Chapter 829

72nd dragon scale (V)

"Why doesn't my brother go out to play?" Linglong askew her head and asked, she is really rare to see such wonderful flowers as Xie Ji. It seems to him that as long as he is with his sister, everything else is not attractive to him. "Won't it be boring to be with me every day?"

Xie Ji heard the speech and smiled: "what do you waste so much time on irrelevant people and listen to them read a few sour poems? Naturally, it's more important to stay at home with you. "

He always knew what he wanted. After his life was stable, he couldn't sleep at night. He always dreamed of his mother's voice and face. He wanted to raise his son but didn't wait for him. Where could he finish the pain in a few words? He has only one relative left in the world. He will never let her leave his side, nor will he make her cry. No one can compare with his sister.

Xie Ji is not the kind of young master who doesn't touch the spring water at home. As long as he is at home, no matter what strange ideas Linglong comes up with or what unprecedented things he wants to eat, he is willing to play drums with her, and even put forward his own suggestions to improve the prescription. He never goes to those poems.

For example, rubbing gluten... Normal people are going crazy when rubbing. Xie Ji can squat in the small kitchen and rub it all afternoon.

Guan Zhuo came back drunk in the evening. He was drunk and smelled of fat and powder. Xie Ji looked coldly and asked Changsheng to send Guan Zhuo back to his room. He decided to drive the man out the next day. He still had a sister in his family. It's bad to see such an out of tune person all day!

Guan Zhuo woke up with a hangover and found that his brother Ji was going to drive him away. He cried and almost didn't kneel down and hold his thigh. Xie Ji ignored him. He treated him as cold and ruthless as winter. Finally, Guan Zhuo had to leave with his package. Fortunately, there was an inn nearby, so he stayed there for the time being, but he wasn't angry, It's mainly because Xie Ji is willing to let him live at home. It's a blessing he has cultivated in his eighth life, not to mention that he has finished the exam. People don't need to keep him, do they?

My sister is fourteen years old. Next year will be Ji Ji. He is a foreign man living in a family. To be honest, Guan Zhuo knows his shame no matter how thick skinned he is.

He dares to say that if someone chews the root of his sister's tongue one day, brother Ji can kill him after pulling out those people's tongue!

However, on the release day, Guan Zhuo tossed and turned on the bed of the inn the night before. Before dawn the next day, he ran to Xie Ji's house and patted the door. The concierge was sleepy and speechless: "master Guan, it's not light yet!"

"Oh, but all the candidates in the same inn as me got up to see the list! Where's brother Ji? Hasn't brother Ji got up yet? "

"Our master let Changsheng pass in advance last night. Later, Changsheng will come back after watching it."

Guan Zhuo:... Sorry, I lost.

Changsheng is very clever. He remembered what young master Guan said about catching his son-in-law under the list. He was afraid that their master would be exposed. Xie Ji had asked him to stay in an inn for a night and wait for the list to be released. This guy is nice and saves money. He took a straw mat directly and waited at the door... Changsheng woke up when there was a movement and saw more and more people waiting for the list to be released, He occupied a good position. At dawn, the servants knocked on the gong and came out to clear the road. Changsheng widened his big eyes and stared at the red paper without blinking.

He has confidence in his family and looks directly at the first place!

The main reason is that Xie Ji's previous performance was so excellent. He never won a place other than the first place in the examination of his husband or in the scientific examination. When he saw that his father's name was at the top of the list, he wanted to laugh in his long life. Of course, he held back, covered his mouth and smiled secretly to avoid being seen and found that he was too happy to rob their father as a son-in-law. Don't think he didn't see it, There are many servants with big arms and round waist around here!

Just about to leave, he remembered that there was another annoying young master Guan, so Changsheng began to look for him from the last. The experienced man spent only a moment reading the list. One end was perfect.

Xie Ji accompanied his sister to play after breakfast. While playing, he also peeled melon seeds for his sister. Seeing Guan Zhuo walking around, he said, "sit down."

Concise and comprehensive, Guan Zhuo counselled.

Seeing Xie Ji's calm clouds and light wind, Guan Zhuo couldn't help but say, "brother Ji, aren't you in a hurry?"

"Nothing urgent." Xie Ji said quietly, "I know I will win."

Guan Zhuo:

Sorry to bother, maybe this is learning God!

Soon Changsheng came back. As soon as he got home, he no longer covered up his inner ecstasy and shouted, "my Lord! You're in! I'm number one again! "

Xie Ji's face was calm. It seemed that this first did not make him very happy. Only his heart knew that he was really happy. At least it was another step away from his goal of becoming famous. And Guan Zhuo looked eagerly at Changsheng: "what about me? What about me? Do you have me? Do you have me? "

Changsheng scratched his head: "master Guan also won, but he was the last."

