"Sister Song was joking, I didn't mean it that way." Xu Ran quickly shook her head.

Song Qian smiled slightly and seemed not to take it seriously. The two said a few words and then separated. Then Xu Ran left. Song Qian asked the shopkeeper a few questions, went upstairs to a room and raised her hand. Just knock on the door.

However, before her hand fell on the door, the door opened with a bang.

Song Qian was stunned for a moment, then pushed the door open and took a quick look. She saw the dashing figure sitting at the table, it was Pang Qianru.

"Sister Qian, you came just in time." Pang Qianru saw Song Qian and smiled sincerely. She stood up and walked over to hold Song Qian's hand, but the latter calmly dodged her.

Pang Qianru smiled and did not continue to pursue. Instead, she turned around and sat down on her seat, crossing her legs. Her whole demeanor changed completely: "Tell me, why did you come to me? My father has already started working on my aunt's matter. You're ready, you don't have to worry about this, other than that..."

After hearing the inquiry, Song Qian did not answer, but asked: "Sister, really fall in love with Wen Zhizhen? Are you willing to turn against Sister Xu?"

"Wen Zhizhen is a master of both calligraphy and painting. Together with Mr. He, he is also known as a talented man. It is said that together with two other people, he is vaguely expected to sit on the throne of the four great talents. As a husband, my father should be satisfied with such a man. "

Pang Qianru said with a smile like a flower: "Besides, this Wen Zhizhen can be said to be extremely smart. He saw my family's and Xu's family's motorcade on the road, and after asking a few questions, he guessed that Xu Ran and I were among them. Then he showed his talent.”

She stretched out her fingers and danced lightly on the table.

"Xu Ran is young, and he is at the age when he admires talented people. He was impressed easily. Now his heart is worried about Wen Zhizhen. Such a person will not come back empty-handed when he takes part in the imperial examination. I will be in the right position no matter what I do. An official's wife is much better than a military commander's daughter."

Song Qian was surprised when she heard this: "Could it be that my sister is acting like she is now just to get rid of Xu Ran's thoughts?"

"Wen Zhizhen is not bad. Such a smart person should be able to communicate better, right?" Pang Qianru said, changing the subject, "Anyway, I know what I know, so you don't need to ask anymore. Just talk about it and come to me this time." , what is it for? You actually have something to say when you are at home, right?"

After hearing this, Song Qian stopped talking, walked to the table, sat down, and said, "Actually, I want to ask my sister to help me find someone."

"Oh?" Pang Qianru frowned slightly, "Man or woman?"

Song Qian glanced at the other person: "Of course he is a man. Do you still remember the words I showed you?"

"Oh? Is it the person who wrote those words? Or the person who made the poem above? I was wondering at the time, you regarded those words as a treasure, guessing that he might be your lover." Pang Qianru showed a casual expression when she spoke However, her eyes were fixed on Song Qian's flawless face.

After noticing the slight change in Song Qian's expression, Pang Qianru's eyes flashed coldly, but the smile on her face remained unchanged.

Opposite me, Song Qian said: "Sister, please don't make fun of me. The person I want you to find is the one who writes. He should also come to participate in the examination. I am an old friend from a foreign country, so I want to reminisce about old times."

"The person who wrote it?" Pang Qianru smiled and narrowed her eyes. "This person's handwriting is pretty good, but it's a little lacking. If he studies hard for a few years, he might have a chance to understand the charm."

The Song Qian who was talking to Pang Qianru here was the daughter of Song Yuan, the military governor of Wu Xin Army. She had been in contact with Qiu Yan, but at that time Qiu Yan had not yet understood the way of flesh, blood, blood, and blood. Although his calligraphy was outstanding, he still had The charm cannot be clearly displayed.

Pang Qianru lives in the capital, and her father is in a high position. The people in her family are all high-ranking people. She has seen many famous works. Even if her calligraphy skills are not high, her eyes have long been trained to have extraordinary vision. Evaluate those few words like this.

Those words were written by Qiu Yan when he was recording poems for others at the Wuxin City Literary Society. Song Qian collected some of them afterwards and took them with her.

Hearing Pang Qianru's evaluation, Song Qian did not argue and said with a faint smile: "After that person wrote down these words, it didn't take long for his calligraphy skills to improve by leaps and bounds. Now he has gained some fame. Even in Guanzhong, there are people who know it. ”

"Oh?" Pang Qianru raised her eyebrows, "What do you mean, this person should be from Jiannan Road, but now he has a reputation in Guanzhong? It's not simple! What is his name?"

Song Qian took a deep breath and spit out two words——

"Qiu Yan."

"Qiu Yan?" Pang Qianru's face showed surprise, "It turns out to be him!"

"Sister, do you know Qiu Yan?" Song Qian looked a little surprised and immediately asked.

Pang Qianru immediately frowned, with the word "Chuan" appearing on her smooth forehead, and said solemnly: "This Qiu Yan, his reputation has indeed spread to Guanzhong recently, but that's not why I know this person."

"What's the reason?" Song Qian asked curiously.

