Since the article was released, Xu Qian rarely went out. Hongxiu sent someone to invite him a few times, and his heart moved slightly, but in the end, he still tried his best to hold back and was determined to rein in. It is difficult for him not to pay attention to it, he is a very controversial figure, and the attitude of the local scholars towards him is either to stay away from him, or to look down on him from the heart.

And this is something that Xu Qian can't change, no one can change his background, compared with those families who have countless rich resources, and are linked by guò marriage and teacher-student relationship, although Xu Qian has a fame, he still can't get rid of the stain of 'after cheap service'.

Sometimes Xu Qian couldn't help but sigh, others can integrate into the scholars and mingle with them, why is he an outsider, in fact, he knows that as long as he lowers his posture and praises other people's stinky feet, most of them can still be among them.

It's just that if you really do this, is Xu Qian still Xu Qian?

It is precisely because of this contradiction that Xu Qian's current embarrassing situation has been created, obviously his articles and poems are circulating outside, and it is clear that he is an endowment student of Xiao Sanyuan, but he is a good man, and he can't enjoy the treatment of a talented person at all.

He was determined to calm down and study well, after all, there was a township test after the college exam, and there was a township exam and a general exam, Xu Qian was a little within reach of the goal he really desired, but in a sense it was a little too far away.

Early in the morning of this day, Xu Qian took the book to the courtyard to read aloud, in fact, he was able to memorize the content of the book backwards, and read it aloud in the early morning, but it was just a pastime with nothing to do.

Just then, there was a knock on the door. Zhao Mengting went to open the door of the courtyard, and saw Hongxiu coming in surrounded by several people.

Zhao Mengting smiled stunned, looked at Hongxiu and said, "I don't know who you are looking for?" ”

Hongxiu smiled sweetly and said, "You are Sister Zhao Mengting, right?" I've always heard Xu Gongzi mention you, and he said that your background is very pitiful. ”

The words made Zhao Mengting feel a little uncomfortable in her heart, especially which sentence often heard Xu Gongzi mention you, this tone, it was as if she had become a stranger, fortunately, she was not the kind of person who always hung on her face, and she also smiled back and said, "So...... You are the Hongxiu girl, and I have heard the son talk about you. ”

Hongxiu looked at Zhao Mengting carefully and blurted out, "What are you talking about me?" ”

Zhao Mengting said: "He said that you are a good girl, and you will definitely be able to find a good family in the future." ”

Hongxiu grinned and said, "He wants to be an old man, he has his share in everything, Sister Zhao, I'm here to find Xu Gongzi, I don't know if he's here?" ”

In fact, Xu Qian was still in the courtyard, but when he heard that the conversation between the two was wrong, he had already slipped into the room immediately, but when he returned to the house, he immediately thought, this is my house, why am I like a thief? So he patted his thigh, and regretted it in his heart, so he came out openly, waved his hand at Hongxiu from afar, and said: "Hongxiu girl is free, but the poor house is shabby, I'm afraid that I will be sluggish, please come in and talk." ”

Hongxiu's eyes lit up, stroked the messy hair on her forehead, smiled sweetly at Zhao Mengting, and then walked into the court, she didn't forget to look around, and said: "The humble house is simple, but it's also interesting, are you studying here?" It is said that scholars are romantic, depending on your situation, I am afraid that the romance will not go anywhere. ”

Xu Qian said calmly: "Although the scholar is romantic, the word romance is different in everyone's eyes. ”

Hongxiu half-rotated her body with her hands behind her back, her lips pursed slightly, and she said curiously: "I want to hear it." ”

Xu Qian said: "In the eyes of some people, indulgence is romantic, but in the eyes of some people, it is a romance to worship the marquis. Of course, I also yearn for indulgence in lust and worship the marquis, but in fact, I stay in my own small world, a pot of bad tea, a book, if you calm down and savor it, but it is not lost. ”

Hongxiu said speechlessly: "It's okay not to be so romantic, why don't I take you to the West Lake."

