"Xi'er, step by step, I have gone from a child to a person, all with real talent and real learning, and the teacher has taught, you know this. This time, I was the third in the first class of high school, although I don't know why the examiner did not dethrone me, but if I take the exam again fairly and fairly, I dare to say that I can still win again! If you don't stop it, you can't say that you will do irreparable things on impulse, and you will be clamoring to go to Jingzhao Mansion to beat drums and voice grievances these days, and then the matter will be big, and it will be difficult to end. If the emperor is angry, I am afraid that it will be a river of blood and cause a tragedy, which is too painful......"

Lin Xi lowered his eyes and drank tea slowly.

Going around and talking so much, it's just that I'm afraid that the cooked duck will fly, and this beautiful Jinshi has come to naught.

This character has really not changed at all, and high-sounding words can always be said in a bunch of bunches, and in the end it's just for himself.

Thinking of this, Lin Xi put down the teacup and said with a light smile: "Since Senior Brother speaks with strength, what are you anxious about?" Xi Dai Xiaoren doesn't pay much attention to the government and politics, and he has been busy recuperating for Zhao Shizi these days, and he doesn't know what is happening outside, so he always listens to the orders of the imperial court. Since the senior brother is already in high school, he can happily prepare for the palace examination, and if he can be lucky enough to go further, Xi Ding will book a table and banquet in Fenglaiju to celebrate the senior brother. ”

Pei Xuan used to like Lin Xi's indifferent and transparent temperament, but now he hates it. He stood up and paced back and forth in the room.

"Xi'er understands, but others don't know, to be honest, my brother has been quite sad these days, and it is rumored that I am a guest of His Royal Highness King Liang, but since the teacher's accident, I have closed the door to study, and I have not had any more contact, which is really wronged. ”

Pei Xuan let out a long sigh after speaking.

At the beginning, he licked his face and became a lackey of King Liang, but later he lost his use value, and I am afraid that he will also be kicked away.

Lin Xi finally didn't suppress the mockery he blurted out, "You can't live if you do your own evil." ”

His eyes were dark and his expression was cold.

Pei Xuan was shocked and his face tightened.

Lin Xi looked up at him and sneered, "Senior brother, did you ever think that today, if you are acting right and sitting firmly, why are you afraid of these rumors? No, how are the rumors, they are the truth." How did your father be forced to die step by step, and what role did you play in it, if you spread the word about it, do you think that a few scholars would be enough to be lukewarm and indifferent to you? No, your career has come to an end! Although Dad is sometimes pedantic, his words are never wrong, and if he is of bad character, how can he act confidently! The officialdom is already bloody, and a stain can be concealed for a while, but it cannot be concealed for a lifetime, and those Huaizhou officials who have escaped the knife think that this is the end? It's ridiculous, one day, they'll all end up in the same way!"

Seeing Lin Xi, who was screaming, Pei Xuan slowly softened his body after a while, and said with a wry smile: "Xi'er finally said it, in your heart, I am afraid that you will want to cut my senior brother with a thousand knives." ”

Lin Xi raised his eyebrows, "Shouldn't it?"

"Yes, Xi'er should resent me and hate me, after the teacher went, I thought that if you beat me, scolded or even killed me, I would be willing. But you never said a word about me, even if you were to say goodbye to Changting, it was just alienation, and I knew that you hated me very much. Xi'er, every time I think of the teacher, you don't know that I have remorse, and I can't wait to kill myself to apologize, it's better than the daily torment. But I always can't do it, saying that I am greedy for life and afraid of death, but I still have ambitions that have not been fulfilled, and the teacher's ideals have not been realized, and I want to follow his path, knowing that it will be difficult, but I hope that I have never had such a strong hope that the teacher will guide me ahead......"

Pei Xuan suddenly burst into tears as if he had withdrawn from the support, and muttered in a low voice.

"I'm sorry for the teacher, I'm sorry for you......"

