Chapter five hundred and eleventh wind and clouds rise

Sima Chengzhen is not the kind of serious Taoist master. In addition to talking about Taoism and mystery, he often shows people the game. Therefore, the jokes of Shangqingguan in the palace, with the intentional spread of Princess Yuzhen and Princess Jinxian, spread throughout Luoyang City in a moment. Just as Du Shiyi rejected Shangzhu because of the reason why he was destined to win his noble wife, and then the high-ranking officials and nobles did not dare to agree to him as a daughter. Now Sima Chengzhen said that he wanted to compensate Du Shiyi for his lonely loneliness over the years, and planned to choose a girl who suited him, but he didn't know how many hearts he had touched.

"Du Shijiulang is now twenty-four, but he has already been in his early twenties as an official in the palace's censor. This is simply an anomaly."

"I don't know which girl Sima's sect leader liked? If this is true, he quietly wandered around the people...

"It would be great if I chose my daughter."

Such discussions spread all over Luoyang City, so that when Du Shiyi visited Princess Yuzhen at the Anguo female Taoist temple, she couldn't help but smile bitterly: "The two masters are really amazing in their creation. Even the Du clan members have quietly asked me if it is true, let alone in the Censorate, their colleagues looked at me in a strange way."

"I want to hug the beautiful woman again, but I don't want to be talked about too much. How can such a good thing be done?" Princess Yuzhen's eyes narrowed into a slit until Du Shiyi smiled bitterly and begged for mercy. She said with a smile, "Don't worry, this is something my sister and I have already discussed, and we will grasp the measure. As for the Sima Sect Master, are you still worried that he will joke with you on such a big thing? But you, I haven't settled the score with you yet."

Princess Yuzhen suddenly put her hands on her hips and showed anger: "You kidnapped Yu Yao for three years, and it was not until three or two months that the news was sent back. Do you know how worried my sister is?"

Faced with such a criticism, Du Shiyi had to raise his hand to surrender. He explained that he was afraid that the letters would be too frequent and that after someone saw the clues, Princess Yuzhen still showed anger on her face, but she only snorted lightly. When Du Shiyi asked how the specific arrangements of the marriage would be, she said proudly: "Don't worry, naturally, I won't let Sima Sect Master tell others that Wang Yuanbao's daughter is a good match, otherwise how could Brother A be fooled easily? Yu Yao is also a blessing. You have a keen eye to make her show her talents. If you can get married in the future, you will be a perfect match. I really don't know how many people will be envied."

"That's also the two masters of the temple." After Du Shiyi smiled, he thought about what Wang Jin had asked before, and then he said, "Today is the day when the exam is started in Caoze, the master of the temple. Do you know that Wang Shisanlang's younger brother Xia Qing also takes the exam in the morning."

"It's Jiu Niang's wishful husband. I've seen him. When Jiu Niang brought me the person to see, she looked full of joy. I heard that she is now pregnant with Liujia."

Princess Yuzhen remembered the situation when she saw Wang Jin and Cui Jiuniang standing together, and she couldn't help but feel stunned for a moment, and then smiled and said, "After many years, you don't have to worry about anything I can't figure it out. Wang Shiwulang is also famous in both worlds. You mentioned this matter specifically. Could it be that he has any problems with this subject?"

"With Xia Qing's ability, there should be no problem standing out, but this time, there are many officials and even Pinzizhu Guozi. If there is any bias when marking the papers, it will be difficult to guarantee it." At this point, Du Shiyi paused and said as if nothing had happened, "Just when I was in the provincial examination, did the test taker Li Na almost put me in the last place because of someone's instructions?"

Princess Yuzhen didn't care at first, but after Du Shiyi said this, she couldn't help but ponder. After a while, she smiled and said, "It would be fine if it was a different subject to the examination. Today's examination was Caoze's own examination. Brother A's original intention was to fear that Caoze's talent would be the only one who had been able to open this examination. Now it's Jiwei and other officials who are fighting for it. At that time, I will ask someone to give me a slight note by my brother. Wang Shiwulang, however, makes the policy statement really the best choice, and he will definitely be able to give it a high grade. But you, don't just worry about others. You might as well think about how to handle your marriage. In addition, I have one thing to ask you."

When Du Shiyi came out of the female Taoist temple of Anguo, Princess Yuzhen's proposal was still in her mind. In fact, after three years of leaving the capital, the happy and happy days of the emperor who was far away from the sky were naturally more inclined to the latter than the intrigue between the two capitals. However, if he really wanted to go wherever he wanted to go, he would not have to worry so much when he asked to be a county magistrate the previous time.

Except for the first night when he arrived in Luoyang, because the night banquet in Cui's house lasted too late, he stayed there. However, Du Shiyi lived in the private house he had rented and bought in Guandefang these days. For the emperor like the Censor of the Palace, he went to court every day and naturally lived in the closer to Luoyang Palace, as the better. His only favour was today, the last day. On the way back, he remembered that he had not yet met Guo Quan in the Censorate before. When he got off the horse at the door of his Du house, he still asked a question, but the person he wanted to look for had no news, and the person he didn't want to look for came uninvited.

