Chapter 36: Ministry of Rites
"I know where the little girl lives, and Qiao Song is the first place in this exam. Do you want to go and see the little girl? "The master really hadn't seen him for three years when he left, and he was lucky, and he got along with them for more than a year, if it wasn't for Zhou Guo breaking the contract, he would probably still be in that small courtyard, watching her busy figure and witnessing her growth.
They didn't know about the plague in the upper county this time, if they knew that she had also been involved, they would probably criticize her hatefully, how old they are, they think about how capable they can be to help the world and save people!
Fortunately, they didn't know for the time being, but when the truth was exposed, Qiao Xi still did not escape the fate of being criticized.
"Hit?" Xue Bing's expression was a little unnatural, he didn't expect that the boy who looked a little thin back then was really amazing, it seemed that he was poisoned by that girl.
"Yes, yes. Master? "He really wants to meet the little girl, I don't know if she still remembers him.
"Stupid? Rushing there is not going to cause her trouble. I don't know if the old fox has been moving a little too often lately. Xue Bing picked up the paperweight on the table and threw it towards Lin Feng. The old fox wouldn't let his guard down on him, how could he cause trouble for the girl.
"Master, how can I harm you and the girl, of course there is a valid reason." Of course, he knows the master's concerns, and he doesn't know what the old fox wants to do, but they are not afraid, these days they are decadent, but there is no secret, but more like the sky, the strength of the dark department is more perfect, plus the kid's ideas, now a lot of things are in their hands.
The old fox is old after all, and he begins to look ahead and backwards, and he will never make a mistake if he is not sure.
But young people are different, they dare to fight, and they are not afraid of getting hurt, so they have picked up some connections with the old fox and destroyed a lot of his territory.
People say that arrogance is to have capital, what the old fox is fighting for, nothing more than two things, one is the right, the other is money, the right can not be moved for the time being, but the money is okay, without a lot of silver, no matter how much power it is, it is empty talk, what to do is tied, want to make people sell their lives, naturally give some first, otherwise who will do this kind of thing, buying and selling, the emphasis is on the pay to do it, pay less to do it.
"Really? So what are the reasons you want to use? "Xue Bing's face 'If you can't say a valid reason', just like your endless expression, squinting at Lin Feng.
"See a doctor, don't you keep claiming that your feet can't get better, and it's a little decadent, this girl has not been in the capital for a few days, and the movement is not small, Qiao's Hospital has let her do it, I didn't pay much attention to it at first, and I will be very sure when I hear their address." Some time ago, I heard someone mention Qiao's Hospital, but most people still uphold a wait-and-see attitude, although there were associations at that time, but I felt that it was not possible, how could someone open a shop in their own place to do business, this can still be quiet.
I didn't expect this girl to like to go against others, others can't do it, but she did it, she really was born a calf and is not afraid of tigers, and she is ready to do a big job in this capital.
"Qiao's Hospital? It's a pretty new name. Well, that's what to do. There is no way to give gifts above board, so prepare more silver tickets for her, the little girl should like it. "Since I went in the name of seeing a doctor, there are some things that can't be delivered, but it doesn't matter, when it's a little more stable, those things that have been prepared can also be delivered to her, she should be happy.
"Yes, when is the master going to go?"
"What do you say?"
"Yes, yes, I'll arrange it, I'll arrange it." Lin Feng wiped the sweat on his forehead at all, and quickly arranged it!
As soon as Lin Feng left, Xue Bing also began to tidy up his appearance, he was going to see the little girl, and he didn't know how the little girl would react when she saw him, she shouldn't be very welcome, but he cheated her back then, this girl held a grudge, thinking of that angry little face, Xue Bing couldn't help but smile.
The carriage stopped steadily at the entrance of Qiao's Hospital, Lin Feng helped Xue Bing get out of the carriage, looking at the four big characters in front of him, he knew who it was, this girl is amazing, she is still involved with that kid.
Today's consultation is Lily, I saw a carriage parked at the door of the hospital, I glanced at the door twice, I don't know, I was startled when I saw it, obediently, isn't that Uncle Lin, why is he here? And also holding a person?
"Ah, Sister Lily, a patient has come to the door." Sun Min was the younger brother of the running hall today, and when he saw the carriage at the door, he shouted happily to Lily.
"I've seen it, don't be so screaming. Beware of the girl nagging at you again. "This kid can't be quiet for a while, it's all his voice, and his ears are calloused.
"It's not the first time." He's used to it, and if the girl doesn't talk to him one day, he'll feel uncomfortable!
"I won't tell you, I'll take a look." After saying that, the people had already rushed to the gate.
"I wonder if the two of you are going to see a doctor or grab medicine?" As soon as Sun Min saw people, he stepped forward to greet him with great enthusiasm.
"See a doctor."
"Oh, please, inside please."
"Sun Min, you look here, I'll take the patient to the back, if someone inquires, they will say that they are seeing a doctor, understand?" He knew Lin Feng, and the one beside him had the honor to meet once-—— the king side by side, but he didn't expect Uncle Lin to be the person who was the king side by side.
