Chapter 62: The Road to Rivalry is Narrow

"Father, this is..."The five princes held up an imperial list with both hands and read it word by word. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

"How?" Emperor Jingtai looked at his eldest son with a little smugness.

"Fabulous." I have to say, this is a good move. The five princes have multiple meanings in one sentence, the article is good, the rules are strong, and the timing is right.

Haha, Emperor Jingtai also thinks so, he has studied with the four ministers of the cabinet for many days, and they all feel that this matter is beneficial to the country and the people, and it is also beneficial to themselves.

"It's good, I'm afraid that the students won't be able to accept it for a while, but it's not beautiful." The fifth prince voiced his concerns.

"No," Emperor Jingtai waved his hand confidently, and Gonggong Shi hurriedly brought a cup of tea.

Emperor Jingtai is good in spring, Longjing is happy in summer, and Liu'an loves Qimen in winter.

"Now that I have published the list, I am not afraid of the students making trouble." Hmph, it's good to make trouble, more people will know, and it's more effective than beating gongs and drums and shouting in the street. And... This time, the students couldn't make a fuss, and there were people in front of them.

"Father has a countermeasure?" Li Desheng is purely curious and there is no lack of temptation, his father has always disliked scholars, he thinks they are rigid and pedantic, and he will form a group to make trouble at every turn.

Emperor Jingtai showed an unfathomable smile, only in front of his eldest son, his expression would be so "rich" - only one more than others.

"Just wait and see." Emperor Jingtai sold it, "You take this one, aren't you going to Shandong?" ”

The Fifth Prince: The retainers are here to play, not to proclaim...

"You go to Xuan, don't delay." Jingtai Emperor always makes reasonable use of all available resources.

"Yes." The Fifth Prince had to change his original plan, which he had intended to do in civilian clothes.

"When to go?" Emperor Jingtai sent a sip of tea, and the taste was moderate.

"Tomorrow." The five princes carefully rolled up the imperial list and put it into the brocade box that had been prepared for a long time.

"You give this letter to Thirteen." Emperor Jingtai made a look, and Shi Gonggong picked up a wooden box.

"Yes." The five princes took the box and saluted and retreated, the plan for tomorrow morning remained unchanged, and the rest would wait until Jinan.

Before dawn on the second day, Li Desheng groped for his clothes, gently held his wife and the thin quilt in his arms, and none of the servants dared to raise their heads until the fifth prince went out to board the carriage - a carriage that looked like the thirteenth car had stopped at the gate of the main courtyard.

The fifth prince stretched out the window of the car with one hand and made a gesture, the carriage slowly opened, and the people in the car slept soundly, not realizing that they had quietly left the capital.

"Is that you?" Xiaobao frowned in disgust, the person in front of him was more like a piece of smelly oversized feces, it was obviously an auspicious day of the zodiac, but he met this hypocrite on the road, it was really unlucky!

Shi Xianggong Shi Wen recognized Ding Xiaobao, and was immediately a little discouraged, he had stopped several carriages before, and he refused to help because of too many salutes, this is the last chance, otherwise I am afraid that I will not be able to enter the city today.

How did you come across them? Sven only felt that creation made people, and it was really--not that enemies did not get together.

Shu Qinglan took the head of the case, which made Shi Wen, who has always been self-righteous, very unconvinced, a nine-year-old hairy girl, if she can write any good article, she must go through the back door!

Sven thought so and explained it to others.

Originally, he was in Qingzhou Mansion Academy, and the two of them couldn't fight each other, but the bad thing was Wu Qianqian, her mother's house and the Shu family were close to each other, so the words were heard by Aunt Shu, and then spread to the Pan family, Uncle Pan almost hit the door.

Xiaobao feels that Shi Wen is not like a man, he can't pass the test, why slander others, slander others like this, a person can ruin a person's career by accident, especially that person is still his good "brother".

Thirteen is also extremely dissatisfied, Qinglan's article was written by herself, she was also present at the time, Mr. Ji was particularly appreciative after reading it, of course, her efforts are also obvious to all, she is the first in school every year, and she fabricated such a vicious rumor, which shows that the people behind it have sinister intentions!

There was no ground, and soon, Wu Shi found out about Shi Wen's head.

Under the escort of Wu Shi, Thirteen and Xiaobao ran to Qingzhou Mansion to study, and called Shi Wen out to confront him face to face - the witness he was looking for was none other than Zhou Fang, the face of the national character that he met on Yunmen Mountain, his uncle was Zhou Jing, the general judge of Qingzhou Mansion, Shi Wen originally refused to admit it, but later saw that the other party was menacing, and he swore not to give up, so he had to admit that these words were his own imagination.

Thirteen and Xiaobao pressed him to Weixian County and apologized to Qinglan in person at the gate of the county ya, and the matter was over.

Qinglan didn't expect it to be so big, she completely underestimated the huge power of the words "fraud in the imperial examination".

