embarrassment for man and wife

Although Guozijian is the largest academy in the dynasty, Hanlin Xianzhuang is not bad, but the reason why the reputation of Hanlin Xianzhuang is inferior to Guozijian is that, as Xie Junnan said before, people who come out of Hanlin Xianzhuang can Almost all of them were sent to the battlefield by the emperor, and almost all those left in the court were the real literati who were taught by the Guozijian.If one were to talk about the two academies, which one held the most weight in the emperor's heart, it must be Hanlin Xianzhuang.

After all, talents with both civil and military skills are rare in this world, and it is equally rare to be able to go to the battlefield and be literate.

The carriage staggered all the way to the gate of Hanlin Xianzhuang. There are still students here one after another, all of whom have passed the exam and officially enrolled today like Hong'er. Among these people, there may be young masters from rich families, or There are ordinary people, as long as they can pass the exam, regardless of their status, they will all be admitted to the academy.

Beside the carriage, Hong'er stood among the crowd, he looked at the gate with blue bricks and white tiles, his small face was wrinkled into a bun.

Zhuo Hua stepped forward and hugged Hong'er's shoulders, comforting him and said, "Master, you shouldn't be burdened by emotions, and you must know that you went in today for the future of our Li Shi, a momentary parting is not counted as What".

"I know..." Knowing is one thing, but being reluctant is another.

Pursing her lips, Hong'er turned around and hugged Zhuohua, and hugged Chen Shi, Li Mu and the others one by one, and finally froze her hands under Xie Qiong's slightly envious eyes.

Xie Qiong didn't give him a hug, but raised his eyebrows on purpose to look at him: "In the future, after we finish our studies, we will come to make gestures and see who is better, you, a student from Hanlin Xianzhuang, and I, a student from Yiyuan Academy. outperformed."

Hong'er was slightly taken aback, and asked: "Is this the afternoon of the battle?".

"Of course!" Xie Qiong was not polite at all.

Hong'er stared at him, and suddenly pursed her lips and smiled: "Okay, I have accepted your gauntlet."

"Words are unfounded, words are evidence!".

Xie Qiong seemed to be getting more and more concerned, probably because she was stimulated by Hong'er's suddenly confident appearance.

All the people around were staring at the two of them, but Xie Qiong suddenly turned around and went to the street shop, borrowed a pen and paper from the store, and wrote clearly in black and white, and finally the two children wrote their names on it together!

Chen and the others were amused. Li Mu originally wanted to stop this, but seeing Xie Junnan's side not obstructing him, he thought about it and felt that it would be good for the children to encourage each other, but...

Li Mu stepped forward, put one hand on Hong'er's shoulder, and put the other on Xie Qiong's shoulder: "It's a good thing for this person to have a heart of encouragement and comparison, so that he can be more motivated, but you have to protect this heart." Well, you must not spoil it in the future, you know?"

Li Mu was worried that because of this thought, they would all go down the wrong path in the end.

Hong'er grinned at Li Mulu: "Don't worry, father, my original intention will not change."

Xie Qiong promised: "Me too!".

The two children smiled at each other, and finally shook their fists fiercely, as if the "war" had been settled.

Time was running out, and after setting a "battle" with Xie Qiong, Hong'er could only enter the gate of Hanlin Xianzhuang by herself, carrying a bunch of things on her back. At the gate, many people lined up one after another. In the middle, he looked very petite. After he got his own bamboo raft, he walked a few steps in, and the little figure had completely disappeared...

"Am I late?" After the crowd, someone came quickly, with a slightly anxious look, it was obvious that they came here specially to see off Hong'er, but they still didn't catch up.

Everyone turned their heads and looked at the person who came, Chen smiled and said: "It would be better if it was earlier, Hong'er has already gone in."

Xiaoyue also looked up at him: "Uncle, why are you here now? My brother has already gone in."

Wan Tanxiu sighed softly, and patted the heads of Xiaoyue and Xiaoliu: "After the court was over, the emperor left me to talk about something in the imperial study, so I came too late." Saying that, Wan Tanxiu turned his eyes to look at Xie Junnan Go: "It's quite early for you to come back today."

Xie Junnan smiled lightly: "Taifu Temple was originally an idle position, and after the court was over, you can leave after you just click on the seat."

Zhuohua was slightly surprised when he heard this: "Is this position so leisurely?".

Wan Qixiu replied: "Yes, although Taifu Temple is only an idle position, this person is not low, and... the benefits are huge...".

Xie Junnan smiled frankly: "The benefit is great, but it is not as good as the emperor's new favorite, the great general of the town army."

Wan Tuxiu immediately narrowed his eyes slightly: "That's not what I said. No one knows. Now that the border war is over, our dynasty has always valued civility over military affairs. Even if it is a general, it is not as good as Shiro after all."

"Don't dare" Xie Junnan said: "Although my court has always valued literature over martial arts, it is not the case today. It can be seen that there are many places where I will need to rely on generals in the future...".

Zhuo Hua felt that the words of these two people, why there was a smell of... gunpowder smoke?

