I am in heaven, but the whole world loves me [Quick Transmigration]

Chapter 39 The Arrogant and Willful Little Prince of the Champion

And this bachelor is also the chief examiner of this imperial examination.

Wang Minzhi's eyes lit up, he stood up quickly, scanned the painting carefully, and finally thought of something, he chuckled lightly: "Lu Yuanbin, wait for me."

Because Wang Minzhi grew up in Kyoto, he knew many sons of high-ranking officials, and of course there were also some of the great scholars.

The University scholar is well-known in Kyoto for being ruthless and selfless, but his only weakness is the youngest son born by his wife.

His youngest son was good-looking and had an out-of-the-box personality. He had a good relationship with Wang Minzhi since he was a child. Even if he made a mistake, his father couldn't say anything harsh in front of his mother-like face.

Wang Minzhi went out soon. He originally wanted to ask his servants to prepare the horses, but after thinking of the embarrassment that Lu Yuanbin had given him during the day, his complexion instantly sank, and the words he was about to say were changed to "Prepare the carriage" in time. , I want to go out."

When someone came to report that Wang Minzhi went to the University Scholars’ Mansion in a carriage, his father and mother looked at each other helplessly: "I just said, he doesn't need our advice at all, look, he will be gone soon." Temper, went to find friends to play."

The two of them relaxed, so they stopped paying more attention to Wang Minzhi, and went about their own affairs.

But Wang Minzhi rode to the University Scholars' Mansion, knocked on the door and called the young master out, and the two of them went to the Hualou to have a table of wine, and naturally Wang Minzhi paid for it.

He stretched out his hand to pick up the small wine jug, poured a glass of wine for the young master, and then held the wine glass with some depression: "I am really ashamed today."

The young master also heard about Wang Minzhi and the others, so he promptly asked, "But what about Lu Yuanbin blatantly blocking you on the street?"

The reason why the young master can know is because the subordinates know that the young master and Wang Minzhi are friends, so they will inform him in time when they encounter relevant matters.

But Wang Minzhi only thought that his embarrassing stories were spread all over the capital, and he didn't know how many people were secretly laughing at him.

Thinking of this, he slammed the glass on the table depressedly, poured himself another glass of wine after a long time, drank it down and said embarrassingly: "How can I say that I am also a little famous person in Kyoto, Even if you don't look at the monk's face, you should also look at the Buddha's face... This is the first time I have been humiliated like this, it is extremely embarrassing."

"Yeah," the young master imagined the scene at that time, and couldn't help but empathize with him, "That Lu Yuanbin was too unreasonable. Riding a horse on the street is a normal thing, and he has to make it look like a crime." It's the same as the law."

The two of them chattered for a long time, and Wang Minzhi also gave the young master a lot of wine.

Finally, at the end, Wang Minzhi sighed: "No, I can't help it, I have to breathe."

"How to vent your anger?" Wang Minzhi has been talking about it for so long, and the young master also feels that Lu Yuanbin is heinous and domineering now, and he deserves to be taught a lesson, so he moved his body to Wang Minzhi's side and asked drunkenly, "How about we Let's play a trick together and trick him into the wilderness to beat him up."

The young master's idea is very simple, Wang Minzhi also thought about it.

But even if Lu Yuanbin was beaten to death, he still couldn't vent his anger, so he rolled his eyes, put his mouth next to the young master's ear, and mysteriously told him his plan: "I have an idea."

Seeing that the other party pricked up his ears to listen, Wang Minzhi's tone became even more excited: "You hold a banquet at your house, invite Lu Yuanbin over, and design him to appear at the door of your father's study, and then we catch him on the spot Say he wants to steal the imperial examination questions, let your father give him a good meal."

"This...isn't that good?" The young master frowned in embarrassment, thinking that using this method against Lu Yuanbin was going too far.

If he is really convicted of stealing exercises, what awaits Lu Yuanbin may not be a simple punishment, but... death.

