The blue-purple tassels are blocked in front of Lan Ziyi's eyes, as if there is nothing, and this hazy feeling adds a layer of unreality to the scenery outside the tassels. Lan Ziyi stared at the roof outside the gauze tent, the ceiling was pasted with wallpaper, and the wallpaper was painted with a variety of irregular but regular collection patterns, these patterns did not have any meaning, but the meaningless patterns had a seductive charm, it made people unconsciously in a daze, distracted, and invested in it, coupled with the hazy feeling brought by the tassel, Lan Ziyi felt that he had just entered another dream when he woke up.

Tsukiyamama asked on the side:

"Wei Hou, are you awake?"

The greeting from Yueshan interrupted Lan Ziyi's daze, he lay on the bed and turned his head and looked at Yueshanjian who was standing on the side. Yueshan was standing in the outside of the tent at this time, and beside her stood a row of ladies neatly, the maids were holding copper basins and kettles, mirror combs, obviously to serve Lan Ziyi to get up.

Seeing this, Lan Ziyi turned over and sat up, he smiled and teased Yueshan:

"You show up on time every day when I'm awake, how do you do that?"

Yueshan beckoned the ladies to come forward and wait for Lan Ziyi to wash, and she took the comb to comb Lan Ziyi's hair, she replied:

"The slave just wrote down the time when Wei Hou woke up every day and waited for the bed early."

Lan Ziyi smiled:

"You lied to me, I slept a few times until the morning, and when I woke up from a dream and went back to sleep, I didn't see you standing at the head of the bed. This time I woke up at a different time than before, Yue'er, how did you know that I woke up now? ”

Yueshan laughed when she heard this, and she said:

"A slave or a maid is a servant, and if she does not understand the habits of her master's life, then she should be punished. What Wei Hou asked was the lowly skills used by the servants, not what a gentleman should learn. ”

Lan Ziyi smiled:

"Yue'er, what you said is so reasonable, but you touched me so thoroughly, I always feel a little cold in my heart."

Yue'er smiled:

Wei Hou laughed again.

Lan Ziyi replied with a smile:

"yes, yes, I'm laughing again."

Then Lan Ziyi looked at the mirror in front of him and said:

"The diorama really shines clearly, how did you say the mirror was made?"

Yue'er didn't care about Lan Ziyi's question, she asked instead:

"Wei Hou, have you rested?"

Lan Ziyi said:

"It's okay, it's okay, this room sleeps very comfortably."

Then Lan Ziyi added:

"This is the first time I've slept in the palace."

Yue'er smiled:

"This is just the front hall, and if you have to say it, it is not in the palace. As long as Wei Hou sleeps comfortably, this is the bedroom where the slave and maid lived when they were still in the palace, and Wei Hou lived in good habits. ”

Lan Ziyi was a little surprised when he heard that this was the place where Yueshan lived before, he looked around again, and said as he looked:

"I feel that this hall has an indescribable sense of disobedience, and after you say this, I understand that the layout of the house here is according to the layout of the women's boudoir.

Yue'er, you live in a good place, much better than my kennel in Luoyan Pass. ”

Yue'er smiled:

Wei Hou laughed. However, this hall is indeed the most luxurious one in the Zhaoxian Gate Taicheng Guard Yamen, which is more spacious than the one where his father lives. ”

Lan Ziyi smiled:

"Yue'er, you are really the pearl of your father-in-law's palm, you live in a hall alone, I really embarrassed you last night when I occupied the dove's nest."

Yue'er sighed and said:

"Dad, he made it clear yesterday, no matter how good I live, no matter how much my old man cares for me, I am just a slave, Weihou, you are the master, this is your residence. And last night, Wei Hou just moved in, and didn't drive me away, why did he say that the magpie occupied the dove's nest? ”

Lan Ziyi laughed when he heard this, at this time Lan Ziyi was already dressed neatly, and after the ladies on the side were waiting to rinse their mouths, Lan Ziyi stood up, and he said:

"Let's go, let's go see Grandpa Yu."

Then, Lan Ziyi and Yueshan went out of the palace to the lobby of the Taicheng Wei Yamen where Father-in-law Yu was located, and those ladies stayed behind to clean up the house.

