14. Chapter 14
On the day of the release, Shuzhu ran out early, just waiting to see the ranking of his eldest young master this time, while Hu Li ran to the door to take a look after a while, and was relieved when he didn't see Shuzhu come back, and immediately began to walk back and forth.
Xiao Qiao was really dizzy by him this time, "Sit down, it's just a list, don't you still believe me?" Besides, there are still palace exams that have not passed, what are you nervous about now? ”
Hu Li glared at Xiao Qiao, deeply feeling that this was, uh...... What do you mean by that human being?
By the way, the emperor is not in a hurry, and the eunuchs are in a hurry!
Bah, he's not a eunuch! Although Hu Li thought so, he couldn't help but look at the direction of the door for a while, for fear of missing something.
Shuzhu squeezed around in the crowd, relying on his small size to squeeze to the front, and the few little guys who followed him were nervous in the back. They are not Shuzhu, if Shuzhu is injured by the crowd, what awaits them is definitely a board.
Shuzhu didn't know it, took a deep breath, and when he saw that the name of the eldest young master of his family was in the first place, his eyes suddenly widened, and he ran out with a smile, shouting as he ran, "First, the young master is the first!" Hurry, hurry home! ”
As soon as he shouted, others, especially some candidates who came to see the results in person, immediately turned their attention to Shuzhu. Before the exam, Xiao Qiao often went to some teahouses, and naturally many people remembered his books.
Now when I heard him shouting excitedly, they all talked in low voices. Some are sour words from some people who didn't pass the exam, and some are the words of praise from a few people who had a good conversation with Xiao Qiao in the past few days!
Of course, these scholars didn't care to listen, and ran to Xiao Mansion with a few small guys.
"The eldest young master is the first place, go and sue the old lady, the lord and the lady!" Shuzhu casually clicked a few people and shouted and ran to Xiao Qiao's yard, and Hu Li, who heard Shuzhu's voice from a distance, stood up suddenly, startling Xiao Qiao, who was drinking tea.
"What's wrong again?" Xiao Qiao put down the teacup and asked helplessly.
Hu Li grinned, pointed to the door and said, "Shuzhu is back, you are the first, you are the first!" Brother Xiao, you are so amazing! ”
Xiao Qiao didn't want to ask Hu Li how he knew that Shuzhu was back and he took the first exam, and couldn't help laughing when he saw Hu Li's heart bouncing.
Although there will definitely be no fewer people celebrating him, Hu Li's overflowing excitement still made Xiao Qiao laugh too, feeling that the results that were not many surprises actually made him feel happy.
Sure enough, after a while, Shuzhu ran in with a smile on his face, "Young Master, you are the first!" ”
Xiao Qiao curled the corners of his mouth, took out a small purse from his sleeve pocket and gave it to Shuzhu, "Dip some joy, I'll reward you!" ”
Shuzhu opened it with a smile and looked at it, his eyes were full of gold, "Thank you for the reward!" ”
The people in the courtyard heard Shuzhu shouting all the way, and at this moment, when they saw Xiao Qiao coming out of the room, they immediately knelt in a hula, "Congratulations to the eldest young master, congratulations to the eldest young master!" ”
"Get up, and give each of you a year's monthly money." Xiao Qiao waved his hand, and the people all stood up, a year's monthly money is a lot!
The old lady who received the news, Xiao's father and Xiao's mother also came over at this time, and the old lady took Xiao Qiao, who was taller than her, in her arms and called her heart and liver baby. Xiao Qiao bent over helplessly, letting the old lady pat his back excitedly, Hu Li looked at Xiao Qiao a little funny, covered his mouth and laughed secretly!
Father Xiao's somewhat old-fashioned face rarely showed a hearty smile, "Yes, but there is still a palace test that has not passed, you must guard against arrogance and rashness!" ”
"Yes, Father!" Xiao Qiao nodded, he was not worried about the next palace exam, after all, he had experienced it once, and he also knew his majesty's preferences very well, and he was still confident that he wanted to get the top three in the palace exam!
Only Xiao's mother smiled a little reluctantly, after all, Xiao Jingshu married into the Qi family, but she didn't have a good life, Xu was because she was pregnant, and her temper became more and more uncertain, so Qi Qingyun only stayed with her for a few days in a month, and it was still a few days when she was newly married.
Now Xiao Qiao will try to get this result, so that Xiao's mother always can't let go of that pimple in her heart.
Moreover, although Xiao Qiao went to greet her as always and was on call, she just felt that Xiao Qiao was alienated from her. Thinking of what Xiao Jingshu said Xiao Qiao said on her wedding day, Xiao's mother felt more and more bad.
It seems that it can't be stayed!
Xiao Qi's mother's many thoughts Xiao Qiao didn't bother to guess, when she first came back from rebirth, she still had a glimmer of hope, and Xiao's mother was only so cruel to him because she indirectly killed Xiao Jingshu. But reality slapped him hard, Xiao's mother didn't like him from beginning to end, and he couldn't see clearly because he was blinded in his previous life!
Because of Xiao Qiao's reasons, everyone in Xiao Mansion was overjoyed, and they all held their heads high and were proud when they walked outside. Although it wasn't that they got the first place in the test, the eldest young master got it, and the people in the whole mansion got a lot of rewards, which made the people of the Xiao Mansion happier than anything.
