"Ahem."

Coughing, Hongchen put away the little bit of caution, looked up, Jin Qingmo rubbed from the outside into the house, his small mouth pouted, and he immediately smiled, beckoned, and asked him to come over.

This action is the same as the usual greeting for peace.

Jin Qing sighed.

"Change your heavy body, it's hot in the house, and you'll catch a cold when you go out." Hongchen said with a smile. Right now, the imperial examination is imminent, and getting sick with a cold is a big problem.

When Xue Baiqiao looked at him, the laughter that had been stopped suddenly exploded even more, and he laughed and whispered: "Let his heart be like iron, and the concubine will be tender, and there will be no other thoughts." No wonder you refused to go to Butterfly Tower again, it turned out that you were contaminated with romantic debts. ”

Obediently changed into light home clothes, shook his hair, and took an ebony hairpin to pull it up, Jin Qingcai sat next to Xue Baiqiao and kicked him with his foot: "Laugh again, chop you up and feed the big tiger!" ”

"Ahem." Hongchen coughed up a sip of tea, very helpless.

Xiao Niannian was so well-behaved and cute back then, Sister Achen all day long, Sister Achen's call, regarded his uncle Yu as the most powerful person in the world, innocent and flawless, and later Senior Brother Lin cured his encephalopathy, and taught him to be gentle and elegant.

This person is indeed the one who is close to Zhu and the one who is close to the ink is black.

Xue Baiqiao got up with a smile and shook it respectfully to the ground: "Champion Lang, in the future, I will be the marquis and pay homage to the prime minister, not only don't forget Zhao Yan'er, who danced in the butterfly building, but also can't forget my Xue Moumou, who is willing to serve the work of dogs and horses." ”

Jin Qing turned his head away from him.

Hongchen also smiled and shook his head. It doesn't hurt for a boy to have a romantic reputation, but Jin Qing is a little wronged.

It's just that when he first arrived in the capital, his self-esteem was troubled, and he refused to ask for the silver money given by Hongchen and Lin Xu, and he sold words for a living, so he wrote a word casually to earn a little money, and as a result, Zhao Yan'er of Dielou fell in love, saying that it was written beautifully and colorfully, very interesting, and sang three times a day. Since then, I have devoted myself to one person.

Hongchen thinks that this child of his own is a bit like the male protagonist in the book. It's a pity that Zhao Yan'er's words are only those pedantic scholars who are willing to believe it, and ordinary Qinglou women may be stupid when they meet a versatile lover. What does the woman in the butterfly tower look like. Others don't know. Aren't they clear?

The beauties cultivated by Dielou are all prepared for the backyard of the magnates of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and others are only qualified to praise them.

It's just that. This does not bode well.

Hongchen took the cup and took the tea poured by Jin Qing: "Before the imperial examination, you will continue to participate, you should participate in the cultural meeting, Zhao Yan'er is a famous prostitute, very reserved, I can't eat you, let's see if she will test your identity first." ”

She suspected that Jin Qing was Chen Nian's identity was exposed.

At that time, the queen's youngest son was stupid, and the royal family couldn't tolerate it, so he was sent out of the palace under the pretext of medical treatment, and many people knew about it.

After all, it's a sister-in-law, and no one really cares.

"Our A-Qing is talented, handsome and beautiful, and it is not surprising that Zhao Yan'er admires him."

Hongchen smiled, and Jin Qing's face turned red with shame.

Xue Baiqiao didn't know his special identity, so he naturally had no scruples, glanced at it, raised his eyebrows, and pretended to believe that Jin Qing's charm was invincible, and even Zhao Yan'er of Butterfly Tower couldn't resist it.

"Okay, let's not talk about it, let's analyze and analyze this imperial examination."

Hongchen patted the table and asked both of them to sit closer.

Xue Baiqiao didn't mention it first, but Jin Qing had a very solid foundation, and he was famous in front of the emperor, and his reputation in the capital was not low, so there should be no big mistakes, but they were all used to doing things seriously, and they were still very well prepared, and they investigated the situation of each examiner very clearly, and even got the resumes of those ordinary examiners, and even compiled a batch of articles.

"Let's take a look at the examiner first." Flipping through all kinds of information on the table, Hongchen picked out a copy, opened it and looked at it.

