"Xi'er, I went from being a child to being a juror step by step, all relying on my true talents and learning, and my mentor taught me, you know this. This time I was the first and third in high school. Take the exam again in a fair way, and I dare to say that I can still win again! However, looking at the current situation, the candidates who landed often gather together to scold the courtiers and the king of Liang, and the resentment is getting stronger, even the emperor scolded together. If it is not stopped as soon as possible It is impossible to say that he will do something irreversible on the spur of the moment. In the past few days, he has been clamoring to go to Jingzhao Mansion to beat drums and complain. When the matter becomes big, it will be difficult to end it. If the emperor is furious, he is afraid that blood will flow like a river. It was too tragic to cause a tragedy..."

Lin Xi lowered her eyes and drank her tea slowly.

Going around and talking so much is just for fear that the cooked duck will fly away, and this glorious Jinshi will come to naught.

This character really hasn't changed at all, he can always say a lot of high-sounding words, but in the end it's just for himself.

Thinking of this, Lin Xi put down his teacup, smiled lightly and said, "Since senior brother speaks with strength, why are you in a hurry? Xi Daixiao doesn't pay much attention to government affairs, and he is busy taking care of Zhao Shizi's health these days, let alone knowing what's going on outside. Whatever happens, just follow the imperial court’s order. Now that the senior brother is already in high school, he can happily prepare for the palace examination, and if he is lucky enough to go further, Xi will book a banquet at Fenglaiju to celebrate the senior brother.”

Pei Xuan liked Lin Xi's calm and transparent temperament before, but now he hates it.He stood up and took a few steps back and forth in the room.

"Xi'er understands, but others don't. To be honest, I have been quite sad these few days as a brother. There are rumors that I am a guest of His Royal Highness Liang Wang, but since the teacher's accident, I have closed the door to study. I have never had any contact with him. It is really wronged."

Pei Xuan let out a long sigh.

Wrong what?At the beginning, he licked his face and acted as the running dog of the King of Liang, but later he was useless, and he was probably kicked away.

In the end, Lin Xi couldn't suppress the sarcasm that she blurted out, "I can't live with my own crimes."

His eyes were dark and his expression was cold.

Pei Xuan was shocked, his face tensed.

Lin Xi looked up at him and sneered, "Brother, did you ever think that today, if you behaved rightly and sat still, why would you be afraid of these rumors! No, it's not a rumor, it's a fact. How did father be forced to death step by step? , and what kind of role do you play in it? If it is widely advertised, brother, do you think that the lukewarm alienation and indifference of a few scholars to you is enough? No, your official career has come to an end! Dad sometimes Pedantic, but his words are never wrong. If one's own conduct is not good, how can one act with confidence! The officialdom is bloody, and a stain can be hidden for a while, but it can't be hidden for a lifetime. Those Huaizhou officials who escaped the knife thought that Is this the end? Ridiculous, one day, they will get the same end!"

Seeing the stern Lin Xi, Pei Xuan slowly relaxed his body after a while, and said with a wry smile: "Xi'er finally said it, in your heart, I'm afraid you can't wait to cut my senior brother into pieces. "

Lin Xi raised her eyebrows, "Shouldn't it be?"

"Yes, Xi'er should blame me and hate me. After the teacher left, I made up my mind that if you beat me, scolded me or even killed me, I would be willing. But you never said a word to me from the beginning to the end, even if it was Changting to see you off. You are just alienated, I knew you hated me very much. Xi'er, every time you think of the teacher, you don't know that I have remorse, wishing to kill myself to apologize, so as to overcome the daily suffering. But I always can't do it Go, say that I am greedy for life and afraid of death, but I still have unfulfilled ambitions, and my teacher's ideals have not been realized. I want to follow his path. I know it will be very difficult, but I hope that it has never been so strong I sincerely hope that the teacher will guide me ahead..."

Pei Xuan suddenly burst into tears as if he had been pulled away from the support, and murmured softly.

"I'm sorry for the teacher, I'm sorry for you..."

