Jinyiwei work report

Song Yingbai stared at the hollow silver smoked ball hanging above his head.

When he opened his eyes, he could see the silver ball blurry and swaying, but after about a quarter of an hour, it became clearer and clearer, which meant that he was fully awake.

However, here comes the problem, he doesn't remember hanging this thing above his bed, where is he now?

The last thing he remembered was...meeting Li Zhen...and being carried downstairs.

No way, could it be that he was sent back to his small courtyard, just when his uncle moved, so he moved him to the new mansion?

Because he noticed that the materials of the bedding and the furnishings in the tent were luxurious, at least he was a wealthy official family.

When it's over, my uncle wants to ask himself why he is drunk, will he suspect that he is not satisfied with the adoption?

Thinking of this, the brain started to hurt, Song Yingbai rubbed his temples, sat up slowly, "Come here."

Drunkenness is bad, it not only hurts the body but also delays the business, he promises, this is definitely the last time to get drunk.

"Young Master Song, are you awake?" At this time, a little maid smiled and opened the curtain of the bed, and called the others while holding the curtains, "Young Master is awake, bring some tea quickly."

Soon another servant girl came in with tea and offered it to Song Yingbai with both hands, "Use it slowly."

Song Yingbai didn't know these two maids at all, and he called himself Mr. Song, so he must not be at his uncle's house. If it was his uncle's new house, the servants inside would be called Young Master, not the heretic Mr. Song.

He had a bad premonition, "...your master is Li Qian's business?"

The maid serving tea nodded, "Yes, this is Duke Jing's Mansion."

Song Yingbai was sober that he didn't drink tea, otherwise he would have choked to death, "Where is Lord Li now?"

"He went to the Yamen and hasn't come back yet." The servant girl said.

Song Yingbai looked out the window, and sure enough it was not evening yet.

If you don't run now, when will you wait?Song Yingbai hurriedly bent down and took the boots next to the pedals, stepped on them and walked out, "Tell your young master, I will take my leave first."

At this time, the two maidservants rushed to catch up, "Mr. Song, please stay a little longer. The old man told you that if you wake up, he will ask you to come over. He wants to see you."

"..." Song Yingbai's escape plan had to be put on hold. The other party was the Duke and an elder, so he had to leave without saying goodbye. He stabilized his mind, "So the old Duke is in the mansion, so hurry up and take me there, I have to pay his respects to the old man."

The two servant girls looked at each other and smiled, "I'll take you there." As they spoke, they led the way.

And Song Yingbai picked up the tea he didn't drink just now, drank it in one gulp, and said with a sigh, "Okay, let's go."

The old man had led soldiers and made military exploits when he was young.With longing for the soldiers, Song Yingbai stepped into the courtyard where the old man was uneasy.

After getting the notification and entering, I saw a thin old man with a gray beard sitting behind a table, lowering his head and carefully wiping a precious knife.

Song Yingbai bowed and said: "Junior Song Yingbai pays homage to the Duke."

Duke Jing raised his head when he heard the words, took a look at Song Yingbai, then put down the things in his hands, got up and came to him, and looked him up and down.

Song Yingbai boldly raised his eyes to meet the eyes of the old man, and found that the way the other party looked at him was very strange.

That's right, it's strange. When he entered the zoo for the first time when he was a child, he seemed to have this kind of eyes when he saw a giant panda, full of curiosity and joy.

Duke Jing looked at him as if looking at a rare animal, and Song Yingbai was secretly sweating.

Duke Jing nodded slowly, as if quite satisfied, "You are our Zhen'er's friend, I haven't seen him get close to anyone in so many years, I have to take a closer look at you."

Song Yingbai immediately refuted the rumors, "Master Li is the superior of the younger generation, and the younger generation dare not climb high."

After hearing this, Duke Jing twitched his brows, revealing an uncontrollable expression.

Song Yingbai didn't know what was funny about him, and when he was wondering, he heard the servant girl call "Master." Then Li Zhen walked in hurriedly, and asked Song Yingbai directly, "Are you sober?"

