With the departure of the Northern Expeditionary Army, the imperial examination fraud case also came to an end.

Master Cai hanged himself unbearably humiliated and died, which left King Liang speechless for a moment. Every imperial examination is inherently tricky. It is just a piece of cake to make a mark during the exam to let the examiner improve his rank. There are a few candidates that King Liang is optimistic about. I just said hello, this kind of thing has always been tacitly for the convenience of you, me and him.

Don't you see that every time the scientific examination is completed, the pockets of the participating officials can be bulged.

But when it comes to buying questions and selling questions, this is really unfair to King Liang. The ranking on the list is too eye-catching. How could his own brother-in-law not know how much ink he has in his belly? has a problem.

After keeping a low profile for many years, King Liang would never make such a mistake, but so what if he thought about it?

Someone always needs someone to calm the anger and resentment of the students all over the world.

Originally, Master Cai was the best scapegoat, but the old man hanged a white silk from the beam to show his will, but luckily he survived and left a blood letter to be sent to the court.

The old minister for many years and the great Confucianism of the present age were drowned alive by spittle. If dirty water was poured on him again, Emperor Xia Jing would feel very sorry.

It's not unexpected that the King of Shu played a key role in it, but without clear evidence, the simpler the matter, the better.

So the emperor in the court was furious, and he dismissed Liang Wang from his post in the Ministry of Rites, fined him a salary for one year, and banned him for three months.The officials who participated together copied and let go, and the officials of courtesy were completely changed.

Then he ordered to post the imperial list, and all the results this time were invalidated, and the exam will be re-opened in one month.

But this time, Elder Bai Ge served as the chief examiner. The emperor personally drafted the examination questions, and the Yushitai supervised them, so there was no room for any leaks.

Of course, the students who participated in the cheating were directly deprived of their reference qualifications, and they stayed in front of the classroom for the rest of their lives.

Joyful Inn

Xia Shusheng knocked on Pei Xuan's door and saw Pei Xuan sitting at the desk writing something quietly, so he asked, "Why don't you take the exam? Although there were many rumors before, the court has confirmed that your grades are not You came here by cheating, and you have nothing to do with Liang Wang, and you can still pass the high school exam with your literary talent, so why rush back?"

After Pei Xuan finished writing the last word, he held up the paper and blew it lightly, then put it aside, raised his head and smiled lightly at Xia Shusheng: "It's not unrelated, the rumors are not wrong, I used to work for King Liang, It was only later that I realized how self-righteous I was at the beginning, and it was me who was talking about sitting in a well."

Then he laughed at himself, "Everything is just my own fault. Now that I think about it, even if I have a lot of trouble in my chest, but my heart is not tempered, I am self-righteous and eager for success. Even if I become an official in the future, it will only be a disaster. Why don't you slow down and learn to be a man first." .”

It seems that after going through high school joys, prison disasters, and everyone's indifference, under the ups and downs, now Pei Xuan is like a simple jade pendant, restraining his flamboyant and chaotic thoughts, and feeling much calmer and more open-minded for no reason.

Xia Shusheng said with emotion: "Brother Pei at this moment is more stable than before, making people trust and joy. I have nothing to say. I think it will be even more impressive to see you next time, but I don't know what will happen to you next time?" What's your plan?"

Speaking of this, Pei Xuan smiled slightly, "I decided to travel around in three years, mountains and fields, natural scenery, people's sufferings, joys, sorrows, and joys. Stand still."

Lanyuexuan's study

Zhao Yuanrong straightened his back, hung his arms, and wrote big characters stroke by stroke. This is the tenth sheet.

His arm gradually became sore, Zhao Yuanrong quietly turned his head to look at Lin Xi, only to see that his uncle was reading a letter and didn't notice him, so he secretly lowered his arm and wrote the last word with his wrist.

Before he breathed a sigh of relief, "One more." Lin Xi's faint voice came from behind.

Zhao Yuanrong's small face immediately collapsed, "Uncle..."

"What's wrong with the brave and strong son who is determined to be an upright man?" Lin Xi put down the letter and looked at Zhao Yuanrong with a half-smile.

Hearing this, Zhao Yuanrong could only sniff, and pick up his slumped face again, "It's okay." After saying that, he continued to raise his wrist to write.

Alas, after his father left, his life was difficult.

Lin Xi shook her head with a broken smile, her eyes fell on the letter, and she smiled silently.

That's fine, instead of hoping for Pei Xuan's misfortune, it's better to hope that he has a correct mind and can do something in the future.

Looking at the books that came with the letter again, I felt a little nervous. These are the exam books that Pei Xuan carefully organized for Lin Xi to read. Most of them are annotated with his experience. A knowledge of Jie Yuan will be of great benefit to him.

Lin Xi put away the letter, walked to Zhao Yuanrong's side, and looked down at his writing.

Children have great forgetfulness and weak persistence. The first few pictures are relatively correct, and then they are a bit perfunctory.

But this is not a big problem, just teach slowly.

