Yipin Tianxia

In the imperial study room of the Xishan Palace, the faint scent of ambergris and the breeze blowing from the window made people feel more peaceful.

Cheng Ping, the former chief eunuch of the imperial court, respectfully reported to Gao Xian, the first founding emperor of Daliang, "Ping Guogong submitted the papers saying that all the test papers sent have passed the primary selection, and those with names and places of origin in the test papers, All the non-answers are stored in another place, and His Majesty can ask people to check them at any time."

Gao Xian smiled, the crow's feet at the corners of his eyes looked a bit deep, but in fact he is only in his 40s, which is a good time to be young and vigorous.But it doesn't look as white, fat and rich as people imagined, but black and thin, a bit like a big soldier, but he is very tall, with long hands and long feet, showing a bit of the legendary emperor's appearance.

"Is it possible that I can't believe my little uncle's work? Tell him that you don't need to look at the ones that haven't been sent up, and they will be stored with him. When the results come out, they will be returned to those candidates in public, so that everyone in the world will know what happened. Something happened."

Taiping frowned slightly when he heard the words, he was a few years older than the emperor, he was originally Gao Xian's domestic slave, and he also had a wife and children, but because he served his master for many years, the master and servant love each other deeply, and because Gao Xian ascended the throne as the emperor, he was in the way of the palace. According to the rules, he had to choose the imperial punishment to serve close to him, and he was more able to talk to the founding monarch than ordinary eunuchs.

So he remonstrated, "Although your Majesty has good intentions and wants to warn the world, most of these talents are still young people. It is inevitable that they will do something wrong in a moment of confusion. If you return the test papers in public, it will affect the whole family. If you don't seal it up, let him in time The whole family should be clear about it.”

Gao Xian smiled when he heard the words, "I originally wanted to severely stop this trend. You are kind. Well, let's let this happen for now. But if there is another crime next time, it's not as simple as announcing the name."

Cheng Ping said, "That servant thanked His Majesty for his kindness on behalf of the examinees. It's just that Ping Guogong's book also said that although he passed the primary election, there are still 470 test papers to be submitted. If it's all up to His Majesty to read It’s too time-consuming, not to mention, it’s really too hard. It’s better to ask the ministers of the court and the princes to read the papers separately, first draw up a general order, and then submit them to His Majesty. If you are worried that someone will tip off the letter, please ask the people who read the papers to work hard for a few days and concentrate Review in one place. If one person’s opinion is not biased, each paper can be judged by three ministers.”

Gao Xian nodded again and again, "Little uncle thinks very carefully. This idea is good, and I will pass it on to the prime minister later. Pick a few people to handle the matter."

Taiping said again, "Duke Ping also asked, if the person selected by His Majesty, there will naturally be other arrangements, but for the person who was not selected, will you give another chance to keep it as a backup? What if the person selected earlier is not qualified for His Majesty?" Entrust. There just happens to be a substitute. Besides, many scholars have come from two or three thousand miles away, and it is really not easy to go back and forth. I also ask Your Majesty to make a divine order."

Gao Xian sighed. "It's really embarrassing for my little uncle. He's thoughtful about everything. If he comes to the court to help me, wouldn't it be another arm for me? It's a pity that his body... Sigh, on such a hot day, even Xishan can't come .”

Tai Ping persuaded, "The imperial doctor said that Duke Ping's body is weak and cold. He's not that afraid of the heat. So this time his wife has also come over. I think it's not a big problem for Duke Ping to be in the capital."

Gao Xian nodded slightly. "My aunt is notoriously virtuous. She is willing to rest assured that my little uncle is indeed in good health. But this time I have done so much for me, so I still have to make up for it. Go to pass on my will and bring Send more of the Cordyceps and bird’s nest that you just got in the palace to Duke Pingguo. By the way, give it to his daughter—”

Taiping hastily added, "Master Ruian County."

"That's right, the two hundred households in Jiashi Town, head of Rui'an County, also made him happy."

"Yes."

Ouyang's house.

Nianfu was so bored that he could only tease the elder brother in the stable with a piece of grass. When Zixiao finally got impatient and dismissed the candy in her hand, Nianfu felt that he could not go on like this any longer.

After clapping her hands, she went back to the yard, planning to play with someone else.

Since the last quarrel, she and Ouyang Kang, Ouyang Kang and Ouyang Zhuang have all fallen into a cold war.The two minor physical problems have all recovered, but they both awkwardly treat each other as air in their hearts. Even though they live in the same courtyard, the atmosphere is extremely dull.

Of course, no matter how awkward the two of them are, it's the brothers' business after all, and Nian Fu's main concern is another matter.

It's been seven or eight days, why haven't Lan Gu and Mo Yun gone to Beijing yet?Is something wrong?Besides, they have been late, how can Nianfu go back?

He wanted to ask Ouyang Kang to mention it, and ask Ouyang's family to send a few servants to inquire about it, but this kid's situation is really pitiful, and after so many days, Ouyang Jin has never summoned him once.Just hang him in this small courtyard, as if there is no such person, completely ignoring him.Asking him to carry it, I'm afraid it's like a duck's back splashing water, which has no effect at all.But you can't just leave it alone, right?

