Ran Qiunian threw the tulip buds to Qingxi, and soon left them behind, not caring anymore, but secretly paying some attention to Liu Yufei's movements.

She sent someone to secretly watch the movements in Liu Yufei's yard, and found that as the day of spring was getting closer and closer, Liu Yufei's yard was becoming more and more guarded, and she couldn't find a chance to do anything at all.

"It seems that I really didn't guess wrong, this time Liu Rumei must be counting on Liu Yufei to win the imperial examination, so as to find a chance to turn over."

Ran Qiunian closed the door and discussed a few words with Qingxi in private, a little unwilling.

"How is that good, if you really let that Liu Yu fly into the lift, and have an official body, you will not be allowed to walk sideways in the Ran Mansion in the future. What should the young lady and the young master do at that time? ”

Qingxi was so anxious that he turned around, but he didn't think about the possibility of Liu Yufei not being admitted at all.

"The government can't stop him, so find a way to work outside, even if you can't stop Liu Yufei from taking the imperial examination, it's enough to block him."

Ran Qiunian touched his chin and had an idea. She stretched out her hand and beckoned Qingxi, and whispered a few words in her ear, Qingxi looked at Ran Qiunian with some hesitation: "Miss, can this work?" ”

"It's just this way to do it, can you think of something better?"

Ran Qiunian patted Qingxi's head lightly and said angrily.

Qingxi nodded, touched his head and went out to prepare those things for Ran Qiunian.

Ran Qiunian watched Qingxi's back disappear behind the door, and then took out the half-made female red from the cage on the side.

Although Ran Qiunian's craftsmanship is not skilled enough, he has done it very carefully, and he has been doing it for several days, and there is still one last place left to embroider it all.

This is the roll bag she prepared for Xiao Yin, with Xiao Yin's name embroidered on it, and made a tie at the mouth of the bag with a red rope, and the end was decorated with the Yingluo knot that Ran Qiunian specially learned from Qingxi, and then embroidered with gold cinnamon ornaments.

When Qingxi came back, he saw that Ran Qiunian was still there embroidering the golden cinnamon ornament seriously, and he didn't know how long he had been doing it.

"Miss, let's rest for a while, there are still a few days before the spring festival, so I'm not in a hurry for this time."

Qingxi looked at Ran Qiunian distressedly, and lit the candle brighter for her, for fear that she would burn her eyes.

"That's all there is left, I'll go to bed when I'm done, and I'll be able to rest at ease if I give it to my big brother earlier, if you're tired, go and rest first, you don't have to wait here."

Ran Qiunian waved his hand and rushed Qingxi to rest. But Qingxi couldn't bear to put Ran Qiunian here alone, although he was a little sleepy, he still cheered up and lit a few more candles for Ran Qiunian, and prepared refreshing tea.

Seeing this, Ran Qiunian didn't insist on driving people anymore, but the movements under his hands were a little faster.

"Miss is really hearted, even when the second young master took the test as a child, you didn't care so much."

Qingxi couldn't help but sigh.

"Brother Qiubai, you say?" Ran Qiunian remembered his brother Ran Qiubai, who was driven to Tongsheng by the old lady with a stick, and couldn't help but smile a little, "Speaking of which, I haven't seen Brother Qiubai for a while, I heard my grandmother say that Brother Qiubai's caravan is already coming to Splendid City, and after Spring at the latest, Brother Qiubai will be able to go home." ”

For the meeting with Ran Qiubai, Ran Qiunian has been looking forward to it for a long time, after she returned from rebirth, she has seen a lot of old people, but she has never been able to see Ran Qiubai who is running a caravan outside, and she has long missed it in her heart.

"If the eldest young master can win the first place in one fell swoop this time, the old lady will also have comfort there, and she will not force the second young master to study again. The second young master will be able to stay in the mansion for a while longer. ”

Qingxi also thought of Ran Qiubai's dislike of studying, and couldn't help laughing.

In order to avoid the old lady's supervision, Ran Qiubai led a caravan to run outside for many years, and he didn't dare to go home. For this reason, the old lady hated iron for many years.

Ran Qiunian also misses this brother who has loved him very much since he was a child, and in his previous life, it was after the spring that Brother Qiubai came back with the caravan, but at that time he was greeted by his stepwife Liu Rumei and Liu Yufei, who almost replaced his position in the mansion.

This time, she will never give Liu Rumei and Liu Yu a chance again, repeating the mistakes of her previous life. Ran Qiunian thought slowly while concentrating on embroidering the golden cinnamon pattern under his hand.

"Qingxi, take out my iron tomorrow, iron this roll bag, and you can give it to ......"

After Ran Qiunian finished all the roll bags, he turned his head to call Qingxi, only to find that the person couldn't stand the trap and leaned on the feet of the bookshelf with his arms on the pillow, and slept darkly.

Ran Qiunian couldn't help but feel a little funny in her eyes, this girl also said that she wanted to wait for herself, and couldn't help but sigh: "It's still a child after all." ”

If Qingxi was awake, he would inevitably wonder that Ran Qiunian was clearly two years younger than himself, but he looked like an adult to himself.

woke Qingxi up and asked her to hurry to the couch in the side room to rest, and Ran Qiunian also yawned and lay on the bed.

The next day, after lunch, Ran Qiunian personally sent Xiao Yin the roll bag that he had worked hard for many days to do.

She is good to Xiao Yin now, and she is no longer as utilitarian as she was at the beginning, but if she does something good, she must praise her intentions in front of Xiao Yin.

Unconsciously, Ran Qiunian had completely included Xiao Yin in the scope of his own protection, and put him, his grandmother, and Ran Qiubai in the same position.

Maybe even Ran Qiunian himself hasn't noticed this, but Xiao Yin can clearly feel Ran Qiunian's sincerity and trust.

