A big gamble: the dandy princess

Chapter 540: Unintentional Planting Willows (2)
"So I'm 19 years old, haven't I married a wife?" Yun Qianyue thought that in this era, most 19-year-old men are married.

"No, there is a girl in the west courtyard who likes him, but he doesn't have that kind of mind. He just concentrates on studying and wants to get out. Three years ago, there was a scientific examination in Tiansheng capital, but we were worried about him and stopped him. This year, the emperor of Tiansheng He passed away, and it is said that the regent is in power, so I don’t know if we can continue the scientific examination.” The old woman said: “In the past three years, he has been studying harder, and his father and I also regret that we stopped him back then. We should let him go, but we have only one seedling in our family, so we really can't bear it, Tiansheng Capital is so far away, what happens on the road, why don't you kill me and his father?"

"There is still no news about this year's scientific examination. The three-year scientific examination is an ancient system. Although the former emperor died and the regent took power, it should not be abolished, and it will continue. However, there are many things in Tiansheng Capital, and it may It's just a delay." Yun Qianyue said.

"If the scientific examination is held, we may not be able to stop him." The old woman was a little happy and a little worried when she heard the words.

"It's a good thing for a man to have ambition!" Yun Qianyue said with a smile.

"That's right, although my old lady can't read or write, she also understands the truth, she's just too worried." The old woman said kindly.

"Auntie, I don't understand a little bit. You said that you have lived here for generations, that is, people from southern Xinjiang. Why does your son look far away? Why don't you go to the capital of southern Xinjiang to apply for an official position?" Yun Qianyue asked suspiciously .

"Hey, if he goes to the capital city of Southern Xinjiang, the old man and I will not stop him. Unfortunately, he admires Prince Jing, and he will not go unless he is a saint. Southern Xinjiang is a small country and a small position. He doesn't like it. If he wants to go, he will go to heaven." If you seek a great job in a great holy country, like Jing Shizi, who is famous all over the world and respected by the people, that is a great talent in learning and admirable." The old woman smiled helplessly, "My son can make Jing Shizi say three words. Shizi keeps talking, as long as someone talks about Jing Shizi, he will forget about chopping firewood."

Yun Qianyue was taken aback, "Is that so?"

"That's right!" The old woman said with a chuckle, "Jing Shizi's talent is overwhelming, how many people in this world can match it? My son doesn't know the heights of heaven and earth, and wants to learn from Jing Shizi. Hey..."

Yun Qianyue twitched the corners of her mouth, and said with a smile: "Rongjing is talented, but there is nothing to redeem."

The old woman looked at Yun Qianyue, "Miss, do you know Jing Shizi?"

Yun Qianyue nodded, "I met once."

"Look at my old lady who is confused. The girl is from Tiansheng Capital, and she comes from a great family. It is not unusual to meet Jing Shizi. My son..." When the old woman said this, she suddenly looked outside, stood up, "My old man and his son are back! It's strange, didn't they go to Silvermoon City to sell firewood today? It stands to reason that they can only come back at night." After saying that, she hurried out of the room, "Girl, sit down first, I will go out and give you a gift." They open."

Yun Qianyue nodded, and heard footsteps coming towards the yard, and dogs barking. She looked at the sky, and it was noon.It is estimated that he came back from chopping firewood.The old woman opened the courtyard door, and an old man and a young man were standing outside the door, each carrying a bundle of firewood. Both of them were wearing cotton jackets, followed by a big wolf dog.The big wolfhound was barking at Texue who was grazing at the door.

The old man is naturally about the same age as the old woman. The young man is handsome, but his skin is a bit dark. He looks about eighteen or nineteen years old, with strong bones, neither fat nor thin. Carrying firewood, but probably because of reading, he has a literati temperament, clear eyes, and straight brows, which fits the old woman's description of loving reading and not being afraid of hardship.

"Is someone coming to the house?" The old man looked at the old woman, and he seemed relieved to see that she was intact, so he put down the firewood and asked.

