    The next day, the obituary document was issued, and all civil and military officials came to express their condolences.

    Lu Youzhi died in Nankang, the capital of Qi Taixing in the third year.

    Wen Yu moved out of Shangshu Mansion and declined all visitors.

    Three months later, Wen Yu surrendered.It is already April, and the eyes are full of spring.

    She thought she would be reinstated.

    But the second day after she returned to her residence, an eunuch came to Wen Yu's house in person.Wen Yu heard a lot of what he said, frowned, lowered her head and remained silent.

    The eunuch blinked and blinked, but he didn't wait for Wen Zhen to get up to receive the order.

    The eunuch looked at Wen Zhen and coughed a few times to remind him, but the man seemed to be deaf and did not move.

    The eunuch was a little embarrassed, and finally gave a reminder: "Master Wen, the miscellaneous family has finished reading, and I still can't afford the order."

    Wen Yu pursed her lips, "Thank you, Eunuch."

    Lu Axi next to him understood and handed the eunuch a big purse.

    Only then did the eunuch laugh. He congratulated Wen Yu with a smile on his face, and reminded him a few words: "Master Wen, you will be a sixth-rank living man in the future. After a few days, you will have to live in the palace.God prepares and prepares."

    "Thank you, father-in-law." Wen Yu repeated this sentence again.

    The eunuch returned the salute and left.But in his heart, he was thinking about Wen Yu, this Lord Wen has been promoted from the seventh rank to the sixth rank in Dali Temple, and he is still an official next to the emperor, so he didn't show any joy on his face.

    Could it be that he was too happy to be silly, and that's not right, but this man is still very honest, and the eunuch weighed the money in his hand again, smiling so that his eyes narrowed.

    The extra gain is not small, he will have to buy something to send to the master in a while, it would be even better if he can get a few more pointers.

    Lu Axi closed the door, looked at Wen Yu's expression, and sighed helplessly.

    Lu Axi was originally a servant of Lu Youzhi's house, but unlike ordinary servants, his father was originally Lu Youzhi's housekeeper, and his own life was saved by Lu Youzhi, so he was extremely loyal to Lu Youzhi.

    At that time, Lu Axi was only in his twenties. Later, Master Lu resigned from office, gave his father a large amount of severance pay, and went to their slavery, and disappeared.Lu Axi's family used the money to open a small shop in Capital City. Although it wasn't much, it was enough for the family to eat and drink comfortably in the area of Capital City.

    Lu Youzhi returned to Beijing the year before last, and when Lu Axi heard the news, he closed the shop despite his family's objections, and returned to Lu Youzhi's side again.When he came later, he found out that Master Lu had accepted a disciple, and met Wen Yu.Later, Lord Lu asked him to be a servant to take a good look at Wen Zhen.

    Later, when Lu Youzhi died, Lu Axi followed Wen Yu and continued to be the housekeeper.

    Wen Yu threw the imperial decree on the table casually, tapped the table with her fingers, not knowing what she was thinking.

    Lu Axi stood beside her.

    Wen Yu's complexion remained unchanged, she couldn't tell whether she was angry or not, but her eyes were a little darker, not as bright as before.

    "Uncle Lu, I will enter the palace in a few days, and I have to entrust you with everything at home."

    "Don't worry, I'm watching this house, nothing will happen."

    Lu Axi looked at Wen Yu, the child had also grown up, he was completely different from what he was three months ago.Thinking of the master's expectations for Wen Yu, he sighed in his heart, but the price was too heavy.

    Wen Yu nodded, and then returned to her own room.

    Living man, the emperor's living man, Wen Yu licked his lips, Xie Yu, what exactly did he want to do, Wen Yu thought of what Wu Ju had said to him, and his eyes were sharp.

    She needs to meet Uncle Wu again.

    Wu Mansion, Wu Ju Study Room.

    Song Duan gulped water regardless of his image, his complexion was obviously darker than before.

    "How about Qingchi, this war has been going on for almost a year." Wu Ju looked at him with emotion, "Time flies so fast."

    "However, it is estimated that it will be over soon."

