Chapter Seventy-Five: The Dancing Girl Gambles on the Green Mule

Everyone is guessing who this new champion is, but it is half a point higher than ordinary gambling.

It's similar to betting on who this year's Oiran is.

Some people also made a special start, betting on a few jars of wine, or the host of a table in Tianxianglou, which can be regarded as a kind of entertainment for Beijing officials.

Fan Hu, the superintendent, has always been reluctant to participate in these activities, but this year there were some exceptions.

He also quietly made a bet, and the bet was none other than the big green mule kept in the backyard.

The big green mule, with a strong physique, was all blue-black, except for four hooves that were snow-white.

There is also a strand of white hair on the forehead, and when you run, the four hooves fly, and the white hair on the forehead will swing with the wind, which is very beautiful.

Looking at it from afar, this big green mule looks as good as stepping on the snow.

Yao Shangshu of the Ministry of Officials also made an unprecedented bet with Fan Hu, and his bet was much more fragrant, he was a dancing girl in the mansion.

During Chongyang last year, Fan Hu rode a big green mule to Yao Shangshu's house as a guest.

Yao Shangshu greeted him in person in front of the mansion, and fell in love with the big green mule at a glance, and was willing to bid 100 taels of silver, but Fan Hu was unwilling to cut his love.

After the meal, Yao Shangshu specially called the most proud dancer in the family to come out and dance.

The woman's eyebrows and eyes were shallow, indescribably charming, and her figure was extremely soft, and the green willow dance made Fan Hu feel the enchantment of spring in the autumn coolness.

He was inexplicably surprised, staring at Mai Ji's eyes, and he couldn't move away.

However, when Yao Shangshu asked to exchange the dancing girl for the big green mule, Fan Hu waved his hand.

He silently withdrew the crazy eyes that looked at the dancing girl, and for a moment he was as dignified as a master again.

Yao Shangshu thought that things must be safe at the time, but he didn't expect Fan Hu to be so angry.

During the Spring Festival, Yao Shangshu specially took the dancing girl to Fan Hu's house as a guest, and Fan Hu's mind became active again.

Through this bet, the two seem to have tacitly agreed that they both want to get what they have been looking forward to for a long time.

They listened to Liu Shilang talk about the oral examination of the Tiyuan Palace, thinking that the champion must be between these two people who answered the emperor's question.

Fan Hu is interested in Kong Youde, while Yao Shangshu is in love with Zhou Yao.

The two of them refused to give in to each other, so they put forward a proposal to bet.

The one who wins is both famous and beautiful.

When I think about it, I think it's a good deal.

Three days later, the list was released, Kong and Degao topped the list, and Zhou Yao and Wang Boqin were also on the list.

A few families are happy and a few are sad, and those on the list are overjoyed, so those who are not on the list are naturally depressed.

Yao Shangshu personally bought some makeup for the dancing girl, and used a green sedan chair to send it to Fan Hu's house at dusk.

Fan Hu was very proud when he saw the dancing girl, thinking about the emperor's selection of materials, he still liked to use the standards of a saint, which was gratifying.

Not only did he guess the holy will, but he also got a beauty, and he was overjoyed for a while and sang a little song.

Early the next morning, he personally washed the big green mule and fed him a handful of forage, and then reluctantly sent it to Yao Shangshu.

The dancing girl was puzzled: "Since the master won, why did he send the beloved big green mule to Yao Shangshu?" ”

Fan Hu smiled, "The most important thing is that I won the bet, this big green mule, count me as a favor to him." ”

Wu Ji admired: "It's still the old man who has elegance, and he is indeed a step above Yao Shangshu." ”

Fan Hu began to hum a little song again, as if he was a little happier than he was the champion of the system exam.

The others were not happy, because the roster, the officials of the Ministry of Rites, were all trembling.

Naturally, the seller is afraid of sin, but those who know something inside are also afraid of being implicated.

If you seriously investigate and deal with it, there are some beginnings and tails in previous years, and there are no real hands and feet that are completely clean.

Seeing that the emperor has high hopes for the new champion, when the case is concluded and the governance talent is revealed, he will inevitably be promoted exceptionally, and he will rise to the top.

After the list was released, the threshold of Kong and De's family was about to be flattened.

Although the Hongyin Dynasty also has a ban on officials not making friends without permission, but the title of the gold list is a very serious reason to come to congratulate you, and it is also the most normal to bring some congratulatory gifts.

To say that this Kong Hede is not an ordinary person, he was just a small eight-pin book in Jixian Academy before.

The work on weekdays is just copying ancient books, but now that the wealth of the sky has come, he can not be surprised, let the housekeeper close the door to thank the guests, only accept the worship post, not the congratulatory gift.

Rao is Beijing officials were taken aback, after all, the exchange of gifts is also a common thing in the social scene, but he can be so arrogant.

When Qingchi reported this matter to the emperor, the emperor was eating tea at Concubine Yun's, and when he heard it, he smiled, "This hole and virtue are not simple. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty has the wisdom to know people, and he also has the luck to serve the country, let's see how he handles the case.

Do you want me to go there myself and mention it? ”

Since Qingchi went to the Tao, he has become more adept at figuring out the emperor's intentions.

The emperor waved his hand, "No need, I see that he is also a sensible person and knows what to do."

Didn't you say you were going to clean up those old guys? ”

Qingchi's face turned red, and he knelt down on his knees and said: "I didn't ask Your Majesty, so I went to the Zhuangyuan Mansion to check on my own initiative, and asked Your Majesty to forgive me." ”

The emperor took a sip of the nightshade of Ziyun Mountain Xingong with the tea cup of Chunshan Bi, and frowned bitterly, "Get up, I know your loyalty, it's good to go and see." ”

"Your Majesty, it's nightshade to drink, although this thing is good, the taste is difficult to eat, please take some candied fruit out and eat it."

Concubine Yun smiled on the side, "The chief manager said this, I'm the one who can't bear to take candied fruit."

The nightshade of Ziyun Mountain clears heat and detoxifies, although it is difficult to eat, the curative effect is the fastest.

If you use candied fruit, it will solve the effect. Isn't that hard work in vain? ”

Qingchi heard what Concubine Yun had to say, and he didn't dare to say more, so he hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, where does the little one understand this, or Concubine Yun is knowledgeable and knowledgeable, and she is really considerate to Your Majesty." ”

After Qingchi went down, Concubine Yun looked at the empty lamp in front of the emperor and knew that he had drunk it clean, and gave him a sweet smile, which was an encouragement.

"Your Majesty, although the entrance of this nightshade is uncomfortable, it is very symptomatic.

Are you feeling better today? ”

The emperor was a little shy, thought about the wording, and said: "It is indeed much cooler, and I am not afraid of drinking water." ”

After a pause, he continued: "Hengying, I am so difficult, only you can share one or two, they are not as good as you after all." ”

As he spoke, he held Hengying's hand emotionally, pulled her into his arms, looked at her pink and tender cheeks, and couldn't help but stroke her hand a few times.

Heng Ying pushed away his hand, held it back, and met his smiling face, "Ministers, ministers, it's not a problem, it's easy to use." ”

"Well, it's reasonable, alas, don't run, you're really naughty."

Caimo saw the silhouette of two people in front of the window outside, which was very harmonious.
