Xu Cizhe can write a nonsense poem, and I can write a few casual sentences to make him feel ashamed.If it weren’t for giving a poem to his cousin Xu Qi'an that day, the jade pendant of Mr. Ziyang should have been mine.
Zhu Tuizhi thought of the festival that day and cursed.
Could it be a fraud in the imperial examination?Liu Jue tentatively said.
Nonsense!The students of Yunlu Academy were furious when they heard this and glared at him one by one.
The fraud in the imperial examination... This word emerged in Zhu Tuizhi's mind, as if it had instantly penetrated all the questions, and reasonably explained why Xu Cijiu was able to write a masterpiece of the past and the Huiyuan in high school.
Immediately, Zhu Tuizhi shook his head: It’s impossible, poetry is not an article. If you know the test questions in advance, you will have time to prepare fully.Brother Liu, I will ask you to use the title of "Spring Scenery" and give you three days. Can you write a work that has passed down from generation to generation?
Liu Jue shook his head: I feel ashamed, I may not be able to write it even if I give it three years.
He took a sip of wine, showed a deep smile, and lowered his voice: But Brother Zhu thought about it, what if the person who wrote the poem for him was Yinluo Xu Qi'an?
The atmosphere at the table was quiet, and neither the students of Yunlu Academy nor the Imperial College did not immediately refute.Instead, I thought about it carefully in my mind.
It's Ah. If it's Xu Shikui, if you can know the test questions in advance, you may be able to write them in one day, not to mention three days.
Farewell poems and plum blossom poems, as well as the half-song songs before the sacrifice in Yunzhou, were all sitting at the fortress.
The students of Yunlu Academy even recalled the "Poems of Encouraging Learning" posted on the academy's wall of fame. According to the great scholar of the academy, Xu Ning's banquet became a poem for ten breaths, and his talent was amazing.
Humph, how can Yinlu Xu Qi'an know the test questions?
Although he thought so in his heart, he would not admit it, the student of Yunlu Academy questioned.
Not knowing it or not, Liu Jue waved his hand and said with a smile: It's just a drunken word, just a guess.However, Xu Qi'an is a silver roul, which is circulated in the officialdom. This person is deeply trusted by Wei Yuan...
He didn't continue to say it.
With this episode, the students of Yunlu Academy lost their mood to drink. They sat for a while, then stood up to say goodbye.
Liu Jue, who is good at socializing, personally sent Zhu Tuizhi and others downstairs, and then took the initiative to check the bill, and everyone dispersed outside the restaurant.
A quarter of an hour later, Liu Jue returned and got into a carriage parked outside the restaurant.
A middle-aged man dressed in a carriage was sitting in the carriage, with a jade ring on his thumb, walnuts in his hand, and a tea cup in his other hand.
Manager Zhao!
Liu Jue bowed respectfully.
The middle-aged man nodded, put down the teacup, turned on the teacup that was folded upside down on the small tea table, poured the cup of tea, and frowned: It smells like wine, drink a little tea.
Thank you, Manager Zhao.Liu Jue held the teacup in both hands, drank it in one sip, and said slowly:
After finding out some things, according to the students of Yunlu Academy, Xu Cijiu could not write poetry at all and his level was poor.The song "The Difficult to Walk" is probably written by someone else.Of course, I have no evidence.
When the middle-aged man heard this, he smiled satisfied and said with a smile: No evidence is needed, this is enough.
……
In the outer city, in the yard with willows.
Taoist Jinlian, who had just swallowed Xuefeng Pills, was bathed in the spring sunshine and felt that his body was no longer cold and no longer transformed into yin objects, but some yin energy remained in his body, which was enough to be eliminated by another Xuefeng Pill.
This body does not fit my soul and it won't take long. Fortunately, the golden lotus of fortune is about to mature, and the lotus seeds can reshape my body for me, and it's time for me to leave the capital.
Hopefully, no accidents will happen.
Taoist Jinlian prayed in his heart.
……
Dalang, that girl seems not from Dafeng.
The son of the concierge Lao Zhang thought about it and described: He is an ugly girl with black skin, and her eyes are still blue.The hair is ugly, with curly curls.
Number five?!
Damn, why did she come to my house? Taoist Jinlian asked her to come?So does she know that I am No. 3?
Taoist Master Jinlian asked him to help find No. 5 instead of No. 3. It can still be covered up by the low level of No. 3. After all, the Confucianism's words become more terrifying as it reaches the later stage.
But in the early grades, the ninth to seventh grades are all hot chickens. When they reach the sixth grade Confucian realm, they can copy other people's skills to have considerable combat power.
In Chu Yuanzhen and Hengyuan's view, although No. 3 Xu Cijiu is extremely smart, when he really needs it, his cousin Xu Ningyan, who has a strong combat power, is more reliable.
