"Five miles away from Andu City, there is Sanhe Mountain. There is Sanhe Academy on the mountain. It is one of the most famous academies in Andu. This year coincides with the 25th anniversary of the establishment of Sanhe Academy. The imperial secretary sent The imperial envoys came to Sanhe Academy to present books to express their congratulations." Liu Changshi said, "The imperial envoys in the imperial scribes department are all close ministers of the saints. They must be courteous and full of courtesy and protect them with all their strength. Originally, they were supposed to be the governor of Jia. I went there in person with Liu, but now that the two of us are in this situation, alas, we really have more than enough ambition but not enough energy."
Hua Yitang suddenly understood and let out a long "oh".
Lin Sui'an understood: To put it bluntly, the emperor sent an inspection team to Sanhe Academy to inspect the work in the name of delivering books. If the reception is not in place, the "near ministers" of the inspection team are not vegetarians. When they return, Liao Dongdu snitched in the emperor's ears, which was enough for Andu and other officials, big and small, to drink a pot.
In other words, the focus of this job is to eat, play, drink, chat, flatter and flatter. Hey, I have to say that Hua Yitang is indeed the best candidate.
When Jin Ruo heard this, he waved his hands repeatedly, "Let me make it clear first, I will not do this bad job. I will also take Eta and the others to eat all the delicacies of Andu!"
Eta and the Four Saints nodded repeatedly, "Follow, Brother Jin, eat, eat, eat, eat!"
Hua Yitang's expression was also a bit awkward, "Hua is really a little uneasy to take on such a big responsibility when he first arrives. Zheng Canjun has been in Andu for many years, and he must know more about the details. How about letting Zheng Canjun go?"
Liu Changshi sighed and said, "Zheng Canjun is timid by nature and not good at words. He can just work hard. If he is exposed to the public, it will be more uncomfortable than killing him. Hua Canjun comes from a wealthy family and is a new noble in the court. His personality He is refreshing and well-spoken. He is the most suitable candidate, so don’t refuse.”
Hua Yitang laughed twice, "To be honest, Hua has not liked reading since he was a child, and he is more lively. All the six teachers who taught me were so angry that they vomited blood. Because of this, I was almost beaten by my brother's cane. My butt was badly whipped, but now the root of the disease is at its root. I get frightened when I hear the word academy, and I want to pull my master’s beard when I see it.”
Liu Changshi's eyes twitched uncontrollably.
Jin Ruo slapped the table and laughed, and Lin Sui'an made a "pop" sound.
Hua Yitang was quite proud, "Hua's title as the No. 1 Dandy in Yangdu is absolutely genuine. He doesn't have any water in his words. He doesn't speak lightly or seriously. If he makes someone vomit blood again, wouldn't it be a big deal? How about that? Liu Changshi, would you like to think about it again?"
Liu Changshi pinched his forehead. He finally understood. This Hua family Silang was arrogant and arrogant. He obviously didn't want to pretend to be a grandson. His eyes turned to Lin Sui'an. He suddenly had an idea and signaled to Hua Yitang. Come closer, lower your voice and say:
"What Hua Canjun doesn't know is that Sanhe Academy has a pleasant scenery and is known as the 'Three Peaks and Seven Wonders'. One of the most beautiful scenery is called Shiqiao Moon Night. It is a naturally formed stone bridge. It is said that when the moon reaches the top of the sky, , lovers board the bridge at the same time, and in the moonlight they can see the tightly connected red thread of Yue Lao on their wrists."
Hua Yitang's eyes lit up, "Is it really so magical?"
Liu Changshi: "Everyone in Andu City knows that if Hua joins the army, you can ask. The Moonlight Night at Shiqiao is only opened to the outside world every year on Chinese Valentine's Day. Countless men and women go to Shiqiao to make love, and they can all get married and grow old together. It’s efficacious!”
Hua Yitang's eyes widened, and he felt anxious in his heart.
Zi Buyu has strange powers and chaos. You have to believe it or not believe it completely, but no matter how you say it, it is still an opportunity!
