The meeting of Qiyun was originally a banquet held by Wang Haoming, a scholar and politician in Guizhou, for Cui Xiangxian, and it was also an important event for the Central Plains Confucian to appear in Guiyang and comment on Guizhou scholars.

Next, anyone's poetry and policy theory seems to have no taste, Cui Xiangxian and Wang Haoming and others are certainly lacking in interest, when those scholars are talking loudly, they feel uncomfortable when they think of Ye Xiaotian's "national scolding" and the scene of using the roast sheep master to ridicule them for talking about grandiose and boastful.

The banquet of Qiyun ended hastily, and Wang Haoming and Cui Xiangxian left in the same car.

Sitting in the car, thinking of a good elegant banquet, and being distracted by such a foolish person as Ye Xiaotian, Cui Xiangxian was still resentful and indignant. Wang Haoming comforted with kind words: "Xiangxian, why bother about this matter, your moral articles are famous all over the world, and if you deal with such a vulgar puppet, others will not laugh at him, but will only laugh at you." ”

Cui Xiangxian let out a long sigh and said, "Brother Haoming, if he is really a puppet, no matter how ugly he says, I won't take it to heart." Shall we, who are scholars, see as we as those of those kind? But this Ye Xiaotian still has the identity of a showman, it is really a shame for Shilin! ”

Wang Haoming smiled faintly and said, "Don't worry, he is a talent, and he will not be there soon." ”

Cui Xiangxian's eyes lit up and said, "Brother Haoming, do you mean ......?" ”

Wang Haoming said: "Guizhou's culture and education are not prosperous, especially Tongren, but the ridiculous Zhang Yi has always boasted of being romantic, and he has not produced a talent for five years under his rule." At the beginning of the year, Li Zhongyin, the teacher of Tongren Mansion, was severely lectured by me, saying that he could not make any changes, so I removed him from his post as a teacher. Who knew that in just a few months, Tongren would come out with Ye Xiaotian's talent......"

Cui Xiangxian suddenly said: "I'm afraid there is a big way in this." ”

Wang Haoming sneered: "In my opinion, I'm afraid it's not that there is a big way, but that there must be a problem." This year's 'annual exam', I will personally go down to inspect it. I won't go anywhere else, but I must go to Tongren, and ...... then."

When Cui Xiangxian heard this, he couldn't help but smile knowingly.

The so-called "annual examination" is a re-examination every year after Xiucai is admitted. This is to prevent students from regressing in their studies. If you fail to pass the "annual examination", you will be deprived of your qualifications for the show, and only the meritorious service of more than one person will be determined for life.

And this "annual examination" was not tested by the local government and examiners who selected him, but by the higher-level academic and political yamen to evaluate it. This is also the reason why Li Zhongyin has not won a show talent for five consecutive years, the local scholars are too poor, even if he wins, he will still be deprived of the fame of the show talent during the "annual test", why bother?

It wasn't until Wang Xuezheng severely criticized Li Zhongyin's political achievements that Li Zhongyin was forced to be helpless, so he decided to deal with the past by deception for the time being. As long as Ye Xiaotian's talent is not too good to learn, when the academic and political yamen sends someone to take the annual exam, he will give some gifts and bribes. Maybe you'll be able to fool the past.

But today, Ye Xiaotian was arrogant in Qiyun Pavilion, insulting Cui Xiangxian and a group of scholars, and Wang Xuezheng, the host of the banquet, also felt that his face was dull, and he couldn't help but be really angry. In the past, he sent people to various places to preside over the "annual examination". Now that he decided to go to Tongren in person, he was naturally determined to win Ye Xiaotian's fame, but Cui Xiangxian was angry when he heard it.

After Wang Haoming finished speaking, his brows suddenly furrowed again. Suspiciously, he said to Cui Xiangxian: "By the way, the poem that Ye Xiaotian chanted just now...... What's going on? It's obviously bullshit, why are you still touting it? ”

Cui Xiangxian's face flushed. After a long time, he told the truth to his friend: "Hey! Brother Haoming, do you know that Ye Xiaotian's treacherous thief, that limerick poem was not made by him at all, but by Zhang Yi, the prefect of Tongren. ”

Wang Haoming was stunned and said, "Ah! Zhang Fatzi ......"

Cui Xiangxian smiled bitterly: "It's not!" When I returned to my hometown, Zhang Yi once held a banquet to entertain me, and during the banquet, I was complacent and chanted this bullshit limerick, and said that this was a new work of his recently. This poem is certainly bullshit, but how do you ask the foolish brother to answer? ”

Although Cui Xiangxian is a procurator and scholar in Guizhou, and is in charge of Guizhou's judicial prison and education, he can be regarded as a high power, but he is still much inferior to the hereditary and reckless emperor of the Tixi Zhang family. Wang Haoming thought about it for a long time, thinking that if Zhang Yi chanted this poem in front of him, I am afraid that he would also have to praise a few words with his conscience, and the two couldn't help but look at each other and smile bitterly......

