Ji Ning can't talk about how much he likes Shangguan Wan'er in his heart, nor does he dislike it, it's just an appreciation, but because of this relationship, Ji Ning's attitude towards Shangguan Wan'er will also change slightly.

Ji Ning thought to himself: "Miss Shangguan is good, she has to have good looks, she has to have a figure, she has excellent martial arts and wisdom, and she gives me an innocent body." But if I had to look for her, I wouldn't know where to find her! She was originally victimized by a traitor, and she was deeply poisoned, and she came to me to 'detoxify', maybe she never had the slightest love for me in her heart, so why should I be cheeky to find her? ”

He is a responsible man, so he is still very considerate in his attitude towards Shangguan Wan'er, it all depends on Shangguan Wan'er's attitude, but or like Shangguan Wan'er's book, it is unknown whether the two will have a chance to see each other again in the future.

Ji Ning didn't think about Shangguan Wan'er anymore, Shangguan Wan'er didn't appear in his boudoir again in the next few days, and Ji Ning even felt that it was just a flash in the pan, after that night, or the two would never see each other again, thinking about it, I was a little lost in my heart.

On September 13, Tang Xie and Han Yu came to visit Ji Ning, and at the same time told Ji Ning the latest results of the bribery case.

“…… Yongning may not have gone out for the past two days, Princess Wenren made the bribery case a big deal, but only punished some of the candidates who bribed the exam, and added a few people to the unsuccessful candidates as appropriate, and the matter is over. It didn't involve a game between the powerful as expected! Tang explained.

Ji Ning thought for a while and said, "It's not that it wasn't involved, it was just done in secret, and Princess Wenren's suppression of this case is also a game in itself." ”

Han Yu asked, "What did Yongning say about this?" ”

"Princess Wenren is under the pressure of the crown prince and the five princes, she is a woman herself, and the possibility of becoming the crown prince is almost none, this case involves the crown prince and the five princes, if Princess Wenren takes the opportunity to suppress the two factions of the prince and the five princes, she will inevitably expose her ambitions, so she would rather calm things down, so that the Son of Heaven can see the sleek and sophisticated side of Princess Wenren, which will help Princess Wenren add points in front of the Son of Heaven!" Ji Ning said.

Tang Xie and Han Yu both fell into deep thought, and Ji Ning's words caused them to think.

"Yongning, you mean, Princess Wenren is actually a manifestation of her ambition?" Han Yu said.

"I don't dare to say whether I have ambitions, but Princess Wenren is a far-sighted royal noble, if there is a chance to meet in the future, it is better to be careful." Ji Ning said.

Tang Xie nodded and said: "This matter is almost over, some of the candidates involved in the case will be corrected, as for whether the family behind them will be guilty at the same time, it will be reported to the imperial court, and the imperial court will decide." It is said that Princess Wenren will leave Jinling and return to Beijing in the next two days, and the emotions of the scholars have been appeased, and several candidates who have made trouble have even been punished with canes in public. Almost on September 15th, there will be a deer feast, September 17 Confucian Temple to give the literary name, Yongning these days don't walk around, just wait for the deer banquet and give the literary name, and then clean up, next month in the middle of the month, we will set off to the capital! ”

"Hmm." Ji Ning nodded.

Han Yu was quite looking forward to it: "On this way to the north, go together, and by the way, you can also visit the famous mountains and rivers, so unhappy, I am looking forward to it." Let's not bother Yongning to prepare for the exam, at this time we should also work hard, after all, there are only three or four months left for next year's exam. ”

The general examination is held in the spring of the year after the township examination, after the first month, in early February, and like the township examination, the general examination will be held for nine days, and the content of the examination will be deeper than that of the township examination, but the examination of the four books and the five scriptures has not changed. After the spring festival, about mid-March, the candidates who have passed the examination will participate in the palace examination, as long as they pass the examination, no matter how good or bad they play in the palace examination, they will ensure the fame of a jinshi, but there are also cases in the article that violate the ban, or involve fraudulent candidates who are deprived of the merit of the jinshi, but it is rare in the past.

……

……

In the morning, Ji Ning met Tang Xie and Han Yu, and in the afternoon, a guest came to the house, Qin Yuanyuan, who came to the door with a maid and maid and some domestic servants to send a "congratulatory gift".

Qin Yuanyuan's demeanor is still the same, and even more feminine, a smile and a smile seem to attract Ji Ning's attention, Qin Yuanyuan came to the door when Ji Ning was in the middle of the day, and helped Ji Ning distribute the silver money rewarded, this time she came again, brought some silk and satin, tea and the four treasures of the study, and even brought a few ancient books, at a glance, you can know that Qin Yuanyuan is very attentive, because these ancient books are not available on the market, many of them are almost out of print thread-bound books.

"The concubine came with some gifts, and I hope that Ji Gongzi will not dislike it!" Qin Yuanyuan was very polite, and the person sitting there was also very demure, looking more like a big housekeeper.

Ji Ning thought to himself: "Qin is in charge of the house, but unfortunately he is always too strong, suitable for being a housewife, not suitable for being a concubine to live a peaceful life." Marrying a wife and marrying a virtuous woman, she has always been a widow, even if her husband died before they were married, her reputation is still there, and it is not suitable to marry her back as a wife! ”

With this kind of thought, Ji Ning's attitude towards Qin Yuanyuan did not dare to have any encroachment, and he simply regarded him as a strong woman who appreciated himself.

Ji Ning said with a smile: "Qin is polite, it's just a fluke to get lifted, and then I will study diligently, and strive to be able to take the Jinshi as soon as possible, and shine on the lintel!" ”

"Ji Gongzi is from a scholarly family, and he has the fame of being a talented man, and now he deserves to be Xie Yuan in the exam, the concubine knows some friends in the capital, when Ji Gongzi goes to the capital to take the exam, or these people can help Ji Gongzi!" Qin Yuanyuan said with a smile.

"Oh?" Ji Ning was a little surprised.

He originally felt that Qin Yuanyuan was not simple, a woman could actually call the wind and rain in a place like Jinling City, if she didn't have a strong background, it would be unrealistic.

Before, Ji Ning had thought that Qin Yuanyuan might be the outer house of a certain high-ranking official in Jinling City, but after Ji Ning thought about it later, if this was the case, how big of a heart did the high-ranking official have to make Qin Yuanyuan stare at the name of the widow? Even if Qin Yuanyuan's husband's side is killed, it is too risky, and women are always inferior to men when they show their heads outside.

Now that Qin Yuanyuan actually said that he still has connections in the capital, then Ji Ning has to consider what kind of background Qin Yuanyuan has, but it is too difficult to analyze it just through some simple conversations with Qin Yuanyuan.

"Thank you Qin Master." Ji Ning saluted and thanked him.

"Ji Gongzi called it like this, and he will ...... in the future It's better to call the nature of the concubine's body, you can call Miss Qin, or Yuanyuan, it's okay! Qin Yuanyuan suddenly smiled as if he had a deep meaning.

Ji Ning thought to herself: "The boudoir name is a woman's secret, that is, Qin Yuanyuan often comes out and walks around, and the boudoir name is well-known to ordinary people, she asked me to call the boudoir name, is it trying to hint at me something?" ”