Liu Changshi knew something was going on as soon as he saw Hua Yitang's expression. He cleared his throat and raised his voice, "Sanhe Mountain, where Sanhe Academy is located, has overlapping peaks, beautiful mountains and thousands of trees. It is a rare geomantic treasure. Seven The wonders here are particularly famous, saying: the top stargazing, the sunset on the sea of clouds, the green peaks with mist and rain, the moonlit night on the stone bridge, the clear snow on the three peaks, the apricot forest in the Rouluan Mountains, and the clear springs of white rocks. There is a poem that goes: If Sanhe fails to observe the seven wonders, he will be a native of Andu in the Tang Dynasty. .”
This is a poem, a song, and a scene. It made Lin Sui'an's heart move. Since she came to Andu, she has been sitting in the flower house picking her feet by the fire every day, and no one has come to pick a fight or anything. The bones are rusty.
"How about -" Lin Sui'an glanced at Da Yitang, "I will go with you?"
Hua Yitang smiled brightly: "Okay."
Liu Changshi took a long breath and said, "Very good, very good. Then Hua Canjun and Madam Lin should set off quickly. If the estimate is good, the book-protecting team of the Royal Book Envoy will arrive at Sanhe Academy in the afternoon. Let's set off now, just in time. .”
Lin Sui'an was startled: "So urgent?"
"There's no rush, there's still time." Hua Yitang jumped up and said, "Muxia, change your clothes, pack your things, and hit the road!"
"Yes, Shiro!"
Lin Sui'an looked at Hua Yitang's fiery back and muttered in his heart: This guy looked like he had nothing to do with his waist and legs just now, why is he so active all of a sudden? Could he be acting like a monster again?
Liu Changshi was extremely pleased, "Hua joining the army is indeed a young man, I'm so envious."
At the same time, Hua Yitang and Mu Xia, who were running in the corridor, were making plans quickly.
Mu Xia: "Silang, do you think this Shiqiao Moonlight is reliable?"
Hua Yitang: "It doesn't matter if he is reliable or not, if you have dates or not, shoot two shots first, just in case you get caught!"
"Shiro has indeed thought deeply about it. Do you want to bring the love poem you framed last time?"
"Bring it with you! It's rare that Xiao Jin won't cause trouble this time, so you must seize the opportunity!"
"Where's Linwan Jingshayi?"
"...Forget it..."
"What kind of incense should I prepare?"
"Beauty bids farewell to tears, but still talks about lovesickness in dreams. The romantic love in the boudoir is pitiful every night, and the joy of spring in the morning and evening is taken with me!"
"...Shiro, are you a little fierce?"
"Lin Sui'an is the master of Qianjing, so he can't do it without giving strong medicine!"
"Got the order!"
The two of them operated as fiercely as tigers, and poured out five large packages of clothes, incense, and snacks. Hua Yitang happily got into the carriage with her fragrant robe. When she looked up, Fang Ke was sitting upright like a Buddha. .
Hua Yitang: "..."
Fang Ke: "..."
Hua Yitang: "Doctor Fang, what are you doing here?!"
Fang Ke raised his eyebrows, "Follow you, there will be cases, and if there are cases, there will be corpses dug up."
"How can there be corpses every time?!"
"Heh, if you say so, maybe there is."
"..."
As soon as the car curtain was lifted, Lin Sui'an came in, a little surprised, "Doctor Fang is going too."
Hua Yitang: "He won't go."
Fang Ke: "I'll go."
"..."
Lin Sui'an looked around the two of them and smiled, "There are many people and it's lively. It's good."
Fang was satisfied.
Hua Yitang puffed out his cheeks, feeling uncomfortable.
Lin Sui'an saw it funny. He took out Muxia's special beef jerky from his pocket, picked a big piece and handed it to Hua Yitang. He opened the car window and looked at the scenery outside, his eyes bright and full of anticipation.
Hua Yitang chewed the beef jerky angrily, stared at Lin Sui'an, looked at it, sighed, and smiled: That's all, as long as she is happy.
Fang Ke silently closed his eyelids: Tsk, I couldn't see.
