The cook of Xufu boiled crab porridge, and the little maid got up early in the morning and brought back a cup and put it on the table.

Xu Yuan was changing his clothes and smelling the fragrance after changing into a few or two and sat down, and saw the white porridge dotted with tempting crab roe, and his spirit was greatly lifted.

The little maid said: "The son couldn't sleep well last night, I'm afraid he has no appetite this morning, so the little one specially ordered the cook to prepare." ”

Xu Yuannan asked, "Did you quarrel?" ”

"The little ones have always slept lightly." Seeing that he was in a hurry, the little guy hugged the soup cup and said while stirring up the heat, "Since the son has been appreciated by the Lord of Futai, the little one has been showing up a few times with the rising tide, but after showing it, I don't think it's interesting......"

Xu Yuan chewed the soft rice and smiled: "What's boring, those people didn't bully you in the past, but now that you have the confidence, even if you bully back, I'll bear it for you." ”

It is said that the upward and downward effects are not false. When Xu Yuan was cowardly and unknown in the past, the little guys around him couldn't wait to put their heads on the ground when they walked, and they were bullied by other powerful villains in the house in private, and often came back with injuries...... It wasn't the same person he saw at all.

The little guy squinted his eyes and smiled: "The sage often says that when you are stable, you should think about the danger, you can't get carried away, and the little one is carrying out the will of the sage." ”

Xu Yuan sneered: "That's called being prepared for danger in times of peace." ”

It's all the same meaning, the little guy listened humbly without arguing, and suddenly remembered something: "The little one met a strange person listening to a book in the teahouse, and kept saying that the eldest prince lied, and the old yellow dog saved by the third lady was actually his family's ......"

Xu Yuan was noncommittal and continued to drink porridge.

The idea of sending the kite was his first risky move, creating the illusion that Xu Heng was rushing upside down, which attracted Ruan Miaoling's attention.

Outsiders say that Miss Ruan Jiasan only knows how to have fun but does not know the world, but they don't know that she is a very shrewd person, and she can see through people's hearts with just one game, Xu Heng wants to play cat and mouse with her, which is very dangerous.

It's a pity that there are 10,000 taels of gold, and I should buy some rouge gouache and hairpins......

Xu Yuan asked, "How did you do with Qingtong?" ”

"The son almost forgot that he didn't ask the little one, Qingtong really died his parents, he wanted to go home with his wife on leave, but who knew that he was beaten by the eldest son as soon as he thought about it, and he was full of injuries, how to go back."

The little guy also took the time to show off to Xu Yuan about the glorious deeds of taking care of Qingtong's family funeral, but when he said it, he began to sigh again and again, "Qingtong's fate is not good, and he was beaten again yesterday." ”

Xu Yuan smiled strangely: "Why don't I beat you to a blue nose and swollen face, hug and cry with him, and then complain to each other?" ”

The little guy actually thought about it seriously, "Childe's idea is good, but it's cool to beat people for a while, and your fists are affected, so it's good to find the sister of the Ruan family's Xifu to put on makeup." ”

Xu Yuan couldn't wait for a five-fingered mountain to suppress the little monkey, he would have turned his heart to the bright moon, but the bright moon shone on the ditch.

"Since you think Qingtong is good, find a way to hook up, no, find a way to pull him in." Xu Yuan hurriedly drank the last bite of crab porridge, and hurried to the mansion without looking back.

"Okay." The little servant sent Xu Yuan outside the door and raised his voice: "Son, come back early." ”

Childe said to hook up, no, it should be to drag Qingtong into the water. The little girl clapped her hands, and realized more and more that since Childe had an illness, the days had become more vivid and interesting.

……

It is difficult for Mrs. He to come to the back hall of the mansion, and she is pouring tea for He Fangnian at the moment, and she is wearing a simple and homely costume with a bit of grace.

"The second and third ladies of the Ruan family are engaged one after another, and we haven't even found our in-laws' house in Mingyue......"

Chang Sui reported outside: "My lord, madam, Second Prince Xu is here." ”

Mrs. He knew that He Fangnian had mentioned her daughter to Xu Yuan, and she had heard that he was a good-looking and characterful person, so she was busy going out to meet him.

