life in a hurry

The emperor seemed to be very interested. Not only did he invite the top three as usual, but he also invited other people who had passed the palace examination, and even invited all civil and military officials, the emperor's relatives, and the palace was very lively.

Zheng Wenqi changed into twenty new clothes before going out, and now seeing the princess from a distance, his heart jumped up, his face turned red, and he pushed away the medicine that Wangcai silently handed over with his backhand, and whispered Scold him: "Are you stupid? I'm not sick. Stay away from me. Did you do it on purpose?"

Wangcai took the medicine back silently, and took two steps back.

The princess accompanied a group of female relatives to a banquet in the Huxin Pavilion. Seeing the maid winking, she looked over and saw Zheng Wenqi staring at Wangcai from a distance, and she didn't know what she was talking about, like a series of firecrackers.

Zheng Wenqi was really very long-winded, with so many words, few of them were useful to listen to.thought the princess.

"Who is Ting'er looking at?" A married princess asked with a smile.She was born to other concubines of the first emperor, and was much older than the emperor.

Princess Ting hurriedly said: "I heard a voice over there, so I took a curious look, Brother Huang is over there."

The female relatives looked at each other for a few times, and they all smiled tacitly: "I'm afraid it's not about the emperor, but about the young master over there."

"..."

Why do I have to look at a wooden stake?

Princess Ting said: "No."

"But it's him you see." A little girl said crisply, "He's standing there."

Princess Ting looked over, and sure enough, Chen Feiqing was beside Zheng Wenqi, smiling and talking about something, probably teasing Zheng Wenqi again.

She was too lazy to look at Chen Feiqing, and lowered her head to drink tea, but she couldn't help but take advantage of the fact that everyone was not paying attention, and secretly looked around Chen Feiqing, maybe she could take a look at other people.

After entering the palace, Fu Nansheng did not stay with Chen Feiqing, but stayed by Pei Chengyuan's side, and soon met Qin Zhengwen.

Qin Zhengwen didn't know why he came here, it was very sunny today, the Imperial Academy was drying books, and when he left, there were old people moving books up and down.

However, the emperor said that many young talents came today, so he had to be called.

Every time the young talents are the same people, there is nothing to see.

Qin Zhengwen had to sit and eat alone, which was probably the only fun.

However, Dongfang only took two bites, and Pei Chengyuan came again, beamingly cupped his hands and said: "Master Qin, thank you very much, I heard that when you checked the papers, you defied the crowd and decided me to be the first. Had a serious illness, heard the news that the illness disappeared."

Qin Zhengwen didn't want to see him, especially his smug face at the moment.

Pei Chengyuan grabbed Fu Nansheng's hand beside him, and said earnestly: "I heard that I was going to choose the first place in the examination papers that asked Qi and Mr. Fu, but unexpectedly, Mr. Qin pulled out my paper and threw it on the table. The other presiding judges were all terrified."

Fu Nansheng took out his hand with a smile: "Master Pei is joking."

He was not annoyed at all, on the contrary, he wanted to sit down and drink melon seeds to make a pot of tea and watch Pei Chengyuan sing.

Pei Chengyuan said: "I'm not kidding, I'm not being humble, and I shouldn't be so rude, but to be appreciated and valued by Mr. Qin, I'm so happy that I almost don't remember my last name. Even after a hundred years, I have to engrave this matter on my own inscription and leave it for future generations to praise."

Fu Nansheng sat at the table next to Qin Zhengwen, took an orange and peeled it, and thought to himself with a smile, I am afraid that you will have to wait a hundred years to engrave the inscription, and you will not be able to enter the Qin family's door anyway if you are alive.

Qin Zhengwen said expressionlessly: "I didn't do that, I just filed a review according to the rules. As the chief examiner, this is my duty and has nothing to do with anyone or anything."

While he was talking, Pei Chengyuan nodded along with his approval. He seemed obedient, but in fact he made people angry.

Qin Zhengwen suppressed his anger, lowered his head and continued eating pastries.

However, Pei Chengyuan didn't understand etiquette and politeness at all, and sat down next to Qin Zhengwen, and asked with a smile: "Master Qin has a photographic memory, and he must still keep the words below in his heart, why don't you make some comments?"

