The scumbag son-in-law dressed as a husband

Xi Mo didn't know about Xie Shu and Yu Chuxi's affairs. Seeing that the master had been stopping to watch, he seemed to like the peach blossom very much, so he said, "Master, would you like to pick a branch?"

What Xie Shu said was exactly what Xie Shu thought, but Xie Shu thought for a moment, then shook his head and said: "It's still early, and there will be a poetry meeting to participate in later. It would be a pity to see it falling apart in my hands."

Xi Mo was a little puzzled when he heard the words: "Master, this is just a peach blossom, it doesn't look good, just pick another one."

Xie Shu glanced at him lightly and said: "Although the peach grove here is not in the West Garden, someone has carefully planted it. If you want to take it back for viewing, the owner will not blame it if you know it. Why do you want to treat it like this?"

Xi Mo nodded as if he had realized something. Now Xie Shu's words and deeds are quite different from before, but what he can say and do makes Xi Mo very convinced, and he always feels that there is a big reason in it.

Xi Mo then stopped talking, silently waiting for the master to finish watching, and the two returned to the way they came back.

What they didn't know was that after the master and servant left, two figures appeared behind a hill not far away.

Both of them were young men, dressed in brocade clothes, with a relaxed posture, as if they were wandering in their own yard.

The one on the left looks to be in his twenties, tall and straight, with a good appearance and a kind of open-mindedness in his expression.

The person on the right looks younger, but he looks like a dragon and a phoenix, with even more aura.He closed the folding fan in his hand with great interest and said, "This man's talk is interesting, cousin, do you know him?"

This person is the third prince of the current dynasty, named Shao Zhen. This year, he came to Jinling this time to handle the emperor's southern tour, but this matter was done in secret, and no one else knew about it.

The other person is of course Gu Yuanke, the organizer of the Xiyuan Poetry Association, and also Shao Zhen's cousin.

Gu Yuanke couldn't understand the meaning of Shao Zhen's words. The purpose of holding the West Garden Poetry Conference this time was to secretly select and recruit a few people for Shao Zhen to use in the future.

Now because of the relationship between Shao Zhen's mother and son, the Gu family is very favored, and Gu's father occupies the most lucrative seat in Jinling, but flowers are blooming, and the fire is cooking oil. If the Gu family can't make further progress in the future, one can imagine the end.

Therefore, Gu Yuanke could only follow his father in choosing to support the third prince.

On the other hand, Shao Zhen is talented and intelligent, but because he was loved in the palace since he was a child, he has a temperamental temperament. Even Gu Yuanke, his cousin, has to be very careful in front of him.

Gu Yuanke considered his words, his usual generous expression seemed shrewd at this moment: "I know this person, his name is Xie Shu..."

Gu Yuanke was a little surprised to see that Shao Zhen was optimistic about Xie Shu, but Gu Yuanke could understand that Xie Shu's demeanor was far superior to others, and his conversation just now was extraordinary.

But because of this, Gu Yuanke was a little worried about how to explain it to Shao Zhen...

Gu Yuanke knew about Xie Shu, of course not because he wanted to pay attention to Jinling's talents, but because Xie Shu was famous in Jinling once, when the wealthy Yu's family in Jinling was recruiting a son-in-law, he was the first one to come to him. That son-in-law.

And after this person passed the scholar examination at the age of 14, he failed to see his name in the next two provincial examinations, and dropped out of Jinling Academy, so he disappeared without a word.

It can be seen that this talented person has limited knowledge and a bad heart, and he is not the good talent and beautiful jade they want... It's just that he just watched his words and deeds, maybe there is something hidden in it...

Xie Shu?

Shao Zhen frowned when he heard the words, he had never heard of such a person, but he didn't find it strange, but asked casually: "Could it be someone from the Xie family in Chenjun?"

Shao Zhen has been serving him in rich clothes and fine food since he was a child, and he can tell at a glance that Xie Shu's clothes and accessories are quite interesting.

The Xie family of Chenjun mentioned by Shao Zhen is a very famous gentry family name.

Although the imperial examinations are now used as a means of recruiting talents, there are still a small number of people who can read and start books, and it is still the children of aristocratic families who control most of the positions in the court.There is a world of difference between a poor family and an aristocratic family, which can be seen from the way they dress.

