Qiao Yu nodded and said: "Yeah, your brother said hello today. Tomorrow is an auspicious day. It is suitable for weddings and funerals. He will come to my house to hire him. The date of the wedding has not yet been set, but you You can change your name to sister-in-law first."

Xiaoxue is indeed a person who can have an extraordinary relationship with Qiao Yu, she has a very bright mind, and said immediately: "Is there any money for calling sister-in-law?"

Qiao Yu casually took off the jade pendant from her waist and threw it to Xiaoxue.

Xiaoxue was holding the jade pendant in her hand, and was about to happily call her sister-in-law, Yuan Zanbi couldn't bear it anymore, and said, "What are you doing over the wall?"

Xiaoxue said: "The Orchid Courtyard is too boring, I came out... to get some air, and I happened to see the two of you outside, I wonder why this place is so radiant all of a sudden."

Yuan Zan pen pressed the temple.

"If you two come to see how the Orchid Academy's style of study is, why don't you go out for half an hour and then come back, and save some face for us to sacrifice wine." Xiaoxue joked.

"What's wrong?" Qiao Yu asked.

Xiaoxue said: "Because the fixed product has become an exam, the two of them quarreled, and the sacrificial wine hasn't come yet."

Qiao Yu asked curiously, "What's the fuss about changing the fixed product into an exam?"

Xiaoxue said: "It's a distant relative of Shao Lingfang's family who quarreled with a scholar. I was already arguing when I passed by, and the quarrel is not over yet." As soon as the words fell, the main courtyard suddenly burst into commotion, "Jijiu seems to be coming."

The sacrificial wine did come, but it didn't go directly to the inner courtyard, but came out straight to the carriage.

Xiaoxue and Jijiu met each other's eyes, and the atmosphere was awkward.

Fortunately, the purpose of Zhang Jijiu coming out was not Xiaoxue, but Qiao Yu. He stood in front of the car and said, "Qiao Xiang." Before Yuan Zanbi retracted his head, he was surprised and added, "Master Yuan The two adults are here, do you want to go in and sit down for a while?"

As long as you are not a fool, you can see how perfunctory Zhang Jijiu's invitation is, Qiao Yu nodded and said: "Zhang Jijiu is very kind to invite, the truth is that I can't bear to refuse."

Zhang Jijiu choked for a moment, and said helplessly, "Please, my lords."

It is common for scholars to quarrel with noble children. Zhang Jijiu asked himself that he did not have the virtue of convincing people, so he simply ignored it.

Someone told him that there was Qiao Yu driving outside Lan Yuan, so he came out of the study to meet him.

As Zhang Jijiu walked in with Qiao Yuyuan's hairpin pen, he thought about it: "Qiao Xiang is here today for business?"

Before Qiao Yu could answer, a group of people poured out from the inner courtyard door on the right, and a handsome young man called out, "Jijiu is here! Please Jijiu to uphold justice."

Zhang Jijiu wanted to lead the two of them to the study room, but he didn't want Qiao Yuyuan's hairpin to have a panoramic view of everything, and suddenly felt ashamed.

Qiao Yu asked knowingly, "Zhang Jijiu, what is this in your courtyard?"

Zhang Jijiu apologized and said with a smile: "Young man, it is common to have some disputes on weekdays. Qiao Xiang and Master Yuan laughed at me. Please go to the study first, and you will be there soon after you are dismissed."

Qiao Yu is too obvious. Even if the young man doesn't know anyone else, he can still tell that the beautiful young man in the wheelchair is Qiao Yu. The young man strode forward and said, "Qiao Xiang, the student is Shaoling Fangzhuo. , and ask Qiao Xiang to be a witness for the students."

Qiao Yu turned around and asked with great interest, "What testimony?"

Zhang Jijiu scolded angrily: "Go back!" When he first came, he was full of enthusiasm to cleanse the Orchid Court, and after bumping into the wall many times, he gradually got used to it. He couldn't say anything else about Fang Zhuo, for fear of offending the Fang family of Shaoling.

Fang Zhuo raised his chin and said to the crowd: "Gu Qingzhou, come out, what's the point of hiding inside?" He smiled and pointed to the ground, "Or you are already afraid, and since you are afraid, kneel down and kowtow .”

After coming to Lanyuan for a few days, Xiaoxue has seen four or five quarrels. At first he helped to persuade her, but now she just stands and watches the show. In the past, the two sides quarreled and it was over, but today it is so big.

A young man was pushed out by the crowd, and he said angrily: "Who is afraid? Well, Qiao Xiang is here, in case you lose and don't want to kowtow because of the face of some family. But Shao Lingfang's family is powerful, if you want to rely on it , since someone will help you, I have nothing to say!"

Fang Zhuo shouted: "You dare to insult my family! You..."

