The scholar who thought that he would have to shave everything before the last meal suddenly heard the shopkeeper say this, although he felt even more guilty, he still felt relieved, and he was really shy.

However, Wei Qian was reluctant, and when he heard this, he looked at the shopkeeper Zhuang with a bad face, and was about to speak, but saw Xiao Yuheng coming over.

"Wei Laosan, the village girl who hanged on the beam of the house is not cold yet, accumulate some virtue, don't come out to do evil, the emperor of Chunyu is paying attention, do you dare to make trouble? ”

Seeing Xiao Yuheng, Wei Qian's face suddenly turned dark, and the two of them don't look down on him, and they don't look down on you. In addition to the Bai family's loss to Xiao Yuheng, the deeper grudge is because Xiao Yuheng is the child of someone else's family.

It is said that such as the Duke of Wei, the Marquis of Yongning Mansion and other title families, the descendants generally go to the Yin officials, that is, when they reach the age of age, in addition to inheriting the title, the rest ask the emperor to give a grace and reward an official, which is both light and can often be in front of the emperor, and the promotion speed can be much faster than the bitter haha level by level.

But no matter how fast it is, if you want to seal the cabinet and worship the prime minister and point directly to the center, you have to be from a professional background, and you are the real minister of the humerus.

It's just that how many young masters and sons who were born with a golden key can study hard for ten years?

But Xiao Yuheng came step by step like this, and at a young age of twenty, he entered Hanlin in high school, which is definitely an outlier in the family of knights, but it is an enviable outlier.

Therefore, when the eldest son had a great future in his studies, Yongning Hou also sent his second son Xiao Yuqi to the Guozijian, but unfortunately he was only sent in.

In short, compared to Xiao Yuheng, who was praised and praised by others, Wei Qian, who was a few years older, was the negative teaching material in his mouth. Every time the elders in the family teach the younger generations, they always beat and scold at the same time: It doesn't matter if you can't learn from the Xiao family, but you can't learn from the third child of the Wei family when you beat you to death, otherwise you will be beaten to death first, and you will save the family.

Neither of them is pleasing to the eye, Wei Qian has always had no face in front of Xiao Yuheng, and was about to throw his sleeves away, but when he saw Lin Xi behind Xiao Yuheng, his eyes rolled, and he suddenly sneered in his heart, and suddenly had an unappetizing lewd smile on his face.

"Who am I, Xiao Dalang, I heard that Ah Xiu just gave birth to a son for you, and you almost couldn't survive, you are good, take a rabbit out to hang out, you are really a good husband ......and a good father! Not...... Xiao Dalang! You dare to hit me!"

At this time, I saw Xiao Yuheng's face covered with frost, and he looked coldly at Wei Qian who was covering his mouth.

Not to mention that his wife's maiden name spitting out of this dog's mouth is something that makes him angry, and it is simply an insult to Lin Xi, an insult to him, and an insult to the Marquis of Yongning.

Lin Xi is a clean person, I'm afraid he doesn't even know what the rabbit master means. The younger brother he vowed to protect, but because he was treated like this, he almost had the heart to kill Wei Qian.

"Wei Laosan, if your mouth is so unclean again, don't think about the end of your life after today, I have to let you lie in bed for three more months. ”

Don't look at Xiao Yuheng as a civil official of the Hanlin Academy, but his brother-in-law is a real military attaché, and he was also beaten when he was a child, and he heard that his skills are passable. And Xiao Ningxuan had just been promoted to the commander of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division a few days ago, and the holy family was thick, and his family repeatedly warned him not to trouble the Yongning Marquis Mansion.

It's just that if Wei Qian can be threatened by Xiao Yuheng in a few words, it won't be a headache in the capital, so many people are watching, if you don't fight back, where will you put your face.

"Xiao Dalang, don't scare Young Master Ben, why are you annoyed and embarrassed by what I said?" said and glanced at Lin Xi behind Xiao Yuheng.

Lin Xi was simply dumbfounded by this shameless guy, can this kind of thing be said nonsense?And what is not good, why is it the rabbit master, looking at the curious and disdainful gazes that fell on him around him, Lin Xi really wanted to know when this kind of south wind thing became so common?

But at this time, if he doesn't say something, it will be bad if something is really rumored to be something.

"Big cousin, what is Master Rabbit?" As a young master who is not very old, Lin Xi doesn't know and won't feel abrupt, so he pretended to be puzzled and asked, his voice was crisp, his face was ignorant, and his innocent appearance made people who had bad ideas feel guilty.

