Yuan Bao'er leaned aside and asked, "What does the grandfather want to do?" ”

Cheng Li packed up his pen and ink and said: "If you want to choose an official, you must be prepared, you are now a student of the academy, and the matter of recommendation must be made by him." ”

"You are young and have no grades, these are all controversies, and you have to come forward to calm down."

"But in that case, isn't the chief of the mountain equivalent to being my guarantor, and if I make a mistake, won't he be affected?"

Yuan Baoer asked.

"So after you come out, you have to be honest, otherwise not only the mountain chief, but also your grandfather and I will also follow to eat melons."

Yuan Bao'er was startled and hurriedly promised.

Cheng Li was really frightened, afraid that he would be really scared of something, so he interrupted the topic and beckoned to set the meal.

The next day, as soon as Yuan Baoer went to the academy, she was blocked by Yang Yiliu.

"You come with me."

He took Yuan Bao'er back to the small courtyard and asked carefully what was going on before he sighed lightly.

"That's it, you go to class," he ordered the little boy to take Yuan Bao'er to the classroom.

He pondered for a while, then turned to Mr. Gao.

Yuan Bao'er followed the child into the guest house, and saw Yuan Jiayin at a glance.

Yuan Jiayin was surprised when she saw Yuan Bao'er, and squeezed out a smile.

"Siniang is here."

Yuan Bao'er bent her knees coldly and shouted Sanniang.

Cui Jiu came over from the side and rolled his eyes to look.

Yuan Bao'er saw what she meant at a glance, pulled her, and walked out of the classroom.

When he came to a shaded place, Cui Jiu smiled and said, "Have you seen my new sister-in-law?" ”

Yuan Bao'er nodded, with a smile in her eyes.

"How?"

Cui Minzhi's fiancée is a distant relative of Cui Erye's wife's family.

The family has been scholarly for generations, and the ancestors have produced two famous Confucians of the Daqing Dynasty.

That lady is very famous in her hometown, she can play the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and it is said that she is still a well-known talented girl.

"She has been hand-picked by the queen's mother, and she will enter the palace as a female official in a few days."

"Then what is going to happen to my senior brother," Yuan Bao'er was surprised.

"This is not in a hurry," Cui Jiu said with a smile: "She has not yet reached the palace, and she has been in the palace for three years, and she is just the right age." ”

"Already done?"

Yuan Baoer asked.

Cui Jiu nodded, and when he caught a glimpse of someone coming, he turned his eyes and saw that it was Yuan Jiayin, so he pulled Yuan Bao'er up and said in a low voice: "Your cousin was also selected." ”

Yuan Bao'er raised her eyebrows slightly, Cui Jiuwei turned her face sideways, and said in a low voice: "Yun Siniang didn't have an accident, the quota was vacant, she picked up a leak, and I heard that she went to the Zheng family's door." ”

Yuan Bao'er remembered that she had seen Zheng Sanniang and Yuan Jiayin at the gate of the academy, and her brows furrowed slightly.

"Yun Siniang is really not better?"

Cui Jiu shook his head silently.

Yuan Bao'er sighed lightly, pulled her and said, "What about you, but you also want to enter the palace?" ”

Cui Jiu has been studying in the academy for nearly two years, and he also has qualifications.

The corners of Cui Jiu's mouth twitched, and he suddenly said, "I want to go to the election of officials." ”

"Are you serious?"

Yuan Baoer was surprised.

Cui Jiu's expression was very serious, "I've thought about it, instead of living in the palace with Yuan Jiayin and the like, it's better to do what I want to do, if it doesn't work, at least I have fought with my heart, it is the future, and I don't regret it." ”

"I support you," Yuan Bao'er leaned into her ear and whispered, "I also participate in the election of officials." ”

Cui Jiu's eyes widened suddenly, "Really? ”

Yuan Bao'er nodded, "Ancestor has already sent a letter to the mountain chief, and he will recommend it." ”

Cui Jiu suddenly fidgeted, "Then who am I looking for?" ”

Her family will definitely not succeed, if she knows that she has this mind, without the help of others, her mother can beat her to the bed that she can't get up.

