Sheng Shian

Liu Changze disliked the melon seeds in his mansion, knocked one, put them all back, and patted the ashes on his hands, "On the contrary, the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty were busy disregarding the case, even Song Ge Everyone shuts the door and sees no visitors. He is the only one who dares to remonstrate on New Year's Eve and stand up for his classmates, just like Li Ge's previous gesture of pleading for your life..."

Shen Shi dropped the melon seed shell that had been stuck in his hand for a long time.

The pattern of the three-point pile of melon seeds suddenly became clear.

Liu Changze turned sideways, stared at him with black eyes and said, "Li is backed by Mr. Song Ge in this case, who is he? How dare you predict that this case will be overturned? Mr. Shen, you really do everything you can..."

Shen Shi packed the table full of messy melon seed shells into an empty box, and asked, "What did the Holy Majesty seal him?"

Liu Changze glanced at his movements, the familiar pose made his face much calmer, and his tone was not as harsh as before, "Secretary Lang who drafted the edict."

"Near minister..." Shen Shi smiled lightly, like a lotus in a clear pool that cannot withstand the cool breeze.

"It really is you..."

Liu Changze snorted bitterly, remembering that Shen Shiri had gone to Wenfu.

Shen didn't make any excuses, and took a white jade cake from the side and put it in front of Liu Changze, "Master Hou's family banquet left early, I'm afraid he didn't eat anything, why don't we have some snacks first?"

"I haven't finished the accounts yet, Master Shen, why did you change the subject?" Seeing the sweets, Liu Changze not only lost his appetite, but even made his stomach even more nauseated.

Shen thought that the matter of the Zhima official was worth Liu Changze's personal visit, what kind of account was there, but he just wanted to come to Shen's residence to meet someone on New Year's Eve.

If you can't see it, it's good to see a substitute.

Shen Shi looked at his own reflection in his pupils.

If you like it so much, why don't you go find him?

Shen Shi's brows and eyes gradually raised, and Liu Changze was inexplicably angry. He really gave the other party a face, and dared to show face to him.

Liu Changze was about to explode.

"I didn't." Shen Shi said softly.

He did not persuade Wentong to plead for Li Yunfu.

Liu Changze couldn't deny it, remembering the diarrhea incident before the deadline of the Imperial Academy: "He has the backbone, will he do the business of prescribing medicine?"

"So it's him..." Shen Shi lowered his eyes, his long eyelashes drooping.

Liu Changze's heart twitched, and he felt more and more that Shen was stupid, surrounded by a bunch of wolves, eager to build bridges and roads for others, he sternly said: "He has such a bad reputation, but Yushitai has no reason to impeach him." Admonishment, he can still be promoted in a row, he is really a fool not to doubt him!"

Yushitai, Liu Mi seems to be the official Yushitai, Shen is suddenly enlightened.

"What Hou Ye said is true." Shen Shi forced a smile.

It's not that he didn't doubt it, but he was more or less unwilling to believe it.

Liu Changze was very dissatisfied with his perfunctory tone, stood up, walked in front of him, and ordered him, "You look up."

Shen Shi raised his head and looked up at him with fluttering eyelashes.

"Don't blink, it's annoying to watch."

Shen Shi obediently looked at him without moving.

Liu Changze moved his nose slightly, and said with a sullen face, "Take out the token."

Shen Shi's hands trembled: "Master Hou..."

"Stop talking nonsense, take it out!" Liu Changze said.

Shen listened to his tough attitude, and planned to take it out first, and then wait for the opportunity.

He spread out one hand in front of him, and seeing Liu Changze stretching out his hand, he clenched it tightly, searching for a reason to keep it.

Unexpectedly, Liu Changze just nodded with his fingertips, and said arrogantly: "There is nothing in the world that I can't handle, you have the token of my Marquis Mansion, don't pretend to be a doormat, and throw me away!" s face."

Shen was blank for a moment.

Is Liu Changze asking him to take revenge?

Shen exhausted his whole life to maintain the facial muscles. He didn't know whether to laugh or be grateful at this moment, so he said without changing his expression, "Xiaguan understands."

But his heart trembled with warmth, and his shoulders shivered while holding back the smile.

Shen felt that he would be able to break the power in the next second.

Liu Changze still has such a protective side.

Careless.

