This sleeve is broken secretly

Chapter 83

The news of Shen Yu's return to Beijing spread like wildfire.Anyone with a discerning eye knows in their hearts that although Master Shen was once dismissed and returned to his hometown, that was already a matter of the previous dynasty, and now the new emperor respects this young emperor's teacher very much.

Now that Shen Bingfang has been home for three days, there is already an invitation card half a person tall in the gate, no matter who it is, they want to make friends with this lord as soon as possible, so as to pave the way for their future career.

However, during the three days after returning to Beijing, Shen Yu declined everyone's visits and closed the door to rest.The gate of Shen's house was closed all day long, if someone insisted on stepping up to disturb him, a very polite doorman would come out to accept the posts and return all the gifts.

Those who racked their brains to search for countless treasures to dedicate to Shen Bin were all rejected.Some people couldn't help muttering in their hearts. I heard that this Master Shen, who was called "Jingzhou Tinglan", had a gentle and gentle personality, a tolerant and elegant personality, but now it seems that this Master Shen really ignored his teacher Li Shoufu. I have learned a lot about how to do school, and I can't even rub the sand in my eyes.

No matter who it is, don't think about getting a ride with this lord before others.

However, everyone didn't know that the seemingly fortified Shen Mansion, where not even a fly could fly in, opened the door to one person.

In Shen's house, all the lush white woods were planted back in the yard. In this early summer season, the flower branches swayed gracefully, and the fragrance was so strong that one could get drunk with just one breath.The spring osmanthus in the center of the courtyard is almost out of season, and the delicate yellow flowers have fallen all over the ground, covered with blue bricks, which at first glance looks like gold leaf covering the ground.

Shen Yan put on the half-worn plain Taoist robe again, and was standing barefoot under the osmanthus tree, with a small dustpan and broom sweeping the fallen osmanthus on the bamboo chair.His ankles are shiny and graceful, like handles carved from high-quality white jade. Now he is stepping on the fragrant tapestry, the suet white against the primrose yellow, which has an extraordinarily beautiful and private beauty, which makes people feel I couldn't help but blush when I saw it.

Shen Bin didn't know what was wrong with his clothes, so he was only busy with the things in hand.At this time, he suddenly heard a whistle, and he raised his head in surprise and looked behind him.

At some point, someone sat on the blue tiles in the corridor, looking at him with a smile on his face.

After Shen Ting was startled, he fixed his eyes and couldn't help laughing, and couldn't help joking: "Self-pity is not Song Yu, why is he peeping at my ministers?" The Topic of a Drama I See First", Shao Lian)

Xie Ling raised his eyebrows slightly, turned his eyes around his big ankle, and sighed: "The body is fast and flying, erratic like a god. Lingbo walks lightly, and the socks are dusty. If you move impermanently, you will feel safe. It is difficult to advance and stop, as if going back. Turning the stream of essence, radiant and beautiful. The words have not been uttered, and the air is like an orchid. The graceful appearance makes me forget my meal... If you are so beautiful, why am I peeping at the Song Dynasty on the east wall?" ("Luo Shen Fu", Cao Zhi)

Shen Ting smiled and shook his head, Xie Qin got up and was about to jump off the eaves, but he was stopped by him: "Hey, don't come down now, you may trample on the falling flowers with your shoes on, I'll talk about it after I finish sweeping the area."

"What are you doing sweeping these?" Xie Qin raised his hand and raised the clogs in his hand, "Put on your shoes first. Even if it is early summer, the bluestone brick floor is very cold. You are already cold, so don't be greedy for a while." Cool and cold."

"Don't you want to eat sweet-scented osmanthus and lotus root?" Shen Yan smiled. "Chungui is sweeter than autumn osmanthus. After I collect this fallen flower, wash it and marinate it in honey, it will be ready to make candy tomorrow." lotus root."

"No matter how much I want to eat, it's not worth treating you as if you're barefoot and getting cold... Forget it, you sit on the side and I'll come."

As Xie Ling said, he jumped down from the eaves of the corridor, took off his shoes and socks and threw them aside, and strode to Shen Bing's side.He squatted down, carefully grabbed Shen Bi's ankle and put the wooden clogs on him, then got up and hugged him horizontally.

Shen Bing laughed, and grabbed his skirt tightly: "Be careful, don't fall on me—hey, don't step on your feet."

"Don't worry, your husband still has the strength." Xie Qin put him on the porch, squeezed his waist, and sighed, "There is no flesh left, the little flesh I raised two years ago Feng Yun, even the shadows are gone now... Stay well, in the future, you'd better not do any work except eating and sleeping."

Xie Qin moved neatly, rolled up his trouser legs and sleeves, took a dustpan and a flower broom, and quickly swept the fallen osmanthus all over the floor into a pile, and put them into bags first.His skin is also very fair, he is the kind of person who cannot tan naturally, but because of years of martial arts training, his muscles are full and slender, and he looks extraordinarily strong and powerful.

Sitting on the porch, Shen Bing sipped the Wubao tea brought by his servants just now, looked at Xie Ling's busy back, squinted his eyes and let out a sigh of relief.

"I heard that you rejected all the people who came to visit?" Xie Yin asked while busy with the work in hand.

