Ling Shi laughed angrily, "I really don't know how to say hello!"

"Mother, what my sister said is not unreasonable. Cui Jing thought about it carefully, isn't it just pretending?

"Pretending to be what?" Ling sighed with some disappointment, "Neither of you will let me worry. I want you to be quiet and gentle, then you have to open your heart, if you hold back your stomach and endure it, you will still hurt yourself in the end. The noble girl's style is important, but you are my daughter, if you are really not that big person, it is better to be temperamental, and it is important to be comfortable. ”

A virtuous and elegant woman will never let herself appear to be ugly and wolf-like, this is her temperament. What exudes from the inside out is called temperament.

Ling had observed her two daughters for so long, and she was more worried about Cui Jing than she was.

Although Cui Ning's appearance is unsatisfactory in all aspects, Ling can see that she is an open-minded child and can see more clearly, but Cui Jing is a dignified and elegant standard noblewoman, but she is actually a little arrogant, and like her father, she is easy to drill the horns.

But this kind of thing, even if it is said and Cui Jing understands all kinds of truths, I am afraid that it will not play much role.

In terms of temperament, Cui Ning is actually more suitable for Ling Ce, but ...... If Ling only talked about "heart" with her mother's family, she would probably be scolded half to death by her mother.

"Jing'er, your ability is enough to be the wife of the sect, the important thing is to be open to everything, mother wants you to be happy. Ling said.

"Mother, I understand. Cui Jing smiled, and there was no melancholy on his face.

Cui Ning raised her cheeks and said, "People are born with their own causes, let everything be fate, sister, don't worry." If my cousin is admitted, everyone will be happy, and if he can't pass the exam, he won't be able to pass the exam, and if the Ling family doesn't have this champion today, he will be defeated tomorrow? Besides, the imperial court doesn't stipulate that only the champion can be the prime minister?"

Ling Shi was slightly startled, and looked at Cui Ning's gaze with a little more approval, "Ning Er looked confused, but she understood it very well in her heart. ”

"I don't look confused!" Cui Ning said dissatisfied.

Ling smiled, "Yes, yes." You're not confused. It's all over the face that says smart and smart!"

Cui Ning continued, "My sister hasn't eaten much these days, so she must be hungry now, right? The almond milk soup made by the cook at home is delicious." Mother, hurry up and have someone make it for my sister. ”

"I think you want to eat, right?" Ling said, turning his head and telling the maid to go and ask the small kitchen to make some side dishes.

After a while, the meal came up.

Because it's not a meal, it's just some pastries, porridge and other things.

Cui Ning doesn't pick. Immersed in eating, Cui Jing ate a small bowl of porridge and put down his chopsticks.

The imperial examination of the Ming Jing and the Jinshi have all been examined.

I waited for four or five days. I heard someone on the street shouting to unveil the list.

Cui Ning pulled Cui Kuang and ran over to look at the list with the little guy.

The two sisters and brothers sat in the car, and when there was still some distance left, the carriage could no longer move, and the water in front of them was impassable, and they only listened to the noise of people. Some laughed and some cried.

They had no choice but to get out of the car and sit in a nearby teahouse, so that the little guy could squeeze in to see the results.

The teahouse is also overcrowded, and there are no private rooms. I finally found a place in the corner and sat down, and I heard the sound of gongs and drums beating outside. A man shouted loudly, "Jiangzuo Xie Ziqing has won the leader! Jiangzuo Xie Ziqing has won the leader!"

Cui Ning was stunned and asked Cui Qian, "Cousin can't be the champion?"

"Not necessarily, but I don't think there's a chance. Cui said regretfully.

"That'...... My sister knows how disappointed she is. Cui Ning said worriedly.

Cui Guan warned her, "You must never say this in front of your cousin." ”

"I know, isn't it just you and me here?" Even Cui Ning felt a little sad in her heart, you can imagine how Cui Jing would feel when she heard the news? And Ling Ce, how would he feel?

Cui Kuang saw that she had no smile, so he said, "Victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, and you can do something with your face." ”

"If you don't win the championship, I'm still smiling like a flower, would you like to?" Cui Ning was not so sad and disappointed, but felt that he shouldn't be happy.

"You won't have that chance!" Cui snorted.

"Phew. ”

Cui Guo glared at her, "Where have you learned your etiquette!"

"Hmph!" Cui Ning turned his head and ignored him.

After drinking half a cup of tea, the Cui family's little servant ran in and reported, "Lang Jun won the second." ”

"And that's to be expected. Cui Guo asked, "What about Chen Zhi in Shuzhong?"

Xiao Wu said, "Chen Langjun was not admitted to the science department, but he was admitted to the Ming Calculation and History courses, and he won the first place. ”

Cui Ning frowned and rubbed her fleshy face, "This time the list is hanging." ”

Even if the imperial court no longer attaches importance to Ming Calculation and Shi Ke, Chen Zhina is also the leader of the double department, which makes him a strong contender for the top spot, and he may even compete with Xie Yang for the top prize.

"If Brother Wei or Brother Fu take the exam this year, it will be wonderful. Cui smacked his lips, "Go back." ”

Cui Ning followed behind him and asked in a low voice, "Listen to what you mean, my cousin is not as good as Brother Fu and Fifth Brother?"