It seems that only the time has been absent today... Xu Qi'an nodded and said: I understand. After I take leave, I will go home with you.
After asking for leave, Xu Qi'an sat on the back of a horse and trotted towards the Xu Mansion. Xiao Zhang, the son of the concierge, trotted and followed.
Two quarters of an hour later, he arrived at the Xu Mansion, which was not far from the yamen. Xu Qi'an handed the reins to Xiao Zhang and went straight into the mansion.
As soon as I entered the outer yard, I saw the chefs walking towards the inner yard with plates of hot dishes, steamed buns and rice.
Dalang is back... The cooks breathed a sigh of relief and said, turning their eyes to the inner courtyard:
A girl came to the house and said she was looking for you. She asked what her relationship with you, but she couldn't explain it clearly, and she couldn't hear it clearly in nine out of ten words.
Nine out of ten sentences can't be heard clearly, and No. 5's Nanjiang accent is a bit heavy... Xu Qi'an complained and entered the inner courtyard with the chef. He heard Xu Lingyue's gentle voice from the inner hall from afar:
Miss Lina came from afar from southern Xinjiang. What's the matter with my elder brother?
It's not here to find your elder brother, but to find a few friends and experience it casually... A very heavy accent sounded, and he was talking half-baked official language.
But the sound is like a silver bell, crisp and pleasant, and very nice.
That means you don’t know my elder brother?
Don't know.
After a few words, I found out the details. This girl’s not very smart looks had nothing to do with her elder brother... Xu Lingyue warmly welcomed Lina.
My aunt sat on a chair not far away, frowned slightly, and looked at Lina with a slightly hostile look.
This foreign woman really knows how to eat Ah. In half an hour, she ate the food for three days at home. If she exchanged it for silver, she would... several taels?
This is because my aunt asked the cook to prepare some rice, flour, steamed buns and vegetarian dishes. If it was big fish and meat, how much money would it have to be eaten?
Who can raise this kind of girl?
Miss Lina? What are you doing when you come to my house?
Xu Qi'an stepped into the threshold and looked at the little mangirl from southern Xinjiang with a look of surprise.Compared to the pale face she was injured yesterday, she now has a rosy complexion and bright eyes, as if her injuries have healed.
Taoist Jinlian asked me to come to you and said that during this time in Beijing, I have lived with you.Thank you for helping you.
Lina hurriedly put down her chopsticks, swallowed the food, and looked at Xu Qi'an openly.
She thought that she had come to the capital, and the one who received her was either Taoist Jinlian, No. 3, or No. 4 and No. 6.Who would have thought that he would eventually move into the home of a strange man.
Regarding yesterday, Taoist Master Jinlian had already told her that Lina knew that this young Yinluo with excellent appearance was her life-saving benefactor.
Since he is a friend trusted by the Taoist priest, Lina trusts him without reservation.
She called me Lord Xu, not Number 3... Xu Qi'an stared at Lina for a moment, unable to see the clues from those clear and innocent blue eyes.
Why did Taoist Master Jinlian arrange her by my side?What is the deep meaning of this?
Lao Yinzi didn't discuss this with me before. Judging from my experience in dealing with the old Yinzi, if I discuss it in advance, there is no plan.
If there is no discussion in advance, it must have a profound meaning.
So, Xu Qi'an asked: What else did the Taoist priest tell you?
Lina chewed the steamed bun and said vaguely: Taoist Jinlian said you are the close friend he met in the capital, so I can stay in the mansion with peace of mind.
After swallowing the steamed buns, she said with some anger and grievance: Taoist priest said I can't afford to eat.
Ah... Xu Qi'an's face was dull. It turned out that the reason why Jinlian sent her to me was because she could not afford it?
This is really an impeccable reason. By the same token, No. 6, who lives in a nursing home and No. 4, who is supported by old friends, can't afford to support the southern Xinjiang Xiaomanniu.
Damn it, it feels so bad to be regarded as a big dog. People are in the world. Either you have sex with you for free or I have sex with you for free. Ah... Xu Qi'an sighed: So that's it.
Ahem!
My aunt coughed hard, showing her presence as the mistress of the house.
But Xu Qian ignored her and said to himself: OK, I'll ask someone to arrange a room for you right away.
Xu Ning Banquet!!
The aunt screamed in anger, got up from the chair, pinched her waist, and looked at him with anger: I am your aunt, you, haven’t you ever thought about discussing it with me?
As he said that, his eyes frequently glanced at the messy dining table, telling his unlucky nephew that this girl was a bottomless pit.
This... Xu Qian was hesitant. His aunt's consideration made sense. The prices in the capital are expensive, and it is really too expensive to eat this girl.
Moreover, my luck has changed recently. I no longer picked up money, but changed it to accumulating reputation. Then, Wei Yuan deducted my salary again.
