Chapter 060 Hug him now!
Xia Yuan: ...
What? I am a cat myself, and you gave my brother a kitten!
Sorry, he has a cat!!
Also, my brother is a big cat himself!
A big cat raising a kitten? It sounds fine, but...
Xia Yuan felt sad.
This cat is very cute.
Purer than yourself.
White.
pure white.
Although it looks a bit pitiful, it is very beautiful.
Xia Yu'an couldn't help but compare silently, is his own body more beautiful, or this one?
Finally, the conclusion is drawn: I am the best in the world!!
This meow is the best looking! Humph, who would disagree?
The kitten raised its neck proudly.
[Although you are very pretty, I am prettier. ]
【Cats are the prettiest! 】
【Meow is the queen, shining with confidence! 】
[What? A male? A male one too... I'll just be a prince despite the difficulties!]
The kitten secretly glanced at his brother.
What is your brother's attitude?
Xia Silan listened to his youngest son's inner thoughts and watched his little movements, and he was almost bursting with cuteness.
He smiled and reached out to touch Xia Yu'an's head.
"Just stay."
Take the cat.
Although it was sent by Qin Qinglian, the cat was injured and obviously malnourished.
It was dirty, covered in mud, and not very smooth.
This was exactly what Xia Yu'an wanted. As a young doctor, he still wanted to check on the cat.
She took the cat from her brother's arms and said coldly, "Then we'll leave."
I touched the kitten's head, it was smooth and comfortable to the touch.
"Be good, we'll check you out when we get back."
Although I don't like that woman very much, the cat is right.
How can you just watch someone die without helping?
In the carriage, Xia Silan hugged Xia Yu'an, and Xia Yu'an hugged the kitten.
Gently stroking the kitten's fur, I could never have imagined that such a poor kitten would be used as a tool in palace struggles by that woman.
No...house fight?
What's the struggle to get your brother's attention?
Xia Yu'an didn't know, but she felt vaguely uncomfortable in her heart.
It’s strange. My brother and I are not a real couple, so why should I feel uncomfortable?
The kitten couldn't figure it out either.
Maybe, yes, I don’t want my brother to go astray!
I don’t want the third brother to have anything to do with that woman again and follow the path of the original novel.
Oh, brother, I don’t think you know yet…
"Brother, that woman..."
"rest assured."
"Huh?" I didn't say anything yet!
Xia Silan raised his hand and stroked the kitten's hair. "Although you didn't say anything, your heart spoke loudly every day and you said everything, baby."
My brother knows that the woman is a bad person and will bully him in the future. It will not end well. My brother knows it all.
"Brother won't."
Moreover...even if...
That woman really just liked him and had no other thoughts, so he would not marry her.
Marry only one person in this life.
Who it was became clear the moment the army returned to the capital.
Xia Silan lowered his phoenix tail slightly, and lowered the pool of spring water in his eyes.
"Ah." Since that won't happen, I can rest assured!
I believe that the third brother knows his limits!
Xia Yuan stroked the kitten and said, "This kitten's fur is not as dry as I imagined. It must have had some good days..."
So, it remains to be seen whether this cat was picked up in the hunt!
How could a cat suddenly run out of a tent in such a desolate wilderness full of wild beasts?
He must have been starved on purpose!!
Then lied about being a wild cat!
That's too much.
But there is no evidence, so I can't say anything.
Xia Yuan carefully lifted the cat's fur and found a wound.
I checked the cat's skin slowly, inch by inch, and went back to apply medicine.
.
In the study, Xia Yu'an and Xia Silan each sat at a desk, preparing for the systems of civil and military examinations.
Well, there are many things to consider with the new law!
Even though the civil servants below him helped with writing it and the Ministry of Rites also helped a lot, it still needed to be reviewed by himself.
After all, he was the only one who had taken the college entrance examination! When he was in Xingjie, he had also taken a serious exam before entering school.
In addition, we will also release several sets of books on numbers, physics, alchemy...
Yes, the chemistry here is called alchemy.
For example, dynamite is a form of alchemy.
There are still talented people in the Ministry of Industry, so Xia Yu'an handed this part of the questions to the Ministry of Industry.
"Ah——" The kitten stretched out his body, feeling tired.
