and total

The first batch of imperial edicts issued in the palace after the Empress Dowager was to confer rewards and celebrate the New Year together. After arriving at the homes of honorable and powerful ministers, it was followed by the decree of Kaichun Wei and Fu Xiru's appointment.After all, he became the Shangshu Zuocheng.

Pei Mi also sent someone to send congratulatory gifts, and when Fu Xiru opened it to look at it, Fu Xixing happened to be there, and he stretched out his head to take a look, and was amazed.

It is ancient books and guqin, it seems that it took a lot of effort, and it is very willing.Fu Xixing raised his hand and pressed the strings twice, making a clanging sound.He asked people to take away the piano and ancient books, and then turned to deal with Fu Xixing: "You want to take the imperial examination too?"

He didn't look angry, but Fu Xixing became more courageous and nodded: "Yes, I'm already seventeen! What's the use of staying in Taixue all day, brother, just let me out!"

Among the sons of powerful families at his age, it really seems that he should have passed the imperial examination long ago, or obtained an official position by relying on shade, and experienced in the court.Fu Xiru refused to allow him before, the reason was simply that he felt that Fu Xixing was too out-of-the-box and not mature enough, and he was not at home, so he couldn't protect his younger brother, so it would be better to tell him to stay in the Taixue honestly, which would save a lot of time and trouble.

Now that Fu Xiru is back, Fu Xixing has long been restrained enough, and his mind is active, and he will pester Fu Xiru when he is in a good mood.

In fact, it is not impossible to let him out. Seeing his impatient and coquettish appearance, Fu Xiru thought of teasing him, stopped what he was doing and asked him: "Let you come out? What can you do, let me let you out ?”

Fu Xixing was tongue-tied, and for a moment he couldn't even tell whether he was really taking the exam or joking with himself. From Fu Xiru's face, he couldn't tell anything, so he couldn't help being discouraged, and he paused: "It's better than now. I'm in the Imperial College. I don't know anything, and I can't help you with anything, brother..."

After all, he was spoiled, so he pulled Fu Xiru's sleeves and promised with his head down: "I won't cause you any trouble, and I will listen to you. Don't treat me like a child. I don't know what you want to do." What, but I'm sure I won't mess with you..."

He spoke urgently and earnestly, apparently guessing that Fu Xiru's return would inevitably cause disturbances, but he didn't know more. He was really worried for him, wanted to help, and was afraid that Fu Xiru would protect him like a child. Behind him, he tugged at his sleeves and continued to talk, and then looked at Fu Xiru's expression, but didn't see anything, so he got anxious and jumped on the spot.

"Why are you like this! Don't let me know anything, how good are you?" He just didn't say these things, but when he said it, he was even more aggrieved, staring at Fu Xiru, acting like a spoiled child turned into a temper tantrum: "You How old was I when I left? I have grown up long ago, how long can you hide it from me? Is it so difficult to ask someone to help you?"

Fu Xiru was about to be amused by his noisy temper. If he really laughed, Fu Xixing would inevitably become angry and even more aggrieved, so he had no choice but to bear it quietly and nodded seriously: "Well, you are right."

In fact, Fu Xixing hadn't finished his sentence yet, but he was surprised to be blocked by such a sentence. After he let out a beep, he couldn't continue, and his breath was choked in his throat. After thinking about it, he asked: "Then you agreed?" ?”

Fu Xiru nodded: "But you have to listen to me."

Fu Xixing originally thought that this matter would not be easy to achieve, but he didn't expect Fu Xiru to be so talkative, so he stayed where he was, and it took a while to realize that Fu Xiru really agreed - he didn't make such jokes at all.

So he agreed to Fu Xiru's request with a few voices, and nodded his head like a cat: "I will definitely listen to you, and I will do whatever you ask me to do."

Fu Xiru pushed away the stack of famous thorns in front of him, and made the first request: "You go to Honglu Temple."

Fu Xixing was silent for a moment, joy and joy were gone, cautious, prudent, and painfully discovered the truth: "Actually, you...you have already thought about what you want me to do, right?"

Fu Xiru was unpredictable and did not answer this question.

In Honglu Temple, it is not important to handle guests and rituals, it is a matter of face. Fu Xixing is still very young, and he will only be a petty official if he enters by virtue of his kindness.He had guessed that Fu Xiru might have had this idea for a long time, but he just suppressed it and said it when he couldn't bear to beg him, feeling as if he was being tricked into it.

Although he was convinced that it was all for his own good, Fu Xixing could not help but feel that his elder brother was too nervous, but he didn't want to go against his concern, so he fell down on the couch and rolled around, rubbing the sheets until they were crumpled, before spitting out a mouthful of depression. Angry, I admit it.

In the past, it was always difficult to make him obedient when he was unhappy about things, but after all, Fu Xiru taught him a lot during the years when Fu Xiru left Beijing. This is just the beginning.

