Hearing that, Qu Zongwen cupped his hands towards Lei Xiangzhi and Huo Sirui, and joked: "Congratulations, Brother Lei and Brother Huo, at that time you can bring us on a tour around the streets, hahaha!"
Bu Qingyun and Zhao Tianhe agreed with a smile.
Lei Xiangzhi shook his head and laughed, "It's still too early to say all these." He then asked Lei Qinle and the other two, "Do you remember who the other three who are ranked in the top five are? Is there a Young Master Gu? "
Lei Qinle, Lei Qinzhong and Lei Qinshun all laughed dryly.
Lei Qinzhong said: "Fifth Young Master, in order to find your names quickly, Lei Qinle will look for you from the back, while the young one and Lei Qinshun will look for you from the back. We were only looking for your names and did not notice anything else."
Lei Xiangzhi did not mind: "It's fine, I'll just ask. "It's been hard on you."
Huo Sirui looked at the entrance of the i
, and more and more scholars came back. "Listen to the others and you will know."
When the i
keeper saw that they had finished talking, he smiled and walked over to congratulate Lei Xiangzhi and the other four, and he was especially warm to Lei Xiangzhi and Huo Sirui.
Qin Mian held onto his teacup and thought: I'm afraid that the payout rate at the corner of the stairs will change. He suddenly had a thought and reached out to untie the pouch on Lei Tia's waist.
Lei Tia didn't understand, and took the initiative to raise his left arm, making it convenient for him to act.
Qin Mian took out a piece of 50 taels of silver from his bag and called Lei Qinle over. While Yuan Yuan was still not paying attention, he secretly gave some instructions.
Lei Qinle nodded his head, holding the silver, he ran over to the counter and thought for a bit, and followed the young master to bet a tael of silver.
The group sat on the first floor for a while. From the discussions of the other scholars, they found out that the top five would be: Zhao Xian Zhi from the capital, Lei Xiangzhi from the Qingtian Mansion, Zhang He from the capital, Gu You Ran from Western Mountain Manor and Huo Sirui from the Qingtian Mansion. These five were the contenders for the championship, as well as the top scorers and flower scouts.
It was not unusual for the top five to have two places, but to think that Qingtian Mansion would have two places in the top five as well, it was unexpected. All the scholars from the Hong Lu I
gathered around, trying to get close to Lei Xiangzhi and Huo Sirui, and in a moment they had surrounded the table of people.
The group of people quickly retreated, escaping to Qin Mian's and Lei Tia's room on the second floor.
After a few more people stood still, Lei Xiangzhi realized that his perfume bag had been ripped off by someone, and speechlessly facepalmed himself. Huo Sirui, Qu Zongwen and the rest were all undressed, looked at each other, and laughed.
Qin Mian looked at them with a smile. "I have not formally congratulated you yet. At noon, Tia and I will invite you to the welcoming tower for lunch ?? "
Before he could finish his sentence, someone knocked on the door. It was the attendant from the Yuan Mansion who had brought them to the i
.
"This lowly one pays respects to all the young masters."
"Safe." Huo Sirui walked over, "Why are you here? But what instructions do you have for me, Uncle Yuan? "
Ping An laughed, "This humble one congratulates the five young masters. When our old master heard that the five young masters were on the list, he felt honored and honored. Tonight, there will be a banquet held in the manor to celebrate for the five young masters, I wonder if the five young masters have the time to do so? "
In terms of affection, Yuan Anshi had taken great care of them, and logically speaking, if he were to become an official in the future, he should, from now on, extend and deepen his relationship with Yuan Anshi. Huo Sirui and the other four would not reject this chance.
"Uncle Yuan, please welcome us. We are very honored. "Tell Uncle Yuan that we'll be there on time."
"Yes, this little one will take my leave."
Huo Sirui, who had received guidance from the President Huo, became more shrewd in his conduct of things, and reminded Lei Xiangzhi and the others, "Uncle Yuan has taken good care of us, but we ca
ot refuse him this time. However, we have yet to participate in the Hall Competition, so we should restrain our words and actions. If there is anyone else who wishes to invite you in, it's best that you reject them. "
Lei Xiangzhi and the others nodded to express their understanding.
Around noon, the group of people arrived at the welcoming post and asked for a private room. Qin Mian and Lei Tia invited Lei Xiangzhi's group of five to a sumptuous meal to supplement their strength.
Lei Xiangzhi and the other three even gathered money for Lei Qinle, Lei Qinzhong and Lei Qinshun to order some dishes on the table. Although these three were servants, they were not servants to them. They could not take their protection and care for so long for granted.
In the evening, Lei Xiangzhi and the other four went to the Yuan Mansion to attend the banquet.
In order to make things easier for them, Yuan Anshi had arranged for a errand boy to be assigned to each of them.
The Hall Competition was going to start in a month. In the following days, Lei Xiangzhi, Huo Sirui, Qu Zongwen, Zhao Tianchi, and the others returned to their previous days and often attended the student gathering to prepare for the Hall Competition one month later.
After Qin Mian and his family had played around everywhere in the capital, they started to run towards the surrounding towns with the capital as the center.
The last place they went was the Four Colors Mountain. After visiting the Four Colored Mountains, they would rest in the capital for two days before setting off for home. He calculated by pinching his fingers that he had been out for almost two months.
