The autumn season is set before the Mid-Autumn Festival, and it is cloudy early in the morning, and there is a strong wind, which makes people unable to open their eyes.

Song Qingyue has been busy for days, waiting for this day.

For her mother's brother's exam, she is confident. A few days earlier, I consulted my mother-in-law Gu and said:

"It is a great thing for the eldest brother to be in charge of the autumn palace this time, but the eldest brother is busy all day long, and he doesn't even have time to eat a serious meal, and the daughter-in-law is really uncomfortable when she looks at it. A-Niang looks at it like this, it's over after the autumn exam today, and the eldest brother can take a breath, let's do it at home, the relatives haven't been together for some days, and your old sisters are all called, so lively. ”

Song Qingyue understands the Gu family, her aunt loves face the most, and she can't wait to blow the horn to talk about it everywhere when there is a happy event in the family, especially the matter of Dalangjun Zhang Chengru, seeing that the end of the autumn season will definitely be promoted and make a fortune, and she must not show off in front of her relatives and old sisters.

Gu Shi nodded and said, "Well, I also have this intention." Then you can Zhang Luo, didn't your younger brother Brother Kuan also participate in the Autumn Festival, just right, call your father and mother together, and wait for your brother to come over directly after the exam, let's be lively together. ”

"Okay, don't worry, mother, daughter-in-law will definitely do it well." Song Qingyue smiled, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but rise, and Wang Peilan, who was eating melon seeds, rolled her eyes.

Everything that was originally prepared, but because of the weather, Song Qingyue was in trouble.

Today, a total of ten tables of dinner were invited, five tables in the main hall were gentlemen, and five tables in the backyard were entertained by the women, but the wind blew the sand and stones, where can I still eat, but the invitation is also down, the meals are ready, and it can't be withdrawn, so Song Qingyue patted her thigh, please invite them all, and simply find someone to come, cover the entire courtyard with a black transparent and impermeable gauze roof, and light some more lamps, brighter and more lively.

Silver, Song Qingyue gritted her teeth, she used it anyway, it's not bad. So he opened the gilded box, which had been sealed and locked with brass locks.

It was the dowry brought by the Gu family's mother's family, and it had been kept in the hands of the Gu family, and the Gu family didn't dare to take it out when Shen was in charge of the family, and there were only a lot of things in the past few years, and now they were coaxed by Song Qingyue.

Otherwise, it's hard to prevent thieves.

Fortunately, the wind blew for a short time on this day, and the sky was slightly brighter.

Song Qingyue has already arranged the ten tables of wine and food properly, and the guests have also come one after another, and the concierge is specially guarded by Mama Wang next to Gu's side, since it is a happy event, the relatives and friends who come to the banquet naturally want to send some congratulatory gifts, and the actions of registering, making records, and collecting the treasury are all in the hands of the old lady.

Today is the last day of Qiuyu, and the end of the exam is in the unitary hour, Song Qingyue stood at the gate and looked out, looking forward to her younger brother coming back quickly.

Her mother is the successor of her father, and she lost her body after giving birth to her in the early years, but in order to stabilize the identity of her mother-in-law, she had to desperately raise her body and give birth to a son, because this younger brother is several years younger than Song Qingyue, just seventeen years old this year, and she has been pampered since childhood, and her temperament is very impatient and picky.

The scheduled opening time is three o'clock in the unitary hour, the guests have already arrived, Mama Wang packed up the gift list and said a word to her and pouted and left, Song Qingyue gritted her teeth angrily, what is there to be afraid of, sooner or later it will not be all mine.

At the moment, she saw the carriage entering the alley from a distance, and Song Qingyue suddenly became happy.

"Come on, hurry up and prepare tea, Brother Kuan is definitely thirsty, there is hot water and a handkerchief, scrub him, change his clothes and hurry up to the table."

Song Qingyue commanded, and the little girls got busy.

The carriage stopped in front of the mansion, Song Kuan lazily stepped out of the carriage, the whole person was exhausted after the three-day exam, and a green stubble appeared on his face, and his face was long.

"Yo, little ancestor, don't hurry up, I'm waiting to say hello to you." Song Qingyue went up to hold her brother's arm, but he pushed him away.

"Where did you get the exam questions, what guarantee is true, it's just a trick to kill me, it's fake at all." Song Kuan roared, and the young man who was about to become an adult was in the period of voice change, and his voice roared like a male duck, hoarse and low.

Song Qingyue was stunned, hurriedly went up to cover his mouth, and was pushed away by him again.

"What's the matter, tell my sister what's going on."

"What's going on, the question you gave is fake, and the essay you took is not the same as that at all."

Song Qingyue was stunned, and asked after a while: "Then how did you answer?" ”

"How else can I answer, I only prepared according to the question you gave, so I wrote it directly, and I didn't care about the question." Song Kuan looked angry, "You said you, what should I do?" ”

"It's okay, it's okay, aren't all articles in the world the same thing." Song Qingyue breathed a sigh of relief, "As long as you write it, it's fine, the topic is different, and the articles that are written are not all the same." Besides, there is also your eldest cousin, he is responsible for grading, don't worry, you must be in it. ”

Song Kuanhu glanced at her suspiciously, and didn't believe it or not, the whole person was tired and hungry, and raised his feet and entered the mansion.

Twilight shrouded, the branches on the moon, and the lights in Zhang's mansion are colorful, so lively and festive.

Song Qingyue has become the protagonist of today, leading her younger brother Song Kuan to toast inside and out, and she didn't forget to chant for the Gu family in front of the female dependents:

"Today, the eldest brother was the protagonist, who knew that he was busy with things in his office, and he was going to come back later, so let Brother Kuan give a toast to the ladies and ladies first."