Ziqing coughed lightly, then suddenly asked: "Zhaohua, are you hungry?".

"Ah?" Zhuo Hua was stunned for a moment, and this time he was in awe, and saw that everyone turned their heads to look at him.

Ziqing said calmly: "I seem to hear your stomach growling just now, but are you hungry?".

"I didn't...".

goo...

Belly echoed Ziqing and sang an empty city plan.

This tacit understanding made Ziqing hold back his laughter for a moment, but Zhuohua felt an indescribable embarrassment for a moment...

This person is obviously not hungry, why did he suddenly scream?

In the end, because Zhuohua's stomach was playing tricks, Wan Qixiu and Xie Junnan had a temporary truce. Everyone got into the carriage and did not go back to the house. Instead, Xie Junnan was the host and took everyone to the big wine shop Ke Yaju for dinner. meal!

It was the first time for Li Mu, Chen Shi and the others to enter and leave this kind of place, and they felt a little uncomfortable for a while. The decoration of Keyaju's bad environment made the two of them secretly murmur that it might not be cheap to come to this kind of place to eat , and seeing that the people who came here were all rich or noble, Chen couldn't help feeling a little nervous.

Wan Chengxiu saw the two of them, smiled and said: "Sister, don't worry about it, a place like the capital is actually nothing here, besides, our identities are different now, you also Don’t be cautious, no matter how bad it is, isn’t there a live money bag here?”.

Xie Junnan said very kindly: "Speaking of which, you have been here for so many days, and I have never had the friendship of a landlord. Today, I received the light of Axiu and Zhuohua, which is considered to be a cleansing for everyone."

Chen shi hesitated slightly: "This...isn't that good?".

Zhuo Hua also said: "It's nothing, A Niang, don't worry."

Mrs. Chen turned her head to look at Zhuo Hua, seeing the inadvertent pride in Zhuo Hua's brows, as if he had paid for the meal, Mrs. Chen couldn't help being suspicious secretly.

Zhuohua didn't notice it, he just thought of something, and suddenly asked Xie Junnan: "By the way, didn't you and my second brother plan to open a restaurant before? I haven't visited it for so long, and I don't know how to do it." Done yet?".

"To open a wine shop?" Li Mu regained his energy immediately, turned his head to stare at the few of them, and even Wan Qixiu raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at Xie Junnan.

Xie Junnan nodded and said with a smile: "I just went to see it last time, and the decoration has been completed, and I just need to choose a good day to open for business."

Ziqing was immediately happy when he heard it: "That's a good relationship. Let's go and have a look when we run out of food in a while."

Xie Junnan nodded in agreement.

While several people were talking, they entered the private room of Keyaju.

There are several large bonsai in the box, and behind the screen there is a long table with reclining chairs for the guests to rest. There is also a stove beside the long table, but I don’t know what is covered on the stove. There is no sign of Mars, but as long as you get close to the fire, you can feel a burst of warm heat.

The location near the window, as long as you open the window, you can see the street outside, and you can vaguely hear the movement outside. Once inside, Mrs. Chen sat down by the stove to rest, but Li Mu and her two daughters , a little restless, looking here and there.

Zhuohua looked at them, although he didn't speak, but there was a smile in his eyes, and he was thinking secretly, when the whole family felt so good together, suddenly someone handed a teacup in front of him, Zhuohua looked up , Xie Junnan was looking at him with lowered eyelids.

Smiling slightly, Zhuohua took the teacup, held it to his lips and took a sip, the redness on both sides of his cheeks was not known whether it was caused by the heat in the teacup, or because of other factors.When Chen Shi looked at him, she couldn't help walking back and forth twice on him and Xie Junnan, and when she lowered her eyes again, Chen Shi didn't know what she thought of, and suddenly shook her head slightly.

Wan Tuxiu sat on one side crookedly, thinking of something, suddenly raised his eyebrows: "By the way, last time, did you see the thing you brought back last time?".

Xie Junnan was obviously taken aback, and when he turned his head to look at Wan Tuxiu's malicious eyes, he instantly realized what he was talking about.

"Look." Xie Junnan's face remained normal.

The corner of Wan Chengxiu's mouth suddenly hooked three points: "Then what are you prepared for?" Wan Chengxiu twisted his hands while speaking...

Xiaoyue smiled suddenly, turned around and threw herself into Wan Tuxiu's arms: "Uncle, you looked like a philistine just now."

Wan Tuxiu was startled, and suddenly laughed.

Xiao Liu defended his shortcomings, and moved closer to Wan Tuxiu, saying: "No matter how philistine my uncle is, I am still my uncle! I am still a very beautiful, very beautiful uncle!".

very beautiful……

Hearing these three words, Wan Chengxiu couldn't help but twitched his brows slightly.

Xie Junnan was listening, and laughed in a very shameless way.

The private room was opened, and a few people were talking and laughing, and the waiter brought in the food outside the door, one plate after another, almost filling the table, the two little girls couldn't help but widen their eyes when they saw the food on the table Wow, it came out, the appearance of a little bumpkin made everyone laugh for a while.

