Qingchuan History

Chapter 776 The Second Knock

Ruan Xueyin knew he was joking.

Not sure if he wanted to pierce the window paper like that.

It is also uncertain whether he responded with a joke or not to stop there.

"It's hard work." But he said again with a suppressed smile, and shook her hand, "It's not that I don't want to talk to you about many things. Because the time we spend together is limited every day, when we meet each other, I always want to get tired of it, and then I'm born in the morning, I feel that our little home is precious, and I don't want to disturb the Qingning here with outsiders; the second reason is, "

His secret discovery in Yunshui has not been mentioned to her so far.

"Certain questions, only threads, too unclear, nothing to discuss."

Ruan Xueyin didn't mention Mengzhao and Gongtianxia for a similar reason.So what he said sounds inexplicable at first, but it makes sense when it falls into her ears.

"But after all, it must be related to these centuries-old families. After Jing Tingge returned to Cangwu, he first discussed the imperial examination, and then went to Fufeng City to visit the Huo family. I think the starting point is the same."

It was actually Murong Xun who first mentioned Chunwei.Gu Xinglang has a secret clue in Wei Palace, and his door is clear; Ruan Xueyin didn't get a single word from Jing Tingge, but it was obvious that this was a move to test Chaozhong Xungui, and she was more willing to believe that it was the girl's hand .

Gu Xinglang was relying on her, and when he heard the words, he leaned back and half-lyed on the couch, "My Xiaoxue still knows the autumn of the world by watching a leaf fall. It's different, you say, there is no difference."

Ruan Xueyin saw that he seemed to be admiring and sighing, and also teased: "Then I won't mention it?"

Gu Xinglang rubbed her palm lightly, "You are busy with other things, and you have to raise two children. I don't want you to worry about it. Those problems near and far are like a tiger with wings, and I can handle them without you. "He silently observed her expression, and made sure that she was not angry.

"I know that you are not a canary, and I don't want to live as a canary, but what should I do? I only hope that you will be free and free, with less worries and always happy."

"Then still take advantage of me to push the female class to find out the situation?"

Gu Xinglang was stunned, "This is called sailing with the current. Supporting your vision comes first, and the rest is incidental."

Ruan Xueyin lay down, leaned against his side, put her elbows on the couch, and asked with her cheeks propped up, "So what's next, I'll continue to take care of you?"

Gu Xinglang lightly tapped the large patch of snow on her chest that was exposed because of lying down, "Since the chessboard is in my heart, why not let you add wings to me? It's just one thing, just tell me what you find, and you Save yourself the effort."

After a while, he said:

"The day after Tianchang Festival is Ayan's birthday. Don't you invite her to Jidu?"

"She may be traveling in July." Ruan Xueyin answered truthfully.

"Oh?"

"North of Qingchuan, a place of extreme cold. For some, it is ambiguous."

Gu Xinglang didn't know the details, but knew the direction. He nodded and said: "She really has unlimited energy. Wei Ting is trying to see whether to hold a meeting this year. She is the one who started it. July is not far away. Can we really go?"

It is said throughout the mainland that Jing Tingge hibernated in the two countries last year to plan a situation, which is already miraculous; and Wei Ting first discussed the spring test, but failed, and then a dispute arose about whether Mr. Jing could enter the autumn test, and the timing was too coincidental At one point, Ruan Xueyin thought it was the girl who managed the whole process.

Only one thing is not like what she did.

This is the hot topic that spread across the mainland.

Fame is of course what she wants, but with such momentum, she, who has been fighting alone all year round, cannot push it away.Murong Xun?

There are still loopholes.The reputation of this trip was too fast, like a spring breeze overnight, like a thousand trees and pear blossoms, it was like——different people were building momentum in various parts of Qingchuan at the same time.

Why, help Jing Tingge to take the examination and get into the official position smoothly?

Very abnormal.And abnormality must be dangerous.That girl should have noticed, but she chose the former for the time being.

The summer heat begins in the north, and in the Danfu courtyard, summer trees touch the sky.

The girls finished their morning lectures and played in the courtyard.The aunt who was in charge of taking care of them on weekdays came out and said that she was ready for dinner, and the children rushed to the small room on the east side to wash their hands.

Ruirui has always been the most calm, walking at the end, seeing Jing Tingge shaking a feather fan looking at the sky under the crooked corridor, she came over and asked:
"Will the teacher not give us lunch today?"

"Well, let's go out later. After your lunch break, you should finish the homework you left in the morning. I should," she looked at the sun again, "be back before the end of time."

Ruirui thought for a while, "Is it for the teacher to take the exam?"

Jing Tingge brushed her hair with a pink feather on her fan, "I haven't read many sage books, but I have heard a lot of things outside the window."

"Aunt Min said."

Aunt Min was the one who called the dinner just now, she was actually a palace maid, and Murong Xun handpicked her to work in the academy.Jing Tingge only recently found out that she is Lu Xian's cousin.

The aristocratic family favors the king, and all kinds of favors are recommended all over the front and rear palaces. It is not unusual to encounter branches and vines within a few steps.

She was going to visit Lu Xian later.

