The husband is the future chief [infrastructure]

Jiang Yuan's face was ugly, he didn't take a sip of the dinner that was supposed to be good.

He frowned tightly, his eyebrows were sharp, and he slapped the table with his big hand, causing everyone in the room to tremble suddenly.

"No one of you told me what happened to Ayu. Do you think I let others bully my son because I have been away from home for many years and have not asked about the affairs of Beijing?"

Jiang Yuan made a big fuss, Ning'an Hou is his father, he can't say anything when he is filial piety.

With red eyes, he resisted the shock and grief, and said to Jiang Zhong: "Brother, since Yun'er passed away, my heart is ashamed and I seldom go home. Ayu has been asking you to take care of me. I know that sister-in-law, you can help educate her." Yu worked hard, so every year I send you my salary. I also have the best fur I get at the border every winter, and I have people bring it back to you. Now you tell me that Ayu is dead now!"

Jiang Zhong was at fault. After all, his second brother left his son in their care before he left. Over the years, relying on his military achievements outside, he earned enough face and gave him a strong backer. Stand firm in the hall.

But even so, being said so in front of others by his younger brother made him very uncomfortable.

Jiang Zhong's expression was serious, his lips were tightly pursed, before he could speak, Dafang Liushi suddenly spoke.

"Second brother, although Li'er is Li'er, that's not what he said. Ayu was so young when you left, and we raised him carefully. For so many years, your elder brother and we But I'm not sorry for you at all.

I know that this matter about Ayu made you feel uncomfortable, but we did our best and sent people to search for it along the way, but we couldn't find it after several months of searching.Are you blaming your elder brother and me for what you just said? "

Liu's speech was impeccable, and while expressing that it was not easy for her to raise Jiang Yu, she also accused Jiang Yuan of being rude to her elder brother.

Jiang Zhong closed his eyes, then stood up and said, "I was the one who was impulsive, but I will find out about Ayu."

Hearing from his sister-in-law about the process of Ayu's disappearance, he felt that there were many doubts. Now is not the time to blame anyone, the most urgent thing is to get his son back.

After Jiang Yuan finished speaking, even the old man Ning Anhou went out without saying a word, and the meal broke up unhappy.

After Jiang Yuan left, the old man also excused himself that he was unwell and went back to his room to rest.

The Dafang family, as well as the close mothers and maids were left in the house.Jiang Zhong's face was serious, Liu Shi glanced at him, the veil underneath was twisted into a ball in her hand, she whispered: "Master—"

Jiang Zhong didn't look at her, but looked at the nurse and maid next to her, "You all go out first."

After the others went out, only Jiang Zhong and Liu Shi were left in the room.

Before Liu Shi could speak, Jiang Zhong suddenly slapped her backhand, and Liu Shi fell to the ground, his eyes filled with tears of shock and grievance, and said: "Master, what did I do wrong that you want to hit me like this? "

Jiang Zhong gave her a cold look, "You know what you did wrong."

Liu Shi laughed when she heard the words. She stood up from the ground, dusted off the dust on her dress, and said softly: "Master, don't you know what I am doing? That is all with your acquiescence. Why are you doing it now?" Blame it on me? Besides, master, don’t forget, who am I doing this for!”

"you!"

With a complicated expression, Jiang Zhong took a deep look at her, and then left with a flick of his sleeves.

No one knew what happened in the house. Liu Shi tidied up her expression and went back. She had to go back and apply ice, before it swelled up, she must not let others see it.

After Jiang Yuan went back, he recruited his lieutenant Jiang Cong, and asked him to find more people to find his son, and then contacted Jiang Feng, the third younger brother who was far away in Yishan Academy, and asked him to help look for him.He also wrote a letter to his old friend on the southwest border asking him to help find it.

Jiang Ziyan didn't know anything about the situation in the Beijing Zhonghou's Mansion. Now that the mansion exam was over, it meant that Lin Zhao had finished the exam, but they couldn't leave now, and they were going to go back after seeing the results of the case.

It was only three days before the crime happened, and Cheng Yi lived in the small courtyard that Jiang Ziyan rented for the past few days.

Two days before the crime was committed, Lin Zhao and the others looked extremely calm on the surface, but they were actually a little nervous in their hearts.

After all, he is only thirteen or fourteen years old. Even if he is usually calm and mature, he will still feel a little nervous at this time.

If they pass the government examination, they are Tongsheng, which means that they have obtained the qualifications for the imperial examination in the future.However, the level of Guangtongsheng can wipe out many people every year, and some people have gray hair and are still taking the Tongsheng test.

After going through this difficult day or two, the day of the crime finally ushered in.

Cheng Yi got up early in the morning. After dinner, Lin Zhao went to review his books as usual. Cheng Yi saw that he was not in a hurry, and said, "Azhao, why are you not in a hurry? Today is the day when the crime will happen. Let’s go early, and when it’s late, there will be more people.”

After reading the collection of poems and prose, Lin Zhao said, "I know, don't worry, it's probably because we can't escape."

Here Lin Zhao is not in a hurry, but Jiang Ziyan is in a hurry. He looks very much like his own child checking his grades after the college entrance examination, and said, "If you don't dare to go to see the crime, I will take Changlin to see it."

"There's nothing to dare to see, let's go together."

The yard Jiang Ziyan rented was still some distance away from the government office. When they arrived, it was as Cheng Yi said, there were already many people surrounded by three circles outside the government office.

