Chapter 33 Coveted Zhao Xuening(1/2)
"Miss, he won!"
Bai Qingwan's face was filled with joy and ease, and her words were full of surprises, saying, "Mr. Zhu and even the masters of Yunhuan Sect have all taken action, but he still won. Now the city is circulating his name as a gambling saint."
The name of the saint of gambling! Zhao Xuening was stunned, and a big stone in his heart suddenly fell to the ground. He breathed a sigh of relief. He sat down. There was a smile and secret joy in his eyes, but he pretended to complain: "What saint of gambling? I think it's just a gambler. Who is like him who gambles money every day?
It's getting more and more unreasonable."
Bai Qingwan joked: "Miss, then I'll inform Lord Gu Chidao and find an excuse to treat him?"
"Farewell!"
Zhao Xuening hurriedly stopped him.
Bai Qingwan smiled and paused, "Miss, you have been at home for a long time, it's time to go out and relax.
Donglin Academy Autumn Tour ‘Shiting Club’…” Zhao Xuening looked at the table, which was still on the table with Li Fan’s poem she had just finished writing, and said, “I don’t want to go.”
Bai Qingwan was surprised. The lady is a poet who loves poetry. She didn’t even go to such a grand event?
However, when she saw the poem on the table, she knew it.
Indeed, looking at the entire Donglin County, what other poems can surpass Li Fan?
"But Mr. Wei personally sent the invitation. Now, he is still talking to the master."
Bai Qingwan frowned slightly.
Zhao Xuening thought about it with her head, and her eyes suddenly moved, "You said, will Li Fan go?"
Bai Qingwan: "..."…"… "The disciples under Zhao's mansion have been in the palace examination for three consecutive years."
In the living room, an old man with a purple robe had a thin face, a scholar-in-law hangs high, and he lowers his head to taste tea and sighs.
The middle-aged man with green beard thought on his face, his eyes were quite heavy, and he said, "If this continues, the Zhao family will sooner or later become marginalized in the capital... The beginning of his weakness..." What is the most important thing about him.
Talent! What can best reflect talent in this world?
Imperial Examination! Only by continuously passing the imperial examination and sending one's own people into the officialdom can we ensure that our power is always there.
However, it seemed that he had been foolishly defeated Li Fan. In the past three years, none of his students had been able to enter the palace examination, and even after being lucky enough to enter the provincial examination, he was disappointed.
In the past three years, the Jinshi has disappeared! This is an extremely unfavorable sign for the Zhao family of this level.
"Thank you for your hard work, after the spring begins, the 'examination' will begin. Please take care of me."
The middle-aged man with green beard smiled bitterly and said, "I can't enter the provincial examination. It's good to have a few more juren in the palace examination."
Mr. Wei was silent for a moment, looked at the middle-aged man with green beard, hesitated for a while, and finally asked: "There is a question that has puzzled me for a long time."
"Sir, please say."
The middle-aged man said that the green bearded.
Mr. Wei held his beard and said, "General Zhao's achievements are more than one side, and his military achievements are brilliant, and he has today's glory. It can be said that his glory is all achieved through his martial arts.
Why didn’t General Zhao let his disciples participate in the martial arts?
If you take the martial arts journey, many of your children will actually achieve higher successes.”
He sighed softly, "When today, there are cavalrymen in the north, and there are barbarians in the south who do not accept the king's transformation. On the grassland, it has become a place where Hu Di's horses are shed. Jingyun 19 Prefectures has not yet returned..." When talking about the words "Jingyun 19 Prefectures", a deep emotional fluctuation flashed in the eyes of the green-bearded middle-aged man, but in the end he didn't say anything, he just picked up the tea and sucked it slowly.
After a long time, he said lightly: "Mr. Wei, you are a scholar. I really want to hide it from you. I envy you."
"Because today is the world of scholars."
"It's the world of scholars."
He said nothing more.
When Mr. Wei heard this, he wanted to say something, but when he remembered the current situation in the court... he couldn't say anything, and a wry smile appeared on his face.
He stood up, bowed to the middle-aged man with a beard, and said, "I understand what the general means."
I will do my best.”
"Before leaving, please ask the general to tell Miss Xuening that she would also invite her to the meeting during the autumn outing."
The middle-aged man with green beard smiled, "That child has always liked these things, she will go."
Although the autumn outing looks like it is just an ordinary party, before the trial is solved, it can be said that those who are qualified to stand out and enter the provincial exam will definitely show their talents during the autumn outing.
