Zhuang House.

A ranking of the apricot list was sent to the hands of Zhuang Taifu and King Anjun.

Mrs. Zhuang has known the top two results for a long time, except for King Anjun, there are no too prominent candidates in the Zhuang family's faction this time, so the apricot list was sent by Mrs. Zhuang and put aside.

King Anjun didn't look at it either.

He has absolute confidence in his first place in the exam.

He just asked, "Is there anyone named Xiao Liulang on the list?" ”

Wu Yang said: "Yes, tied for first place with the king of the county. ”

"Oh?" King Anjun looked sideways slightly.

Wu Yang handed the list back over.

King Anjun's eyes fell on Xiao Liulang's name, and he raised his eyebrows lightly: "This Xiao Liulang is a little unexpected to me." ”

Wu Yang was about to speak, when the maid outside the door said, "Master, are you here?" ”

Wu Yang hurriedly pushed to the side and saluted Mrs. Zhuang who stepped inside.

Mrs. Zhuang waved his hand, and Wu Yang respectfully retreated.

King Anjun stood up and greeted him with a pleasant face: "Grandfather! ”

"Hmm." Mrs. Zhuang responded in a deep voice.

King An Jun walked around the desk and waited for Mrs. Zhuang to sit down on the official hat chair before sitting down on another chair below him.

A maid served tea and withdrew numbly.

The room was so quiet that only the sound of Mrs. Zhuang sipping tea remained.

King Anjun asked, "Grandfather, why haven't you rested so late?" ”

"Come and see you." Mrs. Zhuang put down the hot tea in her hand and looked at him without a smile, "Have you seen the apricot list?" ”

"Hmm." King Anjun nodded, "I just saw it." ”

Mrs. Zhuang said: "That one named Xiao Liulang is your classmate of Guozijian?" ”

"Yes." King Anjun nodded again.

Mrs. Zhuang has been in and out of officialdom for many years, and he can recognize amazing information with one look, and he glanced at his grandson suspiciously: "Do you know him?" ”

King Anjun smiled and said, "Grandfather, do you remember why I must persuade you to reopen the country?" ”

Mrs. Zhuang frowned: "You said that the Queen Mother lives in a candidate's house, as long as that candidate enters the country to study, the Queen Mother will also come to the capital...... Could it be this person? ”

King Anjun said: "That's right, it's him." ”

Mrs. Zhuang's eyes were cold.

King Anjun said: "Grandfather, don't worry about getting angry, he doesn't know the identity of his aunt." I speculated that my aunt had fainted at his doorstep when she had been in that village, and that someone in his family knew how to heal and recognized her for leprosy. Afraid that they would be sent to the leprosy mountain together, they secretly hid their aunt and cured her. ”

"Can it cure leprosy?" Mrs. Zhuang was skeptical.

King Anjun said: "I have seen my aunt, and her leprosy has indeed been cured. ”

Mrs. Zhuang didn't believe that there were people in the world who could cure leprosy, and he preferred to believe that the original information was wrong: "Maybe the Queen Mother didn't have leprosy at all, but just looked like it." ”

King Anjun did not refute Mrs. Zhuang's speculation, this is not important, the Queen Mother has recovered, just wait for them to deploy the situation in the capital, and wait for the Queen Mother to recover her memory, and their Zhuang family will be able to flourish again.

Mrs. Zhuang pondered: "This candidate is not simple. ”

King Anjun didn't care much and said: "It's just a matter of meeting the yuan, grandfather doesn't have to pay too much attention to it, and I didn't use much effort in this exam." ”

That's the truth, he really didn't give it his all.

Xiao Liulang must have done his best, Rao is so, and it is also Xiao Liulang's ability to be tied for first place with him.

King Anjun has never met anyone who competes with him since he was a child.

Although the little marquis of Zhaodu is famous enough, in his opinion, it is just because he didn't meet him, if he hadn't gone to Chen Guo to be a proton for nearly ten years, he couldn't tell who it was on the first day of his famous Zhaodu.

King Anjun said: "I plan to take this person for my own use, and I ask my grandfather not to touch him." ”

Of course, it is best to be able to collect it for his own use, after all, he knows too much, and if he takes refuge in other camps, it may be detrimental to the entire dealer.

Mrs. Zhuang snorted: "If you want to say that, then I can not move him for the time being." But you have to understand that you must not lose to him again in the temple examination. ”

What the dealer wants is not just a random jinshi, but the first jinshi!

