On the first day of the first month of March, Zhao Yuanxuan got up very early, she directly changed into the clothes of a traveling man, and modified her face a little, so that she looked more like a handsome and dashing son, and after she was done, she looked at the bronze mirror for a long time, and was very satisfied with her makeup.

"Hmph, I always say that I go out like a girl, and today I will let you know that my level of dressing as a man is still very high!" Zhao Yuanxuan said.

This day is the day when she is going to go to Ji Ning to "settle accounts", and the accounts that are calculated are things that Ji Ning herself refuses to admit when she makes poems, and she is now complacent, wanting Ji Ning to give in to her.

As for the silver she owed Ji Ning, she was originally ready to pay it back, but now she didn't plan to give out any more silver, because she went to ask Zhao Yuanqi for silver to repay the debt, but Zhao Yuanqi told him that there was not so much cash in Chongwang's Mansion, and even Zhao Yuanxuan didn't know that her family was not rich enough to rival the country, and even a few hundred taels of silver needed to be posted, not to mention that what she owed Ji Ning was not as simple as a few hundred taels of silver.

"Anyway, Miss Song has been rescued, and now that she is settled, when I see him, I will go and ask him about the problem of lying to me, and I will never talk about repaying the debt, and I don't have an IOU, why should he ask me for an account?" Zhao Yuanxuan was still wishful thinking in his heart.

After Zhao Yuanxuan made preparations to go out, she didn't even want to eat breakfast, she just wanted to embarrass Ji Ning.

The maid Xiaoli watched from the side, pouted, and said: "County Lord, today seems to be the day when the list will be released, you go out like this, there are so many scholars outside, can you really find Ji Gongzi?" ”

"Who said I couldn't find it? Hmph, you're underestimating me! Zhao Yuanxuan said dissatisfied.

Xiao Qian said: "But the county lord, what if Ji Gongzi wins the tribute?" You're going to make trouble for him, do you want to congratulate him then? ”

Zhao Yuanxuan's heart suddenly felt excited, the reason why she wanted to go out to find Ji Ning to settle accounts this day was also to calculate that this day was the apricot list release, she secretly thought in her heart to help Ji Ning look at the release list and see if Ji Ning was admitted to the Jinshi.

But she didn't admit it: "What's wrong with the list?" With Ji Yongning's talent, can he be admitted to the Jinshi? He also takes himself too seriously! ”

"But the county lord ...... How can Ji Gongzi say that he is also the Xie Yuan of the Jinling Township Test, Jinling is a place where Jiangnan students are all over the place, he can solve the Yuan, he can't say that he has no talent to learn, right? Xiao Qian frowned.

"The county lord said that he couldn't win, he couldn't win, where did you get so much nonsense?" Zhao Yuanxuan was very dissatisfied with Xiao Li's performance, and almost reprimanded, "They all say that they are outgoing daughters, you are just a little maid of mine, how do you speak, you are looking at Ji Yongning everywhere, do you fall in love with him, so you will help him everywhere?" ”

Xiao Qian was not lightly frightened, and quickly explained: "County Lord, no, the slave maid has never dared to have such wishful thinking!" ”

"That's it, get acquainted, don't always make the county lord angry! Let's put it this way, no matter whether Ji Yongning is in Xie Yuan or not, I have to go on this trip today, because I want to see his disgraced appearance, it must be very enjoyable, hey, if I mention this matter in front of him at that time, he will lose face completely! Zhao Yuanxuan continued to look forward to the scene when he saw Ji Ning.

It's a pity that the scene was always his conjecture, and it wasn't real at all, so the scene was so beautiful that she got carried away.

Xiao Qian muttered on the side, and secretly thought: "The county lord is obviously in love with Ji Gongzi, and he is not sure that Ji Gongzi can be a jinshi, but he doesn't admit it, hum, he spoke to me in a loud voice, and when he saw Ji Gongzi, didn't he become a little bird?" The county lord himself is the extrovert of the daughter! ”

……

……

On the first day of the first month of March, not only was Zhao Yuanxuan worried about whether Ji Ning was a tribute, but in another mansion in the capital, Li Xiuer was also very concerned about Li Jing, the household servant in the capital.

On this day, Li Xiuer was unusual, and was ready to put on men's clothes and go out to see the list of the Beijing Meeting.

Yuzhen tidied up the clothes for Li Xiuer, Li Xiuer also faced the mirror for a long time, when she dressed up in men's clothing, she was much more rigorous than Zhao Yuanxuan in terms of grooming, Li Xiuer would not only take care of making a fuss about makeup, but also pay attention to her body shape, wear taller boots, and complete the chest and waist wrapping at the same time, so that even if others think that her face is a little girl-like, but when they see her figure, they will think that she is just an ordinary man with an ordinary figure but a little immature face.

"Miss, there are so many people outside today, can't we wait until tomorrow to find someone to ask?" Yuzhen didn't support her young lady going out, because she was afraid that Li Xiu'er would have an accident outside.

"I can't wait a day, not even an hour. Yuzhen, you don't know, I didn't sleep well all night yesterday, and I always thought about it in my heart, if he could be a tribute...... How good should it be? Li Xiuer also has a little happy longing.

Yuzhen asked, "Miss, if Ji Gongzi wins the Gongshi, it must mean that he wins the Jinshi, right?" ”

Li Xiu'er nodded and said: "Logically speaking, the palace test will not eliminate people, all the tributes are Jinshi after passing the palace test, but they are only divided into first, second and third class Jinshi, but in fact, not all tributes can be Jinshi, if the articles of the palace test are forbidden, or there are inappropriate behaviors and are found out by the court and the Confucian Temple, or encounter unexpected situations such as guarding, they will still not be admitted as Jinshi!" ”

Yuzhen nodded and said, "The slave understands." The slave maid still has a question, will Ji Gongzi stay in the capital and not return to Jinling City after he is a jinshi? ”

When the question was asked, Li Xiu'er's face showed hesitation.

She has thought about this problem herself, and even calculated it more than once, the best result is that Ji Ning served in the Temple of Literature after winning the Jinshi, and from then on stayed in the capital, and no longer went back to Jinling City to find Su Pujia, so over time Ji Ning would forget about this person.

But Li Xiu'er soon realized that even if Ji Ning didn't return to Jinling City, she still couldn't be with Ji Ning.

Because Ji Ning regarded her as Su Pujia, she couldn't appear in front of Ji Ning in another identity, and she was afraid that Ji Ning would know that she had been deceived from beginning to end, so she would rather let Ji Ning go back to Jinling City to see the real Su Pujia, and live with Su Pujia.

Even if Ji Ning recognized Su Pujia at that time, it would be a candle night in the cave room, and at that time, Ji Ning and Su Pujia were already in a boat, and her mission was over.

"No, it won't." Li Xiu'er said with a lost expression, "No matter what, Ji Gongzi will still go back to Jinling City and go to find his Miss Su family!" ”
