A few young people got together and soon became friends who talked about everything, especially in the early days, and they wanted to be together every day.

Ma Yu was a little late in Xu Hao's words, and he didn't know that he had been targeted by Princess Jiaxing, or maybe he knew it in his heart and deliberately pretended to be confused.

In fact, most people are not very optimistic about him and Jiaxing, but Ma Yu is burdened with the high hopes of the entire Jiangbei Shilin, is the champion easy to test? After the age of thirty, champions abound, and if you become a concubine, you can't take the imperial examination.

Even if Ma Yu can be the champion in high school in the past few years, and the marriage between the champion and the princess seems to be beautiful, but it is a bit outrageous. Because since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, it seems that there has never been a precedent for the champion to marry a princess.

Only Xu Hao is optimistic about his success, and the princess of this dynasty basically has no say in politics, and she gradually changes from marrying meritorious children to ordinary people. Is there any problem with Ma Yu marrying Jiaxing? Zhu Di is no longer alive, she is just the emperor's sister.

To put it bluntly, the rules are set by people, and he can't see that anyone in the court will jump out to obstruct this matter.

What Xu Hao is most worried about is that for example, Ripple has a crush on Ma Yu, Lan Xiang falls in love with Xu Ye, and Xiangyue is in love with her cousin Xu Yu.

However, although Xue Shangwen refused to marry his cousin, he didn't seem to be happy that his cousin would give it to Lai Yuanchu, and Lai Yuanchu also had some knots in his heart because of this, so the two of them were at odds with each other.

Ma Yu treats them in general, and the two often bring the text to him for advice, and if there is something bad about the text, Ma Yu will directly erase it.

didn't want Lai Yuanchu to be selfish, so he secretly begged Ma Yu to help him change the article, and then wrote it out himself and sent it to Xu Zengfu to read, while Xue Shangwen honestly presented it in the original pen.

Xu Zengfu often commented on it after reading it. In this way, Xu Song and his family thought that the nephew of the Lai family was better than the nephew of the Xue family, and soon after the ripples, they also thought that Lai Yuanchu was better than Xue Shangwen.

The crown prince Zhu Zhanji was not in the capital, the prince of the country and the clan school were on vacation, and several young people were in Xu Zengfu's study every day to warm their books. On this day, Ma Yu read Xue Shangwen's article again, deleted and corrected it for him, and explained what was inappropriate.

It happened that Xu Zengfu and his second brother Xu Qingtang walked in with a smile. Said: "What to write? Show it to me. ”

Xue Shangwen sent the text up, Xu Zengfu looked at it and praised it; "Yes, this article is better than before, which shows that you have worked hard."

Xu Qingtang said with a smile: "Today, the Poetry Society in the Garden also said that it requires individuals to help evaluate the poems, so let Shangwen go." ”

Xue Shangwen said modestly: "The children's talents are far inferior to the sisters in the garden, and they dare not evaluate it, but it is an honor to have the opportunity to read it." ”

In this way, he was able to follow Xu Ye and Ma Yu to the Ripple Residence. This made Lai Yuanchu very jealous, so he had a plan to plot against him.

Lai Yuanchu is quite scheming, and all the articles that he asks Ma Yu to help him correct will be copied separately. I'm about to burn all the originals. Xue Shangwen is a careless person, and the corrected articles are all placed on the desk and not cleaned up.

At the moment, when no one was around, Lai Yuanchu stole those words. When Xu Zengfu came to the library, he deliberately put the paper on the table, so that Xu Zengfu could see it inadvertently.

Xu Zengfu picked it up and took a look. After being silent for a long time, he sent someone to call Ma Yu secretly to him, and complained: "Why did you change the article for Xue Shangwen to lie to me?" Outrageous. ”

Ma Yu saw that Mr. Yu complained, and he didn't dare to say that even Lai Yuanchu's articles were often revised for him, so Xu Zengfu became more and more convinced that Xue Shangwen's writing was not as good as Lai Yuanchu's.