The scenery of the Four Colors Mountain is especially peculiar. It has four colors in four seasons of the year. Spring is purple, summer is white, autumn is yellow, and winter is red. The reason for this is that the mountain is full of purple hyacinths, white jasmine flowers, yellow chrysanthemums and red plum flowers. As a result, the color is different each season. What was even more peculiar was that these four flowers were not intentionally planted by humans. They had already been planted hundreds of years ago.
Qin Mian and the others had just come at the right time. The Snake-Person that was spread all over the mountains was open to its brightest and brightest, and the large expanse of purple was like a huge purple fur coat draped over the mountain range. The wind blew gently, and a fragrant aroma assaulted their nostrils, intoxicating them.
Halfway up the mountain, there was an i
. Qin Mian and his family stayed there for three nights before returning.
Noon. At the South gate of the city. He saw the familiar carriage. Tears flowed down his face. He was so excited that he almost got hit by the carriage.
"Woo ?? ??" Lei Qinle quickly stopped the horse, "Ping An, you brat, no matter how much you think about it, we don't have to be this excited, right? Do you want to die? "
Ping An wiped away his tears and asked anxiously, "Brother Le, stop joking. Is Young Master Lei and Young Master Qin in the carriage? "
Qin Mian could tell that something was wrong with his voice, he stuck his head out and asked suspiciously, "Ping An, what happened?"
His calmness had gradually calmed down. He wiped his face and said quickly, "Young Master Qin, quickly return to the i
with Eldest Young Master Lei. Young Master Lei and Young Master Huo are very ill. The doctor said, "Speak..."
"What?" Qin Mian's expression changed, he immediately made a decision, "Get on the carriage and tell me the details of the situation; Lei Qinle, return to the i
immediately."
Ping An immediately said: "Young Master Qin, let's go to the Yuan Mansion. Our Old Master has brought Young Master Lei and the rest to the Residence. "
Qin Mian secretly nodded, Master Yuan is really considerate.
Once he was safely seated on the carriage, Qin Mian said in a low voice: "Ping An, don't be in a hurry. Let me ask you first, why did the two of them get sick at the same time? Or could it be that this disease is contagious, and there are others who are ill? "
Yuan Yuan seemed to have sensed the heavy atmosphere, he quietly sat on Lei Tia's bosom and handed over a handkerchief to him.
"Thank you, little gongzi Yuan." Ping An squeezed out a smile towards Yuan Yuan and answered Qin Mian's question, "Young Master Huo and the rest of the five are sick. The other scholars are not sick. "
Qin Mianxin was filled with doubts, "Are the five of them sick at the same time, or is there a sequence?"
Ping An replied, "They fell down at the same time."
At the same time, only the five of them were sick. Qin Mian felt that it was even weirder, "Now, tell me the whole story."
"Yes." Ping An completely calmed down and explained in an orderly ma
er, "Young Master Qin, it's like this. Three days ago, the five of them went to Hundred Flowers Garden to attend a student gathering. When they returned, they felt uncomfortable. However, because of the strong wind, they thought they had caught a cold, so they didn't pay much attention to it. Who knew that near noon the next day, they would still be unconscious. Their errand boy felt that something was wrong, so he called for a doctor. The doctor said that the five of them had caught a cold, so he prescribed two doses of medicine, but the medicine did not change at all. The errand boy was worried, so he reported the matter to our Master. The Master sent someone to the largest medicine hall in the capital, the Return of Spring Hall, and asked for a senior doctor. The doctor concluded that it was not a cold, but he could not find out why he was unconscious. The old master even spent a large amount of money to invite the imperial physician, who said that he had been poisoned and that the antidote required several rare herbs that could only be gathered in the medicine house. He also said that if they still didn't wake up within five days, they would never wake up ?? Young Master Huo and the others are still so young, and their knowledge is so good. If they just... "What a pity ??" He shook his head, sighed, and began to wipe away his tears.
Qin Mian's expression froze as he said to Lei Tia, "Tia, it looks like someone did indeed use poison. However, the interactions between the five of them were extremely simple. They shouldn't have such great enmity with others. Could it be accidental? "
Lei Tia's eyes shone with a cold light, he embraced his shoulders and shook his head, "Wifey, you are too naive."
This was the first time someone thought that he was simple. Qin Mian felt it was strange, "What do you mean?"
Lei Tia said in a bland voice, "Other than the 'Hall Competition', I can't think of any other reason."
Qin Mian was shocked.
Ping An sighed, "I won't hide it from the two gongzis, our old master has the same suspicions. Most of Young Master Qu, Young Master Bu, and Young Master Zhao were implicated by Young Master Huo and Fifth Young Master Lei. Rumors were flying all over the capital. Some people said it was the people from the gambling den, some said it was someone from the top ten miles, and some even said it was the five young masters who had rejected the invitation of a certain lord, a certain lord ?? Some people even said that they couldn't bear the pressure and poisoned themselves ?? But really ?? Everyone has different opinions. The more people think about it, the more confused they become. "
Qin Mian looked startled, and sighed. The water in the capital was very deep, no wonder his Tia liked living in the countryside even more.
With these words, the carriage arrived at Yuan Mansion.
Qin Mian let Ping An lead the way, walking quickly in front, Lei Tia carrying the two children, without falling behind at all.
