"Weird thing?"
Xu Qi'an opened the chair and sat down, and told Susu to pour water for himself.
I'm not your little concubine yet, so I'm just trying to call people... Yan ghost Su Su glanced at him and poured water obediently. After all, I'm talking about the massacre of her family's destruction.
She has to rely on this man for help, otherwise she and her master Li Miaozhen alone will not be able to find out who is ugly after ten years of investigation.
After Xu Qi'an took a sip of tea, Li Miaozhen said:
"Su Su's father is Su Hang, a scholar of 29 years of Joan of Arc, and 14 years of Yuanjing. For some reason, he was demoted back to Jiangzhou as the prefect. The next year he was asked to be executed on charges of bribery and corruption."
Xu Qi'an rubbed the tea cup and asked, "What's the problem?"
"Yes," Li Miaozhen turned her head to look at Su Su, "She doesn't remember that she had been in the capital. Su Su's soul is complete. When my master discovered her, she absorbed the yin spirit of the mass grave. Achievement, as long as she doesn't leave the mass grave, she can survive forever.
"The resentful soul with such cultivation level will not miss her memory, unless her memory is erased during her lifetime."
Su Su said: "Maybe, maybe I have never been to the capital."
Xu Qi'an shook his head: "Whenever you enter Beijing as an official, your family will move to the capital. I'm more inclined to have problems with Su Su's memory during his lifetime. Well, it's interesting."
The two were silent for a moment, and Xu Qi'an said, "Since it is an official in Beijing, then the official department will have his information...The official department is Wang Shoufu's territory, and he and Wei Yuan are political enemies. For sufficient reasons, I have no right to look up the case file of the staff.
"So don't worry, wait for the opportunity."
Li Miaozhen and Su Su nodded.
Xu Qi'an sipped the warm tea and said, "What is your brother's name? How old was he when the Su family had an accident?"
Su Su tilted her head and thought for a while: "It's called Su Chengzhi. He was probably eleven or twelve years old when the family changed."
Now that he is about thirty-two years old, this little brother-in-law can’t find it. It’s nothing more than finding a needle in a haystack........If Dafeng had a well-developed public security system........ Xu Qi'an hinted:
"I will try to find it for you, but you don't want too much hope."
Su Su let out an "um", knowing that finding relatives was too difficult and didn't force it.
After the matter was resolved, Xu Qi'an mentioned the second matter, looked at Li Miaozhen, and said, "When do you plan to start the dispute between heaven and man?"
Li Miaozhen didn't hesitate, "Let’s write down the war script first, and then make an appointment, within seven days.
Xu Qi'an nodded slowly, and bluntly expressed his thoughts: "Before the end of the dispute between heaven and man, you had better leave the capital. No matter what kind of letter you receive or whoever you contact, don't leave."
Li Miaozhen raised his eyebrows, "Are you saying that someone would be against me?"
"This is obvious." Xu Qi'an sighed: "If you have an accident in the capital, the Taoist head of Tianzong will let it go? The land gods of the first grade of Taoism are probably not worse than the supervisor."
Su Su stiffened her paper chest and looked proudly: "Knowing that our Taoist head is a first-class, anyone dares to be against the master?"
Xu Qi'an feels sorry for the female ghost's IQ: "Your father is a Jinshi anyway, but you have not inherited the cleverness of your father... It is precisely because Miaozhen is a saint from the Celestial Sect, that's why it attracts people's attention.
"Your Majesty is obsessed with monasticism. In order to maintain the stability of power, it has contributed to the current situation of multi-party melee in the court. Some people have long been dissatisfied with this. For them, the battle between heaven and man is a good opportunity to use... .......
"In addition, everyone who caused this incident is well known. People from all walks of life have flooded into Beijing, and there must be a mixture of spies from other countries. These people want Li Miaozhen to die in Beijing."
Su Su suddenly realized.
