The old prince waved his hand to explain his thoughts.

Xia Qingqing hurriedly smiled and said, "Grandfather, don't worry, I definitely won't publicize it to the outside world, just the two of us." ”

"Don't say anything else, you still encourage me, let me go out and see, look for opportunities to broaden my horizons, if I don't go to Xuzhou this time, I won't be able to bring back so many new sales."

"That's not what I said, obviously I won't let you go, you have to go, and I can't stop you." The old prince had a tiger face.

smiled and nodded her little brain, "You, you, what's wrong with holding back, this big year is under, don't think about going out, even the New Year hasn't passed yet." ”

Xia Qingqing took his hand and shook it, "Grandfather, how can you think like that?" ”

"What should you be thinking! It's almost April, and that's the day of the quadrennial exam, and there are still so many scholars in our Baiyutang, you think that you will go out for a month. ”

"Just leave the family, Xing Guogong takes care of these scholars by himself, and you don't go to Baiyutang to have a look, grandfather, it's not authentic for you to do this."

King Jing patted his head and said, "The natural disasters in the north really make me sad, I really forgot about these scholars, and besides, they are in your Baiyu Hall, and they can't lack food and drink." ”

"There are also famous teachers to guide them, what do they have to worry about, if in this case, they still can't get good grades, then it's really a waste of this place we found for them."

"Grandfather, you are always like this, with a knife mouth and a tofu heart, you obviously think about everything for them. Why do you still say such sad things? ”

"Okay, well, grandfather is wrong, I won't talk like this in the future."

"In my opinion, what should be said, what can be said, and everything that has been said."

"These scholars either read books every day, or study the Four Books and Five Classics, everyone is very hard, and those with bad intentions have been investigated by the people arranged by the gentlemen early."

"You can rest assured that you're safe."

"yes, okay." The old prince nodded with satisfaction.

"I hope they will make a splash in this examination, so that the imperial court can pay attention to some new forces, in this case, even if they want to be sent to Chazhou to elect a new prefect in the future, they must find some suitable ones from these people who are diligent in government and send them over."

"You don't have to worry about choosing and choosing, and a group of corrupt officials and the country's moths have been selected and sent over. If there are a few more times, like the Taishou of Chazhou, who knows about it and does not report and conceal it, then the people of the Qixia Dynasty will really not be able to live. ”

The old prince nodded solemnly and said, "In this matter, I think that the candidates sent must be strictly investigated, and it is best to check the ancestors, and they must be three generations old, and none of them have been traitors." ”

The old prince said solemnly, Xia Qingqing thought that what his grandfather said was a bit exaggerated, after all, there are some things that should not be done, and even the big crime of the nine clans is basically impossible in modern times, only those who take the public examination will check these, but at this time, no one dares to say anything. ”

"Grandfather has been arguing with the government and the opposition in recent days. The emperor is also very worried about the candidate who selected the Taishou of Chazhou, why don't you go into the palace to see the emperor? "Even if it's to relieve her boredom!"

The old prince gave her a cold look, "I'm not going to wade into this troubled water!" ”

"At this time, run as far as you want, who will go up the pole to join in the fun! Nowadays, whoever gets closer to the emperor is more likely to be scolded, just look at it! ”

After a while, I heard someone report that it was, "After Prime Minister Wen came out of the palace, he did not get into his own carriage, but walked all the way back to the mansion, and walked for most of the day. ”

"The carriage and the groom are behind Prime Minister Wen, not far away."

It's strange, everyone said that Prime Minister Wen was so old, why didn't he take the carriage back?

The old prince put down the tea cup in his hand, laughed and said, "See, this is the end!" At this time, who can please the emperor is the most important thing? It's okay to add fuel to the fire. I don't want to go back on this cold day. ”

"He, it must be that he didn't say that right, he didn't say it to the emperor's heart, which made the emperor angry, and saw that he was too old to deal with it at will, so he let him go back so slowly and leisurely."

"It's a good name, let him pay attention to the people who set up stalls on both sides of the street, and see if they have anything, it's worth noting, it's this kind of trick, it's not the first time."

"In the past, it was even more excessive, and Prime Minister Wen was driven out at night and asked him to walk back, none of you knew that it was quiet that time, it was curfew, or I went to the emperor in the palace the next day, just joking, and mention it to me."

"This emperor's temper is the tiger's beard, easy to tease and touch, Prime Minister Wen is good, and he always speaks uprightly. This time, you put yourself in it, right? ”

"Let's say that she has no eyes, she looks quite good at things on weekdays, let's say she has eyes, she always disagrees with the emperor on national affairs all day long."

