Xiao Yanxing glanced over, and there was a fierce blood in his eyebrows. I don't know if this master's sword has seen blood or what, and it doesn't look like a showcase. His eyebrows moved slightly, and when he pried it over again, his expression had returned to cold and detached.

"What are you doing standing that far away?" It is not uncommon for Xiao Yan to know martial arts, and the aristocratic men of Daqing pay attention to both civil and military affairs. There are not a few people who practice martial arts.

“…… No," Wang Shu silently walked back to his original position, "I'm afraid that if you accidentally don't hold it steady, the sword will fly over and pierce me." ”

Xiao Yanxing: "......"

Looking at each other, Xiao Yanxing couldn't laugh or cry. The girl said that he had a hard mouth, and that his own mouth was not far behind.

Based on the understanding of this girl's habit of going to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, seeing the big melon in her arms, and the four green cold melons in the basket dragged by the girl behind her, Xiao Yanxing slowly hooked the corners of his mouth.

"Tell me, what's the matter?" Five cold melons were sent, and it seems that the request is not small.

Wang Shu was not embarrassed, and generously asked the magpie to drag the basket in front of Xiao Yanxing. First carefully observed Xiao Yanxing's expression, and made sure that he was in a good mood before talking about the purpose of coming here: "...... You know I have a lot of things to run about. It's more convenient to live outside. I heard that the Xiao family's new courtyard is full. If I'm going to move in, I don't have anywhere to live. ”

"Declare in advance that I am not a concubine," Glancing at his face, Wang Shu carefully worded: "Why don't I go back to live, I live in my own house?" ”

The smile on the corner of Xiao Yanxing's mouth retracted, and he looked at her quietly.

Just when Wang Shu thought he was going to be angry, he suddenly laughed again. A faint smile bloomed on his face, like a spring breeze. A pair of calm eyes locked on Wang Shu, as if they were staring at the fierce beast whose prey was not loose.

His voice was light and pleasant, like a jade stone: "It's okay, you live in my yard." It just so happens that you're interested in whether I'm not a lifter. ”

Wang Shu instantly exploded: "...... I didn't, you talk nonsense. ”

CHAPTER XLVI

Xiao Yanxing naturally would not let Wang Shu go. Whether it was for the purpose of taking a concubine at the beginning, or Wang Shu herself. He won't let it go.

The eyebrows and eyes of the girl in front of her are bright and clear, sophisticated but not sophisticated, rare. Xiao Yanxing didn't know what he thought of her now, but he was sure that he would not allow Wang Shu to become someone else's.

"Obedient," Xiao Yanxing stretched out his hand and restrainedly twisted the bamboo leaf on the top of Wang Shu's head, "You can do what you want, but I won't let you go." ”

Wang Shu: "......" knew that he wouldn't.

She stared at Xiao Yanxing for a long time, then turned her head to look at the magpie dragging the basket: "Magpie, take it away." ”

The magpie was stunned for a moment, stared at Wang Shu with wide eyes, and cautiously peeked at Xiao Yanxing's face behind her. Xiao Yanxing didn't show any displeasure on his face, and even had some faint laugh lines in his eyes. Suddenly he didn't dare to look at it anymore, and dragged the basket to follow Wang Shu.

Wang Shu went up the mountain to no avail, so she could only take the magpie down the mountain in a huff.

The Xiao family has to go back.

Although with the current situation of the Xiao family, the Liang family may not be able to take care of her for a while. But in view of Liang's consistent ruthless style, once she has the heart to clean up someone, she may kill someone. Wang Shu can't afford to gamble.

Back at Wang's house, Wang Shu asked the magpie to go to the house first and take the Diamond Sutra that she had copied thirty times. Te Tete changed his body to a half-old short fight. After making sure that his appearance did not look too moist, he called the magpie to go to Xiao's house.

The new Xiao Mansion is located in Pear Blossom Lane in the east of the city, some distance from the north of the city. Walking on two legs alone would take you half a day.

Although the east of the city is not as rich as the south of the city, most of the academies in the county are there. Many of the students who are studying live in Pear Blossom Lane. Speaking of which, living here is not a loss of identity. It's just that the house is not as big as the south of the city, and the alleys are a little crowded.

