I was a princess in ancient times

The old shopkeeper's work efficiency is very high.

The next day, Ji Xinxue met his beloved 'Baixiang' in Hanzhuyuan.

Yu Heng's bookboys, Zizhu and Qingzhu, followed Yu Heng with their pony horses, which immediately attracted the attention of the students.

They had seen the maroon horse led by Zizhu before, but it was the first time they had seen the black horse led by Qingzhu. Just by looking at its fur and four strong and powerful legs, they knew it was a good horse.

Under the guidance of the teaching doctor, Ji Xinxue was correcting the posture of drawing the bow. She only took the time to wave in the direction of Yu Heng, and was not in a hurry to develop a relationship with his beloved horse.

People who had nothing to do surrounded them one after another.

Li Jin circled Baixiang twice, and his eyes mainly fell on Baixiang's teeth and four hooves, "The king of the small county already has Hong Fei and brought this horse again. Is it because he can't bear to see the good horse without the owner, and intends to Find an owner for it?"

Zhang Siyi's eyes lit up after understanding Li Jinhuan's suggestion.

Since he started the "Royal" course in the first ten days, he has been begging his grandfather and father to find a pony for him.

It wasn't that the ponies Hanzhuyuan prepared for the students were not good, but that the ponies that Yu Heng and Li Jinhuan brought to Hanzhuyuan from their homes were so handsome that Zhang Siyi couldn't forget them, and dreamed of having a similar horse.

It's a pity that good horses are hard to find, especially the offspring of famous horses who were extremely docile in their infancy.

Yu Heng's horse came from the fief, and Li Jinhuan's horse came from the barracks.

Qi Zhu also brought a pony from home to class, and did not use the horses that Hanzhuyuan provided to the students, but his horses were only better than the horses of Hanzhuyuan, and could not compare with the horses of Yu Heng and Li Jinhuan at all.

Even if the Minister of Rites is willing to spoil his grandson, there is no way to find a real top horse for Zhang Siyi in a short time.

"Little County King?" Zhang Siyi looked at Yu Heng anxiously. He hadn't decided what to exchange for Yu Heng's good horse, but he couldn't wait to go up to him, fearing that someone would snatch it from him.

Yu Heng noticed Zhang Siyi's 'obsessed' gaze at Bai Xiang, and subconsciously stood between Zhang Siyi and Bai Xiang, looking at Zhang Siyi with extreme vigilance, "What are you doing?"

Zhang Siyi didn't expect that Yu Heng would ask him what he was going to do before he said his purpose. While being flattered, he looked at Bai Xiang with a more 'friendly' gaze.

It's a pity that Zhang Siyi hadn't had time to take a few more glances when she suddenly felt dark in front of her eyes, and a faint bamboo fragrance wafted from her nostrils.

"Ha~"

The students couldn't help laughing all around.

When Zhang Siyi removed the veil covering his face and saw the light again, Yu Heng and Bai Xiang, who were only two steps away from him, had appeared at least ten steps away from him.

Hong Fei, who was ruthlessly left in place by Yu Heng, smelled the familiar smell, and suddenly took two steps towards Zhang Siyi's direction. She breathed warm breath on Zhang Siyi's forehead where she had just touched the handkerchief in her hand, and opened her mouth to lick it.

Zhang Siyi raised her head ignorantly, and backed away again and again in fright, her left leg tripped over her right leg, and she fell hard into a squatting position.

Hong Fei's horse head stopped in mid-air, and stared at Zhang Siyi on the ground with lowered eyelids for a while, as if he suddenly realized that the person in front of him was not his two-legged beast, and was obediently dragged away by Zizhu who was holding the rein tightly.

"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha"

Seeing Yu Heng paste the handkerchief in his sleeve on Zhang Siyi's face, turning around to protect the black pony behind him and 'escape', the crowd who were struggling to hold back their smiles, seeing Zhang Siyi's embarrassed look, finally had a reason to be upright Laugh out loud.

Ji Xinxue stepped on the laughter of the crowd and walked over, looking at Yu Heng in bewilderment.

Could it be that Zhang Siyi performed a flat throw just now?

Yu Heng solemnly handed the rein tightly in his hand to Ji Xinxue, "Your Baixiang."

Ji Xinxue immediately forgot her curiosity, took the rein and tentatively stretched her hand to Bai Xiang's forehead, seeing that Bai Xiang didn't dodge it, she put it on with confidence, and let out a contented sigh.