"Langjun, Censor Guo has never been here, but someone from the uncle Langjun of Lechengfang has sent a post to him, so I ask Langjun to go there for a while when I am free."

Du Shisanniang didn't mention it, and he almost forgot that there was an uncle in Luoyang.

Du Shiyi was a little bored, but even if Du Fu was not the relative of living together, he had the title of an uncle and could not completely ignore it. Therefore, after lunch, he randomly picked a few local products brought back from Jiangnan and took Chibi, a servant out. This was his first visit to Du Fu's private house in Lechengfang. Fortunately, Wuhou in the Fang led the way and found it successfully. Luoyang, like Chang'an, has high prices and higher housing prices. Du Fu is not a high-quality official. The house looks inconspicuous at all, and the servants in front of the door naturally have no cleansing atmosphere, only an old servant dozing off by leaning against the door.

It was not until Chibi raised his voice and shouted for the third time that the person opened his eyes. Although the old servant knew Du Shiyi, he hurriedly went inside to report it. After a while, he greeted Du Shiyi with agility that was completely inconsistent with his age and ear strength, and respectfully led Du Shiyi in. Before, Du Shisanniang came, but most of Du Fu avoided him and only met with the guests from Wei. But today Du Shiyi came to the door, so he could no longer be as pretentious as before. He actually picked up people at Yimen.

"I haven't seen each other for seven years, and Shijiulang is already alone." Relying on his uncle's identity, Du Fu could naturally say such condescending words, but he did not dare to put on airs. Then he turned the topic to another aspect with a clever and clever attitude. "Now the staff of the Censorate are changing. Whenever you return to Beijing, you must be careful. Li Chaoyin is the person who is a censor who is short of staff, and everyone is interested in him. However, before, the Sacred Heart was alone and there was no chance for him to take office. This time he happened to let Cui Yinfu take the place of him, and he inevitably wanted to use people as a target..."

These words of analyzing the situation in the court are justified. Du Shiyi knew that Du Fu was not successful now, so he was bored and analyzed it blindly. But if he reached out and didn't hit the smiling person, he had to go there vaguely and perfunctorily. When Du Fu went to see Wei again, he sat down in the bedroom and saw that the drink brought by the maid was a cup of tea, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly.

He actually knows his preferences.

As a housewife, Wei looked at Du Shiyi and saw that she was taller than before, handsome and wearing a white shirt that she looked very different from those ordinary white shirts. It was obvious that she was a demeanor she had learned after entering the officialdom. When she thought that her biological son Du Wangzhi was still a naughty child, the eldest son Du Anzhi had passed the Ming Jing with the support of Du Shiyi. Her husband Du Fu was a candidate in Beijing. She felt that the jealousy in her heart was getting stronger and stronger. She didn't notice what Du Fu and Du Shiyi were saying, and suddenly she made a decision and said something.

"Zhijiulang, I heard that Sima Zong mainly helped you solve the fate? My mother's niece is just in her prime...

Before she finished speaking, Du Fu couldn't help but sternly scolded: "You can talk nonsense, and you dare to take it out and match it, are you confused?"

"Why am I confused? Shijiulang said he was the destiny of a noble daughter, but he delayed it until now. Now, taking advantage of the east wind of Sima Sect Master, if he didn't settle the marriage as soon as possible, would he continue to drag it down? What's wrong with my niece? Although there are no prominent direct relatives in the family, it is Jingzhao Wei family after all. Isn't that noble daughter waiting for my noble daughter? Is it not that kind of aunt who protects my nephew and is not welcomed?"

Seeing that Wei was talking, his eyebrows were already standing up, as if he was becoming more and more reasonable, Du Shiyi, who was already unintentional and stupid, couldn't help but feel even more disgusted. He coughed heavily, but stood up and said, "Uncle, I have some things to go to the Jinglongnu Taoist Temple, so I'll say goodbye."

Du Fu invited Du Shiyi to come today. He originally planned to use the news he just got to get closer, but he didn't expect Wei to be so ignorant. He just sat down and said a few words to make the person go away. His face suddenly turned blue and white. But Wei was ungrateful. Seeing Du Shiyi bowed and was about to walk out, he even reached out and pounded the couch hard, and said angrily: "Shijiulang is now a big official, his wings are hard. He doesn't take me, the elder seriously, right? He will leave if he doesn't agree. Who are you showing your face?"

"Enough." Du Fu finally couldn't stand his wife's stupid words anymore. After yelling angrily, he even ordered the maids around, "Help the wife go to rest in the room, and he always thinks a lot. He turns around and finds a doctor to see him. He is getting older, but he doesn't know how to teach him well. Now he is taking over the affairs of Shijiulang. Come to my study and I have something to say to you."

Du Shiyi was originally interested in Du Fu's invitation, but he didn't expect that Du Fu would angrily shout his wife and drag him out a little tough, and then whispered outside the door: "The two noble masters sent me a message, saying that Sima Sect Master is the leader, and your marriage will soon be full of surprises."