He thinks too much. Guan Zhuo won't be unbalanced at all. He will only be ecstatic... After all, he knows how many kilograms he has. This time, he can win, not because of his strength, but because of luck!

Guan Zhuo was right. He didn't really have anything to do with him. However, when he rechecked the paper, there was an ink idea on the last paper. The official who rechecked couldn't hold sand in his eyes. He eliminated the man without reason, so Guan Zhuo rose one inexplicably and just hung on his tail

Compared with Guan Zhuo's ecstasy, Xie Ji is much more stable. It seems that whether he is the first is not so important to him. Guan Zhuo feels more and more admiration. No wonder brother Ji can become a great weapon. Look at his temperament! This mind! If I got the first place in the exam, I'm afraid I didn't run naked in the street excitedly!

Because there will be a palace test three days later, Rao Shiguan Zhuo will also temporarily embrace Buddha's feet. Although he has won, what if he gets the emperor's green eye on the day of the palace test?

Xie Ji went shopping with his sister for the first time. Since they arrived in the capital, he has been studying hard and rarely went out. The palace examination is imminent. Rao is Xie Ji, and he is not nervous. He can't see it no matter how he reads. He has mixed feelings and is in a mess. He simply doesn't look at it and goes out for a walk.

Naturally, the capital is more prosperous than Fengcheng. Linglong's favorite is the snack stalls on the roadside. She wants to taste almost everything, and then she gives all she can't eat to her brother... Xie Ji doesn't hate to eat her leftovers. During the most difficult period, both brother and sister eat separately. Xie Ji has developed a frugal temperament and never wastes food, Fortunately, later, she raised bean buns, and she could eat all the food she couldn't eat. Otherwise, Linglong felt that her brother could really support herself and eat all the leftovers

She is fourteen years old and is very beautiful. Especially when she smiles, she is even more dazzling than the sun. The stall owners have a great attitude. Half buy and half give. After all, who doesn't like such a beautiful and clear girl? However, the young people behind her look gentle but full of momentum, which people dare not underestimate.

After eating and drinking all day, Linglong was happy when he came home. Xie Ji's mouth was also filled with a smile. Guan Zhuo, who was dizzy with reading, was envious. Therefore, he became more and more nervous about the upcoming palace exam. He didn't sleep all night the night before. The next morning, he appeared in front of Xie Ji's brothers and sisters with two huge panda eyes.

Xie Ji:

Linglong:

Linglong insists on sending Xie Ji, but the carriage can't enter the imperial city. She can only wait outside the palace at the specified place. If she exceeds the standard, she will be punished. However, the carriage of the Xie family is only simple in appearance. It is very comfortable and convenient after Linglong's transformation. She can play alone for a long time.

She watched Xie jizai being introduced into the Imperial Palace and refused to put down the curtain of the carriage. It happened that someone beat the horse and passed by. The horse was afraid of her. As soon as her front knee was soft, Linglong raised her head and looked at the people on the horse. Her eyes were clear and innocent, black and round. She was so beautiful that she saw the man stunned. Then Linglong smiled at him, opened her hand, and returned to the carriage again.

The man clamped his horse's belly with his leg and walked a few steps. After a moment, he didn't turn back and stopped his eyes on the seemingly ordinary carriage.

Then Linglong waited until the afternoon and Xie Ji came out. His face was as usual and he didn't see any depression. On the contrary, Guan Zhuo looked exhausted. As soon as he got on the bus, Guan Zhuo complained: "the emperor was too dignified. At that time, I was so scared that I didn't dare to say a word, and the papers were messy... It's not like brother Ji. The emperor appreciated him very much and didn't expect anything, I'll ask brother Ji to be the number one scholar tomorrow morning. "

The brothers and sisters were too calm. Xie Ji said, "the ranking won't come out until tomorrow. You don't have to worry."

Guan Zhuo patted his leg: "I'm not in a hurry, I'm scared."

The next morning, the Gongshi who took part in the palace examination entered the palace early in the morning. Xie Ji was indeed named the number one scholar. When wandering the street, two people were full of people watching the excitement. Many girls' families tried their best to throw sachets and embroidered handkerchiefs on him. Linglong asked Changsheng to book the box on the second floor of the teahouse early. At this time, she just saw her brother fascinated thousands of girls.

The number one scholar Lang is handsome, unmarried, and has the appearance of a divine man. Not to mention the common people, the emperor has never seen such an outstanding number one scholar lang. he points Xie Ji as the number one scholar. In addition to Xie Ji's outstanding talent, this face is also a great contribution. On the contrary, it is the second place and flower exploration at the back. One year of no doubt and one year of standing are not ugly, but compared with the 19-year-old number one scholar Lang, That's an old cucumber painted green.

