The silver hairpin was inserted, and Qing Shu turned around, "What's wrong?" ”

Mother Su replied, "Miss, the eldest lady intends to take Master Fu back to the village. However, the eldest lady felt that Dagujia Village might not be able to accommodate them, saying that Master Fu had offended several clan uncles in the village before going to the capital. The eldest lady asked the young lady if she could take Master Fu back to her mother's village? ”

Qing Shu looked displeased, "They are living their days by themselves, and they are not for me, ask me what to do?" The mother-in-law who passed the word is available? ”

Su's mother replied carefully, "Yes, I'm waiting for Miss's words." She knew that the young lady would be angry when she heard it. However, if Master Fu and the others can leave the town, the young lady's ears will be able to calm down a little, and there will be no need to hear the troubles on the other side from time to time.

"Sue her, where they want to go is their own business, their own life is their own, outsiders can't make up their minds for them."

"Yes." Su's mother responded, but she struggled with a face, and she didn't retreat when she wanted to speak.

Qing Shu felt strange, "If you have something, just say it." ”

"Miss, the eldest lady wants Young Master Jia to go to the academy in Jinyang City to study, but she has no way to achieve her wishes. She...... She heard that Mr. Lu, who taught the young master, was very famous and a famous teacher, so she wanted to ask the young lady, can you ask Mr. Lu to call the young master Jia one or two? ”

Qing Shu twisted his eyebrows, "What did you say?" ”

Su's mother replied carefully, "Young Master Jia wants to participate in the scientific examination, what is it called Qiu, saying that there is no famous teacher to recommend him, I am afraid that he will not be able to participate." ”

Qingyang, who had been sitting quietly on the side, spoke, "It's Qiuyu." This year, there is an autumn festival once every three years, which is attended by Xiucai from all over the world. ”

Mother Su's face bloomed with a smile, "Yes, yes, that's what I said, the old slave forgot about it." Then she said proudly, "The young master is knowledgeable, he knows everything, and he will definitely be able to come back with a top prize in the future." ”

Qingyang was embarrassed to be praised, and clarified with a slightly red face, "Mr. is a really learned person, I can't even write articles well, I don't know anything about anything, and I'm far away from participating in the scientific examination!" ”

Hearing this, Mother Su smiled from ear to ear, "Oh, young master, you still say that you are not educated, look at it, you know Qian...... Modest...... Ouch, in short, the young master will definitely be able to come back with a top prize. She wanted to say that she was modest, but she couldn't say it again.

Qingyang was not shy, but said seriously, "If you don't take the top prize, Mr. said that you can't take the top prize." ”

Su's mother was stunned when she heard this, "Huh? ”

Qing Shu, who laughed at the interaction between them, was also stunned.

Qingyang's expression changed, and he sat up straight in his chair, just like in Mr. Lu's class. His eyes lit up and he replied with a serious face, "Sir said that it is not fun to be admitted to the top prize at all. The champion is to be the princess's father-in-law, not to be an official, not to travel far away, to eat and drink and to be managed, and the days are boring. ”

Everyone present was dumbfounded. Even Su's mother was stupid and forgot to remind her master not to talk nonsense.

Qingyang continued, "Mr. said, the list eye can't be examined, the position of the list eye is very hanging, if the champion of the year is not elegant, and the princess must choose the princess, it must be the list eye." ”

Qing Shu twitched the corner of his mouth, thinking that it was fortunate that he didn't drink water, otherwise he would have choked if he didn't spray. She asked angrily, "What about Tanhua?" Is it impossible to take the Tanhua test? ”

In an instant, Qingyang eyebrows danced and said, "Tanhua is the best, if you want to take the test, you can test Tanhua." There are champions and lists in front, and the position of Tanhua is the best. Mr. said that for the candidates who take the Tanhua exam, all of them are selective. If you want to enter the court as an official, if you want to soar in your career, you have the best chance of exploring flowers and the top ten of the second class, of which Tanhua is the best. ”

Is there such a statement? Qing Shu, who knew nothing about officialdom, asked, "Why is it best to explore flowers?" She asked so, but she was thinking: The rankings that prove the strength of candidates, such as champions, bangyan and tanhua, are not goods sold at a clear price in the market, which one you can get which one you want? Besides, this is an honor that the whole country may not be able to win even if they try their best, and who has the ability not to come back with the crown of champions?

Qingyang didn't know what Qing Shu was thinking, so he just took out the "theory" that Mr. Lu told them and said, "With the edge of the champion and the top spot, no one will be jealous of the Tanhua who is below them." On the other hand, even if he is a tanhua, he must be more knowledgeable than those who are ranked below him, and it is also easy to associate with others and be respected. ”

Qing Shu said casually with a black line on his face, "Don't tell me, Mr. was admitted to Tanhua back then." ”

Qingyang was excited, "My sister is so powerful, Mr. was admitted to Tanhua back then." ”

Qing Shu had a look of being struck by lightning. She just said it casually, and actually said it back. How does she think that this is an excuse made for himself by Mr. Lu, who failed to win the champion or the top spot?

