The birds in Yang's mansion got up late today, and just as they were about to fly to the branches, they were startled by Yang Xiaoyu who rushed into the door in a hurry, and they fluttered several times before returning to their nests.

"Brother! Have you finished reviewing yesterday's test paper?"

Yang Nian put on a dressing gown and came out of the room, and closed the bedroom door, "Do you still look like a lady, what are you doing in such a hurry?"

"I'm just curious," Yang Xiaoyu said shyly, "How about Qiu Xu's article?"

"I haven't read it yet. The rankings will be released tomorrow. Don't you know if you read it with others?"

"Brother! You said tomorrow that you will paste your name on it, so I don't know which one belongs to Qiu Xu."

"You can't even read other people's handwriting, so what are you talking about?" Yang Nian saw that Yang Xiaoyu became more and more anxious, and found it interesting, deliberately teasing her appetite.

"elder brother!"

"Okay, okay, come with me to the study." Yang Nian called Yao'er to wash up briefly, "Let's go and see this Master Qiu's masterpiece."

Yang Xiaoyu excitedly followed behind Yang Nian.

Li Sheng was originally hiding under the quilt, but when he heard the footsteps getting farther away, he exhaled and exposed his head.

"My lord, the young master and the others are leaving, why don't you wash up?" Yao'er bent her knees and handed the warm towel to Li Sheng.

Li Sheng was taken aback by her, but he understood Yao'er's mischievous expression, took the towel a little embarrassedly, "I'll leave right away."

"Understood, I built a ladder by the wall in the backyard. No matter how good your skills are, climbing up and down every day is tiring, isn't it?"

"You girl." Li Sheng understood Yang Nian's feeling that he always had nothing to do with this girl.

"Here, this one is it!" Yang Xiaoyu rummaged through the test papers and finally found Qiu Shao's article, "Look at this word, it's neat and strong, and it looks like everyone's style."

"Well, go ahead and praise."

"I'll just say it casually, read this article first." Yang Xiaoyu hurriedly handed the paper to Yang Nian.

Yang Nian took the paper and browsed it very quickly. It was indeed a good policy theory, well-founded. What is rare is that considering that it was selected by the people, the words and sentences were very easy to understand, embodying the great principles in the vernacular. Among them is the talent he is looking for to write history.But in order to amuse Yang Xiaoyu, he deliberately pretended to be serious.

"Why, what's wrong?"

"Well," Yang Nian paused.

"how?"

Yang Nian laughed loudly, "It really isn't an idiot!"

Yang Xiaoyu knew that she was being teased, and she was not convinced, but after hearing Yang Nian's comment, she showed a proud expression, "I just said that Mr. Qiu is really talented."

"No matter how talented he is, what does it matter to you?"

"This..." Yang Xiaoyu's ears turned red.

"Do you remember that you still have a marriage contract?" Yang Nian suddenly said seriously.

Yang Xiaoyu saw that the atmosphere became heavy all of a sudden, so she had to say, "My lord and I haven't even spoken a word, let me marry him, how can I do it."

"Can,"

"I know that Daddy will definitely think that Qiu Xu's family is not prominent enough, and that I would be low when I married him, but I really like him."

"Did you tell Uncle Third?"

"No," Yang Xiaoyu said in embarrassment, "but isn't the imperial examination approaching? When Qiu Xu gets his name on the gold list, my father will be willing to betroth me to him seeing that he is so advanced."

"I don't think so, you must have a good discussion with him about this matter, after all, it is not a trivial matter to withdraw the marriage contract of Yuci.

"I know."

"I don't force you either. This is a major matter of your own marriage. I don't think you should play tricks. As for Qiu Xu, he must be a person with integrity and talent just based on his strategies. But the third uncle will not I don’t know if I think so.”

"He's really a good man," Yang Xiaoyu regained his vitality as soon as he said it back to Qiu Xu, "I have one more thing to ask my brother, can you give me this article after the public announcement, let me I will keep a memory."

Yang Nian gave her a disgusted look, "It really blinds you to your emotions."

Yang Xiaoyu just smiled foolishly and didn't answer.

"Yesterday, when the court came to court, the Ministry of Industry issued a report, saying that the Yellow River was diverted, and water conservancy needs to be repaired once and for all." Li Sheng poured good wine for Yang Nian.

"The household department is empty, where can I get money." Jiang Ruofeng received it from the side.

Yang Nian picked up the wine glass, he was busy with the academy these days and didn't go to court, "Then what does His Majesty say?"

"Brother Huang was caught in the middle and didn't know what to do. In the end, he only said to retreat."

"This is an opportunity to overthrow the Ministry of Household Affairs. If you can find a way to raise money, the emperor will definitely use you."

"The Minister of the Household Department can't think of a way to raise money, so how can I think of it." Li Sheng said helplessly.

"Speaking of this, someone must have a way to get money." Yang Nian smiled.

Jiang Ruofeng understood, and said, "I don't know if Mr. Yang and I want to go together?"

"It was Si Zhi. Speaking of which, why did he resign and retire?" Yang Nian asked.

"It's really a long story. Last year, Si Zhi and I went to the music hall to listen to music. A kabuki from Jiangbei came to the music hall. Si Zhi fell in love at first sight. We only got along for two months, but we had a deep relationship. But just when Si Zhi tried his best to redeem the prostitute and wanted to marry her as his regular wife, the prostitute got an incurable disease and died. Si Zhi treated her like a husband and wife, and she died. Afterwards, he took her body to Jiangbei, and decided to resign from office and observe mourning for her for three years."

"I didn't expect Si Zhi to be so affectionate and righteous," Yang Nian sighed, but suddenly thought, "Jiangbei?"

"Yes," Jiang Ruofeng nodded, "I also remember what that crazy Taoist cńcńz told him back then. I persuaded him at that time, but I really didn't expect that I would ruin a marriage."

"How can we blame you, we didn't expect it." What Yang Nian was thinking at the moment was another prophecy from the Taoist priest.

"You want me to find that Si Zhi?" Li Sheng asked.

"That's right, but you need a good reason. Although you are in the court to listen to the government, you don't have any errands. You can take this opportunity to go north for the reason of the emperor's inspection of the Jiangbei Camp. Is there a way for him to raise money?"

"Okay," Li Sheng agreed, "Since he is a person who values ​​love, I think he and I will have a good chat."

"I only allow you to chat," Yang Nian added, recalling Si Zhi's charming eyes.

Jiang Ruofeng didn't know about the matter between Yang Nian and Li Sheng, so he felt inexplicable when he heard this.

Li Sheng was a little proud inside, but he couldn't show it. He could only fill Yang Nian's small bowl with his favorite crystal elbow.
