"Big House Auspicious" is the standard official office building structure of the front and back houses. The courtyards of the first, second and third entrances are the government offices. From the fourth entrance, it is a large mansion. When Xuan Wei was in Guiyang, this was the place where he and his family lived.

Because this is the An official office, even if An Nantian or Zhan Ning'er, it is not convenient to move in when the head of the An family, Old Master An, did not live here, so the An family bought another mansion in Guiyang City, and the place has been vacant.

In this way, An family did not take much care or timely repair and maintain the Dayuan Ji. Therefore, the traces of artificial craftsmanship in the Houzhai Garden were very faint, with every flower, grass, tree and tree full of wild fun. Even the pavilions and pavilions scattered in it were covered with green vines.

Next to a small pavilion covered with green vines is a lake of living water, which is very clear. The water plants and reeds on the lake shore are growing in a mess. From time to time, a few fat fish will jump up on the water surface, and then smash into the water with a loud bang.

A little baby wearing open-crotch pants stared at his big black eyes and was poking the water grass by the lake with a reed pole. Suddenly, a big fish rushed up. He was so scared that he screamed strangely, turned around and ran away, throwing away the reeds.

An old man sat in the pavilion, wearing a gray robe, with white hair tied into a Taoist bun, and only a wooden hairpin was inserted. He was leaning on a shiny rattan stick in his hand. When he saw the child throwing away the reed pole and running away, he couldn't help laughing.

The child rushed into his arms, kicked and kicked like a little monkey. He first climbed onto his knees, then hugged his neck, and panted, "Grandpa, big fish, such a big fish, it's scary."

The old man laughed happily and said, "What are you afraid of if that big fish doesn't eat you?"

The child was tired of him and said, "The big fish jumped out and scared people. Is it just scary?"

The old man smiled and said, "Then you have to practice your courage well. Our sons in the family can't have cowards."

At this time, An Nantian walked slowly, saw the grandparents and grandchildren be together, and stood up with a smile, owing, "Grandpa!"

When the child turned his head and saw that it was An Nantian, he immediately twisted his butt and rubbed down from the old man's arms. As soon as his feet touched the ground, he spread his arms and rushed towards An Nantian, shouting happily: "Brother, a fish in the water just now was so big, it was scary!"

An Nantian bent down, laughed and picked him up, saying, "Little Sixteen, is that fish really big? Then you will grow up soon. When you grow up, grab the big fish that scares you with your own hands and eat it!"

"Um!"

The child nodded vigorously: "Yes! Eat the big bad fish that scares the baby and train your courage!"

An Nantian smiled and turned to the old man, saying, "Grandpa, Ning'er's cousin is back. It seems that she is not in a good mood."

The old man's snow-white longevity eyebrows frowned slightly. He said, "That girl, do you really like Ye Xiaotian?"

An Nantian sighed and said, "I'm afraid that, I can't see that boy has any advantages besides being handsome, but if he is handsome, there are fewer handsome young men among the wealthy families in Shuixi?"

The old man said lightly: "It doesn't matter if you can't see it, but you can't degrade him as worthless. Remember, people who are favored by more than one person must have their strengths. If you can't see it, it's just a matter of your vision."

An Nantian said solemnly: "Yes! Grandson is taught!"

Xiao Shiliu was impatient to listen to them and rubbed his arms, holding his hand and said, "Brother, accompany me to catch fish!"

An Nantian coaxed him and said, "Go, brother is here to watch. If any fish dares to bully you, brother will beat it hard!"

Xiao Shiliu felt relieved when he heard this, and agreed, picked up the reed stick and ran to the lake excitedly.

The old man said, "Have Ye Xiaotian gone to take the Juren?"

When he asked, An Nantian smiled laughing on his face and said, "Yes! Li Zhongyin, the teacher of Tongren Prefecture, failed to win a scholar in five years. He was scolded by Xuezheng. In desperation, he cheated and defeated him. Unexpectedly, Zhang Duo's fool really thought he had a talented and insisted on asking him to take the tribute exam, hoping that Ye Xiaotian would take another juren exam to prove that he had made contributions in educating Tongren!"

