Twin Brocade

Chapter 29 Not in the Pond
Except for the entrance examination, it is impossible to enter the academy on weekdays.But it is only a temporary increase in the number of exams, and with Cheng Enhou's status and background, it can be done.

Quan Lu clutched the hem of her dress, thinking indignantly: If it weren't for the hateful faces of those clansmen, they would delay my brother's time.At this time, where is the need to ask Cheng Enhou for recommendation?

In her heart, she really didn't want to owe Cheng Enhou's favor.

Cheng Enhou took a deep look at Quan Moxian, laughed and said: "Okay! It's a little effort."

Even if he is Wu Xun, he knows a thing or two about the importance of Songxi Academy to scholars.Is it really the first day for this young man in Beijing?

Regardless of whether it was pointed out by someone or the information he found out by himself, this son is not something in the pond, so he should not be underestimated.

There are four treasures of study in Changxuan, Cheng Enhou signaled for the opera to stop, went to the desk and wrote a letter of recommendation.Press it with a paperweight and let the ink dry.

"After you are my old friend, if you can be named on the gold list, my face will also be honored." Cheng Enhou's attitude is not a little bit intimate, and said: "I have lived in the past, if you have any needs, just ask."

Quan Moxian responded respectfully, and said: "Xiaosheng is very grateful to have Lord Hou's support."

After the three of Quan's family left, Chengenhou Mosuo pulled the white jade on his thumb and ordered: "Go to Luqiu Town, Tangzhou, and find out what happened and the past with Quan Moxian."

The entire Quan family went to Beijing, and there must be some hidden secret behind it.

He fell into disaster many years ago and was rescued by Quan Moxian's father.Later, no one came to find him, so Cheng Enhou gradually forgot about it and stopped paying attention.

But since the old man appeared in front of him later, and he was of such good quality, he should find out clearly.

Perhaps, I can open a window for civil servants through investing in the young man Quan Moxian.

In the Gaomang Dynasty, Wu Xun and Wenchen were two completely different systems.It may be an exaggeration to say that they don't communicate with each other, but they don't like each other, and they rarely get married.

Wu Xun controls the army, while civil servants control the political public opinion in the court.

And like Cheng Enhou Xiao's family, it is only because of being the queen mother that they have favored the nobles with titles, and their status is the most embarrassing.Without the military power in hand, the words spoken in the court can't play a decisive role.

At this time, when Cheng Enhou saw Quan Moxian, the ambition that had been suppressed for a long time in his heart was ready to move again.

At dusk, Quan Moxian's family finally settled down in the house in Dongcheng.The house is not big, but it is enough for the three of them.Under the order of Cheng Enhou, Steward Liu personally accompanied them to settle down.

Among the children born at home, he picked an honest middle-aged couple to look after the Quan family.Another man with strong strength was found to do some rough work of carrying water and chopping firewood.

This made Aunt Quan thank you again and again.

After a day of tossing, there is always a place to stay.

They didn't have much luggage, just a few boxes on the carriage, and all the luggage was moved into the house.

It was getting late, Quan Lu went to the kitchen to boil water, quickly poured out a few bowls of noodles, and the whole family sat around the table, eating deliciously.

"Brother Xian, there is one thing I can't figure out."

Quan Moxian said with a smile: "Elder Sister, if you have something to say, just say it."

Quan Lu said: "The Fang family kept us with good words, but you don't agree. Even the disciples of the Marquis of Cheng'en's house are all snobs, and the Marquis only became better at us when he heard that you had won the Judgment."

"Why didn't you accept the Fang family's kindness, but instead agreed to Cheng Enhou? I think, if you have to accept the kindness of the family, the Fang family seems to be much easier to get along with."

This question involves too many aspects, Quan Moxian thought for a while, picked up a way she could understand, and said: "Eldest sister made a mistake in one sentence."

"Where is wrong?"

"No matter which one it is, we don't owe them any kindness when we accept their funding."

Quan Moxian said seriously: "The Fang family asked me to keep me. If I agree, the favor of saving Miss Fang's family will be redeemed. And the Marquis of Cheng'en owed his father a kindness in the early years. He took us in, but he only repaid the favor. That’s all for the life-saving grace of the year.”

"I want to become an official through the imperial examination, and I will keep a favor from the Minister's Mansion for a week, which is more useful than that from the Hou Mansion."

What he said seemed to make sense, Quan Lu nodded half-understanding, and suddenly shouted: "It's broken! If we knew this was the case, we shouldn't have accepted Fang's property."

Thinking of this, she couldn't sit still any longer, she got up and was about to run into the house, said hurriedly: "I'm going to return the things from Fang's family right now."

"Sit down!" Mrs. Quan said, "I don't even care what time it is, what a young girl looks like when she's taken aback."

Quan Lu sat down aggrieved, and muttered in her mouth: "Mother knows how to kill me."

Quan Moxian laughed, and said: "It doesn't matter if you have some belongings. The Fang family has expressed some good intentions, but it would be bad if you don't accept them. It's a big favor, and it's not so easy to offset."

Fang Jinshu is the eldest daughter's granddaughter, how could her status be worth nothing more than mere silk and silver?

Only then did Quan Lu pat her heart, cast a glance at him, and said, "You didn't say it earlier."

I'd like to say, Big Sister, you didn't even give me a chance.Quan Moxian said silently in his heart.

"Tomorrow I will take the letter of recommendation and go to the academy to sign up. Sister, take good care of your mother and manage the money." Quan Moxian instructed: "I will be back in the afternoon at most."

The Quan family had just arrived, and their eyes were smeared with the capital.

Right now it's not as good as being in Luqiu, Aunt Quan still has to spin thread to earn a lot of money every day.Quan Moxian was afraid that she would not be able to stay idle, and also worried that the two female relatives would feel uneasy at home.

Before he entered the academy, he would accompany them to visit the neighborhood and get familiar with the surrounding environment.

Once he starts studying, he will live in the academy, and he will no longer care about his family.

Seeing such a capable son, Aunt Quan felt relieved, and said cheerfully, "Go and do your own work, don't worry about the family."

The night was getting darker, and several people fell asleep after washing.

At the same time, the lights of Fang's house gradually went out.Only the candles were still burning in the main room of Mingyu Courtyard, Fang Shuyu went back to the room, discussing something with Si Lansheng in a low voice.

"What did you say?!"

The usual gentle expression on Si Lansheng's face was replaced by an angry expression, and there was blazing anger in his eyes.It is like a lioness protecting her cub when a lion cub is hurt.

Fang Shuyu quickly calmed her down, and said, "Don't be in a hurry."

He poured her a cup of warm tea with his own hands, stroked her back, let her drink it slowly, and calmed down her emotions.

After drinking tea, Si Lansheng took a few deep breaths, trying to calm down, but the burning anger in his eyes never faded away.

"Young girl drew some portraits of kidnappers, and the government dispatched arresters to Jiangxi Wharf, and found the traces of these people." Fang Shuyu slowly explained the whole story.
