After teasing the important minister, he took it seriously

Li Chengqi didn't expect such an answer, she laughed and said: "The imperial court has been recruiting scholars for more than ten years, and what they are looking for may be such talents as Gu Langjun."

Gu Wuyu rubbed his nose, "But I feel that Mr. Xiao Lang is teasing me." But after a while, he put down his hand and restrained the slight embarrassment on his face, "How is it? Mr. Mr. Xiao Lang wants to go with us? "

"I'll go as soon as Mr. Gu treats you." Li Chengqi jokingly said.

"Okay." Gu Wuyu answered happily.

Li Chengqi smiled, nodded towards Qin Boyue who came out, and closed the door.

Qin Boyue looked at the closed door, frowned slightly, thoughtful.

Gu Wuyu pushed Qin Boyue, and said, "How about it, don't you look like a girl?"

Qin Boyue was speechless for a moment, then turned and left.

Gu Wuyu shouted behind him: "Don't you look like a girl? Don't you look like you? Qin Langjun, Qin Wuyi!"

What responded to him was the sound of Qin Boyue closing the door.

Gu Wuyu let out a long sigh, cupped his hands towards the onlookers in the corridor, and walked into the room consciously.

Early Ming Dynasty in the East.

Li Chengqi was fully dressed and came out of the room.

The habit developed over the years has not been changed even after sleeping in the palace for several months until the sun rises.

He went out and met Qin Boyue head-on.

Qin Boyue didn't expect him to wake up so early, he was a little surprised, and said, "Mr. Wen Xiaolang."

Li Chengqi nodded and smiled, "Mr. Qin Lang."

The two went downstairs side by side.

Li Chengqi looked behind him and said, "Where is Mr. Gu?"

Qin Boyue said: "Mr. Xiao Lang may have to wait another hour to see Shen Yan."

Li Chengqi nodded with a smile and stopped talking.

He is good-looking, with calm eyes, polite and courteous in dealing with people, and has no airs at all. No matter who or what he looks at, he always looks with a smile in his eyes. Even if Li Chengqi doesn't show it deliberately, the invisible sense of oppression It is reflected in his every move, like a natural moat, separating him from anyone else.

Qin Boyue was silent for a moment, and then slowly said, "Be cautious in your words and deeds, and you may have offended Xiao Langjun in your words, but he has no bad intentions. Please let Xiao Lang see that he is dedicated to the country and studies hard. For the sake of decades, don't argue with him."

Li Chengqi tilted her head, as if oh in doubt.

Qin Boyue pursed his lips, his expression was a little nervous.

Li Chengqi bent his eyes and said: "Gu Langjun is free and easy, I like it very much, why blame him? As for Qin Langjun who said that Gu Langjun has studied hard for dozens of years, he has studied for a hundred years. It also depends on his own ability." He looked at Qin Boyue, and joked with a smile, "Fame can be obtained directly, you can't ask for it, Qin Langjun's words seem to make me extra merciful to Gu Langjun."

"Don't dare." Qin Boyue bowed his head, not looking at Li Chengqi.

This person is so young, but his imposing manner is compelling. Most of the people in the middle and high positions are not in line with his age. He has a vague but unspeakable guess in his heart. Just thinking about it, he breaks out in a cold sweat.

But isn't that one who lives in the deep palace and doesn't care about state affairs?

Li Chengqi walked down slowly.

Qin Boyue unconsciously stood behind him.

The young man put his hands on the armrest, turned his head and casually said to Qin Boyue; "Qin Langjun, you are meticulous, and I like it very much."

Qin Boyue said stiffly: "Thank you, Mr. Wenlang, for your appreciation."

Li Chengqi nodded in satisfaction and turned around.

Qin Boyue breathed a sigh of relief when he could only see Li Chengqi's back. He twisted his fingers before realizing that his palm was wet and cold.

The two went down to have a meal, and after saying these few words, Qin Boyue's attitude towards Li Chengqi remained the same, still very gentle, but without any fear of flattery, which made Li Chengqi appreciate him a little more in her heart.

Then he strolled slowly to the study to buy a few books, Qin Boyue noticed that Li Chengqi bought several volumes of story books, everything from the Taoist going down the mountain to slay demons and defending the way, to the son of the Xiangfu and the jewel in the palm of the emperor of a certain dynasty.

Just none of them are useful.

In the afternoon, Gu Wuyu Fang came down from upstairs in high spirits.

The tables and chairs in the lobby of Chunfeng Building were replaced with a whole new set. Li Chengqi was reading below with a book in her hand. On the table were all kinds of cakes and refreshments. Although they were not very delicate, they had a special flavor.

Gu Wuyu took a piece of pea yellow and put it in his mouth, and said vaguely: "Mr. Wen Xiaolang works so hard."

