Chapter XXVI: Exhortation

When Qing Dai heard this, she was slightly stunned. Half a sound before he said slowly: "What Miss said is serious?" ”

The beginning of the month glanced back at her and smiled: "What, I don't mean what I said?" ”

With a slight twist of her brows, Qingdai just looked at the beginning of the month and didn't speak.

"But don't you believe me?" She sneered.

Qing Dai shook her head, frowned again and asked, "Miss wants to respond, but is it because of Miss Su?" ”

Yue Yi lowered his head and smiled: "Yes, do you think I'm very childish?" ”

She replied sincerely, so that Qingdai didn't know what to say for a while.

"Actually, it's not all because of her." The beginning of the month paused and continued, "I just want to know the people and things around him......"

At this time, Xiao Xiao had already combed her hair in a bun, and looked at herself in the bronze mirror at the beginning of the month, "But do you think I'm ridiculous like this?" She laughed to herself.

"Qingdai doesn't dare." Her eyes were lowered and her tone was light. There is a figure of a person in his mind, what is the position of himself to say that this woman of the same age in front of him?

At the beginning of the month, he glanced at her again, "It's nothing, I feel a little ridiculous myself, but I just can't let go of ......" and then she got up, "Okay, it's time to go to see my father, and my father will go to court in a while." ”

After tidying up, I headed for the dining room.

The breakfast was quite pleasant, and at the beginning of the month there was no mention of what should be done, as if it had not been said.

"I heard your mother say, do you want to read some more books?" At the dinner table, Hang Zhongxuan asked.

At the beginning of the month, she looked at Ying Ruolan, who was frowning at her.

"I want to read it." She said carefully.

Hang Zhongxuan nodded and smiled: "Girls' family, it's not bad to read more." Since you like it, then come to my study every day in the future. ”

When I heard it at the beginning of the month, I said with joy on my face: "Oh, thank you Dad!" ”

"You kid, what's there to thank you for. But now that I'm going to start studying, I can't cope with it. Hang Zhongxuan said with a smile.

"Well, I know. Yue'er will study hard. At the beginning of the month, he happily agreed.

After breakfast, Hang Zhongxuan went to the court. At the beginning of the month, he accompanied Ying Ruolan to play with flowers and plants in the backyard.

In June, gardenias bloom and fill the courtyard with the fragrance of flowers.

Two people, one holding the pruning of flower branches, the other holding a pot for watering, laughing from time to time.

After cutting the remaining flowers for the gardenias, Ying Ruolan was a little tired and went back to the room to rest. At the beginning of the month, I saw that on the flower stand on the east wall of the courtyard, the Lingxiao flowers bloomed very vigorously, and the red was red, like a waterfall going down, covering the sunlight, and there was a gentle breeze. So I asked people to move a small couch and put it under the flower stand and read the book.

After reading a few volumes, Xiao Xiao brought refreshments, she put down the book in her hand and ate tea again.

"Qingdai, what do you want to say?" The moon put down the refreshments in his hand and looked up and asked. For half a day, Qingdai has been frowning slightly and depressed. She looked at it in her eyes and picked up a chance before asking.

Qing Dai was a little stunned by her question, and thought for a moment before biting her lip and asking, "Earlier, Miss said that she was really not joking?" ”

The beginning of the month raised an eyebrow, "What?" You still think I'm joking? ”

Hearing her say this, Qing Dai's eyebrows tightened, "Miss, do you know how muddy the water is in this imperial examination?" She said politely, "Not to mention that Miss is a woman, even a man who is rich in five cars, and she may not be nominated for the yellow list in this big Chu world." ”

After Qing Dai said this, Xiao Xiao beside her was very surprised, and at the beginning of the month, he only frowned slightly, and asked something irrelevant: "Qing Dai, I heard that your father was originally a three-grade waiter?" ”

Qing Dai's eyes darkened, and she said, "Yes." ”

At the beginning of the month, he picked up the teacup, took a sip, and said with all his thoughts: "So you know a lot of things?" ”

"What do you mean, Miss?"

"I heard that you were originally recommended by the women's department this year, so I have never regarded you as an ordinary woman who was raised in the deep boudoir and did not know foreign affairs......"

Qing Dai was slightly stunned, and suddenly remembered that when she redeemed her at the beginning of the month, she had said that saving her was equivalent to saving herself. Now it seems that this young lady had a plan, but what she didn't expect was that she looked weak and unhindered, but she was actually very thoughtful.

"What does Miss want to know?"

The beginning of the month smiled, "It's nothing, but I just want to know something about the court......"

Qingdai didn't understand a little now, "Miss wants to know something?" Why don't you ask the master? ”

"My dad will naturally ask, but it's not time yet...... Besides, my father probably doesn't know more than the daughter of a third-grade waiter. Yue Yue shook the teacup in his hand and said.

"You just said that even if you learn to be rich and five cars, you may not be able to be nominated on the yellow list...... I wonder why? ”

Qingdai bit her lip and paused for a long time before she said slowly: "Because...... Because this fair selection has long since ceased to exist in name, and has become a tool for greedy and ambitious people to obtain money and status......"

"The people in the opposition don't know that today's Dachu, the emperor and the young are incompetent, and the court and China are competing with each other. If the officials at the bottom want to be promoted to the rank of knight, they must be attached to one party. Otherwise, they can only be excluded from the center of power. ”

"So, Sister Qingdai, your father ......," Xiao Xiao suddenly said in surprise.

Qing Dai nodded, "Yes, my father was originally attached to Xiao Xiang's party, but I don't know why he abandoned it when he had a disagreement." After a pause, she continued: "Although the master is also famous for his talents, he still sits in such a small master of the Ministry of Rites, but I am afraid that the officialdom does not know how to sycophernate others. ”

Hearing this, the beginning of the month couldn't help but smile lightly: "The benevolent see the benevolent, and the wise see the wise." Dad doesn't know how to flatter, although his fame is hopeless, he can keep his net worth. ”

Qing Dai is a meal, which can be regarded as the default statement at the beginning of the month. "Now that we know that, we don't have to wade into this troubled water...... " she admonished at last.

At the beginning of the month, when he heard this, he bowed his head and pondered. The sound in the courtyard fell, and it was surprisingly quiet for a while.

"Qingdai, you just said that the DPRK and China are fighting each other?" Half a ring, she spoke.

"Yes."

"Hearing you say that, I was only fifty percent sure of being on the list, but now I'm nine percent ......" Beginning of the month suddenly laughed.

"Miss?!" Qing Dai was annoyed for a while, and had some gratitude and reverence for the beginning of the month, and originally hoped to tell her the truth so that she could be deterred, but she didn't expect her to care.

"Qingdai, I know you are for my good, but there are some things that I have to do." She said with a wave of her hand.

Qing Dai frowned and wanted to speak again to admonish, but was stopped by Xiao Xiao, covered her sleeves and chuckled: "Sister Qing Dai, forget it." Miss is actually stubborn, once the matter is decided, the nine cows can't pull it back. ”

"Hee-hee, Xiao still knows me." At the beginning of the month, I didn't get angry when I heard it.

Qing Dai looked at this master and servant, and was still so playful about such a strict thing, and was suddenly dumbfounded, not knowing whether she had underestimated this young lady, or if she herself was too ignorant of the sky.