The doctor was fake, and it was estimated that he came to find the girl. She remembered the reason why Uncle Lin stayed in Qiao's house back then, so it means that the person the girl saved back then was the king of one word.
"Understood." Although Sun Min has jumped out of the way, he is smart. Uncle Lin and they know each other, but they haven't seen the one next to him, and the one who can let him serve carefully must be his master, and looking at the appearance of the person, as well as the aura around him, he must be a person with status.
Coupled with Sister Lily's reminder, presumably this person's identity is not low, and there should be a tail to follow, just like to find out.
Come on, come on, he's still bored, no one to play with him, and since someone has sent it to the door, then he'll tease them.
"Two of you, please." After all, this is the mouth of the alley, so it is better to be cautious in speaking. So he led them to the next room first, which can be regarded as eye-catching.
They are hiding very well, but they are still too weak for Lily, send people to keep an eye on some capable people, but send some small minions, what can these people do, in the face of absolute strength, they are vulnerable.
"Do you want to go back and report the news?" Outside Qiao's Hospital, there were about three groups of people who followed Xue Bing, and when they saw him enter Qiao's Hospital, they discussed with their own people to see if they should report to the government.
"Let's see. I guess I really came to see a doctor. "This word side by side with the king's feet has been wasted for three years, big and small to see how many doctors, stunned is not able to cure, this time a new hospital opened, of course, I want to try it, maybe there can be a miracle.
Thinking of this possibility, the questioner also felt that this possibility was more likely.
No one wants to be a waste, especially a person who wants to fight on the battlefield like the king side by side.
After Lily led them into the room, she walked out through the other door of the room, and the hospital itself was connected to the house, and as soon as she came out of the room, she came to the courtyard of Qiao's house, and when she first came, the courtyard was empty, and after the girl came, she added a lot of vitality to the courtyard, and the plum blossoms were the most beautiful.
"Sister Lily, why are you back? Ah, Uncle Lin. Long time no see, who is this? "Chunhua was about to go out, but she didn't expect to meet Lily, let alone meet Uncle Lin here, and Uncle Lin brought a stranger over!
"Long time no see." Lin Feng was familiar with them, and when he saw that Chunhua still remembered him, he also greeted her with a smile on his face.
"Is the girl out?" Lily asked.
"I'm out, but the eldest son and the younger son are in the study." Chunhua hurriedly replied.
"Okay, I know, help me make some tea first, and use the tea leaves brought by the girl." Lily commanded again.
"Hey, I'll go."
"I'm sorry, Uncle Lin, please."
"The two of you sit down for a while, and I'll call Childe out."
"Go, go."
Lily blessed Xue Bing, turned around and walked towards the backyard. Fire Book Bar
When Qiao Song heard Lily say that Uncle Lin was coming, he immediately put down the book in his hand and took his younger brother to the front hall.
"Uncle Lin~~ Uncle." Qiao Song walked into the hall and saw Uncle Lin sitting there talking to someone, the man measured his head slightly, and he couldn't see the person's appearance clearly for a while.
Probably hearing Qiao Song's voice, the two of them looked up at her at the same time, and at this moment, Qiao Song also recognized the person next to Lin Feng, wasn't that person the uncle who was saved by his sister three years ago, how could he be here, could it be that he was from the capital.
Yes, it must be, otherwise how could it be here.
"Yes, remember me." Xue Bing had a faint smile on his face.
"Remember, remember. I wonder what uncle is here this time? "Seriously, he only met at that time, the reason why he can remember it is only because this person's aura is impressive, he was only twelve years old at the time, no matter how steady he is, he is just a child, and his eyes are very aggressive, he didn't dare to look at him at that time, just a little sister, no big or small, at that time he was worried about her.
"I heard that you won the first place in the exam, so I want to come and see, when will the little girl come back?" He can't stay too long, and if it lasts for a long time, it will easily cause those people to speculate.
"My little sister has been busy lately, and she won't come back until it gets dark. It might be a waste of time. "Uncle's drunken intention is not to drink, this is purely for my sister.
"That's not going to happen, it seems that the little girl has been very busy in the past few years." This girl is the master who can't be idle, so she likes all kinds of tinkering, but every time she makes it, she has a lot of heart. Every year, he didn't forget to let people bring things to Lin Feng, and deliberately wrote a letter to him, don't think that he didn't know her little thoughts, but he was still angry enough.
"She just can't stop making you laugh." He said sorry words, but his eyes were full of pride.
"Since she's not there, I won't bother much. Next time. ”
"Uncle, why don't you let my little sister go over to see you. Come on, to be honest, you really can't really run into it. I sometimes have a hard time finding her. "It's hard to find someone during the day, and I don't know where she's busy. simply let the little sister go to see the uncle by herself, which was regarded as a return gift.
"You kid, this is a change of law, you want to know who I am."
"Uncle, although I don't know your true identity, I have guessed some. After coming to the capital, I have also heard of some deeds, you are the king of one word. Although I don't know why he didn't hide it, but after all, they have no right to intervene in this matter, and besides, there are too many twists and turns in the affairs of the court.
And he will also become a member of this court in the near future, and if you think about it, you can understand the stakes.
