The correct usage of Tsundere Junior Brother

The accountant said without hesitation: "The little one knows everything and can say everything."

Pan Yue nodded in satisfaction, took out the ledger under his elbow, flipped through it, and said slowly: "It's not a big deal, it's not the emperor's birthday, we at Luoyang Taixue also plan to send some congratulatory gifts, but we don't know what to give What's good. So I came here to ask you, what rare things have been given away by each household."

The accountant said with a flattering smile: "If you want to talk about rare treasures, they really have gone to the sea. Those who swim from the bottom of the sea to those who run on the ground, only you can't think of them, and they can't deliver them!"

"Oh? Undersea swimmers, what kind of treasure is that?"

"Naturally, it is a first-class fire coral."

Coral swims under the sea?Isn't it stationary?Pan Yue couldn't help being a little confused, and asked, "What about the ones running on the ground?"

The accountant counted with his fingers: "The snow-treading Wuzi who paid tribute in the northwest, the sky dog ​​who paid tribute in the southwest, and the white tiger who paid tribute in the northeast..."

"Oh..." Pan Yue tapped his fingers on the table inadvertently, and said, "These are still common, but are there any unusual treasures? For example... beasts?"

The accountant approached his ear with a mysterious face, put his hands around his mouth, and said, "Of course there is." He rolled his eyes, and said, "But..."

Another ingot of silver "slapped" on the table.

The accountant said quickly: "The Empress sent someone to spend a lot of effort to catch a beast on Beiyue Mountain. It is said that it has horns and pig ears, and it has human eyes. Eating its meat can prolong your life. !” After the accountant finished speaking, he tightly covered his mouth and said falteringly, “I didn’t say anything.”

Pan Yue raised his eyebrows: "Auspicious beast?"

The accountant took his hand away: "That was caught by Zhang Tianshi himself, and several generals were killed! I heard that eating a small bite of the beast's meat can increase the life span of a year, and its horns can also make alchemy. It is really an auspicious beast." , it seems to be called... called Zhu Huai."

"That's still a pig!" Pan Yue curled his lips, "It seems that I usually eat auspicious animals."

Mr. Accountant wrote "You are so ignorant" written all over his face.

Yang Rongji pondered and said: "All the palaces must have spent a lot of money in order to compare birthday gifts."

"That's not true!" When this was mentioned, the accountant spitting, "Even the empress pays the bill in advance every month, and owes me a lot of money to the Ministry of Internal Affairs. If you want me to say, the people in this palace are just swollen. Being fat is very vain!"

Pan Yue looked down at the account book: "Not bad, not bad, it seems that the queen likes to eat meat, and most of the monthly money is used to buy meat."

The accountant said: "The emperor loves to drink pork rib soup, and the empress cooks soup every day, which is really touching."

Pan Yue closed the account book: "Thank you, little old man! It seems that I have to curry favor with these grown-ups who gave gifts myself."

The corner of the accountant's mouth twitched: "I may not be older than you, it's just that the work I do takes a lot of brain power, and my hairline is a little higher."

The two walked out of the House of Internal Affairs, intending to visit Sima Yu in the mourning hall while the sun was still shining.Pan Yue was thinking about something, so he took Yang Rongji's hand naturally, and did not avoid suspicion in public.The corners of Yang Rongzhu's mouth turned up slightly, obviously in a good mood.

And when I walked to the north side door, I saw two servants sneaking out carrying a heavy black box.

"Stop!" Pan Yue yelled immediately.

The two young servants suddenly looked panicked, they wanted to run but didn't dare to run, and stood there tangled.Pan Yue stepped forward with a white lotus-like smile, and said, "Which palace is it, what is it?"

The little servant muttered: "King Zhao... the snacks rewarded by His Royal Highness Zhao Wang are going to be sent out of the palace..."

Pan Yue's expression stern: "Who is it for?"

"For...for King Zhao..." The two young servants looked at each other for a long time, but they didn't know how to answer, their heads were sweating profusely.

Yang Rongji said coldly: "You're lying, did you steal it?"

The two fell to their knees with a thud: "My lord, please forgive me, I'm so wronged! This is indeed what King Zhao asked us to send out of the palace, and it's definitely not me waiting to steal it!"

"Didn't you say where to send it?" Pan Yue asked softly, but the two young men still bit their lips tightly and didn't say a word.It was rare for Pan Yue to change his temper, and said, "Forget it, it must be His Royal Highness Zhao rewarding a good friend, so if you don't say it, don't say it, I won't make things difficult for you."

The two men breathed a sigh of relief, and said again and again: "Thank you, sir!" After speaking, they didn't want to stay for a moment, and quickly slipped out of the side door.But they would never have thought that those two vicious adults were holding hands and following them slowly.

"I guess King Zhao's raising a young lady outside the palace must be hiding Sun Xiu." Pan Yue whispered in Yang Rongji's ear.

“How come you see?”

"Otherwise, how could these two people act like thieves. I really didn't expect King Zhao to be such a strict wife at such an old age."

"...There are also young men in the mass grave?"

"Maybe King Zhao has a strong taste."

While speaking, Pan Yang followed the two boys to a barren land, which was the burial circle of the poor family.This place is far away from the imperial palace. It is located in the northern suburbs of Luoyang. The land is barren and dry, and there is no grass growing. Even though the sun is shining brightly at noon, it is still very cold.

