Chapter 84: The Eldest Sister's Majesty
What Gu Qingbo asked, Chen Fan'er finally declined. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Although she was the same as Tong Li, she also wanted her to bring an object into the palace after selecting the embroidered girl, even if she also attached a hundred taels of gold as a reward, Chen Fan'er still refused.
Because she is Gu Qingbo. Even if she is down and unsuccessful now, she is still the woman who is full of scheming; No matter how sincere her words are and how generous the remuneration is, Chen Fan'er just doesn't want to put herself in it.
"Even if you don't help me, that thing will still be sent to the palace by someone else. It's just that my gut tells me that things may turn around in your hands. ”
Chen Fan'er was already waiting for the retest in the hall at this moment, she recalled the words before Gu Qingbo left, and unconsciously glanced at Nangong Sixteen beside her.
In the main hall, except for the four re-examiners, there was no one else.
Nangong Sixteen was keenly aware of Chen Fan'er's gaze, and she did not shy away from returning a smile, as if to signal: "Come on, work together." ”
In fact, Chen Fan'er has a good impression of Nangong Sixteen, a wealthy martyr, who dares to act. It's just that combined with what Gu Qingbo pointed to, "that thing" and "others", Deng Yourong and Gu Qingbo did not agree, and Cao Xiaoyan was indifferent and arrogant, which made her think of Nangong Sixteen.
Just when Chen Fan'er was thinking wildly, Luo Yi walked in from the main entrance.
He was followed by a dozen maids, each holding a small bamboo basket in their hands, which was covered with a black cloth, and he didn't know what was inside.
There are only two seats left for the main seat in front of the hall, and others may not know, but Chen Fan'er knows in his heart that Feng Feijue has returned to the palace.
Luo Yi sat on the Taishi chair, arranged his cuffs, and looked out of the door, he waited for Deng Xingwei to enter the hall and jointly invigilate the exam.
The tea in front of the case was cold, and Deng Xingwei still did not appear. Luo Yi frowned slightly, and began to be a little dissatisfied emotionally.
"Priest Cao, I understand what you said, and if I were you, I would do the same. But this ...... You see, the re-examination has begun, and I am not the examiner, so I am really powerless. ”
Before anyone saw it, they heard Deng Xingwei's broken voice.
Chen Fan'er and the others turned their backs to the door, and it was not good to deliberately look back, but seeing that Luo Yi's face was a little unnatural, they guessed a great character.
The priest, the backbone of the temple, does not interfere in state affairs, but he also has a lot of weight in speaking.
A faint fragrance wafted into the hall. Chen Fan'er looked sideways, and a woman in white was passing by Cao Xiaoyan. The woman in white tied her long hair in green silk and carried a thin sword behind her; Looking at it closely, the eyebrows are picturesque, and from a distance, the temperament is like a fairy.
"Cao Jinling?" Chen Fan'er recognized this woman at a glance, and no matter how calm her mind was, her expression also showed a little surprise.
"Eldest sister?!" Cao Xiaoyan's pretended frosty face couldn't hide the surprise in her heart, and the moment she saw Cao Jinling, she blurted out: "Eldest sister, why are you here!" ”
"Hmph, you still recognize me as the eldest sister!? What are you doing standing here, are you embarrassed? Don't go back with me yet! Cao Jinling is still in this temper, if she doesn't like her eyes or goes against her will, she won't be able to say anything good.
"I don't! I'm going to choose an embroidery girl! Cao Xiaoyan replied stubbornly.
"You!" Cao Jinling almost didn't get angry, but when she saw Deng Xingwei smiling awkwardly at her on the side, she also knew that the occasion was wrong, so she took another step forward and said: "I will go to the palace with my master at the end of the month, if you leave the county again, who will take care of my father!" ”
"Isn't there still a brother!"
"You, you, you! Women put filial piety first, Sanfu he is determined to follow Rong, how long can he take care of! ”
"That eldest sister is also a woman, why don't you put filial piety first!"
Cao Jinling's face was blue and white for a while, she was respected everywhere, but she couldn't cure the girl in this family! The shame has been thrown into the government, this is going to turn the sky upside down!
"I'll say it one last time, follow, me, go back!"
Cao Xiaoyan shut up and didn't answer, and resisted in silence.
"Priest Cao." At this moment, Luo Yi walked down, clasped his fists and saluted: "Luo Yi, who is serving in the lower rite department, has seen the priest." ”
Cao Jinling frowned, knowing that this matter would not end well, so she put away her momentum and replied, "Lord Luo is fine." ”
"Divine Officer Cao, forgive the old man's bluntness. Cao Xiaoyan has passed the preliminary examination, and if he gives up now, he can be regarded as contempt for the court, and he should be punished according to the law. Luo Yi's tone was not threatening, as if he was stating a fact.
People from the Ministry of Rites pay special attention to the word "Li". First "monarch and minister" and then "father and son", first "country" and then "small family", he doesn't care what the situation in your family is, now the re-examination has begun, and if he passes, he must follow him to the imperial city to take office, and if he does not pass, he will stay in the state and county.
was said like this, Cao Jinling was a little surprised. She was a priest, and mortals were more or less in awe of herself. Luo Yi was the first mortal she had met who dared to speak so outright in front of her.
Cao Jinling's cold gaze stared at Luo Yi, she did not release the power of divine art, but she could still bring a sense of oppression to people.
Luo Yi stood up straight, standing still, he saw that Cao Jinling's expression was not good, so he added: "Since Divine Officer Cao is here, you might as well take a look together." Among these four people, who can pass the re-examination and become an embroidered girl in the inner palace. In fact, the priest doesn't have to worry, the re-examination questions are not easy, and your sister may not be able to pass. ”
Hearing this, Cao Jinling felt uncomfortable. I took my sister home, and it was not uncommon for an embroidered girl to be selected; You said that my sister couldn't pass this retest, this is to look down on my Cao family?!
"Oh? So, I'm a little curious, so let's take a look. Cao Jinling sneered and walked towards the main seat.
Deng Xingwei breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly asked his subordinates to buy one. Unexpectedly, the placement of this seat embarrassed Deng Xing.
Originally, there were two main seats side by side, and Luo Yi and Deng Xing jointly invigilated the exam.
Now Cao Jinling sat up and occupied Deng Xingwei's position. Add another Taishi chair, where to put it?
Put it on the left, that is with Cao Jinling as the center, how will you mix in officialdom in the future? Put it on the right, that is with Luo Yi as the center, the Cao family is blessed by the temple, and the prestige in the state and county is extremely high.
Poor Deng Xing was in a dilemma, so he could only put the chair under the steps, let Cao and Luo sit side by side, and act as an exam recorder himself, and he didn't fight for any priority and subordination.
"Okay, the time has been delayed a lot, and the retest will start now." After Luo Yi announced, the maids on both sides of the side took a step forward and neatly lifted the black cloth covering the basket.
"The re-examination is divided into two sessions, the first round to test the embroidery talent, and the second round to test the divine talent. The first round is four to three, and the second round determines the number of embroidered women this time. (To be continued.) )
