Pei Xie Tang heard that the accents of these people were not locals, so he turned his head to look.

It turned out to be a group of scholars, all of whom were dressed plainly, simple coarse cloth and plain clothes, but their speech and demeanor were very elegant. Pei Xie Tang heard that the accents of their voices were only similar, and they didn't seem to be from the same place.

At the end of April, the capital has just held an examination, and now the list has not yet been released, and now many scholars in the world have gathered in the capital, waiting for whether they will be able to enter the palace examination after the list is announced. These scholars are also bored to stay in the capital, and it is reasonable to catch up with the Dragon Boat Festival and travel together. Pei Xie Tang saw a line of eight. The nine people all sat down, they brought simple snacks, and began to talk on their own, talking about what they had seen and heard, and it had nothing to do with the imperial examination.

She narrowed her eyes and suddenly hooked the corners of her mouth.

Today, Zhu Xinzhi should really come.

"Chengyin, why didn't the prince come?" As soon as he thought of this person, Xie Yijiang beside him asked with a smile.

These two people are as good as wearing a pair of pants on weekdays, and before going out, he thought that Zhu Xinzhi was going to be with everyone today, and specially instructed Aunt Qiu to prepare more snacks that the prince likes.

Pei Xie Tang said with a smile: "He is busy with official business, and said that after dealing with official business, he will come to us if he has time." ”

"Today is the Dragon Boat Festival, the Manchu Dynasty is resting, and it is not a day to enter the palace to ask for peace, most of the Dragon Boat Festival is also a person, when you go to the palace to invite him to Xie's house, everyone has a reunion dinner together." Xie Yijiang stroked his beard and looked at Pei Xie Tang very kindly: "The wedding date is approaching, you won't be able to meet in a few days, don't be pregnant." ”

"Look at what Daddy said." Pei Xie Tang smiled tactfully: "Can I still hold back?" ”

I haven't seen you for a few days, and you can't die.

Xie Yijiang shook his head, and was about to admire, when he heard Pei Xie Tang say unashamedly: "I'm worried that the prince can't help it." ”

"Nonsense!" Xie Yijiang teased her: "The prince is a humble gentleman, he has always been the most polite, he knows these rules in his heart, and he will not make mistakes in his behavior." Don't ruin the prince's reputation, tired of being pointed at by others, your father and I, I will be satisfied! ”

"Dad, that's not what I said......" Pei Xie Tang surrounded him and tried very hard to persuade: "The so-called slap can't make a sound, there are some things I think, if the prince doesn't agree, I can't do it." Actually, Dad, all along, you have misunderstood the prince. The prince used to have a thief's heart but not a thief's courage, so he had a gentleman's style, and everyone who saw it said that he was restrained. Now, the prince has the heart of a thief and the bear bile, so he can't bear it when he doesn't want to. Dad, I'm a little wronged. ”

"You're still wronged." Xie Yijiang nodded her forehead: "I see, you are the first slippery head in this world." ”

"The prince is." Pei Xie Tang is very persistent.

Xie Yijiang glared at her: "Don't arrange the prince behind your back, if people hear it, it will inevitably be said that you are pampered and arrogant, and you will be punished for talking about the royal family." ”

"Yes, yes. Dad, do you try this? Pei Xie Tang hurriedly brought him one of the pastries.

Xie Yijiang couldn't help her, so he took a bite and completely forgot what he was going to teach just now.

The basket couldn't help but quietly raise its finger behind Xie Yijiang's back.

Now the young lady is very clever in dealing with the master, not only can she coax the old man to laugh, but also make the old man unable to find something to say, she is really gratified!

Pei Xie Tang raised his eyebrows, and as soon as he raised his head, his smile immediately widened: "Ouch, prince, when did you come?" ”

Xie Yijiang hurriedly put down the pastries and got up with the Xie family.