It was quiet and quiet in the afternoon, and the weather was hot and there were few pedestrians. The gray carriage was parked in front of the square gate of Yushitai, and the curtain was heavy.

The coachman trotted up the steps and handed a name card to the guard in front of the door.The guards saw that the name post was not as commonly used by officials in the court, and they also glanced at the shabby blue and gray carriage not far away, so they were reluctant to enter to report.The coachman was well-prepared, approached two steps and quickly stuffed a bag of sinkers into the opponent's arms, and could faintly hear the things in it collide and clank.

Jing Tingge was watching through the half-inch curtain, seeing the guard put away his things and turned to go to the yamen, thinking that if he could use money to settle things, he would save his brains, and finally applied what he had learned from Shangguan Yan.

This wait is a long time.

Until the cicadas made a noise, the guard finally came back, followed by a young scribe.

Jing Tingge didn't know him, he saw the young man walking quickly down the stone steps towards this end, closed his eyes and sat down, and heard his voice coming from under the car:

"The teacher is going back to the mansion, and you can take a car at the back door. If you wish, sir, you can go with me."

This tone is quite strange, it is not like a man talking to a woman, but rather like a communication between men.

Is it because Lu Xian didn't tell his students his identity?
So much so that the young man thought that the teacher and friend in the car were men.

She experienced it carefully, and was a little happy. One day, such conversations between men and women will become the norm, and the world's ideals will be achieved.

So he didn't point it out, and deliberately lowered his voice "um".

This is a word with vague pronunciation, deliberately put down and separated from the car curtain, and the sound of cicadas is disturbing, and it is impossible to distinguish between male and female.

The scribe was startled, and after a while he felt that there was nothing wrong with it, and said, "Mister, please come with the students."

The coachman was already in place, and the four wheels began to turn to break the harmony of cicadas. Go straight past the main entrance of Yushitai, then turn right into an alley, walk slowly, turn right again, and walk a short distance. The scribe signaled the car to stop.

The snorting of the horse was faintly heard amidst the sound of cicadas.

It was Lu Xian's carriage.

Jing Tingge waited patiently, and when the other party finally set off, his own carriage also moved, and soon they drove side by side, so-called walking together.

The road behind the back gate of Yushitai is not Kangzhuang Avenue, nor is it a narrow path. It is just right for two cars to go side by side.

There are few pedestrians on the street in the afternoon, so this kind of road is more quiet.Jing Ting Gemo was sitting in the car, and after a while, an elder's voice came through the curtain from the side:

"Mister is a woman. Then as a counselor for the monarch, it is not good to enter and leave the Yushitai at will."

"Tingge handed over the name card, according to the worship, how can it be said to be casual." After Jing Tingge replied this sentence, he lifted the half-angle curtain to see that the other party hadn't lifted the curtain, but the wind moved the curtain and it was still.

"Sir, that name card," Lu Xian said with a deep smile, "forgive me for saying it bluntly, it's too childish, and it's different from the system commonly used by officials from various countries in this dynasty." He paused a bit, a little strangely, "Although Mr. Officials’ name cards, as the daughter of Prime Minister Qi, I must have seen Naifu’s—why do you imitate Wusha and make such a mess?” The patterns on the four corners of the name card are extremely beautiful, and it looks like a woman things,

"Xiaojiazi is very angry, it is difficult to enter the elegant hall. Let alone the imperial court."

"Master Lu's words are absurd. If I use pines and cypresses as your name, or imitate in other ways, I will lose my heart. Women and men stand side by side. They should work together and cooperate with each other based on their strengths, instead of blurring their own characteristics. , follow the trend to please and survive.”

There was a moment of silence.

So that the sound of cicadas is very obvious.

"Mister's spine is too hard. In fact, if you are willing to go through the winding path, it will not be so difficult."

This sentence seems to have three points of sincerity.

"I've been embarrassed for too long, and I'm tired, so I'm here to ask my lord to raise your hand, at least to give Ting Ge a chance on the exam questions."

There was another laugh at the other end, "Your Majesty is determined to give Mr. a chance. Mr. will be admitted to the imperial examination. It is a certainty. Why do you need to raise your hand?"

"The emperor insists on going his own way, ignoring the advice of his courtiers, which is called arbitrary."

"At present, nearly half of the ministers and workers in the court support the examination of the gentleman. With the blessings of meritorious service for many years, the former emperor Shang Hanzhang hall has listed all the items, and the old man has nothing to refute. Based on this, it is logical and not arbitrary. Why bother?" , Do you have to win the old man's support?"

"Shangguan Shuo died for his country, and Wei Ting's forces are gathered in the hands of the adults—"

"Sir, be careful. The court is the court of the emperor."

"The grown-ups have read all the books Ting Ge has read. You should know it. No scholar with a little foundation in this world will say that the court is the court of the emperor."

There was a moment of silence on the other end. "I agreed to meet you privately today. It was a mistake for the old man. But I really want to know how you can persuade Huo Xiao to help you."

Jing Tingge let out a sigh of relief. "That is, the imperial court is not the emperor's imperial court."
