Chapter 8

Of course.

"Hanzhi, wake up, you should go to the Hongwen Museum in a while." Qin Ronggu stretched his waist and walked over, "Grape juice is available when you wake up."

Zhou Hanzhi hummed and opened his eyes, and grabbed Qin Ronggu's sleeve in a daze, but didn't want to let go.

In summer, the ice-cold grape juice in the golden bowl of Bai Yucuo is nothing compared to Qin Ronggu.

"Then you can carry me, I can't get up." Zhou Hanzhi rubbed his eyes.

"Of course, I'm very happy. I'm afraid you will regret it before you leave the Prince's Mansion."

After hearing this, he smiled and stood up by himself, "It makes sense, I'd better go on my own."

cool locust shade

The white locust tree was like a snowy wind blowing fragrance. Zheng Yan came to the Hongwen Museum in the afternoon, leaning against the locust tree with arms folded and eyes closed.

Hearing footsteps, he opened his eyes and smiled brightly, "I thought Xianyan wouldn't come this afternoon."

"It's late," Zhou Hanzhi said, "Master Zheng is leaning on the tree again, not to mention that you have no bones, but there are occasional stinging insects on this tree, so don't lean on it."

"You think so for me, of course I want to listen." Zheng Yan raised his eyebrows, "You won't come to Hongwen Museum tomorrow?"

"It's getting hot, and I want to take a rest too. Stop poking around outside, Xiaoli Zheng, come in and sit." Zhou Hanzhi walked into Wenhan Pavilion.Lu Keli propped his forehead and took the book but couldn't turn the pages. When he looked carefully, he was dozing off, so he went out again.

"I'll go back to cook the paste later, come over and have a chat with Mr. Jiang and wait for you. If you don't come, I'll go to Mr. Zhou's mansion to find you?"

"Ah..." Zhou Hanzhi was stunned, "How about... I'll find you instead. I'm here to find you in Linzhi Hall."

Zheng Yan held the folding fan and nodded, "That's fine. But Xianyan, I think you don't want to go out with me when you have nothing to do, maybe you have hidden beauties at home."

"I'm bored in the mansion, can't I make gold?" Zhou Hanzhi smiled.

"I'm leaving, don't give it away either, drink more light tea in hot weather." Zheng Yan picked up a bunch of Sophora japonica flowers and dangled them out.

Zhou Hanzhi quietly took the book in Lu Keli's hand, pinched his face and read it for a while, feeling bored, then rubbed the ink and continued to copy the half-written book in the morning.He copied the word "compassion" but thought of Qin Ronggu. Qin Ronggu had always been looking for him. He had never seen what Qin Ronggu looked like when he was in front of a bunch of names in the official department.

Thinking about it, he is gentle and moist and rarely gets angry, and he often scrutinizes and examines carefully but cannot avoid a few harsh words.When I went back in the morning, I heard Qin Ronggu talk about Yuanzhou's floods and taxation. He smiled and didn't say which adult was greedy for ink and dereliction of duty. .

Being distracted by thinking, Zhou Hanzhi looked again, and at some point he wrote the character Qin, and a piece of paper became useless.

"Oh, I actually fell asleep." Lu Keli swung his arms and opened his eyes. He patted his forehead, "I made Xianyan laugh, and I don't want to come tomorrow—"

"Master Lu has the ability to take care of you a little bit more, we youngsters don't understand anything, so it's okay to take a break." Zhou Hanzhi got up and poured a glass of water for Lu Keli.

"Xian Yanjing will coax us old men. Forget it, take a good rest, and you will be back within a few days of counting on your fingers. After a while, you will ask someone to carry the old books in the box and hang them out to dry. It's too late to sleep, so I have to go out quickly."

"You go first, I will go as soon as I finish writing this."

Zhou Hanzhi found someone to move the book out to dry, and he took a copy of "Shuowen" and leaned against the locust tree to read it. Suddenly, he remembered that he had just said that Zheng Yan should not lean against the tree. After a long time, he would not realize it. I smiled helplessly.

A gust of wind just blew through the book, and on the opened page was written Jiao Ming Shenniao.This is not a common bird, Zhou Hanzhi had heard about it from Zheng Yan, he didn't know what the bird looked like, and naturally he didn't know that this was the one engraved on the red agate that Zheng Yan gave him.

"Niaobu characters, invented in the east, Jiaoming in the south... Central Fenghuang." He bent down and closed the book, without paying attention to it, and imitated Zheng Yan to pick up a bunch of Sophora japonica flowers and smell them.

He could smell the fragrance of Sophora japonica flowers when he was sitting in the room, no wonder Lu Keli fell into a dark dream when he dozed off with a book in his arms.

heavy bloom

Qin Rong got up early, but thinking about it, it's still harder in winter. When it was dark, he got up early and went to wait outside the palace. Zhao Yu couldn't follow him, and the lantern was not allowed in the palace to prevent him from getting out of the water.It's hot in summer and it's easy to get up early, so he still doesn't want to disturb Zhou Hanzhi's sweet dreams, except Zhou Hanzhi seldom sees him after waking up except when he's sleeping or during festivals.

Last night, after a long time of tidying up the books, Zhou Hanzhi fell asleep in the dark, and when he woke up, the sun was shining brightly.After he got dressed, he ran out of the house. Fuyan was setting the table, so he quickly followed.

