[Although it is more than ten minutes late, there are 5200+]

The same day, early in the morning.

"Everything has been checked? Then let it go!"

Following a shout from the flag officer leading the team, several patrolmen moved out of the way, and several riders rode out of the west corner gate of Rongguo Mansion. The leader was wearing a green official robe, his body was as long as jade, his face was like a silver basin, his eyes were

Ruo Langxing, anyone who sees him will say "what a good little official".

This person is none other than Jia Baoyu.

Rongguo Mansion has been under siege for more than half a month. Although the access control is getting looser and looser, it has not been lifted yet. Jia Zheng and others are worried about this. It coincides with the graduation ceremony of the Engineering School on the first day of June. As a rule, Jia Baoyu is also given this opportunity.

The official of the engineering school issued a notice.

Jia Zheng discussed it with Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang, and thought it was a good opportunity to test the situation, so he reported the matter to the City Patrol Department, and the City Patrol Department agreed after deliberation.

Hence Jia Baoyu’s trip today.

Before galloping out of the house, he originally had a look of reluctance, but when the horse rode down the street, the young man's high spirits of getting out of the prison finally got the upper hand. He clamped the horse's belly under his crotch and shouted repeatedly.

, it feels so satisfying to ride the horse and whip the whip.

He was released this time mainly because Jia Yuanchun made a comeback in the palace, and secondly because he relied on Gong Xue to sacrifice wine to burn someone's face.

Jia Baoyu also secretly explained that this person was Qin Che [Cong Qipin], the registrar of engineering studies. Although he also had the title of civil servant, he used to be the secretary of the Department of Affairs of the Ministry of Industry. Later, he was recommended by Jiao Shun and was promoted to the registrar of engineering studies.

.

Jia Baoyu took a closer look and immediately recognized the person in front of him. He couldn't help but stare and said: "You are..."

Li Guisheng was afraid that he would simply turn around and run away, so he did not dare to rush him, so he secretly called on a few boys to block the way back.

He counted them one by one with his fingers. Except for Jia Zheng, his biological father, no one close to him in the family was left behind.

He paused for a moment before speaking, then pulled off the helmet of the soldier beside him, and said: "Cover your eyes with this helmet, open the book, point at a word, and then copy it and the foreign numbers next to it.

.”

Li Gui followed closely behind, also smiling brightly. As long as his second master followed Uncle Jiao and pretended to be powerful, he could avoid a lot of embarrassment - and most importantly, he no longer had to worry about him suddenly becoming hysterical and escaping.

Although the work-study students didn't know why, they all secretly breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that they were just asked to point out the text. At that moment, someone volunteered to take the lead, stepped forward, blindly selected a text according to Qianhu's instructions, and copied it on the white paper next to him.

.

Zhao Yan smiled contemptuously at him, took out a piece of paper from his sleeve, held it carefully in his hand and said: "The so-called telegraph message is the decree sent by the Holy Emperor of Nature with the power of thunder and lightning."

What does this mean?

Although everyone did not believe that he dared to kill a court official, no fool would jump out to provoke him, so there was silence on and off the stage, with only the ticking sound of the telegraph machine remaining.

Only then did Baoyu regain his energy.

Dong Xun listened attentively and recorded groups of numbers. Then he opened the booklet and compared it. Finally, he stood up and said to the Qianhu: "The Holy Emperor ordered Chen Qianhu to send the telegram immediately."

The original was brought back to the palace for comparison."

Shi Xiangyun smiled mysteriously and said: "Second brother, there is no need to ask now. You will understand the truth by then."

Everyone on the left and right followed the same example, and soon everyone on the playground was on their knees.

Qingwen snorted and stood side by side with Cuixi behind Shi Xiangyun.

"You, you...Sister Yun?!"

"Shh~"

Jia Baoyu didn't care at first, but when he heard Li Gui mention Mingyan, his face suddenly darkened a lot.

If other princes and grandsons had gone through this, they might have developed the ambition that "a man should never lose power for a day", but Jia Baoyu's thoughts were not there.

Many people immediately recognized it as the cable that the work-study students had been ordered to lay in recent days. Because they were so impressed by the lighthouse, everyone thought it was used to light the lamp, but now they know it has another purpose.

But he said that a group of people had just arrived at the temporary viewing platform and were preparing to go to a separate seat under the guidance of a dedicated person. Suddenly they heard someone on the rostrum roaring: "What? He went to the palace to meet the saint. At this time, he went to the palace to do something."

What? Didn’t he decide the time when the ceremony would start?!"

"Also, the third sister has been very busy lately, and I can't help her much. I can only choose two lovely things for her, and do my best to be a brother."

"The master can't leave the house. As long as you don't tell me, who can know?"