Brother, have you forgotten the chicken essence?
At this time, Xu Lingyue spoke, and she made some calculations for Xu Qi'an: The salt transportation yamen in the capital issued a 2,000 kilogram salt ticket last year, making a profit of 5,000 taels, of which the eldest brother accounted for 10%, earning 500 taels.You have never wanted this money back to Si Tianjian.
I asked the officials of the Yanyun Yamen that the court planned to open at least ten workshops to make chicken essence this year, and by the end of this year, it would be an unimaginable huge wealth.
Therefore, our family is no longer short of money.
The salt ticket mentioned by Xu Lingyue refers only to chicken essence.
Now chicken essence, like salt, has become an important strategic material for the imperial court.
It was unveiled last year and cannot be produced on a large scale, but after the scale of production has been expanded this year, the profits are immeasurable.
If you don't say it, I really forgot... It must be that the old man in charge of the stingy man blocked the chicken essence, which made me unable to remember, he wanted to cheat me.
Xu Qian was surprised to find that he was actually Ma’s father of this era.
Lina didn't understand at all, but she felt very powerful. She came to Beijing from a distance from southern Xinjiang and knew what a copper coin could buy and what a penny could buy.
At the same time, I also know how difficult it is to earn money.
Subconsciously, she looked at Lord Xu, with pure admiration in her eyes, just like a little girl seeing her neighbor's brother burning her noodle hair, wearing jeans, hanging a decorative iron chain around her waist, and dancing street dance in her own yard.
Why don't I know about this?Aunt said suspiciously.
Don’t you know, I’ll let Lingyue tell you.Xu Qi'an looked at his sister with the opportunity.
Xu Lingyue looked confused: Maybe she has forgotten.
The aunt opened her mouth and couldn't speak. She wasn't sure if she had forgotten it, and she had no impression of such a large profit.
At this time, Lina asked in an admirational tone: May I ask Mr. Xu, the name of Gao.
She learned this way of asking questions when she was wandering around in Dafeng.
Xu Qi'an!
Xu, Xu Qi'an... Lina tilted her head, thought for a long time, and suddenly screamed: You are Xu Qi'an, aren't you dead in Yunzhou?
Aunt and Xu Lingyue looked over suspiciously.
This foreign girl claimed to know Xu Qi'an, but she didn't know about her resurrection from the dead. So, what did she do when she came to her house?
Borrow a step to speak.
Xu Qian pulled Lina out of the side hall, walked to the flowerbed and stopped, explaining:
I was not dead, it was Li Miaozhen who made it wrong.Well, in fact, I am an outer member of the Tiandihui Society. Although there are no corresponding fragments of the Earth Book, I know everything about you.
No wonder Taoist Master Jinlian asked me to come to you.Lina smiled happily and easily believed Xu Qi'an's words without any doubts.
It's so easy to cheat... Xu Qi'an said seriously: This is a secret. You can't disclose it to the outside world, even if it's inside the world.
good!
Lina smiled sweetly and nodded vigorously. When she smiled, she was very clear. The southern border was hot. Lina's skin color was a healthy wheat color, but in the aesthetic view of Dafeng, who advocated fair skin and beauty, this was a little black skin.
Let's go for a meal.
How wonderful it would be if everyone in the world was as innocent as No. 5... Xu Qi'an looked at his lively back and sighed sincerely.
He still has many things to ask No. 5, such as how she knew that No. 3 was the one who picked up the money, not the one who made friends out of nothing.
There is no hurry. People with simple personalities are usually more stubborn and will definitely keep it confidential if they say they keep it confidential.
But she eats people soft-heartedly. When she eats at home for a few more days, she will know that it is wrong to have sex for free.
……
cabinet.
Wang Zhenwen, wearing a breeze robe, was sitting at his desk to review the memorials. He had been sitting for two hours, and had been to the toilet several times in the middle, and devoted himself to official business the rest of the time.
The cabinet is equivalent to the emperor's private secretary, with great power, far higher than the six ministries.
Memorials of all sizes of the court, and even suggestions made by the people to the emperor, were summarized by the Tongzheng Envoy Department, and submitted them to the emperor for review, and then handed them to the cabinet.
The cabinet is responsible for drafting the handling opinions, and the Sili Supervisor will submit the opinions to the emperor and finally decide what to do, and finally issue them by the six ministries.
During the reign of Emperor Jing of Yuan, the Tongzheng Envoy directly transferred the memorial to the cabinet, and the cabinet drafted the handling opinions, and finally handed them over to Emperor Jing of Yuan.
A process is omitted in the middle.
This is because Emperor Jing of Yuan believed that the extra process in the middle hindered him from practicing Taoism.
