Although the three tripod armor was ordered by the emperor himself, there were one or two hundred people in the examination, and it was impossible for the emperor to check them one by one, so the test papers of the palace examination were reviewed by the Hanlin Academy, and finally the ten articles with the most "o" were presented to the emperor. After the emperor pointed out the three tripod armors, the rest of the articles were reviewed by the officials of the Hanlin Academy.

Li Xuan's performance is normal, he writes well, and his ranking should not be too low, if it can stabilize within fifty, it should not be difficult for Tong Jinnan to stay in the capital. After handing in the papers, he went home and waited for news, and three days later, news came from the palace that Li Xuan was in the third rank of the second class. This achievement does not require Tong Jinnan to use his relationship, and Li Xuan can stay in Beijing properly. Sure enough, after the court examination, Li Xuan was named a Hanlin Shuji and stayed in Beijing.

When Tong Shuyan heard this, there was no longer any turmoil in his heart, and he just said hello lightly. And Li Xuan stayed in Beijing as an official, so naturally he could no longer live in Tong's house, so it didn't take long for her to hear that Li Xuan had rented a courtyard in the east of the city.

On the day he moved out, Tong Shuyan didn't send it, just sat in the room where he lived in a daze. She sat down at the table with her eyes down, and suddenly a shadow came in front of her, and her heart jumped, but she didn't dare to look up.

"I ...... There's something left on the bed, I'll come and get it. He looked at her and said in a deep voice.

She raised her eyes, barely smiled, and hummed softly.

Li Xuan walked past her and found the book next to the pillow, and when he looked back at her, she was still sitting there. He felt uncomfortable in his heart, and wanted to say something, but he felt that it was unnecessary. After taking the book, he said to her: "Thank you for taking care of these days, you will leave first, you take care." ”

She only felt as if her heart was being pinched tightly by someone, and the pain was so painful that she couldn't speak, and she didn't dare to look up at him.

Seeing that she was silent, Li Xuan didn't say anything more, turned around and left.

Listening to his footsteps moving away, she felt sour in her heart, and squeezed her hand tightly, for fear that she would not be able to restrain herself and rush up to hug him. She took a deep breath and looked down at the ground, and the tears fell unexpectedly, smashing a hole in the ground.

I thought it was a love affair, but I didn't think it was fate.

……

At the Qionglin banquet, Li Xuan saw Gu Qihuai and Zhang Yi, the two of them talked and laughed and didn't take him seriously at all, Li Xuan didn't care, after all, these two are young people, and it is normal to look down on him, especially Zhang Yi, the twenty-year-old Tanhualang, at that time, everyone called Wenqu Xing to go down to earth.

And inherited the shadow of Tong Jinnan, and the people in Hanlin Academy were also polite to him. After three rounds of drinking, Xiang Wang Yang pulled Li Xuan aside and said in a low voice: "Before you enter the Hanlin Academy, the impeachment of you has already come to me." ”

Li Xuan's heart sank, but he also knew who wrote it, if Rao Chengwen accused him of cheating in the original science field, he himself would not be able to escape responsibility, so the reason for his impeachment was probably that he had too close contacts with Tong Jinnan, formed a party for personal gain, and so on. But these sins are unwarranted, otherwise Wang Yang would not have told him alone.

"Impeach a student for what?"

"I want to stop my wife and remarry."

Hearing this, Li Xuan was almost laughed at angrily, if he really stopped his wife and remarried, there is still the meaning of impeachment, what does "want to stop his wife and remarry" mean?

"This is originally a crime to be added, and I don't know where you offended the people in the court, although it is not a big deal, but if you want to make trouble with Your Majesty, talking about your relationship with Tong Shangshu, it is inevitable that you will be accused of having a close personal relationship and forming a party for personal gain, and then you may be demoted before you take office."

"Please also ask Xiangguo to help you with one or two."

"The old man will help you suppress this matter first, and don't have too close contact with Tong Shangshu for the time being."

Li Xuan responded and told Tong Jinnan about this in private, Tong Jinnan just smiled, "Rao Chengwen just likes to do some things like flies and dogs, he is not aimed at you, he is coming for me, you don't need to be afraid of him if you do your thing." ”

Zhang Jin didn't care about it afterwards, but he was sorry for Tong Shuyan, after all, this matter was not good for her reputation, but it couldn't be made up, so he didn't mention it. It's just that if you don't take your wife over, I'm afraid that such rumors will only increase.

