Nong Zhaohua

Chapter 120

"I... couldn't hold back for a while..."

With Pei Xuan's handsome and dusty face, he said words of rascals, Yan Zhaohua was still panting, and when he said this, his face turned red again, and he stretched out his hand to push him lightly, but he didn't know It was because of lack of strength, or because the arm was really sore and weak. When it reached Pei Xuan's body, it turned into a light swipe, and Pei Xuan grabbed him, holding it tightly in his palm, refusing to let go.

Yan Zhaohua wanted to withdraw his hand, but he was no match for him. He came and went, and Pei Xuan pulled him into his arms again. Yan Zhaohua couldn't struggle, so he didn't struggle at all. Anyway, he hugged him in his arms , It's rare to feel at ease, the longing that I haven't seen for more than a month instantly turns into tenderness, flowing in this quiet room.

"When you are filial piety, I will come to propose marriage."

Yan Zhaohua didn't speak, but nodded in the hollow of his shoulder after a while.Pei Xuan got the permission and was full of joy: "I will treat you well. I will only treat you well for the rest of my life."

Yan Zhaohua still didn't speak, but hearing Pei Xuan's words in his ears, he didn't know why, but felt his nose sore uncontrollably, and looked up at Pei Xuan, the two happened to meet their eyes, Yan Zhaohua He asked Pei Xuan:
"Why do you like me?"

Pei Xuan thought for a while, and it seemed that even he himself hadn't seriously thought about this issue. After thinking about it, he said: "I don't know. At first, I thought you were too scheming, but I found out later , although you have a lot of scheming, you have never harmed anyone, and when I look at you again, I feel that you are pleasing to the eye, and I have to ask the reason, I really don't know clearly."

Yan Zhaohua knew that Pei Xuan was telling the truth, and it was also the truth. It turned out that he thought she was a scheming girl at the beginning, no wonder she kept targeting her.Thinking of how Pei Xuan targeted him so much when the two first met, Yan Zhaohua suddenly felt a little dumbfounded.

After the two had finished their heartfelt conversations, they began to talk about serious topics. Yan Zhaohua asked Pei Xuan, "How is the matter on Nanmen Street going this time? I've also heard a lot of things recently, and it seems to be quite serious. "Not only the other aristocratic families, but even the Xie family had some turmoil, because apart from Yan Ruiqian and Xie Fan who were sent back, the second and third sons of the Xie family who went to Nanmen Street with them last time were also arrested. Although Mrs. Liu didn't tell Yan Zhaohua, when Yan Zhaohua occasionally went to Xie's house to pay his respects, he could vaguely see the grandmas from the second and third rooms coming over and crying.

Pei Xuan didn't hide from her, and said bluntly: "It's really serious. After arresting several children from aristocratic families, it turned the world upside down for a thousand aristocratic families."

Yan Zhaohua remembered what Yan Ruiqian said last time, that Gong Ruquan used the sixth prince to drag them to Nancheng Street, and they sent them back, but Yan Zhaohua wanted to know how Gong Ruquan was doing.

"What about the sixth prince and Gong Ruquan? Are they also arrested?"

Pei Xuan shook his head: "No, the sixth prince, I sent someone else to send him back. After all, he is a prince. If he gets involved in this kind of thing, the emperor will lose face. As for the others, they are all in prison. You said Is Gong Ruquan the younger brother of Aunt Gong? Two days ago, the Duke personally went to the prison to bail the kid out, and he made a note of it in front of the emperor for this. It's better too."

Yan Zhaohua didn't know about this matter, Xie Guozhang was so confused, she really didn't know what to say, Pei Xuan went to Xie's house to live a few times, and he didn't know about Aunt Gong, and felt that Xie Guozhang's actions were inappropriate, and said:
"It's not that I disrespect your grandfather, it's just that I think that if your grandfather continues like this, sooner or later he will be in trouble. At least one of the crimes of pampering his concubine and killing his wife will not escape. Your grandmother is a rare understanding person." , if your grandfather is willing to listen to her, maybe it will be better."

Hearing what Pei Xuan said, Yan Zhaohua was also upset, and said: "My grandfather loves Aunt Gong because Aunt Gong is pregnant now, and my grandfather is looking forward to her having a son. Gong Ruquan is a wimpy kid. Last time You captured him and sent him to my father. Originally, my father didn't intend to let him go, but it was my grandfather who insisted on putting pressure on my father, so my father let him go. After a while, he held back again. I really don't know what kind of troubles I will cause in the future."

Seeing her frowning slightly, Pei Xuan knew that she was really worried, so he asked, "How much do you know about the Gong family?"

"Huh?" Yan Zhaohua was puzzled, "How much do you know about what?"

"It's about Aunt Gong's natal family. How much do you know? I always feel that Aunt Gong shouldn't spoil an aunt's younger brother no matter how good the sibling relationship is." Pei Xuan expressed his doubts.

Yan Zhaohua recalled: "Gong Ruquan is Aunt Gong's youngest brother. Aunt Gong took him over from her hometown not long after she entered the mansion. He was probably only a few years old at that time, and there was no one in her hometown. I stayed in the Duke's Mansion for more than ten years. Do you think it's strange?"

Pei Xuan touched his chin and pondered for a moment: "It's nothing strange, but that kid really can't stay. If I knew he was such a disaster, I should have killed him outside that day."