Wang Shu came from the north of the city and crossed most of the city, so it was naturally impossible to walk alone. But she couldn't be too comfortable, so when the carriage came to the mouth of the alley, she asked the coachman to drive the carriage back. The magpie was holding a small bag of luggage and carrying thirty Diamond Sutras on his back. The master and servant pretended to be dusty and rushed to the gate of the Xiao family.

It's probably still busy, and the door is closed.

The house is small, not as spacious as the mansion, and naturally there are no side doors and small doors. Wang Shu knocked for a long time, and it took a long time for someone to come and open it.

The door was opened by a woman in her thirties, a face she had never seen before. Cold, Wang Shu thought she had knocked on the wrong door. But looking up at the plaque, it is indeed Xiao Zhai. The man didn't recognize Wang Shu and the magpie when he saw it, and vigilantly didn't let people in immediately. After looking Wang Shu up and down for a long time, he asked her to wait for a while, and then turned her head to go in to find the steward.

After tossing for a while, Wang Shu was allowed to enter the door.

After there were fewer people, there were fewer rumors, and Wang Shu and the magpie were brought to the Liang family.

In just two days, Liang's face was a lot haggard.

At this time, seeing Wang Shu coming back, I was not in the mood to ask her where she had gone in the past few days and why she had returned these days late. Her eyes fell on Wang Shu's half-worn clothes, and then fell on Wang Shu's unjeweled bun. Obviously, Wang Shu's dress has passed the test here for her. I saw her hand raise and ask Wang Shu to put the Buddhist scriptures on the table.

After a while, the women in the back house came over.

The main residence is not far away, right in a courtyard. The maid went out for a spin, and everyone called over.

The meaning of calling over is also very clear, the houses in the east and west compartments are full, and there is no empty room for Wang Shu to settle down. Wang Shu is a concubine anyway, and it is impossible to arrange to eat and live with her subordinates. Then someone in the concubine room here will inevitably be wronged and give half of the room to Wang Shu.

Who's happy to be even? How comfortable it is to live in one room by one, who is willing to share it with others?

Before Liang could say this, someone spoke in advance.

Liu Ruhui was the first to show her attitude: "...... The concubine has asthma, and she can't smell anything else on weekdays. The house has always been spacious, so that it cannot be crowded. My sister knows about the concubine's old problem. It is a difficult time for the family now, and the concubine does not want to drag people down because of her weak body. Such a few people squeezing into a room with concubines can also save some trouble. ”

Mei Shi is not far behind: "The concubine's house is the smallest, and it is too difficult to turn around if you live alone, and you can't accommodate two people." ”

When it was Yang's turn, she didn't bother to talk about whether she was sick or not, so she made it clear that she was not happy.

After saying this, several pairs of eyes fell on Wen's body. The meaning is quite clear, so she can only give in. Wen looked at Mei and Liu on the left, and Yang on the right. One or two, all use her as a soft persimmon to pinch it?

The Wen family is not as noble as these eunuchs in the capital, but here is the Liangzhou Mansion and Lin'an County. Her Wen family has now surpassed the Wang family to become the richest man, and in this territory, she may not be able to tell who is more effective than whom!

With a bad breath in his heart, Wen also hardened. Why did she let it? She just won't let it! Without those slaves who use methods to scare people, aren't these women falling down when the wind blows?

Wen stiffened his neck, and the atmosphere suddenly became deadlocked.

Wang Shu stood in the middle of the room without saying a word, and she didn't say that Xiao Yanxing had mentioned that she would live in the front yard. Wait for the Liang family to arrange.

The Liang family got a good face from Xiao Yanxing, so they naturally wanted to make the back house better. This Wen just didn't give her face, but it just angered the Liang family. Liang's face turned gloomy for a moment, and he coldly scolded: "Kneel! ”

Wen subconsciously trembled, but in an instant, he reacted again and straightened his waist.

The Xiao family is like this, what is she afraid of the Liang family?

