Due to an error two women's fans
Fifteen days later, the red list of the Tongsheng exam was posted at the entrance of the examination academy.
Qi Yan deservedly topped the list, Gongyanghuai came in second, and the young master from Ding Mansion was behind the two.
Together, the two obtained the document printed with the official seal of Yunzhou Prefecture, and Gongyanghuai kindly invited Qi Yan to the Zuibailou to celebrate.
After playing for a few more days, Gongyanghuai reluctantly bid farewell.
Qi Yan sent him outside the city: "Baishi take care."
"Tie Zhu, you must go to the Gongyang Mansion in the capital to find me when you arrive in Chunwei."
"It's a word."
Gongyanghuai looked at Qi Yan for a few times before he made up his mind and said: "Tie Zhu, you were born in Jinzhou. Since the plague in the first year, Jinzhou has been like an empty city. The emperor once ordered that all Jinzhou students can be within ten years. I don’t think Yunzhou is very peaceful if you are participating in the autumn festival nearby, why don’t you come to Beijing with me?”
Qi Yan cupped her hands: "Thank you Baishi for your kindness, but I still want to walk around, and I should leave Yunzhou City in a few days."
Gongyanghuai nodded: "In that case, I will wait in the capital."
"The green hills remain unchanged, and the green waters flow; Baishi takes care all the way."
…
A few days after sending Gongyanghuai away, Qi Yan packed up and left Yunzhou City.
Through Ding Fengshan's incident, she found that her xinxing practice was not at home, and her experience in dealing with affairs was also slightly lacking. This road of no return is full of dangers, and if you take one wrong step, you may be doomed. There are still more than two years before the big exam, and she has to seize the opportunity.
In the seventh year of Jingjia, the Wei State Taiwei Mansion.
Lu Boyan, the eldest son of Lu Quan, came outside the study, and the housekeeper who was guarding the door bowed to him: "Eldest young master, the master is waiting for you in the study."
Lu Boyan nodded, knocked on the door of the study, and got permission to push the door in.
A few days ago, a pair of twins in the Taiwei's mansion had just held a ceremony for the weak crown. As early as the first year of Jingjia, the emperor Nangong Rang said: When the twins are older, they will be rewarded separately. However, Lu Quan only sought an official position for his second son, Lu Zhongxing, but ordered his eldest son to participate in the scientific examination to fight for his future.
Lu Boyan was very ambitious, and in the not-too-distant autumn season, he overwhelmed all the talents in the capital, and obtained the identity of Jie Yuan in the examination room in the capital.
Lu Quan put down his brush and beckoned: "My son is here just in time, how about this calligraphy for father?"
"Father's writing is powerful and strong; it is a masterpiece."
Lu Quan stroked his beard and nodded with satisfaction, and asked, "Where's your brother?"
A dim light flashed in Lu Boyan's eyes, and he replied, "I went to the palace."
"Isn't it taking a break today?"
"Second brother has a heavy responsibility as a guard with a sword in front of the royal family, and besides..."
"what?"
"I heard that His Highness Zhen Zhen wants to move to a foreign residence, so the second brother is afraid to help."
The "His Royal Highness Zhen Zhen" in Lu Boyan's mouth is Nangong Jingnu, the only direct daughter of Nangong Rang, who was canonized as Princess Zhen Zhen three years ago and built a mansion outside the palace that is comparable in size to a prince. The Princess Mansion was completed last year, but Nangong let her reluctant daughter stay for another year. A few days ago, Nangong Jingnv was clamoring to move out of the palace, and the father and daughter were deadlocked for a while, but Nangong Rang agreed.
Lu Quan was silent for a moment, and Lu Boyan also stood quietly by his father's side and waited.
After a long time, Lu Quan sighed lightly: "It will be spring in two months, can you be sure?"
"Don't worry, father, the child is already in the heart."
Lu Quan nodded, looked at his eldest son for a long time, and said earnestly, "You are smart and diligent since you were young, unlike your younger brother who only likes to dance with guns and sticks. If you can get a title on the gold list this time, you will definitely show your ambition, don't slack off."
"Yes, my son follows his father's teachings."
Lu Quan pondered for a moment, and said leisurely: "Now that there is no war in the four seas, I am just a lieutenant. Presumably in a few years, His Majesty will reintroduce me to be a prince, and plan to pay for my father. The right to send troops to live in the good old days."
After speaking, Lu Quan closed his eyes and leaned back, showing a little tiredness.
"Father!"
Lu Quan waved his hand: "Innumerable loyal ministers and good generals in the past dynasties will inevitably end up 'the birds are gone, the good bows are hidden'. My Lu family is lucky to be able to retreat bravely. I am old, and many things have long been out of my control. You are the eldest son and will be hereditary in the future. Position, hold up the lintel of the Lu family, your brother is pure-hearted and you have to fulfill the duties of a brother."
"…Yes, Father."
"Go."
Lu Boyan left the study with heavy steps, his brows furrowed and his face gloomy.
I don't know since when, his relationship with Lu Zhongxing was no longer close, and he was even jealous of this exact younger brother.
As he grew older, Lu Boyan already understood the value of his being the eldest son, but his younger brother's identical face was like a thorn deep in his heart.
When the Lu brothers were fifteen years old, Nangong Rang ordered Lu Quan to bring the two brothers to the palace in order to fulfill the original promise.
Nangong Rang looked at the identical faces of the two and said with a smile, "The two nephews have the same appearance, even I can't tell them apart."
Lu Quan was silent for a moment, then only asked for an official position for his second son, Lu Zhongxing, and asked his eldest son, Lu Boyan, to apply for an official position by examination. It was not until later that Lu Boyan read a lot of books that he understood that the reason why the twins were regarded as ominous by aristocratic families was because they were the heirs of cholera.
