"Nonsense, what raw rice is cooked into rice? Have your brother-in-law who talks like that? Xu Xinyi slapped Qin Lin in the face, and cheered up Zhu Yaoyuan, who was always hanging her head and blushing and shy: "Don't be shy, cousin, it's been a year or two since you got married, come out bravely, let's prepare in advance!" ”

Although Zhu Yaoyuan is only fourteen years old, it is very common for a woman in the Ming Dynasty to marry at the age of fifteen or sixteen.

Hearing her cousin Xu Xinyi's encouragement, the eldest princess finally mustered up her courage, but she still lowered her head, her lips pursed, and her voice was as soft as a mosquito: "What if, if others hate me very much?" ”

"How so?" Xu Xinyi hugged him vigorously: "Cousin, you have a noble status, you are the princess of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yi...... No, His Majesty Wanli's compatriot sister, proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, embroidery and female red, gentle and beautiful, everyone likes it when they see it, right? Hey, Qin Lin, you have something to say! ”

The little kid wants to have no breasts, no buttocks, and he looks like a Lin Daiyu all day long, cut~~ Qin Lin thought so in his heart, pursed his lips to express his disdain, and couldn't help Xu Xinyi's apricot eyes next to him were round, so he had to echo against his will: "Yes, yes, what a beautiful little girl, everyone loves her, wahaha......"

This guy smiled weirdly, stretched out his paws very unimaged, and rubbed Zhu Yaoyuan's head.

Xu Xinyi knew that Qin Lin couldn't help but hear the voice, and pinched him hard under the table, making him grin in pain, and he felt a little proud in his heart.

Mingren aesthetics like thin eyebrows, curved eyes, cherry mouth, delicate girl, if the shoulders are thin, walking like a weak willow supporting the wind, it would be wonderful, and Zhu Yaoyao fully meets these standards, a pair of eyes are even more wet mist, the appearance is called Chu Chu pitiful, it is simply carved out of a mold on the beauty picture.

On the contrary, Miss Xu, a sports beauty with long legs, hips and a small waist, apricot eyes, willow eyebrows and honey-colored skin, is a bit "non-mainstream" at this time, and the literati don't treat it very well.

Qin Lin is the only one who is different, he always ignores his beautiful little sister, but he is very attentive to Miss Xu, and Xu Xinyi's heart is sweet.

After all, Zhu Yaoyuan didn't have much contact, and she didn't hear the taste of Qin Lin's words, she raised her head, looked at him with strange eyes, lowered her head again, and suddenly blurted out somehow: "Impossible, people already have wives......"

After saying this, the eldest princess was so ashamed that her face was red, her eyes were evasive, and she didn't dare to look at Qin Lin, and she regretted it in her heart, how could her daughter's family say this? What a shame! Although he often jokes with his sister and brother-in-law, he shouldn't be so Meng Lang.

Ah, a married man? Qin Lin grinned evilly, and said in his heart This little sister is really a heavy taste, wahahaha~~ Xu Xinyi looked into the Xinke Gongshi group with his eyes wide open, and held his chin with both hands thoughtfully: Gu Xiancheng is a white-faced young man, although he is nearly thirty years old, he is quite handsome, and he is a famous Jiangnan talent, the Huiyuan Gong surnamed Xiao, who is also over thirty years old, is from Hanyang Mansion, Hubei, the land of Jingchu, Zhong Lingyuxiu, and he is not bad, of course, they are all married.

Qin Lin also looked over there, and said naggingly, "Could it be Gu Xiancheng?" The guy embroidered the pillow on the outside and was useless. Hey, could it be that the surname Yang in the poem just now, it seems to be called Yang Hao? Young and handsome, with extraordinary appearance, it's a pity that he listens to the accent like a native of the Central Plains, not the Jiangnan genius that the eldest princess is looking for. ”

Somehow, when Zhu Yaoyuan heard these words from her sister and brother-in-law, her originally tense mood relaxed, and she pursed her lips and smiled softly: Stupid brother-in-law, if you like poetry, calligraphy and painting, you have to marry a Jiangnan talent, then if you like to eat sugar gourds, you have to marry a vendor who sells sugar gourds under the overpass?

Qin Lin and Xu Xinyi looked at the group of tributes and their literary friends, guessing and guessing, and they didn't guess their cousin's thoughts for a long time, and then asked, but Zhu Yaoyi lowered her head and pursed her mouth, refusing to say anything anyway, and snickering quietly from time to time, and I didn't know what she was happy about.

Looking at her, she didn't pay attention to the poems and texts of the tributes, Qin Lin touched his nose, and secretly said that this little cousin is really Ye Gong a good dragon, and he slipped out of the palace, and he was tired of listening to a few words - but Uncle Qin is also tired, haha!

