What the? Was there a mistake in the yellow list just now? When the examiner who had just read his name heard this, he was immediately shocked, if there was no name on the new list, wouldn't he be on the list and then fall off the list? All the examinees rushed up and looked for their names.

"With my name, it scares me to death."

"There is also my name, the baby is relieved." A test boy named Wang Baobao let out a sigh of relief and slapped his chest continuously.

"The new list is no different from the old one, so why change it?" A close examiner looked at it for a long time, but found no changes, and was very puzzled.

"This brother, there are three differences between the new list and the old list, and listen to me one by one. First, in the old list, Cai Bei ranked third, and in the new list, ranked second, advancing one place. Second, in the old list, Zhang Hou ranked 25th, Shen Bao ranked 35th, and in the new list, Shen Bao ranked 15th and Zhang Hou ranked 30th. Third, the last place on the old list is Sun Shan, and the last place on the new list is ...... Xia Xiang! A scholar who looked very white and looked like a woman at first glance shook his head and said, "I don't forget in Xialin, I have been smart since I was a child, I don't forget ten lines at a glance, so I don't forget my name." ”

Some people are happy and some are sad, some are dancing, some are happy, some are crying, and some are depressed.

Xia Xiang was stunned for a long time, and then laughed: "In the future, as long as you are after Xia Xiang, it will be hopeless to enter the Shi, and the name of Sun Shan will be changed to Xia Xiang from now on." Brother Sun Shan, I'm sorry to rob you of the penultimate number one, don't be surprised. ”

"Xia Langjun is really a weirdo." Cao Shuli smiled secretly, her eyes flowed, her eyes were shining, although Xia Xiang was still on the list in the end, but she was the last, she was happy for Xia Xiang, but also slightly lost and unwilling, with Xia Xiang's talent, she should have been ranked in the top ten.

"How can this be true? Outrageous!! Zhang Hou was so angry that he brushed his sleeves away, if there was no forbidden army to guard, he said that he would have rushed over and tore off the yellow list, "There are eyes without beads, shameless rats!" Favoritism and fraud, turning the clouds and rain! I'm not convinced, I'm going to sue! ”

Until he returned to the inn, Zhang Hou was still indignant and couldn't stop talking, he came to Xia Xiang's room, said a breathing word, and repeatedly emphasized that Shen Bao was ranked before him, not that Shen Bao was higher than him, but because the examiner's level was too poor, and when the palace examination came, he would definitely be able to stand out and become the champion. And Xia Xiang ranked last, which is well deserved. Although he was ranked last, after the palace test, he was at least a fourth- or fifth-class fellow jinshi background.

Cao Yongguo, Cao Shuli, and Cao Shujun also came to the inn together, and the three of them still had something to say to Xia Xiang, but Zhang Hou only cared about what he was talking about, and didn't care about Cao Yongguo's presence at all.

Because when the first yellow list was posted, it was still early, and there were not many examinees who had read the list text, only a few dozen people. Most of the examinees saw the second yellow list, and they didn't know about the change of list, so the change of list did not cause too many waves.

After Shen Bao responded to the congratulations of all parties one by one, he came to Xia Xiang's room, and when he saw Shen Bao appear, Zhang Hou's face immediately turned cold, and he turned around and left, not even saying a word to Shen Bao.

"Zhang Hou, why is he so narrow-minded?" As soon as Zhang Hou left, Cao Shujun rolled his eyes, and threw a glance of contempt and disgust at his back, "It's okay if you don't have eyes, you are still jealous and jealous, I can't see that others are better than him, what a villain!" ”

"Just ignore him." Cao Yongguo saw a lot of gentlemen and villains from all walks of life above the court, and he didn't care about Zhang Hou's speech and demeanor, "There will be a palace test in a few days, and on the day of the palace test, the emperor will personally take the exam. ”

Although Xia Xiang does not have the heart of being the champion, he does not want to be only a fourth- or fifth-class fellow jinshi, not to mention a second- and third-class jinshi. It's just that he didn't know something, so he asked: "The emperor is seriously ill, I don't know if he can still preside over the palace examination?" ”

"If the emperor does not preside over the palace examination, no matter who replaces him, it will cause turmoil in the court......" Cao Yongguo frowned, he sat in Xia Xiang's conversation, the guest room was not big, and there was no living room, so he had to settle down, "You changed the list at the last moment to be on the list, this matter is Gao Hai's response, Wen Changju should not be known." Regardless of whether Wen Changju knows it or not, it is a definite thing that you will participate in the palace examination, and no one can change it. But in case the emperor entrusts the third prince to preside over the palace examination, I am afraid that it will be ......"