Look in the direction of my brother.
My brother just happened to turn around, saw what was happening, walked over, and gently massaged the kitten's shoulders.
"Are you tired?"
"Yeah, so tired, ah, so comfortable! Here, a little deeper!" Xia Yu'an squinted his eyes comfortably.
Who knows the joy of being rubbed by a beautiful woman?
That feeling of brother's kindness comes back again!
Wuwu is handsome, gentle and homely. Where can you find such a man?
Blessed is he who marries his elder brother.
Hey, isn't that you?
The kitten is dizzy.
.
After the system was changed, it had to be tested, so in addition to the official examination papers, Xia Yu'an also asked the Hanlin Academy to produce some practice questions for everyone to review and practice.
Students who pass the imperial examination and go to Beijing to take the exam can go to the Hanlin Academy to take mock exams if they want to practice.
Today's big model is over, Xia Yu'an came to the Hanlin Academy for "inspection".
Several people were having a heated discussion.
"It's so difficult, this 'science' problem is not something a human can solve!"
"I think it's okay. For example, the answer to this question is three hundred and fifty-seven acres..." said a young man in simple clothes weakly.
"Nonsense, it's obviously Qi Qing!..."
"I didn't get it right at all. There's no solution to this problem! The examiner must have made a mistake!"
"That's right, what are you talking about, Shuang'er? How can you let only Shuang'er take such an important exam?"
"I heard that they were both stupid kids! Nonsense!!"
"Hush, you're asking for your life! This is His Majesty's order! No matter how dissatisfied you are, you can..."
"I was just wondering what happened. I heard that Shuang'er is useless. Apart from her beauty, which is well-known in the capital and has made the prince obsessed with her, there is nothing else!"
"I heard that this girl who draws eyebrows and paints eyes must be a genius in some area, so she..."
"Let him set the questions. I think he is good at the art of sex..."
"You guys..." The weak candidate showed a puzzled expression, "How can you say that..."
"These questions, these questions... they are obviously very good! You can't do them, so you slander the person who made the test paper..."
"What's wrong? No one can do this!"
Several people were fighting with each other and bullying the candidate who spoke up for Xia Yu'an.
"Cough, cough..." Xia Yu'an walked in.
[Oh my, the son of the Minister of Revenue, who is uneducated, steals things, and robs women. He originally wanted to take advantage of the old imperial examinations to get a job...]
[The youngest son of the Chancellor's family was put in solitary confinement because he committed a crime. He had hoped that this imperial examination would help him cover up the past, but unfortunately...]
【And...tsk tsk. 】
【A bunch of dandies. 】
"Who are you?" The group of people were stunned.
"The Minister of Rites is here, why don't you perform the ceremony?"
Because Xia Yu'an is a twin and has no job, he was asked to preside over the examination this time and was given the title of "Young Master".
Not to mention, he has guards around him, which makes him look quite impressive!
They are all the Jinyiwei assigned to me by my brother. They are handsome and have martial arts skills!
Wearing the red official uniform, with the waist and legs tied tightly, it is truly a sight to behold.
After these words were spoken, everyone had to bow to Xia Yu'an unwillingly.
"What happened?" Xia Yu'an asked knowingly.
He scanned the crowd and narrowed his eyes.
Well, he remembered these dudes.
"You, the question you asked is totally wrong!"
“No solution!”
"That's right, it's so difficult that even if there is a solution, no one can do it!"
“Can you do it?”
"Examiner, please do one for us!" everyone cheered.
They didn't believe that Xia Yu'an, with only two children, could cause such a huge upheaval.
By then, even the examiner won’t be able to do it, and the paper will definitely be invalid!
It would be better to go back to the old imperial examination system! How wonderful that would be! No need to study, just use connections to get into the court!
They are still young, so they can get a job first. After a few years, by then, it will be easy for them to become a third-rank official, right?
"You, you guys..." The weak-willed candidate from the country was very angry, but helpless.
He is not good at speaking and does not understand the ways of the world, so he cannot fit in with the circle of nobles.
And, also...
[It turns out that he was also a twin, and was deceived by one of the playboys. That person took his body and participated in the imperial examination with him...]
As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at the scumbag.
I just said I was going to beat someone up, and that's the one that made me happy.
