Chapter 717: The Five-character roll material is like a **** (eighth update, please vote!)
When Feng Ziying stepped into the Shen Mansion again, everyone in the Shen Mansion was already very familiar with Feng Ziying, the prospective uncle, so there was no need for anyone to guide her, and Feng Ziying went straight to the hospital.
He saw Shen Yixiu sitting in the courtyard outside the flower hall, holding a book in his hand. There was also this mess on the stone table next to the courtyard wall. It was probably that Shen Yixiu was amusing himself with a freshly brewed cup. The good old man's eyebrows were still placed on the stone table, and the heat was curling up.
Looking at Shen Yixiu's sleepy look, as if he had just gotten up from a nap and was going to read a book and drink tea in the autumn sunshine, Feng Ziying suddenly felt ready.
“Don’t be frightened by wine and fall into a heavy sleep; gambling on books will make you lose the fragrance of tea.”
When he saw Feng Ziying walking straight in, Shen Yixiu couldn't help but roll his eyes. This guy was now entering and exiting the Shen Mansion as if there was no one around. The servants in the manor were not surprised and were about to tease him. But suddenly he heard these two lines of poetry recited from the other party's mouth.
couldn't help but cover his mouth in surprise, with a face full of surprise. Shen Yixiu suppressed the joy in his heart and walked over slowly, "Ziying, read it again, I haven't heard you clearly yet."
As soon as she saw Shen Yixiu's charming and charming face, Feng Ziying knew that she had made the right bet with these two lines of poetry.
Since these literary young women are so emotional, it is so simple to deal with them. It is indeed easy to be a civil servant. Of course, the excuse will be the same. The ancient temples are ruined, the walls are broken, and a good hand can be found occasionally.
Reading another article, I looked at Shen Yixiu's delicate and charming appearance, her inky black hair bun, a few strands of hair hanging down on her crystal-smooth and delicate ears, and her slightly reddish dimples, which were in perfect harmony. Under the autumn sun in the afternoon, it actually showed a thrilling dazzling beauty.
Feng Ziying couldn't help but gently approached and kissed her. Shen Yixiu, who was suddenly frightened, turned his head suddenly with disbelief on his face. However, he saw Feng Ziying's face was upright and calm, but he didn't know what to say, and his face turned red. She bit her cherry lips gently with her upper teeth, and after a long time, she said bitterly: "Could it be that Ziying regards my concubine as a woman who can come and go as soon as she is called?"
Feng Ziying knew that she and Shen Yixiu were not actually that familiar. It was only through two or three letters that the two of them knew each other somewhat. But the more this happened, the more Feng Ziying felt that such unexpected actions were needed to quickly close the distance between the two parties. After all, the wedding is only three months away, and being too unfamiliar by then will make it difficult for the two of them to adapt to becoming a family.
That's why he suddenly attacked Shen Yixiu while he was moved by these two lines of his poem.
As expected, although Shen Yixiu was a little sullen, it was still within control. But once there is such a subtle skin-to-skin contact, the distance between the two parties will be quickly shortened, and they will no longer be close to each other. There is conflict in getting along.
"Wan Jun is wrong, I will only do this to those I cherish. Maybe this is called being deeply in love without knowing the love." Feng Ziying responded with a smile.
Of course Shen Yixiu knew that these were words from Tang Xianzu's "The Peony Pavilion". She also liked watching Tang Xianzu's plays, such as The Four Records of Linchuan, so she was quite satisfied with Feng Ziying's quick response. Of course, more importantly, she got two sentences from Feng Ziying. Poetry is in the right mood.
"Hmph, can you explain the two lines of Ziying's poem just now?" Shen Yixiu still pretended to be angry. She knew that her fiancé was a bold and reckless person. If she didn't show her anger, she would just I'm afraid I'll have to push myself even further next time.
"Wan Jun still needs me to explain?" Feng Ziying also noticed Shen Yixiu's good mood, "I hope that next spring I can have a life like the one in the poem. Don't Wan Jun look forward to it?"
Xiafei's cheeks were amused by Feng Ziying's teasing words. Shen Yixiu understood more and more why many people said that his fiancé was wild and unrestrained. It was really the case. It was just that he was so good at coaxing girls. Why did they say that he was so unbridled? Not familiar with poetry?
According to Jun Yong, he even refused invitations from several princes to participate in poetry and cultural gatherings.
Naturally, Shen Yixiu would not ask Feng Ziying about these things. She just couldn't understand it. Feng Ziying's poetry level was definitely outstanding. Even though he only said a few words, he could write poems like this by touching the scene. It is more than enough for ordinary poetry and literary meetings.
Feng Ziying's words made her feel sweet, but her face still showed a sullen look. After snorting, Shen Yixiu held the scroll and took a step away from Feng Ziying, pretending to read.
Feng Ziying is not too selfish and keeps a distance. This kind of small fun between unmarried couples is fine once in a while. If it is too much, it will be counterproductive.
Qingwen, however, was very interested and came up with a smile and asked: "What kind of tea do you want to drink?"
“Well, is there any tea that matches your girl’s current mood?” Feng Ziying asked, tilting her head.
Qingwen blinked knowingly, "Are you trying to scare people?"
