Suddenly, his face turned red, and he jumped out of bed and went to the ground to look for it.

The clothes on the ground were still scattered aside, Mo Sui didn't dare to come in, and naturally no one cleaned up the messy clothes on the ground. Wang Shu rummaged on the ground barefoot, and finally found the purse.

Xiao Yanxing didn't know what she was looking for, so he followed.

"The old man told me to open it later." Wang Shu is not persuasive, she will open it now.

Inside was a small stack of paper and a jade seal. The jade seal is engraved with a deformed bird or a small seal. Wang Shu didn't recognize it. But when the paper is opened, it contains a lot of things. There was a roster with the names of many people. There is also a construction sketch on water conservancy. Wang Shu thought for a while and handed the thing to Xiao Yanxing's hand, "Master, look." ”

Xiao Yanxing looked at the list, and his face changed instantly: "Mo Sui, call everyone to the study." ”

Mo Sui waited outside the house, and immediately answered the summons when he heard the summons in the house.

Xiao Yanxing's injuries are not yet complete, and his clothes are easy to rub against the wounds. Wang Shu rarely acted as a personal maid and rummaged through his wardrobe. Finally, he found a loose monk's robe and put it on for him.

Xiao Yanxing looked down at the person who tied the belt for him, and suddenly remembered an unfounded joke from Mother Yang's in his mind. Wang Shu Wang.

Wang Shu was stared at strangely by him, frowning and looking up at him.

Xiao Yanxing laughed, lowered his head and pecked her on the lips, then turned around and went out.

Wang Shu: What the hell is ......?

Xiao Yan walked to the study, and everyone had already arrived. The old man surnamed Sun was also there, and knelt down when he saw Xiao Yanxing.

At the same time, the Qionglin banquet in the capital is about to end.

Unexpectedly, the top three in the new department were all young people, which surprised the saint today. I heard that the court praised loudly, and the young man was talented. The leader of the list who won the title of champion is the youngest, and now he will be eighteen. It is a remote place in the northwest from a poor family, not to mention the appearance of a handsome leader, with quick thinking and a bypass.

Although the list is slightly inferior, it is not yet the age of the year of establishment. There will be four out of twenty. is not as good as the champion and a talent, but anyone who sees it must praise a sentence of elegance and decency. Not to mention Tanhualang, he is thirty years old. The face is like a crown of jade, and the appearance is extremely prosperous. If it weren't for the extreme outstandingness in appearance, he would not have been hand-picked by the saint in court to explore the flowers.

The list is a cloth, and the three young talents ride horses on Gold Street, which has caused a sensation.

On this day, the ladies of the family don't have to worry about being reserved and go to join in the fun. The entire street was full. After discovering the appearance of the new top three, there were bursts of cheers, and countless silk handkerchiefs floated down from both sides.

Gu Fei rode in the first position, and his chest was already full of flowers.

He seemed to be undisturbed, and his gaze was far away from a gentle and touching woman in an open window on the second floor of Yumanlou. The woman also seemed to notice that he had seen her, and her face was flushed. The noise around him could not be heard, and he stared quietly at the woman's delicate face, which was full of dark waves.

For this wife who has been with him all his life to old age, if he says that there is no affection, it is absolutely impossible.

Gu Fei respects her and is grateful to her for giving birth to children for him and running the family. Everything the Liu family has done for him, he naturally does not deny it. But none of this can make him relieved of one thing - Liu Ruyan poisoned his Shu'er.

Gu Fei calmly looked away and didn't look at it again.

In this life, he can protect her for a smooth life, but he will not marry her again.

Chapter Seventy-Seven

In his previous life, he was poor and afraid. Because of the poverty of the family since childhood, the family is forced to make a living, and the life is embarrassing.

My father lived all his life by reminiscing about the glory of the Gu family's ancestors. In the daytime, the loess is turned to the sky, and at night it is necessary to lament that it is not the right time. Life was stretched, and the child was hungry and thin. I broke my leg and couldn't afford to get a doctor, so I couldn't get up after lying on the couch for several years. In order to save a few copper plates, my mother told people to die in front of the bed.

Gu Fei has been wise since he was a child, and he can remember things when he is three or four years old, and his memory is so good that he can never forget it. What happened to his parents and his family, he saw it all from a very young age.

He was never ashamed of his desire to climb up.

Gu Fei felt that the first thing he realized after learning about things was not that he was born with intelligence that was different from ordinary people, but that he was unwilling. He is not willing to be like this all his life, and he is not as good as a pig and a dog. Struggling to grow up to the age of fourteen or fifteen, marry a country woman who was raised by the family as a slave to pigs, and give birth to a group of offspring as numb as pigs.

