Chapter 44(1/2)
Heng Yu was still trapping Fang Hao in the Marquis of Wuwei, and suddenly someone from below came to report to them that Xu Fei sent someone to pick Heng Yu up.
Fang Hao hoped that Heng Yu would go back quickly. In the past few months, Fang Hao had already deeply understood Heng Yu's nature.
Every time Hengyu came to Fang's mansion to cheat him, he would occasionally leave his treasures in his study. If it weren't for Hengyu's letters, calligraphy and paintings, and Xu Yu spoiled this younger brother very much, Fang Hao felt that he would beat up the kid.
Heng Yu nodded and followed the servant. Fang Hao looked at his back and breathed a sigh of relief.
But Heng Yu had just stepped out of the door with his left foot, and suddenly turned around and smiled brightly at Fang Hao, "Brother Fang Hao, I'll come over when my second sister writes you next time."
Fang Hao: "..."
Should he expect Heng Yu to come or not?
When Heng Yu returned to Xu's mansion, he went directly to the study to meet Xu Fei.
Xu Fei was lying in front of the desk to copy the poems and essays. He heard the movement and put down his pen. There was a basin of water in the corner of the study. Xu Fei cleaned his hands with the water. Heng Yu on the side was very good at looking at the eyes, and handed Xu Fei the clean handkerchief on the shelf to him for him to wipe it dry.
Xu Fei wiped his hands dry in a few seconds, handed the handkerchief to Hengyu for him to put it in place, and then returned to his seat. He tapped the table with his right index finger, and asked without discerning his emotions: "What's wrong with your pen pal? Tell me honestly."
Heng Yu had something to say about this matter, but he was not at all reserved. He sat opposite Xu Fei and poured himself a cup of tea, and then diligently filled Xu Fei's tea cup.
Xu Fei picked up the teacup and took a sip of water, waiting for Heng Yu's answer.
"Brother Beauty is very nice to me..."
Heng Yu's words had just begun, and before Xu Fei could swallow the tea in his mouth, he choked himself on the spot.
He coughed twice before looking at Heng Yu with a bad expression, "What do you call that guy?"
Heng Yu looked pure and obediently and repeated: "Brother Beauty."
Xu Fei's forehead leaped violently, and finally knew how this kid had interacted with the emperor peers. Compared to "Uncle Beauty", who doesn't like the title "Brother Beauty".
I used to worry that this kid would become addicted to beauty when he grew up, but now Xu Fei suddenly realized that liking beauty has become a good thing for this kid, otherwise how could he contact His Majesty!

But Xu Fei knew his son, so he glanced at Heng Yu sideways and snorted coldly: "Tell me honestly, have you seen that the identity of that person is not simple?"
Even if that person was in a private visit, his demeanor could not be covered, and the clothing materials and jade pendants he wore were definitely not ordinary.
I don’t know how Heng Yu’s vision was cultivated. Anyway, he had never missed good things since he was a child. He didn’t believe Heng Yu couldn’t see the good things on that person.
And I heard that Heng Yu met that person in Wuwei Marquis' Mansion. Those who could appear in Wuwei Marquis' Mansion and be treated as a guest of honor by Wuwei Marquis' Marquis' can count them clearly by counting them.
Heng Yu nodded and added: "I asked the beauty brother if he is your boss, and he nodded. My father is so wise and powerful, and he has only become the third-rank minister of the Ministry of Rites. The beauty brother is younger than you but is your boss. There are eunuchs in his entourage, so I guess which prince he must be."
When Xu Fei heard Heng Yu praise him like this, he felt that he liked this son a lot.
Xu Fei had never introduced the situation of the court to Hengyu. It was normal for Hengyu to guess who was a royal relative and did not know his specific identity. However, he always felt that there was something strange, "Why do you ask if that person is my boss?"
What bad idea is this kid making?
Heng Yu smiled innocently, "I'm trying to help you show your good feelings in front of your boss!" His father didn't think about whether the position of the right assistant minister of the Third Rating Department of Rites was so good. He gave Xu Fei a lot of presence in front of Zhao Xin during that time.
Although Heng Yu felt that Xu Fei would not be grateful to him when he finally learned the truth, but he would also be very likely to beat him up.
Xu Fei looked at Heng Yu suspiciously again, always feeling that this kid was uneasy, but Xu Fei didn't notice anything abnormal on the surface, so he put this aside first. He had more important things to do at the moment.
He did not lay the groundwork and told Hengyu directly what he was reading, "Today I will meet the saint and learn that Your Majesty and the Queen are interested in order for you to accompany the fifth prince."
