Wang Xiucai came up the mountain. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Seeing this goods running up from below in a hurry, Liu Yuanshan knew that something was wrong.

Now Lao Wang is studying at home to prepare for the exam, if it was an ordinary trivial matter, he would definitely order Wang Wu to run to the mountain to spread the word about himself, but now that he actually went up the mountain in person, there seems to be something wrong.

"It's all my fault!" Wang Xiucai had a bitter face, looked at Liu Yuanshan and explained: "San Lang, something is wrong!" ”

"How?" Hearing what he said, Liu Yuanshan was a little furious in his heart.

"Alas, it's all my fault!" Wang Xiucai said: "The last time the child test was registered, if you didn't participate in the child test, the four of them couldn't join the guarantee, so I had to ask them to find another person to come over, and later, they ......."

Wang Xiucai wanted to speak and stopped, but finally explained the cause and effect of the matter.

It turned out that there were not five people together that day, and Liu Xiaozhong and the others were a little anxious, and asked Wang Xiucai why Saburo didn't participate in the imperial examination, Wang Xiucai didn't think so much at the time, so he said it truthfully.

In order to protect his disciples and not let others have the idea of slander, he also deliberately described Liu Yuanshan as a scholar who did not love the imperial court and was indifferent to fame and fortune, and he almost became a master in the world.

As a result, the news that Liu Yuanshan was determined not to take the imperial examination spread.

came and went, and in less than half a month, these words were deliberately arranged by some well-intentioned people to reach King Xiang's mansion, and they were personally delivered to King Xiang's ears.

Why did King Xiang take a fancy to Liu Yuanshan? Love its talent?

That's nonsense, he looked at Liu Yuanshan's future and official career, so at that time, he hinted at the promise of his daughter to him, and then after thinking about it carefully, he was slightly remorseful, but thinking that Liu Yuanshan was indeed a talent, he smiled and thought that even if his daughter married him, it would be fine.

But when he heard that Liu Yuanshan had no intention of taking the imperial examination, his mind suddenly changed.

Who is King Xiang, that is an old fritter who has been in the upper class for decades and has done everything in the struggle for power and profit, in the face of Liu Yuanshan, who has no career to speak of, will he offend those other scholars who cling to him?

No way!

But he also had a trace of unwillingness in his heart, in order to save face and give his daughter a face, he did not directly send someone over to break off relations with Liu Yuanshan in person, but gave the young man a chance, hoping that he would turn back.

After all, there is only one young man who is the same size as his daughter and has such talent, and the key is that his daughter also likes.

So, Zhu Qi is here.

So, the spring smoke also came in a hurry.

They did not enter Liujia Village directly, but went to Zhao's house, which had a good relationship with Zhu Qi, and ordered someone to go to Wang Xiucai's house to deliver a message and ask Liu Yuanshan what to say.

Wang Xiucai only knew the general intention of Zhu Qi's visit this time, and was not familiar with the details, so he seemed a little flustered. If he had known that King Xiang had left Liu Yuanshan a chance, he would definitely try his best to persuade him as an apprentice.

When the two walked into Zhao's house in Zhao Wangzhuang, the sun was already setting. On an early spring evening, the sky was as blue as a wash, and only a patch of crimson was painted far away in the west, which looked bright and beautiful.

Zhu Qi was sitting in the courtyard of the back garden of the Zhao family, drinking tea with Zhao Shiheng, Zhao Yuanwai, and when he saw Liu Yuanshan coming, he slowly got up, bowed to him, and arched his hand, the corners of his mouth slowly pulled up, and said with a smile: "Liu Jiasanlang, don't come to harm." ”

This is a person who is not easy to expose himself, but judging from the smile on Zhu Qi's face, he can't see any contempt or contempt, of course, he can't see any enthusiasm with indifference, but his etiquette is enough, so that people can't find fault with it.

This kind of person is the most difficult to deal with!

Liu Yuanshan secretly took a deep breath, returned the same courtesy, showed a sincere smile on his face, abandoned the trace of unhappiness and fear in his heart, and said, "Seventh Master Zhu, I haven't seen you for a long time." ”

Liu Yuanshan is also faint, no sadness or joy, so that people can't see his emotions at the moment.

"You may be seated!" Zhao Shiheng, the head of the Zhao family, personally stood up and invited a few people to sit down, and several people sat around a rather delicate stone table in a large circle.

In addition to Liu Yuanshan, Zhu Qi and Zhao Shiheng, there are also Wang Xiucai, Zhao Heng and Zhao Yuan, who threatened Liu Yuanshan last time.

"Good tea!" Wang Xiucai took a sip of tea to break the cold scene, but no one responded as soon as his words came out, and the whole field seemed even colder, which made Wang Xun embarrassed.

"Liu Sanlang!" Zhu Qi squinted slightly, took a sip of tea, put the white porcelain cup on the stone table in front of him, and said, "The prince asked me to come over, I have a few words I want to ask you, I hope you will answer truthfully." ”

As soon as he said this, the eyes of everyone on the table suddenly converged here.

Liu Yuanshan nodded indifferently and took a sip of tea.

"Okay, the prince asked me to ask you, why didn't you sign up for the children's examination this spring?" After finishing speaking, Zhu Qi felt that this kind of aggressive and strong was not the consistent style of the palace, so he added: "You know, the prince cares about you very much, he just wants to know the reason, and has no other meaning!" ”

Doesn't it mean anything else?

Liu Yuanshan sneered in his heart, and then said indifferently: "There is no special reason, but I didn't want to sign up at that time, so I didn't report." ”

He said a word, and almost sprayed tea with everyone on the table, including Wang Xiucai.

I didn't want to sign up at that time, so I didn't report, can the scientific expedition be so casual?

"Don't want to sign up at the time?" Zhu Qi took a deep breath, changed his question, and said, "It is rumored outside that Liu Sanlang has no intention of taking the imperial examination in your life, I don't know if this is true?" Is Liu Sanlang really unintentional? ”

"What's this?" Liu Yuanshan raised his eyes and was about to answer, when he suddenly saw Zhao Heng next to him looking at him with special attention, as if he was concerned about his own future.

Liu Yuanshan thinks it's very interesting, does this thing really care about me?

That's impossible, and I must be expecting me to say something that I won't take in my life.

Turning his gaze to Zhu Qi's face, he didn't say anything.

"Who knows?" Liu Yuanshan said: "In case of ...... in the future"

Every time he said a word, he saw Zhao Heng's expression move, Zhao Heng's face changed from anticipation to excitement, and when he heard Liu Yuanshan say the word "what if", he became a little gray again, as if he was afraid that he would go to the exam.

"Liu Sanlang can't go around in circles, the prince needs a clear answer from you!" Zhu Qi was a little impatient.

Liu Yuanshan was also impatient, and stopped continuing to tease Zhao Heng, but immediately changed his face to a serious face, and said, "Yes, that's not a rumor, it's true." The kid really has no intention of going to court, I'm afraid he will never participate in the imperial examination in his life. ”

Straight to the point, you can best see a person's attitude. Whether this old guy Xiangwang is a lover or a powerful man, after this layer of window paper is pierced, he can naturally see it clearly. (To be continued.) )