Even though being laughed at by her classmates, Zhang Siyi, who was still staring at Baixiang with infatuation, widened her eyes in disbelief.

It's not the horse of Xiaojun King, but the horse of Ningshu County Lord?

Finally meeting a pony he likes but not being able to own it is far more hurtful to Zhang Siyi than making a harmless ugliness and being laughed at by his classmates.

Zhang Siyi lowered her head in frustration, not even in the mood to stand up from the ground, but Li Jinhuan, who came to pull him up specially, laughed and scolded him as "no prospect", and forcibly pulled him up.

Even if they saw the picture of Yu Heng avoiding Zhang Siyi for the black horse with their own eyes, and felt the down-to-earth side of Xiaojun Wang, everyone didn't dare to make fun of it. Seeing that there was no excitement to watch, they left quietly and went to their own things .

It didn't take long before Zhang Siyi completely forgot about the frustration before, and smiled and leaned next to Yu Heng and Ji Xinxue, "This ten-day vacation happens to be my birthday, and my grandfather granted me permission to invite my friends to Zhuangzi in the suburbs of Beijing. Can I show my face?"

Ji Xinxue accepted Zhang Siyi's invitation without hesitation, "Then I'll wait until Zhuangzi is on the scene, and then I will add happiness to the little birthday star."

Ji Xinxue was still unwilling to see Mrs. Zhong, he wanted to wait until Mrs. Zhong's mood calmed down completely before contacting Mrs. Zhong.

Since yesterday, Ji Xinxue has been thinking, find some reason not to go to Qixia Courtyard to visit Miss Zhong during her vacation, so as not to let the people in the palace guess that he and Lady Zhong are not on good terms.

Zhang Siyi came at the right time.

Zhang Siyi showed a very bright smile, "It is the greatest joy that the county lord can come."

After speaking, he turned his head to look at Yu Heng, the expectation and tension in his eyes almost turned into reality.

Although he already knew that Yu Heng would most likely not agree to his invitation, it was also a good thing to have a few more words with Yu Heng.

Yu Heng made a decision when Ji Xinxue said 'go', and nodded reservedly, "Where is your Zhuangzi?"

The suburbs of Beijing can be subdivided into eight directions, and there are only a few Zhuangzi who can hold a banquet. Zhang Siyi gave the approximate direction, and Yu Heng and Ji Xinxue knew it well.

Looking at Zhang Siyi's happy pace that was about to put 'joyful' on her back, Ji Xinxue suddenly laughed, "I didn't expect him to be so attached to you."

Zhang Siyi is the only person in Hanzhuyuan who is willing to bear Yu Heng's cold face and relentlessly move towards Yu Heng's side.

Yu Heng's hand, which was about to take out the bean cakes from the cloth bag, paused almost imperceptibly, his dark eyes fell on Ji Xinxue's side face, "I don't agree with you."

Ji Xinxue smiled.

Who says you can't hit it off?

Unilateral hit-and-run is also hit-and-run.

After the morning class, Ji Xinxue personally sent Bai Xiang, who was already very close to him, to the yard where Yu Heng was resting.

In almost half a month, Yu Heng's small courtyard has undergone earth-shaking changes.

The seven small courtyards belonging to Yu Heng have been surrounded by walls that are only half a head shorter than Ji Xinxue, and a small plaque that smells of tung oil is hung on the brand new gate.

'Lenghuiyuan'

After entering the gate, the original small courtyard has undergone major or minor changes. The small courtyard located in the northeast corner was directly used as a stable, and only Yu Heng's red jadeite was raised.

Now we have to add Ji Xinxue's white fragrance.

After settling down the pony, Ji Xinxue was invited by Yu Heng to have dinner in the Lenghui Courtyard.

It was only after the unusual dishes were served that Ji Xinxue knew that Yu Heng not only used the spare yard at the outermost edge as a stable, but also transformed another empty yard into a small kitchen.

"The chefs in all the restaurants in the Imperial College are not rented out. Could it be that the servants around you can still cook?" Ji Xinxue was full of curiosity.

The food at Lenghuiyuan tastes very good. Although it is still full of the characteristics of the times, there are only stews and no stir-fry dishes, but the way of handling the ingredients and the fire are far better than the chefs of Hanzhuyuan restaurant.

