After the palace test, there was an apricot forest banquet, and Emperor Longqing wanted to feast all the new scholars. Of course, this has nothing to do with Sang Xuanyue, after all, Qing'er hasn't even participated in the township test. Xinglin Banquet really has nothing to do with their sister and brother.

However, after the Xinglin banquet, the Marquis of Wu'an sent a post to the Sang Mansion, inviting their sister and brother to attend Shen Tinglan's celebration banquet two days later.

Qing'er took the red gilded invitation and asked Sang Xuanyue: "Sister, shall we go?" ”

"If I don't go, you will do it."

Qing'er looked at her sister in surprise, "Sister, you haven't been to the Wu'an Hou Mansion recently. It seems that the last time you went to the Hou Mansion, the two of us went to pay New Year's greetings to the old lady after the year. It's been more than two months, and you haven't been to the mansion once. Sister, what's wrong with you? Did someone in Nafu say something that made you angry? Or do you have something else to think about? Want to take the opportunity to distance yourself from the Hou Mansion and not let others gossip about our sister and brother? ”

Sang Xuanyue asked Qing'er: "Why do you think so?" Don't worry, no one gossips about me, no one makes me angry, and I don't deliberately want to distance myself from the Marquis of Wu'an. I'm just too busy, I have to decorate the shop, set up bookshelves, and do waterproof, moisture-proof, and fireproof treatments, and I can't get out of it. ”

Sang Xuanyue would not tell Qing'er about her and Shen Tingjun at all, and Zhou Baolu calculated her affairs, and it was not suitable for this child to know. So on the one hand, she was deliberately alienating the Hou Mansion, but on the other hand, she didn't want her younger brother to notice that she was tired.

Qing'er is delicate, but he still doesn't know that his sister doesn't want Zhou Baolu to have a good time, not because Zhou Baolu bullied them, but also pestered them. He didn't know that his sister was almost calculated by Zhou Baolu again, and almost became a concubine in the palace.

Qing'er didn't know this, so she didn't know why her sister didn't want to go to the Hou Mansion.

He felt that the excuse given by his sister was a bit far-fetched, but it seemed to be very reasonable.

He was too young to understand the things of the decoration shop at all. Although the dumb uncle and others can help, my sister has the heart to train herself, and she can do everything she can do by herself. My sister has been really busy these days, and she doesn't have time to go to the Wu'an Hou Mansion to say the past.

With this kind of thought, on the day of the banquet held in the Marquis of Wu'an's Mansion, Qing'er came to the door alone with a congratulatory gift.

The old lady was busy receiving the female dependents, so Qing'er naturally didn't see the old lady. It was Shen Tinglan who received him, but Shen Tinglan was too busy, so he only said a few words to him, so he went to entertain a steady stream of classmates, friends, and brothers who came in.

Qing'er was a little bored to be alone, he was the same age as the surrounding guests, and others couldn't talk to him.

In this case, Qing'er wandered around the yard bored. Who knew that just wandering around like this, I saw a very familiar back.

Who else could it be if it wasn't the execution boat?

Thinking of the scandal between Shi Xingzhou and her sister, Qing'er reflexively dodged it. After doing this, he regretted it again.

He didn't do anything unseemly, and at this time he avoided it and made himself look like a villain.

But when he wanted to come out, he suddenly heard the man standing on the other side of Shi Zhou ask him with a smile: "Brother Shi was given the Jinshi background this time, and the future is promising." I don't know if Brother Shi wants to participate in the supplementary official examination of the Hanlin Academy after that, or let the Hou Ye intervene and directly release him as an official? ”

Qing'er immediately paused, thinking to herself, Shi Zhou is also a jinshi? On that day, he didn't remember that the execution boat was in it.

But there were too many people at that time, he was too excited to watch, and he talked to his sister a few times in the middle, could it be that he missed him at that time?

Perhaps, after all, Shi Zhou is his master, and his knowledge is really good, although it is still worse than Shen Sanye. But the third master was hit by Tanhua, and the execution of the boat was hit by Jinshi, which doesn't seem to be much unimaginable.

Not to mention that Qing'er was full of complications this time, but only that after hearing his friend's words, Shi Zhou almost didn't even think about it, so he said bluntly: "Let's go out." The capital is full of talents, and the supplementary official examination of the Hanlin Academy is not so easy to pass. "The Jinshi of the last session is still sitting on the cold bench and has not yet been assigned to the position. A new science and technology scholar like him must either have talent or money connections, otherwise he will not be able to successfully fill the office.

With the help of the Hou Mansion, it is not difficult for him to make up for the shortcomings, but what's the point of this? It's better to let Hou Ye arrange for him to be released, and then the size will be a county order, and he can also do some practical things for the people.

