Your Majesty will suffer

The days before the year seemed extremely long, and the weather was not very beautiful. It was sunny and snowy intermittently.

The twelfth lunar month is finally here, the birthday of the Son of Heaven is approaching, and the envoys from Central Shu will also arrive in Beijing.Nangong Ji still had some hopes: Even if he didn't say it clearly, the family should know his situation, so they might help him out!

It's a pity that God's will seemed to embarrass him. The envoy brought fine wine and famous products from central Sichuan, as well as clothes and boots made by his mother, but he didn't bring any money for emergency!I have read my father's autographed letter, and I know that my father You was angry because of the past, and it is the [-] guan from last time, which my mother begged for him!It has been stated in this reply that if he does not repent, he will no longer expect to get a penny from his family!

Immediately, that little hope also turned into a bubble, Nan Gongji really wanted to be able to hibernate in this freezing season like a beast in the mountains, and when the spring was warm and the flowers bloomed, the clouds of sorrow would naturally dissipate.It's a pity that he is not a wild beast, and he doesn't need to hibernate. While he is awake, he has to think about what birthday gift he should give that person this year.

In the afternoon, taking advantage of the fine weather, Nan Gongji wanted to go out to explore the market, but someone took the opportunity to send an invitation---Invitation to Pingleju!Leave the signature blank!

Nangongji knew it well, but he couldn't bring himself to be interested. He thought that this son of the clan really doesn't know the sufferings of the world. Now that he is so down and troubled, how can he have the time to have fun with them? Having gathered twice and invited banquets so frequently, if Jiao Yushitai detects any clues, no one will be lucky!It's just that the slander belongs to the slander, and it's gone after all.

The moment he stepped into the gate of Pingleju, Nan Gongji came to a sudden realization: there might be someone else who invited the banquet today.

One person, one tea and one game of chess in the hall, it seems that he has been waiting for him for a while.Nan Gongji felt deeply regretful, knowing that the official family was coming, he didn't drink the tea at home.

The waiting person came late, Yue Ling didn't care, and poured tea for him with his own hands.Even though it was intimacy, Nan Gongji was flattered by this move.

Speaking of which, the two hadn't had a good get together for a long time, the more ill they were at first, it would have aroused suspicion, so Nan Gongji was not allowed to enter the palace; after recovering from the illness, it was the end of the new year, with heavy court affairs, and no time to get together. Even if we could meet each other once in a while, we had to get together and leave in a hurry!The so-called so close to the end of the world, that's it. . .

The tea was poured, Nan Gongji took the teapot, put it down, and frowned: "It's so cold."

Yue Ling was surprised: "The tea is brewed squarely, how could it cool so quickly?"

Nangong Ji shook his head, took his hand that was holding the pot just now, and rubbed it lightly in the palm of his hand: "Why are your hands so cold? It's sunny and snowy this day, you shouldn't have come out! Now that you've come out, you have to wait more Wear some, otherwise what should I do if I suffer from the wind and cold again?"

Yue Ling silently let his movements go, looking down at the table.He was distracted, and suddenly felt something warm and moist on the back of his hand. He was slightly startled, and two light-colored red clouds slowly spread from the base of his ears. . .

The room is as quiet as water.The two pots of purple orchids on the table under the window exude a faint fragrance, which adds a bit of elegance to the tranquility.

Nangongji has been playing chess for a while, but he still can't fall.

Yue Ling took a sip of tea: "Nangong Shizi is also hesitant?"

Nangong Ji simply threw the pot back into the pot, picked up the teacup, and took a sip slowly: "This pot is really hard to get! I've considered it for a long time, but it's still difficult to choose. It seems that the decision must be made by the officials. "

Hearing his words, Yue Ling seemed to have a voice behind the strings, and for a moment he was noncommittal.

The man continued: "From the point of view of the officials, do you want to end this mess earlier, or do you want to deal with it for a while?"

Yue Lingqing frowned, re-examined the chess game in front of him, it seemed that there was no flaw, so he expected him to brag, but sneered: "You have this ability, show me it, if you win within ten pieces, I will obey you."

Nan Gongji put down the cup, propped his head on one hand, and looked at the person sitting opposite him playfully: "There are too many ten sons! It's not early at the moment, and after finishing this game within five sons, there is still time to go to Yuxianlou to find a nice seat! However, Since it is a game, the officials have to bet something to make it interesting."

