Chapter 14 What is the Great Way?
"Even the little lady is waiting for the official?" Xia Xiang didn't have time to ask what he was thinking, but he saw a tall horse galloping over, the horse was like the wind, the person was like a dragon, and there was a person on the horse, with starry eyes and eyebrows, white facial features, extremely handsome, wide ears and wide forehead, eyes and eyes, and a word of eyebrows across his eyes, not only was it not abrupt, but it added a little brilliance to him.
The person who came to Lian Ruohan rode a horse, turned his body vertically, turned over and dismounted in a dashing manner, and after landing steadily, his body never shook up. Xia Xiang had seen Mantuo and Xiao Wu dismount like this, and he had also witnessed Gao Jianyuan and Yan Hao's posture when they got on and off the horse, and he was shocked in his heart, this person was a master.
As soon as Lian Ruohan saw this person, he stepped forward with a smile.
"Sir, who is this man?" For some reason, Xiao Wu couldn't help but feel hostile when he saw this person for the first time, "Could it be that he is an official of the little lady?" ”
"Don't talk nonsense." Xia Xiang snorted and glared at Xiao Wu dissatisfiedly, "Even the little lady hasn't married yet, how can she be an official?" Most of them are cousins. ”
"Why cousins and not cousins?" Xiao Wu didn't mean to ask this, how did he know Xia Xiang's little thoughts, cousins can't get married, but cousins can.
Although Xia Xiang didn't want to admit it, he had to say to himself that no matter how good he looked or what he looked like, he was not under him. The most important thing is that the intimacy between the person who came and Lian Ruohan made him feel slightly uneasy and nervous.
originally thought that Lian Ruohan was waiting for him by leaning on the door, but it turned out to be waiting for another man, Xia Xiang had a kind of beauty like a flower across the clouds, and his heart suddenly inspired the pride of winning Lian Ruohan's heart.
If Xia Xiang is ruthless to Lian Ruohan, it is also a lie, after all, the young man's heart is the age of young Mu Ai, and Lian Ruohan, who is as beautiful as jade and has a sex like the moon, will get along for a long time, and it is inevitable that he will fall in love. But if Xia Xiang has a deep affection for Lian Ruohan, it is also an exaggeration. At this time, his mind was on the affairs of the county, and he was affectionate to his children, and he did not have too many distractions.
It's just that suddenly Lian Ruohan has the possibility of being snatched away from his love, and he can't help but be vigilant and competitive. However, after Xia Xiang calmed down, he was shocked when he thought about it carefully, it turned out that unconsciously, he had already had feelings for Lian Ruohan.
"Yes, cousins can't get married, but cousins can, sir......" Xiao Wu figured out the link by himself, and when he wanted to ask again, he was reprimanded by Xia Xiang.
"Shut up!" Xia Xiangshuang put his back on his hands and strode forward, "From this moment on, you are not allowed to say another word." ”
"Yes, sir, Xiao Wu will treat himself as a dumb person from now on, no matter how Mr. beats, scolds, dislikes, and ......" halfway through his words, he realized that he was still talking too much, so he hurriedly shut up and didn't say anything.
Xia Xiang Shi Ran came to Lian Ruohan, gave a slight salute, and generously said what he thought just now: "Lian Xiaoniang and the official walked all the way from the capital to Zhending, and they got along day and night for half a month, and they were only separated for half a day today, so they miss the official again?" If you have to wait for the official at the door, it's really difficult for you, and the official doesn't want to go ......."
"Xia County is the honor of a dignified county, and it is a courtesy for the little woman to go out to greet her." To Xia Xiang's surprise, Lian Ruohan took his words and smiled, "It's also the little girl who has something to ask for, so she is courteous." ”
Xia Xiang wanted to take the opportunity to test Lian Ruohan's mind, but he also wanted to know who Lian Ruohan was, but he didn't want Lian Ruohan to take the move, so he returned a backhand move, and he couldn't help but be slightly stunned, and then shook his head and smiled. Lian Ruohan is such a smart woman, whether it is above the court or under the government and the opposition, she is more well-informed than him, and she is always in a good situation supported by one person, how can she be an ordinary person? Moreover, with her talent, there are not many admirers, and I believe that she has also declined countless suitors.
"Even the little lady has something, and the official should take care of herself. Please speak. Xia Xiang's words were not polite words, but heartfelt words, he was grateful to Lian Ruohan, and when he spoke, he inadvertently glanced at the visitor.
