Chapter 823 Live Well

Within a few days of Liu Yusheng's arrival in the capital, he became an "inquiry". He listened to all the affairs of the various houses and courtyards in the capital, but he listened to everything that went beyond the fence.On this day, Liu Yusheng heard that a bookstore seemed to be secretly selling test questions guessed by various celebrities, so he wanted to drag Chen Xin along.

Chen Xin knew that most of these things were not credible, so he didn't have much intention to go out, but in the end he didn't hold back Liu Yusheng.

As soon as the two of them entered the street, a little beggar bumped into Chen Xin, and ran away without looking back, not seeing a carriage approaching not far away.

When he came to his senses, he was already standing in the middle of the long street, staring blankly at the carriage rushing towards him.

Chen Xin quickly went up and hugged the little beggar, and fell to the ground together with him.Seeing two people blocking his way, the horse was frightened and roared loudly. Fortunately, the groom had some experience and calmed him down in time.

Before the two got up, there was a scolding voice from above: "You are so bold that you dare to ram into your carriage."

Chen Xin frowned, looked at the little beggar on his body, and said after making sure that he was safe and sound: "Just now you obviously had the opportunity to pull the rein, why didn't you pull it, and almost knocked down this child."

He could see clearly then that it would never have happened if they had pulled the reins.

Liu Yusheng hurriedly stepped forward to help the two of them up, and the man jumped off the carriageway: "At the foot of the Son of Heaven, all the dignitaries and dignitaries come and go, the officials shouted that the idlers should stay away, but you bumped into my lord's carriage just now, and you were shocked. My lords, this is enough for your heads to pay."

Chen Xin stood up: "Who is your lord?"

He wants to see what kind of person it is who is so arrogant and disregards human life.

The man sneered: "Sure enough, he is from the countryside. He doesn't even know Mr. Wang's carriage."

Chen Xin was taken aback for a moment, thinking that it should not be such a coincidence, but Liu Yusheng looked carefully at the carriage and saw the badges on the bodyguards, and said to Chen Dao, "Brother Chen, we are really close friends, and the person sitting in it is probably Wang Gulin. .”

When chatting with the waiter at the inn these few days, he specifically asked about Wang Gulin's situation.

"Qin Rui, why don't you leave?"

Wang Gulin's old and hoarse voice came from inside, and Chen Xin clenched his fists. He thought that when he saw him, he should have passed the palace examination. On the day of the first prize in high school, he wanted Wang Gulin to look at Liu Funeng. The students, boarded the hall, and were handpicked by the Holy Majesty.But I never thought that the first meeting would be like this.

The wind blew over the curtain of the carriage, revealing Wang Gulin's half-penetrating eyes, which made Chen Xin tremble, and Qin Rui replied to Wang Gulin: "My lord, you are just two ignorant country weeds. People, don't understand the rules, offend adults."

Wang Gulin snorted coldly: "Since it is the grassroots who see me, why don't you kneel?"

Qin Rui was about to say that he was negligent, but Chen Xin raised his head and stared at the inside of the car and said, "The two of us already have the reputation of raising people, even if we meet an official, we don't have to bow down."

Having said that, seeing the prime minister of the current dynasty, there is no one who does not want to curry favor, so most of the disciples bowed down when they saw Wang Gulin.

Wang Gulin stretched out his wrinkled left hand and opened the curtain, the groom hurriedly stepped forward to hold it for him, Wang Gulin looked around the two of them, and said slowly: "Excuse me, who are you?" The gesture of the ground?"

If it was an ordinary person, he would be in a panic at this time, for fear that he had offended Wang Gulin. After he learned his name, he only needed to talk to the examiner, and he might be expelled.

But Chen Xin kept his head held high and said unyieldingly, "Chen Xin, a villain, is from Beiguan Village, Pei County."

The look in Wang Gulin's eyes was fleeting, and then he smiled and said, "So you are Chen Xin."

Wu Zhong was demoted, Fu Zhen was imprisoned, and Yu Wang, who was married to his granddaughter, was also forced to return home. Chen Xin hadn't stepped into the capital yet, but every step he took was shaking his position.

Chen Xin stared at Wang Gulin, completely forgetting what Liu Funeng said when he entered Beijing, he must not be too sharp, especially in front of Wang Gulin.

Wang Gulin looked at Qin Rui: "The long street hurts people suddenly, according to the court's law, one hundred people will be punished with a rod."

Qin Rui's face changed, he didn't know whether Wang Gulin was joking with him or he was serious, if it takes a hundred battles, he will be useless.

Chen Xin and Liu Yusheng looked at each other. They thought that Wang Gulin would cover up his subordinates, but they didn't expect to punish them severely, but their intuition told them that it seemed that it was not that simple.

Wang Gulin turned to Chen Xin: "Chen Juren, look at this punishment, are you satisfied?"

Chen Xin frowned, wondering what Wang Gulin was thinking.

When Chen Xin was hesitating, Lin Shang suddenly rushed out from the side, and hurriedly said to Wang Gulin, "Master Wang, Chen Juren is new to the capital and doesn't know the rules, please forgive me."

Wang Gulin smiled: "The rules are set by the imperial court, Mr. Lin's words are inappropriate."

