Chapter 143: Fiancée
Lord Baili Qing, the secretary of the military department, asked him to invite all the students over according to the regent's wishes, but in fact, it was just to move this Lu Xiao to the military department or other positions, so that he would not be appointed by His Majesty to be a scholar of the middle school.
Therefore, what Lord Regent means is that as long as Lu Xiao has thoughts about the Zhongshu Sheren, as long as His Majesty hears that Lu Xiao himself does not have much desire for the position of Zhongshusheren but belongs to the military department or other positions. Therefore, Tian Baixing directly talked about the important incident of His Majesty to form an army, and also deliberately reminded Lu Xiao that entering the military department is likely to be reused by His Majesty, such a good thing is proposed, Tian Baixing feels that only a fool will be unwilling, and that Lu Xiao will definitely agree to enter the military department in the palace examination.
But Li Wei felt that Lu Xiao didn't seem to mean much about the military department. In this way, she can plan a suitable position for him.
Lu Xiao had already gone out of the door before he could react, thinking of the palace exam mentioned by the adult just now, in this way, he was already in high school, and he was undoubtedly in the top three.
Thinking of this, Lu Xiao was naturally happy, but he always felt that something was wrong. In previous years, there was no such thing as an examiner in the scientific examination, but this time the scientific examination was a little strange. However, if the imperial court feels that it is necessary to find out the candidate's intention before taking office, it is also possible, perhaps his majesty wants to recruit talents more accurately.
This thought was quickly overshadowed by the joy of high school. Lu Xiao was full of joy to himself, but he couldn't talk to his classmates, so he had to tell Donghua about it first. Donghua is naturally also happy, congratulating his master on being able to go to high school, but tomorrow is the release day, and he still has to wait to feel at ease.
After worrying all night, in the early morning of the next day, many students asked Lu Xiao to go outside the imperial city to wait for the release of the list.
The streets were full of people, swarming towards the outside of the imperial city.
When the official who reported the good news posted the list of emperors, the crowd cried and laughed.
"It's high school!"
"Lu Sheng, you are at the top of the high school list!"
Lu Xiao really came out on top, and was the first champion in the year of Beichen Xuyi.
In the crowd, some people cried and some laughed. Lu Xiao was surrounded by people who congratulated him, and the flower Wujin got a flower, and he was so happy that he was about to fly to the sky, and the scholar who was originally quite reserved was a little excited and a little tearful. Holding Lu Xiao's arm, he stood firmly.
"Lu Sheng, I'm in high school! It's still a flower exploration! Daddy and Mom know it, and it should be at ease. Woo - I can't believe that this thing is like a dream. Hua Wujin wiped a handful of tears as he spoke.
Lu Xiao patted him on the shoulder with satisfaction. "Brother Hua is talented, and there is no doubt about high school. This is only a literary test, and it must go through the palace test to officially determine the top three, and the heart should be relaxed first. ”
"But I've already entered the top three, no matter what, Xiaosheng is a top three! I'm so happy. Brother Lu, your talent is several days higher than that of your younger brother, and today you are at the top of the high school list, and you will definitely celebrate with your good students. ”
"That's nature."
An official came to congratulate the inscription, and then invited all the top three people to parade on the street.
Champions, Bangyan and Tanhua rode around Kyoto on a high-headed horse, and Kyoto City was very lively. Seeing that the champion Lang was handsome and boundless, and the list of eyes and Tanhua were young talents, he couldn't help but be more and more happy, the girl's family took some flowers and threw them over, and some of them directly sent the matchmaker to come over to say goodbye.
Hua Wujin hurriedly excused himself and said that he had already married, Bangyan was a cold-faced young man, and the girl did not dare to approach, and the remaining handsome Zhuangyuanlang was very popular because of his good looks, gentle temper, and no marriage match, and he was almost buried by the flowers.
The wandering was finally over, and the three of them were dragged to a party by many students. Congratulated by former classmates and friends, from today onwards the high and low are different positions, this day, I don't know how many people's fate is about to change.
Eat and drink. The ears were full of words of praise and envy, and the day passed like this.
Lu Xiao took the drunk Hua Wujin back to the mansion, and just got off the carriage, the guy woke up, laughed a few times, and climbed out of the carriage with a grunt. It turned out to be pretending to be drunk.
"It's really like a dream, Lu Sheng, I'll have to rely on you a lot in the future." Hua Wujin smiled and burped, and her face was slightly drunken.
"You're saying this early, and you haven't appointed an appointment yet."
