Fu Yu saved a group of poor scholars, and the news spread quickly.

Among the readers, Fu Yu's reputation is unintentionally higher.

However, the more substantial benefit was that Jiang Yue directly summoned Fu Yu and asked him about his views on the reform of the imperial examination.

After such an exchange, Fu Yu knew that the emperor had long been unaccustomed to the fact that the Gaomen family controlled the imperial examination.

Fu Yu returned home and told his grandfather about it in person.

In the past, his words were not important, but now that he conveyed the words of the emperor, no one in the Fu family dared to take it lightly.

After his opinions were contrary to those of his grandfather a few years ago, he was marginalized, consciously or unconsciously.

And now, Fu Yu really feels the importance of the family.

Fu Yu's mood was a little complicated, if it weren't for Wen Qingzhu, he wouldn't have been able to make his grandfather change his mind so quickly.

The Wei family was already in action, and their Fu family was already lagging behind, but if there was a change now, it would not be too late.

In the golden autumn of September, the autumn enclosure is released.

The results of this exam surprised many people, and many scholars from ordinary families and even from poor backgrounds were admitted.

On the contrary, the children of the nobles of the family have fallen off the list a lot, and they used to occupy almost eight layers or so.

But this time, there are only about three layers of children on the list.

Among them, the children of the Wei family are particularly conspicuous, and this time alone, they actually won five lifters.

This is something that has never been heard of before, you must know that the Fu family in the past only won four lifts at a time at its peak.

The Wei family reappeared in everyone's sight.

When Mr. Wei learned the news, he didn't sleep all night with joy.

On the second day, he fell ill.

Wen Qingzhu looked at the secret letter sent by Jiangnan at home.

Peony outside hesitated and walked in.

Hearing the voice, Wen Qingzhu put down the letter in his hand, raised his eyes and asked, "Just say something." ”

"Seventh sister, it's me, Qingmei."

Before the words fell, Wen Qingmei walked into the house with red eyes.

Wen Qingzhu took a blank piece of paper, covered the letters on the table, got up and walked over: "What's wrong?" Did something happen to my aunt? ”

"Yes, it's my brother." As Wen Qingmei spoke, tears fell.

Wen Qingzhu took out a handkerchief, wiped her tears for her, and pulled her into the house: "What's going on, you tell me carefully." ”

After sitting down, Wen Qingmei explained in detail what happened.

Aunt Yue relied on this son and Aunt Wu's fighting method, and in the end both were defeated.

But later, Wen Qinglan got the favor of Concubine Wan, and Uncle Wen was biased towards Aunt Wu.

A few days ago, Wen Qinglan took advantage of the fact that Wen Shuquan and Wen Qingmei were not at home to add ingredients to Aunt Yue's son's medicine.

Wen Qingmei's younger brother has been coughing up blood these days, and he is only a few months old, so he couldn't stay up last night.

Aunt Yue fainted on the spot, Wen Qingmei calmed down and took care of the aftermath, and she was free today and came to Xue's side.

Wen Qingzhu comforted Wen Qingmei, she had also said before that she would let Aunt Yue send the child to her.

But Uncle Wen disagreed, and Aunt Yue had to fight with Aunt Wu Wen Qinglan with difficulty, while carefully protecting the child.

"By the way, why did you suddenly go out?" Wen Qingzhu suddenly asked.

Wen Qingmei was stunned for a moment, showing that her face was a little gloomy and said: "It's Brother Ze's mother, she actually sent Brother Ze two beautiful rooms, one of which is pregnant, if it wasn't for the second sister-in-law to tell me, I wouldn't know." ”

"Second sister-in-law?" Wen Qingzhu was puzzled.

Wen Qingmei quickly wiped away her tears: "It's Xia Feiyuan, now her son is going to be one year old." ”

After hearing this, Wen Qingzhu suddenly realized, and his heart suddenly became strange.

Xia Feiyuan really had some means, and she actually kept her son in the hands of the Wan family.

"Speaking of this, the second sister-in-law has mentioned it to me several times, I want to meet you, thank you personally."

