Manchu civil and military bow down

Chapter 31

The day before the national academy quiz.

Xu He was hooked up by the buddy behind him, who smiled meanly and gave him five fingers, "I heard that General Xu is coming back, come on, this number, 50 taels, I'll take care of you ?”

When Xu He was accosted for the first time, he was a little confused, and turned his head politely and obediently.After listening to his well-intentioned proposal, she turned cold and turned back immediately, ignoring all the reasoning.

The students at the back table did not give up, "Hey! It's only 50 taels!"

Xu He simply covered his ears and lay down on the table, not listening to him.

Does he look like someone who can fail a test? !

The quiz is tomorrow, Xu He has a cheat, so don't panic, but in order not to attract attention, he still pretends to take out a stack of books and place them on the table to read.However, he didn't read a single word.Gu Gu was lost in ecstasy, looking left and right, it was really boring, so he just lay down and watched Xue Chengyu practice calligraphy next to him.

Xue Chengyu suddenly started to practice calligraphy recently. In fact, Xu He said that his calligraphy is good enough and there is no need to practice it.If he could write like him, he planned to write and sell it.

But everyone has his own ambitions.

Spoil yourself, he is so vulgar.

When Xue Chengyu was writing, he always sat upright, and even held the pen extremely gracefully.

Xu He thought boredly, wouldn't he be tired?

The brilliant afternoon sun fell on Xue Chengyu's other side, with golden light floating around, dazzling and warm.The light passed over his jade crown, black hair, eyelashes, nose bridge, and lips in turn.Like pearls and jade.

This afternoon, it was too quiet.

Xu He watched and fell asleep.

Xue Chengyu woke her up after school.

This time has come to the end of March, early April.

The peach blossoms are beginning to fade, while the pomegranates are beginning to bloom, clustered beside the palace road, like clusters of bright red fires ignited in the green leaves.

On the way back, Xu He's eyes stopped on those pomegranate flowers.

I can't help but sigh how quickly the years go by, and it's another month in the blink of an eye.

However, he still didn't think about how to persuade his parents to let him dress up as a woman for a year.

Damn, it's so annoying.

Xu He couldn't help feeling sad.

Xue Chengyu thought he was worried about tomorrow's test, thought about it, and comforted him: "You have made great progress these days."

After Xu He realized what he said, he was still mournful, and replied angrily, "Thank you."

Xue Chengyu suddenly said, "When the quiz is over, I'll take you to a place."

"Ok?"

Xu He turned his head and looked at him with his eyes, a little confused.

Xue Chengyu said lightly: "You will know when the time comes."

"okay."

Then I look forward to it.After all, what Xue Chengyu said is definitely not simple.

After arriving in the room, Xu He drew a time map for himself. He is now ten years old.

15 is old.

Five years.

He drew a circle for this five years.

Counting with his fingers, when he was 15 years old, it happened to be the second round of the imperial examination, and he was going to take the Jinshi examination and strive to be an official in Jinzhou.Jinzhou, it is located in the Huaihe River area, relatively prosperous, and does not seek any important official positions, as long as it is there.Tell his mother, the emperor's uncle

It is estimated that the problem is not too big.

So this is not a problem.

——The focus is on women's clothing!Ladies!

"I want to settle this matter before I become an official in Jinzhou, and go directly to Jinzhou in a skirt, so that I won't be too embarrassing!"

Xu He pressed the paper, bit the pen, and nodded solemnly under the lamp.

The small test of the National Academy separated their positions very far, and cheating was absolutely impossible.

Xu He wanted to be well-behaved. It happened that the questions selected by the doctor were from the Four Books. Xue Chengyu asked him a few questions a while ago, and he answered them with ease.

After burning out the three sticks of incense, he handed in the paper and left the examination room, very calm.

Gu Xihuan went out with the help of the table. His legs were weak. When he met Xu He's gaze, he sucked in his nose and rushed over crying, "Xu He, you will never see me again! I'm going to be killed My father was beaten to death! Brother, how did you do in the exam, let’s kneel down together! Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!”

Who kneels down on the board with you.

Xu He held his head with his hands, with a look of disgust on his face: "You don't come here, don't curse me, I did well in the exam."

Just leave.

Leaving the big fat baby crying alone.There is a feeling of being abandoned.

There will be a day off after the quiz.

The time was too short, and Xu He didn't want to go back, so he just stayed in the National Academy.

As a result, Xue Chengyu yelled at him early in the morning.

He only realized later that Xue Chengyu said that he would take him to a place.

