Chapter 288: Go out of the house to see my cousin
What's more, at this time, a plague is breaking out in the state city, and the eldest princess is even more disregarding her own safety to go to Huiguo Nunnery to pray for the people in suffering, if we really act according to Lord Weng's words.
I'm afraid it will be contrary to the eldest princess's compassionate behavior, but it is better to let these candidates remember this lesson, knowing that mistakes can improve a lot, and maybe they will become talents to assist the imperial court. ”
After Wen Jingyuan's words, Lord Lin, who listened to it, nodded again and again, and Weng Yuan glared at him with fierce eyes, but Wen Jingyuan looked at Weng Yuan without shying away from it.
The coldness in his eyes actually made Weng Yuan's heart tremble, so he looked at the eldest prince with a little weakness.
The eldest prince's eyes shifted from Jiang Yunxuan's brother to the young man, and his eagle-like eyes immediately made everyone's hearts tighten.
Everyone finally knew in their hearts the difficulty of this road, and they didn't dare to make another time here, for fear that they would be imprisoned by the criminal department Shangshu if they were not careful.
"Since Lord Lin and Lord Wen intercede for you people, this matter is over. If there is a next time, it will be severely punished. After speaking, the eldest prince left the tribute courtyard with a cold body.
And Wen Jingyuan, as the chief examiner of this martial arts, naturally couldn't delay too long on the side of the Gongyuan, so he exchanged a look with Lord Lin, and quickly followed the eldest prince towards the ring of the martial arts.
"Everyone hurry up and hurry up to enter the venue now, and the first round of written exams will start in a while, so don't waste time here." Lord Lin saw the eldest prince walking away, so he immediately turned around and asked.
After speaking, Lord Lin walked out of the gate of the Tribute Courtyard first, while Weng Yuan walked between the two sides.
The cold eyes swept towards the Jiang Yunxuan brothers on the side with an incomprehensible look, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but float a grim smile before he walked back to the examination room.
And with the shocking scene just now, the little guy next to Jiang Yunxuan was already dumbfounded at this time, especially after knowing that his son-in-law, who was almost involved just now, could not participate in the imperial examination this year, he was even more eager to bite off his tongue to speak.
It's just that in this way, the little guy looked at the young man who had collided with his words just now with even more resentment, and his eyes swept towards the young man's back with hatred.
"Alright, you'll get here. I should hurry back and report to my grandmother and my father and mother that they are safe. Today's matter, if half a word leaks out, be careful that I want your life. Jiang Yunxuan completely took the extremely unkind look in Weng Yuan's eyes just now, and then took the food box and other intimate clothes in the little guy's hand and ordered.
The little guy had already been scared out of a cold sweat at this time, and he thought that Jiang Yunxuan would peel off his skin on the spot, but at this time, he was immediately relieved to see Jiang Yunxuan let him go so easily.
At this time, he didn't dare to say a word anymore, just nodded vigorously, and saw that Jiang Yunfu and Jiang Yunsi had already entered the examination room at this time, so they hurried in the direction of the Guogong Mansion.
As the sun set, the bell in the Gongyuan has been slowly ringing, and the ten-day autumn examination has officially kicked off.
It's just that when the little guy returned to the gate of the Guogong Mansion, he was blocked by the housekeeper and others, no matter how the little guy requested, the housekeeper refused to let him in.
And after Mama Ke, who was guarding the door, heard the voice of the little girl, she immediately sent the little girl beside her to run back to the old lady's yard, and asked the old lady to come over quickly.
"But there's news of them in the clouds?" When the old lady saw the little girl coming back, she instantly stood up from the stool and asked anxiously.
"Old lady, the little guy next to the eldest young master has come back, but he was stopped at the door at this time. Mama Ke, please come over now. The little girl who came to communicate was out of breath at this time, but fortunately there was nothing wrong when she spoke.
And the old lady immediately pulled up Jiang Yunjiao on the side, and the grandfather and grandson sat in the soft sedan car in a hurry at this time, and hurried to the door of the Guogong Mansion.
"Old lady." Mama Ke was chatting with the little guy about today's situation at this time, and after seeing the old lady rushing over.
He quickly stepped forward to support the old lady, and stood at the door together, looking out the window through the small wooden window on the door.
"Come on, the eldest son and the second son have entered the examination room safely now?" The old lady's heart was already very anxious at this time, especially when she heard that the deputy examiner of this year's Qiu Yu was actually Weng Yuan, Weng Fandie's father.
She was even more anxious, she didn't eat much all day, for fear that Weng Yuan would deliberately embarrass her grandson for the sake of Weng Fandie, so that they would not be allowed to enter the examination room.
