Chapter 103: Calculation

He Wenchang got down from the sedan chair and stood outside the Wenchang Building as if thinking about something, so he stood motionless at the door until the servant next to him called a few times before he came back to his senses.

"Master, it's time to go in, I'm afraid the two masters of the Xue family have already arrived."

"Got it, you're waiting outside." He Wenchang said, and finally walked upstairs.

Wenchang Building is the property of the Xue family, and there is a special room upstairs that is reserved for the Xue family, with an excellent view, and you can almost take in the scenery of the entire Nanyang City. Xue Huaitao was drinking against the window with a wine glass, while Xue Huaiyi sat quietly at the table motionless with his eyes closed.

He Wenchang buckled the door outside the door, and then pushed the door in, seeing that only the second and third rooms of the Xue family were in the house, He Wenchang bowed and saluted the two of them.

"Lord He has worked hard, sit down." Xue Huaitao said with a smile.

He Wenchang didn't dare to say anything, then found a place to sit down, looked at Xue Huaitao and asked, "I don't know what the two of you have to do with me He?" ”

Xue Huaitao didn't make a sound, but turned his head to look at Xue Huaiyi, who was closing his eyes and recuperating on the side, thought for a while and said, "I don't have anything urgent here, the main thing who is looking for you today is my younger brother." ”

He Wenchang looked at Xue Huaiyi with some doubts, he didn't know what the other party was looking for him, and it stands to reason that he didn't have much contact with the third room of the Xue family.

Xue Huaiyi also opened his eyes at this time, only to see the other party glance at He Wenchang and said, "There is something to discuss when I came to Lord He today, I heard that the second brother found a few top exams from you?" ”

Frowning, He Wenchang was a little displeased. It's a thing to do, but it's very uncomfortable to say it so bluntly. Seeing He Wenchang's face cold, Xue Huaitao hurriedly said: "Third brother, my brother is doing this, and Lord He is just helping me in the face of my father, do you have any thoughts on this matter?" ”

"I want a few spots too." Xue Huaiyi said straightforwardly.

Xue Huaitao was a little embarrassed at the moment, this matter is not easy to do, if there are fewer people, it is easy to say, once there are more people, there will be an accident. He Wenchang's thoughts are the same as Xue Huaitao's meaning, originally the second master of the Xue family was in trouble here, but now this is to help you Xue Huaiyi again, even if I He Wenchang is good at talking, I am not a descendant of your Xue family.

But Xue Huaiyi didn't seem to realize this, he just looked at the two of them coldly and said, "I want the quota, no, second brother, you can even a few of me." ”

Xue Huaitao frowned slightly, his dignity as the second brother was worthless in Xue Huaiyi, but in this way Xue Huaitao didn't dare to tear his face, because his third brother was very popular with his father, and he was a little worse than him.

After carefully calculating, Xue Huaitao gritted his teeth and said, "Five at most, no more." ”

He Wenchang glanced at Xue Huaitao in some surprise, knowing that these five places are not small, this took away half of the places in Xue Huaitao's hands.

"Six." Xue Huaiyi said lightly.

Xue Huaitao gritted his teeth and pondered for a long time, and then said, "That's it." Although he is Xue Huaiyi's second brother, he is still inferior to this younger brother in terms of the power of the family, relying on the favor of the ancestor in the family, even the Xue family's room is not in his eyes.

Especially in recent years, since Xue Huaiyi's child died, Xue Huaiyi's temper has become more and more weird, and he often gets angry without warning, so Xue Huaitao feels terrifying just thinking about it.

During the negotiation, the two brothers did not ask He Wenchang's opinion at all, so it was finalized, although he felt a little uncomfortable, but He Wenchang could only choose to be patient.

After determining their respective quotas, Xue Huaiyi turned his head to look at He Wenchang, only to see Xue Huaiyi stretch out his hand towards He Wenchang and said, "Bring something." ”

He Wenchang hesitated, took out the envelope in his sleeve and handed it to Xue Huaiyi. Taking the letter from He Wenchang's hand, Xue Huaiyi unfolded the letter with a flick of his wrist.

This is a list, a list of candidates for this year's Nanyang City Spring University Examination, a total of 150 people. Among them, the name marked in red is the person Xue Huaitao took from himself this year, Xue Huaiyi picked up the brush and thought about it carefully, and crossed out five of the names on it, this is the person he wants.

Seeing Xue Huaiyi looking at the list carefully, He Wenchang couldn't help but be a little nervous, worried that Xue Huaiyi would find any clues. Time passed very slowly, and I don't know how long it took, and the tea in the teacup in front of He Wenchang became cold.

"Lord He, this list doesn't seem right." Xue Huaiyi squinted at He Wenchang.

"Xue Sanye, this list is the name of all candidates in Nanyang this year, the official has checked it several times, and there will be no mistakes, please rest assured that Xue Sanye is here." He Wenchang said, but he was a little nervous.

"Naturally, I'm not doubting Lord He's ability, it's just that there's something missing from this list." Xue Huaiyi patted the letter paper in his hand.

"Then Xue Sanye pointed out what went wrong." It seems that the problem is that there is no way to avoid it.

"There's one less person on this list." Saying that, Xue Huaiyi picked up the pen and added a name to the paper, Xue Huaitao leaned over and took a look at it with some curiosity, only to see that the name written by Xue Huaiyi was Chai Yang.

Xue Huaitao was stunned for a moment, but after thinking about it, he didn't say anything, and drank wine alone. Seeing that Xue Huaiyi's name was Chai Yang, He Wenchang planned to make a final effort.

"Third Master Xue, Chai Yang will not be out of the exam this year."

