I go to the ancient imperial examinations

Chapter 627 Missed
The news of the trouble caused by the eldest daughter of the Zhe family has spread back to the back houses of the various families in the capital, and the wives and ladies of the family should just listen to it for fun. After all, since last year, it has been common for Zhe Jing to chase the eldest son Ning all over the capital. .

"What did you say? Zhejing's nursing home was beaten?" The young lady who was drinking tea from a teacup gasped, and the big servant girl who was serving at the side glared at the little girl who reported the news. Pass it over.

"It's okay." The young lady wiped the tea stains from the corner of her mouth, looked at the panicked little girl with interest, and said with a crisp smile, "Tell me carefully? Did Zhejing kick the iron plate this time?"

No wonder she gloats so much, Zhe Jing's guards are those who retreated from the battlefield. It is said that they are the elite of the Zhe family, but they had to retreat because they injured their eyes on the battlefield.

Even so, with Ada's skills, he should have followed the men of the Zhe family, but he became the guard of a girl's family in Zhejing, which is enough to see how much Zhejing is favored in the Zhe family.

Seeing this, the little girl vividly described the situation in the inn at that time, "I heard that Miss Zhe wanted to beat people with a whip at that time, and that girl had a guard beside her, and her skill was much stronger than that of Ah Da. If it wasn't Mr. Ning who made the rescue, it is estimated that Mrs. Zhe would be injured."

"Okay, let her keep the whip in her hand, it's a hard stubble." The young lady clapped her hands excitedly and laughed, got up and walked to the inner room, "Prepare the pen and ink, I want to write a post for Pingyan and the others."

The charcoal basin burning in the inner room didn't look cold, and while the maid was grinding, she couldn't help but said worriedly: "Miss, that girl is from out of town, so she probably didn't know about Miss Zhe, so she acted recklessly."

The pen is a neat and beautiful lower script with hairpin flowers. The young lady smiled without raising her head: "You only know one thing but don't know the other. Zhe Jing is only accompanied by Ada and she acts as if she is the only one who is favored at home. That little girl Although they are from other places, but the two servants who follow her are stronger than Zhejia's nurse, Zhejing still wants to take revenge, just wait, this will make a bigger joke."

Why do these girls let Zhejing go when they have a party? It is true that Zhejing is favored at home. The men of Zhejia are unreasonable and reckless for Zhejing. But it was unavoidable to be beaten by Zhejia with sacks.

Even if there is trouble in the court, firstly there is no evidence, and secondly, Zhejia ancestors have saved the life of the holy ancestor, Zhejia also has a gold medal for avoiding death, and the holy emperor is a benevolent and filial king, so this matter will be settled.

Another reason is Zhejing's domineering temperament aside, she also has a bit of martial arts skills. The girls from the aristocratic families in the capital are all well-known ladies, and if she confronted Zhejing, she really hit a mouse and touched a jade bottle. The gain outweighs the loss. So in the long run, they will avoid it if they can, and they will not be able to avoid it if they can't afford it.

But this time Zhejing was deflated, they must be happy, if they were not worried about offending Zhejing, a crazy woman, they would all want to post to meet that brave little girl.

The maidservant figured it out, and said calmly: "Miss is still thinking clearly, the maidservant is really a elm-headed maidservant, and the maidservant is accompanied by the maidservant, even if she is not from the capital city, she is from a noble family in the locality. Maybe it’s better than Zhejia.”

Zhan Feiyu, who lives in the inn, has no idea that he has become the number one target of the Zhe family's revenge, and has become the target that the daughters of various aristocratic families in the capital want to befriend. I think my head is going to be bald.

"Ah Nuan, do you think the teacher is going to flatter me?" Zhan Feiyu put down his pen and looked sadly at He Nuan who was sitting by the window and sewing, "I'm a little girl from the countryside, a wealthy family. Does my death have anything to do with my money? Teacher, this is clearly a difficult task!"

He Nuan raised her eyes and looked at her young lady who was puffing up her cheeks because of anger. She was obviously at Jiji's age, but maybe she was not tall enough. The young lady stared and pouted just like a few years ago. Grown up chubby little girl.

