Mu Heyun was blocked by his daughter and had nothing to say, and he had the heart to refute her, but after thinking about it again, even if Xie Chongning's kid didn't get into the Jinshi, he was already a real young talent, and not just anyone could become a lifter at the age of thirteen.

So he had to snort twice in dissatisfaction and change the topic, "I've already asked people to look at the list, and we'll know soon if he can pass the exam." ”

It was said that it was very fast, but it was also a long time to wait.

The long follower who was sent out to see the list was still sweating profusely in such a climate, and quickly wiped a few handfuls before entering the study to report, "Master Hou, the apricot list has been released." Young Master Ning is at the top of the high school list, and he is the leader of this year! ”

"Top of the list!"

"Huiyuan?"

Mu Heyun and Mu Yu's father and daughter not only got up at the same time, but also shouted out in unison.

Chang Sui hung his head and replied, and said in an excited tone: "Yes, Master Hou, Miss, the villain really sees it, Young Master Ning's name is at the top of the list, and it will never be wrong." When the villain came back, under the apricot list, people were still talking, saying that Young Master Ning was the youngest Huiyuan in the past hundred years! ”

When Mu Yu heard this, she was overjoyed, she clapped her hands and shouted, "Brother Ning is amazing!" I really didn't expect him to be able to pass the Huiyuan ...... It's good now......"

is worthy of being a power who can turn his hands into clouds and cover his hands for rain, she is also worried that he will not pass the test, but as a result, people will not take the test, and he will be the first in the test!

That's great. The big guy has his own future, and he doesn't hate the Hou Mansion so much, everyone can really live their own lives in the future, and she doesn't have to worry about labor anymore.

Mu Yu smiled and said, "Dad, I already know what I want to know, then I'll go back first." ”

After saying that, she saw her father wave his hand with a complicated expression and let her go.

Mu Yuhuan left the front yard happily, returned to the upper room to see Shen Mei, and quickly told her the news.

Shen Mei recovered from the shock and couldn't help but say: "Rumor, since Chongning has such a talent, he will naturally be able to live well in the future, even so, you don't have to worry about him being able to live without the Hou Mansion." ”

Mu Yu was surprised, it turned out that her mother saw it.

Shen Mei patted her hand and said, "You are kind, my mother knows it, but the matter between the Xie family and Xie Chongning, let's not get involved." He insisted on leaving, and if he was not doing well outside, your father would help him. However, he is very good now, so we don't have to put the icing on the cake. Chongning's matter, let's stop here. Understandable? ”

This time, Mu Yu nodded seriously, "Mother, I understand, I won't mention it again in the future, don't ask my father and mother to worry about me anymore." ”

She originally planned to do the same, and she did everything she could do for Boss Xie. The future of the Hou Mansion has changed, so in the future, Big Brother Xie will have his own world outside, of course, it has nothing to do with her.

*

In a simple alley, in an ordinary house, Xie Chongning was walking into the hall from the outside.

He has a handsome face and a slender body, although he is still a teenager, his demeanor in his gestures has the calmness of an adult man.

The four men sitting in the hall saw Xie Chongning coming in, and they immediately stood up and saluted, "Young Master! ”

"Uncles, don't be polite."

Xie Chongning looked around, bowed his head slightly, and saw that only the position of the head was left, so he didn't shirk and sat down directly.

Xie Yu, who was sitting at the bottom of him, burst into laughter soon, "We haven't congratulated the young master on winning the Huiyuan in the Spring Festival!" ”

Everyone immediately laughed and said yes, and they all got up again.

Xie Chongning didn't stop him, but with a faint smile on his lips, he accepted their congratulations one by one, listening to their less elaborate but sincere words in his ears, looking at their smiling faces, his eyes became more and more calm.

After a while, when everyone sat down again, he said unhurriedly: "It is not easy to gather here with all your uncles. ”

One sentence made everyone's eyes flush with tide.

These days, under the guidance of Xie Chongning, Xie Yu not only opened the racecourse, but also gathered a lot of manpower. Although he has tried his best to keep a low profile, he is still seen by the old people, and he came to the door not long ago, and it is the other three people here.

These three people, like Xie Yu, are the sons of the Xie family, because of the Xie family's business back and forth between the north and the south, when the Xie family had an accident, they were also robbed and killed, and the steward and others who were traveling together at that time died, but the three of them secretly left the team to hunt because they were young and naughty, and they were lucky to stay alive.

Later, they also sneaked back to Xie's house, only to find that not only the caravan had been killed, but the entire Xie family had been slaughtered. They were resentful, but to no avail, so they had to leave their hometown incognito, intending to help each other survive first, and then track down the truth.

It was also because they never gave up listening to the people and things related to the Xie family that they noticed Xie Yu's existence and finally found Xie Chongning.

With Xie Chongning, they have the backbone and feel that revenge is hopeful.