"It's a villain who made a slip of the tongue, but Mr. Wang is busy with official duties and his subordinates are considerate, so he is in a hurry. This is a common thing, and you don't have to be harsh."

Wang Gulin glanced at Lin Shang, sat back, half of his face was buried in the darkness again, Qin Rui listened to him and said, "Thank you Mr. Lin soon."

Qin Rui immediately reacted and thanked Lin Shang, pulled down the curtain, got into the carriage and let the groom drive forward.

Seeing that Wang Gulin had left, Lin Shang let out a sigh of relief: "Do you know that Qin Rui is the son of Qin Ming, the deputy commander of the capital, if he knows that you have deposed his son, can he forgive him?" Are you?"

Chen Xin found it ridiculous: "Why would the son of the deputy commander serve as Wang Gulin's bodyguard?"

"Since ancient times, officials with power have enjoyed the word power. Do you know how many people in the capital want to curry favor with Wang Gulin, not to mention sending a concubine to be a bodyguard, and there are even many who send their daughters to be concubines. Now that Wang Gulin is old and has more energy than energy, I'm afraid there are many concubines."

Lin Shang pulled them to a teahouse and said: "What's more, the deputy commander is not a high-ranking official, and there is a commander in front of the palace. You know, this dynasty does not value military officers, and the people in the three yamen only have the right to command the army. , and has no right to send troops, Wang Gulin is an old man of the two dynasties, he wants a reliable bodyguard to save face, the emperor will let him go."

Liu Yusheng leaned closer and whispered: "I heard that he married his granddaughter Dong Yuzhen to King Yu, and King Yu felt that with such a powerful old man, he wanted to fight for the throne."

Seeing his appearance, Lin Shang laughed: "You don't have to be so afraid of publicity. If you were married to the granddaughter of a powerful minister, it's hard to guarantee that you wouldn't have this idea. It's not a secret. Although King Yu is pure-hearted, Dong Yuzhen is extremely With skill, she was able to persuade King Yu to join this battle for the throne, which is also within everyone's expectations."

Chen Xin looked at Lin Shang, whom he hadn't seen for a year, and felt that he had changed a lot. Lin Shang in the past was like the King Yu now. It was just a polite way of saying, but in fact he didn't care much. Now he has stayed in the capital for a long time. , opened up a lot of horizons, and the insights are much deeper than before.

"Okay, let's not talk about them, let's take a look at our brother Chen, how colorful the journey has been, it is really impressive, and it is admirable."

Chen Xin knew that Lin Shang was making fun of him, so he glanced at him and said, "I hope you have learned more in the Imperial College, not learned more flattery."

Lin Shang raised his head and laughed: "Brother Chen and I will refer to it together. Brother Chen will see if I am on the list, and you will know how much I have learned."

Chen Xin just smiled and said nothing, Lin Shang was deeply favored, how could he not be on the list, no matter how poor his knowledge is, under the system of grace, there are still small officials who can be appointed.

"By the way, the exam period is approaching, why are you still in the mood to come out?"

Lin Shang thought that these imperial examination candidates must be studying hard in the room, staying up late with lights on.But when he saw Chen Xin and Liu Yusheng, he didn't feel nervous at all.

Liu Yusheng said to him: "I heard that there is a book shop that sells some test questions predicted by celebrities, so I want to buy it and try it, maybe I will win."

Lin Shang shook his head: "I didn't expect Brother Liu to believe this. I had three or five friends before, and I bought it to see it, but it turned out to be pure nonsense. It was written by some low-ranking scribes to cheat money. Yes, if you want to hear the predictions of those celebrities, I have a place to go here."

"What is it?" Liu Yusheng asked curiously, and Lin Shang took out the invitation card and said, "This is a spring banquet held by all the candidates, and some famous people are invited to raise funds to come up with suggestions and questions. The group of people who took the exam must have the most experience, and you might as well go here instead of spending your money on that stupid book."

"How much does it cost?" Liu Yusheng saw that the banquet fee was not cheap, and he didn't know how many poor students since ancient times, in order to get a problem, sold their pot and sold their property, and finally ended up empty-handed.

Lin Shang also said: "It's not an ordinary number, it's just that no matter the poor or the rich will attend the banquet that day, even if they fail to guess the question, being a pre-examination will give everyone a sense of confidence."

This kind of banquet that I didn't go to when others went, and I would regret it if I didn't pass the exam, was forced to go, and Liu Yusheng and Chen Xin had no choice.

After Lin Shang explained the matter, he stood up and said to Chen Daodao, "I have to go back to the Imperial College, Brother Chen, Brother Liu, so I can take care of myself."

Chen Xin nodded, turned around and was about to leave, but was stopped by Lin Shang hesitantly, and Lin Shang hesitated: "Miss Li, are you okay?"

Chen Xin turned cold: "Lin Shang, you have a family."

Lin Shang had no choice but to smile bitterly: "I just asked, and I didn't have any other ideas. What are you so nervous about?"

Chen Xin said coldly: "Don't worry, she is fine, don't worry about her."

Lin Shang nodded: "I'm relieved that she's doing well."

Chen Xin looked at him with a sage look on his face, and suddenly felt a little annoyed, until Lin Shang left, Chen Xin didn't say that Li Xiruo was on the street next to them.Chen Xin only hoped that they would never meet each other in this life.