Since Xia Xiang appeared, the person who came had never looked at Xia Xiang squarely, even when Lian Ruohan shouted out Xia Xianzun, he only rolled his eyelids slightly, and his careless eyes swept from Xia Xiang's body from top to bottom, and then resumed his arrogant and arrogant posture.
Lian Ruohan smiled quietly and said, "Xia Xianzun is so loving, it makes the little woman panic. What the little woman asked for was just a gesture for Xia Xianzun. Lu Zhiyue Lu Langjun is an old friend of mine, he wants to find an official position, I heard that Zhending County has a vacancy in the main book? ”
It turned out that this person's name was Lu Zhiyue, Xia Xiang's heart moved, could it be the son of a family surnamed Lu among the four families of Cui, Li, Lu, and Zheng? didn't have to think about it, Lu Zhiyue perfunctorily saluted Xia Xiang, and said lukewarmly: "Lu Zhiyue has seen Xia Xianzun. In the next year, I went to Beijing to catch the exam, but I didn't get the Jinshi, and I wanted to get an official and a half position under Xia County, and I hope that Xia County will be perfect. ”
Xia Xiang almost didn't laugh out loud, not to mention that Lu Zhiyue was not full of etiquette and arrogant, and wanted to beg him to fulfill it, but only said that Lu Zhiyue was still a white-clothed body, so he wanted to be the master bookkeeper, which was as difficult as climbing to the sky.
The origin of the county master book has the imperial examination, the shade of the door, the flow of the outside and the stream, etc., if it is the imperial examination, it is good to say, with the background, there is no longer a requirement for age and qualifications. If you are not a jinshi, you need to start as a junior official, and you must have more than seven or eight years of qualifications. Lu Zhiyue is only about twenty, and there is no need to think about it, he must not have any qualifications.
Xia Xiang wanted to refuse solemnly, but he had already thought about the refusal: "The imperial court is very cautious about the appointment of the head of a county, and Lu Langjun is afraid that it is not in line with the conditions for the imperial court to select officials." Although the official has the right to recommend the master book to the ministry, he cannot recommend a candidate who is not legal. ”
However, when the words came to his mouth, he didn't say them, just because he noticed the cunning and smugness that flashed in Lian Ruohan's eyes, and he couldn't help but be moved in his heart. Lu Zhiyue is so arrogant, he must be pretentious. For the pretentious, give him a free top hat, and he will not only happily wear it, but also be even more fluttery.
Xia Xiang changed his words and said: "With Lu Langjun's talent, it is too condescending to serve as the head of a county, it is better to wait another three years before entering Beijing to take the exam, and then it will definitely be a blockbuster, and the high school champion is not a problem." After having a background, he served as the prefect of a county, then the prefect, the book, and finally the prime minister, which is the avenue. ”
Although Lu Zhiyue deliberately concealed it, his eyebrows still jumped, and he was happy, he smiled, and hugged his fist at Xia Xiangwei: "Xia County has won the award, although he is not talented in the next, but he also has self-knowledge, if he takes a jinshi, it is good to say, he really wants to be the champion, hehe, hehe, I am afraid that I will have to try a little luck." However, I agree with Xia Xianzun's words, there is no need to rush to get a master book now, you should wait another three years to seek a background. ”
Lian Ruohan was stunned for a moment, and said, "How can Lu Langjun be like this? I obviously promised Uncle Lu, but I regretted it in front of Xia Xianzun, how do you ask me to explain to Uncle Lu? ”
"Also, I had already promised my father...... Lu Zhiyue hesitated a little again, and bowed his hand to Xia Xiangwei, "Xia Xianzun, it is not a good story to enter Beijing to take the exam in the main bookkeeper and pass the Jinshi examination." I also hope that Xia County will be honored. ”
"That is, I hope that Xia County will be honored." Lian Ruohan took advantage of the trend, pretending to be upright and asking Xia Xiang for help, but there was a flash of smugness in his eyes.
Xia Xiang knew that with his friendship with Lian Ruohan, it was nothing to help her recommend a candidate for the main bookkeeper, not to mention that he only had the right to recommend, not the right to decide. Whether or not to appoint Lu Zhiyue as the head of Zhending County in the end depends on the ministry. It's just that he knows in his heart that behind Lian Ruohan's insistence that he recommend Lu Zhiyue as the head of Zhending County, there seems to be some ulterior motive hidden.
Based on his inference, with Lian Ruohan's personality, he took care of him a lot, and it was definitely not for a trivial matter of recommending a candidate for the county chief book, and what Lian Ruohan cared about was not really a county and a small position of the main book. It's just that she pushed this matter today, I'm afraid there is a big mystery.