"The whole Chang'an knows. Cui Kuang walked to the door of the teahouse with a small square step, glared at the high threshold hatefully, and then stepped forward with his legs raised, and then pretended to be very relaxed and continued, "My cousin is both civil and military, and he is better at the art of war, and when it comes to poetry, I'm afraid he is not as good as Brother Wei." ”

"Fifth brother can also do martial arts!" Cui Ning said.

Cui Guo paused, "Really?"

No one sued Cui Ning, but when he was in his hometown, the speed of Wei Qian's kick against Cui Ning, as well as the method of forcibly withdrawing his force, were definitely something that only people who have been practicing martial arts all year round can do. At first, Cui Ning thought that Ling Ce had kicked her, but she didn't think much about it, Ling Ce likes to collect knives, and it's not surprising that he knows martial arts, but who knows that it was Wei Qian.

Cui Ning told Cui Guo about his guess.

Cui Guo listened to it and sneered, "What do you know." ”

Cui Ning was taken aback and almost exposed, but fortunately, Cui Guo didn't doubt why she knew martial arts, but thought she was speculating.

"Still, I knew you were stupid, and I was shocked to know about it. Cui Guo glanced at her, "I really didn't expect you to be so stupid as to be able to touch the wrong room during a night attack?" ”

I didn't use any brains when I ran to the guest house, I just climbed over the wall! Cui Ning turned over very well when she was five or six years old.

The two got into the carriage, and Cui Kuang couldn't help but sigh, "Alas!"

Cui Ning tugged at the thread on the string, "Am I really stupid?"

"God, are you still unsure of such an obvious fact?" Cui Guan patted her hand pitifully and looked at her with mentally retarded eyes, "With me in the future, I won't let people bully you." ”

Cui Ning was stunned for a moment, and then shook his hand movingly, "Little brother, you are so good." ”

The two of them returned to the mansion and arrived in the Ling family's courtyard.

The family has long known the ranking.

Ling Shi was sighing for a long time, and when he saw them, he said, "Ning'er, go see your sister, try to make her happy." ”

"I'll go too. Cui said.

"Hmm. The Ling family was not disappointed, he said a lot that day, and saw that Cui Jing was also an understanding child, but after hearing the news, the whole person was stunned, and his face was pale and terrifying.

Right now, the Ling family can only try to think about the benefits, Cui Jing is now in love with Ling Ce, and he will lose his inch.

Cui Ning and Cui Jing came to Cui Jing's courtyard.

The apricot blossoms in the courtyard were blooming, pink and white, Cui Jing sat under the tree and didn't know what he was thinking, and sighed for a while.

"Sister!" Cui Ning trotted over, "We've finished reading the list." ”

"I know it all. "Cui Jingqing is not high.

Cui Jing walked over slowly and sat down beside Cui Jing, "Eldest sister is not happy?"

"It's not that I'm upset, I'm just worried about my cousin. Most of them were worried, but Cui Jing was really a little uncomfortable in his heart.

Wise and knowledgeable men are more likely to tempt women, and Cui Jing fell in love with Ling Ce at the beginning, on the one hand, because he was more dazzling than Wei Qian and Fu Yuan. His light was exposed, while Wei Qian and Fu Yuan were very restrained, and when the three of them stood together, Ling Ce was the most eye-catching.

When she suddenly discovers that Ling Ce is not as perfect as she has been sketching out in her mind for a long time, she will inevitably be disappointed.

In addition, she is now deeply in love, which makes her worry about Ling Ce excessively.

"The younger brother just said, victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers, and my cousin must also understand this truth, my sister doesn't have to worry too much about him!" Cui Ning comforted.

Cui Guan nodded, "My cousin is a man, so he won't be able to withstand this setback." ”

Cui Ning echoed, "That's right, besides, the second place is also very remarkable! The younger brother said, my cousin is good at the art of war, and that Xie Ziqing doesn't know the art of war." ”

"What do you mean by that Xie Ziqing? He's also our cousin. Cui Jing said.

Cui Ning smiled, "Hehe, my sister can still nag me, it can be seen that I am in a better mood?"

Cui Jing nodded.

"Eldest sister, it's better to be free and easy in everything. Although Cui Guan didn't know what to do as a wife, he couldn't stand it when he saw Cui Jing losing his temper for this matter, "Look at the second sister, isn't it the same way to be stupid like this? ”

"That's right. Cui Ning subconsciously agreed, and after reacting, she raised her hand and patted Cui Guo hard, "That's good, why are you involved with me!"

Cui Jing sneered, "Okay, you two, pinch when you meet." ”

"He pinched me first. Cui Ning said angrily.

Cui Kuang bared his teeth and rubbed the place that was photographed by Cui Ning, "Are you still a lady!"

"Yes!" Cui Ning put on a reserved smile.

Cui Jing smiled, "You two, are you here to persuade me, or are you here to persuade me to fight?"

The three of them talked and laughed for a while, and then went to the Ling family's house together to prepare for dinner.

The next day.

After the palace exam, the real ranking came out soon, Jiang Zuo Xie Ziqing won the champion, Ling Ce was the leader, and the strange thing was that Tanhua was not Chen Zhi, but a student of the White Crane Academy.

Everyone inquired, who knows, that Chen Zhi felt ugly, and said that he was afraid that the temple would be polluted, and the history list had not been posted before he packed up his baggage and went back to Shu.