Thinking like this, he remembered Qi Chuyu, the family letter of the good news had just been sent for half a month, even if she came without delay, it would be a month or two later. At the beginning, he went out in a negative mood, but I don't know if she is angry now, and she probably has to pay for half a day to be careful. Thinking of everything after entering Beijing, he also felt sorry for her.

Let's say that Li Xuan entered the Hanlin Academy, studied scriptures and lectures with others all day long, and lived a leisurely life. On this day, someone from the Metropolitan Procuratorate came to Li Xuan, saying that someone had accused him of abandoning his wife and asked him to go to the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

Everyone felt inexplicable when they heard this, Li Xuan only mentioned a few days ago that he wanted to bring his father and wife to Beijing, how could anyone sue him for abandoning his wife and children? They all asked, "Did you all get it wrong?" ”

"There are indeed people who come to petition, and we also act in accordance with the charter, please ask Li Hanlin to go over and ask a question, if there is a misunderstanding, we will send the person back in person."

Everyone wanted to say something, but Li Xuan waved his hand and was willing to go over with the people of the Metropolitan Procuratorate to see what was going on.

Although Li Xuan could guess that this matter was Rao Chengwen's handiwork, after all, he was the imperial history of Zuodu, and nothing could be found.

When Li Xuan arrived at the yamen of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, he saw a woman in an apricot-colored dress standing with him on her back, and his heart sank, Qi Chuyu actually entered Beijing by himself?

He glanced at his wife, and bowed to the people sitting in the hall, "I've seen my lord." ”

Zuo Yushi, who was sitting in the hall, nodded, "Li Hanlin, offended." ”

Seeing Li Xuan nodding, he heard Yu Shi say: "Li Xuan, someone sued you for abandoning your wife, is there anything wrong?" ”

Li Xuan frowned slightly, "No." ”

It's about coming over for questioning, how did you make it so formal? He has such a big stain before he becomes an official, which will definitely affect his future career, and it seems that Rao Chengwen is bound to kick him out of Beijing this time.

"Do you know the people in the hall?"

Li Xuan glanced at his wife and found that she was slightly fat, probably pregnant, and he couldn't help but smile, "This is the Humble Jing Qi Clan." ”

"Qi, do you know this person?"

Qi glanced at Li Xuan and nodded.

"The Qi clan sued you for not hearing from you after entering Beijing, and I heard that you wanted to stop your wife and remarry, is this true?"

"My lord Mingjian, in February, I sent back a letter to my family, and after the end of the exam, I also wrote a letter to report the good news, but the capital is long away from Qingping Mountain, and it is common for the family letter not to arrive in time, and the clumsy Jing probably misunderstood......

"Sir, don't take his word for it, the little woman hasn't received any letters from home."

"Chu Yu!" Li Xuan looked at her with a surprised expression, "Don't talk nonsense!" ”

Qi Chuyu glared at him fiercely, and turned to look at Yu Shi Dao: "My lord, the little woman was found in the capital by herself, and I found out in the capital that he had a good relationship with Tong Shangshu, and Tong Shangshu took him as an apprentice and wanted to marry his daughter to him." ”

"Tong Shangshu has the grace of knowing me, you have to talk nonsense!" He looked at her with some incredulity.

Zuo Yushi patted the shocked wood unhappily, "This is not the place for your husband and wife to quarrel. ”

Li Xuan turned around and saluted to Zuo Yudu's imperial history, "My lord, if you want to abandon and remarry, how can you admit that she is your wife?" Clumsy Jing Xu was misled, so he will report here, and please let your Excellency know it. ”

Qi Chuyu didn't even know a few words, how did he know that he came to the Metropolitan Procuratorate to sue him? She resolutely didn't say anything, and what she said was reasonable, even Tong Jinnan pulled it out, isn't this being used by Rao Chengwen?

"Li Xuan, you are a dignified five-foot man, how dare you dare to do it, the matter of you and Miss Tong's outing is well known, and now the paper can't hold the fire, you told me that it was a misunderstanding?"

