After the examination, there was another batch of newcomers in the DPRK and China. Needless to say, the first three people went directly to the Hanlin Academy to join the company. The second-class jinshi still needs to take another round of exams, and those who pass the examination will be admitted to the Hanlin Academy, otherwise they can only be released.

In the past two days, the eyes of the courtiers have also focused on these new scholars, and they love to talk about it in their free time, so-and-so will have a future in the future, and so-and-so will be beautiful at the moment but will definitely be powerless.

Among them, there is a man named Shao Qing who is particularly conspicuous, in terms of ranking, he only won thirty-six, which is not particularly outstanding. However, just two days ago, the Wei family accepted the Shao family's dowry.

has become a family member with the Wei family, and his career in the future will not be smooth? It is also very possible that he will join the cabinet in the future.

Being an official in the court is like this, it's not enough for you to have strength, you have to have a strong background, otherwise you can only hope to come out hard.

Zhao Yuanhong heard his colleagues talking about Shao Qing in the military department, and he didn't care about it, but when he heard them say, "I heard that Miss Wei is a stunning beauty, this Shao Qing not only got a father-in-law who was the first assistant, but also earned a beautiful girl, which is really enviable", Zhao Yuanhong's face changed suddenly.

If you don't pay attention, your wrist fell, the tip of the pen rubbed against the paper, and a circle of black ink came out, and a good document was ruined.

Zhao Yuanhong came back to his senses after a while, lowered his head, looked at the ink on the paper and frowned.

He threw the paper into a clump and threw it into a nearby basket.

"Shao Qing......" The young man's voice was a little hoarse, and he paused and spoke again: "Married to the Wei family?" ”

When the people heard him speak, they looked at him in amazement. Zhao Yuanhong was born noble, they didn't dare to approach casually, and Zhao Yuanhong didn't like to talk, so everyone rarely communicated except for work.

"Yes, doesn't Director Zhao know? Shao Qing went to Wei's house for dinner today. ”

The young man frowned again and asked coldly, "When?" ”

"Right now, people should still be in the Wei family."

The young man nodded, re-picked up the pen and dipped it in ink, wrote a column of words, folded it and put it in an envelope and handed it to his colleagues, and said lightly: "Trouble you, help me hand over a leave letter, I have something to go home." ”

"Oh, good, okay." The colleague took the envelope in confusion.

*

Shao Qing went to the Wei family's banquet as promised.

Yue Wanzhou liked Shao Qing very much, opened a large table of food, and greeted Shao Qing with warmth. asked him what he was not comfortable with in the capital, whether he was used to doing things in the Hanlin Academy, and asked him how his father and mother were doing. After chatting for a long time, the dishes were all laid out one after another, and Wei Tinglan didn't come out.

Yue Wanzhou had to ask someone to call her.

When the maid found Wei Tinglan, she was curled up on the kang with her hair scattered, working with a needle and thread in her hand, and her plain white face was cold.

"Why hasn't the girl made up yet?" The maid was surprised.

Madame had already sent someone to remind the girl that she was looking better, so as to leave a good impression on Shao Gongzi, why did the girl look like this?

The maid was embarrassed: "Come down, girl, the slave and maid will comb the girl's hair, and the lady will be to blame." ”

Wei Tinglan was impatient: "Let's just say that I'm not feeling well, but I can't go." ”

"How does this work?" The maid looked at Wei Tinglan pleadingly: "The slave doesn't dare to go back to Mrs. like this, why don't the girl go and say it herself?" ”

Wei Tinglan raised her eyes and glanced at her, "If you don't go, you won't go." After speaking, he turned inward, and his nose was sore.

She doesn't want to see any Shao Gongzi!

The maid had no choice but to return truthfully to the later boat. Yue Wanzhou was very embarrassed, got up and smiled at Shao Qing and said, "Shao Gongzi sit, I'll come if I have something to do." ”

The later the boat came to Wei Tinglan's house, and when she saw her daughter's lazy appearance, she couldn't help but be angry, and sat down on the edge of the kang with her anger, and asked, "Lan'er, are you having a temper with your mother?" ”

Wei Tinglan shook her head, and her voice was muffled: "No." ”

"Why is that? There is always a reason for everything, if you can say that your mother is convinced, your mother will not force you to meet with Shao Gongzi. "Although Yue Wanzhou is angry, after all, he is from a family of etiquette and has excellent cultivation.

Wei Tinglan raised her head slowly, and asked again, "Really?" ”

"When did my mother lie to you?"

Wei Tinglan lowered her head again, and after a long while, she said, "Mother, I already have someone I like, so I can't marry Shao Gongzi." ”

Yue Wanzhou was shocked.

In her impression, her daughter has always been well-behaved and polite, and her private life is the work of those uneducated girls from small families, when did her daughter learn badly?

"Who is it?"

Wei Tinglan's cheeks were dyed with a thin layer of crimson, and she snorted, "Yes, it's Brother Yuanhong." ”

After speaking, Wei Tinglan picked up the soft pillow and put it on her knees, burying her face.

Oops, no face!

Yue Wanzhou heard the words "Brother Yuanhong", and was both surprised and had a feeling of expectation.

There are only a few boys that Tinglan has been in contact with since she was a child, except for her cousin and cousin, there are only two sons of the Yuwang family. Yue Wanzhou usually looks at the two of them very well, and it is definitely not those frivolous and prodigal anointed children, how can they hook her daughter to learn badly!

Yue Wanzhou's expression was complicated: "Lan'er, you listen to your mother, if Zhao Yuanhong is interested in you, how can he not come to the door to ask for marriage?" It's been a few days since our family received the Shao family's dowry, why hasn't he moved at all? ”

The flush on Wei Tinglan's face faded, and she turned pale in an instant.