The two were talking, when Pei Xuan suddenly looked out vigilantly, Yan Zhaohua was puzzled, Pei Xuan said: "Someone is coming."

Yan Zhaohua went to the window and looked: "It's Ranxiang. I don't know what's going on, or you should go first."

Pei Xuan was very reluctant to part with Yan Zhaohua, but he had no choice but to secretly look forward to the coming of next year. He bent down, kissed Yan Zhaohua on both cheeks, and whispered:

"I'll see you again in two days."

After finishing speaking, he quickly turned over from the window.Yan Zhaohua hurriedly looked at himself in front of the bronze mirror, and after making sure that there was nothing unusual, he walked slowly to the small study with a book of words from the bedside, but as soon as he reached the bead curtain, Ranxiang knocked on the door:
"Miss, the master is back and said he is waiting to see you in the study."

Yan Zhaohua let her in, and Ranxiang saw Yan Zhaohua who was reading with a story book, and looked at the breakfast on the table, without moving, and said to Yan Zhaohua again: "Oh, why didn't Miss eat?" Ah, even if you want to eat black-bone chicken soup, you have to eat breakfast first."

Yan Zhaohua compared the notebook in his hand to Ranxiang, and asked, "I forgot to read the book, what does my father want from me?"

While packing up her things, Ranxiang said: "The person who heard the rumor said that it seems that the master has acquired some treasure, and he wants to invite the young lady to watch it."

Yan Xiu is interested in brush and ink. These days, he always goes to the master of Hengshan Academy. The master of Hengshan Academy has a very good personal relationship with contemporary Confucianism. Let's watch and watch together.

After changing his clothes, Yan Zhaohua went to Yanxiu's study.

Yan Xiu took a pair of scrolls and walked out the door. He felt that the light in the corridor was not good, so he walked into the yard and looked at the authentic painting under the sun. Xiu walked into the yard and looked up the roof. He seemed to have sensed someone passing over the Hou's mansion before, but now he saw nothing unusual, and he was extremely puzzled.

As soon as Yan Zhaohua arrived at Yanxiu's academy, he saw his father looking at something in the air, walked over and asked:
"Father, what are you looking at?"

Yan Xiu stroked the mustache on the corner of his mouth: "There seems to be someone on the roof..."

Just this one sentence scared Yan Zhaohua out of his wits, and his heart could not wait to jump out of his throat. The person on the roof... must be talking about Pei Xuan, right?Usually he would come and go at night, but this time during the day, it was really dangerous, no, Yan Xiu noticed it.

Yan Xiu turned his head and saw his daughter's terrified face, and hurriedly comforted her: "Oh, it's all right, I may have been mistaken."

Yan Zhaohua nodded with a stiff smile, patted his chest, and said, "Oh, that's good, it scared me to death." Seeing the painting in Yan Xiu's hand, Yan Zhaohua hurriedly moved Yan Xiu away. Attention, asked: "By the way, what did Dad ask me to come and watch?"

When Yan Xiu heard this, he looked away, took out a scroll from behind, and said triumphantly, "I have been looking for the original work of Mr. Yan Cong from the previous dynasty for a long time, and finally found it for me. Come and have a look."

Speaking of calligraphy and painting, Yan Xiu looked another way. Yan Zhaohua heaved a sigh of relief, and leaned over to watch Mr. Yan Cong's authentic handwriting with Yan Xiu. In order to stop Yan Xiu from thinking about the problem just now, Yan Zhaohua He also racked his brains and pestered Yan Xiu to ask about these calligraphy and painting knowledge. Although Yan Xiu felt that his daughter was a little strange today, he was quite satisfied with her studious attitude.

The father and daughter discussed one painting after another, and finally even called Yan Ruiqian over, and the three of them stayed in the study for a long time.

Autumn Wai is always something to look forward to, and this year is no exception. After the candidates enter the examination room, the results will be released on the third day.

Both Yan Ruiqian and Yan Shuyan took part in the provincial examination this year, because they were born in the Marquis Mansion, and they had a seal of honor, so they could directly participate in the provincial examination. Ever since Yan Ruiqian became the son of the Changning Marquis Mansion, he seemed to have grown up overnight A lot of homework that he thought was dispensable was also caught by him, and he studied hard day and night, studying the exam questions over the years and so on. Little scholar, but this is enough for Yan Ruiqian to be happy. After all, Shuyan is still young, so he only participated in it and didn't get any fame.

On the third day after the examination, the imperial court released the ranking list, and the top three places are fixed. This year, the top three are all young young men. Tan Xiaozhi, the son of the mighty Marquis Mansion with a high reputation, rose to prominence in the name of Tanhua. Chu Feng and Luoyang student Fang Tianji got it. Both of them came from humble backgrounds. Among them, Chu Feng was a dark horse that broke out from the siege. He had little reputation among the students, but unexpectedly his "communication talent" was like a stroke of magic. , the whole article is incisive, and won unanimous praise from all the gentlemen of the Imperial Academy. It was circulated to the palace, and even the Holy Majesty was full of praise after reading it. In the palace examination, Chu Feng was directly selected as the number one scholar.Before the exam, Tan Xiaozhi, who was the most popular champion, only won the title of Tanhua.

Although it is a pity, Tan Xiaozhi still became the second son of a family to emerge in the imperial examination after Pei Xuan.