Therefore, Shao Zhen's question is also reasonable.

Seeing that his guesses were getting wrong, Gu Yuanke could only shake his head and reveal the answer: "That's not the case..."

After Gu Yuanke finished speaking, Shao Zhen's complexion was not good.

Gu Yuanke was about to say something: "But I saw his words and deeds just now..."

But before he finished speaking, Shao Zhen waved his hands impatiently and said: "Cousin, don't say any more."

Unexpectedly, the person I was optimistic about at first sight was such a miserable person, Shao Zhen lost interest for a while, and felt a little unhappy.

Here, Xie Shu returned to the gate of the West Garden, only to see that many people had gathered at the gate.Some of them look a bit like the ones he saw on the scroll in advance.

And when Xie Shu approached, many people couldn't help but glance at him.

The spring is cold, and the West Garden is on the mountain again, and there is still a tinge of chill in the morning breeze.

Most of the people were wearing cotton clothes, although they were a bit bloated, they were enough to keep out the cold, while Xie Shu wore a green fashion with a light fur crown belt, which made her look taller and taller.

His eyebrows are like distant mountains, his handsomeness is like a dust, and his eyes are like stars. When he looked up, it seemed that the light of the sky fell on him.

Zhang Enshi was stunned for a moment before he came to his senses. He hadn't seen Xie Shu for three years. Unexpectedly, Xie Shu's bearing and demeanor were very different from before, far worse than before.

Then Zhang Enshi smiled wryly, also, Xie Shu is now married to the son of a wealthy man in Jinling, so he is naturally separated from them.

When Zhang Enshi received the news that Xie Shu was coming a few days ago, he was actually a little flattered. After all, he and Xie Shu didn't have a deep relationship, and Xie Shu had never replied to a letter before, but this time he still spoke clearly. add.

But when Zhang Enshi and several other students talked about it just now, no one cared about it.

Zhang Enshi waved at Xie Shu with a smile, and Xie Shu confirmed his guess that this person was Zhang Enshi, who looked a few years older than him, and his appearance was not outstanding, but he was somewhat honest.

Xie Shu nodded slightly towards him and smiled a little.

As for the others, they didn't speak, and showed a little alienation. They were not as good-tempered as Zhang Enshi, and they went to invite Xie Shu.

In the years when they were classmates, Xie Shu didn't have a good relationship with them.

When Xie Shu left, everyone teared their faces apart.

But it's not their fault, who asked Xie Shu to come to be his son-in-law, and they can't talk about it behind his back?

So just now when they learned that Xie Shu was coming, everyone naturally ridiculed what happened back then. Now that they saw Xie Shu, they still felt a little sour in their hearts.

Xie Shu looks different now, as expected, he is supported by his rich husband!

Xu Shengkai, who had never gotten along well with Xie Shu, couldn't help but smirked and said, "We haven't seen Xie Shu for three years, and you finally came out this time? Tell us, how is it like being in Yu's house?"

Xu Shengkai had heard for a long time how powerful the young head of the Yu family was, so his tone was gloating.

And as soon as he said this, the people around him probably heard it, and everyone guessed Xie Shu's identity, and whispered to each other. Xie Shu, the son-in-law!

Therefore, everyone's eyes can't help showing a bit of disdain, and the so-called literati look down on each other for the same reason.

Zhang Enshi looked anxious, and quickly grabbed Xu Shengkai. Today they came to participate in the poetry meeting. If there was a conflict at the entrance of the poetry meeting, what should they do?

And what Xu Shengkai said was too much, no matter what, they were classmates before, so they couldn't be so ugly.

Xu Shengkai also realized when he said it at this time, Xie Shu is now the son-in-law of the Yu family, how to say, it is different from before.

With the Yu family as his reliance, he provoked Xie Shu like this, and it was hard to guarantee that it would be wrong. What would Xie Shu do.

Thinking of this, Xu Shengkai's expression stiffened a bit, but he still stiffened his neck, unwilling to bow his head.

But to everyone's surprise, Xie Shu didn't have any special reaction, he didn't even change his expression, he just raised his eyebrows and said, "Not bad."

