Hou Fangyu snorted coldly, and shook his sleeves and walked away.

As soon as he arrived at the second floor of the building, he smelled a fragrance.

This is the unique fragrance on Xiangjun.

Hou Fangyu couldn't help but take a deep breath, feeling that he was much more energetic.

Walking to Li Xiangjun's boudoir, Hou Fangyu tidied up his clothes and pushed the door open.

Li Xiangjun was playing the piano himself, but when he saw Hou Fangyu coming, he stopped and stood up to greet him.

"Chaozong."

Hou Fangyu coughed lightly and said, "Xiangjun, I have something to tell you."

After saying that, he didn't care about Li Xiangjun's confusion and pulled her hand and said, "If I want to redeem you now and marry you with the tribute of a wife, would you like?"

The incident happened suddenly, and Li Xiangjun was also a little confused.

She and Hou Fangyu have known each other for a long time, so they are naturally in love.

But when it comes to talking about marriage, it is another matter.

Of course, Li Xiangjun wanted to marry Hou Fangyu, but she knew very well that she was a brothel woman.

It is a matter of being a scholar to visit prostitutes, but it is absurd to marry prostitutes.

Hou Fangyu's friend Mao Pijiang married Dong Xiaowan, which attracted criticism from everyone. Not to mention the uproar caused by the literary leader and Donglin leader Qian Qianyi, who was willing to marry Liu Rushi with a righteous wife, was desperate.

If Mao Pijiang has failed the provincial examination six times and is discouraged and does not care about fame and fame. Hou Fangyu is still young and has opportunities. Why not suffer from the depressed will of marrying a brothel girl to destroy her future?

Li Xiangjun loves Hou Fangyu so much, and it is precisely because of this that she cannot watch Hou Fangyu go astray.

"Chaozong, listen to my advice and first gain fame and reputation."

Unexpectedly, as soon as she said this, Hou Fangyu laughed and said, "Famous and Fame? I will never have fame and fame in my life."

He had already understood in Gao Hongtu's mansion that the reason why his father could not recover was because of the emperor.

What does the Holy Emperor have other arrangements?

It’s obviously just a lie, it’s clearly a scene for the emperor’s face!

His father had no hope of recovery, and he ridiculed the current affairs in his policy theory. It seemed that he would have no hope of becoming an official in this life.

Since that's the case, why bother to take the exam by yourself? It's just a matter of redeeming Xiangjun earlier and holding the beauty back.

Li Xiangjun felt distressed and comforted him: "Chaozong, why bother to demote yourself? With your literary talent, even if you pass the imperial examination, you can be easily captured even if you pass the imperial examination."

Hou Fangyu shook his head and said, "You don't understand Xiangjun. If you can become an official with just a scholar, then I am now a Hanlin editor. The water here is too deep and dirty, so it's fine if you don't rush."

Li Xiangjun gently stroked Hou Fangyu's cheek with her bare hands, gathered the hair scattered on his temples for him, and said softly: "Chaozong, what happened?"

Hou Fangyu trembled all over, swallowed and said hesitantly: "As long as the emperor was in power, I would never have the possibility of becoming an official again."

Li Xiangjun frowned and said, "How could this happen? Chaozong, you have never offended the son of today."

Hou Fangyu sighed, "You are confused. Although I have never offended the son of today, I have offended the late emperor. Today is the legitimate son of the late emperor, so I naturally hold a grudge against me. My father has never been able to regain his official position, so he also means to be a son of today."

Fang Yu has always trusted Xiangjunhou, so naturally he will not hide anything.

After hearing this, Li Xiangjun was silent.

If it is really as Hou Fangyu said, then his future is indeed bleak.

What a pity for this talent.

"Xiangjun, I've told you everything. Are you willing to marry me?"

Li Xiangjun is now Hou Fangyu’s last life-saving straw.

Li Xiangjun was silent for a moment and nodded.

"Of course I am willing to marry Chaozong, but..."

Seeing Li Xiangjun's face showing a look of distress, Hou Fangyu thought she was worried that she would not have enough money to redeem her body, so he hurriedly said, "You don't have to worry about redeeming your body, I've been ready for you long ago. Hey, I will redeem you tonight!"

"Don't worry about Chaozong! I'm not worried about the redemption of my body. I'm thinking about where to go after Chaozong redeems me?"

Where to go?

Hou Fangyu really never thought about this problem.

Since there is no hope for the career of the government, it is naturally meaningless to stay in Nanjing. It is better to go back to your hometown to Guide.

However, now that the entire Henan is under the rule of the Qing court, Hou Fangyu may have to go through some trouble if he wants to return home.

etc!

Hou Fangyu suddenly realized that this was a god-given opportunity.

The Qing army controlled the capital, and Henan was also considered a major force after it, forming a three-legged force with Li Zicheng in the west and the Ming Dynasty in the south.

Since it is the regime, it naturally needs to appoint officials to govern prefectures and counties.

The powerful and powerful Qing court were all Manchus, and they didn't know how to govern, so they could only rely on Han people to be local officials.

To select local officials, we can only rely on the imperial examination. If Manchus want to win people's hearts, they will definitely be able to open an imperial examination and win a scholar!

Since you can't take the imperial examination for Canny Ming, why not take the imperial examination for the Qing Dynasty?

Since you can't become an official of the remnant Ming, why not become an official of the Qing Dynasty?

With his talent in Hou Fangyu, he will definitely be valued in the north, and he will rise to the top and become a figure like Fan Wencheng!

When Hou Fangyu thought of this, he felt his blood boiling, and his already depressed will regained his energy.

Seeing Hou Fangyu's face showing joy, Li Xiangjun thought he had thought of a way out, so he asked, "Has Chaozong thought of a place to go?"

Hou Fangyu nodded slightly and said, "No, Xiangjun, I'm going to clean up and go back to my hometown Guide Mansion. You can go with me."

Li Xiangjun frowned when she heard this: "Guide Mansion? Isn't Henan occupied by Donggu now? Why did Chaozong go back to where he did?"

Hou Fangyu said disapprovingly: "What does this matter? Donglu are also humans and they also need officials to help them govern the country. Look, they will not take long to get a student in the north. I have decided to go back to my hometown earlier. If I catch up with Enke, I will go to take the exam. If I pass the exam, I can continue the exam. The palace exam..."

Hou Fangyu was having a beautiful dream, but was interrupted by Li Xiangjun and said, "Chaozong, what nonsense are you talking about? That's the Donglu! Haven't you heard that the Donglu has implemented the strategy of shaving his hair and changing clothes in the north? How can he be treated with his parents?

Hou Fangyu waved his hand disregardly: "Isn't it just shaving your hair and changing clothes? What's the big deal? I still think it's troublesome to have such a long hair. After taking a shower, I have to tie my hair again, which is better than shaving my head neatly. Besides, hair is too long and lice will easily grow, and the scalp will also itch."

Li Xiangjun was so shocked that she couldn't speak. After a long time, she took a deep breath and asked, "Do you really think so? Have you ever thought about Ling Yan's actions?"

Hou Fangyu thought for a while and said, "I will persuade my father that with his previous status, he will definitely be a high-ranking official when he goes to the Qing court."

Li Xiangjun said in grief and anger: "Although I am a woman of evil spirits, I eat rice from the Ming Dynasty and drink water from the Ming Dynasty. I will never do anything to rebel and surrender to the enemy."
