Strange thing?"

Xu Qi'an pulled out a chair and sat down, and instructed Su Su to pour water for himself.

I'm not your concubine yet, so I'm calling people......... The glamorous ghost Su Su glanced at him, and obediently poured water, after all, she was talking about the tragedy of her family's annihilation.

She has to rely on this man to help, otherwise she and her master Li Miaozhen alone will not be able to find out that she is ugly for ten years.

Waiting for Xu Qi'an to take a sip of tea, Li Miaozhen said:

"Su Su's father is called Su Hang, a Jinshi in the 29th year of Joan of Arc, and in the 14th year of Yuanjing, for unknown reasons, he was demoted back to Jiangzhou as the prefect, and the following year he was beheaded on charges of bribery and corruption. ”

Xu Qi'an rubbed the teacup and asked, "What's the problem?"

"Yes," Li Miaozhen looked sideways at Su Su, "she doesn't remember that she was in the capital." Su Su's soul is complete, when my master found her, she absorbed the Yin Qi cultivation of the mass grave, and she was a little successful, as long as she did not leave the mass grave, she could survive forever.

"The resentful soul of such a cultivation will not miss the memory, unless the memory is erased during her lifetime. ”

Su Su said: "Maybe, maybe I haven't been to the capital before." ”

Xu Qi'an shook his head: "Whoever enters Beijing as an official, his family members must move to the capital." I'm more inclined to have a problem with Susu's memory before his death, well, it's kind of interesting. ”

The two of them were silent for a moment, and Xu Qi'an said: "Since he is a Beijing official, then the officials will have his information........ The Ministry of Officials is the territory of Wang Shoufu, and he and Wei Yuan are political enemies, and there is no reason for me to check the case of the Ministry of Officials.

"So don't be in a hurry, just wait for your chance. ”

Li Miaozhen and Su Su nodded.

Xu Qi'an took a sip of warm tea and said, "What is your brother's name?

Su Su tilted his head and thought for a while: "It's called Su Chengzhi, the year of the family accident, he was about eleven or twelve years old. ”

Now that he is about thirty-one or twelve years old, this brother-in-law can't find it, it's like looking for a needle in a haystack........ It would be nice if Dabong had a well-developed public security system........ Xu Qi'an hinted:

"I'll try to find it for you, but don't get your hopes up. ”

Su Su said "um", knowing that it was too difficult to find relatives, so he didn't force it.

After this matter was resolved, Xu Qi'an mentioned the second thing, looked at Li Miaozhen, and said, "When do you plan to start the battle between heaven and man?"

Li Miaozhen didn't hesitate, "First make a war letter, and then make an appointment, within seven days." ”

Xu Qi'an nodded slowly, and said his thoughts bluntly: "Before the battle between heaven and man is over, you'd better leave the capital otherwise." No matter what kind of letter you receive or who you contact, don't leave. ”

Li Miaozhen raised her eyebrows, "Are you saying that someone will be unfavorable to me?"

"It's obvious. Xu Qi'an sighed: "If you have an accident in the capital, the Dao head of the Heavenly Sect will give up? ”

Su Su straightened her paper chest, and looked arrogant: "Knowing that our Dao head is a good product, who else dares to be unfavorable to the master?"

Xu Qi'an felt sorry for the IQ of the female ghost: "Your father is a Jinshi anyway, but you don't inherit your father's intelligence at all......... It is precisely because Miaozhen is the holy daughter of Tianzong that she attracts people's attention.

"Your Majesty is obsessed with monasticism, and in order to maintain the stability of power, it has contributed to the current situation of multi-party chaos in the court. In this regard, some people have long been dissatisfied. The battle between heaven and man is a good opportunity for them to take advantage of..........

"In addition, everyone knows about this matter, and people from the rivers and lakes are pouring into Beijing, and there must be spies from other countries mixed with them. These people can't wait for Li Miaozhen to die in the capital. ”

Su Su suddenly realized.

