Enter the red building

Knowing that his mother and younger sister were coming to the capital soon, Xue Qiu was very happy, and hurriedly ordered his servants to prepare the room and utensils, he was very busy.The servants are also very happy. Although the house is small, there are still a few rooms vacant, and the house is still a little deserted. I think it will be quite lively after my wife and the others come.

Xue Qiu looked at the jade token issued by the emperor not long ago in his hand. This is the waist badge for entering and leaving the palace. Only with this can he enter and leave the palace to participate in the morning court every day.Thinking that I will soon enter the Imperial Academy as a sixth-rank official as an editor, I feel a little depressed.Seriously, when I got my name on the gold list, after the high school champion entered the Imperial Academy, I suddenly felt at a loss, as if I was going to be an official, a feeling of being in a dream.

At this moment, Lulian walked in and said, "Master, the eldest master of the Mei family and Young Master Xuan are here."

Xue Qiu frowned, and after seeing off a few officials who came to visit, he came again, and he couldn't stop the meeting, and he was only a sixth-rank official.What Xue Qiu didn't know was that when he was promoted, those people would no longer be able to come to his door.After all, court officials don't get to see them whenever they want.This is to establish a good relationship first, and Xue Qiu will be prosperous in the future, so he can come to the door if he has something to do.

But this Mei family really makes people speechless. They used to think about how to get rid of this marriage of the Xue family, but now they are rushing to talk about the relationship.Xue Qiu sighed, for the sake of his younger sister Baoqin, it was really boring to have to compromise with them.

Xue Qiu smirked and said kindly: "Uncle Shi, it's really my nephew's fault. I didn't go to visit you, but you were so tired that you came to the door in person."

The elder of the Mei family, Mei Hanzhi, has also worked hard in the officialdom for so many years. He selectively ignored the things that looked down on the Xue family in the past, and said with a smile on his face: "Nephew, you must prepare for the exam with your heart and don't be distracted. It's just because of love." But the original. How could uncle blame him?"

Xue Qiu smiled, "Uncle still understands the truth!"

Mei Hanzhi introduced a 14-year-old young man beside him to Xue Qiu, and said: "This is the dog Mei Xuan." Then he scolded Mei: "I haven't seen your elder brother Xue Qiu soon."

Xue Qiu knew that this was Mei Xuan, whom his younger sister promised him. Xue Qiu looked at Mei Xuan carefully.

Mei Xuan looked at Xue Qiu, feeling a little excited. After all, Xue Qiu was the number one scholar in the new discipline of Sanyuan Jidi, and he was an object of admiration for scholars.Mei Xuan bowed shyly and said, "I've seen brother Xue Qiu!"

Xue Qiu nodded with a smile, and said to Mei Hanzhi: "Uncle, don't call me nephew. Just call me Yunxiao."

Hearing Xue Qiu's words, Mei Hanzhi knew that he was trying to get closer, which was exactly what Mei Hanzhi expected.Before, the Xue family looked directly at a merchant, agreeing to the marriage contract was too hasty, thinking of delaying and regretting the marriage, but they did not expect that the uncle of the Xue family, Xue Qiu, would be the third-ranked student, the top student in high school, even though he is still only a sixth-rank editor , but the new champion has been valued by the emperor, so it can be seen that the future is boundless, this in-law must do it.

Mei Xuan was very happy to hear what Xue Qiu said. He also knew about his marriage contract with sister Xue Qiu. Before that, his father wanted to regret the marriage. Although he had never met the Xue family girl, he did not want to break his promise. It is the right family, and my father agrees, and I feel a lot more at ease.

"Yun Xiao, when do you plan to take up the post at the Imperial Academy?" Mei Han called Xue Qiu's words with ease.

Xue Qiu didn't care, and replied with a smile: "I plan to go the day after tomorrow. Mother and the others are going to the capital tomorrow, so I should pick it up."

