800 novel network, the fastest update of the latest chapters!
Huaiqing will see me too? ! Well, based on the relationship between me and the two princesses, after the fight, I think I want to see... But, am I seeing Huaiqing first or Lin'an first?
Xu Qi'an pondered for a while, and then he had the answer: see Huaiqing first.
He chose this way for a reason, not that he cares more about Huaiqing than Lin'an. Xu Qi'an's choice is closely related to the IQs of the two princesses.
Huaiqing is too clever to fool you, and is deep-minded, and will not show his dissatisfaction with you. He may cheat you when he is not sure.
Lin'an is relatively innocent. She is coquettish and willful and often makes troubles unreasonably, but in fact she doesn't hold grudges, and she exposes her temper after she loses her temper.
"Okay, I will follow you into the palace."
Xu Qi'an asked the officials to deliver the papers to Haoqilou, while he rode into the palace with the guards.
After completing the corresponding process, Xu Qi'an stepped into Dexin Garden and saw Huaiqing in the elegant and clean hall. She was dressed in a white palace dress that fits her personality, and her hair was simply rolled up with a golden hairpin, and strands fell down. Qingsi.
The coldness is like a fairy in a picture.
The hanging green silk made her a little more lazy smoke.
"Sure?" Huai Qing smiled lightly.
"It's not a big problem, the humble post looks like a cow. For this little injury, just sleep." Xu Qi'an smiled.
Huai Qing nodded in relief, greeted him to take a seat, and said: "This time the battle is won, and the court will surely award it. However, it is easy to join the ranks but difficult to join the ranks.
"If Mr. Xu is not short of silver, he can ask his father to ask. Xu Ci's old future will be guaranteed."
Who can marry Huaiqing in the future, just like the big-eared thief who won Zhuge Kongming! Xu Qi'an sighed with emotion.
This is indeed a brilliant idea.
Adapt to sacrifice a little bit of interest in exchange for Jiro's future, paving the way for the little brother's first assistant.
"The humble post has asked your majesty for the pill certificate." Xu Qi'an said with regret.
"Pill Book Iron Voucher?" Huai Qing frowned, and said: "What do you want this thing to do? Although it can sometimes achieve miraculous effects, it may also be useless."
She meant that the emperor’s right to interpret this thing rests with the emperor. Emperor Yuan Jing has no credit. This thing is useless... To put it bluntly, the red book iron coupons are like the credit notes of my previous life, the government If there is credit, the money is worth it. If the government has no credit, the money is Zimbabwean currency...... Huaiqing can say such things to me, it is a heartbreak.
Xu Qi'an smiled faintly: "It's also possible to get miraculous effects."
Huaiqing stopped struggling, and continued: "Have you really learned the Diamond Art?"
Xu Qi'an stretched out his palm, the flesh and blood quickly condensed into golden paint, and the whole arm was flowing with pale golden light.
Huaiqing was not happy, and whispered: "As you know, how many martial arts are so greedy by this King Kong undefeated?"
Xu Qi'an was startled and did not speak.
Huaiqing drank a sip of tea and said: "You are in great momentum now, and no one will deal with you clearly. People around you are paying attention, and you should also pay attention to yourself, don't let others seize the flaws." /
After a pause, she added: "Wei Gong is not invincible."
With the strong combat power that I showed in my battle, even if the people in the capital are salivating, they dare not pay attention to me... and the big guys will not come to the sky. With the excitement of human disputes, naturally you don’t know how to fight... Huaiqing’s meaning is obvious.
How many people in the capital can covet my King Kong undefeated?
Civil officials may covet my undefeated King Kong, after all, they don't need it, but they can give the dead and confidants in the house.
However, this is not a direct benefit and a necessary benefit after all, so civil officials will not be too enthusiastic.
It's honor and military!
"Thank you for your reminder." Xu Qian said sincerely.
After chatting for a few more words, Huaiqing said casually: "Last time you gave me the script, the maids around me read it. It is said to be quite interesting.
"Although I don't look at those things, I can't hold back their repeated requests...what about the follow-up?"
