In Qinyi Courtyard, Mrs. Wu and Jiang Ke were at a loss because of Qiu Jinting's affairs.

As soon as Jiang Ke came back from Princess Chengyang's mansion, he was called over by Mrs. Wu.

"How?" Mrs. Wu's eyes were full of anticipation.

After Jiang Ke sighed, he shook his head helplessly: "I haven't seen anyone!" ”

"If you can't see Qiu Jinting, you can ask to see Princess Chengyang, you can explain the elders, maybe it's more useful!" Mrs. Wu pointed at him, "No matter how bad it is, you can mention the ugly things she did back then, I don't believe they can still be so arrogant!" ”

Jiang Ke continued to shake his head: "It is said that the princess and Qiu Duwei are not in the mansion, and they can't find anyone if they want to." Actually, I watched the princess's carriage enter the mansion with my own eyes! It's just that people have the intention to avoid it, and I don't have a problem. ”

Looking at Jiang Ke's dejected appearance, Mrs. Wu felt distressed.

Originally, for Mrs. Wu, if Qiu Jinting returned to her parents' house when the wind was calm, she really couldn't ask for it, and it was too late to be happy.

But Qiu Jinting chose such a time.

Tang Shan, a flat wife, died unexpectedly, and her wife, also ran away the next day.

In the past six months or so, various rumors about Fengyuan have been rampant, and Jiang Ke's reputation has plummeted.

If Qiu Jinting can't be stabilized again, I'm afraid Jiang Ke will only be even more criticized.

However, Mrs. Wu is worried about more than this.

"Since last year's Duanyang banquet, the Queen Mother has obviously been separated from us again." Mrs. Wu spoke to Jiang Ke more and more unscrupulously, "I even suspect that we leaked the news that made Tang Shan ......sacrifice in vain."

Jiang Ke had a dark face. Clam up.

Mrs. Wu complained: "Tang Shan is my favorite daughter-in-law, she died without even saying hello, who should we talk to to reason?" ”

"What's more. She is also pregnant with your child, and if all is well, now the child is past the full moon! ”

Mrs. Wu looked depressed.

Jiang Ke glanced at the door, confirmed that there was no one around, and still lowered his voice: "Mother, don't mention that matter again, after all, we also have a share, if it spreads." It's not good for anyone. ”

When Mrs. Wu heard this, she became even more excited.

"I didn't want to mention it, but you know. The Queen Mother even suspected that we leaked the news, so that nothing was found in the end! ”

Jiang Ke was very surprised when he heard this.

Mrs. Wu said again: "I don't understand, we don't even know who the Queen Mother arranged to put the things." How can we be suspicious! ”

Jiang Ke pondered for a moment. said casually: "It should be that Wu Qiniang in the eldest brother's yard, right?" ”

Mrs. Wu almost forgot that there was such a person.

was rewarded to Jiang Xuan by the Queen Mother in the name of the maid, and at first she jumped up and down for a while, but since Wu Siniang was sent out of the house by Jiang Xuan, this Wu Qiniang has been extraordinarily peaceful, low-key as if it does not exist.

Thinking about it this way, Mrs. Wu also felt that it must be her.

Mrs. Wu had the heart to fight it, and was persuaded by Jiang Ke.

"Mother, don't worry about this matter anymore, the Duanyang banquet will always fail. It is harmful and unprofitable to continue to entangle. What's more, the Queen Mother is just complaining, which is unfounded. I won't really think it's our fault. We are still worried about the Queen Mother, and it is the right way to make new contributions as soon as possible! ”

Hearing her son's words, Mrs. Wu was very pleased.

"Don't worry, I'm just talking for a while, I really want to send Wu Qiniang away when I turn around, and I don't know whose mind it is!"

After Mrs. Wu finished speaking, she remembered another thing: "As for making new contributions, I already have a plan, and it depends on whether there can be good news in the near future!" ”

"Why doesn't my son know at all?" Jiang Ke was quite curious.

"You don't have to know, just wait for the time to make meritorious contributions!" Mrs. Wu finally had a smile on her face, "It's different from last time, this time, it's a meritorious feat on the surface, it's genuine!" If you're lucky, it's not impossible to catch up with your big brother! ”

Jiang Ke listened with excitement.

Mrs. Wu insisted on selling Guan Zi and did not elaborate.

A few days later, there was no news for the time being, but the imperial examination was opened.

The triennial Beijing General Examination is qualified to participate in the outstanding provincial and township examinations last year.

All of a sudden, people from all over the country had already gathered in the capital, gearing up for the hundred or so positions on the emperor list, eager to try.

Only Jiang Ling rushed back to the capital the night before the exam.

There weren't many hours to rest, and he didn't even go home.

The capital has long been curfew, and he asked the soldiers guarding the city to help him open the city gate under the banner of Mobei messenger.

Entering the city from Fuhua Gate, Jiang Ling went straight to the Jingyuan Marquis' Mansion.

In the Yuyuan in the middle of the night, Jiang Xuan heard that he was coming to find him, and immediately got up, worried about waking up Lu Qingrong, so he casually put on a dress and went to the study in front.

Early the next morning, when Lu Qingrong heard that Jiang Ling came to Jiang Xuan in the middle of the night before the exam, and the two talked for a long time before they dispersed, and finally Jiang Ling even rested directly in the Hou Mansion, he was so surprised.

"What about others? It won't still be in the Hou Mansion, right? Lu Qingrong asked.

"I went to the Gongyuan before dawn, and the exam should have started at this moment. Fortunately, he stayed here yesterday, and at least he could rest for an hour, otherwise he would not have been able to sleep for even a moment. Jiang Xuan said with a smile.

"An hour...... I don't know who else only slept for an hour before taking the exam! ”

After Lu Qingrong sighed, he suddenly remembered: "He came to you without even returning home, but what happened to Mobei?" ”

Jiang Xuan hesitated for a moment before shaking his head: "It has nothing to do with the battle situation, it's just that when I captured a certain camp of the Fanmeng people, I found something strange, and he informed me by the way." ”

Jiang Xuan only said this.

It was a matter of military affairs, so Lu Qingrong didn't ask any more.

She was now preoccupied with what she would try.

Lu Chengjie, who is confident, doesn't know if he can come to the bitter end, and the title of the gold list.

And what kind of results will Jiang Ling, who has only slept for an hour in a hurry, have......

On the day of the trial release of the list, all kinds of news came one after another.

First of all, the results of the examination were very happy.

Lu Chengjie took the eleventh place in the examination, and if he can play for a long time when he goes to the palace examination, he still has a chance to be ranked in the top three.

And Jiang Ling, as the Jingshi Xie Yuan, once again took the first place in the exam, and he was a high school Huiyuan.

The entire Lu family, including the Nanxiao Courtyard where Jiang Shenzhi lived, was very low-key, and there was no act of celebration, as calm as ever, waiting for the final palace test.

On the side of the Marquis of Jingyuan, it was attracted by another piece of news.

Cui Yan, the son of the Marquis of Wuding, who was in command in Mobei, was ruthlessly participated in a book.

The Emperor was furious.

Jiang Xuan returned to Yuyuan and said the first thing he said: "Thanks to Jiang Ling this time, otherwise Cui Yan would have to die in Mobei!" (To be continued.) )
