This week, the prefect looked like he was fifty or sixty years old, his face was full of red light, and his body was slightly blessed. He looked at Yang Qiuchi carefully and stepped forward: "You are the Yang Gongzi who solved the murder case of Wang Tongzhi yesterday afternoon?" What a hero! Admire, admire! This visit is to thank Yang Gongzi. He turned his head to Niu Baihu and said, "If Yang Gongzi hadn't helped me crack this case, I wouldn't know what to do." After that, the two of them laughed together.

Yesterday, Zhou Governor's Mansion went out for something, and suddenly received an urgent report that Wang Tongzhi was killed, and he was so anxious that he rushed back overnight. You must know that the five products of the dignified court know the same thing, and under the blue sky and white words, he was killed in the prefect's yamen, as the supreme administrative head of Ningguo Mansion, he is to blame, if this case cannot be solved, it will be even worse, he, the prefect of Ningguo Mansion, I am afraid it will be the end.

Governor Zhou rushed back to Ningguo Mansion late at night, and learned that a friend of Niu Baihu had helped him solve this huge case, and it was solved within an hour of the crime, and he learned that the murderer he caught turned out to be Wang Tongzhi's younger brother, and he breathed a sigh of relief. So, I came to visit early this morning and came to thank you.

Song Zhixian stepped forward to see, these two people are superiors and subordinates, they are old acquaintances, Song Zhixian was a little worried that Zhou Zhifu blamed Long Zixu for killing his wife, but it seems that Zhou Zhifu is kind and pleasant, and it doesn't look like he wants to hold himself responsible, so he is a little relieved.

After the guests are seated. Governor Zhou gushed endlessly and praised Yang Qiuchi for his promising young man, and his future is limitless. Niu Baihu and Song Zhixian echoed on the side, and this meeting simply became Yang Qiuchi's praise meeting.

Speaking of the limitless future, Governor Zhou asked, "I don't know if Yang Gongzi is famous now?" ”

Yang Qiuchi said with a smile: "I can't even write well, and I haven't read the Four Books and Five Classics well, so how can I have the ability to participate in the imperial examination." Therefore, for the younger brother, this fame is really as beautiful as the moon in the sky, but it is out of reach. ”

Zhou Zhifu saw that Yang Qiuchi was not polite, so he persuaded: "Young Master Yang, if we want to be an official in the Ming Dynasty, I am afraid it will not work if we don't go through the imperial examination." Childe is still young, as long as he is willing to learn, he still has time. ”

Zhou Zhifu saw that in the living room, except for Niu Baihu, there were only Song Zhixian's master and Yang Qiuchi's followers, and it seemed that they were not outsiders, so he leaned over to Yang Qiuchi and said to Yang Qiuchi in a low and meaningful voice, "If the prince participates in the imperial examination one day, this government is willing to sponsor you." Don't worry about this county test and the government test, even if it is a hospital test, this government and Ying Tianfu Mansion Yin are the same year, and they have a deep personal relationship, so there is no problem. ”

Yang Qiuchi didn't react when he heard Zhou Zhifu's words, but this Song Zhixian was really surprised and happy when he heard it, and he glanced at Yang Qiuchi again and again, asking him to quickly kneel down and thank the prefect for his promotion. But Yang Qiuchi looked at him stupidly, and saw him blinking at the ground as he watched him, and he didn't understand what he meant.

During the Ming and Qing dynasties, before participating in the formal scientific examination, candidates had to participate in the "children's examination" first, and after passing it, they became "Xiucai" (students), so that they were eligible to officially participate in the imperial examination. The children's test is divided into three levels of examinations: county, government and hospital. The county test is conducted in each county and is presided over by the magistrate. The prefectural examination is presided over by the provincial officials, and the provincial academic examination is presided over by the provincial academic administration or the Taoist government.

With the support of Song Zhixian, Yang Qiuchi's county test must be no problem, what Zhou Zhifu said, on the one hand, implied that Yang Qiuchi must be no problem in the government test he presided over, and on the other hand, he also implied that he would also help in the hospital test organized in the province, and it was not a big problem to listen to the tone. From this point of view, Yang Qiuchi has no problem in the third-level test of this children's test. Governor Zhou's favor is not a small help. No wonder Song Zhixian was so happy for Yang Qiuchi.

However, Yang Qiuchi had a headache when he thought of ancient texts, not to mention the Four Books and Five Classics. When he was in middle school, his grades in Chinese, history and other liberal arts have never been very good, especially the ancient Chinese of Zhihu, which made his head bigger than ABCD. Now if you want him to take the imperial examination, it is better to strangle him to death if he writes any inexplicable eight-strand essays.

