Xiao Lanwei and his entourage entered Beijing by land, because a large number of prisoners were escorted, and there was a lot of delay on the way. By the time they saw the towering walls of the capital from afar, the north had already hung up their autumn clothes, and they couldn't feel the slightest summer heat.

Xiao Lizong stepped forward immediately, raised his hand in front of him, looked at the city gate not far away and said: "I have never felt that the word Shengjing is so kind, my heart is like hanging in the air along the way, I can wake up once or twice at night when the wind is strong, I am afraid that something will happen to those moths in the back." Now I can finally breathe a sigh of relief. ”

Xiao Lanwei behind him sat on the horse and clasped his hands, glanced at Xiao Li and said, "Look at your little bit of talent, you are still a deputy historian, and you haven't learned that General Zheng is not stable at all." ”

Zheng Wuhu: "......" You two bicker, don't pull the general!

Xiao Li is in a good mood now, as soon as he is sent to the capital, as soon as the Criminal Department and Dali Temple take over, his trip will end perfectly. Now that Xiao Lanwei has been counted down like this, Xiao Vice Shi said that it is not a matter at all!

"I'm too lazy to pay attention to you, since I arrested you from Hangzhou, you have seen me unpleasantly, I am generous, and I don't care about you. Let's get into town! Xiao Li pursed his lips, and then shouted loudly.

Xiao Li took the lead in running ahead, and the officers and soldiers behind him followed with the prisoner cart. The people marched to the gate of the city, greeted the officers of the criminal department who had come to meet them, and then entered the city together.

If there was such a big battle near the city gate in the past, the people around it would have been three layers inside and three layers outside, but today they all entered the city gate and walked for a while, and they didn't see how much the people of the capital paid much attention to them.

Xiao Li looked left and right, and said with some curiosity: "Is there anything else strange in the city today?" At that time, when I went out of Beijing with General Zheng, I was treated as a rare thing, why did I come back today, but no one paid attention to us? ”

"What kind of immortal did you descend to? Maybe the people have seen enough of you last time, and I don't think it's rare now. Xiao Lan answered lazily.

Xiao Li glared at Xiao Lanwei, and before he could fight back, he heard the official of the Criminal Department on the side laughing: "The prince has been away from Beijing for a long time, and it is not strange that he is not clear." Today's trial list of the hospital, the people want to see the excitement, but not all of them are gathered around the political secretary. ”

"Yo, it's all this time. It's time to do the math. Yes, it is not unjust that the limelight can't steal the eyes of the future champions. Xiao Li was shocked, he really didn't expect this.

Xiao Lanwei on the side asked, "How is this year?" ”

The official of the Criminal Department smiled: "It's just a court exam, and it's too early to say how." However, there are indeed a few good seedlings, and I heard that several talented people in Beijing are waiting and seeing, and if there is really something to be made, they will be included in the name. But no matter what, I'll have to wait for the township test, it's still too early. ”

Xiao Li and Xiao Lanhuan nodded, Zheng Wuhu on the side thought that he was a rough person, and he had never been involved in the affairs of these literati, so he just followed silently and listened to a few of them chatting.

However, this year's college examination really produced a few students who were in the limelight. Not to mention anything else, the Jingyong Mansion has been in the limelight this year. The criminal department official said excitedly again.

"Jingyong Mansion?" As soon as Xiao Lanwei heard about the Yu family, she became interested. Xiao Li touched his chin and thought about it, and his heart suddenly jumped, his father's brother who succeeded the princess seemed to be studying in Guozijian. It can't be the mallet, right?!

"Could it be Yu Wenda, the eldest son of the Yu family?" Xiao Li asked, his face was not good-looking. He didn't have a good impression of Yu Fei, the step-princess, and he didn't even like the second room of the Yu family very much. Yu Wenda has also seen it, to be honest, that demeanor, not to mention the Guogong Mansion, is the son of a six-grade petty official family is much better than him.

Yu Fei is now relying on the favor of the old prince, and she dares to find trouble for him openly and secretly, if there is another brother who enters the imperial examination, she will not be able to go to heaven? !

Could it be that Yu Wenda is still a pearl in the sea? Thinking of this, Xiao Li's face was like swallowing a fly.

"Hey, it's not the eldest prince. It's the fourth son. The official of the Criminal Department laughed. Hearing that it was not Yu Wenda, Xiao Li breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and then said blankly: "Fourth son? When did the Yu family have a fourth son? ”

It was Xiao Lanhuan, because of Mu Qingling's relationship, he asked Chang Lin to thoroughly check the Yu family, and he knew a lot about the people of the Yu family, thought about it for a while, and said, "But the eldest son of the Yu family's third room?" ”

"Exactly, the fourth son's name is Wen'an, his father Yu Enping is the Lingtailang of Qin Tianjian, and his mother is the eldest daughter of the Liu family, the richest man in the capital. On weekdays, he doesn't show his dew, but I didn't expect that in this children's exam, his grades were outstanding at a young age, and many adults were waiting to see his next performance! The official of the criminal department said.

