036 Duke Yunyang
The day of imperial college examination soon came. On that day, the old lady, Shen Xinzhi and Qin sent the Shen sisters to the door.
There were three carriages outside the door. The first one was richly decorated. The body was made of exquisite black nanmu and wrapped in expensive and exquisite silk. A snow-white bead curtain hangs on the door, and the golden and jade inlaid window is covered by a sky cyan soft smoke, which is particularly exquisite and luxurious.
The latter two carriages were made of green cloth felt with simple decoration, which was far less dazzling than the first carriage.
Shen Muyun was personally protected by Shen Xinzhi. In Qin's earnest eyes, she stepped into the first carriage with her head held high. The moment before she got on the carriage, she still couldn't help turning back and smiling at Shen Qingru.
At this time, she doesn't need to be humble. What the hell is the eldest daughter of prime minister's house? At a time closely related to family glory, Emperor Lao Tzu has to give way to Shen Muyun!
Shen Qingru may be a little smart, but this kind of smart is not worth mentioning in front of her Shen Muyun. Both father and grandmother knew that only Shen Muyun, who was intelligent and talented since childhood, could bring great glory to the family, rather than Shen Qingru, who grew up in the countryside and didn't know a few big words.
Shen Muyun looked at Shen Qingru with a sneer. Her tall and slender body was like a proud white swan.
Shen Qingru also smiled and looked at Shen Muyun, who looked like a fairy in the sun. Today, the Qin family specially asked Shen Muyun to change into a new huanbi wide embroidered immortal dress. Her hair was also combed into a new looking immortal bun in the palace. She was thinly powdered and swept over Emei. Shen Muyun exuded unparalleled charm all over her body, really like a fairy princess.
However, Shen Qingru felt that Qin seemed to have mistaken the point.
They went to take the imperial college entrance examination, not to choose concubines. The Qin family dressed Shen Muyun so brightly. Did they not want to be directly liked by the prince and snatch people from the Imperial College to the palace?
Shen Huiyu gently pulled Shen Qingru's skirt and whispered, "big sister, the second sister dressed up like a peacock, but didn't we go to the exam?"
Shen Qingru smiled but said nothing. She picked up little Laurie and got on the second carriage. Shen Mingxian and Shen Huajing also got on the third carriage smoothly.
The carriage drove slowly towards the Forbidden City. Shen Qingru held Shen Huiyu in her arms, teased her for a while and told the story in the journey to the west, which made little Laurie giggle.
"Big sister, you don't seem nervous at all." Shen Huiyu smiled for a long time, nestled in Shen Qingru's arms, and looked at her with watery eyes.
"With your famous second sister, at least the prime minister's house will not be destroyed. What are we nervous about studying with the prince?" Shen Qingru joked with his fifth sister with a smile.
"However, I hope my elder sister can pass the exam... And I'm afraid..." Shen Huiyu twisted her fingers uneasily. The eldest sister is the best person to her in the whole house except her aunt. She sincerely hopes that the eldest sister can pass the imperial college entrance examination and win glory for the family. But if the eldest sister passes the exam, I'm afraid I'll be more lonely in the house in the future.
After all, little Lori is young, and her inner thoughts are written on her face. Shen Qingru chuckled: "five younger sisters, even if the older sister wins the exam, she also has a holiday. She can often go back to see you."
"Besides..." Shen Qingru paused: "I hope my five sisters can pass the exam together."
"The imperial college examination, talent and learning is only one aspect. Maybe they pay more attention to morality, maybe some great scholars pay more attention to eye fate... The fifth sister doesn't have to belittle herself."
Shen Huiyu nodded seriously. Her eldest sister won't cheat her. She also hopes to be admitted to the Imperial College. Shen Huiyu clenched her fist. She must follow the footsteps of the big sister and not lose to the annoying second sister.
"Help..." a woman's exclamation came from the front, and Shen Qingru's carriage suddenly stopped.
The coachman's voice came into his ear: "the two ladies have a rest and wait until I come forward to have a look."
Shen Qingru answered, gently opened the window curtain and looked out. On the original broad capital street, dozens of people like servants were surrounding a beautiful girl and blocking the road. The young girl was overwhelmed and gradually lost her support.
"Little lady, don't hide any more, just follow me." a fat, well-dressed young man shook his folding fan and smiled obscene and obscene.
In the twinkling of an eye, the girl has been captured by one of the servants. The girl closes her eyes in despair, and tears wet her trembling eyelashes.
"Stop!" Shen Qingru shouted angrily. In broad daylight, these people want to rob good women. Has the public security in the capital been so bad?
"Yo Ho," the fat man scolded in his ear. He turned and saw the three carriages in front of and behind. There were faint fragrance in the carriage, and an obscene smile piled up on his fat face: "today is really a lucky day. Here are some more little ladies."
"I advise you to mind your own business and get out of here quickly, or I'll take you all together." the fat man shouted.