It is precisely the process omitted in the middle that has the most tricks.Because in this way, what Emperor Jing of Yuan saw was only the memorial that the cabinet allowed him to see.
Of course, although Emperor Jing of Yuan was not a good emperor, he was an emperor who was good at using power.In order to curb the excessive power of civil servants and undermine the imperial power, he thought of a way to have the best of both worlds.
The name of this method is Wei Yuan.
From a general perspective, the various parties and Wei Yuan's party are as powerful as water and fire.In terms of small situations, the fight between various parties is fierce.
Emperor Jing of Yuan sat firmly on Diaoyutai, responsible for maintaining balance and practicing Taoism with peace of mind.
Wang Zhenwen opened the last memorial and after reading the content above, he pondered and sat quietly for a long time.Then, take out a note, write down your suggestions, and post them on the memorial.
After doing all this, it happened to be the dusk dispersed.
……
At night, Xu Lingyin's life-and-death enemy was added to the Xu Mansion's dining table.
Xu Lingyin loves and hates this sister who came out of nowhere. She loves her because after her sister comes, the meals at home have increased several times.
I hate it because this big sister eats too much...
I was so small that I couldn't eat her at all.
Uncle Xu looked at Lina with a calm face, turned his head and asked his nephew: Is she a member of the Gu tribe in the Southern Xinjiang, from the Gu tribe?
Lina raised her face from the bowl, with rice particles dipped in the corner of her mouth, and said with a crisp voice: I am from the Li Gu Department, how can Uncle Xu Er know?
Who is your second uncle?Xu Pingzhi snorted coldly.
In the Shanhaiguan Battle, he experienced the war with his own life and had seen the terrifying strength of the barbarians in the Ligu Division. Their characteristic is that they can eat.
It is common for a strong Ligu tribe member to eat a cow a day.
At that time, Wei Yuan never captured the members of the Ligu tribe, and they all killed them directly to save food and grass.
Brother, tell you something.Xu Xinnian suddenly spoke.
I knew you had something to do, but my eyebrows had never relaxed.Talk about it.Xu Qian replied to his cousin while fighting for meat with Lina.
The eldest lady of the Wang family will ask me to visit the lake tomorrow.Xu Xinnian said vigilantly.
What do you think?Xu Qi'an pondered.
Xu Xinnian let out a 'hoo', put down his chopsticks, and said disdainfully: There are only two reasons, either because of personal grudges, he wanted to find the niece of the Minister of Justice.
Either the Shoufu Wang didn't want to let me go, and he was secretly holding it back.
Then what kind of possibility do you think is?Xu Pingzhi took the lead.
Xu Xinnian thought about it and said regretfully: Although I may become a major concern for Shougong Wang in the future, I will not be so worried about him. I think it is Miss Wang who wants to do something bad.
Upon hearing this, Xu Lingyue put down her chopsticks and had a serious face: Second brother, you are not good at dealing with women, I will go with you...
She quickly glanced at Xu Qi'an and changed her words: Although they don't know those messy battles, women still understand women the best.
Xu Xinnian laughed at her eldest sister's IQ. Who said I must go?It was Miss Wang who invited me to visit the lake, not Wang's assistant. Since that's the case, it would be inappropriate for the man and the woman who was not married, and it would be inappropriate to visit the lake together, so I refused.
The military strategy is like this: the enemy advances and we retreat, and we are weak, so we cannot stop our attack.
It's OK, it's okay... Xu Qi'an nodded: You have decided, and you still ask me what to do.
The family ate and said, and the atmosphere was harmonious.
……
The next day, Emperor Jing of Yuan finished meditation, studied the scriptures for half an hour, took bait, and then nourished the spirit for a stick of incense, and the morning class was over.
At this time, he would take some time to review the memorials and would not delay too long, because the cabinet had already made a plan for the vote, and he only needed to approve the dividends.
He opened the first memorial, which was the memorial of the new Zuodu Censor, impeached the Grand Secretary of the Dongge Zhao Tingfang to accept bribes and leaked the question to Xu Xinnian, a student of Yunlu Academy.
The memorial also provides evidence that during the provincial examination, the student's poems were of fourth grade (the lowest grade is fifth grade).How could it be possible to write a masterpiece like "The Road Is Difficult to Walk".
Seeing this, Emperor Jing of Yuan didn't care at all. Poems are not articles. If the article leaks the topic, the nature of the article is very serious.
Poetry should be lighter. Even if you know the test questions, you find that finding a poem is more difficult than getting the test questions.
But then, the memorial mentioned that the student had a cousin who was a silver gong in the Gengren yamen, called Xu Qi'an.
As we all know, Xu Qi'an is the leader of the great poetry.