But when He Nuan took a closer look, he could find that Zhan Feiyu had undergone obvious changes. His chubby cheeks had lost a lot of weight, his eyes appeared bigger, his complexion was still fair and tender, and his facial features had also grown, giving him more women. His spiritual wisdom is graceful and graceful, and he is a little less childish.

"Miss, although this servant can read and write, she has never read history books." He Nuanjing looked at the few history books stacked more than a foot high, rather than flipping through the densely packed books, He Nuan would rather study her prescriptions And medicinal materials, although there are many, at least you don't need to spend too much brains. "I don't want to study anymore." Zhan Feiyu lay down on the table discouraged, she is now a scumbag who is tired of studying...

Relying on his photographic memory in the early years, coupled with the experience of living a whole life longer, Zhan Feiyu felt that although studying for the imperial examination was hard, but as long as he hangs his head and stabs his buttocks with a hammer, he can at least make it to 985.

But looking at the number of strategic questions that were reduced but soaring in difficulty, Zhan Feiyu felt that he, a scumbag, was about to be forced to death. This was clearly to get him into the top five schools, which depended on his brain.

Resentment is resentment, thinking that if you don’t get a top three Jinshi, you may not have much freedom in the future. Zhan Feiyu instantly revived with blood, and continued to study the "Book of the Later Han Dynasty" that was open on the desk.

Time passed little by little, He Nuan put away the obscene clothes he had made, looked at Zhan Feiyu who was sitting at the desk and studying hard, and slowly added more charcoal to the charcoal basin, and then quietly Withdrew without a breath.

It was cold in winter, and even a Lianjiazi like He Nuan shivered when he came out of the warm study room. After adapting to the cold wind outside, He Nuan was just about to go to the kitchen when he saw He Sheng striding over.

"Miss is studying?" He glanced sideways at the study, He Sheng lowered his voice and followed He Nuan to the kitchen, "Several groups of people came outside to inquire about Miss Xiao's situation."

"Zhejia's?" The first thing He Nuan thought of was Zhejing who had lost face before, wantonly whipping people without even a verbal conflict, He Nuan can imagine Zhejia's behavior style, not retaliating That is absolutely impossible.

In the kitchen were all kinds of vegetables and meat brought by the innkeeper in the morning. He Sheng helped to take out the fish kept in the wooden basin, and smashed it on the side of the basin with force, "Except for Zhejia's There are also the Ning family, and several other families, and they probably want to know where Miss is from."

He Nuan quickly began to prepare the dishes for lunch, and sneered, "This will be a trick for rats. If the lady stays in the inn for a few more days, I think she will do it."

If Zhan Feiyu went to the scholar's mansion, no matter how pampered Zhejing was by the Zhe family, he would never dare to retaliate, maybe he would force Zhejing to apologize.

A few years ago, the princes still wanted to suppress Gu Xueshi, or let their own people replace him, but the emperor was old for a year, and the princes were strong and strong.

Under such circumstances, the Holy Majesty trusted Gu Xueshi even more, and he was also more guarded against the adult sons who wanted to seize power, so Gu Xueshi's status in the capital was not to say that one person was below one person and above ten thousand people, but it was almost the same.

"Miss, why don't you go to the scholar's residence?" Although He Sheng has been with Zhan Feiyu for several years, there are differences between men and women after all, so He Nuan really doesn't know Zhan Feiyu better than He Nuan.

He Nuan frowned slightly after choosing vegetables, "Miss said that she wanted to live a few days of peace and quiet. Once she goes to the scholar's residence and her identity is exposed, she will not be as free as she is now when she goes out."

Although the reasons given by Zhan Feiyu were reasonable, He Nuan always felt that something was wrong, but He Nuan, who as a slave should not ask, would never ask, and she firmly believed that since the lady did this, she must have a reason for doing so.

Thinking of Gu Xueshi's current status in the court, He Sheng nodded in agreement, "Miss is most afraid of trouble, the capital is no more than other places, if it's just ordinary family children, it's fine, and it also involves princes and grandchildren, the lady's worries can't be ignored." It doesn't make sense."

It is true that the Holy Majesty does not want to see the adult princes now, and prefers the younger princes even more, but although the young lady is the only disciple of Gu Xueshi, she is indeed from a farming family. When he grows up, as a father, the Holy One will definitely favor his son or grandchildren, and the one who suffers in the end must be his young lady.

