"The 460th, Yang Zhen, is a student of Guozijian. No.459, Li Zhuming, from HUSHUI County, Qingzhou....

the official standing under the "wall of merit and fame" sings loudly. At the moment when he speaks, the original noise is just quiet.

Thousands of students listen with their ears up. When they hear their names, they either cry with joy or shout with arms.

"Erlang, why haven't you heard your name?" My aunt is in a hurry.

"Niang, it's only over a hundred." Xu Lingyue comforted: "you said that the second elder brother is Huiyuan."

My aunt glared at her daughter. She even dared to tease her.

"Erlang, it's not you yet."

In the 50th place, my aunt was more anxious and frowned.

"Wait a minute." Xu Erlang frowned.

When she reached the top ten, her aunt turned pale and felt that her son would probably fail.

Xu Xinnian's eyes are full of uneasiness and a little excitement. This is the trend of benevolence without success. When he thinks of his elder brother's song "hard journey" and his usual accumulation, Erlang still has some confidence in his heart.

Finally, when the song came back to me: "today's Academy, Xu new year, students of Yunlu academy, people from Beijing."

Auntie's ear "boom" sound, just like jiaolei burst, her whole person is a violent tremor.

The sound of "Jiao Lei" also blew up in the ears of thousands of students and the watchmen around them. Their first thought was: impossible!

It is impossible for the students of Yunlu academy to become Huiyuan. The dispute of Confucian orthodoxy lasted for two hundred years, and the students of Yunlu Academy were severely suppressed in the officialdom. This is an indisputable fact.

In this context, how could Huiyuan be a student of Yunlu academy?

The last scholar of Yunlu Academy who became "Huiyuan" was Ziyang Jushi 20 years ago. But who is Ziyang Jushi?

That's the great scholar of Sipin.

Twenty years later, it is entirely reasonable for him to become Huiyuan or even number one. He is a hidden dragon.

However, in another way of thinking, this scholar, who was also born in Yunlu academy, fought his way out among thousands of troops and became Huiyuan.

Does it mean that he is also a great scholar?

A lot of time.

These people are all rich men or scholar bureaucrats.

Since ancient times, there have been many families looking for son-in-law in the apricot list. In the Yuanjing year of Dafeng, although it was not popular, there were still many families looking for son-in-law in the apricot list.

And so on is a talented scholar with the talent of Qianlong, such as the current "Huiyuan" Xu new year.

It's a joke to catch my son-in-law at the bottom of the list. A rich family is guarding the apricot list. When they see the scholar, they send people to the home to talk about the media and fight for time.

Once the matchmaking is successful, the marriage will be settled. If others want to rob it again, they will not be able to rob it.

In the age when etiquette and law are more important than heaven, it's not to put pressure on the elders of the school to give a grain of Qi to disperse, saying that marriage will be ruined. Unless you don't want a bright future.

"Who is Xu Xinnian?"

"Who is Mr. Xu in the new year?"

From time to time in the crowd came inquiries.

A student turned his head and looked around. There was a long sea of people. When he saw Xu Xinnian with a dull face, he immediately called out: "farewell, congratulations. Xu is there. "

Hula, hula, etc.. The first one who came over was not the students, but the people who wanted to catch Xu, and surrounded Xu with their retinue.

"Can Xu Huiyuan be married? I have a daughter in my family. She is 28 years old and beautiful. I'd like to marry my son. "

"There are unmarried daughters in my family, who are proficient in all kinds of music, chess, calligraphy and painting."

Xu retreated in the new year.

Chun'er looked at it with her feet for a moment, and said happily, "it's really interesting to catch him at the bottom of the list, miss. I didn't expect that Huiyuan was the handsome scholar."

As the voice fell, the curtain suddenly lifted. She had a gentle temperament and a little baby fat cheeks. 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 vomit fragrance and drink away these unintelligent things, suddenly, he saw several people from the river and lake rush up against the "protective wall" formed by the squire, intending to take advantage of his mother and sister.

The squire was forced to retreat again and again, and his aunt and Ling Yue screamed in fright.

"Stop it

Xu Erlang roared.

But it's no use. He can't stop so many people.

"Oh, such a naughty rascal has no ability. It's very good to fish in troubled waters." The middle-aged swordsman saw this scene from a distance and disdained it.

However, he didn't care too much. This kind of small chaos will soon be stopped by the watchmen and the officers and soldiers, but I'm afraid the two beautiful women will be frightened.

"Stop it

Suddenly, there was a deafening sound. This time, it was not a psychological thunder, but a real thunder. More than a thousand people were dizzy and tinnitus.The riot stopped at once.

On the wall of the court stood a young man in a watchman's uniform and embroidered with a silver Gong. He pressed the knife with one hand and swept the troublemakers with sharp eyes.

At the same time, the officers and soldiers and the watchmen crowded out and finally arrived.

When she saw Xu Qian, her aunt felt relieved, as if she had something to rely on, and the mother and daughter were relieved.

