Chapter 190

There are many smart people in the capital. Not only Xiao Yuanshi's people stare, but also many ministers let people stare.

If the time for xiaohanzheng and his wife to enter the palace is cut off, it means that the emperor has dismissed them casually without much attention.

If you enter the palace for a long time, it shows that the emperor and Xiao Hanzheng should have said a lot of words, which means that the emperor attaches importance to it, and they naturally should attach importance to it.

Not long after hearing the time of entering the palace.

The emperor's reward to Xiao Hanzheng and his wife also came out.

Hearing the reward, everyone was stunned.

Obviously, I didn't expect it to be so strange.

After inquiring, I found out that this was the reward proposed by Xiao Hanzheng and his wife.

Most people disdain it and feel that it is worthy of coming out of a small county, city and village. Such a good opportunity is in front of them and they don't cherish it.

Such a great contribution requires a villa and a reward for reading the examination paper. It's silly to be short-sighted.

Therefore, he lost interest in wooing Xiao Hanzheng.

A few old foxes, however, can see the twists and turns inside.

Xi family.

The man of the Xi family had just finished his dinner when the old man called someone to sit and drink tea.

And said about the emperor's reward.

Xi Rui couldn't help frowning. "Qing Luo is too stupid. He wants a Chuang Tzu."

Even he was rewarded with gold and Jade Kirin. Shi Qingluo, the man who planted corn, also lost too much.

He said again with some anger: "Xiao Hanzheng is, too. Just look at the examination papers and ask us for help. Why waste a reward?"

The Third Master of the Xi family couldn't help shaking his head and said, "it's a waste of such a good opportunity to cherish."

No wonder he can hang out with his dandy.

When master Xi heard what they said, his eyebrows frowned slightly and asked the other sons, "what do you think?"

He had five sons, two of whom came out of wedlock and three of whom were concubines.

The eldest and the second are born in wedlock, and the third, fourth and fifth are born from concubines.

The second and fourth went to other places to be officials. The third was assigned a small official by him in Jingcheng, and the fifth was still studying.

So here are the boss, the third and the fifth.

The fifth master thought for a moment and said, "I also think Xiao Hanzheng and his wife are a little short-sighted. Some people from the countryside can't get on the table."

As soon as he said this, Xi Rui glared, "Uncle five, who can't get on the table? That's my friend."

The fifth master was stared at by his nephew on the spot, but he didn't spray it. Instead, he smiled: "slip of the tongue!"

Although he is Xi Rui's uncle and several years older than his nephew, in this family, this bastard is his little ancestor and he can't provoke him.

After listening to his fifth son, old Xi gave up his son completely.

He looked at Xi Xinheng and asked, "do you think so?"

Xi Xinheng thought about it and said with a smile, "no, I think Xiao Hanzheng and his wife are very smart."

"Now as long as you get such a little reward, although it looks silly, you will get more in the future, at least in the eyes of the emperor."

What is the purpose of the imperial examination, of course, is to take an official career.

Whether the official career goes smoothly or not, in addition to their own ability, has a great relationship with whether the emperor has an impression on you or not.

If Xiao Hanzheng and his wife want such a reward, they won't be very eye-catching in the capital.

Nine times out of ten, many people will work like the third and fifth, so they are too lazy to win over or suppress.

Xiao Hanzheng and his wife must know a word very well: "the wood is beautiful in the forest, and the wind will destroy it".

In fact, many people understand this truth, but suddenly a big pie falls from the sky, which many people can't control.

Therefore, the choice of Xiao Hanzheng and his wife surprised him and made him optimistic.

It seems that the stupid son has made the right friends this time.

Old Xi's frown, which was originally frowned, loosened, "it's good."

He said to Xi Rui, "silly boy, don't think they suffer a loss. Sometimes it's a blessing to suffer a loss."

"Your two friends are smart people."

"Play with them more in the future."

He added: "the Liang family boy and the Fei family boy are also good."

Those two boys are also good at eating, drinking and having fun, but they are both smart people.

Yes, it's not. It's really stupid.

Xi Rui didn't understand, "is this kind of loss blessed? Isn't it stupid?"

Old Xi and Xi Xinheng: "..." the grandson is hopeless.

As expected, smart energy has not been used in politics. I'm afraid it's the same in my life.

Fortunately, this is not the eldest son, or they will cry.

Xi Rui rolled his eyes when he felt the unfriendly eyes from his grandfather and his father.

Isn't it tiring to go around the corners all day? He'd better eat and die.

The faces of the second and fifth masters of Xi changed.

The old man's words obviously affirmed the big brother. They ignored them and gave them up.

Not to mention the big brother like the old fox, but why should Xi Rui, a dandy nephew, pay more attention than they say.

Both of them were unwilling, but they had nothing to do.

The Liang family also staged such a show.

However, Liang Youxiao and Xi Rui saw the difference. As soon as he opened his mouth, he agreed with the choice of Xiao Hanzheng and his wife.

Let Liang Laozi and Liang Mingcheng surprised.

Mr. Liang couldn't help asking, "why don't you take the imperial examination, or can I arrange an official position for you?"

I didn't expect his sixth grader to see this.

Liang Mingcheng also wondered if he had paid too little attention to his son before? That's why my son is going to be a dandy.

Liang Youxiao immediately shook his head, "no, I just like eating, drinking and counting money."

Mr. Liang: "..." the grandson is hopeless.

Liang Mingcheng: "..." it's not that he doesn't pay attention, but that the bastard doesn't want to help himself up the wall.

Lord Liang waved his hand, "just do what you like."

Anyway, there is no shortage of capable grandchildren in their family. There are only so many resources in the family. Xiao Liu doesn't fight for it himself, and he can't force it.

He encouraged, "you have made good friends this time. Continue to maintain a good relationship with Xiao Hanzheng."

Liang Youxiao nodded and said, "OK."

He smiled and said, "people say that there is an old man in the family. If there is a treasure, our family is. It's absolutely right to listen to my grandfather."

Old man Liang laughed, "smelly boy, you have eyes."

Others: "

They understand. The old man and the old lady say that the most filial person in the family is Xiao Liu.

It's not that they are inferior to Xiao Liu, but that this bastard will flatter shamelessly.

They are ashamed to let them say such disgusting words.

The Fei family was almost the same. Old man Fei asked his son and grandson.

Fei Yuzhe's answer made him very satisfied, so he decided to cultivate this grandson who only knew how to muddle along before.

Fei Yuzhe was also interested in taking an official career, so he hit it off with the old man.

Such things also happen in a few families. Naturally, these old foxes will not lower their body to woo Xiao Hanzheng, but let their grandchildren try to make friends.

Xiao family and Xiao Yuanshi naturally belong to the smart minority.

After hearing his son's choice, he regretted more and more that he had decided to break up his family on impulse.

So I want to do something to recover, at least on the surface.

Ge Chunru didn't have such a high political vision of the court. When she heard that Xiao Hanzheng and his wife went to Beijing and went to the palace, her heart was as painful as being bitten by insects.

So she asked the servant girl to quietly pass on her orders to Xiao Dalang's concubine.