Ah this... you don't want to take the exam, but you are a scumbag! ! Your character is worrying! !
In an instant, everyone was eight feet away from the people Xia Yuan had pointed out.
[This dynasty does not encourage women to enter the court and take the imperial examinations. We hope that women will return to their families and take care of their husbands and children.]
[But there is no clear legal provision that twins must not participate in the imperial examination.]
[It’s just that this is how it is done, whether in the government or in the countryside. No one sends their children to school or learn to read.]
【At most, my two children can act as teachers. 】
[Except for a minister with two children at the founding of the country, there has never been one since then. ]
"Oh, of course I can do it." Xia Yu'an said coldly.
It's that easy!
Can it be difficult for him?
There is a "blackboard" in front of the desk, and Xia Yuan picked up the white "chalk".
This "chalk" is different from modern ones. It is made of a kind of white rock and is a simple version of chalk.
But, it works.
Xia Yu'an wiped off the foam and wrote fluently on the blackboard.
In his previous life, even mechanical structures were no problem for him, let alone this simple Nine Chapters of Arithmetic!
Although it integrates knowledge of land surveying, multivariate parameters, etc., it is still simple!
Various data passed through Xia Yu'an's mind one by one, and Xia Yu'an fluently wrote out the detailed process of solving the problem.
Although Shuang'er wrote down the answer, the process was not so clear!
"This, this..."
The candidates were shocked. Is this really the Crown Prince's Consort?
A pair of daughters who married a man and had children?
Isn't he stupid and foolish?
還解題如此清晰！
一時間，衆人鴉雀無聲。
再看，只剩敬佩。
連雙兒都做得到，他們還有什麽做不到的！
再也無人對考試提出異議。
文舉改革就這麽順利通過了。
下面那個被欺負的雙兒考生激動地看着他，滿眼尊敬欽佩。
夏雨安從未看過這麽充滿崇拜和輝光的眼神。
一時間也有些滿足感。
他來到那個雙兒面前。
“你叫什麽名字？”
“袁、袁青衣。”
夏雨安握住袁青衣的手。
“你記住，不管是雙兒，女人，還是男人，都有追求自己幸福生活的權力。”
“這其中，就包括理想。”
