Niu Da happily accepted the position of steward, and he had already had the intention of staying after entering the middle capital, but he didn't expect it to be so smooth, and he happily moved into a new house.

However, it was said that on this day, King Liang invited four Jinshi to a banquet, and specially invited Wei Yicheng, the secretary of the ministry, to enjoy the chrysanthemums together.

According to the ban issued by the imperial court a few years ago, protégés are not allowed to organize a bureau to hold an apprenticeship banquet.

Wei Yicheng is the undergraduate examiner, and the previous examiner has just been torn apart, if it weren't for King Liang coming forward in person, this always cautious Wei Shangshu would not have rewarded this big face.

Since it was King Liang's acquiescence, everyone at the banquet tried their best to convince Lord Wei, who made him not only the undergraduate examiner, but also the official secretary responsible for the evaluation, appointment and dismissal of officials!

Especially Du Chun, what he said made Qing'er goosebumps, but Lord Wei was indifferent, he must have been used to hearing it.

Qing'er always knew that Du Chun was not a fuel-efficient lamp, but she didn't expect that she still estimated his combat effectiveness, and the fact that he was flattering was breathtaking.

Compared to others, Qing'er is the most relaxed. She knew that she would definitely not pass the test, so she just flashed to the side and watched the big show.

I didn't expect Nishi to join Feng Ying's team, but he was more subtle and subtle, but he was the most effective.

Qing'er watched coldly, feeling that among the group, Lord Wei seemed to be only interested in the west, although he was happy and angry, but the eyes that looked west every time were different.

It turned out that her judgment was correct, and since then, Xi has often traveled back and forth to Lord Wei's mansion.

Qing'er is a little unclear about this, so the first stop of the champion is the Hanlin Academy. This is a death sentence that will not change.

Xi spared no effort to stammer with the Ministry of Shangshu, wasn't he afraid of causing the dissatisfaction of King Liang?

But she didn't care, she had always known Xi's enthusiasm for official careers. The big fox must have his reasons for doing this, and let him go.

Qing'er has been very idle recently, and there is basically no hope of being an official, and no one mentions Xi's marriage anymore, and now she has a fixed residence, so she began to think about what Yun Niang entrusted her to do.

Looking for Zhang Sheng, there is a vast sea of people. It's better to go to Yinuo Pavilion first and get the things back from the mother.

On this day, she successfully found Yinuo Pavilion located in the east of the middle capital city alone.

The east of the city was originally the richest place in the central capital, and the streets and alleys were full of mansions of high-ranking families and royal officials.

Yinuo Pavilion is built on the most prosperous street in the east of the city. Twenty steps lift its momentum to the top, and every guest who wants to see the gold-lettered signboard of "Yinuo Pavilion" has to look up.

At this time, Qing'er was looking up at this majestic building, so magnificent! What a big bully posture!

She looked around from side to side. Sure enough, there are many people here. If Yun Niang hadn't told her in advance that the deposit had been paid, and she didn't have a few hundred taels of silver tickets, she really wouldn't dare to enter this gate.

Qing'er climbed the stairs and pushed open the heavy door, but was frightened by the magnificence in front of her.

She's not a hillbilly, she's a serious person who has entered the palace, but it's too glamorous to dazzle.

Just as she was dazzled by the luxury here. When I didn't know where I was, a gentle voice beside me asked:

"You don't know what to do when you come from afar?"

Qing'er was in a trance. Seeing a middle-aged man in a robe similar to Mr. Bookkeeper standing in front of him, he couldn't react for a while, and said with a slight stutter:

"I'll pick up things for someone, ah...... It's ......."

The man smiled politely, led her to the counter, and shoved the pen and paper on it towards her. Qing'er reacted at this time, and took a pen and wrote the word "Cui Xuan" seriously under the paper.

The one who took the word and opened a very thick booklet and checked it for a long time, then took out another large booklet from the large cabinet behind him, and smiled at her when he looked at it for a long time:

"Seems to have a poem, right?"

Qing'er replied at this time: "Compare with its neighbors, faint smoke and clouds." ”

The man closed the booklet slowly, returned to his place, high-fived a servant to watch tea, and smiled at Qing'er:

"Wait a minute, I'll pick it up."

When he was young, the man took a rosewood box and led Qing'er to a private room, leaving Qing'er alone to retreat.

Qing'er saw that this room was very small, the doors and windows were strict, and she still had to hold the light even in broad daylight. In addition, except for a table of eight immortals, there was nothing outside of the two Taishi chairs.

There are more than a dozen "lamps" on the surrounding walls and on the table of the Eight Immortals, which are neither oil lamps nor candles, but are topped with a kind of luminous beads.

Qing'er heard about the Night Pearl, but she thought it was unlikely, this amount was too much, and I thought it was another kind of ore that could also glow in the dark.

Fortunately, the light is very positive, almost similar to the feeling of the sun, and it is not very colorful.

According to Yun Niang's indication, she took the circular protrusion on the wooden box and rotated it seven times, and rotated it three times, and the wooden box really bounced open, and there was indeed half a jade ring inside.

Qing'er solemnly took out the jade ring and looked at it over and over for a long time, but she didn't feel anything rare.

Although she doesn't know much about jade, this thing is not transparent, not moist, not green, not white, and even the work is very rough, and she can't tell that it is a first-class product.

She looked at the lamps and thought to herself that this bead could buy several of these jade rings, right?

Qing'er took out the prepared blue cloth from her arms, wrapped the half jade ring and put it in her arms, and stepped out of Yinuo Pavilion.

Along the way, she couldn't help but secretly guess what Yun Niang was doing with only a jade ring that didn't seem to be worth much in such a magnificent place, and it should cost a lot of money to save money here, could it be that she didn't know the goods?

After returning to the residence and putting away the Yuhuan, I heard Niu Da say that the new chef was already in place, but I didn't expect the eldest aunt of the West to be so efficient.

Qing'er knows that Xi is weak, picky eaters, and most importantly, there is that terrible fava bean disease, and if he doesn't change to a chef who knows the roots, he will definitely not eat steadily.

It's a pity that neither Xi nor she dared to personally visit Xie Uncle's family, but fortunately, they have already reported safety, and they will talk about it when King Liang returns to the Western Regions.

After eating a smooth meal, Qing'er didn't have time to be more happy when the bad news came, she was going to take the Jiuqing Kedao exam early tomorrow morning!

In other words, she passed the test!

What's worse is that the so-called "Jiuqing Kedao Examination" is simply a formality, and when it comes to this level, it is a definite official, and it is just a shortage.

In fact, I don't know if the energy of King Liang is too strong, only three days later, Qing'er's lack has been decided-the secretary of the Ministry of Officials Feng Siwailang, the seven-grade sesame official.

Qing'er stared at the book on the table in a daze, and her mood was extremely bad, it seemed that she had committed this crime of bullying the king!

Suddenly, the book was copied by a slender hand, Qing'er supported the ground with her feet, and the chair leaned back on her feet, and she didn't need to look up to see Xi's smiling face hanging above her head.

Xi smiled: "Great, finally stayed!" (To be continued......)