After reading the memorial, Emperor Jing of Yuan’s pupils became sharp, but he did not express his opinion. He then exposed the cabinet’s votes, which read the cabinet’s suggestions:
The imperial examinations were the top priority for the imperial court to select scholars and seek talents since ancient times.The fraud in the imperial examination is untolerable, so I hope Your Majesty will investigate it strictly.
Emperor Jing of Yuan pondered for a moment, picked up his pen and criticized the red.
Zhu Tuizhi thought of the festival that day and cursed.
Could it be a fraud in the imperial examination?Liu Jue tentatively said.
Nonsense!The students of Yunlu Academy were furious when they heard this and glared at him one by one.
The fraud in the imperial examination... This word emerged in Zhu Tuizhi's mind, as if it had instantly penetrated all the questions, and reasonably explained why Xu Cijiu was able to write a masterpiece of the past and the Huiyuan in high school.
Immediately, Zhu Tuizhi shook his head: It’s impossible, poetry is not an article. If you know the test questions in advance, you will have time to prepare fully.Brother Liu, I will ask you to use the title of "Spring Scenery" and give you three days. Can you write a work that has passed down from generation to generation?
Liu Jue shook his head: I feel ashamed, I may not be able to write it even if I give it three years.
He took a sip of wine, showed a deep smile, and lowered his voice: But Brother Zhu thought about it, what if the person who wrote the poem for him was Yinluo Xu Qi'an?
The atmosphere at the table was quiet, and neither the students of Yunlu Academy nor the Imperial College did not immediately refute.Instead, I thought about it carefully in my mind.
It's Ah. If it's Xu Shikui, if you can know the test questions in advance, you may be able to write them in one day, not to mention three days.
Farewell poems and plum blossom poems, as well as the half-song songs before the sacrifice in Yunzhou, were all sitting at the fortress.
The students of Yunlu Academy even recalled the "Poems of Encouraging Learning" posted on the academy's wall of fame. According to the great scholar of the academy, Xu Ning's banquet became a poem for ten breaths, and his talent was amazing.

Not knowing it or not, Liu Jue waved his hand and said with a smile: It's just a drunken word, just a guess.However, Xu Qi'an is a silver roul, which is circulated in the officialdom. This person is deeply trusted by Wei Yuan...
He didn't continue to say it.
With this episode, the students of Yunlu Academy lost their mood to drink. They sat for a while, then stood up to say goodbye.
Liu Jue, who is good at socializing, personally sent Zhu Tuizhi and others downstairs, and then took the initiative to check the bill, and everyone dispersed outside the restaurant.
A quarter of an hour later, Liu Jue returned and got into a carriage parked outside the restaurant.
A middle-aged man dressed in a carriage was sitting in the carriage, with a jade ring on his thumb, walnuts in his hand, and a tea cup in his other hand.
Manager Zhao!
Liu Jue bowed respectfully.
The middle-aged man nodded, put down the teacup, turned on the teacup that was folded upside down on the small tea table, poured the cup of tea, and frowned: It smells like wine, drink a little tea.
Thank you, Manager Zhao.Liu Jue held the teacup in both hands, drank it in one sip, and said slowly:

When the middle-aged man heard this, he smiled satisfied and said with a smile: No evidence is needed, this is enough.
……
In the outer city, in the yard with willows.
Taoist Jinlian, who had just swallowed Xuefeng Pills, was bathed in the spring sunshine and felt that his body was no longer cold and no longer transformed into yin objects, but some yin energy remained in his body, which was enough to be eliminated by another Xuefeng Pill.
This body does not fit my soul and it won't take long. Fortunately, the golden lotus of fortune is about to mature, and the lotus seeds can reshape my body for me, and it's time for me to leave the capital.
Hopefully, no accidents will happen.
Taoist Jinlian prayed in his heart.
……
Dalang, that girl seems not from Dafeng.
The son of the concierge Lao Zhang thought about it and described: He is an ugly girl with black skin, and her eyes are still blue.The hair is ugly, with curly curls.
Number five?!
Damn, why did she come to my house? Taoist Jinlian asked her to come?So does she know that I am No. 3?
Taoist Master Jinlian asked him to help find No. 5 instead of No. 3. It can still be covered up by the low level of No. 3. After all, the Confucianism's words become more terrifying as it reaches the later stage.
But in the early grades, the ninth to seventh grades are all hot chickens. When they reach the sixth grade Confucian realm, they can copy other people's skills to have considerable combat power.
In Chu Yuanzhen and Hengyuan's view, although No. 3 Xu Cijiu is extremely smart, when he really needs it, his cousin Xu Ningyan, who has a strong combat power, is more reliable.
It seems that only the time has been absent today... Xu Qi'an nodded and said: I understand. After I take leave, I will go home with you.
After asking for leave, Xu Qi'an sat on the back of a horse and trotted towards the Xu Mansion. Xiao Zhang, the son of the concierge, trotted and followed.