Cui Xiang first arrived in Guiyang after living in Wang Haoming's according to the inspection of the department, the two just came back from the banquet, both were a little drunk, after returning to the mansion, they dispersed, to their own residence to rest for a while.

Wang Haoming arrived at the flower hall of the back house, and instructed the maid to bring him a bowl of sobering soup, and was slowly sipping, when a shrewd little man rushed in at a trot, leaned into his ear and whispered a few words to him.

Wang Haoming frowned slightly when he heard this, and said strangely: "Red Maple Lake Xia Family? Didn't you see it at the banquet just now, why did he come to visit again? Invite him in! ”

After a while, a tall old man with a red face strode in, and the little man couldn't catch up with him at a trot. The tall old man stepped into the flower hall, and when he saw Wang Haoming, he arched his hand and said in a rough voice: "Wang Zhaocha, Xia is polite, and he takes the liberty of disturbing and praying for forgiveness." ”

Wang Haoming hurriedly greeted him and said, "Where did Brother Xia come from, why should you be so polite between you and me." Hurry up, come up, come on, watch the tea! ”

Wang Haoming instructed the maid to serve a cup of tea to Father Xia, and then asked with a smile: "Wang and Brother Xia were still drinking and enjoying in the Qiyun Pavilion just now, but I don't know if there is anything that is not good to say in person, so I want to rush at this time?" ”

Father Xia frowned, seemed to be a little embarrassed, and said, "Wang Zhaocha, I, Xia is a big old man, and I won't talk around and wipe my feet, so I won't talk politely to you." I'm here today for one thing, our Xia family, we want a quota this year! ”

Wang Haoming stayed there for a long time when he heard this, and then said: "Brother Xia, your Xia family in Hongfeng Lake has always cared little about the imperial examination, why do you ...... this year?"

Father Xia said impatiently: "Isn't that what I care?" Wang Zhaocha, you are also a student in this province, who is admitted or not, that is, you say a word, you can tell me clearly. Do you give this quota? ”

Wang Haoming said hesitantly: "Actually, the imperial court has always taken care of all the big toasts, and for the lifters, it has always tacitly allowed to take out part of the quota, so that the children of the toast family who are interested in learning, but are a little lacking in knowledge." It's just that Brother Xia, since you intend to ask for a lifting quota, you should have proposed it earlier, and now that all the toasts have said hello, if you want to change something......"

Before he finished speaking, Daddy Xia glared at the bull's eye. said: "Isn't there no list yet?" There is nothing that can't be changed. Wang Zhaocha, you don't have to be embarrassed, you just need to allow me a quota, you don't have to worry about other things, if anyone is unwilling, you sue me, I will go and talk to him! ”

Daddy Xia stretched out his big fan-like hand, slammed the table, and shouted, "His grandmother's." For so many years, my Lao Xia family has never asked for a lifting quota, and I want one this year, so I don't believe it. Who the hell would dare to tease me with bees and sting, and find it unpleasant! ”

Wang Zhicha hurriedly persuaded: "Brother Xia is angry, angry." This one...... It's reasonable, since your brother Xia has opened his mouth, this year's quota will be raised. Everyone should let one out. That's it! The little brother promised you first, but you toast you, I have to trouble your brother to say hello. ”

Father Xia turned his anger into joy and said, "Make it." I'll talk to them when I get back. ”

Wang Zhicha helplessly ordered someone to take the pen and ink, held the pen in his hand, and said to Father Xia: "But I don't know who the surname of the person Brother Xia wants to take, if he has not participated in the examination, even if the younger brother wants to take care of it, but there is nothing he can do." ”

Father Xia said: "Don't worry, that person has naturally participated in the current science examination, his surname is Ye, and he is the Ye Xiaotian who chanted a good poem in Qiyun Pavilion today!" Hehehe, he's quite talented, right? ”

Wang was stunned for a moment, his face was ugly, he was already determined to find a ballast to take away Ye Xiaotian's fame, but now he wants to take him as a person? Wang Jicha hesitated for a long time, and then said with some displeasure: "Brother Xia, this Ye Xiaotian...... He's not like Xia! ”

Father Xia said angrily: "Who said it wasn't? But...... I don't know what medicine my old man took wrong, he has to give that bastard a fame, what can I do? ”

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

After Ye Xiaotian and Xia Yingying left Nanming River and returned to Guiyang City, Yingying took Xiaolu and Xiaowei back to Xiafu. Along the way, Yingying was much less cheerful than usual, she had always been carefree, in fact, there was nothing in the Xia family that she needed to worry about, and now she began to learn to think about things.

