The Pearl of the Lady

Chapter 130
Dewen and martial arts, goods and imperial family.

Scholars all over the world are looking forward to being named on the gold list. If they can get the number one, it will be a great thing for their ancestors to accumulate virtue.

The carp leaps over the dragon gate, and the emperor sits in front of him.

Who is not a little excited.

Zhou Yi put the blue iris in his hand on the table, his face seemed to be quite relaxed, and he didn't care much, but his back was straight, his hands were on his lap, it was rude to look directly at the king, He just kept looking at the feet of the king above.

The second place name is Shi Kai, his favorite flower is gladiolus, and it took two hours to discuss Buddhism with the master of Yong'an Temple before he folded this Mei Xueqing. He also put the flower on the table, but he didn't stare at it, just stared at it. Looking at the cup on his desk, as if studying the pattern carefully.

Shen Yuran held Qionghua in his arms, thinking that the flower was still growing in the yard of Princess Anle just now, he felt that the flower was beautiful and the fragrance was intoxicating, so he stared at the flower and daydreamed, thinking of her face full of ink marks smile.

"Zhuangyuan Lang... Zhuangyuan Lang... Your Majesty is calling you."

The servant behind him called out twice before Shen Yuran realized, and saluted to the above, "The minister is here."

Wei Cheng said with a smile, "What is the champion thinking?"

"I'm sorry, didn't you think about anything?"

"Zhuangyuan Lang has been staring at the flower in his arms just now, what flower did you fold today?"

"Return to Your Majesty, what I folded is a viburnum flower."

Wei Sheng actually noticed it just now. In his heart, he felt that Zhuangyuan Lang was considered a talent, and he was worthy of Ah Fu, but his family environment was still not good. He didn't continue to talk about this topic, smiled slightly, and just said "Zhuangyuan Lang He is from the south of the Yangtze River, Qionghua is a famous flower in the south of the Yangtze River, and Zhuangyuan Lang also has a feeling of homesickness in his heart."

Shen Yuran also respected Princess Anle's reputation very much. When he was not sure that he could marry her, he shouldn't be so easily connected with her. He nodded, "I really thought of my hometown."

"Give me the wine, this is Chi Yangchun, it's a good wine from Jiangnan."

Facing these talented people who are going to serve the Great Zhou and dedicate their talents, Wei Sheng is very kind. He talked with the three of them, and he didn't seem to have a preference for anyone. Zhou Yi even felt that His Majesty valued his victory. Yu valued Shen Yuran.

The Palace Lantern illuminated the Hall of Mental Cultivation brightly, and there were only two father and son sitting in the hall, both holding bowls, obediently drinking the strange-tasting hangover soup.

Wei Sheng always needs to drink some alcohol at banquets. As the crown prince, Wei Yi is to share the burden for his father. After all, his father is not young. The queen is very worried that his drinking will hurt his health. The second is for exercise. It doesn't work either.

The queen ordered people to prepare the medicinal soup for sobering up and protecting the liver early on. The banquet was over, and the father and son returned to the Hall of Mental Cultivation in order to escape the medicinal soup, oh not because of unfinished business, but the medicinal soup still came after them. Wei Sheng had become a strict wife-manager several years ago. He was worried when he saw the medicinal soup, but he didn't dare not to drink it. He could only drag his son into the water together, and ordered the palace servants to "bring a big bowl for the prince."

The palace man took another bowl and replied: "Return to Your Majesty, the Empress has already prepared His Highness's portion."

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince didn't know what he was thinking, he took the medicine bowl absent-mindedly, and poured it down with his head raised.

Wei Sheng couldn't lose his father's dignity in front of his son, so he could only follow suit, drink it in one gulp, then quickly took a sip of water, and put another piece of candied fruit in his mouth, which made him feel better.

In fact, he has business to do, Wei Sheng told Wei Yi about the top three at the Qionglin Banquet today.

"The quality of this year's top three is still good."

Wei Yi nodded.

"Tell me your opinion?" Wei Sheng still felt a bitter taste in his mouth, and thought to himself, every time the anti-alcoholic medicine that A Yao sent was getting bitterer every time, he squeezed another candied fruit and put it in his mouth.

"This year's top three are all relatively young. Such people are more enterprising and want to make a career out of it, but there is also the possibility of being too aggressive and improperly handling things. They need experience and training."

Wei Sheng blinked and nodded.

"Tell me what you think of the three of them."

"Although Zhou Yi is talented, he tends to focus on poetry and books. My son has read his theories. His rhetoric is gorgeous and he uses a lot of allusions. At first glance, he feels that his literary talent is brilliant. If you read it carefully, you will find that the content is relatively empty. He He uses sharp terms for the disadvantages of the times, but does not have his own unique insights, let alone propose effective solutions.”

"Shi Kai's articles are well-balanced, but he has a good understanding of the situation of the people, and he looks timid, but he dares to tell the truth in his articles, which is very good, but he is more tactful, which I don't like. "

He looked up at Wei Sheng.

Wei Sheng felt a little proud in his heart, and smiled slightly, "Ah Yi's views on Zhou Yi are quite right. Zhou Yiwen is very popular, and most of his family's children are like this. They can enter the Imperial Academy in the future, and they are the best at editing books and writing. But that's all."

