Chapter 103: Playing horses and parading through the streets ([-])

The land of Fuguang is rich in all kinds of pearls, and Huo Yanzhi, the king of Fuguang, cannot do without those things.

Sister Ling didn't understand what he said at all, but he looked funny, his voice was exaggerated, he was waving a small fish apple and giggling.

Mrs. Luo looked enviously, and sighed, "This house is only lively if there are many children."

Princess Ninghe glanced at Luo Xiyao, who had pale eyes, and lowered her voice, "Old lady, I'm too shallow.

No matter how picky and cautious you are in choosing a son-in-law, you can't be too picky, but if you are too picky, you will inevitably delay the youth of your daughter's family.

To tell the truth from the old lady, when the emperor pointed the finger at King Fuguang to Jiujiu, my old lady murmured in her heart, look, isn't it very good now? "

Mrs. Luo shook her head and sighed in distress.

Princess Ninghe stopped talking and started another topic.

After a while, people of all colors came to the color shed in Washington to pay their respects to Princess Ninghe and Mrs. Luo.

The two old people have not been out and about for a long time, and Huo Yanzhi and Su Xianyu are here, so the wives and wives of other houses naturally want to come to make friends.

Hua Ping was happy to see Huo Yanzhi's impatient response, so he said, "It's boring to sit idle, my lord, why don't you play chess with Su Shangshu?"

The two played chess quietly, and those wives and wives would naturally not come to disturb them without knowing each other.

Huo Yanzhi nodded, ordered Danggui to take the chess, and played with Su Xianyu.

His chess skills are far inferior to Su Xianyu's, and he lost soon.

He was not annoyed, picked up the chess piece again, and started playing again.

About a quarter of an hour later, he lost again without any suspense.

Jiu Fangfeng couldn't sit still, and said with a smile, "I'll accompany Su Shangshu to kill two games."

Huo Yanzhi got up to let him, Hua Pingle was sitting next to Huo Yanzhi to watch the game, so he took advantage of the opportunity to sit next to Su Xianyu, let Huo Yanzhi sit with Jiufangfeng, and asked, "Su Shangshu, are you good at chess?"

Whether it was Huo Ying or Hua Pingle, Su Xianyu had never sat so close to her before, half of her body froze, "Su is not good at chess".

Because of nervousness, his voice was tense, and he sounded a little unhappy.

Jiu Fangfeng clicked his tongue, he is not good at chess, and he can kill their prince one game after another without any power to fight back. This is definitely discrediting their prince in front of Miss Hua Er!

"I heard that the Crown Princess is excellent at chess, who is better than Su Shangshu?"

"I don't know, I have never played chess with her."

Hua Pingle sighed, "It's a pity that these piano, chess, calligraphy and painting things give me a headache when I look at them."

Su Xianyu didn't know what she was planning, so he turned to look at her.

His pupils are very light in color, when looking at people so seriously, Hua Pingle can clearly see his small reflection in his light brown pupils, inexplicably giving her the illusion that Su Xianyu's eyes are full of her tenderness.

Hua Ping's music froze, and for a moment he almost couldn't keep his smile.

Jiu Fangfeng interjected with a smile, "You don't need to bother about this point, the second girl, our prince also has a headache when he sees these things, and the girl and the pot match the lid, they are a natural match."

Hua Pingle let out a yell, got up and left, "I'll go see if Ah Li and the others have left the palace."

When she got up together, Huo Yanzhi got up very naturally and followed her footsteps.

Su Xianyu lowered her eyelashes to hide the gloom in her eyes, A Yu turned into Miss Hua Er, Huo Yanzhi was still the one who could appear beside her openly, not him...

Jiu Fangfeng tapped the chess pieces, "Su Shangshu, it's your turn."

The two of them hadn't finished playing a game of chess when Hua Pingle came back and shouted excitedly, "The people in front are saying that the palace examination is over, and the new Jinshi will leave the palace soon."

Everyone cheered up, Xiao Mingqing yelled, "Hurry up, where is the purse handkerchief I prepared? Take it out and get it ready!"

As soon as she finished speaking, a man in his forties quickly ran in, bowed his head to Su Xianyu, and shouted excitedly, "My lord! The young master has chosen the champion! It is the champion!
The news from the Imperial Palace is absolutely unmistakable! "

Su Xianyu's movements paused, and he muttered the number one scholar, his light-colored pupils were slightly wet, the number one scholar——

Ah Jie, Ah Li won the first prize.

You said that if you have a son, you must ask him to worship me as his teacher, and then he will win the first prize, so that he can get the good words of master and apprentice, father and son.

Ah Li did it——

Although he had expected it, Hua Pingle was so excited that he almost wanted to cry when he heard the exact news.

She was afraid that people would see something wrong, so she hugged Sister Ling, buried her face in her heart, and shouted, "Sister Ling, did you hear that? Ah Li has won the champion! My aunt has become the savior of the champion!" !"