It turned out that the Xue family already wanted to marry Xiangyue home, who made Xu Zengfu regard Xiangyue as the pearl of his palm, and Xu Hao also regarded it as out. In the past, he was a concubine, but now his mind has completely changed, and under the influence of this, Xue Shangwen is also a little undecided.

I want my cousin to have good looks, to be talented, to have good conduct, and it is impossible to have a good feeling without a little goodwill.

In the evening, Xu Song and his family went to the upper room, and Xu Zengfu said: "The children of the Lai family are good." ”

Yuan struck while the iron was hot and said: "Xiangyue is not small, it's time to make a family affair." ”

Xu Zengfu smiled: "You are parents, it's up to you to decide." ”

The Liu family, who had just recovered from a serious illness, did not speak, with the current Xu family, there is no need to marry with the emperor's relatives, and then Xiangyue is a concubine after all, for the sake of the child's future, it is better not to let her marry into the royal family or the family of powerful ministers, so as not to be despised by her mother-in-law's family.

Xu Song thought for a moment and said, "Now it seems that since the nephew of the Lai family is better than the literary talent, he can match Xiangyue." ”

Liu couldn't help but say: "But the Lai family is gone, although our family is not rare and the other party is powerful, but it can't be nothing, right?" ”

Yuan said with a smile: "Mother, don't say that Yuan Chu's literary talent is better than Shang Wen, even if the two are almost the same, the daughter-in-law also thinks that Yuan Chu is suitable." ”

Xu Zengfu said in surprise: "Why is this? ”

Yuan said: "My daughter-in-law thinks that Shang Wen is a child of your family, can she miss the right family affairs?" Giving Xiangyue Xu to the Xue family is nothing more than icing on the cake. But at the beginning of the year, he had no father and no mother and relied on our family, who would be willing to marry his daughter to him? Let's send charcoal in the snow, isn't it better than icing on the cake? At the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty, when he joined our Xu family, his daughter-in-law had an extra helper by her side, and her father and mother did not have to worry about Xiangyue's life in her mother-in-law's house in the future. ”

Xu Zengfu and Xu Song's father and son nodded again and again, and said, "That's what I said." ”

Liu also said: "Anyway, they are all children who want to take the imperial examination, and the chances of being in the early Yuan examination are greater, and Xiangyue is an official wife, and I am also content." ”

Of course, in the end, Xu Hao needs to nod himself in the end, but if the two of them have the same character, Xu Hao will naturally not make a hindrance from it, and Yuan will send the nurse to Lai Yuanchu, so that he can be prepared in his heart, so that he can show himself more in front of the elders.

Lai Yuanchu was naturally overjoyed, and privately met Xu Song to change his name to father-in-law, and Yuan family to be his mother-in-law.

Even Xu Zengfu was extraordinarily affectionate when he saw Lai Yuanchu, not as polite as Xue Shangwen, so he couldn't help but become more and more estranged.

Xue Shangwen felt uncomfortable, he already knew the reason, and said indignantly that his literary talent may not be better than mine, but he used fraud to earn this family business, and he is really a villain.

But who made him personally say no before? It's too late to say anything at the moment, and when I think of seeing my cousin in the garden the day before yesterday, she is even more beautiful and lovely than last year. I couldn't help but feel very disappointed.

As the saying goes, what you can't get is the best, and after this incident, Xue Shangwen came to love three points, and at this time it also rose to six points.

In the evening, depressed, he went out for a walk and returned, and saw the little chess boy squatting under the porch to make a sencha, muttering that Lai Gongzi was not good.

The chess boy is 12 years old this year, with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, and it is said that his father died and his mother remarried, and his background is very pitiful.

Xue Shangwen asked, "What's wrong?" ”

The chess boy said: "Lai Gongzi is not a good person, he often coaxes me to the room. Fuck my ass. ”

Xue Shangwen laughed and said: "It turns out that he is fake and honest in front of people, but he is so unserious in secret. ”

The little thing between the son and the little guy is too common in the cultural circle, Xue Shangwen didn't take it seriously, he just made fun of him for not being serious.

