Planning to marry the third master

Hu Cong was also stunned, Feng Zhuohua's tone seemed to indicate what he was going to do.

Sure enough, I heard her say: "I want to know about King Yu."

Hu Cong frowned imperceptibly and said, "Why does Madam want to know about Prince Yu?"

Feng Zhuohua said: "Shopkeeper Cong doesn't need to know, I have my own intentions."

Hu Cong said: "It is risky to go to Jinling to convey information about officials and family members, especially Prince Yu."

Feng Zhuohua nodded and said, "You can talk to me when I come to Bianjing later."

That's fine, Hu Cong thought about it. He didn't know whether to talk about the third master, and he was afraid that a woman would ruin the third master's affairs. So I chose not to say anything.

After Hu Cong left, Feng Zhuohua thought about it. It was rare that Xie Yunxiao was not here, and his business was still expanding, and it was all due to Hu Cong.

After Hu Cong left, Chaoyi came in and reported: "Third Grandma, do you want the people who are staring at Xie Changkang to withdraw?"

Feng Zhuohua nodded and said, "Is there anything special about it?"

Chao Yiyi said: "There is nothing special about him. He goes up and down on time every day, and he never goes out at night."

Feng Zhuohua frowned and said, "Withdraw it. What's so special about Prince Yu?"

Chao Yiyi said: "Prince Yu is a member of the official family, and his subordinates told them to be careful. They are all newcomers who are going out to do things for the first time. They are not asking for merit, but they are asking not to cause trouble. Therefore, during this period, I only know that Prince Yu occasionally goes to Tao Yiju." .”

"Tao Yiju? Where is it?"

"The tea room where we play chess looks like an elegant place from the outside."

Feng Zhuohua's chess skills were average. Since he was playing chess, someone must be playing chess with him. Who was playing with him?

Feng Zhuohua said: "I understand. I told them not to follow them tomorrow."

"Yes."

......

Before the martial arts test, the top three were not decided, and the emperor announced that three people would enter the palace, including Baili Jimo. It was so long ago that someone from the Baili family was invited to the palace. Even Baili Chengan didn't dare to think about it, and the whole family couldn't believe that this bastard had such great fortune.

Baili Cheng'an warned Xie Yunxiao: "Don't be afraid or nervous when you go in front of the emperor. Just show up as you normally do, but you must be respectful."

Xie Yunxiao looked at the old man, who was even more nervous than him, and said softly: "I know."

The eunuch came over to invite someone, and naturally greeted him with a smile, saying, "Master Baili, we have to walk faster."

Madam Baili stepped forward and stuffed two broken pieces of silver into her mouth, and said, "My father-in-law, can you give him some advice? It's his first time entering the palace." It's kind of nice to miss her, she was so petty before.

The eunuch took the money and said, "Of course, of course."

Mrs. Baili said kindly: "Ah Mo, if you don't understand, just ask this father-in-law."

Xie Yunxiao glanced at the woman, said nothing, and strode forward.

Baili's house was located in a relatively remote location, so the little eunuch almost had to trot when conveying good words, while Xie Yunxiao walked with long strides, but they could walk side by side. Xie Yunxiao asked: "How many people did the emperor invite?"

The eunuch said: "There are three people in total. Young Master Du, the second young master of the Song Dynasty, and you." Naturally, after taking the money, I had to talk a lot more.

"What kind of official position does the Song family hold?"

"General Longhu."

Xie Yunxiao nodded. The home of a military commander was insignificant to him, but that was not the point. The ranking was not the point. The point was to enter the palace.

It took half an hour to walk like this. The eunuch said a few more words: "The emperor intends to select a consort among the candidates this time. Mr. Baili must perform well."

Xie Yunxiao frowned, what he was most afraid of was these, and without stopping he asked: "Which princess?"

The eunuch smiled and said: "Of course she is the emperor's favorite sixth princess."

Xie Yunxiao snorted in his heart and walked calmly. He was trying to kill him, so he thought he couldn't be held responsible.

The eunuch looked at "Baili Jimo" all the way. His face was expressionless whatever he said, which made him unable to understand.

Others rode while he walked. When they arrived at the palace gate, the other two waited for a long time.

The little eunuch who was waiting saw everyone gathered and said, "You three, follow me to the imperial palace."

Before entering the palace, the three of them were searched one by one, and then they followed the eunuch together.

When they arrived at the official's house, the three of them knelt down together and saluted, "See you, Your Majesty."

The emperor sat in front of the case and said solemnly: "Ping Shen."

The three of them stood up with almost the same movements, put their hands on their chests, and waited for instructions.

There were several important officials and princes nearby, who also looked at these people.

The emperor first looked at the first Du Chengmao, and said with a smile: "I just said that the young master of Du Guogong's mansion is very good. Today, I saw that he is indeed a man of both talent and appearance."

Du Chengmao said: "As the legitimate son of Du Guogong, ordinary people dare not slack off."

"Yes." The emperor nodded. Then he said to the second one: "Song Wu."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"Son of General Longhu, well, yes, your father taught you extremely well and trained you as a general for our court."

"Song Wu also doesn't dare to slack off."

One is a noble in his family, and the other is often in and out of the military camp. There is no need for the emperor to arrange a position. It is just that it is comforting for the emperor to see that the descendants of these people are so talented. They are all pillars of the imperial court.

The emperor looked at the tallest one standing at the end and said, "Your name is Baili Jimo?"

Xie Yunxiao bowed and said, "Yes."

"Who are you, Baili Fucheng?" There are very few people with the surname Baili. What's impressive is that there was once a man named Baili who was one of the three princes.

"Back to the emperor, he is the great ancestor of Cao Min." Xie Yunxiao replied calmly.

Several officials looked at the young man. Did the Baili family abandon literature and join the military?

The emperor smiled and said: "No wonder, this calligraphy looks familiar. When I was a child, I also copied Qinggong's calligraphy, but your calligraphy lacked the skills."

Xie Yunxiao bowed and said: "What the emperor said is that ordinary people are indeed not as good as our great ancestors."

The emperor looked at Xie Yunxiao, who looked a bit like a military general. His ambitions were already stated in the case file. He asked, "Do you want to join the army?"

Xie Yunxiao nodded and said: "My ambition is to join the army, but I don't want to enter the military camp casually. The purpose of the martial arts examination is to truly serve the country. It is best to be recommended by the emperor himself."

Several people looked at the young man, but he dared to say it.

The emperor got up and asked in interest, "Where do you want to go?"

Xie Yunxiao said: "The grassroots people had a wandering experience earlier, and happened to go to the Northland. The place was not desolate earlier. The people in the Northland were enthusiastic and asked me to have a drink. I was on the road without knowing the direction, and the people there gave me some advice. Where I live, it's just that not long after, the people there were displaced and had nowhere to stay. They didn't want to leave home, but they had to leave their hometown because of the unrest. At that time, the grassroots people were thinking, what can the grassroots people do, if they have the chance, The grassroots will give them a place to live."

He spoke calmly, but it made the emperor's blood boil. Why didn't he want to give the people of the North a stable place to live? Question: "When did you go to the Northland?"

Xie Yunxiao said: "It has been seven or eight years."

If Baili Chengan hears this, he will be furious to death. Aren't you going to have your brain blown? He doesn't remember anything.

The emperor thought for a moment and said: "There was indeed a war during that time. Many people in the north died, and I was heartbroken."

Xie Yunxiao said: "The common people don't have any big ambitions. Seeing the soldiers and generals who fought bloody battles convinced the common people of their aspirations. They study hard and train just for today."

"Okay! Well said!"
