Harem: Biography of Concubine Qin

Chapter 178 Imperial Examination
Seeing Chen Wenxin's generosity, Nalan Rongruo stepped forward and cupped his hands and said, "My sister is naughty and disturbed my mother, thank you for not being surprised."

"Miss Nalan has the demeanor of an adult, and you can tell that she is also a talented woman at a glance."

A woman who reads a lot will have an unusual temperament, which is probably the so-called poetic and bookish temperament.

Nalan's family is also a noble and scholarly family, which is somewhat similar to Chen's family in this respect.

As for Guo Luo, Luo Mingyuan and Yibi, it seemed that they lacked such a restrained temperament.

Nalan Yulu shyly said: "Your Majesty has praised me absurdly, and my minister's daughter is far from my elder brother."

She glanced at Chen Wenyi from the corner of her eye, seeing that there was no expression of appreciation on his face, she was slightly disappointed.

Chen Wenyi suddenly said: "It's too hot outside, Brother Nian Niantong Xiang and the others go to Ziyu Pavilion, I'll take Miss Guo Luoluo away first."

If Nalan Rong came in after handing over the invitation, it would not be too much to bring his younger sister Nalan Yulu.

What's more, Nalan Yulu went to pay a visit to Mrs. Zheng when she entered the garden, and she was a legitimate guest.

This Guo Luo and Luo Mingyuan sneaked in, and even climbed the wall in the garden to disturb Chen Wenxin, he was really an uninvited guest.

Guo Luo Luo Mingyuan knew she was in the wrong, and it was useless to think that she would stay here, let Chen Wenyi take her away and they would still have a chance to talk.

She happily greeted Chen Wenxin, "My daughter-in-law will retire first."

No, what if Chen Wenyi got entangled by this little vixen on the way to drive her out?
Nalan Yulu quickly winked at Nalan Rongruo, but the latter opened his mouth somewhat reluctantly.

"Lan Xiang, come back soon, Qingyuan and I want to discuss more with you."

Chen Wenyi nodded and looked at Guo Luo Luo Mingyuan.

The latter walked forward with quick steps, and Chen Wenyi followed behind, looking like an eagle chasing a chicken.

Chen Wenxin couldn't help laughing, "Second Miss Guo Luoluo is really funny."

Everyone disagrees.

Guo Luo Luo Mingyuan trespassed into the Yuci Garden without permission, and even did such outrageous things as climbing the wall, she was lucky not to be punished by her.

She even praised Guo Luo Luo Mingyuan as interesting?

Nalan Yulu thought, Yi Concubine and Qin Concubine of Guo Luoluo's family had always been at odds, and from this point alone, she had a much better chance of winning than Guo Luoluo Mingyuan.

What's more, her father is a high-ranking member of the dynasty, and it is more than enough to match the Chen family in the family.

Everyone went back to the Ziyu Pavilion, this time with Nalan Yulu there, they only talked about poetry, calligraphy and painting.

Xiang Ming was very surprised, "I often heard that Mrs. Chen's family is handed down from generation to generation, but I didn't expect that my mother is proficient in arithmetic and knows something about poetry."

Chen Wen said modestly: "If you talk about poetry, calligraphy and painting, it's not that I am bragging, but my father is a capable person. I am ashamed to say that I am the least educated in my family."

The Chen family was a family of officials and eunuchs in the early Ming Dynasty. In the generation of Chen Wenxin's grandfather, he became a guard at the border, which can be regarded as declining.

Although the family fortune has declined, the study has not stopped.

She continued: "I often hear that Mr. Nalan is famous, and I have heard about some of them. It is really a masterpiece."

Nalan Rongruo panicked and said: "I don't know when I dirty the ears of my humble minister with my clumsy work."

"The hard work is the most pity for the sky and the moon. Every night is like a ring, and every night is like a ring. If the moon is finally bright and clean, I don't care about the ice and snow."

His poems were read out of her mouth, as if they were given life and moving.

"It's easy to end without a dusty relationship, and the swallow is still there, softly stepping on the curtain hook and saying. After singing, the sorrow of the autumn grave has not stopped, and the spring cluster recognizes the amphibious butterfly."

Nalan Rongruo was taken aback for a moment, he didn't expect that Chen Wenxin could remember his whole poem verbatim.

"I am lucky to have this poem recited by your mother."

He was also very satisfied with his poem, but he didn't expect Chen Wenxin to like it too, and he could recite it.

This is his poem mourning his wife who died young.

Nalan Yulu laughed beside him and said, "Brother spends all his time on reciting poems and composing Fu, unlike Mr. Xiang, who spends all his time on family and state affairs."

Chen Wenxin's recitation is already a great appreciation for Nalan Rongruo.

Her words cleverly complimented Xiang Ming, which made the atmosphere in the venue happy.

This Nalan Yulu is not simple, it is very thoughtful.

Nalan Rongruo also said: "Brother Xiang was the number one scholar in high school, Rongruo was just a kid."

"Why did Rong Ruo say that? Now that you have the reputation of being a scholar, why don't you worry about not being a Jinshi if you end this year?"

Nalan Rongruo is now just relying on his father's power, holding the vain title of a second-class guard.

If you can pass the imperial examination, you will not worry about not getting a higher reward.

Therefore, Xiang Ming strongly advocated that he should take the imperial examination.

