Lin'an Never Night

Chapter 283 Xue Zhuzhu is a bit of a scumbag
Yang Yuan rested well that night.

After a bath, I felt refreshed.

With beauties accompanying him, he drank and ate until he was tipsy, and his body and mind were naturally relaxed.

It’s just that Xiao Qingtang’s behavior is a little strange.

In Yang Yuan's impression, Qingtang has always been quirky.

The special living environment makes this little girl very mature in some aspects and more innocent than her peers in some aspects. She is a very likable little girl.

But this night, Xiao Qingtang sat last but always looked at him secretly.

Occasionally, their eyes met, and Yang Yuan felt that Xiao Qingtang's gaze was as if he had seen a god, and his eyes were full of awe.

I just want to pass the imperial examination, right? Why do you have this expression?
If I pass the imperial examination and come back as a Jinshi, won't you kneel down and kiss my feet?

Yang Yuan was somewhat disapproving.

He also knew that cultural knowledge was important, and the more developed human society became, the more important cultural knowledge became.

However, does this little girl admire “intellectuals” so much?

Yang Yuan saw this and couldn't help but become interested.

Xiao Qingtang is old enough to get married in an ordinary family, but Yang Yuan doesn't think she is old enough to get married.

Our family doesn't need her to feed us. Since she values ​​knowledge so much, when I come back from Shanyin, should I find a tutor for her?
This is a good idea. Luxi and Danniang can also learn together when they are free.

If you want to study, you can learn some practical knowledge, but you don’t have to learn poetry or songs. Yang Yuan is not really interested in that kind of stuff.

He thinks it is a trap, especially for women to learn poetry and songs.

Unless the woman has as many social opportunities as a man.

Otherwise, if you study those things all day long, carefully weighing each word and thinking hard, but are trapped in a small circle, it is easy to become a sentimental, melancholy person, and especially prone to depression.

Qingtang was eating heartily while holding a finger that was bandaged like a carrot, completely unaware that her strange expression tonight had prompted Yang Yuan to consider finding a teacher for her.

Xiao Qingtang didn't eat a single bite of the plate of geoduck slices dipped in mustard soy sauce.

As soon as she sees it, she will make associations, and as soon as she makes associations, she will feel pain!

Hiss~, my fingers really hurt.

……

Yang Yuan arrived at the speed room early in the morning, and everyone in the speed room gathered around him.

Everyone admired Yang Yuan for being able to persevere and finish all three exams.

When they heard Yang Yuan say that he was confident about the answer sheet, they all gave him kind encouragement.

Then, people from other rooms came to the "Chanzi Room" for various reasons to see the new things.

Although the Song Dynasty never restricted the transfer of military officers to civil service positions, there were almost no people who actually took this path.

Because who would choose the military career if they could take the civil service exam? And who would have the ability to take the civil service exam if they had already chosen the military career?
But Yang Yuan did it anyway.

As everyone knows, he had been hiding in the North for ten years, which passed when he was thirteen years old, and he had no famous teacher to guide him.

This spirit of learning is really admirable.

Leng Yuchan also came to visit Yang Yuan with her old colleagues from the "Yu Zi Fang".

The two couldn't talk about personal matters in front of everyone, but whenever their eyes met, full of affection, Leng Yuchan's heart would be warmed, and all her longing for him would be put to rest.

It took almost half an hour from the time of going to the yamen in the morning for the hustle and bustle of the "Chanzifang" to quiet down.

Leng Yuchan had no reason to stay in the "Chanzifang" any longer, but her identity issue had been resolved anyway. If she wanted to be with Yang Yuan openly, she could do so anytime in the future, and she felt at ease.

So when she left, she was also happy.

As soon as Yang Yuan returned to the signing room, Xue Bingxin followed him and bolted the door as soon as she entered.

Yang Yuan looked at her actions, not knowing what she was trying to do, and immediately became secretly alert.

Xue Bingxin no longer has any hostility towards Yang Yuan.

She was originally unhappy with Yang Yuan because she felt that he had snatched the promotion opportunity that belonged to her;

The second reason is that Leng Yuchan is from the inner court, and if she gets involved with Yang Yuan, it will harm her.

Now the first contradiction no longer exists.

As for the second one...

He has become the man of her best friend, and Leng Yuchan’s identity crisis has been resolved. Does she still need to be the bad guy?
Xue Bingxin walked to Yang Yuan's desk and said solemnly: "The head of the room has been taking the 'Fajie Test' these three days, and many things have happened here.

There were so many people here just now that it was inconvenient for me to talk. Now I want to talk to the headmaster."

When Yang Yuan heard this, he became a little nervous, fearing that something big had happened in the "Chanzifang" during these three days, so much so that he ignored Xue Bingxin's attitude and address towards him.

During this period, Xue Bingxin called him "Si Gong".

Moreover, in front of him, no matter her attitude or posture, there is always a deliberate sense of closeness and charm.

But at this moment, she had a businesslike face.

Yang Yuan asked anxiously: "What happened?"

Xue Bingxin curled her lips and said, "Master, why do you have to ask when you already know the answer? Didn't you ask Prince Enping to help me and Yuchan get rid of our palace membership?"

Yang Yuan was pleasantly surprised and said, "The Prince of Enping has already done it? Hey! You may say he is unreliable, but sometimes he is quite reliable."

Xue Bingxin asked curiously, "How did the head of the house know the Prince of Enping? They have such a deep friendship... How can you ask him to help you with such a big favor?"

Yang Yuan's expression tightened, and he said, "You didn't spread the news about my relationship with Prince Enping, did you?"