Chen Shi was still a little cautious at first, but when he looked at Xie Junnan and Wan Qixiu again, Chen Shi sighed in his heart, as if he suddenly wanted to be enlightened.

My younger brother is now a general, and their family is no longer the common people they used to be. In a place like the capital, if you care too much about everything, you will only embarrass your younger brother. Instead of doing this, it is better to open your heart That's it.

Thinking about it this way, everyone enjoyed this meal, and Li Mu was still thinking about what Xie Junnan said before, so he asked a few times.

Ziqing was also frank, and he explained the matter clearly in one mouth. Wan Chengxiu rolled his eyes, thinking of something, and suddenly asked: "Do you still have the original document? Show me it."

Ziqing was startled, then turned to look at Xie Junnan.

Xie Junnan just smiled slightly and said: "I didn't bring that thing with me, I'd better take it out some other day."

Hearing this, Wan Chengxiu squinted his eyes, not knowing what he was thinking.

After eating, everyone sat down for a while, and then Xie Junnan led everyone towards Xuanwu Street.

In front of the attic with the door closed, there was a lot of traffic, and it was very lively. Chen Shi and Li Mu only took a cursory glance, and they knew that this area is prosperous, and business is bound to come like a cloud. After Xie Junnan re-entered from the side door, Seeing that the interior has been completely decorated, even Zhuohua, who had been here before, couldn't help being amazed.

In the decorated attic, there is a sense of delicacy everywhere, from the carved beams and painted walls to the corridors and escalators, there is nowhere that is not full of delicacy, just like being in an exquisite pagoda with a The silk and satin are as thin as sand, dimly adorning the surrounding scene. The large lamp hanging in the center of the pavilion seems to be assembled like a lotus platform made of several glazed lamps. The light and shadow spots reflected by it are like stars.

In such a scene, even Wan Tuxiu, who had always been at odds with Xie Junnan, nodded secretly: "Not bad, the layout here is indeed more ingenious than other places."

Xie Junnan just smiled lightly and didn't answer.

Ziqing was stunned: "Such a decoration, I'm afraid it will cost a lot?".

"So what?" Wan Tuxiu didn't care, "You're the one who pays anyway."

Ziqing suddenly had a complex expression on his face: "Although I don't have to give all of it, I can give half of it...".

"That half is also saved." Turning his head, Wan Qixiu looked at Xie Junnan with a smile: "Is it? Shiro?".

"It should be so." Xie Junnan nodded and smiled: "As long as Zhuohua doesn't feel tired and his hands are sore in the future."

Everyone was obviously taken aback, obviously they didn't understand what Xie Junnan meant by these words, but...

Zhuohua suddenly remembered that Xie Junnan had said a word before.

: Make money for you and throw it around for fun.

Coughing lightly, Zhuohua hurriedly turned around and looked at Mrs. Chen: "Mother, Father, take a look, how is this place? Shall we go back and choose a date for the official opening?".

Chen didn't answer right away, she just looked at Ziqing and Xie Junnan for a long time, and then sighed softly: "It's not as easy as you said to open this place, even though it has been decorated, there are still many things to do needs to be prepared".

Wan Tengxiu said directly: "From now on, I will leave it to my sister, brother-in-law and Ziqing to take care of it. If you are too busy, just send people from the general's mansion. There is something to do, so that you don't get used to staying here. Still thinking about it."

Li Mu laughed loudly, obviously what Wan Qixiu told him was right on his mind.

Xiao Liu stood with Xiao Yue, looked up at them and asked: "Uncle, Aunt, if you want to open this place, should you make some gimmicks, so as to better attract customers?".

Wan Chengxiu nodded: "This is true."

"Don't worry, I've already thought about it," Xie Junnan said, "I've already talked to Ziqing about the business here, if a gimmick is needed, I wonder if the gimmick of the Four Gentlemen is enough?".

Everyone was obviously taken aback, and even Wan Tuxiu was a little surprised.

Zhuo Hua listened, he suddenly remembered something and said: "The Four Gentlemen you mentioned are the Four Gentlemen I argued with when I first met you?".

Xie Junnan nodded.

Zhuo Hua suddenly...had some disgust: "But why do I feel that he seems to have a false name?".

Xie Junnan: "...".

Zhuohua had a serious face: "And the painting back then was not good at first glance. Even a layman like me can see so much clumsiness. If I use him as a gimmick, will it ruin the signboard?".

Xie Junnan shook his head with neither laughter nor laughter: "The painting you saw last time is just a fake. The original work of the Four Gentlemen is worth thousands of gold."

Zhuo Hua suddenly opened his eyes wide: "Really?".

Xie Junnan nodded seriously.

Xiao Liu blurted out and asked: "Will that cause bad guys to spy on them and come to make trouble and steal?".

Xiaoyue was also shocked: "Isn't this very dangerous? Will it end up taking over the store?".

Xiao Liu's face was serious: "This kind of thing happened a lot in Taocheng before!".

"Let's forget it!" The two little girls said in unison, with a tacit understanding: "I feel that thing is so dangerous!".

Xie Junnan: "...".
