Chapter 18: The Jade Bracelet Passes a Letter to Reveal the Truth

The poem says:

Rescue your lover from the gate of hell, your lover's skills lie in your good hometown.

In the capital, there is a man who praises his officials and is a strong man. Enemies meet on the road.

Who do you think Li Deren bumped into? It was the scholar Li Deren rescued from hell during the plague in Liangxiang three years ago, the eldest lady of the Gao family's finger-to-tip lover, and her cousin

Luo Huaideluo Binghui.

As we said in the previous article, three years ago, a plague broke out in Liangxiang County. In Gaofu, Gao Huilan, the eldest daughter of Gaofu, contracted the plague together with her cousin. It was Li Deren who saved him from the gate of hell.

, now Li Deren has bumped into, it is this Luo Huaide, also known as Binghui.

I remember back then, after Luo Huaide and Luo Binghui were rescued by Li Deren, he met his second uncle, Luo Tiantang and Luo Shaofeng, in the lobby of Liangxiang County. Luo Tiantang gave him a big slap in the mouth. Only then did Luo Tiantang tell the old miracle doctor about Luo Huaide's situation.

Li Ming and others talked about it, and with the persuasion of the old miracle doctor Li Ming, he was sent back to Mrs. Luo in Wenjiazhuang to continue studying.

Time flies so fast. Three years have passed in a blink of an eye. Luo Huaide missed the last big year because of his father's unjust case. Later, he went to find his father-in-law, but was criticized by the Gao family for being poor and favoring the rich.

Fortunately, it was Miss Gao Huilan. Thinking of their childhood sweethearts, she took her back to the house and hid her in her room. Unexpectedly, the epidemic suddenly happened and both of them were infected with the disease at the same time.

A big girl hid a wonderful scholar in the house. Gao Huilan did not accept everyone's treatment at first and refused to open the door. However, Li Deren was moved by emotion and reason, and then he persuaded Gao Huilan to open the door for treatment. Li Deren gave

The two of them were placed in the same room and covered with a screen. After three days of rescue, the two of them were out of danger.

Now Luo Huaide is full of ambition. Although he has suffered from the cold window, he came to the capital to take part in the biennial imperial examination. After passing 7 test papers, Luo Huaide ranked first in the written examination. After passing the imperial examination of Emperor Shengzong, he was full of experience.

The famous Luo Huaide not only wrote a wonderful article, but also answered questions fluently. Emperor Shengzong was so happy that he personally selected the number one scholar. The examiner flattered him and persuaded the emperor to betroth Princess Zi Yan to him.

This Luo Huaide was originally engaged to be married to Gao Huilan, and the two of them once shared life and death together, and Gao Huilan also paid the price of her reputation. At this time, Luo Huaide should have been in the Golden Palace, opening the book to explain that he was at home.

The marriage has been decided, so I refuse to accept this prince-in-law.

Who knew that when Luo Huaide heard that he was going to be made the Prince Consort, he was overjoyed. He quickly lifted up his clothes and knelt down in the Golden Palace, thanking the emperor for his favor. The emperor was so generous and so bold that he took over a relative of the royal family.

Emperor Shengzong was also happy. Princess Ziyan was originally the apple of his eye, but now she actually recruited the top scholar in this subject as his consort. This was really great news. He quickly issued an imperial edict to invite the top scholar according to past practice.

Lang wears red and flowers

! Riding on a big horse, he went to the capital to praise his officials for three days. The civil servants still got off the sedan after seeing them, and the military generals got off their horses after seeing them. He was a third-level official, not to mention that he was about to become the prince-consort. After three days of boasting about his officials, he became the number one scholar.

The man and the princess got married according to the decree.

Luo Huaide was full of ambition and high spirits,

Wearing red and wearing flowers, with gongs in front to clear the way, and cavalry to escort behind, they were swaggering through the streets of the capital, and they were ordered to praise officials. This was already the third day. Unexpectedly, the new champion, the cavalry accompanying him, knocked down Li Deren.

.

When Li Deren saw Luo Huaide, Luo Huaide also recognized Li Deren at a glance. Luo Huaide was so frightened that he broke into a cold sweat. Why? Because Luo Huaide knew that Li Deren knew his details. His pleasant expression just now suddenly turned red and his face turned red.

He came, no longer trying to be gentle, but got angry and shouted loudly, "You brave man, how dare you rush into the No. 1 Scholar, and you don't beat him to death with sticks from both sides."

When Li Deren heard Luo Huaide's frantic shouting, he knew that he was going to kill someone to silence him, so that no one would know his true identity. Li Deren thought in his heart that a good man will not suffer the immediate disadvantages, and 36 strategies are the best, so he pushed away

Everyone spread

He ran away with his legs. When he got out of the crowd, he took a breath of Dantian Qi, and a big roc spread his wings and flew to the roof of the street. He continued to use Qinggong and flew along the ridge of the house, like a black lightning.

Generally, it disappears quickly.

When Luo Huaide saw this, he was shocked. He thought to himself, with this little information about him in someone else's hands, his life or death was a bit uncertain this time. This would be to cut the grass without eradicating the root, and let the evil tiger return to the mountain, which would lead to endless troubles.

, although he was frightened in his heart, he still pretended to be nonchalant on his face, and ordered the people around him to continue moving forward.