Xu Yuan didn't expect to meet Mrs. He today, and was slightly surprised: "My wife is fine." ”

"Good, good." Mrs. He's eyes were bright.

It's really good, but it's a pity that in the future, she will either marry the second miss of the Ruan family or marry the third lady, and she has nothing to do with the He family.

He Fangnian, who rushed over, coaxed his wife into the backyard, "Just take a look, don't take it to heart." Then he called Xu Yuan to the study.

"Next year, Dabi's strategy will come out."

Xu Yuan was stunned, it was normal for Princess Baozhen's subordinates to be quick and fast, but this time it was unexpectedly fast.

The news sent by Jingzhong made He Fangnian have two big heads, and he waved his hands bitterly: "Huitong Bookstore bid, 10,000 taels." ”

10,000 taels is not much, the last time Dabi Huitong Bookstore bid only 12,000 taels, Xu Yuan said with a smile: "In previous years, there were people who bought low and sold high in the Parliament Tongshufang, but this time it was 2,000 taels cheaper, which is very fair." ”

"Gold." He Fangnian repeated, "They bid 10,000 taels of gold. ”

The question with a price tag of 12,000 taels of silver is too expensive, and now at the price of gold, a fool will buy it.

He Fangnian clasped his hands and knocked on the table: "The ones who can buy questions are nothing more than some rich people who don't burn incense and sharpen guns on weekdays. It is better to win fame with real materials, and not to deceive the world. ”

"The teacher's words are only half right, which protégé of the Son of Heaven in all dynasties does not have two drops of ink in his stomach, and the person who ranks in the top three in the written test jumps into the palace to try the first class, all in the word 'luck'."

Good looks, a good name, and even a great age can be a person's luck.

"You ...... picture" He Fangnian's face turned into sauce, he couldn't criticize the student for speaking incorrectly, who let there be a living example here, and he couldn't praise the student for speaking right, he fell from the first to the third only because of luck.

"It's a pity," He Fangnian seemed to be saying to himself: "Lord Xu is in the Ministry of Rites, and it's not difficult to do a set of questions......

Xu Yuan smiled, "Teacher, it violates the law of the country, not to mention that the Ministry of Rites can't take out 10,000 taels of real gold." ”

"No one else has it in the Ministry of Rites, so I borrowed it and then paid it back, I don't believe that those stinky fart officials in the Ministry of Rites will want to know what kind of argument will be held by the bookstore."

……

That Mr. Xu sent a letter from the capital, indicating the sky-high price given by the Huitong Bookstore, and he also wrote a few pages of paper to comfort him from the heart, hoping that his eldest son would be a good student.

In fact, the meaning is very simple, Dad doesn't have the money to buy you questions, but Dad believes in your strength, you can do it.

Xu Heng sneered at it, so he lit a candle and burned the letter clean, "If I am 100% sure, why should I accept the policy topic sent by Lord Futai?" ”

I want the horses to run, and I want the horses not to eat grass, and the abacus is really loud.

Xu Heng called Qingtong in: "Go and cash out the 10,000 taels of gold that Miss Ruan San gave me last time, and send it to the Ministry of Rites to the old guy." ”

Qingtong only agreed, and was worried that Xu Heng would be angry when he saw him crying and mourning, so he tried his best to squeeze out a smile.

Out of the courtyard gate, Qingtong saw a green shadow waving to him in the distance, and hurriedly ran to see that it was the little guy next to the second son.

"It's you, is there something wrong?" Qingtong knew that the second son was now on an errand in the government, and he was very respectful with his attitude towards the little guy.

The little guy stretched out his hand and patted him on the shoulder, and Qingtong immediately gasped and slapped the little guy's hand away.

"Ah, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I forgot that you were seriously injured."

Qingtong subconsciously looked at the gate of the courtyard and said in a low voice: "I'm not injured......"

He refused to admit it, and the little guy didn't take him seriously, and asked: "The eldest prince asked you to run errands again?" ”

Qingtong Mu nodded: "Childe asked me to discount the gold given by the third lady and send it to the master." ”

"It turns out that the master has had such a miserable life in the Ministry of Rites." The little guy let out a long sigh.

Qingtong looked puzzled, when did he say this?

"They all stretched out their hands to ask for money...... You must be hungry. ”
