Chapter 64: The Guest
The results of the palace test came out, and Yang Xi ranked third and was selected as Tanhua. During this time, he has been very busy, and he wants to worship the teacher, and in the same year, there are ordinary friends such as King Fu and Li Yi who also congratulate him one after another.
Considering that it was more likely that Yang Xi would be selected as a Shujishi to stay in Hanlin Academy, and he would eventually settle down in the capital, Mrs. Yang decided to move to the capital with her daughter and youngest son, so that they could take care of each other. Yang Xi wanted to wait for his mother to arrive, so he told his mother his thoughts and went to Zhang's mansion to propose marriage. Although he knew that his mother might not be willing, he was confident that he would convince her.
Mrs. Yang walked slowly along the way because of her large luggage, and she did not arrive until nearly April. Mrs. Yang hadn't seen her son for half a year, and when she saw her son, she couldn't help but cry.
"My son, how have you lost so much weight? Yang Xi smiled,
"The son eats well, sleeps well, and is in good health, please rest assured that the mother is doing well. As he spoke, he took his mother in his arms and walked through the door. This house is the ancestral home of the Yang family in the capital, and the location is very good. It turned out that the house was a little old, and last year because she was preparing for Yang Xi to go to Beijing to catch the exam, Mrs. Yang specially ordered someone to repair it.
The family sat down in the main room, and Yang Xi found that his mother only brought the second sister and the younger brother, and the eldest sister was missing. I couldn't help but be a little strange and asked casually
"Why don't you see your eldest sister?" Unexpectedly, Mrs. Yang heard this, and her face turned red,
"Don't mention it, come back to it. ”
"The eldest sister is already married!" Yang Xi's little brother Fu Ge'er said quickly.
"Marry, who are you marrying?"
"It's Cousin Da. Second Miss Yang Wen said.
"Don't mention her. You two go down and rest, I have something to say to your eldest brother. Mrs. Yang said impatiently. Yang Wen and Fu Ge'er looked at Mrs. Yang's face was wrong, and hurriedly slipped away.
When the two of them left, Mrs. Yang called Yang Xi to come closer,
"Xi'er, you are the hope of our family, and your father is very happy for you. In particular, let me tell you, in Beijing is different from in Shandong, you must be cautious, don't say what you shouldn't say, keep a few points in your friendship with people, and ask Master Zhang for advice if there is anything unresolved. Your father said that Master Zhang, although the official position is not high, but he is well versed in the way of being an official, and there is nothing wrong with you learning more. ”
"Yes, my son knows. Mrs. Yang was very happy to hear this, and she was a hundred relieved of this son. Then she said:
"For you, your mother is relieved, unlike your cousin, it is really heartbreaking. Yang Xi then remembered that the younger brothers and sisters just now said that the eldest sister had married, and hurriedly asked her mother what was going on? Mrs. Yang sighed:
"Alas, it's also a family misfortune, last time your cousin and the eldest lady of the Zhang family didn't succeed, after you went to Beijing, your aunt lived in our house for a while, and wanted to give your cousin another family matter. You also know that your cousin is making trouble in Huzhou, how can a serious girl be willing to marry him. ”
"Then how can you tell your eldest sister to your cousin?" Mrs. Yang shook her head angrily,
"It's said that my aunt raised a nasty billet, I don't believe it, I raised it so hard, I forgot everything when I saw a handsome man, I was so shameless, I had a bad relationship with Da Ge'er, and I was so angry with your father, I just wanted to use family law to kill her. Or I couldn't bear it, so I just stopped it. What can I do in the end? I have to accompany some and marry Da Ge'er. ”
After hearing this, Yang Xi couldn't help sighing, isn't Da Ge'er responsible here, he doesn't believe it. I can't help but rejoice that Saitama didn't escape at that time. Yang waved his hand:
"Forget it, don't talk about them, I'm really afraid that these things will spread and affect your sister, so I took them to Beijing. It's you, it's said that you are thinking about your own family affairs after the Spring Festival, how is it, do you have a favorite girl?" Yang Xi was a little embarrassed,
"Mother, let's talk about it later. "Knowing her son Mo Ruo's mother, Mrs. Yang saw Yang Xi's appearance, and knew that her son already had a favorite girl, and she was very happy.