My mother is right, if Brother Yuanhong really likes her, how can he not react?

"Did he say he wanted to marry you?" The later the boat asked.

Wei Tinglan was extremely depressed and shook her head.

Yue Wanzhou sighed, thinking that her daughter was really stupid, she was deceived and so infatuated, Zhao Yuanhong was that bastard, although she couldn't teach him a lesson, she had to tell Princess Yu to discipline him well.

"Isn't that all there is to it? He didn't say he wanted to marry you, and when he heard that the Shao family married our family, there was no movement, what do you still expect? Lan'er is obedient, Yuwangfu is not our family's high-climbing. Although your father is now the first assistant, he is also doing things with Queen Yu, and he has no authority in his hands. Shao Qing's identity is not as noble as Zhao Yuanhong, but he will be good to you in a down-to-earth manner. ”

Wei Tinglan was persuaded by Yue Wanzhou like this, and she cried sadly. Yue Wanzhou was next to her, and when Wei Tinglan finished crying, she personally helped her daughter cover her crying red eyes with powder, and dressed up and went to the front.

Wei Tinglan felt that she was really delusional, why did she think that Brother Yuan Hong would take a fancy to her? If it's not Brother Yuan Hong, it doesn't matter who it is.

Shao Qing or Shao Xun, whatever.

Wei Tinglan was a little self-defeating.

When the mother and daughter arrived, the meal had been served for a long time, but fortunately, Wei Xiang had been greeting Shao Qing, so Shao Qing didn't notice anything wrong. When Shao Qing first entered the officialdom, he wanted to ask his seniors for advice on many things, and he was very excited to chat with Wei Xiang.

When he saw Wei Tinglan, Shao Qing's eyes lit up.

It's beautiful.

Although it doesn't look very pleasant, it does look very iconic as rumored. Shao Qing stood up nervously, swallowed his saliva and asked, "This is Sister Tinglan?" ”

Wei Tinglan: Who is your sister?

She didn't speak, and Yue Wanzhou answered for her: "It's the little girl, Shao Gongzi sit down, hungry, right?" Let's hurry up. ”

There were four people at the banquet, Wei Xiang, Yue Wanzhou, Wei Tinglan and Shao Qing. The two children sat directly opposite, and Wei Tinglan could feel the sticky gaze cast on the opposite side without looking at Shao Qing.

She felt that Shao Qing was so disgusting.

Shao Qing looks white and clean, looks polite, and has a bookish atmosphere, at first glance, he is from a scholarly family, and he can't match disgusting. But Wei Tinglan has a prejudice against him, so even if he doesn't do anything, she feels disgusted.

After eating half a meal, Shao Qing felt a little bottomless in his heart: Is this Wei girl shy or doesn't like him? Why didn't you even give him a look the whole time.

At this moment, suddenly a little guy hurriedly ran over to send a message to Wei Xiang, Wei Xiang listened to his expression a little strange, and said a word to the little guy, and the little guy left again. The later the boat wondered what was going on, and asked the maid to ask.

"Mrs. Hui, Zhao Yuanhong's son asked to see him, and the master let him in." The maid whispered to Yue Wanzhou.

Yue Wanzhou was stunned.

No way?

This...... If it weren't a coincidence, could it be that Zhao Yuanhong came to smash the field for Tinglan?

The later the boat meal, I didn't have the heart to eat, and I waited anxiously. After a while, I saw Zhao Yuanhong come in and greeted them with a smile.

"I've seen Uncle Wei and Aunt Yue."

The later the boat laughs, it is worse than crying.

Wei Xiang didn't know what to do, so he only asked Zhao Yuanhong to find him something, and asked: "Yuanhong, if your matter is not urgent, let's talk about it later." Have you eaten? If you don't eat, sit down and eat together. ”

Shao Qing looked at Zhao Yuanhong in a daze, and was as excited as an idol when he saw it.

This is Zhao Yuanhong? When he was fourteen years old, he and his brother Zhao Yuanyi defeated Zhao Yuanhong of the Heshuo Special Department? Sure enough, the style of this whole body is different!

Shao Qing stood up and greeted nervously: "Zhao Gongzi, I have admired the name for a long time." I am Shao Qing, the second-class jinshi of this year. I didn't expect to see Zhao Gongzi here, which is really Shao's luck. ”

Zhao Yuanhong glanced at him coldly, and the corners of his mouth curved into a strange arc, "Fortunately." ”

Shao Qing: "...... "What did he, today, do wrong?"

The maid brought the chair, which was originally going to be brought between Wei Xiang and Shao Qing, but Zhao Yuanhong pointed to the seat between Wei Xiang and Wei Tinglan and said, "That's it." ”

The maid obediently put down the chair, and Zhao Yuanhong sat down, "I'm bothered." ”

"It's fine." Wei Xiang laughed and patted Zhao Yuanhong on the back, "Eat, come, pour a glass of wine for Yuanhong." ”

Wei Tinglan's mind was already completely messed up.

When Zhao Yuanhong first appeared, she was shocked, blood rushed up her head, and she was dizzy with happiness.

Brother Yuanhong is really here!

She couldn't suppress her joy, and her eyes stared at Zhao Yuanhong eagerly, hoping that he could say something shocking to confirm the relationship between them. However, after waiting for a long time, he only greeted the people present, except for her, and then sat down and ate?

Wei Tinglan's mood fluctuated and she was extremely aggrieved. If he just came to talk to his father, then he might as well not come!
