Xue Baiqiao was stunned, and when he turned his head to see Lin Xu's face, he also showed ignorance, and then he was surprised, and laughed: "Don't be angry, the county lord is just saying, besides, our Lin Gongzi is different from me, he is a decent gentleman, and he has never been a good woman, so he occasionally goes to a teaching department, Qinglou or something, mainly for eating, not for women......"

Lin Xu: "......"

For the first time, he wanted to strangle this guy. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

It's just that this guy didn't know that he was already angry here, and he was chattering: "You just put a hundred hearts, our Hongchen is so beautiful, which can be compared to those vulgar fans, whoever marries you will be put at home for it, there is no need not to be happy, and there is no need to curse me casually because of this." ”

Hongchen couldn't cry or laugh, and the slight anger in his stomach dissipated when he dissipated, what did he worry about with such a bastard.

In the future, this guy should only be disciplined by his wife, whether the two of them are good or bad, she can't interfere.

It's just that what Xue Baiqiao said does represent the voice of most men in the Great Zhou Dynasty, Hongchen never felt that there was anything wrong with it before, as long as the lady of the main room has a son, decency, and status, her husband has so many concubines, even if it is a favorite concubine, what does it matter, from childhood to adulthood, all women receive the same education, after getting married, a little better and a little worse, after all, it is not too much.

But lately, her mind has become more and more strange.

After all, in the world of spiritual masters, there is only high ability, and there is no male superiority or inferiority, so how can it be possible to let yourself return to the world of male superiority and female inferiority?

You give a person wings to spread their wings and fly high, and she is not willing to break her wings even if she dies.

Hongchen was silent for a moment, it was still raining at this time, and the rain accidentally blew down her cheeks along the breeze, so she woke up, ignored Xue Baiqiao and the others, and took the girl next to her back to the room.

"You guys keep playing, I'm going to wash up."

Xue Baiqiao watched Hongchen walk away in a daze, blinked his eyes, and turned his head to look at Lin Xu: "Drink tea, drink tea." ”

Lin Xu smiled: "Still no, I'm afraid of getting bad luck on you?" ”

"Huh?"

Lin Xu also left, leaving Xue Baiqiao alone to stand at the table, Xiaohe glanced back, and said in a low voice: "You are covered with dark clouds, you are going to be unlucky." ”

Xue Baiqiao: "Stinky boy, that's Hongchen joking, I can't believe it." "He is very good, he is happy to be married, he is proud, besides, it's just a matter of breaking the fortune, the dignified little marquis, the favored minister of the Long Live Lord, where to get involved in the lawsuit? Even if it is a real lawsuit, it is also the bad luck of others.

Xiaohe has always talked little, let alone say more to him, throw him away and chase Lin Xu, but Lin Xu knows that Hongchen is not the kind of person who talks about it, even if this matter sounds like a joke, but, looking at Hongchen's current appearance, he is not in a hurry or impatient, it must be that Xue Baiqiao is unlucky, and he will not hurt his muscles and bones, he is still young and a little vigorous, and occasionally there is a little mess and a little trouble, which is also a kind of growth.

Thinking of this, Lin Xu walked to the study with peace of mind and waited for Hongchen.

Hongchen's habit, he likes to read books at night, sometimes it is a more serious ancient book and secret book, sometimes he just reads landscape travelogues very casually, words and the like, no matter which one, Lin Xu can accompany him to discuss a few sentences, sometimes the same book is read by two people, which is more interesting than reading alone.

Lin Dagongzi is a busy man, and it is very rare to be able to squeeze out a little time, which can barely be regarded as a means of pursuing a lady.

Although he thought that Xue Baiqiao should not be a big deal, Lin Xu still asked a few words, mainly because he wanted to say a few more words to his own girl, and this topic was very interesting.

Hongchen thought for a while: "...... It is true that it will not cost Xue Baiqiao's life, but it is enough for him to bear. It's just that I can only see so much, I'm afraid I can't do it if I want to point out the maze, I can't let him not go out, don't run errands, and honestly stay at home, but even if it's a nest for a year and a half, the problem will still come out. ”

Lin Xu smiled: "Then don't worry about him." ”

Seeing that the autumn test is approaching.

Hongchen's teahouse business is getting better and better, and many students even live in the teahouse day and night, only carrying a little ration with them, and when they are hungry, they can drink a pot of tea for two or three days.

Luo Niang couldn't cry or laugh.