When getting into the carriage, Xu He was so sleepy that he was not interested in asking about the destination.

The carriage was very warm and the fragrance was faint, which made him sleep more deeply.But the car body was bumpy, he slept very unsteadily, and was awakened many times in a daze.

Xue Chengyu stared at him for a long time, finally closed the book, and said in a cold voice, "You can lean on my shoulder."

Xu He was so shocked that he slammed into the side of the car. He was so painful that he was about to cry. Hearing what he said, he was very rude and nodded emphatically.

Accompanied by Xue Chengyu's light and shallow breathing, and the occasional sound of turning pages, Xu He just fell asleep at his destination.

The car body jerked suddenly and stopped.

Xue Chengyu nodded Xu He's head with his finger, "Here we are."

Xu He rubbed his eyes, "Are you there?"

Xue Chengyu was used to the fact that he never seemed to get enough sleep, so he got up, pulled down the curtain, got out of the sedan chair, and waited for him outside.

When Xu He got out of the sedan chair, the sun poured down on his head and face, and he was startled, he was actually sleepy until noon.

Xue Chengyu's clothes today are different from those in the academy.

She was still dressed in white, but with a thin layer of black border on the cuffs and skirt, embroidered with golden cloud patterns, elegant and noble, and the suet jade hairpin tied up with cloud-like black hair. In the spring, the whole temperament is different.

Xu He said: "I actually slept for so long."

Xue Chengyu, "You know that too."

This is a small courtyard far away from the capital. It is old. On the door plaque shaded by willow trees, there are two golden characters, Reaching for the Stars.The wooden door is wide open, and the warm air blows in.

As soon as you enter the garden, the first thing that catches your eyes is a pool, on which a huge water wheel creaks and rotates, leading the water up bit by bit.

Xu He had to look up to see the roof of the waterwheel. It looked like a perfect wooden handicraft. He was so shocked that he looked around. He quietly stood on the edge of the pool and touched the base of the waterwheel.The hard wood, the cool water, Xu He was in awe for a moment, he turned his head and asked, "What kind of place is this?"

Xue Chengyu frowned, didn't answer, just told him to go down.

Alright, Xu He shook the water off his hand, obediently stood beside him, and continued to ask, "Where is this?"

"Pick the stars."

Xu He, "...Of course I know, I want to ask about the origin of this place—hey!" After walking two steps, Xu He was attracted by another thing placed under a tree.It was a loom for weaving. The used up cicada cocoons were still piled up next to it, and the pedals were covered with dust.But the structure is somewhat different from the looms of this era, and Xu He can't tell what is different.

He wanted to sneak in to have a look, but was pulled back by Xue Chengyu. He said coldly, "Can you be quiet?"

Xu He was very savvy, and turned his head back: "Okay."

There is a row of bamboo houses in the yard, five or six rooms are all made of bamboo, and there is a unique fragrance when you are not close to it.

On the way to the bamboo house, Xue Chengyu explained to him, "Zhaixing Garden is the residence of Yin Xuzi, the mechanism master of Changle a hundred years ago, and was later taken by the Ministry of Industry as a base for manufacturing machinery."

Xu He was stunned, his eyes were wide and round, looking at Xue Chengyu.

Xue Chengyu expressionless, said coldly, "You should like it."

Xu He was in a complicated mood for a while.

Many of the things he does on weekdays are because he is too free and can't find anything to do.But in Xue Chengyu's opinion, he really likes wooden weapons.

A little touched, Xu He said sincerely, "Thank you."

Xue Chengyu's hand that pushed the door paused, and there seemed to be no answer.

Pushing open the door of the bamboo house, Xu He was shocked again.

Inside, the narrow wooden boards are spliced ​​together to form a long aisle, which is distributed on both sides, and there is a thin gap in the middle, where you can see the gurgling water under your feet, sparkling.There is no partition wall between this row of bamboo houses, and they are all designed like this.All kinds of new and old machinery are displayed on the vermilion wooden boards.

Like a fair.

The sound of water and wind, the fragrance of bamboo and wood.

Xu He walked to the end, and when he saw something similar to a seismograph, his eyes were straightened, and he rushed over, "Xue Chengyu! Look at this!"

Oh my god!Seismograph!One of the most outstanding inventions in ancient China!

Xue Chengyu looked outside the room, but followed.