Li Chengqi closed the book and teased: "I thought Gu Langjun was afraid of treating guests and would not come down."

"I don't feel sorry for asking for anyone's money, and I don't feel sorry for giving Wen Xiaolang..." Before he could finish speaking, Qin Boyue who was sitting next to him beat him so hard that Gu Wuyu almost spit out the pea yellow in his mouth. However, Qin Boyue didn't even lift his eyes, just read a book by himself, with a peaceful demeanor.

Gu Wuyu picked up the tea, gulped it down, and passed the pea yellow stuck in his throat. He glared at Qin Boyue, but Qin Boyue didn't pay attention at all. He turned to Li Chengqi and said with a smile: "Wen Mr. Xiaolang, please."

Li Chengqi handed the book to Fengjin.

Feng Jin hesitated to speak, but finally stopped, and went upstairs with the book.

Because it was still dark, there were not many people in the Luming Pavilion, so Xiaoer enthusiastically invited the three of them to go upstairs to the private room.

The second floor is near the window, and under the window is the Crane Lake, with sparkling water, two or three lotus in the lake, a long embankment across the lake from east to west.

The decoration of the private room is plain, there is no gold or stone in the room, only bamboo and wood, just like the piano room of a wealthy family.

Gu Wuyu sat by the window and said, "The last time I came here, I wanted to ask, why is Crane Lake called Crane Lake?"

Li Chengqi asked back, "You guess?"

Gu Wuyu looked at Qin Boyue, Qin Boyue said: "I guess, there is a famous person like a crane who once lived by the lake?"

Li Chengqi said: "Wrong." He met the eyes of Gu Qin and the two, and said, "The name of Crane Crane Lake is because there are really cranes falling into the lake."

Gu Wuyu was really speechless for a moment, "And then?"

Li Chengqi said: "The crane fell to death."

All three were speechless.

Qin Boyue even doubted whether what Li Chengqi just said was a metaphor.

Gu Wuyu was silent for a long time before responding: "This name is very plain."

Fortunately, the venison came up quickly, breaking the deadlock.

The venison is grilled with charcoal all the time below, and the fire is not extinguished all year round. The venison is grilled whenever it is eaten.

At this time, the deer will not be a whole deer, but the belly of the deer. The meat is fresh and tender, fat and thin, and it is roasted golden by charcoal fire. A few refreshing side dishes and two big cups of soup.

The same deer blood soup, the same deer antler soup.

Immediately after the venison was arranged, someone cut the meat into small pieces with a sharp knife.

Next to the venison are some scallops cut into small pieces.

Li Chengqi picked up a small piece of Artemisia annua and said with a smile, "This is really Luming, the apple of the wild."

Gu Wuyu joked, "So this is the origin of the name of Luming Pavilion."

The waiter cut the meat, but he didn't go down immediately, but stood beside Gu Wuyu, and asked softly, "Is this Gu Shenyan Gu Langjun?"

Gu Wuyu tilted his head, neither acknowledging nor denying, waiting for the waiter's next words.

Although he has some fame, but after all, he is only among a few hundred tribute students, and he has not yet reached the point where everyone knows him.

Li Chengqi scooped up a small bowl of deer blood soup and drank it slowly.

The man understood clearly, and quickly glanced at Qin Boyue and Li Chengqi, "I wonder if I can help Gu Langjun to go outside and have a few words with the villain?"

Gu Wuyu took a piece of venison and put it in his mouth. His tongue was numb from the heat, but the smell of the meat went straight to his head. He felt that this person had bad intentions, so he said vaguely: "There is nothing we can't say. If you have something to say, say it right here."

The waiter fell silent.

His eyes flicked on the three of them, and the time spent on the jade around Li Chengqi's waist was longer than that of the other two combined. He smiled and said: "The bet you made with that Lu Langjun last night is no one now. I don’t know, everyone knows.” He walked to the door, poked his head out to look out, and then closed the door, “There are so many people in Beijing who are waiting to see who will come out on top between you and Lu Langjun. .”

Gu Wuyu pushed the sweet sauce towards Qin Boyue, "Sweet." He didn't say a word.

"I don't know how many people can care about a small bet." Gu Wuyu smiled, showing his white and neat teeth, "Could it be that people in Beijing are very free?"

He was so uncooperative that the waiter's face turned red and white, and he gritted his teeth and said with a smile: "Gu Langjun is so handsome, he is not worried at all that he is the one who has lost the face of his ancestors from Daili Temple to Chunfeng Tower." ?"

Gu Wuyu smiled and said, "Don't worry."

After getting this answer, the waiter couldn't go on talking for a moment, and the words were not speculative, so he snorted coldly, turned around and left, "Gu Lang is proud of his talent, and the villain has nothing to say, but you have to understand that no matter how talented you are, there is nothing for you." Fully prepared and safe to come!"

