Cao Shujun rolled his eyes, slandering in his heart, isn't it the same as I thought? If you don't let me say it, you said it, it's just that you want to be a good person, Xia Langjun, don't be greedy, okay? You have a sister, why do you want to rob the little lady with me? It's really not righteous.

"As long as the good times are always in 1/10,000 of the shares." Xia Xiang showed a smile on his face, and smiled very sincerely and attentively, "One in 10,000, the price is absolutely fair, and Tong Su is not bullied." ”

As if he had already guessed that Xia Xiang was the mastermind behind Cao Shujun, Lian Ruohan glanced at Xia Xiang casually: "Xia Langjun, you are a scholar, how can you talk about business like a businessman?" Isn't it dishonoring? ”

"Haha, even the little lady said this is bad, Brother Zhang has a township exam, from Quanzhou to Beijing to catch the exam, led two donkeys, each carried a few silk, all the way while selling, after entering Beijing, the silk was sold, and the donkey was sold, not only earned back the fare, but also a lot of surplus." Xia Xiang saw the move, "Although the gentleman is poor, the sage said that wealth and nobility are what people want, and they don't get it by their way, and they don't go anywhere; Poverty and cheapness are the evil of people, and if you don't get it by your way, you won't go...... Therefore, a gentleman loves money, as long as he takes it in the right way. ”

"A good gentleman loves money and takes it in the right way." Lian Ruohan nodded frequently, and greatly appreciated Xia Xiang's words, "Money is the same as a sword, there is no good or bad, in the hands of a gentleman, if it is used by the people, it is naturally a good thing." If it is in the hands of a villain, it is only for one's own selfishness, it is a bad thing. ”

Cao Shujun opened his mouth wide, it turned out that Xia Langjun wanted to capture the old man, he wanted to exchange the emblem for a share of 1/10,000 of Haojingchang, Haojing Chang is in such a huge industry, 1/10,000 sounds like a drop in the bucket, but it is also a huge amount of extraordinary, is Xia Langjun too hungry and ugly? He squeezed his eyebrows at Xia Xiang, suggesting that Xia Xiang would accept it when he saw it, and not be too greedy.

Xia Xiang ignored Cao Shujun's hints, and continued to show Lian Ruohan his breezy and moon-like smile: "What Lian Little Lady said is extremely true, heaven is constant, not for Yao, not for ruin, as long as what you do is in line with the way of heaven, you will prosper, otherwise, you will perish." ”

Lian Ruohan nodded, but did not speak, and looked out the window. A breeze is blowing, the cool breeze is blowing, and there is already the breath of autumn. The wind moved the curtain, and blew the silk silk on the table, driving the jade chain and Ruoer on the silk, and the sound of ding dong was like a heavenly sound.

"Xia Langjun really thinks that a black list can turn defeat into victory? Can you get into the Jinshi and enter the court? ”

Cao Shujun almost lost his patience, not knowing whether Lian Ruohan approved Xia Xiang's proposal, just when he made up his mind to make it clear that his emblem would not take a penny, as long as the little lady liked him, Lian Ruohan spoke.

As soon as he opened his mouth, Cao Shujun was disappointed, and Lian Ruohan put aside the matter of the emblem and talked about Xia Xianggong's fame.

Shen Bao observed the words and expressions on the side, and saw that Xia Xiang and Lian Ruohan were fighting, and he was happy to stand by and see who won and who lost. Lian Ruohan's question is what he is most concerned about - can Xia Xiang turn defeat into victory?

If you don't get into the jinshi, you don't enter the court, everything is empty talk.

"I was undefeated, how can I turn defeat into victory?" Xia Xiang smiled calmly, put his hands behind his back, and came to the window, the sun outside the window was good, and the fragrance of flowers hit people, he turned around and said indifferently to Lian Ruohan, "There are often people who think that they will not encounter pearls and jades in the dust, but in fact, if it is really a thousand miles, there must be Bole to know." Even without Bole, Maxima is still a Maxima and can travel thousands of miles a day. If you want me to say, there is no talent in the world who does not meet, and those who do not meet are all talentless people. ”

"What does Xia Langjun mean that you will inevitably become a high school jinshi?" Lian Ruohan was very strange where Xia Xiang's strong self-confidence came from, and couldn't help but be both funny and helpless, although she also admired Xia Xiang for stirring up all parties with just a black list, "Although King Qing intervened, but if Wen Changju insisted that there was no fraud, there was no way to see King and King Qing, unless the emperor ordered a thorough investigation of the matter, but the emperor was seriously ill, I am afraid that this matter will not reach the emperor's ears......"