He wants to be a master, he wants to have a decent life. This ambition has been deeply ingrained in his bones since he saw his mother break his kneecap for a porcelain bowl. Like a maggot on the tarsal bone, it follows you like a shadow.

So whenever he had the opportunity to read and write, he took every opportunity to read.

was chosen by Wang Shu, which was the best favor he received in the first half of his life. Because of her favor, he had the opportunity to read and write. Because of her sponsorship, he didn't have to grow up like a wild dog. can read and write, can distinguish between right and wrong, and the mud-like life has completely turned on another road to Kangtan. In the years since the early death of his parents, Shu'er has accompanied him through the most difficult ten years.

No one knew what Wang Shu meant to him, but Liu Ruyan poisoned her.

Gu Fei rode his horse and walked slowly towards the center of the street, smiling and waving to the people on both sides, while the memories in his mind kept rolling.

He was very grateful for everything Liu Ruyan had done for him, and he knew very well that the Liu family's favor was very heavy. It is undeniable that Shu'er is the first benefactor in his life, and Liu Ruyan is the second. It is precisely because of this favor that he and Liu Ruyan have respected each other for 20 years. Tepid and no disputes. But when he was dying, he would rather be resented by his children, and he insisted on choosing to be buried in a barren mountain and sleep with Shu'er.

In this life, he is still unwilling to live in a poor mountain for the rest of his life, but he will no longer be as eager as in his previous life. Qingyun Road he will continue to walk step by step, and he will spend his life to compensate for his beloved, and he must not leave regrets in this life.

It takes a day to ride a horse on Jin Street, and the first day is over, and the next day is the Qionglin Banquet.

The Qionglin banquet was very grand, and the court really gave it enough dignity. In addition to the invigilator's several important ministers who accompanied the whole process, too. Zi also came out of the banquet and showed his face. This group of new science and technology scholars will be the protégés of the Son of Heaven from now on. The top three of the new branch are all young talents, which is something that has not been done in the past hundred years. There are many talents, which makes Xiao Chenghuan so unhappy.

As soon as he ascended to the position of prince, young talents sprung up like mushrooms after a rain. This is the heavens affirming him and sending him an excellent team. Xiao Chenghuan, for the sake of his cousin's closeness and grace, specially gave wine to the top three at the banquet.

Too. The son gives wine. Jinke Sanjia naturally couldn't help but drink, and they all stood up and drank this glass of wine respectfully. If you drink wine, you will accept this solicitation. Xiao Chenghuan was very satisfied, and personally gave the three of them a reprimand, and then left satisfied.

Too. As soon as the people left, the two Jinshi around them rushed up and complimented the three people who were given wine.

Gu Fei is the most valued as the champion, and he is surrounded in the middle, and he has a unique honor. The people around him toasted one after another, and the words of compliment were endless. He didn't mess around at all, and he coped with these human contacts with ease.

Although the official sitting at the top has never opened his mouth, he is also silently observing the newcomer. Gu Fei, the champion of the three yuan and the first, naturally bore the brunt.

In fact, the ministers had been observing Gu Fei since the banquet began.

Although Gu Fei is young, his performance at this Qionglin banquet is extremely good, and he really has hills and valleys in his chest. Even the noble children who have a deep family background and are carefully cultivated are not necessarily better at dealing with people than him. Anyone who knows Gu Feidi knows that this new champion is from a poor family, and at this time, he can't help but sigh that this son is naturally smart, good at observing people's hearts, and talented.

Many adults nodded their heads again and again, and some of them were already secretly planning to win him over.

It seems that the starting point of this kind of three-yuan and first-place gold list is higher than that of ordinary Jinshi. As long as you don't die in the future, and your means are more slick, you will definitely be able to become a great tool.

While greeting people, Gu Fei was also paying close attention to the movements of the top officials. Seeing that they glanced over from time to time, their eyes fell on Liu Yuan, the Qing of the Honglu Temple. This is his father-in-law in his previous life, and he is also a noble man on his Qingyun Road. Now this Lord Liu is also looking at him, as if he is looking at something.

He pretended not to know, and turned to talk to his colleagues again.

This Qionglin Banquet is a good time to make connections. Now that they have only been on the list, they have not been appointed by the imperial court, and they have never been up and down in the officialdom, so their minds at this time are naturally quite simple. If you make good friends and help each other in the officialdom in the future, it is a good connection. At the same time, Gu Fei has the memories of his previous life as a guide, so he naturally knows who to make friends with and who to stay away from.

