In the evening, when the sun was about to set, Shen Yi, led by Xu Fu, entered an inconspicuous alley in the city.
This alley is inconspicuous, but after walking in, the houses inside are very exquisite. Xu Fu led Shen Yi to the door of a house and stopped, then reached out and knocked on the door.
Soon, a little maid came over. After seeing Xu Fu, she looked at Shen Yi next to her. After a moment of hesitation, she opened the door.
Xu Fu turned sideways and said to Shen Yi: "Master, please."
When she heard the name Xu Fu, the little girl's eyes lit up, and she looked Shen Yi up and down.
One of Shen Yi's hands was still hanging on his chest by a cloth strip, and his face was also injured. He looked a little embarrassed at the moment.
After Shen Yi entered the courtyard, Xu Fu hesitated for a moment and said, "Sir, why don't you talk to Miss Gu and I'll guard the door."
"Don't…"
Shen Yi glared at him angrily and said, "Let's go in together and don't leave the other behind."
As he spoke, he lowered his voice and whispered: "Someone is watching us!"
Xu Fu was startled and quickly turned around to look around.
But the internal guards who followed Shen Yi were all professionally trained, so naturally they couldn't be seen by an ordinary person like him.
Not long after the little maid went in to report, Gu Hengbo, dressed in red, walked from the room to the yard. She first took a deep look at Shen Yi, then looked at Xu Fu, with a smile on her face: "The last time I saw Mr. Xu Later, the slave family knew that it was probably not the slave family that he redeemed, and now it seems that it is not the slave family."
She raised her head and glanced at Shen Yi, her tone charming and soft.
"Is this the money Mr. Shen spent?"
Shen Yi silently took a step back and shook his head slowly.
"Not even when you think about it."
There was some disappointment in Gu Hengbo's eyes, and she said softly: "If a young gentleman like Mr. Shen redeems the slave family and takes him home, he will have face, and he will not leave the slave family fostered here and ignore him."
She turned aside Shen Yi,
He made an invitation to Shen Yi and Xu Fu, and said with a smile: "I'm sorry for neglecting you two. Let's go inside and drink tea."
Shen Yi took a deep breath and shook his head again: "Everyone, I will say a few words to you in this courtyard."
Gu Hengbo nodded slightly. She looked at Shen Yi and laughed at herself: "To be able to make Mr. Shen, a new scholar, so fearful and afraid to make it public, could he be Mr. Shen's teacher, some old scholar?"
Shen Yi shook his head again.
He looked back at Xu Fu and said, "Xiao Xu, please step aside."
Xu Fu nodded quickly, turned around and left.
He quickly added: "Don't go too far."
Xiao Xu's pace slowed down and he took more than ten steps.
Shen Yi looked up at Gu Hengbo and asked, "Gu, do you still remember the young man who listened to you playing music on the flower boat on the Qinhuai River last time?"
Gu Hengbo nodded. She looked at Shen Yi and said, "That man's surname is Li. Mr. Shen is very respectful to him. He should be from the clan..."
Shen Yi slowly said: "It's the royal family."
The royal family and clan are not the same.
As long as the clan's surname is Li, it is considered a clan if it has the same ancestor as the Li family, while the royal family is very close to the main lineage and is one family with the emperor.
Shen Yi looked at Gu Hengbo and said slowly: "Everyone, Mr. Li is the one who redeemed the Meimu turtle. He likes to listen to you playing the pipa. You can live here with peace of mind. If you need anything, just tell Xiao Xu. Wait for Li When the young master is free, he will come to see you again."
"Then who am I?"
Gu Hengbo couldn't accept the current situation.
In the past, she was a famous prostitute in Qinhuai and a star in Jiankang City. Even the prince of Qin like Li Mu would call her everyone, but now...
However, she was inexplicably trapped in this small courtyard outside Guan Guan. Not only could she not be able to interact with others, she could not even see her "man"!
She looked at Shen Yi and bit her lip: "Is it a foreign residence or a plaything?"
Shen Yi shook his head noncommittally and said quietly: "Everyone Gu will have to endure it for a few years. After a few years, everyone Gu may be free or rich."
It all depends on the emperor's preference.
In a few years, the emperor will mature and be able to have the final say in the court. If he still likes her, he will be able to arrange a clean background for her and bring her to the palace. If he doesn't like her anymore, he will not come back. Possessing her alone will set her free.
Shen Yi looked at the young but charming woman in front of him and smiled: "One day in the future, maybe Gu will be able to reach a height that was previously unimaginable."
The height Shen Yi was talking about was giving birth to a son for the emperor.
Gu Hengbo's eyes flashed.
She seemed to have vaguely guessed something, but she opened her mouth and did not dare to say anything.
Shen Yi stretched out his hand and said slowly: "Everyone, could you please give me the key here? I will pass it on to Mr. Li."
Everyone Gu did not speak, but silently glanced at his maid. The maid quickly returned to the house, took out a brass key, and handed it to Shen Yi.
Shen Yi turned around and left.
"Please remember, everyone, I have not been here today, and you have not seen me."
This kind of thing, even if it is done by the emperor, is somewhat embarrassing.
If Gu Hengbo hadn't clamored to see the rightful owner, Shen Yi would not have come here to see her in person.
…………
For a period of time after that, Shen Yi spent most of his time at home recuperating from his injuries. Occasionally, when he felt depressed, he would go to Dayifang to talk to Mr. Gu, play chess, or go to Liquan Tower to read.
Sometimes Junior Sister Lu would come to see him at home, so Shen Yi took Junior Sister Lu to visit the mansion that had been labeled "Shen's Residence".
He quietly told Miss Lu that this place was already his, Shen Ziheng's, property.
Miss Lu didn't say anything on the surface, but she was obviously very concerned. In addition to boiling medicine for Shen Yi, she also bought some pots of flowers from Dongshi Street and placed them in the backyard of Shen's family.
As time passed day by day, Shen Yi's injuries gradually healed.
Originally it was just a dislocation, no bones were injured.
In early June, he took off the white cloth hanging around his neck and went to see Dr. Sun again to make sure there was no root cause of the disease.
The day after Shen Yi's arm healed, the imperial decree was delivered to Shen Yi's home.
The person who came to announce the decree was Sun Jin, an old acquaintance of Shen Yi.
As for the content of the decree, Shen Yi had already heard it from Eunuch Gao, and it was basically the same without any difference.
This made Shen Yi sigh with emotion at the power of the imperial power.
According to the original rules, he, a top 51 Jinshi, had basically no chance of entering the Hanlin Academy. However, the emperor, the maker of the rules, could easily create a set of rules out of thin air and forcibly promote him. Entered the Hanlin Academy.
After announcing the imperial edict, uukanshu.com www.uukanshu.com Eunuch Sun Jin handed the imperial edict to Shen Yi and said with a smile: "Shen Sizheng, from now on we will work together in Di Bao Si, you will be my superior. But you need to take more care of your slave."
Now, it is Eunuch Sun who is in charge of the Di Di newspaper department.
However, the Di Bao Department was under the name of the Ministry of Rites and was a yamen of the outer court. Therefore, Sun Jin did not have the title of Si Zheng and was just a director of the Di Bao Department on behalf of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
The position of Director of the Dijing Newspaper Department was vacant before this.
Shen Yi said a few polite words to him and said with a smile: "I don't understand anything. I need more guidance from Eunuch Sun."
After the two flattered each other a few times, Eunuch Sun left.
After Shen Yi changed into a Jinshi uniform, he also walked towards the palace.
He is going to the palace to report his duties to the emperor, and by the way...