Shi Xiangyun said: "But they separated halfway. They said they had to go to the palace to meet the saint first, and then come to the engineering school."

The faces of the thousands of households became solemn, and they took two steps forward and shouted: "Everyone, please be quiet. If you dare to make any noise, you will be killed immediately!"

But the telegraph was only silent for a short while, and then started ringing again.

Jia Baoyu followed the sound and saw a group of carriages slowly turning into the street. He couldn't help but be overjoyed. He urged his horse to catch up and shouted loudly: "Brother Jiao, Brother Jiao, it's me, it's me!"

"No rush."

"Have your own arrangements?"

It has to be said that in the original work, Jia Baoyu was able to gather thousands of favors. In addition to her status and skin, there were also internal reasons.

Before Qin Che could say anything, Shen Chengzhuo, the supervisor and censor on the side, said: "The auspicious time has been decided. If Mr. Jiao really can't make it in time, Chen Siye should take charge of it on his behalf."

"Just leave it to me!"

"Sister Lin is here too?"

As he spoke, he first glanced at the audience, and then looked back at the officials on the stage.

Li Gui didn't wait for him to finish speaking, and immediately rode his horse forward to block the street. He said with a bitter face: "Second Master, please spare the little one. If I really find out about this, you have an old lady. Mrs.

If you protect me, we are afraid that we will follow in Mingyan’s footsteps!”

He randomly selected a dozen people without any order, then turned back and pointed at the rostrum and said, "Everyone follow me to the stage!"

Shi Xiangyun also took Qingwen and Cuixi into the car, and the two families went to the Engineering School together as a family.

Seeing this battle, many work-study students were a little timid, but they did not dare to disobey his orders. Those who were called could only go to the podium with trepidation.

Li Guizheng secretly sighed that today is different from the past, when he saw a handsome young man with a kind face jumped out of the car, did not say a word, only waved his folding fan and smiled at Baoyu - if Baoyu was said to be a handsome young man, this one simply walked out of the painting.

The fairy boy who came out was so handsome that he transcended the category of a man.

How is that possible!

As he said that, without looking at Chen and Shen, they held up the note and said loudly: "According to your Majesty's telegram, the auspicious time has come, and the engineering graduation ceremony will be held immediately!"

Having said this, he raised his finger and pointed at Xiangyun, Daiyu and others, gritted his teeth and said: "To do such a ridiculous thing, now I have abandoned the ceremony and ran to the palace - if I miss the auspicious time, who will be responsible?

!”

But he saw Qianhu take out a booklet from his arms, put it on the desk stacked with graduation certificates with great care, and then called to the selected work-study students: "You guys come up one by one, use..."

Chen Mingju and Shen Chengzhuo exchanged glances with each other, and both felt that there was something fishy going on - could it be that the traitor had calculated the time and would come back before the ceremony was officially held?

He clapped and said: "Coming, coming!"

Jia Baoyu subconsciously looked inside the car, only to see Cuixi, dressed as a man, also getting out of the car, sticking out her tongue and making a face at him.

Zhao Yan was about to speak when he suddenly saw a group of Dragon Guards armed with live ammunition breaking into the school grounds and heading straight for the podium.

Shi Xiangyun and Lin Daiyu couldn't help but look sideways, and saw a blue-robed official surrounded by a group of green clerks, shouting questions at an official not far away.

There were a dozen or so servants around him, but the only ones he could really remember were Li Gui and Ming Yan. Li Gui was because of his identity as the nanny brother, and Ming Yan was entirely because the two masters and servants had the most bad temper.

.

Upon hearing this, Qianhu jumped directly from the one-meter-high rostrum, walked quickly through the column of work-study students, pointed casually and said: "You, you, and you..."

Dong Xun hurried out of the queue, asked for the note from Qianhu's hand, sat in front of the telegraph machine and checked it carefully before starting to send the message.

Seeing Zhao Yan running up to the rostrum out of breath under the attention of everyone, Shen Chengzhuo immediately shouted: "Master Zhao, the Holy Spirit speaks of oral orders, and decrees speak of decrees. What is the 'edict' you just mentioned?"

meaning?"

"We are together when we go out."

But until the second and third periods of work-study students entered the venue one after another and lined up in front of the rostrum, Jiao Shun was still not there yet.

"Then there's Sister Feng..."

Li Gui gnashed his teeth after hearing this, and finally waited for a break before interrupting quickly: "My dear second master, you have to choose a time to buy these things! If you miss the engineering ceremony, go back

How to explain to the master?"

Jia Baoyu turned his horse's head half-heartedly and sighed helplessly: "It's just that you can't be free at home, but you have to be restrained by the people when you go out. So what's the difference whether you go out or not?"

