The days passed quickly, and the three-year filial piety period was long.

bowed deeply to Lin Qing's tablet, got up and took the incense, and inserted it in the incense burner in front of the tablet.

The young man who was thin and sick at the beginning has now become healthy and handsome, and he looks personable, and the jade tree is in the wind.

Steward Lin and the other servants of the Lin family couldn't help but reddened their eyes for a while when they looked at Lin Xi in front of them, "Young master, this is an adult, you have to support the lintel of the Lin family, and the old lady will feel at ease when she looks at it from heaven." ”

Lin Xi nodded solemnly.

"Young Master, Mother Lu is here. ”

Lin Xi walked out of the inner room with someone, and happened to see Liu's mother Lu leading a group of maids and daughters-in-law in.

When he saw Lin Xi, he immediately smiled, "Young Master Cousin, today Young Master Cousin is gone, he doesn't have to wear plain clothes, Madame has already prepared all kinds of clothes and ornaments, and in the future, I will wear them for Young Master Cousin to go out and make friends on various occasions, and the furnishings of Lanyuexuan should also be changed." ”

No matter when, Liu always does everything on the face.

"It's bothering my aunt, and Mother Lu is working hard. ”

Lin Xi thanked her, and Zhou's mother took the two girls to greet her, sent Feng Hong, and took the things.

"Young Master Cousin is joking, this is what the old slave should be, if there is anything missing here, just look for the old slave, Mrs. has already sent a message, and you must not be wronged Young Master. ”

Lin Xi smiled, the relationship between him and the Liu family has now become more subtle.

In the past three years, in the eyes of outsiders, Zhao Yuanrong is still close to the foreign family, but only the parties know that the prince really trusts this cousin, but his in-law Yongning Houfu has reached an embarrassing place.

However, the child is just small, the most annoying thing is that the prince Rui, who has been squatting in the northwest for more than two years, is completely following the direction of this wind, where Lin Xi is there, he will send generous gifts, whether it is the Yongning Hou Mansion or the Chengxi Bai Mansion, it is quite unsympathetic.

But no matter how dissatisfied she is, what can she do? Xiao Jinxin is so hateful that she can't change the mind of the prince of the holy family.

And for the entire Yongning Hou Mansion, Lin Xi's father family is almost gone, and the Yongning Hou Mansion is the only relative, as long as the general direction remains the same, Zhao Jingyi does not care about anyone who is close.

Especially now that Xiao Jinlan is married to Liang Wangfu, if she doesn't want to participate in the whirlpool of winning the heir, she needs the support of Rui Wangfu too much.

Because of this, the Yongning Marquis Mansion is more and more courteous to Lin Xi, and Lin Xi himself is also angry, and he will be able to end as soon as the filial piety period passes.

As soon as Lu's mother left on the front foot, Ren's mother came on the back foot, and she also brought a bunch of things.

"The old lady has hidden a lot of good things for the young master, and now in addition to the clothes, she can finally use them, and look, this is urging the old slave to send them over. ”

Lin Xi arched his hand and said with a smile: "My grandmother always loves me the most, and when I settle down a little, I will ask her old man to say goodbye." ”

"Isn't that what it means, the old lady is looking forward to the young master going over to talk. ”

After some more chatter, Ren's mother left satisfied.

The Yongning Marquis Mansion held a family banquet in the evening to give Lin Xi a farewell ceremony.

It was still early, and Lin Xi was talking with Mrs. Tai.

"When you're young, you should wear shiny clothes and look energetic. ”

Mrs. Tai looked at Lin Xi, who was dressed in blue embroidered edges, and her eyes showed a look of satisfaction.

"It's also my grandmother's good vision and good choice. Lin Xi smiled and complimented.

Mrs. Tai nodded and patted his arm, "In addition to clothes, you have to study more carefully, Mr. Bai said that he will let you go this year, but are you sure?"

Lin Xi said: "Recently, the teacher asked me to make a few sets of papers from previous years, and I can answer them, I dare not say that it is foolproof, but I always have a little grasp." ”

Mrs. Tai softened her eyes with satisfaction, "That's already excellent, Xi'er will definitely be able to win, if it is a talent who can take the exam, my grandmother will definitely choose a lady for you." ”

As soon as Lin Xi bent his eyes, the smile on the corner of his mouth stiffened.

That's too low.