"I understand." King Anjun won the ticket, smiled faintly and said, "I will do my best to take the palace test." ”

Mrs. Zhuang said that this grandson had always made him feel at ease, so he didn't say anything more, and he got up and left.

Suddenly thinking of something, he turned around again, and in the darkness, his seemingly cloudy eyes revealed a shrewdness and sharpness that even young people can't match: "Do you have a sweetheart?" ”

King Anjun was stunned: "Why did my grandfather say this?" ”

Mrs. Zhuang said: "You are not young anymore, your aunt said that it is time to choose a family business for you." ”

King Anjun's eyes trembled slightly: "I haven't reached the crown yet, what's the hurry?" ”

The Zhaoguo man is twenty and crowned, and then he is considered an adult man, and most of the big families are married after the twenties.

Mrs. Zhuang said: "It's not for you to get married now, choose and see first, I originally planned to ask for you to marry Lord Hui, but something happened to her, and your aunt stopped thinking about it." If you have a woman you like, the right person and good looks, tell your aunt. ”

King Anjun's mind flashed a small figure in Tsing Yi with a basket on his back, and his face did not change: "No." ”

Mrs. Zhuang turned around and walked out of the house.

King Anjun sighed slightly.

The right door?

The Ding'an Marquis Mansion seems to be neutral, but the old marquis is the emperor's right-hand man like Xuanping Hou, and she will never be a good match with him.

As for the appearance.

He didn't care about her appearance, but his aunt wouldn't allow him to marry a girl with a crippled face and a previous marriage.

"Huh." King Anjun laughed self-deprecatingly, "What's the use of asking me?" ”

--

The whole capital was immersed in the huge impact brought by the Xingbang, but Gu Jinyu of the Yamen of the Criminal Department had no news from the outside world.

She was trapped in the interrogation room, unable to eat or sleep well.

His Majesty seems to have made up his mind, deliberately breaking her will, never letting people force her to confess, but he will not ignore her.

She was alone, and she was getting a little overwhelmed.

She hasn't taken a bath for many days, and she doesn't grow up in the countryside like Gu Jiao, it doesn't matter if she doesn't take a bath for ten days and half a month, she loves cleanliness very much!

Fortunately, it was Mama Qi who was next to Concubine Shu who came.

Seeing Mama Qi's moment, Gu Jinyu immediately cried aggrievedly.

"Okay, okay, don't cry the county lord, let the mother know that it's time to feel distressed." Mama Qi wanted to come forward and hug her to comfort her, but the smell on Gu Jinyu's body, Mama Qi really couldn't stand it.

Mama Qi cleared her throat, and finally just stood beside Gu Jinyu and handed her a clean handkerchief.

Gu Jinyu took the veil and choked up, "Thank you grandma for coming to see me." ”

Mama Qi said: "Niangniang asked me to ask you, what's wrong with you?" Did you really break the jade seal or ...... What else have you done to anger Your Majesty? ”

When Gu Jinyu heard this, her eyes flashed: "Niangniang...... Did you hear any gossip? ”

Mama Qi came to figure things out this time, so she opened the skylight and said brightly: "Someone in the palace is spreading that the bellows were not invented by you, but by someone else." ”

"Others...... Which one is it? Gu Jinyu asked cautiously.

Mama Qi pondered: "I don't know, the rumors don't say who it is." ”

Gu Jinyu lowered her head weakly.

Who came up with the rumors? Your Majesty or the Old Blacksmith and Carpenter? Don't all three of them know about that girl?

Gu Jinyu didn't understand what was going on, she settled down and asked, "Then, does Niangniang believe it?" ”

Mama Qi said, "Can Niangniang believe it?" ”

Gu Jinyu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately, her efforts over the years have not been in vain.

Mama Qi sighed: "But these messages are strange, think about it carefully, who has touched your drawings, or who have you mentioned about bellows?" ”

It seems that my father hasn't told my father that she and Gu Jiao have both "invented" bellows, and I haven't said it for so long, so I shouldn't say it.

Gu Jinyu hesitated to tell Gu Jiao herself.

Concubine Shu's impression of Gu Jiao is not very good, first, Concubine Shu doesn't like Yao's, and she doesn't even like her pair of children, and her face in front of her is mainly because she is talented and intelligent, and she has helped the five princes so much.

