"The fourth hundred, Yang Zhen, a student of Guozijian. The four hundred and fifty-ninth place, Li Zhuming, from Hushui County, Qingzhou......"

The officials standing under the "Wall of Fame" sang loudly, and the moment he spoke, the originally noisy sound was invariably quiet.

Thousands of students listened with their ears pricked up, and when they heard their names, they either cried with joy or raised their arms and shouted.

"Erlang, why haven't you heard your name yet?" Auntie was a little anxious.

"Mother, it's only more than a hundred. Xu Lingyue soothed: "Didn't you say that the second brother is Huiyuan." ”

The aunt glared at her daughter, and the dead girl even dared to ridicule her.

"Erlang, it's not you yet. ”

When she was in her fifties, her aunt was even more anxious, and her brows were tightly knit.

"Wait. Xu Erlang frowned.

When the top ten of the list was sung, the aunt's face turned pale, and she felt that her son was going to fall off the list nine times out of ten.

Xu Xinnian's eyes showed apprehension and a little excitement, this is the trend of becoming benevolent if he doesn't succeed, thinking of the eldest brother's song "Difficult to Walk", as well as his usual accumulation, Erlang still has some confidence in his heart.

Finally, when the voice of the song remembered: "Jinke Huiyuan, Xu Xinnian, a student of Yunlu Academy, a native of Beijing." ”

There was a "boom" in my aunt's ear, like a scorching thunder explosion, and her whole body trembled violently.

This "scorching thunder" also exploded in the ears of thousands of students, and exploded in the ears of the surrounding people, and the first thought that came to their mind was: impossible!

It is impossible for the students of Yunlu Academy to become Huiyuan, the dispute between Confucian orthodoxy has lasted for two hundred years, and the students of Yunlu Academy have been suppressed in the officialdom, which is an indisputable fact.

In such a context, how could Hui Yuan be a student of Yunlu Academy?

The last person who became a scholar of Yunlu Academy who became a "Huiyuan" was a Ziyang monk twenty years ago. However, who are the Ziyang monks?

That's the four-grade Confucian.

Looking at it twenty years later, it is completely reasonable for him to become a huiyuan, or even a champion, and he is a hidden dragon.

However, to change his mind, this scholar, who was also born in Yunlu Academy, fought his way out of thousands of troops and became Huiyuan.

Does it mean that he also has great Confucian resources?

For a while, many people were excited.

These people are all rich men who catch sons-in-law on the list, or the scholar class.

There have been sons-in-law under the list since ancient times, and in the first year of Dafeng, although it is not popular, there are still many families who guard the apricot list to find a son-in-law.

is waiting for a scholar with outstanding qualifications and the qualifications of a hidden dragon, such as the current "Huiyuan" Xu Xinnian.

The catch of the son-in-law under the list is a joke, and the big family guards the apricot list, and when they see the scholar, they send someone to the house to talk about the matchmaker, and what they are fighting for is time.

Once the matchmaker is successful, the marriage will be decided, and if others want to rob it, they can't snatch it.

In the era when etiquette is more important than the sky, it is not to put pressure on the elders of the sect to disperse the qi of a grain, and say that if the marriage is ruined, the marriage will be ruined. Unless you don't want a bright future.

"Who is Xu Xinnian?"

"Who is Master Xu in the New Year?"

In the crowd, there were inquiries from time to time.

A student turned his head to look around, separated by a long sea of people, and saw Xu Xinnian with a dull face, and immediately shouted: "Say goodbye, congratulations." Xu Xinnian is there. ”

Hulala........ The first to rush over was not the students, but the people who intended to catch the list, and surrounded Xu Xinnian with his subordinates.

"Xu Huiyuan can have a marriage match? There is a daughter in the official's family, who is twenty-eight years old and beautiful like a flower. I am willing to marry my son. ”

"There is also an unmarried daughter in the official's family, who is proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. ”

Xu Xinnian retreated again and again.

Chun'er looked at it for a moment, and said happily: "It's really interesting to catch a person under the list, miss, I didn't expect Huiyuan to be that handsome scholar." ”

The voice fell, the curtain was suddenly lifted, her temperament was gentle, her cheeks were a little baby fat, and the sweet and hidden Miss Wang looked around for a moment, and said:

"Chun'er, go back. ”

On this side, Xu Xinnian, who had never seen such a battle, frowned.

