Quick Wear: Under the Skirt, All Beings Are Equal

Chapter 152 Young General: It's getting late, and the mountains and rivers are already winter

The next day, Shu Yijin came to the general's mansion to find Chang Qing again.

"Why are you here again?"

Chang Qing looked at him with a gloomy face, and his whole body exuded bad luck.

He didn't pay much attention to him. He put on his student uniform and prepared to go to the Imperial College to supervise the exam.

I don’t know what the old emperor was thinking. She already held an official position, but because of her young age, he still allowed her to be enrolled in the Imperial College.

Shu Yijin followed Changqing to the Imperial College. When others saw him, they were like seeing a ghost.

"Young Marquis, why are you here so early today?"

"Go away, go away. I'm annoyed." Shu Yi Jin seemed extremely annoyed. He looked at Chang Qing and wanted to speak several times, but he never had the chance.

"Hey, what's wrong? You're so angry so early in the morning. Is the new girl in Chun Man Lou dissatisfied?"

The person who was talking had a playful face and it was obvious that he often hung out with Shu Yi Jin. Shu Yi Jin kicked him directly on the butt, and he fell flat on his face.

"Are you serious? I told you I'd go drink with me tonight, recite poetry and admire the moon."

The man got up from the ground, brushed the dust off his clothes, and when he saw Chang Qing coming, he immediately became a good boy, bowed to Chang Qing and greeted him.

When Chang Qing first came, many people did not submit to her. After all, she had made her name on the battlefield, and no one had seen it with their own eyes. And seeing that she looked like she could kill someone with just one punch, naturally there were many arrogant and domineering young masters who wanted to cause trouble.

But after being beaten up, they all behaved themselves.

"It's rare. This is the first time I've seen this guy like this. He's like a mouse seeing a cat."

The person next to him put down the book in his hand, hummed twice, and told what had happened.

"You guys followed the teacher to Deliu Academy. You didn't know that the young man was called Xu Jinhuan. Yes, he was the legendary Xu Jinhuan. These people were not afraid of death and went to cause trouble for him. Then they were beaten and cried for their parents. Now he is considered the boss of the Imperial College."

Maybe this is an eternal phenomenon. Many scholars look down on warriors who are only good at wielding swords and guns, and those warriors look down on these weak scholars. There is even a saying that those who are brave and righteous are mostly butchers, and those who are unfaithful are mostly scholars.

Or maybe it's because they read too many books and have more tricks up their sleeves. Warriors have always liked to drink and eat meat with big gulps. When they go to the battlefield, they just pick up their swords to defend their country.

The two despised each other.

Now seeing Changqing like this, he was slightly surprised.

"I remember that Xu Jinhuan had thick eyebrows, big eyes, and a face full of stubble. He was so ugly that he could make children stop crying. He could kill several tigers with one punch. He was extremely ferocious and evil. If he stood there, the enemies would retreat."

Someone chuckled and said, "Seeing is believing. It's us who are narrow-minded. We actually believed those rumors."

"Can he really kill a few tigers with one punch?"

Some people also expressed serious doubts, looking at the young man in the bright white student uniform, but the next second, they swallowed the words back.

They saw with their own eyes that a fearless person who had just returned was provoking the young man.

The young man in plain clothes and black hair showed a very light smile, which was fleeting and left no trace, and then he slapped the man against the wall.

"Are you worthy of questioning me?"

Chang Qing was really annoyed. Just because of this face, there were always people who doubted Xu Jinhuan's battle record, as if they wanted to wipe out all the blood he had shed in the battlefield.

The person who provoked him cried out in pain and caught sight of Shu Yi Jin with his sharp eyes.

"Young Marquis, this person is provoking you. He is causing trouble in the school and he doesn't take you seriously at all."

Shu Yijin: "...get out of here, shut up, do we know each other? General Xu and I have a good relationship, stop trying to sow discord between us."

He wished he could find a place to hide himself, fearing that Chang Qing would grab him and beat him up. He secretly watched the miserable state of his brother and couldn't help being shocked.

It seems that I have to be careful in my daily life and not to completely anger Xu Jinhuan.

Suddenly, the memory of their first meeting came to his mind again. Fortunately, he was quick enough to back down and was shameless enough, otherwise he would be the one lying on the ground screaming.

He probably will never forget that day.

Chang Qing's invigilation was extremely strict, causing many students to complain bitterly.

The courses taught in the Imperial Academy of this dynasty were somewhat different from those in other worlds. In addition to the Four Books and Five Classics, they also covered offline current political affairs and even included students' martial arts. Although many of them were just fancy stuff, some were still very outstanding.

After a day of hard work, everyone in the Imperial College looked as if they had lost all desire to live.

