Xu Xian smiled: "Go and wash your face, you let others see it like this, and you think I did something to you?"
Yin Hongsleeve was indignant in his heart: I really can't speak, what is it called? Such words are very suspicious of teasing. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
But thinking that Xu Xian has always been like this, and that he just promised to let him speak and act casually, it is not good to say anything. washed away the tears on her face, returned to her seat, and was about to ask about last night, but her stomach made a "cooing" sound. "Don't laugh!"
Xu Xian already smiled and stood up, "If you don't like it, you might as well try my craftsmanship and make amends for you." ”
Yin Hongsleeve was surprised: "You still know how to cook, but the gentleman is far away from cooking, this is not good!" In this era, where would a man with some status do these things, not to mention that Xu Xian is already famous.
Xu Xian smiled and said, "Isn't it a gentleman to cook a meal?"
Yin Hongsleeve was stunned and said, "Let's face!"
Xu Xian said, "That's good!" and walked out, and after a while, he brought a steaming egg bowl of noodles and two plates of delicate side dishes on the table.
Yin Hongsleeve was immediately aroused by the fragrance, and after tasting a bite that was unexpectedly delicious, he ate it with relish. secretly said in his heart, although he is hateful when he is casual, he is also a little cute sometimes. But there are not many men in the world who can do it.
Xu Xian had nothing to do, and stared at Yin Hongsleeve with his head in front of him, which made Yin Hongsleeve's posture of holding chopsticks a little unnatural, and he stopped eating and looked at him.
Looking at each other, Xu Xian raised his hand and surrendered: "I'm going to read a book, I'm going to read a book." "When I came to the bookcase, I took out a copy of the most common "Tao Te Ching" and flipped through it.
Xu Xiantou asked without replying, "Rou Jia's body should be better, right?"
Yin Hongsleeve's heart moved, but he hesitated whether to answer, "eating silently" is a basic etiquette, and finally replied: "Well, after your recuperation, it doesn't matter anymore, but it's still a little weak." ”
Xu Xian looked down at the scroll and said, "That's good, I will leave the capital in a few days, if she suddenly falls ill again, I'm afraid I can't take care of her, after the palace test, I will treat her a few more times, and it will be no problem." ”
Yin Hongsleeve was puzzled: "Why do you always say that you want to leave the capital? With your talent, there is no problem in entering the Hanlin Academy as an editor." ”
The so-called Hanlin Yuan is a very special internal affairs department, which is in charge of compiling the history of the country, recording the emperor's words and deeds, making notes on the history of the scriptures, and drafting documents related to ceremonies. Its biggest feature is that it is very close to the emperor, and it is regarded as the emperor's private think tank.
If we compare it with modern times, then it is similar to the combination of the General Office of the State Council and the Central Party School, whose power is not insignificant, and it is often in contact with central affairs, and it is easier to be promoted than if it is placed as an official in a local area. After every scholar has gone through a long road to the imperial examination, the most desirable place is the Hanlin Academy.
Xu Xian raised his head and smiled: "Editor, that's a position that only Tanhua Bangyan is qualified to get, I'm afraid I don't have this blessing." Moreover, I also have some things to do in Hangzhou, and I can't stay in the capital for a long time. "The first important thing he did when he came to the capital was for Pan Yu, and the imperial examination was just a convenient one.
Yin Hongsleeve asked, "It's more important than being a knight?"
Xu Xian thought for a while and said, "It's really important. "When he survives the catastrophe and becomes an earth immortal, he will be able to help Ao Li, and he may be able to determine the ownership of the water veins in the world. "It's not that you must not be an official, if you are allowed to be an official in Jiangnan, then it will be fine. "Not only can you help Ao Li at any time, but also can effectively handle some local affairs and make decisions for the people.
Yin Hongsleeve looked at the food on the table, suddenly felt that he had lost his appetite, and sighed: "Then I don't know when we will see each other again." ”
Xu Xian laughed, "Don't worry, there are still many people to meet! I will often go back to the capital to see you." "In this era, the transportation is inconvenient, and a parting can indeed trap most mortals, but for Xu Xian, who can soar through the clouds, there is no such problem, and when he becomes an earth immortal, the speed of flight is much faster, and it is only a matter of time between the north and the south. Of course, he will not leave Pan Yu here, and it is indispensable to come to Beijing often.
Yin Hongsleeve picked up the chopsticks and said with a smile: "That's right! It's just that if you see Roujia again, I'm afraid it won't be so easy." ”
Xu Xian turned around and said, "How come?"