If one party kills them with resentment in their hearts, there is no way for outsiders to tell the difference.
This is also the reason why Lu Quan ordered his second son Shiwu and his eldest son Congwen. It is a pity that the doubts in the heart of the eldest son have not been eliminated.
After Lu Boyan left, Lu Quan summoned his aides to the study for an hour, and after dinner, he summoned his second son Lu Zhongxing to the study alone for questioning.
There is no way of knowing what the father and son said, but Lu Zhongxing was in a very good mood for a few days, laughing and smiling when he met everyone.
Outside the Gongyang Mansion of Zongzheng Temple in the capital.
A sixteen- or seventeen-year-old boy carrying a cage, dressed in a washed-white, patched navy blue gown, knocked on the gate of Gongyang Mansion.
The concierge opened a small door and stuck out his head. Seeing that the other party was dressed in poor clothes, he secretly despised him, but he still asked politely, "What is your son doing?"
The young man bowed his hands and bowed: "Qi Yan, born late, from Jinzhou. Dare to ask if Gongyang Baishi is in the mansion?"
Since Gongyanghuai won the Asian Yuan in the autumn, many poor scholars have come to make friends in various names. The concierge frowned and looked up and down, and then classified the young man in front of him as such a person.
"The second son went to the banquet. The big exam is imminent, and the master instructed the second son to thank you for the time being."
Qi Yan smiled lightly, and replied neither humbly nor arrogant: "If that's the case, I won't bother you if you are born late." Then she took out a jade pendant from her bosom and handed it to the doorman: "When Baishi returns from the banquet, please give this jade pendant to him. ."
The jade pendant was cold, and the concierge saw that the word "white stone" was engraved on the back of the jade pendant.
Suddenly remembered, wasn't this jade pendant the piece that Second Young Master had been hanging around his waist a few years ago
"Hey..." When the doorman hurriedly called out, Qi Yan had disappeared from the crowd.
Three years later, Qi Yan went to Beijing to participate in the Spring Festival as Jie Yuan of Jizhou Prefecture, and followed the agreement of the past to find old friends, but unfortunately no one was there.
The concierge held the jade pendant in front of the door nervously, knowing that he had made a big mistake. The second son must have attached great importance to this friend when he could give the jade pendant to the other party.
But the concierge did not lie, Gongyanghuai did go to the banquet.
Gongyanghuai was delighted with Yayuan, and Xie Yuan was Lu Boyan, the eldest son of the imperial captain.
However, Lu Boyan's identity is precious and secluded, and his popularity among scholars in the capital is far less than that of Gongyanghuai, who is loyal and sparsely wealthy.
This time, the Yiwen meeting was set on the outskirts of the city. The students chose a quiet place and sat on the ground beside the mountain spring. It is a pleasure to compose poems and drink alcohol because of the flow of Qushui.
Gongyanghuai is well-informed and outstanding in writing. He won praise from the whole audience and even got drunk, and was supported by several friends back to the house.
…
A slender, noodle boy entered the back door of the princess' mansion, and was patted from behind within a few steps, so frightened that he exclaimed and dropped the folding fan in his hand.
There was a silver bell-like laughter next to her, and a girl in a luxurious palace dress picked up a folding fan and said with a smile, "Second sister, is this going to meet friends with poetry again?"
The pink face who was called "Second Sister" blushed softly and said angrily, "Quiet girl!"
Nangong Jingnu covered her lips and chuckled for a while, then shook the folding fan with a "pop", but she was stunned by the words on it.
Involuntarily, she read it out: "Sisi willows and willows, Sisi rain, spring is in Mingmeng. Lou'erte is small and does not hide her worries. She went with Yunfei several times to find a return boat. Sorrow. Begonia red is almost green and dry, and the red curtain was rolled up, but it was cold in the evening."
Every word hit Nian Mian Xiaosheng's ears, trickling into his heart.
She was a little crazy when she heard it. Although Gongyanghuai's literary talent was amazing at the banquet, she loved this little decree even more.
I can't help but draw such a picture in my mind: a light rain in the late spring, a young man sitting alone upstairs overlooking the vast smoke and waves, looking at the clouds and clouds.
The spring breeze blew the willow branches, and a pot of turbid wine did not move the nostalgia in my heart. But when he saw the bright purple and red flowers blooming by the riverside, he smiled freely, and raised his glass to thank the heavens for the flowers and sorrows. Unknowingly, it was getting late, and there was a strong evening wind blowing.
Thinking about it, her heart also became drunk, giving birth to bursts of fascination.
The young girl holding the folding fan did not have the same mood, but was amazed: she had seen countless famous posters, but the fan in front of her was unique. Sober and free and easy, two seemingly contradictory qualities are intertwined in one place.
Looking at this little decree again, what I pictured in my mind was a melancholy and deep boy, who must have looked very good.
But she couldn't imagine what kind of eyes the other party had? Only with such a good hand and feeling.
Fan Mian Xiaosheng blushed and snatched the folding fan: "If you tease me like this again, I will go back to the palace. I'm afraid of the dark at night to see who will accompany you!"
There was a hint of timidity in the eyes of the other party, and he quickly laughed. A sly glitter flashed in Wang Qinghong: "Second sister is reluctant to return to the palace! If the emperor finds you disguised as a man to participate in the poetry club, you will be locked up!"
These two are Nangong Rang's two daughters, the older "Fan Nian Xiaosheng" named Nangong Shunv, sixteen years old.
And the younger one is the famous Princess Zhen Zhen: Nangong Jingnu, thirteen years old.
