Zhuang Fu Lang

The next day, the weather was gloomy and the cold wind was still bitter.Gu Changfeng and Shen Yanbei brought incense offerings such as wine, meat, paper, candles, ingots, etc. to worship the town’s grandpa.

"Father, the child came to see you. The child is not filial and could not give you the last ride..." Gu Changfeng's eyes were red, and he knelt in front of the tombstone with a thump, and slammed his head down firmly on the ground.

Shen Yanbei stared at the scarlet letter engraved on the tombstone and knelt beside Gu Changfeng.

"My father-in-law is here, and my son-in-law Shen Yanbei came to see him. Chang Feng had an accidental amnesia and couldn't remember his life experience, so he came back late. Please don't blame him." Shen Yanbei said sincerely, "Before my son-in-law. Poverty and destitute, Meng Changfeng will not give up, and I am willing to commit myself to me and take care of me carefully."

"Chang Fenggui is the eldest son of the Guogong Mansion, and my son-in-law has a low status and is often unworthy. But I love him more than him, so I came to see you brazenly."

"I have no power and no influence, but a sincere heart."

"I, Shen Yanbei, swear to the sky, no matter rich or poor, no matter health disease, no matter the good times and adversities of life, I will always only want to be with him, respect and love each other, depend on each other, accompany each other, and stay with each other for the rest of my life!"

"May you always witness to the spirit of heaven!"

Gu Changfeng's pupils trembled and suddenly turned to look at Shen Yanbei, eyes full of disbelief.

Every word of the young man fell on his heart, and he was enveloped in unspeakable surprises.

Shen Yanbei solemnly knocked on his head three times, then smiled slightly at him: "Okay, I have seen Mr. Guo Duke, what about my other father-in-law?"

Gu Changfeng's lips moved, and he looked straight at Shen Yanbei, his mood fluctuating, and it took a long time before he asked: "Do you mean that I am the only one in this life?"

Shen Yanbei touched his nose, a little embarrassed: "I originally wanted to talk to you when I wanted to get married, but..."

"I never thought of spending the rest of my life with anyone other than you."

In his opinion, no matter how much it is said, it is better to take actual actions to prove it.But at the father-in-law’s grave, he had to say something beautiful to make the elderly feel at ease, so he moved out the wedding oath.

Such serious words, he can never say it!

"Yanbei..." Gu Changfeng's mood was agitated, and the glow in his dark eyes was shining, "So do I."

"This life is the only king, life and death follow."

Shen Yanbei was taken aback. Gu Changfeng was saying bluntly: I love you, and I will be with you when I die.

A man as restrained as his wife is actually talking to him...

Shen Yanbei was both excited and distressed, and hurriedly shook his hand and said, "Our days are still long, why can't you die! Take me to see my father-in-law!"

"Yeah." Gu Changfeng held his hand back, feeling like sugar in his heart.

Gu Changfeng's biological father was buried in another place, and Shen Yanbei wondered in his heart: "Why didn't your father be buried with Guo Duke..." He stopped halfway through the conversation.

The ancients paid attention to the burial of husband and wife, and they were buried in the same tomb after death.Gu Changfeng's biological father was not buried with Zhen Guo Gong, it must be the ghost of the current Guo Gong wife!

Gu Changfeng's face was tense, and anger burned in his always calm black eyes.

"I want to get back what belongs to me, and choose a good day to put my father in the coffin and bury my father together!"

Shen Yanbei patted him on the shoulder, supporting silently.

After paying homage to the husband and wife of the town government, the two returned to the imperial city.Su Qingze was accompanied by the emperor but did not travel with them. The two enjoyed a rare two-person world.

Getting closer and closer to the day when the test was held, countless people gathered in the imperial city.In the inn and teahouse, there is nowhere to see those in Tsing Yi and Confucian shirts discussing articles or making friends and laughing.