Lian Ruohan's beautiful eyes were three points smiling and seven points of jokes, obviously testing Xia Xiang's tone to probe Xia Xiang's bottom line, how could Xia Xiang not know? He pretended to smile mysteriously: "This matter will definitely reach the ears of the emperor......"

"How so?"

"King Qing burned the black list with one arrow, is it good or bad?" Xia Xiang can almost conclude that Lian Ruohan must have been born in a family of eunuchs, she is more interested in court affairs than Cao Shuli, and she has more ability to reason, she is indeed an extraordinary woman, she has the heart to test her, and she can't always let her lead her nose.

"Nature is a good thing." Lian Ruohan faced Xia Xiang's counterattack calmly, and did not hide his true thoughts, "Wen Changju wants to expose the black list and use it as physical evidence to investigate who posted it, but I believe that the handwriting on the black list is from the hands of people who can't write, and it is useless to start from the handwriting to find out who did it." King Qing burned the black list and destroyed the physical evidence, which was to protect the people who posted the list. ”

"Then may I ask Little Lady Lian, in what direction will the situation develop next?" Xia Xiang leaned over, like a big bad wolf looking at a little sheep, and asked with a smile.

Cao Shujun couldn't bear it anymore, stood up, supported the table with both hands, and confronted Xia Xiang: "Xia Langjun, even the little lady is not a person in the court, but a woman, and talking to her about the court is not appropriate and delays the business. ”

Lian Ruohan waved his hand slightly at Cao Shujun, his eyes were full of smiles, and he looked up at Xia Xiang: "If I speculate, the third prince will send someone to block the tribute courtyard next, and no one will be allowed to enter and leave at will...... In my opinion, Xia Langjun has no hope of winning the Jinshi. ”

"It's better to ...... like this," Xia Xiang simply retreated, "I'll make a bet with the little lady." ”

"How to bet? What to bet on? ”

"If I win the Jinshi, the little lady agrees to the proposal to exchange the emblem for a 1/10,000th good prosperity shares. If I don't win the ......," Xia Xiang paused for a moment, "The emblem will be given to the little lady for free, and I won't take a penny, how about it?" ”

Cao Shujun opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but was stopped by Xia Xiang's eyes. He secretly shouted aggrieved, the emblem is my hard work, Xia Langjun, before you are generous to others, you will not die if you discuss it with me, right? But thinking about it again, if there was no Xia Xiang's idea, he would not have made a good scene in the emblem, and if Xia Xiang really didn't get into the jinshi, it would also be a major blow to Xia Xiang, forget it, don't worry about these trivial things with Xia Xiang.

"Okay, that's a deal." Lian Ruohan was naturally willing to accept the offer, "However, I also have one condition. ”

"What are the conditions, even the little lady will talk about it quickly." Cao Shujun glanced at Xia Xiang, and finally said it before Xia Xiang stopped him, he couldn't always let him hold it, it was easy to hold back internal injuries.

"Just now Cao Saburo said that I only have one of two emblems, but I want both." Lian Ruohan picked up Ruo'er and smiled, "Please give Cao Saburo the name of the church emblem." ”

"Jade Lianhuan, Ruoer." Cao Shujun introduced which is the jade chain and which is Ruoer for Lian Ruohan, and saw that Lian Ruohan liked both, both slightly disappointed and a little lucky, "It's okay to have both, but it's better to choose one of the emblems, otherwise it's hard to identify." ”

"The jade chain can be used as an emblem."

Cao Shujun was overjoyed in his heart, raised his eyebrows at Xia Xiang, and forced a smug smile, but he couldn't hide his joy.

"It's just that I personally prefer Ruoer...... "Lian Ruohan flipped his wrist, Ruoer slipped into his sleeve, his hand shook, Ruoer returned to his hand, Ruoer and her white jade palm contrasted with each other, "I have a reluctant request, I don't know if I should talk about it?" ”

How could even the little lady like Ruoer? How could she like Joel? Cao Shujun felt as if he had fallen headlong into a river, the river was deep and cold, and he continued to sink down, sinking to the unfathomable bottom of the river.

"Please." Xia Xiang glanced at Cao Shujun, suggesting that it didn't matter if he failed, the important thing was to cheer up and face failure bravely, because maybe there would be another defeat waiting for him.

Cao Shujun pursed his lips and twisted his head to the side, not wanting to look at Xia Xiang any more, and thought angrily in his heart, Xia Langjun, if you really have something to do with Lian Xiaoniang, hmph, I will break you up with my sister and prevent my sister from marrying you as a negative man.