Feng Ziying couldn't help but praise Qingwen, with a smile on her face: "Qingwen still understands your girl, she is so scary!"
Shen Yixiu was also amused by this master and servant. No wonder Qingwen was so popular with Feng Ziying. Her agility and straightforward personality really made people reluctant to let her go.
The yard finally became quiet.
Today is the day of the Autumn Palace Competition.
Shen Yixiu is no exception.
When Shen Zizheng returned to his house, he found that his sister and future brother-in-law were already looking forward to it.
As a sister, although she has great confidence in her younger brother, she also knows how fierce the competition in the Qiuwei Competition will be. If she performs poorly, she may lose her reputation.
Shen Zizheng is certainly hardworking, but how can others relax?
Shen Yixiu even thought about letting Shen Zizheng study at Qingtan Academy. After all, Qingtan Academy is more famous now, but she finally gave up the idea.
Not to mention whether this would damage Shen Zizheng's self-esteem, Shen Zizheng would definitely not agree. Such a transfer would also bring shame to Chongzheng Academy and cause Shen Zizheng a lot of trouble in the future.
"Jun Yong, how did you do in the exam?" Shen Yixiu couldn't help but step forward when he saw Shen Zizheng coming back, his face full of anticipation.
Shen Zizheng nodded calmly, as if he had suddenly matured a lot after going through this exam.
"Sister, I did well in the exam. I think there should be no problem." Turning to Feng Ziying, Shen Zizheng had a little more complicated emotions. Although Shen Zizheng had accepted Feng Ziying as his brother-in-law for so long, but When I saw the other party, I still had a strange feeling, "Ziying, I still want to thank you. Without your reminder, I would not have gone so smoothly in this subject?"
“Oh?” Feng Ziying raised her eyebrows, “Why did Jun Yong say this?”
"The current policy review really examined the impact of the river engineering strategy on the areas along the rivers in Henan. I did a good job..." Shen Zizheng took a breath. He had to admit the excellence of the other party. Although he only gave guidance, he was actually impressed. He was right.
Moreover, this question is beyond everyone's expectations. Although everyone has no understanding of this, there are very few people who have thought about it in detail and depth. Fortunately, I am one of the few.
“Oh, I really took the river engineering exam.” Feng Ziying nodded, “It looks like Li Sancai is going to join the cabinet.”
“Huh?!” Shen Zizheng and Shen Yixiu shouted in surprise at the same time.
As the children of officials, they are not ignorant of some situations in the court. Li San is the minister of the Ministry of Industry. The cabinet is still short of a general assistant, but it has not been decided who will join the cabinet. In theory, Zhang Jingqiu, the minister of the Ministry of War, is the most popular Although Li Sancai is also popular as a candidate, he is not as good as Zhang Jingqiu.
"Why, is there anything surprising about this?" Feng Ziying smiled, "Master Li is quite favored by the Holy Spirit. River engineering and water transportation are particularly important to the current stable situation. In contrast, the rebellion in Western Xinjiang has been put down, and the situation in Liaodong has not yet been revealed. There are clues, my father has also taken office, and military affairs are not so urgent, so Mr. Li may be more suitable to join the cabinet now."
Feng Ziying said it very simply, and it seemed to be the same thing, but a major matter like joining the cabinet was obviously not as easy as he said. Of course, the factors he said were definitely true, but the specific inside story was not that Shen Yi was making peace. The two siblings Shen Zizheng can understand and understand.
Shen Yixiu was fine, but Shen Zizheng was doubtful.
He and Yang Sichang have always been on good terms, and Yang He, Yang Sichang's father, participated in the suppression of rebellion in Western Xinjiang last year. After returning, he was promoted to the right-hand censor of the Imperial Procuratorate. Yang He had a close relationship with Chai Ke, the left minister of the Ministry of War, so these news are also Can be informed.
According to what Yang Sichang said, Zhang Jingqiu gained the emperor's trust more, so Zhang Jingqiu should be more likely to join the cabinet.
"Ziying, I'm afraid it would be a bit difficult to judge such a big event as joining the cabinet..." Shen Zizheng shook his head.
"Oh, Jun Yong doesn't believe it? Why don't we make a bet? If Li Sancai joins the cabinet, Jun Yong will remember to owe me a bet. If I offend your sister in any way, you will be responsible for speaking out for me. Good words, well, if someone else joins the cabinet, I will lose a bet to Jun Yong, and if there is an assignment in the future, I will just do it, how about it?"
Feng Ziying said with a smile.
Feng Ziying's bet was not easy to get, and his bet was not easy for him. Shen Zizheng judged that if he lost, the bet would be nothing more than a bet, but it could dampen the opponent's spirit and make him dare not Look down on the people in the world, so that they will not always be on top of you and make people breathless.
"Okay, let's do it." Shen Zizheng agreed enthusiastically, "Ziying must not break her promise."
Shen Yixiu really liked the way his fiancé and his brother interacted in this way. Although this was obviously a trick by his fiancé to bring the two families closer, and he was using himself as a ladder, Shen Yixiu was still very happy.
Feng Ziying smiled and said, "Jun Yong underestimates me. Am I that kind of person?"
One month later, on October 29, Li Sancai was appointed as the Grand Bachelor of Dongge University.