Xia Xiang would never agree to this matter if he didn't understand Lian Ruohan's true purpose. It's not that he's worried about being used by Lian Ruohan, but he doesn't want to be the fulcrum of the family friends behind Lian Ruohan and Lu Zhiyue.
Fortunately, Xia Xiang had already noticed that in the matter of seeking to obtain the county master's book, Lian Ruohan and Lu Zhiyue were not of the same mind, Lu Zhiyue was quite reluctant to be driven out of the shelves, he made up his mind, and said with a smile: "Lu Langjun, as a big husband, is a major matter related to his own future, how can he let others sway?" The words of the parents are enough, even if it is the words of their own mother, they must listen to it, let alone outsiders? ”
Lian Ruohan's nose wrinkled, his eyebrows raised, and the corners of his mouth curled, he wanted to fight according to reason, but when the words came to his mouth, he secretly smiled, and did not say it, but he thought hatefully in his heart, what a Xia Xiang, he actually saw my thoughts, and he had to go against me, and it was in vain that this lady helped you so much, it was too ruthless and unjust.
Although she thought so, she had to admire Xia Xiang for her superior vision, and she actually saw the problem between her and Lu Zhiyue.
Xia Xiang noticed Lian Ruohan's strange expression, only smiled silently, and continued: "And Lu Langjun is both civil and military, and he should go on the horse to practice martial arts and get off the horse to carry the pen, maybe he will take the exam for a double champion in civil and military affairs, and become another person after Zheng Guan." ”
During the reign of Tang Muzong, Zheng Guangao was the champion of the Chinese subject, and three years later, Zheng Guan was the first champion of the martial arts department, and was the first double champion of both culture and martial arts. In the following hundreds of years, until the Great Xia, there was no one who was a high Chinese martial arts double champion.
As soon as Lu Zhiyue heard this, her eyebrows immediately fluttered, without saying a word, she turned over and got on the horse, lifted the reins, and the front hooves of the white horse stood up, neighing, and then turned around and galloped away.
Even Ruohan was stunned on the spot, she never thought that Xia Xiang's words would be so powerful, so that Lu Zhiyue said goodbye without saying goodbye, and the consternation in her heart was indescribable.
In the study, Xia Xiang picked up the tea that Liu Er had just brewed, took a sip of it with satisfaction, and then put it down gently, looking at Lian Ruohan with slanted eyes and a smile.
Lian Ruohan was still angry, and was still angry: "Lu Zhiyue is so assertive, how can he achieve great things in the future?" It's really annoying, I really regret that I promised Uncle Lu to take care of Lu Zhiyue for him, but it has become a burden that I can't shake off. ”
"Xia Xianzun, I don't understand why it's just a trivial matter of a recommendation letter, but you refuse to help?"
"Xia Xianzun, although Lu Zhiyue also knows martial arts, she has just started, and it is impossible to be the champion of martial arts. If he really believed in Xia Xianzun's words, he would have to take the test for the civil and military double champions, but it would be too miserable. ”
Xia Xiang listened to Lian Ruohan's chatter for a long time, and after talking on the phone, he said slowly: "Lian Xiaoniang, but are you done?" ”
Lian Ruohan didn't speak, but Xiao Wu suddenly interjected and said, "Little lady Lian, Lu Zhiyue is your official?" ”
Lian Ruohan was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "I have known Lu Langjun for many years, and he has always ......been in love with me."
"Even the little lady must not agree to his proposal." Xiao Wu said anxiously, as if there was a big problem in one step at night.
Lian Ruohan knew that the relationship between Xiao Wu and Xia Xiang was not a simple master-servant relationship, so he was not annoyed by his boldness, and asked with a smile: "Why?" ”
Xiao Wu glanced at Xia Xiang and saw that Xia Xiang had no objection, so he said again: "Because Lu Zhiyue's talent is less than one percent of Mr. ”
Lian Ruohan smiled: "What are these words?" There are many talented people in the world who are not as talented as Xia County. There are more talented people than Xia County, and there is no shortage of them. Marriage cannot be judged by talent. ”
"But......" Xiao Wu wanted to say something more, but was interrupted by Xia Xiang.
