To The Land of Nevernight

When Tang Shen came back from looking for the book, Fu Wei didn't see the book, nor did he see Boy Wen Shu, so he asked him, "Where did that little boy go to play with the waves again?"

Tang Shen smiled and defended Wen Shuboy: "Mr. guessed wrong. We searched for a long time, but we still couldn't find it. Wen Shu called Fuqin Boy here, and only then did he know that the book was no longer in Mr.'s study. A few days ago, when my husband was admiring the flowers, he put it in the garden. So Wen Shu and Fuqin went to look for books first, and I came back first."

Not long after, Wen Shuboy and Fuqin Boy came back with books.

Fu Wei opened this collection of poems, and after appreciating them with his two students, he pointed to Wang Qin and said to Tang Shen: "Your brother just said that he was drunk."

Wang Qin held up the wine cup, still drinking glass by glass, as if he didn't hear Fu Wei's words.

Tang Shen: "Brother is drunk?"

Wang Qin looked at him and smiled lightly.

Fu Wei waved his sleeves and said, "That's all, that's all for today. You help your senior brother go back and send him home, but don't spread the news that the Minister of the Household Department passed out drunk on the street the next day throughout Shengjing City. I can't afford to lose this man!"

Tang Shen immediately stepped forward, he supported Wang Qin's arm, and led him out of the Fu residence.

Wang Qin seemed to be really drunk. As soon as he got into the carriage, he closed his eyes, tilted his head slightly, and soon lay his head on Tang Shen's shoulder.Tang Shen's body froze for a moment, and then he lifted the curtain of the car and said to the groom, "Let's go to Shangshufu first."

Along the way, Wang Qin always closed his eyes and fell asleep, Tang Shen didn't dare to move for fear of waking him up.When approaching Shangshu Mansion, the housekeeper was already waiting outside the door.

Tang Shen: "Senior brother seems to be drunk, so I will send him back."

The butler was shocked, and looked at Wang Qin who was resting on Tang Shen's shoulder in astonishment, and then at Tang Shen.He saluted slowly, and said: "Please trouble Mr. Tang." The housekeeper quickly ordered someone to help Wang Qin in, and Tang Shen got into the car and went home.

However, he did not expect that just after the door of Shangshu Mansion was closed from behind, the "drunk unconscious" Wang Zifeng suddenly opened his eyes and stood up straight.

Seeing this, the butler said in his heart that it was true.

The housekeeper took care of Wang Qin for more than ten years, and since Wang Qin came to Shengjing, he followed him.He had never seen Wang Qin drunk before. Firstly, Wang Qin could drink very well and it was difficult to get drunk; secondly, with Wang Qin's prudence and character, he disliked handing over control to others.Wang Qin would never do such a thing as a drunk.

Wang Qin stretched out his hand and took out a thin sheet music from his pocket.When he was in the carriage, Tang Shen quickly stuffed it into his arms while he was asleep.Presumably it was a gift for his 29th birthday.

The qin score is a remnant of the previous dynasty, which is invaluable. Wang Qin looked at this qin score firmly, but sighed in disappointment.He said: "Prepare the hangover soup."

The housekeeper asked in surprise, "My lord is drunk?" It doesn't look like it, his eyes are clear, and he walks steadily.

Wang Qin shook his head and smiled softly.

"Alcohol does not make people drunk, everyone gets drunk!"

On the other hand, after Tang Shen returned to the mansion, the book boy Fengbi has been waiting for the light for him.Because there was an early morning court on the second day, Tang Shenxu would definitely fall asleep before the hour.Feng Bi smelled the alcohol on Tang Shen's body, and asked intimately, "Young master, do you want to drink hangover soup?"

"……Um."

Soon, Feng Bi brought over the hangover soup that Aunt Yao had prepared earlier, and put it on the table in the study.Tang Shen held a book in his right hand and looked at it steadily.But after a long time, he didn't turn a page.After a long time, Feng pen reminded: "My lord, the soup should be cold."

Tang Shen was in a trance, gave a soft "hmm", then reached out to pick up the hangover soup.

Feng Bi exclaimed: "My lord, that is the pen holder, you took it wrong."

Tang Shen suddenly came back to his senses as if he had been hit in the face, his hand was unsteady, and the celadon pen container fell to the ground, falling all over the place.Fengbi hurriedly put it away, Tang Shen opened his mouth.After a while, he said, "Go out first."

