The Biography of Concubine Xi of Yongzheng

Chapter 151
"...Brother Li has enough money?" Not far from the table where Yinzhen was sitting, there were three scholars who looked like scholars whispering.

"Not enough... In order to donate to his future, my father has already sold the old house of his ancestors..." The man called Brother Li sighed softly, and threw a peanut into his mouth.

"Brother Li has a bright future. He's not like me. You can only envy him. When Brother Li gets rich, you can't forget about him." The man in the blue shirt took over the conversation.

"What are you talking about? Let's not say that the money is not all in at the moment. Even if we are all in, we still have to wait for the opportunity to fill in the vacancy..." Brother Li opened his mouth again.

"That's just around the corner. Are you afraid that you won't be able to wait for that opportunity after donating money? Brother Li, let's have a toast..."

Yanhua was eating happily at first, but seeing that Yinzhen only took two pieces of tofu and chewed slowly in his mouth, as if he was listening, he also increased his chewing speed and started to listen.

It's okay not to listen, but upon hearing this, she couldn't help raising her head in surprise, wanting to ask aloud.

Yinzhen held down her leg under the table, shook her head slightly, and signaled her to keep silent.

Yan Hua understood, she lowered her head and took another sip of soup.When she saw Yinzhen's appearance at this time, she understood his purpose of going downstairs to eat. It turned out to be to eavesdrop on other people's conversation, but what she heard made her heart startled.

When Yanhua quickly finished a small bowl with small mouthfuls, Yinzhen only ate half of the bowl.

She lowered her head in embarrassment, she was embarrassed to serve the food again, she just lowered her eyes and chewed carefully with a chopstick from time to time.

After listening intently for a while, Yinzhen saw that the bottom of Yanhua's bowl was empty, so he asked naturally: "But do you want to add some more?"

Yanhua nodded in embarrassment, but it was true that she was not full yet, so she hesitated for a while.

Just when she was hesitating, Yinzhen took the rice bowl in front of her to him, and then picked up his own rice bowl and gave her more than half of the rice in it.

"Ah! You... I'm full, no need..." Shy and anxious, she raised her hand to cover the mouth of the bowl to prevent him from pushing the rice in.

Yinzhen raised an eyebrow, and smiled faintly: "I'm not used to the rice here, if you don't eat it, it's a waste."

Yanhua was stunned for a moment, then withdrew her hand embarrassingly.Rather than wasting it, it would be better for her to eat it.But he couldn't help but slander a few words in his heart, he only said that after all he was used to fine clothes and fine food, although the rice in this inn is not as fragrant and soft as the one in Baylor's house, it is also very soft and not unpalatable.

After Yinzhen almost poured all the rice left in her bowl into hers, she blushed and took the bowl in her hand, and pulled it up sullenly.

Yinzhen stared at her with tenderness in his eyes: "Eat slowly." As he spoke, he lifted a chopstick and put a piece of braised pork into her bowl.

Yan Hua swallowed her saliva, her face turned redder with embarrassment, and she murmured weakly: "You said I...have gained weight again, I should eat less meat."

"It's good to grow heavier, it feels comfortable to the touch." Yinzhen suddenly leaned into her ear and whispered.

Yanhua's face immediately became bloodshot, she raised her eyes in horror and looked around, and she became even more ashamed when she saw two men glanced at this place with ambiguous faces.She glanced at Yinzhen secretly, put down a hand secretly, pulled Yinzhen's gown from under the table, and complained in a low voice: "How can you say such things in such a large audience... It's embarrassing to death It's..."

Brother Li and the three chatted for a while, always felt that someone was watching them, and looked around warily, when they saw Yinzhen and Yanhua, they were flirting and flirting, there was no suspicion, only felt that this place was inappropriate Discussing the matter of donating the future, they stopped talking and chatted about other things.

Yinzhen glanced at Brother Li and the three of them indifferently, smiled lightly, and leaned slightly to Yanhua's ear: "I just said that I listened to you, it's a normal thing, why would you say something shameful."

Yanhua couldn't say no to him, she bit her lower lip lightly, gave him a quick look, then lowered her head.

Her cheeks were flushed, her eyes were full of water, and her shyness when she bowed her head added an indescribable charm to her. Yinzhen was stunned for a moment, and said again: "It's okay to be heavier. It's not good, it's much better than that weak Liu Fufeng."

"Then you always joke that you won't be able to hold me anymore." Yanhua complained faintly after swallowing the food in her mouth.

"Fool, how can I be so stubborn, if I can't even hold your weight, can I still be considered a man?"

Yanhua was overjoyed, she pursed her lips and gave a big smile, but she didn't reply because there was rice in her mouth.

"I heard that the emperor is not in the capital. If I am lucky enough to see him, maybe I will be appreciated by the emperor, and I will do it for an official..." Brother Li and the three finally couldn't help being silent, and talked about their careers again.

