On the second day, Ruoshu still said that she had a headache, Qin Daochuan couldn't help but ask her how much she had drunk, and Ruoshu said, "I only drank one cup by mistake." ”

Qin Daochuan looked at his innocent wife in front of him, crying and laughing, but the sullenness in his heart disappeared by half.

From Zhonglan's letter, Ruoshu learned that Zheng Yangcheng, the eldest son of Zheng Fuzi, was on the list, winning the forty-third place, and there were eight people on the list with him, all of whom were ranked within fifty, and the results were remarkable.

From Du Ruoyuan's secret letter, Ruoshu learned that the emperor had the intention to restore the Hanlin Academy, which existed in name only when the old emperor was in effect, and those within the fifty would remain in the Hanlin Academy except for other appointments, so that he could choose the best from them in the future and then entrust him with important tasks.

Du Ruoyuan also said in the letter that the emperor finally had enough manpower to replace the people related to the right minister when the old emperor was in power. If Shu thought to himself, wouldn't it be a big blood change, the right minister of the old emperor almost covered the sky with one hand in the official department, which one was an official and had nothing to do with him.

Sure enough, in the past six months, almost all the people in the DPRK and the Central Committee have changed their faces, except for those who once stood firmly by the side of the left prime minister.

Qin Daochuan doesn't like to discuss political affairs with Ruoshu, and still stubbornly guards the ancestral teachings of the Qin family, only protecting the country and not participating in politics. Therefore, despite the storm outside, the entire Guogong Mansion is quiet and worry-free.

The academy where Zhonglan and the others studied was not so peaceful, Lanxi Academy was half public and half private, and it was also the number one academy in the Eastern Continent, and the children of the powerful had always flocked to it, and they were all proud to be able to enter the academy. Because of this, there is only room for the children of the powerful, once the family loses power, there is no need for others to evict customers, and they have no face to stay there.

The entire academy has also undergone a major change of blood as the previous dynasty, and even the few Houmen disciples who used to compete with Zhongzhan have also restrained a lot. Zhong Qi can't live with Zhong Zhan because of different grades, but he only lives with him every day.

In the small group of countless academies, Zhonglan was a bit of an outlier, he was a loner, barely socialized with people, and even the eldest and fourth brothers in the academy were not close to him. Fortunately, every time Ruoshu sends something different from Zhong Zhan and Zhong Qi, it doesn't seem so abrupt.

Until the mid-year exam, although it was only June, the weather was hot and humid because of the sun for several days. It's good to try the text, just sit in the house and write hard. The martial arts test was outside, under the sun, and it was so hot that the master of the main examination showed rare mercy and allowed everyone to take off their outer shirts and only wear their inner shirts.

As soon as Zhong Zhan and Zhong Qi took off their coats, they heard a burst of sneering, Zhong Qi didn't react, Zhong Zhan followed the eyes of those people, and the two of them were wearing cotton yarn underwear, which was completely different from the cotton yarn underwear, Zhong Lan, who took off the college uniform shirt, was wearing a silk underwear.

Unlike Zhong Qi's disapproval, Zhong Zhan's forbearant face was clenched under the usual teeth.

In this mid-year examination, Zhonglan won the first place as unexpectedly, compared with the joy of the second place, the first place Zhonglan is much more indifferent, the mountain chief saw it, and said more, honor and disgrace are not surprised, this son is good.

There is a small long vacation after the exam, called Summer Fever, in fact, because there are too many dropouts this time, and there are many new students, the college needs to tidy up well in order to divide classes and arrange homework for the next academic year.

On the way back, Zhong Zhan looked at Zhong Lan, who had been riding a horse silently, and said, "Master Zheng has already set up a mansion in the capital, and I heard that the family will move to the capital soon. ”

Zhonglan didn't seem to hear it, but Zhongqi said, "Mother doesn't like him the most, what does he mean by moving his family here now, does he respond to us?" ”

Zhonglan continued, "Finally, there is someone who understands." ”

When Zhong Zhan heard this, he threw a whip and galloped forward, and Qin Bai and the other four people who came to pick him up had to chase forward.

When Zhong Qi saw it, he hurriedly said, "Third brother, I'm going to chase the eldest brother." After speaking, he also took Qin Ping and the four of them to rush forward. After a while, only the sound of hooves was heard, and no one was seen.

Zhonglan still rode unhurriedly, looking left and right at the mountain scenery from time to time, and nothing seemed to have changed.

In the evening, the old lady returned home because of Zhongzhan, her heart was hot, and she ordered Ruoshu to hold a banquet in the front yard to catch the wind for Zhongzhan and others. ”

Ruoshu had long been accustomed to Qin Daochuan treating these guards as his own family, and after thinking about it, he asked Xia Berry to bring the people from the kitchen in the right courtyard to the front yard to help. Because the front yard reported that they did not prepare the vegetables when they bought them in the morning, the dishes were not well prepared, so they had to ask Xia Qiao and Shenjiu to go to the guild hall to borrow some vegetables. However, because the owner of the house was in a hurry to borrow food for the first time, he thought it was a big deal, and when he was serving food in the evening, a group of people waited to look at the unusually rich feast on the table, and their hearts jumped, thinking that something big had happened.

When the old lady saw it, she was happy and said, "Lu's family, the Guogong Mansion has always been diligent and thrifty, even if it is rich, it should be thrifty." ”

Ruoshu originally felt that today's dishes were a little extravagant, and then said, "The old lady said very much, this dish was originally borrowed by me, everyone ate this meal, in order to repay the money for this meal, I am afraid it will have to be light for a long time." ”

The old lady's face changed, and she just wanted to speak, Qin Daochuan smiled and answered, "It's been so hot these days, everyone's appetite is not good, I ordered it, take advantage of this good opportunity, everyone has a good meal." He turned to Ruoshu and said, "Don't embarrass Mrs., if you exceed, Mrs. will deduct it from my monthly money." ”

This is really fresh and refined, Ruoshu looked at him and asked him with his eyes, when did you have a month's money with me?

Qin Daochuan said with a smile, "Today's sour and hot lotus root tip is really good, Madame try it." ”

Ruoshu looked at the tip of the lotus root in the bowl and ate it cooperatively, Qin Daochuan saw that she really gave face, and said happily to everyone, "You're welcome, Qin Dong and they moved wine, there are a lot of snacks and dishes today, and there is nothing to do at night, so you must have a good drink." ”

The old lady also seemed to recall something, and said, "Chuan'er is right, our Qin family hasn't been in such a situation for a long time, so it's time to drink well, just like when Grandpa Guo was there." After speaking, she was very interested, and asked Qin Daochuan to pour a cup for her.

Qin Daochuan saw it, and said to Zhong Zhan, Zhong Lan and Zhong Qi at the same table, "You have all entered the school, and you will not be picked up to drink in the future. ”

didn't forget to say to Ruoshu, "Madam, don't drink it, your amount of alcohol is too shallow, so you won't have a headache tomorrow." After speaking, he chuckled, didn't look at Ruoshu's face at this time, and beckoned Qin Dong to send wine.

This night, in addition to Zhongzhan and their first drink, their entourage was also the first time, although Qin Daochuan spoke freely, his subordinates showed mercy, and tried the amount of alcohol of a few people before stopping.

After being a little drunk, he even handed the wine to Ruoshu and sniffed it for her, and whispered in her ear, "This is Juntun's wine, which is much better than that Laizhou aged wine." Ignoring how intimate he was with Ruoshu's whispering.
