Chapter 13

Can he cry?
Shen Hua said that he really wanted to cry.

The Shen family didn't give him much property in the first place, most of it was private money saved by themselves, just to see His Majesty is happy, he just risked his life to accompany the gentleman.

God knows, he lost from beginning to end with tears in his eyes.

Tianxiu cast a sympathetic look at him, the bad luck is too heavy, and the outbreak is even more against the sky than Si Zhuo's European spirit.

Si Zhuo also lost a few times, but they all won back.

But he never won a game!

Shen Hua still had a calm smile on his face, but there was a trace of grievance in his eyes, which was caught by Si Zhuo.

Shen Ganfan, seemingly poor jingle.

Feeling the resentment of the three poker players around, Si Zhuo coldly pushed the gold leaf in front of her to the middle, "For the sake of playing with you, I reward you, let's share it."

"Oh yeah! Thank you, Your Majesty! Your Majesty is the best!"

Xiao Xiao's weeping face instantly smiled, and the face changed so quickly that Si Zhuo once wondered if she was fake crying.

"Lunch." Si Zhuo stood up, glanced at Xiao Xiao who was smiling like money was out of his eyes, with a cool tone.

I am hungry.

"Yeah! Immediately!" Xiao Xiao divided the pile of gold leaves into thirds with extremely fast hands, and then put his own portion into a small purse.

Happy, there is the share that Si Zhuo took out in the golden leaf, and they earned the three shares equally.

Seeing that she was busy packing the gold leaves, Shen Hua seemed to be carried away with joy, he spoke casually, and didn't even look at the Empress.

Si Zhuo was not at all displeased with Xiao Xiao's rudeness, and even thought she was cute like this, so she couldn't help but stretch out her hand and pat her head dotingly.

"My imperial chef is really a little money fan."

He suddenly discovered that the Empress was not as high and high as he thought, she was obviously very easy-going and smoky.

"Hey! Your imperial chef will cook for you right away!"

Xiao Xiao tidied up, saluted Si Zhuofu casually, and ran away cheerfully, her laughter filled the cold palace with a bit of anger.

Eunuch An saw that she was indifferent, and said it a few times but it was useless, and His Majesty didn't care, so he didn't say anything.

Seeing His Majesty's gentle expression, he liked Xiao Xiao even more in his heart.

This little girl is really a happy fruit, all kinds of weird gadgets emerge in endlessly, when she is around, the smile on His Majesty's face will be a little bit more.

Eunuch An was packing up the pieces of wood, Si Zhuo thought it would be a while before the meal was ready, so he went to the imperial study.

"You follow."

Shen Hua was stunned for a moment, then realized that Si Zhuo's words were for himself, and quickly followed her pace.

After the beating in the early court, the civil and military officials became much more serious about writing memorials. After all, it was too shameful to pick up their own memorials one by one.

Seeing that nearly two-thirds of the workload on the case was reduced, Si Zhuo was very satisfied.

Zhu Zhu's writing is not so sharp anymore, and he doesn't always scold them for their corpses and vegetarian meals, and wine bags and rice bags.

Shen Hua rubbed the ink quietly for him.

The meditation cigarette in the incense burner curls up, mixing with the fragrance of ink.

In the soft sunlight in the hall, the sound of rubbing paper is like spring eating leaves.

The way she looked through the memorial attentively was a bit quiet, making people seem to be frozen in such a picture forever.

Sensing what he was thinking, Shen Hua's heart trembled.

He looked away in a panic, his ink-grinding hand trembled slightly, and his fingertips were stained with ink.

"What's wrong with you?" Si Zhuo noticed a slight abnormality in him, and looked away from the memorial, and landed on him.

Shen Hua hurriedly avoided her gaze, his voice could not hide his anxiety, "No, it's nothing, I disturbed His Majesty..."

Si Zhuo was still about to ask more questions, but he heard a notification from outside the door.

"Your Majesty, Yu Shaoyou, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, is seeking an audience with Captain Yunling."

"Xuan." After Si Zhuo finished approving the memorial in his hand, he turned his eyes to the door of the imperial study.

After Yu Shaoyou and Yun Ling entered the door, they were surprised to see Shen Hua, but they did not lose their minds for too long, and quickly saluted respectfully, "See Your Majesty, Young Envoy Shen."

What the two said was still related to the spring drought.

Yu Shaoyou's proposal to build water conservancy was approved, and the funds were settled as one son after another was "sold" out.

But how to repair it, the route of the canal and so on are all undecided.

"Your Majesty, this matter is of great importance. Once the construction is started, it will have a great impact on the north. I think it will be a field investigation before digging."

Digging a river cannot be completed in a short period of time. Don't even think about it this year, it will usually take several years.

But after digging, the spring drought in the north can be eradicated, and the benefits will be endless.

"Yu Qing wants to go?" Si Zhuo seemed to be aware of his purpose.

Yu Shaoyou clasped his hands and asked, "Yes, Your Majesty, please agree."

"What about you?" Si Zhuo looked at Yunling.

"The road to the Huanhe River is relatively far away, and there are many bandits in the mountains. Minister Yu may die if he goes alone. I want to escort Minister Yu and pay off the bandits at the same time."

Yunling bowed his hands, dressed in a black outfit, his stature still looks youthful, but he also has the shadow of his father, General Yun.

"Precise play."

The two people's request was not out of the ordinary, and Si Zhuo responded readily.

Just love this proactive workforce.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" the two said in unison.

"If you have nothing else to do, leave." Si Zhuo waved his hands, and saw his royal chef waiting at the gate of the palace.

Alas, seeing her makes me hungry.

After Yu Shaoyou and Yun Ling left, Shen Hua lowered his eyes slightly, suppressing the traces of envy in his eyes, envious of Yu Shaoyou and Yun Ling's participation in state affairs.

Young people in their prime, who doesn't have blood, who doesn't have ambition, who doesn't want to display their talents?

But his official career was cut off the day he entered the palace.

It can even be said that it was cut off from the moment Mrs. Shen burned his books and prevented him from going to school.

He never gave up, saved money to buy books, pens and ink, and even stole and copied the textbooks of the son of Shen's family. He was caught countless times and was beaten and scolded for "dirty hands and feet".

But he didn't give up.

He always had a glimmer of hope, hoping to get ahead through the imperial examination, and through his own efforts, those who bullied him would be punished.

He also had the great righteousness inspired by loyal ministers and good generals in his chest, and he also saw his family, country and world when he was emotional.

But all of this was strangled by his own father.

"Don't have unrealistic dreams, I won't let you become an official, it will hinder my eyes and pollute the entire court."

When he went to take the imperial examination for the first time, Shen's father said this. He was the invigilator at that time, and his official career without mathematics was within his mind.

When the young Shen Hua looked at him, it was as if he saw a mountain blocking his future path.

How could there be such a father in the world?
It is better to kill him directly.

Shen Hua thought in despair countless times.

Countless desperation chilled the young man's blood, leaving only hatred and unwillingness to swell in a dark corner.

Si Zhuo sensed the repressed emotions on his body, walked up to him, gently raised his chin with fingertips, and looked into his eyes that still had resentment.

"What are you thinking?"

 Don't get me wrong, I don't, neither do they, there is nothing between Yu Shaoyou and Yunling, it's just socialist brotherhood, really! ! !
  Yaojing actually wants to add updates and share the joy of sand sculpture with you.

  But, you don't follow up, don't vote, don't comment, you are like zombies, woo woo woo, this makes me feel like I am alone.

  Hmph, sad, unhappy, no more.
