Chungui was also taken aback: "Falling off the list? How so? Doesn't it mean that with Gong Zhizheng taking care of him, he should be nine out of ten in the middle of the jinshi? ”

"Originally, it was like this, but who made the old lady hold a grudge against me? I told Gong Zhizheng that I was unwilling to back down and that they were planning to cheat for personal gain, saying that I was going to threaten him with this matter, which was simply a big rebellion, and the old lady thought that Gong Zhizheng was my teacher, so I fell into a prejudice, although I was ahead of Zhu Qingyu in the exam, there was no teacher to support me in the future, and even suffered from the suppression of the teacher, and I would lose to Zhu Qingyu in the long run. ”

"As a result, the old lady lifted a stone and shot her feet?" Spring return makes a bold guess.

Lan Ting smiled: "Gong Zhizheng can agree to cheat for personal gain, which means that he is not an honest and selfless person, he and the old lady only have the friendship of classmates, and when he agrees to cheat, he may also consider the factor that the old lady is the in-law of the Taishi Mansion after all, and the old lady is playing this right and wrong in front of him, undoubtedly telling Gong Zhizheng that not only will I not take care of the outside family, but there are even disputes." "One is very likely to be three yuan and the first ten thousand people's attention, the other is an ordinary talent, the future is uncertain, when Zhao Lanting and Zhu Qingyu students go to both ends of the scale, you can imagine which side Gong Zhizheng's mind will deviate.

So Gong Zhizheng completely restrained his heart for Zhu Qingyu.

"But it won't be off the list, will it?" Chun Gui asked carefully, she was not happy to see that because of Gong Zhizheng's selfishness, the relationship between Lan Ting and the foreign family deteriorated, this is not to say that Chun Gui also thinks that Lan Ting still has the possibility of reconciling with the foreign family, she just cares that Lan Ting is used by people like Gong Zhizheng, and provokes the deeper jealousy of the Zhu family for no reason, as the saying goes, it is better to sin the gentleman than to sin the villain, and it is not a good thing to have too deep a grudge with the villain.

"Today, Gong Zhizheng made a special trip to invite me for an interview, not only relayed the old lady's words to me word for word, but also defended himself, saying that he did not agree to the old lady's personal fraud, it was just perfunctory, who knew that the old lady heard it but misunderstood, but he said that the old lady was wishful thinking. In turn, he really can't believe in the old lady's morality now, and he naturally needs to avoid suspicion of Zhu Qingyu, so he deliberately divided Zhu Qingyu's current affairs and policies to the rest of the examiners to decide, and the examiner read the papers very strictly, and did not approve of Zhu Qingyu's strategy, thinking that it was a cliché and lost the spirit of the new, Gong Zhizheng recognized the examiner's opinion, so he criticized Zhu Qingyu for falling first, but he told me very tactfully that with Zhu Qingyu's opinion, even if he took the Jindian test, he could not get the second grade, and it was better to wait for three more years and try again with the Jinshi background. ”

Chungui was dumbfounded: "Gong Zhizheng said that he had no intention of cheating, how did he know which test paper was answered by Zhu Qingyu?" ”

This is really full of nonsense, anyway, he is the chief examiner of the first list of exams, and he is also a great Confucian scholar, so he doesn't have the allusion of "self-contradiction"?

"He has the need to plead, but he also understands that this is nothing more than a formality, so he can't care about self-contradiction, Gong Zhizheng is a very well-behaved person, he doesn't want to take any risks because of Zhu Qingyu, and he doesn't want to do things too desperately to offend the Zhu family, he deposed Zhu Qingyu, but gave Zhu Qingyu a chance to go down the field after three years, so as not to fall into the top three during the palace examination, this stain will make the Zhu family never clean."

"I have already informed my grandmother, in order to hide from the clean, I will go to the other garden with you for a short stay in the next few days, this is the night before I go out, I promised to take it

Where you go. Lan Ting actually didn't want to say much about the Zhu family, so he changed the topic in time.

Chungui's cheeks were inexplicably hot again, just like that day upstairs in the Qin Pavilion, her cheeks were buried with charcoal by Lan Ting, just need to be ignited by fire, and they will heat up immediately.

The garden is on the outskirts of the city, built against a hill at the back, although there is a small market not far away, but more is the field woodland, this piece has both humble huts and high-rise buildings, the car passes through the road, hears the barking of dogs, vaguely feels a piece of floating fragrance, quietly opens the curtain and looks, it turns out that it is the wall of the unknown house, and pokes out a swaggering red apricot.

"It is said that in the room, living in the mountains and rivers is the top, the village is second, and the suburbs are second, this garden is located on the outskirts of the city, in terms of location, it is the second ranking, but it is stronger than living in the city."

Lan Ting saw that Chungui got out of the car in front of the door, but he was not in a hurry to go in, but stood on the ground and looked around, quite greedily enjoying the freedom outside the courtyard wall, so he said such a sentence, and he was not in a hurry to enter the garden, and accompanied Chungui to look around here.

"Having said that, but there are also famous people who say that even if our generation can only mix in the market, it is necessary to have an elegant and clean door, a beautiful room, a pavilion with the arms of a gentleman, and a quiet person in the pavilion, as long as it does not commit extravagant civil engineering, Shang Dan, it is not the same shackles." Chun Gui took a few deep breaths of the light fragrance on the outskirts of the city, and smiled her teeth happily: "Don't bring me here on purpose, it won't be because this is a shackle Fan threshold, presumably even if the lot is not as good as Feng Weng Fengyu's white head, it is also interesting." ”

After saying that, she finally turned around and looked up at the plaque hanging from the gate.

