Feng Qing Shaoyi

Chapter 1 Qi Mansion
In the 35th year of Zhaozheng in Southern Chu, the sun came out from the clouds and sprinkled on the ground, and it was golden everywhere.This warm color seems to be the color in people's hearts, and everyone is smiling, especially the palace examination candidates who have won the gold list this year.Ten years of hard study, just for the title of the current gold list.

Just a few months ago, the Gold List was released, and a group of talents stood out.People still remember the demeanor of the No. [-] Scholar, No. [-] and Tanhualang at that time, riding horses through the streets, hugging each other, so majestic.

Of course, there are joys and sorrows, and there are only a few people who pass the Jinshi exam.

In the Qi Mansion in Dingjing, the capital city of Southern Chu, a young man dressed in indigo-like black brocade is taking a nap. The warm yellow sunlight shines on the young man's face, giving his flawless face a glimmer of light, like warm jade. .The beautiful willow-leaf eyebrows stretched out, the brows are full of delicacy, but only delicacy without any femininity.The willow-leaf eyebrows, which are obviously only for women, are especially suitable for the young man's face, with a suitable shade.

The yard is full of flowers and plants, fresh and elegant without being cumbersome.The furnishings in the room are also extremely simple, with only a few decorative vases, a round table and a set of blue and white porcelain tea sets on the table, a small table, surrounded by bookshelves and potted orchids placed on it.It seems to indicate that the owner loves simplicity and elegance and dislikes red tape.

If the girls in Dingjing would recognize him when they saw him, he was Qi Ze, the third son of Qi, the young Tanhua Lang who was riding a horse and parading through the streets at that time.His heroic posture of riding a horse makes the girl in the boudoir feel spring in her heart, and her face is full of red clouds.

Standing outside the gate of the courtyard was a man in black. The man was tall, tall and straight, with a handsome appearance, holding a sword in his hand, and an expression on his face that strangers should not approach.His eyes were staring coldly at the woman in front of him, making her feel a little weak.

The woman was white and chubby, but she was quite festive. Looking at the man in black in front of her, she had a flattering smile on her face and asked cautiously: "Excuse me, is the third young master awake? The old lady invited the third young master to have lunch at Quexi Hall. "

Que Xitang is the place where the men and women of the Qi Mansion eat their meals.There are a total of three younger brothers in the Qi Mansion, and they would go to Quexi Hall every time they had meals, and the whole family would have meals together.

It's just that everyone in the Qi family knows that there is no Qi Ze in this big family.It's not because of anything else, it's just that Qi Ze is the only one left in the third room of Qi Mansion, his father Qi Yun died on the battlefield when Qi Ze was a child, and his mother Tao Shi died of illness on the third day after his father's death.

Because of the death of Qi Yun, the pillar of Sanfang, Sanfang has been in decline in Qi Mansion ever since.Although it is not difficult to live in poverty, but the usual petty abuse and the low opinion of the snobbish servants of the Qi Mansion have already caused a pampered son to be bullied at a young age.

Especially the young masters of the eldest and second bedroom of the Qi Mansion were even more unscrupulous, they turned a blind eye to their bullying of Qi Ze.Qi Yuan, the old man, never cared about this matter.

The eldest master, Qi Wen, is the second-rank official minister of the Ministry of Rites. He is tactful and extremely capable. Now he is in charge of the entire Qi Mansion.There are only the main wife Li Shi and a few concubines in the backyard. As the eldest wife of the Qi Mansion, Li Shi is in charge of the entire Qi Mansion backyard, and tidies up Qi Wen's concubines obediently, and dare not make mistakes.On the face of fairness, he didn't make a big mistake, and he didn't take Yueyin too much from Qi Ze, but seeing the servants bullying Qi Ze sometimes didn't help either.

His son, Qi Chen, is very talented. He is a well-known talent in the capital, and he is the treasure of the old man Qi Yuan.

The master of the second room, Qi Cheng, is a doctor of the fifth-rank official department. Although he is not weak, he is far from Qi Wen. Otherwise, he would not have been a fifth-rank official for so many years.There are groups of wives and concubines in the house, and they will play and play in the concubine's room all day long, not doing business, which makes the main wife Zhao stunned for a while.Sometimes Qi Cheng slapped him when he took care of a few concubines.