If the situation were worse, Lu Yuanbin's nine clans might all be implicated.

It's just a loss of face, is it necessary?

Seeing the young master's hesitation, Wang Minzhi snorted coldly: "Are we still brothers? Are we friends? You are not willing to help me when I have suffered such a shame and humiliation? You don't have to do anything else, just open For the banquet, just invite Meng Yiqiu to come, and I will do the rest."

Being provoked by Wang Min, the young master's head became hot, and he immediately responded: "No problem!"

Seeing that the young master agreed, Wang Minzhi showed a bright smile, and patted the young master's shoulder fiercely: "This is my good brother!"

After he sobered up, the young master regretted that he had accepted such a bad thing by nodding in a daze, but he didn't have the face to regret it, so he could only grit his teeth and start preparing for a banquet at home.

The bachelor was just before the scientific examination, and felt that he should not have a banquet at home, because the flow of people was too large, and some accidents were likely to occur.

But the young master gritted his teeth and insisted on holding a banquet in the mansion, and invited most of the scholars in the capital, including Lu Yuanbin and Li Qingru.

For this kind of banquet, Lu Yuanbin had never thought of participating in it, but after chatting with Li Qingru, he found that Li Qingru was very interested in going to the banquet.

"If the bachelor can attend, as long as I can chat with him a few words, it is possible to improve the ranking of the exam." When Li Qingru said this, there was a bit of longing in his eyes.

When Lu Yuanbin saw the invitation, he felt a little uneasy, but he didn't know where the uneasiness came from, so he didn't pay much attention. Instead, he went to Li Qingru to ask about the specific situation.

After hearing the details, Lu Yuanbin's uneasiness never faded away.

In the end, he decided to go to the banquet with Li Qingru, reminding him to be careful not to make any major mistakes.

Lu Yuanbin taught Li Qingru's study, so according to his seniority, he can be regarded as half of Li Qingru's teacher. He can't just watch his apprentice make problems not long before the exam.

So a few days later, he and Li Qingru went to the University Scholars' Mansion together.

Wang Minzhi stood in the crowd, observing the situation at the door carefully. Seeing Lu Yuanbin and Li Qingru walking in together, he let out a sigh of relief, and the tension in his heart finally dissipated a lot.

After sending out the invitation, he was very worried that Lu Yuanbin would not come. After all, Lu Yuanbin has always been unwilling to attend the banquet. At that time, Wang Min's family held a three-day banquet in order to congratulate him on getting the second place in the exam. Almost everyone in the capital They all came to take a few mouthfuls of rice, which was considered a joy.

But Lu Yuanbin obviously received the invitation from the Wang family, but he didn't even show his face in the past few days.

Although everyone thought it was normal, and the number one pick shouldn't come to win the second place, but Wang Minzhi just felt that Lu Yuanbin looked down on him, so he didn't want to come.

Seeing him coming to this banquet now, Wang Minzhi's heart skipped a beat, he couldn't help but puffed out his chest, and strode up to him: "Last time when I invited you kindly, the number one scholar didn't even show up. It’s here, it’s really radiant.”

Lu Yuanbin glanced at him with a half-smile, and directly interrupted his conjecture: "Young minister sees that it is the invitation of the Grand Scholar, so it is not good to save the face of the Grand Scholar, so I will come to pay a visit... I don't know, Mr. Wang Also there."

Speaking of this, Lu Yuanbin made a suddenly realized expression, and hurriedly bowed his hands to Wang Minzhi: "Xiaosheng has seen Mr. Wang."

Faced with Lu Yuanbin's disdainful expression, Wang Minzhi was furious. He gritted his teeth, and there was a bit of displeasure in his eyes, but he still smiled on the surface: "In this case, Zhuangyuanlang's banquet this time But you must eat more, I heard that the banquet is full of delicacies from mountains and seas, which are very nourishing."

Seeing the provocative smile on Wang Minzhi's face, Lu Yuanbin still accepted it very calmly: "Then thank you, Mr. Wang, for reminding me."