It's just a twenty-one-year-old young man, Lin Qing's death brought him not only regret but also a lifetime of guilt, five years of earnest teaching like a father and a teacher, caring and considerate, because of his love for Lin Xi beyond the transcendence, Lin Qing is even kind and redundant and majestic to the students. Pei Xuan was not born hard-hearted, and during that time, he was also struggling with contradictions and struggling day by day, tormenting himself.

With Pei Xuan's tears, the thoughts that were buried deep in his heart also emerged like spring water, Lin Xi raised his head and gritted his teeth to hold back the tears that snatched his eyes.

I think how much he liked this senior brother at the beginning, although he was not his own eldest brother, but he looked at it like this, and it was a happy thing to think that he would have someone to rely on in the future. Unexpectedly, it was Pei Xuan who pushed the Lin family into the abyss.

Lin Xi turned around, his eyes red, "It's useless to say anything now, Master Pei, didn't you come here today to repent, right?"

Pei Xuan wiped his eyes and said in a low voice: "Xi'er is definitely wider than me in Jingzhong, can you inquire for my brother, how does the court plan to deal with this matter, the apricot list has been revealed, but the date of the palace test is still undecided, I know that it is too early to ask in two days, but look at this situation, whether there will be two days of the palace test." ”

Seeing that Lin Xi was silent in thought, he said again: "As a brother, now you are the only one relative, if the junior brother is embarrassed, then stop, I will wait." ”

Speaking of this, Pei Xuan returned to his old handsome son, looked at Lin Xi with a rather gentle expression and said: "This time, although I saw that my junior brother looked a little tired, his spirit was very good, and it can be seen that his body is fine, so I am relieved to be a brother." Zhao Shizi's matter, I also heard one or two, the junior brother has this ability, and he is very happy for the brother, but the junior brother is not a doctor after all, and his mind is limited, so he must not be too reluctant. ”

As in the past, Lin Xi looked at Pei Xuan, and did not lie about his concern.

The only loved one......

When Zhao Yuanrong woke up, he found that Lin Gongzi was gone, so he immediately called someone, put on his clothes under the service of the maid, and came out to look for him with his head held high.

"Cousin. ”

Only hearing the rhythmic sound of small broken steps, Lin Xi's stunned face appeared helplessly doting.

Pei Xuan was stunned for a moment when he heard this title, and then realized that he got up and saluted, "Shizi." ”

Zhao Yuanrong didn't look at him, trotted in front of Lin Xi, hugged him, and raised a smile, "Why don't you call Rong'er when your cousin wake......s up?" Eat and sleep together, ...... In and out ......"

"......" shared weal and woe is said, so when is it to eat and sleep together, go in and out together?

Don't be like your father, who is faceless and skinless, okay?

Lin Xi touched Zhao Yuanrong's head, quite helpless, and when he turned his head, he saw Pei Xuan looking at him with some surprise, and he was slightly embarrassed, so he said, "Senior brother, please go back first, I remember this matter." ”

Zhao Yuanrong noticed Pei Xuan's storage at this time, he looked at it, and then carefully looked at Lin Xi's face, so he put his mind at ease.

The words could no longer be continued, Pei Xuan vaguely felt that the prince of Rui did not want to see him, so he gave his hand and left.

Lin Xi sent it to the gate of the hospital.

Pei Xuan turned around and looked at Lin Xi's back and the child next to him, with a pensive face.

The palace steward smiled and motioned to him, "Master Pei, please." ”

Pei Xuan replied and apologized, "I haven't seen my junior brother for many days, and when I see him well, I feel relieved, my junior brother is still young, so I am afraid that there will be a collision in the palace." ”

The steward smiled: "Gongzi Lin is a distinguished guest, don't worry." ”

So Pei Xuan didn't say much anymore and left with the steward.

Looking back at the majestic gate, he had mixed feelings for a while, he was such a mere person, in this capital and the common people, a wind and waves came, and no one noticed.

Thinking of Lin Xi's hateful words, he laughed self-deprecatingly, and took the blame for himself, and suddenly felt a little disheartened.