Especially for those who had bribed the invigilators or relied on family connections in the past, when they walked out of the examination room, they were in a daze, as if they saw their own grandmother waving at them.

They shuddered and looked sad: "This is the end. If the results of the civil and military exams get out, my family will probably skin me alive. Who on earth brought this evil spirit here for no reason? He is so stubborn and won't respond to any persuasion or persuasion."

Chang Qing heard their voices and glanced over, scaring them so much that they immediately fell silent and left in a hurry.

It is worth mentioning that when the sun was shining brightly outside, Princess Qingyang came here on behalf of the old emperor, but she only stayed for a short time before returning to the palace to report.

Chang Qing didn't care too much, but when he saw Shu Yijin's miserable expression after holding it in for the whole day, the corners of his lips twitched. This guy could really endure it.

"Just tell me what you want to say. Seeing you like this, I can't even eat dinner."

Shu Yijin put away the nonchalant expression on his face, frowned slightly, and was silent for a while before slowly speaking: "My mother went to the palace this morning, and the Queen Mother asked me to go to the military camp for some training. I thought of coming to you to see if you could open a back door for me so that we can just go through the motions."

He was a notoriously dissolute young marquis in the capital, and wanting him to go to the military camp for training was even more painful than killing him.

Even though he usually appears arrogant and fearless, he knows his own worth very well.

"It's better for you to stay in the military camp. For the sake of our friendship, I will definitely have someone take good care of you." Chang Qing looked at Shu Yijin's face with a slight smile on his lips. He emphasized the word "take care" and one could tell it was extraordinary care.

Shu Yijin let out an exaggerated cry, and his whole body looked like a puppy that had been caught in the rain. He hung his head and looked at Chang Qing pitifully.

"I treat you as a brother. You can't sell out your brother like this. If I go to the military camp, I will be skinned alive. When I come out, my title of the first son will be taken away by others."

"The First Young Master?" Chang Qing asked in surprise.

Talking about this, Shu Yijin was full of pride: "Yes, there were several ignorant people who wanted to compete with me at the beginning. I directly brought the guards in our mansion, and the main strategy was to use the majority to bully the minority, and then beat them up severely."

Chang Qing had heard a thing or two about Shu Yijin.

The famous courtesan in Hongxiu Tower caused a sensation in the capital when she auctioned her virginity. Many royal officials went to watch and take part in the auction.

According to gossip, even the Crown Prince and several princes were in disguise that night. Unfortunately, it has not been confirmed until now. However, that night, the young marquis spent money lavishly and acted arrogantly. He used his wealth to crush various wealthy businessmen and spent a huge amount of money to buy the virginity of the courtesan.

On the second day, his old mother had him pressed on a stool and beaten until his skin was torn. He was then put in solitary confinement for two months and sent to the Academy to study hard. Unfortunately, this boy was always restless and even gambled openly in the school, leading many young masters astray.

After all these outrageous actions, the reputation of the dandy young marquis became more and more popular.

Shu Yijin is also a shameless man. Instead of feeling ashamed, he is proud of it. Every day he comes and goes in a grand manner with a large group of servants.

He was too arrogant, so naturally some people disliked him, but he could only endure it because he was the only child of Yong'an Marquis Mansion. If anything happened, he was afraid that Yong'an Marquis Mansion would be like a mad dog and do everything to help him out. Many people were unwilling to provoke him.

This is how he earned the title of the best young master in the capital.

It's quite funny to say. In other places, there are the Four Young Masters of Jiangnan and the Three Sages of Luocheng, all of whom are talented people, but the first young master of the capital is a playboy.

However, Shu Yi Jin was better than others in one aspect: he had a good-looking face and was extremely handsome. It was easy for people to have an illusion that the person in front of them was a beautiful girl.

There were people who were attracted by his face, but his behavior was too dissolute. Naturally, the girl's family was not willing to let their daughter marry such a playboy.

Shu Yijin felt a little uncomfortable when he saw Chang Qing staring at him. He shifted his gaze to the pot of purple vines not far away. He only saw the vines climbing up the pole, and small purple flowers were faintly visible among the leaves.

He said in a rough voice: "Hey, Xu Jinhuan, why don't you praise me? I saw this in the military book."

Chang Qing looked at the guy in front of him, shook his head helplessly, and said honestly: "You learned the military book very well, but you are not allowed to learn it next time. You are really shameless. You can say it so confidently when the majority bullies the minority."

The news that Shu Yijin asked Changqing to use a backdoor soon spread out, and the empress dowager even summoned Changqing specially, telling him in every possible way not to let him go.

It seems that the Queen Mother is determined to make Shu Yijin control his dandy character.