Green locust tree, silver and white flowers, faintly fragrant, Zhu Xinzhi was wearing a moonlight white plain robe, wearing a magnolia hairpin on his head, and wearing Zhu Yu on his waist, and he was holding his hands and looking at Pei Xie Tang with a smile that seemed to be smiling.

"The prince won't say a word when he comes!" Pei Xie Tang pulled his sleeves, and the corners of his eyebrows and eyes were full of joy.

Zhu Xinzhi glanced at her: "When you said that you were afraid that the prince would not be able to bear it, I came." ”

“…… Is it? "Isn't that why she arranged his words, and all of them were listened to by Zhu Xinzhi?

Zhu Xinzhi lowered his head, his eyes seemed to stare her through the hole.

He took a step closer: "A slap doesn't make a sound?" Who was the one who was stalking in my carriage in the first place? ”

"It's me." Pei Xie Tang hurriedly smiled flatteringly: "But later, wasn't the prince reluctant to throw me down?" You're kissing me! ”

"Didn't you still say that I have a thief's heart and no guts?" Zhu Xinzhi's tone was cold: "I don't have the guts, so naturally it is impossible to make a transgressive move against you." ”

Stingy!

Pei Xie Tang rolled his eyes in his heart, and smiled more and more sincerely: "No, no, no, the prince is bold!" ”

"Huh?" Zhu Xinzhi raised his eyebrows, disgusted that she didn't listen to her words.

Pei Xie Tang couldn't care about this anymore, and hugged his arm, sticking like kraft candy: "Yes, yes, the prince is the most polite and duty-observant, it's me!" It's all my audacity! It's all because I'm faceless and skinless! Lord, then you can't blame me, I like you the most, you see, I also picked beautiful flowers for you! ”

As he spoke, his right hand was placed in front of Zhu Xinzhi.

Zhu Xinzhi almost couldn't help laughing.

This man is really very well-behaved, he doesn't have to think about where the flower came from, he doesn't have to think about it - just saw him coming, the fox must be afraid of being questioned, and when he got up, he picked the small flower on his side and hid it in his sleeve.

Is he the one who eats this set?

However......

The hand involuntarily stretched out, picked up the small flower in Pei Xie Tang's hand, and sniffed: "It's not fragrant at all!" ”

As he spoke, he sniffed again.

tone, extremely disgusted!

Pei Xie Tang quietly rolled his eyes again: It's not fragrant, you still smell it twice!

Zhu Xinzhi retracted his hand, raised his hand again, Xiaohua was no longer in his hand, he walked up to Xie Yijiang and bowed his hand respectfully: "Lord Xie, I'm sorry for being late." ”

"There are many nobles and nobles, and it is an honor for the Xie family to come." Xie Yijiang hurriedly returned the salute and asked him to sit down.

Pei Xie Tang hurriedly knelt down and stroked the carpet. touched it flat, and smiled and straightened the corners of his clothes. Seeing that Zhu Xinzhi ignored her, he straightened it with both hands, quietly poked Zhu Xinzhi's legs and feet, and stroked it softly. Touched it a few times. Zhu Xinzhi was in a good mood, and he couldn't hold back his cold face anymore, and held her troublesome hand in his palm.

"Fengqiu, will you go to Xie's house for dinner with me in the evening?" As soon as he sat down, Xie Yijiang gave Pei Xie Tang a look, Pei Xie Tang understood, and hurriedly proposed while it was hot.

Zhu Xinzhi nodded: "Okay." ”

Xie Yijiang breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "The prince came from the mansion today?" After the honey mulberry flowers in the Linshui River bloom, there are many people traveling in this area, and it should be very congested. ”

"There are a lot of people traveling today." Zhu Xinzhi nodded lightly: "I came on foot." ”

"These people next to us are also scholars who have come to catch the exam." Pei Xie Tang whispered in his ear: "Lord Wang, they just talked about you." ”

"Huh?" Zhu Xinzhi was puzzled.