The old man narrowed his eyes slightly, stroked his beard and smiled, "Hehe, it is a custom for the Venerable to travel around the world. Now he has traveled to the officialdom. This is the first one after a thousand years, right? It's so interesting."

Annantian said: "Grandpa, I don't think he wants to be a big secret. He just doesn't like to live in the deep mountains."

The old man laughed silently and said, "Who does a young man like to live in the deep mountains? Beauty is of great temptation for young people, but once they can ask for it, he will find that it is actually just that, and the temptation of life is more than this."

An Nantian frowned and said, "If he traveled around the world and didn't meet Ning'er for a long time, over time, Ning'er's thoughts would have faded. Unexpectedly, he stayed in Guizhou to hang out. This is hard to say. Grandpa also knew that Ning'er's girl had been rude since she was a child, and she rarely changed the things she knew.

At that time, Xu Boyi, I thought Ning'er was not his person at all, but his talent and demeanor. He was actually very ignorant, but this time it was different. If Ning'er refused to give up... Ye Xiaotian would return to the mountain in twenty years, then..."

The old man raised his eyebrows and said lightly: "Rules are set by people. If you are the one who sets the rules, you don't have to follow the rules yourself! If you don't have the ability, you will naturally have to abide by the rules set by others for you!"

When the old man said this, his white eyebrows raised slightly, and a kind of arrogant aura came towards him. Only then will you realize his extraordinaryness. He just now looked just an ordinary old man who was enjoying his grandchildren.

An Nantian said in confusion: "So, for Ning'er and Ye Xiaotian... Grandpa is happy to see it happen?"

The old man laughed silently and said, "How can I have time to deal with the love between these young children? Let her worry about this kind of thing. I was wondering what impact will a venerable from the Gu God Cult, if a venerable passes the exam and then becomes an official, will it have on the situation in Guizhou."

An Nantian was shocked and said in a lost voice: "Grandpa is saying..."

The old man smiled faintly and said, "Take Sixteen to play, I have to think about this matter!"

An Nantian bowed and said, "Yes!"

An Nantian called his sixteenth brother and whispered to him, but he didn't know what he promised. The little guy happily took his hand and walked away. The old man took a fishing rod from the side of the railing, skillfully loaded the bait, gently swung it into the water, and then stared and pondered...

...

Xu Boyi walked into Tian Miaoji's study and bowed to the curtain and felt a little nervous. In fact, he had not come to pay homage to Tian Miaowen once or twice. Logically speaking, he should have known each other, but every time he came here and saw the person behind the curtain, he was still nervous.

Tian Miaowen is too clever, her eyes are too sharp, and her words are also very sharp. After being with her for a long time, Xu Boyi's tension will not only not disappear because of the familiarity, but will become a little more serious. Tian Miaowen's pleasant voice came from behind the curtain: "How did you do this exam?"

Xu Boyi quickly lowered his head and said, "This time, there are only ten questions. It seems to be relatively simple in Xu. I believe he should answer it well."

"Haha, you said it's good. That's actually good?"

"Slam" the sound of the curtain cage, and Tian Miaowen lifted the curtain cage and walked out from behind. Xu Boyi suddenly felt excited. This was the first time he had been so close to the eldest lady, and this time he could finally see Miss Tian's true face.

Xu Boyi wanted to raise his head very much, but his neck was a little stiff and he couldn't lift it up. When he saw a white skirt floating in front of him like a cloud, the pointed tips of the boots under the skirt appeared faintly, he couldn't help but take a step back. He bowed and said, "Miss!"

Tian Miaowen's aura was so powerful that Xu Boyi dreamed of seeing her true face, but at this moment Tian Miaowen was right in front of her. She could see it as soon as she looked up, but he didn't dare to look up. Tian Miaowen said lightly: "No need to be polite, raise your head."

"yes!"

Xu Boyi agreed and slowly raised his head, unable to help but feel disappointed. Tian Miaoji did walk out from behind the curtain cage, but she was still wearing a "slight reveal" on her head. The hanging black gauze covered her face, and only her white, bright and curved jaw could be seen.

However, if you look closely, the layer of gauze cannot completely cover Tian Miaowen's appearance, especially her skin is indescribably white and tender, which is more obvious under the black gauze, so you can still see the appearance clearly. It is many times clearer than looking at flowers through the fog in the curtains before.