Hongchen doesn't mind, but that place is not a restaurant inn after all, not for people to live, there are also rooms that can be borrowed, there are too many people but can't live, there are no bedding, fortunately, when the original decoration, Hongchen was on the heart, are laid with the dragon, although it is not winter now, the weather is already very cold, Hongchen will let people burn the fire in advance, to ensure that those candidates who find a place to shrink up and be confused for a while will not be frozen to death.

Many people employed in the teahouse have vaguely expressed their protests, but it is such a trouble, they will not mention the large increase in their workload, and they will not make money, but only lose money.

Those candidates only order a pot of tea, but no matter how good the tea is, the brewing time is long, it has no taste, what kind of person is Hongchen, how can he make the tea in his own teahouse turn into boiled water? People only order a pot, and she has to ask for tea that people can drink, at least that can still be eaten.

There are also free snacks.

These people knew that they were reserved, and they didn't have anything to eat, most of them used their own dry food, and they were willing to buy some food, but the consumption of dim sum still increased significantly, and the cooks hired in the teahouse were a little too busy, and Hongchen even had to urgently transfer some people from the county lord's mansion.

A group of people protested, Hongchen thought that they were also working hard, so they simply increased their wages for a month, and as for anything else, there was no need to do it.

Now she is doing business not for money, but for merit.

Now is a very critical moment, she is contributing money and efforts, collecting exam questions and classics, hiring famous teachers to sit in charge, and making it convenient for these candidates.

The people below are not stupid, they understand what their master means at a glance, and they all change their minds for a while, since the master is purely kind, then he should do better.

Up and down the teahouse, as well as Luo Niang and Xiao Yan's shops, almost all of them have become mainly for the candidates, and the other guests are here, and they are not even allowed to make a big move, but fortunately, most of them are reasonable and know that everything is for the imperial examination, and they are also willing to form a good relationship with the future Jinshi, as for those who are out of tune, flying and domineering, knowing that this is the territory of the lord of Rong'an, they naturally dare not be too presumptuous.

Not only that, but everyone also helps prepare for the exam, such as pens, ink, paper, inkstones, all kinds of convenient food, and also collects money, only a little cost.

Because of the large number of purchases and preparations, the cost is lower, and some candidates from poor families can't afford it, so they can also help copy books and do a little bit of work within their ability in exchange, anyway, they have thought of all aspects as much as possible, and they are particularly considerate and enthusiastic.

These candidates are naturally very grateful in their hearts, a few of them have poor family conditions, and even secretly cried for several nights at night, before they entered Beijing, they were all ruined, and even thought that maybe they would not be able to survive the test at all, who would have thought that they did not suffer much when they entered the capital, and they could read all kinds of books all day long.

Usually at home, in order to be able to read books, they don't know how much they have paid, how much hardship they have suffered, for the imperial examination, and even some families follow the chaff to eat vegetables, boiling people's hair one by one, all of them are yellow and thin, and before entering Beijing, they are even ready to sacrifice their lives, I really didn't expect to have today's opportunity......

If Hongchen is here, he won't be able to be worshiped by the students who don't know how to do it.

The exam is approaching day by day.

Even Hongchen's ears have more or less heard a few words about the topic of the imperial examination, and when they are noble women together, it is inevitable that they will have to evaluate the advantages and disadvantages of talents from all sides.

are all girls, and when they get married, they usually don't want to think about the story of talented and beautiful women, and it is unlikely, especially these Beijing ladies, for them, the defense of men and women is not serious, if you see which good man is in your eyes, as long as the identity is comparable, you can take the initiative to mention it to your parents, most of the parents love their daughters, daughters like, naturally the most important.

Every time the test is over, when the list is opened, the matter of catching the son-in-law under the list is vigorously staged in the capital, and this year is no exception, Zhang Bang in those days, even the queen called Hongchen into the palace, and said gossip for a while, such as the daughter of a certain official's family is over twenty years old, and has not yet married, so anxious that he waited under the list early in the morning, and tied up six good-looking Jinshi in one go, and when he went back and asked, all had wives, so angry that the other party almost vomited blood, and there was one, there was no leisure, and the result was to go home, found that his daughter went to the bottom of the list to catch a son-in-law and came back, and he had to visit the church immediately, and when he was so angry, the second Buddha ascended to heaven, and came out with a stick and beat his daughter.

