"A token of engagement, a betrothal gift?" Yu Qing's eyes widened, "You nerd has already planned a wife?"
Ashheng was noncommittal and acquiesced.
The look on Yu Qing's face gave people a feeling of envy and jealousy, and he subconsciously asked the question that young people are most concerned about, "Are you beautiful?"
Ash Heng also had some longing in his eyes, "I don't know, we were both very young when we got engaged. We said we had met each other, but we didn't have any impression. I said, what are you thinking about?"
A slight smile appeared on Yu Qing's face, "Um, is it appropriate for me to go to your fiancée's house and pretend to be you?"
Ashheng said coldly: "I asked you to pretend, do you want to take it seriously?"
"It depends on what you said." Yu Qing laughed dryly. He just asked, and he would not come back if he was beaten to death. He still had this bottom line. Then he realized another problem, "What do you mean?
, you didn’t tell your fiancée’s family about the fake identity?”
Ashheng turned his head and looked at his injured arm, with a sad look in his eyes, "Don't say it yet, lest the Zhong family think too much about it, and try to avoid causing extra problems. First, hide the truth from the Zhong family, and first use the Zhong family to help the Zhong family to take the exam.
The most important thing is to deal with the matter in the past, and put aside the love between children for now. When the opportunity is right, I will explain it to the Zhong family. If the Zhong family can accept it, then I will not force it. "
Yu Qing could understand the sadness in his eyes. If his arm could not be cured and he could no longer pursue an official career, it was hard to say whether the Zhong family would marry their daughter. Marrying a good daughter to a cripple from the countryside with no future would be a good idea.
Any parent would think twice.
What's more, it's a serious crime to help cheat on something like a proficiency test!
He quickly comforted him: "Your family has fallen into decline after all. With a broken painting, it would be great if the wealthy businessman surnamed Zhong in the capital could still recognize his old friendship and help."
Seeing his kind words, Ashiheng smiled slightly and saw the guilt in Yu Qing's heart.
He knew very well that Yu Qing had actually fulfilled his duty of protection and had solved the threat at that time. It was his insistence on saving face in front of Yu Qing that caused the accident.
But he will not tell the truth because he knows that Yu Qing is a person who is difficult to control. Only by making Yu Qing continue to feel guilty will he try his best to complete his explanation.
Thinking of his injury, he murmured almost to himself and asked, "When will my junior uncle come back?"
Yu Qing knew that he had pinned his hopes on his junior uncle, "The specific date is not certain. Normally I come back once a year. I have been away for half a year."
"Half a year..." Ashheng murmured, confused.
The impression of the junior uncle from Linglongguan is in his early years. He is a person who likes to hold a mirror and look at himself. He can play with a single hair for a long time. He always feels that he has a peerless appearance.
He is a handsome man who loves beauty, and naturally he is also a Taoist priest who loves beauty very much.
The reason why it is said to be an impression from his early years is because he has hardly seen the young master uncle in the past ten years. He said he went out to practice and practice. He came back occasionally and there was no need to go out of his way to visit him. Ashheng always visited him.
It was only after listening to people at Linglongguan talking about it that I found out that the junior uncle had come back...
Two days later, in an ordinary house near the city gate, Yu Qing stood in the main hall with his luggage on his back.
Her hair style could no longer be willful and she had it tied up obediently. The goatee that she managed to grow while pretending to be mature was completely shaved off. The white coat she was wearing belonged to Ash Heng.
It saves all the trouble.
The Taoist robe in his package was also thrown to Ashiheng. Anyway, Ashiheng would be able to use it in Linglong Temple soon.
The sword has not been withdrawn, it is still hanging on the waist. It is normal for scribes in this world to wear swords. It is an elegant thing to carry the piano and sword with them.
There were also two capable plain-clothed servants in the hall, who were also responsible for seeing him off this time.
Pu Dianli was walking back and forth in the small courtyard outside, waiting for someone. He had secretly informed Yu Qing beforehand. As expected, Ashiheng had expected. People from the Sinan Mansion had indeed intervened in the escort. They arrived yesterday, and there were only two of them.
They are the ones waiting now.
When the morning fog had almost cleared, there was a knock on the door outside the small courtyard, and Pu Dianli quickly went over to open the door.
A man and a woman in their thirties entered the hospital. The man looked dignified, and the woman looked like Xiaojiabiyu, with heroic eyes and ordinary clothes.
As soon as the two people entered the door, their eyes immediately glanced around, and they obviously didn't pay much attention to Pu Dianli.
Pu Dianli led the two people through the door and immediately pretended to introduce them: "Ashiheng, these two are also escorting officers. They will accompany you on the road later." He did not announce the names of the two people who came.
It was requested by the two of them.
In fact, Yu Qing already knew the names of the two of them in advance. The man was Xu Juening and the woman was Tang Bulan.
Yu Qing immediately imitated Ash Heng's polite manner, raised his hands and saluted, "Thank you, both of you."
Are there escorts? The two officers who were already in the hall looked at each other with confusion on their faces. They didn't know about this in advance, and the two people in front of them were obviously not from the county government. What's more, how could there be a woman among the officers? One of them immediately came to Pu
The official next to him asked in a low voice, "Putou, how come you haven't seen these two before?"