Between pushing the cup and changing the lamp, everyone talked about the past and the present.

A Qionglin banquet was over, and it was already dark.

It's not cold on April nights. The breeze is gentle, and the vegetation on both sides is abundant. Kyoto is always lively, and it is lit up even at night. Because of today's Xidengke, the imperial court released the list, and the East Street was full of lights, which was very lively. Compared with small places such as Liangzhou, it is completely two worlds.

Gu Fei was helped out by the palace attendants after being drunk with alcohol, and someone outside the door had already thoughtfully prepared a carriage to send him back.

Everyone knows that the new champion is from a poor family and shy in his pocket, and many people who want to tie the knot are naturally very considerate. Gu Fei was toasted a lot at the banquet, and he could barely maintain his consciousness. It's just that the body is young in the end, not the amount of alcohol that I have practiced in my previous life, and at this time there is a bit of vanity that is not enough to drink. He looked up and breathed a long sigh of relief, feeling glad in his heart.

Everything starts from scratch, and he still has a chance to recover.

There is a bright moon in the sky, and the moon stars are scarce. A cool breeze blew from the end of the road, causing the lanterns to flutter under the houses on both sides. The long dimly lit street was deserted of pedestrians, and the air was filled with the smell of incense and candles.

The lights in the houses on both sides are revealed, and the sound of children crying can be heard from time to time.

Gu Fei leaned on the carriage and slowly walked towards the alley where he was temporarily staying in Beijing. Xu is the old scene reappeared, and many memories that had been buried in his heart in his previous life couldn't help but come to mind. He suddenly remembered the bits and pieces of his previous life when he went to Beijing to take the exam. At that time, Shu'er followed him into Beijing without hesitation, and the two were intimate. was young in high school, with his wife by his side, it was a rare happy moment in his two lives.

Without Wang Shu's help in this life, there is naturally no way to have a mansion as soon as he enters Beijing. Now Gu Fei is temporarily living in the study alley where the students temporarily live.

The alleys are a bit far away, and you have to pass through a lot of narrow alleys. Because it was already dark at night, the coachman had no scruples about driving the car and drove very fast. The carriage crossed the intersection, and it was so dark that it almost collided with a rushing carriage in front of it.

Although the coachman reined in time, nothing happened. But I was still scared out of a cold sweat. The coachman was sent by the master to receive the new champion, and he was afraid of disturbing the nobles in the car by driving like this, so he hurriedly reprimanded the driver on the other side with a white face. The coachman on the other side was also in a hurry to rush back, and immediately replied. The two sides were a little unhappy, so they refused to give in to each other.

Gu Fei drank a lot of wine at the banquet, and his head was drowsy and he couldn't hear clearly. The noise outside the car made his head hurt suddenly, and he was about to ask the driver to stop the noise when he heard a female voice outside the curtain.

After a while, a woman dressed as a woman got out of the carriage.

The woman was not polite, and directly accused the coachman of startling her carriage by rushing out of the alley first. When she spoke like this, the coachman was not happy, so he naturally wanted to argue with her.

Gu Fei was so uncomfortable with the noise that he opened his eyes, lifted the curtain of the car, and prepared to call back the driver to give way. As a result, the curtain was lifted, and the person who lifted the curtain on the opposite carriage looked at each other. Perhaps because it was dark at night, the faces of the people in the car were not covered. By the light of the lanterns on the side of the street, a delicate face made Gu Fei look straight at it.

is not someone else, it is Liu Ruyan who went out and returned late because of something.

The woman's eyes widened in surprise as if she hadn't expected him. After looking at Gu Fei's calm eyes, his face blushed unconsciously. She lowered the curtain in a bit of a panic and whispered to the woman who was arguing outside.

The woman also realized that her master was annoyed, and did not dare to delay at the moment, so she hurried back to the carriage.

Gu Fei also asked the driver to come back, stop and give way: "Let the girl go first." ”

The coachman was specially sent by the master of the family to take care of Gu Fei, so it was naturally based on his wishes. immediately did not argue with the person opposite, and drove the carriage aside in a slippery manner, and let Liu Ruyan's carriage go first.

When the two carriages passed by, the curtain of the Liu family's carriage moved.

Gu Fei's eyes darkened slightly, he lowered the curtain, closed his eyes and leaned against the wall of the carriage to pretend to sleep. And when the order of the imperial court comes down, he can go to see Shu'er. No matter which family the Wang family's housewife promised Shu'er to, he was bound to bring people back.

