The heroine Jiangshan

Chapter 85 Chu Qingbo

"Hey, they are all scribes, no one else."

Yun Ruochen scanned all the people upstairs seriously, and muttered to himself in disappointment.

Gu Che heard it, and looked at her inexplicably, leaned over and asked in a low voice, "What kind of cultural event is this? Although I haven't participated in it...but they must be scribes?"

Yun Ruochen sighed and said, "I thought there would be many famous prostitutes and beauties..."

"Uh."

Gu Che didn't expect Yun Ruochen to say this, he almost choked and couldn't answer at all.

What is going on in the mind of the little princess?

She worked so hard to get rid of the group of followers, disguised as a man and followed her husband and herself, was it to see those legendary "famous courtesans"?
In fact, Yun Ruochen was right in thinking so.

Since she came to the Qing Dynasty, she lived in the palace, met the emperor, visited the night market, and experienced life at the top and the bottom, but she had no chance to experience the most extravagant, splendid and fascinating brothel scenery.It must be very interesting to imagine the glamorous scene of red-sleeve tricks all over the building.

Thinking back to those famous literary clubs that have been handed down to the world, aren’t they all accompanied by famous prostitutes and fine wine?Talented man and beautiful woman, with flowing eyes, a beautiful and timeless picture can be cut casually.Dancing in the heart of the Willow Tower, singing in the heart of the peach blossoms, and the wind in the heart of the fan, the beauties graciously offer amber wine...

As a result, she ran over excitedly, and she didn't see any beauties with both talents and colors, let alone appreciate their singing and dancing.not happy!

Chang Shiyang and Tong Hao didn't know that their noble female disciples were thinking wildly. While they were busy greeting the scholars who came towards them, they couldn't help but turn their heads to look at Yun Ruochen who was dressed as a boy, with the same expression on their faces. out wry smile.

If they had known that the little princess was not an ordinary person, but he was not so ordinary, they had learned the lesson.

After they met on Changjie just now, the little princess said, "Please wait a little while, gentlemen and Ah Che, at the Sanyuan building first" and asked people to drive away.

Chang Shiyang and Tong Hao were puzzled, but it was Gu Che who knew her better, so he hurriedly explained to the gentlemen: "I'm afraid the princess wants to come here together."

"How does this work!"

Chang Shiyang immediately jumped up and waved his hands again and again.If the emperor knew that they ran around with the princess, it would be trivial to remove the teaching post, and their future would be over, maybe they would be punished secretly!
Although Tong Hao didn't react that much, he obviously disagreed.But Yun Ruochen's car drove away long ago, what should they do?Chase and stop?Not to mention the embarrassment, their legs and feet couldn't catch up with the carriage.

But if they want to take Yun Ruochen's words as a joke and go to the literary meeting on their own, they dare not.

Ever since Gu Che sneaked out to visit the night market with Yun Ruochen on the night of Lantern Festival, he knew that Yun Ruochen didn't have the word "fear of trouble" in his dictionary, and he was even more daring than himself in many cases.

"Gentlemen, the Princess probably wants to come over."

He could only persuade the two of them to accept their fate.Sure enough, they had just stood outside the Sanyuan Building for a while, when Yun Ruochen, dressed as a boy, appeared in front of the three of them as if emerging from the ground.

"Mr. Chang, Mr. Tong, it's okay for me to follow you there like this?"

Yun Ruochen was grinning, but there was a clear expression on his face, "Don't try to persuade me to go back, I just want to go to the Wenhui with you".

What can they do?
As for how Yun Ruochen managed to get rid of the mothers and maids who were bound to strongly oppose her, where did she leave the entire convoy, and even how she completely changed her appearance as a little boy in such a short period of time, and walked over by herself... ...Chang Shiyang and Tong Hao haven't had a chance to ask these mysterious riddles yet.

But that doesn't matter, anyway, from their own experience, they have already realized a little bit.That's when Yun Ruochen wants to do something, in fact, few people can stop her.

This recognition made Tong Hao silently update his evaluation of Yun Ruochen in his heart.It's not that he has never seen a woman who is soft on the outside and strong on the inside, but to Yun Ruochen's level, it is really the only one he has seen in his life.

"Shuhan, long time no see!"

A scholar with a Jiangnan accent rushed up to greet him before everyone else, and shook Tong Hao's hand with a very affectionate look.This scholar named Zhou Moran is somewhat related to Tong Hao's mother's family, the two can be said to be cousins.He was the one who invited Tong Hao over today.

It wasn't just this one, many people were familiar with Chang and Tong, and they all came over to say hello to them one by one.No one cared about Gu Che and Yun Ruochen, from their age, appearance and manners, it could be seen that they were young disciples brought by Chang and Tong.

After exchanging pleasantries, they were arranged to sit in the seats nearer the front, and both Gu Che and Yun Ruochen had their seats.Immediately afterwards, many candidates and officials came, and another group of people related to them rushed over...

Literati have their own set of rules for greeting, dealing with, talking and laughing.At the very least, those present were all Juzi, who had received a very systematic Confucian education.When they talk and laugh with each other, they can really make people feel the elegant adjectives such as polite and polite.

Yun Ruochen sat quietly in the corner, watching these romantic scholars shuttle back and forth in the field, and for some reason remembered the sentence "Qingqing Zijin, leisurely my heart".