"You are the fourth grade of the Daomen, and the idlers are not your opponents, and the foreign masters above the fourth rank want to enter the capital to kill you, wishful thinking. And the masters in the imperial court are even more unlikely to do it in the capital, unless they have a will to die. ”

"Thanks for the reminder, I see. Li Miaozhen said: "I will arrange ghost alerts near Xu's mansion, and if there are suspicious people approaching, I will immediately make a police call." When the time comes, I will take action in advance, or leave the Xu Mansion, and it will not harm your family. Although this is not very likely. ”

Then, she couldn't help but taunt: "Damn Emperor Yuanjing." ”

Hey, you're cautious, it's good to talk about this kind of thing on the Internet......... Xu Qi'an smiled and bowed his head, got up, and said, "Then, I, an orange outsider, will not disturb the sweet dreams of the two girls." ”

Under the slightly blank gazes of Li Miaozhen and Su Su, they left the room.

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

On March 27, it is advisable to open the light, tailor, travel, and get married.

Today is the day of the temple examination, and it is exactly one month before the end of the examination.

When the sky was hazy, my aunt got up, wearing a long dress with exquisite embroidery, her hair was slightly messy, and she only used a golden hairpin to pick the back of her head.

Her beautiful eyes were a little dull, she looked like she hadn't woken up, and her bags were puffy.

While arranging for the cook to make breakfast for Erlang, the aunt knocked on Erlang's door with her personal maid Lu'e.

Xu Xinnian was wearing a light white robe, with a purple jade gift from the Ziyang monk hanging around his waist, and he came to open the door for his mother in high spirits.

"Erlang got up so early?" said the aunt, yawning,

"Mother let the room make breakfast, Erlang, do you want to sleep for another quarter of an hour, my mother will call you." ”

"No, I don't. ”

Xu Erlang is a Confucian student of the eighth grade, and his energy is far better than that of ordinary people, so he comforted his mother: "Mother, don't worry, the palace exam is a ranking exam, and with the identity of Huiyuan, it will not be too low." ”

The aunt was relieved at the moment, took Lu'e out of the room, and when she crossed the threshold, she suddenly screamed.

Xu Erlang was taken aback, ran out of the room, checked the situation, and saw a woman in white holding a red umbrella standing quietly in the courtyard.

At this time, not long after the third watch, before dawn, the woman was holding a scarlet umbrella, wearing a white dress, and her body was full of weirdness.

"Mrs. Xu. ”

Su Su smiled and gave a salute.

The aunt breathed a sigh of relief, and said in her heart, at this point, she didn't sleep in the room, and ran out to do something. I almost thought I had encountered a ghost.

Xu Erlang stared at Su Su for a moment, retracted his gaze quietly, and said to his aunt, "Mother, go back to your room to rest." ”

Sending his aunt away, Xu Erlang looked at Su Su in the courtyard and said, "Does my eldest brother know your identity?"

He saw my charm, and he was worthy of being a student of Yunlu Academy......... Su Su smiled shallowly, outlined two pear vortices, and said in a coquettish voice:

"You know, he said he wanted to reshape my body for me, and then he would be his concubine for three years. ”

........ This is really what the eldest brother would do, and the Oiran of the Sect Division can't satisfy his taste anymore?

Xu Xinnian was dumbfounded and speechless for a long time.

Knowing that today is the palace test, just after the third watch, Xu Fu lit a candle, and Li Miaozhen heard about it and came out to join in the fun. Everyone had breakfast and sent Xu out of the house for the New Year.

"Erlang, today is not only a palace test related to the future, but also an opportunity for you to prove your innocence and completely wash away your grievances, so you must do well. Xu Pingzhi was wearing armor, holding a helmet, and said earnestly.

Xu Xinnian walked out and bowed his head: "I know, don't worry, Dad, I ........."

The second half of the sentence suddenly stuck in his throat, and he looked stiffly at the street opposite, where two "old acquaintances" were standing, one was a burly and tall monk, dressed in a white-washed robe.

One is a swordsman in a green shirt, with a strand of white forehead hair hanging down, not very old, but giving people the feeling of going through vicissitudes.

It's these two again, it's these two again!!

Xu Xinnian roared inwardly.

