Pei Sheng went back to Beijing first to pave the way, Pei Guanying continued to stay in Huya Town to follow up on the double cropping rice, and the next day it was also the day when the imperial examination list was announced. Because Sanfang knew the news early, he was prepared early, so it couldn't be too obvious, but he still sent Huangshan to guard the entrance of the village early in the morning. Also waiting for Liu Ah Mo and several other families, Huangshan greeted Liu Ah Mo.

"I've seen Tafuro."

Liu Ah Mo snorted coldly, cast a disdainful glance at Huang Shan and mocked: "Even your master still wants to be moved? I don't pee either. ”

Huang Shan held back the thought of talking back, secretly thinking that facts speak louder than words, their master was hit by Lou Wen, who had high hopes, but he didn't win, and waited until the news was announced, hehe~

Soon the official messenger who reported the good news arrived at the gate of the village, and Liu Ah Mo was the first to rush up, and the official messenger asked flatteringly: "May I ask the official, can there be a middle move surnamed Lou?" ”

There are two families in Yanjia Village who have been lifted, one is the grandson of the family of Lizheng, and the other is indeed surnamed Lou. ”

"Haha, I'm Lou Juren," Liu Ah Mo patted his legs and laughed wildly, leading the official to his house with all his might, and shouted at the old man Lou who was waiting at the door: "Zhongju Zhongju, Da Lang Zhongju!" ”

Immediately, the whole old house was active, the tea was on the tea, the firecrackers were firecrackers, and the neighbors who watched the excitement were not stopped, and they opened the door generously to let them see, and the congratulations were reluctantly closed and the mouth was modestly said to be happy, and the old man Lou was almost crying with joy when he held on to the door, thinking that the Lou family was going to turn over and change the lintel.

Lou Wen changed into a new robe, stepped on new shoes and walked out, his face was white and polite, and he looked like a young talent. "Student Lou Wen,"

The official who was drinking tea choked on the tea, and hurriedly took out the name card in his arms and looked at it. "Wait, your name is not Lou Hua?"

Lou Wen's face stiffened, and this stiffness spread to his whole body.

Huang Shan squeezed in and said to the official: "Official, the eldest young master of our family is called Lou Hua." ”

The official who made the oolong made it repeatedly determined that the eldest young master mentioned in Huang Shan's mouth was Lou Hua on the famous post, so he beckoned the other officials to transfer to the third room. Before leaving, he snorted coldly at the old house: "Impostor master, do you think your head has been on your neck for a long time?" ”

The old man Lou was speechless for a long time, and then fainted in front of him.

Not to mention how the old mansion is tossed and how it is ridiculed, the third room has already been prepared, and the officials are entertained and sent to the red envelope in an orderly manner, and the good students send people away to take care of the old mansion.

The old man Lou has asked a good doctor to see it, and he has prescribed medicine, but the strange thing is that since the old house did not ask them to reimburse the medical expenses this time, he didn't even care about them, and let the third room go like this without looking for anything for the first time. Lou Yuzhu, who originally thought that there was another tough battle to fight, felt that she was going to be abused into a habit, and suddenly it didn't feel real to be so peaceful and sincere.

The old man Lou was sick for more than ten days, and a lot of valuable medicinal materials were filled in to raise people, and the first thing he did when he was sick was to lead Lou Wen to send two taels of silver to the third room. Huang Shan pouted next to him, remembering that Zhou Cheng rewarded him with two taels of silver that day, and when he arrived at the old house, he couldn't wait to beat gongs and drums to tell the world.

The old man Lou talked to Lou Chengyi with his sick face, and then congratulated Lou Hua on his move, and finally turned to Lou Wen. "Lou Wen, this kid, has been blaming himself for not passing the exam for the past few days, he doesn't think about it, and he looks down on it, and I'm distressed as a grandfather."

Facing the emotional card played by Old Man Lou before, Lou Chengyi couldn't resist the whole thing, and his eyes drifted straight to Lou Hua.

Lou Hua asked Lou Wen: "What do you want?" ”

Lou Wen raised his eyes, and his expression said that he was blaming himself, but he was doubtful about the fairness of the exam. "I want to check the papers."

The volume is sealed in the yamen of the city, and if you want to check it, you can but you have to have a way, you can't find the wrong person to find the door, and no matter how much money you spend, it will be wasted. Lou Yuzhu raised her eyebrows: "After checking the papers, do you still plan to discuss the papers with the examiner who marked the papers?" Lou Wen was silent, and Lou Yuzhu knew that he had guessed correctly. It's okay to check the papers, but you can figure out how to discuss the papers yourself. ”

When his goal was achieved, the old man Lou was about to get up and say goodbye, Lou Yuzhu asked Huang Ying to take twenty-two taels of silver and handed it to the old man Lou, and said meaningfully: "I don't dare to accept grandpa's silver money, two taels of silver is considered to be returned, and twenty taels is regarded as taking medicine for grandpa." In the future, grandpa doesn't have to bring anything to the door, we can't afford to come to the door a few more times like this. "Two taels of silver to call the third room to find a way for him to check the papers, tsk, the abacus is too fine!