"You are the fourth rank of Taoism. When idlers are not your opponents, foreign masters above rank 4 want to enter the capital to kill you, wishful thinking. And the masters in the imperial court are even less likely to do anything in the capital unless they have the will to die."
"Thank you for reminding me, I understand." Li Miaozhen said: "I will arrange a ghost alert near Xu Mansion. If a suspicious person approaches, I will immediately give a warning. I will take action in advance or leave Xu Mansion. Your family. Although this is unlikely."
Then, she couldn't help but mocked: "Damn Yuan Jingdi."
Hey, please be careful. Just talk about this online... Xu Qi'an smiled and nodded, got up, and said: "Then, I, the outsider of orange, will not disturb the dreams of the two girls Up."
In Li Miaozhen and Su Su's slightly blank gaze, they left the room.
.........
On March 27th, it is advisable to consecrate, cut clothes, travel, and get married.
Today is the day of the Palace Examination, and it is exactly one month before the end of the examination.
The sky was dim, and the aunt got up, wearing a long dress with exquisite embroidery, her hair was a little messy, and she only used a golden hairpin to pick her back.
Her beautiful eyes were a little sluggish, she looked awake, and her eye bags were puffy.
While the aunt arranged for the cook to make breakfast for Erlang, she knocked on Erlang's door with her personal servant Lu'e.
Xu Xinnian wore a pale white robe, with a purple jade gift from the layman Ziyang hung around his waist, and came to open the door to his mother with great energy.
"Jiro got up so early?" Aunty yawned and said:
"Mother asked the room for breakfast, Erlang, would you like to sleep for another quarter of an hour? Mother will call you."
"No need to."
Xu Erlang is a Confucian student of the eighth rank, and his energy is far greater than that of ordinary people. He comforted his mother: "Don't worry, mother, the palace exam is a ranking exam. As I will be yuan, it will not be too low."
The aunt was relieved at the moment, took Lu E out of the room, and when she crossed the threshold, she suddenly screamed.
Xu Erlang was taken aback and ran out of the room to check the situation and saw a woman in white standing quietly holding a red umbrella in the courtyard.
At this time, just after three hours before dawn, the woman was holding a scarlet umbrella, wearing a white dress, and she was full of weirdness.
"Mrs. Xu."
Su Su Yanran smiled and gave a salute.
The aunt breathed a sigh of relief, and said to her heart, at this point, she didn't sleep in the room and ran out to do something. I almost thought I met a ghost.
Xu Erlang stared at Su Su for a moment, then withdrew his gaze calmly, and said to his aunt: "Mother, you can go back to your room and rest."
Dismissed his aunt, Xu Erlang looked at Su Su in the courtyard and said, "Does my elder brother know who you are?"
He sees my charm? Worthy of being a student of Yunlu Academy... Su Su smiled lightly, outlined two pears, and said softly:
"I know, he said he would reshape my body, and then be his concubine for three years."
........This is really something that the elder brother will do. Is the oiran of Jiaofangsi already unable to satisfy his taste? He even thought about ghosts.
Xu Xinian was dumbfounded and could not speak for a long time.
Knowing that today was the palace exam, Xu Mansion lit a candle just after the third shift, and Li Miaozhen heard about it and came out to join in the fun. Everyone had eaten breakfast and sent Xu New Year out.
"Erlang, today is not only a palace test related to your future, but also an opportunity for you to prove your innocence and thoroughly wash away your grievances. You must test well." Xu Pingzhi wore an armor and held a helmet, and said earnestly.
Xu Xinnian walked out and nodded: "I know, dad don't worry, I..."
The second half of the sentence suddenly got stuck in his throat, and he looked stiffly at the opposite street. Two "old acquaintances" stood there, one of which was a burly and tall monk, wearing a white-washed navy.
One was a swordsman in a green shirt, with a strand of white forehead hanging down. He was not too old, but he felt like he had gone through vicissitudes of life.
These two people again, these two people again! !
Xu Xinnian was roaring inside.
"That's the elder brother's friend..." Xu Qi'an patted him on the shoulder, soothing the little brother's inner anger.
