Jia Dexin only burst into tears, and almost hugged Su Qinglang's thigh and kowtowed, thanking him for his great kindness to him.

Seeing this, Su Qinglang's anger in his heart also disappeared a lot, in fact, if he thinks about it carefully, this matter has nothing to do with Jia Dexin, but he is just a certain vertical man who doesn't know the height of the sky, in order to win favors and save face, he was accidentally caught.

Things have developed to this point, and it has something to do with him, although he Su Qinglang is cautious, but he is not an unreasonable person.

What's more, this Jia Dexin will give him a few hundred taels of silver every month, if he loses this financial road, what will he do to support the girl in the Drunken Immortal Building in the future?

The beating has been completed, and the intimidation has already achieved the effect, Su Qinglang will accept it when he sees it, never delay, beat a stick, and throw out a sweet date candied fruit.

So he softened his attitude and sighed: "Lord Jia, what kind of person you are, I actually understand, but I understand, it doesn't mean that everyone else understands, you and I have intersected so far, on the surface, the official position is superior and superior, but in fact, they are good brothers who have been promoted and made a fortune together, if even you are scolding me behind my back, then what is I Su Qinglang in the hearts of others?" ”

Jia Dexin nodded like pounding garlic, pursed his lips, and said continuously: "The lower officials understand, the lower officials all understand......"

Su Qinglang then stood up straight, held a slender waist, glanced at Jia Siqi, and put on an expression of 'your uncle will always be your uncle'.

Waving his fan, he raised his voice and said, "As for Young Master Jia...... After all, officialdom is officialdom, not a corridor in your back garden, today you are fortunate to offend me, I will not take my personal relationship with your father to heart, but if you are dizzy one day, accidentally committed in the hands of Xiangye, you said that at that time you said that you were young and ignorant, I believe, Xiangye and his old man will believe it? ”

At the mention of the prime minister, Jia Dexin trembled three times in fright, and even claimed "don't dare, don't dare", and saw Su Qinglang come over and knock on his chest with a fan.

deliberately lowered his voice, half threatening, half reminding: "Now the situation in the court is very clear, our Xiangye is rich and unstoppable, Lord Jia is a smart person, which team should stand, which team should keep a distance from, think about it yourself, don't fall on both sides of the wall, and in the end, you can't get anything out of the bamboo basket." ”

Jia Dexin sighed, and hurriedly said: "The lower official is loyal to the prime minister and Lord Su, and if Lord Su has something to do, just give an order, and the lower official will definitely go to the soup to fight the fire." ”

Su Qinglang glanced at him, nodded, knocked on his shoulder with a fan, turned around and walked towards the mansion door.

But I heard Jia Dexin ask again: "Master Su, is that ...... About the dog this temple test......"

Su Qinglang stopped, stood in place, glanced at him sideways, did not speak, snorted coldly, shook off the folding fan, and walked into the courtyard.

Jia Dexin realized his mistake, immediately covered his mouth, looked around, saw that no one was paying attention, and then pulled his son and walked along the path secretly.

In the Shangshu Mansion, Su Qinglang yawned for a long time, wore flowers and willows all the way, and soon came to the backyard, but saw that the courtyard was full of boxes, large and small, about seventeen or eighteen.

The housekeeper greeted him, presented a stack of gift slips, and said, "My lord, that Lord Jia also gave a gift, this ...... Do we accept it? ”

Su Qinglang looked at the gift list, his eyes were about to narrow into a line with a smile, and when he heard the words, he looked at the housekeeper and said, "Accept it, why don't you accept the fat that was sent to the door?" ”

The housekeeper sighed, and hurriedly took the order down, took a few people from the house, and after a while, carried a few more boxes.

Su Qinglang looked around the box twice, and after the incident in the restaurant, this Jia Dexin really knew a lot, and he spared no expense for the future of his son.

He threw the gift list to the butler and asked him to dispose of it according to the custom, and walked into the study, just crossing the threshold, and suddenly remembered the scholar he had seen today.

The folding fan knocked on his head, and suddenly realized: "It turned out to be him!" ”

In April, the apricot blossoms bloom, the city released the imperial list, and the emperor wanted to ask the tribute students in the Jinluan Palace.

Xue Qishan, a scholar of the Hanlin Academy, assisted by Xu Jin, a scholar of the Cabinet University, and Pei Yan, the left minister, was on the side, and the strength of the lineup this time made the candidates dumbfounded.

And the right minister Qin Qian, who is leaning towards the government and the opposition, covers the sky with one hand, and Su Qinglang, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites who is said to be able to influence the holy will in one word, one unfortunately got typhoid fever because he and his son were guarding the soul on the lonely mountain, and the other was called to the palace of the concubine Niangniang early in the morning to see the driver, and the two traitors who calamified the country did not see half a figure, so the whole palace was tested, and the atmosphere was extremely clean.

The old emperor is close to the sixtieth year this year, but because of his perennial indulgence, he looks like an old man of seventy or eighty years old, sitting on the Jinluan Palace, and there is still some might.

took the roster presented by the Ministry of Rites, took a look at it, picked out a few eye-catching names, and called them out one by one to ask.

It's a pity that many of the tribute students who entered the palace test were seeing Long Yan for the first time, and they were excited and inevitably nervous.