"His Royal Highness wants it, I'll send it to you in a few days." Xu Qi'an smiled.
Huai Qing nodded reservedly: "Don't worry, just a few maids want to see it. Well, just tomorrow."
Aren’t you in a hurry? You’re in a hurry... OK, I’ll look for Zhong Li, the tool man, code word when I go back today........ Xu Qi’an Belly defamation.
After a few chats, Xu Qi'an found an excuse to say goodbye to Princess Huaiqing.
He first returned to the outside of the palace, waited for Yulin Weitong to pass, then reentered the palace and went to the Shaoyin Garden.
"Master Xu stayed!" The guard raised his hand to stop him and said:
"The princess of Lin'an is dead, we are not seeing guests today, please come back."
"Princess Lin'an invited me to come. You will know if you go to pass the message." Xu Qi'an reminded him.
Unexpectedly, the guard was very strong, and shook his head: "Master Xu, don't embarrass your humble position, please go back."
It's a big crime to beat the guards in the palace. Your kid is very lucky...Lin'an, this is angry, knowing that I went to Dexinyuan in Huaiqing first... ...While Xu Bai thought about prostitution, he already had a countermeasure, and said angrily:
"His Royal Highness obviously invited me to come. If you don't pass the message, I can't help you. Just wait outside."
............
The ordinary carriage stopped outside the palace. Xu Xinian opened the curtain, got out of the carriage on the wooden bench prepared by the coachman, turned around, and reached out to the beautiful girl.
Xu Lingyue held her second elder brother's palm and got out of the car steadily. The siblings handed the invitation card to the servant at the door and entered the house under the leadership of the other.
"Second brother, I have been worrying about this, is it because of nervousness?" Xu Lingyue whispered.
"Your second brother, I will not be nervous even when I have met the current saint." Xu Cijiu said lightly, his face was serious, his brows were slightly frowned, and his voice was lowered and said to the sister:
"When you enter the banquet, listen more, watch more, talk less. You are only accompanying the family, nothing will happen, as for me..."
As for me, if I don't want to, I will be the first assistant for a while.
In fact, apart from anything else, Xu Erlang is a well-deserved leader of his peers because of his courage and fighting spirit.
The palace is huge. The brothers and sisters walked with the people for a long time, passing through the courtyard, and finally came to a garden, with rockery and green water, lined with new green leaves, and budding flower bones, the scenery is quite pleasant .
In the spacious garden, there were clear chants and Yingying Yanyan's sweet laughter.
Walking out of the corridor, Xu Erlang and Xu Lingyue saw two groups of people sitting in front of the case. On the left were a dozen scholars wearing Confucian shirts, all of them full of energy and spirit.
On the right is a group of young and beautiful girls in various dresses.
When the Xu family brothers and sisters appeared on the stage, the atmosphere was obviously stagnant, and the eyes of the young handsome and the young girls brightened.
Xu Erlang frowned. This is a little different from what he expected. In his imagination, the essay will be hosted by Wang Shoufu, and the Gongshi who participated in the literary meeting will express himself in front of the first assistant. Philosophy and show your talents.
If you can win the favor of Shoufu, you will have a backer in the court in the future.
Unexpectedly, the atmosphere of the literary meeting could be so relaxed, with good wine and delicacies, as well as fresh melons and fruits, and...there are so many young girls.
"Master Xu, Miss Xu, please take a seat soon."
A woman with good facial features and a decent temperament stood up and gave a salute.
She is tall, with a slightly round face, quiet and beautiful, and her eyes are very bright. When she laughs, she is not only the decent and generous of the ladies, but also a hint of cunning.
Xu Xinnian and Xu Lingyue paid a gift. The former looked at it a little, then walked to the seat on the left and picked an empty seat to sit down.
"Xu Huiyuan, admire the name for a long time."
Fang Fu took his seat, and the surrounding tributes raised their wine glasses.
Sure enough, besides me, there are no other students from Yunlu Academy. These people are all students of the Imperial College..........Xu Xinian's heart trembled with a calm smile on his face and a toast in return.
He talked freely with the Gongshi for a while. These people were polite and surprised him a bit. There was no incident of hiding needles in the cotton or blatant provocation.
