Feng Chen looked at Bai Jinyu's face with a look of the world like a cloud, looking around, and was about to persuade a few words, when he suddenly heard a lively firecracker sound on the other side of the street, followed by a joyful gong and drumming, as if someone was doing a wedding.

Bai Jinyu couldn't help muttering: "When did Luzhou start to welcome relatives in the afternoon?" ”

Feng Chen said: "It's not a kiss. ”

As soon as Bai Jinyu wanted to ask questions, the firecrackers and gongs and drums exploded a group of people who came out of nowhere, and the tide rushed towards the sound of gongs and drums.

The flow of people passed by the two, and Bai Jinyu heard a lot of discussions.

"Hurry up, it's the son of Master Lu's family, the high school jinshi!"

"Wow, I had already calculated that the gold list was released a few days ago, and the news finally reached Luzhou!"

"Lu Gongzi is young and promising, I guessed that he would be in high school, take a walk, and see how many places he got in the exam!"

……

Everyone on the street walked away hand in hand.

Bai Jinyu and Feng Chen tacitly understood that they were vulgar, and walked towards the gate of Jinshi and Di with the crowd.

The two came to the door of a high-gate compound, and sure enough, they saw a team of errand servants with red belts at the door, smiling and announcing the good news to the master who came out of the door.

I only heard the head of the errand officer said with a spring breeze on his face: "Congratulations to Master Lu, congratulations to Master Lu, your Lu official won the first place in the second high school in one fell swoop in this palace examination, congratulations to the old man's family from now on, congratulations to the Lu official to make steady progress in the future, and the official luck is prosperous!" ”

Along with this festive greeting, the praise and the sound of gongs, drums and firecrackers intensified.

Someone exclaimed: "The first place in the second class, the fourth place in the country, is really amazing!" ”

When the officer heard this, he turned his face and said as a matter of course: "That's right, our talent in Luzhou is really outstanding, and Lu Guanren's ranking in this exam is higher than that of the son of the criminal department!" ”

Bai Jinyu and Feng Chen glanced at each other, the book of the criminal department? Isn't that Han Yan who bought the exam questions?

"Oh? How many did the sons of the criminal department of Shangshu take the exam? Bai Jinyu stood outside the pile of people and asked.

At this moment, the crowd didn't have time to care who asked, and they all stared at the errand officer expectantly. The errand officer didn't sell his officials, and said to everyone with a smile: "Han Gongzi, two people behind our Lu officials, and the third place in the second class!" ”

"Wow-"

The crowd clapped their hands and cheered, obviously the ranking of this Lu official was not only the glory of the Lu family, but also the pride of the entire Luzhou City.

Feng Chen turned around, and Bai Jinyu felt that he seemed to have changed a little after this answer was revealed, so he followed him out of the crowd.

When only the two of them were left, Feng Chen said, "We really want to go back." ”

Feng Chen seemed to have a useful intention in his words, and Bai Jinyu hurriedly asked, "What's the matter, what happened?" ”

Feng Chen whispered next to her as he walked: "I had a secret agreement with the imperial brother before, asking him to transfer the top candidate recommended by the reading officer from the first to the second and third in the palace examination. ”

Bai Jinyu covered her mouth and almost exclaimed, she didn't need Feng Chen to explain it thoroughly, she already understood: "That...... Just now, the errand officer said that Han Yan's son is the second and third place, so Han Yan's son is the champion recommended by the original question readers?! ”

Feng Chen nodded in a deep voice.

Not only bought a question for his son, but also let his son be the champion!

Bai Jinyu felt a chill in his heart, and said, "These officials are really too unscrupulous, right?" Being an emperor is a decoration......" she said halfway, and did not say anything in time.

Feng Chen said: "Han Yan's fraud, the saint has confirmed it, but unfortunately the clue of Linlang's death came to an abrupt end, and the saint couldn't detect how far he had cheated in this Jinshi department." ”

At this point, Bai Jinyu already understood, and speculated: "So His Royal Highness told the Holy Lord this method of changing rankings, firstly, to prevent Han Yan's son from really becoming the champion, and secondly, to test where they stretched their hands." ”

Feng Chen glanced at Bai Jinyu in agreement, her ability to see the slightest knowledge had never disappointed him.

Bai Jinyu pondered all the way, and finally said, "Your Highness, you just said that we really want to go back, do you already have a way to solve Han Yan?" ”

Feng Chen didn't answer immediately, pondered for a while, and said, "At present, I am only half sure. I have been asking Yan Luo to investigate recently, and he has obtained some evidence, but more things still have to be verified and collected in Chang'an. ”

Bai Jinyu said: "Okay, then when will we leave?" ”

Feng Chen said: "It's too late today, I'll leave tomorrow." ”

Bai Jinyu said: "Okay, then let's hurry back to the inn and tell Yan Luo and Xie Yao." ”

As she spoke, she sped up two steps, but she didn't want to be gently pulled back by Feng Chen. The two stopped, Bai Jinyu looked at Feng Chen inexplicably, Feng Chen was silent for a moment, and asked seriously: "You have thought about it, do you really want to go back to Chang'an with me?" ”

Bai Jinyu was stunned for a long time by this question, and Feng Chen said again: "This is Luzhou, the homeland of your heart." There is Cuizhu here, and there is your fellow disciple...... Are you really willing to leave? ”

Bai Jinyu didn't feel anything, but when Feng Chen said this, his nose was sour, and he couldn't help complaining: "Why did Your Highness remind me?" Say this...... It really made me hesitate. ”

Hearing her say "hesitation", Feng Chen's eyebrows trembled slightly, but he calmed down in an instant, and he said, "I hope you think clearly, not after you arrive in Chang'an...... Regret. ”

Bai Jinyu understood, lowered his head and thought for a moment, and said to Fengchen: "Actually, there is no place for me in Luzhou, if I stay, where should I go?" Will I be asked to go back to Cuizhu when I hear the banquet? My father was a tailor himself, and he had no relatives here, and if I stayed, I would have no relatives to turn to. ”

The more Bai Jinyu spoke, the more she felt pitiful and miserable, so she quickly shook her head to shake off this miserable feeling, and changed her mocking tone and laughed: "Huh? Or I can consider going to the nunnery here to become a monk, which is a way to stay in Luzhou! However, when I became a nun, I had to shave my head and I had to recite sutras in the morning and evening, and I didn't like to be bald or chanting. Otherwise, I will find someone to marry in Luzhou, but I am a little old, which may not be easy to find! ”

Feng Chen's eyes shrugged, and Bai Jinyu hurriedly smiled: "Okay, okay, the most important thing is that I don't have a dowry, in this world, men have to choose women when they get married, and no one will marry a woman without a dowry." ”

Feng Chen listened to her more and more outrageous, and said with a straight face: "Nonsense." ”

Bai Jinyu pouted and said: "I didn't, what I said was the truth, I once saw some women with foreign surnames marrying in Cuizhu, and they all brought a lot of dowries." ”

Feng Chen couldn't listen anymore, and walked forward.

Bai Jinyu hurriedly caught up and said continuously: "Okay, okay, I won't talk nonsense." ”