Yin Hongsleeve felt speechless, hesitated for a moment and said: "This matter must not be revealed, but since it is you in Chinese, you have heard it." After the palace test, the queen will recruit a horse for Roujia in the palace. ”
Xu Xian was surprised and said: "Choose a horse!? Roujia is still so young!" "Roujia's age is only in junior high school in modern times, and she is considered a young girl in the law, how can she suddenly talk about marriage."
Yin Hongsleeve said: "Small, after the next month, Roujia will be sixteen years old, if you talk about the virtual age is seventeen years old, she has already reached the marriageable age, last year the queen wanted to choose a horse, but Roujia was weak, so she gave up, this year her body is much better, and the queen has decided." And it's not strange to marry at the age of thirteen or fourteen!"
"Sixteen years old?" Xu Xian was stunned for a moment, this really can't be seen, if you talk about it like this, this matter is still caused by the fact that she cured Rou Jia's illness. Although it is just the norm in this era, Xu Xian felt very abrupt, how could he suddenly be determined to belong to his life?
Xu Xian put down the book in his hand and said solemnly: "Who is the colt?"
Yin Hongsleeve shook his head and said: "I can't die of this, my aunt is also hesitating to choose! It's just that no matter who you choose, I'm afraid there won't be you!"
Xu Xian said: "Me?" Although he hoped that she could be happy, he never thought of becoming the guardian of this weak girl for the rest of her life?
Yin Hongsleeve thought that Xu Xian had moved his mind, but this was also reasonable, Rou Jia was the princess of the princess, and she was the best in the world, and she got along with Xu Xian very well, if you could get married, it would be a good choice for each other! "It's just that there is a hint of gloom in my heart.
Xu Xian said: "I haven't told you yet, I already have a wife, her name is Bai Suzhen." ”
Yin Hongsleeve said unexpectedly: "I heard Yun Yan mention it, but not many people know about this matter! Now it's just an expedient measure, even if it's for Rou Jia's ......."
Xu Xian waved his hand and said, "Needless to say, no matter at any time, for any reason, I can't deny her existence." I don't have any other thoughts about Roujia, and she may not be able to find Ruyi Langjun this time, if she is not satisfied, I will use mana to interfere. ”
"Bai Suzhen...... Is it?" Yin Hongsleeve muttered the name, and could feel that she was special in Xu Xian's heart, this was his only wife who was rightful to the name! To be so recognized by him, she was probably a great woman!
Xu Xian saw her frowning and was silent, and asked, "What's wrong with you?"
Yin Hongsleeve reacted, "It's nothing, this matter can only be talked about at that time, just ask you to promise me one thing." ”
"What?"
"Don't make Roujia sad. ”
Xu Xian said confidently: "I will." "Isn't it to work hard to cultivate and pursue strength just to protect these precious people around you?
Xu Xian left the county lord's mansion and returned home, never leaving the house again, concentrating on his studies.
Half a month passed, and in a blink of an eye, it was the day of the palace test.
Before dawn, the moon was bright and the stars were sparse, and there were no clouds.
Many tributes first gather at the Ministry of Rites, and then take a carriage to the palace for the final examination, after which they are qualified to be called Jinshi.
There are hundreds of Gongshi admitted to this subject, and no matter who meets whom, they are all handed over and greeted.
Although everyone is from all over the world, and the only communication is only to take a test together, they are already classmates from the same list, and they worship the same teacher - Wang Wenrui. In the future, in the career path, it is indispensable to take care of each other, and naturally we must be more close.
The arrival of Xu Xian and Pan Yu caused a small fluctuation, and Pan Yu had to deal with it, but he coped with it easily.
Suddenly, a person from the crowd came up, grabbed Xu Xian's sleeve and said, "Hanwen is a good method!" The person who came can also be called dignified, but with a winkful eye and a silver smile on his face, he really ruined the due image, but it was Jin Shengjie.
Xu Xian was surprised: "Even you have passed the exam?" For the future of this country, he couldn't help but be very worried.
Jin Shengjie said: "It's all a trivial matter, tell me quickly, how was it like that night, hey, I actually looked away, I didn't expect you to be so arrogant and dry, so magnificent, so ...... Hey!" The reverence on his face was much greater than that of Xu Xian's famous poem quatrain.
Xu Xian said helplessly: "Were you there that night, why didn't you come to me?"
Jin Shengjie smiled and said: "The threshold of the palace is too high, you can't go, you can't go!" In fact, he thought Xu Xian was too serious, and he didn't have enough fun when he pulled him in. "When the time comes, my family's ship is about to return, and there are still your shares in it, and when the time comes, my old man must ask me to invite you over. ”
Xu Xian said: "Well, I will definitely go." "I don't know how Yu'er is doing, just in time to be able to visit her.