Watching Wang Minzhi leave bitterly, Li Qingru asked curiously: "Mr. Lu, do you have a feud with Mr. Wang? Why do I feel that there is something wrong with you two?"

Regarding this, Lu Yuanbin did not hide it, but thought about it with some hesitation, and then nodded lightly: "It should be? But I don't know why Mr. Wang doesn't like me, maybe it's me You don't know how to be a human being on weekdays, so you must have offended the prince."

Li Qingru followed suit twice, in fact, he had already figured out the reason quickly in his mind.

Isn't it because Lu Yuanbin won the No. [-] Scholar and Wang Minzhi only got the second place, so you feel uncomfortable?

In the face of someone who is better than yourself, what you should do is to study hard and work hard to surpass him, instead of feeling uncomfortable when you look at it and feel that the other party has robbed you of your position.

Li Qingru finished slandering in his heart, and put on a smile on his face again.

Although he is the concubine of the Li family, there are many concubines and daughters in the capital of big families. Li Qingru naturally has his own social circle, and he has a few good friends on weekdays.

Seeing them at this time, Li Qingru's eyes lit up, and he hurried to meet them.

But after realizing that there was Lu Yuanbin behind him, his steps slowed down, and then he glanced at Lu Yuanbin hesitantly: "Young Master Lu...Look..."

Seeing Li Qingru's embarrassment, Lu Yuanbin smiled caringly, and shook his head indifferently: "Go find your friends, I'll walk around, I won't go too far, if there's anything, I'll call you name."

"Okay." Li Qingru felt relieved, nodded, and then slowly walked towards his friend, turning his head to look at Lu Yuanbin from time to time.

However, Lu Yuanbin did not leave Li Qingru too far away, and even kept Li Qingru in his sight, fearing that something might happen to him and it would affect the imperial examination in a few days.

Although he is currently guarding the order in the streets of Kyoto, and his life is not as comfortable as that of the champions in the past, but no matter what, his ranking is still there, he is indeed the champion.

So many people came over to say hello to him, asking him the secret of winning the No. [-] Scholar, whether he was liked by His Majesty, or because the essays he wrote were particularly good, and the ideas were extremely novel...or the writing was excellent to the extreme, Make His Majesty unable to resist the desire to be the number one scholar?

This question had already been circling in everyone's minds when Lu Yuanbin was hand-picked as the No. [-] scholar. Now that they saw him in person, everyone dug out the question from the bottom of their hearts and pondered over it for a long time.

Some people came up to strike up a conversation, and directly asked Lu Yuanbin to help teach the helpless children at home with a lot of money.

Of course, there must be students from Lu Yuanbin's same class who came over and asked Lu Yuanbin where he worked recently and what was his income, seemingly caring but full of sarcasm.

"I heard that the number one scholar was admitted from the countryside, but his perseverance is amazing..." There was a kid from Kyoto who was not used to Lu Yuanbin, who was jealous and disgusted with him, stood in front of Lu Yuanbin, with a smile that was not a smile Looking at him intently, "I just don't know where Zhuangyuan Lang has been working recently? Can you bring his family to Kyoto?"

Faced with his sarcasm, Lu Yuanbin inevitably felt a little unwilling.

But he still maintained a calm expression on the surface, lowered his eyes very naturally, raised his hands to worship the direction of the Forbidden City, and then replied loudly: "Thunder, rain and dew are all the grace of the king. , no matter what, I will try my best to do it well, so as to live up to the painstaking efforts of the Holy Majesty."

It may be that his unchanging expression angered the official boy next to him, he sneered, and said in a sharp tone: "If I remember correctly, Zhuangyuan Lang should be like a reckless man, patrolling the streets of Kyoto right now? I don't know how Zhuangyuan Lang offended the Holy Majesty, and actually assigned you such a hard job."