Unexpectedly, the chess boy said again: "Not only did he fuck my ass, but he also fucked the butt of Aunt Zhang's inner house." ”

Xue Shangwen was taken aback, isn't that nurse Zhang Xiangyue's nurse and Yuan's henchman? Hurriedly pulled him aside and asked for details.

The chess boy said: "I got up the night before to pay respects. I don't know how the door of his room opened, so I went over and closed it. Under the moonlight, I saw Zhang's mother lying on the ground like a horse, and her culottes were faded to the side. Showing her white ass, Lai Gongzi was playing beside her. ”

Xue Shangwen asked, "You weren't found?" ”

"See." The chess boy grinned, "They were so frightened that they repeatedly told me not to say it." Lai Gongzi also said that he would give me money. Bah! It's been two days, and I haven't seen the money, but he wants to coax me to go to the back study to do that. I'm not ashamed. ”

Xue Shangwen said with a smile: "Mother Zhang is in her forties, and she is still so romantic. ”

The chess boy said: "She is old, but she is not old." ”

"Haha!" Xue Shangwen stroked his palms and laughed, and improvised a dozen limerick poems, "The old lady secretly made an appointment with the little enemy and sneaked to the study to climb the horse; The boy doesn't know how to carry the water array, and he says the wrong thing to people. ”

Back in the room, Xue Shangwen couldn't help but make four more five-character slang poems to ridicule Lai Yuanchu, who was laughing there, Xu Ye walked in, asked him what he was laughing at, picked up the paper and looked: "Lao Lai is really a scoundrel, he is as bold as the sky, men and women come together, and young and old love each other." ”

Xu Ye was surprised and said, "Brother Lai actually did such a thing? However, such ugly things should not be publicized, Brother Xue, you still have to hide your shortcomings, don't say it. ”

Xue Shangwen agreed, and only a day later, Xu Ye asked Yuan to come forward and send Zhang's mother away under the pretext of other faults, and even the chess boy was arranged to work elsewhere. In addition, an adult steward was arranged to guard the gate, and an old man was replaced to serve Lai Yuanchu.

Xu Ye didn't say anything about this to anyone, even in front of Lai Yuanchu, Xue Shangwen saw him deal with him like this, he was loyal and old, and he was very respectful, but he didn't know that Xu Ye still said it to someone.

The next day, Xiangyue presided over the poetry club and specially invited them to go.

This is the first time Lai Yuanchu has entered the Xufu Garden, and in the warm pavilion of the island in the middle of the lake opposite the Ripple Residence, he saw Zhang Lianyi, Ye Qin, Princess Jiaxing and Lin Wenjing, plus the beauties of the Xu family, which made Lai Yuanchu dizzy.

Xu Xiangyue said: "Writing poems and flying flowers has become a custom, today invite two cousins, let's live on the spot, change the flower word to the word medicine, use the poetry of the ancients, the word medicine is in front of which person, that is, drink a cup." ”

"It's funny." Ripple said with great interest: "The elder brother of the Xue family is the oldest here, let him come and order." ”

Xue Shangwen couldn't refuse, thought about it, drank a glass of wine, and said: "Then I'll say it first, the senior monk who planted medicine sent Yuzhi." ”

It happened that the word medicine was on Xiangyue, Xiangyue took a drink and said, "The name of the medicine mountain is hidden." ”

When it was Xu Ye's turn, Xu Ye drank it and said, "The great prescription is from the birth master." ”

"Shan Chongxiao produces medicine and seedling fertilizer." Jiaxing smiled and picked up the cup, and the others laughed, and sure enough, Ma Yu scratched his head, and after drinking a cup, he said: "The hibiscus fence protection medicine is the way." ”

This time it was Xue Shangwen's turn again, Xue Shangwen glanced at his cousin and said, "Chang'e should repent of stealing the elixir." (To be continued......)
