Sumino life

The top three in the new department were all appointed officials, and the whole court was fine, so they simply dispersed early. Jinxie was used to being alone, and now she doesn't need to be an official in Anyang, walking briskly in front alone, and seeing other officials is just a matter of time. nod.

"Master Jin." Someone seemed to be shouting from behind, Jinxie didn't listen carefully, and continued walking without stopping.

"Brother Jin stay here."

Returning to Jinxie heard the truth, stopped and turned around, the second-class Jin Ke who was also dressed in red robes, and Mr. Cen Yan Hua Cen, who was appointed as the Shaoqing of Dali Temple.

"Lord Cen." It wasn't that Jinxie was deliberately ignoring people, it was because he had just become an official and was not used to hearing the voice of Lord Jin.

"Brother Jin is walking too fast, Cen is easy to chase." Cen Yanhua quickly walked in front of Jinxie, the palace prohibits the ministers from walking quickly, if Jinxie hadn't heard Cen Yanhua's voice clearly in time, Cen Yanhua might have to do it because of Xiao ran to chase someone and was escorted out of the palace by the guards.

Cen Yanhua is a scholar, and when he walked in a hurry, sweat broke out on his forehead, Jinxie smiled and took out his square handkerchief from his sleeve and handed it over, "Master Cen, wipe it off."

Cen Yanhua was also polite, smiled at Jinxie, took the handkerchief and wiped it.

"What is Master Cen looking for with Jinxie?"

Cen Yanhua wiped off the fine sweat from his forehead, and held the handkerchief in his hand. It is not easy to return the used handkerchief directly, so he had to plan to return it after washing himself.

"No, it's nothing serious, I just want to talk to Brother Jin, I wonder if Brother Jin would like to show you face?"

Among the top three in Jinke, only one is from the imperial city. Cen Yanhua, the second place in the ranking, is not from Anyang just like him. The difference is that he is not well-known in Jinxie, while Cen Yanhua is a well-known talent in southern Hunan.The two only exchanged names on the day they entered the examination room, not to mention deep acquaintances, even casual acquaintances.However, Cen Yanhua is a good person, with a delicate mind and good conduct. If he wants to make friends with him, Jinxie will naturally not refuse.

Jinxie chuckled, raised her hand and said, "Brother Cen is serious, please."

Cen Yanhua also smiled, "Brother Jin, please." The change of address in a few sentences shows the sincerity of each other.

The prince Longyou walked behind, looking coldly at the two people who were chatting happily and drifting away.

"His Royal Highness." Someone chased after him, wearing a court uniform embroidered with a golden pheasant pattern, walked up to the Crown Prince and straightened his official crown, leaned over and said, "Thank you, Your Highness, for saving your life."

Long You glanced expressionlessly at the servant of the Ministry of Justice who was chasing up, and continued walking, "Help me? The crown prince didn't save your life. Don't thank the wrong person."

News came from the inner palace that His Majesty intended to depose a servant to make room for the new champion, and among the six departments, he is the minister of the Ministry of Punishment who is most likely to be dismissed. Who knows what will happen today?

Those who can become a second-rank servant are all human beings. If His Royal Highness hadn't made it clear, he would not be so safe and sound.Just because he is a human being, the servant of the Ministry of Punishment immediately understood the attitude of His Royal Highness, "It's the official's intention that is wrong, thank you for your correction."

Long You didn't reprimand him, just said: "Since I got the chance to stay in the court, I will clamp my tail to the prince. Good luck will not be given to you every time."

"Yes, yes, yes." The servant of the Ministry of Punishment hurriedly nodded and bowed in response.

I just spoke a few words with the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, and the number one scholar in Jinke had disappeared, and he did not greet anyone else, and His Highness the Crown Prince left on his own.

Cen Yanhua felt much more refreshed after leaving the imperial palace, and the clear eyebrows on his face softened a lot, "Brother Jin, I will return this square handkerchief to you after I wash it."

Jinxie smiled, wanted to say it's fine, just throw it away, but then remembered that it was her personal belonging, and said: "Okay, I'm sorry to trouble Brother Cen."

"Brother Jin is so polite, it makes Yan Hua feel embarrassed."

Jinxie smiled helplessly, looked up to see the teahouse on the street, and asked Cen Yanhua: "Brother Cen, will you go to the teahouse with me?"

Cen Yanhua had this in mind, followed Jinxie to the tea house, asked for a private room and ordered some tea.The little second hand quickly served tea to the two young talents in bright red official uniforms.

"Take it easy, both of you." Xiaoer saluted the two of you respectfully, even closing the door lightly before leaving.

There was no one around, Cen Yanhua took a sip of tea, pondered for a moment, and made up his mind: "Brother Jin has a great talent for governing the world, but unfortunately the holy will is unpredictable, so he transferred Brother Jin to another place, but let me stay with Brother Fang instead. In Anyang, I feel a little uneasy in my heart, which made Brother Jin laugh."

The Brother Fang that Cen Yanhua was talking about was exactly Fang Chengyun, the Tanhualang of this year's scientific examination, and the son of the Minister of the Household Department.

Cen Yanhua is a good character, he doesn't show what he thinks on the surface, but when he speaks, it's easy for people to guess his intentions. The Holy Majesty just took a fancy to his upright and upright character, sealed him as the second place, and They sent people to Dali Temple.

There is still something that Jinxie doesn't understand now, Cen Yanhua's reason for coming to him is not because he feels uneasy, but he clearly came to comfort him with good intentions.After all, the No. [-] picks stayed in the imperial city, so the No. [-] scholar was sent abroad, and someone with a higher spirit would not be able to stand it.