His legitimate sons, Qi Zhe and Qi Cheng, are of the same virtue, they hang around the places of fireworks and moonlight all day long, and before they reach the crown, there are already several housemaids.Zhao Shi taught Qi Zhe a lesson, but Qi Zhe never took it to heart, and sometimes would talk back.

Zhao's face was washed with tears all day long, shouting how he got involved with the father and son.Sometimes I would go to Mrs. Li for advice, and Mrs. Li also taught me some tips because of being a sister-in-law.

It made the backyard of the second bedroom less noisy, and Qi Cheng would sometimes spend the night with Mrs. Zhao, but after all, he couldn't stop Qi Cheng from going to the concubine's room to continue having fun.

Mrs. Zhao has also looked away from her for so many years, instead of having hope in Qi Cheng, she took good care of Qi Zhe.Although his son Qi Zhe didn't live up to expectations, he was still a piece of flesh that fell from his body, and his heart ached after all.

Qi Yuan was helpless towards Qi Cheng, thinking that it was Qi Wen who was in charge.It's not necessary for Qi Cheng to make any contribution to the Qi family, as long as he lives in peace and not causing trouble for the Qi family, so he went with Qi Cheng.

Zhao's occasional complaints were also countered by Qi Yuan's prejudice of women's three obediences and four virtues and sharing worries for her husband. On the contrary, Zhao was blamed all over.

No one in the Qi Mansion expected that Qi Ze would stand out in this palace examination, with excellent results, ranking third.Even Qi Chen, whom the old man valued the most, only won the Jinshi, ranking more than a dozen.

In fact, Qi Chen's grades are really not bad.Fifty young Jinshi, thirty old Mingjing.This shows how difficult it is to pass the Jinshi examination.Qi Chen has already won the Jinshi award just after reaching the crown, and he is worthy of his status as a talented man in the capital.

It's just that Qi Ze's grades are so good, it's unexpected.Tanhua in high school at the age of 17, the youngest Tanhualang in the history of Southern Chu.Moreover, the champion and the second place are also the results of several palace examinations, and they are both in their 30s.

When Qi Yuan knew that Qi Ze was a high school student, he had mixed feelings in his heart.On the one hand, although the Qi family is a family member, it has been a long time since Tanhualang has been out. This time, Qi Ze's achievements have brought endless glory to the Qi family, and pushed the Qi family to the forefront. Many families have already visited and given congratulatory gifts.

On the other hand, the eldest grandson he has carefully cultivated has just passed the Jinshi examination, so he has hired many famous teachers and paid a lot of money for it. Who knows that Qi Ze, who has never looked down on him on weekdays, is actually a high school student.

When the gold list was released, after hearing Qi Ze's results, Qi Yuan asked the guy who went to see the results several times in disbelief, asking if he had read it wrong.They also sent other servants to check the results, but the result was the same.Qi Ze was indeed a high school prospect, which made Qi Yuan somewhat frustrated.

But Qi Ze has already shown his talent, several aristocratic families have asked about this little-known young master Qi, and the capital is full of news about Qi Ze's high school prospect.

It is necessary to please Qi Ze and make Qi Ze a real Qi family.Besides, Qi Ze was originally a child of the Qi family, and the Qi family needed Qi Ze's help in the future, and Qi Ze also needed the Qi family's help in his official career.

So Qi Yuan sent his personal nanny, Nanny Gui, to Qi Ze's Fusheng Pavilion, and invited Qi Ze to have a meal in Que Xi Tang.

The man in black had no expression on his face, but there was a trace of disdain and mockery in his eyes. How did he treat his master before? Now that his master is a high school candidate, he just walks over eagerly, without knowing how to be ashamed.Besides, the master was resting, and no one could disturb him, so he held his sword against Nanny Gui.

Qi Ze's hearing is excellent, and he woke up when Nanny Gui asked about the man in black.Qi Ze stood up, opened the door and walked out.

Although the Qi family didn't treat him well, his future official career does need the Qi family's help.Besides, it's not worth breaking the face with the Qi family just because of the bumps in life.