Xue Baiqiao also smiled: "It turned out to be him!" ”

Hanlin bachelor Zou Nan.

This person is the main exam, I'm afraid that there is no need to worry about any cases of fraud this year, at least it won't happen on a large scale.

Zou Nan is a sincere official and a square person, and in the information in Hongchen's hand, there is an interesting story about him.

Five years ago, Zou Nan had just returned to Beijing from serving as a scholar in other places, and Ji Daru from Weishan Academy invited him to participate in the grading.

When Zou Nan was reading the papers, he saw a note attached to an examination paper, which read: 'A fellow villager and a certain country, a student is a child's wife. ’

That candidate was really a relative of the old Xiangguo at that time, and it was extremely useful to write this note himself, and several examiners put it lightly after reading it, even if it was for the sake of Xiangguo's face, he was admitted exceptionally.

It is estimated that his child qualifications also came from this way.

But when Zou Nan saw that this guy even wrote "relatives" as 'wife', he couldn't write words, and he wanted to enter the academy, so he was happy, and he casually approved a sentence on the scroll - 'Since this boy is the wife of Xiangguo, I will never dare to marry him.'" ’

When the paper was taken over, the examiners spread it, and they were all amused with laughter, and even the Xiangguo at that time couldn't stop laughing when he saw it, and he didn't mind too much.

Ji Daru also wrote a poem for Zou Nan for this purpose, praising him as an immortal pine with noble conduct.

"However, Zou Nan prefers simple articles, although the writing is gorgeous, as long as the content is solid, he will not refuse, but when the two of you take the exam, especially the little marquis, don't write and fly."

Hongchen nodded a few sentences, Xue Baiqiao responded very carelessly, his participation in the imperial examination is a joke, it doesn't matter if he can pass the exam or not, with an identity like him, even if he passes the exam, the emperor will not seriously let him go outside to be a serious official, just look good on his face, so that his father and mother have a capital to brag about.

Jin Qing was so energetic that he wanted to take the top prize and go home.

Hongchen and his family were nervous about preparing for the exam, but the atmosphere of the Xia family was a little weird.

In the morning, the people of the Xia family were still happy, preparing for their young lady's birthday lively, and it was still lively in the evening, but in this bustle. But it's somewhat mixed with other flavors.

There were countless whispers underneath.

"I heard that Xia Chan is not the daughter of the Xia family, she was adopted."

"I also heard it, it seems that there are rumors that Shi Feng has found the real daughter of the Xia family, and today Guigu Tianji will give gifts on her behalf, and it will be replaced by a genuine lady."

"It's really fake, it can't be."

"I don't know, I just heard a few words from my father, but it may not be groundless, who knows."

"If it's true. It seems that the real young lady is not simple. It's not an ordinary person who does this kind of servant work. ”

"That summer cicada ......"

"Shh

The so-called secret is called a secret when no one knows it, and once someone knows it. Then it will inevitably be leaked.

It's just that everyone pretends to be confused. No one will meddle in other people's affairs for no reason. Especially since this is still the Xia family's own business, no one in their own clan has spoken, and others naturally have nothing to do with themselves.

Xia Cicada is calm. Only when the ears are selectively deaf, even if the birthday party does not achieve the effect she expected, she still has a gentle face, and talks with the daughters who came to the banquet with a pleasant face, and after a while, the atmosphere is heated up again, and the embarrassment just now seems to gradually disappear.

The garden orchestra is bamboo, the sound is pleasant, Xia Cicada picked up a glass of sake, swallowed it in one gulp, lowered his eyebrows, and turned over the river and sea in his chest, full of strong unwillingness - it must be that person who comes to stir up the situation today.

But how did she get involved with Guigumen?

Since Xia Chan was seven years old, when he first heard the rumors of the Ghost Valley, he hoped that he could join it, and also be a person who could turn his hands into clouds and rain in Beijing, so that countless people either revered or feared, but unfortunately he couldn't do it, that is, he was older and mature, and he no longer thought about the boundless things, but instead focused on his own family.

Their family is already a famous family in Da Zhou, and there are countless resources in the clan that can be used.