When Shi Xingzhou said this, his friends instantly praised: "Brother Shi is dedicated to the people, and one day he will be able to win the love of all the people." ”

"I hope so."

Shi Zhou sighed, and then fell down again. Seeing this, my friend was surprised and said: "It is said that there are four joys in life, and Brother Shi has been named on the gold list, why are you still depressed?" ”

Shi Zhou didn't say anything, only a little gloomy between his eyebrows and eyes. The friend was a cunning person, so he quipped: "Isn't it that Brother Shi has a lofty heart and wants to achieve other three joys in order to be happy?" ”

The other three joys, the long drought is in the rain, the old acquaintance in another country, and the candle night in the cave room......

The friend suddenly remembered something, and his face suddenly became more interesting: "I heard someone say before that my aunt hired a good girl for Brother Shi. I don't know when Brother Shi is going to get married? Is it before the foreign appointment, or until after the foreign office? ”

After the implementation of the Zhou High School Jinshi, the Hou Mansion rebuilt a two-entry courtyard for him. The yard is a little small, but the population of his family is withering, and there are only three people when it is full, and the yard is full enough. Besides, don't look at the small courtyard, but in Xicheng, where every inch of land is valuable, in this way, the Hou Mansion treats him well.

In fact, Xingzhou had already moved out of the Hou Mansion a few days ago and lived in Xicheng. Today I came back to attend Shen Tinglan's celebration banquet.

He himself was born in poverty, and he can't say that he did well in the exam this time, but Shen Tinglan is the same subject as him, and he is a Qingke of the Hou Mansion. The relationship between the two is close, and he should come to congratulate him.

It's just that he came to congratulate him, but he couldn't rejoice at all in his heart. Because just two days ago, her mother hired her the daughter of a wealthy businessman.

The eight characters have been combined, and the wedding date has been set. Because he wanted to take the bride away before his foreign appointment, the wedding date was set for a month later.

When Shi Zhou said this, the friend instantly congratulated. But there is only stiffness on the surface of the boat, where there is the slightest festive color.

The friend couldn't help but think of the rumors he had heard before.

It is said that Brother Shi has a good relationship in the Hou Mansion, but the aunt beats the mandarin duck because she doesn't like the woman's humble background. Now that he has revisited his hometown, Brother Shi should have remembered the woman who was in love with him, right?

It's just that Brother Shi is about to have an official body, and it is really not good to marry a maid. Although the aunt is tougher, it is all for Brother Shi's good, and she loves her son with a fist, how can Brother Shi not be considerate?

The friend persuaded again, and when Shi Zhou heard him mention the person he had loved earlier, his face suddenly turned red, and then turned pale.

How could she be a maid?

She is a lady born in a family of poetry, books and etiquette, and it is not that they are in love, but that he shaves his head and is hot...... But let's not talk about this, it's a matter of the past, and now I will mention it again, but it adds a little bit of talking point to people in vain.

Xingzhou immediately cheered up and staggered the topic of his friends. The two of them saw that it was not too early, and began to walk out, to talk to their fellow students.

And Qing'er heard this, and she was a little angry in her heart.

The gossip of his sister and Shi Zhou was what he heard from the mouths of the maids. But that's all fake, not true.

Besides, because the Shi family's grandmother was in hot pursuit, her sister had to take him back to Rose Garden.

My sister's attitude is obvious enough, and if she avoids suspicion, she will almost stick to the wall, but why are there so many rumors?

Qing'er wanted to find Shizhou to explain and ask him not to mention his sister in front of anyone in the future. But the feet were all gone, and Qing'er retreated back.

Why bother, Shizhou is about to get married, and now he is looking for the past, but it is just adding to the waves.

Forget it, I still don't look for it.

Qing'er turned out from behind the flowers and prepared to go back to the yard. It was at this moment that he noticed that someone seemed to be watching him not far away.

Qing'er looked over directly, and then after seeing who that person was, his face suddenly stiffened.

"Hou, Hou, you, why are you here?"

Shen Tingjun slowly paced out from the corner, he had just finished entertaining guests and came here to hide and relax, but he saw Qing'er sneakily hiding behind flowers and trees.

Now Qing'er still looked at him as if he was facing a great enemy, with a shocked and frightened expression.

Shen Tingjun frowned when he saw this, he looked at the figures walking away in the distance, one of them was Shi Xingzhou, and the other was not clear, but the appearance was also a little familiar, it should have been a new science and technology jinshi who had seen it at the Xinglin banquet.

recognized one of them as Xing Xingzhou, and then thought about Qing'er's actions, Shen Tingjun understood a little.

But it's better not to understand.

