when I was about to step out of the door frame, and almost fell to the ground, "I not only want to take part in the scientific examination for Gu Zhanqi, but also for him. Be a companion for the King of Thailand?!"

"Heaven, lend me two taels of ink!" I called out in my heart, and now I understand that this Gu Zhanqi is not a good person, not only to hang out in the Gu's mansion, but also in the Wang's mansion. possible.

"If you wear it, you can just wear it. At worst, I will live happily here for a few days. If anyone thinks I am not pleasing to the eye, at worst, I will cut off Gu Zhanqi's head. If I go back to Naihe Bridge, I will treat it as if I didn't win." Pass this award!" Thinking of this, my stagnant heart immediately cleared up.

"Yanxi, go and prepare me a bright set of clothes, young master, I want to go out for a stroll!" Yanxi was so ordered to go.

I changed into the water-green soft satin jacket that Yanxi brought, and took a picture in front of the mirror, and felt that Gu Zhanqi was really like a lush green bamboo by me at this time.

I put another bag of broken silver on me, and went out of the Gu residence together with Yanxi.

The streets in the capital are very lively, and the entertainment life of the people in the capital is very rich.

There are those who watch the fight and monkey shows in a circle, those who sit and stand in front of the stalls selling all kinds of food, eat and drink, and some bargain with those who sell rouge, gouache, and embroidery needles and threads.

After digging in various circles for a long time, I went to a tea house named "Yihuchun" and drank a bowl of tea. It is said that it was grown from a small tea tree next to the big tea tree on Wuyi Mountain that was dedicated to the palace as a tribute tea. The "Dahongpao" that grows out.

"Zhuyi, I didn't expect to meet you in a pot of spring." I just drank a cup of "Dahongpao" grown on a small tea tree, and there was a faint call in my ears, "Zhuyi", It seems to be Gu Zhanqi's handwriting, and it seems to be an acquaintance.

Acquaintances are difficult to deal with, so I gather myself together, look back, and a figure in white clothes like snow came towards me, and sat down gracefully in front of me again.

I stared at that man's face for a while, but couldn't find any words to describe the man sitting in front of me. In short, when his figure became clear in front of my face, only a Tang poem flashed in my mind, "Sai Like snow and a branch of plum".

I took out a folding fan from my sleeve to cover half of my face, frowned and asked Yanxi: "Tell me who this person is? I suddenly can't remember."

Yanxi looked at me with a strange expression for a long while, then slowly said: "Young master, why don't you even remember him? His name is Mei Xiaochen, and he is the second son of Lord Shangshu. He was with you as a companion in front of the King of Thailand. .”

"Then what do I usually call him?" I looked at Yanxi again.

"Just call him his name, grind the incense." Yanxi said with a rather displeased face.

The word "milling incense" caught my ears, and I was stunned for a moment. I immediately thought of the two words that Gu Zhanqi often wrote on rice paper at night, "milling incense", could it be that the word "milling incense" on rice paper "It is Mei Xiaochen, the son of the Shangshu family who is dressed in sackcloth like snow in front of him.

"Crush incense." I greeted Mei Xiaochen rather awkwardly.

Mei Xiaochen didn't seem to see my weirdness, rinsed a cup with clear water, poured a cup of tea with lingering clouds, and said: "It's a good sign to drink Dahongpao after the scientific examination, and I will also drink it Happy!"