"Big brother, I heard that the red rope tie and the golden cinnamon ornament are the most auspicious, and this Yingluo knot, Qingxi said that it can gather good luck, and after you use the Nian'er bag to pack the examination papers on the day of the imperial examination, you will be able to win the crown in the Toad Palace and win the championship in one fell swoop."

Ran Qiunian carefully told a few words about the importance of this roll bag, but he never mentioned that he had survived these days, and in order to make this roll bag for Xiao Yin, his hands were a little red.

"Miss is afraid that she won't be able to make this bag before the exam starts these days, but she is in a hurry to work every day, and I embroidered all night last night!"

Qingxi saw that Ran Qiu didn't mention her hard work in making this bag, so she couldn't help but say a few words for her young lady.

"Qingxi." Ran Qiunian shouted Qingxi and looked at Xiao Yin with some embarrassment.

On weekdays, she has always pursued the principle that good deeds must be named, but in the face of Xiao Yin, those boasts that could have been said very smoothly have been forgotten by her, and Ran Qiunian doesn't know what is going on.

A hand was gently placed on her head and rubbed, Ran Qiunian only heard Xiao Yin's gentle voice sounding above her head: "Nian'er has a heart, I will keep this bag well, and I will not let Nian'er's hard work be wasted." ”

Xiao Yin is confident in his knowledge, even if he can't get the top position, it is not difficult to win in one fell swoop.

These days, in order to privately investigate the inside story of the Lingnan iron ore case, he has been in contact with many scholars in Splendid City, but he has not gained anything, and he has an approximate number of his level among these scholars.

But Xiao Yin didn't say it bluntly to Ran Qiunian, there is always a chance in everything, he didn't want Ran Qiunian to be disappointed.

It is said that there are only two days left before the day of the imperial examination, and these days Ran Qiunian has been preparing things for Xiao Yin to bring into the examination room, she asked Xiu Gu what she could bring and what she couldn't bring, so she buried herself in the east kitchen to prepare delicious and easy-to-store fine snacks for Xiao Yin.

Ran Qiunian deliberately made it very small, so that he didn't have to worry about the pastries being broken by the soldiers who checked them, Xiao Yin Aijie would not touch the pastries that were broken and checked by the soldiers.

As for other things, the old lady had already prepared for Xiao Yin, and there was no need for Ran Qiunian to worry about it.

On the day of the imperial examination, early in the morning, my grandmother also came to see Xiao Yin, who was ready to go, the sun was too high, and it was inconvenient for her to send the exam in person, so she only took Xiao Yin's hand and told a few words.

"Your child has always been a no-brainer, and your grandmother has been negligent to you over the years, but you are a good boy and have never complained about your grandmother."

"In today's big test, no matter what the result is, you are already better than most people in my grandmother's place. You don't have to be too nervous, just go with peace of mind, the Ran Mansion will send carriages and horses to guard the outside of the field at all times, just waiting for you to return. ”

With Ran Qiunian's unremitting efforts, the old lady did not have as many misunderstandings about Xiao Yin as she did at the beginning. loves the house and Wu, not to mention Xiao Yin's excellence is undoubted, and the old lady has long regarded Xiao Yin as a beloved junior.

"Grandmother, don't worry, with me to send my eldest brother into the field, there will be no safer."

Ran Qiunian grabbed the old lady's arm and shook it, and stood beside Xiao Yin with a smile, almost patting her chest to reassure.

Xiao Yin thanked the old lady for her concern and advice, and then pulled Ran Qiunian, who was stubbornly pestering him to go with him, and got into the carriage out of the mansion.

"When I enter the field, you and the housekeeper will hurry back to the house, don't stay outside, make people worry."

Xiao Yin looked at Ran Qiunian, who was even more interested than himself, and pinched his eyebrows, afraid that Ran Qiunian would really wait for him outside the venue to finish the exam all day, so he quickly pulled the person over from the curtain and said his face.

"Don't worry, big brother, Nian'er promises to go back to the house with the housekeeper uncle immediately after watching you enter, so as not to worry you."

Ran Qiunian was afraid that Xiao Yin would still be thinking about himself in the field, so he hurriedly raised three fingers to ensure that he was up.

"Don't mess around."

Xiao Yin pressed down the three fingers that Ran Qiunian had placed on the side of his head, and glanced at Ran Qiunian helplessly.

"Why don't you see you with your personal maid today?"

Xiao Yin looked strangely at Ran Qiunian, who came over with him alone, and intuitively felt that Ran Qiunian was planning again.

"I'll ask her to help me do another thing, don't go all the way with us, and meet outside the field in a while."

Ran Qiunian blinked, pretending to smile mysteriously, if it went well, Liu Yufei would be angry at this time.

Xiao Yin couldn't guess what Ran Qiunian had done, looking at the sly smile on her lips, she didn't dig deeper, and this girl would not let herself suffer.

The carriage slowly stopped at the entrance of the field, and many scholars had already arrived here, waiting in line for a body search, and slowly went to the field.

Ran Qiu couldn't read it well, so he could only watch Xiao Yin go over and be at the end of the line. She leaned on the carriage window and watched from afar, while she couldn't help but search in the crowd, but she didn't see Liu Yufei's figure as she wished, and couldn't help but smile on her face.

Seeing that Xiao Yin had passed the inspection, entered the depths of the field, and lost his trace, and most of the soldiers outside had also entered, but Liu Yufei still failed to arrive, Ran Qiunian breathed a sigh of relief.

"Miss, are we going to turn around and go home?"

The housekeeper whispered outside, the field was about to close, and it would not end until the evening.

"Wait a little longer, and leave when Qingxi comes."

After Ran Qiunian finished speaking briskly, his eyes swept out of the window, but his face suddenly changed.