Shen Ting said "Yes": "I have not yet met the new emperor, if I rashly meet with other people in private, it will inevitably attract criticism."

"Today is not the first emperor...that's all, be careful sailing for thousands of years, you are doing the right thing."

"No matter what kind of character he is today, he is the king of a country after all." Shen Yan slightly lowered his eyes, "This time I returned to Beijing, I have told myself countless times... Only stability and stability can last for a long time."

Xie Ling gave a hand.He straightened up slowly, turned around and looked at Shen Bian in the corridor.Sensing his gaze, Shen Yi raised his head and smiled slightly at Xie Ling.The light golden warm sun and the mottled light spots of the thick shade of the laurel tree splashed on his black hair, shoulders and figure, peaceful and peaceful.And his smile is peaceful and soft, like the most hazy and green sunshine in the early summer morning.

Xie Ling's heart couldn't help throbbing again.Accompanied by the deep throbbing, is the secret uneasiness and worrying about gain and loss.

"Liangqing..." He couldn't help but let out a low cry, "...are you afraid?"

Are you afraid of starting over?Are you afraid of repeating the same mistakes?

If you walk the same way again, will you be as afraid of the undercurrent and turbulence ahead as I am?

Because I have lost it, I am walking on eggshells even more.

Shen Bing bent the corners of his lips, and said softly: "What about you?"

Xie Ling squeezed the broom tightly in his hand, was silent for a while, and finally said in a low voice: "...I'm a little scared."

Only in front of this person, the third young master Xie, who seems to stand upright and fearless, can open the most secret fear in his chest.

"I'm also afraid. But let it, I believe that even if we encounter storms and waves again, we will not repeat the same mistakes." Shen Bing looked at him, "We have experienced the worst ending. As long as the heart remains the same, nothing can change the situation." Let me hold back."

In fact, none of them knew what the future would hold. The new emperor ascended the throne, and the government changed rapidly.The situation in this capital city may indeed be changing rapidly, but what remains unchanged is the eternal undercurrent surging and perilous.

But inexplicably, Shen Yi's words made him feel relieved.Xie Qin exhaled, and smiled at him, the calm and fearless power seemed to return to his body, warm and supporting his soul.

----

On the fourth day of Shen Ting's return to Beijing, Emperor Zhengning finally ordered him to be summoned.

In Zhaoren Hall, Tian Changxue was sitting sideways on a low stool, bowing his body respectfully to report about the spring flood.Emperor Zhengning lived above the main hall, rubbed his fingers against the side wall of the cup, lowered his eyes and listened to Tian Changxue's report for a long time without saying a word.

This season of spring is just over, and it is the day when the rain is luxuriant.The north is fine, but there have been several "dragon boat floods" in the south. The Weishui and Fushui rivers that run through the south directly flood thousands of acres of farmland, and all the cities on both sides of the bank are disaster-affected.

This flood problem is a difficult solution left over from the previous dynasty.The dams are repaired every year, and the floods are also committed every year. Real money is poured down, but it seems to be eaten by the dragon king at the bottom of the water, and there is no effect at all.And this year's floods are particularly serious. The rice seedlings in the south of the Yangtze River were frozen to death due to the severe winter last year. If a number of fields are flooded to death this spring, this year's harvest will be greatly reduced.

Tian Changxue is the doctor of Dushui Qing Lisi, and also a southerner, who knows the floods in the south best.This time Emperor Zhengning summoned him to inquire about the construction of water conservancy. He also prepared for a long time in advance, and now he has expressed his thoughts in detail.

Emperor Zhengning listened very carefully. When Tian Changxue's report came to an end, he murmured and said in a deep voice: "Build embankments to block the river, and the water will return to the water; Turbidity, sand goes with the water. This regulation sounds reasonable. There is a lot of sand and gravel in the muddy water, which is born in the upper reaches and accumulates in the lower reaches. If it is blocked for a long time, it will cause floods. I know these principles. Your method of clearing the sand and clearing the water , It is true that some problems have been solved from the root. It’s just that the Fushui is also very turbulent, how can we ensure that in the process of ‘forcing the Fu and Zhuwei’, there will be no more breaches of the embankment?”

The new emperor was young and very polite and virtuous.The biggest difference between him and the late emperor is that if there is something unclear, he will definitely consult his courtiers.Even if what I say is not correct, I will encourage my courtiers to correct myself, and never get mad because of it.

Tian Changxue knew Emperor Zhengning's temper, and when he heard him ask this question, he immediately said: "Back to the emperor, if you want to keep the embankment from breaking, you still need to build the embankment. Take Gaojiayan at the pass as an example, I think If it is to be repaired, it must be piled densely into the ground, and the deep waves cannot shake it; the piles are built with slabs, and the slabs are built with soil; the soil is solid to cover as far away as possible.”

Emperor Zhengning frowned slightly: "Is it another big expense?"

"This... is indeed necessary if the dam is to be stabilized."

Emperor Zhengning thought about it, but didn't speak.

At this time, I suddenly heard the voice of the internal supervisor outside reporting: "Minister of Rites, Shen Yi, knocks on my face."

Emperor Zhengning's eyes lit up, he sat up straight suddenly, and said overjoyedly: "Mr. is here! Please, please!"