At the same time, there was silence in the study room of Beizhuang on the outskirts of Suizhou.

The old gentleman surnamed Sun knelt on the ground and confided in everything that happened in Jiangnan during this time. Since the problem of flooding in early January was resolved, officials who went south to control the floods have encountered accidents one by one. This old gentleman surnamed Sun is not an outsider, but Cheng Mingsi's friend in Jiangnan. Former Jiangnan Prefecture pastor Sun Yeping, the boss of Zhishi a year ago.

There was such a big mistake in the Jiangnan flood this time, and the current prince not only did not seek a solution, but was greedy for disaster relief. As a result, people have been displaced and their lives have been destroyed. Sun Yeping, who had already returned to his hometown, couldn't sit idly by, so he kept paying attention to it secretly.

After perceiving that the current prince was ruthless and tried to cover up the truth and monopolize the merits of the water control officials, he used his family power to obstruct him.

The main family of the Sun family is in Jiangnan, and there are naturally some forces in the local area. With his intervention, Cheng Mingsi was hidden in time to avoid the result of several masters and apprentices being intercepted and killed. But he didn't expect the prince to be so frustrated, and after realizing that the Sun family dared to obstruct him, he coerced and lured the local forces to join forces against the Sun family.

No matter how powerful the Sun family is, it can't stand the joint rectification. Because of this, he was the only one who escaped.

The Sun family is now locked up in the dungeon of Suzhou Prefecture, and their fate is uncertain. But Sun Yeping did not regret it.

Scholars should take their homes as their homes, their townships as their hometowns, their countries as their countries, and their worlds as their worlds. He once ate the king's fortune, so he naturally wanted to be loyal to the king. It is what he should do to give up his small family for the people of the world and ask for his life for the people.

However, recalling the old wife who left because of this incident, Sun Yeping couldn't help but burst into tears: "Your Highness, I would like to ask you to uphold justice for my Sun family!" ”

Xiao Yanxing personally helped him up, and he was quite moved in his heart.

Xiao Chenghuan will be able to cause such a big disaster next time. If he is allowed to do anything wrong, Daqing will have to die at his hands. There is no need for others to deliberately persuade him, and Xiao Yanxing will never allow him to continue to sit in the position of the prince. It is imperative to sue Xiao Chenghuan this time, even if he can't pull people off the horse at one time, he must pay the price for Xiao Chenghuan, a bastard.

"Where is Master Cheng now? Are you okay? ”

Sun Yeping wiped his tears and nodded, "Lord Cheng is a little injured, but he is fine." Hidden in a village of the Sun family. ”

Knowing that Cheng Mingsi was fine, Xiao Yanxing was relieved.

As long as Cheng Mingsi is still alive, Xiao Chenghuan's guilt has a great chance of winning. Sun Yeping also weighed it for a long time before he thought of coming to find the abolished prince. Originally, like many old ministers, he just wanted to remain neutral and maintain the glory and stability of his family during his lifetime. But now that they have reached this point, they have no choice but to get involved in this struggle for imperial power.

"Find an opportunity to pick up Master Cheng as soon as possible." This matter cannot be delayed, and it is dangerous to delay it for a day.

As for the Sun family, they will arrange someone to save them afterwards.

Because of Sun Yeping's appearance, the progress of the case in Jiangnan has been greatly promoted. The list he gave Wang Shu was the people involved in the corruption of the disaster relief funds. Xiao Yanxing glanced at ten lines, and there were as many as twenty people on it. In addition to this list of personnel, there is also some evidence that Xiao Chenghuan intercepted and killed important ministers of the imperial court. These things were carefully hidden by Sun Yeping on his body and handed over to Wang Shu.

Originally, he wanted to borrow the hands of the Wang family to hide the evidence, and then unknowingly bring it out of Jiangnan. If he were to die in the future, this evidence would not fall into the hands of the wicked. Originally, Sun Yeping handed it over for the sake of the Wang family's goodness and trust in the Wang family, which was convenient for Xiao Yanxing at this time.

Xiao Yanxing looked at it carefully, and his face was very ugly.

The door of the study was never opened from noon until the moon.

He woke up unconscious, and this was all night to deal with affairs. Mo Sui was worried that his master would hurt his body if he stayed up like this, so he had already gone to the door a few times. But as a person who served closely, he also knew Xiao Yanxing's temperament, and he didn't dare to persuade him when it was important. After thinking about it, he hit Wang Shu's head with the idea.

Wang Shu is replying to the shopkeepers in various places, instructing the next regulations, and she has a lot of things on hand.