Old Man Lou's face flashed with embarrassment, and he wanted to push back the silver.

Lou Yuzhu stuffed the silver into his hand and said, "Grandpa, don't shirk it, I'll send Ah Mana again." "As far as Liu A's greedy nature is concerned, let alone twenty taels, two hundred taels can be accepted cheekily. instructed Huangshan to send the two back in a carriage, and Lou Chengyi came up.

"Isn't it hard to check the papers?"

Lou Yuzhu glared at him, and Lou Hua said, "It's not difficult, it's just very troublesome." Dad, you don't care, it's just that the old house will come to you again in the future to ask you to do something, you let them come to me. ”

Lou Hua is now famous, and he will not have any objections to supporting his family. The next day, the Zhang family came to the door to say goodbye, the two cousins did not participate in Enke to not have the intention of being lost, and sincerely intended to Lou Hua to be happy, the eldest grandson of the Li Zheng family immediately set up a banquet to invite the village people to have a good meal, originally thought that the three rooms would also be placed, and did not want Lou Chengyi and his husband to be outspoken, and there were those who came to congratulate the family to send them away respectfully, and those who sent congratulatory gifts were sent back twice.

A few days later, Lou Wen came back from reading the papers, and the result was naturally fruitless. In fact, Lou Wen didn't go to check the papers, and Lou Yuzhu also knew the reason why he fell off the list, but the words were too gorgeous, the style was too radical, and the examiners who believed in stability poked the nerves of the examiners, and blamed Lou Wen for being too unlucky, who let his papers fall into the hands of the examiners who hated the radicals the most in his life and hated flashy and untruthful, and Lou Hua's style of writing that did not pay attention to rhetoric and was gorgeous and only practical, so the imperial examination should also be about luck!

The news of Lou Huazhong's example spread from Yanjia Village, and one by one the matchmakers pounced on them like vicious dogs smelling the smell of meat, from the town, from the neighboring villages, and even from several villages, wave after wave, one after another, which made people laugh and be quite bored. Fortunately, the matchmakers are all bright-eyed, and seeing that Sanfang really has no willingness to say goodbye, it gradually stops after tossing for half a month. Sanfang's heart lifted again while breathing a sigh of relief, because the rice within the wall had already grown.

Late that night, Pei Guanying led thirty or forty sturdy horseshoe wraps to the third room, and harvested and bagged the rice in the backyard by moonlight and transported it to the horse.

The iron box was stuffed into his chest and hidden, Pei Guanying patted Lou Hua on the shoulder and said, "I don't think I will go back this time," the money swept over Lou Chengyi's husband, Lou Ming, and Xiao Lou Chen, and finally settled on Lou Yuzhu's body, and the bitterness flashed in his eyes, and then he waved his hands upright: "Take care, everyone." ”

Lou Hua led the three-room return gift.

After the ceremony, Pei Guanying turned over and hit the horse first. Behind him, a nurse dressed in black power suit immediately followed with a horse.

Sanfang watched the horses go away until they couldn't see it, and then they turned around. Then it's time to wait.

When today's Zi Yanyan, who ascended the throne at the age of thirty-one and has been the emperor for 29 years now, he is quite strong against the clan under the strict system, and the atmosphere of the court is quite clean, and the monarch and the ministers have also had a lot of good conversations.

On this day, the bell rang three times in Beijing, and the civil and military officials lined up to go to the Xuanwu Hall to pay homage to the Son of Heaven, precious stone antiques, all kinds of natural treasures that are rare and expensive, etc., like flowing water, presented to the Xuanwu Palace for the Son of Heaven to enjoy and enter the inner library, the Son of Heaven blinked his eyes, sat on the imperial chair and looked at the civil and military officials condescendingly, and said with a smile: "I don't seem to have seen Pei Aiqing, and I am angry and don't want to see me?" ”

The Son of Heaven told a joke, and the hundred officials couldn't help but cheer, and after laughing, the elder of the pavilion answered: "Your Majesty, maybe Lord Pei is up late, and he will come over later to treat the old minister and shame him, and see if he dares next time." ”

The Son of Heaven pretended to be distressed and shook his head and said: "That's not possible, I still look forward to Pei Aiqing solving my problems, how can I be annoyed that Pei Aiqing and I have a temper?" ”

The monarch laughed, thinking that Pei Sheng would come over soon, but he didn't want to see no one after half an hour, and some political enemies began to impeach him on the spot.

What is relying on the name of the Marquis of Jingyang, what is relying on the emperor's holy grace, what is relying on that bit of merit, how strict zhòng comes, I can't wait to step Pei Sheng into the mud at that time!

The current Jingyang Marquis Pei Dingjun's beard is going to be angry, he is a military general and his temperament is bursting, as soon as he heard that hundreds of officials took the opportunity to impeach his son out of nothing, if it weren't for the birthday of the Son of Heaven, I'm afraid he would have to roll up his sleeves, so that those civil officials could see the majesty of his marshal of the three armies!

