Xie Changqing tossed his sleeves and left, leaving everyone standing at the door.
"Don't take what he says to heart." Fang Lan curled his lips dissatisfied and said softly, "Just treat it as bullshit!"
Xie Li's expression did not change and he nodded slowly, "My nephew knows what he is doing."
"Get in the car." Fang Lan patted his shoulder and said with a smile, "Don't miss the time."
Everyone walked out together and crossed the high threshold. Fang Xu paused, turned around and looked in the direction Xie Changqing left, his eyes gradually deepening.
For some reason, she always had a bad feeling in her heart.
"Xiao Xu, what are you doing standing still?"
Hearing the sound, Fang Xu came back to his senses and looked up.
Fang Lan sat on the carriage and waved to her.
Fang Xu suppressed the strange feeling in his heart, looked sideways at Su Zi, and lowered his voice, "You stay in the house and keep an eye on the pine garden. If there is any abnormal movement, stop it in time."
Su Zi understood Madam's intention, nodded and said, "Don't worry Madam, there are slaves in the house to take care of you."
Fang Xu hummed, and the unhappiness in his heart became more serious, so he had to warn again, "If anything happens, go to Liu Fanyin in time. She is the princess after all. If we really compare, Xie Changqing may not dare to touch her."
"yes."
Fang Xu calmed down and walked toward the carriage.
-
The morning light and the cool autumn breeze.
The carriage stopped steadily in front of the largest tribute courtyard in Yanjing, and several people got off the carriage one after another.
"This is the largest examination room in Beijing, Yanjing Gongyuan." Fang Lan held her sister's hand with a smile in her eyes.
Fang Xu raised his head and his eyes fell on the building not far away.
The Gongyuan covers an extremely large area, and Fang Xu can't even see the ends of the two sides at a glance. The entrance is guarded by special soldiers, and everyone entering and exiting must be inspected on the inside and outside on the third floor.
"Second brother, do you want to stay here for nine days?" Xie Wanzhou had never seen Gongyuan before, and felt strange in his heart.
Xie Li nodded, his voice soft, but his nervousness could still be heard, "Nine days and six nights."
Fang Xu raised his hand and patted the cloth bag on his shoulder, and said softly, "It contains dried meat and dried ginseng for you. It can be used as a cushion when you are hungry. I have asked about it. Gongyuan is the place where food is stored, although the price is slightly higher." It’s more expensive, but you want to eat it too, so you don’t have to save it for me, the family is not short of this ration.”
Xie Li clutched the cloth bag on his chest, his eyes were a little red, and he stared at Fang Xu for a long time, then lowered his head and murmured, "Thank you, mother."
"I'm your mother, why do you need to say thank you to me?" Fang Xu smiled, patted him, and whispered.
Xie Li shook his head, his eyes moist, "Mother knows what I mean, right?"
Fang Xu paused, looked up at the young man in front of him, and after a long while he smiled, "Of course I know."
She's not my own mother, but she's better than my own mother, so I'm naturally grateful.
Xie Li was unhappy when he was young and lived a transparent life. Now Fang Xu has chopped the shackles that bound him to pieces with his own strength. It's like the kindness of rebuilding, which cannot be ignored.
Fang Xu, a Bole who has a keen eye for recognizing heroes, will definitely leave a lasting impression on the young man's heart.
Fang Xu looked at him from head to toe, and his eyes felt a little hot.
At this moment, she also clearly felt that she was gradually accepting this place, accepting Xie Li, accepting Xie Wanzhou, and accepting her new identity.
"Go ahead," Fang Xu blinked and pushed back the tears, "Mother will wait for you to return home from high school and cook the pot for you to eat."
When Xie Li heard this, the tension in his heart eased a lot. He bent his eyes and smiled, "My son will definitely work hard, it's... for the pot!"
"Good son-in-law!"
A loud and high-pitched voice came, extremely harsh.
Everyone followed the sound and saw the carriage from the General's Mansion speeding towards them. Sein Fei leaned half of his body out of the window and waved wildly towards them.
"Uncle Song?" Xie Li was dumbfounded and took two steps forward.
When the carriage stopped, Sein Fei jumped out of the carriage, walked quickly to Xie Li, and said with a loud smile, "My dear son-in-law, my father-in-law is here to help you!"
Xie Li had no choice but to smile warmly and said, "Uncle Song, this title is a bit early."
Seinfeld waved his hand, "Don't worry about those details."
Xie Li smiled, but his eyes couldn't help but look inside the carriage.
Song Fei saw what he was thinking and laughed heartily, "Don't look for my dear son-in-law anymore. At this hour, Jiaojiao is probably still sleeping!"
Xie Li suppressed the emotions in his eyes and raised the corners of his mouth, "It's still early, so there's nothing wrong with her sleeping more."
Song Fei patted him on the shoulder, with a look of helplessness on his face, "Good son-in-law, your father-in-law, I just like your temperament!"
Xie Li pursed her thin lips, smiled politely, and said in a low voice, "Uncle Song, it's late, I'll go to the examination room first."
"Go ahead, go ahead!" Song Fei waved his hand, his face filled with relief, "I'm waiting for the good news from my dear son-in-law!"
Xie Li turned around, clasped his fists and bowed to everyone, and said in a deep voice, "Thank you for your support. Xie Li will live up to everyone's expectations and win the first place!"
After saying this, Xie Li took a deep look at a few people, turned around and walked towards Gongyuan without looking back.
When he came to the door, Xie Li was stopped by the doorman, "Put the cloth bag here."
Xie Li obeyed, untied the knot, and placed the cloth bag on the table.
The two guards came forward and looked through the contents of the bag.
The contents in the cloth bag were simple, including more than a kilogram of beef jerky and dried ginseng, a purse of broken silver, a wooden sign with Xie Li's name written on it, and a set of pen, ink, paper and inkstone, among which the holder of the brush was hollowed out.
After making sure there were no cheat sheets hidden in these things, the guards let people in.
"Thank you." Xie Li took the things and walked forward.
In front of him was a red painted copper door, with two guards sitting on one side, with a roster in hand.
Xie Li took out the sign from his bag and handed it to one of them.
The man took the sign, looked at it, and said to his companion, "Xie Li, the second son of the Marquis of Yongcheng."
The companion recorded it truthfully. After writing the name, he handed Xie Li a sign again and said expressionlessly, "Jade number, room eight."
"There are three imperial examinations in total. One lasts for three days and two nights, totaling nine days and six nights. Food is served at the same time every day. Someone will take you out after two nights. Is there anything else you don't understand?"
Xie Li shook his head, "I know everything, thank you."
The guard nodded politely and said in a low voice, "Master, please come inside."
Xie Li tightened his grip on the sign and stepped forward.
The sound of horse hooves was suddenly heard at the intersection, and many people heard the sound and went to see Song Huixin, dressed in red, riding a horse with a heroic appearance.
Seeing the crowd, Song Huixin shouted to drive and increased his speed.
Approaching him, Song Huixin turned over and dismounted, looked around and looked at Fang Xu opposite, breathing heavily, "Madam, I'm late, where is Xie Li?"
Fang Xu raised his chin towards the Gongyuan and said softly, "The time has come, we have already entered."
Song Huixin was a little absent-minded, looking at the big house in front of him without making a sound.
At this moment, Xie Li, who was walking around the corner, seemed to notice something and turned around to look out the door.
When Song Huixin saw this, he immediately stood on tiptoes and waved his arms vigorously.
When Xie Li saw her, he felt a little relieved suddenly for some reason, and he probably didn't even notice the smile on his lips.