Xiao Li has always been a person who likes to talk about these idle things, as long as he is not Yu Fei's own brother, the rest of the Yu family has nothing to do with him becoming a Buddha on the spot, and when he heard this, he chatted with the official with great interest, "So powerful? It's just a child's test, why is there someone staring at him? Did the Yu family come forward? ”

"The Yu family didn't come forward to plan anything for Yu Wen'an." The officials of the Criminal Department were happy to chat with Xiao Li, the prince and the prince, so they said that they knew about pouring beans from bamboo tubes.

"However, the Yu family is not an ordinary family in the end, and the fate of the son from their family is already eye-catching. In addition, Yu Wen'an is only sixteen this year, although the children's test is nothing, but it is also rare to have this result at this age, if there is a famous teacher who teaches carefully, who can say for sure in the future? So everyone is waiting to see how his hospital test goes, to see if it is a flash in the pan or the reincarnation of a real Wenqu star. ”

Everyone chatted all the way, and while talking, they arrived at the official office of the Criminal Department. Xiao Li and Zheng Wuhu are going to hand over to the Criminal Department, Xiao Lanhuan doesn't need to stay here, he looked up at the sky, pulled the reins, and went directly to the imperial city, and went to the palace to ask the emperor and the queen mother.

At this time, the atmosphere in the Jingyong Mansion was more tense than the last time the government tried to release the list. Because the three brothers Yu Enrong are also at home today, the place where everyone is waiting for news has been moved from the old lady's Fushou Hall to the main hall of the mansion, Xuande Hall. In addition to the three brothers Yu Enrong, the young masters and young ladies in the house have all arrived, and even Yu Wenmin, who only plays with the maid in the inner courtyard on weekdays, has come to the front today to join in the excitement and sit down next to Mrs. Xu.

Because the three masters were present, especially Yu Enrong, the room was full of people and no one made a sound. The needles in the room could be heard, and several young ladies even drank tea lightly, without making a sound at all.

"Old ladies, old men, ladies, great joy!" Suddenly the voice of the housekeeper came from outside the door, and everyone was overjoyed when they heard it, and their expressions were shocked, and Xu and Liu looked out of the door at the same time, with anticipation in their eyes.

"Come in and talk back." Yu Enrong said, the housekeeper entered the main hall, stood in the hall and kowtowed to Mrs. Yu, and said happily: "Congratulations to the old lady, congratulations to the third lady, our young master Wen'an is the head of the case, and he is already a talented master!" ”

As soon as the housekeeper's voice fell, Mrs. Yu stood up with her crested head and said in a trembling voice: "Really?!" ”

The butler hurriedly replied, "It's true! The little ones are afraid that they are dazzled and mistaken, and they have confirmed it several times! It's really our young master Wen'an! ”

"Good! Good! Mrs. Yu shouted a few times, and on the other side of the third room, Mrs. Liu cried with joy, and her hands were folded and she was remembering. The room full of people was the same as the New Year, but because Yu Enrong was in town there, he didn't dare to laugh too much.

Yu Wenmin was also happy, and when he turned his head, he saw that his mother, Mrs. Xu, had an ugly face, although she was still smiling, her eyes were frighteningly cold, as if she was going to eat someone alive.

Yu Wenmin shrank in fright, and said timidly: "Mother? Xu Shi looked back at Yu Wenmin, and saw that he was frightened by himself, so he hurriedly restrained his expression and patted Yu Wenmin's hand soothingly.

Xu Shi turned his head to look at the third room, and said with a strong smile: "Congratulations to Wen'an, our family also has a talent." Sixteen-year-old Xiucai is rare in the country. After speaking, without waiting for the third room to reply, Xu Shi looked at the housekeeper again and said, "Young Master Wen'an's good news is over, what else?" ”

Xu's meaning is naturally that her son Wenda, Wen'an is the head of the case, and he passed the Tongsheng test as the first in the hospital examination and became a showman, which is naturally a happy event, even if it is placed in front of Wenda, it is understandable. Although she hated it in her heart, she couldn't do anything about it.

She never thought that Yu Wenda would not even be able to pass a college exam, even Yu Wen'an, a person who was not valued since childhood, her Wenda was admitted to the Guozijian since she was a child, and was taught by a famous teacher, can she not be as good as the son of a businesswoman?