Heng Yu lowered his head and took a sip of tea, held a teacup and faced his father with big eyes. He looked not surprised at all, and showed his eight teeth very friendly and smiled at Xu Fei with a brilliant smile.
Xu Fei frowned, "Do you know?"
Heng Yu put down the cup and shook his head suddenly, "I don't know anything."
Hey! Xu Fei was completely relieved, and Zihengyu's face, which had been stern after entering the study, also had a little smile on her face.
"Then I'll feel relieved. Your Majesty asked you to go to the palace to attend the fifth prince after Mid-Autumn Festival, but I guess the Queen should summon you before this. The palace is very rules, so you must be careful when you enter the palace. During this period, I will find someone to teach you the rules in the palace."
Heng Yu was so calm after knowing that he wanted to be a companion for the fifth prince to read the news, which only means that he had guessed that such a thing had happened long ago.
This kid dares to say that he guessed that he was the "prince". He clearly guessed the true identity of that person, but he has not shown it. He also tried to seize the opportunity to get along with that person, and he was favored by that person at a young age.
His son is much better than him.
Since Heng Yu understood in his heart that Xu Fei had no need to say a lot of things that he had originally wanted to say, and was about to wave his hand to let Heng Yu leave, he suddenly remembered another thing, "Our Xu family is a scholarly family and has been promoted to the imperial examination. Don't think that you don't have to study hard when you become a prince's companion. You are different from those children of powerful families. You will still have to be the imperial examination in the future. With the status of a Jinshi, you will not be able to say that you are lucky to enter in the future."
He looked at Heng Yu and sighed softly.
If Hengyu had a reputation as "happy" and how good would the Xu family be?
The Xu family is Qingliu, and those who are lucky enough to enter are usually children from powerful families. If Heng Yuzhen is considered to be "lucky enough to enter", the Xu family will definitely not have a foothold in Qingliu circle at that time. The families who have been friends with before will be ashamed to be with the Xu family.
The Xu family was not considered powerful and in the end they could only be rejected by Qingliu and the powerful circle.
Heng Yu naturally saw through what Xu Fei could see through. He didn't say anything, but just nodded solemnly.
After Heng Yu left the study, he went back to the inner courtyard to find Xu Yu.
The sun gradually sets, and only some powerless afterglow is left hanging in the horizon, which makes the horizon look red. Xu Yu wore a light pink long skirt today, and half of his body was dyed red by the afterglow, and was sitting in the pavilion where he was enjoying the cool air.
Heng Yu stood aside and waited for Xu Yu to finish stroking a song before stepping forward, and handed Xu Yu the letter written by Fang Hao to Xu Yu.
The two did not hide the matter of private affairs from both sides. Xu Yu and Fang Hao's marriage is approaching, and the elders of both sides are happy to see the success of the two young couples' relationship, so they have always accused Hengyu of helping them send messages.
Xu Yu took the letter and kept it carefully, and was not in a hurry to open it. She took Heng Yu's hand, pulled him to the stone bench and sat down, and asked with a smile: "Is Yu'er willing to play the piano for her second sister?"
Xu Yu has been with Heng Yu for the longest time. At the beginning, she was teaching Heng Yu to read and write. Since she came to the capital, Xu Yu was teaching Heng Yu to play the piano.
Even if a person's true level is deliberately concealed, his skills are hard to hide from the masters here. Xu Yu is good at piano and has excellent piano skills. She has excellent talent in this regard, but after teaching Hengyu, she found that Hengyu is almost at one point.
A great wisdom will hurt.
Therefore, Xu Yu has never disclosed the fact that Heng Yuqin is very good. Even Xu Yu from Song Zijin has not disclosed much, but he often plays Heng Yu to practice the piano in his spare time.
In this way, even if someone is surprised that Heng Yu is so good at a young age, he can explain that he often practices playing the piano at home.
Heng Yu nodded and picked up the song that Xu Yu had taught him to play.
The sound of the piano is long and joyful, and it sounds in the yard that is gradually dyed with autumn.
Time flipped by little by little. On August 10, Xu Yu got married and married into the Fang family's wife.
It was not long after that, the Mid-Autumn Festival was coming.
On the Mid-Autumn Festival, there is a Mid-Autumn Festival banquet in the palace, and officials above the fourth rank must go to the palace to attend the banquet.
Before this, Zhao Xin had sent someone to Xu Fei to take Heng Yu to the palace for a banquet on the Mid-Autumn Festival.
Song Zijin had already prepared the clothes for Heng Yu to wear at the banquet. She would not lose etiquette or look too dull, and the colors were selected just right.