After Li Deren ran out for a mile, he quickly got down from the edge of the room and met a scholar. Li Deren hurriedly stepped forward, bowed deeply, and asked, "Excuse me, sir, are you coming to Beijing to take the exam?"

A move?"

The other party quickly returned the gift and replied, "I'm going to Cangzhou, Hebei Province to raise my son Kong Fanxing. I don't know what's going on with you, sir."

Li Deren said quickly, "I am from Liangxiang County. I wonder if I have an old friend. Can he be ranked in the high school?"

Kong Fanxing said respectfully, "Liangxiang County is in the limelight this time. Liangxiang County's top sons, Luo Huaide and Luo Binghui, are already at the top of the high school. Not only are they the top picks in new subjects, but they have also been granted a marriage by the emperor, marrying Princess Ziyan.

He, after three days of boasting, the number one scholar became the prince-in-law, but he is your old friend."

Li Deren said to Kong Fanxing, "Mr. Kong, I am a young doctor in the countryside. I once had an acquaintance with the number one scholar. I wonder if Mr. Kong will succeed this time?"

Kong Fanxing was about 20 years old and looked like a young scholar. It seemed that this was his first time participating in the imperial examination. He shook his head and said to Li Deren, "Kong is not talented. Although he is a descendant of a saint, his writing is poor. This time

I can only return empty-handed. I have failed my mother in all her hard work at home, and I have failed to live up to these 10 years of poverty. It’s okay not to mention it.”

As a doctor who was walking around the streets, Li Deren met a lost soul. The two of them could be said to have sympathy for each other, and they seemed so cordial in their hearts. He said to Kong Fanxing, "My dear friend, can you lend me a moment to talk?"

Kong Fanxing saw that Li Deren had no ill intentions, so he followed him into a small restaurant on the street. After sitting down, Kong Fanxing said politely, "My dear friend, we met by chance and we only talked a few words. How can I bother my dear friend?"

Li Deren said with a smile, "Brother Kong Ren, you're welcome. Since it is fate that we are together, why not let us

Talking while eating? Maybe there will be a bigger surprise?"

Kong Fanxing's face turned red and he said shyly, "My dear friend, I'm just kidding. What surprises can a Kong loser have?"

Li Deren ordered a table of dishes, and the two of them chatted while eating. Li Deren said, "Brother Kong Ren, is Geng your wife this year?"

Kong Fanxing stood up and said humbly, "Brother Li Ren, Kong spent his 21st spring in vain."

Li Deren quickly pulled him to sit down on his seat, then stood up and bowed to Kong Fanxing, saying, "I am Li Deren, I am 20 years old this year. I am above you. Please bow to me."

Kong Fanxing also quickly grabbed Li Deren and said kindly, "Brother, you and I hit it off immediately. If you have any questions, why don't you talk to me face to face?"

Li Deren said to Kong Fanxing, "My younger brother is from Liangxiang County. He makes a living by practicing medicine. He happens to have some connection with Princess Ziyan. I also have an acquaintance with Luo Huaide, the number one scholar. I have a letter that I need you to deliver to the palace. You just need to be there."

If you hold this jade bracelet at the door, you can deliver the letter. It's really inconvenient for me, please ask Brother Kong."

Kong Fanxing asked Li Deren, "Where is the letter?"

Li Deren called his clerk, asked for the Four Treasures of the Study, spread a thin piece of sheepskin on the table, splashed ink with brushes, and quickly wrote a letter, sealed it with wax, and handed it into Kong Fanxing's hands.

When Kong Fanxing saw Li Deren, he was really a handsome young man with such a great talent. He admired him even more. He accepted the letter without saying a word. The two of them were already full of wine and food. When Kong Fanxing saw that it was still early, he

He held the letter in his arms and headed directly to the Forbidden City.

The little eunuch guarding the city gate saw a fair-faced scholar and quickly blocked him, loudly asking, "Who is so bold as to dare to break into the palace?"

Kong Fanxing took out the jade bracelet and said to the eunuch in a low voice, "My father-in-law, I was entrusted by someone to deliver a letter to Princess Zi Yan. Here is Princess Zi Yan's token."

The little eunuch took the jade bracelet and did not dare to neglect it. He quickly went inside to find the eunuch in charge. After a while, a big eunuch led a group of little eunuchs to Kong Fanxing and said politely, "Mr.

, we have already taken the token to present to the princess, please wait here first."

After a while, a little palace maid sent word to the princess that the gentleman should come to see him.

Kong Fanxing followed the palace maid through the Forbidden City, which was decorated with carved beams and columns, and came to Changning Palace, where he was taken directly inside.

I saw a girl as beautiful as a fairy sitting on the Grand Master's chair in the main room. Kong Fanxing did not dare to raise his head and hurriedly stepped forward to salute. He knelt down and said, "Princess, I am a common man. Kong Fanxing has seen thousands of years old."

"

Princess Zi Yan made a gesture to keep him flat. She neither spoke nor spoke, but stretched out her hand to ask for something.

Kong Fanxing hurriedly took out Li Deren's letter from his arms and handed it into the hands of the palace maid, who then placed the letter in front of Princess Zi Yan.

Princess Zi Yan took the letter and opened the wax seal. The princess refused to read it and became furious when she saw it.

Exactly: a chance encounter and a letter sent in, angering the emperor for a thousand gold coins.