He Nuan also understood this truth, and couldn't help but look up at He Sheng who was scraping fish scales, "How is the situation with Qiye?"

If the most important courtier of the Holy Majesty is Gu Xueshi, then the most trusted nephew must be Yin Wuyan. The Jinlong Guard’s reputation in the Daqing Dynasty is definitely far better than it was a few years ago. On the other hand, he treats some people with a rare cold-blooded and ruthless attitude.

As the saying goes, the emperor and his ministers have to die, and the Holy One doesn't like the reputation of killing, so these bad names are all borne by the Forbidden Dragon Guard.

Wherever the Forbidden Dragon Guard went, not to mention court officials, aristocratic families, even ordinary people would avoid them, for fear of dying under the Yanling Sword of the Forbidden Dragon Guard.

"Master Qi probably will be able to return to Beijing a year ago." He Sheng didn't know much.

At night, even the noisy capital city during the day has quieted down by now. Even if there is no curfew, no one wants to go for a stroll outside in the cold winter night.

But at this moment, several figures appeared like ghosts in the dark night, and there was no sound of footsteps except for the sound of the wind.

After half an hour.

"Head, haven't you slept in the middle of the night?" The speaker forgot to lower his voice because of surprise, and looked at the lights not far away through the black hood.

If it is used for night watch, but the light is too bright, it is no different from daytime.

The leader of the man in black also frowned, his first reaction was that the other party guessed that someone would sneak attack tonight, so he came with a "please enter the urn".

Another subordinate also whispered: "Could it be a trap?"

Everyone in the capital knows of the reputation of his eldest lady, and it's normal for the other party to guess that they will come to retaliate, but it's just that they are so blatantly fighting, they don't think much of their family army.

"Have you found any abnormalities in the past two days?" The leading man asked again. After all, he is at the emperor's feet. No matter how arrogant the Zhe family is, there is a sense of propriety. The most important thing is not to leave any excuses. Ma Si, if there is no evidence, then Zhejia will be framed.

The subordinate in charge of inquiring about the news immediately replied: "It's been cold for the past two days, and the girl hasn't left the yard. The maids prepare three meals a day. The groom didn't go out except to feed the horses in the backyard. The rest of the nurse went out. On two trips, I only bought daily items and had no contact with other people."

Cheng Wu nodded. He also reported to the third son before.

If you came to visit relatives in the capital, you should have finished the two days. Even if there are any difficulties, you should go to inquire about relatives in these two days.

But after this little girl stayed in the inn, it was as if she had taken root. Those who didn't know thought it was her house.

"Head, shall we still do it?" A gust of cold wind blew through, making the few people hiding at the base of the wall shiver from the cold, but looking at the bright lights, it made people dare not act rashly.

"Why don't I go and find out the situation." The best subordinate of Qinggong said in a low voice, otherwise if you act recklessly, it will be dangerous if you are a trap.

After thinking for a while, Cheng Wu nodded, thinking of He Nuaneng's slap on Ah Da's face, he couldn't help telling him in a low voice, "Be careful, and retreat immediately if you find something wrong."

"Yes." The subordinate took the order, and the figure leaped over several people and approached the study room with candles like ghosts little by little.

In the study, Zhan Feiyu didn't notice anyone approaching, "The four generations of the Yuan family have given universal favors, and their disciples and former subordinates are all over the world. Once heroes are recruited and soldiers are gathered, heroes will rise up..."

The weak rulers and the strong ministers are the reasons for the prosperity of the nobles and nobles, but it is in line with the trend that the world must be divided for a long time, and the world must be united after a long time. of the people.

He Nuan glanced outside the window and suddenly said, "Miss, someone is here."

Zhan Feiyu put down his book and looked out of the dark window, "A Zhejia?"

His gaze stayed on the book in his hand again. Zhan Feiyu had also heard He Sheng talk about the Zhe family before. It's a folding family.

After the founding of the Daqing Dynasty, the ancestral land of the Zhe family was full of tombs, but only half of these new tombs contained bones, and the rest were clothes tombs. Countless men of the Zhe family died in battle on the battlefield, and shrouded corpses in horse leather became a luxury. , and more of them are no bones left, mixed with that side of the land, with the corpses of the comrades and the enemy soldiers, leaving only the gray-haired parents, weak and lonely wives, or children waiting to be fed...

