When Ming returned to her room, she found that Ying Wan was waiting in her room with her big girl, Jin Dong.

Ying Wan showed a sad face that she didn't have in the past, she couldn't hide her words, she didn't need to ask anything, she said it herself.

Sure enough, it was said by Luo Bao's "there will be trouble"!

Qin Dong, the steward of the outer courtyard of Prince Kang's mansion, did have a son, but he fell ill two years ago.

Therefore, the person who claimed to be the son of Qin Steward and gave his brother Xiuqi the champion cake......

"No wonder...... Mama was so angry. He lowered his head and bit his lip.

Ying Wan's face was full of worry, "Since he is not Qin Dong's son, then who is that person?" Since he is pretending to be the son of the steward of the outer courtyard of Prince Kang's mansion, I am afraid that he has good intentions. ”

Although Ying Wan is young and naïve, she is not a fool, even she knows that something is wrong with this matter, let alone the old county lord?

He sighed: "If it is an outsider, how would you know that there is a steward surnamed Qin in Prince Kang's Mansion?" - not to mention what Ju Xingzhou said, that person was indeed wearing the clothes of a servant of Prince Kang's Mansion that day.

Ying Wan couldn't help but be surprised, "It's not an outsider, what does the second sister mean--is it that my cousin wants to kill my brother?!"

Hao Ming smiled bitterly, "I'm afraid it's almost gone." "I'm afraid it's more likely to be the daughter-in-law of the Borzigit clan, Ma Jia's, indeed, there is no one who hates Humming more than Ma Jia's. Xiu Qi is the hope of the Nalan clan, and how could he not be the honor guard of the sisters in the second half of their lives, compared to the future husband, this brother is indeed more reliable. ruined Xiuqi's future, which is revenge on Mingming in disguise.

Autumn is only once in three years, and how many three years can be delayed in this life?

This prayer came with hope and went away with darkness after all.

The next day was the third day of the autumn festival.

The third strategy exam will not end until ten o'clock in the evening, during which no matter what happens inside, the scholar will not be allowed to come out, and even if he dies inside, he will not be able to carry the body out until the end of the exam.

Hao Ming didn't dare to expect Xiu Qi to be able to win the lift at this moment, he only hoped that he would come out safe and sound.

It doesn't matter if you fall off the list this time, as long as you live, you still have a chance.

As soon as the old county lord returned to the Shilang Mansion, he sent Xingzhou and a few other servants to drive the carriage to wait outside the Gongyuan, and the Shilang Mansion had already asked the small kitchen to boil ginseng soup, and the doctor had already invited him in advance, just waiting for Xiu Qi to come back, or to be carried back.

It seems that the old county lord has also made bad plans and preparations. She naturally didn't believe that the champion cake sent in the name of the son of the steward of King Kang's Mansion would really be just an ordinary champion cake.

Naturally, the old county lord still had a trace of luxury, hoping that his grandson would not eat the champion cake, after all, the food she prepared was very sufficient.

However, this extravagant hope of the old county lord was disappointed.

At sunset, the carriage returned with Xiuqi.

It was Xingzhou who ran into the Shilang Mansion with Xiuqi on his back, and suddenly the entire Shilang Mansion became anxious.

Fortunately, the doctor was prepared, went up to take a pulse, and checked the tongue coating and fundus of the eyes, and the doctor said: "Your son should have been drugged strongly." ”

Hearing this, Ming Ming breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately it was only a drug, not a poison!!

The doctor pricked down a few needles, and Xiu Qi woke up quietly.

Xiu Qi only raised his eyes to look at the people in the room, and suddenly the whole person froze, his hands trembled slightly, his lips trembled, he suddenly turned over, rolled off the bed, and knelt at the feet of the old county lord, "Mama, I-" The words were instantly choked, and he was speechless.

The old county lord was suddenly distressed, and hurriedly helped his grandson up, "Brother Qi is still young, there will be a next time." ”

Xiu Qi gritted his teeth fiercely, and then Shengsheng forced back the tears in his eyes, "I, I don't know what's wrong, I actually fell asleep in the examination room, my grandson has a negative grandmother, and I have a negative ancestor!" Speaking of this, Xiu Qi still cried after all.

She only felt that her eyes were moist and her cheeks were also wet, she gritted her teeth and said, "Mama, this time the matter can't just be left like that!!" - Luo Bao is right, if you don't cut the grass and eradicate the roots, there will be troubles! Now she has tasted the bitter fruits of the troubles! At this moment, she only hates in her heart why she didn't just kill Ma Jia's family at that time!

Xiu Qi was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly looked at his second sister: "Ning'er, what do you mean by this?"

Hao Ming stared at the young brother, "Brother suddenly fell asleep in the middle of the day, don't you think it's strange?"

Xiu Qi was stunned, and suddenly he only felt a chill in his heart, and when he said this, he naturally didn't understand the trick with his cleverness, and then he said: "That box of champion cakes-"

Hao Ming hurriedly asked, "Is there any cake left?"

Xingzhou hurriedly carried a large food box with red lotus patterns engraved with the mark of King Kang's mansion, opened the lid of the box, and there were several pieces of broken champion cakes inside.

Hao Ming stepped forward and saw a thousand blessings to the old county lord, and said: "Mama, that person is not from King Kang's Mansion, but this food box is the food box of King Kang's Mansion!!"

The old county lord's face turned pale, "I naturally won't give up on this matter!!"

The old county lord turned his head and asked Xiuqi: "Brother Qi, what is your strategy ......for the last game?"

Xiu Qi lowered his head and said with a wistful expression: "My grandson ate two pieces of champion cakes, and I wanted to please him, and then I started to write a strategy, but I only wrote half of it, and I fell asleep......"

The old county lord let out a long sigh and didn't say anything more.

Ten days later, it is the day of the autumn list, every year in the autumn of Zhili Province, there are thousands of talents who participate in the exam, but only one-tenth of them can be examined, so they must be the best in the show to be able to win.

Although Xiu Qi can be regarded as one of the best and full of people, there is an unqualified policy that has not been completed, and it is naturally impossible to be lifted, which is not a reality that can be reversed by the bias of the main exam. Because the essays in the three exams have relatively strict format and word count regulations, if they do not meet the requirements, even if the previous two essays are written in a variety of flowers, they will not be successful.

When Xingzhou, who went to see the list, came back, he really looked low, and he didn't need the old county lord to ask anything, so he knew it.

Xiu Qi, this time in the exam, he fell off the list.

The old county lord sat on the red sandalwood lotus pattern throne and coldly ordered: "Take that food box and go to Prince Kang's Mansion!!! This time, I must ask Chong'an to give an explanation to Shilang's Mansion!!" -- The old county lord was angry, and he actually called Prince Kang by his name.

At the same time, on the Ilgen Jueluo Shangshu Mansion, the Manchurian examiner Ilgen Jueluo Etai looked at the three articles placed on the desk, the first one was eight strands, the rhetoric was gorgeous, the second was scriptural, and the third was a strategy...... The beginning is also very reasonable.

Etai sighed, and said in his heart, about the last day, was he unwell? Etai's gaze fell on the three articles that had been opened, all of which were "Nalan Xiuqi".

Etai suddenly smiled and ordered: "Go to the backyard and invite Mrs. to come, just say that I have something important to discuss." ”