He also wanted to go over and ask Fu Xiru what his plans were, and what he wanted to do, but he didn't need to ask, knowing that Fu Xiru would never say anything, so he saved himself the trouble, got up, opened the letter paper, and wrote letters to a few friends.

After laying out the paper, he suddenly paused, remembering the famous thorn he saw at Fu Xiru's place.

He thought that these things would not be invested in Fu Xiru. After all, he was just the Minister Zuo Cheng who had not yet taken office. It's not surprising, whether you want to find a new way, or want to reach the sky in one step, such people are always indispensable.

Besides, Fu Xiru's reputation has long been known all over the world, and there must be a few people who admire him.Wei Liaoxin respected him, partly because of his personal relationship, partly because he was a confidant cultivated before Jian Zuo, so Fu Xiru naturally played an important role in the court, and it might be the most convenient and quick way to follow him.

Fu Xixing frowned, thinking that this seemed to be a good time to attract talents, and felt that it was too obvious to do it, and it didn't seem like something Fu Xiru would do—but he was clearly looking carefully at the poems that came with famous thorns Policy theory, it doesn't look like there is no idea.

This matter was really a headache, Fu Xixing couldn't figure it out, let alone what Fu Xiru was going to do, he thought about it for a while in boredom, he stopped writing the letter, and took his servants out to find Xie Yizhi.

The joy of the new year has not completely faded away, and so is the huge Xie family mansion. Fu Xixing entered Xie Yizhi's yard smoothly all the way, and when he entered the door, he saw the peach charm that he hadn't had time to take down.Casually stuffing the whip into the servant's hand, Fu Xixing stepped into the hall in one step: "Brother Xie!"

Xie Yizhi heard that Fu Xixing was visiting, and he couldn't figure out why he came, but he also prepared some snacks, and stretched out his hand to signal him to sit down: "Why do you come at this time when you are free?"

Fu Xixing has nothing serious to do now, so of course he didn't come to him for business. Xie Yizhi didn't panic at all. When Fu Xixing sat down, he greeted Fu Xiru a few words: "How is your elder brother? I'm busy at home, so it's not convenient for me to visit, but I heard that your house is very lively."

Indeed, another reason why Xie Yizhi was inconvenient to visit was also because of the sudden bustle of the courtyard and the constant flow of people. He went there to add to the confusion. After seeing it once or twice, he listened to his mother's order to send the New Year's gift, and guessed that the Fu family was too late. After preparing firewood and charcoal, silk, satin and silk, and some rare leathers, Xie Yizhi stayed at home safely after these bits and pieces.

Fu Xixing sat down familiarly, picked up a piece of pastry, looked at it, and stuffed it into his mouth: "It's good, but I'm busy. You know, my house is too busy."

He frowned in distress, watched Xie Yizhi nod, and continued to say: "The bustle is annoying, people are greeted and sent all day long, and the family is short of staff. The elder brother is busy with such things every day, so he doesn't have time to talk to me , this year is meaningless at all."

After complaining for a few words, and remembering his purpose of coming here, Fu Xixing stopped, wiped off the scum from his hands, and straightened his face: "I have something to ask you."

Xie Yizhi hummed, and looked at him with questioning eyes.

"My elder brother told me to go to Honglu Temple." Fu Xixing didn't understand the purpose of this idea, and he was a little doubtful when he said it, but he quickly waved away his doubts, and continued to concentrate: "I I really don't know what he is going to do, what plans he has, and I can't help him."

Xie Yizhi vaguely understood, and saw the young man looking up at him eagerly: "I won't ask him, I don't need to know things that I shouldn't know, but if you can, please help me look at the elder brother."

"How do you know he wants me to watch?" Xie Yizhi was stunned, and asked him nonchalantly after a while.

Fu Xixing was not deceived by his nonchalant expression, and sighed dejectedly in the chair: "He didn't want to say anything, he kept everything in his heart, didn't I know something was wrong? I couldn't help anyway, so I had to come please."

Xie Yizhi didn't speak for a while, just looked at Fu Xixing quietly, and sighed after a long time: "I will try my best."

He had never been very serious, if he hadn't taken care of Fu Xixing for several years, even Fu Xixing didn't know that he was actually very reliable.Entrusting his elder brother to an outsider finally made him a little uncomfortable, and at the same time felt that he was useless, sighed, grieved for no reason for a while, then cheered up and thanked: "Then I can rest assured."

Xie Yizhi nodded.

The friendship between him and Fu Xiru is not to say that it was a fateful friendship. After all, it can be regarded as growing up since childhood. Compared with Fu Xixing, he knows more about Fu Xiru's thoughts, so of course he understands the weight of trust and entrustment better. Thinking of Fu Xiru That expression inevitably felt heavy.

The detachment and the courage to look away are definitely not the same thing. He still doesn't know what Fu Xiru wants to do, but he smelled the wind and rain first.

It is the dampness of the thawing soil, and the coldness of the undercurrent penetrating the sky.