"Well, although there are no famous prostitutes to watch and no music to listen to, this kind of gathering among pure literati has its own fun."

It was the first time for her to see such a scene, and the disappointment just now was slightly diluted before the freshness disappeared.

Tong Hao explained to her and Gu Che in a low voice that tonight is the first collective literature meeting of the three university clubs this winter, so there are quite a lot of participants.

"Three University Clubs?"

Yun Ruochen came into contact with the literary world for the first time, and casually asked Tong Hao what it was.

It turned out that these candidates who came to Beijing to rush for the exam not only made friends with each other based on their respective hometowns, but also divided into small groups for various reasons, called "Xueshe".The structure of these societies is very loose, and most of them are based on discussion articles.There are only a few people in a small society, and hundreds of people in a large society. This is also the unique atmosphere of the candidates.

Many societies disbanded after the first Chunwei exam, but if there are particularly outstanding figures among them, they may continue to gather.

However, among the candidates this year, it seems that there are quite a few outstanding talents, so a few university clubs have been integrated early.

One is the "Tai Xue Society" formed spontaneously by candidates from the Imperial Academy in the capital, the other is the "Seven Sons Society" formed by scholars from Jiangnan, and the last one is the "Qinghua Society" from the southeast.

"Seven Sons Society? Qionghua Society?"

Yun Ruochen almost laughed out loud.The former sounds a little pretentious, but at first it sounds like a society composed of a few narcissistic so-called talented scholars, while the latter is so vulgar that it is almost not written as "prosperity and wealth".

Relatively speaking, the latter seems cuter, right?At least directly.

In fact, these scholars have worked hard for ten years, aren't they all for the future?

Gu Che didn't listen to anything at all, just stuck on the seat like an old log.It's so boring, so boring, it's hard for the little princess to be so interested in pulling the teacher to ask this and that... When will I be able to go home?
Chang Shiyang also joined in the commentary. "Just now I chatted with my old friends, and they all said that Chu Qingbo's articles have been written even better. It seems that he has great hope of winning the Toad Palace this year."

"Chu Qingbo? He's not bad." Tong Hao nodded and said, "In Qionghua Club, his articles are the most decent. It's not all because of his family background that he was elected as the leader of the club..."

"Actually speaking of family background, hehe..." Chang Shiyang shook his head, seeing that no one was paying attention, he lowered his voice and said, "Many people have said recently that there is something wrong with Chu Qingbo's background."

"what is the problem?"

Tong Hao raised his eyebrows, and his curiosity was also aroused.

"Well, let's go back and talk about it."

Chang Shiyang is very cautious and does not want to talk too much about others in public places.

Yun Ruochen was hooked by half of their conversation, how could anyone gossip like that?Telling half and not the other half, what to do with a gossip person like her who is so curious!

"...Chu Qingbo, who is it?"

It's not good to ask other people's privacy directly. It's always okay to find out who this is, right?

Tong Hao said with a smile: "A plum in the south of the Yangtze River, and Chu Qingbo in the southeast. These are the two most popular romantic figures at present..."

The so-called Jiangnan Yizhimei refers to Wu Zusheng, the leader of the "Seven Sons Society" of Jiangnan Academy, who rose rapidly in the Jiangnan literary world with a poem "Yizhimei", and his articles are also extremely gorgeous.In this exam, he is Jiangnan Jieyuan, and everyone thinks he is the favorite to win the championship.

"As for Chu Qingbo..." Tong Hao paused, and said, "He is the only son of Chu Pingan, the governor of Southeast Water Transport, and he was born this year."

"what?"

Yun Ruochen whispered in surprise: "The second official?"

Hearing that this person's name is very elegant, she thought it was a son of a scholarly family, but he was the son of the Governor of Water Transport?That is really the No. [-] yamen in the southeast!
These days, she is studying with Chang and Tong, but it's not Baidu's. She asks them about the affairs of the court whenever she has the opportunity.Among other things, at least she has almost memorized basic issues such as the rank of officials in the Qing Dynasty and the responsibilities of local government offices.

That's why she insisted on asking the emperor to find a bachelor for her as a teacher.Follow the female officials, can you learn something that is not taught in these books?However, these things are the foundation of a dynasty's rule.

"Chu Qingbo's fame does not depend entirely on his family background..." Tong Hao had just finished speaking, when Chang Shiyang interrupted him and said, "Oh, isn't that Chu Qingbo? Why did he come here?"

"Hey, who is that next to him?"

Yun Ruochen followed the eyes of the two gentlemen and looked towards the stairs, and saw a white robe from a distance.

There are actually quite a lot of men in white in this building, but for some reason, the white robe made her feel extraordinarily white at first glance, so white that the people around were three points darker.

Ah, it's Zhao Xuan!
She was amazed to see Zhao Xuan, the son of Song Guogong who hadn't seen him for a long time, climbed the stairs from downstairs, his elegant appearance was particularly eye-catching among the scholars.But the person next to him...

That young man in the green robe and jade belt actually had a face that was more handsome than Zhao Xuan's, so beautiful that he could be described as "monster"!
"Look, that's Chu Qingbo."

Tong Hao's laughter rang softly in her ears.

　The monstrous Chu Qingbo appeared...