The second is that Gu Jiao does not return to the Hou Mansion, does not respect Mrs. Gu, and does not respect the aunt of Concubine Shu.

It stands to reason that when she returned to the capital, she should have asked to see Concubine Shu, but the girl didn't.

Gu Jinyu didn't dare to bet that Concubine Shu would trust her like her father.

In case Concubine Shu wants to go to Gu Jiao for verification, and if Concubine Shu knows that His Majesty is actually biased towards Gu Jiao, can Concubine Shu still stand out for herself?

After some weighing, Gu Jinyu finally gave up Gu Jiao's claim that she had stolen her inspiration.

She shook her head: "I don't know, I haven't mentioned it to anyone." ”

Mama Qi looked at Gu Jinyu for a moment: "Then you tell Mama, is the bellows really invented by you?" ”

So my aunt still doesn't believe her?

After doing so much homework for the five princes and being a substitute exam?

Gu Jinyu laughed at herself in her heart, but said aggrievedly on her face: "Mama, do you not believe me, or does my aunt not believe me?" I swear to God, I invented the bellows, and if I tell half a lie, let me thunder—"

Mama Qi hurriedly covered her mouth with a handkerchief, and said angrily: "You can't talk nonsense! Niangniang believes you, I ask more, you don't have to take it to heart. ”

Gu Jinyu said softly: "Mama is also for my aunt's good, I understand." ”

Mama Qi sighed again: "Niangniang has already checked, the jade seal has already been broken, let His Royal Highness the Seventh Fall, the reason why Your Majesty is angry with you, I am afraid that I still believe in those rumors, thinking that there is someone else who invented the bellows." The top priority is to prove that you are the Allah, but unfortunately there is no way to ...... the mother."

These words woke up Gu Jinyu, she had no way to use the bellows to turn the tables, but she could use something else.

She thought of what she had seen in Bishui Hutong that day.

Gu Jinyu narrowed her eyes: "Mama, the bellows thing has passed for too long, and I didn't pay attention to leave more conclusive drawings at the beginning, which is indescribable, but I don't have more than this ability." ”

Mama Qi was immediately surprised: "You, you have anything else?" Then why didn't you take it out earlier? ”

Gu Jinyu smiled: "I only thought of it in the past few days, I didn't give up on myself when I was locked up here, but let myself calm down and ask myself what else I could do for the imperial court, and then, I remembered something I did unintentionally in Zhuangzi." ”

"What is it?" Mama Qi asked excitedly.

"Glutinous rice mortar." Gu Jinyu actually didn't witness its efficacy, but now she can't take care of it and can only gamble, "The mortar made of glutinous rice soup is extremely strong, and it is the best house building material, if you don't believe it, you can go back to the palace to give it a try." My aunt loves me, and I should repay my aunt with a good life, and I am willing to give this credit to His Royal Highness Five. ”

Mama Qi returned to the palace non-stop and told Concubine Shu about the glutinous rice mortar, especially emphasizing that this credit could be given to the five princes.

Concubine Shu was very cautious, she didn't rush to the emperor to ask for credit, but first called the eunuchs, asked them to bring a bucket of ordinary mortar, and asked the small kitchen to adjust a bucket of glutinous rice mortar according to all Gu Jinyu's methods.

After the two mortars solidified, Concubine Shu asked people to beat them with a hammer, and the ordinary mortar broke when they were knocked, but the glutinous rice mortar was as hard as a rock.

Concubine Shu smiled in surprise: "What about the Fifth Highness?" Fast! Go and call him back to Hongu! This palace wants to face the saint! ”

--

On the other side, Guozi supervised Mengxue, and Xiao Qingkong finished the day's homework and came to the place agreed with his friends.

Last time, Qin Chuyu promised to take two friends to visit the palace, and after opening up the relationship between the princess and sister-in-law, the princess's sister-in-law finally agreed that he would bring his friends into the palace.

If you are an adult, you should be curious about how he can enter the palace, but a child will not.

Xu Congee Congee said to the subordinates who came to pick him up, the prince's invitation, the subordinates knew Qin Chuyu's identity, and they didn't dare to disagree.

Xiao Jingkong went to the hospital and told Gu Jiao that he would go out to play and wait for the Xu family's carriage to come back.

Gu Jiao has no opinion.

Xu Congee Congee and Qin Chuyu also often come to the hospital to play.

The three of them happily got into Qin Chuyu's carriage.