Xu He felt that he had found a treasure. He walked and walked around this huge tripod-shaped thing, also in eight directions, but it was not the way of a dragon spitting out beads to warn, but eight chimney-like things stretched out. It is a bundled golden rod inserted into the ground.There is a ring piece inside the chimney with a very small gap with the gold rod.Xu He flicked his fingernails with only a small force, and the whole thing made a very clear and crisp sound in an instant.

Therefore, it is to remind by collision.

"??? Why is it so troublesome??"

The work of ancient seismographs mainly relies on the principle of inertia.

With the help of inertial force, hit the pedal to open the corridor and let the beads roll down.If it relies on sound reminders like this, and the energy is spent several times, its detection effect will be much lower.

Xu He wanted to take off its cover to see the structure inside, but just as soon as he stretched out his thief hand, he was stopped by someone.

An angry voice from an old man's house came from outside the bamboo house, like a ghost crying, "Let go! Don't touch my baby!"

Xu He had a guilty conscience and was caught straight. He lowered his head and touched his nose, feeling a little embarrassed.

A shadow rushed in like crazy, it was a thin old man who was furious.

The little old man stood in front of Xu He, with his arms outstretched to protect the seismograph, and he roared fiercely, "Stay away from me."

Xu He sneered, "No, haven't you touched it yet?"

Xue Chengyu frowned behind him and pulled him back a little.

The little old man was dressed in black, with messy hair and sawdust all over his hair and clothes. After hearing Xu He's words, he jumped in anger again, "You still want to touch it!!"

Xu He was startled by him.

Fuck, old man, you are so old, why are you jumping and dancing so festively.

Although there was a mistake first, Xu He was undeterred, and said eagerly: "Just let me touch it, I promise not to damage it, I'll just look inside."

"Go, go, go," the old man was as stubborn as a cow, and pushed Xu He away with his hand, "Where are you going to stay when it's cool over there!"

Xu He hugged a pillar and struggled, "Don't! Your thing is used to measure the direction of earthquakes, isn't it!"

He yelled out the words, trying to impress the old man, "I have a way to improve it! Do you want to listen!"

When the old man heard him say "earthquake measuring direction", he was still a little stunned. After all, there are not many people who can tell the usefulness of this thing.But when he heard what Xu He said behind him, his face darkened, and he pushed Xu He out the door, "Where did you come from!"

Xue Chengyu slowly followed Xu He out.

The old man obviously knew him, pointed at Xu He, and said angrily, "Watch out for your little scoundrel!" What kind of shit is that!

Xue Chengyu couldn't hold back, smiled, and said kindly, "Okay."

The grumpy old man slammed the door shut.

Xu He grieved, with a very painful expression on his face.

Xue Chengyu thought, sure enough, he should be taught a lesson, and said coldly, "Now you know how to restrain yourself?"

Xu He accepted the teaching with an open mind on the surface, "I got it, I got it."

Know a woolen thing!

He climbed in through the window tonight to find out about that thing

White!

When traveling today, Xue Chengyu was in the carriage, preparing food. After eating, Xu He returned to the spinning machine, picked up a stone, and drew its structure on the ground while looking at it.

Xue Chengyu went inside and talked with someone for a while.

When he came out, Xu He had finished studying the spinning wheel, stepped into the water barefoot, and sat under the water wheel.

The ten-year-old boy had extremely small wrists and ankles, and his black-haired clothes set off his fair skin. He turned his head and thought about something.When he is serious, he always likes to purse his red lips and wrinkle his nose slightly.

The sun is getting late, and the sky is glazed.

"Xu He."

Xue Chengyu yelled to bring Xu He back to his senses, and walked over on the water. The plank was full of bumps and holes. He had been pampered for a long time, and his feet hurt so badly, he hissed, and ran over jumping up and down, "Why? "

Xue Chengyu showed a rare smile and said, "Come with me."

Walked a few hundred more steps into the yard.

After bypassing a very high mountain, the temperature became very low, and the forest was surrounded by mountains and clouds, and a very tall attic stood in it.

The nine-story pagoda is covered with creepers, protruding from the windows and wrapping around the wall.The last rays of the setting sun cast a thin layer of red on the top of the pagoda.

In front of the pagoda, on the door plaque, there are three characters written in dragons and phoenixes, Zhaixing Pavilion.The dangerous building is a hundred feet high, and the stars can be picked by hand.

As soon as Xu He approached, he felt a sense of simplicity and coolness.

"Wow—" What kind of place is this?

A dark hole, with a few lamps burning, is quiet and cold, a little weird.Xu He turned his head eagerly, and after getting Xue Chengyu's approval, he strode forward.

