   Chapter 336 Beijing New Year's Eve

   Zhuo Bufan's youngest daughter, Zhuo Qianxue, opened her big bright eyes and asked in a milky voice, "Mother, where are father and big brother going?"

  Lin came back to his senses and murmured, "Go do your homework, just like your brother."

   "Oh!" the little girl muttered, looking really cute.

  Zhuo Qianyu remembered his daughter at home, hugged his little cousin and coaxed him into the house, "Sister will play with you, let's ignore them."

   Zhuo Qianzhao, who was behind Zhuo Qianyu, said thoughtfully, "The relationship between my sister-in-law and my uncle is really good."

   Zhuo Qianyu paused, turned his head, and answered in a rare and serious manner: "No! When I went to join my uncle, my husband was already studying with my uncle. He was brought out by my uncle, and his feelings were naturally different."

   "So it is!" Zhuo Qianzhao smiled, and the other people also had the same expression on their faces.

  Lin knew this, and looked at Wen Yuanliang with more loving eyes.

Wen Yuanliang was very strange, he just stayed with Zhuo Bufan in the study for a while, how did he get so much love from his elders when he came out, especially his wife Lin, it was such a passion that he kept giving it to him at the New Year's Eve dinner Picking up vegetables, even my own son is not treated this way.

   Zhuo Qianren couldn't help protesting at the end, "Mother, your own son is also here!"

   Lin shi grabbed a chicken leg for him, hehe smiled and said, "Mother didn't forget it!"

Seeing chicken thighs, Zhuo Qianren's brows were almost tied. When he was at home, he hated eating meat the most. When he came here in front of everyone, he didn't have a good temper. When his eyes rolled, he had a plan. .

Wen Yuanliang was struggling with the same food as the hill in front of him. When he raised his head, he found that there was a big chicken leg in the bowl. He felt powerless. Which "kind-hearted person" gave it to him, but he found that the thief was guilty of Zhuo Qianren, so he took it seriously, and gave him a dry roasted goose leg, "Children are growing up, so they can't be without them. These meats, taste them, I brought them here from Dizhou, and they are not bad."

Zhuo Qianren's face flashed a hint of panic. A chicken leg was replaced by a goose leg that was two or three times larger. He glared at Wen Yuanliang, took a big bite as if venting, raised his eyebrows, and seemed to taste pretty good.

After taking one bite after another, he destroyed a roasted goose leg in a short while, even Lin Shi felt incredulous, and joked: "No matter how you coax you at home, you won't eat meat, or your cousin-in-law has a face, come, come, What else do you want to eat and let your cousin-in-law give you some food."

   Zhuo Qianren was so frightened that he shook his head, his face almost squeezed into a bun, "Mother, you forgive me, I can't eat it!"

   Everyone laughed when they watched the play.

  After the New Year's Eve dinner, Wen Yuanliang went back to read again. Fireworks and firecrackers were being set off on Shili Long Street in the capital today, and they could see the prosperity there from standing in the courtyard.

   Zhuo Mingxuan touched Zhuo Bufan with a deep gaze, and said with a long exclamation: "The spring season is coming, has the emperor selected the examiner this time?"

Zhuo Bufan paused and sneered: "I just came back and explained the situation in Mobei, the emperor could not see that I was idle, I was originally on the list, but those people said that I was the dean of Wenshan Academy in Dizhou. For a few years, there have been many disciples all over the place, and they are not allowed to take the post, which is understandable, but there is a Zhou Weifan in Qiuwei, and those people have not given up.

There was a flash of coldness in Zhuo Mingxuan's eyes, and his voice became a little more awe-inspiring, "If he is asked to take the exam, I'm afraid that less students from Dizhou will pass, he is obviously going to use this spring to select himself. People up."

Zhuo Bufan calmly poured himself another cup, "How can those old guys not know about things you already know, let alone those old guys, even the dizzy one noticed it, but he's thick-skinned, Zhou Weifan, who has been begging for guilt all the time, said that Qiu Wei's failure to check for a while almost caused a catastrophe. This time, he will make up for his faults and cry bitterly, pretending to be real, and has the support of Lu Ge.

The emperor was already shaken. At this time, Feng Gelao and Xu Gelao came forward with the chancellor Prince Li and said that they were willing to provoke Chunwei's great responsibility. They also said that the imperial examination was a major event for the country and should not be taken lightly. When people go to the south of the Yangtze River for disaster relief, that is the real worry for you.

Chen Kun's old man was so angry that he blew his beard and stared, and the two sides quarreled with each other. In the end, the emperor impatiently drove them away. Now I don't know what the emperor means. Let's just wait, but choose Chen Kun. It's unlikely that Feng Gelao and Xu Gelao said it very badly. If the emperor really appoints Chen Kun, I'm afraid he won't be able to raise his head in front of Prince Li. "

   Zhuo Mingxuan looked sideways, and felt that this chance encounter with the Prince was too clever.

Zhuo Bufan grinned, feeling quite tacit, put down his glass, and sighed comfortably: "It's unlikely that the elders will preside over such a commotion, now only Du Shoufu and Dai Yuyang are left. Old, Du Shoufu is in charge of all kinds of things, it is absolutely impossible to serve as the chief examiner, so there is only one Dai Yuyang left, this person is a neutral faction, and it is most beneficial to us to have him serve as the chief examiner."

   Zhuo Mingxuan followed with a smile, his whole body relaxed, and he drank several cups.

At this time, in the Fengxian Hall of the Harem, the imperial concubine was lying on the brocade couch, Ye Ma was rubbing her temples, the palace maid who was holding the lamp was standing on one side, and the hall was so quiet that only the sound of candles burning and beeping could be heard. .

   The beautiful woman who had been closing her eyes suddenly opened her eyes and shot a good amount of light, and sat up suddenly, "It's all useless waste, what a big thing you want to do like this!"

   Xiao Gu just stepped into the hall. Hearing the words, his eyes drooped, and he quickly went in to salute Ling Guifei as if nothing was happening, "Mother concubine."

  The imperial concubine looked over, angered, and smiled lovingly, "My son is here, why? Was the palace banquet in front of you boring?"

  Xiao Gu sat on the side with a blank face, "It's like this every year, why don't you come and see the mother-in-law and talk, but the mother-in-law, you were always by the father's side in previous years, why can't you get sick this year?"

Speaking of this matter, Concubine Guifei's face sank a bit, and she complained angrily: "It's not your grandfather, it's more than enough to fail, pigs are smarter than them, and they can't handle even a small thing, I thought I was pretending. When your illness shows weakness, your father will be soft-hearted. For my sake, you will follow your grandfather's will. As a result, men are really ruthless. In the past, as long as I wanted to cry, he would not give me all of my heart. Now I am sick and he can still enjoy the fireworks scene with the old **** on the ground and hugging the concubines in front of him."
