Su Xingze also wanted to know more about Nanchu. Even if Su Rong didn't let him go, he didn't want to be completely ignorant. Although Xie Yuan collected many files on Nan Chu in his study, he found that there were no complete files that Zhou Gu asked for from the prince.
So, he also started reading with Zhou Gu.
For a moment, the two of them stopped talking, and there was only the sound of turning books in the room.
Unknowingly, it was noon, and Su Xingze naturally stayed in Zhou Gu's yard for lunch. After lunch, Su Xingze planned to stay for another half day. He had not finished reading a small part of the file about the Nangong family. Naturally, he could not take this thing back to read, lest Su Rong would find out. He had just picked up the file and asked for it. Continuing to read, a personal guard reported to Zhou Gu, saying, "After the Second Young Master Ye came out of the palace, he was intercepted by the eldest prince Yan Li in a restaurant on the street. They didn't stay for long before they came out one after another. The Second Young Master Ye returned to Chengguo. At the Duke's Mansion, after having lunch with Duke Cheng Guo, I went to Shen's Mansion."
Zhou Gu raised his eyes and looked at the bodyguard, "Why did Yan Li return to the snow at midnight?"
The personal guard shook his head, "The eldest prince's bodyguard and the second young master Ye's secret guard guarded the restaurant, and my subordinates were unable to find out. However, when the second young master Ye left the restaurant, he was calm and calm, while the eldest prince had no expression on his face when he left the restaurant. .”
Zhou Gu thoughtfully waved his hand to the bodyguard, who retreated.
Su Xingze was also thinking about it. These days, he was living in the capital. Although he was not involved in the affairs of the court, Shen Xian would talk to him about the morning affairs every day when he returned home. Naturally, the purpose was to get him to go to court as soon as possible. Get to know the Qing Dynasty Hall, and at the same time guide and teach him so that he can better establish himself in the Qing Dynasty in the future. Although Xie Yuan was a great talent, he had been away from the capital for a long time, and his teachings to Su Xingze about court affairs were relatively weak. Shen Xian loved and cherished talents, and because of Xie Yuan's relationship, he valued Su Xingze, so he naturally took on the responsibility. This matter. Judging from many recent events in the early dynasty, it seems that the eldest prince Yan Li and the second prince Yan Lin have secretly formed an alliance and planned to work together to deal with the prince, instead of working independently in the past.
The pressure on the prince suddenly increased sharply. However, as Su Rong disrupted the situation in Beijing and the court, strangely, the pressure from the emperor, which had been pressing on the prince for many years, became less. Especially in the past few days, the situation in the morning court was obvious. Quietly changing, His Majesty's control over the Crown Prince is gradually loosened, and he no longer deliberately finds fault with the officials of the East Palace faction. It is obvious that His Majesty is more kind to the Crown Prince than before.
As a result, the First Prince's faction and the Second Prince's faction suddenly became nervous, especially the First Prince, who was beaten by His Majesty not long ago.
The eldest prince has been obviously impetuous in recent days.
Su Xingze knew something, and Zhou Gu knew it even more clearly. The Protector's Office had a keen sense of controlling the situation over the years. His Majesty's silent changes were a good thing for the East Palace and for the Protector's Office. It's also a good thing.
He turned to look at Su Xingze and said, "Brother Su, please go back home. Come back and read these files with me tomorrow."
Naturally, Su Xingze couldn't stay any longer. He only met Ye Guixue that day at Chengguo Duke's Mansion, but because there were so many people surrounding Ye Guixue, he didn't even say a few words. Although countless people said a few words to Ye Guixue. There were many praises for his conduct, and Su Rong was very satisfied with him after he came back from the Great Buddha Temple. However, he had not really contacted him, so it was difficult to make a final conclusion. He still wanted to find an opportunity to inspect Ye Guixue more like he did when he inspected Zhou Gu. Fan.
Now the opportunity has come!
Without saying a word, Su Xingze put down the file and stood up, nodding to Zhou Gu, "Then I'll go and come back tomorrow."
Zhou Gu nodded.
Su Xingze left the Protector's Mansion.
After Su Xingze left, Zhou Gu clenched the file in his hand with a sad expression. Ye Guixue can go in and out of Shen's mansion openly, but he can't. He can't do the things that Ye Guixue can do with her. The clearer you are in your heart, the more uncontrollably uncomfortable you will be.
He put down the file, lay down and buried his face in the quilt.