But today, Shi Feng received a thank you gift from that person, and what he sent was the Heavenly Opportunity of Guigu, no one could imagine how scared she was at that moment, she was so afraid that her hands and feet were cold, and she was so afraid that she wanted to grab that person immediately, tear her apart, throw her into the fire, bury her in the ground, and let her disappear in this world forever.

"Chan, Chan."

Xia Chan came back to her senses, a smile appeared on her face, and she turned her head, and Miss Zhang didn't notice her wandering for a moment, "The Xia family's sword is really the same as rumored, can you see ten thousand swords flying?" Let's take a look, shall we? ”

The girl is a little better, not far from outside, a group of sons of the family pricked up their ears at the same time, the Xia family's sword house, which is one of the most mysterious places in the Great Zhou Ten.

Xia Chan smiled: "How can it be so exaggerated, only a few great elders can forge spirit soldiers, they will automatically break free from the sword house, find the master, and other weapons will be sent to the light for blessings, forget it, if you are curious, I will take you to take a look, it just so happens that Senior Sister Fang Zhi is on duty today, she had better speak." ”

Everyone suddenly became interested, and followed Xia Chan out of the garden and walked towards the easternmost and most mysterious sword house of the Xia family.

Along the way, Xia Chan casually introduced the Xia family's garden, which has many objects of origin, such as the tall peach tree next to the inkstone pond, which was planted by the founding Taizu himself, and a BMW jade lion was raised in the stable, which was the mount that followed Taizong on the battlefield back then.

"The spirit master enshrined in my family, in the four countries, the level is also first-class, I just made a few talismans yesterday, and I am in the sword house, when the time comes, you can see if you have the fate to get it."

Xia Chan smiled a little ridiculously, and she didn't have the kind of condescending and commanding, and the few people she made friends couldn't tolerate her arrogance.

After thinking about it, she didn't make a trace, like a spring breeze and rain, and praised the offerings of the Xia family.

These people would have been quite flattering.

For a while, the atmosphere was harmonious, a group of daughters in the capital, who were young, was like to hunt for curiosity, the Xia family was different from other families, and belonged to the hermit in the wealthy family.

"Patriarch Xia, you said that Yi'er is fine? Does he look like he's okay now? This is the first time, the sixth time, the first time, I told him about Wang Shilang's daughter, Wang Qianjin is gentle and graceful, that is a good woman of the first class, but on the first day after the marriage, Yi'er fell off a horse and broke her leg. The next day, he almost choked to death with a bowl of porridge, on the third day, he fell directly into the well, leaving only one breath, and on the fourth day, he was sitting at home, and disaster came from the sky, and a stone flew in from the window and smashed his head...... The national teacher said that he and Miss Wang's fate were incompatible, and there was no way. I had to quit my family. He was really fine after quitting his family, since this is the case, then choose another good woman for him...... And what the result, what the result. How dare you say he doesn't have anything! ”

The voice thundered. Vigorous.

"What? Just because my father went. Your Xia family doesn't look down on our Yu family, and even my son refuses to do his best? ”

Xia Cicada's footsteps froze.

The others paused and looked at each other. I heard that it was Yu Shuai's youngest son who was jumping to his feet and quarreling, with a high seniority, a generation higher than today's Banzai, and his temper was also straight, and he was one of the people who could not be provoked in the capital.

"I see that your Cheyenne is also a person who sells fame and reputation, and there is no such thing as an ancestor."

Obviously, this is the head of the family, and he is already so angry that he can't choose to say anything.

"Uh, it looks like your house is inconvenient right now."

"That's right, I think, let's go back first, and then have a chance to play again." The daughters of these noble sons behind Xia Chan have a family tradition, even if they don't know anything else, they also know that the angry head of the Yu family can't get close, in case he starts crazy in a fit of anger, it will affect the innocent.

Xia Chan smiled, didn't reply, moved lightly in a generous manner, and walked over, on her birthday today, she wore a red Luo skirt, covered with a white fox fur cloak, looking very fresh, smiling Yingying stood over, facing such a little girl, or a birthday star, the Yu family is not easy to lose her temper.

