Every morning, there are always many horseshoes kicking and whizzing past on the road.Wen Yu is naturally used to hearing the neighing and panting of horses on the street.

However, today is not the morning court, unlike in the past when people are still sparse, only a few sporadic walking on this street.

Wen Yu was walking on the road on the right side, only felt that the sound of the horse's hooves kicking the ground was too violent, but when she realized something was wrong and turned around to look back, there was no way to avoid it.

People are so wonderful sometimes. When in a critical situation, the secretion of adrenaline will accelerate, and a mother can lift a car weighing a thousand catties empty-handed in order to save her children.

But when this kind of accident really happened, she obviously wanted to move but was unable to move, Wen Yu's heart was pounding, but her body was as stiff as a dead body.Can't move a single finger.

Wen Yu noticed that Yuan Zhan on Zaohong's horse was an unavoidable critical moment.Suddenly, she felt dizzy and dizzy.

Yuan Zhan pulled the reins, kicked the horse under him vigorously, swooped forward, and hugged Wen Yu into his arms. The two hugged each other tightly and rolled several times on the ground.

The red-eyed Crazy Horse, who had lost its direction, slammed into the solid wall. His head was bleeding and he fell to the ground.The eye sockets are full, but they have not been closed, but the limbs are still on the ground, writhing and kicking in the air, but without any point of support, so they have never been able to stand up.

Yuan Zhan's purple official uniform was scratched with several big holes, his arms and cheeks were scratched by fine and hard stones on the road, the official uniform was covered with dust, and he looked extremely embarrassed.

The beads on the wrist were also scattered all over the place.

On the other hand, Wen Yu in his arms did not see any wounds on his body, even the green official uniform was only stained on the back and a corner of the hem of the clothes, and it would be as clean as new after a little wiping.

Here it is again, his head throbbing with pain, Yuan Zhan gritted his teeth, not allowing himself to make any cowardly groans. This kind of pain is different from the severe pain of the head being pierced.People are hot and irrational, making him feel chaotic and painful.

He was full of tyrannical emotions that wanted to vent and destroy everything.And this throbbing pain deep in the brain, this irritability and restlessness pain has been going on for years.

There is no cure.

If Sandalwood hadn't been able to clear his mind and concentrate his mind, he didn't know how long he could endure it.But the person in my arms was born for him.

Wen Yu was lying in Yuan Zhan's arms in a trance at the moment, her chest was heaving violently, and her shoulder blades were twitching violently.

Yuan Zhan felt tingling pain all over his body, but his expression showed a strange look of joy. His hands gradually tightened and hugged Wen Yu, pressing her tightly against his body, feeling the body temperature of the person in his arms, and his mood gradually increased.clam down.

Really long time no see.

Wen Yu had some difficulty breathing while being bound, her eyelids twitched a few times, and her mind gradually cleared up.She couldn't break free from Yuan Zhan, so she could only shout in his ear: "Yuan Zhan, Yuan Wenxuan, Master Yuan!"

A crisp but trembling voice rang in his ears, but Yuan Zhan ignored it, buried his head between Wen Yu's neck infatuatedly and addictedly, his thin lips seemed to lightly touch the tender skin of the person in his arms, arousedShe shuddered.

After a while, Yuan Zhan relaxed his body and loosened the restraint on Wen Yu, and the violent look in his eyes gradually disappeared.

A Buddhist bead rolled to Yuan Zhan's hand, his brows were tightly frowned, his expression was a little painful, his body curled up slightly, his expression showed a trace of fragility just right, his face was clearly in a state of embarrassment, but he didn't lose the slightest bit of handsomeness, it was heartbreaking to watch.

The crazy animal seemed to be tired at the moment, lying in the corner of the wall, except for the occasional twitch of its hind legs, there was no other movement.

"Master Yuan, are you alright? I don't feel well, can you still stand up?" Wen Yu asked in a panic.

Yuan Zhan: "Are you okay?"

"I'm fine, you saved me, I'm not hurt at all. Thank you so much."

Wen Yu lifted him up carefully, feeling even more guilty in her heart. She was struggling in this man's arms just now, and she didn't know that Yuan Zhan was injured so seriously, and she didn't know whether that action aggravated his injury.

Yuan Zhan's right arm was supported by Wen Yu, and his left hand was propped on the ground struggling to stand up, but the moment he straightened up, he staggered. don't know if it was a coincidence or on purpose. One of his arms wrapped around Wen Yu's waist, and the otherOn Wen Yu's shoulders.

From an outsider's perspective, the two seem to be embracing each other.

Yuan Zhan let out a wry smile, and the sword eyebrows that flew into his temples were also carrying a few strands of melancholy at this moment.

His voice was weak, and he murmured: "Maybe I hurt my leg, Wen Yu, I feel a little uncomfortable."

The guilt and uneasiness in Wen Yu's eyes became even worse, "Master Yuan, I'll help you, let's go find the doctor."