Wen Qingzhu waved his hand: "It's not necessary, if she really comes, I don't dare to receive it." ”

Wen Qingmei nodded, and then said something else: "By the way, Seventh Sister, do you know?" Huang Li, who was next to the sixth sister, became the uncle's aunt and lived with the uncle in the willow garden. ”

"Did you carry your aunt? Isn't the uncle still keeping filial piety now? Wen Qingzhu was stunned, forget about the room, and directly carried his aunt, didn't the Wan family make trouble?

Wen Qingmei suddenly sneered: "Uncle just lifted his aunt, the seventh sister doesn't know yet, the sixth sister and the prince stole and loved, and was caught red-handed by the princess, if this matter is sued, she Wen Qingfang's life is afraid that it will not be guaranteed, she is still in the period of filial piety, and she actually hooked up with the prince and got together, and she herself has not yet decided to marry!" ”

"You said that Wen Qingfang and the prince stole and were caught by the crown princess?" Wen Qingzhu was a little incredulous, Wen Qingfang was not a monkey anxious person.

She has always been calm, if she wants to say that Wen Qinglan is in a hurry, Wen Qingzhu can still understand.

How is this Wen Qingfang-

"When was this?" Wen Qingzhu felt a hint of abnormality.

Wen Qingmei said for a while.

Wen Qingzhu silently calculated in his heart, and his eyes widened suddenly.

Isn't this the last time He Wenru entered the palace?

Could it be that she was completely disappointed in the crown prince and would rather choose to enter the palace to accompany King Jing than stay in the prince's mansion?

It must have been something that the prince had done that made He Wenru unbearable.

He Wenru is a very simple person, and if she can challenge her bottom line, it is generally righteousness.

"I see." Wen Qingzhu nodded, and asked again, "Then what are you going to do next?" "There is a shortage of books

Wen Qingmei gritted her teeth: "Brother Ze has a room, and I don't even care if he has an aunt in advance, but his eldest son must be born by me!" ”

Seeing her firm eyes, Wen Qingzhu understood what she meant, and poured her a cup of tea: "I know what you mean, now it's up to you to see what kind of determination you can make, if I guess correctly, once the filial piety period is over, Concubine Wan will definitely give Wen Qinglan the master, let the King of Chu accept her, Wen Qingfang is only afraid that she will enter the prince's mansion at that time." ”

"My brother is dead, and someone must be buried with him!" Wen Qingmei's eyes suddenly became resentful, and her voice was extremely cold.

Wen Qinghe didn't speak, took a sip of tea, and raised his eyes to look out the door.

It's getting colder and colder.

After the list was released, Jiang Yue was very happy and decided to hold a crab feast.

Invite civil and military officials to celebrate this event.

At the behest of the emperor, Lord Yin Jin invited several representatives to the palace to participate in the banquet.

Three days before the banquet, Mrs. Ning came to the Xue Mansion and brought Ning Ping and Ning Xiu over.

As early as after the list was released, Wen Qingzhu knew that Ning Xiu was in the middle.

He is only sixteen years old this year, which is very rare in the whole capital.

Of course, Uncle Wen finally participated in Qiuwei and passed the exam.

Middle-aged middle-aged middle-aged middle-lift and juvenile middle-aged middle-lift are two completely different concepts.

But Uncle Wen has his own connections, but it is just an opportunity.

Now that this opportunity has come, he has naturally become active and has begun to stay at home very little.

But Ning Xiu is different, he is the youngest of the people in this year's capital lift.

Many people have taken a fancy to his young and promising, and the threshold of the Ning family is about to be broken for a while.

No matter how firm Mrs. Ning is, she can't stop the enthusiasm of these people.

No, Mrs. Ning invited Ning Ping back temporarily.

He has been an official in Los Angeles for several years, and he is still very handy in the scene.

There was a small episode in this crab feast.

The emperor obviously wanted to promote the scholars of the poor family, and among the scholars saved by Fu Yu last time, there were also five or six who were lifted.