"Oh? Such a talent is really the talent of my great Zhou humerus, isn't it a waste to just leave it at home? Lord He, too, there are signs of jealousy. ”

Xue Huaiyi's smiling appearance made He Wenchang's heart cold, Xue Huaiyi's words just now were just a cover, according to his temperament, if he hadn't taken care of his face, Chai Yang would have died eight hundred times.

"This official doesn't have this kind of thought, but he just thinks that Chai Yang is still young and his experience and knowledge accumulation are not enough, so he persuaded him not to go on a scientific examination this year, so as not to delay his future." He Wenchang explained.

"I have the third master to protect me, what if I don't have enough knowledge, add it, I can also call us the first genius in Nanyang." Xue Huaiyi waved his hand and said.

He Wenchang's heart was cold, and he couldn't help but feel a little bitter. A sad thought flashed in his mind, such a good seedling, still not protected, and now it is all destroyed.

Only a few people know about the entanglement between the third room of the Xue family and the Chai family, and outsiders only say that the Chai family itself was defeated, but only a few people know that the Chai family has fallen to this end is led by Xue Huaiyi. Now that the entire Chai family is left with Chai Yang and his sister relying on each other, He Wenchang originally thought that the Xue family had already done this step, but he never thought that he would not plan to stay.

No wonder there are rumors in the Xue family that Xue Huaiyi is the one who misses the ancestor of the Xue family the most. It's really cold-blooded and ruthless, and you will be repaid. He Wenchang sighed and said, "I'll talk to Chai Yang." ”

"There's Lord Laohe." Xue Huaiyi smiled and said.

In the small courtyard of the Chai family in the bamboo forest, Chai Yang flicked the wolf hair hanging on the pen holder for a while, supported his head with one arm, and sighed from time to time.

Putting the tea in front of Chai Yang, Chai Ling'er saw Chai Yang like this, thought about it and persuaded: "Brother, don't be annoyed, Lord He also means it for your good." ”

"I know." Chai Yang said in a low voice.

"Knowing that you still look like this, it's not easy for Lord He to mention you, don't forget that he is a member of the Xue family." Chai Yang naturally knew what He Wenchang meant, he was nominally his disciple, and it stands to reason that he would not miss the current University of Science and Technology exam no matter what, and not to mention whether he was willing to take the exam, even as a teacher, he would encourage students to give it a try.

But a few days ago, He Wenchang found himself to let himself give up this spring exam, although the reason was not sufficient, but the meaning between the lines is that a fool can understand that the Xue family still has not forgotten himself, and going to the exam for a few years will only fall into the arms of the Xue family, and he will not know how to die when he dies.

For the sake of insurance, skipping this scientific expedition and waiting for a few years to let the Xue family dilute their impression a little is a good plan, but this time the Spring Festival Dachaiyang has been preparing for too long, so how can he be willing to give up like this.

"I know you're a little unwilling, but if you think about our parents, it was the same at the time, but if you lower your head, you won't end up like this." Chai Linger couldn't help but feel a little sad when she thought of the past, it was all because of her own family that she became like this, her father and mother were like this, and now even her brother was involved.

Chai Yang saw that Chai Ling'er was not in a high mood, so he cried out and said: "What do you say you are doing this, what you do is what you do, and when did my father and brother say that I regret it?" Put away your tears, don't cry, it's none of your business. ”

Chai Ling'er wiped her tears and nodded. Seeing this, Chai Yang said: "I have promised Master He about the matter, I will not participate in the Spring Exam, you can rest assured." ”

Chai Ling'er listened, burst into tears and laughed, and finally persuaded her, she was afraid that her brother would not listen to Lord He's words, and she would take the liberty of participating in the scientific examination, and it would be really troublesome to meet the Xue family when the time came.

Chai Yang didn't know that Xue Huaiyi had written his name on the list at the moment, and he was chatting with Chai Ling'er there.

After a while, he will go to Yuzhou, Lin Yuan has been very busy in the capital these days, in addition to going around the house, most of the time is spent on Li Qingqian. At this moment, Lin Yuan was sitting opposite Li Qingqian eating food, and after glancing at Li Qingqian, Lin Yuan asked, "Why didn't you see Wang Lingyu come to eat today?" ”

Since getting a free meal ticket here in Li Qingqian, Wang Lingyu has to come to eat every other day, Lin Yuan has encountered many times during the period, but Miss Wang is not afraid of Lin Yuan at all, every time she eats the most expensive dishes in front of Lin Yuan's noodles, and because of Wang Lingyu's appearance, Li Qingqian has returned to the past The kind of busy daily turn, after all, Wang Lingyu cooks more often, but Li Qingqian has a more fulfilling life.

"I sent someone to spread the news early in the morning, saying that I would not come today because of an emergency." Li Qingqian said with a smile.

"In that sense, I'm stained with her today, right?" Lin Yuan looked at the sumptuous meal in front of him and said with a smile.

Li Qingqian smiled, gave Lin Yuan some food, and said, "Eat yours, you can't stop eating." ”

Lin Yuan laughed and didn't speak, and when he was chatting happily with Li Qingqian, the door was suddenly pushed open, only to see Yu Shi walk in and say to Lin Yuan: "Young master, someone from the palace is waiting in the hall, saying that the emperor urgently summoned you to the palace." ”

Lin Yuan frowned and said, "I know, I'll go down immediately." ”

After speaking, he looked at Li Qingqian and said, "You are busy first, and I will leave first." ”; Li Qingqian nodded, Li Qingqian was no longer surprised by Lin Yuan's sudden call, but how could the people in the palace find here?