Mei Hanzhi nodded after hearing this, and could discuss Xuan'er's marriage after Mrs. Xue came.If Xue Qiu knew about this, he would definitely not agree to it. Marrying at such a young age would be like abducting an underage girl.

Xue Qiu said again: "From now on, I will need my uncle to take care of me."

Mei Hanzhi knew that this was Xue Qiu trying to save face for him, he was not something he could compare to as the champion of the new discipline, looking at Xue Qiu's 15-year-old face, he was already very mature, without any youthful flamboyance and frivolity, in his heart You couldn't help nodding your head, and said with a smile: "Okay! Since Yun Xiao said so, uncle will naturally take care of him."

Xue Qiu looked at Mei Hanzhi's wrinkled and smiling face at that moment, not knowing what to say next, then looked at his fiancée, and asked, "Did Mei Xuan take the imperial examination?"

Mei Xuan saw Xue Qiu asking himself something, and replied respectfully: "I just passed the government examination, but I haven't passed the hospital examination." As he spoke, he felt a little ashamed. He was only one year younger than Xue Qiu, but he was not even a scholar. No, they are already champions.

Mei Hanzhi didn't want to go there, but said, "I brought him here this time in the hope that you, Yun Xiao, can give him some advice." Mei Hanzhi thought that with the guidance of the new champion, Xuan'er must gain something, Besides, Xue Qiu's support is indispensable for Xuan'er's journey in the future.

Xue Qiu felt ashamed and said: "Uncle, isn't this embarrassing for Yun Xiao? Uncle is very knowledgeable and has been working in the Imperial Academy for a long time, so why let me give advice. Yun Xiao has little knowledge, so he really dare not!"

But Mei Hanzhi waved his hand and said with a smile: "You still have little knowledge, what are you going to do with the other students in Jinling? You are the number one talented scholar in Jinling, the number one scholar in Sanyuan."

Xue Qiu couldn't refuse, so he had no choice but to agree.From now on, Mei Xuan will come to Xue's house frequently.

It didn't take long before noon, and the servants of Xue's family had already prepared the meal.The three sat and talked without drinking.Mei Hanzhi also knew that Xue Qiu was drunk from alcohol, so he ate some vegetables and chatted some gossip.

When sending Mei Hanzhi out of the gate, Xue Qiu knew that it was Mei Hanzhi who put down his body and came to visit himself as a junior first, and he had to go to Mei's mansion to visit him in person another day.Mei Hanzhi looked at Xue Qiu and sighed, "Brother An Huai, if you know that you have won the first prize, I don't know how relieved it will be." There were tears in the corners of his eyes as he spoke.

Xue Qiu didn't know whether Mei Hanzhi's words were true or false, so he couldn't help being sad, and said, "Father knows, I believe he will be proud of his son."

Mei Hanzhi nodded, "Yes! Yun Xiao, you have to pay attention, the officialdom is more complicated, you must see the situation clearly, and don't offend other officials, otherwise they may trip you up at any time. You must remember to be an official The only key is to be cautious in words and deeds." Mei Hanzhi admires Xue Qiu very much, and the relationship between the two families will be in-laws, so Mei Hanzhi is naturally willing to give Xue Qiu some advice.

Listening to Mei Hanzhi's words, Xue Qiu naturally knew that he was sincerely reminding him. Xue Qiu was naturally very grateful, and leaned over and said, "Thank you uncle for your guidance! Yun Xiao will definitely remember it."

Mei Hanzhi was very pleased with Xue Qiu's respect and humility, he stroked his beard with a smile, and said, "Let's take our leave first, there is no need to send it off."

Mei Xuan also clasped his fists in salute, and said, "Brother Xue Qiu, farewell!"

Xue Qiu nodded, watching the Mei family father and son walk away.These are based on their own status, they will come to give themselves face, if one day I lose these, what kind of face will they have?Xue Qiu felt terrified when he thought about it, he couldn't imagine it.Thinking of Mei Xuan, a shy young man, Xue Qiu couldn't help laughing, could he be a good match for his sister?