There was no contact with No. 4 before, so Xu Xinnian was asked to cover up for him. Now Xu Qi'an's identity has gradually stabilized, and Chu Yuanzhen has gradually accepted the personality of cousin No. 3.
Once the inherent concept is formed, Chu Zhuangyuan will not deliberately deliberate, and will not raise the question that "the third person has a weirdness". People are more likely to trust friends and familiar people for this reason.
Hengyuan and Chu Yuanzheng smiled and nodded. After greeting, their eyes immediately fell on Li Miaozhen.
This Heavenly Sect saint has a fair and clean face with melon seeds, her face is facing the sky, her eyes are like black pearls, clear and bright. The eyebrows are sharp, highlighting her seemingly fierce temperament.
Rather than being a saint of Tianzong, she is more like a female general who has been battle-tested... Yes, she joined the army in Yunzhou for a year... Monk Hengyuan put her hands together , Smiled at Li Miaozhen.
Her breath is restrained, she doesn’t let her down, she can’t see through her cultivation... But since she has come to the capital, it means she has entered the fourth rank, hey, after a fought against Zhang Kaitai, I have been defeated for many years. Did not fight with Sipin.
Chu Yuanzhen smiled, his pupils quietly burning fighting spirit.
The bald head is No. 6, and the back sword is No. 4. Well, as No. 1 said, No. 4 is not on the orthodox road of the human race... Li Miaozhen nodded and said hello.
As for Lina No. 5, she was still asleep in the room, just like her apprentice Xu Lingyin.
"Da da da........"
The three men from the Xu family rode away. Li Miaozhen watched them from behind, and Hengyuan's voice came from his ears: "Amitabha, I hope No. 3 can be a top high school."
Chu Yuanzhen chuckled: "It would be nice to get a second-class. After all, he is a student of Yunlu Academy. However, there is a big secret in the third."
Hengyuan was surprised: "Secret?"
Chu Yuanzhen smiled and nodded, and said unpredictably: "If I didn't expect it to be wrong, the vision of Yunlu Academy's sub-holy hall purging into the sky is related to the third.
"Of course, these are my guesses. There is no basis, believe it or not."
Hengyuan suddenly realized.
Li Miaozhen's expression suddenly turned weird. No. 4 and No. 6 didn't know that Xu Qi'an was No. 3. They always thought that Xu New Year was No. 3.
In the future, if they know the truth, they will remember what they said today, will they be like me, shamelessly waiting to beat Xu Qi'an. But he had to hide it for him.
Because in this way, everyone can assume that nothing has happened.
Thinking of this, she glanced at No. 4 and No. 6 with pity.
.............
The darkness before dawn was the most intense, and four hundred tributes gathered outside the Meridian Gate, waiting for the palace test.
Surrounded by two rows of forbidden troops holding torches, they were still sculptured.
A hundred civil and military officials gathered and looked at the Gongshi who participated in the palace examination from a distance, sometimes whispering to each other. Only officials from the Ministry of Etiquette worked hard to maintain order on the scene.
Verify the identity for the third time and count the number of people.
The Meridian Gate has five openings, three front doors and two side doors. Usually in the upper dynasty, the civil and military officials all entered from the side, and only the emperor and empress could walk through the main entrance.
Of course, the champion, second place, and Tanhua can also enjoy the honor of going to the front door at once.
As Huiyuan, Xu Xinnian stood at the head of the Gongshi, with his head upright and expressionless. That posture, as if everyone here is rubbish.
However, scholars still eat this set very much, especially when a talented Huiyuan poses such a posture, even the officials in the distance exclaimed in his heart:
This son is extraordinary.
With the sound of drums and the completion of the three links, the civil and military officials first entered the Meridian Gate, and then the tributes, led by officials of the Ministry of Rites, also passed through the Meridian Gate, crossed the Jinshui Bridge, and stopped at the square outside the Jinluang Temple.