"Back to the old lady, the two sons have now entered the examination room. The eldest prince also asked the servants to say hello to the old lady and the old lady, saying that they would not have to worry about the safety of him and the second son. ”
After the little guy got Jiang Yunxuan's instructions, he naturally didn't dare to tell all the things that happened during the day today, so he could only pick up the good ones and tell the old lady, and sure enough, a smile immediately appeared on the old lady's face.
"What time did the two of them get in? Who has embarrassed them during this time? "The old lady has now half relieved her heart.
But I always felt that Weng Yuan would definitely avenge his daughter, so he asked this sentence worriedly, for fear that this little guy would not be honest, and he only knew that he would report good news and not bad news.
The little guy didn't expect the old lady to be so shrewd, so he immediately smiled and said, "Old lady, relax, the two young masters are fine now." It's just that the number of candidates who went to take the exam today is really a bit large, so it was delayed for some hours. ”
Seeing that he was not lying, the old lady's originally tense face eased slightly, and then asked Mama Ke to throw a silver ingot from the small wooden window to reward the little guy who came to report the news and said: "You are now serving the old lady in the north courtyard for a few days, and after the autumn test is over, you will go to pick up the two sons back, remember not to forget the time because of playfulness." ”
After the little guy got the benefits, he naturally did what the old lady ordered, and then nodded and said a lot of compliments, and then left the gate of the Guogong Mansion respectfully.
"Grandmother can rest assured now." Jiang Yunjiao was also very happy after hearing that her two elder brothers had already entered the examination room at this time.
The old lady also smiled and nodded, and was helped by Mama Ke and sat back in the soft sedan chair and returned to the courtyard.
Being troubled by the old lady like this morning, coupled with knowing that Jiang Yunxuan would definitely send a little girl back to report her safety, Jiang Yuanliu naturally couldn't get out of the Prime Minister's Mansion at this time, so he asked Chun Tao to prepare a set of girl's clothes for herself and put them in the inner room, and wait until tomorrow to leave the house.
When I had nothing to do, I found an ancient book about Qingqi from the bookshelf left by my mother in the past and read it carefully, but I was pleasantly surprised to find that this ancient book actually completely recorded the size of Qingqi's country.
Although the map is not as accurate and detailed as the modern map, it can accurately mark the distance between the cities, which makes Jiang Yuanliu like a treasure.
So he began to concentrate on bowing his head and burying his head in Qing Qi's map, looking for the location of the state city on the slightly yellowed pages.
The slender fingers moved slowly along the markers on the map, and sure enough, the word 'state city' was found on it, Jiang Yuanliu was happy at this time, and his eyes looked at the distance between Kyoto and the state city.
Then it began to be counted as the horse's footsteps, and if it could ride a horse to the state city day and night, it would probably take ten days, which shows that what everyone said before was not an exaggeration to say thousands of miles away.
His fingers have been covering the word 'state city', but Jiang Yuanliu's thoughts at this time are drifting in other directions, it stands to reason that even if there is a plague, there is no need for King Ping and Gu **, two extremely important figures, to go out in person.
But judging from the attitude of the two of them towards this matter, it seems that they attach great importance to this matter, what is there in this state city, which will make the two of them completely disregard their own lives and safety, and actually choose to go at such a time.
Jiang Yuanliu frowned lightly subconsciously, and then looked out of the window with deep eyes, only to feel that the moonlight tonight was much colder than last night, and he didn't know if Gu ** had taken good care of himself on the road.
Early the next morning, Jiang Yuanliu changed into the set of maid clothes he had put on the table before, asked Chun Tao to wrap the dress he wore on weekdays in cotton cloth, and held it in his hand himself, so he lowered his head and followed behind Chun Tao quietly, and then walked towards a corner gate in the northwest corner of the Guogong Mansion where few people entered.
It's still early in the morning, and even the subordinates of the Guogong Mansion have just gotten up to work, and the northwest corner is uninhabited all year round.
So Jiang Yuanliu and Chun Tao easily went out of the corner gate, and Ling Yue had already parked the prepared carriage at the corner gate according to Jiang Yuanliu's request at this time and waited for her arrival.
After the two of them left the Guogong Mansion, they got into the carriage, and Ling Yue personally drove in the direction of the Fuguo Mansion.
It's just that this time the carriage did not enter from the main gate of the Fuguo Mansion, but chose a side gate to the west, and in that side gate, Yun Yao had already been waiting over there, seeing Jiang Yuanliu slowly walking off the carriage in the clothes of a maid, the expression on Yuan Yao's face was also slightly stunned, and then he immediately stepped forward and saluted: "I've seen Miss Cousin!" ”
"Let's go in and talk about it." Seeing this, Jiang Yuanliu just nodded, and then led Chun Tao into the side door softly, and then sat in a soft sedan chair and went to Wen Rongxian's courtyard.