"That's Siye [Sixth Grade] Chen Mingju."

"Haha~"

Everyone was waiting eagerly, but saw Dong Xun, Li Qing and others fidgeting on the rostrum for a while and then stopped, standing in front of the iron knots and making no move.

I can’t control that much anymore!

Or maybe the Jiao thief thought that flattering the emperor was the most important thing, so he neglected the engineering side.

Shen Chengzhuo followed the reputation and immediately recognized that the person was Zhao Yan, the newly appointed chief of the Miscellaneous Work Department of the Ministry of Works. Like Qin Che, this person was also a traitor who had devoted himself to being a thief.

Jiao Shun's situation in engineering and academic circles was in great difficulty. If he had been there, the imperial examination family would not have dared to act rashly. But now that he has gone to the palace inexplicably, isn't it a God-given opportunity?

If Li Daitao could host the graduation ceremony, even if no real results could be achieved in the end, it would be able to dampen Jiao's arrogance to some extent.

Li Qingze approached the Qianhu and whispered a few words.

He was about to look inside again, but he came face to face with a cold and pretty face, and his whole body froze on the spot.

Repeatedly, a total of sixteen characters, together with the four-digit Arabic numeral numbers next to them, were quickly listed on the paper.

In addition to the Dragon Guards who were brought to the stage by Qianhu, Chen and Shen, as well as the imperial examination personnel surrounding them, were all squeezed into a corner, but seeing this battle, they did not dare to raise objections for a moment.

Zhao Yan faked a smile again, looked down at Chen Mingju and said: "This matter is of great importance. Even Master Yebutang of the Ministry of Industry and the two ministers knew in advance that Master Jijiu had no choice but to hide it from Chen Siye. Lift."

Although he still had to face the cynicism from Lin Daiyu and Qingwen, as long as it wasn't the stinky man's previous strife, he would still be happy with it.

When Chen and Shen saw this, they didn't know what to do. They saw Zhao Yan put away the note and said in a loud voice: "I think you are all curious about what a telegraph is. Come on, lift up the telegraph machine." Come up!"

But he went to see the person being criticized and said with neither humility nor arrogance, "Master Chen, please be patient. Master Jijiu has made his own arrangements."

"Enter the palace to meet the saint?"

After all, Jia Baoyu studied engineering as an official, so he immediately reminded in a low voice: "Of the officials who came from the imperial examination, most of them think that he and the supervisory censor Shen Chengzhuo follow suit."

I saw him deviating from the path while running. Li Gui, who was following behind, quickly reminded me: "Second Master, you are going the wrong way. You should go over there!"

Jia Baoyu laughed on the horse and said: "The ice porridge at home always tastes wrong, and Xiren stopped me from doing it myself, saying that I was afraid of the cold weather - now it's finally out, I'll take you guys to try it out .”

In the eyes of Chen Mingju and Shen Chengzhuo, the lackeys around Jiao Shun would definitely try their best to stop him. Unexpectedly, the imperial examination group showed a common hatred, but Qin Che just bowed slightly and replied, "It should be so."

"Hmph~"

Although the work-study students below also found the theory of the telegraph edict to be incomprehensible, some of them knew Zhao Yan and knew that this was the Lord of Jiao Jijiu, so they immediately took the lead and knelt down to receive the order.

Seeing Jia Baoyu's embarrassment, Shi Xiangyun pointed to the back and said, "Sister Lin is in the car behind."

The team of dragon guards quickly rushed forward. The leader was a Qianhu. He came up and asked, "Have you ever held the ceremony as scheduled according to the Holy Spirit's decree?"

"After we finish eating, let's go to the flower and bird market. The parrot in the old lady's house is shaking and wilting. It's probably dead. Let's find someone similar to replace it quietly, so as not to make her sad."

At this moment, a sharp-eyed boy pointed not far away and said: "Look, it's Jiao Mansion's carriage!"

Seeing that he was speechless, Chen Mingju stepped out from the crowd, stared at the note in Zhao Yan's hand and said, "Zhao Suozheng, how can you prove that this is the holy will?"

These words were in response to Zhao Yan's previous "edict". Chen and Shen looked at each other in confusion. It wasn't until the thousand households raised their voices and shouted again that Chen Mingju hurriedly responded.

Jia Baoyu didn't know how to face Qingwen, so he hurriedly turned to look at the second carriage, but saw that the carriage was quiet. It had been a long time since he saw Lin Daiyu's reaction.

He became more and more embarrassed and blunt, and finally reluctantly changed the subject and said: "Where's Brother Jiao, why isn't he with you?"