Just as he was about to spit out the fragrance and drink away this group of uninteresting things, suddenly, he saw several people from the rivers and lakes rushing up with bad intentions, rushing into the "protective wall" formed by Hu Cong, intending to take advantage of his mother and sister.

Hu was forced to retreat again and again, and Aunt and Lingyue screamed in fright.

"Stop!"

Xu Erlang yelled.

But it didn't work, he couldn't stop so many people at all.

"Heh, such a scoundrel, he doesn't have the ability, but he is very good at fishing in troubled waters. The middle-aged swordsman saw this scene from a distance and was quite disdainful.

However, he didn't pay much attention to it, this little chaos would soon be stopped by the guards and the officers and soldiers, but the two beautiful women were probably frightened.

"Stop!"

Suddenly, a deafening sound exploded, this time it was not a psychological explosion, but a real thunder explosion, which shocked more than 1,000 people present with dizziness and ringing in their ears.

The commotion stopped at once.

On the wall of the Tribute Courtyard, there stood a young man dressed in a dress and embroidered with a silver gong. He pressed the knife with one hand, and his sharp eyes swept over the gang of troublemakers.

At the same time, the officers and soldiers and watchmen squeezed through the crowd and finally arrived.

The moment she saw Xu Qi'an, the aunt was relieved, as if she had something to rely on, and the mother and daughter breathed a sigh of relief.

"Take those troublemakers away. Xu Qi'an pointed out a few people from the rivers and lakes one by one, and a few gongs around him immediately went up to get people.

The students below recognized Xu Qi'an, were quite surprised, and shouted: "It's Xu Shikui!"

"I've seen Xu Shikui!"

Many students in the capital greeted each other with a respectful attitude, as if they were greeting their seniors and teachers.

In fact, Xu Qi'an really deserves such treatment, just with his few masterpieces, even if he is an arrogant reader, he does not dare to show arrogance in front of him.

But the foreign students didn't know Xu Qi'an's identity, and called him a watchman, which was originally quite disdainful, but the attitude of the scholars in the capital made them realize that this young Yingong's identity was not ordinary.

"Brother Tai, who is this person? is so flamboyant, he looks like a martial artist. ”

"You don't know him...... Oh, you're not from the capital. This adult's name is Xu Qi'an, Xu Qi'an who has a dark fragrance floating in the dusk of the moon. ”

“...... It turned out to be him, and he was really a talent, extraordinary in his instrument, and when he was a real person, he was admired by people. ”

Now, students from other places will know who he is. Xu Qi'an still has a lot of "illegitimate meals", and with the copied poems, he has gained a large number of fans in the Dafeng reading group.

For a while, the unmath student greeted him and shouted "Xu Shikui".

"It's so majestic......" Xu Lingyue muttered.

"Truly majestic......"

In the distance, Miss Rong Rong looked at the young man on the wall with admiration in her eyes.

"Obviously I'm the protagonist......" Xu Xinnian muttered quietly.

............

Xu Xinnian not only won the tribute, but also the head of the tribute: Huiyuan!

This is something that the whole family did not expect.

The aunt was as happy as Fan Jin in women's clothes, and she almost fainted with her eyelids.

The second uncle was also very happy, and decided to hold a banquet at home, inviting his clansmen and colleagues to come over for a drink. Now that the Xu family is generous, there is no pressure to set up a flowing water banquet for three days and three nights.

After lunch, Xu Erlang put down his chopsticks, looked at Xu Qi'an, and said, "Is the eldest brother still going to patrol the streets today?"

Xu Qi'an shook his head.

He is a silver gong, and street patrols are usually based on mood, not mandatory. Moreover, now that the apricot list has been revealed, thousands of students have gone back to their homes and looked for their mothers, and the pressure on public security is not as great as in the morning.

Xu Erlang bowed his head, got up, lifted one hand on his abdomen, pinned the other hand behind his back, and said lightly: "Then the eldest brother will work harder, help me guard the door, there will be annoying flies to disturb me in the afternoon, I will not see anything!"