When Nanny Gui still wanted to ask the man in black in front of her, she saw Qi Ze walking out in an indigo brocade suit.The sun shining on a pair of indifferent and cold peach blossom eyes did not add any warmth.The dull indigo blue is set off very well by him, calm and calm, the breeze blows his clothes, like flowing clouds and flowing water.

His brows and eyes are full of delicacy, but when they see his cold and ruthless eyes, the feeling of delicacy is abruptly diluted, and people know that this is a man.

While Nanny Gui was in a daze, she heard the cool voice like gurgling water, which was very pleasant.

"Zhu Yu, don't stop this nanny. I haven't been to Quexitang for a long time, so I might as well go and have a look." Qi Ze remembered that when his father Qi Yun was still there, their three-bedroom family would go to Quexitang for dinner.

At that time, Qi Ze lived a very happy life, and his father was a very caring and considerate person.No matter how many things there are in the army, he will remember his son and his wife's eating habits.Every time, I would pick up a lot of their favorite dishes for Qi Ze and Tao Shi, and then eat my own.

Unfortunately, my father died.Qi Ze never went to Que Xitang to eat again, every time he ate alone in Fusheng Pavilion.

Going to Quexitang this time can be regarded as the beginning of his restoration of his previous status and revitalization of the third room!

When his father was alive, he was an extremely outstanding person, even Qi Wen had to be courteous.If it weren't for Qi Wen being Qi Yuan's eldest son, it is estimated that the Qi family would be taken over by his father.

After hearing this, Zhu Yu put down the sword in his hand.Nanny Gui hurriedly ran in front of Qi Ze, bent even lower, and her voice was more flattering than before.

"Third young master, the old master loves you very much. When you are invited to the Quexi Hall for dinner, the old master's behavior is more cordial than inviting the eldest young master."

The young master is Qi Chen, the eldest son of the big house, and he is the oldest among the three families.The youngest is Qi Ze, the third eldest.Qi Zhe is slightly younger than Qi Chen and is the second child.

I don't know if the Qi family did something wrong, or if it was fate.In Qi Ze's generation, the number of heirs is thin, except for the legitimate sons of each family, there are no other sons, not even a concubine, only a few younger concubine daughters.

Qi Yuan was a little anxious, he had three concubine sons anyway, and the other concubine sons and daughters were also sent out.Although the youngest son, Qi Yun, is dead, there are other sons, Qi Wenguan is the second-rank minister of the Ministry of Rites, and his status is second only to Emperor Zhaozheng and the chief assistant of the cabinet, so the Qi family can hold on.

What Nanny Gui said was quite flattering, if she loved her so much, why did she only think of her grandson now.To invite Qi Chen?Every time I went to Que Xi Tang for dinner, the second room and the eldest room would go there on their own initiative, and there was no need to invite them.It was really kind to invite Qi Ze.Qi Ze was invited to go there, and everyone else took the initiative to go as a normal matter.

At this time, he did not forget to say good things to Qi Yuan, but he is a loyal dog.

Qi Ze bent his lips and looked at Nanny Gui with a smile: "Oh, is that so? My grandfather invited me over, and he loves me very much. By the way, I went to see how my eldest brother and second brother are doing. They eat at Que Xi Tang every day. Under the care of my grandfather, I should have a good life."

Qi Ze bit the word "please" very hard. Although he was smiling, his eyes were still indifferent, as if he could see through a person's heart with a single glance.

Nanny Gui's face flushed instantly with embarrassment, and her smile was a little stiff.Everyone knew that Qi Yuan didn't take Qi Ze to heart at all, otherwise he wouldn't have let Qi Ze go to Que Xi Tang because of his high school talent.

Besides, what kind of word "please" does the real family use? It's because they treat Qi Ze as an outsider.

Qi Ze didn't intend to make things difficult for a nanny, so he said: "Since the nanny is here, it's not easy to embarrass the nanny. Let's lead the way!"

After hearing the words, Nanny Gui turned around and walked towards Que Xitang, and Zhu Yu followed Qi Ze to Que Xitang.

