Hanlin Academy——


    Chen Zhiheng sat in front of Nanmu book case, holding a record of the previous dynasty with a blue book cover, blocking a yellowish rice paper below. He was quietly painting some messy things.


    At this time, a burst of footsteps sounded in the back. Chen Zhiheng was startled and hurriedly blocked the rice paper below with the record of the previous dynasty.


    "Cough!" A cough sounded, but Bi Zhangyuan came in.


    Chen Zhiheng pretended to look at the record. He didn''t want to. The rice paper under the record was taken away. Chen Zhiheng was startled: "finish, finish... Take charge of the yard..."


    "Hum!" Bi Zhangyuan snorted coldly, balled the whole rice paper into a ball, and then threw it out. He said in a deep voice, "what are you doing all day long? Is your record right? Have you sorted out all the rules? "


    "It''s ready." Chen Zhiheng whispered.


    Bi Zhangyuan pursed his lips: "others are busy, you are playing, hum."


    Then he turned and went out.


    Zhao Fanxu glanced at Chen Zhiheng with a smile: "let you wander."


    "What do I mean by deserting? We''re not here to study. We''re really staring at those historical records every day. Can''t we waste our time? " Chen Zhiheng said.


    The Imperial Academy is a nursing institution. In addition to performing the functions of compiling records and revising the actual records of the national history of the previous dynasty, the extra time is left to the people of the Imperial Academy.


    At this time, there was a sound of footsteps outside, but Chu yunpan came back, holding a thick book with a yellow cover in his hand.


    "Yunpan, you''re back." Zhao Fanxu was happy as soon as he saw Chu yunpan“ Is the waiter tired? "


    "Don''t be tired, just stand beside me. If the emperor has any questions, I can answer them." Chu yunpan said and went back to his seat.


    Zhao Fanxu listened with a burst of envy in his heart.


    I went to the South study to be a consultant to the emperor. The emperor will ask what he doesn''t understand or doesn''t understand when reading the folding.


    It''s usually the above two attendants and attendants who don''t have time to arrange the compilation of these new subjects.


    Of course, if the emperor especially likes a scholar who has just entered the Imperial Academy, he will ask him to go. Now Chu yunpan is a favorite of the emperor. It''s been two days in a row. Bi Zhangyuan can''t stop it.


    Zhao Fanxu thought that he had just entered the Imperial Academy and was so favored by the emperor. If he continued, there would be no suspense about staying in the Imperial Academy after three years of imperial examination.


    At this time, the bell outside rang again.


    Zhao Fanxu laughed: "Alas, I finally went to the Yamen. By the way, you two, do you want to eat the sour papaya you ate last time? "


    He said with an ambiguous face.


    Chu yunpan and Chen Zhiheng smoked at the corners of their mouths.


    "Hahaha, I''m kidding. I''ll go first." Zhao Fanxu said and left in a hurry.


    Chen Zhiheng thought that the little old man must have made an appointment with the girl in the dance workshop last time.


    Chu yunpan looked at Chen Zhiheng and said, "brother Chen, I heard you like BEIMEI tea in Tongzhou. I have several bags at home. With my ice emerald lamps, I can make a cup for you."


    "Ah, good!" As soon as Chen Zhiheng heard this, he quickly promised to come down.


    After they left the palace together, there was a stable for horses and carriages.


    Chu yunpan got on the horse. Chen Zhiheng was stunned: "yunpan, why do you always love riding?"


    "Cool." Chu yunpan smiled.


    Chen Zhiheng was speechless for a moment, so he had to get on his carriage and go to Chu''s house together.


    When the two returned to Changsheng street where the Chu family was located, Chen Zhiheng''s face stiffened. Only then did he realize one thing in horror.


    Last year, he seemed to have a crush on the big girl of the Chu family and asked his mother to ask someone to marry him. As a result, he was rejected!


    Later, he didn''t give up. He ran to the Chu house and stopped the Chu girl to ask again. As a result... Now he wants to poke his eyes!


    Now he realized with horror that his colleague who had been together for nearly two months was the elder brother of the big girl Chu.


    Now, Chen Zhiheng is embarrassed.


    At this time, the carriage was led by Chu yunpan into the west corner gate and finally stopped at the Chuihua gate.


    Chu yunpan got off the horse and handed the reins to Yu Han. Chen Zhiheng jumped out of the carriage.


    The boy who drove Chen Zhiheng''s horse called Mingru. He came to Chen Zhiheng and whispered, "childe, isn''t this... Miss Chu''s home? Chu Zhuangyuan... This is a family! " His face was livid.


    Chu Yun climbed forward and said with a smile, "brother Chen, what are you muttering about?"


    Chen Zhiheng has always been frank and outspoken. He doesn''t like hiding things most. He arched his hand at Chu yunpan: "I don''t know what brother Chu heard about last year?"


    Chu yunpan''s mind was sharp. He knew that he was talking about Chu Miaoshu, so he smiled: "naturally."


    "Well..." Chen Zhiheng thought that Chu yunpan specially invited himself to come home. For some reason, do you still want to set him up with Chu Miaoshu? Thinking of him, he shivered, arched his hands and said, "yunpan, it''s good for us to be colleagues. I don''t want to be relatives with you."


    Chu yunpan smiled: "well, if brother Chen doesn''t like it, I won''t force it."


