It was Yeqionglin Garden that was brightly lit.
The glamorously dressed and energetic new veterans gathered at the gate of Qionglin Court early, and after the guards at the gate confirmed their identities, they were led one by one into Qionglin Court by the maid.
Behind the gate of Qionglin Garden, lush evergreen pines and cypresses are planted along the official road, their strange shapes towering into the clouds. In the warm spring, the small bridges, ponds, rockery and running water in the garden reflect brilliant lights, and there are beautiful pavilions and pavilions hidden behind the green trees and flowers, and the peach blossoms in the winding path are as gorgeous as clouds, and the scenery is extremely beautiful.
Xinke Jinshi in groups or alone strolled in the garden, enjoying the pleasant night view of this royal garden.
The leader Shen Yanbei is the former. Everyone looked at this champion Lang Siwen and handsome, with gentle eyebrows and a smile at the corners of his mouth, thinking that he was a good-tempered person, and the emperor was baffled, so they came to make friends.
"Brother Shen, I still have time to congratulate you in the future!" Zhang Cheng, a member of the Qinghe County Township Examination, took the lead in showing good wishes to Shen Yanbei. Zhang Cheng also achieved good results in the Palace Examination, ranking in the top two.
"Thank you Brother Zhang!" Shen Yanbei smiled slightly. Three hundred and twenty new jinshis, many of whom are young talents, if it is okay to have a congenial relationship, they invite a few to join the tour.
Although he has no ambitions, he is now entering the official career, and it is harmless to make one or two friends in officialdom.
A few people were walking and chatting, all of them were young and energetic, and they couldn't help mentioning the four great joys of life-a long drought and nectar, a stranger in a foreign country, a flowery night in the bridal chamber, and the time when the title of the gold list.
Someone quipped Shen Yanbei: "Brother Shen, you are riding a horse parade today. The scenery is endless. There must be a lot of onlookers admiring you. Do you have a good eye?"
Shen Yanbei smiled and said, "I am married, and my wife is very good. I only love him."
"Brother Shen, you actually got married?" Several people were shocked.
Ordinary men can get married at the age of 18 or 9, but those who decide to enter officialdom will not get married so early. After all, the choice of marriage partner is an important bargaining chip that can further the official career, and indulging in love between men and women is not conducive to Do learning. Unless you are a poor student and need to marry a wife to help with your family, you can see that Shen Yanbei is young and well dressed, and his family background should not be bad...
Is it true love? Several people secretly guessed that Shen Yanbei's wife must be a woman of outstanding temperament.
Zhang Cheng, who is more familiar with Shen Yanbei than others, looked strange, and looked at Shen Yanbei with a complicated expression.
He met the wife of Shen Yan in Beikou. It was a pair of sturdy bodies, men-like faces and bleak pregnant moles between the eyebrows!
This champion is indeed different. He has done a good job of learning, and his vision and preferences are also different from ordinary people...
Shen Yanbei smiled without saying a word, and this topic was revealed.
It just happened to be almost the hour, and a group of people took their seats.
The emperor bestows a banquet, the specifications are according to royal standards, and all the dishes are made by the imperial chef. The dishes are full of color, fragrance and exquisite presentation. The banquet on the banquet is the royal brew of the palace. The color is crystal and charming, the fragrance is full, and the entrance is rich and mellow.
Compared with the Luming banquet attended last year, today’s Qionglin banquet is larger and more luxurious.
Eating delicacies and drinking wine, listening to the melodious sounds of silk and bamboo, and admiring the dancing dancers' moving postures, the hearts of all Xinke Jinshi are full of pride.
From today on, even if they have entered the ranks of "shi", they will have a bright future in the future. It is not unimaginable that they have a bright future!
Of course, Shen Yanbei didn't have this kind of thinking. He was carefully savoring the various dishes on his table, and noted the names and ingredients of the dishes.
Since he won the champion, he had to be temporarily settled in Yongjing City, because three days later he had to report to the Ministry of Rites with the other two of the first class, and first learn the etiquette system of the newly promoted officials.
According to the old case, the champion would be awarded to the Imperial Academy for composing, an official position from the sixth rank, responsible for compiling the historical records of the country and recording the words and deeds of the emperor. On the surface, they have become the reserve talents of the imperial court. In fact, the imperial court in the past dynasties is equivalent to the emperor's secretarial agency, and it does things for the emperor.