"Mother, who is it here?" The young man also put down the firewood and asked.

"It's a girl from the Tiansheng capital who went to visit relatives in the capital of southern Xinjiang. I'm tired on the road, rest my feet, and leave after dinner." The old woman looked at the father and son and asked, "Why did you come back so early? ? Why didn’t you go to Silvermoon City to sell firewood today?”

"Shanhua from the west courtyard saw someone coming from your yard, and ran to the back mountain to tell us. We didn't trust you, so we didn't go to sell firewood. Come back and have a look." The old man stopped talking and asked, "Have you stewed chicken?"

"That girl is from a rich family. She gave me an ingot of silver taels. Our family has nothing to eat, so we stewed a fat chicken." The old woman showed the old man the silver taels, "Look, this ingot of silver taels Enough for you to chop firewood for a year."

"It's about taking a break and having a meal. Why do you, old lady, ask for so much money?" the old man asked dissatisfied.

"I said no, that girl insisted on giving it. Didn't I think that if Zhao'er had silver taels on the road this year, wouldn't she suffer? So I stayed," said the old woman.

"Mother, do you agree with me going to the capital?" Shen Zhao looked at the old woman in surprise.

The old woman gave him an angry look, "You always talk about going to the capital in your dreams, and if your father and I don't let you go, you must hate us forever?" After saying that, she put away the money and said to the man: "Mother, give it to you!" Keep it, the girl said that the three-year scientific examination should also be held this year, although the regent is in power, he will not abolish this system, it will probably be postponed."

"That's great!" Shen Zhao laughed happily, "My father and I picked some snow mushrooms and wanted to save them for the Chinese New Year, so let's make them for this girl now!"

"Okay!" The old woman nodded with a smile.

Shen Zhao bent over and untied the bag tied with dry firewood, and handed it to the old woman.

"Miss Shen is a lucky person. The snow mushrooms are very good. They only grow after the first snowfall, and only when the snow falls just right, and it's not easy to see. Now I'm going to wash and make them. dishes." The old woman happily walked towards the kitchen as she spoke, and at the door of the kitchen, she did not forget to tell Shen Zhao, "Go in and meet that girl, she is also a literate person, and she met Jing Shizi once." Well, aren't you going to take a scientific examination? Ask that girl if you don't understand."

Shen Zhao's eyes lit up when he heard the words, he responded and walked into the house.

The old man also seemed to want to see Yun Qianyue, and followed Shen Zhao.

Yun Qianyue kept looking outside, thinking that this kind of people are simple and not greedy for cheap, Shen Zhao can endure hardships and work hard, and although the annotations in the book are still a bit immature, they are more insightful than Yunli back then, If such a person has been cultivated and polished, he will definitely not be a thing in the pool in the future. She stretched out her hand and rubbed her forehead, and murmured in a low voice: "Rongjing, if I recruit a talent for you, you shouldn't think that I have committed a crime." Peach blossoms? After all, people are for you!"

"This girl has seen Jing Shizi?" Shen Zhao walked into the room quickly, and asked the first sentence, and when he finished speaking, he saw Yun Qianyue looking up at him, his face flushed, and he seemed to feel abrupt, sorry lowered his head.

"You boy! Did you ask questions like this?" The old man followed behind, knocked on Shen Zhao's head, and scolded: "She is a girl, or from Tiansheng Capital, have you read your book for nothing? No manners?"

Shen Zhao was even more embarrassed, but still raised his head and looked at Yun Qianyue curiously.

Yun Qianyue stood up and said with a smile to the old man: "It's okay, sir." And said to Shen Zhao: "Well, I have seen Rongjing."

Shen Zhaoyi was happy, "Is Jing Shizi the same as the rumors?" He seemed too excited to care about it. He stepped forward and stared at Yun Qianyue and asked excitedly, "That's what the poem said, 'The color of Jinyi Xuehuayu, Looking back and smiling, the world is falling.'?"

