major general

The cock crowed continuously outside the house, and it seemed that someone said a few words, and the annoying cock crowing disappeared on weekdays.The boys and girls in the yard performed their own duties, and the only principle they understood was to be quiet and not to disturb the nobles in the house.

Before Fu Xiaoyu went to court, Wen Le was sober for a short while, and saw that the other party had changed into court clothes and tied up his hair.

Seemingly aware that the person on the bed had woken up, Fu Xiaoyu turned around and kissed Wen Le lightly on the forehead.

Bunle wrinkled his nose and fell asleep again.

Ma Cheng couldn't avoid it, he looked straight at it, and when sending Fu Xiaoyu out of the mansion, he asked in a low voice: "Master, can, do you want to send a doctor to the mansion?"

doctor?

Fu Xiaoyu glanced at him, looked at Ma Cheng's suspicious red face, sneered and said, "Your master is not as bad as a beast."

Ma Cheng quickly knelt down and confessed.

Fu Xiaoyu didn't bother to talk to him, Ma Cheng followed him since he was a child, and he couldn't stop thinking about Sizhu who followed Wenle.

After getting into the sedan chair, Fu Xiaoyu didn't let him follow, and said: "Serving Wenle, the people in the yard have never been trained, so I don't worry."

Ma Cheng murmured in his heart that the Zhen Guofu is not worried, why are you so worried.Thinking this way in my heart, I still have to obediently respond, saying: "Yes, master."

Fu Xiaoyu was sitting on the sedan chair, tapping his kneecaps with his fingers. His skeleton was bigger than the average person, and he was picky about eating. He couldn't keep any flesh on his body, and his bones were extremely beautiful, so he was particularly difficult to get close to.

If you want to be like Bunle, with a juvenile baby fat on your face, who would not like a handsome little man.

He was obviously thinking about Chun Wei, so why was he thinking about that little heartless person.

Fu Xiaoyu laughed, holding the jade bone fan and sighing, this matter is really difficult.

Smiling for the beauties, he put his head on his belt to play.

After the court, Fu Xiaoyu returned to the Imperial College. The princes and daughters are enjoying the rare monthly leave, and they have to have two days to come to class.The Imperial College was very quiet, and everyone knew that Lord Jijiu didn't like to make noise, so they all worked with peace of mind with their tails between their legs.

Sheng Xia entered the main hall with a small basket. Fu Xiaoyu was reading a book. When he saw her coming in, he said, "Hehe misses you every day. When Duanyang is here, you can find a reason to go home and accompany her. Hurry up and read the cocoon to my ears." .”

Sheng Xia smiled, put the lunch on the table, carefully avoiding the books, and said: "Didn't she have been pestering the big maid of the Zhen Guo Mansion to have fun recently? Earlier, she went out to play with paper kites, and even brought one to the maidservant to send to the palace , I was so angry that the servant could not sleep in the middle of the night."

As if thinking of that smelly girl He He, Fu Xiaoyu also smiled.

Sheng Xia arranged the dishes and chopsticks, stood aside, and heard Fu Xiaoyu ask: "Is there anything interesting in the palace recently?"

She didn't dare to hide it, Sheng Xia knew that her master saw things from a different perspective than ordinary people, so she said many small things together, so she was afraid that if she missed the news, the master would lose a solution to the matter.

"Wait, what did you say about Guangwen Museum recently?"

"Returning to the master, the Guangwen Museum has been plagued by rats recently. A corner of Old Master Yue's book was bitten by a rat, and someone is sending medicine to poison the rat."

Fu Xiaoyu smiled with her lips curled up, and said, "Even the corner of Old Master Yue's book was bitten off..."

Sheng Xia didn't understand what he meant, so he didn't ask any further questions, and said: "Master, let's have lunch first, be careful not to hurt your stomach."

There are only two days left before the imperial examination, Wen Le has been so obedient these few days, I am afraid that Fu Xiaoyu will be unhappy and refuse to help Zhang Lie.Ma Cheng was used to Wen Le's three-no policy of "don't do anything, don't listen, don't listen" to his master every time, so he was really not used to the dog-legged appearance of the major general.

