marquis of jingan

Chapter 324 Take office!

In the evening when the sun was about to set, Shen Yi, led by Xu Fu, entered an inconspicuous alley in the city.

This alley was inconspicuous, but after walking in, the house inside was very exquisite. Xu Fu led Shen Yi, stopped at the door of a house, and then reached out and knocked on the door.

Soon, a little maid came over. After she saw Xu Fu, she looked at Shen Yi next to her.After hesitating for a moment, he opened the door.

Xu Fu turned sideways, and said to Shen Yi: "Please, my lord."

Hearing Xu Fu's name, the little girl's eyes lit up, and then she looked up and down at Shen Yi.

Shen Yi's hand was still hung on his chest by a strip of cloth, and his face was also injured. He looked a little embarrassed at the moment.

After Shen Yi entered the courtyard, Xu Fu hesitated for a moment, and said, "My lord, why don't you talk to Miss Gu, and I'll watch at the door."

"do not…"

Shen Yi glared at him angrily, and said, "Let's go in together, don't leave anyone behind."

As he spoke, he lowered his voice and whispered, "Someone is watching us!"

Xu Fu was startled, and quickly turned around to look around.

But the inner guards who followed Shen Yi were all professionally trained, so it was naturally impossible for him, an ordinary person, to see him.

Not long after the little maid went in to report, Gu Hengbo, dressed in red, walked from the room to the yard. She first took a deep look at Shen Yi, then at Xu Fu, with a smile on her face: "The last time I saw Officer Xu Afterwards, the slave family knew that it was probably not the slave family he bought, and now it seems that it really is not."

She looked up at Shen Yi with a charming and soft tone.

"Did Mr. Shen spend the money?"

Shen Yi took a step back silently, shaking his head slowly.

"I don't think so."

There was some disappointment in Gu Hengbo's eyes, and she said softly: "If you are young and handsome like Mr. Shen, if you buy the slave's house and take it home, you will have face, and you won't leave the slave's house here and ignore it."

She turned Shen Yi aside, made a gesture of invitation to Shen Yi and Xu Fu, and said with a smile: "I'm neglecting you two, let's go inside and drink tea."

Shen Yi took a deep breath and shook his head again: "Master Gu, I'll just talk to you in this courtyard."

Gu Hengbo nodded slightly, she looked at Shen Yi, and laughed at herself: "Could it be Mr. Shen's teacher, some old pedantic scholar, who can make Mr. Shen, a new Jinshi, so afraid, but dare not reveal it to the public?"

Shen Yi shook his head again.

He looked back at Xu Fu, and said, "Xiao Xu, avoid it for a while."

Xu Fu nodded quickly, turned around and left.

He quickly added: "Don't go too far."

Only then did Xiao Xu's footsteps slow down, and he took more than ten steps.

Shen Yi looked up at Gu Hengbo, and asked, "Gu, do you still remember the young man who listened to your music playing on the flower boat on the Qinhuai River last time?"

Gu Hengbo nodded, she looked at Shen Yi, and said, "The man's surname is Li, Mr. Shen respects him very much, he should be from the clan..."

Shen Yi said slowly: "It's the royal family."

The royal family is not the same as the imperial family.

As long as the clan's surname is Li, it is considered a clan with the same ancestor as the Li family, while the royal family is very close to the main line and is a family with the emperor.

Shen Yi looked at Gu Hengbo, and said slowly: "Master Gu, that Mr. Li is the buyer who redeemed you. He likes to listen to you play the pipa. You can live here with peace of mind. If you need anything, just tell Xiao Xu. When the young master is free, he will come to see you again."

"Then what am I?"

Gu Hengbo couldn't accept the current situation.

In the past, she was a famous prostitute in the Qinhuai River and a star figure in Jiankang City. Even Li Mu, the heir of the Qin Dynasty, would call her everyone, but now...

However, she was inexplicably trapped in this small courtyard outside the customs. Not only could she not communicate with others, she couldn't even see her "man"!
She looked at Shen Yi, bit her lips: "Is it a foreign house, or a plaything?"

Shen Yi shook his head noncommittally, and he said quietly: "Master Gu will have to endure for a few years. After a few years, Master Gu may be free or rich."

It all depends on the emperor's preferences.

A few years later, the emperor matured and could have the final say in the court. If he still liked her at that time, he might arrange a clean background for her and get her in the palace. Instead of possessing her alone, he would set her free.

Shen Yi looked at the young but charming woman in front of him, and smiled: "One day in the future, maybe taking care of everyone, I can stand up to a height that I never thought of before."

The height Shen Yi mentioned was to give birth to a son for the emperor.

Gu Hengbo's eyes flickered.

She seemed to have vaguely guessed something, but she opened her mouth, but dared not say it.

Shen Yi stretched out his hand and said slowly: "Master Gu, can you give me the key here, and I will pass it to Mr. Li."

Everyone Gu didn't speak, but silently glanced at their maid, who quickly returned to the house, took out a brass key, and handed it to Shen Yi.

Shen Yi turned his head and left.

"Remember, everyone, I haven't been here today, and you haven't seen me either."

Even if this kind of thing is done for the emperor, it is somewhat embarrassing.

If Gu Hengbo hadn't clamored to see the rightful owner, Shen Yi would not have come here to meet her in person.

…………

In the following period of time, Shen Yi spent most of his time at home recuperating from his injuries. Occasionally when he felt bored, he would go to Dayifang to talk to Mr. Gu, play chess, or go to Liquanlou to read.

Sometimes Junior Sister Lu would come to see him at home, so Shen Yi took Junior Sister Lu to visit the mansion that had been hung with "Shen's Mansion".

He quietly told Miss Lu that this place was already his Shen Ziheng's property.

Miss Lu didn't say anything on the surface, but she obviously cared a lot. In addition to making medicine for Shen Yi, she also bought a few pots of flowers from Dongshi Street and put them in the backyard of Shen Yi's house.

As time passed day by day, Shen Yi's injury gradually healed.

It was just a dislocation, no bone damage.

In early June, he took off the white cloth hanging around his neck, and went to see Dr. Sun again to make sure there was no root cause of the disease.

The day after Shen Yi's arm recovered, the imperial edict was delivered to Shen Yi's home.

It was Shen Yi's old acquaintance Sun Jin who came to announce the decree.

As for the content of the decree, Shen Yi had already heard it from Eunuch Gao, and it was basically the same without any difference.

This can't help but make Shen Yi feel the strength of the imperial power.

According to the original rules, he, a 51-ranked Jinshi, basically has no chance of entering the Hanlin Academy, but the emperor, the rule maker, can easily create a set of rules out of thin air, and forcefully carry him into the Hanlin Academy hospital.

After announcing the imperial decree, eunuch Sun Jinsun handed the imperial decree to Shen Yi, and said with a smile: "Shen Sizheng, from now on we will work together in the mansion newspaper department, you will be the servant's superior, but you need to take care of your servant more." .”

Now it is the eunuch Sun who is in charge of the report department of the residence.

However, the Dibao Division is affiliated to the Ministry of Rites and is a yamen of the outer court, so Sun Jin does not have the title of Sizheng, but only represents the Ministry of Internal Affairs as a director of the Dibao Division.

The post of Di Bao Si Si Zheng was vacant before this.

Shen Yi said a few words to him politely, and said with a smile: "I don't understand anything, I need Eunuch Sun to teach me a lot."

After the two flattered each other a few words, Eunuch Sun left.

After Shen Yi changed into a Jinshi uniform, he also walked towards the palace.

He is going to report to the emperor in the palace, by the way...

Report to the Hanlin Academy.
