After the trestle bridge, the waist and abdomen of Long Live Mountain will be open, the white jade railing along the road, the stone road paved with cobblestones, the mist rises on the mountainside, walking on the stone road on the mountainside is like taking off, the pavilion not far away is clearly visible, Yang Jian was happy in his heart, accelerated the broken steps, and called in a low voice: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty ......"

Seven or eight inner guards on the side, Zhao Ji blowing tea foam, sitting under the pavilion looking at the mountain down, the spring rain is misty, it seems to be endless, bringing a bit of sass, he is wearing an ordinary round-necked brocade shirt, a paper fan made of white marble is placed in front of the desk at will, a pair of eyes seem to have penetrated the clouds, looking towards the golden and brilliant Forbidden Palace.

When he came back to his senses, he found that Yang Jian had arrived beside him at some point, and Zhao Ji smiled slightly: "You came so excitedly, isn't there something happy?" ”

Yang Jian smiled and said, "Your Majesty knows the slave best, and the slave can't hide anything from you." He paused for a moment and continued to say happily: "Your Majesty, please take a look, this is the latest issue of Suiya Weekly." ”

After that, Yang Jian took out a newspaper rolled into a barrel and carefully spread it in front of Zhao Ji's case.

Zhao Ji smiled and said with a bit of interest: "A weekly magazine can also teach you to be happy like this, you might as well tell me directly." ”

Yang Jian said with a smile: "Then Shen Ao has new news, saying that the official family is sympathetic to the people's suffering, and teaches the Ya Mountain House to give porridge and water, and wants to teach the people to be grateful for His Majesty's kindness." ”

Zhao Ji sighed, went to read the weekly, put down the weekly, and put the weekly, with a little doubt in his eyes, looked at Yang Jian and said, "I asked you about the Bianjing homeless people?" ”

Yang Jian smiled and said, "Back to Your Majesty, no." ”

Zhao Jihu wondered: "What's going on?" ”

Yang Jian said: "Your Majesty doesn't know yet? This Shen Ao wanted to do good deeds, but he didn't want to leave a name, so he attributed it to His Majesty. ”

Zhao Ji's eyes changed to a bit of wisdom, and he said with an incomprehensible smile: "According to me, his mind is not so simple!" ”

Then, Zhao Ji sighed slightly, and said: "The matter of the palace examination has been revealed, Shen Ao has won four consecutive exams, and the first place in two games, this person is really weird, a young man, but why is everything understandable, as if he has his share in everything; Yang Jian, I ask you, have you ever heard of such a talented young man? ”

Yang Jian pondered for a while, shook his head and said, "Except for this Shen Gongzi, throughout the ages, I am afraid that no one has such a name." However, the official family is not bad, blowing playing, calligraphy and painting, singing, and lyrics are all proficient, and among the sons of heaven throughout the ages, His Majesty is the most powerful. ”

Zhao Ji obviously made Yang Jian's words happy, laughed, waved his hand and said, "Don't forget that I can also bow!" ”

Yang Jian sneered, but his expression was very serious: "Yes, there is also Keju, the official's foot strength is unstoppable except for Gao Taiwei." ”

Zhao Ji slowly put away his smile, changed his color and said, "Okay, there is no need to say flattery, I heard that Taishi Cai is at odds with that Shen Ao, right?" ”

Yang Jian looked left and right, and said in a low voice: "I'm afraid that this matter has something to do with Your Majesty!" ”

Zhao Ji raised his eyes and asked, "What is this for?" ”

Yang Jian smiled slightly, and reminded Zhao Ji: "Your Majesty has not forgotten, the last time in the Iya Mountain House, the scholar named Cai Lun is the great-grandson of Cai Taishi, Cai Lun does not know the height of the sky, and has a quarrel with His Majesty, it is Shen Ao who stepped forward and humiliated Cai Lun, and since then, Shen Ao and the Cai family have not been on good terms." ”

Zhao Ji nodded approvingly: "I actually forgot, speaking of which, this is really me, find a chance, I will be a peacemaker." Taishi Cai's conduct is still excellent, for example, this time when he was the main examiner of the book exam, he still made Shen Ao the first place regardless of his previous suspicions. ”

Yang Jian said with a smile: "There is nothing to say about Taishi Cai's conduct. ”

Looking at the fog and rain, Zhao Ji got up and stretched, and said happily: "You have to ask about the palace test, this palace test must be very exciting, I want to take a good look at this good show." ”

……………………………………………… After a while, it was the palace test, Shen Ao was very leisurely, and he didn't accept it after playing for two days; When I got up early in the morning, the doorman sent an invitation, saying that Mrs. Shi was invited.