Kind of cute.

Liu Changze pressed his shoulders and scolded, "What do you look like shaking your body and tail!"

With this press, Shen Shi's smile was completely suppressed.Liu Changze's big hand almost completely wrapped one shoulder of his. The scorching temperature of the young man was transmitted to his skin through the fabric, and Shen Shi's heartbeat suddenly accelerated.

He whispered, "Yes."

Before Liu Changze let go, he stared at Shen Shi like a falcon.

He was tall and straight, and he supported it with one hand. The invisible power made Shen Shi a little breathless.

Unable to bear it, Shen Shi turned his head and saw the plate of white jade cake, as if he had found a vent, he immediately picked up the blue and white porcelain plate, and said evasively: "The people in the family have finally had a rest for a day, and the style of putting it out is not good. Many, please also ask Lord Hou to break the festival and give it a try."

Liu Changze frowned and looked at the white jade cake he was holding, which was softly wrapped in a layer of coconut powder, looking very hard to swallow, let go of his hand, took a few steps back and said, "I'll send it over. "

"Ok?"

Shen was stunned for a moment before realizing that he was talking about Li Yunfu, but he never worried about Liu Changze's promise, so he replied calmly, "Thank you, Lord Hou."

Liu Changze thought about his eagerness to beg for himself yesterday, in stark contrast to this bland reaction, and thought that he hadn't recovered from being betrayed by his classmates.

Liu Changze shook his head contemptuously, it was really useless...

Then, I condescendingly stretched out my hand and grabbed a piece of white jade cake.

Shen Shi looked at him suddenly, as if looking forward to it.

Liu Changze ate it with a straight face.

Shen's mood suddenly brightened, and he knew that Liu Changze's family banquet this year must have shown his face and left without eating anything.

Seeing Liu Changze swallowed a piece, he smiled and said, "Master Hou, don't worry, there are still a lot."

"Don't push yourself too far." Liu Changze left with his sleeves flung.

Shen Shi hurriedly got up to see him off, but was glared at by Liu Changze. He didn't know where he had offended Liu Changze again.

Liu Changze walked with big strides and walked with wind. As soon as Shen Shi came out of the hall, he was basically caught blind and followed him without saying a word.

Fortunately, the road is not long, and it is a familiar place, so I didn't bump into it.

He heard Liu Changze get into the carriage and bowed to see him off.

Suddenly someone came down with a bright lamp, walked up to him and said, "My lord, Lord Hou asked me to bring it to you, please walk slowly on the road."

Shen couldn't see clearly, but he felt that the light suddenly became solid and burned on his hands.

He stopped in a low voice, "Ah Liang."

Ah Liang was going to drive a horse, but when he was called, he turned around and asked, "When will your lord order?"

Shen Shi pinched the handle of the lamp and said, "Master Hou, I probably won't be using dinner, I can prepare some when I go back..."

A Liang said, "Yes."

Shen Shi pursed his lower lip.

Ah Liang felt that the movements were very familiar, so he asked, "Is there anything else you want to say, my lord?"

Shen Shi took two steps closer, hesitantly, and said softly, "I want to ask... Where is the person that Lord Hou likes now?"

A Liang was stunned for a moment, his expression was a little desolate, he sighed and said, "Passed away."

"Is that so..." Shen Shi said.

No wonder coming here on New Year's Eve.

There were many emotions in Shen's heart at once, distressed, sad, and a little secret happiness, it was difficult to distinguish.

Shen saluted, as if he had nothing to say.

A Liang returned the gift, and drove away directly.

……

Today's family banquet, Liu's mansion was crowded and noisy, Jiang Tu toasted Liu Yuanxuan and said: "Father-in-law's move is really good, but it's a pity that Li Jishi's talent, such a beautiful water control map, can be used by me. The Ministry of Works will be fine."

Liu Yuanxuan held up the bottle, looked at the color of the tribute wine inside, and shook his head, "I blame him for following the wrong teacher."

Jiang Tu looked at Liu Mi with a smile and said, "At any rate, I'm from the same school as Master Mi Er."

Liu Yuanxuan raised his eyebrows and glanced at him, "You want to protect him?"

Jiang Tu graciously took a piece of the most delicious puffer fish meat to Liu Yuanxuan and said: "I made my father-in-law laugh. Now that Confucianism is everywhere, there are very few people who can understand geography and humanities. Most of the people in our Ministry of Industry are just fake fish. It's a pity. pity."