Guilt flashed in Yu Heng's eyes, he put down his chopsticks, and said honestly, "I gave Dean Jiang another 500 taels of silver to help Hanzhuyuan repair the cruise ship parked by Yunhu Lake. She gave me five to go in and out of the Imperial College and Hanzhu Lin Zhao sent a man who raises horses, a man who grows flowers, a man who can cook, and two men who can fight everywhere."

Ji Xinxue laughed, "Why are you nervous?"

The 500 taels of silver was not a loss, and the quality of life was greatly improved.

Although Dean Jiang is greedy for money, he is not a black heart.

Seeing that Ji Xinxue didn't mean to blame him for wasting money, Yu Heng quietly breathed a sigh of relief, "I'm not guilty."

Ji Xinxue raised her eyebrows suspiciously, thinking that she had misread it, and focused all her attention on the rare delicacies that he found palatable.

The consequence of dedicating himself wholeheartedly was that Ji Xinxue forgot that his stomach was limited, and he was so full that he didn't want to leave the chair at all, and he didn't even want to go around half of the cloud lake to return to Xiulou.

He would rather give up today's nap.

After rubbing her obviously protruding stomach, Ji Xinxue decided to do something to digest, and he said to Yu Heng, "Would you like to play a game?"

The two left the small courtyard dedicated to eating, and went to the small courtyard used as a study.

Ji Xinxue asked Qingzhu for some paper, folded it into half the size of a palm, and tore it along the creases. Then she grinded the ink herself, took a small pen from the pen holder, and took three larger pieces of paper and put them on the paper. before.

A simple little red flower was drawn on the first piece of paper.

Draw a circle on the second sheet of paper.

There was only one dot of ink on the third sheet.

After making preparations, Ji Xinxue looked at Qingzhu and Zizhu who were waiting on the side.

Ji Xinxue watched Zizhu touch the back of his head, with a simple and honest smile on his face.

Qingzhu was more alert, and immediately said to Yu Heng and Ji Xinxue, "I heard that there is a new cook in Hanmeiyuan, who is especially good at making pastries. Zizhu and I went to buy some pastries that the king and the county master had never eaten before."

Seeing Yu Heng nodding, Qing Zhu and Zi Zhu left the study.

Ji Xinxue spread the three ink-stained pieces of paper side by side on the table, and then divided half of the paper strips that had been cut out to Yu Heng, and introduced the rules of the game to Yu Heng, "We each write a name on the paper Pass it to the other party, and the person who gets the note should put the note in the corresponding position according to the address on it."

He reached out and tapped on the pieces of paper that were spread side by side on the table.

The little red flower represents favorability.

The circles mean that there are things I like and things I don't like, and I can't tell the difference for the time being.

Ink dots represent dislike.

In order to demonstrate better, Yu Heng wrote first, and Ji Xinxue played it.

Yu Heng has already understood what negative emotions are, and even without Ji Xinxue's special explanation, he can roughly guess what good feelings mean.

The picture he saw a few days ago suddenly flashed in his mind, and when he came back to his senses, the words 'Twelve Lang' had already been written on the note.

Seeing what he had written, Yu Heng suddenly panicked and subconsciously wanted to destroy the note.It's a pity that before he could take any action, Ji Xinxue, who was always standing by his side, had already whispered the words on the note, "Twelve Lang?"

The hands of the two who were going to grab the note at the same time bumped into each other, Yu Heng immediately withdrew his hand, and looked at Ji Xinxue with indescribably nervous eyes.

He had never been so contradictory. He wanted to see Ji Xinxue's answer, but it was a pity that he didn't destroy the note before Ji Xinxue could see the contents of the note.

The two thoughts were so overwhelming in his mind that Yu Heng didn't know which one he was more inclined to.

Ji Xinxue didn't notice Yu Heng's entanglement at all, because he was also entangled.Holding the note, he hesitated for a while between the little red flower and the circle, and finally put the note under the circle.

He doesn't hate Twelve Lang, nor will he anger Twelve Lang because of his conflict with Mrs. Zhong.

Seriously speaking, Twelve Lang is the most pitiful one.

Twelve Lang's marriage has been used as a bargaining chip by the elders in the family to make up for the disaster, but Twelve Lang is not even qualified to know the inside story in advance.

Ask yourself, Ji Xinxue doesn't particularly like Twelve Lang, except that Twelve Lang is his cousin, and that Shi Twelve Lang is very likely to be implicated by him, and has an unshakable guilt.

