"Stop talking!" Che Mingde warned, but he also dropped his gaze.
At this moment, he felt really angry when he said it. Although he and Liang Baiyun did not have a formal engagement, the attitude between Liang Taiwei and Liang Qing'an and his father was very clear. Even when he faced Liang Baiyun in the past two days, he felt that she Although she was a woman with his father's acquiescence, she met his requirements. Even if there were some signs before, he felt that the other party probably wanted to test him. After all, Taiwei Liang had boasted about his granddaughter in his ears before, and now it was even more because Lieutenant Liang was promoted to a high position, and his status was very different. It was normal to be a little arrogant, but when he was like this with other men in front of him, Che Mingde was really a little annoyed.
Over the years, Che Mingde has been practicing the exercises given by his teacher, and he feels that he doesn't look like a child at all, especially since some teachers write to him every year, either giving some advice or giving some advice. As time goes by, This made him look at everything very calmly, as if it was difficult to make waves in his heart. Only when the boy's love affair first started, he happened to meet Wanxia, an obedient, sensible and beautiful girl, and he was moved by it. But now he is really annoyed. Yes, it's just that I have been used to being calm over the years. Even at this time, I seem to be indifferent.
Liang Baiyun has actually been observing Cha Mingde. Cha Mingde didn't know it. At this moment, Liang Baiyun felt an indescribable surprise in his heart. After all, to a certain extent, he was the other party's unmarried wife, but when Cha Mingde saw that Liang Baiyun was also a little confused when he saw that he and Zhou Xiaoyi were so close and there was nothing strange at all, as if they were really just the children of his grandfather's favorite protégé who came to join the Liang family.
"Baiyun, what are you looking at?" Liang Baiyun's strangeness quickly fell into Zhou Xiaoyi's eyes, and he quickly followed Liang Baiyun's gaze.
"Oh, I am able to come out today because the son of one of my grandfather's favorite students went to Beijing to take the exam. I brought him out to see the world. Let me introduce him to you." Liang Baiyun quickly came to his senses and took the initiative to bring Zhou Xiaoyi to the court. Mingde left in the car.
Walking up to Che Mingde, Liang Baiyun introduced him as if he were introducing a friend: "Master Mingde, let me introduce you to him. This is Zhou Xiaoyi, the son of Zhou Menlang, the servant in front of the palace. Mr. Zhou, this is the Deputy Envoy of Northwest Economic Strategy. , Mr. Che’s son, Huangzhou Che Mingde, who passed the state examination at the age of sixteen."
"Oh! So you are Huangzhou Che Mingde. I have also read your state examination piece "Ode to the North Country". You have such talent at such a young age. It is indeed good. Except that the diction is a little plain, it is also considered a masterpiece. It is reasonable and reasonable to pass the state examination." Zhou Xiaoyi didn't know whether it was intentional or not, but he commented condescendingly.
The Menxialang was originally a city gate official, and the Menxialang in front of the palace guarded the gate for His Majesty. However, since Taizu founded the country, this Menxialang has always been held by His Majesty's confidants. Although the rank is not particularly high, it is not low either. Today's status He is second only to Jiuqing, and his authority extends to the guards of the entire imperial city. It can be said that he is an absolute close minister of the emperor. It is no wonder that he is positioned so high and has such a arrogant attitude.
However, with the buffer just now, Che Mingde also became calmer. Since Liang Baiyun introduced him just now, he regarded himself as a disciple and descendant of Lord Taiwei, so he said politely: "Che is young. He was able to do it last year." It was a fluke that I won the title of state prince, and it was also an attempt to participate in the palace examination this time. I never thought that a hasty article could be remembered by Mr. Zhou, so I am honored."
Seeing such a senior as Che Mingde, Zhou Xiaoyi was a little surprised. At the same time, he couldn't help but laugh at himself, wondering if he was too nervous. That Che Guangyao was Liang Changmao's favorite student. Everyone in the capital knew that his son went to Beijing to take the exam and settled in the Taiwei Mansion. It's too normal, but it seems that I am too sensitive.
He was careful for a moment, but Liang Baiyun's heart stirred up. At this time, she looked at Cha Mingde, and it was clear that she did not regard herself as her fiancée at all, but just as the young lady of the Taiwei Mansion. He seemed to be here too. It was just to take the exam, and he had never thought about marriage at all. But it was impossible for his father not to mention it to him before, and as far as he knew, Che Jinglue also acquiesced. Did he not plan to be with him at all? If In this case, then you can just discuss it with him, why do you need to plan so much? For a moment, Liang Baiyun was confused.
"The princess has arrived!" In the midst of confusion in their hearts, with the clear voice of a maid, everyone became silent.
Che Mingde saw a tall woman with a veil walking over, accompanied by a girl in a fiery red dress.
Che Mingde recognized at a glance that the girl in the fiery red dress was the woman who danced the sword before. It seemed that she was just the maid or female guard of the princess. It was just that the princess attended the cultural gathering in her mansion and actually brought her with her The veil does make people feel strange, but seeing other people seems to be normal. It seems that it is normal for them for the princess to wear a veil when meeting people.
"Dear talents and beauties, the imperial examination is about to take place. Talents from all over the world are gathering in the capital. However, I, the princess, have been a little lonely lately. It is the right moment, so I am holding this cultural gathering to see if there are any more talented people in the world."
The princess did not take off her veil, nor did she say any special words. She briefly explained the reason for holding the cultural gathering, and then got down to the topic: "This time, according to the convention of holding cultural gatherings, we will first ask a question and everyone will answer it together. Now is the golden autumn, so we use autumn as the theme. Everyone writes two poems, and then the top three are chosen, and then the three are asked to come up with topics to show their talents."
After the princess finished speaking, some maids soon presented pens, ink, paper and inkstones, and Che Mingde was no exception.
The people who came here were all gentlemen and young ladies, and they all brought their maids and maids with them. Wanxia looked at the others helping to sort out and polish the ink, and she did the same.
A smile flashed across Che Mingde's lips, and he had already started writing while others were thinking.
As soon as Che Mingde finished writing, he heard the princess actually take the initiative to say: "That young master moves very fast. You are a bit unfamiliar. Can you introduce yourself?"
Che Mingde didn't expect that he would be noticed because of his fast writing, but since the princess asked, he stood up and said: "Huangzhou Che Mingde."
"Che Mingde? Your father is Che Jinglue, right?" Princess Kang asked after thinking for a moment.
"Exactly." Che Mingde agreed.
"Madam, Mr. Che went to Beijing to take the exam and lived in my house, so I boldly brought him here." Liang Baiyun also explained at this moment.
"Young Prince Zhou is exactly the kind of talent our Jingguo needs. It's not too late for you to bring me over, but I'll take a look at yours later." Princess Kang said with a hint of intimacy.
"I just thought about it, and I need to think about it some more." Liang Baiyun said charmingly.
"No rush." Princess Kang picked up a cup of tea with a smile. Although she was wearing a veil, her behavior was elegant, which really made people imagine how beautiful she looked behind the veil.