Yun Qianyue looked at Shen Zhao's excited eyebrows, thinking that the old woman was not exaggerating, her son had already been poisoned by Rongjing.She smiled and nodded, "It's okay! He is also a human being, he eats and sleeps the same way, but he is better educated and looks better, and the rest is the same as a normal person."

Shen Zhao was very excited when he heard the words, "Girl, have you talked to Jing Shizi?"

"Well, I said it!" Yun Qianyue thought that she had said more than that, and he was probably the person who talked to her the most.

Shen Zhao stared at Yun Qianyue with bright eyes, "It's great, what have you and Jing Shizi said, can you tell me? I admire Jing Shizi and want to know..."

Before he finished speaking, he was beaten again by the old man, "You brat! When you mention Jing Shizi, you are like a chicken blood." After finishing speaking, he said to Yun Qianyue: "Girl, don't mind, My son has admired and admired Jing Shizi since he was a child. Everything about him seems to be poisoned."

Yun Qianyue thought that if there were stars chasing in ancient times, then she met one here.She looked at Shen Zhao's excited eyes with some amusement, thinking that if she said she was Yun Qianyue, what expression would he have?However, everyone in the world admires Rongjing, pushing him to a height that even emperors are jealous of. It is not unusual for young people to worship him like this, but in order not to cause trouble, it is best not to talk too much, so she said: "He I just said, girl, please make way."

Shen Zhao opened his eyes wide.

Yun Qianyue looked at him with very sincere eyes, and said with certainty: "It is so!"

Shen Zhao was immediately discouraged, "It turns out that the girl met Jing Shizi on the street!"

"Yeah!" Yun Qianyue nodded with a smile.

"Girl didn't take the opportunity to say a few words with Jing Shizi?" Shen Zhao asked unwillingly.

"There were too many people at that time, and I didn't have time, besides, I didn't have much to say to him." Yun Qianyue shook her head.

Shen Zhaosheng's hope was shattered again, and after a while, he raised his head, scratched his head, and smiled at Yun Qianyue, "Young girl, Jing Shizi is the number one genius in the world, if I can see him, tell him It’s an honor to say that.”

"Since uncle and aunt agree, you can go to Tiansheng!" Yun Qianyue smiled.

"I will definitely go!" Shen Zhao nodded, "I want to be an official in the same dynasty as Jing Shizi."

"Stinky boy, if those things you learn are really useful, you'll be fine in the officialdom. If you fail the exam, it's useless. Don't talk big. I'm an official in the same dynasty as Jing Shizi, and I don't care about you." The old man patted again. Shen Zhao turned around and walked out the door.

"I will definitely pass the exam!" Shen Zhao said with certainty.

Yun Qianyue looked at him with a smile, shook the book in her hand and asked, "How many times have you read these? You made all the annotations in the book?"

"I can memorize these books backwards, and I did the annotations." Shen Zhao nodded.

Yun Qianyue saw that he was not arrogant or rash when he said this, as if stating a fact, nodded and stopped talking.

Shen Zhao thought she would ask again, but seeing that she didn't ask anything, she just gave him the book, reached out to take it, and asked tentatively, "The girl seems to be a reader, since you read my note , what do you think of my opinion?"

Yun Qianyue smiled, "I'm just a woman's opinion, so don't ask. Take this book when you go to Tiansheng Capital! After seeing Rongjing, why don't you ask his opinion face to face? Isn't it better than my opinion? Will it work?"

Shen Zhao felt that it was reasonable, and happily put the books away, "I will definitely bring these books with me when I go to Tiansheng Capital." After putting away the books, he seemed to realize the difference between men and women, and looked at Yun Qianyue blushingly, and quickly out of the house.

Yun Qianyue feels that there are very few such pure people now, and it would be best if Rong Jing could use them.

Not long after, the old man and the old woman came in with ready-made chicken, snow mushrooms and two side dishes, and the pasta was pancakes made of coarse grains.As soon as the food was served, the room was full of fragrance.

The old woman smiled and said: "This snow mushroom is delicious, don't dislike it, girl, eat more."
