Chapter 195: Add Fragrance
Leting was born in a poor family and could not afford to spend money, and he had no money to study, so he sold himself as a slave to study. Such a person should envy others when he wanted to study, and even children Nuannuan would think of this.
Why is the first time now?
Leting said: "I was very envious when I saw you studying in front of the Shuangyuan Gate."
Xue Qing said: "Because you can't go?"
First, the students' petition for study and petition were mostly children from powerful families, and not many poor children, and Leting did not go there. Life was no longer easy for them and could not withstand the slightest fright and trouble.
Le Ting said: "In the past, I knew my identity and situation, and I was happy to know my destiny. I didn't feel ashamed or felt sad. I did my best to do my best. If I wanted to study, I would sell myself as a slave to study. I didn't envy other people who could read easily."
Xue Qing nodded. This can be seen from his selling himself as a slave and not caring that he would not be able to take the imperial examination for ten years and that he would have to study.
Leting looked up at the bare branches, sighed lightly, looked back at Xue Qing, and said, "But when I saw you so energetic and unrestrained, I stood by and watched, and I felt very envious for the first time."
Xue Qing smiled and said, "That's not studying, but doing things. You don't have to envy them at all, because people have different things to do and cannot be compared. Just like Nie Zheng, my mother is here, and she is not allowed to be with others. Can you say that he was not a righteous man at that time?"
Nie Zheng, Le Ting looked at Xue Qing for a moment and said, "Strange, you are obviously younger than me, why do I want you to give me some advice on everything?"
Xue Qing said with a serious expression: "Actually, I am just young, but I have lived many years old."
Leting laughed, raised his hand to Xue Qing, turned around and strode away.
A carriage passed by in front, Zhang Shuangtong leaned over to Xue Qing and waved, "Sancilang, are you going home today? Let's go together."
Xue Qing shook her head: "I won't go back, I have to hurry up on my homework."
Zhang Shuangtong laughed: "What are you doing? You dare not go back... I heard that Miss Guo urges you to study every day, for fear that you won't be the top scorer."
This made everyone on the street laugh. The fact that Liu Wuer and Guo Baoer made a bet with Xue Qing had spread throughout Chang'an Prefecture. Although the Xue family never let go, the Liu family bluntly shouted that Xue Qing would let Liu Wuer get married if she failed to pass the exam.
This is even more surprising than Guo Huaichun marrying his daughter to Xue Qing. Chang'an City once again caused a stir, but compared to the Xue family's mother and son who were once ridiculed, this time it was full of envy.
"Then Xue Qing is not ordinary..."
"...written poems to the high officials of the court...it is said that the emperor knew about it..."
"...I have a daughter and I want him to be my son-in-law..."
"Don't dream, people will like you."
The laughter spread out in the streets and noisy, Xue Qing just smiled, Nuannuan held the three food boxes in fun, and asked, "Young Master, which one do you want?
Xue Qing smiled, swung the bamboo stick in his hand, and a clanging sound, inserted it into the corner of the wall in front of the door, and said, "I want to study first." He stepped into the hall.
Zhang Shuangtong laughed and fell into the car. Zhang Liantang held a book in his hand and shook his head, saying, "What's so funny about this kind of thing?"
Zhang Shuangtong said: "Meet an old friend in a foreign land, nominated for the Golden List, and bridal flowers. These are the three great joys in life. Now the red phoenix star is moving, so of course I have to laugh... A cool and heroic lady, and the fair and fair woman in Green Tower, Xue Qing really has no regrets in life." He said laughing.
Zhang Liantang shook his head and said, "It has nothing to do with the moon, there is nothing to be happy about."
As it is, the entanglement with these three women is really not their heart-felt towards Xue Qing. Zhang Shuangtong smiled and stood up and said, "Are you jealous of him? Brother Liantang, I heard my aunt come to match you... The Cao girl in Taiyuan... I don't know how she looks?"
Zhang Liantang said: "I put my studies first and only consider marriage after I passed the Jinshi."
Zhang Shuangtong stroking her hands and laughed: "You are so slippery, and you and the others say this is OK. Forget it... It would be amazing to have a scholar. Then the Cao girl will not wait for you for the rest of her life."
The two did not make significant progress in their studies, and the Zhang family did not place any hopes on the imperial examination with them.
Zhang Liantang also smiled and said, "So, reading is a good thing." After that, he shook the book in his hand.