"Is there still suspense? I became a relative as early as sixteen years old, and my sons are three years old, even if I am a tanhua now, where will there be an official lady who takes a fancy to me? But you are different, your looks and talents are so good, and there is no side room in the main room, how many young ladies of big officials want to marry you today, and they almost can't come back to you. In case you are attracted to the people of the princess's mansion, isn't the glory and wealth captured? ”
Seeing that his classmate who was so cautious and elegant in the past has become such a drunken and worldly appearance, Lu Xiao felt a little uncomfortable, everyone in the officialdom really wants to enter, but this is only one day, Hua Wujin was squinted by those flowery things, and he may not know what it will become in the future.
"I heard that the people from the princess's mansion are also here today, presumably to say goodbye to the lord of Fuyuan. Lu Sheng, you are not interested in that county lord? To be the in-laws of the princess's mansion is equivalent to stepping into the royal family! In the future, this official road will be smooth, and he may be able to rise as high as Master Ma. ”
Lu Xiao thought of Xiaowei, but suddenly felt that something was wrong, "The county lord of the princess's mansion, hasn't you decided to marry yet?" ”
"How can there be a marriage? The lord of Fuhui County is expensive, and he said that he would choose a relative for her after the scientific examination. There are many things like what princess is with the champion, isn't the thirteenth princess the champion of Ma Rongtian? ”
Lu Xiao's heart was a little cold for a moment, he and Donghua had always thought that Xiaowei was the lord of Fuyuan, and they hadn't even investigated these details, but now they found out that she was not her, and their hearts were suddenly empty and uncomfortable.
Who is Xiaowei?
Lu Xiao had been thinking about this question all night, and after a while of thoughts in his mind, he remembered what the examiner was asking him yesterday, and it seemed that there was a mention of the need for His Majesty to form a unique Praetorian Guard, and he suddenly remembered the bold idea that Xiao Wei had told him:
"Brother Lu Xiao, if I can call the shots, I will definitely equip Beichen with a special army. This army does not need to be too numerous, but all of them are equipped with special skills, after special training, equipped with the most advanced weapons and armor, as a being ready to be born and die for Beichen, as a national secret mission, they are different from the secret guards, they have their own organization and action. It can always protect the safety of Beichen. ”
At the time, he was just joking with her, "This army is much stronger than the Dark Guard." ”
"That's, it's special forces!"
Lu Xiao still remembers the pride and confidence when she said this. Whenever she talks about government affairs, she has such a free and convincing look. And he thought that those were all her jokes, but now that he thinks about it, it seems that they have come true.
What is the relationship between Xiaowei and the royal family? He always had a premonition of unease.
The next day, people came to report the good news, and those who were not close to them in the past also sent heavy congratulatory gifts, and the Lei family arrived at Lu Mansion as soon as possible. Carried the gift of eight large boxes.
The eldest master of the Lei family came to the door in person, and Lu Xiao did not dare to slack off.
Lei Jingya followed Master Lei over, and between the lines there was a hint of wanting to follow him.
Master Lei naturally knows his daughter's thoughts, he was originally on the sidelines, but now that Lu Xiao is at the top of the high school list, he will not stop it anymore, if he can have a capable son-in-law in the officialdom, their Lei family will also have a great help in the court, and they can take care of King Qi in the court.
"Congratulations to your nephew on being able to go to high school, the old man is happy for your father."
"Uncle has a heart."
The two exchanged a few polite words. Master Lei glanced around, and said seemingly unintentionally, "Look at your house, there are not many people, but now you are also a person with a head and a face, and someone has to take care of the chores in this backyard." ”
"Just have a butler watch over this." Lu Xiao didn't care, his expression was somewhat absent-minded.
"This housekeeper is a housekeeper, and he can manage some shallow silver things, but there are still some people who have to be managed by people in the backyard, and your mother has already gone. You haven't gotten married yet, and if you deal with the people of the court in the future, there will be more backyard chores, if you don't do it properly. It will affect the official luck. ”
"Thank you Uncle for the reminder."
After talking for most of the day, Master Lei found that Lu Xiaoxian's nephew didn't seem to be interested in his little daughter, but Jingya liked people dryly, which gave him a headache, and after staying for a while, he couldn't sit still. took the reluctant Lei Jingya to say goodbye.
After Lu Xiao sent the Lei family, he asked people to close the door of the mansion and refuse visitors.
Donghua asked, "But you want to go out?" ”
"Go to the Scarlet Fragrance Building."
"What are you going to do there?" Donghua thought for a moment, "Looking for Miss Li Wei?" ”
Lu Xiao didn't answer, but also acquiesced, and in a blink of an eye, he had already gone out of the gate. Donghua hurriedly chased after him.
"Childe, are you still not giving up?" Donghua also knows that his master likes other girls, but these three times and twice, the girls have already married and rejected the master, what hope does the master have?
In other words, Li Wei is reviewing the list of this batch of scientific expeditions with Guan Qianyi at the moment.