On the table in the middle, Gu Xiancheng had been held high in the clouds, because Xiao Liangyou, the new science association from Hanyang Mansion, Hubei, was extremely modest, and kept saying that it was just a fluke to take the test, and his article was just decent, and it was too far to catch up with Brother Gu's brilliant writing.

That's it, Gu Xiancheng also feels that he is very famous, almost the first person of the younger generation of the government and the opposition, Xiao Liangyou is really one layer behind, and he improvisedly sat down as a protégé of the Son of Heaven during the palace examination, are you afraid that you won't get the champion?

Suddenly, Gu Xiancheng, who was complacent, glanced at Qin Lin in the corner by chance, and suddenly the corners of Gu Xiancheng's mouth had a sneer.

Once you become the champion of the Yuangong, you will order Hanlin, the imperial court system "non-Hanlin will not enter the cabinet", and when the time comes, from Hanlin bachelor to cabinet scholar, then it will be windy and rainy, and Qin someone's little unpleasantness, what is it? When Gu Xie Yuan becomes Gu Bachelor and Gu Ge Lao, he will definitely defeat you, a martial artist, a fortunate minister!

Knowing that Qin Lin's holy family was Youlong, but Gu Xiancheng was a self-proclaimed nobleman, and he was determined to be a famous and straightforward minister of the Qing Dynasty, so he was not afraid of him at all, so he picked up the teacup and walked over in front of everyone, and greeted with a smile: "General Qin, take Nai's family to the teahouse?" Embracing the blessing of Qi people on the left and right, General Qin is really strict in family style, but it is no wonder that Taishan Weng Wei Guogong ...... Ha ha! ”

At this time, women don't show their heads much, Gu Xiancheng obviously laughed at Qin Lin for marrying a fierce wife, relying on the nepotism of Wei Guogong to get to the top, so he was so afraid of guilt, and let his wife mess around after marriage.

A group of new Kegong scholars were born to look down on Qin Lin's "martial artist", "luck", and "factory guard eagle dog", and followed Gu Xiancheng to sneer, only Xiao Liangyou was quite kind, and kept saying good things on both sides.

Xu Xinyi's cheeks were bulging with anger, and for the sake of her cousin Zhu Yaoyuan, she resisted the urge to fight, but Zhu Yaoyuan was so troubled by this misunderstanding that her face turned red from her face to the root of her ears, and she hung her head and didn't say a word.

"Damn, you don't really like this embroidered pillow Gu Xie Yuan, right?" Qin Lin was unhappy, but he greeted Gu Xiancheng with a smile on his face: "Isn't this Gu Xie Yuan, this official came back from taking a bath in Yude Palace, and you finished the exam, I'm really embarrassed, I don't know if you finished answering the questions during the palace exam?" ”

Saying that, Qin Lin laughed twice with bad intentions, so angry that Gu Xiancheng's lungs were about to explode, to be honest, his answer sheet was more than one layer worse than usual, all because of Qin Lin's interference.

"If Gu Xie Yuan has divine help in his writing, even if he is interfered with by your ignorant martial artist, there will be no problem in the slightest," a tribute named Yang Hao replied for Gu Xiancheng.

Another tribute also said: "Gu Xie Yuan is not only decent for the prelude, but also often discusses articles with the two sons of the Jiangling Prime Minister's Mansion, and has won the eyes of the old man Zhang Taiyue, the first auxiliary emperor, and after he enters the department in the future, he will be relied on by the court minister!" How can you compare with our Shilin righteous man and gentleman? ”

Gu Xiancheng raised his face quite smugly: "The two sons of Xiangye, the rhetoric of the article is excellent, and Gu can be said to be sympathetic." ”

Although Zhang Jingxiu and Zhang Maoxiu have good talents and good writing, there is still a slight gap between the papers and Gu Xiancheng, and the tributes are all public about Zhang Jiangling as a country, Zhang Sixiu, the second son of Ding Chouke three years ago, has won the list, and Gengchenke is his turn to be the eldest son and the third son, even if it is to avoid suspicion, he will not make the ranking too high!

Therefore, Gu Xiancheng didn't regard the two Zhang family as competitors in his heart, he had frequent contacts with them some time ago, and he was faintly satisfied with this.

Qin Lin sneered in his belly, Zhang Xiangye's temper was more accurate than Gu Xiancheng's - when it comes to the number of ways of the quasi-old Taishan, can the hairy-footed son-in-law not know?

"So, it seems that Brother Gu is ready to be the champion of Gengchenke?" Qin Linpi arched his hand without smiling: "Qin Mou congratulates him in advance here, just replace the wine with tea, and ask the champion to drink this cup. ”

This is not like what Qin Lin said, Xu Xinyi looked at him in surprise, and said in his heart, is it for Zhu Yao's face? But Gu Xiancheng already has a wife and children at home...... At this time, it is time to soften? Gu Xiancheng sneered, and he wanted to take the tea in Qin Lin's hand in a big way, thinking about it and saying a few more words.

