The capital is so bustling that there are vendors selling things not only on the avenues, but also on the remote roads, and the corresponding prosperity is that everything here is too expensive.

This is the deepest feeling of Gao after coming here for a few days.

The small amount of money he brought on his body was not that he was generous, or that he didn't know how to calculate, but it was too expensive.

He was originally a scholar, a weak scholar, and it was thrilling to walk here alone, as the saying goes, useless is a scholar, even if he reads more sage books, he can't eat enough, it's still useless.

It's really forced to have no tricks, Gao Jin can only barely work in an inn, there is not much in this inn, only the rumors are the most, no matter what high-ranking officials and nobles or the trivial things of the old king next door, he knows it clearly in the past few days.

And he suddenly realized that some of his previous insights were still a little useful, and he could analyze some interesting things based on the rumors he had heard.

And if you listen to these things with the guest officer, you can make a little money, at least now you don't have to worry about the rent or anything, and he should be able to get the start of the imperial examination.

But on that day, two strange people came, and there was a basis for saying that they were strange.

One of them is a white-faced student, and the other looks mighty and majestic, no matter what kind of temperament they have, but at a glance they are not ordinary people.

Especially the one who looked a little strong, and when he heard himself say that the current prime minister sent things to the general, his face changed several times.

In fact, he himself was a little frightened, in fact, he knew, the protagonist he was talking about, that is, the general Fang Jin, but he was sitting upstairs.

It's not that he doesn't think he's hiding a little thing, and he doesn't pick out some bells and whistles like he did for those ordinary guest officers.

In any case, Gao Jin actually had a different admiration for that general, and this general was not as commanding as other officials.

Although as a person fighting on the battlefield, his temper is a little short-tempered, and he also forgives.

Remembering the first time they met, he still felt a little excited in his heart, but a little person like him, the general shouldn't remember it.

(In fact, Fang Hibiscus doesn't remember this person at all.) ）

He gradually saw some ways, and the current emperor seems to be afraid of the general, and even to the point of cutting down the grass and eradicating the roots.

He was also anxious, but he couldn't help it.

After all, he is still just a flat-headed ordinary man now.

Then the days passed in a dull way, but a piece of news suddenly hit my head.

The general was escorted to prison.

Although he had only seen the general on the one hand, he believed that the general was definitely not one of those ministers.

Say that there is a sin of rebellion.

If he really had, he wouldn't have been fighting on the battlefield for so many years.

He could storm the capital with his army at any time, storm the palace, and beat those people to pieces.

Although this sentence is a bit rebellious to say, it is indeed his true thoughts.

If it were true that he was guilty. In fact, he should believe that someone is trying to frame him.

And that person is the emperor according to his estimates.

In fact, he himself couldn't explain why he had such a deep affection for this general, and it was clear that the general didn't do anything to him.

Maybe that kind of admiration is more because of his concern for his ideal self!

Gao Jin's mood was a little irritable, what about the prime minister, he had been sending something before, where did he go now?

(Fang Jin: I have nothing to do with him, what is the responsibility?)

But the general was released a few days after he was arrested, think about it, no matter what, the general still has a Danshu iron coupon in his hand.

However, after this incident, this iron coupon was also scrapped.

Gao Jin also thought that it seemed that this emperor was not too bad, at least he was quite trustworthy, saying that the Danshu iron coupon could be worth a life, and it really worked.

Gao Jin was also a little relieved, and at this time he had already resigned from his job at the inn and was actively reading, after all, he would really have to take the imperial examination in a few days.

Fortunately, he used to be familiar with the books of the sages, and it was not too difficult to revisit them.

He actually didn't know if he would be able to gain fame or not, but since he was here. You can't just go back like that.

The imperial examination is about to begin.

Gao Jin's heart was a little apprehensive, this was the first time he had entered the palace, but maybe it was also the last time.

Compared with the capital, the palace is still more magnificent.

He barely controlled his eyes, not letting the words float around, he couldn't show what kind of lowly person he was, he hadn't seen any people in the world.

He walked forward step by step, and the other candidates in his companion didn't look as nervous as he was.

Yes, he only has one chance.

Losing this opportunity, he will have no chance to get ahead.

Gao Jin quietly clenched his fists, his palms covered with sweat.

A mansion, classical and funny, blends the architectural styles of the north and the south, and has both the grandeur of the north and the gentleness of the south.

The architectural layout is naturally atmospheric, but in some details, there is still a careful arrangement.