There is a large population in Andu City, and the ground surface is relatively hot. The snow has melted, and the snow in the suburbs is still there. The further north you go, the more snow there is and the colder it becomes. Fortunately, there is not much snow on the official road, so driving will not be affected. However, Within an hour, the outline of Sanhe Mountain was visible.
Sanhe Mountain is the remnant of the Taihang Mountains. To the south is Andu City, which is a vast plain. To the north are mountains. If seen from the air, they look like a blue ocean with white waves. The blue ones are ten thousand-year-old pine trees and the white ones are the tops of the mountains. snow.
Sanhe Academy is built on the mountain, with its house hidden in the forest. It is quiet and secretive. The mountain is gentle and easy to climb. There are mountain roads that can be used by horse-drawn carriages, and the transportation is relatively convenient.
There is a Sanhe Pavilion at the foot of the mountain. It is an octagonal pavilion. It is the coolest in summer. In winter, it is beautiful to light a charcoal basin, hang a windshield around it, cook tea, play chess, and enjoy the view of Sanfeng Mountain.
When Hua's carriage arrived at Sanhe Pavilion, there were already people in the pavilion. When they saw the Hua clan emblem and the golden bell, they hurriedly came out and shouted, "I've seen Hua join the army!".
There are three people coming. The first one is over thirty years old. He has a square face, thick eyebrows and big eyes. He is very strong. Although he is wearing a scholar's robe, his temperament is more like a warrior. There are two people behind him. The one on the left is wearing Tsing Yi, with fine features, about About twenty years old, the one on the right is an old man with all white sideburns. He is energetic and has a wide robe and long sleeves. Even when he is bowing, his back is straight.
Hua Yitang had obviously done enough homework, calling the square-faced man "He Shanchang", the man in Tsing Yi "Qi Jian Yuan", and the old man "White Palm Book".
Mu Xia got first-hand background information from Jin Ruo: "He Shanchang He Sishan, also the dean of Sanhe Academy, is thirty-eight years old and unmarried. He is a well-known scholar in Andu and is mainly responsible for the academic affairs of the academy. Teaching. The name of the Qi Supervisor is Qi Mu. He is responsible for the specific affairs management of the college, accounting, checking the conduct of students, etc. His status is second only to the mountain chief. He is twenty-eight years old and unmarried. The name of the white palm is Bai Wen, and he is responsible for the management of the book. Lou, sixty-three years old, unmarried. These three people are the top management of Sanhe Academy."
Lin Sui'an looked sideways: You are planning to go on a blind date, why are you specifically asking about other people's marital status?
Hua Yitang had already been chatting enthusiastically with three people, and it was nothing more than another three-piece suit of "almost": "Long admired for a long time", "well-deserved reputation", "lucky for three lives", and then the target turned to Lin Sui'an and Fang Ke, and was about to "Looking up for a long time -" He Sishan was stuck.
He Sishan's eyes were fixed on Lin Sui'an, his eyes were round and round, his face flushed first and then suddenly turned pale, his mouth moved a few times, and his voice seemed to be squeezed out from the cracks of the stone, "It turns out it's Jing. Mrs. Lin from the door, He Sishan is so polite."
Lin Sui'an felt something was wrong. Since she came to Andu, she had already met two people who lost control of their expressions when they first met her. One was Andu governor Shi Jiamu, and the other was He Sishan. Both of them had roots in Andu. Ten years ago, and this was Lin Sui'an's first time in Andu, so it was impossible for them to have met "Lin Sui'an", so they must have known an old friend who looked very much like "Lin Sui'an".
Hey, hey, hey, Yun Zhongyue's crow's mouth isn't right, is it? What connection does she really have with the God of War Empress?
Lin Sui'an was thinking wildly, while He Sishan had already composed his expression and invited everyone to sit down at Sanhe Pavilion to enjoy tea. After that, his eyes never stayed on Lin Sui'an, as if the gaffe just for a moment did not exist at all.
Instead, Qi Mu, the prison guard, looked at Lin Sui'an several times.
Qi Mu was good-looking, a white-faced scholar, gentle and elegant. When he looked over, Lin Sui'an was not polite and naturally looked back. Qi Mu was startled, pursed his lips and smiled, avoiding his gaze.
