The Kou Mansion entertained Qiao Mo's brothers and sisters very grandly, Mrs. Xue changed her serious appearance in the past, and did not say anything with a smile on her face throughout the whole process, and the grandfather of the brother and sister, Kou Xing, and the two uncles specially took leave to celebrate him.

Qiao Wan was quite uncomfortable and pulled Qiao Mo's sleeve.

Qiao Mo quietly patted Qiao Wan's hand to appease.

Old Madam Xue smiled: "It's also a big girl in the evening." It's rare to be happy today, Qing's mother, you go and invite a few girls and brothers over, and everyone will be lively together. ”

Kou Zimo and Kou Qinglan were sitting in the garden pavilion, saying that they were enjoying the flowers, but in fact, their minds were on the matter of Qiao Mo's brothers and sisters coming over.

"Eldest sister, now you can finally see the moon when the clouds open. My cousin regained his appearance and won the Huiyuan again, and my grandfather and grandmother would definitely be happy to see it. Kou Qinglan was very happy for her sister, with a relaxed smile on her face.

Kou Zimo didn't have Kou Qinglan's happiness, but frowned slightly, and a wry smile tugged at the corner of his mouth.

"Eldest sister, why am I upset when I see you?"

Kou Zimo gently tugged at the handkerchief: "How can you be unhappy." My cousin's hard work is a great joy. ”

"Two girls, the old lady invites you to come over. A maid came over.

Kou Qinglan immediately stood up, and seeing that Kou Zimo was not moving, she stretched out her hand to pull her: "Eldest sister, let's go." ”

Kou Zimo covered his abdomen and shook his head gently: "I'm a little uncomfortable, I want to go back to the room to rest, so I won't go out to meet guests, and my sister will help me say to my grandmother." ”

"Eldest sister?" Kou Qinglan was very surprised, and looked at Kou Zimo in surprise.

No one knows better than her the eldest sister's affection for her cousin, since her cousin was disfigured, the eldest sister has not slept well for a day, this time the cousin regained her appearance and returned to Beijing, and the eldest sister, who has always been calm, pulled her to get drunk, and waited until the cousin took the next exam, and the eldest sister prayed every day, looking forward to her cousin's high school.

What's wrong with the eldest sister now?

"Qinglan, I'm really uncomfortable, you just say to my grandmother as I say. ”

"Eldest sister, then I'll accompany you back to the room. ”

"No, the maid can accompany me, you can go quickly. ”

Kou Zimo comforted his sister and went back to the room alone, and as soon as he entered the house, he sent the maid out, closed the door, and closed his eyes painfully with his back against the door.

In the past, when her cousin was in the house, the elders guarded against thieves and prevented her from contacting her cousin, but now they asked her to meet her cousin in the past.

How could someone as smart as my cousin not understand the meaning, and what face did she have?

She and her cousin are destined to be lost in this life.

Kou Zimo slowly squatted down, covering his face with his hands and crying silently.

"What, Zimo is uncomfortable?" Old Madam Xue's eyes flashed with surprise.

Kou Qinglan glanced at Qiao Mo quickly out of the corner of her eyes, nodded and said, "Well, the eldest sister may have a wind and abdominal pain, so she can't say that she is here to see a guest." ”

Old Madam Xue frowned when she heard this: "What did this girl say, how can Mo'er be a guest, you are cousins, except for your own brothers and sisters, no one is closer than you." ”

Qiao Wan, who was sitting next to Qiao Mo, couldn't help pursing his lips when he heard it.

She is a concubine, and she really has no blood relationship with these people present, no wonder the old lady never smiled at her when she lived in Kou Mansion before.

Qiao Wan was like sitting on pins and needles, but the pride of being Qiao's family forced her to be reluctant to lower her head, and the little girl straightened her spine with a serious face.