Confused, Feng Bi put away the broken porcelain pieces and took them out of the study.

Tang Shen put down the book that he had been reading for half an hour but didn't read a single word.His fingers tightened vigorously, and then opened forcefully.He took a deep breath.

It never occurred to him that...

Senior brother actually thinks so much about him!

No, or rather, a month ago, that night in Shangshu's mansion, Wang Zifeng kissed his eyes through the back of his hand.Before that night, he had never thought about it, never dared to think about it.After that night, he had guessed it suddenly, so he avoided the other party, he avoided Wang Qin.He deceived himself, he told himself that maybe he was thinking too much, how could such a thing happen.

But what he heard in Fu's mansion today, he is destined to be unable to deceive himself any longer.

What kind of prince has been standing for a long time and has not married yet, not because he doesn't want to marry, not because he can't find the woman he likes, but because he likes men, because he has never found the man who makes his heart beat!

Tang Shen's heart was trembling violently, his lips and tongue were dry, he was shocked by his sudden recognition.

Half a year ago, in Youzhou Mansion, he persuaded Su Wenyun to make Su Wenyun think that Wang Qin was not broken.But Su Wenyun didn't know that he was also moved by the other party at that time.

Tang Shen closed his eyes and stopped thinking about these things.But when he closed his eyes, Wang Zifeng was all in front of him.

Tang Shen picked up the bowl of hangover soup and drank it down.However, he actually felt even more drunk, so drunk that he was dizzy, but it was difficult to fall asleep.

It was another night when I opened my eyes until dawn.

On the second day, after the morning court, Tang Shen only worked for half a day, so he asked for leave and went home to rest.

In the early court, he once looked at Wang Qin from a distance, and now they are not working in the same yamen, so there are few opportunities to meet each other.As long as you pay attention not to meet each other in the early morning, there will be no surprises.Wang Qin looked calm, nothing unusual, presumably he didn't know that he listened to all those words last night.

After hiding like this for two days, in mid-October, Tang Shen received a letter from Gusu Mansion.

The person who wrote the family letter was Tang Shen's uncle Tang Juren.In the letter, he first congratulated Tang Shen on his promotion, and then said some things about the Tang family.For example, Mrs. Tang had a serious illness last month. Fortunately, a famous doctor came back to life, so Tang Shen didn't have to worry.

Until the end of the letter, Tang Juren wrote: "At the beginning of September, His Royal Highness the Second Prince came to Gusu Mansion to serve as the defense envoy of Gusu. His Majesty the Governor hosted a banquet to welcome him, and I am honored to be among them. A few days ago, the Gusu Mansion built a strange thing called Bingbu Yinqi Village. I thought it had nothing to do with the Tang family, but on the sixth day of the lunar new year, His Royal Highness decided to expand the Bingbu Yinqizhuang, and all the country gentry and rich men in Gusu are invited to supervise it."

Seeing this, Tang Shen was quite surprised.

Others don't know what Yinqi Village of the Ministry of War is. Even Su Wenyun and Yu Chaosheng may not dare to say that they know the whole thing, but Tang Shen does.Two years ago, the court officials wanted to promote "paper currency" and used Duzhisi as a cover, which ended badly.Today's Yinyinsi, or the Yinqizhuang of the Ministry of War, is a new cover for "using paper currency".

The implementation of Yinqizhuang of the Ministry of War went very smoothly. Whether it was Wang Qin or Tang Shen, all officials related to the Yinyin Division were rewarded by the emperor.The Bank of the Ministry of War Yinqizhuang will continue to implement "paper tokens" in real terms.This speed is controlled by Wang Qin, he will find the most suitable Qiji, and implement it at the most suitable place and time.

But how could the second prince, Zhao Shang, suddenly want to intervene in the errand of Yinqi Village of the Ministry of War?

Tang Shen was in doubt.After waiting for a few days, he knew that the other two princes also wanted to do some errands. After making some achievements in the place where they worked, he suddenly realized: Zhao had not necessarily known what Yinqizhuang of the Ministry of War did, and he just wanted to do it. His achievements made the emperor admire him more than his two brothers.Then he chose Yinqi Village of the Ministry of War.

This matter is neither big nor small.

After all, Zhao Shang is a prince, not just a small Gusu defense envoy.He really wanted to intervene in the affairs of the Yinqi Village of the Ministry of War, and no one would dare to stop him.If Zhao Shang was allowed to make any troubles, it would not be a matter of Zhao Shang missing the throne in the future, and Wang Zifeng's two-year bureaucracy would also come to naught.