"No, no," Lu Yuanbin had some thoughts, "The Holy One means that I want my ministers to see the situation of the people with their own eyes and understand the lives of the people, so that in the future they can distinguish the suffering and happiness of the people more clearly, without having to worry about it." Looking up from a high place, nothing can be observed.”

There is some truth to what he said.

Seeing that they couldn't beat Lu Yuanbin in a verbal battle, the group of children stopped asking for trouble, but dispersed one after another, wandering in the yard with their familiar classmates.

Lu Yuanbin sat beside the chair with his head down, looking at the cakes on the table, and occasionally picked up a piece and threw it into his mouth.

Some disciples passing by laughed at him for not having seen the world, and Lu Yuanbin ignored him. Occasionally, when he was annoyed by what he said, he stood up and said that since he has even seen the emperor, this is the greatest world.

A large group of ants were queuing up to move on the ground. They were packed together like a black belt.

Lu Yuanbin stared at them for a while, then carefully pinched a small piece of pastry and threw it into the ant pile.

They were taken aback by the cakes that fell on the ground and their bodies, but soon they came back to their senses and hurriedly worked together to lift up a piece of cake that was too big for them, and walked towards a new cave in the distance .

At this moment, Lu Yuanbin suddenly saw a note falling in front of him.

The note stopped in front of him, motionless.

This is... a note for him?

Lu Yuanbin waited hesitantly for a long time before picking up the note from the ground. After unfolding it, he found a line of small characters on it: "Mr. Lu, Xiaosheng got an ancient version of "Shuowen Jiezi" by accident. Hope to study with you... If you are interested, please go straight, then turn right, in a study with red tiles, Xiaosheng is waiting for you."

This passage seemed unreliable, but Lu Yuanbin stared at the words "Shuowen Jiezi", still hesitating.

Almost everyone who is in the same class as Lu Yuanbin or who has known him knows that he has a great pursuit and interest in this kind of books, and even on the eve of the exam, he went to bookstores in the east of the city to look for them because of a rumor. , almost delayed the exam time.

Lu Yuanbin felt that this was a bait, a kind of conspiracy, but he couldn't help the temptation, thinking of going to see it, what if this book really exists?

He gritted his teeth and stood up anyway.

Wang Minzhi looked at Lu Yuanbin in the crowd not far away, seeing that he got up and left after wavering, a smug arc crossed the corner of his mouth.

Lu Yuanbin is finished.

Lu Yuanbin followed the direction mentioned on the note until he walked to the door of the red-tiled house, but before he had time to look carefully, he felt his arms being twisted backwards. At the same time, many people screamed "there is an assassin", The sound quickly broke through the sky.

Wang Minzhi and the young master took the path together, and behind them was the Grand Scholar.

The bachelor was dragged by his youngest son, and he heard the two young men complaining quickly: "We found Lu Yuanbin in the yard and wanted to come out to look for him, but we saw him at the door of your study... ...What are you doing at the door of the study when you have nothing to do...you must be severely punished..."

It was just that the two of them chattered excitedly, and soon after seeing a figure stopped at the door of the study, they all swallowed it into their throats.

"Third...Third Prince?"

Si Jing stood there calmly, half opened the folding fan in his hand, and he took it back with a "swish".

He glanced at Wang Minzhi and the young master, and greeted the Grand Scholar with a smile on his face: "Grand Scholar."

The bachelor also hurriedly bowed to Si Jing, and then looked at Lu Yuanbin with puzzled eyes: "My lord, what's going on?"

"Oh, him," Si Jing stretched out his hand indifferently, patted Lu Yuanbin's shoulder with a folding fan, and said helplessly, "Ben Wang accidentally saw Mr. Lu by the side of the courtyard. I asked him to go for a walk, but he walked a few steps faster and was caught."

Hearing his explanation, not only the young master and Wang Minzhi looked at him in surprise, but even Lu Yuanbin glanced sideways at him.

However, Si Jing ignored the surprised gaze cast by Lu Yuanbin, but took a step forward, stretched out his hand and pushed his head back, and then tapped the guards' wrists with the handle of the fan: "Let him go, my king! I finished explaining it to the grand maester."