The two young servants found a simple tombstone with ease. Underneath was a raised mound of soil, but the soil was scattered, obviously it had just been dug.The two took out shovels from their backs and dug up the mound, and sure enough, it was empty.Then, they stuffed the black box they had brought into it heavily, bowed twice in their hearts guilty, filled the hole, and then left.

Pan Yue: "So, they just sent this young man home?"

Yang Volume: "Yes."

Seeing that there was no excitement to watch, Pan Yue and Yang Rongji turned around and returned to the palace slowly.

In the late emperor's mourning hall, there was a person kneeling alone. Although he had been kneeling for a long time and his legs were sore and numb, this person still tried his best to keep his back straight and not let his figure shake.

I don't know how long I knelt, and suddenly a soft call came from my ear: "His Royal Highness."

Sima Kui looked back with his dull eyes open, and it was Pan Yue, holding a long box with a black background and a gold border in his hand, looking at him with a smile.As the sun set in the west, the red afterglow shone slantingly on his delicate profile face, like a heavenly being.Sima Yu couldn't help feeling a little dazed: "What are you doing here?"

During the days when he was punished, the empress ordered that no one should come to see him, so that he could meditate behind closed doors.The prince is usually domineering and domineering, and his popularity is not good, so no one really came to see him.

Pan Yue sat cross-legged beside him with a smile, and said, "I'll compare."

"What else can I compare to?" The Xiyuan market and bank that he devoted his efforts to build were ordered to be demolished, and he almost lost all his money.

Pan Yue opened the long box in his hand, the precious light was shining brightly, and it was a jade flute that was white and flawless.

"Great thing, for me?" Seeing that Pan Yue was in a better mood, the prince clapped his hands in praise.

Pan Yue immediately withdrew his hand, curled his lips and said, "His Royal Highness really knows how to joke, this is a worm who paid a lot of money to buy it, and it represents my Luoyang Taixue's plan to give the emperor a birthday gift."

"Oh?" Sima Yan narrowed his eyes slyly, "Are you planning to compare this with me?"

"The things other people give are big and heavy. I'm worried that such a little thing as a gift from us will be compared, so I came here to ask His Royal Highness what he plans to give, so I can have a good idea."

Sima Yu was silent for a while, and said, "I don't have money to give birthday presents."

"what?"

"The empress asked me to perform pig slaughtering in public as a birthday gift."

What a shame, what a shame!Pan Yue couldn't help but feel sad for Sima Yu's situation.

Sima Yu said, "I don't think there's anything wrong with it. It's just a pity that the prosperity of business that was established in the palace with great difficulty was ruined. What I'm really worried about is how long the prosperity of the Jin Dynasty can last." .”

At this moment, the prince's face is sad, and he still has the world in his heart in a dangerous situation. In Pan Yue's eyes, his figure seems to overlap with that Sima Yan who refutes Zhen Mi, who is a small person in death and a great country.Pan Yue understood in an instant, no wonder Sima Yan wanted to pass the throne to Sima Zhong even though hundreds of people stopped him. It turned out that the real successor in his eyes was the one in front of him.

Pan Yue frowned, held the jade flute to his lips, and said, "I plan to accompany the prince on his birthday, how about it?"

Sima Kui said with great interest, "Come and listen."

Pan Yue puffed up his cheeks and concentrated on blowing out the first note.

Sima Yu suddenly felt something was wrong.

Pan Yue waved his finger on the jade flute like a gust of wind!

The magic sound entered his ears, and Sima Yu covered his ears in pain, rolled his eyes, and collapsed to the ground.

Pan Yue patted his face, saw that he didn't respond, and exclaimed, "Isn't it, it's the first time I play the flute, does it sound so good?"

On this day, the imperial palace washed away its whiteness and bleakness for many days, and was decorated luxuriously and dignifiedly.Although they are not allowed to put on lanterns and festoons, and wear red and green, the maids in the palace still try their best to dress up, because today is the emperor's birthday, and countless high-ranking officials and nobles will come to the palace to celebrate the emperor's birthday, how can this rare money be wasted A chance to get ahead?

And the high-ranking officials and nobles also racked their brains to collect countless treasures from all over the country to present to the emperor on this day, or in other words, to present to the queen indirectly.

Considering that the palace is still wearing mourning, this year's birthday banquet is simpler than previous years, and it is held in the royal banquet hall that can only accommodate 200 people.The emperor and his wife sat in the top seat, Jananfeng still had a dignified smile on his face, while Sima Zhong sat shyly beside his wife, looking sideways at his wife's expression from time to time.Before the banquet started, the table was already filled with delicacies. Sima Zhong was so greedy that he wanted to grab the chicken leg in front of him several times, but Jananfeng beat him back viciously.

Seeing that the banquet was almost full, Jananfeng winked at the maid beside him, and the maid said loudly: "My lords have been waiting for a long time, and may the spirit of our ancestors in the sky bless me in the Jin Dynasty. The Emperor Hui's birthday ceremony has officially begun. The Queen will give you a speech."

The emperor's birthday had to be presided over by the empress, and several veteran ministers serving the two dynasties couldn't help shaking their heads.

If the king cannot become a king, and the queen cannot become a queen, what will happen to the country?

The author has something to say:

Pan Yue, can you play the flute?Pan Yue, can you really play the flute?
