Emperor's Trophy

Chapter 17

On the third day of February, the school gave a holiday. It turned out that most of the schools had a holiday on this day, and let the students go to pay homage to Emperor Wenchang.

Yunzhen has gone through three lives, although each life is very short, but he has never been interested in Wen Dao. Originally, he planned to continue practicing his bow drawing at home. This thing is born without practice in a day. He put a copper coin on his elbow I have practiced drawing the bow for a long time, and I only persisted for two sticks of incense. Now it is time to start.

But Zhu Jiang made him insist on going, Yun Zhen was a little annoyed, he clearly remembered that he was not interested in this in the past.

But Zhu Jiang said: "Don't mention it, I originally wanted to live in the city with you to watch the wrestling, but I heard that there are two good but not dead Ji Huaiqing and Ji Huaisheng all sent posts to the Duke's Mansion, inviting Today I pay homage to Emperor Wenchang and attend his literary meeting. Who is going to participate in any literary meeting with him! But they are all grandsons of the emperor, so they should not be offended. Our master insists on me going, so I can only prevaricate by saying that you have made an appointment with me. I also went to Wenchang Emperor's Temple to burn incense, which is already accepted, and I will encounter embarrassment at that time. My father thought about it and thought that he didn't have the guts to offend you. You and I have been good since childhood, so that's all. You have to help me anyway. This time, I don't want to mess with those people."

Zhu Jiangxu murmured: "Think about it, what Lao Shi Zi Wen Hui, you have to write a poem at every turn, and for a sentence, you have to be punished to write a poem! It's rare to take a rest, why bother! Why don't we just go Dijunmiao clicked, took a turn to deal with the family, and then went to see the wrestlers?"

Yun Zhen chuckled, thinking of Ji Huaiqing and Ji Huaisheng in the previous two lives, none of the children with the surname surnamed Ji had a crush on himself and Zhu Jiang, the dandy in the noble family, but in this life they are so flocking to them: "It's true, The long history of our mansion also sent a post and invited me. I was too lazy to go and pushed it. Speaking of which, the last time I heard that I tweeted his post, he probably thought I didn’t know how to flatter him, so he didn’t give me any more I've posted the post before, and I accepted the post for my son's birthday party before, so he felt at ease. You said that we two are dudes, stubborn masters of eating, drinking and having fun, how could we catch their eyes?"

Zhu Jiang curled her lips contemptuously: "Isn't it because you have won the sacred favor? These days, no one in the academy knows that Xiao Zhaoxinhou has won the sacred heart." He lowered his voice: "Even our grandpa and grandpa Ask me." These days, because of this rumor, and because he is Zhao Xinhou's childhood playmate, his status in the family has risen a lot.

The master no longer picks his nose and eyes at him, and he is no longer the same cynicism as before when he said that he will go to school. There are many more rituals than usual. Normally, the monthly benefits are always half a month late, and there are still several short items in hand, but now everything is in place.

Although he was careless, he also knew that it was Yun Zhen's fault. He felt a little uncomfortable, especially recently he felt that Yun Zhen's attitude towards him was a bit alienated from before, and keeping his filial piety seemed to make him a different person.

Before, he regretted that his parents were not around. Although he inherited the title, he was lonely and had no one who cared about him. Later, he found out that he was still favored by the emperor, and he was deeply loved.

The only son of the eldest princess who holds the military power in the world, he is favored by the sage, and he has no taboos in and out of the palace. He is also the young son of the Duke of Wu's mansion. In fact, his grandfather is still alive and has not yet separated. Once his grandfather dies, his uncle becomes a nobleman, and the eldest house occupies the Duke's mansion. If the family is divided, he will be a poor and settled family, and he will not be able to become a martial artist... …Brother Zhen is still different from me.

Yun Zhen turned to look at him, with a pair of slightly helpless smiles and said: "Just go."

Zhu Jiang saw that there seemed to be no impurity in his glass-like eyes, reflecting her own shadow, and suddenly felt a little embarrassed, but——a sense of unwillingness surged up, he didn't want to let go, he enjoyed this little Zhaoxin selfishly and happily The name of Hou's only friend, he thinks Brother Zhen only sees him, only sees him, only plays with him, even if he knows the huge difference in their identities, he doesn't want to let go.

The Wenchang Emperor Temple is located in the valley to the east of the capital, and it has always been full of incense. This year is the year of the big exam, and countless candidates have poured into the Wenchang Emperor Temple, praying that Chun Wei will be named on the gold list.

On both sides of the valley road, there are all kinds of stalls selling groceries and food. On the open ground on the side of the temple square, there are countless jugglers enclosing the area for a living, some swallow knives, some walk clouds, There are ladder dancers, fire hoop jumpers, all kinds of things, and it's very lively.

Yun Zhen and Zhu Jiang passed through the crowds, walked to the front of the main hall, offered incense and donated incense to Emperor Wenchang.

Zhu Jiang excitedly rolled up her sleeves, revealing her honey-colored skin, drew a lottery and said loudly, "I'll see what I can get! Anyway, Master Wenchang doesn't like me!"

For a while, everyone looked sideways, and many students looked at him with the same eyes: where did the ignorant dude come from?

Zhu Jiang opened it and smiled nonchalantly: "Hey, it really is a lottery... Huh? I didn't ask about the marriage, what kind of ghost lottery is this?"

