Gui Cao said a word, and the academic officials on the side were suddenly in an uproar, and someone said in fear: "The following officials are foolish, Yang Tongzhi's article and Xu Qian's article are not compatible, why did you choose Xu Qian?" ”

Gui Cao glanced at the scholar almost sympathetically and pitifully, and said with a calm face: "Yang Tongzhi and Xu Qian's articles have their own ups and downs. However, the pattern of the two is very different, Yang Tongzhi is inevitably petty, while Xu Qian's article is far-reaching and better. ”

The scholars looked at each other and stopped persuading.

Gui Cao said again: "The list should be sent out immediately, the list will be listed today, and the list will be released tomorrow!" ”

"Ah...... "The scholars really can't understand this Lord Gui, it stands to reason that even if the results are out, the list is not in a hurry, but this adult seems to be in a hurry, which is very inconsistent with his usual style.

Gui Cao was finally tired, he knocked on the case, and said, "Let's stop here today, tomorrow morning, all the princes, please be early." With that, Gui Cao got up and returned to the back office.

But said that in the back office, Gui Cao was not in a hurry to sleep, he sat in the hall and let the people waiting for him pour tea up, and when he took a sip of fragrant tea, his spirit couldn't help but perk, a pair of deep eyes were uncertain, and he was still thinking about Fang Cai's article in his mind.

At this moment, a beautiful voice came from outside, and this voice said, "Isn't my brother asleep yet?" ”

Gui Cao came back to his senses, leaned his elbows on a few cases and said, "Come in." ”

In the darkness, a graceful body walked into the hall, and it was a woman who came in, double ten years old, with a delicate complexion like snow, willow eyebrows and a pretty nose, and the eyebrows were somewhat similar to Gui Cao, especially the cold expression, as if carved out of a mold.

The woman came in, glanced at Gui Cao, and said, "It's just a hospital exam, why is my brother so depressed?" ”

Gui Cao glanced at the woman deeply, and read: "The Son of Heaven must have a father, and the princes must have brothers. ”

The woman was shocked and said, "Brother......"

Gui Cao sneered: "This is written by a student named Xu Qian in the college examination, do you say it's terrible?" ”

The woman said calmly: "Brother is serving as a student this time, isn't it for such an article?" She then frowned slightly and said, "It's just...... After all, the college exam is a small exam, and it will not attract attention if it is not the rural exam, brother...... I'm just afraid ......"

Gui Cao glanced at the woman deeply, and said: "If it is someone else, you can also press it, after all, it is only a provincial test, and the impact will not be too great, and the township test will be interesting, but you know, who is the person who did this article?" ”

The woman said, "Please show me, brother." ”

A glimmer of light flashed in Gui Cao's eyes, and he said excitedly: "It's Gong Xie's protégé." ”

"Is that Xu Qian? I had heard of his name for a long time, and he had already noticed ...... such a sentence in this examination paper, and the woman frowned, looking a little worried.

Gui Cao said: "Whether he is unintentional or intentional, at least his article is useful to us." After waiting for my brother for so many years, I have been dormant until now, and it is finally time to see the light of day. He looked calm and continued: "Your eldest brother is in the Hanlin Courtyard, observing the movements in the palace and the court at any time, he has written a few days ago, saying that there are important people in the palace who have arrived in Nanjing, and now the time and place are favorable and the people are on our side today, so ...... simply opened the eyes of the cabinet, third sister, you have worked hard these days. ”

The woman's face was calm, and she said: "It's useless to say this, but my brother has the intention of replacing the cabinet, but he must also be prepared for the cabinet to suppress it." ”

Gui Cao closed his eyes and made up his mind: "It has been suppressed for so many years, what you have for your brother is patience, you wait and see, stomp your feet for your brother, the world should be shocked." ”

The woman smiled: "As for that Xu Qian, I would like to know whether he deliberately did what he liked or was advised by Xie Qian, Xiaomei feels that this person is not simple." ”

Gui Cao said indifferently: "He is simple or not has nothing to do with us, if he deliberately wrote this article, he would have used his brother, but his brother also used him, all living beings in the world, from the princes to the common people, as long as they plan well, everyone can use it, but ...... Since you say this, you want to find an opportunity to sit down with him and talk to him. ”

The night passed, Xu Qian got up early the next morning, but Zhao Mengting cowered in the house and didn't come out, Xu Qian was hungry, since he had Zhao Mengting, he had always opened his mouth for food, but now no one took care of him all of a sudden, and he was suddenly very unaccustomed, so he had to deliberately say loudly in the yard: "Hungry me, hungry ...... me"

