Women dressed as men: powerful officials

Chapter 147 Ge Shuxing

Wu Shiming had already chosen the place to bury his grandfather.

When he arrived at the wishing place, he saw a blank monument next to it. He was stunned and asked, "Whose is this?"

"This..." Wu Shiming scratched his head and said, "Maybe it belongs to someone else? I'm not sure."

"I don't know who it is. He doesn't even write his name clearly."

Xu Yuan looked at it and felt a sense of loneliness for no reason. But after a moment, she said, "Perhaps, this is also good. At least there is a tombstone. Some people don't even have tombstones."

For example, Wu Shiming before.

Xu Yuan didn't want to say much, for fear of making Wu Shiming sad.

Seeing that Wu Shiming had already chosen a place, she did not want to interfere. She gave Wu Shiming some money and asked him to buy the land, while she went home first.

Wu Shiming held the silver in his hand and looked at Xu Yuan who had already gone far away. He was lost in thought until the shadow completely disappeared. Then he said, "Xu Yuan, if only I had known you earlier, but now I can't turn back."

Fate did not give Wu Shiming a chance to turn back.

I made a wish and returned to Beijing. It was almost the end of the year and most of the things sold on the street were red, which made it look lively.

I made a wish for good luck and bought some red lanterns.

Before I even got home, I saw from afar that an alley was blocked by people.

Everyone who came was carrying boxes, some with exquisite pastries, some with other things; in short, there were a lot of them.

Holding a lantern while making a wish seems a bit out of place.

The way home was blocked.

Xu Yuan waited patiently, but after a long time, the people in the alley still didn't leave. She approached a kind-looking man and asked, "Brother, what are you doing here?"

When the man who was called by Xu Yuan heard these words, his eyes were still looking forward. He didn't turn around, nor did he ignore the person.

He said, "I heard that the person who won the first prize in the poetry pavilion yesterday lives here. Now, many people want to win over this talented person. It is said that the prime minister and the general are fighting for this person."

The words were so vivid.

Xu Yuan was so frightened that he completely forgot that he was the real master. He asked again, "If that's the case, why are you still crowding here? If that person doesn't choose the Taiwei Mansion, he must choose the Prime Minister's Mansion, right?"

Most importantly, what are these people outside doing?

Hearing this, the person who had been trying to squeeze forward finally turned around and gave an earnest admonition: "Young man, you are still too young. I cannot let that leader join my school, but I can take the opportunity to give him a gift. As the saying goes, it is the icing on the cake!"

After saying that, he turned around again, twisted his body, and tried hard to squeeze forward.

Standing at the front of the crowd were Qi Shengxin and Song Xiuwen.

Both of them were wearing brocade robes, and the young men had endless ambitions, which was the best decoration.

With these two people at the center, a few steps behind them were people rushing to deliver things.

It’s just that the people crowded in the front were discussing whose family Xu Yuan would become a retainer.

The people at the back just wanted to squeeze forward so they could give out their gifts.

Qi Shengxin closed his eyes, unaffected by the noise around him, like an immortal who was isolated from the world.

On the other side, Song Xiuwen didn't have such good patience.

He asked the time several times, and when he saw that the door had not yet opened, he muttered, "Isn't this guy a little too aggressive? There are so many of us gathered here, but he didn't come out. Could he be afraid?"

After he finished speaking, Song Xiuwen realized that what he said was a little inappropriate, and he added: "But we are not looking for trouble with him, so why don't you come out?"

Qi Shengxin still didn't speak.

Seeing that he really couldn't squeeze in, Xu Yuan took a few steps back and thought of the Grand Tutor's Mansion.

She wanted to visit the Grand Tutor's Mansion.

The most important thing is to see if Shen Renyao is Shen Renyao.

Then I suddenly felt that it might not be a good idea to visit him rashly.

After much thought, Xu Yuan found a teahouse, ordered the cheapest tea, and sat down in the corner.

In the capital, the news about the champion of the poetry pavilion had already spread.

This time, it is more amazing than ever.

Because, there were two people who overpowered Song Xiuwen.

You know, when the gambling game started, it was known that Song Xiuwen would participate because the most people bet on Song Xiuwen.

Although Song Xiuwen is not as good as Shen Yichuan and Qi Shengxin, he is also a very talented person. Even such a person lost. It is hard to imagine how powerful the other two people on the list are.

One makes a wish, the other is anonymous.

The second person couldn't find the answer, so there was more discussion. After one night, the focus of the discussion became making a wish.

It is said that Xu Yuan is the person that the Taiwei Mansion and the Prime Minister's Mansion are vying to win over...

Xu Yuan couldn't help but find those words ridiculous.

Xu Yuan didn't know why the Prime Minister's Mansion helped her.

But the Taiwei Mansion did this because it was targeting her life.

Thinking of this, Xu Yuan was still a little surprised. Why would the Prime Minister's Mansion be friendly to her at the very beginning?

Xu Yuan doesn't think he has the ability to deserve the prime minister's attention.

But she couldn't figure this out.

Xu Yuan held the teacup and looked out the window boredly. Not long after, another person sat down in front of her.

is a man.

She looked a little strange, and after sitting down, she just looked at him without saying anything.

Making a wish is a little uncomfortable.

After looking around and finding that there were many empty seats, she stood up and changed to another table.

The man followed her and changed to another table.

At this time, Xu Yuan finally understood that this person was coming for her.

So, she said in a good-tempered manner: "I wonder what's the matter, sir?"

The man glanced at her and said directly: "I'm looking for you. It's important."

Xuyuan frowned, not being able to figure out what it was for a moment.

The man touched a little tea and wrote two words on the table.

Without waiting for the last stroke to be completed, Xu Yuan raised his hand and wiped off the two words with his sleeve.

Her expression remained unchanged as she stood up and said, "Come with me. This is not the place to talk."

Xu Yuan didn't know if anyone was watching or following him.

So, she wanted to find an open place.

Prevent being tracked.

Geshu Xing did not hesitate and followed Xu Yuan out.

Xu Yuan walked along the moat until there were no houses on all sides. Then he stopped and turned back to ask, "Did Geshu Khan send you?"

Ge Shuxing nodded and said, "The Khan asked me to protect Master Xu and also take charge of making money. The Khan said that Master Xu is going to take the national exam, and as a scholar, it is not convenient for him to show up."

Make a wish and it’s clear.

This was to urge her to act faster.

Thinking of this, Xu Yuan asked, "Is there a place to live?"

"It's next door to Master Xu's house."

After Ge Shuxing finished speaking, he added: "Next door, next door."

Hearing the difference, Xu Yuan raised an eyebrow and asked, "What does this mean?"

"Yesterday the family next door wanted to sell their yard, but for some reason they changed their mind early this morning. So I had to settle for the next best thing and chose the one next door."

After Ge Shuxing finished speaking, he added: "I have been in the capital for two days. I was afraid of troubling Master Xu, so I showed up after arranging everything."

"I see."

Xu Yuan nodded and said, "You go back first. I will let you know when I have news."

Geshu Xing looked at Xuyuan and wanted to say something, but in the end he said nothing and turned and left.

Before he left, he heard Xu Yuan say, "Wait a moment."

"What's wrong?" Ge Shuxing turned around and asked.

"I want to trouble you for something first." Xu Yuan looked at Ge Shuxing and said, "No trouble."