In recent days, Xia Xiang has not seen Jin Jia, what is the emperor's condition, the outside world has different opinions, some say that the emperor is seriously ill, and some say that although the emperor is seriously ill, he can still deal with the government. It is also said that the emperor's condition has already improved, but he just deliberately pressed it, and it was a plan to get away with it. It is even said that the emperor has died, and now all major affairs of the court and politics are controlled by the three princes.

In short, all kinds of theories are rampant, and I am afraid that only a few people can know the truth. Xia Xiang also knows that not to mention that Jin Jia seems to have no taboos, in fact, he has always been tight-lipped about the emperor's condition, whether it is the medicine bed and medicine chair, or why the emperor's condition has not improved, it seems to reveal the emperor's condition, but in fact, he has not revealed half a point. is still the same as the rumors in the outside world, the emperor is sick, and the illness has not improved, in addition, Jin Jia did not say what disease the emperor has and how serious the illness is.

Xia Xiang thinks that he and Jin Jia have talked a lot about the emperor's illness, and Jin Jia is one of the few people who know what the emperor's condition is. Although Jin Jia is a imperial doctor, he is also a person in the court, if he casually revealed the emperor's illness to the outside world, he would have been in a different place long ago. What's more, as far as he knows, Jin Jia not only won the trust of the emperor, but also befriended King Qing and King Xing.

"How could the emperor entrust the third prince to preside over the palace examination?" Xia Xiang smiled confidently, "The emperor's intentions, could it be that Gong Cao hasn't understood yet?" ”

Cao Yongguo nodded: "The old man still can't figure out the meaning, the sacred heart is like the sea, unfathomable." ”

"Mr. Jin Jia has actually told Cao Gong Sacred Heart......" Xia Xiang looked around at a few people, Cao Shuli sat dignified and listened attentively, Cao Shujun also listened thoughtfully, Xiao Wu and Mantuo went out to practice martial arts, not in the room, Shen Bao stood at the door, standing with his hands in his hands, he smiled slightly, "Mr. Jin Jia still has time to go to Cao Mansion to treat Cao Gong, it can be seen that the emperor's condition has not worsened." Later, after having a medicine bed and medicine chair, although Mr. Jin Jia said that the emperor's condition did not improve, but he was neither anxious nor urgent, and when discussing with me how to improve the medicine bed and medicine chair, he did not forget to accept me as an apprentice. ”

"Makes sense, it makes a lot of sense." Cao Yongguo thought about it carefully, and slapped the table suddenly, "It's a good golden armor, but I really hid it from the old man." If it weren't for Xia Langjun's reminder, the old man really didn't pay attention to his words and demeanor, which turned out to be a hidden mystery. Xia Langjun, why did you infer from Mr. Jin Jia's speech and demeanor that the emperor's condition has not worsened? ”

"Speaking of which, it also has the help of Cao Saburo." Xia Xiang glanced at Cao Shujun with a smile, Cao Shujun saw Xia Xiang praising him, and immediately straightened his waist, with a smug face, "The so-called father is sick and his son is worried, the main is sick and the minister is worried, when Cao Gong is sick, Cao Xiaoniang is sad and worried." The emperor is sick, Jin Jia is not too worried, relaxed, it can be seen that the emperor's illness is not incurable as rumored. ”

"That's true." Cao Yongguo nodded again and again, and glanced at Xia Xianggao a few times, this descendant, not only is he calm and measured, he thinks carefully about everything, but also has such a meticulous observation, he is really talented.

"What does it have to do with me?" Cao Shujun pricked up his ears and listened for a long time, but he didn't hear Xia Xiang say about him, thinking that Xia Xiang had omitted, "Xia Langjun, what about me, what about me?" ”

"You looked relaxed at the time, just like Mr. Jin Jia, and I thought, why don't you worry about your father like Cao Xiaoniang, but just like nothing? Later, after thinking about it, I understood, you begged the immortal to seek, you are a person from half an outside, and you don't care about the mundane things in the world......" Xia Xiang deliberately mocked Cao Shujun a few words.

Cao Shujun's face turned red, and it took a long time for him to say: "I, I, I don't want to show my sad face, it's useless and useless, but it adds to my troubles." Left and right are just a death, laughing or crying, it's not the same, why not laugh? ”

"Haha......" Xia Xiang laughed, "Congratulations to Cao Saburo for taking another level of mental work, and the Tao industry is just around the corner." ”

Cao Shujun was overjoyed, scratching his ears and cheeks: "Is this true? ”

Although Xia Xiang is the last on the list, he can be regarded as on the list, he was in a good mood for a while, and he was not on the list first and then on the list, which shows that his black list has achieved initial results, and it is not surprising that the fire caused by the black list will burn more and more.

"Congratulations to Xia Langjun."