This posture is usually seen on respected old masters, or officials.

Hey, this little guy is still pretending........ The corners of Xu Qi'an's mouth twitched.

Xu Xinnian's arrogant personality was inherited from his aunt. However, the poisonous tongue attribute was created by him, and his aunt's scolding skills were very ordinary, otherwise he would not have been yelled at by Xu Qi'an.

Xu Qi'an returned to the room and sat at the desk, worried about Xu Erlang's future.

"Erlang won the Huiyuan, which I didn't expect, and the next step is the palace exam in a month. After the palace test, the back hand I buried can be used (Zhao Langzhong, the Ministry of Literature.........

"Staying in the capital is only the first step, if you want Erlang to be a useful person for me, then you have to find a backer for him. Otherwise, with his identity as a student of Yunlu Academy, he would be mixed in the Qingshui Yamen for the rest of his life.........

"Duke Wei is not the Imperial History of the Left Capital of the Imperial Court now, and I don't know if such an important position can be taken back. However, Erlang can't take refuge in Wei Yuan, and he can't have anything to do with him, otherwise he will be branded as a "eunuch" like me.

"Eggs can't be put in one basket, I have to find a way to find a backer for him, so that our brothers can hope to combine the two and dominate the court in the future. ”

Xu Qi'an said before that he wanted to train Xu Xinnian to be the first assistant of the Great Feng, which was of course a joke, but he did have the idea of "promoting" Xu Erlang.

After experiencing so many things and offending so many people, this idea has become clearer and more profound.

First of all, Xu Erlang's own talent is excellent, he follows the orthodox system of Confucianism, his scheming methods are not bad, and he has been training in officialdom for several years, and he is definitely a god teammate.

But the disadvantages of Confucian orthodoxy are also obvious - no mother's child!

"Princess Huaiqing is a female stream, I suspect that she has secretly cultivated forces, but what Erlang wants is a solid backer, not an underground party.

"The prince's words, after the Fu Concubine case, I broke up with Concubine Chen's mother-in-law, so the prince didn't think about it. Moreover, the prince's rank is too low to be worthy of my family's Erlang. For the same reason, the Four Princes also passed. ”

After going through his mind, he found that he couldn't find a suitable backer in the civil official group.

Call....... Forget it, there's no hurry. After the palace tried, Erlang's matter will come to an end for the time being, and the next thing I have to be wary of is the envoy group of the Buddha Gate, as well as the dispute between Li Miaozhen and Chu Yuanzhen....... Hey, this kind of Taoist dispute is the most troublesome, Xu Qi'an pinched his eyebrows, and said in a low voice:

"And for me, the most important thing is to be promoted to the Bronze Skin and Iron Bone Realm as soon as possible. ”

He washed his face and went out, Xu Yinluo Rili Wanji, how could he have time to give a mere Xu Erlang to watch the door.

Riding on the little mare, carrying the two copies of Zhong Li's yard, Xu Qi'an quickly entered the imperial city, and took out the waist jade given by Lin'an, and came to Shaoyin Yuan under the leadership of Yu Linwei.

For Xu Qi'an's surprise visit, Lin'an said that he was very happy and asked the palace maid to serve the best tea and the most delicious pastries to entertain the dog slaves.

"How is Your Highness doing?" asked Xu Qi'an.

Lin'an sighed, her peach blossom eyes were no longer charming, and she hung her head down: "The mother concubine cries to me every day, saying that she was bullied by the queen in the harem, and she will not be able to live anymore." ”

What about the people behind Concubine Chen, don't you help........ Well, Concubine Chen is a qualified palace fighting expert, so she shouldn't be so bad, she should be deliberately pretending to be pitiful in front of Lin'an, and want to try to save the country....... Xu Qi'an was surprised:

"The queen deceived people too much, Your Highness, you just watched Concubine Chen being humiliated in the harem?"

"Then I can't fight Huaiqing, and besides, I don't think the mother concubine is as miserable as she said. She said aggrievedly.

"You're looking for Your Majesty. Xu Qi'an said tentatively.

"Go down first. Lin'an waved away the palace maid.

The room fell silent, and no one spoke for a long time.