Sister Ling was tickled by her, and giggled.

Su Xianyu regained his composure and ordered, "Quickly go and announce the good news to the teacher."

The man responded and went, Princess Ninghe and Mrs. Luo congratulated each other, and other people also made fun of each other.

Mrs. Luo joked for a while, then said, "I've been delayed for so long, I should go back, Yaoyao—"

Luo Xiyao interrupted her, "Grandmother, there are many people here, it's more lively, I want to play again."

Naturally, Mrs. Luo would not shame her in public, so she nodded and went back.

After a while, Jin Yiwei began to clean up the people in the middle of the road, and pulled up red silk on both sides of the road.

The ladies and maids from all the prefectures got excited and ran out of the shed one after another, looking in the direction of the palace.

Hua Pingle asked himself that his concentration was not bad, so he couldn't sit still at this moment, so he ran outside holding Sister Ling.

Hua Ping'an frowned, hum, I'm really impatient!

Yuqian just sent the news, it's still too early for the new Jinshi to come out, why are you in such a hurry?
When he was about to call Hua Pingle back, he paused his voice again, forget it, it's not every day that the champions of the left and right play horses and parade through the streets, and this is the only time it's embarrassing.

Jiu Fangfeng pulled Huo Yanzhi to follow, and shouted with a smile, "My lord, why are you so reserved at this time! Of course it's a sneak peek!"

Xiao Mingqing and Meng Jiang hurriedly followed, Luo Xiyao picked up the teacup, in order to avoid suspicion, she hadn't planned to watch Jinshi parade at all.

Although Mrs. Luo forced her to come, she naturally wouldn't follow to watch the excitement at this time.

Princess Yongchuan lowered her head and stared at the stretched green leaves in the teacup in her hand, her sideburns drooped down, covering her envious and longing eyes, as well as the blush that slowly rose on her cheeks.

Su Li, Su Xiao Zhuangyuan, how can that jade-like young man like Hua Pingan, a county king who enjoys the shade of his ancestors, be comparable to him?
The concubine mother's gaze is definitely unmistakable.

Maybe they were too impatient and always felt that the time was infinitely long, and there was no movement from the other side of the imperial street for a long time.

Seeing that most of the masters in front of the colorful sheds had returned to sit in the colorful sheds, leaving only the maids waiting outside for news, Hua Pingle was a little anxious and asked, "What time is it? Why haven't you come yet?"

Jiu Fangfeng smiled and said, "Second girl, don't be in a hurry, it's not about picking cabbage, it can be done in a while."

Xiao Mingqing immediately agreed, "Yes, yes, don't worry about Jiujiu, the palace is still some distance away!"

Hua Pingle thought that what they said was right, so he said, "Then let's go in and wait, and we'll talk when we get here."

Everyone was a little tired from standing, so they all walked in.

Hua Pingle is still in love with himself, talking about walking, but his feet don't move.

Huo Yanzhi said, "I'll wait here with you."

Hua Pingle raised his head and looked in the direction of the imperial palace. There didn't seem to be any movement there at all, and he shook his head, "Forget it, let's go in first."

Before she could finish her sentence, the middle-aged man who had reported to Su Xianyu first rushed over again.

This time, he didn't speak in a hurry, but looked at Su Xianyu without hesitation, obviously worried about the presence of outsiders.

Su Xianyu frowned, "Ah Li's news? Tell me."

The man didn't dare to disobey, and saluted, "After the young master named the champion, he was called into the Palace of Compassion by the Empress Dowager, and the second place and Tanhua went with him—"

When he said this, his voice was even lower, "There is news that the Empress Dowager is going to marry the young son and Princess Yongchuan, but it has not been confirmed yet, please show me."

"no!"

Hua Pingle was shocked and angry again, and blurted out, what is Wang Miaoer?
If he can't marry Su Xianyu himself, does he want his daughter to marry Su Xianyu's "illegitimate son" Ah Li?

Meng Jiang, who had already entered the shed, turned around and asked curiously, "Why not?"

Hua Pingle bit his lip, Jiu Fangfeng smiled and said, "My lord said I won't wait for Young Master Su."

As he spoke, he stepped forward and grabbed Meng Jiang's shoulders and dragged him in, "Master Ninth, I happen to have something to ask, let's go in first."

Xiao Mingqing gave Hua Pingle a curious look, and then followed Jiu Fangfeng without hesitation.

Hua Pingle tried his best to put on a sullen face and raised his chin to make a look of disdain, not to show his excessive concern for Su Li, "I can't do it at all! Princess Yongchuan is so ugly, how can he be worthy of Ah Li?" ?”

The corners of Su Xianyu's mouth twitched slightly, "Miss is right, how can Princess Yongchuan be worthy of Ah Li?"

Hua Pingle, "..."