After going around three times, a half-closed wooden door is ahead.

There is light coming out of the gap.

Pushing open the door, it was starlight covering his face.

During this trip up, the night was dark and the stars came out, the top of the pagoda was suspended, and the windows in all directions were opened, weaving the stars and moonlight into threads and ribbons.The strips are clear and transparent, floating in the air.

Xu He looked up and found that the tower was empty, except for the wooden stairs winding up along the edge of the tower, from bottom to top.

Suspended in the air was a gigantic ship with tattered sails, but the masts, buckets, and decks were all still there.The configuration is very complete, just looking at its appearance, you can imagine its magnificence riding the wind and waves in the sea.

—Fuck!

Xu He: "I, I, I, I, I'll go up and have a look!"

Xue Chengyu was at the bottom, nodding at him, "Well, be careful."

Mom!

Today is too exciting!

The wooden planks are old, and when they step on them, they will make a creaking sound. Xu He was a little afraid of falling, so he dared to go up little by little by supporting the body of the tower next to him.As he got closer, the ship became bigger and bigger in his field of vision, and the moonlight fell on him like water. He stretched out his hand, as if he could really pick up the stars.

When he really got close to the ship going out to sea, Xu He's face became serious.

It was this boat, standing here, that made him seem to see a corner of a prosperous dynasty.The vastness of the stars is like the history of thousands of years. In his mind, he flipped through the history books page by page, engraving the stalwart bodies of many people, leaving behind the relics that have benefited thousands of years.

He looked down, the stairs turned round and round, spiraling to the top, and when he looked down, what he saw was a long road, winding like a long river.

Sitting on the stairs, in a daze for a while, Xu He slowly walked down the pagoda supporting the pagoda.

When he was one meter away from the ground, his eyes suddenly lit up.

He looked up and found that the moon had just moved to the center of the tower, dazzling.

Xu He pointed happily, "Xue Chengyu, look quickly!"

Xue Chengyu looked at him first, then raised his head to look at the moon above.

He squinted slightly.

"That's too great."

Xu He was amazed, he pressed a corner of the pagoda, and didn't want to go the rest of the way, he moved his fingers and jumped down from the stairs.

It was very windy at night, and when he jumped off, his black hair fluttered and his clothes fluttered.

Xue Chengyu looked back just in time to see him jump down.

Such as wearing the stars and wearing the moon.

The stars and the moon all fell down.

On the way back, Xu He thought of the seismograph that made his heart ache.He really wanted to climb over the wall and go back to see what happened, but Xue Chengyu was beside him, so he didn't dare to move.

He could only return to the National Academy with hatred.

But he is obsessed with one thing and will not give up no matter what.

Xu He stayed up all night again, flipping through the materials of Zhang Heng's making of the seismograph, adding the interpretation of later generations, revising and revising, and drawing a simple diagram in two days.

In the meantime, his quiz results came out, No. 20 and three, which scared all the students.

They were discussing whether Xue Chengyu had helped him secretly.

Xu He rolled his seismograph map and rolled his eyes

.

Gu Xihuan took back the jaw that fell to the ground. He lived up to expectations and was the last one. He was disheartened. The good brother who lived and died secretly became a top student behind his back. The two injuries overlapped. I can't cry anymore.

Looking at Xu He pitifully, he hesitated to speak, acting like a little daughter-in-law.

His good grades were reported to the queen mother, Xu He was thinking about how to send the picture to the old man, when Jian Cheng came over and told him that the queen mother wanted to see him.

"???"

what to do.

Before Xu Hetu was put back, he arrived at the Jingxin Hall in a daze.The Empress Dowager Xuande was in a very good mood. As soon as he entered the palace, she didn't even need to greet her. She called him to her side and asked kindly, "I heard that you got 23 in the exam."

Xu He was absent-minded, "Well, yes."

The Empress Dowager Xuande laughed from ear to ear, "I just said, it's definitely right to arrange you next to that child of the Xue family!"

"..." What the hell!Why does everyone think his grades are related to Xue Chengyu.

But Xue Chengyu is really a nice person, and he is not disgusted.

Empress Dowager Xuande said: "The kid from the Xue family has been smart since he was a child, and has a rather cold personality and is difficult to get close to. When you pester him to ask questions, you don't have to be ashamed to show your face."

Xu He scratched his head, "Huh? Xue Chengyu, he's quite a nice person."

The Empress Dowager Xuande looked at him seriously, only reporting good news but not bad news.He became more and more sure that Xu He had really grown up, and said with relief, "Your father will be very happy to see you like this when he comes back."

