Chapter Seventy-Three: A Book of Clever Things

"The gold list is fake!"

"What?" Hearing the five words spoken by the emperor, Han Ai was not calm in an instant.

"Uncle Huang! How can this gold list be fake? This is public to the world! Han Ai felt that the emperor was comforting him, and he was skeptical.

"This royal test is greasy!" The emperor said softly, and glanced at Xu Shangao meaningfully.

"Greasy?" Han Ai shook his head, "Uncle Huang, how can my grandfather and my father be in charge of the imperial test?" ”

"Could it be the recent rumors of the Imperial Test?" Xu Shangao asked.

"No, it won't! My grandfather and father would never do such a thing," Han Ai shouted at Xu Shan.

"Brother Han, I didn't mean that, don't get me wrong" Xu Shangao saw that the other party resisted this statement and hurriedly explained, "Actually, the day before the imperial exam, I met a person, dressed as a half-immortal, like a name teller, he once sold me exam questions, and after I rejected him, he turned around and left one." ”

"Did you see? Is it consistent with the questions in the Royal Exam? Han Ai hurriedly asked.

"The three-day question is basically the same, and... Add money... Answer sheets can be purchased! Xu Shangao said it all.

"No, it won't! No, it won't! It must be a coincidence! Han Ai looked at the emperor with pleading eyes.

"Ai'er, don't get excited, Uncle Huang left the palace today, originally to hear the candidates' opinions on the imperial examination, and Uncle Huang naturally trusts the teacher, his old man will never do such a thing!" The emperor said and patted the back of Han Ai's hand to comfort him.

"How so? I'd rather my skills are not as good as others~" Han Ai was a little hesitant, in the past few days with Xu Shangao, he could see that the other party was a righteous gentleman, and he would never make up a story about leaking questions, and even the emperor said that the imperial test was boring.

On the other side, Hongxia came to a room with Sheng Linyun on her back, and Xu Jiangyuan was already in the house, with her back to Hongxia who entered the door.

"Ah~sir!" Hongxia was startled at first, but Xu Jiangyuan's dress was instantly recognized.

"The yellow-clothed scholar who came with him, if you come again in the future, you will receive him personally, don't let him wander around!" Xu Jiangyuan said in a commanding tone, but it was obviously deliberately serious, and it seemed that he didn't often deal with his subordinates.

"Yes~My lord, who are you that scholar?" Hongxia asked curiously.

"Don't ask so much!"

"Ahh Could it be a hunted prince? ”

“…”

Hongxia's self-care deliberation was heard by Xu Jiangyuan, and it was also helpless to be the curiosity of this girl.

"Anyway, it's about the same, take good care of it in the future," Xu Jiangyuan said, preparing to leave through the window.

"Don't you look at this?" Hongxia asked, pointing to Sheng Linyun on the bed.

"It's hard to think about it in the future, if you don't look at it, you can't watch it!" Xu Jiangyuan jumped out of the window, only to hear the laughter of passers-by downstairs.

"Heh~ I was found by my wife again! Oops! Don't take my oranges..."

"Knock knock!" Mei Niang knocked on the door outside the local number room and came in with tea in person.

"The concubine doesn't know what you like to drink, what you don't like to drink, you have to pick and choose a few of them" Mei Niang said and leaned forward on the tea table, facing the emperor in front of her, and facing the door behind her, slightly lifting her hips and posing in a bewitching posture, Han Ai thought she was acting coquettish again, the emperor didn't think so, but just thought that this boss lady was quite tasteful and smiled.

At this moment, a young man walked outside the door, as if he saw something, the man retreated back, and was about to enter the door, when he was stopped and pushed by the white guard.

