As soon as the list was released in early September, there was a matter of scholars crying in the temple that day, and the chief examiner sent by the Confucian Temple in the evening Feng Xuanqing "committed suicide" in the Gongyuan, and everything pointed to the existence of bribery in this township test, and Feng Xuanqing was the culprit behind the scenes.

Originally, the Luming Banquet would be held on the second day of the ninth month, and two days after the Luming Banquet, on the fourth day of the first month of September, the ceremony of worshipping Confucius in the Temple of Literature would be carried out.

Ji Ning stayed at home, and no one came to him to make trouble, the scholars were still relatively calm at this point, they knew that it was pointless to come to the Ji Mansion to make trouble, it was better to go to the Temple of Literature and the official office to make trouble, but also because Ji Ning only had the identity of a "hereditary talent", although he was born in the Wang family, but now he is out of the Wang family.

Ji Ning stayed at home, he also wanted to see what the final result was, real gold was not afraid of fire refining, even if the imperial court sent someone to re-examine, he believed that he could easily pass this level with his talents.

In the prefect's yamen, Li Xiuer just learned the news of Ji Ningzhong's Xie Yuan on the first day of September, and she was happy in her heart, and she didn't sleep well all night, and she was ready to take Yuzhen to visit Ji Ning in person the next day, and congratulate Ji Ning on Xie Yuan, but the next morning, when she was still dressing up, she learned about the Jinling Township bribery test from Yuzhen.

"Miss, now many people are rumoring that Ji Gongzi is suspected of bribery, and he, like many people, has an improper literary name, and now many people want to impeach him." Yuzhen said nervously, "I heard that the chief examiner of the Jinling Township Examination sent by the Confucian Temple last night, Feng Lao Shilang, died in the Tribute Courtyard, and the old man has personally taken someone to see it, I'm afraid that this case has been confirmed." Miss, what do you think? ”

"Ji Gongzi is outstanding in learning, how can he be involved in bribery? Even if the bribery really happened, it had nothing to do with him. Li Xiu'er said in a resolute tone.

Yuzhen said: "But Miss, everything is about evidence, the slave maid let people go out to inquire, those scholars who fell off the list are saying that Ji Gongzi has a little talent on weekdays, and he also has a good performance at the banquet of the county lord of Huaizhu in Chongwangfu, but his talent has always been not very outstanding, in this township test, he is not a popular candidate for Xie Yuan, they also said, why do so many people who learn well do not understand Yuan, but Ji Gongzi is in it?" ”

"What are you talking about? Since he recognized Ji Gongzi to learn well, he had a chance to solve the yuan, why can't he solve the yuan? Li Xiu'er had a gloomy look on her face and said, "Ji Gongzi is a bright and upright person, how can he pass the bribery exam?" Even if the old waiter Feng committed suicide in fear of sin, and the bribery was true, it must have nothing to do with Ji Gongzi. You don't want to think about it, although Ji Gongzi is from Yin Xianxiu, but now he has disconnected from the original Ji family, it may take tens of thousands of taels of silver to get a person through bribery, and how much silver does it take to get a Xie Yuan? Will Ji Gongzi have so much money to bribe? ”

Yuzhen pondered for a moment and said happily: "Yes, Miss, although Ji Gongzi's life is better now, it is impossible for him to come up with so much silver, how can a person with tens of thousands of taels of silver go to open a small academy to give lectures?" ”

"So!" Li Xiu'er analyzed this, and felt sad for Ji Ning in her heart, "Ji Gongzi is so good at learning, and he has obtained the understanding yuan with his own ability, but he was framed for bribery, he must be very annoyed in his heart, this will probably make him close his door and concentrate on studying." No one supports him, and I will support him......"

"Miss, aren't you still going to Ji Mansion? No, what if there are a lot of people in Jifu? Also, Miss, if you go to visit Ji Gongzi in such broad daylight, it's not good to be a lonely man and a widow after all! Yuzhen was very worried about her young lady's reputation, so she hurriedly persuaded her.

Li Xiu'er thought about it, it was indeed the case, she nodded and said, "Since this is the case, then...... Then I'll write him a letter. ”

"Yes, Miss, it's okay to write a letter, why do you have to go in person?" Yuzhen breathed a sigh of relief.

Li Xiu'er picked up the pen and was about to write down her beautiful small characters, but she felt a burst of sadness, because even if she wanted to write a letter to Ji Ning, she would write it in the name of Su Pujia, and he was unwilling. In the end, she gritted her teeth and did not use the name of Su Pujia, but wrote a letter to Ji Ning in the name of "Su Pujia's friend Li Xiuer", comforting Ji Ning, and asking Ji Ning to cheer up and prepare for the exam next spring.