"Cutting the grass does not remove the roots, and the spring breeze blows and regenerates. This man, Li, can't be kept..." Liu Yuanxuan drank the wine in his glass in one gulp.

Literati look down on each other, if it is only a little higher, it must be life and death.If it is a lot taller, you will admire, worship, and want to use it for yourself.

And Li Yunfu's talent is such a great talent. If Jiang Tu saw Li Yunfu die, it would be like letting Bole see Qian Lima die.

Jiang Tu sighed regretfully.

"To stay."

A low hoarse voice interrupted Jiang Tu's thoughts.

He looked at the people who came, and it turned out that it was Liu Mi who came over.

Jiang Tu was a little overjoyed. Liu Mi was the person who was the closest to Liu Yuanxuan, with outstanding intelligence. He said he wanted to stay, but basically he had to stay.

Liu Yuanxuan stroked his gray beard and asked, "How can you see that?"

Liu Mi said: "This morning, there was an attendant in the Imperial Academy who advised Li to rectify his name. His Majesty was moved by his unfollowing power, his willingness to give charcoal in every situation, and his utter devotion, so he accepted him as Secretary Lang."

Jiang Tu poured two cups and said, "It's true."

Liu Yuanxuan took a sip slowly, rolled his cloudy eyes, and straightened up suddenly, "Oops, hurry up and ask the Ministry of Industry to retract the confession."

"I've already made arrangements." Liu Mi said.

Liu Yuanxuan leaned loosely on the chair again, with a relaxed expression.

Jiang Tu asked in puzzlement, "Is there any relationship between the two?"

Liu Mi smiled, "Of course there is. How could the Holy Majesty accept a person who pleaded for the life of a guilty minister as a close minister? There must be some solid evidence."

Jiang Tu looked nervous, "Then us?"

"You are too impetuous." Liu Yuanxuan gave him a glass of wine: "Drink two more glasses and calm down."

……

On the first day of the 14th year of Xianhe, Liu Changze went to the palace to meet the queen mother. Concubine Xiao sat beside the queen mother, looking very close to the queen mother.

The three-year-old eldest prince Lin'er saw Liu Changze for the first time, and was very excited to play with him, "Brother..."

Liu Changze ignored him with a sullen face, and let his little hands scratch around the hem of his clothes.

This is probably Quan Daqi, the only one who dares to ignore the eldest prince Lin'er.

Lin'er became even more energetic, pinching the jade pendant around her waist, and reaching into Liu Changze's hand: "Concubine mother... jade... elder brother to... elder brother..."

Liu Changze felt that it was too noisy, so he took his jade and stuffed it into his collar.

Lin'er couldn't find the jade, and kept feeling around her chest. When she couldn't find it, she jumped up and down, but finally no jade came out, and burst into tears.

"Yu... wow... no... no see... wow..."

Liu Changze felt that it was getting louder, so he took out the jade and stuffed it in his hand.

The eldest prince Lin'er smiled when he saw Yu, and opened his arms to embrace Liu Changze.

Liu Changze's face turned green, he grabbed his arms in disgust, pulled him far away, and threw him into Concubine Xiao's arms.

Lin'er struggled to get out, mumbling: "Brother... hug... brother..."

Liu Changze felt that this gadget was more annoying than Shen Shi.

Concubine Xiao and the Empress Dowager laughed so hard that their stomachs ached, and the Empress Dowager said out of breath, "This is my elder brother, he is now an uncle."

Concubine Xiao Gui said: "It's strange that the minister and concubine didn't teach well, they lost their etiquette..."

The Queen Mother interrupted: "Children are not in the way."

Then he became sad: "Speaking of which, Nagasawa is in his twenties, when can I add a younger brother to my Lin'er?"

Liu Changze cupped his hands vigilantly and said, "A teacher for a day, a father for life. After the death of the Taifu, I should observe the funeral according to the etiquette, and dare not talk about marriage."

The Empress Dowager turned cold and patted the table: "Parents Ding You only lived for three years, now that three years have passed, how long will you use this as an excuse?"

The sound of the table was very soft, but it hit Liu Changze's heart hard.

It turned out that three years had passed.
