The emperor's heart alone

Chapter 98

The people in Xu's residence knew that Xu Yunjin went to Zhenjue Temple today, and they asked about it when they were having dinner in the evening. Xu Yunjin frowned, and ordered all the servants present to retreat. Shao Peilan was inconvenient because her stomach gradually became pregnant After moving, he stayed in his own yard to eat, Xu Zhi and Xu Yue also stayed there, Xu Tao was still proctoring the exam, so there were only Xu Yunjin, Xu Yunting, Xu Jiashi and Xu Yunqin at the dinner table.

Seeing Xu Yunjin's serious face, Xu Jia hurriedly said: "Could it be that something happened to the abbot? It's all my fault. I've been too busy these days, so I didn't go to see it." As he spoke, there was still anxiety on his face.

Xu Yunjin comforted: "Mother, it's nothing like that, the abbot has nothing to do, just, just..." Xu Yunjin coughed lightly twice, with a troubled face, "Zhenjue Temple has disappeared."

Everyone else at the table looked blank, Xu Yunting said: "Disappeared? What do you mean? Could it be that Zhenjue Temple moved to another place without us knowing? Or was it bullied and demolished by someone else? "It's not that the kind of thing mentioned later has never happened, especially for a small temple like Zhenjue Temple with no one behind it. Although it has the care of the Xu family, not many people know about it.

Xu Yunjin shook his head: "It's not." Then he told the people present what happened in Zhenjue Temple and what happened in the surrounding villages, only hiding the existence of Shi Junji and others. After falling, Xu Jiashi and the others were all surprised and unbelievable.

It was Xu Jia who came back to his senses first: "This Zhenjue Temple must have been sent by the Buddha in the sky to save you, Yunjin! Talk about Zhenjue Temple? Why did you wait until you grew up so big, and then disappeared after telling you, 'There will be no serious problems in the future'? It is really blessed by the Buddha."

Xu Yunjin looked at Xu Jiashi helplessly. If Xu Jiashi thought so and he didn't object, it would be very strange to think about it, but Xu Yunjin remembered another thing: "Mother, back then Who told you and my father about the supernatural powers of the abbot of Zhenjue Temple?"

Mentioning this matter, Xu Jiashi was taken aback for a moment, and then said: "Thinking about it now, this matter is also strange. At the beginning, your father and I asked people to find ways to save you. Who would have tried every method? No, just when we were in despair, there was a knock on the door of our Xu Mansion. It was an old man dressed in rags. The old man only said, "Your man's illness can be cured at Zhenjue Temple, a hundred miles away from the capital." ' Then I left, and I couldn't stop it, and then your father and I went with the mentality of trying, how did we know that you were really cured!" Xu Jiashi slapped his thigh, grinning from ear to ear , "Oh, I know. The Buddha sent someone to tell us. Otherwise, how could the whole family not stop an old man? This is really a blessing."

Hearing what happened, Xu Yunjin pretended he didn't hear anything about Xu Jia's subsequent incidents similar to the Buddha's good fortune, and the expression on his face was not relaxed: "There are not many people in the capital who don't know that I, Xu Ershao, was weak since childhood. It is because I knew that I was rescued by an expert when I was a child, so I can live until now. However, there are not many people who really know the existence of Zhenjue Temple. Even in the Xu Mansion, the servants who know the existence of Zhenjue Temple are responsible for sending incense money every year. I can count them on one hand, I didn’t feel anything at first, but now I feel fortunate that not many people know about it.” He said suddenly, “The matter of Zhenjue Temple must never be mentioned to others in the future. When asked how my illness was cured, he said that in the past a hundred miles away from the capital, it was fine that he had been healed by a god who came back to hermit, but from today onwards, Zhenjue Temple must never mention it."

Xu Yunting nodded in agreement: "The servants have to say it too, and we can't let them spread the word. No matter how people outside ask, the name of Zhenjue Temple can't be mentioned again."

After the excitement just now, Xu Jia's mind is clear now, and he understood Xu Yunting's meaning in a few moments, and he broke out in a cold sweat at the moment. It's good that they know the blessing of this day, if it is true It's not a good thing to spread it out.Even today's saints have never encountered such a thing of seeing a god and Buddha, so why are they rushing to find it?

So far, everyone present has unified their caliber. From now on, they have never heard of Xu Yunjin being healed by someone. Xu Jiashi and others don't know, but Xu Yunting vaguely knows that Shi Junji is also in it. A lot of force.Many years later, even if someone mentions this matter again, the truth has been submerged in the torrent of history, even the descendants of the Xu family, no one knows what the truth is.

On the day when the examination ended, the Chu family's verdict came down.The men of the Chu family were beheaded, the women and servants were sold, and all the offspring were exiled. It can be said that the face of the deceased queen was not taken into account at all, and the Chu Renqing family was not implicated. Until now, many people have realized that Well, it turned out that there were several reasons for Chu Renqing's break with the Chu family before, but I don't know where Chu Renqing got the news at that time, and why the emperor let Chu Renqing's family go.

And on the day when Xu Tao was taken back to the Xu Mansion in a daze after reviewing the examination papers, Liu Sanshao left the capital with a large amount of goods and embarked on the road south.