Zhang Shuangtong reached out and snatched the aisle and said, "What are you looking at?..." He opened it and saw that it was a miscellaneous history, and threw it back with a smile, "These stories are still good, and the saints' words will only be sleepy... Brother Liantang, read it, I will listen."
Zhang Liantang caught Nian and said, "...Yu Rang changed his name and surname to the prisoner. He went to the palace and laid a toilet, holding a dagger in his arms, trying to stab Xiangzi... He was unwilling to do so, painted his whole body, swallowed charcoal and became dumb..."
This kind of story is the most popular for young people. Zhang Shuangtong's eyes are shining and focused and serious. The carriage sways through the streets of Fuxue Palace and heading towards Chang'an City. The death of Zong Zhou's students' study has passed. People in Chang'an City are talking about it and the previous daily life has returned to their parents' Li family. The parents' family are noisy and trivial.
At this time, the crowds of people suddenly split into both sides on the noisy streets of the capital. The strongly armored imperial guards of the Great Zhou, with iron hooves, and their faces were dusty. Behind them were the tired officials, and then several prison vans.
The people in the capital surrounded him curiously, but unfortunately the prisoners in the prison car all had disheveled hair and described their embarrassment as if they were as embarrassed as dead dogs and dead trees.
Perhaps the voices of the onlookers woke up the prisoners, as if they had come from a barren land to the prosperous world. Many prisoners began to move, and one prisoner rushed to the post of the prison car and made a sharp scream.
"...I'm here in the capital...I want to see the Empress Dowager..."
But what responded to him was an iron rod, which accurately hit his mouth. The prisoner screamed and fell backwards, and several teeth flew down under the sunlight with blood. The onlookers echoed.
The prisoner seemed to faint and moved without moving. The people's eyes couldn't wait to fall on the next prison car, waiting for the prisoner's performance.
But unfortunately, the prisoner seemed to be frightened by the soldier's iron rod. He moved and sat up without yelling, but just lifted up his long hair like weeds with his black hands, revealing his eyes.
"I'm in the capital..." he also said, his voice hoarse, but he didn't want to see anyone, just like a countryman entering the city, happy and timid. The people on the street looked at him, and he was also looking at the people on the street, and everyone was curious and excited.
Several men were also watching in front of a window on the second floor of the street. Compared to the curiosity of the people, they were a little clearer.
"...Empress Liao is really pitiful... She finally survived until Lord Zong died, but was interrupted as soon as she stepped forward..."
"...This eunuch is firm in the palace...How can Prime Minister Wang allow it?... He is dead when he seizes the opportunity."
"...then Mr. Qin suffered heavy losses this time... The two most trusted eunuchs in the palace were pulled out all at once..."
The door behind her was ringing while speaking. Several people turned their heads and saw a woman in her thirties walking in, holding a pipa in her hand, showing her identity. However, compared to other prostitutes, she was dressed in a simple manner. However, these people did not dislike her and smiled and greeted, "Miss Jade."
The woman walked to the window with some randomness and asked, "What are you looking at on the street?... Oh, pass the prison car."
Then someone pointed it at her: "That's Liao Cheng."
Everyone knows Liao Cheng's name in the capital. Yu Niang nodded, her eyes fell on other prison vans and said, "Those people..."
A man nodded and said, "It's the murderer who killed Zong Zhou..." He pointed to the prisoner who was holding the railing and looking at each other with people on the street. "It should be the Zhong family's son, Zhong Shisan."
Yu Niang leaned against the window and looked at it. She could see the whole picture clearly from a high place but couldn't see the face of the person in the prison car. The convoy quickly left.
"You can't live anymore." She sighed.
"I can't die yet, Lord Song must be interrogated." The person beside him said, while closing the window to isolate the cold and cold air of early winter, and the room is as warm as spring.
.........
The steps inside and outside the palace gate were chaotic, and the Song and Yuan dynasties were surrounded by a group of people.
"Sir, Liao Cheng and the others have arrived...what should I deal with it?"
"Liao Cheng wants to meet the Queen Mother...Sir, look..."
Upon hearing the inquiry, Song Yuan waved his hand impatiently and said, "Whatever you see, you can just be locked in a death row... It would be great if you can live."
The man obeyed the order and retreated. Another person stepped forward and said, "Mr. Duan asked, "Do you want to see Zhong Shisan?"
Song Yuan paused, pinching his beards with two beards, and his expression seemed to hesitate: "Zhong Shisan... can that scholar from the Zhong family who is powerless and can withstand Duan Shan's interrogation of the murderer?" He shook his hand and said, "I want to meet."