The results of the government examination will be written on the long case in the form of posting names, and the rankings will be arranged horizontally.

After waiting for a while, I suddenly heard a gong, and a few people came out of the government office with a long scroll and spread it on the wall, and the people around them began to squeeze forward, trying to see if there was their own on the long scroll. name.

Jiang Ziyan was squeezed left and right, and soon he couldn't see Lin Zhao and Changlin standing beside them.

They were pushed apart by the crowd.

Jiang Ziyan raised his face on tiptoes and tried to find them in the crowd. It was crowded here, and it would be bad if there was a stampede.

He anxiously looked left and right in the crowd, he was pushed back and forth, one of his feet lost his footing and staggered, suddenly a strong arm wrapped around him on the back of his waist, he looked back, it was Lin Zhao.

"Brother, be careful, don't fall."

Jiang Ziyan didn't pay attention to the hand on his waist that was tightening him a little bit. Seeing Lin Zhao, he finally felt relieved.

"Why are you alone? Where are Chang Lin and Cheng Yi?"

"They should squeeze to the front to watch the incident. Let's not squeeze forward and wait for them to the side."

"it is good!"

Lin Zhao held Jiang Ziyan's waist and stepped back step by step. Because of the crowd, Jiang Ziyan leaned tightly into Lin Zhao's arms, his movements intimate and ambiguous, "Brother, don't worry, I will protect you."

Jiang Ziyan's height only reached Lin Zhao's chin now, and at this moment his whole body was clinging to him, and he suddenly felt that this posture was indeed a bit strange.

But the crowd was too crowded, he could only walk by Lin Zhao like this, and it took a while for the two of them to come out.

After they came out, the two stood in the open space on the side. Jiang Ziyan let out a sigh of relief. He was so squeezed that he couldn't breathe just now. He didn't expect that there were several times more people when the crime happened than when the exam was entered.

"Brother, your ears are red." Lin Zhao pinched Jiang Ziyan's ears with one hand at some point, and said softly.

"Oh, maybe it's because it was too crowded and hot just now." In fact, his heart still beats a little faster now, but Jiang Ziyan, who has never been in love before, attributed it to the fact that he was squeezed in the crowd just now.

Lin Zhao did the intimate action of pinching his ears very naturally, and Jiang Ziyan didn't realize what this behavior meant at all.

The people in the front row had already seen the rankings, and from time to time someone in the crowd shouted loudly, "It's out, it's passed!

After a while, Jiang Ziyan heard Chang Lin's voice.

While struggling to squeeze out of the crowd, Chang Lin shouted: "Lang Jun! Out, out, young master is hit!"

When he came out of the crowd with great effort, he was out of breath, found Jiang Ziyan and said excitedly: "Mr. Lang, I saw it. The first one on it is the young master's name!"

"Really!" Jiang Ziyan was surprised and then surprised, "Azhao, did you hear that, you got the first place in the exam again!" He hugged Lin Zhao into his arms happily, "You are so good! You have won two cases. First, our Ah Zhao is awesome!"

Lin Zhao's ears were reddened by Jiang Ziyan's praise, and he said modestly, "The main reason is that the topic is simple."

Changlin said again: "I also saw Cheng Langjun's name, I counted it, it seems to be No. 20."

That means that he and Cheng Yi both passed the government examination, successfully obtained the title of Tongsheng, and qualified to take the imperial examination.

Then there is the courtyard examination, which is held twice every three years, and those who pass it will be awarded the title of scholar. According to the law of this dynasty, scholars are not required to pay taxes.

The time for the hospital exam is in August, and Lin Zhao can choose to take the exam this year or wait a year for the exam.But now it is April, and there are still four months before the college exam. He has enough time to review, so he will definitely participate in this year's college exam.

Jiang Ziyan was immersed in joy when he suddenly heard a familiar voice. He turned his head and saw that the person standing not far away was Fu Ling.Today's incident happened, and he also came to see the list.

Just when he was looking at Fu Ling, Fu Ling turned his head to look at him, and his eyes met.

Fu Ling said a few more words to the students who were talking with him and walked towards Jiang Ziyan.

"Brother Jiang, you're here today to watch the case!"

Jiang Ziyan smiled, "Yes, but because there were too many people, I couldn't get in. How did Brother Fu do in the exam, did you see your name?"

Fu Ling said: "Oh, not yet, I was squeezed out too, I'm going to wait until there are fewer people—" Look at it.

Before he finished speaking, a young man squeezed out from the crowd and rushed to Fu Ling at the fastest speed, and said in a clear and crisp voice: "Master, I saw that your name is ranked fourth. The adults will be very happy to know about it!"

Although Fu Ling's father is the magistrate of Linzhou, he is not in charge of reviewing the answer sheets of this government examination. In addition, He Zhang is a rigid man who abides by the rules. He did not disclose anything to Fu Yuan after the ranking was made. Transcripts were posted.

Jiang Ziyan didn't expect Fu Ling's grades to be better than Cheng Yi's, but just now the boy called him Young Master, and said Sir...

Seeing this situation, Fu Ling knew that he couldn't hide his identity. In fact, he didn't intend to deceive Jiang Ziyan and the others at the beginning, but he was afraid that they were a trap set by his stepmother, so he was a little more cautious, but he never had a chance to explain. .
