Song Zhan was completely confused, feeling that this world was really fantasy.
Seeing that he was still stunned, Li Lin said, "What are you doing standing still? Didn't you say you brought good wine to drink with me? Where is the wine?"
"Oh, here it is." Song Zhan came back to his senses, put the wine in his hand on the table nearby, and then walked over.
Zhao Mingjing sat down inside the coffee table and gave him a seat.
When Song Zhan sat down, he still felt a little unreal. He looked at Li Lin and saw that he was holding the child, his expression still calm. Zhao Mingjing stretched out his hand to tease the child, making the child laugh, and waited for him to reach out. When I went to hold him, the child refused again.
Li Lindao: "He was tired from playing yesterday, so he asked his grandfather to hold him for a while, but no one else would. He cried when he was held."
Zhao Mingjing smiled: "It's really like becoming a spirit, so smart."
When Zhao Mingjing first came to Li Lin, he was still a taciturn young man. He kept silent and did things silently. Later, he studied with Li Fu, and Li Lin often let his classmates play with him. Gradually, he became a normal person. appearance.
Later, Li Fu left, and he continued to study in the academy. Although he did not have a good relationship with his classmates in the academy, he could still get along well with him. He was just a young man who didn't like to talk much, and was a little less gloomy.
Then I went to the Western Wei Dynasty and learned a lot from Li Fu, and I became somewhat emperor-minded. Later I went out to practice for a year, and I may have encountered a lot of things. My whole person became gentle and reserved again, and I could occasionally drive. A few jokes.
But in just a few years, he has indeed changed a lot.
Song Zhan was in a trance when he saw how they seemed to have a good relationship.
Zhao Mingjing asked with a smile: "When Mr. Song saw me, why did he feel like he had seen a ghost?"
"How could it be?" Song Zhan laughed twice, "I was just a little surprised for a moment, and the Ninth Prince laughed."
Zhao Mingjing added: "Since Mr. Song is here, why not play a game with me? Sir is busy taking care of Ah Shi. He is smart now and always wants to reach out and grab it."
Song Zhan looked at Li Lin, saw him nodding, and then responded. Then he continued to play a game of chess with Zhao Mingjing. As he continued to play, he also discovered that Zhao Mingjing's approach was indeed a bit like that of Li Lin, but it was a little different.
Li Lin pays attention to layout when playing chess, and will kill you without leaving any trace of you inadvertently, trapping you forever, but Zhao Mingjing also likes to take the initiative to stabilize the rear, and takes a route of advancing, attacking, retreating and defending.
After one round, he lost.
Song Zhan was in a daze again.
Li Lin, forget it if he can't win, but he can't even win against his apprentice?
Is this still a human being?
Zhao Mingjing smiled and said: "Sir Song, please accept."
Song Zhan said: "The Ninth Prince's chess skills are so superb that Qing Zhan feels inferior to him."
After playing this game, Zhao Mingjing stood up and said goodbye. He was going back to the palace, lest it be too late and the palace would be locked and he would not be able to enter, so he would not drink with them.
After he left, Song Zhan came back to his senses and stretched out his hand to tug Li Lin's sleeve: "Why did you accept the Ninth Prince as your disciple? When did this happen?"
Seeing that the child was finally a little sleepy, Li Lin patted his back and said, "It happened three years ago."
"But why did you accept him as your disciple? He is the Ninth Prince!"
Li Lin didn't mind telling him the truth. After all, he was a good friend, so he said: "It's the intention of His Majesty and King Zhao to let me teach him for a while. It's good for you to know this. Even your wife, also Say no more."
"What do your Majesty and King Zhao mean?!" Song Zhan was really shocked. If it was what His Majesty and King Zhao meant, it would be very intriguing.
Li Lin said: "It's probably because the first few didn't take care of him well. Let's see if this one can take care of himself. I think he's pretty good, but he's still young. With a few more years of experience, he'll probably be able to stand up."
"That's not right. Why would His Majesty and Prince Zhao send people to you?" Song Zhan came back to his senses and immediately grasped what he was doubting about.
The first few failed. It was normal for the emperor and King Zhao to want to train the Ninth Prince, but it was a bit strange to leave it to Li Linjiao.
Li Lin's expression remained unchanged, and he said, "Maybe he saw that I am a good teacher of students."
Song Zhan glanced at him, obviously not believing it.
but......
"Okay, Li Jingyuan, you Li Jingyuan, you said you don't like the official career, you just want to be free and easy, but you, a silent person, actually caused such a big thing. In the future, you will really be the Ninth Prince... ...How can I miss out on your benefits?"
"If you become an imperial master in one leap, you will ascend to heaven in one fell swoop."
"I see that he treats you quite well. He is respectful and close to you. Even if it is your cub, I also like him quite a bit."
"You are much more capable than me. I have wasted so many years of trembling and worrying, and I just got the position of the censor of Zuoqiandu. Day by day, there is no end to trivial things."
"The Imperial Censor Zuo Qian of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, fourth rank, Mr. Song, don't let it be said that he is not doing very well."
Song Zhan is two years older than Li Lin, and is only twenty-seven this year. It has only been five years since he became an official as the number one scholar, from the seventh-rank editor of Hanlin Academy to the current fourth-rank imperial censor Zuo Qiandu. , ordinary people can't climb so fast.
Moreover, he is still young, and there is also Lord Taishan, the Minister of the Ministry of War. No matter how high he is, there is always one of the six ministers who can take a seat. As long as he does not commit suicide, with his ability, the future will be bright.
Song Zhan smiled, and he was indeed quite satisfied with his current position: "Not bad, it's really not bad. Okay, let's not talk about this anymore, let's play another game."
Li Lin nodded: "Please keep your voice down, this kid is going to sleep."
Song Zhan was a little envious: "It's lucky that you can take him with you every day. I work all day long and it's hard for me to hold him. When I left during the day, he wasn't awake yet, that is, when I came back, You can give him a hug, but if you happen to find him asleep, you won’t see him again for a whole day.”
Sometimes plans always fail to keep up with changes. When Shi wrote back last year to get married, Song Zhan also said that he would go back during the Chinese New Year and visit A Shi then. However, at the end of the year, his wife Qu Lingzhu was pregnant again. , and was delayed again.
Now was the first time he saw Ah Shi, a little boy who was more than four months old. He didn't look like a chubby little boy raised by other people. He had some meat, but was not fat. He was white and tender, and he looked very special. Lovely spirit.
At this moment, she yawned a little, pursed her lips, and lay peacefully in her father's arms. She looked really cute and adorable, making people want to secretly take her home and hide her.
"Hey, if my wife gives birth to a girl this time, we will be our sons and daughters. What do you think?"