Who knew that Qin Lin's hand suddenly shook, and the hot tea splashed Gu Xiancheng's head and face, and at the same time shouted loudly: "Oh, it's not good, why is Gu Xie Yuan so anxious?" ”

Damn, the blind can see that Qin Lin deliberately splashed it.

Gu Xiancheng was so hot that he was so hot that he was busy wiping it with his sleeve, and he was suddenly embarrassed.

Several tributes were immediately furious, pointing at Qin Lin and scolding: "Shameless scum, factory guard eagle dog, how dare you bully the head of the scholar?" At the feet of the Son of Heaven, how could Beizhen Fusi be rampant and domineering, and if there is a way, he will arrest us all and put us in prison! ”

Don't look at Qin Lin holding the Beizhen Fusi, you must know that the Wenchen of the Ming Dynasty was proud of the court staff, and he was not even afraid of the emperor's court staff, where was he afraid of the Beizhen Fusi? These newborn calves are not afraid of tigers, and they are about to find a way to become famous, and they can't wait to be caught by Qin Lin immediately and put in the edict prison of Fusi in Beizhen, and become "a righteous gentleman persecuted by the factory guard eagle dog", and since then they have become famous all over the world and have been famous for centuries!

"Damn, how can you be a fool of the four or nine cities, and they all like to play masochism?" Qin Lin waved his hand like a fly.

Xu Xinyi crossed her waist and laughed, and Zhu Yaoyao also lowered her head and pursed her mouth.

They also know the story of Sijiu City, the competition of splashy green sticks in this Beijing division is often not to fight with each other, but to smash bricks on their heads, take red-hot coals in their palms, and cut their thighs and drink...... Use these masochistic methods to compare ruthlessness.

Speaking of which, Ke Daoqing was about to provoke the emperor to deceive the Imperial Staff, and these tributes stalked their necks and asked Qin Lin to arrest them and put them in prison, wouldn't it be the same as the splashing green stick?

Gu Xiancheng finally wiped the tea clean, his face was burned red, and he wanted to ridicule him, his literary talent was naturally ten times better than Qin Lin's, but this scolding and bickering was much inferior, and Qin Lin was so angry that he gritted his teeth, and pointed at him "You, you, you" for a long time without saying a word.

Suddenly, several friends dressed as scribes hurriedly ran up, and when they saw Gu Xiancheng like this, they were all stunned.

But the other tributes hurriedly asked, "Is there news from the Ministry of Rites?" Is the top three out of the rankings? ”

The person who came first arched his hand to Xiao Liangyou: "Congratulations to Mr. Xiao, who ranked second in the first class and won the new science list!" ”

Eye-catching? Xiao Liangyou is not disappointed or proud of this news, the position of the list is very good, but he is the Huiyuan who will try after all, and it is natural that he will rank high, and he did not get the champion and won the list, which can be regarded as a result of not being happy or sad.

Now everyone is staring at Gu Xiancheng, since the most competitive Xiao Liangyou is just the leader, then who is the answer to the new champion, isn't it about to come out?

Xiao Liangyou's eyes were a little lonely, his smile was gentle and sincere, and he arched his hand at Gu Xiancheng: "Congratulations to Brother Gu, the new champion is none other than Brother Gu." ”

Gu Xiancheng had that delicious taste, and stared at Qin Lin with great disdain, in his mind, as a new champion, he no longer needed to argue with Qin Lin, a factory guard eagle dog, and he didn't have to lower his worth!

"Brother Xiao agreed, Gu was just lucky for a while...... Gu Xiancheng was humble in his mouth, but everyone could see that he was very proud at this time.

The scribes who came up to report the news looked at each other one by one, and their expressions became extremely embarrassed and strange.

"Mr. Gu and Mr. Gu are the second in the second grade," when he was younger, Qin Lin remembered that he had seen it at the gathering of the two sons of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and the black-faced scribe named Sun Zhisheng said this sentence like a dream, and then arched his hand towards Gu Xiancheng as if he had just reacted: "Congratulations to Mr. Gu, congratulations, congratulations!" ”

Poor Gu Xiancheng at this moment, where is he still happy?

The second place in the second class is actually the second place in the second class! Not even Sandingjia!

Gu Xiancheng only felt that his eyes were dark, and he almost fell.

In addition to the champion, Bangyan, and Tanhua, the top three tripod armor, the next is the second top name commonly known as Chuanyu, and Gu Xiancheng, the second place in the second class, is the fifth place on the entire gold list, which is also a good ranking.