“雙兒也可以立業，也可以入朝為政！”
“你……我真的不會因為雙兒的身份被刷嗎？”袁青衣雙眼發酸。
“當然！”
“只要你的成績合理，一定會被錄取的。”
“我們只看分數。”
夏雨安緊緊握着他的手。
“多謝！”灰衣雙兒感激涕零。
“不用感謝我，感謝你自己。”
在這個世道，身為雙兒，能把數理化學成這樣，很難吧！
除了天賦，一定得分外努力！
袁青衣感激地看着夏雨安，原來這就是世子妃，這就是他們的雙兒考官！
原來雙兒不一定非得嫁人，相夫教子，入朝為官，為社稷努力，雙兒真的可以！
袁青衣打開了新世界的大門，怪不得，才華絕塵的世子殿下一歸京，放棄所有榮華娶他，怪不得，陛下會對他青眼有加。
他也一定會努力的！！
日後如果世子、世子妃有用得着他的地方，他一定鞍前馬後！！
。
解決了考場的問題，夏雨安就被翰林院邀請過去吃飯啦。
嘿嘿，翰林院沒別的，一個個小小學院，不起眼，在朝廷中也說不上話，但就是夥食好！
哇，糯米糕，櫻桃肉，獅子頭，桂花魚……
夏雨安覺得哥哥肯定愛吃！
哥哥此刻正在武舉那邊呢！
武舉練習的場地在西武園，那裏很寬闊，有較大的校場供舉子們練習。
夏雨安提着熱騰騰食盒來的時候，場地三大五粗的武人正在抱怨。
“什麽啊，往年都是幹就完了，今年還要跳高，跳遠，跑八百……”
“就是，怎麽不打架？還要舉鐵，老子真想給對手來上一拳！”
“真雞兒累，這是人幹的活麽？”
“……”
夏雨安聽不太清，把這些當耳旁風。
各種項目都是哥哥和武官們經過多方測試定下來的，肯定有他的道理。
要是連這些都不成，還怎麽上戰場？別說當官了。
嘿嘿，找哥哥！
想到能快點見到哥哥，夏雨安激動了，小貓步伐走得飛快。
他的身影一出現，便引起了衆人側目：“诶，那個小雙兒，好好看啊……”
“聽說那是傾城絕代的世子妃，整個京城第一美……”
“四大才子還為他作過賦！”
“真雞兒好看。啧啧。”
。
夏雨安來的時候，夏司岚正在和幾個武官讨論問題，夏司岚坐在主位，側對着夏雨安，身材筆挺，眉宇英朗，說話慢條斯理卻條理清晰。
他說了什麽，幾個武官紛紛點頭附和。
“哥！”夏雨安往椅子上一跪，将食盒放在桌子上：“吃飯啦！”
“呵呵，世子殿下，有福啊！”
“還有人給送飯。”酸溜溜。
“真是伉俪情深！”
“這是翰林院的飯，那邊別的不行，就屬食堂最好吃啦！”
食盒打開，熱騰騰的湯和桂花魚的香氣就泛了出來，彌漫了整個房間，勾的人食指大動。
幾個武将開始咽口水。
夏司岚笑了一下：“一起吃。”
……
夏司岚這邊比較忙，一個下午都無暇照料夏雨安。
而夏雨安這邊則無事了，各種流程順利舉行了，其他的活都交給了翰林院。
夏柏舟便找他來玩，代替夏司岚“看孩子”。
這可是他們幺弟啊！！
幾個月不見，想了！
盡管過年和在獵場也都才見過，但那才多一會兒！
都沒好好帶幺兒玩玩了！
今日是驚蟄，京城晚上有集市，特別熱鬧。
夏柏舟和夏雨安一起，走在繁華的大街上，遭到衆人頻頻側目。
夏柏舟的樣貌簡直萬中無一，堪稱人中龍鳳。
他五官英朗，雙瞳含着天然的朝氣與親和，以及無與倫比的氣場，簡直一個天然的發光源。
前世能吸幾十億粉絲，今生也同樣，受到衆人的視線。
夏雨安走在夏柏舟身邊，覺得怪不好意思的。
啊，上輩子好像就被人誤會了，覺得自己是他小男朋友，這輩子好像……
夏柏舟牽起夏雨安的手，夜晚往來的人還挺多，別走丢。
旁邊也有一對對小情侶路過，他們這樣好像，并無不同。
不對，是兄弟這樣根本沒事！
夏雨安甩甩頭。
兩人進了一條街，這條街上有各色花燈。
“哇，好漂亮啊——”夏雨安感嘆。
“哥哥你看！”他拉拉夏柏舟的袖子，“那邊好多大貓花燈啊！”
白色的，上面還有十分威武的花紋。
“那是白虎。”夏柏舟笑着解釋：“驚蟄，有祭白虎的習俗，所以今天，白虎燈籠，格外的多。”
哇——
都是白的，夏雨安覺得，這白虎，有些像雪豹！
爸爸是白虎，哥哥是雪豹，嘿嘿，都好看！
夏柏舟從善如流地給他買了一個白虎花燈。
白虎皮，裏面配上瑩瑩的莺黃燭火，還怪好看。
夏雨安開開心心跟着哥哥去大酒樓吃飯。
這個酒樓挨着月湖，二樓接待貴客。
視野好，能夠看見湖中的風景。
“哎呀，二公子，小郡王，世子妃……”掌櫃地見了兩人點頭哈腰，十分谄媚，如今夏司岚被封了世子，夏安澤和夏柏舟也被封郡王了。
北辰榮光，一家獨大，朝廷再也沒人能匹敵。
“快，招待貴客！”
兩人被小二引至最好的房間。
上樓前夏雨安回望了一下一樓的竈臺，那裏好像有紙人，還有一盆豬血。
“那是什麽？”夏雨安靠在窗邊，邊等邊聊。
月上西樓，照亮了月湖風光。
他們底下有靠邊的游船，船上也有不少人喝酒。
沒錢來這種大酒樓的，在船上吃一頓晚餐，邊吃邊胡天說地，也是情趣。
“那個呀，不是紙人，是紙老虎，驚蟄習俗，用豬血祭白虎，吃飽了，就不能再開口傷人。”
“原來是這樣啊！”
“那我也是大老虎，我能不能吃個夠？”