"I'm the one sent from above. I'll take care of everything. Don't ask any questions." Pu Dianli muttered in reply.
The two police officers knew what was going on and immediately stopped talking.
The two visitors from the Sinan Mansion had already set their sights on the escort. Xu Juening's eyes were fixed on Yu Qing's sword. He slowly walked up to Yu Qing and asked indifferently: "Are you Ash Heng?"
Yu Qing smiled and bowed, "It's just Xiaosheng."
Xu Juening stretched out his hand and grasped the hilt of Yu Qing's sword, slowly pulled out a section, and said coldly: "Epee?"
As soon as these words came out, Pu Dianli's heart suddenly rose to his throat, and he realized that the people in Sinan Mansion were not ordinary sharp people.
It is not uncommon for scholars to carry swords, but they are usually not really used for killing. They are usually used as accessories. Generally, the sword body is light and thin, and it should be shorter and easier to carry. Some even have no blade, and Yu Qing's sword
When he pulled it out, it was obvious that it was a weapon used for fighting and killing.
Yu Qing didn't see any panic, but asked stubbornly: "The student is not a nerd with no power to control the chicken. Could it be that he looks down on the student?"
Huh! Xu Juening returned the sword, let go and asked, "Can you ride a horse?"
Yu Qing: “I rode it before, it’s not bad.”
Xu Juening immediately turned around and said to the official Pu Dian: "There is no need for the carriage outside. Just give me three fast horses."
Hearing this, Pu Dianli breathed a sigh of relief and realized that he was overthinking it. As long as it was confirmed that the person taking the test was Ashiheng himself, they would not care whether you use a heavy sword or a light sword, and they would not care about you.
Whether he is a martial arts practitioner or not has nothing to do with going to Beijing to take the exam.
On the other hand, the man who took the young master's place was obviously much calmer than me, and he was worthy of being the one who could kill three snake monsters.
Before he answered, Xu Juening pointed at the two guards again, "It would be a burden to follow them. Stay here, there is no need to go."
Pu Dianli was surprised, "How can this be done? The county must send the person and get the handover documents before handing over the job. Otherwise, the county cannot bear such a big responsibility."
"It's okay if I say it. I'll put it on paper as proof and the state capital will send you the documents when I get back." Xu Juening said nothing and stopped talking. He turned around and stared at Yu Qing again. After looking up and down, he said: "No.
When a scholar dresses up, he changes his clothes, and when he wears a backpack, he looks like a scholar, so he changes it too."
At this point, everyone probably understood what he meant.
Not long after, three fast horses were waiting outside the yard, and they also got some fitting clothes for Yu Qing to change into.
When setting off, Yu Qing took a package out of his backpack and threw the basket containing books and other items into the corner. He had long thought it was cumbersome.
Pu Dianli's eyelids jumped. How could he be a scholar when he treated books like this? He quietly looked at the reactions of the two people in the Sinan Mansion. Sure enough, both of them were stunned.
Xu Juening said in confusion, "Ashiheng, don't you even want the books for the exam?"
Yu Qing nodded his head with his finger as if nothing was wrong, "It's all stored here."
Since he didn't care, Xu Juening had nothing else to say. He immediately tilted his head and said: "Then let's go."
"Wait a moment, the county magistrate has an explanation. Pu wants to give some instructions to the people of Aju on behalf of the county." Pu Dianli asked for permission, and with the permission of the other party, he immediately pulled Yu Qing into the room. After pulling him to the corner, he said
With a heartbroken look on his face, he shouted in a low voice, "This is a competition, not a martial arts competition. I told you not to bring a sword, but you have to. Brother, don't do such things like throwing books away casually again. It's not the behavior of scholars. This surname is
Xu’s eyesight is extraordinary, so be careful on the way forward, think about everything before you do it, and give yourself a heads up first, okay?”
Yu Qing looked at him up and down, his eyes a little strange.
This lack of food and salt made Pu Dianli feel tired, and even more worried, he stamped his feet, "Brother, even if you don't think about yourself, you have to think about the young master!"
Yu Qing was happy, "That's it? I said what are you worrying about? They are not scholars. I don't know much about rushing for the exam, so I don't believe they can understand. Now, regarding scholars, they are laymen, I do
They are experts in everything, and you can fool them as long as they are fools, do you understand?"
It seems reasonable...Pu Dianli was speechless on the spot, and then he understood why this guy could not take any of Xu Juening's questions seriously, and even answered any way he wanted.
"Okay, don't scare yourself, keep it in your heart." Yu Qing raised his hand and patted his chest, turned around and walked away.
Pu Dianli watched him go and found that it was not without reason that the young master dared to let this person take his place, at least he was bold.
After setting off, the three people outside the small courtyard got on their horses and rode away.
Pu Dian officials at the door watched him off. As for the two government servants in the house, Xu Juening had given instructions before setting off that they were not allowed to leave this place within two days, nor were they allowed to have any contact with the outside world...
The three horses came out of the city gate, and Fang Daba accelerated his horse and galloped away. Yu Qing never looked back.
During the rest of the journey, Xu and Tang had nothing to say, and they didn't think they had anything to talk about with the scholar.
Yu Qing felt at ease and wished that these two people had no impression of him. He knew that he would just remember to go through the motions in a low-key manner during this trip.