Born in June.

"It's called the Śrāyūkan." Lan Ting also looked up to see the plaque hanging on the gate.

"It's also a pen book." Haruki recognized the handwriting.

"This annex was placed by my grandfather back then, but he did not interfere in the construction of the building, and he gave me the Xisheng Pavilion in the early morning. Lan Ting's heart was quite happy.

Chungui realized another surprise from these words: "This annex belongs to the only one? ”

It sounds like there is a suspicion of being a money fan, but Lan Ting naturally knows where the surprise of the spring return is: "Yes, the servants in the annex are all their own people, and Huihui can enjoy himself here." ”

"But Mama Fei followed." The hostess of the annex was quite resentful, and she was very dissatisfied with Uncle Zhao's decision to let Mother Song sit in charge of the garden and come to the annex with Mama Fei.

Lan Ting smiled with a stretched eyebrow: "Mama Fei has a reason why she has to come along, but Huihui shouldn't be too frustrated, she will go back to the mansion tomorrow." ”

What kind of name is this? Chungui was suspicious in his heart, and followed Lan Ting into the street door of the annex.

Inside, you can see a huge mountain stone as a shadow wall, not an ordinary rockery that is excavated and built, it is like a naturally generated big hill, which strictly blocks the structure inside, and there are a few oblique red hearts on the mountain stone, which blooms brightly and brightly, and there are roses climbing and growing, like a tough business but softens the rigidity of the cliff. The two sides of the mountain wall are not built according to the norms of the courtyard with east and west screen gates, respectively, there are verandahs with black green tile roofs for people to walk into, and the verandah is surrounded by high-density green bamboos on both sides, so that the sight can not directly see the scenery in the courtyard.

Walking in the verandah, when it suddenly opened, Fang saw that a high platform was being built in the courtyard, and he went up the white stone stairs.

But it is not the peach and plum white of the courtyard, and the purple and red, and if you are on the top of the forest and the sea and the blue waves, this scene seems to be connected with the hill behind the annex, so that people suddenly seem to have been far away from the red dust of the consciousness, in June, the front yard of the annex is not built according to the usual system, there is a lobby, this high platform has the effect of a little problem, the landscape is spacious, and the idea is fine.

If you want to come to this high platform to have a banquet and drink, the interest should be far better than sitting in the hall.

But today there are no guests seated, only a table and two bamboo mats are placed on the high platform.

"Let's dine here for a while, and then go to see the living place with Huihui." Lan Ting made a "please" gesture.

It's just lunch, no wine, only a few home-cooked dishes, but the taste is very delicious, and after returning to the spring after this "hand show", I immediately feel empty in my stomach, and I am very much in favor of Uncle Zhao's intimate arrangement.

It's just that there is still a servant standing on the high platform, who has passed the age of not being confused, Lan Ting introduced that he is the chief steward of the annex, called Uncle Bao, after Uncle Bao saw the hostess, Lan Ting asked again: "Mr. Tao can be in Xinyi Garden recently?" ”

"Mr. Tao has been closed for a long time, and he confessed that he was compiling a book on gardening, although he knew that the uncle was coming today, the servants did not dare to disturb Mr." Uncle Bao replied respectfully.

"You shouldn't disturb Mr." Lan Ting's jaw.

After Uncle Bao retired, the spring return was finally able to feast, she tasted the delicious dishes, while listening to Lan Ting's explanation: "The Xisheng Pavilion was built by Mr. Tao, so my grandfather specially paid Xinyi Garden for Mr. to live in, although Mr. Bao's residence belongs to the house of the Xisheng Pavilion, but it also opens another street door, so you can not disturb each other." Mr. Tao also studied under Min Gong and is Yin Jun's senior brother, but Mr. is determined to build a garden and has no career thoughts, and he is deaf to the affairs of the court. ”

"Then it seems that I can't meet Mr. Tao in person and express my admiration to him." Chun Guicai didn't care whether Mr. Tao was aspiring to his career, and in her opinion, the person who could make the pavilion and garden so elegant and majestic was more worthy of admiration than high-ranking officials and ministers.

"There's always a chance in the future." Lan Ting smiled.

Chungui couldn't help but ask: "Do you have the ambition to be like a phoenix in the future, choose a valley and build a room?" ”

"How does Hui Hui know?"

"Don't name the house in the Taishi Mansion to reprimand, compare yourself to the birds, I guess it's an irony that you are now trapped in Vanity Fair, and it is inevitable that there will be a violation of your will. And the suburb of the city this annex named Xisheng Hall, the name of 'Pengzhi in the south of the underworld, the water hit three thousand miles, the one who swayed up 90,000 miles, and the one who went to rest in June', implying that since he came here, he should reflect on it, and be alert that although he is trapped in Vanity Fair, he does not forget the ambition of the bird, and the Dapeng spreads its wings, and it needs to rise in the June wind. So between the mountains and rivers, away from the glitz and mundane world, in order not to focus on fame and fortune, in the future, will not have a mountain residence to express aspirations. ”

Escapism does not mean that ambition is high, and of course mountain dwelling can not reflect the ambition and cleanliness, but between the mountains and rivers, people can not be disturbed by the red dust of the city, which is conducive to quiet the body and mind, get rid of distracting thoughts, and often encourage themselves. It is necessary to live in June, and one day it will be able to travel thousands of miles.

Lan Ting said sincerely: "Hui Hui is a true confidant. ”
