Xuanmen Xiaoguo Shi is divination again

Chapter 123
When Mu Xici and the two were deadlocked at the door of the private room in Mengsheng Building, Zhan Mingxuan was looking up at the head of the secret guard standing in a hidden place on the roof.

The young man's face was a little embarrassed, but the embarrassment on Yan Chuan's face was no less embarrassing.

Most of the residences of senior officials in the court were far away from the downtown area. The two chased Lu Zixiu all the way, the pedestrians on the road became thinner, and the figure hidden in the crowd was exposed, and then they inevitably ran into each other again.

At this time, Lu Zixiu had already entered the Minister's Mansion with his official scroll, and he didn't know how long it would take him to come out.

It's obviously unreasonable for him to stand stupidly on the street all the time, but if he jumped onto the beam and squatted on the roof with Yanchuan...it doesn't seem too unreasonable either.

After all, the miss ordered that even if you saw Yan Chuan, you should pretend you didn't see him and leave him alone.

Zhan Mingxuan scratched his head in distress, and frequently raised his head to look at Yan Chuan, but his feet didn't move half an inch as if they had been knocked into a nail, and his mouth was closed as if he had been sewn to death.

This action full of hesitation and hesitation was repeated several times, causing the head of the hidden guard who was squatting in the corner to drift over uncontrollably. He stared at Zhan Mingxuan's expression, then sorted out his words for a while, But the more I get more and more confused, the more I don't know what to say.

If I knew it earlier, this job should be thrown directly to Lu Qiu.

Yan Chuan couldn't bear it anymore, just when he was about to give up and call Zhan Mingxuan, the boy who had been struggling for a long time jumped onto the roof before him.

Stepping on the green tiles, the corner of the boy's mouth trembled again and again, and finally he smirked and lowered his voice: "Brother Yan...what a coincidence."

No, it can't be done, it's really impolite to treat a living person like air!

Zhan Mingxuan was worried. After struggling for a long time, he decided to greet Yan Chuan indiscriminately. At worst, he would go back tonight and ask the lady to confess his mistakes.

"Heh, heh heh... Coincidentally, it's quite a coincidence." Yan Chuan was suddenly choked by Zhan Mingxuan's words, subconsciously raised his hand and rubbed his nose, "Mr. Zhan, you...you are also here to follow Lu Zixiu?"

"Ahaha——cough, those who follow or not follow are just on the way." Zhan Mingxuan rubbed his hands, it's hard to explain the matter of stalking too clearly, "I accidentally walked to the Minister of Rites on the way...you understand."

Yan Chuan was silent for a moment when he heard this, and nodded with an awkward smile: "Yes, I understand."

"Hey, yes, it's good to understand, hehe." Zhan Mingxuan responded, and the two of them closed their mouths and regained their silence.

Lu Zixiu, who entered the Shangshu Mansion, sat in the small hall in the front yard for a while, and was led to Chao Ling's study only after the servants of the mansion came in and presented the official letter.

The two people squatting on the roof saw that Lu Zixiu had moved, so they hurriedly practiced lightness kung fu, got up and followed him to the study.

As usual, the two found a corner where others would not be able to notice and squatted down, then lightly lifted two roof tiles, took out an inch-square hole, one left and one right, and lay down quietly.

Inside the study, Lu Zixiu came slowly with lowered eyebrows and narrowed eyes. He was dressed in a light pea green shirt made of the most common laceless muslin, and the Xiuyu jade pendant on his waist was also the most common thing.

But it's this set of ordinary outfits that makes him look impressive and economical.

"Lu Zixiu, a scholar from Nancheng, has met Lord Shangshu."

At that time, Chao Ling was carefully perusing the letters and public documents he presented, when he heard footsteps outside the door, he raised his head accordingly.

When he saw the scholar who was quite literary and handsome, his eyes lit up, and his expression softened a little.