Zhao Mengting's bedroom

There was still no movement, Xu Qian was guessing in her heart whether she was still angry or because she was too shy to come out, so she sighed in her heart and said to herself: "The gentleman is far away from cooking, don't you want me to cook today?" That's it, I'm not a gentleman anyway, and it will always be useful to learn one more craft in the future. ”

So he hurriedly went to the noodles, put the two bowls of hot noodles in the hall, and went to the bedroom to call Zhao Mengting, and said: "Come out to eat noodles, Xu Shengyuan will produce it, it must be a high-quality product, and I guarantee that I can't find it with a lantern." ”

After a while, Zhao Mengting finally came out reluctantly, she almost didn't look at Xu Qian, but Xu Qian's bottom made her a little stunned, the two sat silently on the table and raised their chopsticks, she didn't say a word, Xu Qian had to keep her mouth shut, one bite of the stomach, Zhao Mengting frowned, in fact, Xu Qian had already frowned, and she just wanted to spit out the things in her mouth.

"Hey......" Zhao Mengting sighed softly, glanced at Xu Qian, and said, "You don't have to eat anymore, I'll go down there else." ”

Xu Qian was ashamed, and then he was excited again, and said, "I'm used to eating your noodles, do you want to help the cook?" Yes...... Don't get me wrong, I'm just trying to get along. ”

Although Zhao Mengting wanted to pull her face and not speak, she finally couldn't hold back and said, "You can read the book." ”

After that, Zhao Mengting hurriedly ran to the bottom of the kitchen, which made Xu Qian embarrassed for a while, and Xu Qian thought to himself: "Is she avoiding me?" Ay...... It seems that he has become a living member, but he has become more hated. ”

At this moment, Deng Jianxing hurriedly came to the door and shouted: "The Tixue Yamen has put a notice, saying that the list will be released at noon, Brother Xu, let's go and see it together." ”

When Xu Qian heard this, he immediately felt excited, he was thinking in his heart, why did the list be released so quickly this time, what is the reason for this? He was about to go out with Deng Jian, but then after thinking about it, he calmed down again, sat down steadily, and said, "Brother Deng, you are in love." ”

Deng Jianhu said with a blushing face: "What does this mean?" ”

Xu Qian elegantly served the cold tea on the table overnight and pretended to drink it, like a celebrity with a high wind and bright festival, and said: "It's not interesting, it's just fame, do you think I like it?" It is a blessing to pass the exam, and if you don't pass the exam, it is also fate, and it is good to have fame in the body, but there is no ...... It doesn't matter, the most important thing in reading is to understand the teachings of the saints, don't you hear the saying that you can die at night? You have to go and see it yourself, but I won't go. ”

He seemed to be afraid that Deng Jian would not understand, so he quoted the scriptures and classics, and clapped his hands and said: "The scholars of the ancients are themselves, the scholars of today are people, I am a gentleman, not a villain, and fame and fortune are all in vain." ”

Deng Jian was confused when he heard it, so he had to leave a sentence: "Sour Xiucai!" "Fei also looked at the list.

Xu Qian complained bitterly in his heart, he actually didn't want to pretend, but now he was helpless, he used to pretend to be too powerful, the www.biquge.info of the pen fun pavilion was too high, and he was a talent, and he was the first in the county test and the government test, and now he had a fight with Yang Tong, which attracted the attention of people all over Hangzhou, what he was worried about was that if he ran to see the list in a hurry, and then he really responded to Gui Cao's words, wouldn't it be a loss of face?

Just in case, you have to hold it, otherwise your face will be hotly sore when the time comes.

When Zhao Mengting came down, she brought the hot noodles to the table, and asked, "I heard Brother Deng's voice just now, saying that it was a list, why didn't Childe go to see it?" ”

Xu Qian said solemnly: "What's so good-looking?" It's just an exam, I don't care at all, how can a scholar be happy and angry for fame and fortune? I don't want to hear this kind of nonsense. ”

Zhao Mengting glanced at him disapprehantly, with an expression that had already seen through his thoughts, but there was a faint smile on her lips, as if the awkward atmosphere between the two had disappeared, just a touch of familiar warmth.

The two raised their chopsticks to eat noodles, and after half an hour, they heard Deng Jian's shouting outside: "Brother Xu, you are in high school, you are in high school, the college exam has released the literature list, Brother Xu is the first in the high school college exam, and he is the first among all living beings." ”

Xu Qian's face hung in the air, and the whole person was involuntarily frozen.

Immediately, he slammed his chopsticks on the ground, slapped the table with his hand, and laughed wildly: "Hahahaha...... I didn't expect that I, Xu Qian, also have today, haha...... Mengting, did you hear that? I'm in! It's still a first-class endowment......"