I can only bite the bullet and say, "...... It's just a showman, there are several jinshi in the capital when a brick is smashed, so you have to wait for your grandson to be admitted to the talent ladder, right?"

Mrs. Tai looked at Lin Xi's stammering appearance, laughed, and glanced at him, "Don't worry, my grandmother has already seen a few families, and many girls are good, and the other party also has that meaning." You just studied seriously for three years to be able to take the Xiucai exam, such a family background as ours, it is only a matter of time before people become scholars, they are all smart people, where can I find someone with such a good character as my grandson?"

You think so much of yourself.

"Grandmother really doesn't have to bother so much, Xi'er wants to start a business first, and ...... Not planning to start a family. ”

"Nonsense! Men have always started a family first and then started a business, is it possible that if you fail to pass the Jinshi examination, you will not be married for the rest of your life? The Lin family is the only one seedling you have, and spreading the branches and leaves is the top priority. ”

Mrs. Tai glared at Lin Xi with hatred, "You don't have to worry about this, just end up honestly." He frowned again, and suddenly said, "Could it be that you really ...... to Miss Lan?"

Lin Xi was immediately shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly shook his head, "My cousins are all married, don't talk nonsense!"

If you hadn't messed up with the mandarin duck spectrum at the beginning, would almost everyone know about it?

Mrs. Tai glanced at him a few times, stared at Lin Xi's innocent eyes for a long time, and then reassured, and just said categorically: "Your relatives and wife will arrange it properly, and they will not wronged you." ”

There is no room for refutation, Lin Xi tugged at the corners of his mouth, thinking of Zhao Jingyi in the distance, the road ahead is full of obstacles, I don't know if His Royal Highness the Prince, who has great powers, can deal with it?

Oh, by the way, the recent reply, this person seems to be going back to the court.

At the family banquet, men and women are seated separately.

The fourth uncle, Xiao Yunxuan, is in charge of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses, which is close to the imperial front, and the news is also extremely well-informed.

"The emperor has been in a very good mood recently, the northwest has won a great victory, and after three years, it is finally coming to an end, and it is estimated that it will not be long before the prince of Rui will triumph. ”

Xiao Yuheng said: "Exactly, His Majesty has drawn up a lot of excerpts, all of which are rewarded, and this is what he said, and it is also a happy event." ”

Lin Xi already knew this, but Zhao Jingyi always didn't write the exact news in his reply, and now that he can learn from his uncle and cousin, he can't help but be happy in his heart, which means that people are indeed coming back.

Yongninghou said: "If you rush early, you will come back for the New Year." ”

On the female side, more attention is paid to the Jing'an county lord who was personally sealed by the imperial court.

Shan said: "Earlier, the Queen Mother wanted to take her back to Beijing, but the county lord has been refusing, so it has been delayed until now, and now the army has returned to the court, and it is time to come." ”

Liu sipped his handkerchief, "It's also pitiful, the Zhenxi Wangfu is dead, even the county lord is an orphan girl, and I don't know who I can rely on in the future." ”

Mrs. Tai said, "Let's watch." ”

When Lin Xi received Zhao Jingyi's reply again, the Northwest Army had already opened the Hui Dynasty, and the days were calculated, as Yongning Hou said, it could catch up with the Spring Festival.

In November, Lin Xi was gone, and the weather was already cold.

Early in the morning, the Bai Mansion was busy, sorting out clothes, especially thick cotton clothes, preparing for food, easy to hide and not easy to break, checking paper and pencils, etc., it was simply that everyone except Lin Xi was busy.

"It's just a small test, what are you nervous about, what should you do, and it's not too late to make a big move when you enter the spring season. Old Mr. Bai sat on the side and watched the people coming in and out, his eyelids jumped, and he waved his hand to Lin Xi in disgust, "Let's go, go and go back as soon as possible." ”

Lin Xi was not annoyed, so Zhou's mother put on a cloak for him, and saluted respectfully to Mr. Bai with a smile: "Teacher, the student is going." ”

Mr. Bai's eyes looked at Lin Xi from head to toe, and then glanced at the basket in the hand of the little guy behind him, and saw that it was a good one before he said "um".

"If you can't get into the top five, don't take the exam in the future, and if you put out your mind as soon as possible, you won't lose face as soon as possible. ”

Mother Zhou's face changed when they heard this, but Lin Xi's face was still as usual, and she still responded with a smile, "Yes, I will not dishonor the name of the teacher." ”

It seems to be quite confident.

