Husband is extremely regent

Chapter 209
Dingfengbo Inn, room No. [-].

"You can see clearly, the carriage really entered Longyin Villa."

It wasn't until Chi Yu came to report that Murong Jing knew that she almost provoked a terrible person.

Chi Yu confirmed again and again: "Master Hui, this subordinate has seen it for real. The mountain and the imperial pen on the gate tower are absolutely correct. After my subordinate came back, I asked the shopkeeper. The shopkeeper said that now Now there is only one person living in Longyin Villa, and that is Mr. Fan Xing Fan who is well-known and has a very strong martial arts cultivation base."

"Fanxing is known as the number one son of Nanli. Regardless of his appearance or talent, he is first-class. Although he is not a scholar, he has already contributed to the court for a long time. Why does he want to participate in Chunwei?"

"Back to you, my subordinates have already inquired clearly." Chi Yu hurriedly sent the inquiring information one by one: "It is said that the current imperial examination was added by the emperor for him, and the purpose is to allow him to serve the court in a legitimate way."

After hearing these words, Murong Jing was silent for a while, and said after a long time: "Forget it, the matter has come to this point, but luckily it didn't cause a catastrophe. We came to the capital a bit late this time, and we don't know the inside story of many things. It's true that the emperor's footsteps are everyone's fault. For your honor, please tell me all the news you have inquired about."

Chi Yu recounted what he had heard, and finally said: "In short, Brahma is the number two figure among the younger generation in Kyoto, and even the Prince's companions dare not disobey his words."

"Where did Fanxing go to recently?"

"Han Yuan." Chi Yu replied immediately.

"Is there anything special about Han Yuan?"

Murong Jing found that she was a few days late, and she really missed a lot of things.

Chi Yu quickly replied: "Young master, Lu Wenxiang and Miss Lu Xu are temporarily staying in Hanyuan."

"Miss Lu Xu?"

Murong Jing concentrates on studying and rarely asks about outside affairs, so she doesn't know the situation of the father and daughter.

"Master Hui, Lu Xu is the only daughter of Lu Wenxiang, and she is deeply loved by the women in the harem. It's a pity that she has been bedridden for many years and rarely goes out."

Chi Yu quickly explained to the master: "Lu Xu is known as the most beautiful woman in Nanli country. It is said that her back and hand can fascinate people. If you see her face, you will not be able to tolerate other women in this life." , is the public enemy of young women, the No. [-] unpopular figure in the noble women's circle of Kyoto, and the business circle."

"Young women are jealous of Lu Xu's beauty, I can understand, why is Miss Lu Xu not even welcome in business circles?"

"As long as other women dare not buy any clothes and jewelry she has worn, the boss would be at a loss. Naturally, Miss Lu Xu is not welcome to visit their shop."

Mentioning Lu Xu and Chi Yu also became interested, and said with great interest: "The current emperor does not have a princess, and the women in the harem all raise her as a daughter. The food and clothing costs are comparable to the royal princess. It has never happened with any young lady. The situation of bumping into clothes and jewelry."

"Banxing is pursuing Lu Xu?"

"It is said that Ms. Lu Xu made a breakthrough in retreat, and Brahma is protecting her."

Chi Yu continued: "Three days of scientific research in Chunwei, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince guarded Miss Lu Xu for him, no one knows when she will leave the customs."

Murong Jing was silent for a while and said: "That's all for today. I'll learn about the situation in Kyoto later. No matter what, our Murong family will definitely have a place in Kyoto in the future."

"With the talent of your son, it is a trivial matter to gain a foothold in the capital."

Chi Yu knew that his master liked to hear good things, so he racked his brains to say something that sounded simple but was full of nonsense.

Murong Jing really calmed down and said: "You, don't think things are so simple. The Bo family has a deep relationship with the Nanli royal family. They have stood in the capital for nearly a thousand years. If you make a mistake, you will still be kicked out of the capital. You want to stand firm in the capital. It's not that easy on your heels."

"Historically, after the palace examination, an official position should be arranged. What is your plan next?"

Chi Yu guessed it but pretended not to know, some things are better for the master to say by himself.

Murong Jing sighed and said: "It's a pity that my Murong family is not inferior to the Nangong family in strength, but it's too long to live in Jiangping City, and the connections in the capital have already been cut off, otherwise I can stay in the capital with trust, and now I can only rely on myself Rebuild step by step."

"Young master's talent is no problem in the top three. Naturally, you can stay in the Imperial Academy, and you don't have to worry about not having the opportunity to rebuild your connections."

Chi Yu is quite familiar with the imperial court's employment system. Every year, the top talents in the spring will be immediately arranged into the Imperial Academy.