Before Song Yingbai could speak, Duke Jing suddenly gloated and said with a gleeful smile: "Zhen'er, he just said that he is not your friend."

"..." Li Zhen glanced at Song Yingbai, and said, "Grandfather, we still have something to talk about, so we will leave first." After speaking, he winked at Song Yingbai, "Come with me."

Song Yingbai hurriedly paid homage to the old Duke, and retreated with Li Zhen.

The two walked out along the corridor, and Song Yingbai walked behind Li Zhen, feeling more and more regretful about what he did at the beginning. He should never have done it, and most of all he should not have been drinking, and was caught by Li Zhen.

Li Zhen glanced sideways at Song Yingbai. Seriously, he was stabbed by his grandfather's words just now. Although his grandfather liked to make fun of him, he would not lie. The words "not a friend" must have been said by Song Yingbai himself.

He had previously said that there was a fateful friendship between the two of them, but he changed his mind in a blink of an eye. He also said that he was moody, and he thought he was similar.

But whoever told him that he was sorry for Song Yingbai first, and maybe Song Yingbai said it casually in order to deal with his grandfather. They should still be friends, so they stopped and turned around, wanting to have a word with him.

Song Yingbai didn't want Song Yingbai to walk forward because he had something on his mind, and bumped into Li Zhen just like that.

"Is the wine still awake?"

"Wake up, wake up." Song Yingbai said: "I've woken up a long time ago, thank you Master Li for letting me sober up."

Li Zhen felt that this was a good time, so he raised his hand and patted Song Yingbai's shoulder, and smiled politely: "It's okay, who made us friends."

Eh?After a meal of wine, they became friends again?A few days ago, they were cold-eyed at him and pulled his collar frequently. In a blink of an eye, the two reconciled a lot, and even upgraded to become friends.

Song Yingbai glanced at the hand on his shoulder, and then at Li Zhen who had a sincere smile on his face. To be honest, Li Zhen smiled very nicely, but at the moment he didn't dare to enjoy this smile, he just felt His head was getting bigger again, and he couldn't figure out what kind of medicine Li Zhen could sell in the gourd.

"...My lord, this can't be done..."

Unexpectedly, Li Zhen put all his arms on his shoulders, walked out with his shoulders, like the shoulder-to-shoulder posture common among friends, and smiled at him: "What can't be done, I think It's clear, from now on, the two of us will be friends, um, good friends!"

The word "friend" is accentuated, as if deliberately emphasizing it.

Forced to be friends?Have the power to do whatever you want, right?But Li Zhen's words have reached this point, and Song Yingbai couldn't refuse again without being ignorant of current affairs, so he could only say: "Since my lord is willing to praise me, I am honored to be humble."

Suddenly, he thought of something, could it be that Li Zhen found out about his uncle's recognition of himself as his son last night?

This must be the case, otherwise how could it be such a coincidence that yesterday he was adopted as the son of the servant of the household department, and Li Zhen's attitude towards him changed greatly this morning.

Is it true that only the children of officials can be friends with the children of officials?

Song Yingbai raised his eyebrows, this is one of the benefits of adoption, no wonder Li Zhen wants to be friends with him, the officialdom is really an undisguised influence.

Li Zhen frowned, "Hey, don't be a humble adult in the future, it sounds awkward."

"...Okay." Song Yingbai said obediently.

Li Zhen nodded with satisfaction, "You were drunk early in the morning, so you haven't eaten yet. I asked someone to prepare a simple meal, but there is no wine."

"...I'm afraid I won't be able to eat at the house. My elder brother came from his hometown yesterday. He will be waiting for me at home now. I have to go back."

Although Li Zhen was disappointed, there was nothing he could do, "Well, you should go back as soon as possible, and don't keep your family waiting."

"Then I'll take my leave." Song Yingbai pointed in a direction, "Is that door the way out of the mansion?"

