Chapter 26

For example, sweeping the house, before sweeping, the appearance is passable, but once you rummage through boxes and cabinets and throw away redundant things, the room will be messy. At this time, you are most likely to become suspicious—doubt that there is something wrong with sweeping, why the more you tidy up, the more messy the house becomes.But once the cleaning is done, the house is clean and the windows are clean, and everything is in its proper place, wouldn't it be convenient?Besides, there are scientific examinations in the dynasty, and there are so many talented people every year, why worry about no one. "After speaking, he poked Zhou Hanzhi's swollen cheeks with sugar in his mouth.

"Hmm..." Zhou Hanzhi pushed Qin Ronggu's hand away, "I listen to Rong Gu's reasoning, but I just want to hide you and leave you alone. You will be busy tomorrow, so I won't run around if I have nothing to do."

"Be careful with yourself. From now on, three more people will secretly protect you. If strangers or people you don't know approach you, you must refuse. I should have a lot of work tomorrow. I will go to Fengtian Gate to listen to the government in the morning. , The rest of the day is estimated to be in the Wenhua Palace. Considering that he proposed to change the salt system when he was still the prince, and ordered the Fa University to carry it out the year before last, I will go to see the brochure presented by the Secretary of the Ministry of Households tomorrow."

The sky is clear, the warm wind is intoxicating, the green leaves are violent, the clusters of fine white flowers are blooming, and the gold and jade are splashing, attracting bees and butterflies.

Zhou Hanzhi was flipping through the Hebu income and expenditure book page by page under the window. Hearing the buzzing of bees, he put down the book and rubbed his forehead.Liu Zhanfang, who was sitting opposite, also raised her head, put down her pen, looked out the window and yawned.

"Yuanwailang hasn't come back yet?" Zhou Hanzhi asked.

"No." Xin Cha replied standing outside the window with a butterfly in his hand.

"It's hard for Mr. Yu to run around on errands. The principals have already gone back. Zhan Fang should go back first. I will leave someone here to wait."

"It's okay, you've been busy all afternoon, let's go first. Heng Xu and I stopped by and just stayed here and waited for him to go back together." Liu Zhanfang smiled and waved his hands to let Zhou Hanzhi go first.

"Trouble Zhanfang." Zhou Hanzhi stood up and squeezed his wrist, Xincha happily followed and prepared to go back.

Zhou Hanzhi saw that it was getting late and was about to drive back to the palace. Just after turning the corner, he saw Jian Yin and Zheng Yan's personal servant Ming Sha standing under the wall. Ming Sha saw him walking over quickly.

"Master Zhou, yesterday my lord came back from the Yuanzhou Family Festival ahead of schedule. My lord was too tired, so he rested at Nora Gyoen. Let me pick you up to have a meal and chat there in the afternoon. You promised my lord earlier, we I told Jian Yin, sir, don't miss the appointment."

Zhou Hanzhi thought about it, and felt that the place Zheng Yan made an appointment with was not quite right.Thinking about it again, even if Zheng Yan's mother and Marquis Luli reconciled, Zheng Yan is still Qin Ronggu's cousin and still the emperor's relative, so it is understandable to live and rest in the imperial garden.

"Rong Gu knows?" He asked Jian Yin, who nodded with a smile.

"Lord Zhou, don't worry, it's just that His Majesty is still discussing matters with the other adults in the Wenhua Palace, so let me wait here and say to you that I am at ease."

"But," Zhou Hanzhi thought for a while, he frowned and said with doubts in his heart, "I..."

"Do I still dare to lie to Mr. Zhou? My lord has really come back, so I brought a token." Ming Sha said and handed Zhou Hanzhi a Xiuying old white jade bat pendant. In addition to the moiré embroidered belt with silver border on the bottom and several woven silver spun yarn belts, there are three pearl tassels, each with a red agate ring in the middle, and the chalcedony cut through the material into water drops is adorned on the bottom of the pearl tassels.Zheng Yanruo was wearing dark and cool clothes, most of them were wearing this bat necklace given by his mother, which happened to be the only one on his clothes when he left the capital.

"Okay." Zhou Hanzhi returned the jade pendant, "I'll leave with you when I write a letter for Xincha to bring over."

"It's not too early when we get there, Mr. Zhou is still hungry, I won't fool you, everyone who comes and goes has seen me. You ask Jian Yin to send the letter back, so that there is no need to be in a hurry, and Xin Cha can take care of you The horses are ready, sir, you can go."

"It makes sense, then let's go." He smiled, maybe he was overthinking, even if the people in Suzhengtai were capable, no one could enter the gate of Yuyuan except Cheng Shu, let alone anyone who was stupid enough to blatantly threaten him. he.As for Jian Yin - he has always been mature and prudent, and has never made a mistake in his work.

Yeliang Royal Garden is built in the southern suburbs of the royal capital, adjacent to Wenfeiyu Market.Among them, the pavilions were renovated, and the buildings and buildings were all decorated with Haichang blue glaze.Since the Xuan Dynasty was passed down, and now the royal family is dying, few people come to the imperial garden.Walk to the towering and lush trees nearby, and the sound of birds singing is like weeping, and listen carefully to someone blowing the silver-character sheng lonely.

When he was about to arrive, Mingsha's horse stopped suddenly, he frowned and got off the horse, walked to Zhou Hanzhi, quietly handed over a pack of crispy candies and said, "This is the crispy candy I bought from Yuanzhou, Mr. Zhou took it , if you think it still catches your eye, you can eat two yuan to try something new." After speaking, he led the horse and walked behind.