The Son of Heaven knows Pei Sheng's character very well, and he is by no means a person who will be late for the birthday of the Son of Heaven, and he was waiting for Xuanren to ask, when Pei Sheng staggered and picked up a burden. The Son of Heaven raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Hurry up, which Aiqing hurry up to help Pei Aiqing, with old arms and legs, it's awkward to pick that one." ”

Immediately, the two generals greeted him, took the burden with one hand and put it on his shoulders, straightened his waist and abdomen, and entered the hall briskly, in stark contrast to Pei Sheng, who was panting and sweating profusely in the cold wind.

The civil and military officials turned their heads and laughed secretly, and the Son of Heaven also raised his eyebrows, and the corners of his mouth were slightly hooked: "No matter what the birthday gift given by Pei Aiqing is, this special way of giving gifts will open up the world to the world, but this one can't let me spare you for being late, it's good that the birthday gift makes me satisfied, if you are not satisfied, I will punish you for writing a splendid article to think about your mistakes, and the evening birthday banquet, you can only watch it and not eat it." ”

Pei Sheng was speechless, swept his eyes and his drama-loving friends glanced at the gloating political enemies, wiped the sweat off his face, pulled off the hem of his clothes and knelt respectfully, took out the double-cropping rice codex wrapped in cotton cloth from his arms and presented it to the bottom of his head, and bowed to the ground with excitement in his eyes: "The three rooms of the Lou family in Yanjia Village, Huya Town, Nanyang Prefecture, the minister's birthday, wish the emperor a long life and good health!" ”

Nanyang Mansion Huya Town Yanjia Village Lou's three rooms?

The civil and military officials looked at each other one after another, and they wondered what kind of medicine was sold in Pei Sheng's gourd. Jingyang Hou Pei Dingjun squinted his eyes, and the old god looked at his son comfortably, pretending.

The Son of Heaven raised his eyebrows and gave his attendant a look.

The attendant bowed his knees, then lowered his head and quickly took the things in Pei Sheng's hand, and then presented them to the Son of Heaven with both hands.

The Son of Heaven looked at the wrapped things in shape, and took a moment to open the cotton cloth, and when the cover of the Codex revealed that the Son of Heaven was surprised and inexplicable, he quickly picked up the Codex and looked at it at a glance and ten lines, and when he saw half of it, he slapped his thigh and applauded.

The civil and military officials were surprised, and they poked Pei Sheng with their eyes one by one. Even Jingyang Hou gave his son a look, and he didn't respond for a long time, if he was congested. The son is too thoughtful not to tell Lao Tzu or something, the most annoying!

After flipping through a codex in the form of a diary, the Son of Heaven raised his eyes and saw that Pei Sheng was still kneeling on the ground, went down the jade steps to personally help Pei Sheng, and said in a rather excited tone: "Aiqing, get up quickly!" ”

The civil and military officials stared at each other, and they couldn't adapt to the rapid change in the painting style of the Son of Heaven for a while.

Pei Shengxu got up by the hand of the Son of Heaven, and the agitation in his tone didn't seem to have calmed down: "Thank you, Your Majesty." ”

"Aiqing gave me a generous gift, okay! Good! Come, all Aiqing also take a look, this is a great happy event, a happy event! With that, he handed over the codex in his hand, and the oldest elders took it, and then the more they looked at it, the more excited they became, and there were several people who cried with joy.

More than ten years ago, the catastrophe caused Dayuan to suffer heavy losses, and everyone who experienced it had palpitations, and they didn't want to experience that kind of desperate and indefinite dark days. Some sensual court officials wiped the corners of their red eyes, and wondered how good it would be to have a double-cropping rice method at that time, so that there would be half more food, and the court would not be helpless to starve to death so many victims!

A few pavilion elders over there were still excited holding the codex, and here Pei Sheng led the Son of Heaven to the burden, opened the cloth bag and introduced to the Son of Heaven which is early rice and which is late rice, and what are the differences between the two.

The Son of Heaven is naturally a strong man, and when he finishes looking at it, he will instruct the civil and military officials to come up and take a look. After seeing it, the civil and military officials relined up, and the good words and auspicious words were not the same, and the son of heaven couldn't keep his mouth shut. "Just now Pei Aiqing said that it was the third room of the Lou family in Yanjia Village, Huya Town, Nanyang Prefecture, is it the third family with a brother among the four children, let me think about it, that brother seems to be called Lou Yuzhu?"

Pei Sheng sighed in his heart, wondering how the Son of Heaven knew about Lou Yuzhu. "Back to the emperor, that's the family."

"No wonder." The Son of Heaven smiled and said: "Mu Lao entered the palace and complained to me, saying that it was a pity that he could not enter the palace if he had a good seedling, otherwise he would have a place in the middle of the court in a few decades." ”

Pei Sheng Khan.

In fact, Mu Lao was not the first person to talk to the Son of Heaven to talk to the house, the first was Master Huineng who came back from his travels. The words "alien star is a lucky star, and he is in Nanyang Mansion" made the Son of Heaven deeply impressed.