When he was about to arrive at the palace gate, Lan Ziyi asked Yueshan and said:

"Father-in-law had a rest last night?"

Moon Mountain Road:

"Dad, he stayed up all night last night, and I also slept with Wei Hou last night, and the specific situation is not clear."

While speaking, Lan Ziyi and Yueshan had already stepped into the lobby. At this time, only Father-in-law Yu sat alone in the Taichengwei hall, and there were a few sporadic Taichengwei distributed in the hall, and he knew that he was in charge of heralding orders when he looked at it.

Seeing Lan Ziyi coming in, several Taicheng guards bowed first. Father-in-law Yu was holding his head with his hands, leaning on the table to take a nap, Taichengwei's action woke him up, Father-in-law Yu saw that it was Lan Ziyi and Yueshan who entered the house, pinched the bridge of his nose and happily greeted the two of them:

"Come in, come in, I just have something to discuss with you."

Lan Ziyi and Yueshan walked in front of their father-in-law to salute, Lan Ziyi saw that Father-in-law Yu's face was pale, his eyes were dark, he must have been busy all night last night, and at the same time, there were scattered blood stains splashed on his body on the cuffs and placket of Father-in-law's cuffs, Lan Ziyi also understood what Father-in-law Yu was busy with last night.

Father-in-law Yu first asked Lan Ziyi to sit down, and then waved his hand to signal Taicheng Wei to go out, he rubbed his temples and sighed:

"Alas, old! Occasionally staying up late once in a while and feeling exhausted. “

Lan Ziyi said:

"My father-in-law is old after all."

Fair Fish:

"Let's get down to business. Ziyi, those boys have been recruited. “

Lan Ziyi subconsciously replied:

"Ziyi guessed."

Father-in-law Yu was stunned for a moment when he heard this, then looked down at his body, and found blood stains on the cuffs and placket, Father-in-law Yu laughed at himself:

"I'm so busy, I don't even have time to change my clothes."

Then he said to Lan Ziyi:

"Those boys have all recruited, and each of them spent 100,000 taels to donate a jinshi."

Lan Ziyi shook his head and smiled bitterly when he heard this:

"Alas, I think I'm Lan Ziyi working hard, I can't even take the exam for three years, and I can't even lift people, these people can donate a jinshi out for 100,000 taels in the capital, why should I work hard if I knew this? Spend money to donate one, can't you become a reader? “

Father-in-law Yu took a sip of hot tea to wake up, and sneered when he heard this:

"Want to spend money on real donations? You're beautiful! The confessions of those boys made it clear that if they want to donate to Jinshi this time, they must not only have money, but also geographical restrictions, and the purchase and donation is limited to Jiangdong scholars, Fengyang Daonan, Jiangbei area, but you have to add silver. ”

Lan Ziyi said:

"Isn't there a Jinshi in the imperial examination every year? Why did Zhang Mingyue dare to let the sons of Jiangdong take the majority of the past few years? ”

Fair Fish:

"It is true that there is a habit of entering and exiting the scholars of all provinces, but it is just a habit, and there is no clear decree, so Zhang Mingyue dares to let the Jiangdong scholars dominate the scientific field."

Lan Ziyi asked puzzledly:

"Those boys should all be the tribute students of the Guozijian, they don't need the imperial examination and there are also places available for the Guozijian to fill the vacancies, why spend money to buy Jinshi? Now if you get caught, you're going to lose your head. ”

Yu Gonggong smiled:

"The vacancies made up by the Guozijian can be kept by those scholars in the poetry society back then, all of them are businessmen, only money, no power, and the vacancies of the Guozijian can't be their turn."

Lan Ziyi nodded in sudden realization, and then he asked:

"So how did they cheat on the test papers? As far as I know, the examination papers of the Jinshi Imperial Examination have to be re-copied and the names sealed before they can be submitted to the examiner. ”

Fair Fish:

"Those boys made it clear that they could get a three-word and six-character code for the money they spent, and as long as these three words appeared in their text, the article would be successful. The protégés of these saints in power also have a lot of tricks, and the few people in the temple of clearing grievances have different codes for each other. ”

Speaking of this, Father-in-law Yu's spirit changed, and he asked Lan Ziyidao:

"Ziyi, the people and the confession are already there, what do you think I should do next?"