Two quarters of an hour later, he arrived at the Xu Mansion, which was not far from the yamen. Xu Qi'an handed the reins to Xiao Zhang and went straight into the mansion.
As soon as I entered the outer yard, I saw the chefs walking towards the inner yard with plates of hot dishes, steamed buns and rice.
Dalang is back... The cooks breathed a sigh of relief and said, turning their eyes to the inner courtyard:
A girl came to the house and said she was looking for you. She asked what her relationship with you, but she couldn't explain it clearly, and she couldn't hear it clearly in nine out of ten words.
Nine out of ten sentences can't be heard clearly, and No. 5's Nanjiang accent is a bit heavy... Xu Qi'an complained and entered the inner courtyard with the chef. He heard Xu Lingyue's gentle voice from the inner hall from afar:
Miss Lina came from afar from southern Xinjiang. What's the matter with my elder brother?
It's not here to find your elder brother, but to find a few friends and experience it casually... A very heavy accent sounded, and he was talking half-baked official language.
But the sound is like a silver bell, crisp and pleasant, and very nice.
That means you don’t know my elder brother?
Don't know.
After a few words, I found out the details. This girl’s not very smart looks had nothing to do with her elder brother... Xu Lingyue warmly welcomed Lina.
My aunt sat on a chair not far away, frowned slightly, and looked at Lina with a slightly hostile look.
This foreign woman really knows how to eat Ah. In half an hour, she ate the food for three days at home. If she exchanged it for silver, she would... several taels?
This is because my aunt asked the cook to prepare some rice, flour, steamed buns and vegetarian dishes. If it was big fish and meat, how much money would it have to be eaten?
Who can raise this kind of girl?
Miss Lina? What are you doing when you come to my house?
Xu Qi'an stepped into the threshold and looked at the little mangirl from southern Xinjiang with a look of surprise.Compared to the pale face she was injured yesterday, she now has a rosy complexion and bright eyes, as if her injuries have healed.
Taoist Jinlian asked me to come to you and said that during this time in Beijing, I have lived with you.Thank you for helping you.
Lina hurriedly put down her chopsticks, swallowed the food, and looked at Xu Qi'an openly.
She thought that she had come to the capital, and the one who received her was either Taoist Jinlian, No. 3, or No. 4 and No. 6.Who would have thought that he would eventually move into the home of a strange man.
Regarding yesterday, Taoist Master Jinlian had already told her that Lina knew that this young Yinluo with excellent appearance was her life-saving benefactor.
Since he is a friend trusted by the Taoist priest, Lina trusts him without reservation.
She called me Lord Xu, not Number 3... Xu Qi'an stared at Lina for a moment, unable to see the clues from those clear and innocent blue eyes.
Why did Taoist Master Jinlian arrange her by my side?What is the deep meaning of this?
Lao Yinzi didn't discuss this with me before. Judging from my experience in dealing with the old Yinzi, if I discuss it in advance, there is no plan.
If there is no discussion in advance, it must have a profound meaning.
So, Xu Qi'an asked: What else did the Taoist priest tell you?
Lina chewed the steamed bun and said vaguely: Taoist Jinlian said you are the close friend he met in the capital, so I can stay in the mansion with peace of mind.
After swallowing the steamed buns, she said with some anger and grievance: Taoist priest said I can't afford to eat.
Ah... Xu Qi'an's face was dull. It turned out that the reason why Jinlian sent her to me was because she could not afford it?
This is really an impeccable reason. By the same token, No. 6, who lives in a nursing home and No. 4, who is supported by old friends, can't afford to support the southern Xinjiang Xiaomanniu.
Damn it, it feels so bad to be regarded as a big dog. People are in the world. Either you have sex with you for free or I have sex with you for free. Ah... Xu Qi'an sighed: So that's it.
Ahem!
My aunt coughed hard, showing her presence as the mistress of the house.
But Xu Qian ignored her and said to himself: OK, I'll ask someone to arrange a room for you right away.
Xu Ning Banquet!!
The aunt screamed in anger, got up from the chair, pinched her waist, and looked at him with anger: I am your aunt, you, haven’t you ever thought about discussing it with me?
As he said that, his eyes frequently glanced at the messy dining table, telling his unlucky nephew that this girl was a bottomless pit.
This... Xu Qian was hesitant. His aunt's consideration made sense. The prices in the capital are expensive, and it is really too expensive to eat this girl.
Moreover, my luck has changed recently. I no longer picked up money, but changed it to accumulating reputation. Then, Wei Yuan deducted my salary again.
Brother, have you forgotten the chicken essence?