Half a month ago, Lu Keli gave him some of his own bowl lotus seeds. He carefully pried open the hard shell of the lotus seeds. Qin Ronggu asked someone to move the fish tank and put it in the yard and threw the seeds in. He didn't take it to heart. Rong Gu took care of him when he was fine.The cicadas stopped singing last night, Qin Ronggu and he didn't want to go back to the house and sit on the steps chatting, suddenly thought of the bowl of lotus, went over to see the lotus leaves half the size of a palm, and pulled out a few buds from it Come.

Zhou Hanzhi was anxious to see how the flowers bloomed. This is Lu Keli's own precious treasure. The color of the flower is deep red to purple, but it rarely produces seeds.

Qin Ronggu was actually standing in the yard, wearing a light three-green bottomed shirt with waxy white edges and a clear gauze dress, with his back turned to him in a cool suit, facing the fish tank with wisteria and rose flowers on a green background, I don't know what he was doing .Zhou Hanzhi walked over quietly, and saw that the usually stable prince was pressing the leaves of the lotus with his fingers in a trance, and the leaves floated out without getting wet, so he pressed down again.

"Hanzhi, don't shoot me, I've already seen your shadow." Qin Ronggu turned around and looked at his expression, "Finally woke up?"

"..."

"I went to eat first, I just came back early today."

"Are you okay today?"

"After chatting with a few adults, I think there is something important. I will take you there when everyone is resting in the evening."

Zhou Hanzhi nodded and stared at the bowl of lotus for a long time, and after eating, he was bored in the room to paint, with purple incense burning in the flower smoke, Qin Ronggu was holding a volume of history books and casually flipped through them.

"Does Hanzhi know General Qu Yingyun Qu?"

"I have seen it in the biographies of Xuanshi in the Hongwen Museum. I don't know which one it is, but I know its loyalty."

"At that time, there were Di Lun people in the northwest of the west of the country, and there was the country of Niangzi in the past. I don't know why the historian at that time wanted to name the country of Niangzi, but the people of this small country were all powerful, even better than Di. Lun iron cavalry. In the 41st year of Chunfeng, the Xuan Dynasty was in danger of falling apart, and when it rebelled, General Qu went out to fight and wiped out this gang of barbarians who burned, killed, raped and looted, and died in their country. Later, Emperor Shengde Zhongxing, this is Stabilize the country."

"If I remember correctly, General Qu is still the husband of Princess Renning. The princess did not give up her husband and died after General Qu died."

"Yes, it is written in the book that when he left, he said to the eldest princess: 'I am not afraid of death, and I am not merciful to you. The country is more important than you, and you are incomparable. There are also people who have lost their country's reputation for thousands of generations and are ashamed of the world. There is no hero in the time, so I have become famous.' He is a hero, and future generations should also have some respect."

"Why are you talking about this?" Zhou Hanzhi put down his pen and looked at him, "Still, what happened in a while has something to do with General Qu."

"You dare to guess, and you guessed quite right. Recently, I don't know which romantic talent thinks that he has a long life. He wrote a book and arranged General Song, saying that he went to the country of Niangzi because he did something wrong to Princess Renning. Book What is written in the book looks like a personal experience, and those who don't know the official history will believe it after reading it."

"How are you going to deal with it?"

Qin Ronggu closed the book and shook his head, "I don't know how to deal with this matter in my capacity. I value history in my dynasty, and there are few concealments in historians' writings, but it is still hard to prevent people with ulterior motives from making up their own assumptions."

"I will write down my words and deeds for you in the future. Do you want to mention my name?" Zhou Hanzhi smiled, "I won't write down such secrets."

"Of course I have to write it. I don't know how to write it. It seems that I have a friend, Mr. Zhou, who has both talents and virtues. His teeth are white and his lips are bright. We are very close."

"..." Zhou Hanzhi glanced at Qin Ronggu, Qin Ronggu smiled for a long time, but he didn't talk nonsense.

"Let's not talk about that, let's talk about that daring scholar first. This matter cannot be spared. If people in the world spread it one after another, gradually doubt and confuse loyalty and evil, and judge famous officials and generals with malice, how can they be saved? If there is no present A literati had a rift with me, so he wrote a book saying that I was ugly, short-sighted, and indiscriminate, licentious and immoral. I am afraid that my father would ask me to ask after reading it. If this book Then write some self-made "secret history" and love love, ignorant people try to write a fancy word, don't I want to be scolded to death?"

"The written historical events of various dynasties can lie, but all generations rely on this to know the past. After the Hongwen Museum has studied it, it has burned some absurd pseudo-historical gossip."

"In the afternoon, you and I go to the teahouse and wait for that person to come out. You don't have to say anything to him, just listen to him talking nonsense in front of people with a smile on your face, so that he can't notice anything. Master Jiang will hand over this bag tomorrow. gang."

"Master Jiang is going too?"

"It's not just Mr. Jiang, this kind of good show can't be much. Some people will watch it. I can't find his book, so I should pay more attention to it, or someone will bite me and say that I have nothing to prove. I don't know if it's appropriate or not. I am also afraid of overstepping my post, but I have to arrest him before I can settle down. If I don’t punish them severely today, it will be me and you who will be arranged in the future. There are barnyard officials who collect poems to know the truth of the people, but I can’t tolerate the barking of dogs. side."

Test your heart

Qin Ronggu ate dinner in the palace and accompanied the emperor for a walk in the garden.The pomegranate is red, the lingxiaohua has climbed halfway