So Ji Xinxue put Twelve Lang under the circle.

It's not that liking and dislike exist at the same time, which can be counted as canceling each other according to the rules, but that there is neither like nor dislike.

Even though the strange emotions churning in his heart were churning together, disturbing Yu Heng's mood, he was still paying attention to Ji Xinxue's movements all the time.

Seeing Ji Xinxue put the note with 'Twelve Lang' under the circled piece of paper, Yu Heng seemed to hear something falling to the ground in a trance.

He has many words to persuade Ji Xinxue.

You cannot marry with the idea of ​​supporting your husband's concubines and concubines with dowry.

In the entire Zhong family, the highest-ranking official is only an eighth-rank official. How can the county head of the Wangfu marry into such a family?

If you want to make life easier for Zhong's family, just give them more money, and don't treat marriage as a trifling matter.

……

However, Yu Heng didn't say anything.

He had already been rude to Ji Xinxue once, and he didn't want to leave any bad impression on Ji Xinxue again.

When Ji Xinxue proposed to play games with Yu Heng, she had already thought about what kind of note to write for Yu Heng to choose.

He wanted to know Yu Heng's attitude towards the people in the British government, so that he could judge the extent to which Yu Heng had been influenced by the British government.

It can also make him know well, so that he won't speak ill of people who are important to Yu Heng from the very beginning.

To prevent the situation where Yu Heng not only did not listen to his persuasion, but alienated him.

On the first note, Ji Xinxue wrote 'Old Lady'.

Yu Heng put the note under the ink-spotted piece of paper without hesitation, he hated the old lady.

Seeing this, Ji Xinxue nodded in satisfaction. Fortunately, the worst situation he expected did not happen.

second round.

Yu Heng wrote 'Aye'.

Ji Xinxue put the note under the piece of paper with the little red flower on it, and then wrote 'Uncle Niang', and Yu Heng put the note under the piece of paper with ink dots without hesitation.

Third round

Yu Heng wrote "A Niang"

Ji Xinxue put the note under the circled piece of paper.

I hope that Mrs. Zhong can study hard in the courtyard of the princess and understand it sooner... He doesn't even know what to ask Mrs. Zhong to understand, as long as Mrs. Zhong's mood can become peaceful.

After sighing secretly in her heart, Ji Xinxue wrote "uncle"

To Ji Xinxue's surprise, Yu Heng placed his uncle under the piece of paper with a circle drawn on it.

Fourth round

Yu Heng hesitated for a while with the pen before writing 'Sister' on the note.

Ji Xinxue picked up the note and tilted her head to look at Yu Heng, "Which sister is it?"

"Huh?" Yu Heng just remembered that there was more than one sister in Ji Xinxue's family, and quickly added, "It's Xuanming County Lord of Hanmeiyuan."

After writing about Twelve Lang and his parents, he no longer knew what to write, but he still wanted to play games with Ji Xinxue, and in a hurry, he could only think of Xuanming County Mistress of Hanmeiyuan.

Ji Xinxue nodded, and put the note under the little red flower.

Fifth round

……

After Yu Heng wrote about Sister, he simply wrote down Ji Xinxue's brother and sister. Ji Xinxue put all these notes under the little red flower, and arranged them neatly with the fourth wife.

Ji Xinxue also tried to write down brother, sister, and younger brother because she saw the words "brother" and "sister" too many times.

Yu Heng put the three notes under the paper with ink dots.

Ji Xinxue looked at the piece of paper with ink dots, and there were so many notes below that they could only be stacked.Surprise flashed in his eyes, and he wanted to take the opportunity to break Yu Heng's habit of spending money indiscriminately, and asked deliberately, "You don't like sister, brother and brother, why do you have to prepare expensive gifts for them?"

"I didn't prepare any expensive gifts for them." Yu Heng said to Ji Xinxue seriously, "It's just some ordinary things, and the whole family's face is taken care of."

Ji Xinxue clutched her chest in anger at Yu Heng's natural attitude.

Do you know that in your eyes 'ordinary stuff' at least can make these people show some limelight on certain occasions, or be noticed by important people.

Because there are more important people that have not been written on the note, Ji Xinxue didn't want to end the game yet, so she suppressed the idea of ​​complaining and asked Yu Heng to continue writing the note.

