Chapter 124 The Poor Scholar Who Was Missed

Chapter 124 The poor scholar who is being missed

The emperor took it and then asked Pei Zhan to hand it to the man's mouth after looking at it.

The aroma of food induces the man to sit up, or the power of the cherry juice just now has restored some strength, and he catches the cake with both hands and stuffs it into his mouth.

After swallowing the three pieces of cake, he drank half a pot of cherry juice. He breathed a few breaths, got up tremblingly and changed to a kneeling position, and bowed to everyone: "Little student Du Lian, kneel down to thank the nobles for giving food. Please inform the honor and let me repay you in the future!"

The emperor stretched out his hand: "No need to be polite. Where are you from?"

Du Lian was supported by Pei Zhan and Zhang Huai, and after standing firm, he replied: "Xiaosheng is from Huzhou Prefecture."

"Huzhou is located in the south of the Yangtze River and is a prosperous place. How did you leave your hometown and faint here?"

"The officials don't know that Xiaosheng's family had relied on some poor births, and his life was indeed possible. However, three years ago, his parents died of illness one after another. After finishing the funeral of his parents, Xiaosheng did not dare to forget his father's instructions before his death, so he set off in Beijing to take the exam.

"I didn't know that I had believed in the traitor halfway. I was cheated of the bag of 200 taels of silver. I was in a different place and no one helped me, so I fell to this point."

The emperor frowned: "Why do you dare to cheat the candidates who come to Beijing to take the exam?"

Du Lian smiled bitterly: "I am greedy for a lifetime, so how can I care about so much?"

“Where did you lose money?”

“In Tai'an.”

The emperor glanced at Zhao Yu and continued to look at Du Lian: "This place is still 100 to 20 miles away from Beijing, do you have a place to go?"

Du Lian shook his head: "The young student has no relatives in Beijing, so he can only go to the inn to find his fellow villagers to see if there is a way to think about it."

The emperor thought for a while and signaled Pei Zhan. Pei Zhan immediately took off his purse and stuffed it to Du Lian: "There are some broken silver here, please take it to the inn first."

Du Lian insisted not to accept it, so Pei Zhan stuffed his purse into his arms.

Du Lian looked at them with his lips, then bent down and picked up the overturned bookcase, and found two books carefully wrapped with cloth: "The young student really cannot repay the kindness of the few great virtues. Here are only two ancient books passed down from ancestors. Please accept them and show the young student a little thanks."

When Zhao Su saw the emperor taking the book in his hand, he looked around and saw that there were two books that had been published with yellow and burly edges. They did not look like books of poetry and songs, but like books of record books about sorting out coins. The scholar was ragged and his face turned yellow, but these two books were wrapped tightly in fine cloth.

The emperor handed the book back: "This book is your property, but this little money is nothing to us. Keep it well and wait until your future is stable, it will not be too late to send it to me if you have the chance."

After saying that, he turned over and led everyone to the post road.

"Young Master!"

Du Lian followed the book for a while, perhaps because of his weak physical strength, but in the end he fell into Zhao Su's vision and became a small black dot.

It seems that things like meeting hungry scholars are not particularly important. Along the way, they are talking about the camp. After leaving the territory of Yin San Camp, the group went to the fourth camp of Mao again. This time the emperor entered the camp, inspected the area around before returning to the city.

Although Zhao Su is obsessed with Du Lian, her attention is probably a bit special. Du Lian is from Jiangnan and has been to many places. A few days ago, Fang Qingxue asked her to tell her that Empress Dowager Lu wanted to cover the scope of the Huayue Club. She wanted to know whether Huayue would have an expected impact in a place far away from the capital.

When he entered the city and arrived near the Qingyun Marquis Mansion, Zhao Yu looked at the sun that had set west and said to the emperor: "It's noon. Since the emperor is on a tour in a very small way, can he go to his home to take a break?"

According to normal practice, it is probably an hour later to return to the Ganqing Palace from here and wait for lunch. The emperor has not been to the Qingyun Marquis' Mansion in private, so Zhao Yu asked.

The emperor didn't even think much and nodded, "Lead the way."

The group all entered the Marquis' Mansion. When the Marquis Qingyun was not there, the uncle Zhao Nan and the fourth uncle Zhao Ying came out. When the emperor instructed everyone to be casual, the guests and guests were familiar with the guidance of Zhao Nan and took a seat at Sanhezhai in the east garden.

Sanhezhai is a two-story building with only one floor. After entering the garden, the round table has been placed and tea has been brewed.

"Du Lian will definitely go to the Ministry of Rites to register his name before the scientific examination next year. You say hello to your uncle. If Du Lian's situation is true, he will ban his household registration to the capital." He sat down and picked up the cup, and the emperor picked up Zhang Lian.

Zhang Huai seemed to know that this was said to him, and he ordered the leader to do so.

After being registered in the capital, Du Lian could continue to be familiar with the welfare of the court in the capital. Zhao Su did not expect that the emperor was really thinking of a poor scholar.

However, it is not difficult to understand the identity of the second generation of the emperor. Which second generation of the emperor does not want to cultivate its own power? The aristocratic family has been entrenched in the upper class for a long time and is still willing to think about the Tian family. Just like Zhang Yu, he can share the worries and problems of the emperor and should use it himself. Those who are unwilling to obey, like He Zong and others, although they must rely on them in some aspects, they cannot let them make the decision all of them, right?

While they were drinking tea, Zhao Su was pulled away by Hua Xiangrong.

After turning a corner, we arrived under the grape trellis. Yun Xiangyi and Xiaolan Xiaoju were both here. When we saw them coming in, everyone immediately stood up: "Today, everyone in the city is talking about you, Miss! When we came back just now, we specially found a teahouse on the street to sit down. We were talking about the girl being praised by the emperor yesterday! Girl, now no one dares to underestimate you again!"

Zhao Su didn't expect such a big storm to cause, and I don't know if he had never been a pig on the wind. When she heard this, she thought of the word "Everything will turn against the extreme". She said, "I've gotten so excited and didn't feel that it's so great. Let's take it easy in the future, as the big tree attracts wind."

The maids nodded: "I am not the ignorant person. Just let them know that our girls are not as unbearable as they said."

Zhao Su nodded.

After taking a sip of tea, someone came in outside the treasure bottle door behind the grape trellis. It turned out that it was the maid Biyu in the eldest aunt Xing's room. Biyu smiled before he said that: "The third girl is here, so it's easy to find me. Can you enjoy going out to play today?"

"It's all my fun," Zhao Su nodded, "Did your aunt have something to come to me?"

Biyu briefly explained the purpose of the trip: "In the morning, Dr. Chen came to the mansion to ask the girls for the safety of their pulse. If the girl is not here, our wife said that she would not go out tomorrow, Dr. Chen would come again."

Zhao Su said oh, saying, "There is no need to invite her here. I will go to work as a service tomorrow. I just happened to pass by the clinic, so I'll go there myself."