Even today, Zhejia Erlang has someone die on the battlefield every year, and the old general Zhe is still guarding the border and has never returned, so Zhe Jing, an old woman, is not only spoiled by Zhe family members, but the Holy One also turns a blind eye. In the final analysis, it was just a quarrel between the girl's family. The worst thing the Zhe family did was beat up the men in the other family's family.

"Just knock people back." Zhan Feiyu said, this retreat was not because of Zhejing, but because of Zhejia's heroic souls who died on the battlefield over the years.

He Nuan nodded understandingly, watched Zhan Feiyu, who was reading at his desk again, walked towards the door, gestured to He Sheng who was guarding the door, closed the door and went back inside.

After a while.

"You..." Cheng Wu came out of the hiding place in shock, and looked at the men with the long swords around their necks. Even though his heart was already turbulent, his face was calm.

"Take your people and leave!" He Sheng withdrew his sword, took advantage of the situation and pushed the man towards Cheng Wu, and looked around a few times with his cold eyes.

Cheng Wu was startled again, the places the other party looked at were the hiding places of his subordinates, he thought they were lurking very well, but who knew that they had already been exposed.

"What an offence." After clasping his fists and saluting, Degree made a gesture, and led five of his subordinates to stop hiding, and left in unison.

It wasn't until they left the street of the inn that the six of them stopped and stood at a corner sheltered from the wind.

"I was discovered before I got close to the house. No wonder Ada is not my opponent. This person appeared silently like a ghost. By the time I found out, it was already too late." It can't be said that the skills are not as good as others, but that the fighting power of the two is not at the same level at all. The other party has no killing intent, otherwise I am afraid that my body will be decapitated.

"Head, miss really encountered a hard stubble this time." Another subordinate smiled wryly, pulled off the mask on his head, looked at Cheng Wu and continued: "Head, you also know that my five senses are naturally stronger than ordinary people, and I was able to live a long time ago. It’s also because of this talent, but it wasn’t until that person brought Xiao Liu over just now that I realized that there are still masters lurking in the dark, and the number of them must not be less than five.”

There is no need to say anything at this time, Cheng Wu and the others understand that the other party is not an ordinary Lianjiazi, but a dark guard of dead soldiers carefully cultivated by the aristocratic family, and only this kind of people have such terrible skills.

No matter how strong Cheng Wu and the others are, they can only be regarded as masters, but these dead soldiers and dark guards are the elite who are selected one in a million. The number of dead soldiers will not exceed 20. These 20 people can be said to be the most terrifying power of a family, and they are rarely used except to protect the family head and heirs.

Zhan Feiyu, a little girl, was not only accompanied by dead men, but not one or two, but there were six or seven, or even more, which made Cheng Wu tremble with fear, wondering who the little girl was.

……

folding home.

It was snowing outside the house early in the morning, Zhejing woke up early in the morning, waited for the servant girl to wait for her to wash, and then walked outside in big strides.

"Miss, put on the cloak quickly, it's snowing outside." The big maid held the big red fox fur cloak in both hands, and hurriedly chased after Zhejing to put it on.

Compared to Zhe Jing, she got up early, but at the moment in the main room of Zhe's family, the two daughter-in-laws, the first lady and the second wife, have come to pay their respects with their daughter and daughter-in-law.

"Miss is here." The woman who was waiting at the door hurriedly shouted, her face could not conceal her surprise. Although the young lady came to the madam every day, she did not come so early after winter. It was already high in the sun, and my wife didn't come here until she had eaten her breakfast.

Although the original words of Mrs. Zhe are that the girl's family can be more relaxed in the past few years in her mother's house, and it will not be so easy when she gets married and goes to her husband's house in the future, so Mrs. Zhe is very tolerant of this old woman, De Yan Rong Gong didn't care, as long as the youngest daughter lived comfortably.

Zhejing came here before Chenshi, no wonder the mother-in-law was so surprised.

He hurried into the house, ignoring the two sister-in-laws who greeted him. As for the younger generation, he was even ignored by Zhe Jing, "Mother, when did Cheng Wu and the others come back?"

"What's the best thing to do in the early morning rush, why don't you hurry up and say hello to your sister-in-laws." The old lady Zhe patted Zhejing's hand in feigned anger. Backed by her two elder brothers.