With Wang Shoufu's tactics and ingenuity, openly provoking is really low-end..........Xu Xinian nodded slightly. He deserves to be Wang Shoufu. Before anyone arrives, he has made me like a big enemy.
On the other side, Xu Lingyue was placed next to Miss Wang. The latter smiled gently: "How old is Miss Xu this year."
Xu Lingyue said in a low voice, "Seventeen."
Miss Wang immediately said: "Sister Nineteen, just call you Sister Lingyue, okay?"
Who is she, the attitude of a protagonist.........Xu Lingyue smiled and said: "Listen to my sister."
Miss Wang smiled more and more enthusiastically, and said: "Then call me Sister Sisi."
After chatting for a few words, Xu Lingyue knew who this gentle and amiable woman was. She was actually the daughter of Wang Zhenwen, the first assistant.
"Does Sister Lingyue have a marriage?" Miss Wang asked suddenly.
Xu Lingyue lowered her head shyly: "Not yet married."
If it was replaced by a man asking her this question, Xu Lingyue would definitely be angry, but she was surrounded by women, speaking in a low voice, and most importantly, the other party was Wang's daughter.
Miss Wang was surprised: "My brothers at home must be engaged, and my sister must hurry up."
Xu Lingyue glanced at her, shook her head and said: "The two elder brothers are not married yet."
Not yet married...Miss Wang said quietly: "With the talents of the two sons of the Xu family, I must have been married."
The girls around quietly pricked their ears.
Whether it is the handsome Xu Xinnian or the heroic Xu Qi'an, the latter is the latter, who has just experienced a battle, and the noble family members of the capital are extremely curious about him.
Miss Wang smiled sweetly.
However, there are exceptions to everything, there is a Shaoyang strange airway in purple:
"The Xu family is a fisherman. Xu Qi'an was originally a quick hand in Changle County, and Xu Pingzhi was just a guardian of hundreds of swordsmen. For such a family, Miss Xu will marry a merchant’s house in the future. , Maybe I can join the giants."
Xu Lingyue couldn't figure out the girl's background, so she made a wronged gesture and lowered her head.
Seeing this, the other daughters were a little unhappy with the purple girl.
Miss Wang squinted her eyes and said softly: "Yan Er, speak well...Sister Lingyue, Yan Er is the niece of Shangshu of the Criminal Ministry."
Xingbu Shangshu's niece...Xu Lingyue moved in her heart and remembered that Zhou Li, the son of the minister of household minister, had colluded with the penal department and locked her eldest brother in the prison.
It turned out to be an enemy.
"Sister Yan'er is straightforward, and she is right." Xu Lingyue shook her head, forcing herself to suppress her grievances and smile:
"My eldest brother was once a martial artist, and my second brother was also unemployed."
The girl named Yan'er is speechless for a while. If she picks up this topic, she will continue to mock Xu Qi'an and Xu Xinnian in the audience, one is in the table, and the other is prestigious.
"Okay, have tea and tea." Miss Wang forced the conversation to end.
The literary meeting proceeded as usual, and the tributes talked from poems to major national events, and occasionally interacted with the ladies, and the scene was quite happy.
Xu Xinnian found that what he was talking about was quite pleasant, so he found an excuse, said that the garden was good, and went to the side with a wine glass, thinking about what Wang Shoufu's conspiracy was.
"The flowering season is approaching, but withered?" He stared at a pool of withered lotus leaves in a daze.
At this time, a gentle voice came from behind: "This is the red lotus in Qingzhou. It blooms in mid-winter, and withers and wilts when spring begins. However, the climate in Beijing is very different from that in Qingzhou. Big."
Looking back at her anger, she was the woman with good facial features.
Xu Xinnian now knows his identity, Zuoyi said: "Miss Wang."
"Call me longing," she said.
.........Xu Xinnian said: "Miss Simu."
Wang Simu smiled and looked at the gifted and beautiful people who left their seats and enjoyed the scenery and gardens, and said softly: "Xu Gongzi's first journey is difficult, and he yearns for mounting in the room, watching every day."
