Grind incense

Xie Yuan Gu Zhanqi lost his name to Sun Shan in the general examination.

Everyone in the capital was quite surprised, but everything was within my expectations. It seems that I probably ruined Gu Zhanqi's bright future.

In fact, I was also a little bit depressed. After all, after entering the examination room once, everyone would be a little emotional if I got a name. Looks a little gloomy on the face.

On the way back to the palace from the King's Palace, I felt that the people on the road looked at me cautiously.

I stopped halfway and went to a shop I frequented to weigh two catties of sweet-scented osmanthus sesame candy. After the store weighed the sweet-scented osmanthus sesame candy, wrapped it in thick paper, tied it with a string and handed it to me. Holding the two catties of sweet-scented osmanthus candies, I was about to take out the money to pay the bill, but the shopkeeper quickly stopped me and said, Mr. Gu, these two catties of candies are for you.

I raised my head and looked at the store, the proprietress was knocking melon seeds and smiling, she said to me, Mr. Gu, horses stumble, people fail, those examiners missed you because they didn’t have good eyesight.

With a bitter smile on my face, I said in a low voice, I actually failed the exam, I really can't blame the examiner for this...

The storekeeper interrupted me and said, Mr. Gu, you can't just fall down and never recover from a setback. The emperor will know your talent in the future.

I looked at the owner of the sesame candy shop in astonishment, then turned around and walked away silently.

Behind him came the chatter of the owner of the sesame candy shop and his wife.

They were talking about those old sayings when Gu Zhanqi rode a horse past their shop when he was a member of the middle school.

"That year when Mr. Gu met Yuan, he was wearing a sapphire blue satin dress with rose and purple borders, and he was riding on a white horse. All the girls and daughters-in-law in the capital were all crawling on the top of the city to look at him. That day, there happened to be The oiran from Luoyang came out to parade, but her limelight was all taken away by Mr. Gu." The lady proprietress of the sesame candy shop recalled, knocking on melon seeds.

"Yeah, I still remember that that day Mr. Gu's white horse stopped at the entrance of our shop, and he also weighed two catties of sesame candy in our shop, but gave us a tael of silver. Mr. Gu hasn't left yet, So many people rushed in and wanted to buy our sweet-scented osmanthus sesame candy, and on that day, our family listened to other people’s suggestions and changed the name of the sweet-scented osmanthus sesame candy to Toad Palace.” The owner of the sesame candy shop sighed Said.

Why!I didn't expect that the big ink blob I dripped on Gu Zhanqi's exam paper would hurt so many people's hearts.

When I returned to the Gu Mansion, the servants inside were very cautious, and no one dared to mention anything about the announcement of the exam in front of me.

This point of Gu Zhanqi’s family makes me a little envious. After I finished my exams before I was alive, the school would send my grades home, and my transcripts would be opened and read by the enthusiastic janitor in the mail room. The ghost's "bad performance" is sold to the acquaintances who come in and out, and then when the ghost enters and leaves the community, he will be pointed and pointed at for a long time in disgrace.

During dinner, Mrs. Gu and Mrs. Gu didn't mention Gu Zhanqi's failure at all, as if this incident never happened at all, which made me very envious. It's about three meals a day as a pre-meal dessert, and it's served to me every day.

This time I failed the exam and was not scolded. In fact, I was a little lonely in my heart. I still miss my mother a little bit in my heart.

On the second day, when I went to the King's Mansion, Song Yuansou was carrying a burden to get news about the King's Mansion.

Song Yuansou met me, thanked me, and said that he could not return the 20 taels of silver I gave him for the time being, and he wanted to keep it until next month to take part in the palace examination.

"Why don't you stay in the King's Mansion of Thailand? No matter how many people want to fawn on you, you won't be able to enter that place?" I asked curiously.