"Look at you, child, you can't tell your mother what you are shy. ”
"Mother, I'll talk about this later, and you can rest in peace now. The son still has an appointment, so he went out first. After saying that, he retreated as if he had run away, and Mrs. Yang secretly laughed at her son, and was also relieved that he had finally opened his mind.
Yang Xi also heard some things about King Fu in Beijing at these times, and said that he was a confused prince who only knew how to be happy, but judging from his contact with King Fu, he felt that King Fu was really wise and foolish, and he was fond of mountains and rivers on weekdays, and he didn't show that he was just unwilling to compete with others. Therefore, he did not alienate King Fu because of these rumors, but through many contacts, he had a deeper understanding and got closer and closer.
On this day, they still made an appointment to meet at the old place. After entering the private room of King Fu's perennial bag, Yang Xi found that in addition to Li Yi and Kong Chongzheng, there was also a young man with a beautiful face here. After meeting everyone one by one, King Fu pointed to the young man and introduced to Yang Xi:
"This is the third prince of the king. Yang Xi naturally didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly bowed down. King Fu introduced Yang Xi to the man again, only to hear the man's voice say crisply:
"It turns out that this is a few years of tanhualang. Look up for a long time. ”
"Don't dare, it's just a fluke. Yang Xi said modestly.
"Oh? Could it be that this tanhua is also chaotic, I'm afraid it's disrespectful to the emperor. After speaking, he looked at Yang Xi with aggressive eyes. This was said trickily, and a big hat was instantly deducted to Yang Xi, and Yang Xi didn't know what to do for a while, or Li Yi next to him was round.
"It's just Brother Yang's modest words, how can today's Shengming indiscriminately select talents for the country?" The third prince glanced at Li Yi, and didn't speak again, which can be regarded as a very face-saving chapter.
Because he got a new piece of writing, King Fu wanted to invite everyone to come and evaluate it, so he unfolded the pair of words on the bookcase. Yang Xi likes calligraphy, and is good at regular calligraphy, and at a glance he concluded that this word came from the hand of the former calligraphy saint. King Fu was convinced of Yang Xi's words, and was about to open his mouth to praise two sentences, but the third prince of the king said:
"Not necessarily, what evidence is there to say that it is Zhanfu's word? Who could have imitated it. Yang Xi couldn't help but wonder a little, he had never sinned against this third prince, why did he keep finding fault as soon as they met today. But he was not angry either, and said patiently:
"I know a lot about the words of Zhanfu, of course, I don't think I can make a conclusion at a glance. This character from the pen trend, the frame, the wind and bones are all both shapes and spirits. And here," Yang Xi pointed to a pen.
"The pen is very heavy, and it is different from others. ”
"Then what if others can imitate it?" The third prince of Wang was unrelenting, and even Li Yi next to him couldn't help but smile bitterly.
"Wang Gongzi, looking at the paper again, it is as clean as jade, thin and smooth, the ink is thick and light, and the texture is clear. The price of this kind of paper is quite high, but I heard that Zhanfu is not used for it. Therefore, I dare to conclude that this character is a work of Zhanfu. If it is an imitation, it is impossible to use this kind of paper. ”
Wang Sangongzi was still unconvinced and wanted to say something, and the Fu King on the side said:
"What Brother Yang said is really good, this king has a good word today, and he is in a very good mood, so let's not get drunk and have no home. After listening to King Fu's words, the third prince of the king closed his mouth, but he still glared at Yang Xi, which made Yang Xi's second monk even more confused.