Zhao Yuanrong looked back at Lin Xi with a smirk, Lin Xi tapped his head lightly and said, "Be serious, it's over after you finish writing this chapter, and you can rest afterward. Your albums are all stored in the painting tube."

Zhao Yuanrong rubbed his head and muttered, "My cousin hasn't drawn a new one for a long time." But he spread out a piece of rice paper, dipped a brush in the ink, and began to write.

A story is easy to think of, difficult to write, and even slower to draw. Zhao Yuanrong only needs a cup of tea to read Lin Xi's two-day comics. I need to review some books first, so Lin Xi has not started writing.

"Rong'er forgive me, I really don't have time recently."

Zhao Yuanrong began to moan and whine, his eyes rolled and he began to think crookedly, but with this thought together, the words began to look horrible under half-hearted.

A wrong hand made a mess of ink.

Well, don't think about resting now.

Lin Xi frowned and sighed inwardly.

Seeing that Zhao Yuanrong was no longer thinking about it, Lin Xi took his calligraphy and said seriously: "Now that it's finished, I'll order someone to frame it and hang it in the study in the afternoon. Let them see the master's masterpiece, what does Rong'er think?"

Lin Xi said it seriously, Zhao Yuanrong stared at the crooked black ink in his eyes, and quickly snatched it back, "This is not good, I can't even see this one clearly, how can I hang it up, it's not good!"

"Then pick a good one out of them, how about this, we will hang a pair of calligraphy that you think is the best on the wall every ten days, and line them up one by one. When the prince comes back in the future, he will see how glorious the calligraphy in the study is." The progress of the son is clear at a glance, and the prince must be very happy."

Lin Xi had just begun to teach Zhao Yuanrong how to learn calligraphy seriously, but gradually realized that although the elder son was smart, it was difficult for him to focus on things he was not interested in.Occasionally it's okay, but I can't stand it for half an hour every day, and you are the son of the world, so you can't reprimand at will.

After thinking about it, Lin Xi can only let him encourage himself. If he is a little aggressive, he will always finish it slowly.

As soon as Lin Xi finished speaking, Zhao Yuanrong began to choose the best one among the ten big characters he wrote, but he was not satisfied with this one, and neither was the other one, so he hesitated and chose one, and looked at it eagerly. Lin Xi.

"Do you really want to hang up?"

Lin Xi nodded and said with a smile: "Don't be afraid, you are still young, it's normal that your writing is not as good as ordinary people's. At your age, my cousin's writing is not as good as yours."

These words are naturally to deceive the innocent prince.

"Then this one?" Lin Xi asked.

Zhao Yuanrong hesitated for a moment and nodded, Lin Xi reached out to take it, and called Ji Xiang in, "Go and find Gu Hai."

"Yes." Ji Xiang bowed and left.

Zhao Yuanrong looked at the writing again, his small face wrinkled into a ball, and finally he seemed to have made up his mind and said: "Cousin, I don't want this one anymore, can I write another one?"

Lin Xi raised her eyebrows visibly in a few steps, but her heart burst into laughter, and then she nodded, "No rush, before Gu Hai comes, Rong'er can keep writing."

Seeing Zhao Yuanrong frowning, with a serious face, with his arms hanging steadily, and carefully rewriting each stroke, Lin Xi suddenly felt a satisfying sense of accomplishment.

Of course, with it comes a great sense of responsibility.

In the future... no matter what happens between him and Zhao Jingyi, he will teach this child well.

Perhaps besides Chinese, he should add a subject of mathematics.

If you can settle accounts, you won't suffer in the future.

When Mrs. Tai came to Lanyuexuan, she saw that big and small heads gathered together to study something, and they were so absorbed that they didn't even pay attention to the maid's report at the door.

She couldn't bear to disturb this warm scene.

But in the end Lin Xi raised her head and said in surprise: "Why is grandma here in person, just let someone call her grandson."

Lin Xi and Zhao Yuanrong left their seats together and got up to salute.

Mrs. Tai came here not to just look around, but to appease.

Two days before Prince Rui left Beijing, although few people knew about the quarrel between the cousins ​​at Songtao Courtyard, but they only needed to inquire a little bit, and they would be able to quickly discover what was said that day.

Mrs. Tai was furious when she first heard it, and directly asked Mama Ren to go and ground Xiao Jinxin for three months, and punished her for quarreling with the Buddhist scriptures ten times, so as to cultivate her temper, otherwise she would not be able to enter Prince Rui's residence, even if she went to other in-laws' homes, she would have to make a fuss The two are not happy.

"Don't bother grandma to worry about it. It's just a trivial matter. Xi'er has long forgotten it."

Lin Xi smiled and didn't care, of course he didn't take it seriously.

"Girl Xin is outspoken. She is too pampered. Your aunt has no face to come here, so she entrusted me, an old lady, if you have heard those words, it's fine as a family." Mrs. Tai held Lin Xi's hand and comforted her.

