Volume 4 Empire Dongsheng Chapter 16 Same Ship
When the two maids rushed over, Xia Lu's face changed slightly, and she was ~ Miss is no longer in the room?"
Mei and Lan, the two maids nodded together: "Back to Madam, this is the letter left by the second lady.
”
"Let's go." Xia Lu was in a bad mood. She was too lazy to read the letter and smiled bitterly at Xia Sheng. "Sister, look, Zhen'er is simply outrageous. I just said yesterday that I wanted to find a marriage for her, and today I will leave without saying goodbye. Could it be that she really wants her aunt to be in her life and she will really anger me to death."
Sheng quickly advised: "Sister, don't be too anxious. Zhen'er has been used to being independent since childhood. Since she doesn't want to get married, let her go."
"How can a daughter's family not get married?" Xia Lu said sadly. Although Xia Wanchun was a general of the court and had to be granted a viscount, he was raised by himself and would obey whatever he said. His daughter left home since she was a child and had not even returned for several years. Other things were fine, but the marriage became her heart disease. It was not that her daughter was not outstanding, but she was too outstanding, so she couldn't find a husband's family, especially when she had a fiancé, but she died of illness before she left her family. What made Xia Lu comforted was that at least her husband was still open-minded and did not let her daughter stay widowed for the Hou family like this.
Sheng smiled and said, "Children and grandchildren: I have good fortune in my children and grandchildren. Since she doesn't appreciate it, what's the use of my sister worrying about her?"
Xia Lu sighed, unfolded the letter in his hand, and put it away immediately after reading the ten lines at a glance. Her daughter had already left home, and she couldn't even worry about it. She had to wait until she got home next time. Fortunately, her daughter only said that she would reply for a few months, which gave Xia Lu a little more comfort.
As it was dawn, on the way to the pier, two young men wearing square scarves, white shirts, red lips and white teeth were rushing slowly. From their outfits, they looked like scholars going to the capital to take the exam, but unfortunately they lacked scholars and backpacks.
These two young scholars are Xia Yunzhen and Huang Wanqiu who left home. Xia Yunzhen knows most of the Qian family's children. Xia Yunzhen doesn't like any of them among the Qian family's children who have not gotten married. But of course, he refuses his mother and can only leave for a while. As for Huang Wanqiu, her senior sister is leaving, so she will naturally not stay in the Xia family.
After a while, Lu Wanqiu couldn't help asking: "Senior Sister, where are we?"
Xia Yunzhen didn't think so; said authentically: "Go to the capital."
Huang Wanqiu's eyes lit up and then dimmed again. She suddenly thought of her own life. If it weren't for the emperor's reasons, she wouldn't have wandered into the temple with her mother. The family would live happily together. She couldn't say that she had married now. But if it weren't for the emperor, she wouldn't have learned enough skills. She knew her senior sister. She traveled around the world and could only be trapped at home and took care of her husband and children. Speaking of which, she didn't know whether to hate the emperor or thank the emperor.
"Junior sister. I'm really sorry that although I started to be licentious today, I later personally led the army to save the country's fate several times. I saved it from becoming a foreign race. The achievements can be traced to the founding kings of all dynasties. The senior sister cannot give you this tone, but no matter how strict the palace is, the senior sister will also seek justice for you."
"Senior sister, it's okay. So many years have passed. Actually, I don't care anymore. Senior sister is a descendant of an official. She has already entered the palace for me. Even if the emperor has been debauchery, I can't let her take risks for me. What's more, the emperor is a promising king now. How can she move lightly?" Even though she said so, a look on Huang Wanqiu's face could not help but show a gloomy look. An emotion that she couldn't tell herself was overwhelming.
Xia Yunzhen looked at her worriedly, and was about to find a word to comfort her. A sound of a carriage came from behind. The coachman shouted: "Does go. Go away."
She looked back and saw the two carriages rushing forward almost side by side, occupying the entire road. Xia Yunzhen couldn't help but frown. Although it was early morning, it was just because of summer. Everyone got up early. There were already many pedestrians on the road. The way of carriages behind obviously forced the pedestrians to the side, which was quite a bit rampant.
This is the best place, Xia Yunzhen was too lazy to care about it, so she pulled Huang Wanqiu's hand and the two walked to the grass beside her with graceful figures. Two carriages quickly passed by them. Perhaps they saw the two of them erect and a "Huh." sound came from one carriage, and the sound was crisp, as if it was the voice of a young woman.
Xia Yunzhen turned her head and looked, and the curtain of the carriage was lifted, revealing the face of a 16 or 17-year-old girl. Seeing Xia Yunzhen looking at him, the girl's face turned red and she quickly lowered the curtain of the carriage. The carriage rolled forward and disappeared in a short while, but the smoke and dust left by the carriage spread around.