At this time, Xu Lingyue spoke, and she made some calculations for Xu Qi'an: The salt transportation yamen in the capital issued a 2,000 kilogram salt ticket last year, making a profit of 5,000 taels, of which the eldest brother accounted for 10%, earning 500 taels.You have never wanted this money back to Si Tianjian.
I asked the officials of the Yanyun Yamen that the court planned to open at least ten workshops to make chicken essence this year, and by the end of this year, it would be an unimaginable huge wealth.
Therefore, our family is no longer short of money.
The salt ticket mentioned by Xu Lingyue refers only to chicken essence.
Now chicken essence, like salt, has become an important strategic material for the imperial court.
It was unveiled last year and cannot be produced on a large scale, but after the scale of production has been expanded this year, the profits are immeasurable.
If you don't say it, I really forgot... It must be that the old man in charge of the stingy man blocked the chicken essence, which made me unable to remember, he wanted to cheat me.

Lina didn't understand at all, but she felt very powerful. She came to Beijing from a distance from southern Xinjiang and knew what a copper coin could buy and what a penny could buy.
At the same time, I also know how difficult it is to earn money.
Subconsciously, she looked at Lord Xu, with pure admiration in her eyes, just like a little girl seeing her neighbor's brother burning her noodle hair, wearing jeans, hanging a decorative iron chain around her waist, and dancing street dance in her own yard.
Why don't I know about this?Aunt said suspiciously.
Don’t you know, I’ll let Lingyue tell you.Xu Qi'an looked at his sister with the opportunity.
Xu Lingyue looked confused: Maybe she has forgotten.
The aunt opened her mouth and couldn't speak. She wasn't sure if she had forgotten it, and she had no impression of such a large profit.
At this time, Lina asked in an admirational tone: May I ask Mr. Xu, the name of Gao.
She learned this way of asking questions when she was wandering around in Dafeng.
Xu Qi'an!
Xu, Xu Qi'an... Lina tilted her head, thought for a long time, and suddenly screamed: You are Xu Qi'an, aren't you dead in Yunzhou?
Aunt and Xu Lingyue looked over suspiciously.
This foreign girl claimed to know Xu Qi'an, but she didn't know about her resurrection from the dead. So, what did she do when she came to her house?
Borrow a step to speak.
Xu Qian pulled Lina out of the side hall, walked to the flowerbed and stopped, explaining:
I was not dead, it was Li Miaozhen who made it wrong.Well, in fact, I am an outer member of the Tiandihui Society. Although there are no corresponding fragments of the Earth Book, I know everything about you.
No wonder Taoist Master Jinlian asked me to come to you.Lina smiled happily and easily believed Xu Qi'an's words without any doubts.
It's so easy to cheat... Xu Qi'an said seriously: This is a secret. You can't disclose it to the outside world, even if it's inside the world.
good!
Lina smiled sweetly and nodded vigorously. When she smiled, she was very clear. The southern border was hot. Lina's skin color was a healthy wheat color, but in the aesthetic view of Dafeng, who advocated fair skin and beauty, this was a little black skin.
Let's go for a meal.
How wonderful it would be if everyone in the world was as innocent as No. 5... Xu Qi'an looked at his lively back and sighed sincerely.
He still has many things to ask No. 5, such as how she knew that No. 3 was the one who picked up the money, not the one who made friends out of nothing.
There is no hurry. People with simple personalities are usually more stubborn and will definitely keep it confidential if they say they keep it confidential.
But she eats people soft-heartedly. When she eats at home for a few more days, she will know that it is wrong to have sex for free.
……
cabinet.
Wang Zhenwen, wearing a breeze robe, was sitting at his desk to review the memorials. He had been sitting for two hours, and had been to the toilet several times in the middle, and devoted himself to official business the rest of the time.
The cabinet is equivalent to the emperor's private secretary, with great power, far higher than the six ministries.
Memorials of all sizes of the court, and even suggestions made by the people to the emperor, were summarized by the Tongzheng Envoy Department, and submitted them to the emperor for review, and then handed them to the cabinet.
The cabinet is responsible for drafting the handling opinions, and the Sili Supervisor will submit the opinions to the emperor and finally decide what to do, and finally issue them by the six ministries.
During the reign of Emperor Jing of Yuan, the Tongzheng Envoy directly transferred the memorial to the cabinet, and the cabinet drafted the handling opinions, and finally handed them over to Emperor Jing of Yuan.
A process is omitted in the middle.
This is because Emperor Jing of Yuan believed that the extra process in the middle hindered him from practicing Taoism.
It is precisely the process omitted in the middle that has the most tricks.Because in this way, what Emperor Jing of Yuan saw was only the memorial that the cabinet allowed him to see.
Of course, although Emperor Jing of Yuan was not a good emperor, he was an emperor who was good at using power.In order to curb the excessive power of civil servants and undermine the imperial power, he thought of a way to have the best of both worlds.