Hearing this, the Grand Scholar came to his senses, and hastily ordered seriously: "Let go of Mr. Lu!"

After the guards backed away obediently, the bachelor said a little embarrassedly: "My lord, you can't blame us for being too nervous, it's just that the study is filled with the subject of this scientific examination, and we are afraid that it will be leaked. Everyone can't escape the responsibility, everyone is punished together... I would rather offend more people."

"It's okay." Si Jing smiled, looking very humble and considerate, "This king understands the thoughts of the Grand Scholar, and he will not protect him too much, but since Mr. Lu has done nothing wrong, this king will not let others Splash dirty water on him."

"...how about this?" Si Jing glanced at the senior scholar, seeing that he still had lingering fears, and proposed a method, "From now until the time of the scientific examination, lock up Mr. Lu and let me take care of him personally. Since there is no way to communicate with outsiders, naturally let alone pass on information... In this way, regardless of whether he made a mistake or not, the grand maester can rest assured."

After receiving Si Jing's words, the Grand Scholar heaved a sigh of relief, relaxed a lot, and hurriedly nodded in agreement.

Lu Yuanbin kept frowning and looked at Si Jing from the corner of his eye.

If you say that Si Jing doesn't like him, at this critical moment, Si Jing is willing to come forward to help him get rid of the suspicion; but if you say that Si Jing trusts him very much, Si Jing also proposes to lock him up... Lu Yuanbin, who was bewildered by Si Jing's actions, heaved a sigh of distress.

At this moment, Si Jing suddenly raised his head, and his eyes fell lightly on Wang Minzhi and the young master.

The two of them had hardly seen Si Jing. Although they had heard about his appearance, they had never seen it with their own eyes, so they didn't really believe it.

But seeing Si Jing in person this time, the eyes of both of them were filled with amazement.

"Since the two of them also stayed at the door of the room... the king should also lock them up, so that everyone is fair, how about it?" Si Jing looked at the senior scholar with a smile on his face.

Although the bachelor was reluctant to part with his younger son, he didn't dare to contradict Si Jing's eyes. He could only wipe the sweat from his forehead with his hand in embarrassment, and nodded: "It's all up to the prince."

"In that case..." Si Jing whistled, and saw a group of soldiers rushing not far away. They lined up neatly in front of Si Jing, waiting for his order.

"Take the three of them away."

Si Jing came to look for the senior scholar this time because he wanted to ask the senior scholar for a copy of calligraphy and painting, but he came alone and took three scholars with him when he left.

Everyone looked at the three who followed Si Jing with their heads bowed. Many people recognized their identities, but they didn't know where they offended the third prince and were taken away by the third prince.

Before leaving, Si Jing turned to look at the steward of the Grand Scholars' Mansion: "Tell the Grand Scholars that after the imperial examinations are over, I will bring the young master to pick up the calligraphy and paintings. I hope the Grand Scholars will be more careful, so that I won't look at the young master." It’s beautiful, I’ll take it back and get along for a while.”

The housekeeper heard the faint threat in Si Jing's words, and was so frightened that he didn't know what to say, so he could only stop and say "yes".

After almost explaining the situation, Si Jing took Lu Yuanbin, Wang Minzhi and the young master back to the station.

Putting the three of them in a room each, Si Jing first went back to the room to rest for a while, then got up and asked the servants to cook dinner.

He specifically reminded him that he should do more cooking this time, after all, there are a few new guests at the inn.

The small kitchen of the post station is full of imperial chefs. They usually cook for His Majesty and concubines. The craftsmanship is superb. Ordinary people can't taste this kind of craftsmanship at all, and they can't even see the extremely fresh ingredients in the kitchen.

Hearing the servants walking outside the window, the three of them gradually came to their senses, and they all pondered for a long time in the room, not knowing what the third prince was doing and whether there was any conspiracy.