"I'll see you off." Li Zhen took his arms away from his shoulders, and the two walked out in an orderly manner, "You drank too much today because you were worried about Concubine Zhai's affairs, I didn't expect such a side issue to happen, I should have known earlier In this way, this task will not be assigned to you. But don’t worry, I have already made a decision, let’s go to Zhai Consort’s hometown tomorrow to see if we can find anything.”

Song Yingbai was shocked, shall we?Farewell, the thought of having to be alone with Li Zhen makes his heart twitch. If he suddenly dislikes him on the way, where can he run away?

"No, if necessary, Cheng Dong and I will check it out, so I don't need to bother you."

"..." Li Zhen said: "Cheng Dongyi is just a small banner official, how can he let him investigate the son-in-law?!"

Song Yingbai didn't give up, so at least one more person would come in, "Then let Han Qianhu go with us."

Li Zhen thought for a while, "No, you're not here, he has to stay with Prince Zhai to protect him."

Song Yingbai said again: "It's better to bring another follower, someone has to serve tea and water."

"It's not like going on a trip to the mountains and rivers. Who needs someone to take care of you? You and I are not children." Li Zhen said, "That's it. After you arrive at the yamen tomorrow morning, just pack up and come to me. By the way, When you come from home, just wear casual clothes."

Song Yingbai struggled to no avail, and resigned to his fate, "Okay, I know everything." He wanted to pull his hair in his heart. He really didn't want to go out with Li Zhen alone. Although he was fine when he was not sick, once his face changed, it was worse than washing his face. Come on, he can't bear it.

Li Zhen sent him to the door and ordered the housekeeper to take him back in a carriage, but Song Yingbai resolutely refused and insisted on walking home by himself.

Li Zhen was also not good at forcing others to do her best, so she waved goodbye to him and reminded him, "Remember, come to me tomorrow morning."

Song Yingbai nodded with a smile, then turned around with a sour face, alas, the stress relieved by drinking that little wine came back in a blink of an eye.

Halfway through the journey, he suddenly remembered one thing, where did Yao Lingyao go?I remember he took it to drink, and then he was taken away by Li Zhen, so, what about the dog?

Song Yingbai ran home all the way, saw a carriage in front of his courtyard door, pushed open the courtyard door, saw Caifeng, a man, and Yao Lingyao standing on the corridor together.

Seeing him come back, Cai Feng came up to meet him first, "Master, you are back, I still wonder why it is so late today. The house has been moved, and the young master has already gone to the new house, leaving me and the coachman waiting for you to come back. "

Yao Lingyao scratched his ear with his back foot, looked at Song Yingbai indifferently, and clearly said, you have actually forgotten me.

Song Yingbai went over and patted its head, "I'm going out tomorrow, when I come back I'll buy you an almanac for you to chew on, good boy."

Hearing that Song Yingbai was going out, Yao Lingyao blinked, nodded, and stopped being awkward.

"Master, let's hurry up, the banquet over there is probably ready." Cai Feng urged with a smile.

Song Yingbai's stomach twitched, banquet?Don't you want to drink again?I'm really afraid of something.

The big house that Song Yuye bought in the capital can be described as a prime location, not far from the government office of the Ministry of Household Affairs, and the house has four entrances. Although it is far from Jing Guogong's mansion, there is also a very elegant small landscape of rockery and pools inside. Generally speaking, it is a comfortable house that is very suitable for court officials to live in.

As the young master, Song Yingbai has an honorable status and lives in the front and back yards of his father, with a similar living area.

Celebrating the move to a new home that night, they prepared good food and wine to celebrate. Song Yingbai had learned a lesson during the day and did not dare to drink too much.

Song Yuye asked strangely: "Why, are you feeling unwell?"

"No, my lord father, I have a mission tomorrow, and I'm going to another place for a few days. I'm afraid of delaying my business, so I dare not drink too much."

Song Yuye's face couldn't help becoming worried, "Actually, think about it, it's really frightening for you to do this job, alas."