The top three Jinshi can not only directly enter the Hanlin Academy to study, but also become a key training target. Therefore, in the eyes of candidates from far away, the top three in the exam means that they will be able to gain a foothold in Kyoto in the future and win a foothold for their families. one.

"What if I don't get into the top three, my lord?" Murong Jing said slowly, "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon in Kyoto, there are countless capable people, and I'm not 100% sure, my lord."

"The subordinate's orders are given by the young master. Naturally, the young master will go there, and the subordinates will follow the young master." It is rare for Chi Yu to see that his young master is not confident, so he naturally speaks according to his wishes, but it is not what he wants.

To be honest, before today, he always thought he was pretty good, until he met the guard today.

People of a similar age are in the human realm, but I am only a mere seventh-rank, Fanxing is about the same age as the young master, but his cultivation is above the third realm, Kyoto is really Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.

The young master wants to stay, and he even wants to stay and improve his cultivation.

The two masters and servants were thinking about each other, but they were interrupted by a sudden knock at the door.

Murong Jing said lightly: "If anyone comes to see me, just say that I am tired and resting, if there is a post, you can take it first."

Chi Yu responded and went out to open the door, and quickly returned with an invitation card. He walked up to Murong Jing and said, "My lord, it's an invitation from the son of Beichen's family. You are invited to attend the literary meeting tomorrow. It's on the second floor of this inn."

"The Beichen family in Los Angeles?"

"It's the Beichen family in Luocheng, the second son Beichenmo is the one who invited you."

Chi Yu lowered his voice and said: "Bei Chenmo has not stopped for a moment since he arrived in the capital. He has made friends with many children from noble families in the capital, and he does not treat poor families favorably. You also have a bit of fame, young master, you want to participate."

"What's your opinion?"

Murong Jing suddenly wanted to hear Chi Yu's opinion.

Chi Yu was stunned for a moment and said: "This time the exam questions are tricky, everyone should not be interested, just sit together to comfort each other, it doesn't matter if you go and sit."

"Then go sit down."

Murong Jing is not a fool either. It stands to reason that as long as he wins the imperial examination, he can become an official. It's just that no matter how big or small the official position is, Zhongjinshi is a full-time official, while most of the candidates are deputy.

These people will all be in the officialdom, and there will always be days when they meet and seek each other. It is not inappropriate to establish a good relationship. Besides, just go and sit around, maybe you can take the opportunity to get to know the children of the aristocratic family in Kyoto, and gaining a relationship with them will be of great benefit in the future
East Palace.

After Mo Jinli received the report, he smiled and said, "It seems that everyone has a lot of ideas."

Baoguang said with a smile: "From my point of view, this is their last carnival. Today they laugh happily, but later they cry uncontrollably."

"Don't underestimate them, they might think so too." Mo Jinli thought of Fanxing's annoyed but resigned expression, and all the anger he had received in the past few years disappeared.

"The imperial examination should be held at the beginning of next month, and there will also be the No. [-] Scholar Banquet. Unfortunately, Ms. Lu Xu missed it again."

Baoguang couldn't help sighing as he said that, no matter what, any occasion with Lu Xu was always more lively, no matter how hard Miss Bie's tried, she couldn't achieve that effect.

Mo Jinli said thoughtfully: "Now that the government is stable, even if the Queen Mother's party is rebellious, there is nothing they can do. It's time to ask the emperor to rectify Madam Lu's name and return the honor of Miss Lu Xu's daughter, so that she can go to the court in an open and honest manner." feast."

"Your Highness wants to watch the excitement."

"You don't want to see it?"

"think."

Three days passed in the blink of an eye.

Qingluan saw Fanxing standing under the pear tree from his memory, and said in surprise: "The list is released today, sir, don't you want to take a look?"

Brahma turned around and smiled calmly: "I still have this bit of confidence, just let Gu Qi see it, and it will save you the trouble of greeting everyone, and it will not cause inconvenience or influence to others."

"If you want to watch the excitement, you might as well go out and have a look."

"I don't have time, my servant. The young lady left a lot of things before retreating. The servant hopes to finish it for the young lady."

Qingluan held up the drawing in her hand and said: "The clothing workshops and jewelry stores in Kyoto don't necessarily sell Miss's things. Miss is so angry that she decides to open her own clothing workshop and jewelry store to compete with them for business."

After hearing this, Fan Xing burst into laughter, it really was her nature, she took the drawing and read it carefully.

Seeing the dotted and solid lines drawn in the tailoring drawings, I found it quite interesting: "Xu'er's drawing skills are getting better, but I don't know when she will be able to draw properly."