Pei Xie Tang muttered more and more quietly: "Don't worry, it's all a compliment to you." The black-clothed man just now said that if you were to preside over the exam this year, he wouldn't be able to win the election. ”

"The chief examiner of this year's examination is Su Chengyu, a university scholar, and there are eight deputy examiners, headed by Jian Shuzhong, a servant in the province of Menxia, all of whom are first-class and fair, as long as he is talented, he will definitely be able to pass the exam." Zhu Xinzhi glanced back at the crowd north of the locust tree, and didn't forget to say a few words: "Even if I preside, the result may not be satisfactory." ”

Pei Xie Tang didn't speak.

Xie Yijiang heard them talking about the scientific examination, and interjected on the side: "Speaking of which, it seems that there are more people who come to the capital to take the exam this year than in previous years." ”

"This year opened Enko." Zhu Xinzhi bowed: "There are a hundred more." ”

Xie Yijiang sighed: "The scientific examination is always fair, and it is the scholars who are selected layer by layer before they can come to the capital to participate in the examination. But as soon as Enke opened, the children of the family had another way to be promoted, and how many talented scholars would be excluded from the court, and in the long run, there would definitely be a risk of party struggle. ”

"I don't know what my father thinks." Seeing that he was willing to tell the truth, Zhu Xinzhi couldn't help but feel a little closer to Xie Yijiang: "Master Xie, you are the first to openly oppose it. ”

"It's useless to oppose it, and the left and right are also opened," Xie Yijiang shook his head: "I just hope that in three years, this Enke can be changed." ”

"I'm afraid not. The purpose of Kaienke is to stabilize the form of the DPRK and China, avoid the loss of personnel, and the inability of newcomers to help. Now that they are fighting again and again, they are eyeing everywhere, and if the officials of the imperial court have to wait for the scientific examination to enter the office, there will inevitably be many shortcomings in the court, and it is not necessarily a good thing for the country. When Zhu Xinzhi said this, he couldn't help frowning.

Pei Xie Tang nodded: "If there is no Enke, how many children of official families will have to go to the exam, and in the end, someone will have to bribe the examiner, but it will end up in a miasma." ”

"Is it so easy for an examiner to be bribed?" Zhu Xinzhi glanced at her amusedly: "If it's all so easy, wouldn't every scientific examination choose a bunch of mediocre talents?" ”

"It's not easy for the chief examiner to be bribed, but it's easy for the deputy examiner." Pei Xie Tang tilted his head: "Didn't the county lord of Tai'an convict him before, buying and selling officials?" I heard Gao Xingzhi say that everyone said that she operated the scientific examination and bribed the deputy examiner. After the scholar's paper is handed over to the Liberal Arts Hall, it is handed over to the deputy examiner for marking, and as long as the deputy examiner agrees, the selected test paper will be reviewed by the chief examiner. As long as the deputy examiner doesn't pass here, no matter how fair the examiner is, the test paper will not reach him. ”

Zhu Xinzhi was stunned by what she said.

Not only because she mentioned the lord of Tai'an, but also because she mentioned an obvious oversight.

He wanted to convince Pei Xie Tang: "The character and talent of the deputy examiner have all been assessed by the imperial court. ”

"Isn't it also a recommendation?" Pei Xie Tang was even more puzzled: "Who recommended him, whether it is his in-laws, relatives or friends, if he wants to be a leader, can the deputy examiner still disagree?" ”

"This ......" Zhu Xinzhi was speechless.

There was a quiet moment on the Xie family's side, and at this moment, the scholars in the north ushered in three or four more partners.

One of the Tsing Yi scholars sat down and said loudly, "I'm so angry!" The Liberal Arts Museum is too deceitful! Just now I went to ask Lord Hong of the Liberal Arts Hall when the list would be released, but the guards at the door didn't let me go, so I turned my head and let the people of the Meng family in. ”
