"-You!" Kong Qingyang, who finally figured out the ins and outs, obviously felt that she had been tricked, she bit her lip tightly, glared at each other angrily, and clenched her fists. Just looking at that calm face, Kong Qingyang gritted his teeth, and could only turn around angrily and was about to walk out of the door.

Bai Sa looked at her back, and his tone was cold, "...... I know your ability, even if you are the champion of martial arts, you deserve it. But have you ever wondered why you have taken the test so many times and still have no name on the list? ”

"I know!" Kong Qingyang suddenly stopped, she turned around and was obviously still angry, "I also know what you have to say!" ”

"It's nothing more than that martial arts are not fair at all, and the big families have filled up the quota, saying that it is to give the Hanmen Shu clan a chance, but in fact, it is difficult to break out of the encirclement, right? I'd better let go of my unrealistic fantasies early and go home to do things, right? ”

"But no matter how slim the hope is, at least there is a glimmer of hope compared to before, isn't it?" Speaking of this, Kong Qingyang suddenly calmed down, "As long as I'm good enough, so good that the examiner can't ignore my words because of my humble identity, right?" ”

Bai Sa frowned, as if hopelessly incurable for her stubbornness, "Do you know how hard it is?" ”

"But that's at least a goal that can be achieved as long as you work hard, and it really exists, as long as you do it, you can reach it." Kong Qingyang looked at his eyes firmly, "When it was impossible to get a gap in the past, there were still people who traveled all over the capital to find people who might appreciate them, and they didn't give up their ideals and ambitions after decades of years - as a result, now there is a gap, but you have to dislike it for not being big enough?!" ”

But Bai Sa looked at her with a gloomy face, "There are always some things in this world that seem to be within reach, but in the end they are still the moon in the glasses in the water, you think what you see is real, but in fact it is just an illusion." There was no silver lining before, and I don't think there is any hope now. It's just that in the darkness, suddenly the moon is drawn for you, and you think it's the real moon, and you can reach it as long as you stretch out your hand, but in fact, it's no different from when it's dark. That's it, the fate of some people in this world is predestined from birth. A pariah is a pariah, a nobility is a nobility, and there is no change. ”

Kong Qingyang glared at him unconvinced, "Nonsense! The queen has already started martial arts, and there will be more and more people from the Hanmen Shu clan in the future! Now above the court, aren't there many officials from humble backgrounds! ”

Bai Sa snorted coldly, as if he didn't bother to argue with her naivety and innocence, but this silent contempt only made Kong Qingyang even more annoyed.

Shen Ruyu and Wang Zijun stood aside, listening without saying a word, and Wen Ming and Ming Xi saw this kind of scene for the first time, standing on the side a little stunned, Ming Xi seemed to feel that their fierce love was a little frightening, and couldn't help but grab Shen Ruyu's clothes, looked behind her and shrunk back, Shen Ruyu found out about this, reached out and touched his head comfortingly.

Just when Bai Sa and Kong Qingyang refused to back down with each other, Shen Ruyu finally spoke up, "Qingyang, Young Master Bai is right. ”

Kong Qingyang was stunned for a moment, "Ruyu - you ...... too!" ”

Bai Sa looked at Shen Ruyu and raised his eyebrows, and said sarcastically: "Look at what our proud daughters of the sky say." ”

"Wuju really has no future." But Kong Qingyang was about to get angry, but Shen Ruyu said in a calm tone, "But there is not only one way to enter the office. ”

Kong Qingyang: "...... Hey? She said a little dazed, "But, but...... In addition to martial arts, the only way to do this is to enter Beijing and recommend yourself to the powerful of the family, hoping that they can exercise the right to 'promote the virtuous' and recommend themselves......"

As she spoke, she seemed to think that Shen Ruyu was talking about this method, and suddenly frowned, "But, in that case, I will not be my official of Da Jiang, but the lackey of those powerful people." Ruyu, I'm sorry, even if it's the Shen family, even if it's Ruyu...... I also don't want to be attached to the Shen family - no, it should be said, I don't want to be attached to any family. ”

Bai Sa seemed to think that being introduced was a good way, and at this moment, when she heard Kong Qingyang say that she still wanted to rely on her own efforts, she immediately frowned, "Are you stupid?!" ”

Even Mingxi and Wen Ming frowned, as if they felt that she didn't know what to do.

But Shen Ruyu seemed to laugh appreciatively, "It's not the Shen family, it's me." ”

"I recommend you." She said, "In the name of the envoy of the deposed army, he selects talents and exercises the 'right of recommendation' for His Majesty." Qingyang, look, do you want to be the first 'sage' to be introduced? ”

"The Envoy?" Kong Qingyang was stunned for a moment. “…… On behalf of the Son of Heaven, he went out on patrol, inspected the counties, inspected the officials, recorded the political achievements, observed the people's feelings, and recommended the virtuous and filial piety...... Dethroned Envoy? ”

"yes." Shen Ruyu smiled and nodded, "But you have to accompany me to Luohe, just as an investigation, and then when I return to Jingshi, I will write you a letter of recommendation." ”

She held out her hand, "How?" Acceptable? ”

Kong Qingyang looked at the hand in a daze for a long time, and then suddenly reacted and slapped it, grinning, "I accept it!" ”

Bai Sa stood to the side, looking at this scene and was slightly stunned, "...... Dethroned Envoy? ”

Shen Ruyu met his gaze with a smile, raised her finger at him and pressed it to her lips, "Shhhhh

She made a low-key gesture and said with a smile: "Weifu private interview, thank you for your cooperation." ”

Bai Sa looked at her with a gloomy face and did not speak.