Qin Zhengwen couldn't bear it anymore, and asked, "Why are you taking the test?"

Pei Chengyuan smiled and said: "To win Mr. Fu. Hey, Mr. Fu, don't be angry, I just said this to Mr. Qin."

Fu Nansheng ate a piece of orange with a smile, and waved his hand to ask him to help himself.

Qin Zhengwen said coldly: "Arrogance."

Pei Chengyuan looked at him with his chin on his side: "How can I not be arrogant to be appreciated by Mr. Qin? I can even fly. Hey, Mr. Qin, don't go, sit down and talk about business, that rabbit was very nice last time." Eat, I still want to buy, from now on all your rabbits will be sent to the guild hall, and I will take them all."

Qin Zhengwen said very seriously: "The testers from all over the country will leave Beijing at that time, and there will not be so much to eat in the guild hall."

Pei Chengyuan said: "I make it into wax as a gift, and I have many relatives."

Qin Zhengwen glanced at him.

Pei Chengyuan hurriedly said: "If you don't do business, it seems deliberate, Mr. Qin."

Qin Zhengwen said: "If you want to send it to the guild hall, you will be charged [-] Wen each time."

Pei Chengyuan said: "This is not right, last time it was ten coins, you sit on the ground and raise the price?"

Qin Zhengwen said: "It was only one street away from the guild hall last time, and my house is two streets away from the guild hall."

Pei Chengyuan said: "Then don't give it away, I'll get it at your house."

Qin Zhengwen said: "I won't sell it anymore."

Pei Chengyuan patted him on the shoulder, and said earnestly: "Master Qin, you will not be able to make a fortune by doing business like this."

Without squinting, Qin Zhengwen slowly shrugged his shoulders, trying to shake off his hand.

Pei Chengyuan withdrew his hand knowingly, but said again: "Master Qin, I suddenly thought that I must have eaten too much of your rabbits, so the article I wrote is particularly in line with your wishes, what do you think?"

Qin Zhengwen felt that a stone should fall from the sky and hit him on the head.

Fu Nansheng listened to Pei Chengyuan teasing Qin Zhengwen for a while, smiled, looked down and saw that he had already peeled a small plate of melon seeds, and couldn't help but startled.He often peels melon seeds, but eats very little. Most of them are used to show off to others, and it has become a habit.Goer used this matter to laugh at him as a natural scumbag.

Fu Nansheng felt sick when he thought of Go'er, so he grabbed the melon seeds and put them in his mouth to chew.

He was chewing melon seeds silently, when he suddenly saw a man who looked like a rich young master passing in front of him, he seemed to be in a hurry to find someone, and he didn't know that the jade pendant around his waist had fallen off.

Fu Nansheng called out to the man in a low voice, but the man didn't hear him, and ran further and further away.After all, Fu Nansheng didn't want to make a noise outside and lose face. Turning around, he saw Qin Zhengwen listening to Pei Chengyuan with a serious face for some reason. He didn't want to disturb him, so he got up and went out, picked up the jade pendant and followed the man: "This Young master, your jade pendant has fallen."

The man was talking with someone, but Fu Nansheng patted him on the shoulder, and turned around in surprise: "Oh, thank you...what did you call me?"

Fu Nansheng explained embarrassedly: "I..."

"It's nothing, I haven't seen you before." The man interrupted him and said with a smile, "I'm Duke Huai, I came to the capital about ten years ago."

Fu Nansheng smiled and said, "I'm sorry."

Duke Huai was young, so he was willing to meet some people, so he asked, "What's your name?"

Fu Nansheng said: "I am Fu Nansheng."

Duke Huai was startled, and looked at him again: "You are Fu Nansheng?"

Fu Nansheng couldn't understand the depth of his words, so he smiled.

"It's rare for me to enter the palace once, so I'll talk to my acquaintances first, and if I have a chance, I'll treat you to dinner and thank you." Huai Dynasty, he raised the jade pendant in his hand, then turned around and continued talking with the previous person.

This time, Fu Nansheng could see the depth, and he was not too annoyed. He went back to his seat and continued to eat melon seeds.