Thinking of this, Chen Mingju winked at Shen Chengzhuo. Shen Chengzhuo stepped forward and was about to announce that Jiao Shun could not attend for some reason and that Chen Siye would be the host of the ceremony. Suddenly he saw a group of people walking quickly, across the distance. Then he shouted at the top of his lungs: "Your Majesty's telegram!"

Li Qing on the side also silently took out pen, ink, paper and inkstone.

However, when it came to engineering, his energy began to show signs of sluggishness, and he would tighten the reins from time to time and let the white horse spin around.

Li Gui breathed a sigh of relief, urging his horse to ride alongside him, and said with a smile: "Look what the second master said, don't we have something serious to do this time? Otherwise, let's go for a walk when we get back - —The weather will be hot by then, so it’s the right time to eat ice porridge.”

Jia Baoyu's face fell: "I haven't been to engineering school since I graduated from college, and now I suddenly go to attend the graduation ceremony. Not to mention others, even I feel awkward and abrupt. It's better to wait until the ceremony starts inside, and then we can go quietly Go in silently..."

Could it be that Qin Che was in Cao's camp and his heart was in Han?

The Jiao family's motorcade stopped quickly, but until the master and servant rushed forward, Jiao Shun was not seen to greet them.

The Qianhu picked it up and asked in a loud voice: "Where is the Rao Shizi electric treasure chicken? Hurry up and let it fly to the palace to report the news!"

The work-study students in the audience were getting impatient, and Chen and Shen on the stage were even more anxious.

Chen Mingju said angrily: "I made my own decision when I read it?! This graduation ceremony is the top priority since the establishment of the engineering school. It should be a collective effort. Instead of focusing on the arbitrariness of adults, you do this..."

Given the current situation of the Rongguo Mansion, his petty hospitality seemed a bit out of place - especially when compared with someone like Jiao, he seemed to have no ambition and no desire to make progress.

Jia Baoyu was stunned, took out his pocket watch, glanced at it, and asked doubtfully: "But the graduation ceremony will be held in two quarters of an hour, right? Can Brother Jiao still make it back in time?"

Following his order, Dong Xun, who had been waiting secretly for a long time, immediately took a few graduates and carried several thick black iron lumps to the rostrum, and Li Qing led others to pull them out from the corner. Two dark ropes connected one of them to the iron knots.

Hearing the words 'promoted to Dachen', the Qianhu took a breath, as if they finally understood something, they solemnly put the note away and ran away without saying a word.

Initially, Xing Xiuyan did not arrange her to be with Shi Xiangyun because he was worried that she would not be gregarious. Later, he realized that Cui Lun and Xiang Ling were naive and ignorant and could not handle the situation. Although Lin Hongyu was well-rounded, she was not qualified after all. Wen was 'seconded' to come over to take care of the business.

only……

"this……"

Jia Baoyu wanted to ask her what kind of medicine she was selling in the gourd, but out of the corner of his eye he saw the coldness on Qingwen's face, and he was immediately discouraged. He kept saying a few nonsense words that even he himself might not understand, and ran away. It seemed like he was back on the horse.

Everyone on the stage was in an uproar, and Shen Chengzhuo even subconsciously wanted to criticize Zhao Yan's nonsense and false edict, but thinking of the lighthouse that illuminated half of the Thousand-Step Corridor at the beginning of the year, he did not dare to say that this was a lie. .

"That's all, that's all."

Shen Chengzhuo couldn't help but asked: "What the hell are you doing? Didn't you say you wanted to explain what the telegram was about?"

But who would have thought...

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere on the podium suddenly became solemn.

After a while, Dong Xun stopped.

"Haha~"

Although Jiao Shun was not present, the news that the female members of the Jiao family were coming to watch the ceremony was well known to all the officials in the engineering school, but no one dared to come and disturb it without knowing it. Therefore, Jia Baoyu also escaped.

Shi Xiangyun hurriedly made a gesture of silence and whispered: "Our father was afraid that Sister Lin would be depressed, so he brought us here to see the excitement and relax."

After a pause, he continued: "Also, Mr. Chen is an engineering student, but why has he never heard of such an arrangement?"

Watching him fly away, Shen Chengzhuo Fuling in the corner was very moved and said in a voiceless voice: "This, this thing can really send the news directly to the emperor?!"

At this time, Zhao Yan and Shi Shiran came closer, raised his hands to Chen Ming and said, "Master Jiao, I'm afraid I won't be able to get away for a while. Chen Siye, you will be the one to preside over the rest."

This was originally what Chen Mingju had expected, but now that he got what he wanted, there was no hint of joy on his face - once the "telegraph" incident came out, who would care who hosted the graduation ceremony?

I'm just worried about engineering studies...

No!

I'm afraid that this matter will cause an uproar both inside and outside the court!
Chapter completed!