The two daughters-in-law can still hold back while they are alive, but one day they will go to the Hexian by themselves, and if Jing'er gets into an argument with them, she must be the one who will be wronged in the future.

Zhe Jing was a little annoyed, but she didn't dare to disobey Mrs. Zhe, she turned around and greeted the two sister-in-laws, and also received the gift from the juniors, then she looked at Mrs. Zhe aggrievedly.

Knowing that her daughter is impatient, Mrs. Zhe smiled and said a few words to the younger generation, "Go back when you are done, and study hard with your master. The Zhe family is the home of generals, but now that the country is prosperous and the people are safe, reading and literacy is also a way out. Even if you go to the border to experience in the future, you have to learn how to march and deploy troops."

This is what the eldest lady and the second lady respect the old lady most. Although the mother-in-law spoiled the sister-in-law and lost her sense of proportion, she has never failed to teach the juniors in the family. Even if Zhejia Erlang has no talent for reading, he still has to study , and Mrs. Zhe acted as the villain, forcing the younger generation to read and write, and it was exactly the same. The two sisters-in-law were also very tolerant of Zhejing, a non-sensical sister-in-law.

After Cheng Wu came to report the situation, the other servants in the room also retreated, and there were only a few hostesses left, and Zhe Jing didn't need to put on airs anymore, she couldn't wait to ask: "How is it? Did you help me?" Teach that bitch a lesson?"

Cheng Wu knelt down on one knee and pleaded guilty to the old lady Zhe, "Please punish the old lady for my negligence of duty. The guards next to him are very skilled in martial arts. We were discovered before we got close..."

"What did you say?" The sharp and piercing shout interrupted Cheng Wu's reply, Zhe Jing rushed over angrily, and cursed at Cheng Wu furiously, "Say it again? You guys missed it last night Are you so many people that you can't even deal with a cheap girl?"

No wonder Zhejing was so annoyed. After losing face in the inn, several daughters in the capital held snow appreciation banquets, plum appreciation banquets, and poetry gatherings that afternoon. Which well-behaved family would give people The next post holds a banquet?

Zhejing didn't go out and knew that these people gathered together to watch her jokes, but no matter how powerful Zhejing was, it was impossible to prevent other girls from gathering together, so Zhejing was aggrieved for two days and waited for Cheng Wu to teach her a lesson Even Zhan Feiyu was ashamed.

Cheng Wu bowed his head and pleaded guilty, "It's because my subordinates are not good at learning."

"You bastards! Our Zhe family would rather have a dog if we keep you, at least he will bark at the enemy a few times!" Zhe Jing was furious, and seeing Cheng Wu's pleading useless appearance was even more furious. Coming together, he quickly stepped forward and raised his hand to slap Cheng Wu's face.

Mrs. Zhe and the two daughters-in-law were still surprised at the news that Cheng Wu and the others had missed, and when they noticed Zhe Jing's movements, it was too late to stop them.

Cheng Wu could dodge it then, but even the leader of the Zhe family's guards was inferior in status after all, and Cheng Wu didn't dodge Zhe Jing's slap.

There was a bang, and the crisp applause shocked the three of Mrs. Zhelao.

"Jing'er, don't mess around!" Mrs. Zhe yelled angrily, looking at Zhejing who raised her hands high and didn't know she had done something wrong. Mrs. Zhe was also very angry at this time, and slapped the table fiercely, " Whoever allowed you to mess around, you still haven't apologized to Commander Cheng!"

"I don't, they lost face to my Zhe family, why should I apologize!" Zhejing turned her head and shouted at Mrs. Zhe with red eyes, thinking that if the news spread, those bitches would laugh at herself , Zhejing's eyes were red with anger, and she ran out of the door.

"Mother, take care of your health. My little sister has such a straightforward personality. Don't get angry with her like a little girl." The eldest lady hurriedly got up and stroked the back of the angry old lady.

The second lady also said to Cheng Wu who was still kneeling on the ground: "Commander Cheng please get up, I will apologize to Tongling Cheng for my little sister."

"Second Madam killed her subordinates." Cheng Wu who got up immediately avoided the Second Madam who was apologetic, and they all knew what kind of temperament the Eldest Miss was.

After Cheng Wu retreated, the sister-in-law comforted the old lady for a while, and then they left together.