"The matter of the emblem will be decided after the list is released tomorrow. Ruoer ...... Can you give it to me? I will give you a beautiful jade card that is always in good times. "Lian Ruohan really likes Ruoer, not only the style, but also the name, "Ruoer, Ruoer, a good name, it must be given by Xia Langjun." ”

"Why doesn't even the little lady think that it is taken from below?" Cao Shujun was quite unconvinced, shook the folding fan in his hand, and raised his chin, "Could it be that the little lady feels empty in her lower abdomen?" ”

"......" Ling'er laughed out loud, covered her mouth and smiled, "Cao Sanlang is too careful, my lady guesses that Ruo'er is named by Xia Langjun, because you care about the jade chain very much, and you don't look at Ruo'er much, it can be seen how much you love and care about the jade chain, so ...... and so on."

Cao Shujun laughed: "A gentleman is frank, if he likes it, he likes it, and he doesn't need to hide it." Yes, Ruoer's name is indeed given by Xia Langjun, but he refuses to say it, lest even the little lady dislike his face. Okay, Xia Langjun, Lian Xiaoniang likes your Ruoer very much, you can be very happy that your Ruoer has entered the eyes of Lian Xiaoniang. It's just that you don't have to think about it, even the little lady likes Ruoer, not you personally. ”

Xia Xiang rolled his eyes at Cao Shujun, and smiled at Lian Ruohan: "It is Ruoer's blessing to be liked by Lian Xiaoniang." The beautiful jade is a good story. ”

Lian Ruohan put away Ruoer: "Thank you Xia Langjun and Cao Sanlang, but the little girl is disrespectful." With a flip of his wrist, there was an extra jade card in his right hand, "Be careful, not respectful." ”

Xia Xiang was also not polite, and immediately accepted it: "I think that Brother Zhang hung the inscription in the air, so he won a beautiful jade card with good times, and I just borrowed flowers to offer Buddha, and I also got one, which shows that sometimes you don't have to sacrifice your life to get it." ”

"The matter of the black list, didn't you also gamble on your life?" Lian Ruohan felt more and more that Xia Xiang was very interesting, not pedantic, but also flexible, although he was a scholar, he had business acumen.

"It's someone else who gambles on his life, not me." Xia Xiang shook the folding fan in his hand a few times, "Since King Qing burned the black list with one arrow, the black list has become the fulcrum of the competition between several princes, and I just need to watch the fire from the other side." Tonight, there will be many people who will not be able to sleep all night. ”

There was a knock at the door.

"Brother Xia, Brother Xia, in Xia Teng Zhengyuan."

"Brother Teng, please come in." Xia Xiang responded.

Teng Zhengyuan pushed the door in, saw everyone in the room, was stunned for a moment, his eyes swept over Lian Ruohan, he lost his mind for a moment, and then came to Xia Xiang and said: "Brother Xia, can you write down the article you made in the examination room, and I will write it down." ”

"What's going on?" Lian Ruohan was taken aback.

Shen Bao was also stunned: "What does Brother Teng mean by this?" ”

Teng Zhengyuan stood with his hands tied and glanced at the two of them lightly: "Brother Xia understands what I mean, but if he doesn't understand either, he won't say it." ”

"It's already written." Xia Xiang smiled quietly, thinking that although Teng Zhengyuan was straightforward and jealous and hateful, he also spoke up, he took the article that he had already written, and handed it to Teng Zhengyuan, "I'm tired of Brother Teng." It's just that this matter is sinister, and if you are not careful, it may affect Brother Teng's fame. ”

After Teng Zhengyuan took it, he glanced at it a few times, then solemnly put it away, and said coldly: "You don't have to think about it, let alone feel guilty, I'm not for you personally, it's for the world." If it does, I have peace of mind. If I don't succeed, even if I am stripped of my fame, I can afford to lose. It's a big deal to take the test again after three years. The husband does something and does not do something, looks up to the sky, and does not bow down to others, that's all. ”

"Look up to the sky, bow to the ground, act without people, and stop without deserving of your heart......" Xia Xiang saluted Teng Zhengyuan, "Brother Teng's high wind and bright festival, please accept the next bow." ”

Teng Zhengyuan was stunned suddenly, and his words were quoted from Mencius, the original text was - Mencius said: "A gentleman has three pleasures, and the king of the world does not exist with him, his parents exist, and his brothers have no reason, and they have one happiness; Look up to the sky, bow down to people, and be happy; Get the world's talents and educate them, and the three music are also. And Xia Xiang's words further extended Mencius's words, and they were more imposing and insightful, and he couldn't help but be impressed.

