Chapter 19
Qin Shang's move caught King Yu's heart, and King Yu looked at Qin Shang with such an expression.Qin Shang didn't argue with him too much, such a rascal, he just pretended that he had never met him before, and when he was interrupted by this incident, he felt that his irritated mood improved a lot, and he went back home on his own.
After Song Yu returned to the mansion, thinking about what happened today, he couldn't help frowning and thinking deeply.A few days ago, Mr. Fu of the Minister's Mansion sent someone to post a post asking him to have a meeting with all the young masters in the capital today. Although he didn't really want to go, but most of the people listed on the post were famous young masters. Some people would say that he was proud of his talent and finally went. up.
At first, I thought it was just to keep in touch with these young princes, but unexpectedly the second prince came in person in the middle of the banquet, praised him so much and even offered him a mansion in the name of cherishing his talents.No matter how conceited Song Yu is, he doesn't know how worthy of the second prince's courtesy and corporal with his mere talent?The second prince's ambition is well known throughout the court, and Song Yu has heard about it to some extent, but he really doesn't want to be involved in this kind of dispute, and the second prince's goal is not him.
Song Yusi thought about it, could it be that he wanted to win over Brother Zhou and Taifu Zhou, the second prince knew that he and Brother Zhou were on good terms?This doesn't make sense either, Zhou Taifu is the prince's benefactor, how could he turn to help the second prince, the second prince will not be clear about this.
Unable to think of a reason for a long time, Song Yu sent someone to invite the shopkeeper of Song Ji Silk Village.
This shopkeeper Song came from the Song family's main family. He is a shrewd and experienced man. He was sent to the capital these years to manage the business here in an orderly manner, and he is also loyal to the Song family.Although Song Yu hadn't seen him many times since he entered Beijing, his eldest brother gave him instructions when he went out, so that he could find the shopkeeper to discuss any difficulties he encountered.
Shopkeeper Song arrived in a short while, wearing a plain old robe, with a thin figure.After listening to Song Yu's narration, he stroked his beard in deep thought and asked, "Before the young master comes to Beijing, can Governor Cheng let you visit the old Cheng family?"
"Shopkeeper Song, you mean?"
"The old master of the Cheng family is the former emperor's tutor. He is highly respected and has disciples all over the government and the public. The Cheng family also invited them out of Beijing because they were too eye-catching. Now only the young master of the Cheng family has come to Beijing to develop. The disciples of the old man are grateful for his kindness. Why don't you take care of your son more?"
"That's what they came up with? Not only did I almost put myself in a disadvantageous situation, but I also almost ruined the reputation of my great-grandfather! The second prince is so intentional, if he..."
"My lord! Please be careful with your words."
Song Yu was furious for a moment, and he didn't choose what to say, and he felt that it was too reckless, but fortunately there was no outsider here.In this capital city full of tigers and wolves, one should always be cautious in words and deeds when necessary.I originally thought that my responsibility was to study hard, fulfill the expectations of my mother and grandfather, pass the imperial examination, and then become a good official who pleads for the people.Unexpectedly, this officialdom is complicated, if one wrong step, even family members will be implicated.
Tanhualang was assigned to serve in the Imperial Academy according to the establishment. Too many things happened a few days ago, which delayed Song Yu's entry.Now that Ms. Du's case is settled, and the conflict with General Qin has been resolved, Song Yu will officially take office from next month.
This day Song Yu finished his business and left the Imperial Academy, and saw Song Liu and Sun Hu waiting outside the gate.
"Young Master, you are here. Brother Sun Hu and I have been waiting here for half an hour."
"Why are you here? I just let Depot drive to pick me up."
"Hey~ Young master, I heard that there is a new restaurant in the south of the city, and the cook was invited by Jiangnan, let's try it?" Song Liu's eyes lit up when he mentioned the food.
"Okay, Xiao Liuer, it was you who were greedy and wanted me to take you out to open a small stove."
"Master~ good master, let's try it."
The three of them chatted and laughed and went to the restaurant. The environment of this newly opened restaurant is good. The decoration is fresh and elegant, which is different from the simple and simple atmosphere in the north, and it has the charm of Jiangnan.As soon as he entered the door, the waiter saw that Song Yu was well-dressed and looked good, and warmly greeted them to go to the private seat on the second floor.The three found a private room by the window on the second floor and sat down.The waiter courteously served tea again, and it was Yuqian Longjing. The tea was really good, and it looked very good when paired with a blue and white tureen with exquisite patterns.
When the waiter brought the menu and looked at it, most of them were famous dishes in the south of the Yangtze River, such as salmon with pine nuts, dried longjing shrimp, crab soup, steamed meat with lotus leaf powder, and Song Yu's favorite lion head with crab powder.After being away from home for so long, Song Yu missed his family very much, and now being able to eat a bite of hometown food is a kind of compensation.
When ordering, Song Yu asked Xiao Liu'er to order first, and Xiao Liu'er ordered all the dishes that Song Yu usually liked to eat.Song Yu's heart felt hot, presumably it was because they saw that they were depressed recently, so they purposely found this place to bring them here.
Although he is a cook from the south of the Yangtze River, the dishes have been adjusted according to the tastes of the northerners, and they are not very authentic, but it is very rare to be able to eat familiar tastes thousands of miles away.After the meal, the boredom in Song Yu's heart dissipated a lot, and his mood became much brighter.
After the meal, the three of them walked back to the house slowly. Xiao Liuer was naughty, and when she saw a new gadget on the roadside, she would stop and touch it. Sun Hu followed him and pulled him.Seeing that the two looked like father and son, Song Yu couldn't help laughing, as if he was in charge of his son.
At a relatively clean corner of the street, passing a kite seller, Xiao Liuer was attracted by the lifelike birds and butterflies, and couldn't move her feet.The stall owner is a middle-aged uncle with a shrewd look; "Here, come and get one, look at how beautiful our kite is! The weather is just right now. I bought a kite and asked my sweetheart to fly it in the suburbs." .”
Seeing that Xiao Liu'er really liked it, Sun Hu asked him to pick one and pay for it.Song Encounter was also very tempted by those exquisitely handcrafted kites, and was about to buy a few more, and choose a day for everyone to go outside the city to relax.
He took a step forward and was about to speak when someone hugged him from behind and covered his mouth and nose.Song Yu resisted and struggled subconsciously, but the man held Song Yu tightly and dragged him back.Song Yu was flustered. He didn't know what this person wanted to do. To rob money or to kidnap him premeditatedly?He could only resist desperately, but Song Yu was just a scholar after all, and the opponent was so strong that he couldn't move at all.
Song Yu desperately wanted to shout, but his voice was muffled and he could only stare wide-eyed to see that he was getting farther and farther away from Sun Hu and Xiao Liu'er.The man dragged him back and was about to turn the corner of the street. Song Yu kicked desperately, kicking the wall beside him, trying to attract Sun Hu's attention.But Sun Hu and Xiao Liu'er seemed to be chatting with the stall owner about something, so they had no time to pay attention to this side.
With his mouth and nose blocked and his breathing hard, coupled with the exhaustion of his desperate struggle, Song Yu's consciousness gradually became blurred until he could no longer see Sun Hu and Xiao Liu'er.He only faintly felt that someone had lifted him into a carriage and bumped along the way for a long time until he completely lost consciousness.
