Chapter 38: Goofy
Chapter 38 Chicken Fly Dog Jump
"Thank you, Third Master!" Qi Sha knelt on one knee.
Pei Yi saw that the little dark guard was happy, and she was also happy.
She reminded with a smile: "In the future, don't just kneel down."
Qi Sha just remembered that the third master had said earlier not to kneel down at will.
However, he has been learning these rules since he can remember, and almost all of them have been engraved in his bones. It is really difficult to change them in a while.
What's more, kneeling originally brings surrender and respect.
He is willing to surrender to the third master, and also respects the third master from the bottom of his heart.
Kneeling to the third master is really as common as eating and drinking to him, and he doesn't feel the urgency to change.
It is naturally impossible for Pei Yi to know all kinds of thoughts of her little dark guard.
She waved her hand and said, "Back off."
Qisha bowed his head and exited respectfully.
Pei Yi closed her eyes and rested her mind. Thinking of what happened in the past few days, she was really exhausted physically and mentally.
At first, she just took it for granted that she wanted to stay in Linhe County and establish a good relationship with Huo Yuan.
The so-called participation in the scientific examination is just a cover for staying in Linhe County.
But now that the fifth prince designed her like this, Pei Yi suddenly felt the urgency of the imperial examination to become an official.
The Pei family are all generals.
Although Father Pei Shu holds the title of prime minister, what he does is not actually a civil servant's job.
All this is because the Dazhou implemented a system of multiple prime ministers, some prime ministers were in charge of military affairs, some prime ministers were in charge of economy, and some prime ministers were in charge of politics, education, propaganda, etc.
And her father Pei Shu happened to be in charge of the military.
Her two older brothers also chose to join the army, and they are now both generals.
As a result, the Pei family is full of military generals, and there is a great shortage of civil servants.
If all generals are on the battlefield, they will be in an embarrassing situation where they cannot get news from the DPRK and China in time.
If the king becomes jealous, the military general is still on the front line, and he doesn’t know the situation in the court at all, and there are no civil servants in the court to speak for him in time, so he can only end up loyal but shrouded in horse leather in the end.
Pei Yi broke out in a cold sweat when she thought of such crucial points.
It is imminent for her to take the imperial examination and become an official.
The Pei family can't just be in charge of the military, there must also be a place for the Pei family among the civil servants-it doesn't matter whether the officials are big or small, what matters is that there are people.
Pei Yi suddenly felt that there was a long way to go.
But everything is done step by step.
If she can completely reverse Huo Yuan's dog-licking attributes, she can get a lot of points, and directly relying on the points can make her poetry and song skills reach the level of the imperial examination.
As for that Xiao Ruoyun, heh, she just played with him slowly...
The other end.
The capital, Pei's family.
The night is deep, and the candles are flickering.
Pei Shu read the whole letter under the blue light, and said with great satisfaction: "Fanyin has really grown up."
She even started to think about things for the family from the perspective of the Pei family. Although her views are still immature, at least she has a good intention.
Mrs. Pei sneered and said, "I still don't know my daughter? Where did Sanskrit grow up?"
"You can see that she is suggesting that you should choose a prince to stand in the team."
"It's probably because she has a crush on which prince, but she's too embarrassed to say so, so she's going around the corner to make you mentally prepared."
Pei Shu's originally happy mood was suddenly clouded.
He asked with mixed feelings: "In Madam's opinion, which prince is Sanskrit looking for this time?"
Mrs. Pei jokingly said: "Of course, whichever prince is the most hypocritical, she will take a fancy to that one."
This is indeed true. Among the princes, the fourth prince likes to pretend to be noble the most.
Their daughter fell in love with the fourth prince at a glance back then.
Fortunately, the fourth prince was transferred by the old emperor to work in other places, and their daughter was a playful person, so she quickly put the fourth prince aside, and turned around to find a new noble beauty.
"Could it be... Fanyin wants us to support the Fourth Prince?" Pei Shu guessed.
"Definitely not." Mrs. Pei said firmly, "Our whole family knows that Sanskrit used to be interested in the fourth prince. If she wanted us to support the fourth prince, why didn't she just say so?"
"Madam's words are justified." Pei Shu mused, "The fifth prince is always trying to provoke the relationship between Sanskrit and us. Sanskrit is obviously not interested in him. This person can be ruled out directly."
The old emperor had a total of nine adult princes.
The first prince was deposed, and the second prince was stupid. These two can be ruled out directly.
The fourth and fifth princes are also directly excluded.
Then there are still three princes, six princes, seven princes, eight princes, and nine princes left.
"Eighth and Ninth Princes can also be directly excluded." Mrs. Pei said.
"Why?" Pei Shu asked with a puzzled expression.
"Our daughter obviously likes someone who is older than her." Madam Pei said confidently, "The eighth prince is not yet eighteen years old, and the ninth prince has only just turned sixteen, so he can't be in our daughter's eyes at all."
Pei Shu thought about it, so far, the people his daughter likes seem to be noble and mature, and indeed none of them are younger than his daughter.
"Even if they are all excluded, there are still three princes, six princes, and seven princes left." Pei Shu pondered, "Which of these three is the most hypocrite?"
Their daughter's vision of seeing people is really bad, and every time she looks at the kind of hypocrite who is noble on the outside and wretched on the inside.
Mrs. Pei thought for a while: "Let's exclude the Seventh Prince. Among all the princes, he is the ugliest. Fanyin will definitely not like him."
Pei Shu thinks it makes sense, but who should he choose between the third prince and the sixth prince?
"Let's rule out the third prince." Mrs. Pei said firmly.
Pei Shu asked puzzledly, "Why?"
Mrs. Pei said: "Didn't you get the news a while ago that the third prince has been assassinated and died? How can this person who is already dead interest our daughter?"
Pei Shu corrected very rigorously: "The third prince was just assassinated and disappeared. Until the third prince's body is not found, it cannot be concluded that he is dead."
Mrs. Pei thought again and again: "We still have to exclude the third prince. This person is too low-key, and he is completely inconspicuous among the princes."
"As far as Sanskrit is looking at people, the more low-key the person, the more she can't see them."
Pei Shu shook his head in disapproval and said: "Although the third prince is low-key, he is the best-looking among all the princes."
"It's true that our daughter likes noble style, but if that person is too good-looking, no matter what kind of character he is, he will like Sanskrit."
Back then, the fourth prince composed a poem at the Qionghua Banquet, which aroused Sanskrit's heart.
But Pei Shu firmly believed that if the third prince had been there, even if the third prince couldn't compose a single poem, they would definitely like the Sanskrit music very much.
"Why are you so sure?" Mrs. Pei said unconvinced.
"Because my daughter is like me, I only like good-looking ones." Pei Shu said very firmly.
Mrs. Pei sneered: "You really like good-looking ones, as long as they are good-looking, you take them home. I don't know how many good-looking concubines there are in our backyard."
Pei Shu secretly thought he was about to suffer.
The next moment, Mrs. Pei pulled out her whip and danced towards him.
"I told you to like good-looking ones! Superficial and stupid!"
"This is human nature! Madame, Fanyin must like the third prince!"
"Sanskrit is not as superficial as you! She must be looking at the sixth prince!"
"How about we make a bet..."
"Bet on your size!"
In the deep night, the Pei Mansion compound was full of chaos again.
