The daily routine of the ancient imperial examination

The people are a little puzzled.

This white and tender one doesn't look like a bad guy at all, does it?

The other party noticed the people around the soldiers, smiled softly, and greeted them.

Those people who were holding rotten eggs and vegetable leaves unconsciously put down the eggs in their hands when they saw that the other party had such a good attitude.

The emissary of the arrogant old man, they can strike hard, but when facing the young boy who is white and tender, the common people are embarrassed to use the method they used against the previous emissary to deal with this person, and they always feel very guilty.

What's more, the other party is so cute, everyone can't bear to do it.

So, everyone took the rotten eggs and rotten vegetables back into their baskets, and silently watched the man being escorted away by the soldiers.

Inside the general's mansion.

Invited by Big Brother Shi, Lu Xiuyuan was drinking tea here, while supervising Shi Yunchen's endorsement.

He leaned back on the chair comfortably, crossed his legs, and kept staring at each other.

However, although Shi Yunchen was holding a book in his hand, his attention was not concentrated at all.

Those eyes were either looking at him for a while, or looking at the window, and the body was still swaying in the chair.

He gave Shi Yunchen a helpless look, but the other party curled his lips, so he had to raise the book in his hand again, and barely glanced at it a few times.

The room was very quiet, and Lu Xiuyuan was sleepy even as a supervisor, so he simply brought hot tea on the table to relieve his fatigue.

Unexpectedly, when the tea cover was lifted, the sound of porcelain colliding attracted Shi Yunchen's attention again.

He really couldn't help but speak out this time, "My little master, you should have a snack and read it twice, so that when the big brother asks questions in the evening, you won't be unable to answer a single sentence, just fine."

"It's so easy to say! Seeing the content of those arguments and lobbying, I feel sleepy, how can I continue to read!" Shi Yunchen said angrily.

Hearing this, Lu Xiuyuan wanted to cover his face.

It has been seven days, and the other party has been locked up at home for seven days, and King Hui of Liang has not memorized the first chapter of that "Mencius".

When he was caught by Big Brother Shi and supervised by Shi Yunchen for endorsement, he thought it was a good job, and wondered why he was not guarded this time.

The co-authoring partner's endorsement did not cooperate at all. He has been here to supervise for two days, but he has only progressed a few hundred words.

"I've already recited a few sentences, it's enough to give you face, so don't embarrass me." Shi Yunchen blinked at him, wanting Lu Xiuyuan to let him go.

"Impossible, Brother Shi will check it at night, so you can just take a look." He brutally refused.

When Shi Yunchen saw that the resistance failed, he curled his lips unwillingly, and continued to pick up the book dejectedly.

After a few breaths, the other party heard movement outside, and his ears trembled.

"Hey, Lu Erlang, there seems to be a visitor outside."

Lu Xiuyuan didn't believe his nonsense, "It doesn't matter who comes here, just endorse it."

"Hush" Yun Chen made a small movement, "If you don't believe me, listen..."

Lu Xiuyuan followed the opponent's movements and listened carefully.

Except for the occasional sound of wind and sand outside, there seemed to be someone talking in the courtyard.

He carefully distinguished it, and the other party's voice had a strange tone.

Could it be the new envoy of the Goudai clan? ?

"Should we go out and have a look?" The young master asked softly by leaning on his ear.

Lu Xiuyuan glanced at the people beside him, "I'll go out and have a look first."

After speaking, he got up and opened the door.

When Shi Yunchen saw him go out, he put down the book in his hand openly and followed closely behind.

After leaving the room, within two steps, the general led a blond boy into the living room when they met in the corridor.

Because it passed by in a flash, the man's face was not seen very clearly.

The two of them looked at each other, Shi Yunchen played tricks on Lu Xiuyuan, took advantage of the crowd and managed to sneak into the living room.

Through the gap in front, Lu Xiuyuan could clearly see the appearance of the envoy of the Goudai clan this time.

The other party looked fifteen or sixteen years old, with profound features, and a head of blond hair that looked very dazzling. Under the curly eyelashes, amber eyes, coupled with fair skin, and slightly raised lips, gave people a A very pure feeling.

The young man was invited into the living room, sat down, glanced at the crowd around him from the corner of his eye, and adjusted his posture on the seat naturally, revealing his slender waist, tender white fingers, gently resting his cheeks, his eyes curved He stood up and looked at General Shi as if he had spring water in his mouth.

Why does it look seductive?

Lu Xiuyuan glanced at Shi Yunchen with some uncertainty, and was about to tell him what he had discovered, but found that the other party was staring at the young man, his eyes were about to burn with anger.

Uh, judging by his reaction, it probably wasn't his own illusion.

"May the general ask the others to step down first? Yan is here for the first time, and I'm a little scared." The boy softly asked.

The other party was sincere, and although the tone of his speech was not very accurate, General Shi still satisfied the other party's request.

He waved his hand to make the surrounding soldiers retreat.

After a while, there were only four people left in the living room.

General Shi winked at Shi Yunchen, but the other party pretended not to see it and continued to look ahead.