"Uncle Yu, you dissipate your anger first, with your status and status, you should also know that in our Yong'an, our Xia family's worship of the spirit master is no worse than that in the palace, and my father is not a person who talks at will, since he said that Ling Gongzi is fine, there must be some misunderstanding, or just a coincidence, you see ......"

This was reasonable, and the guests who followed behind nodded secretly.

Miss Zhang sighed faintly, lowered her voice and said: "It's still Ah Chan calm, my legs trembled when I saw Uncle Yu, and she dared to come forward to speak." ”

However, no matter how well Xia Chan said it, it was useless to meet his unreasonable and distressed son's father, Yu Jun's anger did not subside at all, and his finger almost poked Xia Chan's head: "Hehe, coincidence? When you get married, you may be able to coincide five or six or seven times, and every time you can't make it, you have to have a big disaster! ”

Xia Chan's face suddenly flushed.

Xia An frowned, and before he could speak, Yu Jun's eyes lit up, and he turned around and shouted at Shi Feng, who had just come over: "Master? I've been looking for you for two days, and I heard the Great Elder say that you are better than the blue, and you have already come out of the teacher, come and see me! ”

Yu Gongzi sat on a soft sedan chair and was carried by someone.

His face is like jade, and his eyebrows are clear, but because of his bad complexion, he can't be said to be particularly handsome, and he looks a little stunned and sad.

Shi Feng was confused, he and Fang Zhi were going to the Sword House, they happened to pass by, and they didn't know what was going on, as soon as Yu Jun said it, he understood the beginning and the end, and couldn't help but smile bitterly - I don't know who spread it blindly, saying that he can communicate yin and yang, and he is the best among the spirit masters, he is not even a spirit master, he just knows a little about the method of forging spirit soldiers.

"The head of the Yu family misunderstood, the kid is a rough man, he really doesn't understand this."

Shi Feng said categorically, but Yu Jun only thought he was shirking, "It was Marquis Xue who told me personally that you have a close relationship with the Guigu disciples, Shi Feng, I am not an outsider, you can't even fool me." ”

Entangled for a long time, Shi Feng couldn't say clearly.

When he met such a person who confessed to death, there were indeed all kinds of troubles, and when Yu Jun half-cried and explained what happened to his son, even he felt that it was indeed wrong, but since the patriarch said that there was nothing to do, I am afraid that the possibility of the spirit master in the capital being able to solve it is very small.

After thinking about it, Shi Feng really looked at Yu Gongzi seriously and hesitated.

As soon as he hesitated, Yu Jun's eyes were sharp, and he immediately discovered: "Shi Feng? With a loud shout, the head of the family gritted his teeth, "We have been loyal to the family for generations, and now the brothers are empty under their knees, and only Yi'er is left alone, if my family is rooted, I am sorry for the ancestors and ancestors, and I am sorry for the brothers and fathers, how do you want me to be good!" ”

Shi Feng smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Don't misunderstand the head of the Yu family, I don't know about Ling Lang's situation, but the kid can indeed recommend someone to you, if you have no other way, I will try to ask her to take a look." ”

Yu Jun took a step forward suddenly, his eyes lit up.

Shi Feng hurriedly said: "I only found out today that she had come to the capital. But in front of him, this person is very young, too young, if the head of the Yu family can't believe it......"

"Nope."

Yu Jun shook his head, "Heroes always come out of the youth, I also led the soldiers to fight when I was young, most of the young people who became famous are extraordinary, as long as they can cure my son, let my son smoothly become my own son." Even if it's just a seven-year-old. I am also willing to kneel down and kowtow to him. ”

When it came to this, Shi Feng had no choice but to agree, but Yu Jun was in a hurry and forced him to find someone immediately.

Shi Feng glanced at Xia An.

Cheyenne's brow furrowed. Then I heard him say, "The man I am talking about is a woman. Sixteen years old. Suddenly. He understood who Shi Feng was talking about, not only him, but even Xia Chan understood. His face turned pale in an instant.

"It doesn't matter if it's a girl, it can cure Yi'er...... "It doesn't matter if he's a dog." Yu Jun was completely ill and rushed to the doctor.

In the Great Zhou, even the national teacher was alarmed, and there was still nothing he could do, except for bumping around, hoping to meet the great sage who was really hidden in the wilderness, what else could he do?

