Women dressed as men: powerful officials

Chapter 255 Fireworks

Grand Tutor Shen is the elder, the emperor's teacher, and the father of Concubine Xing.

Bei Yao stood up and bowed respectfully, saying, "Greetings, Grand Master. I am your student, not your disciple."

"I am old now, and I cannot bear the apology from the prince."

Shen Yijie finished speaking angrily, and when he saw Xu Yuan, a smile immediately appeared on his face and he said, "Xu Yuan, why didn't you let me know when you came to the Shen Mansion? Have you had dinner? If not, why don't you accompany me for dinner?"

Xu Yuan stood up and said politely, "Grandmaster, Xu Yuan has already eaten. If you haven't eaten yet, you may as well eat with Master Shen."

Hearing this, Shen Yijie glared at Shen Yichuan fiercely and said, "He can't tell good from evil. He should be hungry no matter what he eats."

Xu Yuan and Bei Yao could not respond, they could only smile and nod without saying anything.

When leaving the Shen Mansion, Xu Yuan felt a little dazed when he heard Shen Yijie still scolding Shen Yichuan.

This is the best relationship in the world.

Harmony and harmony.

It is precisely because of such a good growth environment that Shen Yichuan, the number one young master in the capital, emerged.

Seeing Xu Yuan's thoughtful look, Bei Yao asked, "Did you think of your father when you saw Master Shen?"

Xu Yuan shook his head and said, "I just suddenly thought that if there was no Shen Mansion, there would be no First Master Shen Yichuan. I hope that Master Shen will understand the good intentions of Grand Tutor Shen from today on."

"Ji Huai was born smart. He started learning at the age of three and could write poems at the age of five. He also has an excellent appearance. Although there are many elders in the mansion, they are all elegant. Now there are countless women who want to get engaged to the Shen family."

Hearing these words, Xu Yuan agreed very much.

"That's right. Moreover, Master Shen has a bright future. If he doesn't become a marquis or a prime minister in the future, he will definitely be the emperor's teacher. I just don't know which girl will be so lucky to marry into the Shen family."

Although he was the one who started the conversation, Bei Yao still felt unhappy when he heard Xu Yuan also praising Shen Yichuan.

He said quietly, "Those who can marry into the Shen family must be from a noble family, and they also need the Queen Mother's approval. The Queen Mother would not look down upon ordinary women."

"That's right." Xu Yuan nodded, and suddenly remembered what Shen Yichuan said that day. She couldn't help but ask, "So what do you think of the Qi family?"

"Qi Shengzhu?"

"Ah."

"Too smart, the Empress Dowager won't like it."

"Why? I think Miss Qi is pretty good, brave and resourceful, and her status and family background can match that of Master Shen, so why not?"

I don't quite understand what I mean by making a wish.

She only knows that if she likes someone, she should try her best to fight for him.

If you marry someone you don't love, you will never be happy for the rest of your life.

"I don't know either. Ji Huai is good in everything except one thing, which is that he cares too much about his family's opinions. Master Shen told him not to enter the court, so he didn't take the national exam. For the sake of his family, he can even give up his future. In his heart, love, perhaps, is not important."

Xu Yuan was suddenly stunned.

Before she could open her mouth, Beiyao spoke again.

"Sometimes I feel that he and I should switch places. He should be the prince, and I should be the cool and handsome Shen Yichuan. But one's origin cannot be changed."

Xu Yuan was silent for a moment, thinking of the question Xie Xiaocheng had asked, and asked Bei Yao: "What about you? Have you ever thought about what you want to do?"

"I don't know. Sometimes I want to travel the world, and sometimes I want to have unlimited power. Maybe I don't have either one, so I envy them both. But if I really get one of them, I will regret not choosing the other."

"I know, you have too many choices, so it's hard to make a decision." After Xu Yuan finished speaking, he sighed softly and said, "I wish I could be like you."

"Even if you are like me, your choice will be the same as it is now. You know very well what is important and what can be discarded. To be honest, if you don't enter the court in the future, I will really feel it's a pity to lose such a good minister."

Beiyao looked at Xuyuan.

Xuyuan's eyes were looking into the distance, his face expressionless and exceptionally quiet.

Beiyao suddenly remembered the time in the desert.

He grew up in the capital, and thought he was powerful enough, with many capable people around him, so he went into the desert alone.

On the first day, he was lost.

A group of people were searching for directions in the desert, but they could not reach their destination, Geshu Camp, nor could they return to Sishui County.

The desert is different from other places. No matter how far they walk, all traces of their journey will be wiped out by the wind and sand.

But he never despaired.

Then, he waited for the wish to come true.

When he first saw Xu Yuan, he thought the boy was skinny and looked malnourished. However, Xu Yuan had clear eyes and even his posture of climbing over the wall was exceptionally agile.

When Song Xiujing got into trouble, he and Shen Yichuan were both there.

I thought Xuyuan was timid and would stay away from such things, but he didn't.

She rushed in without hesitation.

Like a wild grass, fearless of fire.

So, the moment he saw Xuyuan in the desert, he was even somewhat fortunate that the person he was waiting for was Xuyuan.

If it were someone else, they might not be able to get out, but making a wish would definitely lead them out.

I have always been determined to make a wish. Even if there is no way, I will work hard to create a way.

People like this have more choices.

Unlike him, he always thinks twice before doing anything.

"It's not easy to enter the officialdom. Without opportunities and advice, I will only be an unknown minor official for my whole life. What's more, the power in the court is complicated. Without anyone to recommend me, I will be like Sun Wenjie, who has been in a position for several years and cannot be transferred. If I offend someone, it will be like Xie Xiaocheng, and it will be difficult for me to return to Beijing. Compared with these complicated things, I want to be a pure person."

After making the wish, he pursed his lips and smiled, "Some people have high aspirations, some people have wild hearts, all I want is to be free."

"That's good too." Bei Yao nodded.

As soon as he finished speaking, clusters of fireworks flew into the sky, lighting up both sides of the river.

When Xuyuan saw it, he immediately smiled and said, "Look at the fireworks!"

Fireworks are beautiful, but the smile from the heart on the face of the person making a wish is even more charming.

Bei Yao was dazed when he saw this, and it was not until Xu Yuan turned around and called him that he came to his senses and followed Xu Yuan's steps forward.

It was a bit chilly at night, but I felt particularly excited about making a wish.

She leaned on the fence, looked up at the sky and said, "It's a pity that the people in Sishui County can't afford these fireworks. I must ask Wu Shiming to expand his business to Hanzhou in the future. I also want to watch fireworks every year."

Bei Yao stopped beside Xu Yuan, looked at the place where Xu Yuan pointed, and then said: "No need to wait until later, I will have someone send it to you tomorrow, as many as you want."

Xu Yuan's smile froze when she heard that, but after a moment, she smiled again and said, "Okay, I'll wait for you then."