Yu Heng had nothing to write, and a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he wrote 'little horse' on it.

Ji Xinxue laughed, and put the note with 'little horse' under the piece of paper with the little red flower on it.Then write down the word 'grandmother' and give it to Yu Heng, watching Yu Heng put 'grandmother' under the piece of paper with the little red flower on it.

Before the end of the game, Ji Xinxue successfully calculated Yu Heng's general attitude towards the people in the British government.

Under the ink-stained pieces of paper, there are countless strips of paper, arranged in three rows.

Yu Heng only has good feelings but not bad feelings, only the Duke of England and his wife.

The eldest son and Qi Sima are all under the circled piece of paper, and there is also the third-bedroom aunt and the only son of the third-bedroom, Qi Yanhe, who really replaced Yu Heng's seat in the Hanmei Academy.

The head of the third room, Yu Heng's third uncle Qi Fuwei, is under the ink-stained piece of paper. ,

Ji Xinxue made a rough guess.

Yu Heng has a good impression of the British Duke and his wife.For some reason, he doesn't like Qi Sima very much, and there is a high probability that there is an element of anger.When Yu Heng mentioned Qi Sima, he obviously had a natural expectation and dependence on his 'father'.

When putting the 'uncle' note representing the son under the circled piece of paper, Yu Heng's attitude was very tangled. It can be inferred that something happened recently that caused Yu Heng to hate the son a little bit, and there is a high probability that he will be the same as the son. Mrs. related.

In addition, Ji Xinxue wrote the word 'subordinate' at the end of the game.

Yu Heng put the note under the circled piece of paper.

The conclusions drawn through the game aren't too bad.

Although Yu Heng is inevitably influenced by the British government, he still retains the ability to think independently and his likes and dislikes. At least he can firmly hate those who have blatantly hurt him.

From a certain point of view, Yu Heng comprehended the ability to judge right and wrong by himself in a very complicated environment.

Because there was no one, or someone whom Yu Heng could trust to lead the way, the process was extremely long.

Ji Xinxue collected all the notes, threw them into the brazier under the table, and destroyed the corpses by the way, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble.

Yu Heng hesitated for a while, then whispered to Ji Xinxue, "For Zhang Siyi's birthday, I want to give Zhang Siyi a pony."

"Huh?" Ji Xinxue raised her head, and when she saw the inquiry between Yu Heng's eyebrows, she realized that Yu Heng wanted to hear his opinion.

"Unexpectedly, you just don't want to talk to Zhang Siyi, and you still miss him in your heart." Ji Xinxue joked.

"No." Yu Heng shook his head, contemplating for a while, "It's just that he likes ponies, and I happen to have them."

What a colander you are.

Ji Xinxue had no choice but to support his forehead. He had no objection to Yu Heng giving Zhang Siyi a pony, but he could not accept Yu Heng sending a pony for the current reason.

"If it wasn't that Zhang Siyi wanted a pony and it happened to be her birthday, but..." Ji Xinxue glanced at the smoking brazier, "it was your fourth sister, would you still give a pony?"

Just now when Ji Xinxue wrote "Sister", she casually mentioned Fourth Sister, and Yu Heng put the note under the ink-stained piece of paper.

Yu Heng's relaxed face turned heavy, "Don't send it off, just let Lin Zhao prepare it casually."

Ji Xinxue smiled and told Yu Heng, "It's because you have a crush on Zhang Siyi that you came up with the idea of ​​fulfilling Zhang Siyi's wish on Zhang Siyi's birthday.

Yu Heng thought for a while, then suddenly asked Ji Xinxue, "What wish do you have?"

I will do my best to make it happen for you.

Ji Xinxue easily understood the meaning behind Yu Heng's words, and felt very relieved.

It's like helping an injured little wolf clean up the wound, seeing the little wolf reluctantly tolerate other people who have fed it touching their heads, and then immediately throwing themselves into his arms, no matter how much he kneads him, he won't bark his teeth .

It's a pity... Yu Heng can't do anything.

His greatest wish is for Emperor Yanguang to kick his legs as soon as possible, and it is best for his father to have the emperor's life.

Because Ji Xinxue lacked the "Royalty" class throughout the whole course, he spent most of his time in contact with the pony besides practicing drawing the bow.

"Royalty" is about driving, but Guozijian will not let students get in touch with horses that can pull carts from the very beginning. Generally, they first teach students how to get along with horses. After students understand the character of horses and master the skills of riding horses, Only then will the students try to drive.