These words are like a breeze, silently dispelling all the discord just now.

Seeing that Xie Shu didn't argue, Xu Shengkai gave the answer so lightly, as if he had punched the cotton, and for a while, he felt a little unspeakably depressed.

But Xu Shengkai didn't think that Xie Shu was really answering him calmly, he must have swollen his face to pretend to be fat.

It's just that if a person really doesn't care about something, other people will lose interest in having fun with that thing.

Afterwards, everyone didn't talk about this matter any more, and after waiting for everyone, they handed in invitations to the doorman and entered the West Garden.

As soon as they entered the West Garden, everyone was attracted by the scenery in front of them.

The West Garden was built by the water, surrounded by clear streams, and the stone steps were like clouds. After everyone entered, they followed the doorman through the winding corridors. The stones under their feet were as white as snow, as if they were stepping on jade steps.

The surrounding attic courtyards are even more exquisite. Every mountain, every stone, every plant and every tree seems to be there for people to watch.

At this time, everyone showed yearning expressions, wishing to chant a few poems on the spot to express their excitement. Only Xie Shu looked calm, but he also looked forward to this poem even more.

Not long after passing through many pavilions, I finally saw the place where today's poetry meeting was held, and I saw that it was in a pavilion near the water.

There are two rows of weeping willows by the stream, mixed with countless peaches and apricots, showing the glow of spring, and there are fallen flowers floating on the water surface, melting and swaying.

The inside and outside of the pavilion had already been well-arranged, and countless maids shuttled among them, setting up delicious wine and food on the tables placed by the stream. At this time, the owner had not yet appeared, and there were quite a few guests who arrived earlier than them.

Although there is no requirement for any identity to come to the Xiyuan Poetry Club this time, anyone with talent and learning can come in.

But basically they are all scholars of Xi Juye, that is, Tong Sheng.

For example, those who study at Jinling Academy are all scholars who have obtained fame and fame, and have the status of students.

However, the Qing Dynasty stipulated that scholars who participated in the rural examination must be students who had studied in government-run colleges, so most of the people who came and went knew each other.

Soon, Zhang Enshi was surprised and said: "Look, that person seems to be Mr. Zuo Ran's high apprentice Wang Jing. He took part in the provincial examination last year and got the first place. He is already Jie Yuan!"

The township examination is the next hurdle everyone faces.

The township examination, also known as Qiuwei, is held only once every three years, and there are three times in total. After passing the township examination, one becomes a juren and is eligible to be an official.

But the difficulty of this rural examination is very difficult, and the admission is based on the proportion of the number of people in the entire province. Jiangnan Province, where Jinling is located, only admits dozens of people at a time.He won the first place in the local examination, so he was called Jie Yuan. It is conceivable that this person is very powerful.

Xie Shu also took another look at him, only to see that Wang Jing was tall and thin, with a handsome appearance, and there were quite a few people gathered around him.

At this time, a few more people arrived, and they were also well-known talents in Jinling. Although Xie Shu didn't know any of them, he had read the information before, so he silently listened to the conversation of the few people next to him, and matched the information of each person in his heart.

Zhang Enshi and others finally decided to sit in the middle row, where there was neither outstanding nor unnoticed.

Xie Shu also sat down, he didn't care about that, but thought about it in his heart.

Before coming to this poetry meeting, although Xie Shu had an idea of ​​the imperial examination, he didn't put himself in the situation, but now he feels a silent appeal.

The people around him all take getting academic honors as their top priority, which is actually very similar to modern society.

Xie Shu once had some experience in the examination, and after he was a graduate student, he has been dealing with ancient Chinese classics. He has studied this aspect, so he has a good understanding of the ancient imperial examination system.

He is very clear that, unlike modern times, the imperial examination is not a path that everyone takes, but it is... a road to the sky.

In fact, these days, Xie Shu has been thinking about what career he should do in ancient times.

He doesn't seem to be able to do much, only reading is not bad.

But Xie Shu has no interest in fame and fortune, and it's not out of envy of others.

It's just that Xie Shu suddenly remembered, the man in the family.

He can't give Lang Jun anything, but this, maybe he can.