Xu He thought of this and asked, "When will my father come back?"

The Empress Dowager Xuande said: "It's the eighth day of April, not long ago. This time we won a big victory, and the Holy One is overjoyed. He hosted a banquet in the palace and invited all civil and military officials. You will probably have a holiday then. It's fun."

Xu He: "Okay."

At this time, Su Yu came in from behind the screen, and after paying her respects, she said softly, "Empress Dowager, the Empress is here, and she is waiting outside the Jingxin Hall."

When the Empress Dowager Xuande heard the words, she smiled and said, "Let her come in."

Xu He was sitting on the soft couch next to the Empress Dowager, watching Empress Cheng wearing a luxurious gold dress, stepping gracefully, bypassing the screen, and said softly, "My daughter-in-law has seen the empress mother."

Empress Dowager Xuande waved her hand and told her to stand up.Empress Cheng also saw Xu He, forced a smile, and said, "Xiaohe is here too", and Xu He obediently returned her.

His gaze has been on her face... Empress Cheng, is this, sick?

Her complexion was not very good, and the heavy makeup could not conceal her fatigue.

After she sat down, the queen mother said, "Are you feeling better today?"

Empress Cheng frowned, shook her head, feeling a little tired, "It's not that bad, I still feel sleepy recently, I don't know why."

The eyes of the Empress Dowager Xuande turned cold, and then disappeared in a flash. She brought a plate to Xu He, and said with a smile, "It's really nothing if I ask you to come here. There are still some sweet-scented osmanthus cakes you love here. Take them out and eat them. Rest early .”

Xu He was very tactful. It must be that some palace topics were not convenient for him to listen to. He happened to be too tired, so he obediently took the plate and left.

How troublesome it is to get a plate, Xu He ate as he walked, and in the end there were only three left, so he just took it.

He came out of the meditation hall, turned a corner, and saw a eunuch ordering another person to do something.

Biting the sweet cake, Xu He just glanced at it, and when the boy with his head bowed obediently responded, Xu He bit half of it and was stunned.

This tone, this voice.

Hiss, isn't that poor little girl who has been bullied all the time?

He actually got an errand in the meditation hall, not bad.

After the eunuch finished his explanation, he shook his whisk and left.

Xu He swallowed the half-bitten pastry, and stood not far away on the white marble steps, looking at Yu Mu with his eyes.

Yu Mu turned around and suddenly saw him.

Surprised and stunned, the whole person was stunned, and the feelings of fear, inferiority, and sadness came one after another, and they were complicated until now.He stared blankly at Xu He's exquisite face under the moonlight, and the only thing he thought about was not to let him see his old clothes that couldn't be worn anymore.

So he stood in the darkness, motionless like a statue.

Xu He didn't know how to greet him either, and in all fairness, he didn't know Yu Mu well, so he couldn't put on a very enthusiastic look.

Standing on the notice steps, he frowned and thought for a while.

And his slight movement almost made the boy's hand holding the saucer tremble.Terrified, but he didn't know how to speak, was he angry?

Xu He didn't understand what he was doing in the dark, thought he was too blind to see him?Tsk, naive.

He stayed up all night drawing pictures yesterday, but at this time today, he is a little spirited, he doesn't want to laugh or talk.

It happened that I still had two pastries in my hand, so I didn't need to say hello, and said directly, "Do you want to eat osmanthus cake?"

The sound was very soft, but when it fell into Yu Mu's ears, it was like the ringing of a bell. In exchange for his seven souls and six souls returning to their positions, his viscera stopped shaking.

This night, the moonlight is blurred.

Xu He jumped down from the steps, and he had to go back this way anyway.

Suppressing a yawn, he walked into the dark, and couldn't find a place to put it, so he simply put the pastry on the saucer.

It should be clean.

"Give it to you, I can't take it anymore."

Yu Mu opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but his throat wanted to be sealed, eyes open, in the darkness.The first reaction was a sore nose.

The wind rolls into the mouth, bringing the fragrance of osmanthus cake.

Xu He was very sleepy, "You're doing well in the Meditation Hall, big fat boy, oh no, Gu Xihuan failed the exam this time, so I can't protect myself, so I won't come to bully you. Work hard."

After chatting blindly for a while, Xu He rubbed his cheeks to wake himself up, and walked back on the night breeze.Bed full of mind.

It seemed normal to him that Yu Mu didn't speak, it was like a mouse seeing a cat when this brat saw him.I'm just a little puzzled, at least my savior, why are you so afraid of him.

