Therefore, it is not surprising to see many scholars behaving strangely now.
And today, health and happiness are the top priority.
When Xia Tingyu left [Mantanglou], she didn't even take a carriage, so she walked away with Kun Ling and Lang Gou who had been waiting outside the door.
As for Lin Ruoyun, Tan Songyan, and Zhai Zhiqiu, Lin Ruoyun and Xu Zuiyin left together, while the other two followed behind.
Xia Tingyu led the way without saying where she was going. Anyway, she just walked on the street. Tonight, Luo'an City was very lively wherever she went.
During these days in Luo'an City, Kun Ling and Lang Gou had been accompanying Xia Tingyu on walks like this, so they were used to it.
But Tan Songyan, Zhai Zhiqiu and Kun Ling were walking side by side, but they stopped talking several times.
But looking at Xia Tingyu, who had a leisurely look on his face, looking around and looking in a good mood, he didn't dare to say anything after looking at each other.
When he saw the Dongshi signboard in the distance, Lang Gou said, "Your Highness, Mr. Shen said before that he is waiting for us in Dongshi."
Xia Tingyu nodded, and then looked at the location of a stall selling glutinous rice balls on the roadside. Especially when she saw the stall's sign saying "sesame stuffing", "peanut stuffing", etc., she couldn't help but smile, and then mentioned the same old saying. Xiang Kunling: "Why can he think of everything?"
Kun Ling naturally knew who this 'he' was referring to, and immediately glanced at Zhai Zhiqiu and Tan Songyan, not daring to speak.
Xia Tingyu smiled and didn't say much.
Not far away, Mr. Shen Yueshen waved to them from the second floor of the first restaurant.
Going upstairs, there was a private room with only Shen Yue in it.
Shen Yue looked at Xia Tingyu and said with a smile, "Your Highness, can you let me have a look?"
Xia Tingyu glanced at Kun Ling.
Kun Ling immediately took out the paper and handed it to Shen Yue's hands.
After Xia Tingyu let Tan Songyan and Zhai Zhiqiu sit down casually, he sat on the chair and looked at Shen Yue and said, "I can't give you the original version. It's stamped. I have to put it away properly, so uncle looked at me." Just copy it."
Shen Yue smiled, then lowered his head and looked at [The Road to Shu is Difficult] in his hand, full of energy and horror: "The words are profound, powerful and elegant. What a literary talent. Among the people in the world, there are only a handful of people who can write such a chapter." No, but if you want someone with this kind of immortality, the only one is the Queen."
After that, Shen Yue started reading again, still praising him again and again.
After reading it, Shen Yue looked at Xia Tingyu with a wry smile: "I used to think that Li Jiulang and Cui Yu were brilliant in literature, but then I saw that Pei Nanzhi was the leading one, and Xun Kuang was even more talented. Now I look at the queen. How did you read this book?"
Xia Tingyu pursed her lips, how could she know.
but
After Shen Yue folded the paper and put it on the table, she still couldn't forget the witty and ups and downs of the poem. People from Shu could relate to it most.
After Xia Tingyu took a bite of the food on the table, she looked at Shen Yue: "Uncle, what do you think my father will do when he sees it?"
Shen Yue was stunned for a moment, and then said: "I guess I can smile a little, and then curse a few words, and that's it."
Xia Tingyu immediately said: "Father won't do that. He will probably look at me and say, 'Why can't you find a woman with such talent around you? Look at the little emperor!'"
When speaking, Xia Tingyu deliberately imitated King Shu's tone and spoke in a deep voice.
After hearing this, Shen Yue immediately laughed. After thinking about it carefully, he immediately nodded to express that this was really the case.
On the other side, Tan Songyan and Zhai Zhiqiu couldn't help but lower their heads when they heard the word 'little emperor', pretending they didn't hear it.
When Xia Tingyu saw the two of them like this, she didn't care at all. She just leaned back and looked out at the bustling market, and even at the lively scene in the East Market not far away: "Uncle, do you think the Queen did it on purpose? "
Hearing this, Shen Yue shook her head: "I'm not there, I don't know."
Xia Tingyu smiled and looked at Tan Songyan and Zhai Zhiqiu: "What do you two think?"
Zhai Zhiqiu said with a smile: "Princess Master, Lord Shen, students are just ordinary people, so I don't dare to make unreasonable remarks."
Tan Songyan obviously wanted to say a few words, but after hearing Zhai Zhiqiu's words, he lowered his head after thinking for a moment.
