Wen Tong took Achazi to the house, and he told the housekeeper: "After three years of imperial examination, Achazi will definitely be named on the gold list, so you take good care of it."

The housekeeper Nuonuo said yes, and took Achazi to a clean small room in the side courtyard, "My lord is usually frugal, and the room is simple and shabby. I'm sorry for you. But this place is near the study, so it's more convenient for you to read and serve your lord."

Achazi failed in the college entrance examination, and his family was poor. He thought that he would never have a day to study, but he didn't want to be appreciated by the master Jijiu when he was at the end of his life.

He was grateful and said: "There are tiles to cover the head, and walls to keep out the wind. Such a good place, Achazi never dared to think about it before, so there is nothing wrong with it."

The butler was afraid that he had a lot of background, so he relaxed a little when he saw this appearance, confessed a few words casually, and stopped talking.

Although Achazi was ecstatic, he was rewarded for nothing. He grew up in the market and knew that all benefits come at a price.It's like the young man on the flower bridge tried his best to cheat the night lantern for the young lady who was not a member, and changed a new person in the next year.

Even Shen Shaoqing, who he thought was a great benefactor, only offered him the opportunity to take the exam, but it's a pity that he didn't have high school, so he didn't have the face to meet his benefactor.But now, why would someone give him a safe place to live and teach him the way of studying and governing because of his crying?

This person is actually Master Jijiu of the Imperial College.

He was grateful, but more doubtful.

On the other side, Shen sighed as he looked at the roster of announcements that he kindly handed over. Ying Changwang was only ranked 37 in the backstage of the prefect's prefect.

Shu Huai said: "Most of the people on the list are the sons of rich businessmen, and half of them are acquaintances with the Liu family's children."

Shen Shi tapped on the rattan chair with two fingers, "Check it out for me, who in the Liu family loves peony."

Shu Huai nodded.

Shen Shi gave the key to Shuhuai again, "Change the food as soon as possible."

But Shu Huai's expression was solemn, "It takes seven days for a pigeon to fly from the middle of Beijing to the southwest, and half a month for a fast horse. If you bring food and grass, it will not be able to arrive in nearly a month. I'm afraid it will be too late..."

"In your opinion, how long can the Xiao family's army last?"

Shu Huai thought for a while, "The grain storage in the city is only for ten days."

"Okay, then I'll give you ten days." Shen Shi pointed the jade bone fan at the key in his pocket, "Exchange all of them."

"Full replacement? It will take time and effort to change it all. After ten days, I will go to the southwest. It's not impossible to recover!" Shu Huai was surprised.

Shen was silent and waved his fan.

Shuhuai didn't dare to ask any more questions, he couldn't figure out what the adults were thinking, and he didn't dare to disobey them.

……

Ran Niang was holding an incense stick in her hand, and she was sitting in the study reading a Book of Songs, when suddenly the door was pushed open, she hurriedly put the incense in the book, looked up, but no one came in, she said: "Yes who?"

The little boy is very self-protective, afraid of offending the nobleman.

Hearing this, he revealed half of his face, looked inside the room, and saw a quiet woman, then he felt relieved, and walked out from behind the door, "Go back to Madam, villain Achazi."

"Ah...you are that little book boy, why are you so young?" Ran Niang smiled, Achazi felt the surroundings warm up, Ran Niang asked: "Why didn't you go to the Imperial College with your lord today?"

"My lord said that tonight, Shangshu will hold a banquet. My children's family, don't go to that kind of frowning and sensual place, lest you learn those flattering things and lose your spine."

Ran Niang seemed to be relieved, and touched the little boy's forehead lovingly, "My lord really cares about you, and I will feel relieved to have you around in the future."

These words were ordinary, but the woman's tone made Achazi's heart skip a beat, as if she was sad.

"Ma'am, this statement is solemn. Your lord has shown a kindness to this villain, and this villain will repay you with a straw ring..."

Achazi felt a bit like a little ghost when he said this, his black eyes kept rolling, and Ran Niang couldn't help pinching his face, if she wasn't newly married and became a widow not long ago, she wanted to have a child It should be this big.

"How old are you?"

Achazi said, "It's fourteen."

Ran Niang was surprised, "You are so small with a bun, I think you are only eight or nine years old..."

Achazi lowered his eyes, "Grandma only taught me to tie buns..."

Ran Niang pinched his bun-like face, then stretched out her hand and climbed to the red rope of his bun, and with a light twitch, the blue and yellow hair fell down, "When you grow up, you will wear a crown with your hair tied up. Otherwise, after a few days, the Imperial College will tell you that the master will scold you for being disheveled."

Ran Niang skillfully pointed at her like flying, and taught him how to tie his hair. Achazi was clever and ingenious, and followed him twice, and it looked like he had tied it up.

Ran Niang said that in the end she pulled out a magnolia hairpin from her hair, held Achazi's hand and inserted it into his hair, supported his little head, and let him look at the bronze mirror, "Look, it's all right now." He's a little gentleman."

Achazi looked at himself reflected in the dim yellow mirror, and at that moment he took off his childishness and became a bit like a man by the riverside, and suddenly his eyes were all red...

Ran Niang asked him puzzled, "What's wrong?"

Achazi suddenly turned around and threw himself into her arms, crying softly, "I... If I... If I have a mother... Will you tie my hair for me today..."

Ran Niang had a sore nose, patted him on the back, and said softly: "Yes, I can comb it better than this."