As a result, when I went out, I not only brought back a pot of signature jujube wine, but also included an excited "martial arts master".

It's just that Shen Ruyu still needs to stay in Qizhou for a while, and Kong Qingyang still lives in Yunshuifang for the time being...... By the way, brush the plate.

Seeing that Kong Qingyang couldn't think of Yunshuifang and the Bai family at first, he knew that Yunshuifang was not the Bai family's industry before.

And an old store like Yunshuifang is generally impossible to transfer to outsiders, especially when it has a signature technology, and now the Yunshuifang jujube wine that Bai Sa took over is still there, which shows that even the core secret recipe has been transferred.

With such an expansion speed and wrist, it is no wonder that Bai Sa's name will appear in the list that Song Jin gave her.

——After stabilizing the intelligence network in the capital, Song Jin is trying to expand outward year by year, which is a bit difficult, but fortunately, the rear has a strong background, so although the progress is slow, it is still very stable and gradually weaves up the network, as the veins become denser year by year, the scope is wider, and it has been slightly effective.

Song Jin may not quite understand the evaluation criteria for "suspicious people" mentioned by Shen Ruyu, so he marked all the people who are "different from ordinary people" and paid attention to them.

And in a certain sense, "different from ordinary people" means "different from ordinary people" - it can also be understood as a person with outstanding talents who are by no means mediocre.

There are not many people on this list, but all of them are carefully selected "suspicious people" - geniuses, talents, ghosts, outstanding medical skills, seven-step poetry, shocking dancing skills, and particularly scoundrel leaders......

Among them, Bai Sa is the only male.

Men who are not married at the age of twenty-five are rare in this era - the most famous is probably the current Ninety-Five Supreme, Li Cong.

It's just that although it is said that it is good at the top, it must be very bad at the bottom, but it is estimated that no one wants to surpass this record of being unmarried at an advanced age.

And Bai Sa's father died early, and his mother gave birth to three sons and two daughters, but most of them died young, leaving only Bai Sa and his eldest sister.

It's a pity that the good times didn't last long, Bai Sa's sister suddenly died of a sudden illness, and the Bai family's housemother couldn't stand the blow, and she was bedridden.

Then, Bai Sa, who was only sixteen years old at the time, took over all the family business of the Bai family, and then dragged the Bai family back with a sleek and strong hand and a decisive and neat style.

Such a "strong man" is really admirable. It's just that the current mainstream aesthetics are gentle and introverted, middle-class and mediocre men, such a powerful and rigid man, admiration and admiration, but no one wants to marry - although he doesn't seem to be ready to marry, besides, the Bai family's huge family business is there, I'm afraid that even if it is married, it will be recruited.

I don't know if people praised him or ridiculed him, and gave him the name of "Tie Langjun", which was widely circulated.

However, with such a fate, Shen Ruyu could realize that he was not a person who had crossed over.

It's just that I didn't expect to meet the people on the list so early, and I also had intersections with people I knew, Shen Ruyu felt a little wonderful.

Sure enough, the theorem of no more than seven people between any person in the world, even in ancient times, was the same?

Shen Ruyu and his party returned to the inn with a lot of harvest, and found that the maid of the Shen family was waiting at the door with a strange woman, and when they saw Shen Ruyu, the maid of the Shen family hurriedly saluted.

Wang Zijun seemed to know that they must have something bad to do in front of outsiders, so he immediately grabbed Wen Ming and Mingxi, completely ignored Wen Ming and Mingxi's protests with a smile, and pushed them to take the first step, "Starve to death, starve to death, let's go order first, Ruyu, come quickly!" ”

"Okay." Shen Ruyu stopped at the door with a smile, and then the maid of the Shen family respectfully presented the stack of letters she was holding in her hand.

"Third lady," the Shen family servant seemed to be a little jealous of the woman standing not far from her, she lowered her head and spoke softly to Shen Ruyu, and subconsciously lowered her voice, as if she felt that in this way, the other party would not be able to hear. "A letter from the head of the house."

Shen Ruyu was slightly stunned and took it. “…… Okay, I got it. ”

The maid of the Shen family glanced at her without saying anything, and finally saluted again and turned to leave.

As if she was waiting for the maid of the Shen family to finish her work, and when she handed over the letter and left, the strange woman stepped forward, she also bowed, and took out a letter from her sleeve. “…… Miss Ruyu, Majesty Xià private message. ”