Xie Chongning glanced at it, probably guessing what they were thinking, and he said calmly: "Now this is just the beginning, there are still many things waiting for us to do." I can't do much in the Ming place, and the more tricky things will have to be done by your uncles. ”

Xie Yi, who was the head of Xie Yu, was straightforward, and immediately continued: "Young master, what are you talking about, all you can do is a big deal, we are just dealing with some general affairs, what kind of hard work is it." ”

Xie Wen, who was wearing a cyan robe on the other side and looked like a middle-aged scribe, also nodded in agreement, "Yes, if there is anything, the young master just orders it." ”

Xie Cheng next to him looked very inconspicuous, but his eyes were shining, and he said thoughtfully when he heard this: "Brother Yu's horse farm has been opened, and when it comes to summer, we will be able to recover a lot of capital one after another, shouldn't we also open this shop." ”

Xie Chongning looked at him and bowed his head slightly, "Uncle Cheng is right, the shops in the north and south should indeed be opened, and the caravan should be built slowly, but don't worry, these can come gradually." ”

The best way to get the news is to build a caravan, but this thing must not be done abruptly, but as a matter of course.

The other people present began to think about the shop and the caravan, and Xie Chongning said at this time: "I will take the palace test next month, and it is not difficult to come to my Huiyuan to get a Jinshi background." It's a pity that I'm too young to be able to enter the ranks as directly as others, but it's very likely that I will be arranged to continue my studies in Guozijian according to the previous precedent......"

The prisoners of the Guozi Prison all asked to eat and live together, and if he went in to be treated as a prisoner, it would be a little troublesome, and he could only wait until the day of rest to meet them.

Of course, according to Xie Chongning's guess, it should not be so.

But the worst must always be thought of in everything, so he still brought up this possibility in advance.

"In order to avoid it being difficult to meet in the future, in the days before the palace examination, we will discuss what to do after a good discussion, so that even if we meet less, it will not be harmed."

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but feel a little sorry that he couldn't get out as soon as possible, but then they thought it would be good. After all, the young master is still young, and it is always good to study for two more years. Since we want to take the official career, we must have a solid foundation, so that we can go higher and farther in the future, and we can investigate the events of the year clearly.

After thinking about it, everyone said in unison: "Listen to the young master's orders!" ”

Xie Chongning has always been accustomed to thinking of things from the worst outcome, but he underestimated the turmoil caused by his entrance examination. After all, he is the youngest Huiyuan in a hundred years, and after the list was released, the news spread in the capital within a few days, and even reached the heavens.

On March 15, after the palace test, the young emperor came in person, sat on the dragon chair, and the first thing he said was, "I will take a look, which is Xie Chongning, a young talent who has only been born in a hundred years?" ”

Xie Chongning, who was standing in the hall with the others, moved slightly, he calmed down, hurriedly stepped forward, and kowtowed: "Meet Your Majesty, the grass people are Xie Chongning." It's just the name of a young talent born once in a hundred years, but he doesn't dare to be it. ”

"Oh?" The emperor's eyes were a little more interested, "Why?" ”

Xie Chongning said respectfully: "The results of the palace examination have not yet come out, and the grass people dare not call themselves talents. ”

After the emperor was stunned, he laughed, and then said to the courtier who was the first to be lower: "Elder Yang Ge, Xiao Huiyuan is urging to announce the results of the palace examination soon, what do you think?" ”

Elder Yang Ge said solemnly: "The minister obeys the order." ”

As he spoke, he raised the scroll of paper with both hands, took it with his attendant, and unfolded it in front of the emperor's eyes.

As his gaze swept over, the color of the emperor's eyes changed slightly, but in an instant, he returned to normal. A satisfied smile seemed to appear on his young face, and he said, "Yes, yes, this year's imperial examination can select a lot of good materials for the imperial court." The others will be announced according to this ranking, but this Xie Chongning, I want to be specially commended. ”

Hearing this, Xie Chongning's heart sank slightly, and he only felt that he had expected it.

Sure enough, his name was not included in the three lists read by the attendants.

When the reading was finished and everyone had not yet knelt down to thank him, the emperor suddenly waved his robe sleeves and said in a loud voice: "Xie Chongning won the Huiyuan in one fell swoop as a young man, and he was able to learn well. ”

After finishing speaking, he smiled uninhibitedly: "Xie Qing is satisfied with my reward?" ”

Xie Chongning immediately kowtowed, "Emperor Xie appreciates, the minister must live up to the holy hope, study hard, in order to share the emperor's worries as soon as possible!" ”

Seeing this, Yang Ge's lips on the side moved for a moment, but in the end they were still tightly closed, and he did not say anything against it.

He originally had other arrangements for Xie Chongning, but at the moment, it seemed that he was useless.

That's it, since the emperor has approved the results of the palace examination proposed by several of them, it is harmless for them to make some small concessions.

Although Xie Chongning is a talented person, he is too young, so what is the use of wooing him now. After a few years, when he is older, he will naturally know how to choose what is best for him.