This is her home, but in fact, she doesn't want to come back, but she has to come back.

She knows better than anyone what kind of person her father is.

From the very beginning, she wanted to marry Fang Jin, strictly speaking, it was a routine, and all of this was for her father's career.

Xu Yingxue sighed, her father actually asked him to come back here directly, does it mean that their goal has almost been achieved.

This time, Fang Jin's imprisonment is actually a foreshadowing, heralding this stormy day.

"Oh, my sister is back. "Familiar voice, familiar intonation.

Xu Yingxue turned her gaze back to look at the person who made the sound.

With a fair face and delicate facial features, it looks like a doll next door, always so cute.

is her younger brother, but Xu Yingxue never dared to compliment this younger brother's thoughts.

"It's rare for my sister to come back, do you want to stay here this time?" The smile was very bright, but the gaze always made her uncomfortable.

"Keep coming, and we'll be gone later. ”

This younger brother of hers has liked to go against herself since he was a child, from the beginning of fighting with himself for things, and then directly treating himself as an enemy, Xu Yingxue can't say what she did wrong, and today let her brother hate herself so much.

The meaning of my brother's words just now is that he has treated himself as an outsider, and indeed, when he gets married, he is no longer a member of this family.

If it weren't for my father being so anxious to call him back, I guess I wouldn't have such a chance to come back, right?

"Father, I've been waiting for a long time, sister, come with me. "It's obviously very cute, but it's like that for my sister.

Xu Yingxue didn't want to say anything, just followed him silently.

It's obviously a straight road, but it's tortuous by him.

This younger brother is a bit stupid, Xu Yingxue knows it well, he just wants to make a detour, but he doesn't think about it at all, he has taken a lot of extra roads himself.

With such a younger brother, she is actually a little worried that she will count money for others if she is scolded.

The enemy is happy, and the relatives are painful. I'm talking about people like my brother.

Xu Xu hummed a little song in his mouth, happily leading the way.

Father has indeed been waiting for a long time, at least when she entered, looking at her father's state, it did seem like she had been waiting for a long time.

Xu Yingxue bent down and made a salute respectfully, "Father, my daughter is here." ”

Her father was still calm as if he hadn't heard...... Drink tea.

(Pretend to be deep, you'll be there.) ）

It seems to be deliberately neglected, but in fact it does not need to be this way at all.

In the past years, all my experiences have been enough to be left out in the cold.

"Sit down. After waiting for a long time, this "one" father finally opened his mouth.

"Yes. After giving a salute, Xu Yingxue sat down.

It's been a long time since she's done this offbeat and now her calves are feeling a little uncomfortable.

"How's it going?"

"Okay. ”

"Really?" Xu Shu put down the teacup and glanced at his daughter, speaking of which he is indeed patriarchal, men can become the pillars of the family in the future, although some of Xu Xu's actions show that he is not mature, but he can still **, and this daughter who has been married......

"You've been very worrying since you were a kid. "It's very worry-free, after all, as a chess piece, you only need to sacrifice yourself at the right time, and you never need him to bother.

After Xu Yingxue said "yes" softly, she was still speechless.

"You hate your father. It's an affirmative sentence.

"Don't dare. ”

"Pound, crackling......" punched the table, and the teacup tumbled and shattered to the ground.

Xu Yingxue trembled and hung her head silently.

"Okay, well, I didn't do anything when I married into the Fang family, but the Fang family's style learned to multiply ten. ”

Xu Yingxue knelt on the ground and said in a low voice: "My daughter doesn't dare." ”

"Don't dare yet. ”

Xu Shu stood up, and even wanted to kick this lying body.

What her father meant, how could Xu Yingxue not understand, but so what, did she really want her to be charged with killing her husband?

"Xiaoxue," Xu Shu suddenly changed his tone, helped Xu Yingxue up, and said comfortingly, "Xiaoxue, I heard my father say that my father only has two children, you and Xu'er, and you have no mother early, how can your father not care about you?"

Xu Yingxue still lowered her head.

"Xiaoxue, you have to remember that you may not always be a member of the Fang family, but you must be a member of my Xu family. ”

Xu Yingxue finally walked out of Xu's house.

Looking at the scenery outside, Xu Yingxue didn't know how to sigh.

Suddenly felt that the corners of her mouth were a little salty, and when she touched her hand, it turned out that she had already burst into tears.

In fact, she shouldn't have had that kind of expectation from the beginning.