But because of their relationship with the Fu family, two of them are only seventeen or eighteen years old.

It stands to reason that he is also young and promising, but he was the first to be excluded by the emperor.

Ning Ping secretly helped Wen Qingzhu do some things, and guessed the reason inside.

This time, he specially brought Ning Xiu over to thank Wen Qingzhu.

Ning Ping was very solemn, took Ning Xiu, and seriously gave Wen Qingzhu a favor: "My brother can have a chance this time, and it is completely because Miss Wen has helped." ”

Wen Qingzhu got up and helped him up: "Lord Ning is polite, no matter what, Ning Zhongju was also admitted by himself, last time, I knew that I was worried about his safety, but I didn't expect to hit him right." ”

After everyone sat down, Ning Ping obviously had something to talk to Wen Qingzhu alone.

Mrs. Ning was very self-aware and turned her head to talk to Mother Ye about needlework, and Ning Xiu also wanted to visit Wen Mingxuan's courtyard in hindsight, so she took Wen Mingxuan away.

Green Tao left with the servants who were waiting.

The room was quiet, Ning Ping's expression was serious, and he looked at Wen Qingzhu very seriously: "Miss Wen, to be honest, Your Majesty values the humble scholar in this lift so much, but I don't feel very good, my younger brother went to the palace this time, and I hope Miss Wen will take care of it more." ”

Wen Qingzhu looked at Ning Ping, and was very emotional.

When she first came into contact with Ning Ping, she thought that Ning Ping was just an ordinary petty official.

Unexpectedly, when he returned to Beijing, he heard about Luo Chan and immediately remembered the incident in Hongyue Tower.

But he was smart and didn't say anything.

It's just that every time Wen Qingzhu asks him for help, he doesn't shirk anymore, doesn't ask more, and does his best in an all-round way.

Once or twice is enough.

After a few times, Wen Qingzhu found out that Ning Ping was a smart person.

She simply spread it out with Ning Ping and said.

Ning Ping was not surprised, but said very calmly: "The prince of Jingyuan Hou seems to be much stronger than the second son of the Li family, but they have been in Los Angeles for many years, and I have also worked in the yamen for so many years. ”

Later, the two tacitly cooperated.

Now Ning Xiu is in the limelight, and even has attracted the attention of the nobles of the family.

Ning Ping was very worried and came over.

Wen Qingzhu nodded: "Don't worry, I will take care of him, although the palace is complicated, it is not a Longtan tiger's den, not to mention that with His Majesty here, there should be no major events."

If something really happens, I have someone who can save him, don't worry. ”

After listening to Wen Qingzhu's words, Ning Ping breathed a sigh of relief: "There are too many people who have come to visit these days, and this is secondary, even the people from the Pei family and the people of the King of Chu have also come, which really scares me." ”

Although Wen Qingzhu didn't say it explicitly, Ning Ping knew that Wen Qingzhu and the King of Chu did not deal with each other.

Wen Qingzhu is a little strange, Jiang Yuancheng wants to have a good eye.

Ning Xiu has a simple temperament, and he is very suitable to be a pure minister in the future.

Even if Jiang Yue has not died yet, when it comes to the next emperor, Chunchen is the one who will not be affected.

Jiang Yuancheng wants to win over, she can understand.

"Are you sure it's from the Pei family?" Wen Qingzhu asked repeatedly, "The Pei family is also a rising star, it was single-handedly raised by the emperor today, and the foundation is unstable, it stands to reason that he should not look down on you poor scholars?" ”

Ning Ping nodded and replied: "I think so too, but that person didn't say that he came at anyone's orders, only that he was from the Pei family." ”

A person suddenly appeared in Wen Qingzhu's mind.

"He's young? Looks about your age? ”

"Hmm." Ning Ping nodded while recalling, describing the appearance and temperament of this person: "His appearance is excellent, I don't look much worse than Fu Yulang, from his conversation, he is also a knowledgeable person, the most important thing is that he does not have the arrogance of a high-ranking family, but is very approachable, but I prefer that he is polite and detached." ”
