Chapter 167: The Imperial Examination
Wen Shi shifted the topic to the imperial examination, "You must pay attention to this year's government examination, don't eat bad things like last time and miss the examination date." ”
An unnatural look flashed on Wen Zijie's face, and then he said: "Speaking of this, I also regret it, if I hadn't missed the exam date due to a bad stomach, now I would be a lifter like my cousin?" ”
Shen Qingyu frowned when he heard this, good guy, I haven't passed the government exam, and I am thinking about becoming a lifter.
Wen Zijie asked, "By the way, why doesn't my cousin give it a try this year?" ”
Wen felt proud of his son, "He is young, and his teachers and father want him to hone and hone again. ”
Wen Zijie said: "That's how it should be, although he has become a lifter, but after all, luck accounts for most of it, in case he doesn't get admitted this year, my uncle and aunt may also have a dull face." Let him study for a few more years and then take the exam. ”
This is really not good, Shen Qingyu didn't expect her eldest cousin to be so unable to chat, so she turned around and moved farther away.
Wen Zicheng hurriedly said: "Big brother has also said hello, if you are busy, just leave, my aunt is my own family, and I will definitely not blame you for being rude." ”
Wen also said: "Yes! Go get busy! ”
The words of the two were quite obvious, but Wen Zijie seemed to not understand, "I have nothing to do, just accompany my aunt here." ”
This small gathering ended with Wen's tiredness. Before parting, Shen Qingyu remembered what happened before and grabbed Wen Zicheng: "Cousin, is everything okay lately?" ”
Wen Zicheng smiled: "Of course." ”
Shen Qingyu remembered that she hadn't received a reply to her previous letter, and complained a little: "My cousin doesn't come to play with me, why don't you even reply to a letter?" ”
Wen Zicheng was stunned: "What letter?" I ......"
After all, some days had passed, and Shen Qingyu thought that he had forgotten it a long time ago, so he said with a wilt: "Cousin doesn't remember, forget it." ”
When Shen Qingyu followed Wen to leave, Wen Zicheng was still thinking about what the letter was, and when he heard Wen Zijie sneering beside him, he frowned and said, "Cousin's letter was intercepted by you, eldest brother?" ”
Wen Zijie said scoundrelly: "So what? You want to marry her, but I don't want you to get your way, you want to pick up this in-law and step on me for the rest of your life, don't even think about it. ”
As soon as he heard this, Wen Zicheng hurriedly looked around to make sure that there were no others around, so he gritted his teeth and whispered, "Big brother, what nonsense are you talking about?" Not to mention that our identities don't match, even if we are a lot different in age, how can I have such a ridiculous idea. ”
"Hmph, don't think I don't know." Wen Zijie left Wen Zicheng alone after saying this.
The color on Wen Zicheng's face changed and changed, but he stomped his feet and still chased after him.
……
Wen touched Shen Qingyu's head, "Your cousin Zicheng is honest and reliable, if you want to go out to play, I will let him take you." ”
If Shen Qingyu couldn't guess what she really meant, she would have jumped up a long time ago, but now she could only pretend to be stupid and say: "Of course my cousin is fine, but I want my eldest brother to take me more." ”
The brother and sister have a good relationship, which is also what Wen is happy to see, and said with a smile: "Your eldest brother is busy!" I'm afraid I don't have much time to take you to play. ”
The eldest brother is busy studying, so doesn't my cousin need to?
Shen Qingyu swallowed the words and did not answer Wen's words.
Fortunately, Wen really felt tired and didn't say anything more.
Shen Qingyu stayed at home for more than ten days in a row, and the imperial examination, which had been delayed, was finally held as scheduled.
Her eldest brother didn't end up this year, and her father didn't have anything to do with the main exam, so it is said that this imperial examination should have nothing to do with her.
But things are unpredictable.
On this day, Shen Zhongwen was rarely at home and led her out, and Wen didn't follow her with a little cough in the past two days.
Shen Zhongwen took her to several quiet places, clean and elegant restaurants, and shops selling silk flower jewelry.
Shen Qingyu was very happy, but before this happiness lasted for a while, she saw Zhang Jing beside Shen Zhongwen hurriedly coming over and whispering beside him.
Shen Zhongwen rarely had such a serious face, and bowed slightly: "I know." ”
Shen Qingyu didn't wait for him to speak, and said very considerately: "Does father have something to do?" If so, go ahead! It's just that I rarely have the opportunity to go out, can you let me stay outside a little longer? ”
was so pitiful, looking at him cautiously, where could Shen Zhongwen say something bad, "Okay, I'll leave a few people for you." You'll go back when you're done. ”
Ruyi said with great interest: "Girl, where are we going to play?" ”
Because Wen didn't follow, he sent the forsythia next to him.
Forsythia glanced at Ruyi without turning a trace, and said, "The slave maid followed Madame to Yayin Garden to listen to the play twice, and the play was very good-looking, why don't you go there and see it?" ”
Yayin Garden is an official pear orchard opened by the imperial court, and Mrs. Sheng Jingzhong is very popular, and the safety is naturally guaranteed. That's why she made this proposal.
Shen Qingyu also didn't have any other good places to go, so he reluctantly said: "Okay then!" ”
She took the car to the pear orchard, and the advancing carriage suddenly shook violently, and Forsythia hurriedly lifted the curtain and asked the coachman, "What's the matter?" ”
The coachman said: "Replying to your words, this suddenly rushed out and stopped the car, and the small one almost had time to stop the carriage and hit someone." ”
Hearing that someone had stopped the car, Shen Qingyu looked out curiously.
I saw that the person who stopped the car was a man dressed as a scholar, who was in a trance and looked like crazy. said in his mouth: "Some people are trying in vain to cover the sky and the sun and disturb the world." ”
Forsythia's face changed color, and he said sharply: "What a mess, don't pull this madman away." ”
The scholar didn't know where he got the strength to break away from the guard's hand, and suddenly pounced on him, slapping the edge of the car, "I want to report to the official, I want to report to the official, how can I make people so confused after studying hard for 20 years!" ”
Forsythia protected Shen Qingyu with one hand, and pointed to the guard beside him with the other, "Are you dead?" Don't pull him away yet! ”
Several guards knew that they were derelict in their duties, so they hurriedly dragged the person away, and one of them pleaded guilty: "The subordinates see that he is a scholar, thinking about what the adults have always asked, so they didn't embarrass him, and they didn't notice it for a while and disturbed the girl, so he really deserved to die." ”
Shen Zhongwen privately funded some poor scholars, and this matter was not hidden from the people around him.
Forsythia reprimanded, "Can't even tell the difference!" What if this person has a bad heart and bad intentions? ”
Shen Qingyu said in her heart, you really think highly of me, who would deal with a little girl so scheming?
She waved her hand and said, "I look at his expression, it seems that there is really something big, leave someone to accompany him to report to the official, let's go!" ”
Forsythia responded: "Since the girl said so, then do it!" ”
The scholar was pulled up, looking calmer than just now, and bowed to Shen Qingyu's carriage before leaving with the person.