"Ding Gongzi," Shi Xianggong stepped forward hard, "So-and-so's carriage is broken, can you take us for a ride?" ”

Lustful inward-looking guy!

"You're going to Jinan?" A bad thought came to Xiaobao's heart.

"Yes..."Shi Xianggong secretly prayed that there would be another carriage to take them for a ride, and whispered to a rich brother who traveled the mountains and rivers, which was really insulting to the spirit of a scholar. He thought that Ding Xiaobao and the others were going to play, after all, it was best to climb Mount Tai at this time, could it be that they also went to Jinan?

"Going to the academy?" Xiaobao asked again.

"Yes..."Shi Wen was inexplicable, when did Ding Gongzi also get a bad job of serving the government, check the household registration!?

"Which college?" Po doesn't want to be a classmate with such a person.

Sven couldn't help but feel depressed, a little kid called you a son and kicked your nose in the face, why are you questioning me like this! But people are under the eaves and have to bow their heads, who has to ask for help now.

"Quancheng Academy." Sven straightened his back and gave a name.

Quancheng Academy is the only institution in Jinan Mansion that has the status of Taishan Academy, and only students at the level of Xiucai and above have admission qualifications, and there are many high-ranking officials or children of rich families in the academy.

Whew~ Xiaobao breathed a sigh of relief, it's not Taishan Academy.

"Dad, what's wrong?" Qinglan lifted the curtain of the door, and as soon as the car stopped, the temperature in the carriage was even higher.

Shu Lao Er came back to his senses, he saw that Xiaobao and the minister had questions and answers, thinking that they were acquaintances, so he didn't step forward.

Qinglan followed Shu Laoer's eyes, and it took a while to recognize Sven - the latter was embarrassed, with mud on his face and body. Dizzy, how can this person always be ghostly!

Thirteen couldn't wait for Xiaobao to come back for a long time, so he sent Wu Shi to investigate.

"The carriage is broken." Wu Shi replied briefly, "I want to take our car to Jinan." ”

"No way." Thirteen categorically refused. It's annoying to think of the surname Shi, what a thing, a big man has no responsibility, and if he is not as knowledgeable as others, he will put a cold arrow behind his back, shameless.

"There's a pregnant woman on the other side." Wu Shi didn't want to bring it either, but Miss Shu seemed to be... The heart softened.

"Xianggong." Wu Qianqian was six months pregnant, and she got out of the car cautiously holding her belly.

"How did you get out?" Shi Wenming was impatient, he didn't mention to his wife that he apologized to Shu Qinglan, to be precise, when he knew that his father-in-law had sent his wife to Fang's house as a concubine, but was returned by others, he didn't talk to his wife much.

"I.." Wu Qianqian's face turned pale, she almost shed tears, and beat herself... After her husband found out about it, her attitude towards herself plummeted, and now in front of outsiders, she doesn't even give her face as a wife.

"You go back." Sven's face sank, and the successive rejections and encounters with opponents had already made his patience soar to the limit.

Wu Qianqian didn't dare to refute, so she had to wipe her tears and climb back into the car.

Just when Shi Wen didn't report any hope, Qinglan, who had been staring at Wu Qianqian's figure, spoke, and she said to Xiaobao: "Let them hang up their horses and run with our horses, and they will ride in your car." ”

Xiaobao's face was full of reluctance, but since Qinglan had arranged it like this, he couldn't say anything, and besides, the big-bellied woman looked a little miserable, so he couldn't be hard-hearted, so he had to respond.

Shi Wen listened to Qinglan's words, said a word of thanks, quickly tied the salute to the horse, and helped Wu Qianqian to the carriage behind.

When he got into the car and saw Xiaobao piling up a full salute, Shi Wen realized that something was wrong, this is like coming out to play, and it is enough to move! Could it be...

Sven smiled bitterly, could he be a classmate?

******

In the irregular shaking, Zhu Yuanrong suddenly opened his eyes, this is... Which? Yourself in... On the carriage? Could it be that he was hijacked?!

She lifted the quilt in a panic and checked the clothes on her body - it was the same as before she went to bed last night, who was it, who was going to harm herself like this?!

"Awake?" The fifth prince heard a slight noise in the inner room and pushed open the door of the inner room, could it be that the carriage was too bumpy and woke her up?

"Master?" Seeing her husband, Zhu Yuanrong relaxed for a moment, no, could it be that the husband and wife were tied up at the same time? ! What a guts!!

No wonder Hu Zhu's first reaction was a conspiracy theory, it was really her special status as a man, especially when she was seriously injured a while ago, which really shocked her.

"Did you sleep well?" Understanding the panic in his wife's eyes, the fifth prince sat beside her, pinned her long hair hanging down her cheeks behind her ears, stroked her back and said, "Today is your birthday, I was going to give you a surprise, but who knew it scared you." ”

Zhu Yuanrong's face gradually eased, and love crept up the corners of his eyes, so that's it!

"Concubine... Very pleasantly surprised. Thinking of last night's charm, Zhu Yuanrong's voice became lower and lower with shame.