On the road, there are many unknown flowers and plants, rockery and flowing water, which is really interesting with small bridges and flowing water.Qi Ze looked at the familiar Qi Mansion, thinking in his heart that the Qi family looked decent and quite arty.

In Qi Ze's impression, Que Xitang is a large hall with a huge round table in the middle.There are neatly arranged chairs on both sides of the hall, and there are couplets and plaques at the front, which looks very strict and solemn, well-regulated and unusually grand.

In the past, the population of the Qi Mansion was prosperous, and Que Xitang could still sit there.Now that the number of heirs is thin, it is estimated that more than half of Que Xitang will not be occupied.

After arriving at Quexi Hall, most of the seats were empty, except for the servants who were serving, the huge hall was completely empty, and there was a sense of desolation and decadence for no reason.

Qi Yuan, the old man of the Qi family, sat on the main seat. Although he was old, he was physically strong, energetic, and radiant. On the surface, he didn't look as old as his actual age.

Qi Yuan raised his eyes to look at Qi Ze, only to realize that Qi Ze and Qi Yun were five points alike.Seeing the face somewhat similar to that of his youngest son, Qi Yuan's eyes darkened, and a complicated expression flashed across his face.

The rest of the Qi family looked at Qi Ze with complicated expressions, including envy, jealousy, disbelief... and nostalgia.

Among Qi Yuan's three sons-in-law, Qi Yun is the best-looking, and he is also the most handsome man in the capital.It seems that God is taking care of him, giving him an excellent skin, and also gave him a smart brain. Before he reached the championship, he was already a second-rank hussars general. People in the capital called him a young killer , making the enemy terrified.

The Southern Chu Dynasty was also liberal in the relationship between men and women. If there is someone they like, they can express their love in public.After Qi Yun reached the crown, countless women wrote love poems to him.Although men usually propose marriage on their own initiative, if there is a man they like, the woman's family can take the initiative to go to the man's home to ask if they intend to get married.

At that time, ten people came to Qi Mansion in one day, and nine of them came to inquire about Qi Yun's marriage. It is not an exaggeration to say that the threshold has been broken.

There are many beautiful women in the world, but in the end Qi Yun chose the gentle and beautiful Tao as his wife.Although Tao Shi is also very beautiful, there are many women who are more beautiful than Tao Shi.

Maybe God is really eccentric, and even gave Qi Yun a gentle and considerate character.Although he is a general, he is extremely careful, as long as it is about Dow, he remembers it very clearly.The happy love between Qi Yun and Tao Shi has been envied by many women in the capital.

In the normal Qi Mansion, Qi Yun is also humble, courteous and helpful.I have never been arrogant and complacent just because I am a general, and I am superior to others.

But God is fair after all, and gave Qi Yun everything that people envy, but let him die young and commit suicide in defeat.Dow also died of illness on the third day after his death, leaving only one son, Qi Ze.

Qi Ze is indeed five points similar to Qi Yun. In my impression, his father is white-clothed Shengxue, graceful and elegant. He is really a gentle and handsome man, especially those identical pair of peach blossom eyes.

It's just that Qi Ze's demeanor was too indifferent and quiet, and his brows were a little more delicate.Although they look alike, they don't feel quite alike.

Qi Yuan looked at Qi Ze for a while, and then he seemed to come back to his senses. "Shao Yi is here, come, sit down."

Shaoyi is Qi Ze's character.In Southern Chu, men can only get characters after reaching the crown.But on the day of Qi Ze's birth, Qi Yun chose Qi Ze's character as Shaoyi, and said that he would write the character for Qi Ze and Guanshi himself.It's a pity that before Qi Ze reached Guan, he passed away.

On the contrary, this character remained, so even though Qi Ze hadn't arrived to reach the crown, everyone in the Qi family knew that Shao Yi was Qi Ze's character.

Qi Ze found a seat closest to him and sat down.

Qi Yuan saw Qi Ze sitting down, although he was a little far away from everyone, but Qi Ze's ability to sit down already showed that the relationship had eased.If Qi Ze had to be seated closer, it would not look good on the contrary, it would feel like he was flattering him, and the atmosphere would be a bit awkward no matter what.