The corners of Li Xuan's eyebrows twitched when he heard this, and he said with a cold face: "In front of Lord Yushi, Hugh has to talk nonsense!" ”

Qi Chuyu glared at him fiercely, and then looked at Zuo Du Yushi and said, "I implore my lord to make decisions for the little woman for the sake of the little woman!" As he spoke, he knelt down.

Zuo Du Yushi was so frightened that he stood up, Li Xuan's eyes were quick, he helped the person up, and said patiently: "Madam, I know that you have a grudge against me when you left home that day, but this is a family matter, so you can't make trouble here, so it's better to go home with me quickly." ”

Qi Chuyu looked at him with a resentful expression, "Hugh wants to find these reasons to prevaricate me!" Instead, he said, "My lord, don't be deceived by him. ”

Zuo Yushi also had a head and two big, frowned and said: "Born in the world, virtue comes first, since Li Hanlin has no intention of abandoning his wife, why did he have a private meeting with Miss Tong's family, and the whole city knows about it?" This matter is detrimental to the reputation of Hanlin, and the official does not dare to judge it easily, and this matter is handed over to the Holy Lord for decision. Retire! ”

Hearing this, Li Xuan's heart jumped, and he hurriedly shouted: "My lord, why bother Your Majesty with such a trivial matter? ”

But Zuo Yushi was not ready to listen to his explanation at all, and left in a hurry.

The whole thing, whether it is the reason for suing him or the result of the trial, is too far-fetched, especially when he said in court that he and Tong Shuyan went on to adulthood. Kicking him out of Beijing is a small matter, Tong Shuyan's reputation is a big deal, Tong Jinnan must also be implicated, Rao Chengwen's move is really yin!

After Zuo Yushi left, he glanced at his wife, and Qi Chuyu also looked at him with resentment. He sighed in his heart, but he also said to her in a harmonious voice: "Let's go, let's go home first, and I'll explain to you when we get home." ”

Qi Chuyu snorted coldly, supported his waist and left first, he had to follow carefully behind him.

When she returned home, Li Xuan didn't rush to ask her if someone had instructed her to go to the Metropolitan Procuratorate, but first asked her where she lived before, sent someone to bring the salute, and asked if she had worked hard along the way, how many months the child had been, and so on.

"Yo, now you're worried that the child isn't yours? You left home quietly, and there was such a peachy incident, why don't you want to think that I am alone at home, dealing with your aunt and eldest brother? Qi Chuyu said sarcastically.

Hearing this, Li Xuan's brows furrowed, even if his temper was good, he couldn't stand it, and said unhappily: "You can say anything about me, why bother to practice yourself?" Miss Tong is still a girl who has not yet come out of the cabinet, you have made a lot of trouble in the city, so how will people see people in the future? ”

"Do you know that you feel sorry for her now? Why do you want to travel with her when you know she's a girl who hasn't left the cabinet? Is it me who makes a fuss all over the city, or are you doing it yourself, if she can't get married, you will also be harmed. ”

Li Xuan knew that he was at a loss, and he didn't want to talk to her more, so he had to take advantage of tomorrow's rest time to go to Zuo Du Yushi and ask him not to report this matter.

"Hello to rest at home, I have something to do when I go out." He said in a deep voice.

Hearing this, Qi Chuyu snorted coldly, "Are you going to have a private meeting with your little lover?" ”

Li Xuan glared back at her, and finally said angrily: "Take care of your stinky mouth!" ”

Hearing this, Qi Chuyu suddenly cried out aggrieved and scolded: "Li Xuan, you have no conscience, I am supporting your home in Qingping, and I came all the way to look for you while pregnant, and you are not distressed at all!" I'm telling you, even if you were to marry that little hoof, she would be a concubine! ”

Li Xuan clenched his fists tightly, for fear that he couldn't help it for a while, and hit her shrewd-like face, "Qi Chuyu, I warn you one last time, clean your mouth for me, you stay at home well, don't go out and stab me Louzi!" With that, he turned and went out.

Qi Chuyu had tears in his eyes, he was afraid that Li Xuan would be really angry, and he didn't dare to say anything, so he could only watch him go out and be helpless.