"Pfft... you got it, you dare to face the saint with the little stuff in your stomach? Maybe the emperor sent you to the frontier to pick up soil in a fit of anger when he saw that you didn't have any ink in your stomach!" The man in the blue shirt He was so teased that he spit out half of the wine in his mouth, "Besides, do you know where the emperor has gone? Even if you know, I'm afraid that you will be beaten to death by the officers and soldiers as a bandit before you get close."

"I can't, but Brother Li can. He is a scholar after all. He has participated in the provincial examination, and he will definitely be the top three in the next scientific examination!"

These words are very useful, Li Xiucai said modestly with a smile on his face after hearing this: "Brother Wu is too famous, Li is not talented, it's just good luck."

"How can it be luck? Scientific examinations are all based on their own abilities. If the last scientific examination could have been bought earlier..." The man who sprayed the wine just now consciously slipped his mouth, quickly closed his mouth, and looked around warily. look……

Yinzhen frowned when he heard this, he had just heard these three people talk about donating officials, so he looked at them carefully, all three of them looked eager for success and profit, and there was no look of practicality and hard work between their brows. I'm afraid they are people who are greedy for utilitarianism but have little talent.It's just that after listening to these words, he felt that things were far more simple than he thought. Could it be possible that there were missing questions in the previous imperial examination?
He frowned, staring at the green vegetable leaf floating on the soup in front of him for a moment.

When he looked up again, the three of them had already got up and left.

After eating and drinking, Yanhua took a look outside: "Huh? The rain has stopped."

The two who had been peeking at Yanhua lewdly just now, also looked out after hearing her words, seeing the dark clouds quickly dissipate like a magic trick, looking at the clear sky outside, they took another sneaky look at Yanhua, We made an appointment to visit the kiln together.

Yinzhen was displeased, and looked at the backs of the two people coldly, and then winked at a table not far away.

The people at the table were his guards who had changed into civilian clothes and sat there guarding Yinzhen under Wei Chang'an's order.Four of the guards got Yinzhen's wink, got up immediately, followed the two out carefully.They followed the two wretched men, and when they reached a secluded place, they put two sacks on their heads, beat them up, and then clapped their hands and spit at them: " Bah! Take care of your dog eyes in the future, not everyone can be looked at by you so lewdly!"

The people in the inn who were trapped by the rain left one after another, the bustle just now suddenly became silent, and the woman who was playing the pipa and singing a little song on the stage finished the last song, also put away her things and retreated calmly go down.

This time, the entire inn was completely deserted.

Seeing that Yanhua had finished eating, Yinzhen stood up and stretched out his hand to her: "Let's go, let's go to the embankment to have a look."

The torrential rain came quickly and fell fiercely, but it went away as soon as it was said.

Wei Chang'an had already sent someone to drive another carriage over, and after Yinzhen carried her into the carriage, the coachman gave a soft shout, raised his whip and drove the horse towards the nearest embankment.Wherever he was running, a splash of water was splashed.

After the rain, the weather is particularly good.The green grass on the embankment is luxuriant, and the willows by the river are covered with green silk ribbons, fluttering with the breeze, like a pretty woman dressing up in front of the river.

After looking at the embankment for a while, Yinzhen suddenly caught a glimpse of a bright neon hanging in the sky, pointed to that neon and said to Yanhua, "Chanchan, what is that?"

Yanhua looked at the tender green willow sticks, and was thinking whether to fold a few back and stick them on the door frame to ward off evil spirits, but after hearing Yinzhen's soft call, she hurriedly looked in the direction of his fingers.But before he could look at it in the future, he quickly pulled his finger back: "Put it down, put it down, they say that the neon lights on your fingers will rot your fingers!"

Yinzhen gave her a helpless look: "Chanchan really knows how to talk."

"It's true, that's what the folks say." Yanhua pouted aggrievedly.

The colorful neon is like a colorful bridge connecting the world and fairyland, which makes people yearn for it infinitely.

Because they were worried that their shoes would get wet, the two just sat outside the carriage and watched.After Yanhua saw the gorgeous neon lights, she couldn't help but take Yinzhen's arm, put her head on his shoulder and said with emotion: "It's so beautiful! If we can always watch the sunrise and sunset together, and the clouds rise and fall, Chanchan will be content."

Yinzhen didn't have the heart to look at these, he glanced at the river embankment from a distance, and frowned slightly.There was only one rainstorm today, and the river has risen so much. Fengyang Mansion has been raining for more than half a month, but there is no flood yet.

He didn't believe it. After all, the spies he sent went to several prefectures and counties in Fengyang Prefecture, and they haven't found any floods yet, and the small-scale flooding stopped in time.He was only worried that if the rain continued like this, the dams in Fengyang Mansion might not be able to withstand such a large drainage.

"Lord Baylor...what are you worrying about?" Seeing that he was worried and disinterested, Yan Hua couldn't help asking, "There are always endless state affairs, if you can't think of a solution for a while , maybe after letting the brain rest for a while, it will suddenly come up with a good idea."