Just by this, even though Xu Boyi, who has always been not addicted to women and is only keen on power, couldn't help but feel his heart pounding. His face, like a duck egg, has fair and moist skin, and his nose is straight and small. His eyes have a very special taste.

Everyone has facial features, but just a little different, they combine them into everything in the world. The appearance of this woman is very personal. Her appearance... makes people feel the urge to ravage her at first glance. Fortunately, she comes from the Tian family and has a noble status. Otherwise, with her charm and temperament, she would be snatched by many big people, and she would have to taste the beauty and fulfill her wish.

Xu Boyi was still rational, but after a moment of loss of consciousness, he quickly lowered his head and his heart was pounding: "I remember that when Lanling King was gentle and beautiful, it was difficult to control his majestic appearance. Therefore, he often wears a ferocious ghost face to kill the enemy. Now this Miss Tian is probably the same. How can she control her appearance? No wonder she always refuses to see people with her true face. Alas! In fact, such a woman needs some scheming and wisdom. Just by her appearance, she can be charming the whole country. Oh! I didn't act rudely just now, right?"

Tian Miaowen smiled slightly and said, "This time, in order to win another quota for the Tian family, I did not leave you a designated quota, but instead released you to compete with those scholars. But you are full of knowledge and do not need such special care.

Although Juren is qualified to be an official, unless he has a very good background, there are few people who can become an official directly, and it is even more impossible to be promoted to a high-ranking official. However, with the support of my Tian family, these are not a problem. You can do things well, and I will arrange these things for you."

Xu Boyi sniffed the faint fragrance, looked at the nose and the heart, and replied cautiously: "Yes!"

Tian Miaowen said again: "Recently, Cui Xiangsheng, a great scholar in Jiangnan, is about to come to Guiyang. He is the same as the censor Wang Haoming. You might as well visit him when you are in the process of being appreciated by Mr. Cui, it will be very beneficial to your career!"

Xu Boyi said again: "Yes!"

The two of them talked a few more times. Xu Boyi observed his face and said goodbye to her without waiting for Tian Miaowen to give up the words to see him off. When he left Tian Miaowen's study, Xu Boyi breathed a sigh of relief. Suddenly, he was no longer so confident about the rumors about Lian Xie Ji Kefu: "A woman like this is still unstoppable. If she really marry her, sleeps with her bed, and has a blind date, how can she still control her? Then, it will be difficult for a man to live a long life..."

Thinking of this, Xu Boyi couldn't help but show a lewd smile on his face.

Tian Miaowen approached Xu Boyi today, but she only told him that she had officially accepted him as her own person, but she didn't know what kind of vulgar thoughts were happening at this moment. As soon as Xu Boyi left, she walked to the wall and gently pressed the Boan shelf. A map of Guizhou fell on the wall.

Tian Miaowen looked at the map and began to consider where to arrange it after Xu Boyi passed the imperial examination. On the map, the chieftains and the forces of the court were marked with different colors of lines. Tian Miaowen looked at her for a long time and slowly landed on the north end point of the only post road running through Guizhou, Huxian!

On the 4th of this month, my father was hospitalized for cerebral infarction and took care of him. On the 12th, he went to Shanghai to participate in an event and returned on the 14th. On the 16th, an author came to Shen to participate in an event, received an accompanying him, and ended on the 19th. On the 23rd, he was going to Beijing to discuss work...

The update has always been relatively stable. I have been vaccinated many times and said that I will update less when I am too busy. In fact, in such a hurry, I only updated the first chapter on the 18th. All other days are double updates, one or three updates.

Even so, some book friends are unhappy and post criticism. I think in this case, it is not too slow. It is because readers have a sense of expectations, so they are not happy to send a leave note. But who can prevent accidents?

After thinking about it, I still need to adjust my routine. From now on, there will be two days a week to update every day, which is equivalent to a one-day break for every update. This will basically ensure stable updates and no temporary leave. In this way, Guanguan doesn’t have to eat and get a haircut and hurry up. I don’t have time to pay for wired heating. I hope everyone understands it!
Chapter completed!