Not long after, a father-in-law came to remind everyone that the emperor was coming soon.Everyone hurried back to their seats, Zheng Wenqi argued in front of Pei Chengyuan: "This is my seat."

Pei Chengyuan said: "I came first, Master Qin, what do you think?"

Zheng asked, "I came here before you, but I just went out for a while, Master Qin can testify."

Of course Qin Zhengwen can testify that it was indeed Zheng Wenqi who sat next to him about half an hour ago, and chattered endlessly as soon as he sat down.

Qin Zhengwen stood up and said, "Please sit down, both of you."

He sat on the empty seat beside Fu Nansheng.

Fu Nansheng couldn't help laughing, and pushed the half-dish of melon seeds to Qin Zhengwen.

Qin Zhengwen took a look and said, "If you don't eat, you will get angry."

Fu Nansheng laughed even happier, and said in a low voice, "No wonder Master Pei likes to tease you."

Qin Zhengwen gave him a displeased look.

Fu Nansheng hurriedly turned his head to pretend not to look sideways, but he saw that the jade pendant was missing when King Huai came back from the outside just now.He just glanced at it casually, didn't take it seriously, lowered his head and continued to eat.

The emperor came over soon, said some usual words casually, and made everyone lively without being formal.

Fu Nansheng intended to chat with the people around him, but encountered soft nails one after another. Just like the previous King Huai, everyone laughed and found excuses to go elsewhere. Naturally, Fu Nansheng could not chase after him.If it was for cheating money and profit in the past, Fu Nansheng would be able to hold back his face, but when he thinks that he is a prostitute now, he has inexplicably more dignity, and he is very unwilling to do that again.

This is indeed very strange, why didn't he know that he was so shameless before.Fu Nansheng laughed secretly to himself.

He looked at Qin Zhengwen who had been eating beside him: "Is this always the case when Brother Qin goes to banquets?"

Qin Zhengwen looked at him and said, "If you don't finish eating, most of the food will be thrown away, which is very wasteful."

Fu Nansheng smiled and said, "I didn't mean that..."

Qin Zhengwen frowned: "Then what did you say?"

Fu Nansheng said: "I have a rather offensive question, I don't know whether I should ask it or not."

"Ask if you want to ask, don't ask if you don't want to."

"Then don't ask."

Fu Nansheng continued to eat with Qin Zhengwen, and occasionally glanced at the emperor and Chen Feiqing.

Chen Feiqing always had a great face, he sat in the seat closest to the emperor, and was called to sit with the emperor not long after, and accompanied the emperor to greet others.

If you eat too much, you will be thirsty, if you are thirsty, you will drink fruit wine, if you drink too much fruit wine, you will need to urinate.Fu Nansheng asked the little eunuch to take him there for convenience, but when he came out, he heard the eunuch and another little eunuch chatting by the small bamboo forest.

"You've made money, this jade pendant looks very valuable."

"Of course, it's more than that. I just asked someone to look it over for me. Maybe my parents can buy a big house with a maid in the capital."

"Don't steal it."

"Bah, you bastard. You said it was given to me by Duke Huai."

"I don't think it's a good thing to give you this for no reason. You should think about it before taking it. It's hot."

"I'm afraid too. I'm afraid that he will ask me to do bad things for him, but he said throwing it away is throwing it away. I happened to be here, so I gave it to me."

"Why did he throw it?"

"Don't touch it... I don't know, but he said so, I don't think he is a fool."

"That's true. You put it away, don't let people find out, so you don't have to say it."

"I see. Not much to say, hurry back and serve—ah!"

"Master Fu!"

Fu Nansheng had been standing behind the two of them holding his breath for a long time, now he smiled and said kindly: "I'm sorry, but I scared you when I walked quietly. If you have other things, don't worry about me, I remember to go back way."

The little eunuch hurriedly said: "There is nothing else, I will send you back."

The other little eunuch bowed obediently and saluted, the jade pendant in his hand had already been hidden.

Fu Nansheng could see clearly just now that he picked up the piece that was returned to Duke Huai.He knows better than these two eunuchs, that piece of jade pendant can buy a big house for a maid in the capital, that piece of jade pendant is probably worth a lot.