It took a long time for Achazi to recover, and he looked at Ran Niang with some dependence. He knelt down and kowtowed, "Thank you Madam for teaching me to tie my hair. Achazi will definitely remember this feeling for life."

Ran Niang still looked at him tenderly.

I said in my heart, I want to thank you, thank you for fulfilling my regret.

"If you really want to thank me, how about doing me a favor?" Ran Niang said.

Achazi did his part, "Madam, just give orders."

Ran Niang put her hand on the page of the book, took out the incense stick and handed it to Achazi, "When you see your lord tomorrow, give this to him for me."

Achazi agreed, but he didn't know what kind of busy it was, so he asked childishly, "Madam, do you have something to say?"

Ran Niang thought about it, and whispered to him two or three times.

……

Chang Shangshu's feast of flowing wine and water is really a wine pond meat forest. Although he is a teacher of Song Ge, he is flamboyant and shows off. bit?

But he has two magical skills, one is loyalty to the emperor, and the other is flexibility.

If someone says that they don't see how loyal Chang Shangshu is to the emperor, then you don't know the family motto of the Chang family - the emperor wants his ministers to die, and the ministers have to die.

Three generations of Changshang calligraphers have sacrificed their lives for the country, but he was born as an only son and a dou who couldn't support him. His father was so angry that he wanted to send him to the palace to be a eunuch, but he was stopped by the first emperor. I have loved rites and music since I was a child, and I have extensive knowledge. Why don't you come to the Ministry of Rites and try it.

Chang Shangshu narrowly escaped from the dead, he was determined to become stronger, and he liked to have fun since he was a child, and he had never seen any rare treasures before, and he made a lot of mistakes in the Ministry of Rites.

These two are even more interesting. For example, at the celebration banquet, Shen gave his daughter such a humiliation. As an ordinary person, he would have been at odds with each other long ago. Instead, he became, "Oh, I don't know Mr. Shen and Lord Hou. There is also this relationship, how offended I was in the past, tonight the old man is having a banquet, Mr. Shen is not allowed to come!"

He hooked Shen Shi's shoulder again, and said with a hey smile: "If Master Shen can bring Lord Hou here together, then this old man will definitely thank Master Shen!"

This matter is embarrassing, but wonderful, if he avoids talking about it, it will make others laugh even more.But if he and Master Hou Shen knew each other, it would be confusing and difficult to say much.

Shen Shi also knew his wishful thinking, so he deliberately said: "Shangshu has good intentions, but Lord Hou ordered the officials to find a treasure today, and it is really difficult to get away..."

Chang Shangshu is imperative, "Master Shen, just say it, there is no treasure in the world that this old man has never seen."

"Master Shangshu is willing to help, that would be the best." Shen Shi said, "Master Hou said that he wants the drinking cup for poetic fairy Li Taibai."

"...This really stumps the old man."

Shen Shi sighed, "That's right, Lanling's fine wine and tulips, the jade bowl filled with amber light. My lord said, where can I find a jade bowl that can hold amber light..."

Chang Shangshu clapped his hands fiercely, "Yes! Yes!"

Shen was overjoyed, "Have you seen it before, my lord?"

Chang Shangshu was obviously very excited, he finally found the time to show off his possessions, "Does Master Shen know that there is a kind of wine in the Western Regions that can only be drunk at night?"

"Unheard of..."

Chang Shangshu raised his head slightly, squinting his eyes, like a proud old peacock, "This is not the most special thing, the most special thing is that this wine will shine."

Shen was surprised.

"I'm not talented, but I happen to have such an altar. Master Shen will know it when he goes to the banquet tonight."

Shen was in a dilemma, "But I still want to find the jade bowl..."

Chang Shangshu patted him on the back, "Master Shen, why don't you understand? There is no luminous wine in the world, it is naturally a luminous vessel. You bring Lord Hou here tonight, and I will show you what jade is. The bowl is filled with amber light."

Shen was stunned, "Ah... the lord is talking about the luminous cup?!"

"Shh."

"Isn't this lost from the previous dynasty..."

Chang Shangshu smiled meaningfully.

Shen cupped his hands, "The next official will arrive on time tonight."

……

"Lord Hou, Mr. Shen is asking to see you." A Liang knocked lightly on the study door.

Liu Changze raised his eyes, and before he could make a sound, he saw Shen Shi jumping in.

Liu Changze: "..."

The more outrageous it is.

"What's the matter?" Liu Changze continued to look at the mansion newspaper in his hand.

Shen Shi used the jade bone fan to suppress his mansion, staring at him with hidden starlight in his eyes, and his nostrils were stained with a thin layer of sweat due to the heat.

Liu Changze suppressed the sweat that had been wiped away with his hand, "Get out if you don't say anything."

Shen Shi smiled suddenly, "Master Hou, I found the Jiuxian's cup."

Liu Changze's heart moved, but he said, "What does it have to do with me?"

Shen Shi pretended to be disappointed and shook his head, "That's really a pity. It is said that Mrs. Fu dreamed of seeing the amber light in his dream, and he couldn't get it after several trips to foreign countries..."

Shen Shi walked away while talking, "Alas... It seems that only the lower officials can feast their eyes on it."

Shen Shi stepped outside the study room, and when he was about to disappear, he only heard, "Where is it?"

He secretly laughed, but he didn't dare to show anything on his face, for fear of offending Lord Hou, "Xu Shichang Shangshu Mansion, waiting for Lord Hou to drive."