Zhou Hanzhi thanked him and took Sutang, got off his horse and led the reins and walked. When he got to the gate of the imperial garden, he saw that the gate was half open, and the screen wall just covered his figure. From a distance, I saw Zheng Yan standing at the door, talking and laughing with a woman standing under the oleander.

Oleander is flourishing, and the large and pink flowers bloom among the thin leaves without hesitation.The woman has a slender figure, and her soft hair is tied into a hanging bun. On both sides are pearl pink jade hibiscus hairpins with white tassels. heavy gauze skirt.The flower wall complements the daughter, making her more shy and more refreshed.

Zhou Hanzhi handed the horse over to Xincha, and was about to walk there with Mingsha.

"Master Zhou, this gate has been around for a long time. Half of the door leaf fell off yesterday, and it was just repaired this morning. Let's go in with another door."

"That's fine." Zhou Hanzhi smiled nonchalantly, "Who is that... the girl inside the door?"

"Oh, that's... that's my lord's cousin, who came from Yuanzhou together. She's only sixteen or seventeen years old, and she's very lively and cute. I thought I'd introduce it to Lord Zhou, but I was first You saw the face."

"Haha, it's okay, if it's Ah Yan's cousin, I haven't seen Miss clearly from a distance away, and I only recognize Ah Yan by her figure." Zhou Hanzhi said, but felt that the girl's figure was quite familiar.Maybe all girls are so lively and lovely when they are young, and it is not impossible to have a similar figure and behavior.

He and Ming Sha entered through the west gate of Nora Gyoen, and Ming Sha stopped in front of a desolate courtyard.

"Master Zhou, my lord said that chatting here is more interesting. We have already prepared pastries and beer on the stone table. You go in first, and I will call your lord."

Although Zheng Yan would not harm Zhou Hanzhi, Zhou Hanzhi suddenly felt something bad, and the guards who followed secretly had been stopped outside the imperial garden, he turned to leave, and after thinking about it, he smiled and said: "I'm not tired, why don't you go with me?" Ming Sha, you go find Ah Yan together."

"Then please move and follow me, my lord." Ming Sha sighed, and suddenly pushed Zhou Hanzhi into the yard with force. Zhou Hanzhi was ready to grab his wrist, but Mingsha twisted his wrist so painfully that Zhou Hanzhi couldn't help it. Working hard, he shoved Zhou Hanzhi hard and quickly went out and locked the courtyard door.

"There are thieves among them, they came here without asking, and all guards please watch over them!" He heard Ming Sha say.

"Okay, thank you Ming Sha. You will go back with Tan Xuan in a while, so don't tell Tan Xuan about this." It was a woman's voice, but not Cheng Shu.She clapped her hands, and the courtyard was filled with the sound of soldiers coming and going.

Zhou Hanzhi immediately turned around and climbed up the locust tree in the courtyard, hid among the leaves and saw Mingsha standing not far from the door, surrounded tightly ten steps away from the courtyard.

The woman who spoke was well-maintained, she was only in her 30s, her appearance was plump and white, her eyebrows and eyes were gorgeous and solemn, she was wearing a large-sleeved shirt with white egret and iris at the bottom, and the five-color silk lotus flower on the collar was soft and beautiful, and the apricot red The large pleated snow silk skirt has intricate tassels.The crow's hair is tied into a fragrant bun near the cloud, the dragonfly's wings are plum blossom tinsel, and a branch of emerald green butterfly with many treasures is inserted, and two pairs of pearl pendants are worn on the ears.

Seeing the woman's two pairs of earrings, Zhou Hanzhi jumped off the tree and leaned against the door and said, "Chouhua Dachang Diji is going to imprison the lower officials? I don't know when the Dachang Diji will return to the capital. How many lower officials are there?" offend."

"As soon as I opened my mouth, you guessed my identity. But—" the woman outside the door came over and said slowly, "I am not afraid of you. No one has ever come here, only a thief. No need It took a lot of effort. The food in the courtyard is only enough for half a day. I want to see what Rong Gu will choose when I tell Rong Gu three days later. Should I agree to marry a girl from Shu Wan, or marry Ben Gong? Let you starve to death here because of your stubbornness. A person like you is unethical, spoiling Rong Gu, and making me sick! Starving to death is a clean way to die."

After hearing this, Zhou Hanzhi smiled helplessly behind the door. It seems that he has offended a lot of people recently.

Zhou Hanzhi looked around, and the corners of his mouth could not help but curl up slightly.Qin Supo probably regarded him as a frail little scholar, but since he can climb trees, it would not be difficult for him to follow the tree and climb over the wall.

Just treat him as a fool, it's true that he hasn't done anything like climbing a tree for a long time.

He looked at the clothes he was wearing today, there were two layers of tulle, one layer was a clean frost color, and the other layer was a bright white color with blue edges.An old silver pleated skirt, a white embroidered daizhu long-sleeved shirt with a layer of cicada-winged silk clothing, an ink mark was stained on the wrist at some point, against the pale complexion, if you hold another book in your hand, you will definitely see it. If you don't come out, you are a person who can escape over the wall.

Zhou Hanzhi pretended to pat the door and shouted "Let me out", then turned and went to the front of the house.

The house is neatly furnished, even if you look at it roughly, you can see that it has been cleaned up, which is far from the desolate scene of dead leaves and weeds in the courtyard.The picture of Begonia nymph and butterfly is hung on the five-legged incense table inside the huanghuali, and the asparagus in the green flower pot with entwined branches grows