Shen Yanbei did not participate in their discussion, but listened.Before heading north, Li Zhiyuan read his article and said that his writing is fluent. Although the words and sentences in the article are not gorgeous, they can be advanced in conception, novel in point of view, simple in style and unique in style.As long as you have a steady mind, the title of the gold list is not difficult, but to go further, you need to figure out the mind of the person who wrote the question, and cater to it or refute it with reason. This can leave a deep impression on people, from hundreds to thousands. Stand out among the candidates!

He entered the restaurant these few days and heard that many candidates were discussing current affairs, and he had a good impression of Zhao Yu, the ruler.Let the scholars speak freely, they can hear different voices, and they can adopt useful opinions.

"Brother Shen?"

Suddenly an unfamiliar voice heard in his ear, and Shen Yanbei looked up, calling him a gentle-faced young man.

The young man looked familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere.Shen Yanbei thought for a while, and said with a smile: "Brother Zhang!" The young man is his colleague, and the third place in the Qinghe County Township Examination last year was Zhang Cheng from Qingzhou.

Zhang Cheng saw that there were only two of them at the table, and couldn't help asking, "Didn't Young Master Su come to Yongjing with you? Why didn't you see him."

Are you looking for Su Qingze?Shen Yanbei smiled faintly: "He has gone to meet friends."

"So..." Zhang Cheng looked a little regretful, "The Su family married a daughter and I went to have a wedding wine. Only then did I hear about Young Master Su going north with you. If I knew this was the case, I would walk with you cheeky..."

"The Su family married a daughter?" Shen Yanbei raised his eyebrows, "Is Miss Su San married?"

Zhang Cheng nodded: "That's right, Miss Su is married to King Jinyang as a side concubine. The Su family put on the running water table for three days and three nights."

I've heard Su Qingze mention this before, but I didn't expect that Miss Su San really walked in the dark.Shen Yanbei shook his head in his heart, and suddenly remembered something.

At the beginning, Li Yi, a member of Lijiacun, entangled Su Qingze, and the emperor directly ordered Li Zhiyuan to send him to prison.The king of Jinyang designed Su Qingze and almost succeeded. Why didn't the emperor react?

And the Su family, Mrs. Su Jingheng and Mrs. Wei hated King Jinyang to death, so why did he so blatant about Su Ruizhen's marriage to the Prince Jinyang Palace?

Shouldn't...

Frowning lightly, Shen Yanbei intuitively felt that things were not as simple as they were on the surface, but he couldn't understand how a little man could understand.

Zhang Cheng was originally unfamiliar with Su Qingze, but only wanted to see Su Qingze before he came to say hello. Now Su Qingze is not there, and he left after greeting Shen Yanbei.

"This process seems to be interested in Qingze. It's a pity!" Su Qingze is the emperor wanted, who would dare to grab it?

"Qingze doesn't like him." Gu Changfeng did not agree with his pity.Both of them are in Qingzhou. If this person had already acted on Su Qingze, why wait until now?Wasn't it just watching Su Qingze slim down?

It can be seen that this person doesn't like Su Qingze himself, but his beautiful appearance.

"No, no..." Shen Yanbei said in a low voice, "I don't feel a pity for Zhang Cheng, I feel a pity for Qingze."

"He had many choices, but now..."

The unfinished words are all in the secretive eyes.

On the ninth day of February, the exciting test finally kicked off, and people from all over the country gathered in front of Kyoto Gongyuan.

The process of the examination is similar to that of the township examination, except that the entrance and exit inspections are more stringent. The examination room environment is much better than that of the local Gongyuan. At least the hut is located at the other end of the Gongyuan, so candidates don't have to endure the tormenting smell.

The examination room still does not provide any food, only lighting and charcoal stove to keep warm.Candidates can boil water and cook their own rice.

This nationwide examination has a strong lineup. In addition to being guarded by strict soldiers, the number of invigilators has increased and the weight has increased. There are more important court officials to preside over the examination. The chief examiners are the cabinet scholar Zhang Youzheng Zhang and the Minister of Ritual Shangshu Zhou.