Su Xingze returned to Shen's Mansion quickly. He saw the carriage parked at the door of Shen's Mansion and knew that Ye Guixue had not left yet. He asked the housekeeper and learned that Su Xingze went to Su Rong's residence after paying a visit to Mrs. Shen. Yard, he went directly to find it.
When he arrived at Su Rong's yard, he saw the two people standing in front of the table. One was grinding ink and talking, and the other was writing something with a pen. The person who speaks and writes is Su Rong, and the person who writes is Ye Guixue.
The two of them were not standing close to each other, but they were not too far apart. The door of the main room was half open, and the wind blew the curtain. It was vaguely visible that the two of them complemented each other very well.
Su Xingze paused. A moment ago, he was telling Zhou Gu that he supported his decision, but now that he saw Su Rong and Ye Guixue again, he was not sure, because these two people now looked like Also a perfect match.
He was a little hesitant, wondering whether he should go in and disturb them, but then he saw that the two people inside had raised their heads and looked out the door. Su Rong asked him naturally, "Brother, what are you doing standing outside the door? Why don't you come in?" ?」
Su Xingze could only step into the main room.
Ye Guixue put down the pen in her hand and handed over to Su Xingze, "Master Su!"
Su Xingze also handed over his hand, "Second Young Master Ye!"
After the two of them greeted each other, Su Xingze looked at the pages of handwriting written on the table. The handwriting was fluent, very skillful and beautiful. Even he had to praise the good calligraphy and asked in confusion: "What are you doing?" exist?"
Ye Guixue smiled and didn't answer, leaving it to Su Rong to answer.
Su Rong blinked, "I got a new sword manual and chess manual, so I asked Gui Xue to write them down, so that they won't be forgotten by me as time goes by."
Naturally, she would not tell the truth to Su Xingze, nor tell him where or how she got it, lest he, a very upright person, catch her and lecture her again.
Su Xingze took another look at Su Rong, knowing that she must be hiding something from her with her expression, but he didn't delve into it, especially in front of Ye Guixue. He nodded and looked at the thick words written on the table. There was a pile of them, and there was no reluctance on Ye Guixue's face. This was a tiring job, and Su Rong was too lazy to write. It was so embarrassing to catch people and instruct them.
He could only say to Ye Guixue: "Xiao Qi has been lazy since she was a child and has not been diligent in practicing her pen. Don't spoil her too much."
Ye Guixue shook her head with a smile, "Such a small thing, it doesn't matter."
When Su Xingze saw what he said, he could only glance at Su Rong.
Su Rong smiled and said, "Brother, you are here just in time. Gui Xue is really tired from writing. I can't bear to let him write for too long. Will you write next?"
Su Xingze laughed angrily, "Write it yourself."
Regardless of whether he agreed or not, Su Rong picked up the pen and put it into his hand, "You write."
Su Xing stared.
Su Rong stuck out her tongue and urged him, "Hurry up, before my mouth is dry, finish the rest. Especially the sword manual, Fengling is waiting to understand it. He understands it Well, you can protect me better."
Su Xingze had no choice but to pick up the pen and follow Ye Guixue's handwriting, listening to her dictation and writing.
Su Xingze has worked hard on his handwriting since he was a child. His handwriting is not inferior to Ye Guixue's. It is self-contained, very muscular and equally beautiful.
Ye Guixue also immediately praised, "Good words!"
Su Rong was used to seeing Su Xingze's writing, so she didn't think it was a big deal. She didn't feel embarrassed at all when giving orders, and she didn't push the ink-burning work to him just because Ye Guixue was free. She still stayed on her own side. Orally while sharpening the ink.
Her memory was so good that even Ye Guixue was amazed by it.
Ye Guixue sat down obediently and started to make tea for the two of them. With the fragrance of tea and the smoke of tea, in the quiet afternoon, the atmosphere of this painting hall was very peaceful.
Feng Ling quietly peeked into the painting hall, and then asked Su Rong to catch him and let him polish the ink.
Fengling was excited and immediately entered the room and took over the work Su Rong was doing. Her eyes fell directly on Su Xingze's sword manual. He is like a swordsman.
Su Rong's hands were free. She knew that Su Xingze had a good memory. After speaking a long paragraph in one breath, she picked up the tea cup and drank tea. At the same time, she took the time to whisper to Ye Guixue, "My eldest brother loves to take care of others." We must not let him go to Nanchu."
Ye Guixue laughed.
Su Xingze glared at Su Rong angrily and almost threw the pen to her, forcing her to write by herself.