Xia Tingyu looked at Zhai Zhiqiu and praised: "Well said."
After that, Xia Tingyu continued: "I think it's not intentional, or there is nothing intentional or unintentional. It's just what you scholars guessed. People write articles and write about that place. Yes, I just used these few words to emphasize the importance of Shu, and it was regarded as a warning to my father. When I looked at him, I felt wronged for him."
Speaking of this, Xia Tingyu sighed: "But it doesn't matter whether it was intentional or not. Anyway, it has been sent out, and no one can control what others think. Moreover, if the father is really angry, then it is only him who is angry. Uncle, when are we going to leave or should I stay as a hostage? I really want to be a hostage. Thinking about walking back through that mountain road gives me a headache. The capital is so nice."
When Shen Yue heard Xia Tingyu's last words, she couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Your Highness, the prince didn't say when he would return to the capital. Mr. Fang said that after going to Yuan Dynasty, he asked me to go back with you. And the current situation still means that I can go back with you. Well, Mr. Yao, I heard that he also returned to Shu from Tubo."
hear the words
Xia Tingyu slumped down on the chair, with a look of grievance on her face. She even squirmed a few times, with a look of displeasure on her face: "Don't bother me to get back, me! I don't want to get back!"
After saying that, Xia Tingyu looked at Shen Yue with tears in her eyes.
Shen Yue had a headache on her face and really didn't know what to say. Her Royal Highness the Princess was extremely intelligent, but her occasional temper tantrums really gave people a headache.
Moreover, these are all spoken in the Shu dialect!
As far as he knew, Xia Tingyu could speak Shu dialect only when she was really unwilling to do something.
When Zhai Zhiqiu and Tan Songyan saw Her Highness the Princess's appearance, they felt inexplicably cute, but they did not dare to look any further and could only lower their heads.
Xia Tingyu sat on a chair and moaned, "Hmm~~~Ah~~".
but suddenly
Those fox eyes suddenly thought of something, and he suddenly returned to normal. He looked at Shen Yue and said, "Uncle, how about you say that Su Chang'an wrote this poem just to let me stay as a proton, so I stayed Down."
Hearing these nonsense words, Shen Yue immediately said: "Your Highness! This matter is not a trivial matter, and Mr. Fang personally said that he wants us to go back after Yuan Dynasty, there must be a reason, not to mention that there is no peace in the capital today, Zhou Anji, Zuo People like Cunxu who usually don't show up came out one after another, especially the Li family. I heard that they had cut off all business dealings with the Zuo family, Xu family, and Qi family a few days ago, and what's going on with Yandi now? , I don’t know yet, and in the Jianghu, the knife-raising conference has been unstable recently, especially the battle between Shentu Qiangyue and Yan Ruyu in the capital. So many Jianghu people are here, it is for this reason, and there are sayings A young man named Lu Cai appeared and killed many Jianghu people, and his destination was Raojiang. According to our intelligence, this Lu Cai is the queen."
When Shen Yue said this, she saw Xia Tingyu's foxy eyes staring at him, her cheeks were slightly bulging, she smiled bitterly again, and said nothing more.
Xia Tingyu said angrily: "There are all kinds of things like this, it's really annoying to me!"
After saying that, Xia Tingyu looked at Zhai Zhiqiu and Tan Songyan: "And they also sent people to stop the queen's reputation. As a result, they wrote a poem about the case of green jade and a poem about the road to Shu. These are not the first things in the poetry list. Tonight After that, I don’t know how many literati have been stopped. When I saw Zhou Anshen, I wanted to kneel down and perform the apprenticeship ceremony."
Hearing this
Zhai Zhiqiu and Tan Songyan stood up and bowed: "We are useless."
Xia Tingyu waved her hand: "It has nothing to do with you. It can't be stopped in the first place. What does it have to do with you? Moreover, both of you have good poems, and being able to present poems tonight is already a great achievement."
Zhai Zhiqiu and Tan Songyan lowered their heads in shame.
Xia Tingyu continued: "You guys, do you want to go back with us? Lin Ruoyun said that he wants to stay here for a while."
Lin Ruoyun and Zhai Zhiqiu were originally selected as county horses and came to the capital to perform in front of Xia Tingyu.
But after spending some time together, the three of them could actually see that Her Highness the Princess had no feelings for the three of them, so she had given up.
Therefore, Lin Ruoyun did not plan to go back for the time being.
Xia Tingyu just wanted to do whatever Lin Ruoyun wanted.
And then I heard Xia Tingyu's words.
