Sheng Shian

Li Yunfu looked at him in a daze.

Xiao Jibei patted the center of his frowning brows with one hand: "What are you thinking about? You have returned to your soul! The so-called soldiers come to cover you up with water and earth, you are so sad all day long, and you are prone to short life."

Li Yunfu numbly touched his forehead. Xiao Jibei treated him as a close friend, but he was suspicious of the other party's close relatives. He really had nothing to do with his face. He asked frankly: "Jibei, do you know why General Xiao is in January? Come and only defend but not attack, and let the pirates run rampant?"

Xiao Jibei rarely fell into confusion and said: "I also asked about this matter, he said it is a secret in the army, let me do the position of Deputy Capital Yang and then ask him..."

"Military secrets, too..." Li Yunfu nodded, thought for a while and then asked, "Why are you asking?"

"It's a little weird."

"Why?"

"Generals, wisdom, faith, benevolence, courage, and strictness. Although my father has always worshiped wisdom as the leader, and mostly kept the same to respond to all changes, he never stayed still for a month and allowed the Japanese pirates to be arrogant. Damage to morale."

Then Xiao Jibei hooked Li Yunfu's neck mysteriously, and whispered into his ear: "But you don't have to worry..."

The hot air he exhaled penetrated into Li Yunfu's ears and came back again. Xiao Jibei's face turned red, and he turned his face away and said, "My father has a golden knife and an iron horse, sweeping Jiangbei, and he has never lost in this life! And... ..."

"And what?" Li Yunfu turned his head and asked a little anxiously, the part of his lips that was peeling happened to pass across the side of his face.

Li Yunfu's breathing was stagnant, and even the fine hairs on his face could be seen, and he felt palpitations for a moment.

Xiao Jibei let go of his hand unnaturally, and then the two brothers clasped his shoulders to cover up and said: "And I sneaked to the camp to see, my father seems to be practicing a new formation, the first four For the last three, the front walker is responsible for stabbing, the last three cut off their heads to protect them, and when they are tired, the latter will take over, and the offense and defense are seamless. According to my years of experience with the battalion, this move is a clever trick specially used to defeat the Japanese pirates."

Xiao Jibei poked the corner of his mouth with one hand and tugged, and with a difficult smile, he said with bright eyes, "Luojiang is definitely fine."

Li Yunfu thought about it for a while, and couldn't help but smiled happily. He knew that General Xiao must have a backup, and he would not ignore the people: "It's good, it's good!"

Seeing him smirking like this, Xiao Jibei also laughed and said, "You haven't told me what to draw yet?"

Only then did Li Yunfu realize that he had been painting all morning, but he had only drawn a few strokes of clouds, mountains and rivers. He quickly picked up the brush and began to draw again, saying: "The Waterscape of the Luojiang River is a congratulatory gift to the Holy Majesty."

Xiao Jibei admired his writing, and before he could make a sound, he saw him trace the test pen rice paper with a pen, and on that paper was a gentle man with a jade crown...

Xiao Jibei took two steps forward, grabbed it, and said angrily, "Who is this?"

Li Yunfu was so preoccupied that he forgot about it. He didn't expect to be discovered by him. He turned his head away in embarrassment, hoping that he wouldn't see it: "Yes...it's my colleague in the capital..."

When Xiao Jibei saw him dodging like this, he became even more angry, but there was no reason.

He draws a colleague to hide why he hides, no one paints a landscape painting as a colleague, who is fooling!

Xiao Jibei looked at the picture of a weak scholar in his hand with composure and said: "Since he is a colleague drawn by Yun Fu Neng, he is also a gentleman of Zhilan Yushu, why don't you introduce it to me?"

Seeing that he hadn't noticed, Li Yunfu calmed down and chatted with him about the person in the painting: "This person is Shen Shi, the Shaoqing of Dali Temple. He was the number one scholar in my class. His intelligence is far above mine. It is you." The water control map of the canal is full of praise, without his help, I would definitely not be able to draw it..."

Li Yunfu revealed a look of admiration while talking, while Xiao Jibei's canine teeth were almost worn out, and he squeezed out two words: "Really."