Tang Shen knew that he should tell Wang Qin about this, and remind him if he should take some precautions.But now he doesn't dare to see Wang Qin, he can't say no to his senior brother, but he can't accept such feelings either.

After thinking hard, Tang Shen came up with an idea.

He deliberately inquired that Wang Qin was summoned into the palace by Zhao Fu on a certain day, so Tang Shen rushed to visit Wang Qin before he returned to the mansion after he left the office.

The housekeeper said: "If you go back to Young Master Tang, our young master has not come back yet, please go to the flower hall and wait."

Tang Shen often came to visit Wang Qin in the Shangshu Mansion, and most of the time the two senior brothers just had a light meal together.The two of them lived very close to each other, so it was very convenient to move around.It often happened that Tang Shen came, but Wang Qin hadn't come back yet, the housekeeper didn't take it seriously, and just wanted to lure Tang Shen to the mansion.

Unexpectedly, Tang Shen showed a hesitant look this time, he said: "I still have something to do today, since senior brother didn't come back, I won't bother you. I have a letter I want to send to senior brother, please pass it on for me."

The butler was stunned, and took the letter.

Half an hour later, Wang Qin returned to the mansion and heard about Tang Shen's visit but not entry.He raised an eyebrow, opened the letter and read it.Seeing Tang Shen telling himself insinuatingly that the second prince seemed to want to meddle in the affairs of Yinqizhuang, the military department of the Gusu Mansion, Wang Qin was slightly startled, he stared at the letter fixedly, and remained silent for a long time.

After a long time, he sighed, "He did it on purpose."

The housekeeper on the side was very puzzled.

Wang Qin asked, "When he came to the door today, did he wear official robes or ordinary clothes?"

The butler replied: "Official robes."

Wang Qin: "Look, if he really wanted to be a guest, why would he come wearing an official robe? He didn't think about staying too long, he just delivered the letter. He knew that I was definitely not at the house, Only then can I prepare a letter in advance." After a pause, Wang Qin suddenly stood up, and he was very surprised: "Such an important matter, he shouldn't just tell me in a letter, even if he always avoided me before. When encountering such a major event, you should know the urgency of the situation and not be so perfunctory."

Walking two steps back and forth in the hall, Wang Qin said firmly, "He definitely knows, he no longer doubts and guesses, he is sure. How could he be so sure all of a sudden?"

After a long time, Wang Qin couldn't laugh or cry and said, "So he heard that night!"

The next day, Tang Shen got out of the Yamen and just returned to the mansion. He was having dinner with Tang Juan when Feng Bi ran into the house suddenly: "My lord, Lord Wang is here."

Tang Shen's chopsticks landed on the table with a clatter: "Which Lord Wang?"

Fengbi gave Tang Shen a strange look: "Master Wang Qinwang."

Tang Shen immediately said: "Just say that I'm sick and I'm not suitable for seeing guests!" Just after finishing speaking, Tang Shen quickly said to himself: "No, no one can fool Wang Zifeng, he is the ancestor of deceitful people. Think To lie to him, you have to lie to yourself first. I'm really sick, I'm very sick, I can't get out of bed soon."

As soon as the words fell, Tang Shen ran out of the hall and ran to his room.Only halfway through, he ran back again: "Don Juan, where is your rouge?"

Tang Juan had already been frightened by Tang Shen's series of actions, and after a long time she said blankly, "In...in the room?"

Tang Shen: "Lend me to use."

Don Juan: "Huh?!"

Tang Shen ran to his sister's boudoir at an extremely fast speed, and took out a box of rouge from the dowry.Then he ran back to his room, lay down on the bed, and covered himself with a quilt.

Outside the door, Wang Zifeng was wearing a dark red official robe, leaning on the sedan chair and waiting quietly.He was holding a brocade-faced folding fan in his hand, beating one after another in his palm, looking elegant and graceful.

Feng Bi ran out the door and said, "Master Wang, my young master is ill and cannot see guests."

Wang Qin made a concerned and worried expression: "Little brother is actually sick? Then I have to go see him. Lead the way."

Feng Bi originally wanted to say something, but when he looked up and saw Lord Wang's gentle and quiet smile, he closed his mouth and led the way obediently.

Young master, it's not that Fengbi is useless, it's like this for anyone!