Xue Bingxin said, "What do Yuchan and I do? We work in the machine room. Don't we understand what to say and what not to say? Of course, we haven't told anyone." Yang Yuan breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's good."

Xue Bingxin tilted her head to look at Yang Yuan, then stepped back a little, and then said shyly:
"I can understand why the headmaster helped Yuchan to be released from the imperial palace. But I...why did the headmaster also release me from the imperial palace?"

Yang Yuan then realized that she had been talking about her and Yuchan.

Her palace membership was also lifted? She has nothing to do with me. This Prince Enping is really unreliable!
wrong!

Yang Yuan carefully recalled the conversation with Zhao Qu that day and suddenly realized where the problem lay.

He wanted to ask Zhao Qu for help, but Zhao Qu wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to help him and force him to study hard for the imperial examination.

As a result, he forgot to tell Zhao Yu such crucial information as who he was going to help escape from the palace, and Zhao Yu also forgot to ask.

Presumably, when Prince Enping was about to help him, he remembered that he had not asked clearly who he was helping to get rid of his nationality.

But he had entered the examination room at that time and there was no way to ask him, so Prince Enping simply expelled Xue Bingxin as well.

Yang Yuan was lost in thought, and his facial expression changed in various ways.

Seeing that he didn't answer, Xue Bingxin's expression changed several times, and she misunderstood him even more.

She subconsciously moved back a little, and then said hesitantly, "The head of the house helped me to get rid of my palace membership, and I am naturally very grateful.

If I have the chance in the future, I will definitely repay the headmaster, but… I don’t want to repay him with my own body.”

"Ok?"

Yang Yuan came to his senses and looked at Xue Bingxin in surprise. What the hell was she talking about?
Xue Bingxin blushed slightly and said, "I did act quite...close to the head of the house before.

Now, I am not afraid to confess to you, the head of the house. At that time, I was just worried that if Yuchan had any relationship with the head of the house, it would ruin her future.

But Yuchan is a stubborn donkey that refuses to move and is being led backwards. I have no choice but to... use a strategy to sow discord between them."

Yang Yuan was stunned and asked, "A plot to sow discord?"

Xue Bingxin blushed and said, "That's probably what it means.

At that time, I felt that the headmaster was not sincere to Yuchan, so... I wanted to expose the headmaster's true face and make Yuchan wake up..."

Only then did Yang Yuan understand why Xue Bingxin suddenly changed her attitude towards him, and he couldn't help but feel angry and amused.

He had actually guessed before, maybe Xue Bingxin knew in advance that he was going to be promoted for his merits and that she would be assigned as his subordinate, so she tried her best to curry favor with him?
Yang Yuan even looked down on her for this. It turned out that this was her real purpose in approaching him.

Seeing that he was staring at her without saying anything, Xue Bingxin thought that Yang Yuan was really attracted to her.

That's right, otherwise, why would he ask Prince Enping to remove his palace status as well?

Now that she had told him the truth, Xue Bingxin felt a little sorry.

Xue Bingxin lowered her attitude and said softly, "I'm sorry. Although I am very grateful for your help, I have never had any...sexual feelings for you..."

Yang Yuan smiled and wanted to tell her that it was all a misunderstanding, but suddenly something happened in his mind.

No, since the other party has already made their attitude clear, if he tells Xue Bingxin that it is just a misunderstanding, do you think she will believe it?

She would only think that it was an excuse for herself to save face, and would look down on him instead.

How about...let her think that her teasing of herself was successful, then she will feel guilty, right?
She feels guilty, so she will work for herself without regrets in the future, right?

Yang Yuan's mind raced, and a look of deep hurt appeared on his face. He forced a smile and said:

"Ah, so that's how it is. Yang has been with the deputy manager day and night these days, and I thought...

Forget it, it doesn’t matter. I, Yang Yuan, never force anyone to do anything when it comes to relationships…”

"Ah, that's good. I am grateful to you for helping me regain my freedom."

"Well, it's just a trivial matter, no need to talk about it anymore. You can go out now. I have three days of backlog of official business to deal with."

"Okay, okay, it's just... just..."

"Anything else?"

Xue Bingxin crossed her fingers, twisted her body, and looked embarrassed. She whispered, "I have another unwelcome request. I would like to ask the head of the room for help."

"what's up?"

"It's just... it's Prince Enping, I seem to like him a little.

His registered residence is currently in the Prince of Enping's Mansion.

If Prince Enping knows that I have no relationship with the head of the house and refuses to release me, then I..."

"Oh, I see. Don't worry, I won't say anything wrong to Prince Enping.

I will tell him that you and Yang are in love with each other and have decided to spend your lives together."

Xue Bing happily bowed to him and said, "Thank you very much for your kindness."

She secretly glanced at Yang Yuan's gloomy face again and said cautiously, "Then... I'll be leaving?"

Yang Yuan didn't answer, but just waved his hand gently.

Xue Bingxin tiptoed to the door, opened it, and looked back at him.

I saw Yang Yuan had stood up, with his back to the door, his head slightly raised, looking at the roof at a 45-degree angle.

His back looked indescribably desolate.

Just like a resentful woman who was abandoned by her husband and is trying hard to pretend to be strong.

Xue Bingxin's heartstrings suddenly trembled. She felt like she had taken the initiative to flirt with someone, and after taking advantage of him, the other person just patted her butt and walked away.

By the way, the travel expenses for running away were paid by someone else.

I, Xue Bingxin... am indeed a bit of a scumbag!
