Chapter 45

Halfway through the dinner, the people from the Office of the Interior lit various lanterns with ingenious and exquisite production craftsmanship that had been hung.

The sky became dark and the moon was bright. The lanterns hanging around the palace were ignited at the same time, making the surroundings look like daylight.

It was at this time that Zhao Xin ordered people to announce that Xu Hengyu and Ye Fufeng would become the fifth prince's companions.

The Ye family has been with the best of generations and is the queen's family. Ye Fufeng is the queen's nephew and the youngest son of Cheng'en Duke. It was completely expected that he was selected as the fifth prince's companion, but who is Xu Hengyu?

Some well-informed ministers recalled a transfer order issued by the Ministry of Personnel some time ago and transferred Xu Fei back to the capital from Pingzhou to serve as the right assistant minister of the Ministry of Rites, which made Xu Fei's weight in his heart.

It seems that Xu Fei must be a party that is simple in the heart of the emperor, otherwise how could His Majesty give the Xu family such grace and honor?

After Hengyu and Ye Fufeng came out to thank him, another eunuch came to Xu Fei's seat to find Hengyu and led him to Kunning Palace.

When Hengyu arrived at Kunning Palace, he was also eight years old and much taller than boys of the same age. He was already led by the palace servants before him. He wore a green robe on Ye Fufeng, which made him look calm at a young age.

Heng Yu stood side by side with him, half a head shorter than him. He felt that his height was slightly different from that of the person who felt a little worried about, and he didn't want to stand with Ye Fufeng very much.

The two saluted the queen. After asking some questions casually, the queen gave her a reward, pushed Zhao Han, and said softly: "Han'er, go and read and chat with you two."

Zhao Han was a little depressed, and Ye Fufeng was not a good chat partner, but the two were cousins, and they were all familiar with each other. Among the three present, they were only unfamiliar with Heng Yu, so both of them tacitly turned their attention to Heng Yu.

Heng Yu felt that it was necessary for these two children to feel the charm of mathematics.

Then... he took out the Sudoku questions in his sleeves.

When Zhao Xin escaped from the dinner and came to Kunning Palace to meet Heng Yu, he found that three children were gathering together to play Sudoku and were very dedicated.

Zhao Xin walked away from the palace maid who wanted to bow, and could hear Heng Yu introduce various games to Zhao Han and Ye Fufeng in his soft voice.

"Do you know Sudoku? Do you know crossword game? Do you know Goko? Do you know flying chess!"

Zhao Xin: "…"

He coughed, attracting the attention of the three.

Heng Yu, who was still talking a long story, immediately stopped talking. He first bowed to Zhao Xin with Ye Fufeng and Zhao Han. After Zhao Xin asked them to waive the gift, he raised his head and smiled at Zhao Xin when no one noticed it. His eyes were bright, exactly the same as when he first met, and he did not change his attitude at all because of his identity change.

This also made Zhao Xin even more interested in Heng Yu.

As early as the day after Xu Fei entered the palace to meet the saint, Heng Yu's letter to Zhao Xin stated that he already knew his identity, but his attitude in the letter was the same, and he still intimately called Zhao Xin as "beauty brother".

After seeing Heng Yu's letter, Zhao Xin was relieved that he had already been holding back a lot. Now that he could only feel completely relieved when he saw his reaction with his own eyes.

If such a child who treats him with a innocent heart changes his attitude towards him because of the orderly order emphasized by the elders in the family, Zhao Xin can understand the fear of the Xu family, but he also feels that it is a pity.

As a result, he felt a lot more satisfied with Xu Fei.

Xu Aiqing has a elegant temperament and excellent literary talent. Not only has strong ability to do things, but he also teaches his son more than many people.

If Heng Yu knew about it, he would definitely not be able to complain to Zhao Xin again. Just like his father, he still wants to teach him such an excellent son?

Inappropriate or not.

The dinner had already ended, and Xu Fei stood outside his carriage and waited for the eunuch in the queen's harem to send Heng Yu back.

At that time, there were much fewer carriages parked around him. Xu Fei saw an eunuch walking in front of him with a lantern from afar, leading the way. His son was walking behind the eunuch holding a lantern, and two eunuchs followed behind him.

After the four of them walked in, Xu Fei discovered that the two eunuchs behind Heng Yu were filled with various rewards given by the emperor and the queen.

Xu Fei seemed to know in an instant why there were so many rare treasures in his study.

After seeing off the eunuch, Xu Fei and Heng Yu boarded the carriage. After leaving the palace gate, Xu Fei asked Heng Yu, "What did the Empress say when she saw you?"

Heng Yu repeated what happened in Kunning Palace to Xu Fei.

Xu Fei: "...You are going to be a prince's companion, not to be a pilgrimage to the prince."

The emperor and the queen did not stop Heng Yu from taking away their son, which was really complicated.

Heng Yu nodded, "Of course, I am a person who is determined to pass the exam for six yuan and leave his name in history."

Xu Feiyu patted Heng Yu's shoulder earnestly, "Son, be practical."