"General Xu." The man came alone and strode up to Chang Qing and stopped him when he was about to leave the palace.

"If you have time, please accompany me to visit the Imperial Garden."

Nangong Qing looked very gentle, with beautiful and noble eyes showing a warm smile at all times. His smile seemed to be without the airs of a prince, which made it very easy for people to let down their guard.

The imperial garden was full of rare plants, which were now clustered on the branches and withered. The two of them walked through the secluded path and passed by the neglected hibiscus tree. A breeze suddenly blew, rippling the rouge-colored flowers of the tree and landing on the young man, accidentally filling him with the fragrance of flowers.

Chang Qing's clear face was calm and he slowly brushed away the hibiscus petals on his shoulders.

Nangong Qing tilted his head slightly, and a line of poetry suddenly flashed in his mind: "We met without speaking, a lotus in the autumn rain." Then he lowered his head slightly and chuckled twice.

"The customs and habits of the capital are different from those of the border. General Xu, are you used to it after arriving in the capital?"

Chang Qing: "Thank you for your concern, Your Highness. I have been at the border for a long time. Except for feeling a little uncomfortable at the beginning, I am doing fine now."

Nangong Qing became interested and slowed down his pace. He smiled and said, "I heard that the young marquis was riding his horse in the city a few days ago and almost hurt someone. Fortunately, General Xu came to the rescue and the people in the city are praising him."

"Your Highness has praised me."

After walking around for a while, it was basically Nangong Qing who was talking, with Changqing occasionally replying with a few words.

In the end, Nangong Qing's target was Nangong Zhe, and he tried to find out indirectly what happened between Changqing and the second prince in the teahouse that day.

Chang Qing thought of Nangong Zhe, who said that his personal relationship with him had nothing to do with the power struggle, but at the same time deliberately spread rumors that were not true, showing that he had a tendency to stand on his side. So he told him about what happened in the teahouse and tricked Nangong Zhe a little.

As the two were talking, they saw Nangong Yunran squatting beside the Xieshui Pavilion, carefully holding up the hem of her skirt, and gently playing with the stream water with her fingers.

The sunlight was extremely shallow, with a gentleness that was not gentle at all, and enveloped the girl. The sunlight stained her eyebrows and eyes like fine snow, and the hanging green strips became entangled in the air along with her black hair blown by the wind.

"The weeping willows are swaying with soft waists, and the cold stream is like the shallow glass." Chang Qing said this softly when he saw this scene.

Nangong Qing silently repeated Chang Qing's words, feeling surprised. Looking at the young man's sharp and restrained eyebrows, he felt that even if this person did not go to the battlefield, he would definitely achieve something by taking the imperial examinations.

Nangong Yunran's beauty is different from the gorgeous aggressiveness of Princess Qingyang, and also different from the brightness and generosity of the Seventh Princess. Perhaps it is because of taking medicine for a long time, so her body is tainted with a bit of medicinal smell, which is not bitter, but highlights her overall temperament.

Yi Huan, who was standing next to him, almost cried in anxiety: "Princess, you are not well yet, you can't play in the water like this."

When Nangong Yunran learned that Nangong Qing and Changqing had met by chance in the Imperial Garden, she felt something was wrong, so she waited here and pretended to meet them by chance.

He glanced casually as if not caring, and seeing two people not far away, he stood up awkwardly and walked over slowly.

"Brother Prince."

She greeted Nangong Qing first, then looked at Chang Qing and said in a soft and gentle voice: "General Xu."

Seeing the shyness of a little girl between Nangong Yunran's eyebrows, Nangong Qing didn't want to stay any longer, so he found an excuse to leave. He just felt a little regretful that he had been preparing for so long without telling her his purpose of today.

Chang Qing smiled openly at the pale-faced girl in front of him, "Thank you, Princess, for helping Jin Huan out and not putting me in a dilemma."

"You are my fiancé."

Nangong Yunran responded to her just like Chang Qing did at the beginning, even with a bit of mischief in her tone, showing the vitality that a fourteen-year-old girl should have.

Yihuan watched the two people walking forward and deliberately slowed down his pace. After a while, he was a long distance away from them.

"Sister Yihuan, why are you crying?"

The young palace maid beside her looked at Yihuan in confusion. Why did Yihuan burst into tears for no reason?

Yihuan finally reacted and hurriedly wiped away her tears. She saw the smile on Nangong Yunran's face through the sunlight. She never thought that she would see the princess like this again.

"The sun is too strong today. It hurts my eyes a little."

She felt that it must be the spirit of the Queen in heaven, blessing the princess so that she could walk on thin ice for so many years and finally someone could protect her so that she could be herself.
