Traveling through: The down-and-out beauty refuses to be cannon fodder

Chapter 6

That lazy young man was Xu Chun, the third master of the Xu family whom he had met before embarrassingly.

Fang Yuanzhi has already arrived here, it would be rude not to go in.

He simply gritted his teeth, closed his eyes, and fought hard!

Fang Yuanzhi entered the gazebo, and before he could salute, that Xu Chun pointed to the small teapot that was bubbling on the stove on the small table in the middle of the pavilion.

Is this asking me to pour tea and water?

Aren't you a servant girl? !

Fang Yuanzhi was slightly annoyed.

But who allows himself to ask others?

endured.

There were four small Ru Kiln teacups on the small table. Fang Yuanzhi sat on her knees, picked up the teapot, rinsed the small teacups several times, and drained the water with a small bamboo tong.

Then he took some tea leaves from the blue and white porcelain tea bucket with silver tweezers and put them into four teacups.

Then lift the teapot, a few feet away from the teacup, and slowly pour water into the teacup.

The technique is steady, the water is trickling, but not a single drop of water splashes out of the teacup.

It may be luck for one teacup to be like this, but it is some way to do it for four teacups.

The four people in the hall stared at Fang Yuanzhi making tea and did not speak.

After Fang Yuanzhi made the tea soup, he knelt and sat aside, lowering his head slightly, neither speaking nor raising his eyes to look at others, very law-abiding and punctual.

Xu Chun, who was leaning on his body, finally sat upright, picked up a cup of tea, and held it up in the air: "Everyone can come to the Xu family today to celebrate the birthday of the ancestors, and the Xu family will be full of glory. Wangchuan will replace it with tea." Wine, a little respect."

Wangchuan seems to be Xu Chun's character.

The other four also served tea one after another as a gesture, and each drank it.

Xu Chun leaned back and smiled again: "Brother Zijie came all the way, but did you go to Nanjing to see Wang Lun?"

Even if Li Yuanzhi lowered his head slightly, he could see Xu Chun's unrestrained appearance with his eyes.A loose Taoist robe set off his leisurely and undisciplined, like a wild crane in the countryside, and he had the demeanor of looking down on the world when talking and laughing.

However, he is handsome and has a dusty temperament, which makes people not feel disgusted, but has a sense of identity that "a real celebrity is a gentleman".

Fang Yuanzhi frowned slightly.Everyone else is sitting upright, but he looks so lazy and slightly ruffian, is he polite?

Sitting opposite Xu Chun, a young man dressed in dark gray fine cloth with a bloodstone seal hanging on his waist said: "He is a servant of the Eastern Palace who has been demoted for two years. What kind of waves can he make? What's so interesting about it? It's you instead."

The chicken blood stone is as red as fresh blood, without any impurities, it is obviously the best, and its value is not too high.

Li Yuanzhi understood that he didn't wear muslin clothes because he was poor, but because he liked it.It's really understated luxury, a casual display of wealth.

The young man in gray shirt frowned and continued: "Tell me about you. After the palace exam, you ran away without even looking at the results. Not to mention the selection of the nobles behind. I didn't pass the exam, and I don't know how many places I got in the exam..."

There was some complaint in his tone that he hated iron for not being able to make steel.

Next to the young man in a gray shirt, a middle-aged scribe in a blue brocade robe and with a short beard echoed, "Not to mention brother Zijie, and his father, Mr. Li Ge, even my uncle was surprised and ordered someone to deliver a letter. Give it to me, let me transfer to Suzhou and ask you what's going on."

The jade-faced young man opposite the short-bearded scribe is the youngest here, and he looks about twenty. He smiled and smoothed things over: "Brother Wang Chuan's little move, not only Mr. Li Xiange and Mr. Peng Shige paid attention, but Even my father told me to come and ask me what happened."

Li Yuanzhi almost shivered.