But who is Gu Xiancheng? The literary style of the world's Nanzhili, the township tried to win the Huiyuan Gong, the name of the Jiangnan was spread to the south of the Yangtze River, the world called the talent, the head of the four sons of Jinling, the world's top talent, the result even Sanding Jia and Chuanlu did not get, barely got a fifth place, it is simply a hot stove!

Xiao Liangyou was loyal, and when he saw Gu Xiancheng like this, he felt a little sympathetic in his heart, patted him on the shoulder and comforted him, and asked Sun Zhixian: "Brother Sun Xian, who is the champion of the new department?" ”

"Zhang Mao repairs Zhang Gongzi."

There was an uproar, and all the tributes gasped together, everyone knew that Zhang Maoxiu was the third son of Zhang Juzheng, the first auxiliary emperor, and he actually won the champion!

Gu Xiancheng's face brushed and became extremely ugly.

The praise of others about him just now, saying that he was favored by the prime minister, and that he would be relied on by the first auxiliary emperor in the future, has become a great ridicule now, and jealousy, anger and shame make the anger blazing.

How can Zhang Juzheng be so unscrupulous, how can he be so arrogant? As the first assistant of the emperor, he actually let his son be the champion!

Others also feel the same way, many tributes whispered, feeling that what Zhang Juzheng did was too much, even if Zhang Maoxiu was really talented, he should avoid the melon field and Li Xia! But there are also many clever people who began to praise Zhang Xiangye's family history, and the tiger father has no dog son.

The Jiangling Party is powerful, and it may be a little inconvenient to offend Zhang Xiangye in the officialdom.

Qin Lin sneered again and again beside him, and didn't mind pushing Gu Xiancheng to the edge of the cliff again: "Well, Xiangye is a Jiangling sage, and his family history is genealogy, if I remember well, last time Ding Chouke's list was Zhang Ergongzi!" ”

It's okay not to mention it, but when he mentioned it, Gu Xiancheng was even more jealous and carried away, and immediately sneered and asked, "Brother Sun Xian, do you know how many famous the eldest prince Zhang Jingxiu is?" ”

Sun Zhisheng said honestly: "Thirteen of the second grade." ”

Hiss - everyone gasped, because there were still the first and third in front, and the second and thirteenth were actually the sixteenth in the entire gold list, Zhang Mao Xiu was the champion, Zhang Jingxiu was sixteen, and the ranking of the two brothers was ridiculously high! And three years ago, Ding Chouke, there was still a list of Zhang Sixiu!

You know, the champion, the list of eyes directly awarded to the Hanlin editor, according to the system will have the qualification to enter the cabinet in the future, Zhang Jingxiu's sixteen is not simple, such a high ranking, the selection of Jishi, stay in the museum is almost not a problem, three years later, Hanlin ordered, also have the qualification to be a scholar.

People whispered for a while, their voices lowered, and Gu Xiancheng's poignant voice was particularly abrupt and harsh: "Okay, good, Zhang Xiangye really has a family history, haha, this champion and list are there, if it is not surprising, three years later, Zhang Sigongzi Jian Xiu should be a Tanhualang, right?" ”

Gu Xiancheng's bloody appearance made everyone's hearts awe, and Qin Lin secretly sneered: It's good, it's good, this time you Gu someone is waiting to be unlucky!

Although the black-faced Sun Zhixian sympathized with Gu Xiancheng, he had to tell the truth: "This ...... It is said that the examiners originally scheduled Zhang Sangongzi to be the first in the second class, and His Majesty personally promoted him to the position of champion. ”

Gu Xiancheng gritted his teeth coldly, still looking angry, and said loudly: "Zhang Jiangling has been acting more and more perversely since Ding was worried about his love, and there is no need to talk about anything else, as the first assistant, shouldn't he avoid the melon field and Li Xia?" ”

Hearing this, the tributes stuck out their tongues in unison, and everyone's faces changed, and many of the smoother ones slipped away, not accompanying him to go crazy.

Qin Lin shook his head and sighed, watched Gu Xiancheng leave in a hurry, and stretched out his hands at Xu Xinyi and Zhu Yaoyuan: "Okay, before the ranking is released, it is Xiangye who has blue eyes and will be relied on by the imperial court; As soon as the ranking came out, Zhang Jiangling immediately became obedient...... Tsk, it's really a righteous gentleman in Qingliu, how can you say it! ”

Deliberately making this funny look, Qin Lin secretly observed Zhu Yaoyao's reaction.

The eldest princess was very disdainful, she didn't look at Gu Xiancheng at all, and said in a low voice: "Sven scum!" ”

Hey, what she likes is really not Gu Xiancheng, is it the loyal and honest Xiao Liangyou? When I first heard the tributes talk about poetry, her elated appearance and her eyes were full of little stars, she couldn't have pretended!