To put it bluntly, he was only a 21-year-old young man. Lin Qing's death brought him not only regret but also a lifetime of guilt. After five years of teaching him like a father and a teacher, he was caring and considerate. He is also more friendly than dignified towards the students.Pei Xuan was not born with a hard heart, and during that time he was also struggling with conflicts and torturing himself day by day.

Following Pei Xuan's tears, the longing that was buried deep in his heart also emerged like a spring, Lin Xi raised her head and gritted her teeth to hold back the tears.

Thinking back how much he liked this senior brother at the beginning, even though he was not his own elder brother, he still treated him that way. It would be a happy thing to think that he would have someone to rely on as a sick child in the future.Unexpectedly, it was Pei Xuan who pushed the Lin family into the abyss.

Lin Xi turned around, eyes red, "It's useless to say anything now, Mr. Pei, you didn't come here today to repent, did you?"

Pei Xuan wiped his eyes, and said in a low voice: "Xi'er must have a better route in Beijing than me, can you inquire for Brother Wei, how the court plans to deal with this matter, the apricot list has been revealed, but the date of the imperial examination is still undecided, I know it's too early to inquire after two days, but we'll see if there will be two days on the day of the palace examination."

Seeing that Lin Xi was silent in thought, he said: "Brother, you are the only relative now, if it's difficult for the younger brother, then it's fine, I'll just wait anyway."

Speaking of this, Pei Xuan returned to the old master Pianpian, looked at Lin Xi with a gentle expression and said: "This time, I saw that my junior brother looks a little tired, but he is in good spirits. It can be seen that there is no serious health problem, so I can rest assured. I have also heard a thing or two about Mr. Zhao, and I am very happy for my brother to have this ability, but after all, my brother is not a doctor and his mind is limited, so we must not be too forceful."

Exhorting and exhorting as in the past, Lin Xi looked at Pei Xuan, and his concern for him was not fake.

The only relative...

When Zhao Yuanrong woke up, he found that Mr. Lin was nowhere to be seen, so he immediately called for someone, put on his clothes under the service of the maid, and then went out to look for him with his head held high and chest out.

"Uncle."

Hearing the rhythmic thud thud thump of small steps, Lin Xi's dazed face showed helpless pampering.

When Pei Xuan heard this title, he was stunned for a moment, and then he stood up and saluted when he realized it, "Your Excellency."

Zhao Yuanrong didn't even look at him, he trotted up to Lin Xi, hugged him, raised his smiling face, "Why didn't my cousin call Rong'er when he woke up? We agreed to share weal and woe, eat and sleep together, and sleep together... ...in and out at the same time..."

"..." Sharing weal and woe has already been said, but when did it happen that we ate and slept together, went in and out together?

Don't be as shameless as your father, how about you?

Lin Xi patted Zhao Yuanrong's head, quite helpless, turned around and saw Pei Xuan looking at him in surprise, feeling a little embarrassed, and said: "Brother, please go back first, I remember this matter."

Only then did Zhao Yuanrong notice Pei Xuan's existence. After sizing it up, he carefully looked at Lin Xi's expression, so he felt relieved.

The words could no longer be continued, Pei Xuan vaguely felt that Prince Rui's son didn't want to see him, so he bowed his hands and said goodbye.

Lin Xi sent it to the gate of the courtyard.

Pei Xuan turned around and looked at Lin Xi's back and the child clinging to him, with a pensive expression on his face.

The steward of the palace smiled and signaled to him, "Mr. Pei, please."

Pei Xuan came back to his senses and apologized slightly, "I haven't seen my junior brother for many days, and I feel relieved when I see him well. Junior brother is still young, so I'm afraid that there will be collisions in the palace."

The steward smiled and said, "Young master Lin is a distinguished guest, don't worry, young master."

So Pei Xuan stopped talking and left with the steward.

Looking back at the majestic gate, I had mixed feelings for a moment, for such a mere person like him, he was no doubt with the common people in this capital, and when the wind and waves came, he was submerged and no one noticed.

Thinking of Lin Xi's hateful words and complaints, he laughed at himself, it was his own fault, and suddenly felt a little disheartened.