This sentence is said satisfactorily, and it does not mention that Zhang Chengru wants to be promoted, but it implies that he is soaring between the lines.

Naturally, obedient and obedient, the ladies are also flattering.

"Da Lang is really good, seeing that your Zhang family is about to fly high, old sister, congratulations."

"Yes, when I was a child, I saw that Da Lang was a good seedling, and sure enough, the old lady was well educated."

"I see that Brother Kuan is also outstanding, just waiting for the list. Catch Ming'er to follow your brothers and uncles to experience more experience, and I will be a promising person in the future. ”

……

The flattering Gu family and Song Qingyue were very satisfied, looking at their enviable situation, they really felt proud and proud.

The pomp was big enough, the atmosphere was harmonious, and the banquet was also very decent, which really made Gu and Song Qingyue out of the limelight.

Song Qingyue was in a state of excitement all night, her face was flushed, and she could sweat all over her body on this cold autumn night.

At this time, the little guy on the door came to report: "Second lady, there are officers and soldiers coming...... Come and get people. ”

"Quick, please ......come in," Song Qingyue was stunned, "What did you say?" ”

The little guy trembled and said, "Yes...... The government came to get people, and many officers and soldiers came. ”

The lively atmosphere came to an abrupt end, the courtyard was immediately quiet, and the front hall also heard the news, and the second and third masters all ran over.

Gu first appeased the guests, and took the family to the gate, and sure enough, two rows of soldiers wearing armor and holding torches stood at the gate of the mansion, and the head of the man said:

"Song Kuan, I cheated in the Qiu Yu exam, and now I am ordered to bring it back to the yamen for interrogation, this is a warrant."

Saying that, someone stepped forward to unfold the arrest warrant, and before everyone could react, two more soldiers came up and escorted Song Kuan down.

Song Qingyue panicked suddenly: "Official, I have something to say, what the hell is going on, our brother Kuan is not cheating." ”

The man said: "The question he wrote is the imperial examination question that was resold on the market a few days ago, and the answer to the question on today's examination paper is not what he asked, the evidence is conclusive, take it away." ”

As he spoke, he took people away without waiting for an explanation.

Gu Shi was so anxious that he straightened his chest and said: "Wait, this is Zhang Shilang's Mansion, where is my eldest man, and wait for him to explain his words clearly before bringing someone." ”

The man sneered and said, "Old lady, your eldest son is suspected of reselling the imperial examination questions, and he has been taken down by the yamen, and the black gauze hat has been taken off." ”

Yes...... Everyone was stunned.

Gu almost fainted, and hurriedly shouted: "Quick, Mama Wang, go and open my gilt box, take the silver, take it all, make the silver trust relationship, inquire clearly what is going on, and be sure to keep Dalang first." ”

In front of everyone's eyes, Mama Wang hurriedly came and said, "The old lady is not good, your gilt box seal has been moved, and the silver in it is gone." ”

Gu fainted on the spot, and the banquet ended miserably.

By the time Gu woke up, everyone had already dispersed, and today the old face was lost, and she didn't have time to care about anything else, so she only asked, "Da Lang, what should I do with Da Lang?" ”

There were candles burning in the room, and everyone looked at Zhou Xueying, who was sitting in the circle chair and drinking tea, and then remembered that since the lotus banquet, she hadn't come for several days, and today she came to the banquet as if she had changed someone, and the wealth and style of the whole body were staggering.

"Old lady, don't worry." She walked over with a smile, sat on the edge of Gu's bed, cocked her orchid finger and took Gu's hand, pinched it and emphasized: "You are old and relaxed, leave Chengru's affairs to me, and ensure that he comes back with all his tails." ”

*

In the imperial study, Emperor Xiaochun threw broken porcelain on the ground, and a room of people knelt all over the ground.

"Let you do such a simple thing, Zhang Chengru, you did it well." Emperor Xiaochun pointed at Zhang Chengru's nose and scolded, "Instigating the prince to resell the exam questions, you are so capable, Zhang Shilang, Zhang Aiqing." ”

Zhang Chengru was lying on the ground trembling and didn't dare to explain, seeing that he didn't speak, Emperor Xiaochun kicked him up and kicked him to the ground, he didn't dare to resist, rolled up and continued to kneel.

"And you, Li Luansong...... You ......"

Facing his favorite son, Emperor Xiaochun remembered the well-behaved and outstanding performance of His Royal Highness King Jin recently, and was reluctant to scold her for a while, so he kicked Zhang Chengru again.

When the news was brought to Li Luansong in May, Shen was still kneeling in the imperial study and being scolded.

"Your Majesty has been scolding for two hours." May said, "That ...... of fire"

Zhangfu's chicken, fly, dog and jump had nothing to do with Li Luansong, he was planning to practice, and when he heard Mayday, he was so anxious to put on his clothes and go out.

Zelan hurriedly chased him out and asked, "Lady, where are you going, the front yard is crazy, and our Langjun has been taken off his black gauze hat." ”

"What do you have to do with me?" Li Luansong felt wind at his feet, "I have more important things to do." ”

"But, lady......" Zeeland couldn't keep up with him, in her opinion, the eldest lady had been crazy for a few days, and she was really helpless.

Li Luansong lowered his head and walked out in a hurry, bumped into a person at the side door, and looked up, my God, the little goblin in this brothel, how did he enter the door in a grand manner.

Take a closer look, isn't this Zhang Guanhua, good guy, I haven't seen him for a long time, the originally fat little lady was as thin as a monkey at this time, with a face full of heavy makeup, her head full of gold and silver, dressed in fancy clothes and showing flesh, she looked like a female ghost at night.

"You ......"

Before Li Luansong could speak, Zhang Guanhua rolled his eyes and ignored him, turned around and left.