Li Xian, that was the former emperor's important minister, the current chief minister of the cabinet, a person with power all over the world, who would pay attention to the unknown Xu Chun in front of him!
Peng Shi, who was also the No. [-] scholar, joined the cabinet with Shang Ren at that time.However, Shang Ren was deposed by the late emperor, while Peng Shi survived the wind and waves for many years, and such an old and cunning cabinet minister also paid attention to Xu Chun's movements? !
Li Yuanzhi felt that his brain was not working well.

Before crossing, she had studied history and performed related tasks, specializing in the study of famous figures in the Chenghua period of the Ming Dynasty.

But I have never heard of a celebrity named Xu Chun!
Xu Chun just said with a smile: "It was a temporary idea to take the exam, but it's hard for the two old elders and Cheng Guogong to worry about me. Come, have another drink, as an apology. I have disturbed everyone."

Xu Chun signaled Li Yuanzhi to continue making tea.

Li Yuanzhi was stunned and poured water obediently.

"Do you know your rank in the imperial examination?" the gray-shirted youth persuaded.

"There are only a few dozen people on the left, and less than a hundred people." Xu Chun smiled lightly.

Li Yuanzhi knelt and sat between Xu Chun and the short-bearded scribe, feeling as if the ice and snow had melted and the breeze was warm.

"No. 29! No. 20 and nine!" The voice of the gray-shirted youth suddenly rose an octave, and it was hard to hide his excitement!
"If it wasn't for you being too pushy, after finishing the Qiu Wei exam last year, I will take the Chun Wei exam this year, and wait for three years to take the exam again. Not to mention the top three, a golden palace biography will not be able to escape!"

Li Yuanzhi couldn't help being surprised, and glanced at Xu Chun beside him.

Just when Xu Chun's eyes swept over, she saw a little joy flow in his cold eyes.

This person is too heaven-defying!
Her elder brother, Fang Shouning, had been preparing for the exam for a scholar for about seven years. He studied hard at the Xu Clan School for three years before returning to the capital to take the county and government exams and was awarded the title of scholar.The whole family can't wait to have a big banquet with guests!

But he was just slightly happy?
The short-bearded scribe coughed lightly: "You are not a fish, how do you know the joy of fish?"

Xu Chun echoed with a smile: "I was just taking the exam for fun, and I didn't become an official. What's the use of my ranking?"

Everyone was speechless.

Others spent their entire lives in the imperial examinations just to be able to become an official and become a master. He played like a Jinshi, but he didn't plan to become an official?
The jade-faced youth said: "Others don't know the hardships Brother Wang Chuan has put in behind his back, but I know it. I went to see Brother Wang Chuan during the dog days. He had a wet handkerchief around his neck, his feet were in the stream, his hands I'm still holding a book and thinking hard. If it weren't for this spirit of perseverance..."

Before the Yumian youth had finished speaking, a young man came to report from outside the gazebo: "Mr. Cheng sent someone to report that Mr. Li Ge's father passed away..."

All four were shocked.

Even Xu Chun, who was reclining, stood up, and he patted the shoulder of the young man in gray shirt: "Brother Zijie, please forgive me."

Everyone didn't care much, and got up and left one after another.

In the blink of an eye, Fang Yuanzhi was the only one left in the lively gazebo just now.

who am I?
where am I?
What am I going to do?
Only three philosophical questions remained in Fang Yuanzhi's mind.

Fang Yuanzhi listened to the corner for a long time, a little stunned.She followed her mother-in-law to Liangyilou.

Then Cheng Guogong should be Zhu Yi, the current Nanjing defender?
This is the highest position in Nanjing. It is mainly responsible for the military and national affairs in Nanjing, and it also has a deterrent effect on the entire situation in the south of the Yangtze River.

Jiangnan was the focus of finance and taxation of the Ming Dynasty, and Nanjing's defensive role was the most important.

Cheng Guogong Zhu Yi, why do you care about this Xu Chun?
The mother-in-law's eyes flickered slightly, but she still asked: "Miss Fang, why don't you change your clothes before going over?"