    Hearing this, Chen Zhiheng breathed a sigh of relief and smiled brightly: "hahaha, I knew yunpan that you are a straightforward and reasonable person. You don''t have so many twists and turns in your heart."


    Chu yunpan smiled but didn''t speak. He made an invitation gesture, and then they went all the way to the west across the courtyard.


    On the blue stone road where the wicker fell, Yu Yang ran over: "Third Master, third grandmother made cakes for you. Go to qiongmingxuan to eat!"


    Chu yunpan nodded and looked at Chen Zhiheng: "brother Chen, go and repay my wife''s skill."


    "OK."


    Chu yunpan said to Yu Yang, "move my tea sea to the courtyard."


    Yu Yang promised and hurried back.


    Chu yunpan and Chen Zhiheng walked slowly and finally arrived at qiongmingxuan.


    Chen Zhiheng raised his head and saw that the wall was somewhat broken, and some old plaques were hung on the high lintel, with the words "qiongmingxuan" in the big book.


    When I walked in, I saw that the front four main rooms were towering, the middle courtyard was wide, the wing room of the winding corridor was on the right, but several banana trees were planted on the left, and there was a set of bluestone tables and stools under the tree.


    There were two girls sitting there. There were a pile of crimson and white things on the table, like flour. I didn''t know what they were busy with.


    There are two stoves on the side, one with a cake cage and the other with a pot.


    The two girls, Chen Zhiheng, naturally recognize ye Tangcai.


    Ye Tangcai sat facing him, rubbing a white round thing like dough in his hand, talking to the girl opposite her.


    The girl, with her back to him, was wearing a green coat and a light orange skirt. A bun was combed back, and a golden peach hairpin was right behind it. Bright red tassels hung down. Her long black hair was scattered, and her exquisite and slender waist was hidden between her long black hair.


    "Ah, the third master is back." When ye Tangcai saw Chu yunpan, he stood up with a smile, "eh, this is..."


    The Chen family and the Ye family have always had friends, but the Chen family has few children, so this generation will have a Chen Zhiheng. In the past, Chen Zhiheng mixed with men at any banquet of the Ye family, and had little contact with the Ye sisters and women''s dependents.


    Ye Tangcai really didn''t recognize Chen Zhiheng.


    She looked at Chen Zhiheng. She saw that he was a young man of twenty-three or four. He was not very handsome, but he was a bit bright and clear.


    "This is my colleague Chen Zhiheng. Speaking of it, he is an old friend with your mother''s family." Chu yunpan smiled.


    Ye Tangcai listened. The whole person was stiff, like thunder.


    She asked him to find a Jinshi. It''s good for him. He just brought the Tanhua Lang here!


    "Oh, I remember. Yunpan, you married Miss Ye." Chen Zhiheng, alas, looked like his own.


    At this time, ye Lingjiao also looked back.


    Chen Zhiheng saw Ye Lingjiao, and then his face was uncomfortable: "Ye... Miss ye..."


    Ye Lingjiao was also stunned and gently frowned.


    Chu yunpan noticed that they looked different and went to ye Tangcai: "what''s the matter with them?"


    "Er..." ye Tangcai whispered, "I remember this. The year before last, at my grandmother''s birthday party, cousin Miao... Played a song "hundred water clouds". Childe Chen said that he didn''t play well as a childe. My sister-in-law was very angry and had a quarrel with him. "


    Chu yunpan was stunned: "is there such a thing?"


    "Uh huh." Ye Tangcai nodded.


    Chu yunpan''s eyes flashed the inevitable light: "however, I want him to be my uncle!"


    Ye Tang picked a corner of his mouth and said, "are you serious?"


    "Yes." Chu yunpan nodded. If you can''t, you can do it!


    Chen Zhiheng was embarrassed to see ye Lingjiao. He still remembered the quarrel between him and ye Lingjiao. He only felt that ye Lingjiao was unreasonable and fierce. I didn''t expect that Miao Jihe is dead now.


    He felt a little guilty about ye Lingjiao.


    "What are you doing?" Chu yunpan said, looking at the mess on the table.


    "Jujube paste yam cake! And making dumplings. " Ye Tangcai smiled and said, "let''s do it quickly, sister-in-law."


    Chu yunpan glanced at Chen Zhiheng: "brother Chen, let''s do it too."


    "Ah?" Chen Zhiheng was stunned. Didn''t they come for tea? How did it turn into making dumplings?


    Chu yunpan had already walked over, washed his hands in a water pan on one side, and sat down beside ye Tangcai.


    Chen Zhiheng himself stood stupidly. It was not like the same thing, so he walked over and saw ye Tangcai and ye Lingjiao kneading the dough to make yam cakes.


    Chu yunpan said, "you can even do this?" Normally speaking, they are all golden girls who don''t touch the spring water.


    Ye Tang said, "when I was a child, I was in a panic. I was bored with all my embroidery work. Once I saw mammy Cai cook delicious food for us, my sister-in-law took us and said to do it by ourselves. It is said that only by learning can we appreciate the taste in our mouth. "


    "Do you think it''s better to eat after you learn to cook?" Ye Lingjiao smiled.


    "Yes!" Ye Tangcai said and stuck out his tongue, "but I still didn''t do well."
