Stripped of all disguises, the two girls huddled together on a bed, head to head, whispering, taking out all the happy things, whether they had been talked about before or not, and revisiting them until they fell asleep unconsciously. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The days on the ship were muddy, day and night, eating when I woke up, and sleeping when I was sleepy, especially Zhao Jing'er, because of seasickness, I always felt sleepy and slept most of the time.

Lin Wan had a lot of things to do a few days ago, and she was nervous, so she didn't get a good night's sleep. Now when I relax, I also sleep in the dark, and I don't know the time.

When I opened my eyes, I saw that the room was pitch black, there was no light, and I could faintly see a little starlight from a small high window. A faint light shone in, and you could vaguely see the scene in the room.

There was no one on the bed opposite, and apparently Zhao Jing'er had woken up and was no longer in the room. Clean clothes are placed on the brocade stool next to the bed, and they are within reach.

Lin Wan sat up slowly, feeling a little dizzy, presumably he must have slept for too long, and after sitting for a while, Lin Wan put on his coat, walked to the table, and lit the oil lamp.

After a while, Bing'er pushed the door in, and saw that Lin Wan had already gotten up, and said happily: "Miss, you finally woke up, you must be hungry, right?" I have prepared food for you, warm it on the stove, are you going to eat here? Or are you going to eat in the hall?"

Lin Wan felt that her stomach was empty, frowned and thought for a while, and asked, "How long have I been asleep?"

Bing'er pursed her lips and smiled, and replied, "Miss, you've been asleep for almost eight hours, and it's time now." ”

Lin Wan couldn't help but wonder, and asked again, "Where has Cousin Jing gone?"

Bing'er nodded and replied, "Not only is Miss Biao in the hall, but Changfeng Gongzi and Xing Gongzi are also there, and the three of them are drinking. ”

Lin Wan stood up, nodded, and said, "Then let's go out to eat." After saying that, after a brief freshening up, he walked out of the room with Bing'er.

In the hall, Changfeng, Xing Han and Zhao Jing'er sat around the table, there were not many dishes left on the table, there were two empty wine jugs poured on the table, Changfeng was still holding a bottle in his hand, and he was pouring wine for Xing Han and Zhao Jing'er.

When Zhao Jing'er saw Lin Wan coming, she happily greeted loudly: "Wan'er, come on, come on, let's drink together." ”

When Changfeng heard this, he hurriedly stopped: "She can't drink, if she drinks, I can't afford to miss something." ”

Zhao Jing'er sighed in frustration and said, "Alas, then come over and eat the vegetables, the dishes cooked by Granny Fang are delicious!"

Lin Wan walked to the table, frowned, looked at the leftovers on the table with disgust, glanced at Zhao Jing'er, and said, "Cousin Jing, what do you want me to eat?"

Zhao Jing'er looked at the empty plate on the table, smiled, and said, "Hehe, I accidentally finished eating, and I forgot to leave it for you." ”

Lin Wan sighed heavily and said, "I know that you won't worry about me, but fortunately, Bing'er helped me keep one." ”

As she spoke, Bing'er had already walked in with a tray with a large bowl of steaming green vegetable porridge and four dishes of side dishes.

Zhao Jing'er stared at the clear, sticky, fragrant green vegetable porridge, swallowed her saliva, and said, "Wan'er, you can't finish such a big bowl, right?"

Lin Wan laughed out loud, nodded, and said, "If Cousin Jing likes it, I can give you a bowl." Then, he looked at the top of the cabin, sighed lightly, and said, "I'm not like some sisters, who only think of my sister after eating all the delicious food." ”

Zhao Jing'er blinked her big misty eyes, followed Lin Wan to look up, didn't see anything, heard Changfeng laughing secretly on the side, only then came to her senses, and said hatefully: "Wan'er, you are not big or small, dare to tease your sister?"

Lin Wan laughed and said, "Cousin Jing, how can I play tricks on you?" Come, eat a bowl of green vegetable porridge to relieve hangover. As he spoke, he filled a bowl for her with his own hands.

Zhao Jing'er looked at the fragrant green vegetable porridge in front of her, she had already forgotten what Lin Wan had just said, and picked up the white porcelain spoon with a smile and ate it.

Changfeng and Xing Han raised their glasses and drank each other, guessing the ranking of the autumn trial list ten days later.

The emperor attaches great importance to this year's autumn examination, but for various reasons, the number of participants is not as large as in previous years. Many famous talents and children of prestigious families did not come to participate, especially the students of Jiangnan Academy, who came very little this year, and all of them were young students who were eleven or twelve years old, and they had little chance of passing the exam, just to try the examination room.

Besides, at such a young age, even if you pass the top three in the exam, you can't enter the court as an official, and no one in the court can use it.

In this regard, Zhou Changan was very dissatisfied with Jiangnan Academy, and summoned Qiu Ming to the palace to explain the matter, why did Jiangnan Academy not cultivate suitable talents for the imperial court this year?

Qiu Ming's explanation is: "Your Majesty, Jiangnan Academy has indeed focused on cultivating younger students in recent years, mainly for long-term planning. In recent years, the imperial court has been selecting talents every year, but it has not selected particularly outstanding talents, and Jiangnan Academy is also deeply guilty. Therefore, Jiangnan Academy has recruited some younger students and trained them for a few more years, so that they can better contribute to the country in the future and display their talents and wisdom. ”

Zhou Changan listened to Qiu Ming's explanation, and couldn't say anything to blame, but he refused to let him go like this, and said in a deep voice: "In this case, Mr. Qiu will stay and help me, until you Jiangnan Academy little talents can enter the court as officials, I can consider letting you go to freedom." ”

Qiu Ming didn't dare to refuse, and said: "Your Majesty, although the grass people are unwilling to enter the court as officials, the emperor can summon the grass people into the palace at any time to share the worries of His Majesty. ”

Zhou Changan pondered for a long time, nodded, and said: "Since Mr. Qiu is unwilling to enter the court as an official, then I will give you to walk in front of the palace, and you can enter the palace at any time to accompany you, accompany me to review and review, and give advice to me." ”

Qiu Ming hurriedly lifted his robe, knelt respectfully in front of Zhou Changan, and kowtowed to thank him.

After that, Zhou Chang'an asked Qiu Ming to enter the palace every once in a while to discuss political affairs. Even the test papers of this autumn exam were reviewed by Qiu Ming.

A few days later, it happened that the military salary and military rations transported by Liu Jinfeng were lost, and the emperor ordered Liu Qingyuan to deal with the aftermath. And the errand of the chief examiner of Liu Qingyuan's autumn examination was handed over to Lin Zhihuai, the right prime minister, and supervised and assisted by Mr. Qiu Ming.

Therefore, Changfeng believes that the results of this year's autumn examination are still worth looking forward to.

Xing Han is now also a protégé of Lin Zhihuai, and he is a senior apprentice of the son of Northern Qi, and his talent is not inferior to last year's champion of liberal arts, Su Ziran. Looking at this year's autumn exam candidates, no one can stand out.
