happy rebirth

After Ye Zhengping left, Xie Jinhua couldn't help looking at Ke Qi with admiration.

It is said that beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but in fact, not only a beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but a hero is also in the eye of the beholder.Ke Qi cut his nails, and Xie Jinhua looked at him with admiration; Ke Qi moved his mouth and asked the chef to cook a new dish, and Xie Jinhua looked at him with admiration; Ke Qi could whistle, and Xie Jinhua looked at him with admiration Looking at him... And when Ke Qi showed his intelligence, Xie Jinhua looked at him with admiration.

This kind of worship really comes from the heart.

Obviously Xie Jinhua is a young talent in the eyes of others, he has always been admired by others, but he can always easily find bright spots in Ke Qi, and then make himself Ke Qi's little fan.In Xie Jinhua's heart, there is always a little fan who is circling excitedly.

Facing such enthusiastic eyes, Ke Qi suddenly flashed a slogan in his mind.

looking at me!Still looking at me!Why are you looking at me all the time!

See me again?Look at me again and I'll drink you up!

Xie Jinhua seemed to have sensed some kind of danger, subconsciously dodged to the side, then pushed a few books on the table in Ke Qi's direction, and said, "Brother Ke, should you read the books?" There are several township exams, and Ke Qi can't relax in the slightest yet.

Ke Qi deliberately teased Xie Jinhua, saying: "If you can kiss me, I will definitely be more efficient when reading."

"Hush!" Xie Jinhua hurriedly got up and covered Ke Qi's mouth.In a panic, he put away all the books on the table, put them one by one into the bookshelf, and carefully covered them with the dustproof cloth. Then he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "These are the books of sages...you should What are you talking about in their faces!"

Probably because Ke Qi is in the critical period of the exam, Xie Jinhua has been a little...too superstitious these two days.All things have spirits, and there are gods above their heads. If they don't respect the sage books now, what should they do if Ke Qi makes some mistakes in the exam?

Ke Qi twitched the corners of his mouth, pretending to be panicked and said, "But, I've already said it."

Xie Jinhua quickly comforted him and said, "It's okay, as long as you are sincere, the book of sages will not blame you."

"Since we have to be sincere...then, in front of the sage book, shouldn't we...can't lie?" Ke Qi asked.

Xie Jinhua nodded.

A hint of cunning flashed in Ke Qi's eyes, and he said, "Since you can't lie, then for me to be more efficient in the future, you should really take the initiative to kiss me. Otherwise, what I just said would be a lie Is it?" Ke Qi deliberately raised his chin, pretending to be at his disposal.

Xie Jinhua once again covered Ke Qi's mouth with his hand.Ke Qi took the opportunity to kiss Xie Jinhua's palm.

"If I'm not efficient in reading next, it must be because..." Ke Qi said pretending to be wronged.

Of course Xie Jinhua knew that Ke Qi was faking it!He pretended to be such a little daughter-in-law on purpose!Because it didn't match Ke Qi's own temperament, Ke Qi didn't pretend to be very good. This pretended aggrieved appearance couldn't make people feel pity at all, it would only make people think that his appearance was so funny.

Xie Jinhua didn't dare to let Ke Qi's character continue to collapse, so he quickly pecked Ke Qi's forehead.

Fearing that Ke Qi would make an inch, Xie Jinhua quickly changed the subject and said: "The person who yelled those words outside the examination room that day, I later ordered someone to find him. He was not a scholar, but a gangster. He only said, Someone gave him ten taels of silver to do this kind of thing."

"I guessed it a long time ago." Ke Qi said.

Those words were deliberately said to Ke Qi, just to disturb his mind.Under the circumstances at that time, there were so many candidates, their parents, and friends standing outside the examination room. If Ke Qi didn't respond in time, what the bastard said might attract the approval of some people, and the whole public opinion environment would be against Ke Qi. Qi is not good.If Ke Qi performed abnormally because of this, his imperial examinations would be ruined by ten taels of silver.

"You guessed it?"

"A lot of people are waiting for the crown prince to be abolished, so they can profit from it. In the end, the emperor suddenly wanted to summon famous doctors from all over the world, and these people's calculations came to nothing. Do you think they can feel happy?" Ke Qi said with a smile , "They are unhappy, so naturally they will find a way to trouble me."

That day in the Immortal Tower, the emperor had guards and important ministers around him, and the emperor did not issue a ban, so what Ke Qi said should have been spread.People with channels know Ke Qi's role in this matter. They dare not face the emperor, and they dare not face Ke Qi?

"Then aren't you in danger?" Xie Jinhua was extremely nervous.

Ke Qi shook his head and said, "I'm not in any danger. In this special period, they only dare to use small means to deal with me. Just like this time, if my emotions are affected and I don't perform well in the exam, Therefore, if I failed the provincial examination, it meant that I was incompetent and deserved to be tricked. But they dare not directly bribe the examiner to deal with me. Because if they did that, they would have exposed themselves.”

Who are the people who dislike Ke Qi now?