He was about to leave, but when he saw the horses tied to the gate, his eyes fell on the waiting entourage, so he casually asked, "Are there any distinguished guests in the house?"

When the porter saw that he was politely sent out by the steward, he replied, "This is the carriage and horse of His Royal Highness King Liang." ”

King Liang.

Pei Xuan's eyes darkened, and his expression was vague.

"Thank you. ”

This Liang Wang also came to an end in his conversation with Zhao Jingyi.

"Jingyi, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty all thought that they were playing favoritism for their brothers, but my father was at the peak of his life, so why should I do such a thing to destroy the Great Wall? ”

"Brother Wang is polite. Zhao Jingyi got up to see off King Liang, turned around and asked Gonggong Cao, "Rong'er is awake, let him come to see his uncle." ”

Gonggong Cao replied: "The prince is still taking a lunch break...... Why don't you wake him up?"

However, before Zhao Jingyi could speak, King Liang waved his hand and said, "Don't, I heard about the big fight yesterday, and I should let the child have a good rest." Don't wake him up, you and I are not a few steps away from the house, we will see you at any time, wait for Rong'er to get better. ”

"Brother Xie Wang is considerate, please. ”

"What's the gracious thing, family. ”

The two walked out of the main courtyard together, and after walking a few steps, suddenly Liang Wangjian said: "You will go to the north in a few days, if you can't rest assured, it is better to put Rong'er in my house, your sister-in-law is fine on weekdays, just take care of him for you, and Zhen'er is as big as him, so he must be able to play." ”

Zhao Jingyi looked at the smiling King Liang, and felt a slight sigh in his heart, this was all troublesome, and he was still paying attention.

"Brother Wang's sister-in-law is kind and his brother understands it, but Rong'er is squeamish and recognized, except for the mansion, only the Yongning Hou Mansion is willing to stay longer, even if the emperor's grandmother sends someone to take him into the palace, he will not go, so he has been entrusted to Mrs. Yongning Hou. ”

The Marquis of Yongning is a foreigner, so it is naturally different, so King Liang will not say anything more.

After Zhao Jingyi politely sent King Liang out of the mansion, his face immediately turned cold.

The cousin didn't think about how to calm the resentment of the scholar and investigated the reason, but ran to him first to cry and complain about his grievances, and his words openly and secretly pointed to others to frame him.

Who else but another prince framed this recognized prince?

Besides, is this imperial examination fraud really as innocent as he said? Hengzhi is just a game between these two.

Zhao Jingyi felt disappointed when she thought about it.

The two of them didn't think about how to screen out the country's useful talents, but they tried to insert people on it, framed each other, disappointed the students of the world, and let the spring be too much to act, making a miasma, which really tended to be inferior.

This is still at the feet of the Son of Heaven, and you can imagine what kind of scene it will be in the far away place of the Emperor Tiangao.

Gonggong Cao looked at Zhao Jingyi, whose face was getting darker and darker, and couldn't help but whisper: "Lord Wang, Gongzi Lin and Shizi have woken up, do you want to go and have a look." ”

That's right, it's endless, so he missed the opportunity to have lunch with his son and Lin Xi, and missed going to bed together...... Forget it, watching them go to bed is a waste of time.

Gonggong Cao looked at Zhao Jingyi's rather annoyed look, and continued: "Lin Gongzi didn't seem to be in a very good mood when he saw his senior brother. ”

Zhao Jingyi's footsteps were slow, he glanced at Gonggong Cao, and asked casually, "What did you say?"

"The subordinates are far away, but when Lin Gongzi comes out of the house, his eyes look a little red. ”

Zhao Jingyi was a little surprised, wondering what happened to Lin Xi, but the unhappiness brought by King Liang had been left behind by him

"Is there any news from Huaizhou?"

Father-in-law Cao leaned over to Zhao Jingyi and whispered a few times.

Zhao Jingyi frowned, "Probe again, be careful." ”

Gonggong Cao suddenly nodded again and again, smiling like a blooming dragon claw chrysanthemum.
