Idle courtiers

Chapter 328 Bad mood and good mood ([-])

As if overnight, the unnamed tree in the yard was full of shade and graceful like a canopy.

The sun is shining, and the green shadows are swaying.

Early in the morning, Zhou Nan felt overwhelmed with regret and heat, and could no longer wear the jacket on his body.

After thinking about it, the time has come to the beginning of April, and summer is here.He is in good health, especially since he gained six or seven catties after entering the capital, and he is very hot.

I had to change into jackets, holding a folding fan, but I was also very personable, looking at Xun Fangyu's eyes with tenderness, and praised: "Master is really handsome!"

In any era, no matter whether the husband and wife are strong and the woman is weak, or whether the woman is strong and the man is weak, there is always one person who worships the other sincerely, and the family can be harmonious.If everyone has a strong personality and refuses to let others, life will be a mess.

Being looked at with loving eyes by his beloved, Zhou Nan felt sweet in his heart, and asked with a smile: "Fang Yu, isn't my master handsome? Tell me, I am more beautiful than Chengbei Xu Gong, and where is the beauty?"

Xun Fangyu's belly has grown, and she can already see that she is pregnant.Sunshine and tree shadows fell on her stomach, speckled: "Master, you are handsome, of course, but it is a pity that your chin used to look a little sharp, and your face was not very good. In the past two months, you have gained weight, and you have grown into a Chinese-character face. The face is big. Ear, very majestic."

Hearing what she said, Zhou Nan touched the circle of fat growing under his chin, and was annoyed: "Madam, if you want to say that I am fat, just say it, why bother to bury it like this."

Xun Fangyu covered her mouth with a low smile: "The master is an official, and he should have the dignity of an official. It's not good to be too thin, and the common people are disrespectful. I'm a sincere compliment, how dare I let you down?"

Seeing that her expression did not seem to be fake, Zhou Nan was stunned: "You really think I look good, Master."

"That's natural."

"Well, I feel very relieved." Zhou Nan touched his chin again, feeling satisfied.

In modern society, his appearance can be rated as [-]%, which is basically up to the standard, and belongs to the kind that can be easily drowned out when thrown into the crowd.The only thing that makes him proud is that he has an oval face, which looks like an Internet celebrity face.

However, this kind of appearance was not necessarily good in ancient times.The awl face and red face in ancient times were a typical face of treacherous ministers. The aesthetics of this era is that kind of face with Chinese characters, preferably square and square like mahjong tiles.

This is also very helpless.

If I want to be a high-ranking official in the future, appearance is very important when selecting officials.If you look like Lu Han or Zhang Yixing, I'm afraid you will be bad food.

"It seems that the next goal of my master's life is to eat, sleep and grow up. I must grow myself into a straight man of steel, Yao Ming."

Xun Fangyu asked curiously, "Master, who is Yao Ming?"

Zhou Nan: "He is a handsome man I know." Not to mention, if Dayao really came to ancient times, if he was not that tall, he would really be a handsome guy in the eyes of the ancients.

After saying this, he couldn't help laughing himself.

Xun Fangyu said: "The master suddenly mentioned the matter of appearance today, but are you worried about being selected as a Jinshi in the future?"

She was born in a prominent family in Huai'an. Although she was the daughter of a concubine, she met not only high-ranking officials and dignitaries, but also scholars with fame and fame, and she knew a little about official affairs.

Once a scholar is selected as a Jinshi, no matter whether he is appointed to the Imperial Academy or directly sent to work, his appearance is also within the scope of the assessment.If you are born too ugly, described as wretched, unable to control the scene, and lose the dignity of the government, Zhengyin officials will not be able to do it.

Hearing what she said, Zhou Nan suddenly remembered that it was already April, and there were only four months and a hundred days left before the autumn of August, and his heart tightened suddenly.With a wry smile: "Ma'am, you and I are very happy today. Isn't it ruining the atmosphere by saying this? I even passed the provincial examination this year, and I can't even talk about the selection of officials."

