Chapter 209: Spring Dawn

After eating, the maids removed the dishes, Yao Chengxi didn't know where to take out a toothpick from his body, grinning and picking his teeth. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

This kind of action itself is a bit vulgar, but Yao Chengxi did it, but it didn't give people this feeling, but it looked more leisurely.

Chang Runzhi looked at him with interest before retracting his gaze.

Liu Tong seemed to be accustomed to this, and took a sip of tea and asked him: "Where have you been for most of the past half a year?" ”

"I don't have a plan to go anywhere this time, so I guess where I go." Yao Chengxi held the spittoon handed by the maid, drank a mouthful of white water, rinsed his mouth and spit it in, and replied to Liu Tong: "At that time, I thought that the winter was about to end, so I drilled to the south." When winter and spring come, I will come back to the north. ”

Liu Tong thought that Chang Runzhi had read the travelogue written by Yao Chengxi, so he asked him: "Did you write a travelogue this time?" Are there any plans to get a bookseller to write for you? ”

Yao Chengxi shook his head: "This time I went to play, and I didn't have that much spare time." And I don't like dealing with booksellers. ”

When Chang Runzhi heard this, he couldn't help but reveal a regretful expression.

Yao Chengxi was puzzled: "Why did you remember to ask this?" I remember that you didn't like to read, and when you were still in the Guozijian, didn't the doctor keep saying that you couldn't write poetry and make articles......"

"Ahem......"

Liu Tong coughed violently, interrupting Yao Chengxi's chatter.

Looking at Chang Runzhi's gaze, Yao Cheng suddenly understood, and said with a smile: "Oh, look at my mouth, I'm talking nonsense when I'm full." ”

Chang Runzhi lowered his head and smiled, and looked at Liu Tong teasingly, only to see that the roots of his ears were slightly red, and his face was also dyed with two blushes, and he couldn't help but be even more amused.

In the past, she really didn't see Liu Tong read any books, but she didn't expect that when he was a teenager, he was also a "problem student" who gave the teacher a headache.

Yao Chengxi said a lot, he chatted with people, and the atmosphere was not cold at all.

Speaking of what he saw and heard along the way, Yao Chengxi's interest was very high.

Liu Tong listened quietly, and asked from time to time, and Yao Chengxi said in more detail and specifically.

At the end, he said: "Although our saint is a little confused in dealing with his son, he still has two brushes to govern the country. ”

Chang Runzhi looked at him in surprise.

Although the Great Wei is open and the speech is relatively free, in front of a prince, he evaluates the current emperor, and this tone is quite ridiculous...... This Yao Chengxi is really a madman.

Liu Tong was a little proud in his heart, and a little unhappy, his mood was very complicated, and he couldn't help but snort coldly.

Yao Chengxi didn't care, and asked Liu Tong: "Now that you are doing things with King Rui, how is it?" Does the prince still embarrass you? ”

Liu Tong said flatly: "The fifth brother is on an errand, but the prince wants to be embarrassed, does he dare?" ”

"I think he's usually quite bold, isn't he also responsible for the flooding of the Datao River in Langxi, which caused the newly built embankment to burst?" Yao Chengxi was puzzled: "Why are you so timid at this time?" ”

Liu Tong replied in his heart, it is not because of the Yanzhou incident that the prince has been named in his father's place, he is too late to raise his eyes now, where can he dare to deal with his own brother, doesn't this make his father even more disappointed in him?

Liu Tong naturally wouldn't talk about this with Yao Chengxi, so he said angrily: "You ask the prince to go." ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ You're going to make it hard for me. Yao Chengxi shook his head and smiled, took a sip of white water.

Liu Tong instructed Chang Runzhi, saying that Yao Chengxi didn't drink tea, just gave him white water.

This flavor is a bit rare.