Even Yu Wenda himself thinks the same. He looked at the third room with cold eyes and was happy, but he was pouting in his heart, only thinking that the gentleman who had read the test papers in the hospital this time was afraid that he was confused by lard, and actually ordered Yu Wenan to be the head of the case. However, Mrs. You beside Yu Wenda saw that something was wrong, if Yu Wenda was serious, no matter how big the good news about Yu Wen'an's case was, the housekeeper would not say a word about Yu Wenda.

Now that people haven't even said it, Yu Wenda can be seen to be off the list this time. But Mrs. You clearly understood in her heart, and she didn't dare to say this. She heard Xu Shi also ask, she originally wanted to block it, the young master and lady in the room are full, do you have to tell people about your son's failure in person, and compare it with the three rooms of others?

But as soon as her mouth opened, she swallowed the words from her mouth again. said that it was just a chance for Xu and Yu Wenda to be angry with themselves, so if they had to rush to lose this face, they would go.

Sure enough, as soon as Xu asked Yu Wenda, the housekeeper was a little distracted. The housekeeper looked up at the old lady, thought for a while, and said, "Young Master Wenda...... It's not on the list. ”

"What nonsense are you talking about!" Xu Shi stood up and scolded, "Isn't it that you people only saw Wen An at the top of the list, so they hurriedly ran back to report the good news and ask for a reward, and they didn't finish reading the list at all!" ”

Yu Wenda's face was even more pale, and a tea bowl fell on the housekeeper, and then scolded: "Blind your dog's eyes!" Dare to be here for anything! ”

The housekeeper knelt on the ground and said, "Madam, young master is angry, this, even if you borrow the little leopard, you don't dare to talk nonsense, the little ones have watched it back and forth several times...... Master Wenda...... Seriously...... It's not on the list. ”

"You!" Yu Wenda stood up and wanted to kick the housekeeper, but was stopped by the subordinates around him. Xu Shitie's face was blue, and the handkerchief in his hand was hanged tightly. She realized that since the day she took charge of the house, she had never lost such a big face in public. For a while, Yu Wenda was also making trouble in the hall.

"That's it!" Old Lady Yu stomped her crested head, and everyone calmed down. Old Mrs. Yu looked at Yu Wenda and persuaded: "This imperial examination is already difficult to examine, otherwise wouldn't everyone be able to make a name for themselves?" Wenda, good boy, you are not bad at learning, but you can't do it this year, just try again next year. ”

Yu Enrong also spoke: "Wen'an's release is a happy event in the house. Wenda should not be discouraged, you must know that there is a road diligent path in Shushan, and you will be more diligent in the future, and you will be able to come to Zhongju. ”

The old lady and the eldest man both opened their mouths, and Yu Wenda didn't dare to be presumptuous even if he was so angry that he ascended to heaven, so he could only kneel down and kowtow and say yes. Mrs. Liu coldly watched the second room make such a fuss, and her heart was relieved and happy.

She pushed Yu Wen'an, Yu Wen'an stepped forward, knelt down and kowtowed to the old lady and Yu Enrong, the old lady looked at him and smiled: "Good boy, get up quickly." ”

"My grandson has another matter, and I want to report it to the old lady and uncle." Yu Wenan said. Xu Shi and Yu Wenda's eyes shot towards Yu Wen'an like a knife, and Yu Wen'an felt a sense of relief, but he straightened his back and didn't feel afraid at all.

"A few days ago, Wen An met Yu Xiang and knew Yu Xuezheng, and Yu Xuezheng promised that if Wen An passed the township test, he could worship under his name and enter the country as a tribute student." Yu Wen'an said slowly, his words were like boiling oil into water, and Mrs. Yu was even more happy, and even Yu Enrong's face had a little smile.

And on the second room, the dark clouds hanging over their heads were even thicker, especially Yu Wenda, who was panting like a cow at this time, staring at Yu Wenan's back and his eyes were bloodshot.

After this concubine whom he looked down on since he was a child and bullied him from a young age, the son of a merchant woman who was not even worthy of lifting shoes for him, he actually wanted to enter the national prison as a tribute student...... It's like throwing his face on the ground and stepping on it!

Yu Wenda couldn't hear what the people around him were saying, his whole person seemed to be immersed in water, he couldn't see or hear clearly, and could only feel the light dimly. He felt his heartbeat getting stronger the more he loved, and he felt a fishy sweetness welling up in his throat.

With a "wow", Yu Wenda bent down and spit out a mouthful of blood on the carpet in front of him, and the golden light flashed in front of him. Before falling into darkness completely, Yu Wenda's eyes were still staring at Yu Wen'an's direction.