When the emperor saw it, he coughed and signaled to the white guards not to cause trouble, so the passing boy brother didn't care about the emperor and the three of them, walked into the local room by himself, and patted Mei Niang's ass lightly, "Hey~ Why don't you see you entertaining me in person~"

Mei Niang held the table with her right hand, stood up shyly, and lightly tapped the man's chest with her index finger, "I hate it~ Eating my sister's tofu is more cost-effective than my sister's hospitality~ This is someone else's guest room, shouldn't my son come in!" ”

"Yo yo yo yo~" Brother Gongzi watched Mei Niang's index finger scratch his body, and his head followed the residual fragrance of his fingers like Wang Ba swallowing, sniffed on Mei Niang's body from time to time, and was pushed away by Mei Niang Jiao, "I hate it, my snort makes people itch." ”

"Haha! Childe, I have been covered for seven days, just a few days, I will give money, let them go out, can you entertain me~" Brother Gongzi looked at Mei Niang lewdly and ignored Han Ai's fierce gaze.

"Hey! I said you, do you know the rules, this is our room! Han Ai stood up and pushed Brother Gongzi.

Xu Shangao seemed to recognize this person, and his eyebrows curled, "Isn't this the road rage?" What's it called? Blame yourself for never remembering the name of the scumbag! He shook his head with a smile and was about to get up when he was held down by the emperor.

"Huh? Who should I be? Why are you an old man? Last time, I was domineering, and this time I dominated the girls I fancied! "The clamoring son-in-law is Dong Yu's nephew who provoked the emperor outside Mingyue Academy half a month ago - Qian Hongenvelope.

"Mr. Qian, you've been playing for seven days, just give them this place, and besides, can you still play?" Mei Niang said and walked around behind Qian Hongbao and pinched his shoulder.

"Ah~" Qian Hongbao let out a lewd gasp, "If sister, you serve in person, don't say seven days, let's take off and refine a pill in another seven seven or forty-nine days," Qian Hongbao said and quickly turned around to hug Mei Niang, but Mei Niang skillfully avoided it.

"Naughty ~ naughty ~ but I like it," Qian Hongbao said and threw a few winks.

"Ouch~ Brother Childe, go out with me, don't disturb the guest's Yaxing, I still have to open this store!" Mei Niang said and took Qian Hongen's hand out of the room, and Qian Hongbao followed out with a lewd look, "Listen to my sister~"

"Just looking at his face, I really can't tell that he is a sound idiot, but he can actually play it in this Bangxia Pavilion for seven days!" Xu Shangao was surprised.

"Bomb what?" Han Ai didn't understand what Xu Shangao meant.

"Jean! Will the Brotherhood of Han? ”

"Oh! I haven't been in love..."Han Ai waved his hand.

At this time, the emperor was closing his eyes, thinking about the words of the money red envelope, 'Seven days!' Seven days! stayed in the brothel for seven days, and the top three on the gold list actually wrote his name, creating and making people, if you don't come out for a walk, I really don't know that there is such a coincidence in the world to bump into me! ’

"Uncle Huang, what's wrong with you?" Han Ai looked at the emperor sometimes frowning, sometimes showing a strange smile on the corner of his mouth, very worried.

"It's nothing, there's really anyone out there! Hehe" the emperor smiled, not at all able to see that his heart was actually angry.

"Three days later, I am going to hold a banquet in the palace to entertain the imperial examination students from all directions, and it is estimated that the holy decree has been issued at this time, and the imperial list will be posted immediately." The emperor sighed as he spoke, afraid in his heart, if the students knew the inside story of this imperial test, they would still pile up the court and hold on to hope, and in a hurry, they actually forgot about the consequences.

"Your Majesty! Do you have any concerns that you can ask your students to worry about? Xu Shangao saw the emperor's melancholy, although he was not a minister, since the emperor could afford to look at himself, he still asked.

"Mountain high! Remember that guy just now? The Emperor asked.

"Hmmm! That day, he learned his arrogance outside Mingyue Academy, but he forgot his name. ”

"I'll give you some hints... 3rd on the Gold List! ”

"Third on the gold list?" Xu Shangao and Han Ai pondered softly, and suddenly almost their colleagues shouted "Qian Hongenvelope!! ”

"You two have good memories! It's money red envelopes! The emperor nodded and took a deep breath.