Lian Ruohan's voice came from outside the door, like a breeze in the fields under the autumn sun, fresh and pleasant.

Cao Shujun jumped up from the chair and was overjoyed: "Even the little lady is here, please come quickly." Before he finished speaking, the person had already reached the door, and only then did he open the door, and Lian Ruohan flashed into the room.

Xia Xiang got up to greet him: "Even the little lady is coming, and she is far away to welcome ......"

Lian Ruohan waved his hand gently: "You and I don't have to be polite." His eyes swept and he was slightly stunned, "Xia Langjun has a guest?" ”

Lian Ruohan's gaze swept over Cao Yongguo's face and landed on Cao Shu's beautiful face, and a trace of surprise and amazement flashed in his eyes. Cao Shuli's eyes were also like electricity, and she stayed on Lian Ruohan's face for a moment, and the two of them looked at each other for a moment, and quickly separated.

"Come, let me introduce you." Xia Xiang didn't expect Lian Ruohan to come so quickly, and he didn't know if Lian Xiaoniang was more concerned about whether he was admitted or concerned about the situation caused by him, "This is Cao Gong, the Shaoqing of Honglu Temple, this is Cao Xiaoniang, the daughter of Cao Gong, Cao Sanlang Needless to say, he is the son of Cao Gong." ”

Lian Ruohan, Cao Yongguo, and Cao Shuli saw each other one by one. Cao Yongguo heard that the woman in front of him was the owner of the famous Good Times Chang Shang Shang firm, so he couldn't help but be secretly surprised, and secretly looked at Lian Ruohan a few more times. It's okay not to look at it, but at a glance, he was even more surprised, originally thought that Lian Ruohan controlled the huge prosperity in the business bank, and he would be a powerful person, but he didn't want to be a beautiful little lady, so he couldn't help but be speechless.

Cao Shuli is also thunderous about Lian Ruohan's name, not to mention the rumors from the outside world, only to say that Cao Shujun talks about how the little lady is at home every day, which has made her overwhelmed with listening, and she doesn't want to see it in Xia Xiang's place today, she is both curious and can't hold back the joy in her heart, and takes a step forward: "Even the little lady, I have admired the name for a long time, and it is a great blessing to see it today." ”

Lian Ruohan smiled, and directly grabbed Cao Shuli's hands: "Sister Cao, you and I are like each other at first sight, is it okay to become sisters?" ”

"Okay, okay." Cao Shuli smiled, "I don't know when and when the little lady was born?" ”

Lian Ruohan turned around and glanced at Xia Xiang, smiled quietly, but did not say the birthday: "I should be longer than you, you are a sister, I am a sister." ”

"Sister is above, please be bowed by my sister." Cao Shuli Bingxue is smart, so naturally she won't ask Lian Ruohan's birthday again, and immediately bows to Yingying.

Lian Ruohan returned the salute and helped Cao Shuli with both hands: "Sister doesn't have to be polite, my sister didn't bring any expensive gifts in a hurry, only a beautiful jade card to give." ”

With a flip of his wrist, Lian Ruohan had an extra beautiful jade card in his hand and gave it to Cao Shuli. After Cao Shuli took it, she couldn't put it down, she didn't know that the beautiful jade card could pass through hundreds of inns, restaurants, and tea shops in Daxia, but she liked the beauty of the jade card very much, and thanked her immediately.

Since Lian Ruohan and Cao Shuli recognized sisters, they met Cao Yongguo and Cao Shujun again. Cao Yongguo was naturally happy to see Cao Shuli have an extra sister, and was also impressed by Lian Ruohan's eight-sided exquisiteness. Legend has it that Lian Ruohan is a proud and high-minded woman, and it is also a good thing that she doesn't want to fall in love with her daughter like this.

Cao Shujun was unhappy with the boss, and reluctantly met Lian Ruohan again, but he wanted to have an extra sister out of thin air, which was really aggrieved, so he didn't want to call Lian Ruohan Sister Lian. It's just that the wood is already in the boat, and he can't help it.

Xia Xiang smiled and said nothing, although Cao Yongguo is the Shaoqing of Honglu Temple, in the place where high-ranking officials in the capital gather, he is just an official from the five grades, with Lian Ruohan's vision and power, Cao Yong decisively can't get into her eyes, she and Cao Shuli became sisters when they first met, and the intention was obviously not to make friends with the Cao family.

So what is Lian Ruohan's intention? Xia Xiang didn't dare to speculate, maybe heroes cherish heroes, beauties pity beauties, Lian Ruohan really likes Cao Shuli Cao Xiaoniang. Also, Cao Xiaoniang is gentle and lovely, and her gestures have both the demeanor of everyone's ladies and the grace of a small jasper, and anyone will feel pity when they see it.