"Auspicious people have their own auspiciousness. The master has studied hard these days, and he should be able to pass." Xun Fangyu comforted him.

At this moment, Huang Dou came over with a post and said, "My lord, this is an invitation from Miyun student Shen Ning."

Xun Fangyu asked curiously: "Master, is Shen Ning the young scholar who visited the door a few days ago?"

"Exactly." Zhou Nan took a look at the post and replied, "Shen Ning said on the invitation that tomorrow is his father's [-]th birthday, so please invite me to come to the house."

Xun Fang said: "My lord, you have to go to the Department of General Administration to be on duty every day. It seems that you are very busy recently, and you study until late at night every day. Miyun is so far away, how can you delay?"

"Otherwise, brother Shen is also a big family in Miyun. The big families in the counties near the capital don't have property in the capital. The Shen family also owns a yard in the inner city. The whole family lives there, not far from our house. But However, it is inconvenient for me to go to the old man of the Shen family's birthday."

Xun Fangyu was amazed: "Master, after all, we are both students of the same county, and we will have to deal with them for the rest of our lives. Wouldn't it be impolite not to go?"

Zhou Nan shook her head angrily: "This Shen Ning can really cause trouble for others, but he has no principles, and he will kill me in anger!"

It turned out that last time in Shuntian Mansion, Zhou Nan and Xu Yang had an extra test in the big betting match, and the person who agreed to lose would withdraw from the examination room, but Mr. Zhou won.

It was said that after Xu Yangda returned home, he was severely punished by the elders in his family and even obeyed the family law.

After coming down, Zhou Nan asked someone to copy Xu Yangda's paper because of his curiosity.When he saw it, he blushed with embarrassment.I have to admit that this guy is really talented, and those few articles are really good.Even if such a test paper is put in the examination room of the township examination, it is still a safe way to get one's fame, and the top three can also be won.

Zhou Nan's article is much worse.

Not afraid of not knowing the goods, but afraid of comparing goods.

Zhou Nan really felt ashamed for getting that title.

Because of this bet, Xu Yangda was not allowed to enter the examination room for life, so the Xu family naturally didn't dare.So, I asked Zhou Nan to come here.

Zhou Nan was angry that Xu Yangda was hateful, so he naturally ignored it.

The Xu family found Shen Ning, who had a good personal relationship with Zhou Nan.

Shen Ning was young and had soft ears, so he was coaxed by someone with a few nice words, and he spoke on his behalf.

A gentleman repays his grievances directly, but Zhou Nan just refuses.Besides, your Xu family only wants me to get back together with Mr. Xu just by asking someone to say a few good words. How can there be such a cheap thing in the world?
It's also really dishonest.

Who would have thought that the Xu family would be completely angry after being repeatedly rejected by Zhou Nan.

They used to be a wealthy family in Suizhou, and now they are a prominent family in Changping.There are three Jinshi in the family, one is the magistrate of Qipin county and one is the chief envoy of Fujian.You Zhou Nan, a small pedestrian from a miscellaneous background, is so shameless, isn't this a slap in the face of my Xu family?
A scholar can be killed, but not humiliated.

So, out of embarrassment and anger, the Xu family beat Xu Yangda again with family law.

At the same time, a rumor about Zhou Nan began to spread on a small scale in Miyun and Changping counties.It is said that the reason why Zhou Nan won the first place in the additional test was because he had passed the door of Duan Tixue.Otherwise, with Zhou Nan's stereotyped essays, let alone be number one, I'm afraid they won't be on both lists.

The Xu family also moved quickly, printing Zhou Nan's paper and handing it out to everyone, which made Zhou Nan very embarrassed.

In the past few days, Lao Zhou had to keep an eye on the incident in the Department of General Administration, get first-hand information, and review his homework.

But the mood was completely spoiled by the Xu family's actions.
