The Palace of Peach and Plum

Chapter 9



Chapter 9:

“Qin… Young Master.” Zhao Gui arched his hands in embarrassment.

The people who besieged Li Yin had never seen Li Yin, and Li Yin’s dress was indeed simpler. Otherwise, even a scholar would wink a bit. But they didn’t know Li Ying, but they knew Zhao Gui, a frequent visitor to the champion’s building. Who didn’t know that Zhao Gui was the son of Guozijian Jijiu, this time a strong contender for the imperial examination. Seeing that Zhao Gui was respectful and respectful to the young man in front of him, a few scholars were shocked.

But now that the matter has broken up, anyone with a brain knows that they must continue to make trouble and make a right or wrong one. In this way, even if the other party feels uncomfortable, he still has a reputation to fight for. After all, the champion building is a peculiar place, at least on the surface, regardless of whether it is high or low, everyone debates on an equal footing.

“Young Master Zhao, do you know this Young Master?” said one of them, clasping his hands.

Zhao Gui looked intently and recognized that this person was from Ludi. His name was Xiao Hu. He was also a high-profile champion candidate. It seemed that his family had a marriage with the Kong Sheng family, and his heart was clear. No wonder he came to this bamboo pole. Falling from the window, they can hit the capital of two or three nobles, and dare to be so arrogant.

Zhao Gui felt a headache even more. This Kong Sheng family has a different weight in the minds of scholars, even if it is related to the Kong Sheng family, the royal family will not be able to deal with it. Now the relatives of the Kong Sheng family are facing Prince Qin, he is really caught in it, and it’s not easy to do anything.

Ling Wei also knows Xiao Hu, who has recently gained fame in Beijing and is said to be the son-in-law of a certain offshoot of the Kong Sheng family. What he thought was different from Zhao Gui, only that he was quite incapable of being a human being. To put it bluntly, the Confucian family can have such high prestige, it is still given by the rulers of various generations. What is seen is that the Confucian family not only produced a Confucian sage, the way of Confucius and Mencius is consistent with the way of being the king, but also the honesty of the Confucian family.

The Kong Sheng family can eat well in any dynasty, and one thing is done well. In order to maintain the family’s reputation without being infamy, their descendants rarely go to officialdom, and it is even rarer for direct descendants to go to officialdom. In this way, they teach and educate people when the country is prosperous, and live in seclusion when the country is declining. Even if they don’t have a good reputation, they won’t have a bad reputation.

The emperors looked at this family so acquainted that they made it famous and became a banner leading scholars. Otherwise, the emperors are not stupid. To create an existence higher than themselves in the hearts of scholars is to find themselves uncomfortable? Look at so many saints from the Baijia Family of Zhuzi,

How come Confucius’s family was protected by the ruler and passed down from generation to generation to modern times, and you can know their wisdom in life.

Therefore, Xiao Hu’s actions obviously did not conform to the Confucian family’s way of life. When this matter spreads, the Confucian family will probably have a headache.

Seeing that Li Yin’s mood is obviously not bad, this prince probably also thought of it, right? Maybe you are still thinking about how to use this to make the Kong family, who are unwilling to go into office, make concessions? To know that the Confucian family became official, it means that the Confucian family recognized the emperor and recognized this peaceful and prosperous age. His Majesty the Emperor had already calculated it.

When Ling Wei was meditating, Zhao Gui and Xiao Hu said everything about the matter.

As I said earlier, the private room on the third floor of the champion building is quite rules. But this rule refers to the person who booked the private room. Once the private room is booked, whoever the host invites is a matter for the host’s family.

But this is, at any rate, a destination for scholars in Beijing, so the host family generally only invites scholars. Even if he doesn’t have a fame, he is still taking a fame test anyway. This is also considered an unspoken rule.

As for Li Ying, he looked like a martial artist, and he also brought a chubby child who was estimated to have just finished his enlightenment, obviously not in line with the style of the champion building.

Xiao Hu was originally in Beijing, because of his Confucian son-in-law status and Lu Di Jieyuan’s status, he was a little boasted by everyone. He claimed to be the spokesperson of the descendants of Confucius and Mencius. Li Ying’s dress is eye-catching as soon as he comes in, but there are invitations in the private room on the third floor, and the steward of the champion building will naturally let people go up. Xiao Hu happened to have a drink, and his head was getting hot. In addition, the person who invited Li Yin had some trouble with him, so he used the topic to instigate other scholars to “ask for an argument.”

Xiao Hu’s excuse was also good. Although the store has no rules, the scholars must have their own rules. Now that you have the qualifications to go to the third floor, the person you invite must meet the style of the champion building anyway. Doesn’t it mean that the martial arts child you invite has tarnished the facade of the champion building? That warrior child can go to the third floor. Is that a merchant **** who can come in as long as he is invited?

Xiao Hu’s words are actually a bit unreasonable, and people are not fools, so how could they invite such people to come up. This Li Yin and the child are probably relatives. Xiao Hu estimated that Li Ying might be the elder of the child, and that child was the master who was invited. He was probably a scholar who was dragged to meet the world and get to know more people of insight. But in the past, even if there were such people, most of them were carried by elders who looked like literati. Whoever makes Li Ying dress up as a warrior, Xiao Hu can take advantage of the problem.