Xiao Yuheng sneered and said: "Some people are full of dirty thoughts themselves, but others are like him. Xi'er doesn't care about him, choose a good book, and we will go home as soon as possible, so as to save our eyes and ears. ”

"Xiao Yuheng!"

Xiao Yuheng immediately glared back, and the scholar surnamed Zhan walked a few steps to stand beside him, so even the people who had made friends with him also stood up.

"Okay, okay, this young master has been unpleasant to your eyes for a long time, today we have an account, don't give you some color, see if you really don't take me seriously." ”

Wei Qian inserted the folding fan into his waist, rolled up his sleeves, and the fox friends and dog friends beside him also started a posture together.

"Shopkeeper Zhuang, Xi'er said that the previous losses were his, but I am his cousin, and I will be counted as mine afterwards. ”

Xiao Yuheng also stretched out his hands and feet, turned his head and specially commanded.

"Hey, what's going on. Shopkeeper Zhuang sighed.

Lin Xi's eyes widened, is this going to fight?

Between readers, no, it is a contest between scholars and scholars.

He looked at his hands, white and beautiful, except for holding the pen and silver needle, the extra strength could not be used, it felt really weak, in fact, he also wanted to beat the surnamed Wei once.

So I could only stand beside the shopkeeper Zhuang and shout: "Cousin, let go of the fight, I'll treat you when you go back, and promise not to let my sister-in-law see it." ”

Xiao Yuheng twitched the corners of his mouth when he heard this.

Except for Xiao Yuheng, the scholars behind him are simply vulnerable. On the other side, Wei Qian was hollowed out by wine, and he didn't have much combat power, but the few figures next to him were slightly burly.

Lin Xi was thinking about how to sneak attack with a black hand in secret, but suddenly heard a sound of footsteps at the door, and then a clear and familiar voice came in.

"Official, this is it, I'm tired of you. ”

As soon as the words fell, several officers and soldiers with knives walked into the study room under the guidance of a scholar, and when they saw the person who came, they heard the scholar behind Xiao Yuheng shouting: "Brother Pei, why did you come?"

Then another person said: "I said why I didn't see you in a blink of an eye, it turned out that I went to report to the official." ”

The voice was undoubtedly pleasantly surprised, but when Lin Xi saw the person clearly, the expression on his face suddenly became indifferent, and he squinted his eyes, and he couldn't see clearly for a while.

This scholar he knew, and he knew very well.

Pei Xuan, who has been getting along for four or five years and calling him a senior brother for four or five years.

It was the soldiers of the patrol battalion who came, and because the spring was coming, the patrol battalion was strengthening patrols in the western part of the city.

"What's the matter, I heard that there is a dispute here, and some people don't act according to the law? They are all going to take the exam, so they can't stop it, and if you are disqualified for some trivial things, it depends on where you cry......"

The leading officer and soldier said angrily that as long as they heard about the place where the incident happened, they could almost guess the approximate situation, and every time these arrogant scholars in Chunqiu would always have some contradictions.

But before he could finish speaking, he realized that something was wrong.

Seeing Wei Qian, a head immediately became two big, as long as this young master is in the place, the main responsibility for the accident is always him, but this is the wife and uncle of King Liang, it is not light, and it is also very difficult to do, so it is generally directly let the Duke of Wei take it back.

However, looking at the other side of the tension, it was suddenly bad again.

Who is Xiao Yuheng?

It may not have been important before, but since Lord Rui came back from the victory and controlled the patrol battalion, how could the soldiers under him not know the wife of this prince.

are all the prince's wife and uncle, how can this be done?

The leader was immediately embarrassed, "Two young masters, would you like to expose this matter?"

"How can you expose bullying and nonsense and slander at will?"

"Young Master Ben never knew what it meant to have been revealed. ”

Gotcha, two difficult masters.

The leader didn't say much, and was about to send someone to inform the Hou Mansion and the Guogong Mansion, but he saw a soldier come to his ear and say a few words, and then his eyes lit up and nodded again and again.

"The two masters, the villain can't afford to offend, please wait for a while, wait for the villain to invite the person who can be in charge of the matter, and then theorize about it, but this can't be done, they are all golden nobles, and a little bump is a great thing. ”

The two sons and gentlemen opened the folding fan and shook it lightly, just looking at the bearing, one pretending to be, and the other being very bearing, even if they didn't have a theory, they had already asserted it in their hearts.

And Pei Xuan, who was here, walked towards Lin Xi after greeting the scholar and the other companions.

"Xi'er, I haven't seen you for many days, I miss my brother very much, but are you okay?"

The familiar voice, the familiar concern, it seems that nothing has changed, and he is still the senior brother Pei who loves him.