Mrs. Shi? The wife of the Duke of Weijun?

Shen Ao looked at the gilded post, but smiled bitterly, this Mrs. Shi has been thinking about introducing his wife to him, this time I invited her, could it be that there is a suitable candidate?

This Mrs. Shi was invited, and Shen Ao had to go if he didn't want to, so he had to ask the stables to prepare a car and go to visit alone.

The carriage drove to the mansion of the county prince of Jingcheng Fangwei, the county mansion in addition to the main gate, there are two wheels for the coachman to enter and exit, the coachman is the driver of the Zhou Mansion, often drives with Zhou Zheng to the Shifu, so the car is familiar with the road, goes into from the west gate, drives through the stone road that is 100 meters long, and stops in front of a hanging flower gatehouse.

When Shen Ao got out of the car, the head of the Shi Mansion came to greet him, looked at Shen Ao with a smile and said respectfully, "Your Majesty is Shen Gongzi, right?" Shen Gongzi, please, Madame has been waiting for a long time. ”

Shen Ao asked, "I wonder what happened to Mrs. Shi calling the students?" Oh, I almost forgot, I haven't asked my brother Tai Daimyo yet. ”

The director said with a smile: "Shen Gongzi is polite, the contemptible surname is Deng, you just call me Deng." Let's talk about this as we go! His face was a little anxious, so frightened that Shen Ao couldn't ask anymore, so he stepped up.

Along the way, Director Deng chattered about the matter, it turned out to be the visit of the princess of Jin, chatting with Mrs. Shi for a few words, and then sighed that the flowers in the back garden of the Jin palace did not know what disease they were infected, but they were yellow, and they were gloomy and sad, and the six gods had no owner.

Mrs. Shi said that since the gardener couldn't find the root of the disease, it was better to call Shen Ao to come, and said that Shen Ao had a thousand benefits, and said a few words about Shen Ao's omnipotence, such as chanting poems and paintings, such as curing diseases and saving people, most of these things were mentioned by Mrs. Zhou to Mrs. Shi, and Mrs. Shi relayed it to Princess Jin, Princess Jin was anxious, so she felt that it was good to let Shen Ao give it a try, so she invited someone to come in a hurry.

Shen Ao listened, his pace couldn't help slowing down, and he smiled bitterly in his heart, is the Shen Ao that Mrs. Shi said herself? It sounds like Superman Shen Ao.

Hey, the tree is very windy! But the matter has come to this, even if he wants to escape, he can't escape, sigh in his heart, follow Deng Zhu through the weeping flower instrument door, only to see the courtyard is deep, surrounded by plum trees and fine bamboo, a three-story attic with warped eaves facing south, towering and handsome standing among the flowers and green trees.

"Shen Gongzi, when I arrive, I'll go in and report it." Director Deng hurriedly went in, and after a while, he came out again and said, "Shen Gongzi, please." ”

Stepping into the attic, the decoration in the building is not exquisite, originally like such an important place, it is difficult for ordinary guests to enter, even if Zhou Zheng comes, he must also be accompanied by the county prince; However, Shen Ao is only a junior in the eyes of Mrs. Shi, there are many rules for juniors, but sometimes there are few constraints, this small hall is quiet and elegant, I saw Mrs. Shi sitting and talking with a graceful woman, this woman is about thirty years old, fair-skinned, wearing a brocade red dress, sitting with Yingying, she has a dignified look, raised her eyes to see Shen Ao, and asked: "He is Shen Gongzi?" ”

Shen Ao walked over and said, "Back to the princess, the student is Shen Ao." ”

Mrs. Shi smiled: "What are you doing with so many courtesies?" Come, quickly take a brocade pier and invite Shen Gongzi to sit. ”

Princess Jin shook her head and said, "Don't sit yet, you can't afford to delay it!" Let's ask Shen Gongzi to go to the palace to see my flowers. ”

Mrs. Shi covered her mouth and smiled: "Shen Ao, don't be surprised, this is the princess of Jin, who loves to plant flowers and plants the most, those flowers are her lifeblood, and now many flowers in her back garden are withered and yellow, and she is also anxious, so this is the case." As he spoke, he remembered an interesting story again, and said: "The last time the county lord of Qinghe plucked the roses in the back garden, the princess was sad for a few days because of this." ”

Rose? The county lord of Qinghe?

Oh my god! Shen Ao hung his head in shame, and silently thought in his heart, Amitabha, isn't this the sin of his own making? Fortunately, fortunately, the little county lord was still very righteous and did not confess himself.