"My elder brother is the best when it comes to poetry." After Xu Erlang finished speaking, he said with dignity: "However, the article is natural, and I can get it by hand, and I have a chance to get it by hand."
Xu Erlang feels at ease when he uses his eldest brother's things to show his saints.
The family doesn’t talk about two things, the eldest brother’s things are mine.
..............
Xu Lingyue sat by the pool, facing the breeze, watching the scenery boredly.
Wenhui is not interesting, she is not in that circle, and the "young talents" that my mother said are really good, but they are not on the stage compared to the big brother and the second brother, even if these people are all It's Gongshi.
"Huh!"
There was a cold snort behind her, and the purple-clothed girl came over, gave Xu Lingyue a sharp look, and cursed: "Little bitch, what did you pretend to be pitiful?"
Xu Lingyue raised her head, weak and weak: "What did Sister Yan'er say? I, I am so pitiful."
The purple-clothed girl sneered: "Just your tricks, you dare to show your ugliness in front of me, pretending not to be unclear? A lowly girl from a rude martial arts family, is it good to sit here and sit with me? Right?
"Get out of the palace immediately, don't let me see you in the future."
Xu Lingyue frowned: "Sister Yan'er hates me because of my elder brother?"
The purple-clothed girl sneered and scolded: "You know yourself."
That Xu Qi'an who was the enemy of his uncle was of course one reason, another reason was that this little hoof just pretended to be pitiful, to win the sympathy of the sisters, so she touched a soft nail, which was very embarrassing.
The girl in purple has never suffered this kind of grievance.
Thinking of this, she became more irritated and more jealous of Xu Lingyue’s beauty, and said fiercely: "A little **** like you, just the tricks that can’t be used on the stage, looks like a fox. Believe it or not, Grandma Aunt sold you to the brothel and let you taste the suffering of the world."
Xu Lingyue was aggrieved immediately, "The Second Brother Wenhui brought me here. How can I leave midway at the invitation of the palace. Or, sister help me?"
The girl in purple frowned upon hearing this.
At this moment, Xu Lingyue concealedly stretched out her hand and severely pinched the purple-clothed girl's waist.
The sore face of the purple girl turned pale, and she subconsciously reached out and pushed her.
Xu Lingyue "taken advantage" of the situation and fell back into the pool.
"Help, help...I can't swim, second brother, second brother, save me..."
Xu Lingyue cried and screamed, attracting the ideas of a group of talented men and beautiful ladies.
"It's falling into the water, someone fell into the water."
"Help people, come here..."
The exclamation continued to sound, and everyone quickly gathered around.
Xu Xinnian, who heard the call for help, went to the prestige and saw Xu Lingyue sinking and floating in the water, drowning, his face changed drastically, and he had no time to greet Miss Wang and rushed over.
"Poof..."
He jumped into the water, grabbed Xu Lingyue's waist, lifted her out of the water, and with the help of Miss Wang and others, he pulled Xu Lingyue up.
"Quickly, go to the house and fetch my cloak." Miss Wang hurriedly ordered the maid.
Russian, the maid fetched the Greatcloak, and Miss Wang put it on Xu Lingyue herself. The latter nestled in the arms of the second brother, crying.
The crowd gathered around, watching the developments.
Xu Xinnian's face was gloomy, he glanced at the purple-clothed girl, lowered his head and asked, "Lingyue, what's the matter?"
Xu Lingyue smoked her nose, her hair pressed against her Qingli face, weak and pitiful, sobbed:
"I, I don't know, this sister told me to get out of the palace, saying that I was not worthy to sit with her, I ignored her, and she pushed me into the pool."
Everyone looked at the purple-clothed girl in an instant. The Gongshi glanced at Xu Lingyue, who was pitiful and pitiful, and at the domineering purple-clothed girl, frowning secretly.
"I don't have one."
The purple-clothed girl flushed with anger, pointed at Xu Lingyue, and cursed: "Bitch, you dare to hurt me, obviously you pinched me first. Don't believe her, this little **** is hurting me. She went into the water deliberately."
A daughter frowned and said in a low voice: "Although Yan'er is a little sassy, she won't do anything to push people into the water."