"Hmph!" Zhao Yuanrong, who was struggling to make more perfect characters, snorted vigorously, and then stood firm, "I don't like my aunt, so I will follow my cousin."

"Okay, okay, Rong'er can stay with whomever he likes, great-grandfather must stand with Rong'er."

It's hard to see Zhao Yuanrong doing something seriously, Mrs. Tai said happily.

Since Zhao Yuanrong would not change the guardian, he felt relieved, pursed his lips and focused on the paper.

Mrs. Tai then said to Lin Xi: "Your aunt sent some good things over. The old lady has seen them for you. They are all good things that can be used. You, don't be as knowledgeable as Xin girl, and come back tomorrow." It's just a gift."

"Xi'er didn't worry about it at all, it's because my aunt was overwhelmed."

Seeing that Lin Xi knew the general idea, Mrs. Tai was even more satisfied, so she asked, "I'm going to the Baijia Academy in less than ten days. Are you ready? Shu Xiu doesn't need you to prepare, I have already prepared everything."

"Thank you grandma, but studying is no different than other things, you don't need to bring anything. I am studying the books these days, and I am afraid that I will not be able to answer when I meet the master."

Thinking about it, Mrs. Tai will not say much, but...

"Rong'er puts Jintang first, can you rest assured?"

As soon as Mrs. Tai finished speaking, Zhao Yuanrong turned his head. Now he is very sensitive to this, and ran over and grabbed Lin Xi's sleeve, "Where is cousin going? Don't you want Rong'er?"

There was worry and panic on the little face.

Lin Xi knew very well how clingy Zhao Yuanrong was, so naturally he had to consider his fate for a long time.

He stroked Zhao Yuanrong's neck and hair, calmed down and said, "What are you talking about, who doesn't want you anymore?"

"But isn't my cousin going to study?" Although Zhao Yuanrong felt more at ease, he was still a little apprehensive.

"I want to go, but I will be busy in the first few days, so you stay in Chongjin Hall obediently for a few days, and you can't miss reading and writing. When I get familiar with you, I will pick you up. If you can go to school with me in the future After school, but it may be a little harder, Rong'er willing?"

Lin Xi was worried that when he was in the academy, Zhao Yuanrong stayed alone in the Yongning Hou Mansion, so he had already planned to take Zhao Yuanrong with him when he had gained a firm foothold.

Besides, before Zhao Jingyi left, he repeatedly emphasized that he must let Zhao Yuanrong follow him closely.

"I am willing, but uncle is not allowed to lie." Although Zhao Yuanrong was not happy about the temporary separation, he could accept it.

"Have I ever lied to you?" Lin Xi asked back.

Zhao Yuanrong smiled happily.

Mrs. Tai said: "Since you have already made up your mind, grandma has nothing to say, Mama Qi."

Mrs. Tai called out, and Qi's mother came over, took out a small box from her sleeve, and handed it to Lin Xi.

Open it, a stack of banknotes.

"After thinking about it, the old lady has nothing to give. I have prepared 5000 taels of silver for you. After entering the school, you will always need to spend money on communication between classmates in the future. Don't worry about it. You have to spend what you need. If you don't have enough, you can spend it again." Ask grandma for it."

As soon as the offer was 5000 taels, Lin Xi was taken aback, and quickly declined, "Xi'er spends all her food and clothing in the public house, and my grandmother has prepared bundles for me, so I don't need to spend any more. Take it again, you keep the bottom of the box."

Mother Qi chuckled and said, "Master Biao is really talking nonsense. What kind of box is it? On weekdays, pens, inks, papers and inkstones, dinners in restaurants, and New Year's gifts don't need to be spent. The 5000 taels seems like a lot. It's over."

Mrs. Tai nodded, "That makes sense."

"But I also have income. You returned my mother's dowry Zhuangtian shop to me before, which is enough." Lin Xi still felt embarrassed to take it. It seemed that Mrs. Tai secretly subsidized him. If the two aunts knew , Isn't it too much right and wrong, "There are two cousins."

Fenglin Pavilion wanted to marry a wife, and Aunt Mei from Meijingyuan saw Tian'er reaching out to Mrs. Liu for money.

But this remark annoyed Mrs. Tai, and she cursed: "Old lady, I can give my private house to whoever I like, and you can take it if you give it to you. If you talk nonsense, I will be annoyed. Besides, your two aunts have Thick dowry doesn't look down on the old lady's coffin book."

Mrs. Tai poked Lin Xi's forehead again with her finger, "You, I know you are filial, but the most important thing now is to study hard. In the future, grandma will be happy if she gets a good grade in the exam. Even if she goes underground, she can say goodbye to your mother." Confession. Your wife will keep all your money, just like your cousin. You have a fixed number of exams for scholars, Jinshi, and gold medal titles. The flowers are also appropriate."

Really rich and powerful, Lin Xi was dumbfounded.

It's almost a whole life wrapped up.

Zhao Yuanrong looked at the box, then glanced at Lin Xi and Mrs. Tai, and tilted his head.