Xia Xiang coughed majestically: "Xiao Wu, don't be rude." He smiled slightly, "Even the little lady, you have helped the official a lot, and the official should know about the entu, but Lu Zhiyue is a person, and the official knows nothing, and the position of the chief secretary is very important, maybe the official has already had a candidate, and it is not known." ”
"There is no suitable candidate for the Ministry of Officials, as long as Xia Xianzun is promoted, I will guarantee that the Ministry of Officials will approve it." Lian Ruohan's tone was very firm, but he sighed lightly, "It's just that Xia Xianzun thought too much and missed a general who could help you." ”
Xia Xiang said: "Even the little lady and Lu Langjun are good friends? ”
Lian Ruohan neither admitted nor denied it: "I was entrusted by Lu Langjun's father to find an official position for him, so that he could experience it and collect his temperament." ”
Xia Xiang saw that Lian Ruohan still refused to tell the real reason, so he asked bluntly: "Lu Langjun is from the Lu family among the four great families of Cui, Li, Lu, and Zheng?" ”
Lian Ruohan smiled indifferently: "Xia Xianzun might as well ask me directly if I am also from one of the four great families...... I believe that many people are very interested in my life experience, but there is no surname among the four surnames. But the four surnames support each other, the marriage alliance, since I and Lu Langjun are childhood sweethearts, I guess with Xia Xianzun, I must also be one of the four? ”
Xia Xiang was exactly what he meant, he wanted to ask for clarification, and he didn't want Lian Ruohan to say it generously, so he smiled: "So is Lian Xiaoniang one of the four families?" ”
Lian Ruohan thought that Xia Xiang would be embarrassed to ask about this matter again, and didn't want him to ask straight to the point, so he couldn't help but be stunned, and then smiled: "Yes and no, what's the difference?" Could it be that Xia Xianzun walked with me all the way because of his identity as a little woman? ”
Even Ruohan's peers all the way were punns, how could Xia Xiang not understand, and he no longer bothered about this matter, so he smiled and didn't mention it: "It's not that the official doesn't want to give Lian the little lady a favor, it's just that the official doesn't want to make it difficult for others." Lu Zhiyue himself doesn't want to be a master bookkeeper, so this official can't obey your will to recommend him. ”
"Xia County is respectful and bright, and acts squarely, the little woman really admires it." Lian Ruohan said that he admired it, but the smile in his eyes was full of cunning, "I'm afraid it's just that Xia Xianzun doesn't want to promote Lu Zhiyue as the head of Zhending County, one is afraid of my way, and the other is afraid that after Lu Zhiyue becomes the head book, it will become a nail that I put next to the county honor...... But what does that mean? ”
Seeing that Lian Ruohan said it so bluntly, Xia Xiang secretly admired Lian Ruohan's bearing, so he told the truth: "Hehe, hehe, this official is new to Zhending, and he doesn't know anything about Zhending, and he doesn't know anything about Lian Xiaoniang and Lu Zhiyue's life experience, how can he rashly recommend Lu Zhiyue as the master of Zhending?" It's not that I'm afraid of Lian Xiaoniang's way, but I'm afraid of jumping into the pit dug by Lian Xiaoniang. ”
"Puff ......" Lian Ruohan covered his mouth and smiled, amused by Xia Xiang's jokes about the dignity of a county, "Where does the little woman have the ability to dig a pit for Xia Xianzun?" Xia County is talented, and the little woman is never Xia County's opponent. ”
"Ahem......" Xia Xiang coughed a few times, and when he saw that it was not early, he said, "Even the little lady, should it be time for dinner, the official is hungry." ”
"Please wait a moment for Xia Xianzun, dinner has been prepared, but there is still one guest to wait." Lian Ruohan beckoned, "Ling'er, you go to the door to greet Li Tuiguan." ”
Ling'er took the order and left, and Lian Ruohan asked again: "Where did the lady of Mantuo go?" ”
"Yes."
As soon as Lian Ruohan's words fell, the figure of Mantuo flashed and walked into the room. She was still well-dressed, but she didn't carry a sword in her hand, her steps were light, and there was a faint smile on her face.
"Even the little lady called me something?" Mantuo asked, dressed in white, like a layer of moonlight, her eyes were like stars, shining in the light, and there was a thrilling beauty.
"I'll call you to dinner." Lian Ruohan was hit by the flawless beauty of the mantle, and her heart was turbulent, there was such a fresh and good woman in the world, she stayed by Xia Xiang's side day and night, but Xia Xiang's good wife, thinking about it, there was a sudden sense of loss in her heart.
"No, I still have something to do." Mantuo nodded slightly, came to Xia Xiang's side, leaned down and whispered a few words.
Xia Xiang nodded slightly and said, "Yes, go and do it immediately." ”
"Yes." Mantuo received the order, turned around and left, and didn't look at Lian Ruohan again.