The purple-clothed girl cast a grateful look at her girlfriend, and then pointed at Xu Lingyue very cooperatively: "She did it herself. She deliberately fell into the water and wanted to frame me. This little **** has a bad heart. "
Everyone looked suspiciously at Xu Lingyue.
Xu Lingyue ignored the gaze around her, tears rolled down, and weeped:
"Second brother, did the eldest brother offend someone? This sister Yan'er said that elder brother often opposes her uncle. She can't do anything with her, but she can sneak me into the brothel."
Sold into the brothel...Xu New Year's anger instantly burned to the top of his head, fixedly looking at the purple-clothed girl: "I don't know where the girl belongs."
Miss Wang was a little guilty, and whispered: "Yan'er's uncle is Sun Shangshu of the Criminal Ministry."
All the tributes suddenly realized that they looked like "it is so". As tributes, they will definitely enter the court as officials in the future. They have a certain understanding of the court.
They have heard of the grievances between Sun Shangshu and Xu Qi'an of the Criminal Ministry, and the most famous one is the "Sangbo Case · Gifts to Sun Shangshu".
It is still talked about so far.
With Xu Shikui's current reputation, this poem must be passed on to future generations, and Sun Shangshu will be stinking for thousands of years.
In this way, the Yan'er girl today has plenty of motivation to push sister Xu Shikui into the water.
"You........"
The purple-clothed girl is speechless again. She did say these words and wanted to deny it, but looking at the looks of the scholars around, she knew that her excuse was meaningless.
"You said my sister pinched you, where did you pinch you?" Xu Xinnian asked.
"My waist." The purple-clothed girl's eyes were angry.
Xu Xinnian nodded slowly: "The girl is a good strategy, knowing that scholars do not look at indecent assault and cannot be verified. You can explain everything with one mouth."
The purple-clothed girl was taken aback, and suddenly understood the reason why the little **** pinched her waist. Now, the reason is unclear.
"We can test it." A young girl said.
Xu Xinnian nodded: "When I look back and pinch myself, there will be bruises. My sister is stupid and can't argue with her mouth."
This........ The girl in purple and her close best friend was speechless by Xu Erlang.
Xu Xinnian sneered and said: "If you don't give me an explanation today, this matter will never rest with you."
The purple-clothed girl's eyes were red, pointing at Xu Xinnian and yelling: "Don't be too arrogant, you have a guild yuan, what is it, what do you dare to do with me?"
"Pop!"
Xu New Year slapped backhand.
The purple-clothed girl staggered a few steps, her cheeks were instantly red and swollen, she covered her face, in disbelief: "You, do you dare to hit me?"
Everyone was stunned. They didn't expect Xu New Year to be so decisive. He didn't hesitate to strike up a woman.
"Everyone is a testimony of today's matter. I will tie her to see an official now, and I will ask you to be a witness later."
After finishing speaking, Xu Xinnian stared at the purple-clothed girl, and said coldly: "It's not to the criminal ministry or to the government office. Xu asked the girl to go to the government office."
Everyone's face changed drastically.
Where is the squadron yamen? Entering it, even the Ministry of Criminal Justice's words will not work well, you really have to worry about pushing someone into the water, convicting a deliberate murder, and beating the guard.
Even if Shangshu of the Criminal Department tried their best to rescue, after she came out, the reputation of the girl's family would be lost, and in the future, can we marry a right family?
Fear flashed in the eyes of the purple-clothed girl, she walked quickly to Miss Wang and cried: "Sister Long, save me.........I don't want to call the government office."
Wang Simu immediately looked at Xu Lingyue, who said quietly.
This woman is not a good stubborn...Miss Wang has this idea in her heart, then she looks at Xu Xinnian and whispers:
"Xu Gongzi, Yan'er was just an unintentional mistake. I asked her to apologize and compensate Lingyue for the corresponding losses. Can it be exposed for the sake of the little girl."
She was also very embarrassed. The literary meeting was held in her house. If this happened, Xu Xinnian was asked to take people away, so there would be a rift between Shangshu and her father.