So the girls' screams, embroidered handkerchiefs, sachets and so on have no part in them at all.

Linglong and Xie Ji have lived together for many years. It can be said that she is the one who knows Xie Ji best in the world. Although her brother looks very calm, she is keenly aware of the difference. Thinking of this, she raises her hands around her mouth and shouts, "shape - yuan - Lang -!"

Xie Ji immediately raised her head when she heard her sister's voice and saw that she was waving to herself on the second floor. She unconsciously showed a gentle smile, so that the big girls and daughter-in-law on the street blushed one after another. Then Linglong shouted again, "you -- good -- handsome -- ah!"

Xie Ji couldn't help it this time. He had never seen his master's smile in his long life. He immediately looked like a ghost. On second thought, he felt that it was normal for him to smile at the young lady.

Although a big red flower on the chest of a red Python robe looked stupid, Xie Ji just carried it down by relying on his extraordinary beauty and temperament. He was so proud that the top two and Tanhua immediately sympathized with each other. It's not that they are too weak, but that their opponents are too strong

When he got home, he thanked the guests who came to celebrate and gave the red seal to the people who came to report the good news. Xie Ji waved back and took Linglong's hand. The brother and sister sat in the study. Linglong vaguely felt that he had something to say, but he didn't know what could make Xie Ji so serious. " Brother? "

"Long'er, when the emperor appointed the top three today, several important officials were present."

Exquisite crooked head, and then?

"... I saw him."

This "he", of course, is their father. Xie Fengwang, who has been missing for many years and has no life or death. As early as Linglong was sensible, Xie Ji told her about her father. Her mother was still waiting for this heartless man before she died. Xie Ji also wanted to find the man and let him kowtow and admit his mistake in front of her mother's grave.

"However, he has changed his name and no longer called Xie Fengwang. I asked the little eunuch. He said that his name is Wei ZEWANG. He is the Duke of Xinyang personally granted by the emperor, the son-in-law of big Sima Luo Sanqing and the husband of Princess Huyang. It is said that many years ago, he joined the big Sima with his white body, fought with the big Sima and made great contributions. He is an indomitable hero. "

When he said these words, Xie Ji's tone was very calm. Linglong grabbed Xie Ji's hand and found that his fingers trembled slightly, which showed how violent the storm was in his heart.

"It's said that Xinyang Hou and Princess Huyang are in love. Over the years, there has been no concubine around. They raise their eyebrows and have a deep love for each other. Princess Huyang is also a female hero. They are a perfect match and a natural couple with Xinyang Hou."

"Ah, they also have a daughter, who is honored as the head of Qixia County by the emperor. She is loved by thousands. She is the daughter of heaven... Long er."

Xie Ji murmured, "what is that mother, and what are our brothers and sisters?"

"When I met him today, he didn't recognize me and passed me, but I recognized him! Turn into ashes, and I know him! "

It was the father who carried him on his shoulder and played with him. It was the family he often dreamed of in the middle of the night. He hated him and loved him. He thought that maybe he died on the battlefield soon after he joined the army, and that maybe he just got lost and would go home one day. Now everything has come to naught. His father didn't die or get lost.

He just didn't go home.

Xie Ji's eyes were red, but there were no tears. As early as his mother died, he was driven away from the city gate carrying his sister with a high fever. When he trudged hard in the snow, he vowed not to cry again.

When Linglong saw that he was going to cry, she grabbed his fingers and made a little effort: "brother..."

She had no impression of Xie Fengwang. After all, when Xie Fengwang left, his mother was just pregnant, but Xie Ji was not. His childhood from birth to the age of five was the happiest time in his life. He was a gentle mother and a strong father. He was their baby and the crystallization of their love. They had looked forward to the exquisite birth together, but after the age of five, This happiness came to an abrupt end. He and his mother took their newborn sister to hide, but no matter where they fled, they had both hands creating disasters for them, so that they could not live, but they could not die.

At first, my mother was reluctant to leave home, because it was a place full of family memories. She also wanted to wait for her husband to come back, but gossip almost killed her. Someone always climbed up the wall of their house and wanted to touch this beautiful woman. When the neighbors knew, they would not speak for my mother, They seem to have forgotten how kind and considerate their mother is these years. They just say that if she is not rude, why do those people always come to the door?

It is even rumored that as long as twenty Wen, you can sleep with your mother for one night.

More and more people came to harass her, and her mother's Embroidery could not be sold. They said it was embroidered by prostitutes. It was disgusting. People often threw feces and water at the door of the house, and they were pointed out and abused as soon as they went out... In order to protect them, her mother had to secretly take them away in the dark, but when she went to a new place, she didn't get a new start.