"Take those troublemakers away." Xu Qi'an pointed out several people in the Jianghu one by one, and several gongs around immediately went up to pick up people.

The students at the bottom recognized Xu Qi'an. They were quite surprised and cried, "it's Xu Shikui!"

"Meet Xu Shikui!"

Many students in the capital bow their hands and greet each other with a respectful attitude, as if they are greeting their predecessors and teachers.

As a matter of fact, Xu Qi'an really deserves such treatment. With his masterpieces handed down from generation to generation, even the arrogant scholars dare not show pride in front of him.

But the foreign students didn't know Xu Qi'an's identity and called him a watchman. They originally disdained him, but the attitude of the scholars in the capital made them realize that this young silver Gong had an unusual identity.

"Brother, who is this man? It's just a martial arts man. "

"You don't know him Oh, you are not from Beijing. This adult's name is Xu Qi'an. The fragrance floats in the dusk of the moon. "

“…… It turns out that he is really a man of outstanding talent. When he is a real dragon and Phoenix, it makes people admire him. "

Now, foreign students will know who he is. Xu Qi'an's "illegitimate meal" is still a lot. With his copied poems, he has gained a large number of fans among Dafeng scholars.

For a time, countless students bow their hands and shout "Xu Shikui".

"What a prestige..." Xu Lingyue murmured.

"What a prestige..."

In the distance, girl Rongrong looks at the young man on the wall with admiration.

"I'm the main character..." Xu Xinnian whispered.

…………

Xu new year not only won the tribute, but also won the first prize: Huiyuan!

This was unexpected to the whole family.

My aunt was as happy as a fan Jin in women's clothes. She almost turned her eyelids and fainted.

The second uncle was also very happy and decided to hold a banquet at home and invite his family and colleagues to drink. Now that the Xu family is rich, there is no pressure to put the water table for three days and three nights.

After lunch, Xu Erlang put down his chopsticks, looked at Xu Qian and said, "do you want to patrol the street today

Xu Qi'an shook his head.

He is a silver Gong. He usually patrols the streets according to his mood rather than compulsion. Moreover, now that the apricot list has been revealed, thousands of students go back to their homes and find their mothers. The pressure of public security is not as great as it was in the morning.

Xu Erlang nodded, got up, put one hand on his abdomen and the other hand on his back, and said faintly, "brother, you'll work harder and help me guard the door. There must be some annoying flies in the afternoon. I won't see them at all!"

This posture usually appears in the respected old man, or officials.

Hey, this little brother still pretends to be... Xu Qi'an takes a puff at the corner of his mouth.

Xu new year's proud character is inherited from his aunt. However, the poison tongue attribute was created by him, and his aunt's skill of swearing was very common, otherwise she would not be yelled by Xu Qi'an.

Xu Qian returned to his room and sat at his desk, worrying about Xu Erlang's future.

"Erlang won Huiyuan, which I didn't expect. The next step is the palace examination in a month. After the palace examination, I can use the hand I buried (Zhao Langzhong, the literary selection Department of the Ministry of official)...

"staying in the capital is only the first step. If you want Erlang to be a useful person to me, you have to find a backing for him. Otherwise, as a student of Yunlu academy, he will spend his whole life in Qingshui yamen......

"Duke Wei is not the censor of zuodou in ducha academy now, and I don't know if he can get back such an important position. However, Erlang can't take refuge in Wei Yuan and have nothing to do with him, otherwise he will be branded as "eunuch party" like me.

"Eggs can't be put in one basket. I have to find a way to support him. Only in this way can our brothers have hope in the future that they will be able to compete with each other and dominate the court."

Xu Qi'an said before that he wanted to cultivate Xu Xinnian as a prime minister. Of course, it was a joke, but he did have the idea of "promoting" Xu Erlang.

After experiencing so many things and offending so many people, this idea becomes more and more clear and profound.

First of all, Xu Erlang's own talent is excellent. He is a Confucian orthodox system. He has a good mind and means. After several years in officialdom, he is definitely a god teammate.

But the drawbacks of Confucian orthodoxy are also obvious - children without mothers!

"Princess Huaiqing is a girl. I suspect she has secretly cultivated her influence, but Erlang wants a solid backing, not to be an underground party.

"Prince's words, I broke up with Chen Fei's mother-in-law after the Fu Fei case, so the prince didn't think about it. Moreover, the rank of Prince is too low to match my Erlang. For the same reason, the fourth prince also passedOnce in his mind, he found that there was no suitable backer in the civil service group.

Whoa... Forget it, it's not urgent. After the palace examination, Erlang's affair will come to an end. Next, I have to be alert to the Buddhist emissary group and the dispute between Li Miaozhen and Chu Yuanzhen about heaven and man. Ah, this kind of dispute about orthodoxy is the most troublesome. Xu Qi'an pinched his eyebrows and said in a low voice:

"for me, the most important thing is to promote the bronze skin and iron bone realm as soon as possible."