It's the people on the boat of Prince Rong, the fourth prince, the fifth prince and others.In short, anyone who stares at the crown prince will find Ke Qi disliked.The enemy is very powerful, but Ke Qi is not an ordinary student. Behind him is the Qingyang Hou Mansion and Xie Liuyuan.He even registered with the emperor.If Ke Qi's own mentality was bad, then neither the Qingyang Hou Mansion nor the emperor had anything to say about it.But if Ke Qi was severely suppressed, the Qingyang Hou Mansion would definitely not let it go. Once the incident was brought to the emperor, what if the emperor felt that the people who were going to deal with Ke Qi were hoping that the prince would never get better?Then, they have to bear the anger from the emperor.

For the sake of being the crown prince, who dares to shoot himself in the foot at this time?

Not only did these forces dare not, but they also stared at each other. If anyone couldn't bear it and really made a move against Ke Qi, in fact, they didn't need the Qingyang Hou Mansion to stand up for him, and the other parties would go to the emperor to add fuel and make a report.They are indeed waiting to abolish the prince, but they also want to suppress their opponents.

Therefore, Ke Qi is actually safe.It's just that he occasionally encounters a fly or two.

Xie Jinhua breathed a sigh of relief.But not long after, his brows frowned again, and he said, "I hope that the emperor will remember you when you are appointed next year." If the emperor doesn't remember Ke Qi, and Ke Qi will be awarded an official through normal channels, maybe at that time I'm going to hit those people's hands.Prince Rong has been in the court for many years, and the mothers and concubines of the other princes also have their own influences. It is very easy for someone to make some troubles for a new official.

The old fritters in the officialdom have a lot of skills to make the newcomers suffer.Even if it gets out, it will only make people think that the newcomer is incapable.

Ke Qi lightly touched Xie Jinhua's head, and said, "Why are you frowning! The boat will be straight when it reaches the bridge. I haven't even finished the provincial examination yet. I still have to go through the general examination, palace examination, and imperial examination to be able to pass the exam." Commissioned. Who knows what will happen in the next few months."

Xie Jinhua didn't expect Ke Qi to attack suddenly, and subconsciously covered his forehead, looking like he was easy to bully.

Ke Qi smiled and said: "What's more, as long as you are here, how can the emperor forget me?"

Xie Jinhua shook his head: "The emperor can remember you, not because of me."

"How could it not be because of you?" Ke Qi said earnestly, "It is said that the emperor named you the number one scholar in the palace that day, and I was curious in my heart. I heard that the number one scholar has a family. I won the heart of the number one scholar. The emperor thought about it and thought about it, scratching his heart..."

Xie Jinhua was listening carefully at first, but seeing that Ke Qi's words became more and more unreliable, he wished he could cover the ears of those sage books.

Ah, the sage books have no ears.

The husband and wife were arguing, and a young man outside the study came to pass the news that the Mid-Autumn Festival gift from the uncle had arrived.

Xie Chunying has not been back home since she was released, but she has never missed the New Year's ceremony or festival.The Mid-Autumn Festival should have arrived long ago, but it is said that the bad weather on the road and the riots caused by water bandits delayed it until now.Xie Jinhua and Ke Qi hurriedly packed their clothes and walked towards the hall.

Lord Hou was sitting in the hall, listening to the steward who brought the gift talk about the eldest son's appointment.

Xie Er is not here at the moment because he has something to do outside.Xie San arrived a little earlier than Xie Jinhua and Ke Qi.

I don't know if Xie Chunying had specifically ordered it, but the manager only reported good news and not bad news. First, he said that everything was going well with Xie Chunying, and then he said that Xie Chunying cared about his family and hoped that Lord Hou would be healthy and so on.Xie Jinhua listened carefully, wishing to hear each word as two.

According to the wishes of the eldest son, Hou Ye asked his servants to divide the ceremony and send it to each courtyard.

Xie San said with great anticipation: "I don't know if big brother can come back this year to celebrate the New Year..."

"Will you wait for your elder brother to come back and beat you?" Hou Ye asked unceremoniously, "Your mother has been unhappy in her heart, always saying that you are not filial to her." The only thing that can make Mrs. Zhang unhappy is Yu Zhenrou. There is no pregnancy yet.Mrs. Zhang was anxious, so she wanted to put a concubine in Xie San's house.

Xie San shrugged his shoulders and said nothing.

"Your mother is right, you are afraid of your daughter-in-law." Hou Ye said.There was actually a bit of a joke in what he said.

Xie San said unconvinced: "Why am I afraid of my wife? Usually, if my wife says one thing about me, I dare to reply ten! That being said, my wife is very sensible and rarely talks about me on weekdays. She treats me well. It's too late!" Yu Zhenrou didn't even bother to say Xie San for a problem that could be solved by squatting.

Xie Jinhua looked at Xie San enviously.Say one sentence, reply ten sentences, the third brother is really capable!Like him, he will never be able to say no to Ke Qi.

However, Ke Qi's fluffy words exposed Xie San: "It's all in my heart, right? Third brother, you must not dare to say it out loud."

Xie Sansi's mouth was stiff, and he said: "What's the matter if you say it in your heart? My move is called using softness to overcome strength, and I am invincible!"

Lord Hou: "..."

Ke Qi: "..."

Xie Jinhua: "..."