Tan Songyan stood up: "The student has planned to follow the King of Shu and be loyal to His Highness the Princess."
Xia Tingyu looked at Zhai Zhiqiu.
Zhai Zhiqiu stood up and bowed his hands: "The student wants to stay in the capital temporarily and see the students in the capital."
Xia Tingyu Hu'er looked straight at Zhai Zhiqiu and asked directly: "Cao Shen plans to recommend you?"
Hearing this, Shen Yue looked deeply at Zhai Zhiqiu.
Zhai Zhiqiu was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect that the princess would find out, so he thought for a moment and said, "Master Cao wants to recommend me, but the student is temporarily..."
At this point, Xia Tingyu waved her hand: "You don't need to explain this to me. Originally, the three of you are not really members of the Shu Palace. You can come and go freely. Since Tan Songyan wants to surrender, Uncle Shen will make arrangements for you. As for you Zhai Zhiqiu, we naturally have nothing to do with you. However, if you want to stay in the capital and serve as an official, I would like to remind you that you can make friends with Yan Shu. With your talents and learning, you should be able to chat with Zuo Shaoweng. That's okay, but you have to be careful about Zuo Cunxu. If I am right about this person, he should also become an official."
When Xia Tingyu finished speaking, Shen Yue immediately said: "I would like to congratulate Zhiqiu for finding a good way out."
Zhai Zhiqiu immediately raised his hands and bowed.
Xia Tingyu smiled, but did not say anything more, and came out as an official in the Shu Palace to serve as an official in the capital.
There are quite a few Huahua intestines, but I don’t know what will happen next.
But
Isn’t this person recommended by Master? In other words, Master had planned for him to serve as an official in the capital from the beginning?
Thinking of this, Xia Tingyu also smiled, then thought about leaving immediately, so she slumped down on the chair again: "I'm so bored~~"
After saying this, he stood up suddenly and looked at the others: "Let's go, what are you doing sitting here? We've been to the Lantern Festival."
Hearing Xia Tingyu's words, Shen Yue smiled and ignored Zhai Zhiqiu. Instead, he stood up and said, "I asked someone to take a seat to see the iron flowers. Are you going now?"
Xia Tingyu nodded: "I haven't lived in the capital for many years. By the way, I can help my Kun Ling find a man."
With that said, he pulled Kun Ling and walked outside.
Shen Yue smiled and followed closely, calling Tan Songyan to leave together.
Zhai Zhiqiu wanted to leave here, but was stopped by Wolf Hook.
Lang Gou smiled and said, "Master Zhai, please don't go together."
Zhai Zhiqiu smiled, immediately bowed his hands, and then watched Lang Gou leave. After he breathed a sigh of relief, he thought of Zuo Cunxu.
He couldn't help but smile.
I thought in my heart that I really deserve to be a master and a disciple.
Because Mr. Fang, the person who asked him to be careful when he was an official, was also Zuo Cunxu of the Zuo family.
……
Zuo Cunxu didn't say a word tonight, or rather the number of words he spoke to others could be counted on one hand.
After the poetry reading, he took Zuo Shaoweng's hand and walked on the streets of Fangshi and started to talk.
Glancing at the Zuo family's carriage that was following not far behind him, Zuo Cunxu smiled and looked at Zuo Shaoweng: "Okay, just walk here. If you don't go back, the people in the carriage will have to teach you. "
As he spoke, Zuo Cunxu took out a money bag from his arms. It was bulging and heavy. After putting it into Zuo Shaoweng's hand, he said: "Don't be so sentimental, it's not for you, it's for my two great nephews." Yes, it’s normal for me as an uncle to give you some money during the Lantern Festival.”
Zuo Shaoweng wanted to shirk, but looking at the expression of this uncle who was only a few years older than himself, he nodded and saluted: "Thank you, Uncle Qi."
Zuo Cunxu smiled, and then glanced at Yan Shu, who had been waiting for Zuo Shaoweng over there: "I have made good friends, but don't fool around~~, it is nothing if you don't accompany your wife and children during the big festival!"
When Zuo Cunxu speaks, he always has the flavor of singing. Zuo Shaoweng is used to this.
After all, this uncle of mine is called [Shiling] for a reason.
Zuo Shaoweng heard this and immediately said: "They are waiting for me in Dongshi. They have made an appointment."
Zuo Cunxu chuckled: "That's my problem. Okay, let's go quickly. After the rest is over in a few days, my conferment will come down. Let's see you in the Hanlin Academy."
Zuo Shaoweng bowed deeply.
