Chapter Twenty-Nine: Punishment of the Heart (I)

Pu Yangying looked at Xiao Jingning suddenly, and there were too many emotions bursting out of those eyes, so complicated that Xiao Jingning couldn't analyze what was expressed there. But she still came to a useful conclusion, and that guess must have been sidelined, if not wrong. It's not right, it doesn't matter, just treat it as nonsense and make up your own words.

As if he hadn't seen Pu Yangying's gaffe, Xiao Jingning seemed to be talking and laughing with a close friend of the boudoir: "Speaking of which, although Yeqin is only a small country whose territory is not as big as Jinling City, the customs and the way of governing the country are quite desirable, especially the selection system of Yelingzi, which is really impossible in my Daliang." ”

When he heard that Ye Qin was younger than Jinling City, Pu Yangying's eyes showed anger, although he knew that what Xiao Jingning said was the truth, he just felt that it was satirizing Ye Qin as just a small country. No matter how small the country is, it is his country and his home, and whoever it is, as long as he is disrespectful to his country, he will make the other party pay. But he just looked at Xiao Jingning coldly and didn't speak.

It should be said that Xiao Jingning has always regarded the subject country as a part of the Great Liang, and the king there is only equivalent to a vassal king, so she really didn't mean to stimulate him, but it was really good to have such an effect.

He nodded with a smile and continued: "That Yeling Palace Xue is also equivalent to my Great Liang's Taixue, right?" But I have a lot of people in Liangzi, and I can't do as fine as Yeqin to select talents. Even so, to be able to stand out among so many children of the same age, the qualifications of these fifty people should be quite good. The Puyang family can be brothers among those fifty people, and the Guru's family must be very proud and proud of you. ”

Pu Yangying, who was already very angry, relaxed a lot with the coldness in Xiao Jingning's eyes, and seemed to have fallen into memory. At that time, their family was indeed harmonious and beautiful, and the two children were both pillars of talent, which pair of parents was unhappy, which pair of parents was not proud? He once really wanted to walk side by side with his younger brother in the palace school, become a night lingzi together, and make his parents even more proud. When...... What has changed? Why...... Want to change?

"You have the best gentleman to teach the six arts of civil and martial arts, and you should call them Zhangzun and Zhangzhi." Xiao Jingning looked at Pu Yangying, "Looking at the Master's actions over the years, although it is said that I am the enemy of the Great Liang, I have to admit that even if the Master has not fully demonstrated his ability, he is indeed a person with amazing talents, and he must be among the best in his schoolwork." ”

"Master's elder brother......" Silently looking at Pu Yangying's expression, Xiao Jingning suddenly changed his words, "It seems that it is the younger brother, his talent should not be below you, right?" ”

Pu Yangying knew that his mind had been disturbed by the queen, and she caught her and turned out the long-buried memories. Knowing that the most important thing to do at this time was to interrupt, knowing that it was wrong to go on like this, but he suddenly wanted to hear her continue. He always felt that the queen in front of him had a pair of perceptive eyes, and could see many things that others could not see, and there were some things that he still couldn't understand, and he suddenly wanted to know how the queen looked. It was he who nodded slowly in Xiao Jingning's scrutinizing gaze: "Yes, Ah Yi and I are on par in our homework, and we are tied for the top spot in that palace school." ”

"It turns out that his name is Ah Yi, 'looking for righteousness and reasoning, reasoning about its clues', which is a good name. The name of the guru, 'the spear with a long tassel on it, stained with blood and not frightened', is also a good name. Xiao Jingning smiled and nodded, "Your parents have great expectations for you. ”

Is that what their names originally meant? Recalling the happy family in the past, Puyang Ying nodded sadly: "Yes, they originally had great expectations for us......"

"When you reach the age of fourteen, you will be personally evaluated by Zhangzun, and you will be strictly examined at all levels, and only less than twenty percent of you will be able to stay and be successfully promoted to Ye Lingzi, that is to say, there are fifty of you, and less than ten people will be able to stay in the end." Xiao Jingning's expression and even his eyes did not change when he looked at Pu Yangying, but he was stating a fact: "The younger brother stayed, and the elder brother was the one who left." ”

"Why?" Obviously, he is already in charge, and he is still mobilizing the Ye Lingzi to stir up the wind and rain in this big beam, Pu Yangying doesn't understand why Xiao Jingning is so sure, "Since Ying and A Yi are both at the top of the list, why does Niangniang think that Ying will leave?" ”

Xiao Jingning smiled on his lips, looked at Pu Yangying for a long time, and said leisurely: "Does the master think that the selection will be absolutely immutable?"

Pu Yangying instinctively felt that Xiao Jingning's next words would be something he hadn't understood all along, so he was angry, but he felt that he shouldn't listen, as long as he didn't know some things, he could be confused forever, and it was a blessing to be confused. But now that he has come to this point, he actually has nothing to lose. The heart struggled incomparably, but the throat had already taken a step ahead of the brain: "Why do you say this? ”

"There has never been anyone in this world who can be absolutely fair and just, even a saint, he has his own preferences." Xiao Jingning slowly spit out this extremely dark sentence, but he didn't give Pu Yangying time to refute, and continued: "After Ye Lingzi cultivates again, he can serve as the royal family's confidant and important minister, and his status is extremely respectful, how can he let the two siblings enter easily? ”

"Nonsense!" Pu Yangying was furious, "The layers of strict examinations in the palace are all supervised by the palm and the palm envoy, how can it be as unbearable as you said!" These filthy things can only happen to a so-called big country like you, where the crowd is mixed! ”

Pu Yangying tried hard to recall, hoping to find even a pair of brothers in her memory, but it was in vain, really...... No. Something collapsed at this moment.

Xiao Jingning didn't care about his roar like a trapped beast, and his eyes were full of calmness: "Actually, they didn't mean to do this, but they buried such a worry in the depths of their hearts, because when they meet brothers and sisters like you, they will subconsciously be more strict, and their requirements will naturally be higher." ”。

Pu Yangying was like a helpless child at this time, wanting to reach out and plug his ears, Xiao Jingning's peaceful voice made him sound extremely hateful, no less than a flood beast, desperately telling himself not to listen, but he couldn't help but want to continue listening to her, because those things were things he had never thought about. Even he thought it was ridiculous, obviously he had always insisted on what he had identified, but one day he was gently and skillfully denied by a woman, but he actually felt that the words were impeccable!
