Song Feiyi finally returned to the capital from the small mountain village in the east.

He was about to find an inn to live in temporarily, when he walked into the door of the Fulai Inn, he heard a lot of discussion in the lobby.

Occasionally, there is a rumor of an emperor, a daughter or something, thinking that the emperor is his uncle, and he is also engaged to a cousin of the emperor's mansion, although it is only now that it is over, it is better to inquire.

So Song Feiyi approached the hot table where the conversation was hot, politely saluted the three people who were sitting, and asked, "Brothers, I don't know what happened to the Emperor's Mansion?" ”

The three chattering people looked up at Song Feiyi who was standing in front of the table, and quietly looked at it, and one of them was dressed in blue cloth and said, "Are you here to participate in the scientific examination, do you want to visit the Emperor's Mansion?" ”

The other party had already found a good reason for Song Feiyi, so he rode a donkey downhill and said, "That's right, I don't know how Brother Tai can see it?" ”

The prince and the crown are taught by the emperor, and the crown will follow the monarch to take care of important affairs, and there is no need to go to the court, in the eyes of the officials, this is an official position with no real power, it is a chicken rib, but in the eyes of the reader, it is a god-like existence.

In the triennial scientific examination, almost all candidates will go to the Emperor's Mansion to visit, just like a convention.

There are three general reasons: one is to sharpen the gun in the hope that you can benefit from something you don't understand, the second is to get a touch of the atmosphere of a Confucian family, hoping to get good luck, and the most important point is to get a post about the Qing Talk.

The person sitting next to him just now, with a long beard, patted the stool next to the table and beckoned, "Come on, little brother, sit down and talk." ”

Song Fei also did not shirk and sat on the stool. I heard the bearded man continue: "The capital is the most lively at this time, I don't know how many candidates come to refer to it, although you are dressed ordinary, but the quality of the literature is polite, you can know it at a glance." After speaking, he raised his head proudly.

Song Fei also arched his hand, looking flattering: "It's still brother Tai's discerning eye." ”

The tall and thin one who had not yet spoken, said, "Look at the voice of the little brother, it doesn't look like a person from the capital." ”

Song Fei also scratched his head shyly and said, "That's true, I came from Yucheng in the east, and I only arrived today." ”

Song Fei has also learned the accent there for more than a month in Yucheng, although it is almost a bit hot to hide from the locals of Yucheng, but it is enough to bluff the locals of the capital.

The tall and thin man said: "No wonder you don't know about the major events that have happened in the capital in the past month, and you don't know if this year's Emperor's Mansion will open its doors to welcome guests and hold a meeting." ”

Song Fei also pretended to be very curious and asked: "What happened, why did Xiao Sheng come here for the first time, and asked the three brothers to give some advice, don't make a taboo." ”

This kind of words greatly satisfied the vanity of these three people, and said with a beard: "More than a month ago, the general's mansion let the upper authorities destroy the door, and they didn't let any of them go, until now the guillotine shouts that you can see faint bloodstains, how many people do you say this is killed." He shook his head regretfully.

Song Fei also pretended to be a boy who didn't know anything, suppressed the grief and anger in his heart, and asked, "But what does this have to do with the Emperor's Mansion?" ”

The middle-aged man in Tsing Yi next to him said with interest: "You don't know this, the emperor and the general's wife of the emperor's mansion are brothers and sisters of the same mother, and Qin Meng, who was still the lady of the emperor's mansion at that time, is a celebrity in the whole capital, not only looks beautiful and beautiful, but also reads poetry and books, whether it is the Kyoto talent list or the beauty list, it is the first existence." ”

The other bearded man nodded and recalled: "Those who ask for relatives can step through the threshold of the Emperor's Mansion, and if they line up in a long line, they can go around the capital." However, the Song family, which was later selected as a third-generation general, is also a good match, and I heard that it was Miss Qin Meng who chose it herself. ”

The tall and thin man was not to be outdone, and added: "That wedding is also grand, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is ten miles of red makeup, there is no ten miles from the Emperor's Mansion General's Mansion, and the red carpet is spread all over ten miles, and both sides of the red carpet are full of peach blossom potted plants that Miss Qin Meng likes, it can be seen that General Song Xiao put Miss Qin Meng very much, but after marriage, the two went to the border together and never saw each other again." ”

Song Feiyi had never heard such a sensation between his parents since he was a child, and he was fascinated by it, so he continued to ask: "And then?" ”

The tall and thin man continued: "Later, two children were sent back, one girl has never been seen in the palace, I don't know if it is the same beauty, and there is a boy in the capital, who is also first-class and good-looking, but he does not often go out of the general's mansion. ”

Song Fei also replied in his heart: My sister is naturally beautiful, and then deliberately asked: "Could it be that this in-law, the monarch sent the emperor's mansion?" ”

The bearded man picked up the wine glass and took a sip, and continued: "Where, the Emperor's Mansion is fine, the current Miss Qin Yu of the Emperor's Mansion is something, the son who came back from the General's Mansion is engaged to Miss Qin Yu, and he originally wanted to kiss and kiss, after all, as the saying goes, cousins and cousins are born as a pair, who knows that such a thing will happen before they have passed the door." ”

Song Fei also didn't have much impression of this cousin, but he could guess how difficult this cousin's life was now, after all, if in the Jin Dynasty, if the fiancé died before the marriage, he needed to be widowed and could not remarry. And be criticized by others.

Song Fei also asked a little guilty, "Then this Miss Qin Yu is still in the Emperor's Mansion now?" ”

Qingbu Yiyi said regretfully: "How can it, saying that this emperor is also ruthless, how can a girl like a flower and jade be willing to be sent to a nunnery in the suburbs." ”

Song Feiyi was not familiar with the so-called uncle, he didn't expect it to be like this, and he was even more guilty, and asked, "When did you send it?" ”

The green cloth replied: "It was sent away the day after the general's mansion was destroyed." ”

Song Feiyi nodded as if he had heard something big, and said, "I see." ”

The tall and thin man saw Song Feiyi's honest appearance and reminded: "You still don't go to the Emperor's Mansion first, and then see the situation." ”

After listening to this, Song Feiyi nodded in the same way and said, "Thank you for your guidance this time, this meal is a little brother, come and drink." ”

The three of them looked at Song Feiyi Although he was a candidate, he didn't look pedantic and high-minded, and even regarded him as his own, raised his glass and said, "Then thank you little brother, I wish you this high school." ”

Song Feiyi also smiled heartily: "Then inherit the three brothers." ”

After pushing the cup and changing the lamp, it was already a sunset rising in the west.

Song Feiyi unconsciously walked to the nunnery they said, and saw a woman who didn't apply powder, so she pulled a bun in her hair and pinned it with a wooden hairpin, swept the fallen leaves under the Bodhi tree, turned around, and saw Song Feiyi, her eyes were slightly red.

Song Feiyi hurriedly opened his eyes, about to turn around and leave, but when he turned around, he heard a voice behind him: "Cousin." The tone was bleak, and Song Feiyi's back was straight.