"It's because of Mr. Taixu's grandson, Qi Jiulian." Pang Qianru shook her head, "This kid went to Jiannan, and his temperament changed after he came back. He often mentioned the name 'Qiu Yan'."

"Qi Jiulian?" Song Qian showed a look of surprise, "A famous young calligrapher? I heard that he is the beloved grandson of Mr. Taixu. He is said to be the person most likely to develop a master of charm in the past ten years. How could he Mention Qiu Yan?”

"You should ask him about this, not me. Seeing that you are so worried, is it really because of the affair between your children?" Pang Qianru stood up, took off her cloak, walked to the side of the village and sat down, "But , you want me to mobilize my manpower to help you find this person, you should show something, right?"

Song Qian saw it and sighed helplessly: "Sister, I was joking again. When I came here, I happened to run into Mr. Luo. He was looking for you everywhere. I have to go over and explain to him to save him from complaining again. ”

"I didn't expect that even you would learn to take precautions." Pang Qianru smiled sweetly.

Afterwards, the two girls said a few more words, and Song Qian said goodbye and left.

………………

At the same time, in the Xu Mansion, two women also talked about Qiu Yan's name.

Of these two women, one is Xu Ran, who has a graceful temperament, and the other is a tall woman with a slender figure, wearing Confucian clothes, giving people a unique sense of beauty.

"Sister Ji, according to what you said, this Qiu Yan broke his promise. He promised to take you into the forest, but in the end he broke his promise. If it weren't for Mr. He, the chief secretary, you would have never even thought of entering the forest."

Xu Ran was complaining.

The woman in Confucian clothes shook her head and said: "That's not true. I wanted to repay the favor. For this reason, Mr. Qiu did not make a promise, so it cannot be regarded as a broken promise."

Xu Ran frowned: "Sister, are you still speaking for this kind of person? Could it be that you were deceived by his sweet words?"

The woman in Confucian uniform still shook her head and said softly: "You don't have to think too much. I came here this time to ask you to help find this person."

"Still looking for him?" Xu Ran frowned more and more, showing worry.

But the woman in Confucian uniform laughed: "Don't worry, sister. I asked you to find him not out of selfishness, but because you have something to remind him."

"I hope so." Xu Ran looked disbelieving.

The woman in Confucian clothing did not say anything, but said: "Sister is very happy that my sister cares about me so much. But since you also know that the personal relationship between children should not override the mind, you should also pay attention to it and don't be tricked by others. go."

After hearing this, Xu Ran showed an unnatural expression on her face and started acting coquettishly.

At this time, there was a knock on the door. The two women were serious, and then they heard the sound coming in——

"Miss Ji, my master is back. He originally wanted to see you, but two adults from the Ministry of Rites suddenly paid a visit to talk to me, so I can only ask you to wait a little longer."

"It doesn't matter." The woman in Confucian attire nodded and responded calmly, but her mind was full of thoughts.

"Official of the Ministry of Rites? Now everyone in the Ministry of Rites is preparing for the upcoming examination. Could it be that the sudden visit to the Xu Mansion has something to do with the imperial examination?"

………………

"Xu Xiang, you must ask about this matter, otherwise how will the imperial examination proceed?"

"The Talent Recruitment Ceremony is watched by countless pairs of eyes in the world. How can the order be changed overnight? Then Cen Bo and Zhang Hou relied on the emperor's oral instructions to interfere with the preparation for the exam, and even asked questions and questions. If this continues, the imperial examination will be ruined." Just let it go."

In the lobby of Xu Mansion, Xu Jin was sitting in his seat, listening to the complaints of the two officials from the Ministry of Etiquette in front of him.

Even though the two of them looked like bullied little wives in front of Xu Jin, when they walked out, they were equally high-ranking officials. They were two ministers of the Ministry of Rites. In Qiu Yan's previous life, they were senior officials at the deputy ministerial level.

"Cen Bo, Zhang Hou?" Xu Jin frowned, stroked his long beard, and said calmly, "Have you asked Mr. Ma and Mr. Zhang?"

The two of them immediately said: "I have already visited two old prime ministers, and they pointed me here."

Xu Jin's brows furrowed even more tightly, knowing that someone was trying to drag him into trouble, but since people from the Ministry of Rites came to find him, he naturally couldn't treat it as if he had never seen it before, so he could only say: "Since there is an oral order from the emperor, I can't comment on it. We can discuss it in person tomorrow."

For this reason, the two officials also accepted the offer and stood up to leave soon after.

"It's such an eventful time. The City Change Law has not yet been promulgated, but there is already a storm in the city. Now the talent promotion ceremony has to become a battlefield? The storm is really coming."

After seeing the two of them off, Xu Jin went straight back to the study. After pondering for a long time, he sighed, summoned a servant, and ordered: "Is Ji Zheng still waiting? Let her come over, just in time to ask about the attitude of the Ji family. ”

At the same time, many academies in the Da Rui world were also turbulent at this time, and the souls of the Confucian scholars who entered the scholars returned one after another.

Xingjing, Wenguan, inner room.

With a crash, the door was opened, and Bai Zhaoyuan, dressed in white, walked out calmly. (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, the novels will be better and updated faster!)