Her eyebrows and eyes were full of pleasure in capital letters:
"Lord Wang, Lu Xiao took the first place in the exam, and you lost! I have to agree to one condition. ”
Guan Qianyi didn't care, and glanced at the fold lightly, "You said that's it, what conditions." ”
"I haven't thought about it for a while, and I'll tell you when I'm done." In fact, Li Wei had already thought of the conditions, and wanted Guan Qianyi to agree to hand over Lu Xiao's tenure to her, but she felt that it was not time to say it now, because she wanted to know Lu Xiao's thoughts.
"Whatever you want." Guan Qianyi thought that she probably didn't have anything important to make him nod, except for Lu Xiao's appointment and dismissal, but he had already let the two departments deal with this matter, and it was impossible for Lu Xiao to get the position of Zhongshushe. The rest is nothing to be afraid of.
"Lord Wang, you've been looking for King Zongcheng recently? Is there anything I can help me with? Li Wei learned that he asked Cui Yan to step on someone in the Scarlet Mansion, so he asked.
Guan Qianyi was puzzled, "How do you know?" He instructed Cui Lei to do this secretly, and he didn't tell anyone else, and her southeast, northwest, and secret guards haven't been around for a long time, could it be that she has recently been released to stare at this king?
"Cui Yan sued sù me, is there a problem?" Li Wei thought that he didn't deliberately keep it secret, and Cui Yan was also his person.
His eyes sank slightly, "It's okay." ”
"You haven't said what you're looking for King Zongcheng to do? You and him are half-brothers, why do you have to see each other like this? Li Wei also recently learned that King Zongcheng turned out to be the son of Cha Guifei, the favorite concubine of Xiyu Kingdom, and when Guan Qianyi was abandoned, Cha Guifei happened to be pregnant with King Zongcheng. It is conceivable that after losing a son of Guan Qianyi, this Zongcheng King is much favored by the tea concubine.
"You don't have to pay attention to him."
"But I want to know, what if he wants to turn it against you?"
Knowing that she cared about herself, Guan Qianyi was relieved, "He doesn't have any ability, this king can handle it." ”
Seeing that he refused to speak, Li Wei didn't force him anymore, but instead sent the southeast, northwest and northwest secret guards to track down the information of King Zongcheng.
And at this moment, the two of them said that the king of Zongcheng was sneaking into the Scarlet Fragrance Building, and rushed into a room like a gust of wind.
A moment later, there was a shouting in that room, and Qi Mingfei rushed out in horror, just in time to run into Lu Xiao who came to the door.
Cui Yan was guarding outside the door, and immediately entered the room to arrest people at this moment, but Lu Xiao stopped Qi Mingfei, who was about to run away, "Where is Qi Gongzi going?" ”
Qi Mingfei was grabbed by Lu Xiao and couldn't break free, so he slapped his hand again, "You let go of this son!" How can a scholar have so much strength! Let go! I'm going to run away immediately! ”
"What's going on?" Lu Xiao grabbed his arm with one hand and didn't let him leave.
"Someone inside is going to chase and kill me, what are you stopping me from doing, help Ben Gongzi block it?" Qi Mingfei said this, listened carefully to the movement in the house, and found that the sudden sound of fighting was gone. Could it be that Cui Yan subdued King Zongcheng?
Qi Mingfei wanted to get closer to the room to listen to the movement, but glanced at Lu Xiao with disgust and motioned for him to let go.
Lu Xiao didn't want to stop him, but he had something to ask him, and when he saw that Qi Mingfei couldn't run away, he let go.
Qi Mingfei listened to it for a while, and felt that something was wrong, but thinking of the strange martial arts path of the man in red, if he was caught back, where would he be able to escape, forget it, it was better to run away and hide.
As soon as he ran out on the front foot, Lu Xiao followed on the back foot.
"Eh no, I said what are you doing with Ben Gongzi?" Don't be this boy dodged one and was followed by another, right? Qi Mingfei rushed into another room unhappily, and Lu Xiao also entered when the door was closed.
Lu Xiao said, "Lu has something I want to ask you." ”
"What's the matter?" Qi Ming flew to the bench and sat down, "Don't ask about any girl again." ”
Lu Xiao was stunned for a moment, and Qi Mingfei couldn't help but exclaim, "It can't really be about the girl's family, right?" Well, I mean, don't ask me about these things. Although I am a self-proclaimed love expert, I can't be pestered by you men every time and ask about other girls, right? ”
Qi Mingfei was annoyed, this King Zongcheng has been chasing him too hard recently, just because he wants to find a female baby who is similar to him, and now even this seemingly gentle jade-faced scholar is the same, can he be regarded as a matchmaker?
"It's not another girl's business." Lu Xiao said seriously.
Qi Mingfei was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly realized, "I want to ask about our sister Wei'er?" Let's talk about it, if you have any doubts, you will answer them one by one. (To be continued.) )