"I asked Qing Glaze to come in and wait for you to freshen up."

"Hmm." Zhu Yuanrong didn't dare to raise his head, and answered in a blushing whisper.

In front of a blushing woman, no amount of love words is redundant.

Li Desheng smiled and walked out of the inner room, the layout of the outer room was almost exactly the same as Thirteen's carriage, he sat down and poured himself a cup of tea.

"Master." The small car window in front suddenly opened, revealing Wu Qi dressed as a coachman, "The front is the Texas Mansion, do you want to go into the city to rest?" β€œ

The fifth prince thought that his wife might be hungry, and ordered to sail into Texas. I heard that the most famous thing in Texas is grilled chicken, and the five princes are ready to try it.

Juxiang Building

"Master, there is the most famous grilled chicken restaurant in this place." The man in black had already disguised himself as a servant at this time, and the car was parked on the side of the road, and he asked his master if he would come down to eat.

The one who was called the master leaned on the pet, "Fifteen, do you want to eat grilled chicken?" ”

The tiger yawned lazily, in exactly the same position as its owner.

"Park the car in the backyard and let Yunqi be optimistic about fifteen."

"Yes." The servant jumped into the carriage, and the coachman continued on his way.

As soon as the carriage turned into the alley, another larger carriage stopped in front of the restaurant.

Juxiang Building, Wu Qi saw the name of the restaurant for the first time, and thought it was...

"This is the best grilled chicken shop?" The fifth prince was a little surprised, how did he take the name of the Qinglou Chu Pavilion.

"Yes." Wu Qi glanced back, his eyes suddenly froze, he just saw - zero three? Yes, it's Zero Three, although he disguised it well, as a senior, Wu Qi, who had "pondered" Zero Three, still recognized it at a glance.

What is Zero Three doing here? Is it a coincidence or...

Wu Qi figured out the intention of Zero Three, and led the fifth prince and the princess to the private room on the second floor.

In the private room next door, before Xiao Er knocked on the door, a woman in black stepped forward and took away the dishes.

Xiao Er is not surprised, some big families are like this.

"Master." There were no outsiders present, and the woman in black resumed her former honorific title, and she brought a grilled chicken, which immediately overflowed with fragrance and aroused people's greed.

The man eats very elegantly, cleans his hands, rinses his mouth, and the people who come to see it under a set of movements are pleasing to the eye, and it is difficult for the servants who serve him, and they are so well prepared when they go out.

The fifth prince was in a private room across the wall, explaining to his wife the customs of Texas, he had been to this place no less than three or four times, and it was the first time that he had the leisure to take a closer look at this small city.

Zhu Yuanrong listened to it with relish, she is the daughter of a high-ranking family, everyone is beautiful, such a thing of market folklore, I can't think of it in the capital. When she was young, she also wanted to go out to play, but those old grandmothers kept teaching rules and regulations all day long, saying how sinister it was outside, etc., which made her nervous as soon as she went out, and this problem has not been cured until now.

Qing Glaze read the menu, dictated the special food from the shopkeeper, and repeated it to the two masters one by one.

In addition to grilled chicken and golden silk jujube cake, the five princes also ordered a pot of liquor wine, which I heard is a specialty of our store.

Texas grilled chicken is also called Texas spiced boneless chicken, first fried and then boiled, boiled over high heat, stewed over low heat, the fire is first martial arts and then text, and the martial arts are orderly. The biggest feature of this chicken is: the meat is tender and pure, the aroma is hooking, the taste is soaked in the bone marrow, and the strange freshness is nourishing.

I saw that the chicken's legs were crossed, the claws entered the chest, the wings crossed out from the mouth through the neck, the whole body was golden, the yellow was translucent red, it looked like a jackdaw playing in the water, the mouth was feathered, and the color and fragrance were complete.

The shopkeeper personally served the food, and after setting it up, he saluted Li Desheng: "Two distinguished guests, I'm really sorry, the liquor has been bought, you see..."

The five princes raised their eyebrows, a dignified restaurant, and dared to call it a restaurant without thousands of gins?

The shopkeeper's heart said: This master is overwhelming, I'm afraid I can't be good today, he wiped the sweat beads on his forehead, and said with a smile: "There was a guest just now, and he packed all the wine in the store..."

"Oh," Li Desheng didn't intend to embarrass the shopkeeper of a small shop, and gave in: "Master only needs a pot, presumably that guest doesn't care about this pot, right?"

"Thisβ€”" The shopkeeper thought of the man dressed as a servant, and his heart was uncertain.

Receiving the master's eyes, Wu Qi prepared to meet this guest. The shopkeeper couldn't, so he had to lead Wu Qi to the door.

Wu Qi didn't expect that person to be next door, so he saved his own steps.

Knocking on the door, a bearded man came inside.

The two glanced at each other, and secretly said in their hearts at the same time that it was not good, this person was afraid that it was... Similar.
