The road of the farmer's fortune and the imperial examination

Chapter 399 The eldest prince wants to return to Beijing
Zhu Pang was even more surprised when he heard this, "Haven't you still practiced?"

Gu Chengyu didn't show his martial arts in front of his classmates, so he could only smile and said: "Come in the house quickly! It's cold outside, and I even called two of my friends, and I'm about to introduce you to each other."

Gu Chengyu brought the two of them into the house, Sun Xian and Ye Zhiqiu saw that someone came in, they immediately stood up, ready to greet each other.

"This is my second brother-in-law, named Sun Xian, named Ziyuan; this is my classmate and friend when I was studying in Jingyuan Mansion, named Ye Zhiqiu, named Zhonghuai, and now he is studying at Boshan Academy." Gu Chengyu pointed Sun Xian and Ye Zhiqiu said to Zhu Pang.

Sun Xian has already passed the age of weak crown, and Ye Zhiqiu is also seventeen, not to mention that the two of them have also passed the Juren examination. Last year, they invited Jiaoyu from Boshan Academy to give them two names.

"It turns out that they are students of Boshan Academy. It is really disrespectful and disrespectful. Boshan Academy is very famous. If the two of them can pass the academy's exam, they must be people with outstanding talents."

It was Zheng Lun who said this, of course, Zheng Lun is a smooth person, talking to him will definitely make you feel like a spring breeze.

"Where is it? If you want to talk about real talent and learning, you are ashamed to say it. I just hope that you won't lose the reputation of the academy." Sun Xian waved his hands quickly and said modestly.

Ye Zhiqiu was also busy saluting, saying that he didn't dare to take it seriously.

Gu Chengyu introduced Zhu Pang and the others to Sun Xian after seeing them say a few polite words.

"These two are the classmates of the Guozijian I told you about. This is the young master of the Dingnanhou Mansion. He is a family member. His name is Zheng Lun, and his style is Xiaoru; He is the servant of the Ministry of War."

"I've heard Chengyu say that there are good classmates in the Imperial College, but it's rare to see them. Today, I can see real people. Mr. Zheng and Mr. Zhu are also dragons and phoenixes among people!"

When literati meet, if they are not fighting each other, then complimenting each other is indispensable.

"Hey~ I'm overwhelmed! I'm ashamed of myself!"

Several people made a few more sour words, and Zhu Pang almost rolled his eyes.The one next to him can be regarded as meeting his opponent again.

Why do I say yes? It's because when I met Gu Chengyu, this kid was more humble than the one named Sun Xian!

"Okay! If you keep flattering each other, it will be dark! Didn't you say you should go hunting first?"

He couldn't wait a long time ago. Instead of listening to their flattering words here, he might as well go hunting game in the woods.

As soon as this remark came out, several people were taken aback for a moment, and then they all burst into laughter.

Gu Chengyu hurriedly interjected: "Senior Brother Zhu has always been like this, don't mind Brother Sun and Senior Brother Ye, he is just straightforward, and everyone will know after getting along with each other. Since you are here in Zhuangzi, everyone should not be restrained, just let go and have fun. Come on! Let's hunt some game."

As soon as this remark came out, Zhu Pang immediately cheered, and hunting was still the most suitable for him.

"Haha! We have a lot of prey today, and we have to enjoy it later." Zhu Pang shouted happily to Gu Chengyu with a bow and arrow on his back and a hare in his hand.

Gu Chengyu took a look at the wild game on the wooden cart. There were rabbits, roe deer, and pheasants, and he thought it should be enough for a few people.

"Let's go! Let's change to a new way of eating at noon."

These few people will not go back today. They will have a barbecue for a meal at noon, soak in the hot spring in the afternoon, and live directly in the Zhuangzi at night.

"Let's go! I'm already hungry!" Zhu Pang called to Sun Xian and the others, and rode out of the forest.

A few people went to the gazebo in the Plum Blossom Forest. The gazebo was surrounded by thick curtains, and a charcoal pot was burned inside.As soon as Gu Chengyu and the others walked into the gazebo, they felt like they had stepped into a warm spring day.

Zheng Lun and the others entered the gazebo, immediately sneezed, rubbed their noses that were red from the cold, and then looked at the two big iron shelves in the gazebo strangely.

"Chengyu! What is this?" Zhu Pang walked around the iron frame twice, feeling very novel.

Gu Chengyu smiled slightly, "You guys will know what this is for later, please allow me to trick me right now."

Mingmo and the others have already carried the wild animals to the large kitchen for processing, and waited for the raw meat with seasonings to come up, then inserted the meat with specially-made iron skewers, and grilled it by themselves.

It took a while to process the meat, Gu Chengyu and the others drank tea.

"I guess it must be that Chengyu thought of a new way of eating. Let's wait for the eye-opening today!" Sun Xian knew Gu Chengyu very well. .

"Brother Sun still understands me!"

Afterwards, the few people chatted all over again.

"I heard that the eldest prince will return to Beijing soon." Several people were chatting about the situation in the court when Zheng Lun suddenly mentioned the eldest prince.

"I've also heard about it, and I don't know what illness the eldest prince has, but he has been ill for two years. This time he returned to Beijing, he must have recovered, right?"

The official position of Minister of the Ministry of War is not low. Of course, Zhu Pang heard from his family that even Zheng Lun knew about it. There is no reason for him not to receive news.

"I don't know. Two years ago, I suddenly said that I had a disease. I didn't mention the details of the illness. I only said that I would move to another hospital for rest. Now that I want to go back to Beijing, I'm probably cured. If I don't show up again, I'm afraid it's not right."

After hearing this, Gu Chengyu suddenly remembered that two years ago, not long after he went to Beijing, the eldest prince fell ill.After that, I haven't heard from him for two years, but now he is coming back.

That's right, whoever it is, as long as they are not terminally ill, they will rush back to Beijing.If you don't come back, what will the emperor think?Forget that his son will definitely not, but will he suspect that this son is doing something behind his back that he doesn't know about?

"There has been no news for two years, and it must be wrong not to show up." Zhu Pang sneered, and replied without curiosity at all.

When Gu Chengyu saw it, his eyes darkened. Zhu Pang must have known something inside with his behavior.

It's a pity that the mouths of these aristocratic families are very tight, and I'm afraid they won't reveal it easily.Therefore, he did not intend to ask.

Sun Xian and Ye Zhiqiu looked at each other. They would also hear some news about the court in the academy, but it was all familiar to everyone.Most of the academies are people who study hard, and there are few sons of officials, and their knowledge is limited.

The sons of aristocratic families generally send those who are incompetent or trouble-loving to the Imperial College; those who are talented, learned, and capable will invite famous masters to the mansion to teach them.Therefore, in the academy, most of them are sons of wealthy businessmen and common people.

"What news did you get?" Zheng Lun also wanted to know more.

"How do I know? When it comes to eating, drinking, and having fun, I'm sure I'm an expert. These are not things I like to pay attention to." Immediately, Zhu Pang shook his head with a look of disapproval.

Zheng Lun glanced at Gu Chengyu, and the two looked at each other and smiled, but Gu Chengyu saw bitterness in Zheng Lun's smile.

Gu Chengyu sighed silently, this is also the son of an oppressed family, struggling in the quagmire of the family.

Zheng Lun is the second son of the fourth house of the Dingnan Hou Mansion. It is said that he came from the Hou Mansion, and his status is unquestionable.However, if Sifang is a concubine, then it goes without saying, but unfortunately Sifang is only a concubine, then Zheng Lun's situation will be embarrassing.

　Thanks to Grandpa Beard, Ruomeng Xier and Miss Zhang for their rewards!