Career and love can promote maturity, for women in this era, there is almost no zài career, and the biggest impact on her can only be love.

A girl like Yingying, once she likes someone, she won't think too much about those related factors, and in the eyes of a girl like her, reason can never overcome emotion. But that doesn't mean she's completely blind to the difficulties she will face. She also thinks about how she will face it if that day does come, or how she will solve it.

Xiao Lu quietly observed Yingying's expression, and whispered to Xiaowei: "Yingying seems to have something on her mind." ”

Xiao Wei couldn't help but smile: "How is it possible, we Yingying never have anything in our hearts." ”

Xiao Lu shook his head and said: "People will always grow up, I think she really seems to have something on her mind, I'll ask her in a while." ”

Yingying returned to her lodging and sat on a swing in the garden, bending her body for a while, biting her lower lip in a daze.

Xiaolu gently walked over to her and held the swing, Yingying glanced up at her, and slowly lowered her head. Xiao Lu said softly: "Yingying, if you have anything on your mind, you might as well tell me." ”

Yingying shook her head and didn't speak, Xiaolu walked around in front of her, squatted down, and stared at her with big eyes for a moment. After a stalemate, Yingying finally couldn't help but say quietly: "Brother Xiaotian...... Be...... The Venerable of the Gu God Sect. ”

Xiao Lu raised his eyebrows slightly: "Gu God Sect? Sounds familiar......"

Yingying told Xiao Lu about the situation of the Gu God Sect that Ye Xiaotian introduced to her, and Xiao Lu's eyes widened suddenly: "Twenty years? Are you saying that in twenty years at most, he will have to leave you and go deep into the mountains and forests? What's the difference between that and ordination? ”

"Shh

Yingying hurriedly looked around and whispered, "Brother Xiao Tian is such a smart person, he will definitely come up with a solution." My father didn't approve of me being with him, and if he knew about it ......, I would have told you that you were the best sister, and you must not say it. ”

Xiao Lu nodded hurriedly: "Hmm! I understand, I understand! I'm not going to say it. ”

After a pillar of incense, in a corner at the end of the winding corridor, Xiao Wei's eyes widened and said, "What? Twenty years, how can it be, twenty years later, Yingying is only in her thirties, do you have to be widowed for him? ”

Xiao Lu hurriedly said: "Shhh Be quiet. Yingying gave him a heart, can you make her change her mind? I wonder if there is no solution to this matter, but I can only say it to you when you are the best sister, and you must not say it. ”

Xiao Wei nodded hurriedly: "Hmm! I understand, I understand! I'm not going to say it. ”

After the time of the two pillars of incense, in the rockery vine, Xiaowei complained to Xiaofang, the personal maid beside Yingying's mother, with a sad face: "You also know that Xiaolu and I are going to marry with Yingying." But that guy is going to be a 'monk' in twenty years, what should I do then? ”

Xiao Wei pursed her lips and said, "Naturally, I am not comparable to Yingying, but I am also the little princess of the Qune tribe!" Sisters serving a husband together are enough to be wronged, and they can only be husband and wife with him for 20 years, and they are aggrieved and panicked when they think about it. ”

Xiao Fang widened a pair of dark eyes, and said in surprise: "It's only been twenty years, ah, well, ......, one point for the three of you is equivalent to one person who has been a husband and wife with him for six or seven years, and he has lost a lot." ”

Xiaowei sighed and said, "Who said it wasn't? But Yingying is dead-eyed, she knows about it, and she still likes him. Yingying said that he would definitely come up with a solution, but I don't know if it's true. Hey, let's take it one step at a time. By the way, I told you when you were the best sister, so you must not say it. ”

Xiao Fang nodded hurriedly: "Hmm!" I understand, I understand! I'm not going to say it. ”

After the time of the three pillars of incense, the other three Xiao Sakura, Xiao Xue and Xiao Li of Mrs. Xia's four major maid rings, Xiao Xue and Xiao Li listened to Xiao Fang's explanation of Ye Xiaotian's "monk" after twenty years, Xiao Fang finished speaking, and then instructed: "I can only tell you when you are the best sister, you must not say it!" ”

Sakura, Yuki, and Lily nodded like chickens pecking rice: "I understand!" I understand! I'm not going to say it. ”

After the time of the four pillars of incense, Mrs. Xia knew, and then Old Man Xia and Father Xia, who had just returned to the house to return to Lao Tzu, also knew......

As a result, Yingying, who is growing up, learned the first lesson of her life class: women can't keep secrets!

:Yes! Teacher Guan told you: Generally speaking, the maximum period for a woman to keep secrets is 47 hours and 15 minutes. So, men have secrets not to tell women!