He washed his face and went out. Xu Yinluo, Li Wanji, didn't have time to guard the door for Xu Erlang.

Riding on a little mare and carrying two novels written by Zhong Lima, Xu Qian quickly enters the Imperial City, takes out the waist jade given by Lin'an, and comes to shaoyinyuan under the leadership of Yu Linwei.

For Xu Qian's sudden visit, Lin'an said that he was very happy and asked the maid in waiting for the dog slave with the best tea and the most delicious pastry.

"How is your highness?" Xu Qian asked.

Lin'an sighed, peach blossom eyes are not charming, dejected: "mother imperial concubine day by day and I cry, said in the palace encounter queen bully, see will not live."

As for the people behind Chen Fei, who don't help..... Well, Chen Fei is a qualified Kung Fu expert. She doesn't want to be so poor. She should be deliberately pretending to be poor in front of Lin'an and trying to save the country by curving the curve..... Xu Qi'an was surprised: "the queen bullies people too much, your highness, just watch Chen Fei be humiliated in the harem?"

"I can't fight Huaiqing, and I don't think my mother's wife is as miserable as she said." She said wrongly.

"Your Majesty." Xu Qian said tentatively.

"You go down first." Lin'an waved back the maids.

The hall was quiet, and no one spoke for a long time.

the slave barked helplessly.

"Well, your highness," he said

"When the prince's brother was put into Dali temple, I begged my father, but he didn't see me, so I stood in the cold for two hours, and Huaiqing drove me back..."

Lin'an bowed his head sadly, and some self abased beasts said, "at that time, I thought, maybe the father didn't love me so much. After the accident of the prince's brother, my brothers and sisters stopped looking for me to play, and I realized that they didn't really like me.... "

her eyebrows were shrugging, her clear and charming peach blossom eyes were dim, and her head was slightly down. Where was the princess, she was obviously a wronged and poor girl.

Xu Qi'an knew that his highness Lin'an trusted him so much that he took off the pride of the princess in front of him. What he showed was a girl who was not too stupid, but also not smart.

These things have been 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's pride.

Until the end of Fu Fei's case, she later realized the truth behind the case..... What was her mood at that time? Sad, helpless, disappointed?

The princess looks charming and willful. In fact, she is a ferocious paper tiger. When she is wronged, she only yells. When she really feels wronged, she silently bears it.

In fact, she is a submissive woman. She is beautiful, but she is also strong in the outside.

Lin'an's eyes gradually blurred, and her heart felt much better when these words came out. Although the dog slave could not give her anything, and even hesitated to help her preside over justice in front of Huaiqing, Lin'an was very happy that he could offend Huaiqing for himself.

Suddenly, a hand on her head, rubbed.

Lin'an raised his head in surprise, only to find that the dog slave didn't know when to come to his side. There was sadness in his eyes, and hatred in his eyes.

"Your Highness, I will be with you."

Lin'an's face a little bit red up, fine if mosquito said: "you, you don't touch my head... I will be angry."

treason and heresy violated the order of his highness, rubbed it up, and rubbed it up.

Lin'an opened his peach blossom eyes and glared at him. It seemed that he used his princess's authority to push back the dog slave. But although her eyes are charming and affectionate, they are not lethal.

Lin'an lowered his head again.

Well, the best way to deal with girls with this kind of character is to be domineering and dogged... Huaiqing, I might be stabbed to death by a sword...

the ambivalence ferments between them.

Xu Qi'an withdrew his hand in time, took out the script of the great saint of love from his arms, put it in front of Lin'an, and said with a smile:

"this is a book that I got from humble duty occasionally. It's very interesting. The princess likes to listen to stories, so she will like to read it. But don't say it's from me. "

When Lin'an pays attention to Li Dun, he is attracted by the great saint of love.

"If you think it's boring to stay in the palace, you might as well move to Lin'an house. In this way, you can play with me every day and take you out secretly."After a few words, he left.

"Xu Qian!"

Lin'an stopped him, puffed his cheeks, and threatened fiercely: "today's affair should not be spread, otherwise, otherwise......"

he wanted to say "otherwise, I'll cut your head", but he was a little reluctant.

"I see." Xu Qian said.

...

Xu Qi'an left shaoyinyuan and said to yulinwei, "if you want to see Princess Chang, you can lead me."

"It's against the rules." Yu Linwei shook his head.

"I'll go out of the palace and follow the rules." Xu Qi'an quietly put in a ten Liang silver note.

Yu Linwei promised him to leave the palace with Xu Qian, and let him wait outside the palace to get in and pass on.

When the incense did not arrive, Yulin Wei returned and said, "Princess Huaiqing, please."

Xu Qi'an picked the corner of his mouth and put his hand on his chest. He said, "Huaiqing, Huaiqing, let's see the power of the overbearing female president and silly white sweet little scholar.".

I'm sure it'll hit you.