He didn't pursue the previous matter, and he didn't bother to poke his heart. Then he called out to Shangqing'er: "Come with me to the front." ”

Qing'er Nuonuo responded: "Okay, good." Follow the orders of the marquis. ”

As a result, many of the new scholars who came to the banquet today, including the classmates and friends of the two brothers Shen Tingjun, all paid special attention to Qing'er and glanced at Qing'er again and again.

Everyone privately inquired about Qing'er's identity, but unfortunately except for Shen Tingjun's two brothers and Shi Shizhou, no one really knew him at the scene.

However, after Shi Xingzhou saw Qing'er, he hid behind people as if he was dodging, and Shen Tingjun and Shen Tinglan would not go out of their way to explain anything to anyone. As a result, Qing'er's identity inexplicably became unfathomable, and even some of the family heads who went to the banquet asked their children to talk to Qing'er.

It doesn't matter which little boy this is, and it doesn't matter what his background is. Letting the Shen family brothers take him with him shows that he is extraordinary. Establishing a good relationship with him in advance is only good and not bad.

Qing'er was held in the middle by the stars like the moon, and he was very, very unaccustomed. However, thinking that he couldn't lose face in the Hou Mansion, he learned from the appearance of the Hou Ye to entertain guests, and politely laughed with others.

On this day, Qing'er was unprecedentedly fulfilling. He also made several friends, two of whom also made an appointment with him to release paper kites together in the spring in a few days.

After Qing'er returned to the Sang House, she explained today's events to her sister one by one. He focused on mentioning that Shen Tingjun and Shen Tinglan were kind to him, and they took him with him when they saw people.

Qing'er was a little puzzled about this.

He didn't know that Shen Tingjun had an affair with his sister, and he didn't know that Shen Tinglan owed his sister a lot because of what happened to Zhou Baolu.

For various reasons, these two people looked at Qing'er differently and took good care of them. But Qing'er only wondered, could it be that his personality charm had become so great unconsciously, so even Hou Ye and his brothers fell for him?

His second monk was at a loss, and insiders such as Su Jin and Su Xin were ashamed to hear Qing'er's words and really wanted to blast him out.

It's not beautiful, but it's beautiful. I don't know what kind of earth-shattering personality charm he has as a child who hasn't grown all his hair, so that he can fall over the famous Wu Anhou and Shen Tinglan, the new science detective.

This may happen to the rest of the people, but never to a little kid.

Qing'er was uncomfortable being looked at by a few people, but he was so happy today that he didn't care about Sister Suxin's jokes. He nestled up beside his sister and whispered to her. Suddenly thinking of something, Qing'er said, "By the way, I also saw ...... today"

He also saw the execution boat today.

The words were about to come out, and Qing'er covered her mouth dangerously.

Sister and Shi Zhou are obviously nothing, he deliberately mentioned Shi Zhou, doesn't this look like something?

Sang Xuanyue looked over: "Who else have you seen?" ”

Qing'er shook her head like a rattle, "I also saw Sister Shuangli." ”

Sang Xuanyue understood after a little thought, "When Shuangli sent off the guest, you met her, right?" ”

"Yes, yes, my sister is smart." Qing'er suppressed her heart, which was beating too fast, and quickly told Shuangli what she had told him.

"In half a month, the old lady will be fiftieth birthday, this time it is a whole birthday, and the Hou Mansion intends to give the old lady a big deal. Sister Shuangli said that let my sister hurry up and make some beautiful clothes and buy some beautiful jewelry in the next few days, and then make a beautiful appearance at the banquet. ”

After the words fell, Qing'er asked suspiciously, "The old lady has a good birthday, we must be going to participate, but isn't dressing up too much to steal the limelight from the old lady?" Isn't that the etiquette of going to someone's house? ”

Su Jin and Su Xin thought of something in an instant, and even Sang Twisting Yue couldn't help but clench their palms.

Because the master and servant had their own thoughts, they had no time to sort out Qing'er, so they urged Qing'er to go back to sleep quickly.

Qing'er is indeed a little tired, and what he said in one day today is more than ten and a half days and a half before. The friends are so enthusiastic, and he is going crazy. I didn't feel tired at the time, but now I feel that my legs and feet are heavy, and I don't even have the strength to go to the front yard.

Qing'er dragged her heavy body back to the front yard, leaving only the master and servant in the flower hall in the backyard, Su Jincai asked Sang Zhuyue in a low voice: "Girl, does the old lady intend to find a home for you?" ”

Sang Xuanyue's face remained unchanged, and she only bowed her head slightly: "It should be so." ”

This is the first shift, and there will be another shift later. And the baby doesn't know when I am scheduled to update? Around 7:30 p.m. The rest of the time is updated with additions, and at seven and three is a fixed update. Babies have a good time reading the text.