"That's the eldest brother's friend........." Xu Qi'an patted him on the shoulder, soothing the anger in the little brother's heart.

There was no contact with No. 4 before, so let Xu Xinnian take the blame for him and cover it up. Now that Xu Qi'an's identity is gradually stable, Chu Yuanzhen has gradually accepted the character of the third cousin.

Once the inherent concept is formed, Chu Zhuangyuan will not deliberately scrutinize, and there will be no doubts such as "the third person is eccentric". People are always more likely to trust their friends, trust familiar people, and that's why.

Hengyuan and Chu Yuanzhen smiled and bowed, and after greeting each other, their eyes immediately fell on Li Miaozhen.

This Heavenly Sect Holy Maiden has a fair and clean melon seed face, her face is facing the sky, and her eyes are like black pearls, clear and bright. The eyebrows are sharp, highlighting the seemingly sharp temperament on her body.

is not so much the Holy Maiden of Tianzong as the battle-hardened female general......... Yes, she joined the army in Yunzhou for a year........ Monk Hengyuan clasped his hands together and smiled at Li Miaozhen.

The breath is introverted, does not leak a cent, and does not see through the cultivation......... But since she came to the capital, it means that she has stepped into Sipin, hey, I fought with Zhang Kaitai back then, and after the fiasco, I haven't fought Sipin for many years.

Chu Yuanzhen smiled, and his pupils quietly burned with fighting spirit.

The bald head is No. 6, and the sword is No. 4, well, No. 4 is really as No. 1 said, and he is not taking the orthodox path of Renzong........ Li Miaozhen bowed his head, which can be regarded as a greeting.

As for No. 5 Lina, she was still sleeping in the room, just like her apprentice Xu Lingyin.

"Da ........"

The three men of the Xu family rode away, Li Miaozhen saw their backs, and Hengyuan's voice came from his ears: "Amitabha, I hope that No. 3 can be the first in high school." ”

Chu Yuanzhen sneered: "It's good to get a second-class, he is a student of Yunlu Academy." However, Number Three has a big secret. ”

Hengyuan was surprised: "Secret?"

Chu Yuanzhen nodded with a smile, and said inscrutablely: "If my expectations are correct, the vision of the Yunlu Academy's sub-sanctuary is related to No. 3.

"Of course, these are my speculations, unfounded, believe it or not. ”

Hengyuan suddenly realized.

Li Miaozhen's face suddenly became weird, No. 4 and No. 6 didn't know that Xu Qi'an was No. 3, and they always thought that Xu Xinnian was No. 3.

In the future, if they know the truth, will they recall today's words, will they be like me, ashamed and eager to beat Xu Qi'an. But he had to hide it for him.

Because then everybody can act as if nothing happened.

Thinking of this, she glanced at Number Four and Number Six with pity.

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

The darkness before dawn was the thickest, and four hundred tributes gathered outside the noon gate, waiting for the temple test.

Surrounded by two columns of forbidden troops armed with torches, sculpture-like motionless.

Hundreds of civil and military officials gathered, inspecting the tributes participating in the palace examination from a distance, and sometimes exchanged a few words. Only the officials of the Ministry of Rites worked hard to maintain order on the scene.

Verify the identity and count the number of people for the third time.

There are five door openings in the noon gate, three main gates, and two side gates. In normal times, civil and military officials enter from the side, and only the emperor and empress can walk through the main gate.

Of course, champions, top eyes, and tanhua can also enjoy the honor of going to the front door once.

Xu Xinnian, who is the Huiyuan, stands at the head of the tributes, standing tall and expressionless. It was as if everyone in the room was rubbish.

However, the scholars still eat this set very much, especially a talented Huiyuan put on this posture, and even the officials in the distance praised in their hearts:

This son is extraordinary.

The drums sounded, the three links were completed, and the civil and military officials took the lead in entering the noon gate, and then the tributes also passed through the noon gate under the leadership of the officials of the Ministry of Rites, crossed the Jinshui Bridge, and stopped in the square outside the Jinluan Palace.