Yue Ling said: "You want to bet so much!"

The staff raised his hand and said, "If I win, the officials will allow me to do something."

Yue Ling's eyes then touched the chessboard, he was slightly startled, and then swallowed what Fang was about to say. . .

After dropping the last child, Nan Gongji said with a smile, "Acceptance".Although Yue Ling saw this smile as disgusting, but he couldn't get annoyed, he was a little flustered, not knowing how that person would play tricks on him.

"What gift do you want for the official's birthday?" Unexpectedly, the next thing the man said was this!

Yue Ling was surprised, but also heaved a sigh of relief.Birthday gift!However, there is more than half a month before his birthday, he really hasn't thought about it yet!Let's think about it.

Yuxian Tower is worthy of being the best among restaurants, the layout and furnishings inside and outside are all excellent, and it seems that it is not inferior to the palace!

After drinking for three rounds, Yue Ling felt a little dizzy, got up and walked to the corridor, looked out from the pavilion, the neon lights from far and near complement each other, and the white sails on the Bian River a few miles away are still clearly visible in the night!There are row upon row of houses on the shore.For a while, I couldn't tell which was the boat and which was the house!

Suddenly, on a whim, I also want to play tricks on that person!Then he turned around and said seriously: "Nangong Ji, I want something, are you willing to give it?"

The man raised his head, his face was flushed with alcohol, and he smiled brightly: "What you want, but I have it, why don't you say it? I will find it for you, too."

Knowing that this was a drinking conversation, Yue Ling's heart became hot, and he almost stopped talking!But after all, he still wanted to see the man's dumbfounded expression, so he said: "I want to find a quiet place, how about you give me Pingleju?" After saying that, he stared at him intently.

Unexpectedly, the man didn't even frown, and said: "I said something rare, it turned out to be the house, if you want it, I will give it to you with both hands!" However, just as he finished speaking, he seemed to remember something, and said with a stroke of his forehead : "Of course, it's just..." His voice suddenly sank, and the last two words almost stuck in his throat.After thinking about it for a while, I was afraid that the man would think that he was reluctant, so he said: "Wait for me to discuss with Yunxi..." As soon as the words came out, I felt it was inappropriate, but it was too late!

Yue Ling wondered: "Yunxi? What does he have to do with that house?"

At this moment, Nan Gongji was very annoyed at the slip of the tongue, trying to make up for it, so after pondering for a while, he said: "Bianliang has an inch of land and an inch of gold, and I didn't have enough money to buy this house at the beginning, because this house was originally rented, and it was returned. Xiang Yunxi and the others raised some money, but up to now, I still haven't paid the money for some reason, so... the current peaceful and happy residence does not belong to me."

Yue Ling was surprised: "If it doesn't belong to you, does it belong to him? Why does he want your house when he doesn't leave the palace at all?"

Nan Gongji was gradually regaining consciousness, and replied: "I don't have a lot of money now, if I can't repay this debt, then he can also take this house and rent it out, and it will be counted as settlement."

Nangong Ji never imagined that he would be so deceitful today!Maybe he should admire his dexterity, anyway, Yue Ling will not pursue the matter of that house for the time being.He only bowed his head and pondered for a moment, then said: "You still need to borrow money?"

The opportunity has come!Even though face is important, it cannot replace food and clothing!Nangongji knew this truth in his heart, and he also knew that the opportunity must not be missed!So he pretended to be sad for a while, drank the remaining wine in the cup, and said sadly: "Officials, do you remember how long it has been suspended?!"

Although Nan Gongji was both reviled and exiled, he has never been demoted, so it's easy to handle!Just a few years ago, the imperial decree was promulgated: the successor's salary is only one of the first, and the second is to advance him to be the general of Zuo Yaowei, with a higher rank!Even among the clan, this title is not low.In fact, according to the usual practice, the reward for the clan should be in the next year, so this decree was made earlier.The reason, Yue Ling smiled: "After the New Year, someone returned to Beijing to disrupt the situation."

Nan Gongji had already heard that old Lu Zi, who tried his best to drive him out of Beijing, was coming back!Yue Ling had planned for a long time, besides rewarding Nangong Ji early, his younger brother Yue Zhi was already sixteen years old, so he should be crowned king!This move should be able to stop those troublesome mouths in the DPRK and China.