Shen Yanbei, who had the experience of the previous exam, quietly queued up for a body search, obtained the number plate, and then found his own room in a familiar way and took the baffle in.

The test is divided into three examinations, with one day interval between each examination, which will be held on the ninth of February, 13th of February, and 17th of February.

The content of the examination is slightly deeper than that of the township examination, and in the end there is a big question-how to treat border wars and whether to make peace with barbarians?Why?

Because Gu Changfeng's father went after the enemy deep into the grassland and died of illness, Shen Yanbei studied the barbarians.He had been in contact with the emperor and had a general understanding of the emperor’s character. He was very sure that this question was probably the most fierce controversy in the court. The emperor could not decide, so he asked the question, hoping that all the people would gather ideas and enlighten him. .

Shen Yanbei felt a little bit like cheating.Knowing the five thousand years of history in China, he can rationally analyze the pros and cons of war, and to figure out the meaning of the emperor from the emperor’s character and behavior can make him sure that the emperor is mostly inclined to war.

The words that the emperor said to Gu Changfeng that night were faintly persuading Gu Changfeng to take the road arranged for him by the town government.

...Perhaps the emperor just lacked a reason to convince everyone.

The so-called soldiers and horses have not moved, the food and grass go first.

He had a way to make the issue of grain production arouse Li Zhiyuan's attention, and even the emperor's attention.The emperor was so nervous about farming, he immediately ordered Li Zhiyuan to vigorously promote it after confirming that his method of increasing production was useful...

The emperor's move is most likely to prepare forage.

Shen Yanbei raised a pen and brushed his ink, and decided to send this reason up.

Main battle.

Those who are clearly offenders will be punished even if they are far away!

Time passed between writing and writing, waiting for Shen Yanbei to finish writing the last stroke of Fang Jue's wrist soreness.

Looking at the essays on the paper, Shen Yanbei took a deep breath and checked it twice. After confirming that it was correct, Shen Yanbei got up and twisted his neck, moved his stiff shoulder, and turned in the paper.

The candidates were all around with their heads answering questions, and no one turned in the papers in advance.

Shen Yanbei calmly handed in the papers, Master Shang Shuzhou of the Ministry of Etiquette stroked his beard and frowned slightly: "Did you answer all of them?"

"Yes."

"There is still time, why are you so anxious?" Lord Zhou did not read his papers, but sternly said, "The young man must be calm."

Shen Yanbei just smiled.He wrote everything that should be written, and checked it correctly. Although the first paper submission was very public, but sitting in such a narrow space and let Gu Changfeng wait outside, it is better to go out to breathe fresh air in advance.

"Who handed in the paper?" Zhang Youzheng walked over from the opposite side, glanced at Shen Yanbei, and then picked up the paper.

The next moment, Zhang Youzheng's face changed suddenly, his eyes fixed on the paper.

Shen Yanbei saluted the two and withdrew gently.

Zhang Youzheng yelled as he watched:

"wonderful!"

"It's wonderful!"

When he came back to look for people, he only saw the handsome young man walking away.

Many people outside the courtyard stared nervously at the gate, and suddenly saw a gentle young man walking out slowly, and they couldn't help but look sideways.

"Hey, it's not time yet, why did this guy come out early? Did he fail the exam?"

"Looking at his calm look, where does it seem like a test failure?"

"I guess I gave up..."

Standing at the gate of Gongyuan, Shen Yanbei narrowed his eyes and looked up.The place you look at is azure blue with white clouds.

From winter to spring, everything rejuvenates, the weather is getting warmer and the sun is brighter.

When the temperature rises again, his pepper seeds can be planted.

But before that, he has to buy some land first!

I have to buy a house and do some business...

"Yanbei!"

Gu Changfeng and Zhou Yu squeezed out of the crowd and looked at him with worry: "What happened? Why did you come out early?"

"Miss you." Shen Yanbei whispered in his ear, saying, with a big hand, "After the exam, let's go home!"