Seeing his response, Li Yunfu spoke even more vigorously: "Brother Shen is not only dignified and upright, he is proud of the snow and frost, and he also acts extremely vigorously. In just one year, he punished Chongming, settled unjust cases, abolished the ritual system, and rescued me many times. In danger..."

The temperature within three feet of Xiao Jibei was as low as zero, but Li Yunfu, a wooden head, couldn't notice it at all. Anyway, he was trying very hard to praise Shen Shi, and seemed to hope that Xiao Jibei would like him.

Li Yun Fuguang said that it wasn't enough, and even started pointing fingers: "Brother Shen is a man of high moral character, hidden like a mountain, he is a rare friend and mentor..."

"Is it over?!"

Finally, Xiao Jibei couldn't help but crumpled the rice paper in his hand, and said with a sneer, "If you wait for me for three years, what will happen to him!"

Xiao Jibei took the imperial examination three years later.

Li Yunfu thought that his competitive spirit had revived. He smiled and added two golden ripples, and said: "Wen Wu is the first, you and Shen Shi brothers have their own merits, so why bother to be high-ranking and widowed? Wait until you enter the Imperial Academy Courtyard, I will hold a banquet for you two to have fun with wine, recite poems about the bright moon, and sing chapters about gracefulness."

"Who cares about the Hanlin Academy! Even Sangong, I won't say anything!" Xiao Jibei glared at him, and angrily bumped into his shoulder and left.

Knowing his arrogance, Li Yunfu opened his mouth, feeling that he had nothing to say. He actually liked Xiao Jibei's youthful and frivolous appearance.

Xiao Jibei was still very angry when he walked to the door, so he said in a loud voice for fear that no one would hear him: "Li Yunfu, listen carefully, no one is worthy to compare with me!"

He looked back unwillingly, Li Yunfu was still painting, his forehead twitched in anger, and he threw out the crumpled waste drawing paper in his hand.

The paper hit the tree and bounced back, about two meters away from him.But the Luojiang Pass was damp, and the paper saw that it was stained with the wet river water on the ground, and gradually became half wet.

Xiao Jibei stared at it and wished he could burn it, but he picked it up again and stuffed it into his sleeve.

Shen is, sooner or later he will have to see what a great person he is.

……

It's the day, in the Royal Study Room.

Emperor Chengming was grading papers, and Wen Tong was sitting by the case. He suddenly found that the pen was missing, and he was a little anxious. Eunuch Lu went up to inquire, and when he found out, he took him out to pick up the pen.

When he was going out, he happened to see Shen Shi coming in, routinely reporting the progress of the little prince's ceremony.

Wentong suddenly realized that since Shen Shi came to report half a month ago, after listening to Yuxuan in the northwest corner, the number of people waiting in the imperial study has gradually decreased, and today there are even only Eunuch Lu and himself...

Although he said he was praying for Luo Jiang, Wen Tong became suspicious at this moment.

He followed Lu An through a long corridor with glazed roofs, colorful paintings and carved buildings, and looked at a palace and asked tentatively: "Eunuch Lu, I am worried that the Holy Majesty will wait for a long time, why don't you take it at will in the inner mansion?" It's fine."

Eunuch Lu laughed and said, "Wen Hanlin is such a character, how can he use those servants' things."

Wen Tong said this with peace of mind. Normally, he must have been confused, but when it came to Shen Shi, he was much more sober.

In the final analysis, he is just a green-robed official, even if Eunuch Lu can't flatter Shen Shaoqing, why bother to compliment him...

When Wen Tong took the pen, Shen Shi was talking about the little prince's funny stories, laughing with Emperor Cheng Ming.

Wen Tong raised his pen to moisten the ink, looking at the two people chatting happily in the room, he felt a little strange. He remembered that when he saw Shengyan for the first time, he even trembled with excitement, and now that he faced each other day and night, he still didn't dare to raise his head and speak loudly.

And Shen is very natural. Although he is well-mannered, his naturalness is as familiar as an old friend. For example, Emperor Chengming's face was so frightened that the whole audience was too scared to make a sound, and he still dared to continue joking, as if he knew the Holy Majesty was right. It's just a cooperating joke.

After Shen Shi resigned, Emperor Chengming dictated a note about the flood. While he was conscientiously writing, Emperor Chengming stopped suddenly.

