Whose Evil in the Red Chamber

When Huan Qian got the news he wanted from the home of the Minister of War, his expression turned even worse.Wei Zhen's essay test paper, if he were the examiner, would also fail him!

What is going on in Wei Zhen's head?Although Huan Qian did not take Wei Zhen's knowledge examination, he knew Wu Xi's temperament well. If Wei Zhen was really only this little bit, Wu Xi would never let him go to Beijing to take the examination.

"Let's go, I'm going to meet this kid in person!" Huan Qian went straight to the inn where Wei Zhen was staying.

It's a pity that the result made Huan Qian's face darken even more. This kid actually checked out of the guest room and went back home just after the list of the test came out!Could it be that this kid did it on purpose?The more Huan Qian thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong, and suddenly remembered the way that kid looked at Jing Xuan that day, Huan Qian couldn't help showing a thoughtful expression on his face.

Once he won the martial arts examination, won the ranking in the palace examination, and was appointed by the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of War, he jumped from a white body to an official. How many people dream of this, I am afraid that for Wei Zhen, it is still a dream. Not a good thing.Once you have an official title, you will not be free. That kid, I'm afraid he can't let go of someone now, right?

That being the case, what did he do when he came to the capital?Left and right, this martial arts test is not compulsory!Tsk, what a weird guy.Although Huan Qian guessed what Wei Zhen was thinking, he never could have guessed that the death of Zheng Guangan, who is still a big unsolved case in the capital, has an amazing relationship with this "awkward guy" he called, so he naturally couldn't guess it. , Wei Zhen's main purpose for coming to Beijing.

However, Huan Qian thought that even the Shangshu of the Ministry of War on his side was alarmed, but that kid really played him a trick,

He couldn't help being so angry that he couldn't help but write a letter when he returned home, and sent it to Gusu to Wu Xi as quickly as possible.

Jing Xuan was also very surprised by the result of Wei Zhen's martial arts.Being under Mr. Wu's family like Wei Zhen, Jing Xuan thinks that Wei Zhen's situation is the clearest. It should be a certainty that Wei Zhen will succeed in the martial arts exam. This is really unexpected.

Maybe, something happened in the middle?Unable to think of a reason, Jing Xuan only thought that when Wei Zhen returned to Gusu, maybe everything would be answered.At this point, Jing Xuan also put this matter aside for the time being, and put all his attention on the theater troupe, and the birthday of the old lady of the Liu family is coming soon.

This old lady of the Liu family is celebrating her [-]th birthday, and she intends to make a big deal of it, so this post naturally spread all over the Gusu family, Xing'an Hou's Mansion and Lin's Mansion were all invited. It was the second time for Madam Xing'anhou, who lives in a simple way, to go out for a banquet after Ms. Liu's birthday last time. Last time she brought Wang Qi with Jing Xuan, and it was the first time that she brought Jing Xuan into the circle of the aristocratic family in Gusu. inside.

And this time, Jingxuan was also invited, but this post went to the Lin family. Now Lin Ruhai, the head of the Lin family, is in Beijing with his wife, and there are only Mrs. Lin and Lin Jingxuan in Gusu. people, but in the end only Jing Xuan attended.

For this result, the Liu family naturally wanted it. Mrs. Lin was old and would not leave the house easily. The Liu family never thought that Mrs. Lin would come, but this post must be delivered—come and It's up to Mrs. Lin if she doesn't come, but if she doesn't post a post, it's the Liu family's negligence.

Almost all the people attending the banquet were familiar faces. Of course, Jing Xuan also noticed that among some unfamiliar faces, some of them looked at him with unfriendly eyes. Xuan captured the stars.

"The round face in the yellow clothes over there, can fourth brother Chen recognize it?" Jing Xuan asked in a low voice to the fourth son of the Chen family beside him.

Following Jing Xuan's eyes, the fourth son of Chen said: "The one in yellow is the third son of the Sun family, named Sun Hao, and the one next to him in light blue is the fourth son of the Sun family, Sun Che."

The Sun family?So it turned out that Jing Xuan naturally understood why those two people looked at him with a little hostility. The Sun family was Zheng Guangan's maternal ancestor's family before. Now Zheng Guangan ended up like that. It is said that the princess of Nan'an County is in a bad situation in the county palace. It would be a strange thing if the Sun family had no hostility towards him.

The Sun family has no friendship with the Liu family, and if it wasn't for Mrs. Liu's [-]th birthday this time, the Liu family would not have posted a message to the Sun family.It's just that the Sun family actually came, which is really interesting.

Seeing the interest in Jingxuan's eyes, Fourth Young Master Chen couldn't help showing a smile. This Lin Jingxuan is really a smart person, so he continued: "Before the Sun family relied on their family to produce a princess, they were so crazy that there is no limit. I thought it was just a laughingstock to become the No. [-] family in Gusu. This time it was even more ridiculous, because I sent my daughter to Prince Zhongan’s residence to be a side concubine, and then I thought that I was on the rise again.”