Regardless of ancient or modern times, the wages for doing miscellaneous tasks are not high, and they can barely make ends meet, and they can't talk about raising a family, so they still have to do business!
In those days when he was going to try out the list, he and Gu Changfeng weren’t just wandering around in Yongjing City. Instead, they stepped on the bustling streets of Yongjing City one by one, ate all the famous restaurants and restaurants, and selected them suitable for opening. The address of the branch of Tongfu Restaurant, I also learned the market situation of the peers, and finally spent a few thousand taels of silver to buy a street-facing store with high personal traffic and to decide on the restaurant’s dishes.
Shen Yanbei drank the imperial brew of the wine glass, and decided to hire a craftsman and carpenter tomorrow to prepare for the opening of the branch.
His 100 acres of peppers have been sown and will be harvested in six months. I heard that the village head of Louxia Village said that Emperor Zhang Bang offered a reward of 100,000 gold to allow people to study ways to increase the production of wheat and other crops, so he bought 20 acres of land for experimentation...
To be an official, to do business, and to farm the land, the next days will be very busy!
Shen Yanbei sighed, and hurriedly put away his thoughts when someone came to toast.
In the end, it was the emperor's banquet for the emperor's students, and Zhao Yulai showed his face in the middle.
"All of you here are outstanding people of our great qi, with great ambitions in your heart. I hope that all the monarchs can contribute to the prosperity of our great tens of thousands of people in the future, and do their best for the prosperity of our great qi!" Zhao Yu said a few words of encouragement Then everyone raised their hands and raised their glasses, "I respect all the monarchs!"
"Follow the edict! Long live my emperor!" For a while, the atmosphere of the banquet was soaring, and everyone toasted.
Zhao Yu drank it domineeringly, letting everyone leave at will, surrounded by palace people.
Suddenly, a servant hurried forward to report: "The emperor, the son of Zhen Guo Gongfu, please see you!"
Zhao Yu stopped: "Xuan."
The heroic man with his entourage walked out of the official road on the side: "Gu Zhongxiao, the minister, see the emperor."
Several palace lanterns were hung beside the official road. Under the dim light, the man with long hair tied high with silver-gray ribbons wore a silver-gray brocade robe with black and gold trim. The black and gold girdle outlined the man’s thin waist. , The man knelt there with his back upright, his whole body steady and steady that no one could ignore. But Zhao Yu just glanced at the man and said, "The son is exempt." Then he turned his gaze on the boy in Tsing Yi, who was kneeling behind the man.
"Xie Emperor." After Gu Changfeng said, he consciously stepped aside.
Su Qingze was looking down at the toe of his shoes, and suddenly a slight footstep sounded, and then a white and slender hand stretched out to him——
Su Qingze was stunned, and as soon as he raised his head, he met Zhao Yu's deep and gentle black eyes.
"Why came here? I thought you didn't want to see me." Zhao Yu's voice was low and soft, unlike the emperor who had just shown his majesty.
"No..." Su Qingze was a little guilty, and Zhao Yu's hand was stretched out all the time, so he had to catch it and get up with Zhao Yu's strength.
Holding the tender hand of the young man in his palm, Zhao Yu released all his indifference.
"This garden has a nice view, let's walk together?"
"...Hmm." The two said that day. Although he accepted Zhao Yu's explanation at the time, the lumps in his heart would not disappear for a while. When Brother Gu came to him and asked him if he wanted to see Zhao Yu, he was silent for a while.
Brother Gu said, don't think so much, just follow your own heart. So... he came.
He thought carefully about the few days the two were separated. He doesn't like Zhao Yu, who is very scheming and calculating, but it is undeniable that he can't let go of Ah Heng, who is so caring for him...
Seeing Su Qingze obediently following the emperor, Gu Changfeng heaved a sigh of relief and turned to the Qingyun Pavilion where the banquet was held.
When he went to see the young man, the young man looked at the table full of delicious food but looked sad, obviously the young man was not happy. He knew where the boy's heart was and he persuaded him.
The love of the emperor may not be pure, but when an emperor shows his unknown side in front of you and leaves all his tenderness and care to you, is it worth trying this kind of affection?