Xia Xiang knew that Lian Ruohan must have something to do here, so he asked: "Lian Xiaoniang is here for the emblem?" ”

Lian Ruohan stroked her hair and smiled indifferently: "I am glad to hear that Xia Langjun is on the list, so I am here to congratulate you." The emblem matter, just as we agreed to fulfill it before, in addition, I have another matter to discuss with Xia Langjun. ”

"What's the matter? Catch a son-in-law under the list? Xia Xiang smiled amiably, the good times are often in 1/10,000 of the shares, but a large amount of wealth, it is no exaggeration to say, enough to ensure that there is plenty of food and clothing for a lifetime. With the addition of fame and wealth on the list, how could he not be extremely happy.

What's even happier is that there are two beauties in the dream, and now the two beauties are in front of them, could it really be a dream?

Xia Xiang just thought about it, he knew very well that although he was on the list, the road ahead was still difficult. After the palace examination, whether he is released as an official or enters the Hanlin Academy, he will be shrouded in the shadow of the three princes.

"It's a big deal to catch a son-in-law under the list, and the little woman is just a small thing." Lian Ruohan didn't care about Xia Xiang's jokes, looked at Cao Yongguo and a few people, and stopped talking, as if he wanted to avoid a few people, but he hesitated and said, "Xia Langjun is in the capital, the guest inn is not a long-term solution, and there is a mansion that has been idle, near Taipingju, I want to invite Xia Langjun and Cao Sanlang to stay, I don't know what Xia Langjun wants?" ”

"Okay, even the little lady is gracious, but she is disrespectful, so it is better to be respectful." Cao Shujun didn't wait for Xia Xiang to speak, and immediately agreed, "Xia Langjun, the two of us moved in, just so that we can make a good emblem together, and we don't have to go back and forth." ”

Although Xia Xiang also knew that Lian Ruohan was so generous, he must have ulterior motives for giving away a mansion, but he did not want to refuse, Lian Ruohan and Cao Shuli became sisters, and agreed to exchange the emblem for one ten-thousandth of the equity of Haojingchang, which is obviously in the layout, he does not want to stay away from Lian Ruohan, but also has the heart to make friends, and after Lian Ruohan's generous gift he accepts, he will return it in the future.

How to double the service in the coming day or the matter of the coming day, today's things, first end today. Xia Xiang secretly admired Lian Ruohan's wit, and deliberately brought Cao Shujun with her, because she also knew that Cao Shujun was straightforward, and she wanted Cao Shujun to respond for him.

Lian Ruohan smiled quietly, the corners of his mouth were slightly pursed, there was a shallow expectation in his eyes, and there was a little promotion and tacit understanding, Xia Xiang smiled slightly, pretending to be reserved: "How can this be made?" Reactive power is not punished. ”

"The rent is deducted from the dividends." Lian Ruohan blocked Xia Xiang's back road, a pair of beautiful eyes kept turning, three points of provocation and seven points of cunning.

Well, Xia Xiang was defeated, and it would be hypocritical not to accept it again, so he had to give a salute: "Accept it, accept it." ”

"Sister Lian......" Cao Shuli saw the clue, she was angry, but her face was full of smiles, "Xia Langjun is a life-saving grace in the Cao family, the Cao family has prepared a guest room for Xia Langjun, and I came here today to ask him to move in." Even my sister please take back her kindness and don't plunder the beauty of others. ”

Lian Ruohan lowered his eyelids lightly, turned around and glanced at Cao Shujun, but said to Xia Xiang: "Xia Langjun, whether you come to live in Guanxin Pavilion or go to Cao's Mansion to live in the guest house, listen to it." ”

Cao Shujun was afraid that Xia Xiang was going to Cao's Mansion, so he stood up and was about to speak, but he was glared at by Cao Shuli, he swallowed back the words to his lips, and muttered: "What are you staring at me for?" Originally, it was better to live in your own house than to send someone under the fence. ”

Cao Shuli couldn't wait to kick Cao Shujun, but in front of Lian Ruohan, she couldn't be rude, but in her heart, she hated Cao Shujun for helping outsiders.

Xia Xiang thought for a while, and saluted Cao with a cross hand of Guo Cao Shuli: "Xia has thanked Cao Gong Cao for his kindness, and he likes to live alone in Xia, and he is accompanied by Xiao Wu, in addition to having some things to do with Cao Sanlang, there are also some personal matters to deal with, and it is inconvenient to live in Cao Mansion." I also hope that Cao Gong and Cao Xiaoniang will forgive me. ”

A thick look of disappointment flashed in Cao Shuli's eyes, but Cao Yongguo nodded and smiled: "It's good that Xia Langjun lives in the Guanxin Pavilion, so it's easy to act." The old man still has something to do, so he quit. ”