"Miss, you ...... Does it really work? You don't need Miss Su's name, and Ji Gongzi doesn't know it's you......" Yuzhen asked.

"It's okay, I don't want to hide Ji Gongzi anymore, I can help Sister Pu Jia, I have already done it for her, now I just want to use the identity of a person who cares about Ji Gongzi to care about him, whether he accepts my favor as 'Li Xiu'er or not, this is my heartfelt words." Li Xiu'er was writing in her hand, and her nose couldn't help but feel a little sour, thinking that she had known Ji Ning for so long, but she was always regarded as Su Pujia by Ji Ning, she felt a little aggrieved.

But she won't complain about Ji Ning, because from the beginning, she used the identity of "Su Pujia" to get acquainted with Ji Ning, and the fault was not Ji Ning, but herself.

“…… Sijun steals, I hope you will not be disturbed by foreign objects, and you will learn wholeheartedly, and you will reach the top of the Chaotang Temple of Literature in the future, just around the corner! ”

When Li Xiuer finished writing this letter, she still resisted the urge to sign her name, and finally wrote down the three words "Su Pujia", because she knew that if she used the handwriting of "Su Pujia" before, but finally signed the name of "Li Xiuer", something would definitely happen.

……

……

On the same day, the letter was delivered to Jifu, and it was Yuling who received the letter.

Yu Ling took the letter and walked inside, quite proud in her heart. The young master of his own family and the daughter of the prefect of Jinling City often exchange letters, and the relationship must be extraordinary, maybe the young master of his own family will be able to marry the daughter of the prefect in the future! Hee-hee!

She thought triumphantly, but tripped over the threshold.

Ahh

She screamed involuntarily and fluttered her hands, but she still fell forward and fell.

Although she fell, she didn't care about the pain, because the letter had been held in her hand, and when she fell, she was pressed to the floor and wiped it hard.

She hurriedly picked up the envelope and found that the envelope had indeed been scratched on one side, but fortunately the envelope paper had not been scratched.

"Fortunately, fortunately......" Seeing that the letter was not broken, Yu Ling finally breathed a sigh of relief, and her tender white little hand patted her small breasts. This is a letter from the prefect's daughter, Miss Li, to her young master, which is precious!

She stood up, patted the dust off her body, and prepared to continue walking towards Ji Ning's study.

However, the next moment, she stopped, stared at the envelope with smart eyes, and said, "Huh-".

It turned out that she saw that most of the seal of the envelope had been broken open, and she faintly saw the corner of the letter inside.

Looking at the half-opened seal, her beautiful eyes flew around.

"Do you want to ......" her heart pounded like a drum, and her pretty face showed a look of hesitation and struggle.

Finally, as soon as she gritted her teeth, she quickly looked left and right, and found no other Ji Mansion subordinates, so she immediately turned around and rushed towards her bedroom like a thief.

Entered the bedroom, quickly closed the door, and locked it.

With her back to the door, she patted her little breasts, then walked over to the table and sat down, placing the letter on the table.

Looking at the envelope, her breathing was visibly disordered.

She knew that it was very wrong for her to peek at her young master's letter, but she couldn't help but be curious, and she couldn't help but be concerned about everything about her young master.

"Just once! Just once! She said to herself, her little white hand trembling as she carefully opened the envelope and took out the letter inside.

However, as soon as she opened the letter, she screamed "ah", and her jade hand clenched her small mouth, and her beautiful eyes widened.

She saw that the letter had the word "Su's" on it!

"Young master, how can you be like this?!"

She couldn't help but be angry and sad, Huo Di stood up, and was about to go to He An, and then ask Ji Ning with He An for clarification!

Su Pujia is the great enemy of the New Age Mansion! Because she withdrew from the marriage, her young master was kicked out of the Ji Mansion, her young master was laughed at and couldn't raise his head, and her young master was almost on the street. Incidentally, it also caused her and He An to suffer the ridicule of others.

She and He An had already knelt down to oppose Ji Ning and Su Pujia before, but she didn't expect that her young master was still obsessed with Su Pujia's beauty and had been quietly communicating with Su Pujia!

However, walking to the door and putting her hand on the deadbolt, she stopped again.

She didn't want to see her young master sad.

Although, she knew that she and He An forced their own young master together, and their own young master could only cut off contact with Su Pujia.

Woowoo......

The rain spirit and the heavenly people fought for a while, and they were sad and cried sadly, and burst into tears.

She turned and threw herself on the quilt on the bed, whining and crying, "Woo woo...... Young master, what do you let the slave do? …… Woowoo...... Why are you still obsessed with the beauty of that woman? …… Woowoo...... If someone finds out, the entire Jinling City will definitely laugh at you even more...... Woowoo...... Why......"