The name of this method is Wei Yuan.
From a general perspective, the various parties and Wei Yuan's party are as powerful as water and fire.In terms of small situations, the fight between various parties is fierce.
Emperor Jing of Yuan sat firmly on Diaoyutai, responsible for maintaining balance and practicing Taoism with peace of mind.
Wang Zhenwen opened the last memorial and after reading the content above, he pondered and sat quietly for a long time.Then, take out a note, write down your suggestions, and post them on the memorial.
After doing all this, it happened to be the dusk dispersed.
……
At night, Xu Lingyin's life-and-death enemy was added to the Xu Mansion's dining table.
Xu Lingyin loves and hates this sister who came out of nowhere. She loves her because after her sister comes, the meals at home have increased several times.
I hate it because this big sister eats too much...
I was so small that I couldn't eat her at all.
Uncle Xu looked at Lina with a calm face, turned his head and asked his nephew: Is she a member of the Gu tribe in the Southern Xinjiang, from the Gu tribe?
Lina raised her face from the bowl, with rice particles dipped in the corner of her mouth, and said with a crisp voice: I am from the Li Gu Department, how can Uncle Xu Er know?
Who is your second uncle?Xu Pingzhi snorted coldly.
In the Shanhaiguan Battle, he experienced the war with his own life and had seen the terrifying strength of the barbarians in the Ligu Division. Their characteristic is that they can eat.
It is common for a strong Ligu tribe member to eat a cow a day.
At that time, Wei Yuan never captured the members of the Ligu tribe, and they all killed them directly to save food and grass.
Brother, tell you something.Xu Xinnian suddenly spoke.
I knew you had something to do, but my eyebrows had never relaxed.Talk about it.Xu Qian replied to his cousin while fighting for meat with Lina.
The eldest lady of the Wang family will ask me to visit the lake tomorrow.Xu Xinnian said vigilantly.
What do you think?Xu Qi'an pondered.
Xu Xinnian let out a 'hoo', put down his chopsticks, and said disdainfully: There are only two reasons, either because of personal grudges, he wanted to find the niece of the Minister of Justice.
Either the Shoufu Wang didn't want to let me go, and he was secretly holding it back.
Then what kind of possibility do you think is?Xu Pingzhi took the lead.
Xu Xinnian thought about it and said regretfully: Although I may become a major concern for Shougong Wang in the future, I will not be so worried about him. I think it is Miss Wang who wants to do something bad.
Upon hearing this, Xu Lingyue put down her chopsticks and had a serious face: Second brother, you are not good at dealing with women, I will go with you...
She quickly glanced at Xu Qi'an and changed her words: Although they don't know those messy battles, women still understand women the best.
Xu Xinnian laughed at her eldest sister's IQ. Who said I must go?It was Miss Wang who invited me to visit the lake, not Wang's assistant. Since that's the case, it would be inappropriate for the man and the woman who was not married, and it would be inappropriate to visit the lake together, so I refused.
The military strategy is like this: the enemy advances and we retreat, and we are weak, so we cannot stop our attack.
It's OK, it's okay... Xu Qi'an nodded: You have decided, and you still ask me what to do.
The family ate and said, and the atmosphere was harmonious.
……
The next day, Emperor Jing of Yuan finished meditation, studied the scriptures for half an hour, took bait, and then nourished the spirit for a stick of incense, and the morning class was over.
At this time, he would take some time to review the memorials and would not delay too long, because the cabinet had already made a plan for the vote, and he only needed to approve the dividends.
He opened the first memorial, which was the memorial of the new Zuodu Censor, impeached the Grand Secretary of the Dongge Zhao Tingfang to accept bribes and leaked the question to Xu Xinnian, a student of Yunlu Academy.
The memorial also provides evidence that during the provincial examination, the student's poems were of fourth grade (the lowest grade is fifth grade).How could it be possible to write a masterpiece like "The Road Is Difficult to Walk".
Seeing this, Emperor Jing of Yuan didn't care at all. Poems are not articles. If the article leaks the topic, the nature of the article is very serious.
Poetry should be lighter. Even if you know the test questions, you find that finding a poem is more difficult than getting the test questions.
But then, the memorial mentioned that the student had a cousin who was a silver gong in the Gengren yamen, called Xu Qi'an.
As we all know, Xu Qi'an is the leader of the great poetry.
After reading the memorial, Emperor Jing of Yuan’s pupils became sharp, but he did not express his opinion. He then exposed the cabinet’s votes, which read the cabinet’s suggestions:
The imperial examinations were the top priority for the imperial court to select scholars and seek talents since ancient times.The fraud in the imperial examination is untolerable, so I hope Your Majesty will investigate it strictly.
Emperor Jing of Yuan pondered for a moment, picked up his pen and criticized the red.