"The emperor's intentions, the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty can see it, as far as he and that stubborn opinion, his position as prime minister is completely relying on his true talent and learning, and the yin style of his ancestors, as well as the tolerance of the emperor, to achieve today."

"Otherwise, let me tell you, I would have given him a long time ago, and I can still count on it to be like this, and they are all officials in the same dynasty for three generations."

\"He was also in charge of the literary examination, and the civil and military personnel of the Manchu Dynasty were more or less taken care of by him. \"

"Oh, such a thing as seven, seven, eight, eight, can't be counted on one hand, he, this is a common thing, don't make a fuss, since someone has already lit this artillery battle, I won't go!"

"I'm going fishing!"

"Your Majesty, I have recently contracted this preference, put a small couch next to the pool in his imperial garden, and then started fishing, I went a few times, and the emperor fished when it was a good time, I also went to our garden to fish."

"Will we be able to eat fish tonight? It's up to me to see if I can catch it. The old prince said to everyone, Xia Qingqing, Xia Jinghong, and Lin Yuan'er all covered their mouths and snickered there, puffing one after another.

Everyone's snickering was directly invited, and the old prince rolled his eyes, Xia Qingqing immediately raised his hand in surrender and said, "Ah, grandfather, grandfather, I'll go with you, isn't it fishing?" ”

"What's not to do!"

"You!"

"Don't come and mess with me!"

"The last time you accompanied me, before you could get to the pool, you started yelling."

"Scare my fish away, this time you have to accompany me again, let's not eat dinner!" Xia Qingqing thought about it at this time, blinked his eyes strangely, and said, "Grandfather, you don't understand, my voice is striking west, I'll go to the other side of the pond." ”

"Go and get water, get these fish, make the chickens and dogs jump, I don't know where to swim, at this time you throw the bait there, there must be a fish on the bait!"

"As soon as the fish is hooked, won't you have it to eat this night?"

"Don't blame me here, I won't listen to your nonsense!"

"Good fellow, where am I going to catch a whole pond of fish and dogs?"

"Don't come with me!"

Grandfather turned back and pointed his finger at her little head, "If you let me see it on the lake next to the garden, how do you see me when I come back and clean you up?" ”

"Let's go," the old prince strode out, leaving the three of them looking at each other.

At this time, Xia Qingqing said, "Grandfather is obviously unwilling to take care of that matter, fourth brother, what do you think?" ”

Xia Jinghong was even more helpless, "Grandfather doesn't care, what else can I do?" ”

"Forget it, the left and right have nothing to do with us, then Chazhou is too guarded, even if you send anyone to do it, you can't send it, our family will do it."

"I don't want to bother with this anymore. I'm going back to the room with your sister-in-law. ”

"You, what should you do when you go back? By the way, your Bai Yutang has recently scattered so much silver! Why don't you think about how you can make money? \"

Xia Qingqing patted his head, "Oh, I forgot, I'm just happy that my grandfather came back in the past two days, how can I accompany my grandfather not enough, okay, since he doesn't want me, you don't pay attention to me, I'll study and make money." “

Lin Yuan'er seemed to have something to say, took a step forward, and was just about to speak, when Xia Jinghong covered his mouth, Xia Qingqing listened to the sound behind him.

When he turned around, he looked at the two of them inexplicably and asked, "What are you doing here?" ”

Xia Jinghong looked indifferent and said, "It's okay, your fourth sister-in-law has a dirty thing on the side of her mouth, I'll just wipe it off for her." ”

Lin Yuan'er secretly bit his finger, a pile of sweat broke out on Xia Jinghong's head, and Xia Qingqing asked incomprehensibly, "Brother, the weather is so cold, why are you still sweating?" ”

Xia Jinghong gritted his back molars and responded in a low voice, it's okay, it's okay, go back to the room quickly!

Xia Qingqing chuckled, pretending not to understand their tricks, walked out of the door, and just flashed out. Xia Jinghong immediately shouted, "Loosen up!" ”

You belong to a dog, why do you still bite people? ”

Lin Yuan'er also responded, "Also say that I, what kind of good thing you look like, I want to talk to Qingqing about this money-making model." ”

"He didn't explain the problem of the stored value card to me last time, what are you stopping me from?"

Xia Jinghong shook his left hand in pain, and attached the tooth mark he had just bitten out on his right hand, and said, "Am I your husband?" ”

"You're biting so hard! And why? I must have something to say to you, if it's okay, I'll definitely let you go with Qingqing. ”