He has changed his attitude now and does not ask his son to pass the sixth yuan, so he should be a companion in the palace first and not cause trouble.

When the two returned to Xu's mansion, they had just reached the hour of Hai.

Song Zijin asked the father and son to change their clothes first, but she ordered people to bring the mooncakes, pastries and tea that had been prepared long ago to the pavilion in the main courtyard.

The family of three sat in the pavilion to enjoy the moon with the evening breeze.

Heng Yu winked at Xu Fei, and Xu Fei told the magazine.

Song Zijin was stunned. The eyes that were still as beautiful as before after years of polishing and refining were as bright as stars. She looked at Hengyu, with her eyebrows and eyes softly smiled, "It must be Yu'er's idea."

She and Xu Fei have been married for many years. Xu Fei treats her very well and has a deep affection for her, but these things are something that Xu Fei has never considered in his subconscious mind.

Heng Yu made a plea and pulled Song Zijin to discuss the specific content of the magazine.

While talking about planning, he was thinking about how to start the bookstore. Only when the bookstore's name was marked out can the magazine's fame spread.

Song Zijin and Xu Yu will definitely not care too much about the sales of magazines, but Hengyu will definitely not make the sales of magazines too ugly.

Soon after, the renovation was completed and the "Song Family Bookstore" located on Zhuque Street was officially opened.

Heng Yu found the shopkeeper of the bookstore and asked the shopkeeper to join him, and took several regular versions of cards printed from the bookstore to various restaurants to discuss matters with the shopkeepers, seeking mutual benefit and win-win results for both parties.

Playing cards, how can you play happily without card friends? The restaurants come and go, which is one of the easiest places to find card friends. With cards, you can attract a lot of popularity for the restaurant. If someone plays cards in a restaurant, you need to order something. If you are thirsty, you can order some cheap tea to drink. After playing for a long time, you have fun and then have some snacks to enjoy your mouth.

The butler repeated what Heng Yu said, and the shopkeeper of the restaurant immediately agreed to the matter. Some visionary restaurants even bought a lot of deck cards at internal prices and placed them in the restaurant, waiting for those guests to enjoy playing, and they could sell the cards and make a profit.

When wintersweet gradually fills the branches and the streets of Kyoto are filled with faint cold fragrance, there is no warning that something called card suddenly appears in various restaurants in the capital.

The back of the cards is painted with cumbersome and delicate patterns specially designed, and the center of the back is written with the words "Song Family Bookstore" in extremely free and unrestrained handwriting. The ordinary version of the cards is a bit rough because it is cheap, but the people who eat in the restaurant can't resist the temptation of the fancy and interesting little cards.

The restaurant has a deck of cards on each table, and you can play a little card or two while waiting for the meal.

It doesn’t matter if you can’t play. You can get started by watching how the people next to you play for one or two rounds. If you don’t know, you can find a waiter. The waiter will introduce the rules of the game to customers with the “two to one”.

Xiaoranju is the dowry of the Marquis of Wuwei. It is also a well-known restaurant in Beijing that has been open for many years.

Heng Yu went to Fang Mansion several times and angrily drew on the favorable feelings of the Marquis of Wuwei. After the cards came out, Heng Yu sent several sets of hardcover cards to Xu Yu and Marquis of Wuwei.

When chatting with Mrs. Wuwei, he mentioned the promotional ideas he came up with. Mrs. Wuwei directly ordered the people below to be smarter and help Song's bookstore promote it.

The master gave this order, so the shopkeeper of Xiaoranju naturally did not dare to neglect it.

At this time, Xiaoranju had already freed the tables and chairs in the middle of the first floor of the restaurant, found three nurseries, and sat around the table on the bench and played two or one.

The three of them each had a plate of peanuts and a cup of tea. After playing a card in their hands, they comfortably grabbed two or three peanuts and threw them into their mouths. When they were thirsty, they could drink tea and moisten their throats. When they were excited, they slapped the table and shouted strange and curious words such as "Just-in-Light", "Airplane", "Three-Terms", and "Two".

It was just noon at this time, and many people stepped into the restaurant to have a meal. They just sat down on the empty table and had nothing to do after ordering the dishes, so they couldn't help but be attracted by the three people who were playing "two on one".

I have never seen that little card, nor have I heard of those strange words, but how could they enjoy it so comfortably?

Even the tea with a light taste and ordinary peanuts seemed to have become much more delicious in an instant.

Some people also found a deck of cards on their table. After watching others play, they couldn't help but feel itchy. Seeing that the dishes were not served as fast as they could, they quickly waved their hands to shout over and asked the waiter for the rules of the game.

There were four people at this table, but after the waiter introduced that the game was played by three people. The four of them looked at each other and coughed each other, without any intention of being humble.

At this time, who doesn’t want to start playing in the first round? You really have to watch from the side. If those three people are satisfied with playing, there will be no fourth person?

"I am the oldest, I'll do this game first."

"No, no, no, I'll do it. Third, you didn't understand the rules of the game just now. Let's watch us learn how to play two or three times before playing."

"Get out of here, I'll be served after playing two or three times."