The carriage of King Rui's Mansion had stopped outside the door, and when he saw Lin Xi coming out, he immediately opened the curtain diligently, and in the carriage, there were all the utensils inside, and there was also a small stove, "Today's road is crowded, Gonggong Cao ordered the little one to wait for the son early in the morning, and the prince please." ”

In that case, there is nothing to excuse.

The carriage of the palace was blocked by no one without eyes, and the journey was very smooth, and a team of men and horses galloped through the way as if it were very urgent, as if they were coming from outside the city.

Lin Xi looked puzzled, but the clothing system was the Northwest Army.

"This is the first herald, it seems that the prince has not been away from the capital for a few days since he returned to the court, and he can't say that the prince can see the prince when he leaves the courtyard. ”

Lin Xi narrowed his eyes and happily hooked the corners of his lips.

The college examination is just the beginning of the long road of the imperial examination, it is really nothing, if there is a high school red list like Xiao Yuheng one day, fortunately the Golden Palace will be widely concerned.

Most of the people who came to the exam were not very old, most of them were weak young people like Lin Xi, and there were a few prodigies after all, but they saw a few with white hair.

There are also several students who are familiar with Lin Xi and teach together in the Bai Family Academy, all of whom are younger than Lin Xi, and they mostly say hello when they see it.

"Give me the basket and go back. ”

This kind of battle has been experienced many times by Lin Xi in later generations, and he is not timid, and he feels ordinary.

Lin Fang handed the basket and food box to Lin Xi, and said with a blank eye: "It's cold at night, the young master has to take care of himself, if you can't stand it, you must not be reckless, the old father told the little one to live near here, and he must wait for the young master to come out." ”

Lin Xi smiled, bowed his head, turned around and entered the examination room, searched his body, and entered the inner compartment.

Three days later, the door of the courtyard was opened, and Lin Gongzi walked out of the door of the examination room with a basket and said goodbye to his classmates.

The servants of the Lin family immediately rushed up, shushing the cold and asking for warmth.

Yuanyuan put a thick cloak on Lin Xi to keep out the cold, but Lin Xi saw that it was the ferret skin that Zhao Jingyi gave him.

Lin Fang announced: "Young master, the prince's soldiers and horses have arrived outside the city, and they are waiting to be summoned into the city. ”

Lin Xi was surprised, "So fast?"

Tuan Tuan said: "No, the people of the whole city have been dispatched, Lord Rui has won another battle this time, and our Daxia has a long face." If it weren't for the young exams, the slaves would have to make up a new one. ”

Lin Xi didn't know what it was like to suddenly become in his heart, he always felt that his heart was beating faster, so he wanted to fly outside the city to meet that person.

Before leaving, he was handsome and upright, and he was particularly eye-catching, and I don't know if I still recognize the original appearance after three years of not seeing it. That face that is always paralyzed, can you give him a smile?

Just as he was thinking wildly, the sound of horses' hooves was heard in the distance.

Xiao Yuqi got off the horse, patted Lin Xi's shoulder and laughed, "How did my cousin do in the exam?"

"Okay. Lin Xi raised his face and looked at Xiao Yuqi, raising his eyebrows slightly.

Xiao Yuqi explained: "Today, Prince Rui returns to the court, and the emperor orders hundreds of officials to greet him, and today I am the only one who is free, cousin, don't feel lazy." ”

Lin Xi smiled slightly and shook his head, "I am extremely happy to have my second cousin come to greet me." ”

"That's fine, it's not good to stay in it for three days, hurry up and get into the carriage, go back and have a good rest, the house is ready, and you will celebrate in the evening." ”

As soon as Xiao Yuqi said this, Lin Xi felt a little uncomfortable on his body, eating, drinking, and Lazar were all in it, and he had always been delicate and pure...... It's just that his eyes looked at the city gate, and his heart was shy, although he was going to see it sooner or later, but he always wanted to do his best.

"This is not in a hurry, cousin doesn't want to see the demeanor of the prince, and the army enters the city?" Lin Xi blinked.

is a man who always yearns for a trip to the battlefield, Xiao Yuqi is no exception, if it weren't for the fact that no man in the family was free, he would have to let him pick up his cousin, he would have booked a wing room to occupy an excellent view.

Now that Lin Xi is so upright, Xiao Yuqi hesitated for a while and happily agreed.

"Since my cousin has this leisure, my cousin should accompany him. ”
