But one day, rumors continued in Beijing.

Yang Jilin was released from Shuntian Mansion, and his wife and children surrounded him, shushing the cold and asking for warmth.

He remained silent and did not speak, and when he returned to his house on North Street, he went into the study.

When his wife saw this, she didn't dare to disturb him.

Spring is approaching again, and it has been delayed by the yamen, so it is normal to hurry up now.

But he didn't expect that when it got dark, Yang Jilin fell ill.

People burned hot, and even some burned in a daze.

The family was busy and hired a doctor.

The doctor said that in the past few days, there have been incidents one after another, and people have not resisted things, they have been impacted, and they have to recuperate, and whether they can enter the examination room or not depends on their own creation.

Yang's wife covered her mouth and cried.

Yang Jilin burned so badly that he even talked nonsense.

After entering the yamen once, when the court responded, he was "witty" and hurried to leave himself, but Yang Jilin was still shocked.

Of course, he knew that he and his classmates from noble backgrounds were not all the way.

Even if you are in the same academy and face the same gentleman, you are from different walks of life.

But it wasn't until Chu Dongjia was interrogated that Yang Jilin really understood that everything that happened to the nobles and them was different from those poor scholars.

Each has its own difficulties.

In the intrigue of the nobles, these people are just chess pieces that they pick up and use and discard casually.

Even the Ding'an Hou Mansion is so difficult to calculate the timing, where can he, a poor scholar who climbs up, go in the end?

Is his decades of hard work in the imperial examination really worth it?

Yang Jilin didn't know.

He faltered.

And at Wang Sheng's house, he sat behind the table, tilted his head, and his eyes were scattered.

Of course, he had heard the rumors outside.

He didn't want to judge what role Yang Jilin played in it, but Chu Dongjia must have received money from others.

The wife came in with a bowl of hot soup.

Wang Sheng didn't want to drink, but when he saw his wife's eager eyes, and thought of her crying in the alley that day and begging him to "bump" once, he couldn't bear it and drank it in a big gulp.

He probably won't be able to hit it.

It's not that he wasted some time before, the imperial examination is not temporary, more or less ten or twenty days, there will not be much change, he just doesn't have that strength.

I used to think that I had good skills, at least I was a lifter, and I was a good student in the academy, until that day in Bao'anyuan, I saw the world's lifters who went to Beijing to take the exam......

He knew he wasn't enough.

At least, he has no way to stand at the forefront like them, participate in drumming and passing flowers, and answer questions on stage at any time.

He didn't have that kind of courage and confidence.

A person like him, even if he bumps into it, enters the officialdom......

Officialdom is not a academy, he can't do it.

It's just that Wang Sheng didn't tell his parents and wife about this, and he couldn't say it.

It's easy to give up on yourself, but it's hard to recognize yourself and your loved ones who have high hopes for you.

On the other hand, Qian Hui is still reading well.

It's not that he wasn't touched by external changes, but now, as the original participant in the "gentle resignation fraud", after he was shaken and uneasy, he didn't know what else to do except study.

They talked about the Shen family and their relatives, Qian Hui went to hear it, and he heard it in a fog.

In fact, how can students who are familiar with history really not understand that, and if they integrate with the old things in the history books, they can always understand one or two.

Qian Hui just didn't listen.

I was so dazed, and in the end I could only immerse myself in the book, doing the things I was most accustomed to for so many years.

The candidates have the troubles of the candidates, and the ministers of civil and military affairs have the hesitations of the ministers of civil and military affairs.

There are smart ones, and when they disperse, they will find out the emperor's thoughts.

The dull ones tasted more or less at night.

I really haven't seen through it, so I simply don't mix it up, just wait and see.

So, at the court meeting the next day, not only the imperial historian, but also other people had to say a few words.

Huo Yixiao stood in the queue with a calm face, but he didn't speak today, but his face was clearly angry.

Of course, he was not in such a bad mood.

He also heard it, there are a few imperial historians, who may have communicated with Huo Huaiding, and the scolding is so wonderful.

not only scolded the Shen family, but also scolded the emperor, scolded the emperor for being confused, and indulging the county lord of Wanyang will only make the county lord more and more lawless.

Huo Yixiao laughed directly: "My lord, what kind of temper do I have?"

If I have a lawless temper, can Wanyang still stay in the eldest princess's mansion?

I can take her to Swallow Alley and kneel.

Or do you think I will be afraid of Wanyang or the eldest princess? ”

In the Jinluan Palace, there was silence.

After a while, the imperial historian who was thrown out by Huo Huaiding to "stir up trouble" stiffened his head and said, "Look, it's your temper now." ”

"Okay," the emperor said in a deep voice, shaking his head at Huo Yixiao as if dissatisfied, "What kind of words!" ”

Gonggong Wu shouted to retreat.

After the emperor left, Zhu Yu laughed and said to Huo Yixiao: "Then why didn't you take Wanyang to Yanzi Hutong?" ”

If it was any other time, Zhu Mao should come out to play a round.

He was weak-hearted, and he was afraid that Zhu Yu's temper would come up, so he directly exposed him.

The Shen family has suffered such a loss now, if they know that it was him Zhu Mao who caused trouble in the first place, then he would have to be unlucky.

Seeing that he was about to stalemate, the little chamberlain walked over and said, "The emperor invites the fourth prince to the imperial study." ”

Huo Yixiao had a calm face and followed the waiter to leave.

In the imperial study, the emperor's face was not good-looking.

Even if all this is under his control right now, no one will be happy to be nagged and scolded by Yushi for an early dynasty.

"Afternoon, or tomorrow," the emperor moistened his throat with tea, "you take a warm banquet and go to the treasury to pick one, it was originally said that you will go after the seal is opened, but it has been delayed." ”

Huo Yixiao glanced at the emperor and said, "Then tomorrow." ”

Gonggong Wu sent him out of the imperial study.

Huo Yixiao returned to the Thousand Steps Corridor.

Zhu Huan looked up at him.

Judging from the time, Huo Yixiao didn't stay long in the imperial study, and then looked at his face......

Eighty percent of the father and son broke up unhappily.

Zhu Huan pursed his lips hesitantly, but did not ask immediately.

On the contrary, Huo Yixiao sat down behind the bookcase with a cold air, and said, "The emperor asked me to take Wen Yan to the treasury tomorrow to pick up a few things I like." ”

As soon as the words fell, not only Zhu Huan was stunned, but Qin Shangshu and others also looked at each other.

At this moment, the emperor did this......

This is to seal the mouth of the Anhou Mansion.

Regardless of whether the emperor really can't control the county lord or fake can't manage the county lord, anyway, the Ding'an Hou Mansion honestly accepts the benefits, so don't sue Shuntian Mansion again.

No wonder the fourth prince has such an expression.

With the temperament of the fourth prince, it is strange that he can be happy when he is so pressed and bowed by the emperor.