The public papers delivered at the time of issuing papers are always expensive and not expensive, and those that can show their intellectual ambitions and literary talents in a few words are the top grade. Lu Zixiu's public papers are really well written. In his opinion, if the year is changed, he will definitely Can win the top three.

But this year...

Chao Ling's eyes flickered for a moment, and sporadic regrets could not help showing in his eyes.

This year, he is destined to become a victim in the struggle of several His Royal Highnesses.

As a result, his expression became more amiable, and his tone became extremely gentle. Chao Ling looked at the frail scholar bowing his head on the opposite side of the desk, and slightly bent his eyes: "The official file of yours has been read, the article is well written, and the handwriting is very good. It's beautiful."

"If you think about it, if you perform normally, it shouldn't be difficult to get on the list." Chao Ling said, and he paused for a while, "Even if you are unlucky and accidentally fall off the list, I can still do it." I recommend you to the Imperial Academy."

"Or if you have that intention, I can also recommend you to be Xiangye's disciple at that time."

"My lord, the grass people are terrified." Lu Zixiu couldn't help but change his face when he heard this, he quickly brushed his clothes, knelt down and kowtowed, "The grass people are mediocre scholars, how dare they be the disciples of the prime minister? My lord, don't let the grass people down."

He came here to submit the paper because he just wanted to hear the evaluation of him from the Minister of Rites, and he also had a lot of confidence in his heart. He didn't want to climb the dragon and become the phoenix, not to mention that the disciple of the Prime Minister can do what he says.
Lu Zixiu pursed his lips. Although he has not officially entered the official career, he has also heard of the disputes among the party members and the strife among political factions in the court.

He is stubborn by nature, he doesn't want to get involved in the disputes, he just wants to be an upright and honest official, and it is enough to benefit the people of one side.

Of course... If there is that opportunity, it would be better to stay in Beijing, but he knows his own weight and his temperament, so he doesn't dare to expect that.

As for the rest of the prime minister's disciples and the prince's staff, these are not within the scope of his consideration.

"What are you panicking about, I just said it so casually." Chao Ling smiled, and slowly put down the scroll, "According to your talent, most likely you can get on the list—if you get on the list, naturally you don't have to worry about these things. "

Lu Zixiu was unmoved, and still knelt down on the ground. Chao Ling couldn't help but sighed heavily when he saw this: "You scholar is really stubborn... Forget it, we won't mention this matter, get up quickly."

"Thank you sir for your compassion." Lu Zixiu replied sternly, got up and saluted again, and just now stood upright, Chao Ling felt another pain in his head when he saw his stubborn appearance.

"Little friend Lu, it is very far from the southern city to the capital. Where do you live now, and where can you find a place to stay?" Chao Ling raised his hand and knocked on the table, "If there is no place to stay, I can send someone to arrange one or two for you. .”

"Returning to my lord, Caomin is currently living in the suburbs of Beijing temporarily. I planned to report to the Gongyuan after submitting the official papers today." Lu Zixiu cupped his hands, and the corners of his lips were slightly relieved, "If that's the case, I don't need to bother my lord."

"Alright, since you've made your itinerary, I won't talk too much." Chao Ling nodded, chatted with the scholar a few more words, gave some instructions, and then sent someone to send Lu Zixiu Ansheng out of the mansion.

The scholar left the mansion, but the two lying on the roof did not move this time.

Zhan Mingxuan was about to leave, but when he saw Yan Chuan lying on the spot, still concentrating on locking Chao Ling in the study, he couldn't help being curious, so he got down together with him.

Lu Zixiu's footsteps on the left and right were not fast, so it didn't matter if he stayed here for a while.

Zhan couldn't help watching the excitement. Mingxuan thought about it, and turned his eyes to the room again.

After Lu Zixiu left, Chao Ling slowly put away the smile on his face. He slowly put away the three-foot official scroll full of ink characters, and raised his hand to beckon the steward who had been waiting outside the door for a long time:
"Send this thing to the Hou's Mansion, and then send a letter there, saying that it will be three quarters before the hour, see you at the old place."