Many days passed after this day, Qingshu suddenly remembered this and specially asked Zhou Boyan about Mr. Lu's imperial examination that year. Zhou Boyan didn't hide it from her, and told her everything he knew.

It turned out that Mr. Lu was only famous when he was young, and he easily obtained the qualification of showing talent, and he was promoted in the autumn examination, and then participated in the spring examination of the following year, and entered the palace examination along the way. Many people guessed that he was the champion laurel of the year, and there were rumors that 'the champion of the current department must be a horse'.

On the night of the first two days of the palace test, Mr. Lu, who stayed in the inn, couldn't fall asleep over and over, so he quietly climbed onto the roof of the inn, lay on it and drank a jar of daughter red weighing four pounds, and then got drunk and unconscious. Coincidentally, it rained that night, and as a drunkard, he was unaware of it and fell ill on the roof. On the day of the palace test, his fever subsided, but the wind and cold were not good. He had a very reasonable reason not to take the exam. What outsiders don't know is that the palace test is something he tried his best to avoid, because he got reliable news that "the champion of this department must be a concubine" is true. He also knew that the princess belonged to her, and the person she liked was also among the candidates, and she was still a talented candidate.

However, his master (Mr. Confucius) kicked him out of the inn and threatened to remove him from his disciples if he dared to miss the test. Only then did he participate in the palace examination with a depressed face. Seeing his appearance, I heard that many people's faces were not very good at that time, and the atmosphere in the temple was not very good. When I was sick but insisted on taking the test, I could have won the favor of others. But thinking of the reason for his illness, this favor was immediately greatly reduced.

In a not very wonderful atmosphere, the hand-picked champion was born, and the list eye was born, but it was not him. Tanhua's name was about to be announced, and the eunuch who announced the decree only had time to pronounce the surname Zhu, when a benevolent brother standing on his left suddenly fell to the ground and fell ill and died. (Later, he learned that the person who died suddenly was surnamed Zhu, and he had a heart disease since he was a child.) The doctor said that this person's feelings were fluctuating, and he was too excited to cause heart disease and sudden death. ）

Then, in an even less pleasant atmosphere, the eunuch re-announced the decree, and Tanhualang put his name on his head, Lu Xuanfang. When he received the order, he clearly wrote the six big words "How could it be me" on his face, which made the atmosphere in the hall more subtle.

A few days later, under the holy decree, the princess married this year's champion, and a month later. At the moment, he was not yet healed, and he was in a good mood to call his friends to drink. Everyone mistakenly thought that he was going to borrow wine to drown his sorrows when he missed the champion laurel, so they surrounded him and warned the inn's junior not to sell wine to him.

After that, the champion Lang, who was about to become a concubine, won the false title of the court, and the top ten of the list and the second class were all crowned officials. Those who rank below the top 10 of the second class will be inspected, and only after the inspection can they get an official and a half-job.

Probably the one above was very angry, as a tanhualang, he was left to dry and did not get any official position. Everyone thought he must have been hit hard and would definitely not be able to pick himself up for a long time after that. At this time, he handed over a love letter and said that he would return to his hometown to recuperate for a period of time, and by the way, he would fulfill his filial piety in front of his father and mother. The headache is almost accurate, and the meaning of hanging him in the end could not be more obvious.

As everyone expected, he left Beijing in a state of despair, who had lost a lot of weight, and was no different from the students who returned to their hometowns in despair after falling off the list.

It's just that after returning to his hometown, he couldn't stay with his father and mother for three months, and left a book to travel the world. After that, he wandered about like a loose horse, and his whereabouts were so erratic that even his father and mother did not know where he was at large. In this way, he became the only Tanhualang in the history of the Da'an Dynasty who did not have an official title.

Later, the first emperor ascended the throne when today's son ascended the throne. Now he intends to edict him to return to Beijing to take up his post, but the queen mother of that year does not allow it and strongly opposes it. Later, Gu Yunhu invited him to be a military advisor, which was also Gu Yunhu's private military advisor, and the imperial court did not seal him an official position. Therefore, he was able to leave after Gu Yunhu's death, and did not continue to stay in the barracks.

Many years have passed, and today has not dismissed the plan to call him back to Beijing. The influence of the Queen Mother on the current son is weakening, and it is impossible to say which day, when the son of today will disobey the will of the Queen Mother and call him back to Beijing.

I won't mention that for the time being. Ma wanted Gu Qingjia to worship Mr. Lu as a teacher, but Qing Shu refused.