Could it be that she is far away in the Guogong Mansion in the capital and has the clairvoyance to listen to the wind, knowing that the Liang family was provoked by the concubine here, and sent someone to clean her up? Then why don't you see the people from the Guogong Mansion to stop the officers and soldiers from raiding their homes? The noblewomen who are really favored at home should be like the Lin family, before they knew that something happened to the Abolished Prince's Mansion, their mother's family would send someone to pick them up in advance!

It is obvious that these women are swollen and fat, and Wen is not easy to fool: "I don't kneel." They are all concubines, why should I let them? ”

"You!" Liang didn't expect a merchant girl to dare to contradict her, "Come on, give me a palm!" ”

In the past, Liang was accustomed to punishing people. Either the mouth of the hand, or the hot day, punish the person to stand under the sun. But this time she shouted angrily for a long time, and there was no one in the house who heard the wind to act as a thug for her.

Liang stood up angrily at this moment. Standing up, he was tall but not as tall as Wen's. The thin body is not even more domineering, and it can't suppress people.

Only then did Wen really realize that without those bluffing servants, Liang was actually just a paper tiger.

"I look at my sister's house, it's quite big, and there is a side room." Wen's courage also became bigger, "My sister dominates two rooms alone, so it's better to give one to Wang Shu." Wang Shu is also very talkative, but she likes to tinker with some stinky flower fertilizer in the yard. ”

Wang Shu stood silently to the side, looking at his nose and nose and heart: "......"

"Presumptuous! Licentious! Liang was so angry that his hand slapped the table with a bang.

Several women were arguing in the yard, and Mama Yuan rushed over from the front yard, and she heard Liang roaring from afar. It wasn't a good thing to look at, so she didn't come in. Standing outside the house and listening to a lot of words, I waited for the room to calm down before I found the right time to come in.

Liang's face turned pale with anger, and he leaned on the chair with his chest clutched and panted.

Mama Yuan gave the little girl behind her a look.

The girl staggered out and made a cup of tea. After waiting for Liang to take a few sips to relieve his stomach, Mama Liang spoke: "Don't make any noise, masters." ”

In a word, the ladies with different expressions in the room sat up straight.

Mama Yuan is a symbol of the master in the house, and many of her words represent the meaning of the master. The commotion in the house was so ugly, and at this time, several concubines looked dodgy, and they were all a little uncomfortable. The most decent and noble ladies in the past are essentially just vulgar people. Once in a predicament, the pie is no different from the shrew in the market.

"Master, the master is back." As soon as Mama Yuan spoke, even Liang's face was a little bruised and purple, which was very unsightly, "The house is not enough, the house is too small, it is indeed a grievance to everyone." What the master meant, since there is no more person living in the back house, he asked Wang Xiaojun to move to the front yard. ”

At this sentence, the whole room was dumbfounded.

Several people looked at each other, but they wanted to say that if this was the case, they were willing to give up the house and move to the front yard by themselves. But the appearance of the scramble is still vivid, and these rhetorical words are unspeakable. For a moment, his expression was even more embarrassed.

Wen looked at Wang Shu and gritted his teeth in anger. I kept cursing Wang Shu in my heart, why is it always so shitty luck!

Although others also envy Wang Shu, they hate the uninteresting Wen even more. If it weren't for the Wen family jumping out and not allowing Wang Shu to share her room, why would they be embarrassed in front of Mama Yuan?

Not to mention that Wang Shu moved into the front yard and was so angry that many people were holding their chests and wanted to get sick, just said that Liang was embarrassed by Wen's in public, and he really hated his heart.

She is used to being small-minded, and in the past, if others didn't provoke her, she would trample on it, so as to show her honor as a princess. Now that the crown princess has been skinned like this by the Wen family, it seems that she has returned to the time when she was a girl, and was secretly laughed at by other nobles that the Liang Guogong Mansion was poor and ruined. It was really a stab in Liang's heart and lungs.

"I must make her look good!" Since the Liang family meditated on the position of the crown princess, no one dared to disobey her like this, "Cheap maid! ”

Wen didn't know that he was completely hated by Liang.