He was about to leave, but he saw the horses tied by the gate, his eyes fell on the waiting attendants, and he asked casually, "Is there any distinguished guest in the house?"

Seeing that he was sent out politely by the steward, the porter replied, "This is His Royal Highness Liang's carriage."

King Liang.

Pei Xuan's eyes dimmed, and his expression was vague.

"Thank you."

The conversation between Liang Wang and Zhao Jingyi is coming to an end.

"Jingyi, all the civil and military officials in the Manchu Dynasty thought it was for the sake of their brother's selfishness, but my father is in his prime, so why should I do such a thing of self-destruction of the Great Wall? My father is furious, and I have nothing to say, only you Quiet, I'm really sorry to disturb you today."

"Brother Wang, you are welcome." Zhao Jingyi got up to see Liang Wang off, then turned to Eunuch Cao, "Rong'er is awake, let him come and see Uncle."

Eunuch Cao replied: "The prince is still on his lunch break...how about this old servant wake him up?"

However, before Zhao Jingyi could speak, King Liang waved his hand and said, "Don't, I heard that there was a big fight yesterday, so I should let the child have a good rest. Don't wake him up, there are only a few steps between you and my house, we can see you anytime, wait for Rong Get better."

"Thank you, Brother Wang, for your understanding, please."

"You are welcome, family."

The two of them left the main courtyard together, and after walking a few steps, suddenly Liang Wang suggested: "You will go to the northern region in a few days, if you are worried, why not put Rong'er in my house, your sister-in-law is fine on weekdays , just to take care of him for you, and besides, Zhen'er is as old as him, so he must be able to play."

Zhao Jingyi looked at the smiling King Liang, and sneered in his heart. This is all troublesome, and he was calling for his attention.

"Brother Wang's sister-in-law kindly accepts my younger brother's heart, but Rong'er is coquettish and admits birth. Apart from the mansion, only Yongning Houfu is willing to stay longer, even if the emperor's grandmother sends someone to pick him up into the palace, he will not go, so I have already entrusted him to Yongning. Mrs. Hou is gone."

Marquis Yongning is from a foreign family, so it is naturally different, so Liang Wang didn't say anything more.

After Zhao Jingyi sent King Liang out of the mansion politely, his expression turned cold immediately.

The cousin didn't want to appease the scholar's grievances and investigate the reason, but ran to him first to cry and complain about his grievances, pointing to others to frame him.

Besides another prince, who else could frame this recognized prince?

Besides, is this imperial examination fraud really as innocent as he said?Anyway, it's just a game between these two.

Thinking about it, Zhao Jingyi felt disappointed.

Chun Wei is the most important and direct part of selecting the pillars of the country. These two people don't think about how to screen out useful talents for the country, but they try their best to place people on it, frame each other, disappoint the students all over the world, and make Chun Wei mediocre and mess up. It's a miasma, and it really tends to be low.

This is still at the feet of the emperor, one can imagine what it will be like in a place where the sky is high and the emperor is far away.

Eunuch Cao looked at Zhao Jingyi whose complexion was getting darker and darker, and couldn't help but whispered, "My lord, Young Master Lin and His Royal Highness have woken up, do you want to go and have a look?"

Yes, the talk was endless, which made him miss the opportunity to have lunch with his son and Lin Xi, and to go to bed together... Forget it, watching them go to bed is really a waste of time.

Seeing Zhao Jingyi's annoyed expression, Eunuch Cao continued, "Mr. Lin seems to be in a bad mood after seeing his senior brother."

Zhao Jingyi walked slowly, glanced at Eunuch Cao, and asked casually, "What did you say?"

"The servants stay far away, but when Mr. Lin left the house, his eyes looked a little red."

Zhao Jingyi was a little surprised, thinking about what happened to Lin Xi, but the unhappiness brought about by King Liang had been forgotten by him, "Is there any news from Huaizhou?"

Eunuch Cao moved closer to Zhao Jingyi and whispered a few times in Zhao Jingyi's ear.

Zhao Jingyi frowned, "Explore again, be more careful."

Eunuch Cao nodded again and again, smiling like a blooming dragon claw chrysanthemum.