Qiao Yu asked with a smile on his face: "Didn't you want the truth to be a witness? Or should I wait for the two of you to finish the argument?"

Fang Zhuo glared at Gu Qingzhou bitterly, who didn't know that Qiao Yu was the remnant of Ning You, so he naturally spoke to these poor children.

Gu Qingzhou said: "Qiao Xiang," he glanced at Yuan Zanbi who was standing behind and didn't know whether he was thinking or looking blankly. Scholars will definitely beat the people of the family, regardless of others, just me and Fang Zhuo, whoever ranks lower in the exam this time, whoever kowtows from the Lanyuan to the South Gate, will have his name, surname, and place of origin written in ink on the back."

Zhang Jijiu hurriedly said: "Mr. Qiao is busy with affairs, so I don't have time to mess around with you. Today's matter is not good for the supervision of the subordinate officials. Please save some face for the subordinate officials in front of Your Majesty."

Fang Zhuo didn't like Zhang Jijiu's behavior the most, he almost humiliated the Wei officials, and sneered, "It's already presumptuous for a person of humble origin to be an official in the court, and dare to have many extravagant demands," the young man proudly said. "If there were not these short-sighted people in the officialdom, the atmosphere would be far better than it is now."

Qiao Yu raised his eyebrows.

Yuan Zanbi said lightly: "In the 15th year of Hongzhou, the first emperor, he began to appoint scholars from poor families as prime ministers. Since then, it has become more and more common for scholars to be officials. Now that your Majesty is in power, it is nothing new."

Fang Zhuo suddenly realized what he said, his face turned pale.

Qiao Yu didn't expect him to speak, and laughed out loud.

The implication of Yuan Zanbi's words could not be more obvious. It is the emperor's meaning to be an official from a humble family. Does the matter of officialdom also count on the emperor?

Qiao Yu looked at Zhang Jijiu, whose face was already flushed, and said: "The truth is from a lowly background." He could pronounce the word lowly, with a strange ambiguity. If you don't express your opinion, it will be considered partial, so the truth cannot testify for the two of you."

Gu Qingzhou was a little disappointed, and said: "The student understands." He turned to Fang Zhuo, "The bet still counts, how about it?"

Fang Zhuo said: "Naturally, I have to add one more thing. If you are awarded an official, the loser has to kowtow from the gate of the palace to the Lanyuan, and then from the Lanyuan to the Nancheng Gate. You will not refuse."

Gu Qingzhou said: "OK."

Finally, Zhang Jijiu couldn't bear it any longer, and said, "Come on! It's not shameful enough! Go back! Fang Zhuo, Gu Qingzhou, you two copy the court rules a thousand times each!"

Gu Qingzhou said: "The exam is coming soon, and the students want to copy after the exam."

Zhang Jijiu said angrily: "Shut up, go back!"

Qiao Yu said lightly, "Lord Jijiu, calm down."

Zhang Jijiu said: "Don't dare." He sighed, "This is really... a rare visit for adults, but let adults see these."

Qiao Yu shook his head and said: "I know Zhang Jijiu's hard work. If the truth is Zhang Jijiu, I am afraid that I will be even more devastated and have no way to start."

Zhang Jijiu was overwhelmed by flattery, and said: "Mr. Qiao is too modest, he is really incompetent as an official."

Just when Yuan Zan pen opened his mouth, he remembered that there was another person beside Qiao Yu.

Although His Majesty is trying his best to maintain the balance between the court and the central government, but the crown prince is close to his mother clan, and everyone in the court and the public knows, how many years can this balance be maintained?

"Master Yuan still has official duties, so he will stay soon." Qiao Yu said.

Zhang Jijiu said: "My lords, please."

He watched the two get into the carriage and sighed heavily.

Yuan Zanbi does not look similar to Yuan Zanying, but after all, they are of the same family and are half-brothers. Seeing Yuan Zanbi always reminds people of Yuan Zanying.

He couldn't help but think, if the Ningyou Party members hadn't rebelled back then, what would the state of the court be like now?

He turned around and went back to the main courtyard, where there was still an inscription of Ning You against the party.

The sycamore leaves were blown by the wind, and a leaf turned and fell on the stone tablet.

It's just all going on...

Qiao Yu laughed for a long time on the carriage.

Although Yuan Zanbi didn't understand why he was smiling, but based on his understanding of Qiao Yu, he didn't intend to ask.

Qiao Yu looked in a good mood, even better than when he saw Yuan Zanbi's red eyes and tears.

Qiao Yu looked at Yuan Zanbi, and asked in a leisurely tone, "Master Yuan."

"Yes."

"Master Yuan came from a family."

"Yes."

"Master Yuan, you can know that the aristocratic family is united in the same spirit, and they share weal and woe in state affairs."

Yuan Zanbi was puzzled and said, "I know."

Qiao Yu said: "Since you know, why did your lord speak up just now?"
