After the British Duke made a marriage contract with Zhang Zhang in front of the public that he could only marry Ruochen after he was admitted to the Jinshi, Ruochen has been living with Mrs. Tai in the Anhua Nunnery in the east of the city these days.

This Anhua Nunnery is not as big as the Thousand Buddha Temple and Hongqing Temple in the city, but it is just a small nunnery with three entrances.

Even the Daxiong Hall is not very grand, but this is the place where my grandfather and the old British often come, so Mrs. Tai also eats here and recites Buddha.

Because Mrs. Tai was worried that the British Duke and Wu Sangui would make a temple moth again, she brought Ruochen over to live with her.

At this moment, Ruochen was sitting alone in the nunnery, with two plates of stir-fried side dishes and a bowl of white rice on the table in front of her, which looked exquisite, but it was already cold.

In the last lottery period, my mother proposed to find my grandmother to come forward to make it happen, and now it seems that this is indeed the case.

Grandma's words, my father didn't dare not listen, but my father was also very stubborn, and in the end, he still set the conditions for Zhang Zhang to be admitted to the Jinshi.

Alas, if it is a medical test, the tension will definitely be the first in the world, but these eight strands of literature are probably a little tricky.

Ruochen inevitably has some gains and losses, can he do it in the end?

Two days ago, news came out of nowhere, Gao Yuanliang found him, saying that Zhang Zhang asked him to bring a message to him to help find out the news of Nanjing......

Nanjing?

Miss his sister Liu?

Tension, what the hell do you mean?!

What a ruthless person who is angry and doesn't pay for his life!

Ruochen sighed faintly, a little angry.

Alas, who called himself a lady of everyone, and he had to behave like everyone, and in the end, he asked his eldest brother to help arrange for a ship to go south to listen to the news......

Thinking about it, Ruochen felt more and more aggrieved, and couldn't help but have red circles in his eyes and shed a few tears.

Ruochen took out the handkerchief, gently wiped away his tears, and when he put the handkerchief back on his waist, he inadvertently touched the fan.

Ruochen took the fan off. Slowly opened, and for a while I was a little crazy again!

"If life is only as first seen, what is the autumn wind and sad fan......

Alas, it's really heartbreaking!

Zhang Li is so literate. Presumably the imperial examination should be fine, right?

Why is he so incomprehensible?

I have been with him for a long time, and I have never seen him read any books and five classics!

I haven't seen him read Tang poems and Song lyrics, but how can he make such exquisite words?

Ruochen really couldn't figure out this question, but she was far from the only one who couldn't figure it out, Wu Sangui in the Wu Mansion on Fuchengmen Street. It's the same.

Wu Sangui invited Master Li, the editor of the Hanlin Academy, to the house today, and specifically asked Zhang Li's previous poem 'If life is only as first seen', Lord Li told Wu Sangui very clearly that this poem had never been written before.

At this moment, Wu Sangui was rubbing the sword he was carrying with him, and he was a little angry in his heart.

That tension is just a lifting person, and his high-ranking officials are luring him, but he can't move him, and he also destroys his engagement!

'It's a killer! Wu Sangui scolded angrily, only to hear-

Smack. He drew his sword and slashed at the table!

With a bang, the corner of the case was cut off by a sharp blade, and it flew away without a trace!

Wu Sanbai, the younger brother who was standing on the side, was suddenly startled, and immediately looked at his nose and nose, and he didn't dare to take a breath.

After a long time, Wu Sangui let out a sigh of relief, glanced at his younger brother, and said coldly: "What has happened to that tension in the past few days?" ‘

Wu Sanbai took two steps forward. frowned and said, "Second brother, that kid hasn't been at home these days. ‘

'Where did he go?' ‘

'Dongjiang Rice Lane. ‘

'Ministry of Rites? Did you really go to Xu Guangqi? ‘

Wu Sanbai shook his head: "I don't know this, every time I follow Dongjiang Mixiang, that kid and his subordinates are like loaches." All at once it was gone. ‘

Wu Sangui's eyes narrowed, he thought for a moment, frowned, and said, "I must have gone to find Xu Guangqi, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites." ‘

Wu Sanbai echoed: "Little brother thinks the same way, I'm afraid this kid wants to take a shortcut, let Master Xu guide him." ‘

Wu Sangui blew the blade of the sword, and returned the sword to the sheath. said lightly: "Hmph, Lord Xu's article is naturally good, but the tension boy only thinks of hugging his thighs now, it's too late!" ‘

Wu Sanbai said thoughtfully: "Second brother, that kid's past resume has already been investigated, and the younger brother has already explored it clearly, and he is nothing more than a little Langzhong, he even relied on medical skills to get his identity, how can he make moral articles?" ‘

Wu Sangui nodded, sat down on the Taishi chair, and stopped talking.

Wu Sanbai came up and said viciously: "Second brother, that kid has no foundation in Beijing, so it's better to-"

Speaking of which, Wu Sanbai made a head-cutting action with his right hand!

Wu Sangui snorted coldly and reprimanded: "No foundation is no foundation, but now the whole city knows that he and I robbed his wife, and he was killed, isn't the murderer about to come out?" ‘

Wu Sanbai didn't seem to care, and said: "If you want to come out, you want to come out, and there is no evidence!" Little brother, I collapsed his Nanjing industry before, isn't it like the autumn wind sweeping away the leaves, who dares to say a fart? ‘

Wu Sangui shook his head and said lightly: "Nanjing is Nanjing, Beijing is Beijing, how can we talk about the same day?" The Duchess of England has already looked at him differently, and it will be no good to kill him now. ‘

After a pause, Wu Sangui said proudly: "Don't say that he didn't have an eight-strand literary background before, even if he did, I wanted him to fall to Sun Mountain, and it would be easy!" ‘

Hearing this, Wu Sanbai was taken aback, he was at home in Liaoxi Jiangmen in terms of martial arts, it is no problem to reverse black and white at will, this Wenju is the important weapon of the country, so many pairs of eyes are staring, the second brother also has a way?