“是，你也大老虎。”夏柏舟被萌的夠嗆，忍不住伸出手捏捏幺兒可愛的臉：“想吃什麽吃什麽。”
“都記我賬上！”
他堂堂北辰嫡二公子，還差這一口吃的？
恨不得把錢都給幺兒花完！
酒樓的飯菜真的很美味，每個酒樓有各自的拿手招牌，味道也重樣。
夏雨安吃的油光滿面，恨不得把舌頭吞了。
“好次！！”
“慢點。”夏柏舟伸手給他擦嘴。
然而，樓下卻傳來不和諧的聲音。
夏雨安擡頭看，他認出來了，那是今天下午在哥哥那看到的幾個舉人。
“那個腰兒，那個腿兒……”
“幹淋娘的，老子要是能娶這麽個雙兒，非得幹翻他！”
“就是，穿成那樣，勾引誰呢！”
“聽說把我們變成‘體育生’，就是他的意思！”
“聽說這小雙兒啊，那方面需求特別強，肯定成天勾引世子殿下嘿嘿，嘿嘿嘿……”
“啧啧，真想感受一下。”
“感受是不行了，要是親眼看看……”
夏柏舟聽得心頭火氣，掄起拳頭就要上。
“唉哥哥，算了算了……”
直接下船去打人，這樣不好。
“哼，你等着。”夏柏舟出去，給店家要了一盆豬血。
大貓小貓一對眼，皆露出心照不宣的表情。
嘿～嘿～！
夏柏舟一手端着豬血盆子，一手攬着幺兒的腰，帶他從窗戶跳上了房頂。
哥哥輕功還真不賴！小貓眼神交流。
那是！這算什麽，哥哥聽力也不賴！
武功更不賴！
兩人趴在房梁上，扒着瓦片。
底下那群人還在胡說八道。
“那雙兒啊……似乎叫夏雨安……啧啧……”
噗。
“啊啊——”
“這什麽東西，什麽東西扣我一身！怎麽這麽腥！”
“這是豬血！啊嗷嗷，我也被淋了！救命，看不清了！”
“這一定是白虎之神降下的懲罰！”
沒錯，我就是掌管正義的神！
夏雨安順手扣了幾個瓦片，丢在那幾人頭上。
西武院。
夏司岚還在挑燈寫案宗，進行今天最後的陳述總結。
他派去暗中保護夏雨安的人從窗戶翻進來，在夏司岚面前單膝跪下：“主上。”
“嗯。”夏司岚點點頭，輕應一聲。
“他玩得可開心？”
暗衛把事情經過詳述一番，什麽瓦片，豬血，都說了一遍。
夏司岚：“……”
“都有哪幾個人？”
“……”
“知道了。”“下去吧。”
“是！”
。
夏雨安和二哥玩得很晚。
大約亥時了，夏柏舟才送他回來。
宮門早就落鑰了，夏雨安吐吐舌頭，從小門溜了進來。
啊……都快子時了，從來沒有嗨這麽晚過，不過，哥哥知道的，哥哥應該不會生氣吧！
When I returned to Linxi Courtyard, Xia Silan was unexpectedly still awake.
He was sitting in the yard, in a wheelchair, holding the rescued little white cat and stroking it slowly.
Looking very comfortable.
There was a table in front of me, with a parrot cage, a fruit plate and some drinks on it.
After Xia Yu'an's care, the little white cat's fur has become shiny, moisturized, and no longer dirty. It looks very beautiful after cleaning.
Xia Yu'an has never seen her brother petting another cat like this!
Awooo! Meow!
Xia Yu'an got so angry that he also turned into a cat!
Hey, can I really change?
Fortunately, the servants were not outside! They didn’t see it!
Xia Yu'an looked at the cat in her brother's arms, and her brother was petting it with a smile!
The kitten was so angry that he jumped onto the corner of the table, stretched out his claws, and grabbed the parrot in the cage.
While twisting, he looked back.
The parrot jumped left and right, screaming: "Come on, hug him! Come on, hug him!"
"He's breaking!"
"Bullying a parrot is nothing!"