Xu Xinnian squinted his eyes and looked at the Jinluan Temple in the distance. He could only see the hundreds of civil and military officials on the altar. The performances in the Jinluan Temple were right, and it was impossible to see.
After a long time, the civil and military officials retreated, and the next was the palace exam.
Even Xu New Year can't help but get nervous at this time.
"Guru..."
Gong Shili heard the voice of swallowing saliva.
In such a tense atmosphere, everyone suddenly heard noisy voices coming from behind them, scolding and scolding.
I couldn't help but look back. Through the doorway of the Meridian Gate, I vaguely saw a warlock in white, blocking the path of the civil and military officials.
The white robe turned his back to the crowd, and ignored the scolding around him.
Xu New Year, the eighth grade of Confucianism, even vaguely heard the scolding.
"Yang Qianhuan, do you want to rebel? Get away quickly."
"Yang Qianhuan, what do you want to do? This is the Meridian Gate. Today is the Palace Examination. You can't make trouble if you want to."
Amidst the scolding, a deep sigh came, and the white robe slowly said, "Er Cao's body will be destroyed with his fame, and the river will not be abandoned forever! Bah..."
There was such a moment of silence, the next moment, the civil and military officials fry the pan, and the scene is in chaos.
"Fa, what happened?" A tribute said blankly.
"Well, isn't this a poem by Yin Gong Xu Qi'an mocking the public? Well, that white suit seems to be a member of the Tianjian?"
"He's gone..."
More than 400 tributes, no matter how quiet they were, they whispered and kept looking back at the Meridian Gate.
"Quiet!" The official of the Ministry of Rites yelled and said, "If you have nothing to do with you, the exam will be done with peace of mind. If anyone whispers again, he will be driven out of the Meridian Gate and go home and wait another three years."
The Gongshi dare not speak immediately.
The princes who had just dispersed returned again, or their faces were gloomy, or excited, or filled with righteous indignation and entered the Jinluan Temple. Then there was a quarrel inside.
After a quarter of an hour, the princes came out of the Jinluang Temple and did not come back.
Yang Qianhuan...This name is so familiar~EbookFREE.me~ I seem to have heard of it somewhere...Xu Erlang muttered in his heart.
"Chinese-style tribute at Yunlu Academy in Beijing, Xu New Year."
At this time, the voice of the official of the Ministry of Rites interrupted Xu Xinnian's thoughts. He recovered and took the sealed test paper from the official of the preface of the Hongfu Temple, and walked into the Jinluan Hall with his head high.
..............
The palace exam is only for questioning, and only one day.
Taking the afterglow of the setting sun, Xu Xinnian left the palace. At the gate of the imperial city, he saw his eldest brother sitting high on the horse's back, holding the rein of another horse in his hand, smiling and waiting.
"I told my second uncle, I will pick you up." Xu Qi'an asked, "How did you get on the test?"
"Okay!"
Xu Xinnian said lightly: "If I were a student of the Imperial College, I would be very stable."
.........Don't pretend to be forced! Xu Qi'an nodded with satisfaction: "Yes, the reputation of the elder brother who is so worthy will not be called you brother and dog brother in the future."
Xu Xinnian sighed: "Although the eldest brother is famous, he is not a scholar after all. If the Xu mansion wants to gain a foothold in the capital and be respected by others, he must have a scholar with a background in imperial examinations."
Xu Qi'an said, "Er Lang worked hard, I just came out of Lin'an Princess Mansion."
"..." Xu Xinnian shook his hands.
He lost, but still can't pretend to be a big brother.
Xu Qi'an threw the horse rein to Xu Erlang and said, "Erlang, you have already walked out of the imperial examination road. Tonight, my eldest brother will treat you to the Jiaofang Division to celebrate."
"Where is my mother and sister..." Xu Xinnian frowned.
"My aunt and I said, today's night tour. And you, the hall test is over. Isn't it normal to have a drink with classmates?" Xu Qi'an said.
"Big Brother is right." Xu Xinnian laughed.