Teng Zhengyuan has always admired talented people the most, although he has prejudices against Xia Xiang, he still admires Xia Xiang's talent, he stayed for a long time, and suddenly sighed: "Brother Xia's talent, it is better to sigh to himself." If Brother Xia can be as upright as me, why worry about big things? I would also like to be a friend with Brother Xia. ”

Xia Xiang smiled indifferently: "Brother Teng, you and I go to one side of the avenue, although we are not on the same path, we are peers." As long as you are dedicated to the country and the people, why do you have to go the same way? Thousands of avenues lead to Beijing. ”

Teng Zhengyuan lowered his head and thought for a moment, shook his head, crossed his hands, and turned to leave.

"Why did Teng Zhengyuan want Brother Xia's article?" Shen Bao still didn't understand what kind of dumb riddle Xia Xiang and Teng Zhengyuan were playing.

Xia Xiang didn't say anything, and smiled faintly: "Maybe it's useful, maybe it's useless, he will see it soon." ”

Even Ruohan couldn't figure out the link, but he didn't ask any more questions, and when he saw that it was not early, he said goodbye to Ling'er and left.

Cao Shujun originally wanted to stay, and the list would be released early tomorrow morning, and he wanted to go to the Gongyuan with Xia Xiang to watch the list early in the morning. Whether Xia Xiang gets the Zhongjin Shi or not is related to the cooperation plan between him and Lian Ruohan. Xia Xiang didn't allow it, let him hurry home, there was something at home that he needed to take care of. Cao Shujun had no choice but to leave.

"Brother Xia, you and I will go to the Gongyuan to have a look, okay?" Shen Bao couldn't hold back his curiosity, he wanted to know what happened to the current Gongyuan, and he wanted to see it for granted.

"It's better not to go." Xia Xiang was not interested, and yawned loudly, "If you go again at this time, there is no more excitement to see, and maybe you will be arrested as a troublemaker." It's better to sleep and look at the title of tomorrow's gold list. ”

Shen Bao shook his head, he was very puzzled where Xia Xiang's confidence came from, he thought about it left and right, and he couldn't figure out the links and relationships, after all, he was new to the capital, and he didn't know the position of the princes of all parties. Since he couldn't figure it out, Xia Xiang refused to say it, so he had to discuss it with Zhang Hou.

Unexpectedly, when he arrived in the courtyard, he didn't find Zhang Hou, and he only saw Xiao Wuyi learning swords with Mantuo. Xiao Wu took a branch and made a crooked gesture with his sword. Mantuo stood with his sword on the side, his eyebrows furrowed, obviously very dissatisfied with Xiao Wu's clumsiness.

"Where did Brother Zhang go?" Shen Bao stepped forward and asked.

"I don't know, I only saw him and Shi'er go out together." Xiao Wu is independent in Jinji, and the branch of the right sword moves the immortal to guide the way, but the tip of the tree moves, pointing east and west.

Mantuo shook his head, his right hand moved, and the scabbard hit Xiao Wu's right hand: "You are not a golden rooster independent, but a rooster with a broken leg standing upright." You are not an immortal to show the way, but a blind man to show the way. ”

Xiao Wu shouted: "Lady Mantuo, it's not that I'm stupid, it's that you don't teach well." Sir doesn't need to teach me, just say the name of the move, and I'll be able to do it, and I can still play it vigorously. ”

"And such a thing?" Manta didn't believe it, "I'll see it when I go back." ”

He said to Shen Bao again: "You have to go to Zhang Hou, just go to the Gongyuan to find him, don't delay me teaching Xiao Wu martial arts here." ”

Shen Bao was surprised: "Brother Zhang went to the Gongyuan?" ”

"I overheard him say to Shi'er that he was going to the Gongyuan, most likely." Mantuo refused to say anything more, turned around, and only gave Shen Bao a back, "Shen Langjun is invited." ”

Shen Bao smiled, turned around and walked out of the inn, and came to the Gongyuan after a while.

At the gate of the Gongyuan, the black list is gone, but there are still traces of black huhu. On both sides of the gate, there are two columns of forbidden troops guarding, and another general is riding on a horse to guard the gate of the tribute courtyard.

Shen Bao looked around, and only a few examiners refused to disperse around and whispered. Shen Bao stepped forward to report his name and asked about what happened before, which was roughly the same as what Lian Ruohan said, but he didn't see Zhang Houhe Shi'er. Shen Bao learned that since the forbidden army guarded the Tribute Courtyard, no one had entered or exited the gate of the Tribute Courtyard.

Shen Bao stayed for a while, and then he went back to the inn alone.

As soon as Shen Bao left, two people walked out of the Gongyuan. Both of them are dressed as military generals, it is Gao Jianyuan and Yan Hao.
