By this time it was completely dark.

The emperor was about to accompany the queen to dinner, but was called to the imperial study by Cheng Li.

Cheng Li made Yuan Bao'er very clear today, and said: "Bao'er is young and doesn't understand the joints, and the ministers are terrified, so I ask Your Majesty to make it clear." ”

The Emperor was speechless.

"The goodness of your lady can only be known to you, and others appreciate it, but you are not happy?"

Naturally not, he was afraid that Bao'er would not know why, step into the pit and be calculated.

"The minister doesn't dare," Cheng Li didn't dare to raise his head, "Bao'er can't learn to calculate more than a month, and in terms of true talent and real learning, her senior brothers are a hundred times stronger than her." ”

"She has a simple heart, and she concentrates on farming, so she can't care about anything else, and she can't do things that consume her mind, such as calculating books."

The Emperor smiled lightly, "You look down on her too much." ”

It is undeniable that when I let the child go out, I wanted to encourage her to make new rice seeds, but more often than not, I wanted to show grace to Cheng Li.

However, after making a decision, he specially asked people to investigate.

Only then did I learn that the child had Mr. Gao's blue eyes at a young age, and even coaxed those eyes to be higher than the top senior brother to treat her kindly.

The emperor doesn't care about a few talented and weak young people, what he cares about is Yuan Bao'er's affinity and talent for calculus.

Such a person only stays in the Ministry of Industry to study rice seeds, which is inevitably a bit overkill, but fortunately, she is not in a big grade, and she will be very malleable in the future, so she can also have more experience.

Cheng Li was even more shocked in his heart, and he wondered what the emperor had done in it.

Remembering the last time the emperor looked at Bao'er, he could only bow his head and put his head on the ground.

The Emperor lowered his eyes to him for a moment and sighed softly.

"Well, I know, if someone says something, I will refute it."

"Thank you, Your Majesty," Cheng Li solemnly bowed.

The emperor waved his hand, a little excited, "You, even if you are too wide and big, you should let go." ”

"Take care of it, beware of it."

Cheng Li was respectful on his face and sneered in his heart.

His family Bao'er is the most well-behaved and loves him the most, how can he be angry with him.

When he went back home, Cheng Li was relaxed.

Yuan Baoer was teaching Zhang Xiaolang and Zhang Xiaoniang to learn calligraphy in the front yard, and when she saw Cheng Li coming back, she greeted her with a smile.

"Grandma is back, and Mama is heating the rice on the stove."

With that, she raised her voice and asked her grandmother to bring the food.

She sat down opposite and looked at Cheng Li, "Ancestor hurriedly entered the palace, but what's the matter?"

Cheng Li was gnawing on the cooked ribs, and when he heard this, he said, "It's not a big deal, it's just a matter discussed in the morning, I have a little eyebrows, I'm worried about others doing something, so I'll go and talk to Your Majesty first." ”

Yuan Baoer measured it carefully, trying to find clues on Cheng Li's face.

However, Cheng Li has been in the court for so many years, how can he be in vain?

Yuan Baoer looked around, but didn't see anything, so she had to give up.

Cheng Li did it steadily, just dipping it and eating the stewed soft meat.

In the early morning of another two days, Yuan Bao'er was still asleep, and someone from the Cui family came to the door.

"Say hello to Mrs. Yuan."

The people who came shouted happily.

Yuan Bao'er struggled out of the quilt, and ran to the door with her hair scattered, "Cuixin, go see what's wrong?" ”

Cui Xin put aside her washing things, ran outside, and came back beaming after a while.

"Congratulations to the lady, congratulations to the lady, the lady is in high school."

"Really," Yuan Bao'er was also overjoyed, and wanted to run out in a hurry, but when she ran to the door, she was stopped.

Yuan Bao'er then remembered that she was so happy that she forgot that she hadn't changed her clothes and washed yet.

She packed herself up with a smile and ran to the front yard, but the person who reported the good news from the Cui family had not left.

Yuan Baoer grabbed a handful of happy money, gave it to him, and asked Zhang Dalang to go outside to take a closer look.

confirmed that she really won the system, and she was so happy.

After being happy, she said, "Who else has passed the lady?" ”

There were almost five people who went to take the exam together, but apart from Cui Jiu and Zheng Sanniang, the other two Yuan Baoer were not as good as each other.

Zhang Dalang thought for a while and shook his head, "Just a lady?" ”

"Just me?"

Yuan Bao'er muttered in a low voice and turned her head to go to the kitchen.

Cui Xin followed, and when she saw her sifting glutinous rice, she said, "What is this lady doing?" ”

Yuan Bao'er looked at the glutinous rice rolling with the sieve, and said in a low voice: "Jiu Niang is dedicated to being a leader, and now that she is off the list, she must feel uncomfortable." ”

"I want to go over and see her."

Cui Xin understands her kindness, but people's hearts are separated from their stomachs, if they are not really close, can they really know the mother's heart?

The corners of her mouth moved, and she said in a low voice: "Lady, she is in a bad mood now, if you pass, won't it arouse her sadness?" ”

Yuan Bao'er paused with her hand and said in a low voice, "She won't." ”

She turned her head to look at Cui Xin, "If she really cares, she won't send someone over to report the good news." ”

"I've seen her skills, Qinglu is like a stream, it's not just anyone who can do it."

"I think there's something strange here."

Only then did Cui Xin understand why Yuan Bao'er was going.

"I'll help the lady."

She helped soak the rice and make a fire.

An hour later, Yuan Bao'er came to Cui's mansion.

The maid entered the inner courtyard to return, and Mrs. Cui was having a headache, so she asked the maid to take people directly to Cui Jiu's courtyard.

Yuan Bao'er followed the maid all the way through the corridor and through the garden, and walked for almost a quarter of an hour before coming to Cui Jiu's Zhifang Pavilion.

Cui Jiu was sitting under the begonia tree in the courtyard, looking at the sky in a daze.

Yuan Bao'er walked over when she was stunned.

Without waiting for her to speak, Cui Jiu turned his head to look at her.

"You're here," she smiled, looking at the food box.

"What did you bring?"

Yuan Baoer opened the food box, and it was a saucer cliff honey flower cake.

As soon as the lid was opened, a faint floral fragrance emanated.

"It's so fragrant," Cui Jiu twisted one and took a bite, and the cliff honey inside slowly flowed out with the gap.

"It's so sweet," Cui Jiu said vaguely.

Yuan Bao'er sat across from her, "I think you should be in a bad mood, so you specially doubled the cliff honey." ”

Cui Jiu chewed for a while, and Yan Shan put the snack aside.

"You guessed it?"

Yuan Bao'er nodded slightly.

It is far easier to make a science than a serious scientific examination, Cui Jiu has real talent and real learning, even if she is not worse than other Lang Jun, there is no reason for her to go up half-baked, but she is not on the list.

Cui Jiu sighed and grinned more ugly than crying.

"I'm more unlucky, it's my second aunt's in-laws who read the papers."

Yuan Baoer knew the Cui family's attitude, and if she thought it would be like this, she would cut it off directly from the source.

"Do you still want to be a leader?"

Yuan Bao'er suddenly asked.

Cui Jiu lowered his eyes silently and didn't speak for a long time.

Yuan Bao'er sighed lightly and didn't say anything more.

When she returned home, Yuan Baoer was always depressed.

She didn't understand why Jiuniang was obviously talented, but the Cui family didn't allow her to display her talent.