"Dog Minion ......"

She let out a feeble cry.

"Well, Your Highness, you say. ”

"When the prince's brother was imprisoned in Dali Temple, I went to beg my father, but my father didn't see me, so I stood in the cold for two hours, and Huaiqing drove me back........"

Lin'an lowered his head sadly, a little beast with low self-esteem, "At that time, I thought, maybe my father doesn't love me so much." After the Prince's brother had an accident, my brothers and sisters stopped playing with me, and I realized that they didn't really like me either........"

Her eyebrows were raised, her clear and charming peach blossom eyes were dim, and she hung her head slightly, where was the princess, she was clearly an aggrieved and pitiful girl.

Xu Qi'an knew that His Royal Highness Lin'an's trust in him was bursting, so he unloaded the pride of the princess in front of him, revealing that she was just a girl who was not too stupid, but not smart.

These things have been held in her heart for a long time........ At least she realized this reality after the prince's accident....... But she didn't show it, and still maintained her princess pride.

Until the end of Concubine Fu's case, she realized the truth behind the case........ How was she feeling at the time? sadness, helplessness, disappointment?

This princess is delicate and willful on the outside, but she is actually a paper tiger with a fierce appearance, she will only shout when she is wronged, and she bears the grievances that are really heart-wrenching.

In essence, she is actually a submissive woman, beautiful, but also strong on the outside.

Lin'an's eyes gradually blurred, and she felt much better when she said these words, although the dog slave couldn't give her anything, and she was hesitant to help her uphold justice in front of Huaiqing, but he was able to offend Huaiqing for himself, and Lin'an was already very happy in his heart.

Suddenly, a hand pressed against her head and rubbed it.

Lin An raised his head in surprise, only to find that the dog slave didn't know when to come to his side, and there was a helplessness in his eyes to mourn his misfortune and hate it.

"Your Highness, I will accompany you. ”

Lin'an's face turned red a little, and he said like a mosquito: "You, don't touch my head....... I'll be angry. ”

Xu Qi'an rebelled against the order of Her Royal Highness the princess, rubbed it vigorously, and messed up his hair.

Lin An opened his peach blossom eyes vigorously and glared at him, as if he used the majesty of his princess to force back the dog slave. But although her eyes are charming and affectionate, they are really not lethal.

Lin'an lowered his head again.

Hawkers,To deal with a girl with this kind of character,Appropriate domineering,And stalking is the best way........ If it were Huaiqing, I might have been stabbed to death with a sword.......

The ambiguous atmosphere fermented between the two of them.

Xu Qi'an withdrew his hand in time, took out the script of "The Great Sage of Love" from his arms, put it in front of Lin'an, and said with a smile:

"It's an interesting book that I get occasionally, and the princess likes to listen to stories, and she will surely like to read them. However, don't say I sent it. ”

Lin'an's attention was immediately attracted by "The Great Sage of Love".

"If you feel bored staying in the palace, you might as well move to Lin'an Mansion, so that you can play with you every day, and you can also take you out secretly. ”

After a few words, he took his leave and left.

"Xu Qi'an!"

Lin'an shouted to him, puffing out his cheeks, and threatening fiercely: "Today's events must not be spread outside, otherwise, otherwise it will ........"

I want to say, "Otherwise, I'll cut off your head", but I'm a little reluctant.

"Got it. Xu Qi'an said.

.........

Xu Qi'an left Shaoyin Yuan and said to Yu Linwei, "If the official still asks to see the eldest princess, you can take me there." ”

"It's not in order. Yu Linwei shook his head.

"I can go and wait outside Miyagi, so it's in order. Xu Qi'an quietly stuffed a silver ticket of ten taels of silver.

Yu Linwei agreed to him, took Xu Qi'an out of the palace, asked him to wait outside the palace, and went in to pass the word himself.

When a stick of incense didn't arrive, Yu Linwei returned and said, "Princess Huaiqing is invited." ”

Xu Qi'an raised the corner of his mouth, stretched out his hand and pressed it on his chest, and said in his heart, Huaiqing, Huaiqing, let's see the power of the domineering female president and the silly white sweet little scholar.

It's sure to hit your cool spots.