Scholars are always easy to be incited. With Xiao Hu’s yelling, someone rolled up his sleeves and followed him to “criminal”. Maybe some of these people are really pedantic, maybe some have been upset recently, maybe there are some who happen to be dissatisfied with someone like Xiao Hu, and I want to take this opportunity to put some ink on that person.

Who said that scholars must be upright and honest?

Zhao Gui was full of cold sweat, and disgusted Xiao Hu even more. The one who invited him was Liu Qi, the son of the Queen’s family, whose knowledge was a bit better than him. His old man often sighed because he didn’t grab this good disciple, and didn’t mention it until he re-accepted Ling Wei as a disciple. It can be seen that his prestige and the odds of being a champion are higher than his own.

However, Xiao Hu came to the capital with great momentum, and was suppressed by Liu Qi again and again, naturally dissatisfied in his heart. Liu Qi is still a relative of the emperor, which makes some scholars of profane background even more uncomfortable, so he has to deal with it all the time.

But Xiao Hu didn’t want to think, since Liu Qi is a relative of the emperor, then the person he called “exceptionally” is an ordinary person? How can you see people wearing poor clothes and want to pick up soft persimmons?

At this time, the people upstairs heard the movement and had come down, but Liu Qi was not inside. It turned out that Liu Qi would be late for a while when something happened. The host’s house is not there, and no one else knows the prince who has been away from Beijing for many years. Seeing that Zhao Gui seemed to know this person, he immediately moved closer to Zhao Gui as if he had a mastermind, and prepared Zhao Gui to say anything, and they just said something.

It’s all here. Who doesn’t know that Xiao Hu is actually fighting cattle from a mountain and wanting to find fault with Liu Qi? Although these scholars in Beijing admire Kong Shengren, they don’t have to give face as long as the cats and puppies on the side of Kong Sheng family. Xiao Hu has been extremely arrogant in Beijing recently. It seems that the scholars in Beijing are not his opponents, but fortunately he was suppressed by Brother Liu. Now he is looking for the fault of Brother Liu, that is, the fault of the scholars in Beijing, which is absolutely not tolerable.

Now, it has become a regional dispute for scholars again, and Zhao Gui wants to cry even more.

Ling Wei suddenly felt wrong when he heard “I also brought a chubby child”, so he quietly looked at him straight to the side, clearly that he was a man, and he looked like Li Chen who had nothing to do with him. Oh, why is this little fat man who is pulling Li Yin’s long legs so familiar?

“Too…little son?” Ling Wei asked tentatively.

The little fat man holding Li Yin’s long legs raised his head with an expression of grief and indignation. Obviously, he was besieged by so many people, giving the child a psychological creation.

Became a serious impact.

“Jintang!” As soon as the fat prince saw Ling Wei, just like seeing the savior, he immediately threw away Ling Wei and almost hit the ground. Knowing that something like this has happened, I will definitely not let myself out of the palace again in the future!”

Ling Wei didn’t look at the person who seemed weak, but his strength was not small. It was estimated that there was a little fat man of 60 or 70 catties, and he picked it up in one hand. He listened to the fat prince whispering in his ear, and he couldn’t laugh or cry. He thought that the little fat man’s mind had been hit. He was thinking that he would be cleaned up by the Emperor when he returned. His expression was so sad and indignant.

“Jintang.” Because of the crowds, Li Ying didn’t notice Ling Wei who was hiding behind Zhao Gui just now. Now that the fat prince called someone, he rarely smiled. Ling Wei looked dizzy.

Mother, isn’t His Royal Highness Qin and His Majesty the emperor the same father and mother? Why are they so different? Although His Majesty the Emperor can be regarded as heroic, but His Royal Highness is too handsome, especially with such a rare smile, it makes people feel a little darling and can’t hold it. Ling Wei, who is not straight, spurned his rippling and hurriedly said with a smile: “Master Qin is well.”

Seeing Ling Wei and Li Yin talking and ignoring himself, the fat prince grabbed Ling Wei’s hair with one hand, and continued to mumble in Ling Wei’s ear: “Jintang, Jintang, think of a way!”

“Success, success, don’t talk.” Ling Wei patted the fat prince’s ass, muttered a few times in the fat prince’s ear, and the eyes of the fat prince were full of excitement.

However, the fat prince asked with some worry: “Is this not good for Gu’s image?”

“His Royal Highness, you are only nine years old. Who accounts for the younger children? Being younger is the advantage.” Ling Wei smiled slyly, “How can these bad guys bully the children who are so dedicated to learning?”

Li Yin’s ears are good, and his expression on his face is inexplicable as he listens to the side. It seems that his evaluation of Ling Wei needs to be revised?

And the fat prince had obviously been persuaded by Ling Wei. He put his arms around Ling Wei’s neck and took a deep breath. It was an earth-shattering voice. The howling group of arguing and vigorous scholars were suppressed, and all of them were silenced. Voice.