, whether you want to listen to music or cruise ships are up to you. ”

Xu Qian smiled bitterly: "It's not good, it's not good, there are few romantic things in West Lake, but there are many obscene things, so don't go." He chirped in his heart: "Follow a woman to the West Lake to look for romance, this is to be full of food and support, and if you want to go there, you will also go with Deng Jian." ”

Hongxiu frowned and said: "I have repeatedly invited you, but you are pushing back, what is the reason?" In vain for my good intentions, let's stop...... Originally, I wanted to come to save you once, but who knew that you were so uninteresting, then I will leave. ”

She said amazingly, she actually said that she wanted to save Xu Qian once, she thought that Xu Qian would stop her immediately, and she had to ask to understand, who knew that she turned around and was about to leave, but Xu Qian just politely stayed: "Leaving so quickly, there is inevitably a suspicion of inconsiderate hospitality, Miss Hongxiu might as well drink tea and leave." ”

Hongxiu was almost angry, but she was a little girl after all, and she still couldn't hide it after all, so she looked back and gritted her silver teeth and said, "Are you still in the mood to eat tea now?" Sue you, I heard that someone is active in Nanjing, and they are inquiring about your family history, and the person who is inquiring about the news is Xie Zhao, Xie Zhao's ancestor Yasukuni has meritorious service, and his family is an iron-clad Marquis of Yasukuni, and he has a lot to do with many people in Nanjing. ”

Xu Qian was slightly stunned, and then his expression became solemn, he can have today, relying on his own efforts and luck, in fact, there is another layer of relationship, if this relationship is exposed by others, and it happens to be used by others, whether the fame can be preserved or not is a matter of two words, whether it will be punished is a question.

Seeing Xu Qian's solemn expression, Hong Xiu found for the first time that the man in front of her still knew the taste of sorrow, and it was quite interesting to see his sword eyebrows slightly locked, so she had to say, "What?" Do you really have the handle in someone else's hands? Is it very strict? ”

Xu Qian sighed, then raised his eyes and said, "I'm afraid that your identity is not as simple as a palace maid, or is your status in the palace only higher than that of many palace maids?" Could it be Father-in-law Huang, your godfather? ”

Hongxiu shuddered in her heart, and immediately asked him, "How can you see it?" ”

Xu Qian said: "You are in Hangzhou, but you can know about Nanjing, which means that someone must find out the news for you, if you are an ordinary palace maid, even if you are entrusted by Her Royal Highness the princess, but to instruct these spies, it is still difficult to be convincing." ”

Hongxiu had to say pitifully: "You are really amazing, you can guess my identity at once, you can't hide it, Gonggong Huang is indeed ...... ...... indeed"

Xu Qian immediately said: "Originally, Xie Zhao and I were just different identities and couldn't look at each other, they wanted to laugh at me, so I laughed at them, but now they are doing this, it is too much." Xu Qian took a deep breath and said, "Since this is the case, then the net can only be broken." ”

Hongxiu said: "Don't you be so serious, okay, your serious appearance is very scary." ”

Xu Qian made a gesture towards Hongxiu and thanked him solemnly, in fact, Xu Qian was really grateful to this Hongxiu from the bottom of his heart, if she hadn't reported the news in advance, she was afraid that she would be in the dark until she died.

Just what to do now? In fact, from the very beginning, the issue of identity is Xu Qian's weakness, Xu Qian can take the imperial examination, with the help of that identity, once this matter is used by someone with a heart, what should he do?

His eyes flickered a few times, and his mind began to work, and of course he could realize that this matter was very strict. And Xie Zhao and these people make a fuss about the issue of identity, of course, they want to put themselves to death......

This time, not only can he not retreat, but he must have a complete way, this fame on his body was obtained by Xu Qian with a lot of effort and countless days and nights, pinning on Xu Qian's hope, but also on the expectations of his father and even all the clansmen.

"When it comes to this, you can only live and die!"

Xu Qian thought in his heart, a trace of murderous intent flashed in his eyes, he must prove that he is by no means a puppet to be manipulated by others, and he will never sit idly by.