"When I got up this morning to go to the toilet, someone stuffed a letter of gold into my hand, saying that someone gave it to me in the name of His Royal Highness, and I immediately felt that the Royal Palace of Thailand could not stay any longer." Song Yuansou said with a frown .

"Oh, then you have accepted the crown prince's gold, and you plan to start a business, so you have to clear your relationship with the King of Thailand." I smiled and said, looking at Song Yuansou's sallow face.

"No! I returned the crown prince's gold intact. I don't want to get involved in this troubled water." Song Yuansou said.

"The current Manchu Dynasty is either the Communist Party or the Royal Thai Party. I'm afraid you can't tell the difference." I looked at Song Yuansou and shook my head.

"My father has been a teacher all his life. He said that those who sacrificed in the end of party disputes are often those who hold their thighs, but their thighs are always good, because people always rely on their thighs when walking. In fact, I am I envy Brother Gu's plan of retiring. You have a father who is the grand tutor. At that time, the overall situation in the court will be clear. If Brother Gu seeks to make progress, it will be the most stable. Unfortunately, I can't do your way. I only have one living in the aunt's nunnery. Mother." Song Yuansou also smiled at me and said in a low voice.

"After that, come to me if you need any money." I said and stuffed the bag of broken silver I was carrying into Song Yuansou's bag.

For the next ten days, I went back and forth between King Tai's mansion and Gu's mansion every day, and sometimes before going back to the mansion, I would take some free time to go to Mei Xiaochen's place, and have a good time with him.

Every time Mei Xiaochen heard the porter's report, "Master Gu is here", Mei Xiaochen would stand on the porch and hold a lamp to greet me in person.

I followed Mei Xiaochen into the room, he hung the lantern on the head of the bed, and began to untie my belt restlessly from behind with both hands.

I turned around and wanted to kiss Mei Xiaochen, but unexpectedly his lips pressed mine first.

Mei Xiaochen tossed and turned under me, looked at me with blurred eyes, and kept yelling, "Zhu Yi, hurry up!".

Mei Xiaochen's "Zhuyi" call made me feel a little cold, I gathered up a surge of anger, and thrust my lower body forward fiercely, and then Mei Xiaochen's painful cry came from my ear.

I put on neat clothes, and looked back at Mei Xiaochen, Mei Xiaochen was wearing a belt with her head down, her snow-white neck showed bruises from my nibbling.

I felt a little unbearable suddenly in my heart, walked to Mei Xiaochen's bed and hugged him, Mei Xiaochen's body was stiff, I felt a little cold on my shoulders, when I let him go, I found that Mei Xiaochen's eyes were a little bit redness.

"I'm sorry, I'm not your Zhuyi, and I won't come again in the future!" My voice was a little sad.

The evening wind on the road was a bit cool, and I sneezed hard twice when I walked back to the house.

When Yanxi saw me, he handed over an invitation card and said, Mr. Jingzhao Yinsong invites you to catch up on the old days tomorrow.

"Who is Mr. Song, Yanxi, I seem to be suffering from another illness." I held my head and asked Yanxi for help.

"It's Mr. Song Yuansou that we rescued on the street that day. He was just named the No. [-] scholar." Yanxi reminded.

I probably didn’t cover myself with the quilt when I slept at night, and I woke up with a bit of fever in the morning, so I went to the Tai Palace to ask for leave because of Yan Xi, thinking about going to Song Yuansou’s place to relax.

When I went, Song Yuansou was trying a case against a woman in her 40s, and she sued her daughter-in-law.

"My lord, the woman sued her daughter-in-law Zhang Liang for not abiding by women's morals. My son died less than three months ago, and this bitch committed adultery, and she is still pregnant with the evil seed of that adulterer!" Kneeling in the hall The middle-aged woman in blue cloth said with red eyes.

"My lord, I am wronged. The women have always abided by women's morals. The husband of the women passed away years ago, and the woman is pregnant with my husband's posthumous child." A young woman in filial piety was brought to the hall and wept.