I always feel that Su Xianyu's brain has been kicked by a donkey recently. Whatever she said, he said she was right.

"Then, what if the Empress Dowager really bestows a marriage on Ah Li?"

Su Xianyu snorted, and lowered his head to straighten the cuffs without a trace of wrinkle, "I look at Princess Yongchuan's face, he doesn't look like a well-off person, I'm afraid I can't bear it."

Hua Pingle, "..."

Did he mean that if the queen mother really pointed out Princess Yongchuan to Ah Li, he would directly kill Princess Yongchuan?

After all, most people with poor fortune are short-lived.

But this is also too incredible!
Hua Pingle somehow remembered Su Xianyu's tone when he said that Shi Jijiu was getting old and had a headache and brain fever, and he might not be able to be the chief reviewer of Chunwei. It seemed that he was so careless.

Then, Shi Jijiu really vomited and couldn't get out of bed, and the chief reader was replaced by the Minister of Rites who prefers a beautiful style of writing, and then Ah Li was awarded Huiyuan!

Although it was unbelievable, Hua Pingle somehow felt that he meant that, and he would definitely be able to do it!

She was silent, and asked again, "Do you still know the face?"

Su Xianyu oh again, and his tone became more casual, "Oh, it's very simple, Princess Yongchuan looks after her mother, ugly, how can she bear the good fortune of marrying a beautiful young man like Ah Li?"

Hua Pingle, "..."

Suddenly, I wanted to pour a bowl of boiling water on the back of Su Xianyu's neck to see if he was also skinned and put on another person!

Huo Yanzhi immediately nodded in agreement, "The crown princess is very ugly, and her daughter is also ugly, and the crown prince just happens to be a family."

As he spoke, he squatted down slightly, adjusted his posture, presented his entire face to Hua Pingle, and said seriously, "I am prettier than the prince, much prettier!"

Hua Pingle, "..."

Why hasn't this idiot's desire for beauty not gone down?

Hua Pingle slapped Huo Yanzhi's face expressionlessly, pushing his serious and almost serious handsome face far away.

Enough!

It made her not in the mood to be angry with Wang Miao'er!

……

……

In the Compassion Ning Palace at this moment, the atmosphere is tense.

The Queen Mother summoned Su Li, No. [-], and Tanhua to take a look at the top three names in the new division.

She had already received Wang Miaoer's advice, and when she saw Su Li standing there tall and tall like a Zhilan standing in front of the court, she was really pleasing to the eye and the eye, and she said happily, "Su Shangshu's son is indeed extraordinary, and his age is also about the same. It happened to be a county horse master for Yongchuan of Aijia.

Come here, pass on the decree of mourning the family, and bestow a marriage for Su Xiaozhuang and the princess! "

Su Li was shocked. Although he didn't know the specific situation back then, after Huo Ying's death, Wang Miaoer, as her best handkerchief handkerchief, took her original seat and became a princess, but she saw it. Yes, how willing to marry Wang Miaoer's daughter, blurted out eagerly, "Wait a minute, Queen Mother!"

The Queen Mother frowned, "What?"

Su Li's back was covered in cold sweat, and his mind turned rapidly. What excuse could he think of to reject this marriage without being charged with "disrespect"?
"The queen mother forgives sins".

His voice was melodious and steady as usual, and a slow and polite remark bought him time.

His clever brain, which he inherited from his father, worked out the best solution, and he said it slowly and calmly with the calmness and calmness that Su Xianyu taught him.

Anyone can tell a lie, the key is to see who will not make others suspect what he says, let alone make himself feel guilty.

"Before Weichen's mother passed away, she made a marriage arrangement for Weichen, and it was a cousin of Weichen's uncle's family, and they have already exchanged tokens and invitations.

Only later, Weichen's parents died, and then he came to the capital with his uncle, and his uncle's family also moved with his family and lost contact.

Uncle originally planned to wait for the humble minister to get a good name before worrying about marriage.

After the humble minister won the Yuan Dynasty, my uncle sent someone to inquire about the whereabouts of my uncle's family, and there must be an answer soon."

The Queen Mother was stunned, and Wang Miaoer said indifferently, "That's really a coincidence, Zhuangyuan Lang has been in Beijing for many years, and he has never heard of a marriage contract.

As soon as the empress dowager bestowed the marriage, Zhuangyuan Lang had an extra cousin who had a marriage contract since childhood. Can Zhuangyuanlang know that he will be punished for lying to the queen mother? "

When Wang Miao'er spoke about it later, her voice and expressions were already severe, how dare the humble seed born of a lowly maidservant be so ignorant of flattery!

Su Li was not intimidated by her momentum at all, and said calmly, "I dare not."

The Queen Mother waved her hand, "It's okay if you have one, just retire, is there anyone else who dares to compete with the Tian family for a son-in-law?
Or else, after Yong Chuan gets married, it is fine to bring his cousin into the house to be a noble concubine."