    "Oh, why do you say that?"

    Song Duan poured himself another glass of water and bought a pass, "Why don't you guess, teacher?"

    "Don't be skinny, you kid. I have something to do in a while. Let's make a long story short."

    Song Duan shrugged and said a few words softly.

    Wu Ju's face changed obviously, but after a while, he burst out laughing, "Good! Good!"

    "However, Expanse. You haven't heard from me for so long. If His Majesty didn't talk to me about you from time to time, I would have thought that your kid died somewhere. Alright, don't stand in front of me, just leave when you have nothing to do."

    Wu Ju waved his hand and told Song Duan to go elsewhere.

    Song Duan pretended to be wronged: "teacher, don't you miss me when you come back from such a far away place?"

    Wu Ju said mercilessly, "If it wasn't for you not daring to go to see and hear about Xun, you would have come to my place first."

    Song Duan's expression became silent, and he put down the cup, "Master Lu passed away, and Junior Brother Fu Que has only passed away for a day, maybe he doesn't want to see me."

    When Lu Youzhi was mentioned, the two fell silent at the same time.

    Wu Ju sighed, "Maozhi, I never thought you were such an infatuated person."

    Song Duan raised his eyelids and glanced at Wu Ju, "Teacher, so you know."

    "Your performance is too obvious, Mao Zhi, does Heng Qi know?" Wu Ju was a little helpless when he asked this question, and now he can't see through him as a disciple.

    Song Duan said with a wry smile: "I told her clearly, but the younger brother doesn't like me."

    Wu Ju: "If that's the case, let's let go of this relationship. People who are about to reach their thirties should hurry up and find a girl to marry. Your parents will feel at ease."

    Song Duan sneered, "Teacher, you know what kind of personality I am."

    "Since Heng Qi has already rejected you, then let it go. Maozhi, don't be too persistent. Yin and Yang are in harmony, and it is a positive number after all."

    Song Duan lowered his head and kept silent. He licked his lower lip before he opened his mouth slowly, with an indescribably calm tone, "Teacher, I forgot to ask you just now. Since you know that I miss Heng Qi, why do you want to?"How about letting your granddaughter marry my junior brother?"

    Wu Ju was so angry that his beard flew up, he threw his pen down on the table heavily, "You think I did something wrong!"

    Song Duan said with a cold face: "Students dare not."

    "Don't dare to dare, you have done a lot of things behind my back. Maozhi, do you think I am the only one who sees that it is not normal for you to be nice to Heng Qi? Why did that guy Lu Youzhi let me do it for Wen Yu?The boy is a matchmaker, even if there is no such relationship, since Wen Yu is Lu Youzhi's disciple, I will naturally pay her accordingly."

    "Isn't it because he saw that you kid was uneasy and kind to his precious disciple, so he told me to remind him to guard against you."

    Song Duan: "is the teacher planning to prevent me from being with my junior brother?"

    Wu Ju waved his hand, "This old man is going to be sick from your anger. Song Maozhi, if you two are in love, who cares about you. But I don't think the Wen family boy likes you at all. All right, let's go out.", the old man is annoyed when he sees you now."

    When Song Duan heard his words, he immediately laughed out loud, and the tense atmosphere in the room was instantly swept away. Song Duan accompanied Wu Ju with a smiling face and beat Wu Ju's shoulder: "Teacher, what the students said just now were angry words, youIf you are so magnanimous, just forget about what happened just now. If the younger brother likes me, then teacher, please don't break up our pair of fateful mandarin ducks."

    After Wu Ju heard this, he wanted to pick up the ruler and beat him up. At this moment, the voice of the servant came from outside the door.

    "Master, Mr. Wen is asking to see you. Now he is waiting for you in the main hall, saying that he has something urgent to discuss with you."

    Wu Ju squinted at Song Duan, and the boy froze at the moment, "Okay, you go and bring her here."

    "Maozhi, do you dare to leave as a teacher?"

    Song Duan's frozen body gradually returned to normal at this moment, and the corner of his lips curled into a smile, "Teacher, you are joking. Since it is such a fate, I will naturally not leave."

