Rebirth of the Princess She is weird

At night in Shi Song's villa, a middle-aged man in purple court robes, with a black belt with gold spider patterns tied around his waist, and his black hair standing up and fixed with a gilded jade hair crown.

With his sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, it is not difficult to tell that he was a handsome man when he was young. Under the candlelight, he leaned on the armchair and read a book. The solemn and murderous aura all over his body made people afraid.

Shi Song came back from outside and reported to him about Helian Furong's situation. He bent down and said, "Prime Minister Shen, I'll take the letter."

Shen Que stopped flipping through the book and frowned, "Letter? What letter?"

"It's your letter to examiner Lu Xiangshan."

He put the book down, sighed and smiled, saying indifferently: "It's not a letter, just a verbal message. Just tell him that books contain beautiful women and golden houses... Do you understand what I mean?"

Shi Song nodded and stepped back, "Well, I understand."

Changzhou Water Village is always warm, with a drizzle of rain. Most of the people on the cruise ship are students coming to take the exam. When they pass by a house, they always turn back and linger...

In the simple pavilion, a man with a mustache and a righteous face frowned as he watched Shi Song hand the banknote to him. He had been meeting guests at this simple eight-immortal table all his life, but he had never seen such a large amount of banknotes.

Such a huge amount of money could probably buy his entire fortune.

He touched it with shaking fingers, looked at it carefully, raised his eyes and said in disbelief: "Five thousand taels?!"

Shi Song pointed at the table, which was almost falling apart, and glared, "It's not enough, add another five thousand taels of gold!"

"Xun Fuhou...gave so much?" Lu Xiangshan was so shocked that his jaw dropped.

"Brother Lu, think about it." Shi Song looked at his tattered clothes, lowered his eyes and clapped his hands, sneering, "Three years to clean up the government, 100,000 silver coins, not to mention that local officials have various ways to make money, right?" He stood up and pointed outside indignantly, "Let's talk about ordinary bureaucrats. The Ministry of Revenue can deduct land taxes, the Ministry of War can take kickbacks from military rations, the Ministry of Works has craftsmen deducting, the Secretariat, the Shangshu, the Menxia Province, although Chang'an City is poor, there are several departments below to show respect and find excuses to send money. Our Ministry of Rites is a poor government that manages etiquette and imperial examinations. No one respects us, and the Ministry of Personnel is even more idle."

"But no matter how poor we are, we can't trade the future of students for money." Lu Xiangshan put down the banknote and frowned, "After ten years of hard study, so many people have turned gray and shed tears. How can I spend this money?"

Shi Song stood up and turned around to ask, "After ten years of studying, you said that I went from being a nobody to my current position because of my filial piety to Prime Minister Shen."

"But I'm doing fine here." Lu Xiangshan looked at the plaque of integrity given to him by his students.

"It's easier to be an official if you have talent in the court. Even if you pass the imperial examination, you still have money. Those with connections will be given the first chance to fill the vacancy, while those without connections will be sidelined. You want to clear your reputation, but what can you do now?"

Lu Xiangshan put his hands behind his back and turned his head away stubbornly. The wind blew up the corners of his clean clothes, "Anyway, I won't do it!"

Shi Song looked down on him, walked up to him, leaned over and asked, "Don't do it? Think about it, we are all ministers who are dedicated to the country, so why should some officials get paid and others get rich, while we deserve to suffer?"

Lu Xiangshan couldn't bear to let go, and he couldn't bear to give up, so he said earnestly: "But I have a good reputation in my life..."

"Worthless!" Shi Song smiled sarcastically, flicked his sleeves and turned away.

Lu Xiangshan thought for a long time, looking back over the years, he had countless students, but few of them came back to see him, and he was never promoted. He could only be a small imperial examination examiner in this small place.

He felt very unfair when he thought about his innocent life but no chance of promotion.

Thinking of this, he suddenly felt his legs go weak. He sat back in his chair and slowly reached out for the silver note with the words "farewell to Qingming" written on it.

Yuan Fuge discussed with her grandfather and decided to go to the Imperial Examination Institute to see if she could meet He Yunyan, the counselor of her second brother in her previous life. He should be a scholar now. In the previous life, he passed the provincial examination but was squeezed out. His future was ruined by the court struggle. This proud son of heaven was forced to become his second brother's staff.

Inside the examination hall, the boy urged impatiently, "Take more, and these..."

"As ordered!"

The young man said without any emotion: "Wait till dawn....this thing must be delivered to Prime Minister Shen, and nothing can go wrong, otherwise I will jump into the river with my head on my shoulders..."

"Yes!"

Shen Que? What does he want these things for? Yuan Fuge was puzzled. Could it be that he wanted to reveal the test questions and let the candidates bribe him? Taking advantage of the night, she flew to the eaves. She patted her clothes and looked down. She didn't expect that she learned well from Xianyue and had mastered it so quickly.

There was so much noise over there that no one paid any attention to her, so luckily no one noticed her.

She was still feeling relieved when suddenly there was a flash of sword and she lost her balance and stepped on a piece of rubble. The sound of the tiles breaking was particularly clear in the empty and deep night.

The young man swung his ponytail, quickly drew out his sword, and said coldly: "Who is there, come out!"

Hearing his voice, she quickly ran away, and the boy also chased after her. Under the moonlight, two figures, one above and one below, chased each other.

The night wind was blowing, and the leaves were swirling and blown down. The cold moonlight illuminated her and cast a slender figure.

The young man's robe rustled as he chased after the man. He shouted, "Stop! Don't even think about running away!"

Yuan Fuge rushed forward at a very fast speed. Suddenly, a cold light flashed in front of him, and the young man surrounded him.

Oops! Yuan Fuge thought to herself, the young man's eyes met hers.

He looked up at her, a hint of frost flashed in his eyes, and a subtle arc appeared at the corner of his mouth. He said in a deep voice: "I caught you——"

Yuan Fuge raised his head in an instant and opened his eyes wide. The moonlight shone on Lu Yanxiu's handsome face. He was wearing a moon-white silk shirt with a pattern of flying cranes, which made him look lifelike. He had well-defined cheeks, a high nose, and deep eyes, revealing an angelic pride. His hair was raised with a hairband and a jade pendant hung around his waist, which made him look more unruly.

I couldn't believe that at this critical moment, she was stunned and the boy pulled her down.

"Bang!" Yuan Fuge hurriedly touched her face. She subconsciously touched her earlobe, but suddenly realized that she was a man now, so she quickly touched the back of her head.

Fortunately, she didn't reveal herself. She covered her head and cried out in pain.