While she was envious of Wang Shu's good luck, she was also thinking about a way out. The Xiao family saw that it was no longer good, and it had fallen to the bottom. The master has no fighting spirit, and only knows how to worship Buddha and Zen all day long, ignoring the world. Could it be that in the rest of her life, she will have to live in such embarrassment? The master's appearance and bearing are indeed heartbreaking, but the master is a living Bodhisattva, not close to women.

So what's the point of her staying here?

When she asked for this opportunity, she came in order to fight for the future. It's not about being widowed in a stretched day......

She had to find a way out of this kind of life, she was only sixteen years old, and her body was innocent.

There is more than one Xiao family who has this idea, but no one has the courage of the Wen family. Wen dared to think so in her heart, so she dared to really contact her mother's family in private. The Wen family does have many girls, and the girls who come out are not worth much. But this is not worth much, and it depends on the situation, if it can be proved that he has the ability and means, the head of the Wen family is also willing to pull it out.

The Wen family secretly contacted the Wen family, and Xiao Yanxing naturally knew. But he only ordered people to watch, and did not intervene.

The four beauties sent from the capital in the backyard were escorted away as maids by the officers and soldiers who raided the house in the process of raiding the house. Among them, many of them were deliberately done by Xiao Yanxing, but it was not an accident. This is the case with the raiding of the house, as long as the person is taken away, he will not be sent back. Although these few are in the back house, they can't get in the way, but it's better to send them away.

These are small things, and they have not even stirred up the slightest wave. The master didn't ask, and the people below shouldn't know.

The most important thing now is that a new general stationed in the border is about to take office, and the situation in the northwest is estimated to change drastically. Xiao Yanxing quietly looked at the secret letters sent from all over the country during this period of time, and said that these days should also be the gift of the new prince's canonization.

The old emperor was really favored by Xiao Chenghuan, and the new prince was even added to Enke. This year, an extra year of Enke will be opened, so that the students of Daqing will be grateful for the grace of the new prince. It can also be regarded as accumulating fame for Xiao Chenghuan.

Xiao Yanxing pointed his finger on the desk and made a beeping sound. There was no trace of anger in his indifferent expression, but the staff knew that he was unhappy in his heart, and he was also uncomfortable for his master.

is also a prince, and it is really chilling that the saint is so favoritism.

"This year's examiner was right."

Generally speaking, the examiner is appointed by the Son of Heaven, and then there are local state ministers and officials who distribute tasks and are responsible for invigilating the examination.

This year, Enke was added, and the chief examiner was Yang Cheng, a waiter from the Ministry of Rites. Guozi Priest Wine Zhou Chengheng is the assistant manager.

Yang Cheng is not an outsider, he is the biological father of the Yang family in the back house.

However, Yang Cheng has a lonely temperament, and he is quite a pure minister who is not afraid of power. At the same time, the Yang family was personally ordered by Empress Xiaoxian and sent to the prince's mansion. Yang Cheng refused, but he couldn't refuse. After all, royal orders are hard to push. It was precisely because of the fact that his daughter was forcibly sent to the Prince's Mansion that Yang Cheng had never given Xiao Yanxing a good look for many years.

Of course, these are just scratching the surface. Outsiders and even the old emperor thought that Yang Cheng hated the prince and never put this layer of in-law relationship at ease.

Such a reverie relationship is precisely the best. is that some people are suspicious, and they will only think that Yang Cheng and the prince do not deal with each other. Although Yang Cheng is lonely, he is not a person who does not know how to change. There are some things that are here, but it is also convenient for Xiao Yanxing to operate.

This time, the examiner is him, which makes people feel a lot of relief.

"Master, Li Nan and Wu Yue will pass through Youzhou and Yongzhou this year, and they will end up as students of Youzhou and Yongzhou." These two are Mr. Yan's beloved apprentices, and they are also the two most valued by Xiao Yanxing's students.

Solid knowledge, quick thinking, end, eight out of ten. Nine is the talent of Xie Yuan.

The two are quite talented, and their style is oriented. It may vary depending on the tastes of the examiner. If two people collide together, one of them will fall. Xiao Yanxing's meaning is naturally that the two of them are divided into two places for the imperial examination. The matter of student status is difficult for ordinary people, but Xiao Yanxing's subordinates operate it and act as students in the two places, which is easy.