No matter where they fled, the rumors were like bone gangrene.

So they fled and fled. Soon after living in one place, they had to change places. Their young sister cried loudly. Her mother didn't even have milk, but she never cried in front of their brothers and sisters. She was always strong. She told him that Dad would come back one day, but Xie Ji, who was sleeping with her sister in the dead of night, heard her mother's repressed cry. At that time, he was still young, But I feel the sadness contained in it.

The person who has been waiting for... The person whose mother is waiting for when she is dying... He changed his name and became famous. His wife and daughter have everything, but her mother has become a jar of ashes!

Xie Ji suddenly holds her sister in her arms. Linglong feels that his bones are in pain. She gently raises her hand and covers Xie Ji's back. Xie Ji holds her tightly.

We can't lose any more... We must protect our sister, we must! Be sure to protect it!

He promised his mother to find the man. Now that he found it, one day... One day, he will ask the man to kneel in front of his mother's grave to apologize!

Linglong felt that a warm liquid soaked her skirt. She hugged Xie Ji and rubbed his face. Her brother exuded a sad smell and smelled so bitter, "it doesn't matter. He doesn't want us, and we don't want him."

Xie Ji's body trembled violently. His heart was intertwined with love and hate. Finally, he murmured, "yes, he doesn't want us, and we don't want him..."

Their mother's ashes were always taken with them and were not buried. Xie Ji didn't know how to tell her that the person she died had another love and didn't want them.

Guan Zhuo didn't see the brother and sister who came out of the study until the afternoon. Her sister didn't change much, but brother Ji's eyelids were swollen... God, was brother Ji so excited that he won the first prize? It turns out that brother Ji, who has always failed to change his color before Mount Tai, is so fragile in his heart that he needs love?! What a surprise!

So Guan Zhuo thought he was considerate and said, "brother Ji, don't get excited. It's a certainty that you can win the first prize. Look at you crying so excited. My sister comforted brother Ji for his hard work. In this way, I ordered a banquet in Chunfeng building to celebrate. Let's go one in the evening?"

Xie Ji:

Linglong:

However, thanks to this silly joke, Xie Ji's mood calmed down a lot. Linglong gave him a hot compress again. At night, his eyes almost subsided, leaving only a faint red, which made him look more handsome and admired by Guan Zhuo. How much do you think the old God likes his brother Ji, not only for talent, but also for beauty, How can a man be so beautiful?

Take a look at his brother Ji and his exquisite sister. Guan Zhuo feels that he can eat at least five bowls of rice with the prosperity of the brother and sister tonight!

Chunfeng restaurant is the most famous restaurant in the capital. A table of table noodles is not cheap. Guan Zhuo has a lot of money. Of course, Linglong won't miss the opportunity to eat a big family. She wanted to coax Xie Ji to be happy, so she personally sent her own gift - she doesn't have anything to do at home. She often makes some gadgets. Anyway, she will do this and that, Xie Ji held the jade pendant carved by her sister and smiled on her face. She wanted to put it away and was caught by Linglong.

"Every time I give something to my brother, my brother hides it and doesn't wear the jade pendant. Don't you think my carving is not good-looking?"

She really took Xie Ji. She gave him pecans a long time ago. He has kept them until now. There is a treasure chest in Xie Ji's house. It is usually locked like a pearl and protected. Outsiders are not allowed to touch it. In fact, there is no money in it. It is all exquisite gifts, such as grass grasshoppers, paper butterflies, building blocks... All put in the box by him.

Xie Ji, staring at her sister's death, had to tie the jade pendant to her waist. This jade is not cheap. Xie Ji doesn't understand these luxuries. Guan Zhuo's family is only rich. In fact, this jade is something in the exquisite Guixu dragon palace. She has too many treasures. It's just right to give it to the human she likes.

It is no exaggeration to say that this jade pendant has the value of a country.

Moreover, with this jade pendant, it can be invincible and even protect Xie Ji. In the future, Xie Ji has a difficult way to go. Linglong can't be with him for 12 hours. With this jade pendant, he can naturally protect him.

Guan Zhuo was dying of envy. Linglong also gave him a gift.

Looking at the zongzi sugar in his hand, Guan Zhuo fell into meditation.

The contrast is too obvious! Sister is eccentric! This zongzi sugar he knows! He bought it!

Xie Ji touched the jade pendant around his waist and couldn't put it down. He glanced at Guan Zhuo by the way: "you're not satisfied with the zongzi sugar given to you by Long'er?"

That posture is like Guan Zhuo. If he dares to nod, he can screw his head off!

Guan Zhuo sucked his nose and said, "satisfied, especially satisfied. I dare not be satisfied."