"Brother Cen, you have earned your current position by accumulating bit by bit by yourself. Brother Cen, the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, deserves it. As for me, I have no objection to the Holy Majesty's decision. I can return to Lin'an where I grew up. , Jinxie is so sweet."

Cen Yanhua also felt that he was being narrow-minded. This new champion is clearly a person with a clear mind, "Brother Jin's heart is what Yan Hua looks up to. If it were Yan Hua who experienced this change of Brother Jin, I'm afraid he would be discouraged. It's been a long time."

Hypotheses that haven't happened are just empty talk, Jinxie doesn't judge, just said: "Everyone has his own way of life, and also has his own chance, Brother Cen, don't belittle yourself."

"It's not that Yan Hua is self-deprecating. Brother Jin's open-mindedness is indeed beyond the reach of Brother Fang and I."

Brother Jin smiled decently, changed the subject and sipped tea with Cen Yanhua.

Brother Fang Chengyun, whom Cen Yanhua mentioned twice and three times, is kneeling in the Fang family's ancestral hall at this moment, standing in front of him is his father Fang Shangshu.

"Being a father is really a waste of teaching you. Before the scientific examination, I swore that I will be in the top two this time. What's the result?"

"Cen Yanhua, a famous talent in southern Hunan, let it be fine if you failed the exam, but let a little-known Jinxie win the first place. Before that, my father worked hard for you in order to let you enter the Imperial Academy. In the end, you fell into the official position of the Imperial Academy. .”

"Sacrificing wine and offering wine, it sounds like a senior official from the fourth-rank Anyang, but it's a teacher who sounds bad. It really wasted my years of hard work."

Fang Shangshu reprimanded a group of servants, and pointed their noses at the ancestral hall to teach his son, Fang Chengyun knelt upright to listen to the training, and finally said in a deep voice: "Yes, Chengyun was taught, he failed his father's high expectations, Chengyun is guilty. "

"Hmph," Fang Shangshu turned around, "Since you know you were wrong, let's kneel properly today."

"Chengyun obeys."

The door of the ancestral hall was closed again and again, Fang Chengyun knelt on the cold floor, his hands in his sleeves were clenched tightly, and he closed his eyes trying not to reveal his true emotions at the moment.

Jinxie!Why!

After being defeated by Cen Yanhua, Fang Chengyun was convinced. He had been to southern Hunan, and he had seen Cen Yanhua's hard work in reading and the articles he wrote. , he thought that this time Cen Yanhua would be ahead of him.

But Jinxie is different. He is different from those who passed the children's examination and the provincial examination. He was recommended by the hermit Confucianism. Examinee, how could Fang Chengyun be convinced?

Even though Jinxie's articles in the scientific examination won the favor of the Holy Master and the Grand Scholars, Jinxie shined even more in the palace examination. Because he was different from others, Fang Chengyun always kept this in his throat.

But fortunately, Jinxie offended His Highness the Crown Prince and sent him to Lin'an. Fang Chengyun felt much better because he didn't have to see him in the imperial city.

For Fang Chengyun, a son of an official family, it is not difficult to know that Jinxie's official position is the work of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Not only that, after Fang Chengyun knelt in the ancestral hall all night, news of Jinxie's offending the Crown Prince has already spread to the residences of all the dignitaries. , Some people are happy to see the success, some people sigh with regret.

If you offend His Majesty, you may have a chance to be promoted and come back in the future. If you offend the prince, the future emperor, you may be in that position for the rest of your life. If you are more unfortunate, you will be demoted.

The wind spread in Anyang, and Jinxie's book boy, Jinli, heard it when he went shopping in the street, and hurried back to ask his adults: "My lord, something happened, something happened."

Jinxie was lying on his back on the couch, holding a folding fan in his right hand and covering his face with a thick book in his left hand, when he suddenly heard the bluffing of the jin carp, he slowly moved the book down, nodded and said: "Jinxie Li, your adult screaming makes me feel uncomfortable, and what happened to make you sweat? Wipe yourself off first."

His level of calmness could not be described as careless, Jinxie did not believe that any major event would happen to him.

Koi picked up his sleeve and wiped his sweat indiscriminately, and hurriedly said: "My lord, everyone outside is saying that you got this official position this time because you offended His Highness the Crown Prince."

"What?" Jinxie was still lying on the couch, threw the book in his hand onto the low table in front of the couch, took the folding fan with his right hand and placed it on the top of his forehead, and said faintly: "It's really like this."

Although there was this speculation before, Jinxie didn't understand, how did he offend the prince?He never speaks indiscriminately about people in the imperial city, let alone His Highness the Crown Prince, but he met him once in the street yesterday. What chance does he have to offend the future Ninth Five-Year Lord?

"Oh, my lord, since you know the whole story, why do you still look so calm!" Koi said angrily.

Jinxie sat up slowly, unfolded the folding fan and shook it lightly, and asked her book boy with a smile, "What does Jinxi think about me?"

"My lord, go to the East Palace to visit His Royal Highness, the koi will prepare something for you."

This visit was really high-sounding, and it was obvious that he was going to make amends to the prince. Offending the prince is like losing his future. I don’t blame the koi for planning this for him, but...

Jinxie closed the folding fan, and knocked on the koi's head, "Stupid, your lord is also the champion of the gold department, how can you go to pay for the prince before he takes office? He is the prince, I really want to embarrass your lord and me , what's the use of making an apology?"

"But..." Jinyu rubbed his head thinking but, Jinxie greeted his head again.

"But what? No, but, well, you go and pack your things. Except for the few things I mentioned to you last time, go and see if there is anything suitable for the lady, buy some, and we will return to Lin'an after the paperwork is ready in two days. gone."

Koi touched his head, pursed his mouth and said yes, he thought, there must be no one with a bigger heart than his own adults in the world.