Qiao Mo saw it in his eyes, distressed and funny, and answered: "Since the eldest cousin is uncomfortable, let her rest well." In the afternoon, Master Hou asked me to go out to meet friends, and I couldn't stay for a long time. ”

Hearing Qiao Mo say this, it was inconvenient for Kou Shangshu and the others to stay, so they sent the brother and sister back after the meal.

When drinking tea in private, Mrs. Xue's face was slightly gloomy: "What is this girl Zimo thinking, she doesn't have any eyes!"

Kou Xing gently blew the tea leaves floating on the water: "What's the hurry, Qiao Mo is still in the filial piety period at the moment, is it difficult for us to be grandfathers and grandmothers and take the initiative to mention his family affairs?

The "eldest sister" in Kou Xingze's mouth is Qiao Mo's mother, and the eldest daughter of Kou Xingze and his wife, so at this time, anyone can mention Qiao Mo's family affairs, and they can't mention half a word.

"It is precisely because it is inconvenient to mention that they are allowed to have more contact, so that it is not logical to wait for Qiao Mo to have a filial piety period. ”

Kou Xing sighed: "Qiao Mo must understand the mind of Zimo's girl, but I can't see Qiao Mo's child's mind clearly." You better don't interfere, wait until he is out of filial piety. ”

Sitting in the carriage back home, Qiao Wan breathed a sigh of relief: "It's time to go back, I still have to go horseback riding in the afternoon, and my brother-in-law has grown taller for my foal." ”

"Have you eaten enough?"

Qiao Wan blushed and shook her head: "I didn't eat enough, I don't know why I just didn't feel comfortable, and then I couldn't eat." ”

"Then let's not go back to the house first, the eldest brother will take you to Desheng Building to buy some food. ”

Qiao Wan's eyes lit up: "Okay, I want to eat roast duck." ”

At this time, Desheng Building was lively, Qiao Mo told the little maid to buy roast duck and take it back to the house to eat, and the brother and sister sat in the carriage and waited.

Qiao Wan felt bored and lifted the curtain of the car to look out.

Not far from Desheng Building is a study, two girls walked out hand in hand, one wearing a pink skirt, one wearing a blue shirt, and a maid behind her, holding a book in her arms.

"Big brother, do you know who they are?" Qiao Wan stepped out of the way and pulled Qiao Mo to look.

Qiao Mo glanced at it and then retracted his gaze, put down the car curtains, and said with a smile: "How can the eldest brother know." ”

Those two girls, the one wearing the pink skirt is Miss Zhu from the Marquis of Taining, and the one wearing the blue shirt is Miss Xu from Xu Ge's hometown, Qiao Mo has a good memory and recognizes it at a glance.

"Both of them are the vice presidents of the Fushan Society. No wonder they are famous, I came to buy roast duck, but people bought so many books. Big brother, I won't be greedy for fun in the future, and I will join the Fushan Club in a few years. ”

"Okay, work hard late and late. ”

"By the way, eldest brother, a few months ago, Sister Li was majestic at a banquet, and she won several competitions with Xijiang people, and that Miss Xu also gave her beloved guqin to Sister Li. ”

Qiao Mo's eyebrows moved slightly, and his expression became more serious: "So, Miss Xu has a good relationship with your sister Li?"

The two sides have the same position, and they are good friends with the eldest sister, so it can be seen that Miss Xu's character is the best, maybe-

When Qiao Mo thought of this, he was a little confused, and coughed lightly and stopped talking.

Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, the palace test is ushered in.

Emperor Ming Kangdi held a red pen in his hand and looked at the ten good scrolls in front of him.

There are three copies in the most conspicuous position, which are the top three in the examination.

Emperor Ming Kangdi hastily read them one by one, and his eyes fell on the exam paper with the word "Qiao Mo" written on it.

These ten examination papers were selected by the Minister of Marking from 300 examination papers and submitted to the Imperial Examination, and in his opinion, it was almost the same as which three were determined to be first-class, but in order to reduce the trouble, the results of the examination were the most important reference.

Qiao Mo –