Yuan Zhan was half a head taller than Wen Yu, with slender and powerful arms. He rested on Wen Yu's shoulders, his arms wrapped around her shoulders, and half of his body was pressed against her.

Touching Wen Yu's shoulder and neck with his arm, Yuan Zhan couldn't help but let out a comfortable sigh as he felt the faint fragrance of her body.

Wen Yu mistook him for moaning because of the pain, so she took the initiative to get closer to him, gritting her teeth to share more weight of Yuan Zhan's body.They were almost stuck together, and the distance between the two became closer.

It was so close that Yuan Zhan could touch the ends of her hair just by lowering his chin slightly, and he was so close that he could smell her body fragrance just by sniffing lightly.

Since he became an official, he has never had such a pleasant moment. Yuan Zhan stared at Wen Yu almost obsessively. He didn't care whether this person was a man or a woman, but he must stay by his side, and he must not be like him.possible.

There was a cold smile in Yuan Zhan's eyes. He really wanted to thank his two stupid and short-sighted brothers. If not, how could he have found such a good excuse and reason to get close to Wen Yu.

A grown man was pressing on her, even though she was much stronger than the average person, Wen Yu still walked with difficulty.

She said: "Master Yuan, this horse seems to be a little strange to me, maybe it has been stimulated by something."

Yuan Zhan restrained his expression, and said with a forced smile: "It's okay, this horse suddenly went crazy on the road for some reason, and it won't listen to me anymore. This matter is not caused by you, the responsibility is all on me, Wen Yu, you don't have to be so sorry.”

His voice was full of confusion, he was obviously smiling, but he could tell that the man was crying inside, as if he had been wronged by the heavens but could not speak.

Wen Yu pursed her lips, not knowing how to answer.

Although the names of the officials in Capital City were not the same, she knew a little about the names of these high officials, and she knew a thing or two about their wives and children.Capital City can't hide secrets, gossip, gossip.

Someone said it once, and it was firmly imprinted in her mind.Yuan Zhan's father is a second-rank official of the imperial court, Yuan Jingchang, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, and his mother is Yuan Jingchang's official wife, who has a son and a daughter. The daughter Yuan Ruoyue, Biyu Nianhua, is only sixteen years old and will be sent to the palace soon.It is one of the popular candidates for the current queen.

But the Yuan Mansion was far more than these two children. Yuan Jingchang also took in two other concubines, one of whom gave birth to the eldest son of the Yuan Mansion, and the other gave birth to the third son of the Yuan Mansion.It was supposed to be supported by the brothers, but the situation of the Yuan family seemed to be a little more complicated.

Wen Yu guessed wildly because of Yuan Zhan's words, but he couldn't talk about other people's family background, so he asked, "Then what should you do with your horse?"

Yuan Zhan's face was pale: "No problem, I will send someone to clean up here. It was just my carelessness today."

He froze for a moment, then said again: "Call me Brother Wenxuan."

Wen Yu thought of last winter, and this person said the same thing, but he didn't expect him to remember it."Brother Wenzhen, you don't have to be brave, just lean on me."

The smile on the corner of Yuan Zhan's lips flashed and was immediately covered by a weak expression, of course he would not force it.

The sky was already white, the early morning sun shone on the ground, and the number of people walking to and fro on the street gradually increased.

In the eyes of his political opponents, Yuan Zhan's miserable state of distress is naturally a joke, and it will soon spread throughout the court.But at the moment he has no time to care about these things, after all——

A sharp-eyed Dali Temple official saw Yuan Zhan and trotted towards him.

"My lord, what happened to you, the officer will take you to the hospital right now."

The person glanced at what Wen Yu was wearing. The blue official uniform was printed with small miscellaneous patterns, the belt was a silver 钑 flower belt with a dove, and the patch on the front chest of the official uniform was a 鶒 (xīchi).

This is a seventh-rank official, lower than himself, so he put on a casual look, bowed his hands to Wen Yu and said: "This colleague, I have troubled you just now, let me help Mr. Yuan."

After finishing speaking, Wang Hezhen, the active official of the Zuo Temple of the sixth-rank Dali Temple, came to Yuan Zhan's right side and supported him: "Master Yuan, forgive me, I offended you."

Wen Yu suddenly felt a sense of relief, and bowed slightly to the sixth-rank official and bowed her hands in return: "Thank you for your help."

Oh, Yuan Zhan sneered in his heart.

Wang Hezhen only felt a chill under his body, and he shivered.

Yuan Zhan suppressed the irritability and impatience in his heart, and said to Wen Yu under Wang Hezhen's shocked eyes: "You go to the Imperial Academy first, and you don't have to follow me. After all, if you are late, you won't be left behind by those scholars of the Imperial Academy."good impression."

Yuan Zhan's voice and expression were like Wang Hezhen's, which he had never heard or seen before. They were all elites in the officialdom.Was it a little arrogant, did he screw up something.