"You also know that people who come from the imperial examinations are more noble. It's not that you are not allowed to write these poems, it's just that you are so talented, if you don't serve the court, what will you do with it?"

Xiang Ming has this temper, saying one thing and another.

He believes that the greatest meaning of life is to serve the court and make contributions.

He turned to Chen Wenxin again and said: "I see, Lan Xiang can also go to the test for fame. He is still young, and he has a literary and martial arts strategy. It is always good to have an extra noble background."

A person like Xiang Ming is very sincere to his friends.

Because he was a few years older than both Chen Wenyi and Nalan Rongruo, he treated himself like an elder brother and worried about them.

Xiang Ming is a talent, Nalan Rongruo is from a high family background, and Chen Wenyi has a good reputation among the courtiers.

The three of them together complement each other perfectly.

Chen Wenxin said with a smile: "Master Lao is concerned, and the second brother really has this intention."

It is really rare for an official like Chen Wenyi who is from the third rank to take the imperial examination.

He is too young, and what he relied on before was his family background and military merits. Now if he can be a Jinshi, his position will be more stable.

Nalan Rongruo said: "In that case, this year's Qiu Wei, Lan Xiang and I will end together."

Xiang Ming clapped his palms and said with a smile: "What are you going to do together? You two can perform one civil and one martial exercise, you can't do the same thing."

Wuju was founded in the Tang Dynasty, and it became a regular exercise in the Song Dynasty, that is, it is held every three years just like Wenju.

In the Qing Dynasty, Wen Ju was more important than Wu Ju, and more people were recruited for Wen Ju than Wu Ju.

Nalan Rongruo's literary talents are outstanding, but his martial arts skills are mediocre, so he naturally wants to take the Wenju examination.

Chen Wenyi has both civil and military skills, but he is a general, so naturally he has to take the martial arts exam.

Nalan Rongruo had a look on his face, the expression that if he wants to go, I'll just drop by, and if he doesn't, I'll forget it.

Sure enough, he was just like what was recorded in history books, he was a melancholy and sensitive poet who didn't care about official position and power.

Chen Wenyi came back at this time, and heard them chatting about the imperial examination right away.

He just took Guo Luo Luo Mingyuan away, but she has been walking around for three steps, one stop, two steps and then turning around, pestering Chen Wenyi to talk.

"Second Brother Chen, do you know that Nalan Yulu?"

Chen Wenyi didn't even raise his head, he went on his own.

"If she talks to you, you have to be careful, don't be fooled by her."

Chen Wenyi still ignored her.

"Do you know, that Nalan Yulu is bad, just now he scolded me for being shameless..."

This time she turned her head again and accidentally bumped into Chen Wenyi.

Chen Wenyi frowned, and said in a stern voice: "Why don't you think about it, why did she scold you like this? If you hadn't been magnanimous for what you did today, you should have been kicked out a long time ago."

Even a person like him who spends his days in the military camp has heard rumors outside.

Guo Luo Luo Mingyuan is in it, does he really not care about other people's pointing and pointing?

He knew that she liked him, but he told her very early on that he had no intentions of her.

Why is she still pestering him?
It doesn't matter how much she entangles her on weekdays, but tossing in front of Chen Wenxin today is really a situation he doesn't want to see.

Guo Luo Luo Mingyuan was very aggrieved, unexpectedly, Chen Wenyi only saw Nalan Yulu once, so he would speak for her.

Tears flowed down her face unknowingly, "I don't mind what other people say, but you know very well that I am..."

"shut up."

Chen Wenyi stopped her. If she spoke out, it would only make things more embarrassing.

"Miss Guo Luoluo's kindness, I accept it wholeheartedly. No matter how persistent you are, I will not change my original thoughts."

Wasn't his initial thought not to marry a woman who is not the most beautiful woman in the world?
Guo Luo Luo Mingyuan boldly said: "If you reject me because of this, you're thinking about it. How do you think it's easy to find such a stunning lady in this world..."

"If you can't find me, you won't marry for life, don't worry about it."

Chen Wenyi gave her a cold look, "Please don't come to Nianxin Garden again, she has a medical condition and cannot stand being frightened like this by you."

Guo Luo Luo Mingyuan naturally knew who the "she" he was talking about was.

"You know that you care about your sister. Compared with her, I'm worthless?"

She was so angry that she stomped her feet fiercely. In the past, she had been waiting for Chen Wenyi in the streets outside the Chen family's mansion, but she had never seen him talking to her so unfeelingly like today.

He also rejected her in the past, but not as cold and severe as today.

Could it be for Nalan Yulu?
No, she had been paying attention to Chen Wenyi's expression just now, he had never looked at Nalan Yulu highly.

Instead, his gaze remained on that woman who was so beautiful that it was beyond human...

She remembered Chen Wenyi's words, "If you can't find me, you will never marry, don't worry about it."

After all, he wanted to find a woman with the same beauty as Chen Wenxin.

still is……

What he wanted was Chen Wenxin?

Guo Luo Luo Mingyuan couldn't help being taken aback by her own thoughts, she was thinking wildly, the two of them are brothers and sisters, and they were born like twins.

I once heard people say that the two children of twins not only have telepathy, but also rely heavily on each other.

Maybe Chen Wenyi and Qinpin brothers and sisters are like this?

That's why Chen Wenyi treated Concubine Qin so well.

It seems that if she wants to please Chen Wenyi, she has to establish a good relationship with Concubine Qin.