Hua Yitang came over with "Hmm, cough, cough, cough". He wanted to shake the fan, but suddenly remembered that the weather was too cold, so he didn't bring the fan because it was not suitable for the season. He took out the hand warmer from his sleeve and stuffed it into Lin Sui'an's hand, with a gentle tone. , "It's cold, don't freeze."
Lin Sui'an had goosebumps all over his body: What are you doing? I'm not cold!
Hua Yitang smiled like a flower: There is a kind of coldness, that is, Hua thinks you are cold.
Fang couldn't stand it any longer, so he grabbed the hand warmer and hugged it, "I'm cold."
Naturally, the three people on the opposite side could clearly see the quarrel between Hua Yitang, Lin Sui'an and Fang Ke's eyes, and couldn't help showing meaningful expressions.
Lin Sui'an felt that they might have misunderstood something.
Hua Yitang: "Speaking of this Yu Shusi, it's quite new. Hua has never heard of it before. I wonder where he comes from?"
He Shanchang: "The Imperial Book Division is affiliated to the Imperial College. It was established by the saint personally six months ago. It aims to donate books to academies and private schools run by the Tang Dynasty and supervise the studies of private students. The donated books are all carefully selected by the Imperial Secretary, and some are even The ancient books that have been collected by the Imperial College for decades are treasures worth tens of thousands of dollars to us at Shanye Academy."
"Does Chief He Shan know who the imperial emissary is here to present the book?" Hua Yitang asked curiously.
"It is rumored that the scribes are all close ministers of the saints, and they usually have other important positions. The scribes mostly hold concurrent posts." He Shanchang shook his head, "I and other farmers in the village naturally cannot guess the identity of the visitor."
Hua Yitang scratched his head and looked in his eyes: It would be bad if someone is difficult to deal with.
Lin Sui'an: Don't worry, there is no one more difficult to deal with than you in the entire Tang Dynasty.
Fang Ke: Haha.
From the beginning to the end, Bai Wen, the president of the academy, said nothing and only focused on making tea soup. What he made was not the flower tea that was popular in the Tang Dynasty, but the ancient smoked tea. Green bubbles bubbled in the tea cauldron. The smell of Sichuan peppercorns, sour vinegar and garlic floated in the air. Fang was very satisfied and drank three large cups. Hua Yitang only touched his lips. Lin Sui'an complained in his heart and secretly prayed that the team of Yushu Tuan would come sooner. arrive.
Fortunately, after waiting for less than half an hour, the sound of horse hooves was heard on the official road. Everyone was overjoyed and got up and came out of the pavilion to greet them. They saw a group of carriages and horses approaching slowly, headed by two double carriages with elegant carriages. , the black horse is strong, followed by four trucks, with neat red-painted wooden boxes piled on the truck. The wooden boxes are covered with three layers, one layer of waterproof felt, one layer of cotton cloth, and one layer of yellow brocade. The ruts are very deep, obviously they are packed heavy items.
Twenty soldiers escorting the carriage, wearing black robes and silver armor on one shoulder, Lin Sui'an had seen before. When the saint went out incognito under the pseudonym Jiang Qiniang, the four generals around him were dressed like this. Presumably these guards were also personally selected by the saint.
Hua Yitang and He Sishan led the crowd to come forward to see the ceremony and shouted: "Welcome to the imperial envoy."
The motorcade stopped steadily, the door of the first carriage opened, and a man slowly stepped out, wearing a large cloak, with skin as white as jade and black hair as ink, like a white plum in the snow.
Lin Sui'an and Hua Yitang's eyes widened at the same time: "Bai Ruyi?!"
"Ah, I guessed it right, it is indeed Shiro."
The people in the second carriage arrived gracefully through the snow. Their snow-white fox coats were not even hairy, and they were the same style as Hua Yitang. Their hair was in a bun like clouds, their eyebrows were curved, and their eyes were full of spring.
It turned out to be Hua Yitang's second sister, Hua Yifeng.
Lin Sui'an took a quick look and was dazzled: Good guy, look at this posture, maybe Bai Ruyi really wants to be your second brother-in-law.
small theater
Hua Yitang: Suddenly I felt a little unhappy! :,,