Shi Feng looked at Xia An again, Xia An's lips moved, but after all, he still did not object, bowed his head slightly, sighed slightly and asked, "Do you really have confidence in her?" ”

"Two years ago, she had some unfathomable meaning, and last autumn, I saw her again, and it was even more incomparable, I really can't understand whether she has been empowered by an immortal master, otherwise how can she change so much, even if she is born to know, it is too much."

Shi Feng's eyes were in a trance, as if he was very frightened, but his voice was extremely serious, he was not the kind of person who would be trustworthy, his reputation was here, his reputation was naturally there, and Yu Jun was even more eager from the depths of his heart.

"Who is the master talking about?"

"Sixteen, true or fake?"

Xia Chan's hands trembled, clenched tightly, painted the nails of pale pink Kodan, and broke them in the flesh, she didn't feel it for a while, looking at her senior brother's gaze, it was simply poisonous.

Shi Feng didn't feel it at all, just flipped out the gift list, found a letterhead sandwiched inside, wrote a letter, and sent it to Xue Xiaohou's Zhuangzi.

That person should have settled in the Xue family temporarily, but unfortunately when Shi Feng's letter was delivered, it was too late, and Hongchen had already moved with Luo Niang and the others.

Fortunately, the messenger was clever and knew to ask Xue Baiqiao for help, otherwise this letter would definitely not fall into Hongchen's hands.

However, Hongchen still got the letter.

There were only a few simple words on the letter, that is, Shi Feng wanted to ask her for a favor, and if he could take the time to see her, he would be grateful.

"Go see Shi Feng!"

Hongchen held his chin and sat in front of the window, slightly melancholy.

She entrusted Lin Xu and asked Guigu Tianji to give a gift to thank her, but she didn't come to the door in person, purely because she didn't want to go to Xia's house for a while.

Of course, on her birthday, when she thought that Xia Cicada would also set up a banquet today and celebrate lively, she wanted to block her by the way.

In her last life, she dealt with that person all her life, she knows Xia Chan well, Xia Chan has a good name, and she is very unique, in her good days, the most limelight is not her, enough to make her uncomfortable for ten days and a half months, and even leave a birthday shadow, the birthday banquet in the previous life The amazing and brilliant joke of the little birthday star, is not to be circulated in Beijing, of course, if Xia Chan is willing to play some other trick of beauty poetry leakage to become famous, it is almost the same effect, but Xia Chan is a person who requires perfection in everything, so that the noble son inadvertently discovered, Which is more precious, or something that is passed on by a rough man, and in plain words?

"Then go!"

It was just right to come to the door today, and it was not to recognize relatives, but to be invited to the distinguished guest, Hongchen smiled, "Luo Niang, take out your skills, I want to wear the best clothes, ride the best horse, and put on the biggest pomp today!" ”

Luo Niang smiled and nodded again and again.

Lin Gongzi raised twelve Dawanliang horses from their young lady, and besides, even if it is not a first-class horse, let the young lady raise one, it is extremely good.

The pomp and circumstance also delayed time.

Yu Junlai was in Xia's house, and the tea was changed more than ten times, from the moon to the sky, and waited until the sunset shone at night, and finally waited until someone in front of him to spread the word - "Coming, coming." ”

He rubbed to his feet, grabbed his reluctant son, pulled his legs and ran out.

Cheyenne frowned, and had to stand up, the guests were gone, he couldn't say not to greet him, being able to wait in the living room was already extremely face-saving.

"What a big shelf!"

I saw that the Xia family actually opened the door.

The little guests chatting with Xia Chan were stunned when they heard the movement over there-a sixteen-year-old girl who didn't know her origin could also make the dignified Xia family so courteous?

Even Xia An's face was a little ugly, and he secretly said that why are these subordinates so blind today? Can the door be opened casually?

There was a commotion outside.

The little servant shouted loudly: "Master of the house, here, here." ”

Cheyenne sighed, no matter what, the door was open, and he couldn't beat people back, coughed reservedly, and said, "Please ......"

Thump!

"Yi'er?"

Before the words fell, Yu Yi threw himself to the ground all of a sudden, buried his whole face on the ground, whined for a long time, struggled for a long time, and couldn't stand up. (To be continued......)