Therefore, as long as Ji Xinxue can ride a horse for two quarters of an hour, she will be able to catch up with the missing lessons.

After thinking about it for several days, Ji Xinxue finally came to her senses.

He didn't need Yu Heng to learn how to give gifts, but he wanted Yu Heng to make a change immediately.

Ji Xinxue asked Aunt Hua to give him a list of the ranges that the young master of the ordinary Duke's mansion can choose when giving gifts to the elders and the younger generation.

Aunt Hua didn't go into why Ji Xinxue asked her to make this list, but just asked, "What an ordinary young man from the Duke's Mansion?"

Ji Xinxue thought for a while, and told Aunt Hua, "The grandson of the head of the family is not from the line of succession in the future, and there is a high probability that he will not be able to get things from the Duke's Mansion in the future. His biological mother died early, and he will not get anything from his grandfather and grandson on weekdays." Father's pocket money."

Aunt Hua had already guessed who Ji Xinxue was talking about, it was the first time she heard someone look at the golden and precious little county king from this angle.

The tendency in the county magistrate's words was very obvious, and she already knew how to make this list.

After only half a day, Ji Xinxue got the list from Aunt Hua.He hurriedly scanned the items listed on the list, pointed to a few casually, and asked Aunt Hua to show him something similar to the list.

It is best to look for things that can be given to peers on the list. Most of the things for the little lady are found everywhere in Ji Xinxue's house, and the materials that don't feel bad for the maids are easy to give, and the hairpin and ring accessories are just ordinary.

Ji Xinxue specially asked Bijuan and Caishi to take out their best jewelry, and found that the best jewelry of Bijuan and Caishi was only a little worse than the plum blossom hairpin that Aunt Hua showed him, so she happily brought Aunt Hua's The plum blossom hairpin was inserted on Bijuan's head, "I'll ask aunt to choose one for Caishi and one for Qingyun later, you both have a share."

The things for Mr. Xiao Lang were difficult to find in Ji Xinxue's room. Aunt Hua searched around for a long time before she found a set of pens, inks, papers and inkstones that were either good or not bad, and which Ji Xinxue thought were tasteless to eat and would be a pity to throw away.

Seeing Ji Xinxue showing disgust, Aunt Hua smiled and explained, "The sage and Mrs. Zhaoyi love the king, and they won't let the king return from the palace empty-handed every time. The king loves you too, and all good things come to you. Sending it off, the people in the Duke's Mansion are naturally inferior to you."

Ji Xinxue nodded thoughtfully, and secretly woke up.

After he moved out of the courtyard on the edge of the palace, except for the setbacks he suffered from Mrs. Zhong, everything went smoothly, and the things he used and saw were of more than one grade, and he almost never saw them before moving into Qixia courtyard s things.

Such a comfortable and extravagant life made his horizons higher and higher, and at the same time, he unknowingly developed towards 'why not eat minced meat'.

Fortunately, a few days ago, he was still distressed that Yu Heng was a big colander, and he himself was not much better.

Ji Xinxue asked Aunt Hua to clean this set of dusty pens, inks, papers and inkstones, and put them in a conspicuous place in his study, before continuing to look at the various gift options for the elders on the list.

Aunt Hua had guessed Ji Xinxue's thoughts, the gifts listed on the list for the elders were not much more precious than the gifts for the same generation, and they only cost dozens of taels of silver, but Ji Xinxue was extremely dissatisfied.

Compared with young children who are influenced by adults' malice and will do wrong things, adults who already have the ability to judge right and wrong but still follow the trend or are simply the culprit are more hateful.

Ji Xinxue pointed to the items on the list and said, "The elders are kind, it's fine if you don't give the younger generation pocket money, how can you bear to accept such an expensive gift from the younger generation?"

Aunt Hua was overwhelmed by Ji Xinxue's intransigence, and couldn't think of how to persuade her.

"Here." Ji Xinxue pointed to the examples listed in the small script of the hairpin flower, and said slowly, "Change it to copying Fu and Shou by yourself, and find people over 50 years old to write pictures of Baishou and Baifu, etc. Spend money to light long-burning lamps for them in temples, and let Taoist people perform deeds..."