The first person to be called out was a scholar named Wan Shouquan, the little guy was not very old, he ate a lot, but things got into his stomach, raised a body of fat, but his brain was stuffed with, and when the emperor asked a question, the whole person was stupid, kneeling on the ground, and he didn't say a reason for thinking about it for a long time.

The emperor asked, "Did you pass the exam yourself?" ”

The fat brother trembled, lay on the ground and kowtowed, "Grass...... Grass...... The grass people don't know. ”

The emperor's face darkened half, and he waved his hand downward, and when the fat brother saw it, he hurriedly said, "Emperor...... Your Majesty, Su Su Su ......"

Before he finished speaking, he was dragged down by the guards like an eagle catching a chicken.

The second one was even more cold, kneeling in the hall, his body trembled, he trembled, he shook for a long time, and he actually fainted out of a puddle of water stains under his pants, and the third one was good, no stammering, let alone wetting his pants, and the questions he answered were so-so, but he looked too bad, black like a scale, considering the overall appearance of the imperial court, the emperor thought about it and could only remove it.

After calling several times in a row, the emperor was very angry, and the consequences were very serious, and said to the chamberlain next to him: "What about Su Qing?" ”

Su Qing is Su Qinglang, the emperor's heart, and he can't leave the book of the Ministry of Rites for a moment.

The old chamberlain thought that the emperor was looking for him to ask him for guilt, so he smiled embarrassedly and replied in a low voice: "Master Su received the edict of Niangniang today, and he is in the imperial garden at the moment. ”

But seeing that the emperor snorted, he threw the roster on the case, and said, "I am in dire straits here, and he is very good at hiding for a while." ”

Subsequently, he handed over the matter of asking Gongsheng to Xue Qishan, moved the bench and ate melon seeds by himself, and had the right to watch the play.

After the whole hall test, the examiner was furious, and the candidates were even more bitter, and finally selected three-

Jia Siqi, the son of Lord Jia's family, Lu Xun, the nephew of Pei Yan, the left minister, and one more, is Mei Liusheng, who came out of the nest of the mountain nest.

The old chamberlain approached the emperor very considerately and reminded: "That son of Lord Jia's family is the ...... sponsored by Qin Xiangye a few days ago."

When the emperor heard this, he looked at Jia Siqi, with thief eyebrows and rat eyes, oily and powdery face, just like a little white face who eats soft rice in the alley of Flower Street, he didn't like it very much.

looked at Mei Liusheng again, his waist was straight, and the look between his eyebrows seemed to be missing a trace of due awe to him, although he had the courtesy of a monarch and a minister.

Moreover, this guy is obviously a scholar, but there is a heroic spirit around him, and he doesn't know that he thinks they are holding a martial arts test, and he is not very satisfied.

In the end, he could only look at Lu Xun, although this child was dumbfounded and looked too straightforward, but compared to the other two, it was much better.

So he made up his mind and asked him kindly: "I heard that you are the nephew of Zuo Xiang Pei Qing?" ”

Lu Xun knelt in the hall, faced the emperor's inquiry, did not change a trace of expression, and replied, "Yes." ”

The emperor nodded, very satisfied: "Pei Qing has been honest and honest all his life, and he has learned five cars, and if you follow him, you must have learned a lot of things." ”

I was about to name him, but I heard Lu Xun say: "Back to the emperor, Caomin has been staying at home to study because of his mother's ill health, and he hasn't seen his uncle for many years, and he hasn't learned anything in the past few days." ”

As soon as the words came out, the room was silent, and the emperor's imperial pen stopped, was silent for a moment, and asked the attendant beside him: "This kid ...... Have a vendetta against his uncle? ”

The old chamberlain sighed, looked tentatively, looked at Pei Yan, the left minister next to him, paused, and did not speak.

I heard the emperor cough lightly again, and said: "My parents are here, I don't travel far, Pei Qing has a good nephew who is kind and filial." ”

Zuo Xiang Pei Yan pulled his cheeks, and was about to speak, but he heard Lu Xun continue: "Returning to the emperor, in fact, it is not filial piety, it's just that my father married another concubine earlier, and he didn't want to return home all the year round, and his mother was lonely and didn't want to let the grass people leave...... Uncle, why do you keep blinking at me, but you have an eye disease? ”

His uncle looked up to the sky and sighed, speechless and choked, the emperor is also full of black lines, this is a man, you can't be too upright, you are too upright, you are a complete fool.

Speaking of which, this Lu Xun either has an enmity with his uncle, or he has a brain disease.

The emperor snorted coldly, and just wanted to cross out his name, but he heard the chamberlain hurriedly remind: "Your Majesty, this Lu Gongzi was personally recommended by Master Pei......"

The emperor looked at Pei Yan next to him and said, "Pei Qing's nephew...... is also a bit talented, I plan to point him to Tanhualang, I don't know what Pei Qing's opinion is? ”

Pei Yan looked at his nephew, he was already angry, gritted his teeth and said hatefully: "Weichen doesn't have any opinions!" ”

Xue Qishan on the side held back a smile, and asked the emperor again: "Your Majesty, the champion and the list are ......" said, looking at Jia Siqi and Mei Liusheng below.

The emperor looked at Jia Siqi, then at Mei Liusheng, and finally sighed, and said, "I am a little bored in my heart, and I plan to go to the Imperial Garden for a walk......