Now the court seems to be calm, but who knows what kind of dark tide is surging underneath, fighting each other to the death.
"Hehehe, you can guess, presumably the little girl must not be able to hide it. If you know, then tell her and let her go see me. ”
"Okay. I'll tell her, and it's not for me to guarantee whether she's going or not. ”
"Okay. Play well in the palace test. ”
"I will."
Sent Xue Bing away, and in the evening, after Qiao Xi came back, Qiao Song told her about Xue Bing's visit today, she didn't say to go or not to go, just nodded.
He didn't have much contact with that person, and he wouldn't persuade the little sister to go, it was best to let it be, that place was too high and not suitable for them.
The next day, the people from the Ministry of Rites came to the door, and Qiao Song followed him out for most of the day, and did not come back until the afternoon.
When they sat down to eat together in the evening, Qiao Song talked about the petition: "The punishment of those people before came out. ”
"Oh, I don't know what the result is?" When Qiao Xi heard this, he came to his senses, and he didn't eat anymore, and he had a proper gossip face.
"Except for the main messenger, all the others were banned from taking the exam for two terms, and a few people with serious circumstances were directly deprived of their fame."
"What about the Messenger? Is it Hao Binbin, who is the most stable? ”
Qiao Song sighed, "Well, the initiator of this petition is him, because he took the lead, and directly found out his fraud in the township test, even if he fails this time, he will still be successful sooner or later if he studies hard, but unfortunately, he is too eager to succeed, but he will harm himself." After saying that, there was a look of sarcasm.
"It's a pity, it's a pity, people are doing it, the sky is watching, he can't live if he doesn't do it, just like you said this time, if you don't study hard for a few more years, you can still do it. But some people are just not greedy enough, which leads to such a result. Qiao Xi didn't think he was pitiful, the so-called poor people must be hateful, he didn't know how many candidates he had hurt by this move, however, which candidates were not wronged, who let their own consciousness not be firm enough, they were casually fooled and signed, this time it should be a lesson for them, so that they can use their brains more in the future.
"You're right, it's just that the people who ban the exam are a bit miserable." Several of the main messengers were stripped of their fame, banned from the exam for life, and even imprisoned for two years. I just think it's a bit tragic to be banned from the exam for two terms, two terms are six years, which is definitely a blow to some of the elderly, and no one knows that there will be a change in God for six years.
"Brother, you can't sympathize with them, everything is still their own problem in the final analysis, and it has nothing to do with others." If you are encouraged by someone casually, your brain will have convulsions, and even if such a person enters the officialdom, it will not end well.
"Hey~~ I know what you mean."
"Brother, you see that such a play has been staged before you have entered the officialdom, are you ready to enter the officialdom?" There is no right and wrong in officialdom, it is easy to dodge and difficult to defend against hidden arrows, and the eldest brother is only fifteen years old, can he really be competent in this officialdom?
"Little sister, don't worry, you have told me so much in the past three years, I know what you are worried about? Don't worry, I can. ”
"Are you sure, you must not let me give you an idea."
"Little sister?"
"Okay, okay, you're my brother, I really don't care." It's already come to this point, and it's impossible to quit, she will work hard in the future, watch it more, who made him her brother!
On the fourth day after the release of the results of the palace examination, all the candidates on this day must be taken to the main hall by the Ministry of Rites.
Before it dawned, the entire Qiao family was already lit up, today was the most critical day, and it was also the day that decided life.
In the kitchen, it has long been busy.
When Qiao Song got up, he found that everyone in the family was angry earlier than him, and he smiled helplessly, he knew that this would happen.
"Brother, don't look at it, hurry up and eat something, didn't you say that you have to rush to the Ministry of Rites at the end of the day, don't rub it in." After Qiao Xi put the things on the table, he immediately greeted the eldest brother who was still standing at the door.
"Yes." Looking at the time, it was still too late. So I sat down and ate some.
Qiao Xi sent Qiao Song to the gate, and happened to meet Shen Mingwei who came out of the house, so the two walked together.
Qiao Song and Shen Mingwei carried lanterns, walked through the hall and crossed the fourth street, arrived at the north gate, and after entering the north gate, they walked all the way forward, and then came to the thousand-step corridor, and on both sides of the vermilion palace wall that was more than six meters high, all the central yamen, including the six.
The Ministry of Rites is located outside the East Palace Wall, and the little servants are not allowed to enter the North Gate, Qiao Song and Shen Mingwei took out the tribute certificate and identity document issued by the Ministry of Rites the day before yesterday, and after inspection, they successfully entered the Beizhi Gate, all the way to the Ministry of Rites. At this time, there were already people in the Ministry of Rites organizing and maintaining order, and when Qiao Song and Shen Mingwei arrived, most of them had already come.
When it was time to arrive, no one was late, and all the tributes arrived.
The people of the Ministry of Rites arranged these tributes according to the results of the examination. Qiao Song, a young man who had just turned fifteen, took the lead, attracting the attention of many people.
There was a discussion in the queue that was neither high nor low, and they were all quietly talking about Qiao Song, the demon.