Lin Xi looked at Pei Xuan, who was full of energy, and only felt that the young people in Huaizhou were becoming more and more jade trees in the wind, calm and moderate, it seemed that Lin Qing had become a thing of the past, and there was no trace of Pei Xuan.

Should it be said that this person is cold by nature, or is he an extraordinary person who judges the situation?

Lin Xi laughed in his heart, what else could he expect from someone who could directly betray his teacher?

A smile appeared on Lin Xi's face, but before he reached the bottom of his eyes, he called in a low voice, "Senior Brother Pei." ”

Pei Xuan's apprehensive heart immediately calmed down, and the little junior brother was still the well-behaved and sensible junior brother.

"I wanted to go to Liangzhou to find you after the spring, and I pleaded guilty in front of the teacher, but I didn't want to see you here, I'm really happy for my brother, I heard that you live in the Yongning Hou Mansion, but you are still used to living?

"Good. Lin Xi replied softly.

"Xiuzhi, do you know this little boy?" Scholar Zhan walked over with his companion.

Pei Xuan immediately smiled and introduced: "Brother Zhan, Brother Xia, Brother Li and everyone, this is the junior brother below, and he is also the son of the former Huaizhou Governor Lin Qinglin's family, and now he is temporarily living in the Yongning Hou Mansion. ”

He also said to Lin Xi: "Xi'er, these are all fellow villagers for my brother, and they went to Beijing to take the exam together, and they are all people with noble character and good writing, and they are not as good as brothers." ”

When they heard Lord Lin Qinglin, these scholars immediately became respectful, Lin Qing was honest and fair, not afraid of power, and his character of generously dying for exposing Jiangnan* was praised by many scholars, and he was born in a poor family, and he was a model for them in high school.

Pei Xuan was able to quickly integrate into these poor students and be like a fish in water, thanks to Lin Qing's identity as a senior apprentice.

Now that he heard that Lin Xi was Lin Qing's only son, these scholars suddenly became enthusiastic about him. Looking at the young man's fine clothes, he was plain and unassuming, and he heard that Lin Qing's son was weak and sickly, and now it seems that the rumors are true, and he is still wrapped in a thick cloak at this season, and he is immediately ashamed of his disdain because of Wei Qian's nonsense.

Moreover, thanks to Xiao Yuheng's liberation, they were spared embarrassment, and listening to what Young Master Xiao meant, it was this Lin Gongzi who was kind and silently compensated for the damage for them.

So I was even more apologetic and ashamed.

"Lin Gongzi, I am very grateful, and I can't say enough. ”

"Well said. Lin Xi also smiled in return, he has always had a good impression of readers.

Pei Xuan asked, "Xi'er is here, but what kind of books do you want to buy, do you want to read a travelogue or a biography?"

Lin Xi was about to say something casually and perfunctory, when he saw Xiao Yuheng coming over and said, "After filial piety, Xi'er is preparing to take the Xiucai exam, I'll take him over to have a look." ”

Talking about greeting these scholars.

Everyone suddenly realized, and they were even more embarrassed by the dirty speculation.

"I'm ashamed to be a reader. ”

"If Senior Brother Lin doesn't dislike it, we can recommend a few books to watch, by the way, Xiuzhi is the solution of my province, why don't you choose it by Xiuzhi?" A scholar surnamed Xia pointed at Pei Xuan and scolded with a smile, "Xiuzhi is really true, even if you are a senior brother, you should pay more attention to Senior Brother Lin, how can you only care about yourself?"

Pei Xuan immediately responded with a smile: "What Brother Xia said is true. ”

Thank you so much for your kindness, Lin Xi hooked the corners of his lips, seeing that Xiao Yuheng seemed to be happy that his cousin was close to these scholars, he didn't stop it with a smile, so he said casually: "Thank you for your kindness, it's just that the spring is coming, you can't be distracted by Xi's affairs, and my cousin is edited by the Hanlin Academy, and it is enough to guide Xi." ”

As we all know, those who can enter the Hanlin Academy are at least Jinshi, and the editors must not be from the two lists.

Lin Xi's words made these scholars look at Xiao Yuheng differently, isn't that why they study hard?

And Pei Xuan was slightly stunned, swallowed back the words that came to his mouth, and looked at Lin Xi, who just smiled and didn't say much, it seemed that his junior brother was not as unkeepty as he thought.

And Xiao Yuheng arched his hand and said that he would not speak again after the meeting.

This strange atmosphere lasted until a few footsteps appeared at the door again, and then a tall and straight figure appeared in front of everyone's eyes, with a cold face, and a sharp gaze fell on Lin Xi's body with a sweep.