Just when Wang Hezhen was beating his chest and feet.

Yuan Zhan comforted Wen Yu again: "I'm fine. If you're really worried, you can come to the mansion to see me when you take a rest tomorrow."

After finishing speaking, he untied the jade pendant from his waist and handed it to Wen Yu.

When Wen Yu arrived at the Imperial Academy's office, it was earlier than usual for a cup of tea in the evening, but fortunately she always left quite early, no more than six o'clock.

The layout of the Imperial Academy's office is not very big. The four-square, simple courtyard with red bricks and green tiles just looks more textured and more advanced.

Before entering the government office, every official needs to pass through the porter, which is where they clock in for work.That's right, even in ancient times, officials had attendance checks.There is such a sentence in the "Book of Songs: Chicken Crowing" in the Western Zhou Dynasty: As soon as the rooster crows, the court is full.As early as when the cock crows, the officials will get up and go to court.

In modern society, what is deducted for being late is nothing more than performance pay.But in Daqi, if you are late or absent for the roll call, it is a trivial matter to fine your salary, and what’s more, you will be beaten or even imprisoned.

There are regulations in "Qi Lv Shu Yi": 20 boards for one day of absence, plus one class for three days, and a penalty of one month's salary; 100 boards for 25 days; if 35 days, directlyOne year in prison.And this regulation is aimed at all officials, regardless of their official rank.

Wen Yu signed her name at the gatehouse and entered the office of Shujishi, but there were still a few people who did not show up.

The concubines of the Imperial Academy just returned from various places a few days ago, and tomorrow will be off for a bath, so they have not been assigned to teach yet.

The teaching system is Daqi's training system for Shujishi who entered the Imperial Academy.

The emperor attached great importance to this.Therefore, most of the officials appointed by the Imperial Academy for teaching and learning appointments were high-ranking officials from the Imperial Academy, Zhan Shifu, Officials, and Rites.

Moreover, in the Qi Dynasty, officials attached great importance to fellowship and the relationship between disciples.It is very important that Shujishi, as the disciple of teaching, is not only conducive to the combination of interests between the two, but also facilitates the promotion of Shujishi in the future.

Yu Xiuyue walked up to Wen Yu and motioned for her to go out and talk.

He stretched out his hand, plucked a miscellaneous leaf from the back of Wen Yu's skirt, and asked with concern: "Xiao Yu, you came here today better than in previous nights, and why is there so much dust on your back?Wrestling on the road will fail."

Wen Yu loosened her shoulders, feeling a little helpless about her bad luck: "Shu Si, when you're unlucky, drinking water will fill the gap the between teeth, but luckily I didn't get hurt."

She briefly talked about the situation this morning, but in order not to cause any misunderstanding, Wen Yu still concealed Yuan Zhan's name, although she knew that this matter would soon spread throughout the court.

While listening to Wen Yu's words, Yu Xiuyue suddenly put his hand on Wen Yu's shoulder to fix her body, and wiped the dust off her official uniform with the other hand.

Wen Yu felt the heavy pressure on his shoulders, and immediately took a step forward. Thinking of Yu Xiuyue's hideous character, he had to understand his actions.

Yu Xiuyue has always been a pure-hearted person. He obviously looks wild and fierce, and he was born in a sandy and dusty place in Xidan. don't know how he developed this habit.

Wen Yu knew that this remark would not hurt the friendship between the two of them, so she said directly and neatly: "Shu Si, if you don't like the mess on my body, just tell me, don't make any sudden moves, just like you, I am too.I don't like physical contact with people."

Yu Xiuyue retracted his hands that were floating in the air, and said with a straight face, "I'm the one who offended you, but I really can't see how dirty you are."

Wen Yu pursed her lips and muttered in a low voice: "Special circumstances, special treatment, and I can't see my back."

Seeing her appearance, the guy with wheat complexion smiled happily, pointed to the corner of her clothes, and said, "Here, there is still some dust there, you can pat it yourself."

Seeing Wen Yu's movement of patting and wiping, his smile deepened.

Yu Xiuyue said again: "You have an appointment for a rest tomorrow. Little Yu, didn't you say that you like fishing, I heard from my neighbor that there is a river in the suburbs of the city, and the fish are plentiful and plump. Tomorrow afternoon, why not make an appointment there."

Wen Zhen thought of Yuan Zhan's injury, and went to Yuan Manor to visit Yuan Wenxuan tomorrow morning, and had nothing else to do in the afternoon, so there was not much conflict.

She nodded: "Okay, then I'll go—"

Yu Xiuyue: "I'm going to find you, just to visit your new home."

The next day, early morning.

After washing up, Wen Yu went out to do some shopping.

After buying the visiting gifts, she came to the Yuan Mansion in the southeast of the inner city.

The sunlight at this time was not so dazzling, but on the eaves of the Yuan Mansion, the bronze eagle shone brightly.