There is a lot of meaning in these words, Gu and Qin looked at each other in surprise, and Qin Boyue subconsciously looked at Li Chengqi.

Li Chengqi drank the soup slowly, "What does this mean?" He seemed puzzled.

The waiter heard that he had the intention of turning around, so he immediately approached Li Chengqi, lowered his voice, and said: "Since Xiao Langjun and Gu Langjun are together, I think you are also a tribute. You are young, and this is probably the first time you have come to participate. For the imperial examination, do you know that the questions of the imperial examination were prepared by the adults long ago, sealed up after polishing, and opened again on the day of the examination?"

Li Chengqi nodded, "I heard it a little bit."

The waiter's voice was even lower, "If you know the problem in advance and make preparations early, wouldn't everything be fine?"

Li Chengqi showed a bit of surprise on his face, "I heard that all the questions of the imperial examination were given by Lantai, how could it be leaked?"

"Mr. Xiaolang, why bother with that?" the waiter said proudly, "Just ask Mr. Xiaolang, do you want to take a look?"

He saw that Li Chengqi was still young and well-dressed, probably a rich and deceitful buyer, since Li Chengqi asked, naturally she couldn't return empty-handed.

Gu Wuyu's betting was a big deal, and the waiter came over to tell Gu Wuyu because he knew about it, and he was expected to buy money for the betting contract, but he never thought he wouldn't even talk to him.

Li Chengqi hesitated for a moment, then slowly shook her head under the waiter's eager eyes, "The exam questions are strict, how could I be here, and..."

And so aboveboard.

Li Chengqi was already angry in her heart, but she didn't show it at all on her face.

It is not the first time that it is so bold.

In broad daylight, upright and bright, confident and fearless!

"Our boss is very capable," the waiter kowtowed upwards, as if he was worshiping the emperor, "Mr. Xiaolang, don't worry about whether the topic is not true. We won't take any money until the matter is completed. After the matter is completed, you don't have to worry about where we will go." If you don’t want to send bribes to the bank, you only need to go to the calligraphy and painting studio we have ordered to buy secondary calligraphy and painting.”

"Won't you get any money before the thing is done?" Gu Wuyu interjected, "Aren't you afraid that we will renege on the debt after the thing is done?"

The waiter smiled, "After the matter is completed, everyone has already been admitted, why should you care about such a small amount of money?"

What's more, this matter cannot be publicized at all. The fraud in the imperial examination will not be settled simply by paying the money.

The young man seemed a little moved, his eyes wandered on Qin and Gu, Qin Boyue immediately said: "Young gentleman, even if you don't win, there is still a future, why take such a big risk!"

Li Chengqi murmured, "My father is seriously ill, and I only have a long-cherished wish to see me enroll in an imperial examination. If it were in his old man's house..." He paused, his words choked up, "How can I have the face to face my ancestors. "

Gu Wuyu sneered, and looked at Li Chengqi with a sharp reproachful gaze, which made the young man avoid his gaze, and he said coldly: "So Wen Lang is such a person, forgive me for not being able to recognize your true face, Don't worry, let's go!"

Qin Boyue seemed to want to persuade him a few more words, but was dragged away by Gu Wuyu.

Li Chengqi sat on the chair in a daze.

The waiter snorted, and said: "Tuttoo!" Then he said to Li Chengqi with a smile all over his face: "Mr. Xiaolang, don't pay attention to such short-sighted people. In the future, Mr. Xiaolang will be awarded the number one prize. Why don't you worry about having no good friends around you?" friend?"

The boy hesitated, biting his lips white.

Seeing this, the waiter said again: "Let's not talk about these things, even if Mr. Gu is good for Mr. Gu, he should buy it. Then Mr. Lu, he paid the money as soon as he came this morning. The little Mr. Gu Langjun, you don’t want to see him kowtow all the way from Daili Temple to Chunfeng Tower?”

Li Chengqi's eyes trembled slightly, as if touched, she said softly after a long while: "Okay."

The waiter immediately laughed, took out the envelope originally prepared for Gu Wuyu from his sleeve, and handed it to Li Chengqi with both hands.

"What's your surname, Mr. Lang?" he asked.

"arts."

The waiter quickly recalled in his mind, and confirmed that there was a young man named Wen in this group of tributes, and he should be the one in front of him.

He nodded and bowed, "The villain is here at Qinglangjun High School first."

……

into the night.

The palace in Changle was quiet, and the palace people walked silently.

Li Chengqi's eyes fell on the envelope he tore open, her face sinking like water.

Qing Ai stood outside and said: "Your Majesty, Xie Hou is here."

Li Chengqi returned to her senses and said lightly: "Please."