He didn't take two steps, when he was startled suddenly, a voice came from behind him.

The young man seemed to muster up his courage and use all his strength, and shouted behind him, "Wait!"

He was too nervous and his voice trembled, making Xu He think he was about to cry.

"Ok?"

Xu He turned around.

That thin, sallow and skinny boy was just holding a plate, with red eyes, bloodshot eyes with faint purple light, beautiful and stunning.He just looked at him so stubbornly.

It is estimated that the courage to shout out was exhausted, and I was too scared to speak.

So scared.

Xu He was amused by him, and he was in a very happy mood.

It's okay to be speechless.

"Come and let me teach you."

Yu Mu was taken aback.

A cloud of different shades covered the moon, and the palace cast a long shadow.

Xu He drew his voice: "Thank you."

In an instant, Yu Mu's voice seemed to have found its direction and broke through the seal. It was very low, but it did exist: "Thank you...you." It was so low that he thought Xu He would not be able to hear it.

But Xu He heard it, and he rolled his eyes with a smile.This little kid is too much fun.

The clouds parted again.

The moonlight is beautiful.

Yu Mu bowed his head and said softly over and over again, "Thank you, thank you..."

Even the person he wants to thank has disappeared at the end of the sky.

His father's triumph is a great prosperity in Changle.

Before it arrived, the palace had already been set up in the past few days.

During the few days of doing nothing, Xu He sent this picture to the old man through Xue Chengyu.

And he didn't wait for a few days, the old man came into the palace to look for him.

He blocked the door, panting, "Xiaowa, did you draw that picture yourself?!" His eyes widened, as if the sky had fallen.

Xu He didn't have the nerve to admit it, but said, "...No, I got it from a beggar by chance."

The old man rushed forward, grasped his hand, his eyes lit up, "Who! Who is that beggar! Take me to find him!"

Give up, you will never find him in your life.

Xu He scratched his head, "Huh? I don't know where he went. I just saw that your thing looks like this, so I was so interested that day."

He knew why and asked, "What's the matter, is it very powerful?"

praise me! ! !

The old man suddenly laughed three times, the voice was so loud that it didn't seem like he could make it at this age, he slapped Xu He's shoulder fiercely: "Amazing! Awesome! It's not just amazing! Xu He is right! Xu Zheng is really A good son was born!"

"No, no." It's just so trivial.

Xu He pretended to smile and shook his head.

Heh, he was still a little villain that day, but now he is a little friend?

The old man was excited enough, lowered his head, and suddenly took a deep look at him.

Xu He was taken aback.

The wisdom behind the old madness is like electricity.That glance made Xu He think he had seen through everything.

There are pictures in hand, but the real seismograph has not been made yet, so the old man came here to ask Xu He for news.After asking, he was overjoyed again, and ran back like crazy.

This made Xu He very angry: "You only praised three amazing things?!! Damn! I stayed up for two days!!"

But who is that old man? He's crazy.

He still didn't get an answer to this question until the day his father came back.

Because I always forget to ask.

The general of Zhen Guo returned to Beijing, and the emperor was overjoyed. He hosted a banquet in the Imperial Garden and invited all the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty.As soon as the lights came on, one after another fragrant chariots entered from outside the palace gate.

Xu He and a group of students from the National Academy sat at two tables in a pavilion built on top of a tall rockery in the Imperial Garden.

Next to Xu He was Xue Chengyu, but he was not there now, and went down to see Prime Minister Xue.

Xu He peeled peanuts for himself to eat. To be honest, he is also looking forward to it now.After all, it's been a long time since I saw his father, and I still miss him very much.

While everyone was talking, Xu He also got a piece of news that Su Shuangxu was still released from prison with a reduced punishment, and he was sent to the remote north, where he could only return to Beijing after five years.The reason was that Su Peiyu knelt in front of the Meditation Hall and passed out. The emperor was very distressed, and Su Shangshu's three visits to the prime minister's mansion also made Prime Minister Xue soften his attitude.This matter was settled so logically.

Xu He thought of Zhaomin's words.

Sure enough...Su Peiyu didn't want to impress the queen mother at all, her goal was still the emperor from the beginning to the end.

When scholars and students gather together, they will always play some elegant games. Last time they poured a glass of music, this time they played the drinking order again.

Xu He's spring feast last time had already been played into a meme by them, and when the number on the dice matched him, they all started booing, "Hey, are you coming to see you on the first day today?"

"..." See your sister.
