After nightfall, Xiaoqing made up an excuse to Bai Suzhen that she was going to leave Qiantang County for two days, Bai Suzhen did not doubt her, and only told her to pay attention to safety, be careful of monks and Taoists, and not easily enter the populous city.

Xiaoqing left Baohetang and flew in the opposite direction of Lin'an City for some distance, then turned around the county seat of Qiantang County and flew towards Lin'an City.

In the second half of the night, she flew outside the walls of Lin'an City.

This time, she did not dare to fly directly into the city, but sent a request to the City God Temple outside the city walls.

After a while, a yin god flew out of the city, suspended in the sky, and looked down at Xiao Qing from above: "The lord has an order, for Bai Suzhen's sake, you are allowed to enter the city for three days." During the period of entering the city, it is strictly forbidden to disturb the order of the world, otherwise it will be beaten back to its original form, and at worst, it will teach you to scatter and disappear! ”

"Thank you, King Fuming Ling, for your grace." Xiaoqing lowered her head and whispered down her airway.

She has always been unruly, in addition to listening to Bai Suzhen's words, even Guanyin she dared to criticize her old foolishness, but now in order to see Xu Xian, see Xu Xian as Cen Biqing, she can only bow her head to a nameless yin god.

The Yin God snorted haughtily and flew straight back to the city.

Xiaoqing raised her head again, changed her body, changed the maid costume on her body into the dress of the eldest lady, and then flew over the city wall and entered the city.

The sky was bright, Xu Xian had already gotten up and washed up, and had been reading books for a long time.

Showing talent in the examination is the first step on the road to the imperial examination, followed by the township examination, the meeting examination and the palace examination, and the subsequent examinations are more competitive. The township test is to compete with the whole road (province) show, and the meeting test and the palace test are to compete with the whole country, which can be imagined.

This year happens to be the triennial autumn festival, but Xu Xian doesn't plan to participate.

He knew that his knowledge was far from enough, and he had to study hard for three years before he dared to compete with the world's talents.

Therefore, after winning the show, he didn't dare to relax and continued to work hard.

In the morning, suddenly there was a knock at the door, Xu Xian put down the scroll, got up and went to open the door.

When I opened the door, I saw a strange guy standing outside the door.

"Hello Gongzi, you are the head of the Xu case in Qiantang County, Xu Gongzi?" The little guy asked respectfully.

Xu Xian nodded: "Yes below." ”

"Master Xu, someone asked the little one to send you a letter." The servant took out a letter and handed it respectfully with both hands.

Xu Xian was slightly surprised, and subconsciously thought that it was the mysterious person who gave him a big gift twice before.

After the examination, he began to wonder who had given him the valuable gifts and the examiner's details twice. However, no matter how hard he tried to meditate, he still couldn't come up with it.

He took the letter, and the little man said, "Let the little messenger tell you the little one, and you had better read the letter immediately." ”

"Hmm." Xu Xian bowed slightly, opened the envelope, took out the letterhead inside and opened it to see.

I saw that the words on the letterhead were beautiful, obviously in women's handwriting.

"I heard that the head of Gongzi's high school, even the three yuan of primary and secondary schools, the name shocked Lin'an Mansion, and the concubine was sincerely happy for Gongzi. coincided with the concubine body also living in Ancheng, which is fate. The concubine has prepared tea in the private room of the garden in the east of the city, and I hope that you can come to see it, and the concubine will say hello to you in person. Outside the inn, the concubine has arranged for the carriage to wait. of hope. ”

Xu Xian looked at the end of the letter again, and saw the words "Cen's Biqing worshipped" written on it.

After reading the letter, Xu Xian pondered slightly: "Is it her?" Just asked her if she was Xiaoqing. ”

On that day, he married Bai Suzhen in the church, and he only had time to talk to Xiaoqing. After getting married, although he stayed for three days, all his thoughts were on Bai Suzhen, and he was almost tired of being in bed with Bai Suzhen all day long, and he didn't have a chance to talk to Xiaoqing again.

Thinking of this, he put the letter away, looked up and said to the little servant who was still standing at the door waiting: "Please wait for a while, let me clean up, and then go to the Gathering Garden with you." ”

"Yes, Master Xu." The little guy replied.

Xu Xian closed the door, packed up the books, pen and ink, and paper, changed into a formal scholar's Confucian clothes, then opened the door, left the inn with the little servant, and got into the carriage waiting outside to go to the Gathering Garden.

Huijuyuan is one of several high-end restaurants famous in Lin'an City, and the Linglong Pavilion in Qiantang County is nothing compared to it.

The carriage drove to a stop in front of the magnificent gate of the Gathering Garden, and after Xu Xian entered the Gathering Garden with the little servant, he immediately boarded the sedan chair prepared for the guests in the Gathering Garden.

It turns out that the garden is not only luxurious in decoration and service, but also covers a large area, and if the private room in the depths of the house only relies on the guests to walk on two legs, the guests must be tired, where is there still the mood to eat.

Xu Xian sat on the sedan chair for about a stick of incense, the sedan chair stopped, and Xu Xian walked out of the sedan chair.

The little guy led Xu Xian to a delicately decorated single-family house, stretched out his hand and knocked on the door, then turned around and said to Xu Xian respectfully: "Master Xu, the guest is inside, please speak." ”

Xu Xian nodded and took two steps forward.

At this time, the Zhu door opened, and there were two young and beautiful maids.

"Are you Gongzi Xu?" The two maids asked Xu Xian respectfully.

Xu Xian said: "Not bad. ”

The two maids immediately said, "Young Master Xu, please come in with the maid." ”

Xu Xian nodded, walked into the door, and walked inside with the two maids.

Passing through the front hall and crossing the dragon and phoenix screen embroidered with gold wire, the view suddenly widens, and it is a spacious hall.

The hall is elegantly and luxuriously furnished, in addition to the authentic calligraphy and paintings of precious celebrities on the wall, there is a lattice cabinet on the south wall, on which are placed all kinds of precious treasures, and on the north side there are several precious antiques and blue and white porcelain vases, as well as two or three pots of rare rare flowers and plants. On the east side, that is, on the front wall, is a huge picture of a hundred birds and a phoenix, which is exquisite and lifelike.

However, these did not really attract Xu Xian's attention, because in the center of the hall, a young woman in a long green dress, a beautiful face, and a slender body stood up from her seat and approached him.

She has a smile on her pretty face, and she is even more beautiful and moving, as if she is a famous lady who came out of a big house.

"The concubine has seen Xu Gongzi." Xiaoqing walked in front of Xu Xian and saluted Xu Xian with a blessing, and her voice was pleasant.

Xu Xian looked at Xiaoqing, at this moment he couldn't figure out whether the Cen girl in front of him was Xiaoqing, her appearance and figure were exactly the same, but her clothes were different, and her temperament, speech and demeanor were different.

Is there really such a similar person in the world? Or is Xiaoqing a reference to "Cen Biqing"?

Seeing that Xu Xian looked at her and didn't speak, Xiaoqing said a little uncomfortably: "Young Master Xu, why are you looking at people like this?" ”

Xu Xian came back to his senses and said, "I don't know if I should call you Xiaoqing, or Miss Cen?" ”