Walking around the room, he took a copy of Shen Shi's memorial and put it in front of Wen Tong and asked, "Wen Hanlin can tell, what kind of ink is this?"

Wen Tong looked at the man who had been his classmate for three years, his handwriting was completely different, and he couldn't help but think of the pile of documents asking for the establishment of the Imperial Academy, which was overturned in the imperial study, and the copybook of "Teacher Shen" mixed in it.

Shen Shi's characters, Shen Taifu's characters...

Maybe he should go to the Hanlin Academy to see the posthumous writings of Mrs. Fu.

He narrowed his eyes and said, "It's Huimo, my lord."

Emperor Chengming took a deep breath, and said with nostalgia: "Agarwood, Huimo, handwriting, and tone, this Shen Shaoqing is not only a student of Taifu, but also a descendant, I believe it."

Wentong bowed his head.

Emperor Chengming smiled: "No wonder I hit it off with Lord Hou..."

The words seemed to have deep meaning, Wen Tong nodded in agreement, not daring to say more.

Emperor Chengming walked up to the case and took out a silver hairpin from the red sandalwood drawer. It was the hairpin that Liu Changze asked Song Zhili to give to Song Zhili on New Year's Eve. He looked at it and said, "It's easy to find a priceless treasure, but it's rare to have a lover. I have also heard a little about Dengke getting married..."

Wen Tong was stunned. He didn't know what Emperor Chengming meant by mentioning this matter. If he pursued it, he had a bad style and could take off the black gauze at any time...

He immediately knelt down and said: "My lord, I have committed a crime. But a gentleman's most important thing is to drink water and think about the source, and to repay the kindness. The minister's family is poor, and he went to Beijing alone to rush for the exam. There are already very few money left. Winning the gold medal is already starving."

"An ungrateful person is not kind to an official." Although it was a sufficient reason, Emperor Chengming lost interest in this way, and he asked: "So, Wen Hanlin is kind?"

Hearing this, Wen Tong felt that the Holy Majesty was not looking for responsibility, his eyes turned red, he shook his head and said: "I dare not deceive the emperor, although there is kindness, it is more infatuation."

Emperor Chengming raised his head and asked thoughtfully: "A gentleman's ambition is everywhere, but Wen Hanlin is concerned about his children's personal relationship?"

Wen Tong cupped his hands solemnly and said: "I feel ashamed of my lord, but I don't regret it."

Emperor Chengming raised his eyebrows and asked: "At the court banquet the day before yesterday, Chang Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites praised you very much, and even joked with me that he wanted you to be the son-in-law of Chenglong Kuai. If you are interested, I can propose a marriage for you."

Now that Wen Tong is a close minister of the emperor, as for the widow rumors before, it is not worth mentioning. No one has taken a concubine yet, let alone the emperor's relatives, no one dares to say a word.

With just one step, you can climb the ladder of Shangshu.

"I have no intention." Wen Tong said without hesitation: "The weak water is three thousand, just take a ladle to drink."

Emperor Chengming's face darkened: "You don't want to."

Even the disobedience of Lord Hou made the king suspicious, let alone a small Hanlin.

With trembling shoulders, Wen Tong still said, "I don't want to."

Emperor Chengming snorted coldly, and even Eunuch Lu became nervous. He said coldly, "You don't regret it?"

"I don't regret it!"

"Lu An!" Emperor Chengming glanced at a picture of a guillotine-like figure.

Lu An hurried over from the side in a panic and said, "What is your order?"

Wen Tong swallowed, but straightened his back.

Emperor Chengming laughed out loud: "A sage forgets his love, and the worst thing is not to be as good as it is. But the thing that loves is my generation. Wen Hanlin's affection is really well-deserved, and I am quite moved."

Wen Tong's whole body instantly went limp, feeling like he was alive after a catastrophe.

"Get up." Emperor Chengming stretched out the hairpin in his hand, and Eunuch Lu took it immediately. He said, "Send it to the Wenfu, and I will add gold and jade to this good relationship."

Even the emperor talked about a golden and jade marriage, who would dare to criticize it.

Wen Tong was moved to tears, the marriage between him and Ran Niang finally had no grievances, finally achieved good results, and was finally recognized by the world.

"Thank you Lord Ron!"