The palace test arrived as scheduled, and Hu Li couldn't send Xiao Qiao to the palace, so he took Qiu Xi out of the house. Xia Yang only thought that Hu Li was too nervous, after all, when the eldest young master would try, the little boy was worried!
After Hu Li came out with Qiuxi, he went to a restaurant to ask for a private room, ordered some snacks and a pot of tea, and closed the door of the private room.
After a while, a little fox with snow-white fur ran out of the window on the third floor of the restaurant, and disappeared in an instant before anyone could see it.
And in this box on the third floor, a woman sat in it leisurely eating snacks and drinking tea, unaware of what had just happened.
Hu Li slipped all the way from the roof to the edge of the palace wall, looked left and right, and jumped on the palace wall and slipped into the palace while people were not paying attention.
The road in the palace was a little complicated, and it didn't take long for Hu Li to faint. Seeing that there were flowers everywhere, Hu Li shook his head, a little aggrieved.
Why is this place so big, and where is Brother Xiao taking the palace exam?
"Hurry up, you adults are still waiting!" Some sharp voices startled Hu Li, and his eyes looked through the flower branches, and the group walked by here without knowing what Zheng was carrying in their hands.
Several little eunuchs hurriedly quickened their pace, not daring to delay at all.
"The skin is taut today, and if it's because you're on a business trip, ten heads won't be enough for you to pay." Gonggong Li scolded again, and the speed under his feet did not decrease, and he walked quickly.
Hu Li's eyes rolled, today's matter should be the palace test, follow them should be able to find Brother Xiao!
Hu Li thought about it, took out his small jade bottle from the Qiankun bag, and sprinkled a little bit of invisibility powder on his body from it. In an instant, the snow-white fox disappeared, and only the flower branches swayed!
Xiao Qiao's right eyelid has been jumping since he left Xiao Mansion, but he can't think of anything that can make his eyelid jump. Especially after he finished answering the test paper and handed in the test paper, it was even more inexplicable, his performance was normal, and there were no accidents halfway, but why did the right eyelid keep jumping.
Emperor Huiming had heard of Xiao Qiao a long time ago, after all, Xiao Qiao is now two yuan, if he is named the champion today, it will be three yuan and the first. This has never happened in the years that Emperor Huiming has been in power!
As long as Xiao Qiao's watch xiàn today is not on a business trip, his name as the champion will be decided. After all, although Xiao Qiao is a child of an official family, his family background is not too prominent in this imperial city, so it is not a big deal to give him three yuan.
And this is also after Xiao Qiao learned that he was Huiyuan, he knew that as long as he did not travel to this palace test, then his name as the champion would not be able to run. This is also the reason why he is puzzled, there is no problem why the right eyelid still keeps jumping.
Emperor Huiming took Xiao Qiao's examination paper, and had to admit that Xiao Qiao did have his superiority, and today's palace examination was titled "People's Heart".
Most people have written about the importance of the people's will, and there have been a lot of remarks about how much water can carry a boat and can overturn a boat. However, Xiao Qiao only mentioned briefly, most of the whole article is how to control the people's hearts and the things that can be done with the people's hearts.
Emperor Huiming squinted, although some of the measures on the exam paper were a little inappropriate for now, but after a slight change, they could be implemented immediately.
Looking at Xiao Qi'ao standing with a smile, Emperor Huiming put the exam paper on the table on his right-hand side, "You are all capable people of Dayu, and each of you will become a pillar of the country." ”
Xiao Qiao lowered his eyebrows, endured the discomfort caused by his right eye, and thought about the future.
At this time, Hu Li, who was lying on the roof of the Baohe Palace, moved his right paw, moved a tile away, looked at Xiao Qiao who was sitting in the hall and smiled, and wiped his face with his paws.
Hey, this palace is really amazing, just now he passed by a room, went in to take a look, the bed inside was more comfortable than the one he was in the Xiao Mansion.
Hu Li lay on the roof and wandered, and did not come to his senses until the voice of Xiao Qiao being named the champion came.
As soon as the news of Xiao Qiao's three yuan and the first came out, Xiao's mansion began to set off firecrackers, and Xiao Qiao's right eyelid that had been dancing for a day finally stopped.
and the new Bangyan, Tanhua and the two rode on a tall horse, Bangyan is a middle-aged man who is standing in his old age, with upright eyebrows and a righteous body, while Tanhua is a weak-crowned young man with a graceful eyebrow.
However, none of this can hide Xiao Qiao's handsomeness, although she is younger, she is more favored by the girls on both sides than Bangyan and Tanhua!
Hu Li walked around the palace and pulled a lot of good things from some corners, especially for him to find a spirit grass. Hu Li left the palace happily, and after removing the illusion on Qiu Xi's body, he returned to Xiao Mansion with Qiu Xi.
When I went back, it was already early, and even Xiao Qiao, who was riding around the streets, had already returned, looking at Xiao Qiao's top robe, Hu Li touched it curiously, "Brother Xiao, you look so good in this dress!" ”
"Of course," Shuzhu was proud, "Don't you see, how many purses and flowers the eldest young master has received, even that tanhua is not as good as the eldest young master!" ”
Hu Li looked at Xiao Qiao enviously, "Brother Xiao, you are really the best!" ”