No wonder the expressions of the two young masters of the Sun family were still arrogant, and they didn't feel downcast at all. It turned out that there was another "Wang Concubine".Hearing the implication of Chen Sigong's words, the corners of Jing Xuan's mouth couldn't help but twitch.It is no wonder that the Sun family is looked down upon by relying solely on the marriage of the sisters in the family to consolidate their status.

Gradually, the sons of many aristocratic families came to the scene one after another, and those who were familiar with Jing Xuan and others naturally gathered together to chat. The third son Zhao who came late had just entered the table, and the eldest son Liu also came here to socialize. He didn't let go, and for a while, the atmosphere became more and more heated.

The two sons of the Sun family also approached for fun, Sun Hao glanced at Jingxuan, then at the eldest son Liu, but said: "I thought Brother Liu was going to Beijing for the exam this time, didn't you?" Thinking that brother Liu actually gave up this opportunity."

Mr. Liu and Zhang Wenzhi are scholars in the same discipline, so it stands to reason that they will also go to Beijing for this exam.

Seeing that it was Sun Hao who spoke, Mr. Liu's expression became indifferent, but all the visitors were guests, and it was for grandma's birthday. Said: "I can't give up, I just can't do it."

Next to him, Young Master Chen Si said with a smile: "I heard that Master Liu intends to let Brother Liu go to Beijing to study. I don't know if my news is true or not?"

"Uncle's kindness, I naturally accept it." This statement is a tacit consent to Chen Sigongzi's statement.

After hearing this, everyone present had different thoughts in their hearts, but what they said were all auspicious words. At this time, Sun Hao's next words seemed very inappropriate: "Brother Liu is really far-sighted, I believe that with Liu University According to the scholar's advice, after three years, brother Liu will definitely be named on the gold list. It's not like some people who think that they have the title of disciple of Lord Hou and are used to domineering in Gusu city. Everyone in the world is inferior to him. In the end, he is just a frog in a well, just making fun of him."

It was really embarrassing to say this, for a while, everyone who was talking one after another just fell silent, and naturally cursed Sun Hao for his ignorance in their hearts.For the birthday of the old lady of the Liu family, there are not enough auspicious things to say, so what are you talking about?Although everyone knows the grievances between the Sun family and Lin Jingxuan, but when it flares up on this occasion, is the Sun family's mind all muddled?

Jing Xuan was not surprised when he heard this. Sun Hao politely brought out the fact that Mr. Liu did not pass the exam. Feeling that Sun Hao might have other plans, Jing Xuan secretly took care of it.

Unexpectedly, he still overestimated the young master of the Sun family. He wanted to see him without saying a word, which was really boring.Jing Xuan sneered in his heart, the Sun family was really shallow in such a situation where they were quick to talk.

However, Jing Xuan's eyes flashed a glint of coldness. In this life, his temperament has been very restrained. If he followed the temperament that others said that he would retaliate, and the Sun family helped Zheng Guangan, he would definitely not let the Sun family go. .It's a pity that he didn't make trouble for the Sun family, but the Sun family went up to the pole to make trouble for him.

The smile on Wang Qi's face also disappeared. Although he didn't show an angry expression, people who knew him well could feel that this little prince who always liked to joke like a monkey was really annoyed. .

Based on the friendship between Jing Xuan and Wang Qi, even if they didn't speak, they both understood each other's meaning in their hearts. Today is Mrs. Liu's birthday. As a guest, Sun Hao doesn't know the so-called nonsense here. Although they There is a way to prevent Sun Hao from laughing now, but the Liu family's face cannot be ignored.

Therefore, although the two people were extremely annoyed, they did not show it at this time.When Sun Hao saw this, he thought he had told the pain of the two of them, leaving them speechless.

Mr. Liu's complexion has darkened, and he actually provoked trouble at his grandmother's birthday banquet, and even used him as a raft. The Sun family, what a Sun family!

Looking at Jing Xuan and Wang Qi who were suppressing their anger, Mr. Liu secretly remembered it.

"Hey, I heard that the troupe who came to the mansion to celebrate his birthday this time is still the Lichun troupe. They have closed their doors to thank guests for a month. I don't know which play will be produced today?" Third Young Master Zhao changed the subject in a timely manner. It was mentioned that the Lichun troupe, who was going to perform on stage later, was about to be performed.

The smart people present are naturally good at following the good, Mr. Chen has always been the best at this, and he was the first to laugh and said: "I heard you say that their troupe might be disbanded, but I didn't expect it to be so mysterious, no I know what I'm messing around with. Today, we people have gained the favor of the old lady, and it seems that their troupe has a newcomer, and this is the first time to perform on stage."

Immediately afterwards, all the people present naturally changed the topic to the listening to the opera. Just now, Sun Hao finally raised the topic, but it was intentionally forgotten by everyone, leaving Sun Hao's face pale and pale for a while. For a while, it was embarrassing.