General Shi had no choice but to continue to wink at Lu Xiuyuan next to him. Due to his embarrassing status, he had to ignore the orders of his second uncle in the future. He hesitated for a moment, and finally pulled Shi Yunchen and retreated together.

The two of them held hands and went back to the previous room. He asked Shi Yunchen with some doubts, "Look at that man, do you want to seduce General Shi?"

"Absolutely!" The other party gritted his teeth, then turned his head and glared at Lu Xiuyuan.

"Why did you pull me out just now? I want to see what tricks that man is up to!"

"Looking at the other party's clothes, their status in Goutai should be quite high. I guess they have some important news to discuss, so let's forget it first." Lu Xiuyuan gently stroked the other party's hand and said smoothly.

Under his constant reassurance, the young master's anger gradually calmed down.

In the living room, that young man was also inquiring about Shi Yunchen's news. He felt it in the crowd just now, and it was the one who was most hostile to him.

Thinking that the other party is about the same age as him, and his appearance is also comparable to his own, how should I put it, he is more sensitive to these.

General Shi cleared his throat, and explained, "Just now, he was the younger brother of the family. He is not sensible. I hope the little prince doesn't mind."

Hearing that it was the younger brother, he withdrew his hostility, and said with a smile: "So it's the general's younger brother. You two have such a good relationship."

"Well, it's not bad,"

Now there are only the two of them left in the living room, and General Shi stopped chatting, and went directly to the topic.

"I wonder if the little prince is here this time?"

The other party kicked the black wooden box at the bottom of the foot, "As you can see, I am here to apologize at the order of my father and king this time."

"Apologize?" General Shi looked at the wooden box suspiciously.

Judging by the shape and size, it won't be...

The little prince didn't talk nonsense, he directly opened the package and lifted the lid of the wooden box. What was inside was the head of the arrogant envoy two days ago!

General Shi's pupils shrank slightly, and he turned to look at the little prince.

The other party was still as cute and gentle as before, he suppressed the surprise in his eyes, the little prince looked like a little white rabbit, he didn't expect to run around with the human head, and secretly warned himself not to be deceived by that person's weak appearance .

The general didn't speak when the little prince saw it, and he explained softly: "After Murong Badan went back, the father knew the ins and outs and was furious, so he sent a banquet to make amends. I hope the general will not care about the last accident. This time we came here with sincerity."

"Yeah." He responded casually, "What kind of sincerity do you bring?"

Hearing this, the other party moved a little closer to the table, staring at General Shi tenderly with a pair of beautiful eyes, and parted his thin lips lightly, "No matter what the general asks, I will try my best to satisfy you at the banquet."

He couldn't help leaning back in the seat.

Seeing this reaction, the little prince smiled slightly.

General Shi held back his unease, thinking of the terms he had negotiated with Lu Xiuyuan in advance, he said, "We can save people, but the premise is that we need to sign a contract."

"What contract? Just say it, the general."

The little prince's eyes were shining brightly. After so many years, the other party has not changed, he is still the gentle general who is lenient to the old and the weak, women and children.

"You present the surrender table, and you will become a vassal state of my Great Heaven/Dynasty in the future, and you will pay tribute regularly every year for at least ten years." General Shi said with a frown.

When the other party heard this condition, he got stuck and felt a little disappointed, but although it was different from what he thought, he could accept it. After all, this was what his father guessed.

"This is what we should do." The little prince nodded sincerely.

"Wait a minute, I haven't finished yet," General Shi hurriedly interrupted, "We don't want too much tribute, just [-] good horses and [-] cattle and sheep each year."

"What, what?" The little prince was dumbfounded.

General Shi saw that the other party didn't seem to hear clearly, so he kindly repeated it again. "Ten thousand good horses, five thousand cattle and sheep each."

"However, with so many livestock freezing to death this year, it may be a bit difficult..." the little prince said weakly.

He had thought about this a long time ago, seeing what the other party said, General Shi took a proper step back.

"Considering that this year's snowstorm and plague will not be easy for everyone, the tribute cattle and sheep will be temporarily exempted for one year, and only [-] good horses are needed."

The little prince looked at the other party with astonishment in his eyes. According to the character of General Shi he had studied before, there was a high probability that the other party would help the herdsmen for free. How could he propose such a harsh condition?

The snowstorm froze to death a large number of cattle, horses and sheep in their tribe, among which horses were the least, but if they paid tribute to the other side according to this condition, then they would be in short supply of war horses.

The other party frowned in confusion, and those amber eyes also showed that they were about to cry.

But the general didn't notice all this at the time, he just sat upright, looked ahead, and quietly waited for the answer from the person next to him.

When the little prince saw him, the general didn't look at him, he felt like he was giving the blind man a wink. Thinking that it was getting late outside, why not delay it all night first, and then see if there is any other way.

So, he began to ask in a soft voice: "The general's request is a bit difficult, can you please think about it again and reply tomorrow?"

He glanced at the little prince, who blinked and pursed his thin lips.

General Shi couldn't hold back his trembling, and after answering, he quickly got up and went out to find the guards, and arranged for him a place to stay tonight.

Looking at General Shi's back, the little prince angrily kicked the wooden box at his feet, the thing didn't hold up at all, the head flipped out from inside, and rolled twice on the ground.