Although the gentlemen in the academy are qualified, they can only recommend to the queen, and they have nothing to do with the court.

"You go to find Senior Brother and ask him to ask Mr. Gao."

Yuan Bao'er made a move.

"Will it work?"

Cui Jiu basically doesn't go to the men's hospital, and he is not familiar with it.

Yuan Bao'er nodded, "Mr. Gao is old-fashioned and warm-hearted, and his reputation is enough, if he is willing to agree, you will have an eyebrow in this matter." ”

Cui Jiu hesitated for a moment and grabbed Yuan Bao'er, "You go with me, I'll go to Mr. Gao by myself." ”

"Yourself?"

Yuan Bao'er was surprised again.

Cui Jiu nodded and whispered: "Although my cousin loves me, this matter is too big, I don't want him to be complained about by his father and mother in the future." ”

She tilted her head slightly, her eyes were firm, "My own life, my own decision, if there is something, I am willing to bear it myself, and I will not involve others." ”

"Okay," Yuan Bao'er grew up in front of Cheng Li since she was a child, and her cognition of kinship has always stayed on being enlightened and accessible.

Although she couldn't understand Cui Jiu's concerns, she respected Cui Jiu's thoughts.

"And now?"

The election of officials is imminent, and the quota must be reported this morning.

Cui Jiu glanced at the classroom from afar, but the gentleman hadn't come yet, and the two of them slipped away quietly along the tree.

Yuan Jiayin searched around, but didn't find Yuan Bao'er, so she had to go back to the classroom.

However, until the end of class, the two never returned.

Yuan Jiayin was a little regretful, she hadn't had time to tell Yuan Bao'er about her going to be a female official.

She will enter the palace tomorrow, and if she can't see her envy, she always has regrets in her heart.

On the other side, Yuan Baoer and Cui Jiu left Mr. Gao's courtyard.

On the way back, Cui Jiu was not in a high mood.

"Will the gentleman grant my request?"

She asked in a whisper.

Yuan Bao'er didn't dare to conclude, but seeing that Cui Jiu was uneasy, she still took her hand and said softly: "Yes, Mr. is the most cherished talent, you are so capable, how can Mr. not be pityd?" ”

Cui Jiu is not optimistic about this.

"But Mr. didn't appreciate it, maybe he also glanced at others, thinking that the lady should run errands in the inner court, instead of competing with her cousins and others in the people's livelihood and social welfare."

"Who said that a lady can't do it," Yuan Bao'er suddenly gave birth to a touch of pride in her heart: "Don't worry, if Mr. doesn't allow it, I will go to ask my grandfather." ”

"You also know that my grandfather loves me the most, and he will definitely promise to help you."

Seeing Yuan Bao'er planning and planning for herself, Cui Jiu was moved.

"Bao'er, you're so nice."

Yuan Bao'er grinned, "You treat me very well." ”

Yuan Baoer always remembered that she secretly told Cui Minzhi to take care of herself, and now she is very happy to be able to help her a little.

The atmosphere became pleasant, and the two walked out of the academy together, the Cui family's carriage did not come, but Cui Xin and Zhang Dalang arrived early.

Yuan Baoer asked Cuixin to stay, and the two went straight to the market.

Cui Jiu is in a bad mood or in a very good mood, and he likes to go to the market.

The market was as lively as ever, and Cui Jiu took Yuan Baoer to see it all the way.

She is the youngest daughter of her parents, and she has had more pocket money than her sisters since she was a child.

This also created her character of not thinking much about buying things, but because of this, she saw the world in all its forms, saw the warmth and coldness of the world from the perspective of a bystander, and had the idea of speaking up for the weak.