Aunt Hua understood, and tried to make suggestions according to Ji Xinxue's thoughts, "You can also trouble Xiaojun...cough, let Xiao Langjun of the Duke's Mansion divide the silk thread himself, and ask the embroiderer to embroider characters with the silk thread distributed by Xiao Lang himself."

Ji Xinxue thought about it, but she only embroidered characters, at most she spent some money on embroidery thread and fabrics, but the person who got the gift couldn't cash it out, so she nodded in satisfaction.

This kind of gift is also good, although it costs money, the recipient can only look at it with greed.

The next day, Ji Xinxue gave Yu Heng the list that Aunt Hua rewrote.

Yu Heng roughly glanced at the items on the list, and said hesitantly, "Everything is ready?"

Will it be a little less?

He remembered that every time Lin Zhao prepared presents, there were several boxes.On the list given to him by Ji Xinxue, there were only five or six things behind each identity.

Ji Xinxue laughed out loud, "Choose one from the list to give away."

Seeing Yu Heng so surprised that he couldn't even speak, Ji Xinxue suddenly felt an evil fire in his heart.

He lightly patted the list in Yu Heng's hand, pretending to be powerless on purpose, and lowered his head in frustration, "I only know that your daily salute was wrong in the past, but I don't know how to do it correctly. The aunt who came out of the palace made this list according to the situation of the ordinary Duke's Xiaolang."

"You send it according to this list first, if someone says you are wrong, you don't have the style of a county king, then you..." Ji Xinxue raised her head suddenly, her eyes were full of surprise that she finally thought of a good idea, and she spoke a lot faster , "You can take the previous gift list and the gift list when it was said to be wrong, and go to Qinghe County King. He is both a county king and a clan patriarch. He must be better than you, me, and those people in the British government. Only by knowing what the county king should do can he not lose his bearing in daily rituals."

Yu Heng has no intention of rejecting Ji Xinxue's kindness.

Ever since he played games with Ji Xinxue in Lenghui Courtyard, Yu Heng often thought of the titles he put under the ink-spotted pieces of paper.

He never takes the initiative to think about these people who make him unhappy.

Seeing the titles lined up in three rows, Yu Heng realized that there are so many people he hates in the British government, and he still gives birthday gifts and various gifts to these people every year.

For this reason, Yu Heng specially went to Linlang Pavilion to find the old shopkeeper, and pretended to mention the three-year contract casually. Only then did he realize that in just one and a half years, the sum of the gifts he gave to the masters and masters of the British government was worth Fifty-eight thousand 320 six taels.

When the old shopkeeper asked Yu Heng with a straight face what kind of gift he had received from the British government, Yu Heng could only think of the white jade lamb that the British government gave him.

Yu Heng didn't answer the old shopkeeper's question, and after leaving Linlang Pavilion with a sullen face, he went to the pawnshop by a strange errand and asked the pawnshop to appraise the value of the white jade lamb he was carrying with him.

The words of the shopkeeper of the pawn shop appeared in Yu Heng's dream for several consecutive days.

"There are only palm-sized gadgets, and the material is not top-notch. It's better to find someone to carve in places like the imperial tomb, rather than famous ones. The maximum is 200 taels of silver."

Yu Heng didn't believe in evil, so he went to three more pawnshops.

The first two families were only willing to give him 180 taels of silver, and the last family was even more extreme, only willing to give him 150 taels of silver.

This made Yu Heng, who had never regarded the things given away as money, feel like heartache for the first time because of the expenses.

Before Ji Xinxue talked to him about giving gifts again, Yu Heng was thinking about how to explain to the old shopkeeper to change the gift preparation standards for the British government without losing momentum.

At this time, seeing Ji Xinxue wholeheartedly worried about him and happy for him, how could Yu Heng say the word 'no', and immediately promised Ji Xinxue that he would go to the old shopkeeper after school and let the old shopkeeper follow the rules in the future. Prepare gifts with items listed on the list.

Ji Xinxue originally hoped that the people in the British government would show some face and stop blatantly bullying Yu Heng.Now he secretly expects that the people in the British government will be even more shameless, and it is better to make a big fuss because of Yu Heng's sudden "stinginess", and go directly to Qinghe County King.

It's a pity that until the end of the "Shooting" class, Zhang Siyi happily hugged the pony that Yu Heng gave him for his eighth birthday. The old shopkeeper had already prepared two birthday gifts for Yu Heng's cousin and cousin according to the new gift-giving standard. , the British government did not respond.