It would be a good thing if these people could get to their subordinates in advance! Even though the Zhao family has always been quite concerned.
Mr. Wei left Zhao's mansion, and Zhao Enlin entered the hall, saluted respectfully, and whispered: "Report to General, I have informed Li Fan of the news."
The middle-aged man with green beard nodded and said, "Yes."
In the future, you won’t have to contact him anymore.”
"He chooses the next path and walks it by himself."
He looked calm.
Guide, but never interfere! This is what he learned from another person.
Zhao Enlin nodded and said, "There is a secret letter coming to the capital."
"The emperor sent an imperial envoy to the Southeast County in the name of inspecting the people's sentiments in all directions... The subordinates felt that the inspection of the people's sentiments was fake, and it was probably a big banquet at the mansion, which attracted too much attention..." Hearing this, the middle-aged man in green beard was silent for a moment, "Can you know who is coming?"
Zhao Enlin said: "'Jade Ring' Wen defeated the mountain!"
Jade ring is its nickname.
The middle-aged man with green beard suddenly raised his eyebrows, "It's him... This person has the eyes of the emperor, has meticulous actions and has far-reaching plans... Let's continue, during this period, everyone, hide what should be hidden, stop what should be stopped!"
Zhao Enlin's heart was shaking, "Yes!"
...In the past few days, all Donglin Gambling Halls have been closed, and the doors are deserted.
Master Nan San was in a state of turmoil.
Faced with the Mo family's competition, he lost his money and was in great pain for a while.
The key is that he still can't do anything to Li Fan now.
After all, the limelight has not passed, and everyone in the city is watching.
He looked for Zhang Yezhi several times, but Zhang Yezhi was busy with the autumn outing and just sent him casually, and had no time to care about it.
Nan San was so angry that he cursed every day, and none of his subordinates dared to touch him... and Li Fan also learned about the situation of the Mo family.
Although Mo Mingzhu was scolded by him, she did not dare to turn against him.
After all, as he said, now, the Mo family has gained more benefits with the help of him.
"Well... After the autumn outing, Nan San's industry will probably be over..." "Mo Mingzhu is a little scheming, and she is not kind-hearted. If she leaves shamelessly this time, she may be malicious... but she is not afraid of it."
Li Fan was calm and controlled the situation while taking advantage of the past few days of leisure to read about the imperial examinations and other matters, and learned a rough idea.
After all, the examination for the exam is coming, and he still carries the name of "Tongsheng" for his whole life. Even a scholar or a juren cannot be tested... It's embarrassing!... Time is like water.
The day of autumn outing is here! This day is sunny and the wind is bright.
There were many carriages parked in front of the Donglin Academy, and men and women came and went, from poor scholars to wealthy families, all scholars with some ambition and knowledge would participate this time.
The daughters and ladies from various major families took this opportunity to pick the jade man with keen eyes.
After all, when the emperor was a scholar, everything was inferior, but he was able to study well.
Even Mo Mingzhu of the Mo family came, and she was also a first-class celebrity.
At this moment, she sat upright in the carriage, uncovered the curtain, and scanned around.
"My father is right. This time, many talented men will come."
"If I can find one or two seeds, and I will be able to enter Beijing to pass the imperial examination in the future, it will be of great help to my younger brother."
She murmured in her low voice, her beautiful eyes full of confidence. In this scene, she believed that her beauty and temperament were not inferior to anyone! At this time, the outside caused cheers.
"There is someone from Zhao's Mansion!"
"Miss Zhao Xuening, is he actually here too?"
"My first beauty in Donglin County is now back to the school hall for a Autumn Tour of the Stone Pavilion?
Haha, I have another chance!"
Many people spoke, and the place where they looked at it was Zhao Xuening's elegant carriage slowly coming.
The carriage slowly stopped in front of the school, attracting much attention.
"Qingwan?"
Zhao Xuening came out of the carriage, and Bai Qingwan, who was accompanying him, glanced around, a little disappointed, "Miss, I didn't come."
Bai Qingwan was also a little hesitant, so Li Fan probably didn't dare to come at all, right?
After all, there are too many talented people coming today. Even though Li Fan has a good poem or two, he is notorious now. Compared with these people, he may feel a little inferior... Should he notify him?
Forget it... She just sighed slightly after all.
Zhao Xuening was silent in the carriage, frowned slightly.
"Young Master Guo Shaoling, the county magistrate, is here!"
To be continued...