"It's very hot, I asked Sizhu to bring some fruit to you."

Fu Xiaoyu lay on the imperial concubine's couch and tasted a grape, nodded with raised eyebrows, and said, "It tastes good. For some reason, my shoulders have always been a bit uncomfortable lately."

Wen Le stepped over Ma Cheng, sat on the ottoman and held Fu Xiaoyu's shoulders, and said, "How about this?"

Fu Xiaoyu hummed twice, turned the pages of the book, and said, "Not bad."

Wen Le gritted his silver teeth, and asked seemingly unintentionally: "The palace examination will be in two days. This year's spring is late, and even the Chunwei palace examination has fallen to the present."

Fu Xiaoyu was amused in her heart, without revealing anything, she nodded and said: "Yes, the emperor made a point yesterday."

Wen Le put down his hand, saw that Fu Xiaoyu had been looking at the book, rolled his eyes, and stuck out his head from the gap between his chest and abdomen and the book, let Fu Xiaoyu's eyes fall on her, smiled flatteringly, and said: "Good master , just tell the students, have you made any arrangements for that before..."

Fu Xiaoyu handed the book to Ma Cheng, and Ma Cheng immediately left the room without looking sideways.

"Is that why you're so worried about your friend?"

Wen Le nodded, and said: "They are the first people I met when I returned to Jinlin, and they are kind, and I can get along well with them. I don't want to see Zhang Lie go down like this."

Fu Xiaoyu nodded his nose and said with a bit of jealousy, "The emperor is not in a hurry for the eunuchs."

Seeing that he hadn't mentioned his own arrangement after talking for a long time, Wen Le felt a little angry, sat up with his body propped up, and said, "Fu Xiaoyu, do you have any ideas?"

Fu Xiaoyu also sat up and said, "Yes, and I need your and Sun Yu'er's help."

Wen Le's eyes lit up, and he immediately became obedient, leaning over and asking, "What's the matter?!"

Early the next morning, Wen Le and Sun Yu'er went to Wenshan Temple.

It rained a few days ago, so it wasn't so hot.What's more, it is still in the mountains, the birds are humming, the cicadas are constantly singing, and the leaves are rustling when the wind blows.

After Sun Yu'er learned about Zhang Lie from Wen Le, she was almost so angry that she went to the Prime Minister's Mansion, but luckily the accompanying servant stopped her.

If he ran regardless, it would only be Sun Shangshu and Zhang Lie who would be in trouble.

On weekdays, Sun Yu'er talked a lot, and she danced and danced when talking about things, as if she was too well protected by her family.Of the three of them, only Sun Yu'er was truly raised by our young master.

Occasionally he said some naive words, the other two thought he was simple, but never said he was whimsical.

In Sun Yuer's world, everything is colorful.There is no unfair thing in the world, no unhappy family.

A strong dose of medicine came to Sun Yu'er, and he was silent at home for a long time.

The two went to Wenshan Temple also for Zhang Lie. It is said that Zhang Yao had come to play with the hermit who was resident in Wenshan Temple when he finished attending Chunwei.He once told the hermit that he didn't want to be an official in this life, so only his name was written on the Chunwei examination paper, and nothing else was written.

Although it is a rumor, it is better than no news.

As long as Sun Yu'er and Wen Le can find that person and let him testify, at least it can prove that Zhang Yao has no intention of being an official.

The sound of cicadas was harsh even after listening to it for a long time. Wen Le and Sun Yuer climbed the road to Wenshan Temple, their footsteps were weak, and Ma Cheng who followed was also sweating.

Bunle walked ahead, and stopped when he walked.

Sun Yu'er thought he was waiting for her, and panting heavily, she ran towards him at a faster speed. As soon as she opened the water bag, Wen Le said, "I always feel that something is wrong."

Sun Yuer blinked and said, "What's wrong?"

"Fu Xiaoyu's appearance as a child prodigy can be regarded as exhaustive. The most uncertain things have always been the top of her own. This time it is about Zhang Yao's hermit in Wenshan Temple. It is obviously a witness. It is so important. Let us two children who have not yet reached the crown go?"

