Chapter 418: The Spring Period

Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoAt the beginning of February of the fifth year of Yongxi, the candidates who came to participate in the Spring Festival gathered in Chang'an, and the prestigious Juxianju was overcrowded!

Juxianju is an inn in Chang'an City, the reason why it is famous is because every year in the spring period, as long as the candidates who come to live here can get the tribute, they can be exempted from all the costs of accommodation in this room, although the previous candidates are born nobles, and there is no shortage of money, but in order to fight a good fortune, most of them choose to live here, for a long time, Juxianju has a certain reputation in Chang'an!

This time, because of the imperial examination system, there are many poor children also come to reference, most of their families are poor, and they have occupied a position in Juxianju early, as long as they can enter the tribute, even if they fail to get the Jinshi in the end, it can also reduce a lot of burden for the family, so compared to previous years, Juxianju is more lively!

As soon as Gu Zhen stepped into Juxian Residence, he attracted everyone's attention, and as soon as he reported his name to the shopkeeper, many noble children stepped forward to compliment: "Brother Gu has been looking up for a long time!" ”

Ma Liang, who was sitting in the corner eating, asked Zhou Jin on the side curiously, and said in a low voice, "Who is this person?" Why is everyone so complimenting him? ”

Ma Liang and Zhou Jin were both born in the Han family, and the whole town also passed the examination for the two children of the Han clan, came to participate in the Spring Festival, and marched all the way to Beijing, taking care of each other!

Zhou Jin glanced at Gu Zhen and listened to them talk about Jiaozhou from a distance, Master Gu, he laughed mockingly: "If you guess correctly, it should be the son of the Jiaozhou Assassin Historian!" ”

"Jiaozhou, isn't it a very remote place? Why were the sons of the nobility so enthusiastic about him? Ma Liang was puzzled, they have been here for several days, and they also have a certain understanding of those noble candidates, and many of them are in good fortunes, why do they want to please the son of a Jiaozhou assassin historian?

Zhou Jin glanced at him and said with a light smile: "Ma Liang, when you only read the book of sages, you should also pay attention to other things, Jiaozhou Thorn History has no weight, and they compliment him not because he is the son of Jiaozhou Thorn History, but because he is Gu Zhaoyi's own brother, understand?" ”

Gu Zhaoyi......

Ma Liang remembered what he had heard along the way, and suddenly realized, he looked at Gu Zhen, there was a hint of envy in his eyes, this Gu Gongzi, with her sister here, I am afraid that participating in the palace examination is already a sure thing, maybe, Jinshi is also in the bag!

"I'm done eating, let's go back to reading first!" When Ma Liang was still attracted by Gu Zhen's attention, Zhou Jin had already finished eating and got up, Ma Liang stopped him and whispered: "Zhou Jin, aren't you afraid that there are many big people like Gu Gongzi, don't we have a chance at all?" ”

Zhou Jin smiled and said, "We didn't have a chance, but since Your Majesty has let us enter the threshold of the scientific examination this time, I believe that as long as we are talented, we will not be buried by him!" ”

Ma Liang looked at his confident smile, and admired him in his heart, you must know that Zhou Jin defeated the children of the nobles and won the Yuezhou Xie Yuan, and now in the entire Jiangnan Province, he can be regarded as a celebrity, compared to him, he has only just entered the threshold of lifting people, and they are also children of the Han clan, they are too different!

After Gu Zhen enjoyed the treatment of the stars holding the moon, he also remembered Gu Xinjin's explanation to himself, and handed over a post to the palace to visit his relatives on the second day!

Since Xie Ronghua took Gu Hengxue out of the palace on the Shangyuan Festival, her mood seemed to be better, Xie Ronghua saw Gu Zhen's greetings, and thought that she might be in a better mood when she saw her relatives, so she asked people to take Gu Zhen into the palace and let the brother and sister meet!

When Gu Hengxue heard that Gu Zhen came to see her, she was a little surprised, she didn't want to see him at all, but everyone else had arrived, and it was impossible for her not to see him!

Shang Jing personally led Gu Zhen into the Forgotten Worry Palace, Gu Zhen looked at his sister's current residence and style, and was amazed, after he and Gu Hengxue said goodbye, Gu Hengxue let him sit down at the bottom!