Yang Qiuchi arched his hand to the prefect of Zhou: "Thank you for the prefect's love, but I have little interest in the imperial examination, and I am afraid that I will live up to the prefect's kindness." ”

Governor Zhou was slightly disappointed and waved his hand: "It's okay, everyone has their own ambitions." ”

Song Zhixian was so angry that he really wanted to step forward and slap Yang Qiuchi in the head, you know, if a scholar has the help of the prefect, he can afford to work hard for many years, so it is so easy to waste.

Long Zixu also felt sorry for Yang Qiuchi, he was a showman, he knew the difficulty of the Tong test, he himself had worked hard for many years to get this fame, but he was just a follower, how could he speak.

The reason why Governor Zhou promised to help Yang Qiuchi participate in the imperial examination was not just out of gratitude to Yang Qiuchi for helping him solve this case, let alone a whim. He has been in the officialdom for so many years, and he is simply too familiar with the officialdom. Last night, he returned to the Yamen, and after listening to the process of solving the case from the mouths of subordinate officials such as the general judge, he heard that this young man who solved the case lived in the Jinyi Wei Baihu Office, and Niu Baihu slapped his sycophants loudly, so he guessed that this young man was not simple.

Just entered the 100 households, and sure enough, Niu 100 households were very in awe of this young man, and Zhou Zhifu affirmed his judgment even more in his heart. This mysterious young man must have a lot of background. Governor Zhou is now willing to help, just to make Yang Qiuchi realize that he really wants to help him, so he will be grateful, this is the most clever sycophant, and when he knows his identity, it will be useless to say this again. Do the big guys still need you to help?

Zhou Zhifu pretended not to guess Yang Qiuchi's background at all, but he still praised Yang Qiuchi as a rare genius through the ages, and very warmly invited Yang Qiuchi and others to stay for one more day, and he wanted to set up a banquet to thank Yang Qiuchi. However, Yang Qiuchi had to agree.

Governor Zhou was overjoyed and welcomed Yang Qiuchi and others to the prefect's yamen. This is a private banquet, of course the two sisters Song Yuner can also participate, without these two beauties, Yang Qiuchi would not be able to drink enough.

Governor Zhou led Yang Qiuchi and others to the back garden of the inner government to drink tea, and then arranged for the squad leader to send a post to invite the chiefs of the yamen and celebrities and squires of Ning Guofu to participate in this private banquet.

The banquet was scheduled for the evening, and it was still early, after Governor Zhou settled Yang Qiuchi and the others. Leave to arrange the banquet and take care of some official business. Yang Qiuchi and others drank tea and enjoyed the flowers next to the lakeside garden. The lake is not large, and there are some duckweeds planted, which have begun to wither in the coolness of early winter.

Song Qing came to Yang Qiuchi and sat down, wanting to speak again. Yang Qiuchi knew that she had something to say, so she stood up and pretended to go to the flowers in the distance to admire the flowers and plants, and left the crowd. After a while, Song Qing quietly followed and said, "Brother Qiuchi, there is something I want to tell you, but I am afraid that you will ......" The big eyes flashed and observed Yang Qiuchi's expression.

Yang Qiuchi immediately realized that it was likely to be related to her future in-laws, but how could she blame others for marrying this family before she knew herself. Besides, yesterday afternoon, a girl took the initiative to kiss herself, and she did her part, what else can you expect her to do? Yang Qiuchi looked at Song Qing and smiled, didn't speak, and waited for her to speak.

Song Qing saw that no one was paying attention to them around, so she took a small step forward, almost sticking to Yang Qiuchi: "Brother, among the people invited by Governor Zhou today, there are ...... There is Hao Yuanwai and his ...... Son. After saying this, Song Qing stared at Yang Qiuchi's eyes, and a nervous expression was written on her face.

Yang Qiuchi had already guessed this, Hao Yuanwai's family was a big family in Ningguo Mansion, and he would definitely be invited. Yang Qiuchi used the flowers as a cover and gently hugged Song Qing's small waist: "I don't care about that, I just want to know, do you want to be with me?" ”

Song Qing blushed shyly: "Brother Qiuchi, until now, you, don't you know my heart?" ”

"That'll do." As long as she is not married, she has a chance to compete fairly, besides, what Song Qing likes is herself, this Hao Yifeng is just a product of an arranged marriage. Yang Qiuchi has the determination to challenge this product, and also has the ability to do so. Doesn't the Hao family have a lot of money? What you have is power, and it is a special power that is cut first and then played, if you really can't do it, you can't believe that it can't be done if you pretend to be public and private.

Of course, Song Qing didn't know what Yang Qiuchi had in his heart, and he was relieved to see that Yang Qiuchi was not angry. was about to leave, but Xiao Man's waist was tightly held by Yang Qiuchi.

Song Qing found that Song Zhixian was looking this way, and blushed: "Brother, if Yun'er girl sees it, she will be sad." ”

Yang Qiuchi's heart sank, and he quickly let go of his hand. Song Qing took a small step back, widened the distance slightly, and looked at Yang Qiuchi with a smile.