Yun Zhen turned his head and glanced at this careless person, and sure enough, he saw the signature in his hand that read, "A mountain looks like a picture facing the Qingjiang River, reunion inside and outside the door is a double thing; who would have thought that halfway through the analysis, Kong Wei would be speechless to the silver cylinder. "

He smiled sarcastically. Zhu Jiang turned her head and saw his smile. For some reason, she felt a little nervous, and quickly put it aside: "What about you? What's your number? Come and see."

Yun Zhen was just playing around and didn't say anything. As expected, he read the signature, but it was Zhang Zhongping's signature: "There is nothing in front of the bottle and singing loudly. What is the future? .”

Zhu Jiang said: "Hey, it seems that neither of us brothers are favored by Emperor Wenchang, but it's okay to be able to drink and sing."

Yun Zhen didn't care. Standing under the tree of the signature document, his eyes seemed to be looking at an unknown place. Zhu Jiang thought he was in a bad mood, so he hugged him and said, "I've burned the incense, and the vegetarian food here is not good. , I know that there is a family that makes very good rouge roast goose, we went to the theater garden, while watching people wrestling, I asked someone to buy the freshest one, and we went to watch the wrestling while eating."

Yun Zhen was noncommittal, and suddenly heard someone laughing behind them: "It turns out that Lord Xiaoyun and Young Master Zhu are here, what a coincidence."

Yun Zhen turned his head and saw Ji Huaisu in Tsing Yi, with calm eyes, standing behind him, nodding and smiling slightly at him, followed by only a little book boy.

Zhu Jiang was startled, turned around to see him, and smiled politely, "Young Master Huai Su." He had a good impression of Ji Huai Su, after all, he was quiet, unlike other princes and grandsons who were so spotless.

Ji Huaisu also took the road sign in his hand, and asked Zhu Jiang with a smile: "They are all classmates who are studying at the same school, so there is no need to be polite, what good lottery can the Hou and Mr. Zhu draw?"

Zhu Jiang said with a smile: "I will sign the lottery, but I don't care. Anyway, I don't do scientific research. Brother Zhen is just a draw. There is nothing to say. Where is Mr. Huaisu?"

Ji Huaisu smiled and said: "Although it is signed, but what I told Mr. Zhu was just asking for an idea, so it can't be taken seriously. No matter whether you are up or down, just ask for your heart."

Zhu Jiang had already stretched out her hand to see it, Ji Huaisu handed it to him, and Zhu Jiang read it out: "The white lotus blooms in the jasper pool, and its majestic appearance is natural; born with extraordinary bones, he is the first immortal in the world."

"Tsk," Zhu Jiang said with a smile: "Sure enough, Master Wenchang loves people who can write articles. It's the first time I've seen such a good sign. Brother Zhen, don't you think so?"

Yun Zhen glanced at Ji Huaisu, and suddenly the corners of his mouth twitched into a strange smile: "It's quite suitable, Mr. Huai Su is spotless and as clean as a lotus."

Ji Huaisu was shaken by his smile, like a feather flicking in his heart, and felt doubts about the sarcasm in those eyes, and couldn't help laughing: "The incense is also on, I don't know where Lord Xiaoyun plans to go I heard that Mr. Huaiqing also held a literary meeting in the Kuixing Building at the foot of the mountain today. Many scholars who are hopeful for the current subject, as well as many celebrities, have arrived. It is very lively. I don’t know if it is Lord Yun and Mr. Zhu Are you going to pass? How about we go together."

Zhu Jiang shook her head like a rattle: "Writing and so on, it's too boring. I discussed it with Lord Hou, and I will go back to the city after I burn the incense. I have booked a box at Baixi Pavilion. Today is the last day of the gladiatorial fight." It’s a competition, and whoever wins will get the top lottery! It’s so beautiful! I bet ten taels of silver on that jade unicorn! Just wait for the ratio to double!” He talked about these things with gusto.

Ji Huaisu still had a smile on his face: "Is that so? I haven't seen a wrestling fight yet? I wonder if Lord Hou and Mr. Zhu can bring me to see the world together?"

His gaze was as serene as spring water, and when he looked at Zhu Jiang, he was also extremely sincere. Zhu Jiang quickly smiled and said, "I dare not take it. My name is Zitong. Mr. Huai Su just call me Zitong."

Ji Huaisu smiled and said: "Zitong, the heart of a child is very good. I haven't taken the word yet, so you can call me Huaisu. Then Zitong is willing to take me to have a look?"

Zhu Jiang's face was slightly hot: "Don't dare to be a son, as long as you don't find it too noisy, don't you think so? Brother Zhen, there are all kinds of religions and streams over there. I'm afraid the son is of a noble background and rich body, and he will find it vulgar." After pushing Yunzhen, he obviously still didn't dare to go past Yunzhen to make a decision.

Ji Huaisu looked at Yunzhen again, with a smile on his face: "Master Hou, would you like Huaisu to accompany you?"

Yun Zhen was looking at the high sky, with a slightly dignified expression and departed. Amidst the din of gongs and drums, two jugglers danced with a beautiful lion head. The lion head held a string of huge firecrackers in its mouth and was shaking Jumping and jumping on the high cloud ladder, the lion's head is cute, shaking his head and tail, and he is about to climb to the highest cloud platform, and the pilgrims below are cheering and applauding.

But in the eyes of Ji Huaisu and Zhu Jiang, this appearance clearly meant rejection, which was a bit too exaggerated. No matter how disfavored Ji Huaisu was, he was also the grandson of the dignified clan. Ji Huaisu couldn't help but feel a little stiff.

Yun Zhen suddenly turned his head to look, and called out to the attendants who followed the guards far behind: "Get my bow! Quick!"