"Cough, cough." The four scholars in front of them who couldn't avoid it ate the dust on their faces and coughed heavily. One scholar said angrily: "It's outrageous. It's really insulting our kindness. If I were the magistrate of Songjiang County, I would definitely punish such a person severely."
"Well, Brother Shaofeng, let's wait until you pass the Jinshi this time." Another scholar said with a smile.
“Hmph, no
, I am the first to be a Jinshi this time." The scholar named Shaofeng shouted loudly and was full of strong confidence. After he said this, the other three people were not good at talking about it. If it was certain, it would make the scholar even more proud. If it was negative, it would be a bad thing and would be very taboo before the exam.
The words of several scholars clearly reached Xia Yunzhen, and Huang Wanqiu and the others heard it. Xia Yunzhen just smiled slightly, but Huang Wanqiu couldn't help but "hum." He said: "I'm so arrogant."
The imperial examination can be said to be a real person who crossed a single-plank bridge with thousands of troops and won one hundred. The Ming Dynasty was full of literary style. I don’t know how many famous scholars and scholars turned their heads white. Before the exam, you can’t say that you are a talented person. This person made crazy words before the exam, either he was extremely confident or arrogant.
Fortunately, the two were behind. Huang Wanqiu's hum was not heard clearly by the scholar in front of him, otherwise it would have caused a dispute. However, a scholar still looked back and looked at Xia and Huang. When he saw Xia and Huang, his eyes lit up and he called out: "Are these two brothers who are also going to the capital to take the exam? How about going together?"
Xia Yunzhen shook her head and refused to answer. The other scholars turned around when they heard their companions' questions. When they saw Xia and Huang, their eyes lit up. Jiangnan had been peaceful for a hundred years, and now it is even more clear and clear. Although Xia Yunzhen is skilled in disguise, all women have a love for beauty. They walked in men's clothing, but they did not make much changes to their appearance. With their handsomeness, whether they were seen as women or not, these four people felt good about them. Even the scholar who said that they would definitely pass the imperial examination just now could not help but say, "Looking at the appearance of the two brothers, they are mostly scholars. Meeting is fate, so why should they keep others from thousands of miles away?"
Xia Yunzhen was too lazy to answer, and she used her feet to force her feet and suddenly exceeded four people. Seeing this, Huang Wanqiu hurriedly caught up. The two men were fluttering in the blink of an eye. In the blink of an eye, a scholar tried to catch up, but after walking a hundred steps, he was already breathing. Instead, he was getting farther and farther away from the figures of the two in front. The scholar had to stop. When the other three people caught up, the figures of Xia Yunzhen and Huang Wanqiu had disappeared.
The four of them looked at each other, their faces squirted, and one of them couldn't help but say, "It's amazing, have we met the fox fairy?"
Pu Song was just ten years old at this time, and the Liaozhiyi had not been published yet. However, there have been various fox, fairies, and monsters in Jiangnan. Just now, they were obviously ordinary people, so how could they be so fast? They would naturally think about the monsters.
"Bah, you are a scholar. I don't say anything about the magic power god. It's broad daylight now, where do you get the fox fairy and ghost monster?" The scholar named Shaofeng said, but there was also a hint of horror on his face.
"What happened to the two of them just now?" asked the other person.
The other two shook, with a hint of confusion on their faces. With their knowledge, they would never believe that normal people would go so fast.
"Hehe, master, we are walking so fast. Do you think the four nerds behind will be frightened? "Huang Wanqiu couldn't help but say as she walked out of the inexplicable emotion just now and returned to her previous lively sexual character.
Hearing the tone of his junior sister returned to normal, Xia Yunzhen smiled slightly, slowed down and said, "It's not like being scared, but it's possible for a while. Who makes them ignorant? We obviously refuse and still have to rely on it."
Huang Wanqiu's pace also slowed down. Although they were not tired, they were just not far away along the way. It was always bad if they were too shocking. The two of them talked and laughed. After about a quarter of an hour, they had arrived at the ferry. At the ferry, there were a large ship parked at the ferry. Unexpectedly, there were two carriages parked next to them. A middle-aged man with a medium figure and a hooked nose was directing four servants to carry things on the boat. The girl in the carriage was covered with a gauze on her face and stood in the middle of the boat under the support of a maid. Seeing the two, the woman's eyes lit up and then lowered her head, not daring to look again.
"Two guests, get on the boat, the small boat is about to drive." The ship owner called out.
"Old man of the boat, you have said how long it took to drive, but you still won't drive the boat." As soon as you heard the boss of the boat, someone immediately said dissatisfied in the middle of the boat.
"Hey, right away, right away, I have to wait for this guest to put everything on.
”
Xia Yunzhen and Huang Wanqiu jumped gently and had already boarded the boat gang. The middle of the boat was almost full. Except for some merchants, there were mostly scholars. Most of these people came from wealthy families and carried their servants with them. No wonder they were dissatisfied with the boss of the boat.
"Oh, this guy, you should move things quickly."
"That's right, we don't have to delay our time."