Song Yuner is the first girl Yang Qiuchi met after he crossed the corpse to resurrect his soul to the Ming Dynasty, but the first impression was very bad, Song Yuner not only robbed her own money, but also abused the puppy, put [***] on the shelf (in fact, it is not [***]), and there was no one in her eyes. But after the two got along for a long time, Yang Qiuchi found that Song Yuner still had many advantages. Later, after the battle of Yunya Mountain, Song Yun'er threw herself into her arms and cried, Yang Qiuchi felt Song Yun'er's attachment to him, but he didn't believe that it was love, she was only fifteen years old, and in modern society, she was only a junior high school student, and she couldn't fall in love yet.

Before Song Qing, Yang Qiuchi had never really been in love. Although Feng Xiaoxue is Yang Qiuchi's first woman, kind and virtuous, Yang Qiuchi and her first got married and then fell in love, and before they tasted the green olive taste of their first love, they went to bed first. So although Yang Qiuchi loves her very much, and even does not hesitate to turn his face for her and Bai Qian, to be honest, Yang Qiuchi is more of a pity and responsibility for Feng Xiaoxue.

Qin Zhihui is Yang Qiuchi's first concubine, but this concubine is the order of authentic parents, the words of the coal concubine, get married as soon as you meet, go to bed as soon as you get married, and you don't really fall in love, so you have come to the most intimate step in the relationship between men and women. Although the relationship between the two deepened after the murder turmoil, at this time, Qin Zhihui was kidnapped by the mysterious female martial arts senior.

What really made Yang Qiuchi feel in love was this doll-like Song Qing, which could be said to be a bit of love at first sight, but when Yang Qiuchi was ready to attack, people chased him upside down, which moved Yang Qiuchi even more. It was Song Qing who made Yang Qiuchi feel the inevitable jealousy in the love between men and women for the first time, and really tasted the taste of love for the first time.

Song Qing said that Song Yun'er would be sad to see them making love, although Yang Qiuchi didn't believe it, but in the end he was still a little worried that Song Yun'er would really be hurt, so he quickly let go of his hand and glanced at Song Yun'er from a distance, and saw that she was laughing with Song Zhixian and them, and didn't pay attention to her side, so she was relieved. Secretly sighed that Song Qing's mud doll was so powerful, and she hit her own death hole with one finger, girls have always been very sensitive to this kind of thing. Fortunately, Song Yuner didn't care.

―――――――――――――― Yang Qiuchi guessed wrong, Song Yun'er actually cared very much, although she was laughing at the moment, her heart was like a knife.

Since her cousin Song Qing came to Guangde County, she has been sticking to Yang Qiuchi. Song Yun'er compared herself with Song Qing, in terms of appearance, although both of them are beautiful, Song Qing looks very sweet, especially the small dimples and the neat row of small shell teeth, not to mention men, even if she is a girl, she likes it very much; In terms of surnames, although the two of them are generally lively and cheerful, they have their own tomboy surnames, while Song Qing's cheerfulness is full of women's flavor; Besides, Song Qing is very obedient to Yang Qiuchi, which man doesn't like a girl who is a bird, and he likes to pick thorns when he has nothing to do.

Yesterday afternoon, when Yang Qiuchi and Song Qing were talking alone in the back, Song Yun'er had a premonition that something would happen, although she pretended not to care, she kept secretly observing the two of them from the corner of her eye, and sure enough, she saw Song Qing's fast kiss on Yang Qiuchi's mouth.

Song Yun'er thought that she had always regarded Yang Qiuchi as her own brother, but the kiss she secretly saw made Song Yun'er not sleep well all night, she should have been happy for her brother, but she couldn't resist feeling so much pain in her heart, at this time, she realized that her feelings for Yang Qiuchi had gone beyond the scope of brother and sister love.

She also knows now that the last time Yang Qiuchi took a concubine, she didn't go to Yang Qiuchi's wedding under the pretext of taking care of and protecting Bai Sumei, but she was actually escaping - she didn't want to see Yang Qiuchi marry a woman, because deep in her heart, she subconsciously wanted to monopolize Yang Qiuchi, but she didn't know it at that time.

Just now, my sister Song Qing and Yang Qiuchi were hugging and talking among the flowers, Song Yun'er tried not to care, tried hard to talk to her father, trying to distract herself, but she failed, when she felt that her tears were about to gush out, Song Yun'er ran to the pavilion by the lake under the pretext of an excuse, sat there alone, and cried silently.

The fish in the lake swam around in the lake at Song Yun'er's feet, free and comfortable. Yes, before I met Yang Qiuchi, I was so happy and carefree, Song Yun'er didn't like her feelings now, she didn't like the pain in her heart, but she didn't have anything to do, except for hoping that the silent tears could take away a little more pain in her heart.