    When Wen Yu opened the door and came in, she lowered her head and bowed to Wu Ju, but she didn't notice Song Duan standing on the side of the bookshelf.

    "Master, don't take the liberty of interrupting me. The boy came here today, do you want to ask Mr. Teacher about something?"

    Wu Ju glanced at Song Duan lightly, and his face had returned to calm, "Heng Qi, sit down first, there is something that even you can't figure out."

    "Uncle, today the student received the imperial decree written by His Majesty, student," Wen Yu raised his eyelids, was about to sit down, and glanced up inadvertently, why is the senior brother here?

    Song Duan received her gaze, his brows and eyes were full of tenderness, and the corner of his lips smiled, "Junior brother, long time no see."

    Wu Ju clicked his tongue in his heart, thinking that this old man like me doesn't exist?He won't spoil this kid, otherwise he will have to go to heaven, "Heng Qi, ignore him, just keep talking."

    Wen Yu was stunned for a moment, and after a hum, she recovered and continued: "Master, His Majesty decreed today that the student did not return to his post, but became a living man next to His Majesty. The student didn't quite understand His Majesty's words."That’s why I’m here to ask Master Uncle what he thinks.”

    Wu Ju stroked his beard, pondered Wen Yu's words, and said in a long voice, "Liang Qi, he is a sixth-rank official, but it's not easy to be an official."

    Although the living man was at the side of the emperor, the task of this official position was to record the words and deeds of the emperor.

    No matter big or small, good or bad deeds, all should be recorded and written as "Daily Notes" for future generations to compile history.And according to the historical rules, the emperor cannot ask about the content of the "Daily Note".However, it is inevitable that some emperors are afraid of disgraceful things being recorded, so generally speaking, emperors are worried about "daily life notes".

    Going back to the previous dynasties, it is not a good job to be a housekeeper. It is better to meet an enlightened emperor, but if you meet a fatuous and cruel emperor, the end will not be very good.

    But today's His Majesty is not a cruel and fatuous emperor, so Wen Yu is naturally not worried about this matter, but she doesn't know that His Majesty's behavior is because the two have known each other for a long time.

    Wen Yu cupped his hands and said: "Master Uncle, you told me years ago that His Majesty is very strategic, but the students really don't know why His Majesty is doing this."

    Wu Ju glanced at Wen Yu when he heard this, but he didn't expect the child to remember it.

    Before Wu Ju could speak, Song Duan interrupted, "Junior Brother, we can't guess what His Majesty is thinking in a short while. However, you may not need to worry too much. The teacher may not know, but Your Majesty appreciates you very much."

    The two people who didn't speak looked at Song Duan at the same time.

    Wen Yu bit her lower lip and frowned, she was a little surprised but still asked tentatively: "Brother, how did you know that His Majesty appreciates me very much, I have never seen His Majesty these days except for the palace exam.”

    Song Duan: "I don't know too well. Last winter, I was called into the palace late at night by His Majesty, and he ordered me to go to Qingchi Mansion. From that day on, I knew that His Majesty might have high hopes for you.That's why I dare-"

    Only then did I dare to write a letter to ask His Majesty to transfer you back to Beijing.

    "Brother, I didn't hear what you said later." Wen Yu said a little embarrassedly.

    Song Duan shook his head, his expression changed for a moment, but who knew that Yan Duan from Dali Temple would rob him halfway.Heh, the names are the same, so they really don't get along, Song Duan sneered when he thought of Yan Duan's image like a fat pig.

    However, he didn't believe that this was Yan Duan's own intention. If Yuan Zhan hadn't been behind the scenes, he would have been in vain for so many years.

    The three of them chatted on this topic for a while, Wen Yu thought it was still early, and was about to leave, but unexpectedly, when he walked out of the house, it was already dusk.

    Song Duan laughed and said, "Teacher, then I'll go see off my junior brother."

    Wu Ju glanced at him impatiently, but ignored him.

    "Junior brother, let's go, I'll take you back." Song Duan caught up with Wen Yu, looked at her profile in the setting sun, and the corners of his lips raised unconsciously.