"That's right." Yao Chengxi put down the teacup and said: "This year's spring is just a few days away, you pay attention, there are two students, who are quite talented, and you can let Ruiwang pay attention to them when the time comes." ”

Liu Tong's hand paused, and his eyes sank slightly: "What student?" ”

"Xu Yuhuai of Huizhou, Meng Zhao of Xuzhou." Yao Chengxi said with a smile: "I have traveled all the way, and it is not without some gains. ”

Liu Tong rubbed his hand on the edge of the tea bowl, and after thinking for a moment, he asked Yao Chengxi softly: "Imperial examination scholars, if they can be named on the gold list, they are the protΓ©gΓ©s of the Son of Heaven...... Why do you want the fifth brother to pay attention to them? ”

"Oh, naturally because, even if they enter Beijing, most of them will not be able to gain fame. Even if he has fame, he must be behind. Yao Chengxi shrugged his shoulders: "There is no way, the children of the side branches, they have only known that they have crossed the branch of the people, and they will inevitably be suppressed by others." ”

"If you are really talented, how can you be suppressed?" Liu Tong asked rhetorically: "Could it be that these two surnamed Yanzhi can still manipulate the officials who read the imperial examination?" ”

Yao Chengxi raised his eyebrows: "What do you think?" ”

Liu Tong naturally didn't believe it.

Yao Chengxi asked him: "Who is the chief examiner this time?" ”

"Hanlin University scholar Zhang Demao, Dasikong Yue Xinghang, Prime Minister Liu Gou, and ...... Li Ge Lao. ”

Liu Tong said this, his face paused slightly.

Yao Chengxi sighed twice: "Got it, right?" In this spring, there are four graders. Zhang Demao is a good person, most of whom are in the middle of the relationship with the other three people. As for Yue Xinghang, the old man is a little stubborn, he appreciates King Qi very much, and he is quite fair. Liu Gou won't talk about it, he has a wide range of contacts, and he can't offend anyone. As for Li Ge, as the grandfather of the prince Liangdi, he naturally supports the prince. If you want to buy off the examiner, who do you think it is? ”

Liu Tong pondered.

Yao Chengxi didn't say much after dropping this sentence, but said: "Xu Yuhuai and Meng Zhao are talented. The people I like have never looked away. ”

Liu Tong also put this matter aside for the time being, and when he heard this, he squinted at him and said: "You are so discerning, why don't you go to the imperial examination, become an official, and select talents for the Great Wei Imperial Court?" ”

Yao Chengxi waved his hand: "Am I crazy?" It's a good and chic life, but to live that intrigue life. I can't get mixed up in the kind of circle of officialdom, and I am stupid to count the money for someone who is sold every minute. ”

Chang Runzhi looked towards Yao Chengxi, and quickly retracted his gaze, but his heart was like a drum.

"Minutes? What minutes? Liu Tong wondered.

Chang Runzhi hung his head slightly, but pricked up his ears to listen to Yao Chengxi's reply.

Yao Chengxi scratched his head, and also said "Huh", "Did I just say this word?" It's strange, where did you hear ......"

He knocked on his head and said, "You know, I've been like this since I was a child, and from time to time I pop up a little new words, and some words don't make sense...... Don't care, don't care. ”

Liu Tong laughed at him twice, and talked to him about something else.

Yao Huang whispered to Chang Runzhi: "Girl, it's time for a lunch break." ”

Chang Runzhi responded, and Liu Tong looked at her: "Going to take a nap?" ”

Chang Runzhi smiled and nodded: "Well, you guys talk, don't lose my interest because of me." ”

Yao Chengxi smiled and waved his hand and said, "Brother and sister, go, pregnant women should have a good rest." ”

Chang Runzhi gave a salute, got up and went back to the bedroom.

The heartbeat is still a little fast.

Yao Chengxi, is this person the same as her......

Chang Runzhi rubbed the corners of his forehead, thinking of Yao Chengxi's later reaction, he was a little unsure. (To be continued.) )