The boy is so sensible, he thinks he will make the right decision.
The night was slightly cool, Gu Changfeng's heart was fiery, and his steps forward were firm and a little eager.
Shen Yanbei, who had had a drunken experience last time, wanted to cope with a few drinks, but it was not good for someone to toast without drinking, so he took a sip of a glass of wine. If so, he was still drunk.
The royal brew of the palace was delicious, but it was full of stamina. Fortunately, he ordered Zhou Yu to pick him up, so Shen Yanbei was relieved to be drunk.
When Gu Changfeng saw Shen Yanbei, Shen Yanbei was drunkly supported by Zhou Yu.
"Master!" Zhou Yu looked surprised.
Gu Changfeng nodded, his eyes flickering slightly on the young man in his costume.
"Why is this person so like my wife?" Shen Yanbei pushed Zhou Yu away, walked staggeringly, squinting and couldn't help but look at Gu Changfeng: "The face looks like, the body looks like..."
Shen Yanbei said as he moved his head to the side of his neck, his nose moved like a puppy: "Even the smell on his body is like..."
Gu Changfeng's cold facial lines softened instantly, and he smiled softly.
Hearing him smiling, Shen Yanbei looked at him suspiciously, stretched out his hand to touch his face, and then went down——
Clavicle, chest, waist...
Gu Chang's cover turned red and hurriedly grabbed the hand covering his hips.
Shen Yanbei smirked all of a sudden: "It's not an illusion, it's really my wife!" After he said, he hugged Gu Changfeng tightly, and gave him a mouthful.
"Daughter-in-law, I miss you so much!"
Gu Changfeng said "um" and hurriedly helped him into the carriage.
There were carriages and sedan chairs around to pick up people. Many people were looking at this side curiously. Those Shinke Jinshis who were still sober all had **** expressions.
"Daughter-in-law, I don't want to sleep alone, it's so cold." Shen Yanbei held Gu Changfeng like a koala, and Gu Changfeng whispered: "I'm sleeping with you." There was a period of youth. Xu, his hands and feet are always cold. He soaks his feet in hot water every night and massages the acupoints on the soles of his feet to help him run the blood. But the young man said it was too troublesome, and put his hand on his warm chest to absorb the heat when he was sleeping. Later, this behavior gradually changed. The young man not only warmed his hands, but also warmed his body, and he became even hotter than the young man!
When I go back, I will give the alcoholic people a hangover soup before bathing and changing clothes.
Shen Yanbei, who was stripped of the water, leaned lazily on the edge of the bath tub, and the caretaker Changfeng was busy in the house and hooked his finger: "Daughter-in-law, come here..."
Gu Changfeng didn't doubt that he was there, and walked over directly: "Why..." Before he could finish speaking, Shen Yanbei grabbed his shirt and pulled the person off, and struck him with a mellow wine scent.
Gu Changfeng missed his heartbeat and opened his lips to greet him.
He kissed the person fiercely, and Shen Yanbei licked his lips intently.
The young man lay there lazily, watching his eyes satisfied and dangerous, Gu Changfeng's face was hot and the water was getting cold, so he hurriedly made him stand up.
Shen Yanbei obediently got up and spread his hands, Gu Changfeng wiped and dressed him with his eyes down.
After two years of training, the young man’s physical fitness has improved by leaps and bounds. Although he is not as strong as him, he is thin and fleshy when dressed. Especially when he puts his hands on the young man, he can feel the power under the thin muscles...
It is best to fasten a belt. Gu Changfeng told Shen Yanbei to go to bed first. He went to pour water, but Shen Yanbei pulled him with his hand and rolled onto the bed directly.
"go to bed!"
Gu Changfeng was taken aback, but the young man really just held him to sleep just as he said.
There are many things in my heart that I want to say to him. I want to tell him that I am the eldest son of the government of Zhenguo Mansion, and I have found out about the doubts, and I want to tell him that he misses him too.
A clear and regular breathing sounded from his ears, and Gu Changfeng stared at the handsome eyebrows and eyes of the young man, his restless heart gradually calmed down. After returning to the government office, he hadn't had a good night's sleep, feeling the youth's breathing and body temperature, relaxing, and sleeping with his eyes closed.