On the Mid-Autumn Festival, Heng Yu was pulled up early in the morning to prepare for the banquet at noon. When Xu Fei came back from the morning court, he took Heng Yu to the palace in a carriage for a while.
Heng Yu was sitting in the carriage, and his spirits were still a little depressed. He was still young before and had always had the habit of taking a nap. Now he suddenly changed his routine and felt a little sleepy for a moment.
At this time, the shock-proof performance of the carriage was already very good, and the main road in Beijing was extremely flat. The carriage ran through the bluestone road on this ground, which was very stable.
Heng Yu leaned against the carriage, drooping his head and drooping.
Xu Fei has always been dumbfounded, but his son is a casual person. Seeing him drowsy and feeling a little sad and a little overwhelmed, he bent his index finger and knocked on Hengyu's forehead, "I'm going to enter the palace. At that time, the Empress will summon you. I will teach you how to learn before, and don't lose your manners in the palace, so as not to laugh at others. Then you don't feel embarrassed, I'm embarrassed for you."
Heng Yu reached out and covered her forehead without even opening her eyes, muttering in a low voice, "Don't worry, when did I drag you over?"
Haven't you had a chance to drag me down yet? If you really give you a chance, who knows what will happen?
However, seeing Heng Yu so sleepy, Xu Fei didn't say much. He leaned on the carriage to make up for his sleep, and he closed his eyes and calmed down.
It makes sense that the ministers who attended the banquet came to the banquet in the afternoon. The carriage could not move as soon as it turned into Xuanwu Road. The spacious avenue was blocked for a while. The carriage arrived later could only wait quietly for the carriage in front to be searched and then moved after entering the palace.
In the late years of the previous dynasty, although the court was about to be exhausted, the fuse that really caused the heroes to rise up was when the last emperor held a banquet, an assassin hid under the carriage of the minister and smuggled into the palace. In the end, the last emperor was stabbed to death by a sword, leaving only a seven-year-old prince. The previous dynasty was really powerless to turn the world back. So now when the Emperor of the Zhao family held a palace banquet, he would increase his efforts in searching to avoid any people with ill-hearted incest.
Although Zhao Xin thought he was a good emperor, no one was sure that there would be no accidents. Therefore, a large number of guards were sent out every palace banquet to be responsible for the safety of the palace banquet that day.
Heng Yu slept a little and became more energetic. He sat in the carriage, lifted up the curtain and looked outside. Wherever he saw it, he put the curtain down again bored.
The two of them had nothing to do in the carriage. Judging from the current situation, it would be considered as if they could enter the palace within two hours.
Fortunately, Heng Yu was prepared for it, so he took out his new Sudoku questions and crossword puzzles, and called Xu Fei to play together.
"Can you calm down?" Now that he has arrived in front of the palace gate, is his son not nervous at all. Xu Fei feels that he can't be compared by his son, so he tries to keep his face calm and calm.
Heng Yu glanced at Xu Fei and did not expose his father with kindness, for fear that his father would be angry and want to beat him up.
"Dad, do you play or not? If you don't play, I'll play by myself."
Xu Fei didn't say anything, and leaned directly towards Hengyu and answered with practical actions.
The crossword game is new. Heng Yu first introduced the game to Xu Fei. After Xu Fei understood it, he nodded and started to write it down, asking Heng Yu to honestly explain, "Is this what you guys have done again?"
Heng Yu shook her head decisively, "Can't you recognize the handwriting of your second sister? This is the topic she has posted."
Well, the handwriting on this topic is indeed from Xu Yu, but Xu Fei looked at Heng Yu and always felt that this game was inseparable from Heng Yu.
In fact, this game was really what Xu Yu thought about. She got inspired from Sudoku and discussed it with Heng Yu - since she could fill in the numbers, why not change the text of another game to fill in the text.
It is indeed impossible to underestimate the ancients. Heng Yu sighed at Xu Yu's understanding, but also improved the game ideas she proposed for Xu Yu according to the perspective of later generations.
This crossword game was already thought of before Xu Yu got married, but she mostly embroidered her wedding dress in her spare time. She was busy integrating into the Fang family one or two days after the marriage. She didn't start to draw the question until yesterday. When she got the question, she copied it three times, one was left at Fang family for Fang Hao to play with, and two times were brought back to Xu's house for Hengyu and Song Zijin.
Heng Yu was only obtained yesterday, and it happened to come in handy today.
The father and son got together to play crossword games. The previous question was not difficult, and Heng Yu didn't take much action. He asked Xu Fei to do it himself. Later, the difficulty level came to the point where the father and son cooperated together.