"Eldest son, this is your favorite big red robe, I specially soaked it!" Zi Yan greeted Gu Zhendao warmly, she was more like his sister than Gu Hengxue, who was sitting in a high position with a cold expression!

Gu Hengxue glanced at Gu Zhen, who was drinking tea, and said lightly: "Why did the eldest brother come to Chang'an?" ”

Gu Zhen put down the teacup and said with a smile: "I'm here to participate in the Spring Festival!" ”

"Oh, since the eldest brother is here for the exam, and now that the scientific examination is approaching, the eldest brother should prepare well, what are you doing when you come to the palace to see the palace?" Gu Hengxue asked him with a faint smile!

"I heard that Niangniang was unwell a few days ago, and my father specially ordered me to come and see you, as well as the family in Zhangjiacun who saved you before, they are also worried about you!" Gu Zhen said with a light smile!

He mentioned Zhang Kui's family, which made Gu Hengxue's face change, and she said to Shang Jing and the palace people in the palace: "Father-in-law Shang, can you let me talk to my brother and I have some private words?" ”

Shang Jing smiled: "Naturally, the slave will retire first!" ”

As he spoke, he took a group of palace people to retreat, and soon only Gu Hengxue and Gu Zhen were left in the hall, Gu Hengxue looked at Gu Zhen with an ugly face and said, "What did you do to Zhangjia Village?" ”

Gu Zhen smiled: "Xue'er is so obedient, my father and I are naturally grateful to Zhangjiacun, how can we do anything to them?" ”

Gu Hengxue looked at him coldly, and said in a deep voice: "Say, what are you doing to see me?" ”

"Xue'er now has the support of His Majesty, and this temper is also growing, my father asked me to remind my sister, don't forget his wishes!" Gu Zhen smiled!

Gu Hengxue snorted coldly and said, "I can't do the affairs of the court, Your Majesty has his own plans!" ”

Gu Zhen nodded knowingly and said with a smile: "Father's first thing was not discussed, and now it is my business that is imminent!" ”

"What's the matter with you?" Gu Hengxue frowned!

"Didn't I say that? I'm here to participate in the Spring Festival, if I can finally enter high school, then my sister's face will also shine, and I will go home to have an explanation to my father! Gu Zhen smiled!

Gu Hengxue saw his scoundrel smile, and was shocked in his heart, he almost said directly to let her help go through the back door, Gu Hengxue said with a cold face: "Big brother wants to go to high school, then he should go back and study hard, and I don't know the imperial examination, what can I help you?" ”

Gu Zhen saw her attitude, his original smile dissipated, and he said coldly: "Gu Hengxue, you don't even help with this little thing?" ”

"Selecting talents for the Empire, I don't think it's a trivial matter!" Gu Hengxue said lightly, her tone angered Gu Zhen, and Gu Zhen said angrily: "You mean I'm not a talent anymore?" ”

"If the big brother is, the examiners will naturally not look away, why bother to come to me!" Gu Hengxue smiled contemptuously!

"You, don't forget, without the Gu family, how can you have your today, will you repay me and my father like this?" Gu Zhen said angrily!

"I didn't want to repay you!" Gu Hengxue said indifferently, and called Ziyan and Shang Jing in: "Father-in-law Shang, it's not too early, I'm tired of my father-in-law to send my eldest brother out of the palace!" ”

Shang Jing looked at the subtle atmosphere between the two, lowered his eyes and said, "The slave obeys the order!" ”

Gu Zhen saw that there were outsiders, and now he couldn't say anything, he glanced at Gu Hengxue coldly, and strode away!

When Shang Jing returned to Xie Ronghua, Xie Ronghua asked him in surprise: "Unhappy and parted?" ”

Shang Jing nodded, and said in a low voice: "The slave heard that they were arguing, it seems that Gu Gongzi wants Niangniang to do something?" The mother didn't agree, and they quarreled! ”

Xie Ronghua smiled lightly: "Didn't you say that he also came to participate in the Spring Festival?" Zhaoyi, who specially met me before the exam, what else could she do? It seems that I, this Zhaoyi, is very knowledgeable, and rejected him directly! ”

Shang Jing understood, and muttered: "Then do you want to send someone to follow Gu Gongzi, lest he do something that will make Zhaoyi Niangniang lose face!" ”

Xie Ronghua nodded and said, "During the Spring Festival, let the secret guard keep an eye on him, if he has any changes, he will come directly to report to me!" ”
