Although their hearts fluctuated, after stepping into the corridor, the three sisters were silent.

Outside the corridor, the sky is slightly overcast, the water on the lake is flowing, and the fragrance of lotus flowers comes with the wind, refreshing and fragrant.

"Your Royal Highness, I've bothered today. After walking for a while, Qin Yanwan was the first to speak, her voice was soft, and there was still a little sadness on her face.

"This is a battle that meets on a narrow road, and you can't avoid it. Qin Yanzhen said slowly, and then looked back at Qin Yanwan, the expression on her face was extremely calm: "That flower note is an extra income, and someone will question it." However, His Royal Highness is His Royal Highness after all, and he was in the Dehui Hall back then, and it is the same now. ”

Qin Yanwan laughed, as if she remembered the past many years ago, her eyes stared at the sky outside the corridor, and said softly: "The sixth sister back then...... His Royal Highness is just to give words and make arguments. From the beginning of the establishment of the family study, I knew that His Highness was by no means an extraordinary person. ”

At this point, a trace of confusion crossed her face, and she sighed: "Today's matter, after all, His Highness has been asked to take care of us. ”

"Therefore, we cannot retreat, we can only advance. Qin Yanzhen said, her voice was sonorous, but her face was still calm.

"It's just a fight. Qin Yantang, who had not spoken for a long time, said at this time, his face was still calm: "As long as we try our best to win, who will criticize?"

As soon as these words came out, Qin Yanzhen and Qin Yantang were both stunned, and immediately laughed. Qin Yanwan smiled and said, "I feel more and more now that the fifth sister is a wonderful person. ”

Qin Yanzhen didn't speak, only smiled and didn't say anything, and Qin Yantang also smiled back.

At this point, the heavy mood born from the dispute at the banquet finally faded among them.

"The Blue Lotus Banquet Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon is something that cannot be underestimated. After laughing, Qin Yanwan said again, her tone was much more relaxed than Fang Cai.

Qin Yanwan asked them, "Are you two ready for the word test and drawing test in the afternoon?"

Qin Yanzhen was still silent, and Qin Yantang smiled lightly: "We all reported as much as possible, I reported three things, and the fourth sister reported four things, I'm afraid I will be busy in the past two days." It's just that if we talk about the paintings and books in the next day, I'm afraid we still have to look at the second sister, but we can't do it. ”

Qin Yanwan shook her head when she heard this, and said calmly: "My painting is not the best, it is just graffiti in the eyes of the Fang family." In my opinion, we should focus on tomorrow's 'mountain and sea trial'. We both love to read miscellaneous books, and in the past two years, Tao Fuzi has mentioned it, and I am still a little sure. ”

The so-called "mountain and sea test" is to test the knowledge of geography and mountains, and you need to read more miscellaneous books.

Qin Yanzhen pondered for a while, and then said: "Compared with the 'Mountain and Sea Test', I am more interested in the 'Discussion Test' at the end of today, and I don't know what topics will be offered?"

The "Argument Test" is a comparison of eloquence, and the girls have to type the manuscript and dictate the essay on the spot according to the questions given by the ladies on the spot, which is a bit like the "Qing Talk" in the "Wendao Qing Talk" when the scholar passes the county council or the county council.

Expressing one's own opinions and expressing one's mind with meaning is the original intention of 'Examining'.

Qin Yantang laughed when he heard this, and said: "I can't compare to the two sisters, I'm not good at these, only 'incense test', I can barely give it a try." I hope I can get a good result. ”

The "incense test", as the name suggests, is the incense, and the judges will also ask the test takers to put together the incense that meets the meaning of the question, and must also make a brief statement.

Speaking of which, the various competitions of the Qinglian Banquet are very complicated, including almost everything of the scholars and women, and even the competitions of raising flowers and distinguishing grasses, and recognizing treasures and ancient times.

While a few people were talking, the corridor came to an end, and when they turned the corner, there was a narrow road, and Boiling Snow Zhai was at the end of the road.

A few people were not in a hurry, and while discussing the next competition softly, they walked forward. When she was halfway there, Qin Yanwan felt something, and looked up, but saw a shadow suddenly flashing by the door of the Xuezhai in the distance, looking like a palace man in green.

Qin Yanwan's heart skipped a beat, and she looked at it again, but she only saw the shadow of the high wall and the green bricks of the Zhumen, and the figure was gone.

"Shall we go over later?" Qin Yantang's voice sounded softly, and her footsteps had already stopped.

Qin Yanwan turned her head to look to the side, as if she was looking at the vines hanging under the high wall, and asked softly, "Fifth sister has also seen it?"

Qin Yantang nodded, and Qin Yanzhen said "um", and said lightly: "It seems to be a palace person." ”

Qin Yanwan frowned.

It's not surprising that there is a palace person in this place, but that palace person is sneaky, which is very suspicious.

The three sisters were discussing in a low voice, and the half-hidden courtyard was opened from the inside, and a slender figure appeared by the door, beautiful and beautiful, but it was the eldest lady of the Gu family - Gu Chengcheng.

As soon as she went out, she immediately saw the sisters of the Qin family, and her face showed a little shame and three points of surprise, and she bowed timidly, and then stood by the door, not going in or out of the ground, and she didn't know what to do.

Qin Yanwan and the others saw it, and since they returned the salute from afar, Qin Yanzhen said softly: "Go over, it's not natural to leave at this time." ”

Qin Yanwan let out an "um" and walked forward first.

When Gu Qingcheng saw them coming, he kept smiling at them, the smile was very close, and when they got closer, she said in a slow voice: "I heard people say that there is a courtyard gate in this Wind Garden that is connected to the library pavilion, and there are many books there. I'd like to go over and see, would anyone be willing to go?"

Qin Yanwan smiled back at her, and out of the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of an unnatural dark green hidden between the gaps in the courtyard door behind her.

The miscellaneous servants in the imperial city all wore this dark green palace costume.

She immediately remembered the words from Ah Li, and she already had a certain number in her heart, so she responded without hesitation, and said with a smile: "We have also heard what people have said, but we only hate not knowing the way, it turns out that Mrs. Gu knows." ”

Gu Tingcheng smiled a little unnaturally, and said, "That...... I've just heard from people. Saying that, she showed a yearning on her face again, stepped forward and grabbed Qin Yanwan's arm, and said with a smile: "Since everyone is willing to go, then let's go and take a look, okay?" I heard that there are many people who go to the library to find books every year, and I am afraid that I will go late, and the good books will be snatched away." ”

Her expression when she spoke was quite normal, but her eyes were always drifting behind her, and there was panic on her face from time to time.

Qin Yanwan knew what she was doing, and she didn't break it, but said with a smile: "I went to the library to borrow books to see the courtyard card, did you bring it?"