Nianfu thought about it and decided to go directly to Ouyang Zhuang.Of course, this is not reconciliation with Ouyang Kang in disguise, she will not sympathize with that awkward guy!

But when he arrived at the gate of Ouyang Zhuang, he unexpectedly saw Ouyang Kang coming out of it.Seeing her, with a stinky face, he went back to the room without saying a word.

Nianfu followed curiously, "Are you reconciled?" Is this the brotherhood of loving and killing each other?

Young Master Ouyang glared at her, "What's this called? I just asked him to send a few people to look for Lan Gu and Mo Yun." After a pause, he turned his face away again, "When someone comes, we Get ready to go home too. If you leave earlier, you can still go home for the New Year.”

He was overjoyed at first when he read the blessing, and then suddenly felt sad for him.After waiting for so many days, my own father doesn't even want to see him, is he completely desperate?

But since Eldest Young Master Ouyang lowered his head first, Sister Mu won't be petty.She nudged him with her elbow, and the girl smiled very brightly, "Hey, since you have decided to leave, why don't you go to the capital together. It's so boring to be bored at home every day."

"No!" Ouyang Kang flatly refused, still with a long face, but added in a low voice, "If you want to go, you can go by yourself."

Seeing his strange expression, Nianfu was startled, and suddenly understood.

He has no money.

All their money is in the Langu car, where can they have money to hang out?Only she still had 200 taels of silver stolen from Ouyang Jin on her body.

Rolling his eyes, Nianfu put on a pitiful face, "Oh, the capital is so big, a girl would be scared when she goes out for a stroll! What if you meet bad guys? Even if there are no bad guys, but when it's windy and rainy, Thunder and lightning, if people panic, they will get lost and can't find home! How can I go out alone? I'm too embarrassed to ask your family to accompany me, why don't you go out with me, just go out for a while and come back .”

Pulling the sleeves for her and shaking them left and right, and listening to the sweet loli voice, young Ouyang's goosebumps fell all over the floor, and he couldn't hold back immediately, "Okay, okay, I'll go with you. Really trouble!"

Done!Nianfu felt that he was starting to feel the pulse of this kid a little bit, whether he was soft or not hard.

Quickly went back to the room, packed a bag and came out, let's go shopping!

■

Qinglong pawn shop.

A man had just opened the blue cloth curtain to come in with a package in his arms, when he saw two young men, a man and a woman, arguing with the clerk at the tall counter.

"Our cloth is brand new and has not been touched at all. It is sold in silk and satin shops outside, and it costs five taels of silver for a single piece. How come you come to pawn it and only pay one tael for two pieces? Could it be that we are foreigners? Intentionally bully us?"

The man frowned when he heard that, he couldn't help but tighten the package in his arms, and stood at the door hesitantly.

I saw the guy said unhappily, "What do you mean deliberately bullying you? Can the things sold outside be the same as the things sent to the pawn shop? God knows where you got them, and the price is the same. Love Wrong!"

"Then we're wrong! It's better to keep it for yourself than to suffer from you!"

Two young men passed by the man angrily, and the clerk inside looked at the man again and asked angrily, "Do you have anything to pawn?"

The man quickly shook his head and followed him out.

The buddy rolled his eyes in disdain, "You bumpkin, what good things can you have?"

Just as he finished speaking, he unexpectedly received a thump on his forehead.The shopkeeper came out with a dark face, "Dogs look down on people! Good business has been ruined by you. In our business, we pay attention to exorbitant prices and pay back the money on the ground, but has your master taught you the word honesty?" The girl’s cloth can be collected at a [-]% discount. You lowered it so low, you just want to do something yourself, don’t you? And that guy, his package looks like an antique, maybe it’s You bastard ruined this ancient relic. From now on, you will be an apprentice for another three years!"

The clerk got off the counter disheartened, but Nianfu outside was still very angry.

Ouyang Kang comforted, "Forget it, isn't it just two bolts of cloth? It's not a burden to take home. Maybe you can sell it at a high price when you go back to Huai'an?"

Nianfu thinks about it, but he still can't help complaining, "I was going to sell at [-]% off, but that guy actually said that, I'm so pissed off!"

"Don't be angry. If you want to exchange money, take it back and sell it to me. Do you think we should sell something and bring it back to make him a fortune?"

Nianfu was startled, "Why are you interested in doing business?"

Ouyang Kang shrugged, "You can't just do nothing like my third uncle, right? I thought about it, and after I went back, I divided up the family. Later, I took my grandmother to live with me, and went to buy some fields and farms. Slow can also have a gain."

Knowing that he figured it out, Nianfu also smiled, "It's best if you can think that way. Then are you still angry with your brother?"

"I'm going to be angry, and I won't go to him today. It's not his fault anyway, so what's the use of blaming him?" Ouyang Kang took the opportunity and finally apologized to her awkwardly, " I'm sorry, I shouldn't have lost my temper with you that day." (To be continued.