To stop Xu Xinnian and completely offend him... This is what Wang Simu didn't want to see, so he planned to resolve the dispute in private without reporting to the officials.
"Okay, I don't have to report to the official when I see Miss Wang's face." Xu Xinnian said.
At the moment, Miss Wang led the Xu family brothers and sisters into the side hall to negotiate compensation and apology.
"Yan'er has a stubborn and willful personality. For such wrongdoing, he should be compensated and apologized...how about five hundred taels of silver." Miss Wang stared beautifully.
"Silver is only a trivial matter, mainly based on attitude." Xu Xinnian said lightly.
Wang Simu glanced at the purple-clothed girl, who bowed his head to apologize.
Xu Xinnian nodded and said: "One thousand taels, one less is deliberate murder."
"....... Cheng."
Wang Simu smiled gently, with a pleasant face: "Master Xu will take sister Lingyue back to get clean clothes. Don't catch a cold."
So, Miss Wang asked someone to fetch one thousand taels of silver notes, which were thankfully handed to Xu Xinnian, and personally sent the brothers and sisters out of the house.
In the carriage, Xu Xinnian handed the one thousand taels of silver notes to Xu Lingyue, saying: "Sister, the silver notes are collected, and the future will be part of your dowry."
He stretched out his hand to hold Xu Lingyue's shoulder, and said leisurely: "The blood is boiling, the wind will not invade."
Xu Lingyue felt a warm current rushing from her body, dispelling the chill.
She breathed out comfortably, and whispered: "Second brother, it's my fault that caused you to leave the meeting early."
Xu Xinnian waved his hand: "It's okay to leave early. To be honest, I don't have much confidence to fight Wang Shoufu. Before he comes, I leave early. This is what a gentleman does."
Pause for a while and continue: "It's that Miss Wang, it's not easy."
Xu Lingyue asked: "Miss Wang is extraordinary, she works in an orderly manner, and she can live with pressure."
From the beginning to the end, she was dealing with things. She was obviously not her business, but she had a very good attitude of "admitting mistakes" and she was a leader.
Xu Xinnian laughed and said: "This is just one. You fell into the water, but she didn't leave you to change clothes at the house. This is for the dead girl of the Shangshu Family of the Criminal Department, and for me and you. .
"Lingyue, you fell into the water on your own initiative, right."
Xu Lingyue said in a low voice, "Second brother, do you know why Big Brother is more likable than you?"
Xu New Year's eagerness immediately aroused: "I have never been more likable than him."
Xu Lingyue shook her head: "Change to the eldest brother. Now he is sure and hesitates to me. He blames me for not protecting me. He understands everything in his heart, but he won't say it."
Xu Xinnian's expression froze suddenly.
..............
"Why are you crying?"
Miss Wang held the kerchief in her hand, wiped tears to the purple-clothed girl, and smiled: "You are a concubine. Since you were a child, no one dares to provoke you.
"You can see some things clearly, but the temperament that you have developed since childhood makes you prefer to go straight, which is not right. Marry someone in the future, you will feel better."
"That little **** fell into the water by himself." The purple girl yelled aggrievedly.
"These are not important, what everyone thinks is important. They think you pushed it, then you pushed it." Miss Wang smiled.
"Sister, you won't help me~IndoMTL.com~The girl in purple clothes airway.
"I can't beat those two siblings." Miss Wang said with a smile.
She is in a good mood and has gained a lot. First, Xu Cijiu was not married, nor was he married. Second, I found out the temperament of Xu's sister.
Thirdly, although the communication is short, Xu Xinnian's character and temperament are very appetizing to her.
Long good-looking, strong personality, smart, assertive and scheming, and more importantly, he is willing to offend the criminal ministry for his family.
Since ancient times, there are countless majestic and majestic men. They are smart, insidious, and cruel.....These people are all boring, because they only see their own ambitions and dominance, and they rarely have a family. The female family is the first.
To be able to teach such a pair of scheming children, and to cultivate an amazingly talented nephew, the head mother of the Xu family must be an incredible figure.
Miss Wang's eyes flashed sharply, full of fighting spirit.