"Master Wu's style of painting, it's not that Miss can't draw, but she finds it boring." Qingluan said with a smile: "Miss just likes weird things. In Liangzhou, Miss made a big painting. Paper kites can lead people to slide and fly from high places to low places."

"Anything else new?"

"There are also glazed pieces that can make the font bigger, and making ghost fires..."

Qingluan said a lot of things, and added: "So the masters in Liangzhou loved and hated the young lady, and then they simply ignored her."

Fan Xing couldn't help laughing and said, "Do you know what the first gift your lady gave me was?"

"I'll give you a gift!" Qingluan said in surprise, "Impossible, it's not the lady's style to give gifts. What did she give you?"

"Two eggs."

"?!" Qingluan was stunned for a moment and said, "Miss is really unique."

"Yes." Fan Xing recalled the scene at that time, and said with a smile: "Perhaps she saw that everyone gave them away, and she seemed out of place if she didn't give them away, so she took out two eggs and handed them to me, asking if I wanted to eat. "

puff……

Qingluan couldn't help laughing out loud when he thought about that painting.

But Fanxing sighed and said, "Even though it was only a year ago, it seems like a long time has passed."

Last year they were ordinary people, this year they have become extraordinary, so many things have happened in just one year, and now there are strong enemies staring at them, it is really a wave of unrest.

At this time, outside the yamen of the Ministry of Rites.

The apricot list has been posted early in the morning.

Chunwei's admission list should be called the examination list, because the release date is usually in March and April, when the apricot blossoms are blooming, so it is also called the apricot list.

Gu Qi didn't squeeze forward like others, but glanced at the top of the apricot list, and there were two words "Vatican", and his household registration Tianyu City was marked below, he was so excited that he clenched his fist and waved it. waved.

I quickly scanned the list of fifteen names in front of me, and was a little surprised when I saw No.2. When I turned around and was about to leave, I saw a familiar figure.

"Let's fight."

Chi Yu stepped forward to greet her, and explained her intentions openly
Seeing his frank behavior, Gu Qi cupped his hands and said, "I have to go back to report the good news to my young master, let's fight another day."

"I haven't changed the world." Chi Yu said helplessly: "My son is not in the top three, and he will leave the capital in a few days. If we don't fight today, I'm afraid we won't have the chance to challenge."

"I don't know if you don't often stay in the capital." Seeing that Murong Jing was No.4, Gu Qi explained to him: "In my dynasty, the top ten in Chunwei can all participate in the palace examination, and there will be a champion banquet held in the palace later. , anyone on the list can participate, you don't have to rush today."

"Can all the top ten participate?"

"It has always been like this."

Chi Yu said gratefully: "Thank you for reminding me, I haven't asked your name yet."

Gu Qi said: "I rank seventh in the next family, hence the name Gu Qi, which inn do you live in, I will look for you when I am free."

"Dingfengbo Inn."

"I will look for you before the imperial examination, so farewell!"

Don't pass Chi Yu, Gu Qi hurried back to Hanyuan, and everyone knew the result from the smile on his face.

As expected, Fanxing was not too surprised, but Qingluan handed over a tray of purses and said: "The master told me before going out that there will be many people congratulating after the announcement. I specially prepared these purses for you to pick up later. Come to reward people."

"Lu Xiang has a heart, thank you in person when he comes back."

"Thank you, we will be a family soon, you don't have to be polite."

Qingluan put the tray on the coffee table, and Gu Qi took advantage of the opportunity to pour himself a cup of tea and said: "I am not only here to see the ranking of the young master, but mainly to know who are the top fifteen people. Does the young master know No. .2 Who is it?"

"I know?" Fan Xing.

"I know." Gu Qi replied affirmatively.

"Who?"

"Guangxin Hou Mansion, Lin Weifeng."

"He actually took part in the imperial examination, I really didn't expect it!"

Fanxing said with emotion, if he hadn't participated in the imperial examination, he would have been the number one scholar.

Gu Qi continued: "No.3 Beichen Mo, No.4 is Murong Jing, No.5 Wang Rugui, No.6 Xiao Chen, No.7 Baili Wuhua, No.8 Ouyang Zilu, No.9 Hua Jing, No. .10 Li Jiangchen... No. 15 is Lu Zhen, registered in Kyoto, so I don't know if he is the son of the Lu family."

Judging from the list, the top fifteen major aristocratic families accounted for a lot of places.

Among the 30 people that Mo Jinli asked him to pay attention to, three of them entered the top fifteen by cheating, which was somewhat beyond his expectation

Obviously the purpose of the other party is to sneak into the court and obtain more core information for the master behind it. However, the helpers the queen mother found for them are only mediocre.