'Second brother, this ...... I'm afraid ......'

'What, fourth, don't believe me? ‘

'Faith ......'

'Hmph, you don't believe in normalcy now, you'll know when the exam is over!' ‘

Wu Sangui saw that his younger brother was a little dumbfounded, smiled slightly, and said confidently: "I can't help anyone who is a jinshi, there are too many people who want to go through the back door; If you want to let anyone not win, I, Wu Sangui, can definitely do it! ‘

……

Today is a good day, Zhang Zhang took Gao Yuanliang to Guangqu Gate early in the morning and found a teahouse to sit down.

Zhang Zhang and Gao Yuanliang chatted about the customs of Liaodong without a match, and naturally Zhang Li talked less and listened more. Most of them were Gao Yuanliang talking there.

Zhang Li's mood is very excited, because today, Song Xiuniang, who has been separated for a year, will arrive in Beijing!

The situation over there in Nanjing. Arrangements have been made through the British Government to obtain information as soon as possible.

Although the imperial examination has been postponed now, he cannot easily leave Beijing.

If Wu Sangui said a few words casually, he would run to Nanjing in a hurry, wouldn't he fall for his plan to divert the tiger from the mountain?

There is a British government to help find out the news. I believe that it will not be long before there is definite news.

Now I don't want to think about anything else, so I'll settle my mother first.

After waiting for most of the day, the convoy of the British Mansion finally arrived at Guangqumen.

Zhang Zhang immediately greeted him, and sure enough, on the second carriage, he saw his mother, Song Xiuniang.

When Song Xiuniang saw Zhang Li, she immediately hugged her head and cried, and Zhang Zhang couldn't help but burst into tears.

On the day of separation, I was still a little kid at the beginning, and the encounter in just one year. It's like a dream!

'Big girl, don't cry! You should be happy, our Lianhuatun actually has a lifting man, tsk! ‘

This voice was a little unfamiliar, and when Zhang Li looked back, it was Kang Xing'an's father, Uncle Kang.

'Woo woo woo ......' Song Xiuniang trembled and touched the tension of her hand, and said over and over again, "My son has a chance...... I'm going to have a chance to ......

Zhang Zhang was happy in his heart and introduced Gao Yuanliang to his mother. Then he told Uncle Kang that Anzi ran a medical clinic in Nanjing, and let him come over after a while.

Uncle Kang also knew that there was a war everywhere outside, so he didn't think much about it.

Everyone came to Zhang Li's residence in Beijing - the Sijin Courtyard on Dengshi Street!

Since the mother came. It is inconvenient for Zhang Li to live in the small mansion of the National Mansion.

Therefore, I added this property and can be regarded as having my own home.

Song Xiuniang and Uncle Kang entered the house, and a miscellaneous servant knelt on the ground to greet them, which shocked Song Xiuniang for a while.

She is an old woman who has lived in the remote countryside for decades, where has she seen this?

This walked into the house and entered the house, and there were lanterns and flowers everywhere. In addition to being at a loss, it is dazzling!

'My son has a chance......

These are the words that Song Xiuniang has been hanging on her lips, saying it over and over again, with a smile on her face.

Zhang Zhang took his mother into the room, and after waiting for his mother to sit down, he suddenly knelt down in front of his mother with a plop, and choked up: "Mother, the child is not filial, and it is really unfilial to take his mother to his side for a long time to enjoy happiness!" ‘

Song Xiuniang was startled, tears of joy burst out of her eyes, she helped Zhang Li up, and said, "I also heard something about you on the sea ship before. Alas, what a shame for me! ‘

Zhang Zhang told his mother in detail about what happened this year, and the two couldn't help but sigh.

After a long time, Song Xiuniang gently touched Zhang Li's hand and whispered: "This time it is someone from the Guogong Mansion who came to pick us up, I heard...... I heard that you want to marry the eldest lady of the Guogong Mansion? ‘

Zhang Zhang nodded and said, "Yes, mother, Miss Ruochen of the Guogong Mansion is kind-hearted and very good, and she is the best wife in the child's heart!" ‘

Song Xiuniang said with some trepidation: "Her family is the Guogong Mansion, your father died early, and we are also from ...... Alas, I thought, it would be enough to marry the daughter-in-law of a gentleman's family, and this country would ......

Looking at his mother's somewhat uneasy look, Zhang Li knew that his mother had been poor for most of her life, and her current status as a lifter had made her extremely satisfied.

Ruochen's British Mansion is really a big family that the old man can't imagine.

The mother was a little worried, more precisely, a little inferior.

It's not my mother's fault, it's human nature!

Zhang Li held his mother's hand tightly, very strongly, and said with a smile: "Mother, do you remember? When I woke up from falling off a cliff, I said that I need my mother to live a life of fine food and clothing! ‘

When Song Xiuniang heard this, she couldn't help but be moved: 'I thought it was my son's words to comfort me, but I didn't expect it'......

Zhang Zhang nodded and said firmly: "Don't talk about the children anymore, and the mother will watch with wide eyes!" (To be continued.) )