Sun Yu'er was puzzled and said, "I don't want too many people to know about this matter. We are the only ones who can be assured by Mr. Jijiu. What's wrong with asking us to do things?"

Wen Le shook his head, frowned and said: "You don't know him. He has many capable men and soldiers, not to mention the palace's eyes and ears in midsummer, and his personal butler Ma Cheng, but the box that serves Fu Che is weird. It is a strange technique, so many people are at his disposal, why are we the two who are particularly close to Zhang Lie?"

When Ma Cheng who caught up heard this sentence, he felt that the hot sweat on his back was completely cold by the cool wind, and his eyes rolled for a long time, thinking how to hide this from his ancestor.

In a trance, Sun Yu'er also felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't tell.

Wen Le glanced at Ma Cheng, wanting to get some information from the other party's eyes, finally shook his head and said, "Ma Cheng, take Yu'er up the mountain to find that so-called hermit, and I'll go down the mountain."

Ma Cheng hastily stopped him and said, "Major General, I am following my master's orders. If you delay the master's arrangement when you go down the mountain, the master will not be willing to punish you, but he is willing to put a leather whip on me. Please forgive me." .”

If Ma Cheng didn't stop, Wen Le would just be skeptical, but if he stopped so quickly, Wen Le knew there must be something tricky about it.There is no weapon under him, and it is unrealistic to take a long gun to the street.He took off the soft whip from his waist and hit the ground, immediately dazzling whip marks appeared on the bluestone slab.

"You, will you let me go or not?"

Ma Cheng swallowed, and obediently gave way.

Wen Le stepped on the tree trunk beside him, holding a soft whip in his hand, and ran down the mountain directly using Qinggong.

Passers-by on the road only felt the cool breeze, and saw the hem of their clothes disappearing in the corner.

Wen Le went down the mountain and rode back to Jinlin.It's not easy to ride a horse when you enter the city, so you have to climb up the wall and run home.

It stands to reason that Fu Xiaoyu should be down at this moment.

Running home covered in sweat, Si Zhu was in a hurry at the door, seeing Wen Le hurried up to greet her, and said, "Master! You are back! Something happened!"

Wen Le's heart stopped suddenly, the blood all over his body rushed to his heart, his limbs were cold, and he smelled: "What do you mean? Where is Fu Xiaoyu?"

Si Zhu didn't know where to start, it's not easy to say these things outside, so she dragged Wen Le into the general's mansion and said: "You don't know, something big happened in the court this morning!"

"What's the matter? Where's Fu Xiaoyu? Why isn't he here? Isn't he already in court?"

"Today, the old lady got the news that at the court, Fu Jijiu, the supervisor of the state, knelt down to plead guilty. There was a rat infestation, and all the Chunwei examination paper lists were destroyed!"

Wen Le's eyes widened, his fingers trembled unconsciously, and he asked in a cold voice, "And then?"

Sizhu sighed, and said with tears in his eyes: "The emperor was furious, and he added another round of policy examinations in front of the hall, graded the papers on the spot, selected the best in the palace examination, and... also had someone beat Master Jijiu [-] times. "

Wen Le pursed her lips tightly, and walked out with a soft whip, with a sullen face, as if suppressing her own anger.

"Where are you going!"

Wenle stopped.

The old lady stood under the door plaque, and Zilin beside her was also worried.

"Are you going here now to make Fu Xiaoyu fall short?"

No matter how courageous Fu Xiaoyu was about the younger generation, he would not dare to hide it from the old lady. Long before that, he had told the old lady all about her plans.

At that time, the old lady also asked Fu Xiaoyu if she thought that after the emperor was furious, her title of first-rank imperial order would help him to avoid punishment.

Fu Xiaoyu was startled, shook his head and said no.

He said that he tricked Wen Le out of the house in advance, fearing that he would find out something and come back and lose his temper.

I hope you know this and can help.

He is young and has a high temper. Don't hurt yourself because of such a trivial matter.
