Jiapingguan Chronicle

"Enke Zhuangyuan?" Xue Ruitian looked at Shen Cha, then at Bai Meng, and found that both of them looked at a loss, then looked at the thoughtful Shen Haolin, and raised his eyebrows at him, "Hao Lin, who is it? Which scholar is so overwhelmed?"

"How do you talk?" Song Jue rolled his eyes angrily, and threw a pear at Xue Ruitian, "What's wrong with Princess Shuangzhu?"

"I didn't mean to say that the princess is bad, but I just think that the number one scholar promised to win the princess because..." Xue Ruitian took a bite of the pear that Song Jue threw, and raised his chin at him, "You touch your conscience , ask yourself if you can’t think about it.”

"Hey, don't worry about your conscience." Song Jue sighed helplessly, "You're right, I really can't think about it."

"So, who is this unreasonable guy? Telling him will open our eyes and give us a lot of insight."

"If I remember correctly, he is the first county matriarch in the history of Daxia whose home was confiscated and the nine clans were wiped out?" Seeing Song Jue nodding slightly, Shen Haolin chuckled and said, "Then I know, indeed I remember correctly, the name of the Enke champion who couldn't think about it was Huai Lu, a person from Jiaxing, after winning the Enke champion, he offered to marry Princess Shuangzhu at the Qionglin Banquet."

"Active?" Shen Cha looked at Shen Haolin in surprise, and said puzzledly, "Han Chuang has studied hard for decades, and once he won the number one scholar, let alone that he can enter the court as an official, he wants to serve the country. To serve the people and the king, at least he has to be worthy of his decades of hard work? To be worthy of the kindness of his parents and family members in nurturing him? Just won the first prize, and he didn’t do anything serious, so he just asked to marry the princess. Why? Woolen cloth?"

"Xiaocha is right, this is not normal!" Bai Meng nodded, and began to count the so-called criminal evidence of the scholars with her fingers, "Look, you all understand the literati and students we contacted, don't say All, most of them are pretentious, right? Look at those people in the Hanlin Academy, look at those people in Yushitai, what kind of virtue are they? The eyes are on the top of the head, and they look down on this every day , Those who look down on that, raised their chins higher than anyone else, right?"

"That's right." Xue Ruitian nodded at Bai Meng, "That's the thing, they always think that they are very powerful, they are the pillars of the country, and one day they will enter the cabinet to pay respects or something, not to mention looking down on us warriors, they also look down on the emperor Family relatives, look down on..." He and Bai Meng turned their eyes to Song Jue at the same time, "Do you understand?"

"Understood." Song Jue sighed helplessly, "They just want to use my hands to realize their aspirations and ideals. As for the difficulties they will encounter in the process of realizing their aspirations, How many people will be unlucky, this is a question they don't think about. Once such a big mistake occurs, they will pour this pot of dirty water on me and accuse me of being stupid. This is a terrible thing they did It's easy, these years, if we hadn't had a clear mind, we would have fallen into their way long ago."

"Damn, let alone these years, hasn't it always been like this?" Xue Ruitian raised his eyebrows, and a sneer flashed across his face, "Excuse me, let's continue talking about this Enke champion. Take the initiative to ask to marry the princess, take the initiative to cut off your bright official career?"

"If something goes wrong, there must be a demon." Bai Meng looked at Song Jue with a puzzled expression on his face, "Either he met the princess before the Qionglin Banquet, or..." He paused, "He approached the princess just There is another purpose."

"Or a combination of the two. Anyway, his behavior is absolutely impure." Xue Ruitian threw the pear core into the plate, stood up to wash his hands, and said, "Just now Haolin said that Huailu's final ending is to ransack the family and exterminate the family. From this, it can be seen that he has indeed done something rebellious."

"You're all right." Song Jue nodded, "It's true that he had an impure purpose, and he did commit a treasonous thing."

"What have you done?"

"Don't worry, let's talk slowly." Song Jue chuckled and said, "Great-grandfather was also surprised that he took the initiative to marry the princess, although the princess and your second uncle..." He looked at Bai Meng, "Secret love, but I know it's impossible, so I also know that someone else will become a county horse in the future. As for Huai Lu, it is said that he is really good-looking. Although he comes from a poor family, he can be considered a pretty girl The appearance of the son, there were indeed many noble girls in Beijing who liked him at that time, and on the day the list was announced, there were also many high-ranking and wealthy families waiting for their son-in-law. I don’t want any more, I just wanted to cling to the royal family when I opened my mouth.”

"As for his behavior, there must have been a lot of gossip at the time. His contemporaries, I'm afraid they won't have any contact with him from now on, and they will stay away from him."

"That's right." Shen Haolin nodded, "But according to our No. Don't worry about your own future, and don't marry the princess."

"It's even more strange." Shen Cha rubbed his chin, looked at Shen Haolin, "Is there something on the Princess, is it what he wants?"

"Don't worry, listen to Haolin and I talk slowly." Song Jue smiled at Shen Cha, "After hearing what Huai Lu said, my great-grandfather sent someone to ask the princess, who admitted that it was true. , and asked the great-grandmother to ask the princess what she thinks of Zhuangyuanlang, what is her impression, etc., the princess said that she has a good impression and he is a talented scholar."

"At this time, the princess doesn't know about Zhuangyuanlang's proposal to marry?"

"Of course I don't know." Song Jue shook his head lightly, "Great-grandfather just thought that Zhuangyuan Lang drank too much for a while and talked nonsense, and he didn't take it seriously at the Qionglin Banquet. On the morning of the next day, Huai Lu mentioned this matter again, knelt on the top of the hall, and refused to be granted an official position. If it was only spread in a small area at that time, but this time it was the entire civil and military officials in the court, Even the royal relatives know about it." He spread his hands, "The news naturally reached Princess Shuangzhu's ears, she..."

"how is she?"

"agreed."

"Why..." Shen Cha was puzzled, "Why did she agree? Isn't the person she puts in her heart..." She looked at Bai Meng, "Is it so easy to let go? Doesn't it make sense?"

"It's very wise to end another relationship with one relationship." Yan Rong interrupted suddenly, recalling the letter left by his mother, and sighed heavily, "It turns out that they are all the same poor people."