He took another sip of tea and said, "Shi Kai, this man is very smart. He is indeed timid. After all, he was born in the common people, but he dared to tell the truth in the article, which shows that he has confidence in this point. His confidence Where did it come from? Naturally, I have carefully studied the movements of the court during this period of time and judged what kind of officials I am looking for. As for being tactful? This is actually an advantage. He is tactful rather than treacherous. The first thing is to write a letter to my family, a smart person who cares about his family will not be so bad, he always has scruples and awe."

Wei Yi listened carefully to his father's words. After all, he was young, and his father's teaching was a very precious asset.

Wei Sheng smiled, "Originally I ordered Zhou Yi to be Tanhua, and I also heard that he was young and handsome. After all, the girls in Chang'an City who were Tanhua last year were unwilling to go to parade. I didn't expect that the number one scholar was better than Tanhua." handsome."

"What does Ah Yi think of the number one scholar?"

"En." Wei Yi buttoned his hand on the table, "Intelligent and talented, his articles have a young man's unrestrained sense of condemning Fang Qiu, and his articles are also beautiful, but they don't have that kind of pile of rhetoric Because of the solid content of CNPC in the article as the foundation, it has ambition, foresight, um, scheming and scheming.”

"Scheming, scheming?" Wei Sheng repeated with a smile, "Where did Ah Yi see it?"

"He folded flowers today, and he folded the viburnum flowers from his aunt's house, so he has a relationship with Gu Guogong's mansion. No matter which part he gets assigned to, no one will easily embarrass him in a short time, which will help him gain a firm foothold. .”

Hearing Wei Yi's explanation, Wei Sheng felt that it made some sense. He nodded, but also joked: "Maybe he is interested in us Ah Fu? Talented man and beautiful woman, what a story."

Wei Yi's expression remained unchanged, and he tapped the table lightly with his right index finger, "That shows that he has scheming intentions. Ah Fu is my aunt's only daughter. He must have seen Ah Fu's value. If he is interested in Ah Fu, It's inevitable that they didn't go for the power of Gu Guogong's family and aunt, how can such a person with an impure purpose treat Ah Fu well."

Wei Sheng took a sip of his tea, "Although this is just what you think, you are right to be worried. It's really hard to choose a husband and son-in-law for Ah Fu. We, Ah Fu, are so kind. We are always afraid that others will not be good enough for her. If we fail Ah Fu in the future, of course we can avenge Ah Fu, but Ah Fu will always be sad."

Wei Sheng thought worriedly, "Actually, it wouldn't be bad if you married into our family. Your mother and I can always take good care of her, and we are familiar with our cousin who played a lot."

Wei Yi's heart was pounding.

"Hey, what do you think of Qi'er? Qi'er has a loving personality."

Wei Yi's complexion was very bad, and before he could speak, Wei Sheng immediately continued: "No, He Jieyu and the third princess are not easy to get along with, it would be bad if Wei Qi was influenced by them."

Wei Yi breathed a sigh of relief.

"Otherwise, Wei Yu? She has a good temper and a good relationship with Ah Fu. If Ah Fu gets married, she will be the master of the palace and can take care of it."

"Wei Yu is three years younger than Ah Fu."

The more Wei Sheng thought about it, the more he felt that this was a good idea, "Female junior, holding a gold brick, I'll discuss it with your mother when I get back."

Wei Yi couldn't take it anymore, he stood up and pointed at himself.

He said very seriously: "Sound limbs, good facial features, smart and hardworking, a prince of a country, no guess at all, why can't I enter the reference range."

Wei Sheng was taken aback for a moment. He could tell that Wei Yi liked Ah Fu a long time ago, but everyone didn't say anything, so he just turned a blind eye. Today Wei Yi said it, so he couldn't do it too. I don't want to mess with it.

Wei Sheng looked at his son standing in the hall. The 15-year-old boy had already grown into a tree facing the wind. Standing there, he looked like a tall and straight plant, strong, flexible and stubborn. He looked into Wei Yi's eyes and said seriously: "Ah Fu is what we grew up with. He is smart, cute, sensible and caring. Besides you, your mother and I are the most attentive to Ah Fu. Even because Ah Fu is a girl, we dote on you even more. In the early years, We also thought that we could get closer and marry Ah Fu back to you as the crown princess."

"Don't blush yet." Wei Sheng waved his hand.

Wei Yi asked, "Why?"

"Your mother and I have only one son, and you were crowned prince when you were a baby. You understand what I expect of you. You will succeed the emperor in the future. As an emperor, you have unlimited rights and responsibilities. The world is beautiful. There are more women, and they all hope to be favored by you, you are still young, you may enjoy it, but Ah Fu will be wronged."

"I won't...I only like Ah Fu."

Wei Sheng nodded, but he didn't believe it in his heart. This was just his current thinking. When young people make promises, they always feel that they can do it, and it may not be so in the future.

"Then you still have responsibilities? You have to spread branches and leaves for the royal family, to balance the forces in the court, to..."

"So if I can completely control the front court so that no one of them dares to question my decision, then I can not wrong Ah Fu." He blushed, "Ah Fu can also open up for me."

Wei Sheng smiled slightly, and hurt Wei Yi with one sentence, "By the time you can do it, Ah Fu will be married long ago."