Well, this second one, Hongchen privately thought that he must be a military general, beating his daughter or something at every turn, Wenchen can't do it, uh, it's rare for a military general to do it, no wonder there is such a fierce girl.

The queen said a lot, laughing, but also a little envious: "I also want to catch one and try it, but it's a pity." ”

Hongchen couldn't cry or laugh, it is estimated that the mother just thinks it is fun, but if the queen really goes to catch her son-in-law under the list, no matter which one is caught, it is estimated that she will be flattered.

"By the way, Niangniang, Major General Yu hasn't come to duty yet? It doesn't matter if he's hurt. ”

Hongchen changed his mind and quickly changed the topic.

The queen smiled lightly, stroked Hongchen's hair, and said in a low voice: "That kid is not seriously injured, I don't want him to come, and the palace is not peaceful at the moment, Long live the spirit, close service is a dangerous errand, since he is injured, he will rest for a few more days to recuperate, there is nothing bad." ”

Hongchen didn't say anything.

The so-called companion is like a companion tiger, working as an errand under the emperor's nose, and his psychological quality is a little worse, it is really like a year, but Yu Yi will probably not be happy.

As she was talking, Su Niang hurriedly came in, with a bit of incredulity on her face.

"Niangniang, Mrs. Ninghou is here."

"Huh?"

The queen was stunned for a moment, and then said, "Please wait for her in the side hall." ”

Hongchen was also a little surprised, Ning Hou's family is very well-behaved, it is said that the queen should not be bothered, the women should be invited to meet, they must hand over the sign in advance, and the same is true for the clan, but like Mrs. Ning Hou, who is close to the royal family, generally if there is an emergency, come over in person to hand over the sign to ask for a meeting, it is not impossible to arrive.

But few people do this, because they seem to be pampered and arrogant, Mrs. Ninghou is not such a person, this time she is in such a hurry, it seems that something big has happened.

Hongchen immediately came back to his senses and said with a smile: "Maybe it's really Xue Baiqiao's kid who is in trouble, don't worry." ”

Mrs. Ninghou is also familiar with Hongchen, so the queen simply didn't let her avoid it, and directly let the other party in.

When the lady entered the Ganquan Palace, she didn't seem to be rude, and her words and deeds were still calm, but between the conversations, she unconsciously revealed a little worry.

Please go over, the queen was not polite, let Su Niang serve tea and asked directly: "Huijuan, you have never loved me, you suddenly came here today, there must be something, if there is something, you just say it." ”

Mrs. Ninghou's demeanor finally showed a little tiredness, sighed, and whispered: "I shouldn't have come to disturb Niangniang, and our Hou Ye refused to let me come, but, but...... Bai'er's child is my heart's meat, something happened to him, how can the courtier, who is a mother, wait at home with peace of mind. ”

The queen took out her patience and listened to her seriously, and when she listened, her expression did not become serious, and even Hongchen was startled.

Xue Baiqiao really got into a lawsuit this time, and it was not a trivial matter.

Someone sued him for selling exam questions at a high price!

Fraud in the field has always been hated by the emperor, but whenever it happens, it will be severely punished, although many officials who have committed crimes have been punished, but every time the innocent is implicated, I don't know how many, it is really no wonder that Mrs. Ninghou heard that her son was actually implicated in this kind of thing, and she did not feel disgraced.

The queen was frightened: "How come? "She hadn't heard of any fraud this year.

Mrs. Ninghou bit her lip and didn't speak.

The queen came back to her senses all of a sudden, indeed, this is a big deal, and if it really happened, the court is also trying to deal with it in a low-key manner, you know, countless candidates have not left the capital, and next year's palace examination is even more important, at this time, there is a fraud case, that is to cause chaos in the world.

It's just that I don't know if I can hide it, this kind of news has always spread very fast, even if there is nothing to do in previous years, there are still many candidates who have landed to doubt it.

"No, how could the little marquis be involved?" The queen pressed her eyebrows, "Don't worry, let's talk carefully about what's going on." ”

Xue Baiqiao is indeed a close minister of the Son of Heaven now, and he has had an accident recently, many people around him are gone, Xue Baiqiao is deeply trusted, and he has always been taken with him, but he should have little to do with the imperial examination.

Mrs. Ning Hou smiled bitterly: "Even I am confused, but, but my family Bai'er was indeed implicated this time, Lord Xu just took him away this morning, my family Hou Ye doesn't want me to care, but how can the courtiers not care!" (To be continued.) )