Now that the relationship has eased, Qi Ze still needs the help of the Qi family for the rest of the journey, and it will be much better in the future, so there is no rush.

"Yinzhi, Ziyang, you also need to learn a lot from Shaoyi. We are all brothers of our own family, so don't be so unfamiliar with each other. If you are kind in the future, don't make any more fools." Qi Yuan looked at Qi Chen Said to Qi Zhe.

Citing is Qi Chen's character, Zi Yang is Qi Zhe's character, both of them have reached the top.

After Qi Chen heard Qi Yuan's words, his expression became uneasy.Qi Ze hadn't shown his abilities at all before, and Qi Chen thought his ranking was already high enough.Unexpectedly, Qi Ze was taller than him, and still ranked third.

This made it difficult for Qi Chen, who had always been the pride of the Qi family, to accept it for a while, and it would be false to say that he was jealous.

But Qi Chen still smiled gently and said, "Yes, grandfather. Remember it." After speaking, he smiled at Qi Ze again.

After Qi Yuan saw it, he was very satisfied, and looked at Qi Zhe again.

Both Qi Chen and Qi Ze passed the palace examination this time, but Qi Zhe failed.Originally thinking that Qi Ze would not be in the list, Qi Zhe didn't take the palace exam to heart.Anyway, it would be very difficult for him to pass the Jinshi exam with his strength, and he was not in a hurry with Qi Ze supporting him.

Who would have thought that this time Qi Ze won the list, and the entire Qi Mansion also lost Qi Zhe's list.Qi Yuan and Qi Cheng didn't expect Qi Zhe to be in the list, but Qi Ze was in the list, and Qi Zhe was not in the list, so they would feel a little bit of resentment and resentment in their hearts.

Although Qi Cheng is not doing business all day long, he attaches great importance to Qi Zhe's imperial examination.I also understand in my heart that if you want to become an official, you can only pass the imperial examination. The importance of the imperial examination to officials is self-evident.

So in the past few months, Qi Zhe has seen all the cold eyes of Qi Yuan and Qi Cheng, and his usual study arrangement is more compact, and the supervision is stricter.Prepare to let Qi Zhe take part in the next palace test.

Qi Zhe thought of the misery that Qi Ze had brought to him in the past few months, and he was very angry in his heart, staring at Qi Ze all the time.All the reasons for studying hard after failing the ranking this time were all attributed to Qi Ze.

Seeing Qi Yuan looking at him, he frowned and said unwillingly, "Yes, grandfather."

Both Qi Chen and Qi Zhe bowed their heads and remained silent. The old man knew about their bullying Qi Ze, but telling them not to make trouble anymore seemed to be protecting Qi Ze.

This scientific examination was fine for Qi Zhe, but it was a big blow for Qi Chen.Qi Wen is the minister of the Ministry of Rites, and the Ministry of Rites is the organizer and supervisor of the imperial examinations.

For Qi Chen's palace examination, Qi Wen also shyly asked the chief examiner about the direction of the questions in private.In Southern Chu, missing a question in the imperial examination was a big deal, and if one was found out and would be thrown into prison, the black hat could not be kept.

But look at the general character of the examiner, figure out the examiner's mind when doing the questions, and answer in the direction that the examiner likes to get more points.The examiner also saw that Qi Wen was the Minister of Rites, so he mentioned Qi Wen a little bit.

Qi Wen is showing his old face for Qi Chen's palace exam this time.Unexpectedly, Qi Ze did better in the exam than Qi Chen, this was a resounding slap to Qi Wen.

Although Qi Chen's grades were not bad, to Qi Wen it was a slap in the face.The son of Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites did not do well in the exams like Qi Ze, and he would feel ashamed in the Ministry of Rites in the future.

　I am afraid that some readers will not understand, so Momo makes a statement here.

　　The heroine's point of view uses the self-proclaimed "she"

　　From the perspective of other people who don't know the identity of the heroine, they all use "he"

　　It will be used like this from Chapter 2 onwards

　　For the little cuties who like this book, Momo is begging to collect and leave a message here. Momo will also update it every day. I hope you like it o(≧v≦)o~~