Mr. Lu has his own ideas, he doesn't like to be restrained, and he can keep his temperament and stay in her house to teach Qingyang to read, not for the sake of her general's father's face. Mr. Lu accepted Luo Xiaorong, that was the face of Luo Shangshu; Accepting Chen Qiaojiang is to see the face of Governor Chen; accepted Hao, first, she asked for it, and second, he must have thought about something before he agreed.

She wouldn't open this mouth for Gu Qingjia, because Gu Qingjia was not her Qingyang. It is not wise to upset Mr. Lu for the sake of inconsequential people.

Su's mother stepped back and went back to the mother-in-law sent by the Ma family.

Qingyang avoided going outside.

Qing Shu changed his clothes and came out after taking care of them, "Let's go!" Take my sister to see Mr. Lu. ”

Qingyang was not in a hurry to leave, and after carefully looking at Qingshu's outfit, he asked, "Sister, wear your newly made clothes, either the goose yellow one or the tender green one." In Qing Shu's puzzled sight, he ran into the inner room and actually rummaged through Qing Shu's jewelry box. Soon, he took a golden step and shook it out, "Sister wears this, this looks good." "When Qingshu combed his hair just now, Su's mother was here, but he couldn't bear to express his opinion.

Qing Shu was extremely surprised, "Xiaoyang, why does my sister think you are a little weird?" ”

Qingyang's eyes were a little evasive, but he immediately became coquettish again, hugged her arm and shook it violently, "Put it on, sister wear it, sister is dressed up beautifully, Xiaoyang is happy, put it on, is it okay to wear it?" ”

Qing Shuhu looked at him suspiciously, but he didn't insist too much, "Okay, sister Dai." She sat in the chair in front of the dresser under Qingyang's happy gaze, looked at her combed bun in the bronze mirror, and then took the golden step handed by Qingyang and put it on her head, "How is it?" ”

Qingyang stretched out his hand and gently rubbed the fluttering butterfly on Jin Bu, and nodded with satisfaction, "Sister looks so good wearing it." Then he immediately urged his sister to change her clothes. What he knows, Ding Wuniang only made two new summer clothes for his sister yesterday, and his sister put them on for him to see, which is very beautiful.

Qing Shu was suspicious, but her brother was rarely going to arrange a mysterious event, and she didn't want to spoil his interest. So, she smiled and pinched his nose lightly, "Okay, you go out first, and my sister will change her clothes." ”

Qingyang agreed to go out, and did not forget to remind, "I want to wear new clothes, new clothes I tried yesterday." ”

Qing Shu felt funny, "I know, I know." She walked to the wardrobe, opened the wardrobe and took out the tender green one, stood behind the screen and changed the clothes on her body, and then went out to show Qingyang, who was waiting outside, "Is it good-looking?" ”

The sleeves were narrow at the top and wide at the bottom, and the lower they went, the wider they were, until the cuffs lined her arms were slender and beautiful. The collar is slightly lower than a winter coat, and her neck is long and beautiful. A corset embroidered with a vine motif in the same color as her clothes shows off her slender waist. The light, soft skirt hides the embroidered shoes on the feet. When she stretched out her arms and slowly turned around on the ground, her skirt bloomed like a flower, her wide sleeves fluttered like a fairy's feather robe, the golden butterfly on her head seemed to be flying, and the tassels under the butterfly drew a graceful arc in the air.

At this moment, Qingyang still can't describe the beauty of a woman, and every time he recalls this scene a few years later, he always thinks that his sister at that time is like a hazy and beautiful green picture scroll in the smoke and rain in the south of the Yangtze River. He looked up at Qing Shu and smiled, "Sister is so good-looking." ”

When he took Qing Shu's hand and walked into the courtyard where Zhou Boyan lived before, he still looked at Qing Shu and smiled from time to time.

Qing Shu, who couldn't cry or laugh, looked at the courtyard where someone had lived and raised his eyebrows, "Isn't it Mr. Lu who has something to do with me?" How did you get here? ”

Qingyang reluctantly let go of Qingshu's hand, "My sister pushed open the door and went in by herself, and Xiaoyang stayed outside, not letting others disturb her." ”

Qing Shuhu looked at him suspiciously, "Will Mr. Lu be in the house?" ”

Qingyang didn't look at Qing Shu with a dodgy gaze, turned around and ran, shouting in his mouth, "Sister will know when she opens the door." ”

Qing Shu didn't think about anything else, "If you prepare any traps to trick your sister, your sister will be angry, and she will screw your ears when she is angry." After she finished speaking, Xiaoyang had already disappeared. She shook her head, stepped forward, and pushed the door open without hesitation. When she saw the person standing in the room looking at her with a smile, she was stunned at first, and then threw herself on the person with a look of surprise.