Sigh, sigh, Song Yingbai has no fame, and it is basically impossible to become a civil servant. No matter who you are, if you want to be an official, you have to take an exam.

Either be a military officer, either beheading or being beheaded, in short, it is very risky, and Song Yingbai's job is also the same, either study or take risks, in short, you have to choose the same.

But Song Yuye was obviously very worried about the personal safety of the adopted Dumiaomiao, "Then you have to be very careful, and be careful in everything."

Song Yingbai hurriedly said: "Father, don't worry, I will be fine."

Song Yingfei said: "Then how many days do you have to go?"

"Brother, anyway, you have nothing to do, so you can stay with him at home now, the old man. I will be back in a few days."

Song Yingfei patted the back of his hand, "Be careful."

Song Yingbai found out that once relatives are around, they will indeed be affected, and it seems that he is not as open-minded as before.

Knowing that he had something to do tomorrow, the banquet was withdrawn early and told him to rest early.Song Yingbai slept at Li Zhen's place once, and slept in a new place, which was a little strange, so she didn't fall asleep until the middle of the night.

Song Yingbai hurriedly asked Caifeng to find casual clothes for himself, the clothes were made by Caifeng himself, they fit well and were exquisite, Song Yingbai praised: "You are good at needlework, I don't think any embroiderers in the palace can compare to you."

Caifeng was embarrassed by the praise, and went down with Song Yingbai's changed clothes, "I'll bring you breakfast."

When he left, Song Yingbai waved to Yao Lingyao who was squatting by the door, and when it came in, Song Yingbai put his arms around its neck and whispered into its ear: "When I'm not here, take a good look at the situation for me, they think you It's an ordinary dog, so it shouldn't avoid you, so be smart."

Yao Lingyao nodded with a serious expression, with a look of heavy responsibility, which made Song Yingbai almost laugh, and nodded his wet nose, "Wait for me to come back."

Yao Lingyao froze for a moment, then turned his head and looked away.

Cai Feng quickly came in with breakfast, Song Yingbai ate briefly, said goodbye to him with a smile, went to the room to say goodbye to his father and elder brother, and then went out.

He arrived at the Jinyiwei yamen with a heavy heart, and first left a note for Fang Jiamo, telling him that he was not here for the past few days and had something to discuss with Han Qianhu.

Then he came to Li Zhen's office, and after reporting, he went in to see Li Zhen.

Fortunately, Li Zhen seemed to be in a good mood today, as soon as he saw him, Li Zhen asked with a smile, "How did you sleep yesterday?"

"It's...it's okay..." Although Li Zhen was in pain when he was uncertain about him, but now he suddenly became very kind to him, and he was not quite used to it.

Li Zhen is different, now he has got rid of that heavy ideological burden, and is open from the inside to the outside.

"It doesn't matter if you didn't sleep well. The destination is not far away. Let's find a place tonight. You can catch up on sleep." Li Zhen smiled and said, "The horses are ready."

"Without a mask?"

"Uncle Zhang said he won't lend you any more." Li Zhen said, "However, we don't need this time, so let's go."

One person and one horse, they rode out of the city gate and arrived at the sparsely populated suburbs. Li Zhen looked ahead and said, "Zhai Concubine's hometown is not far away, it's only a two-day journey."

"Let's go to his hometown, what should we check first?" Song Yingbai led the horse and followed Li Zhen closely.

"I suspect that the bird you encountered was a Raksha bird."

"Raksha bird?"

"It is said that between the tombs, yin and resentment gather, and after a long time, it will turn into a rakshasa bird. It looks like a crane, but it looks a little bigger than a crane. The legendary eyeballs that love to eat people are very similar to your description. It matches. In this case, let's go to the Zhai family's ancestral grave."

So far, Li Zhen is quite normal, and Song Yingbai hopes that he can continue to maintain it, "If you look at it this way, you may find it in the Zhai family ancestral grave."