"But... But just listening to him, he lived in this Bangxia Pavilion for seven days, how did he get the name of this Tanhua? Han Ai stood up excitedly, while Xu Shangao waited for the emperor with an expressionless face, understanding that he still had something to say.

"This! It's the cat that Uncle Huang discovered! The Emperor tapped his fan on the table as he spoke.

Han Ai sat down decadently, holding his head, "What the hell is going on?" ”

"Elle! Don't worry, your grandfather will never do anything wrong, and Uncle Huang will give him justice! Three days later, let's change the test method! The Emperor smiled meaningfully.

"It's time for the widow to go back to the palace, and the two of you should also go back and prepare, maybe you can turn things around in three days!" The emperor stood up and patted Han Ai, and somewhat understood why Han Wen chose not to serve as an official in his life, "Ai'er, be responsible for yourself and your family, don't go your own way!" ”

"Elle has written it down" Han Ai nodded, her face not very good.

Out of the room, Xu Shangao thought that he should go to see Sheng Linyun, so after saying goodbye to the emperor, he followed Mei Niang to Sheng Linyun's room.

The emperor and Han Ai walked out of the Bangxia Pavilion.

"Elle! What do you think of these two friends of yours? The Emperor asked.

"Sheng Linyun! It gives me the feeling that it is like a caryophyllus in the green mountains and broken rocks, he will become stronger and stronger in the future, and Xu Jiangyuan's words, Ai'er is a little unable to see clearly, at first glance it looks like a willow pendulum in the wind, but he doesn't want the willow leaves to sway with the wind..."Han Ai said and frowned.

"Like Yun Song?" The Emperor asked.

"Yun Song? Not arrogant or impatient, chic and vigorous, it seems to be a bit similar, but there is one point, he is very nosy, and the pine trees that often accompany the hermit are really not on the side..."

"Han Ai !!" A scolding came from the side of the street, interrupting the conversation between the emperor and Han Ai, Han Ai looked at it, it really made him break out in a cold sweat, and his hands and feet began to be numb and unable to move.

"Master... Grandfather! ”

I saw Han Wen sitting in a sedan chair, his face was red and his neck was thick, he was blowing his beard and staring at Han Ai, and his father who was walking was even more affectionate and indifferent, and there was actually a trace of hatred.

'Oh my God! It's over, my grandfather saw me and the emperor visiting the brothel, and I guess I won't be buried in the ancestral grave when I die! Han Ai thought like this, almost on the verge of collapse.

The emperor immediately stepped forward, Han Wen saw that the person talking to Han Ai was actually the emperor, and he didn't have time to wait for someone to help, so he almost got out of the sedan chair on his stomach, and everyone was about to kneel, and was shouted by the emperor "Get up!" Don't reveal your identity! ”

"Why is the emperor here!" Han Wen was supported by the emperor and glared at Han Ai.

"Oh! These days, the widow is worried about the widow, so he went to the street to see the state of the students, and just happened to meet Elle and his friend, so he followed him here to play, teacher, you see, the widow is about to go back! The Emperor patiently explained.

Hearing the emperor's explanation, Han Wen was even more angry, especially concerned about the four words 'follow Ai'er', and I didn't know whether the emperor was intentional or not, Han Ai almost didn't stand firm, and when he saw Han Que's eyes, he lowered his head and walked to the edge of the sedan chair.

"Teacher, I'm fortunate to be miserable these days, go back and rest first" The emperor helped Han Wen back to the sedan chair.

"Your Majesty, this year's palace exam is very grand, and when the time comes..."Han Wen estimated that he had already seen the imperial list, and wanted to show that he was not tired and was willing to participate in the palace exam in three days.

"Hmm... Good! The emperor was a little reluctant to let Han Wen participate, because he had a hunch that something would happen, but he still agreed, "The widow would have come to pick up the teacher, don't worry!" ”

"Elle! Then Uncle Huang left first! After speaking, the emperor walked in the direction of the palace, and stopped after a few steps: "Oops! As he spoke, he knocked on his forehead, "I said the wrong thing, Elle is in trouble!" Forehead... Compensate him next time! ”