Shen Qingru didn't flinch and glared angrily. Shen Muyun on the first carriage could not help it. Today's imperial college examination was very important to her. She couldn't be late. She said impatiently, "Shen Qingru, why don't you mind your own business and go quickly."
Shen Qingru has prepared for the Imperial College Examination for a long time. Naturally, she doesn't want to be late. However, people all over the street are indifferent to the evil young man's crime and let the young girl be humiliated. If she doesn't care, the young girl will be trampled by the evil young man today.
The girl looked at her with tears in her eyes. She couldn't sit and ignore it.
"The second sister, you take the fifth sister first." Shen Qingru ordered the coachman to put Shen Huiyu on Shen Muyun's carriage. The coachman firmly said, "young lady, the servant is with you."
Shen Qingru nodded and clenched the dagger in her hand. It was she who wanted to defend herself from Aster. She planned to let the coachman gallop past and save the girl to the car. If the plan failed, she could only use the dagger to frighten the group of people.
The carriage came quickly, and the evil young man was furious and said, "hit the broken carriage for me."
The crowd was ordered to rush forward. Shen Qingru clenched her teeth and clenched the dagger in her hand. Once someone rushed up, she stabbed her neck.
A long snow shining sword came from the rear. Shen Qingru's hair was wiped between the electric light and flint and firmly nailed to the wall.
Shen Qingru looked intently. The cold long sword had been dyed bright red, and one ear was hanging on the tip of the sword.
The evil young man covered his ears and fell to the ground with a terrible howl. Bright red blood was seeping from his fingers. His right ear had been cut off by a sword like a flying fairy outside this day.
The sword came from an airtight mysterious carriage surrounded by a curtain behind her.
The evil young servants gathered around the master, and one of them boldly rushed out of the mysterious carriage: "bold thief, do you know the identity of our young master, who is the son of Lord Jing Zhaoyin and Zhang Xu..."
A cold light flashed, and there was a cry of surprise around. The brave people were still talking one moment ago, and the next moment they were already in a different place.
"It was Zhang Xu's son..." a low but magnetic voice sounded.
"Hum, if you dare to be rude in front of the Marquis, even Zhang Xu can't spare him!" the guard in the mysterious carriage cut the noisy Zhang Ding in two.
The evil young man was already frightened out of his wits under this tragic soberness, and said tremblingly: "you... Who are you?"
"The name of my master is taboo. Can a mean person like you know it?"
"No harm." the man in the car lazily stretched out a hand and lifted the white jade curtain: "Huo Qijun, if you want revenge, just come to me."
Through the white jade curtain, it is vaguely visible that the man lies on the couch on his side. The man has a slender body, and his black hair like jade is scattered on the couch at will, which is indescribable.
But he wore a strange mask that was not gold or jade on his face, which blocked his whole face. He really couldn't see his face clearly.
When Shen Qingru heard Huo Qijun's three words, his head buzzed. Unexpectedly, he met him here?
Huo Qijun, the famous Marquis of Yunyang.
To sum up, this was the first time she had seen the legendary Yunyang Hou Huo Qijun since her two lifetimes. Although Huo Qijun became famous when he was young, Shen Qingru of the previous life had never been out of the capital. Huo Qijun occupied the North all the year round and naturally had no chance to see him.
Huo Qijun, a young and famous general, a frontier official guarding one side and a famous general among the famous generals, can be called a generation of God of war.
It is said that when he was 16 years old, he led the Huo family army into the enemy camp for thousands of miles and scattered the Hun army. In the two border wars, Huo Qijun defeated the enemy, captured hundreds of Hun nobles, took Qilian Mountain directly and returned home with great victory.
In short, since the first day when Young Marshal Huo led the troops to fight, he has not failed. The old border enemies of the Huns and Tubo have been defeated again and again. Since then, they have no chance of victory.
Huo Qijun can be called a legend of the imperial generation, but his life experience can also be called a legend.
He was born in the Huo family, one of the best families in the Empire. His grandfather was Huo Cheng, the founder of the country and the elder of three generations. His father was the youngest tanhualang in the history of the Empire. Although he died early, he left a reputation as the best in Beijing. Aunt Huo is the first queen of today's emperor. Huo Qijun was born in such a famous family, but his life experience has been criticized.
Although he was the only son of the Huo family, he was born by his father huoting and female slaves. Later, because the Huo family had few children, he was brought back to the Huo family by Huocheng. The famous and victorious general was born out of wedlock.
The Lord Huo was even more criticized for his fate. Since he entered the Huo house, his father Huo ting and his aunt Huo queen died of illness successively. At the age of 15, the only relative, the old lord Huo Cheng, also died. Huo Qijun lost all his close relatives at a young age.
Even later, the Xiongnu Tubo and others feared him like a tiger and gave him the title of "killing God". Then someone with a heart whispered behind him, "isn't it natural to kill all their relatives?"