Xu Xinnian squinted his eyes and looked at the Jinluan Hall in the distance, and could only see the civil and military officials on His Majesty Dan, and the music in the Jinluan Hall was right, and he had no chance to see it.

After a long time, the civil and military officials retreated, and the next thing was the palace test.

Even Xu Xinnian couldn't help but get nervous at this time.

"Gollum ......."

In Gongshiri, the sound of swallowing saliva was heard.

In such a tense atmosphere, everyone suddenly heard a noisy voice behind them, some scolding and some scolding.

I couldn't help but look back, and through the doorway of the noon gate, I vaguely saw a white-clothed warlock, blocking the way of the civil and military officials.

The white-clothed man turned his back to the crowd, ignoring the shouts around him.

In the New Year of the Confucian Eight Grades, I even vaguely heard the scolding.

"Yang Qianhuan, do you want to rebel? Get out of the way. ”

"Yang Qianhuan, what do you want to do, this is the noon gate, today is the palace test, you can't make trouble. ”

In the midst of the angry scolding, a low sigh came, and the white clothes said slowly: "Er Cao's body and name are destroyed, and the rivers and rivers will not be wasted........!"

There was silence for a moment, and the next moment, the civil and military officials exploded, and the scene was chaotic.

"Fa, what's going on?" said one of the tributes, blankly.

"This, isn't this a poem by Yingong Xu Qi'an mocking the princes, then, that white-clothed person seems to be Si Tianjian's person?"

"He's gone........."

More than 400 tributes, no matter how difficult it was to remain quiet, turned their heads to ear, and kept looking back at the noon gate.

"Silence!" the official of the Ministry of Rites shouted and said, "It's none of your business, the exam will be completed with peace of mind, and if anyone turns their heads and ears again, they will be expelled from the noon gate and go home and wait for another three years." ”

The tributes did not dare to speak for a moment.

The princes who had just dispersed returned, either with gloomy faces, or with excited expressions, or filled with righteous indignation, and entered the Jinluan Palace. Then there was a quarrel inside.

A quarter of an hour later, the princes came out of the Golden Luan Hall and did not return.

Yang Qianhuan........ It's a familiar name, and I think I've heard it somewhere......... Xu Erlang muttered in his heart.

"The Chinese tribute of the Beijing Yunlu Academy, Xu New Year. ”

At this time, the voice of the official of the Ministry of Rites interrupted Xu Xinnian's thoughts, he came back to his senses, took the sealed test paper from the hand of the official of the Honglu Temple, and strode into the Jinluan Palace.

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

The palace examination is only a test of policy questions, only one day, and the papers are handed in at dusk.

Xu Xinnian stepped on the afterglow of the sunset, left the palace, and at the gate of the imperial city, he saw the eldest brother on the back of a horse, holding the reins of another horse in his hand, waiting with a smile.

"I told my second uncle, I'll pick you up. Xu Qi'an asked, "How did you do in the exam?"

"It's okay!"

Xu Xinnian said lightly: "If I were a student of Guozijian, I would be very stable." ”

......... Xu Qi'an nodded with satisfaction: "Yes, the prestige of such a worthy big brother, others will not say that you are a tiger brother and a dog brother in the future." ”

Xu Xinnian sighed: "Although the eldest brother is famous, he is not a scholar after all, if the Xu Mansion wants to gain a firm foothold in the capital and be respected, there must be a scholar from the imperial examination." ”

Xu Qi'an said "um": "Erlang work hard, I just came out of Princess Lin'an's mansion." ”

"........" Xu Xinnian arched his hand.

He lost, but he still couldn't pretend to be a big brother.

Xu Qi'an threw the reins of the horse to Xu Erlang and said, "Erlang, you have come out of the road of the imperial examination, tonight the eldest brother has a treat, go to the Teaching Workshop Division to celebrate." ”

"Mother and sister-in-law, ......." Xu Xinnian frowned.

"I told my aunt that we were on the night watch today. And you, after the palace test, isn't it normal to have a drink with your classmates?" Xu Qi'an said.

"Big brother is right. Xu Xinnian laughed.
