The shopkeeper originally wanted to wait for a good price to sell. When he heard Bai Xianyu’s words, he immediately grinned and said, “Alright, alright, alright. Miss is a straightforward person, so I won’t dawdle anymore. These banknotes are more than enough to buy the White Horse Post. Some of the shop assistants and the people in the kitchen are servants who have signed death contracts. I’ll bring Miss to identify them later.”
Bai Xianyu nodded. It was better to have a shortage than too much. She wanted to find something that could help Third Brother in the future. She had to understand it first.
Moreover, since most people would stay here for a while, she might as well buy it directly so that it would be easier to find them.
As for how to find them, that was the benefit of being reborn.
She remembered who would be first in the Imperial Examination and who would be in high positions in the future.
Most of them were from poor families. To choose loyal people, one had to help them when they were down and out. When Third Brother was in danger, they could also help.
This White Horse Post would be hers in the future.
While Bai Xianyu was busy identifying people, Vermillion Bird Street was abnormally noisy.
It was for the sake of this young top scholar who was roaming the streets.
The armored guards stood in two rows. The tall young man on the horse tied his hair into a high ponytail with a gold-inlaid jade hairband. His eyes were like cold stars, his sword-like eyebrows slanted to his temples, and his nose bridge was straight. His impeccable outline was as natural and smooth as a landscape painting, and his extremely handsome face was deep and arrogant.
He was wearing a bright red robe with a white silk middle-piece inside. There was a dark golden brocade pouch tied to his waist. His long fingers held the reins. If one looked carefully, they would see a jade pendant with floral patterns hanging on it.
“He is indeed the first scholar to be ranked first of all six levels in the history of our Great Kui! A person like the Young Marquis should be so dazzling!”
“He’s going to enter the Hanlin Academy soon, right? ‘Enter the Hanlin Academy before entering the Cabinet’. The sky is the limit for Xie Xingyun’s future.”
“His looks can really seduce a person’s soul.”
“I often hear all of you mention the top scorer of all six levels. What are these six levels?”
An oil seller came over to listen to the commotion.
A woman held a flower and looked at the young man sitting on the horse with a smile.
“You don’t know this, right? The one that scores first place in the county examination, prefecture examination, and academy examination is the Anshou. The ones that score the first place in the village examination, the metropolitan examination, and the palace examination are known respectively as the Jieyuan, Huiyuan, and Zhuangyuan. They are collectively called the “Six Yuan.”
“He won first place in the county examination, prefecture examination, the academy examination, the village examination, the metropolitan examination, and the palace examination. He was called the Six Yuan Top Scholar.
“Xie Xingyun is the Six Yuan Top Scholar!”
The oil seller only knew that the neighbor’s son had passed the elementary scholar examination at the age of 14. The family was so happy that they did not sleep the entire night. This Young Marquis did not look old, but he was already the number one scholar in everything. He could not help but be shocked.
When they arrived at Qionglin Garden, Xie Xingyun got off the horse. Many bureaucrats cupped their fists and congratulated him.
The corners of his lips were curled up, but it did not make anyone think he was happy.
Bai Jingyuan also stood in Qionglin Garden. He looked up at him before retracting his gaze and walking in.
He had once thought about what it would be like for Little Yu to marry someone else.
He had never had a specific image in mind. He only felt that he had to be a person that ordinary people could not compare to, a person who was astonishing and indomitable.
His Little Yu was at the right age, so she had to be matched with a handsome, heroic young man.
It had to be said that Xie Xingyun was the right match.
After Bai Xianyu strolled around the White Horse Post, she realized that it was actually closer to Qionglin Garden than she had imagined.
Although Qionglin Garden was a royal garden, it occupied a large area and there were no sentries in some places.
This White Horse Post could be considered to have benefited from its first owner. If not for that chancellor, it would not have been able to occupy the neighboring Feng Shui treasure land.
The waterways between the two were actually connected.
She walked towards the back door, as if she could see the birds singing and dancing on the other side if she stood on tiptoe.
Just as Bai Xianyu was about to leave, she suddenly saw a peddler carrying goods in the corner. She subconsciously frowned.
How strange.
Other peddlers had to at least let people know what they were selling. These two people wore a scarf on their face and were well dressed, but the things in their loads were tightly covered …
Bai Xianyu looked down and immediately felt a chill run down her spine!
What was inside were not some goods, but a blood-stained sword!
At this moment, that person also noticed her. Their eyes met for a moment before he drew his sword!
Bai Xianyu looked terrified and hurriedly took a step back. She shouted, “Help! Murder!”
Killing intent appeared in that person’s eyes. Bai Xianyu ran a few steps, but her embroidered shoes twisted and she fell to the ground. That person stabbed towards where she fell!
“Help!”
However, everyone was eating in the front hall of the White Horse Post currently. It was very noisy, and no one heard her cry for help.
She gritted her teeth and rolled down the slope into the river!
At noon, the spring sun made people feel warm.
Emperor Wu Xuan was sitting on the throne. He looked rather young. He was probably only in his thirties. However, his eyes were majestic and could not be looked at. During the years of his rule, the Great Kui had expanded outwards and slowly encroached on the borders of the neighboring countries.
Xie Xingyun took a sip of wine and stirred the surface with his fair finger.
“Is there something on your mind, Minister Xie?”
Eldest Princess Jing An was Emperor Wu Xuan’s first younger sister. When he saw Xie Xingyun in the past, he always called him nephew.
However, they were still at the banquet, so he appeared a little distant. However, such caring words made many people sigh in their hearts.
He was indeed a noble. Even when he was in a daze, he could still attract the Emperor’s attention.
Unexpectedly, in the next moment, the Young Marquis suddenly stood up.
Emperor Wu Xuan, Li Jigeng, and Lin Xingjian, who were sitting beside him, were all shocked by this sudden action.
Xie Xingyun frowned. Almost instantly, he lifted his clothes and climbed out of the wall.
“Excuse me.”
The banquet was so frighteningly quiet that no one dared to make a sound.
Until Emperor Wu Xuan said with a slightly dark expression, “Jingyuan, bring some men to see what this kid is doing.”
Bai Jingyuan put down his chopsticks. “Yes.”
Although people who were familiar with her liked to call her Little Yu (fish), Bai Xianyu’s swimming skills were not good. It could even be said to be extremely bad. This was because her body constitution had been cold since she was young, and she had never got into water.
She had rolled straight down, directly into the water. It would have been better if there were some aquatic plants for her to grab herself to, but there were none.
The two of them refused to let her go and jumped into the water. The swords in their hands reflected white light.
Bai Xianyu felt a little nauseous. When she shouted for help, she accidentally choked on two mouthfuls of water.
Her body became heavier and heavier. She coughed repeatedly, desperately trying to get away and escape with all her might.
However, the water here was deep. Bai Xianyu plopped twice and lost her strength. Seeing that the bad guys were getting closer and closer, she blinked in despair.
Was she going to die just like that?
There were still many things she wanted to do.
Bai Xianyu’s eyes gradually became firm. Even if she were to die, she would drag someone down with her.
She swam fervently towards the bottom of the water..