The two made a simple plan and hurried on the road. When it was almost dark, they came to a post station, showed the way, and were arranged to live in.

A short and fat postman received them. Because he was too fat and his belly was shy, it seemed that his belt was almost hanging down to his knees.

He introduced himself as Li Cai, who has been working as a courier here for ten years, and finally sighed, "You are so lucky, there is still one room left."

Song Yingbai said: "It's strange, the weather has turned cold, and even the tolerance for expatriates should be reduced. Why are the guest rooms so tight?"

Li Caixiao walked in front holding a candle, and said with a wry smile: "You two don't know, now, anyone who has a relationship with an official comes to stay, so the guest room is tight. For example, before you, when you just came I met a man and a woman, and the man's father was the governor of a certain place, and he said he wanted to live there, so we can't drive them away, alas."

Li Zhen was merciless, "Then drive them away."

Song Yingbai felt that Li Zhen could do it, and persuaded him, "When you're away from home, one more thing is worse than one less thing." He was too sleepy, and the floor was fine, so falling asleep quickly was what he wanted.

Seeing what Song Yingbai said, Li Zhen also compromised, "Just listen to you."

Song Yingbai asked Li Cai: "Should there be extra bedding?" If not, he would definitely not be able to share the bedding with Li Zhen, and he would be frozen.

"There are quilts, I'll carry them over to you later." Li Cai led them to the innermost room as soon as he spoke.

Song Yingbai pushed open the door, saw that the inside was clean and tidy, and nodded in satisfaction.

Soon, Li Cai carried another quilt. Song Yingbai saw that his short and fat body was sweating profusely from carrying these quilts, and that he had recently become rich, so he casually tipped him a small amount of money.

Li Cai was flattered, thanked him repeatedly, and went down with the money.

As soon as he left, Song Yingbai was so sleepy that his eyes were battling, he made a bed on the floor, and lay down on his stomach, "I fell asleep."

"Don't sleep on the floor. You haven't had a good rest recently. You sleep on the bed." After Li Zhen finished speaking, she grabbed his arm and pulled him up.

Song Yingbai said helplessly: "I'm so tired, I can sleep anywhere, so let's stop talking."

"That's right, stop nagging, go to bed!" Li Zhen pushed him onto the bed, "Go to sleep."

Seeing that he didn't seem to be being polite, Song Yingbai really wanted to be humble, "Then I'd rather be obedient than respectful." He took off his coat and rolled into the quilt in his middle coat.

Li Zhen stood in front of his bed and looked at him with a smile, "Just relax and sleep well, I'll keep watch for you, even if the earthquake causes floods, don't worry."

"With your words, I'm really relieved." After finishing speaking, he pulled out a little cotton from the quilt, crumpled it up and stuffed it into his ears. At the same time, he closed his eyes, as if he was going to have a good sleep.

Li Zhen walked to the table, blew out the candles, and sat on the floor.

He suddenly thought of one thing, although it is true that he regards Song Yingbai as a friend, but what about Song Yingbai?

He took the initiative to prevent him from letting others vacate the room just now, did he just want to share a room with him?

The relationship between Song Yingbai and Cheng Dongyi, he admits, may be a suspected neighbor stealing the axe, but the fact may not be what he imagined.

So what about Caifeng...

Forget it, no matter what Song Yingbai is, what he likes is his quality and character that can be a friend, these are not important.

……

After thinking about it for an hour, Li Zhen decided to ask Song Yingbai directly when he woke up tomorrow.

If Song Yingbai is not Duanxiu, then... of course it will be fine...

If Song Yingbai is...

...Well...he loves it, but he doesn't anyway!So it doesn't matter.

He made up his mind to ask about it tomorrow, and was about to go to bed, when he suddenly heard a slight sound of wading through the grass outside the window, and was slowly approaching the window.

He became alert all of a sudden.

Li Zhen glanced at Song Yingbai who was sleeping soundly, and looked out of the window with bad eyes. No matter who you are, you can't disturb his rest!