Princess Jin nodded and said: "Yes, Shen Gongzi, I was in too much of a hurry, I had long heard that Shen Ao was not only good at reading, but also proficient in all kinds of miscellaneous studies, so I wanted to teach Shen Gongzi to see what kind of disease my flower was, and why it was all yellow in the blink of an eye." ”

Shen Ao had a hard time, so he had to bite the bullet and said: "The princess doesn't have to be polite, since that's the case, the students will go and have a look, but although the students know a little bit about fiddling with flowers and plants, it is not easy for the students to guarantee whether they can succeed." His mind was chaotic, trying his best to recall some knowledge of flowers and plants in later generations.

As an art thief, if he doesn't understand flowers and plants, it is a lie, but what he understands is limited to some precious flowers, and he doesn't know anything else; Therefore, he has no confidence in his heart, but since people have asked for it, no matter whether it is successful or not, he has to give it a try!

Princess Jin had already stood up and said, "Mrs. Shi will also go to the mansion to sit together, and we will leave." ”

Before settling in Shifu, he was going to the Jin Palace, Shen Ao couldn't cry or laugh, and he had some expectations for this Jin King, the King of Jin is the grandson of Shenzong, the second son of Zhao Wei, the king of Yi, and the brother of Zhao Ji of Huizong.

In the Song Dynasty, the closest clan was generally the king of Jin, the king of Qi, and the king of Chu, and the grandmasters with lower status were mostly the kings of Zhao, Yue, and Wu.

Shen Ao also came to this era and lived in the Guogong Mansion, so he knew about the gossip in these clans.

King Jin, this is already the highest title of a very human minister, although he has little influence in the court, but he belongs to the head of the clan, and is often the person in charge of the great sect, the so-called great sect is the reading force outside the court, specially used to restrain the institution of the clan, in addition, there are also duties such as assisting the palace to preside over the worship of heaven and ancestors.

Shen Ao never dared to underestimate this institution, whoever could master it was equivalent to the leader of the entire clan and royal family, no wonder the last time the county lord of Qinghe came to look for him, that Wang Huang dared to offend the prince of Qi Guo and the prince of Wei County, but he didn't dare to be presumptuous in front of Zhao Zixing, the father of this little county lord can be in charge of the voice of the entire royal family.

Just imagine, if the king of Jin is unhappy, he leads a group of royal clans to cry, make trouble and hang himself, and ask the emperor to deal with Wang Huang, although Wang Huang is a young ruler, the emperor wants to protect him in order to calm things, and finally has to demote him to exile.

This is the power of the royal family, although there is a Song generation, although the royal family has been hiding in the shadows, not as arrogant and domineering as the previous dynasties, but it is also a force that cannot be ignored.

The carriage followed Princess Jin's car to the palace and stopped, this palace Shen Ao had been here, and followed the little county lord to see the crane, in fact, the princess he also had a relationship, but at this time, the princess was afraid that she had forgotten the glimpse in the back garden.

Shen Ao got out of the car, followed the princess into the palace, the palace covers an extremely wide area, if the buildings of the Weijun Gong and the Qiguo Mansion are mostly chic, then this Jin Wangfu is a big open, graceful with an inviolable solemnity, the majestic palace attic is located in the lush greenery, surrounded by carved beams and painted corridors, like a labyrinth.

Princess Jin was worried about the flowers and plants in the back garden, so she kept going, all the way to the back garden, Shen Ao followed her through the moon hole, and her eyes suddenly opened up, under his feet, countless vines and flowers paved the ground, mixed with the spring breeze rippling with fragrance, and then in the distance, there was a fake stone pavilion, the pavilion was also full of green vines, and many yellow flowers were born on the vines, swaying slowly in the breeze.

"Generous!" Shen Ao couldn't help but praise in his heart, it was the first time he had seen such a large flower garden, some of the flowers under his feet were known, some were unknown, and he didn't know how many varieties there were.

"But now it's embarrassing, so many flowers, but I don't know which ones are sick? I'm afraid that those sick buddies haven't even seen it, if that's the case, the buddy will be a big loss. Shen Ao thought about it, and his brows couldn't help frowning.

Princess Jin stopped in front of her and beckoned to Shen Ao: "Shen Gongzi, come with me." ”

"And the flower beds?" The shock in Shen Ao's heart was even more difficult to hide, this large flower garden had opened his eyes, if there was a flower garden in it, Shen Ao really didn't know what kind of mood to use to describe it.