The British government not only did not respond to Yu Heng's sudden "stinginess", but also began to show great concern for Yu Heng. First, the wife of the eldest son personally apologized to Yu Heng in the sixth landlord's courtyard. Even if Yu Heng did not accept the apology from the elder wife, the British government would No embarrassment for Yu Heng.

Almost every day, the Duke’s wife would specially ask someone to come to the Imperial College to deliver something to Yu Heng, sometimes it was cakes, sometimes it was something to pass the time.

Ji Xinxue felt a strong sense of disobedience, but couldn't tell what was wrong, so she could only secretly strengthen her vigilance, and ran to Yu Heng's Lenghui courtyard when she was free, to prevent the British government from suddenly becoming a big monster.

Before he knew it, Ji Xinxue not only moved all the things he used to practice painting to the Lenghui Courtyard, but also had a small courtyard in the Lenghui Courtyard where he could take a nap at noon.

When the "Numbers" class was in the middle, a big event suddenly happened in Hanzhuyuan.

The third lady Bai disappeared quietly in Hanzhuyuan, and was replaced by a little girl with a red tear mole next to her smiling eye. Her name is Cui Qingzhi, her father is a third-rank imperial doctor, and her elder sister has received the imperial decree from the saint to concubine, waiting for the auspicious day enter the palace.

The next day, the news from the palace spread to the outside world. For some reason, Concubine Li offended the saint and was demoted as a noble lady.

Fifth Lady Bai was absent from school for several days in a row, and when she returned to Hanzhuyuan, her face was extremely haggard.

On the day Concubine Liang entered the palace, Emperor Yanguang held a grand Concubine Conferment Ceremony for the young concubine from a famous family. King Jia began to stay behind closed doors, only leaving the palace every three days when he entered the palace to greet Su Zhaoyi.

Zhang Siyi quietly complained to Yu Heng and Ji Xinxue that although the Concubine Concubine's Concubine Conferment Ceremony was lively, it was not in accordance with ancient etiquette, and there was a shadow of a small country in the west everywhere, as if it was a sacrifice.

Ji Xinxue could neither make the British government take the initiative to show its fox tail, nor interfere with the affairs of the palace. Apart from seriously attending classes, the rest of the time was busy fulfilling promises.

Use the paint that Yu Heng gave him to draw a picture for Yu Heng.

It took seven days for this painting to finally fully possess the charm.

At the edge of Yunhu Lake in Hanzhuyuan, the image of Yu Heng holding Hongfei and Baixiang, looking forward with a smile on his face was engraved on the scroll.

Yu Heng liked this painting very much, and purposely hung it in the study of Lenghui Courtyard, standing in front of the painting from time to time to look at it carefully, and regrets would always come to mind in the end.

He felt that something was missing in the painting, but he never found the answer.

Qing Zhu knocked on the door and said loudly, "Little Duke?"

Yu Heng walked back to the desk, picked up the pen and wrote two more characters with the ink left over from practicing handwriting, and then said "Enter" in a low voice.

Qingzhu strode up to Yu Heng's side, and said in an urgent and low voice, "Prince Xiaojun, the old shopkeeper of Linlanglou will bring you a message, 'Zhong Kan will not be dispatched outside, he has been officially appointed by the Ministry of Officials today, and Ren Guo Zixue teaching assistant.'"

The tip of the brush in the air slides down large drops of ink, leaving extremely glaring marks on the rice paper.

After a long time, Yu Heng put down the brush, "Yeah"

Unknowingly holding her breath, Qingzhu saw Yu Heng speak, only to realize that he hadn't finished speaking, and said hastily, "Zhong Kan's eldest son will get a place to study in the Imperial Academy according to the old practice."

Yu Heng sat on the chair, slowly raised his hands and poked his face, "Yeah"

Qingzhu was about to ask who Zhong Kan was, but suddenly thought of something more important, "Just now when I went to the gate of Hanzhuyuan to talk to the person sent by the old shopkeeper, I saw a student from Taixue came to look for County Lord Ningshu."

Fearing that Yu Heng wouldn't realize the seriousness of the matter, Qingzhu specially emphasized, "It's a little boy."

Yu Heng, who was in an inexplicable depression, suddenly raised his head, "Did that man call himself Zhong Twelve Lang?"

"Huh?" Qing Zhu's eyes widened in surprise, "How do you know... hey? Just wait for me!"