Xu Yunjin took time to visit Yu Zhaoming again, only to find that Yu Zhaoming had moved out of the Su Mansion, and he was determined not to go to the Su Mansion again, saying that these days have been very disturbing, and now that the test has been passed, he definitely can't live in someone else's house.Xu Yunjin didn't force it, knowing that Yu Zhaoming rented a house with a better environment, Xu Yunjin felt more at ease.

Immediately afterwards was the release of the examination results at the end of February. Some people were happy and some were worried. In this imperial examination, there were a total of 110 Jinshi candidates. According to the regulations of the Daping Dynasty, the Jinshi candidates were divided into the top three.There are only three people in the first class, namely the champion, the second place and Tan Hua, the second class is from the fourth to No.60, which are called Jinshi, and the third class is from No.60 to the last person, called the same. Scholars.

The status of the same Jinshi is very embarrassing. The "tong" here does not mean "the same as the Jinshi", but it is just for the court to appease the emotions of these people.And once you win the top three, you can no longer take the imperial examination again, that is to say, you will be a Jinshi for the rest of your life.Of course, this is not to say that Jinshi can't be an extremely human minister, but the probability is very small.

Xu Yunjin soon got the news from Yu Zhaoming that he won No.4 and No.1 in the second class. Xu Yunjin was very happy. Although it was a pity that he did not enter the first class, No.4 was really a good result. Besides, there was What about the next palace test, who knows what the result will be in the end?

At the same time, Xu Yunjin also received news from Xiang Yi that he had also won the prize. He had been awarded the same Jinshi. He was No. 1 in the top three. What about the No.1 fellow Jinshi?As for the news that Xiang Yi was out of breath and studying hard in an attempt to get into the top two in the imperial examination, Xu Yunjin didn't pay too much attention to it, after all, wasn't there someone above?Xiang Yi couldn't get Shi Jun to like him very much, and he knew that no matter how outstanding his literary talent was, Shi Jun would not be able to let him do what he wanted.

Unlike Xiang Yi who was studying hard, Yu Zhaoming changed his hard work before the exam. These days have been leisurely and busy, and he also read books, but it is far worse than before. Xu Yunjin asked, Yu Zhaoming only said that the palace exam is not as good as the exam Try, hard work during this time really can't change anything.Xu Yunjin also agrees with this point, but appreciates Yu Zhaoming's personality even more.

Therefore, Yu Zhaoming, who often has free time, fell in love with going out in the countryside. Now it is mid-March, and the mountains in the suburbs have sporadic greenery. Although the wind is still cool, the sun shining on the top of the head is quite a kind Enjoy, Yu Zhaoming is not from the capital city, there are not many real acquaintances, and his classmates are just acquaintances, it is not enough to talk about closeness, but Yu Zhaoming has always been easy-going and close to others, but it does not show this point, but Xu Yunjin is a man with a heart I know it well.As a person who has helped him a lot in the past few months, Yu Zhaoming is really grateful, and he also thinks that Xu Yunjin is a good friend, and he is getting closer to Xu Yunjin.

No, it was a good weather when I got up early in the morning, so Yu Zhaoming packed his things and went to Xu's mansion to find Xu Yunjin, wanting to invite Xu Yunjin to go outing in the countryside together.

Yu Zhaoming knew that Xu Yunjin got up late in the morning, so he arrived late. At this time, the sun was already high. Yu Zhaoming visited Xu Yunjin according to the rules, and was led outside Xu Yunjin's yard by his servants, where he saw Qingpei and Xu Yunjin. The other person was standing outside, Yu Zhaoming recognized Qingpei, and although the other person didn't recognize it, he looked familiar, but he didn't know when he saw it, and he couldn't remember it now.

Qingpei saw that Yu Zhaoming who was walking this way did not move, but another person frowned and said something to Qingpei in a low voice, Qingpei nodded, and then Yu Zhaoming saw that person Into the yard.When he was getting closer, Yu Zhaoming heard Qingpei say: "Young Master Yu, please wait a moment, Er Shao will come out in a while."

Yu Zhaoming complied, but doubts arose in his heart. Normally, even if Xu Yunjin was inconvenient to see him, Qingpei would not let him just wait outside, and had to lead him into the front hall to wait.

Yu Zhaoming didn't wait for a long time before he saw Xu Yunjin come out, still wearing the clothes he had slept on, only a piece of clothing over the outside, it seemed that he had just woken up, Yu Zhaoming looked at the sky, then at Xu Yunjin , suppressing the helplessness in his heart, he only said to Xu Yunjin who was walking in front of him: "It seems that I disturbed your rest, Second Young Master, it is really a sin."

Xu Yunjin yawned. He played chess with Shi Junji last night and went to bed late. He didn't even know that Shi Junji came back from morning. It was Xu Sa who went in and woke him up to see Yu Zhaoming's hand. Xu Yunjin had an idea of ​​what he was holding. A few days ago, Yu Zhaoming told him that he was going to go outing in the suburbs of the capital. Looking at the sky and Yu Zhaoming's attire, isn't he planning to go today?

"It's okay, you can come and sit first, and I'll wash up." Xu Yunjin and Yu Zhaoming entered the yard, ordered Qingpei to prepare some more things, and said to Zhaoming with a smile, "Do you mind if I take someone there?"

Yu Zhaoming was taken aback, and hurriedly said, "Of course I don't mind."
