Some things need to be struck while the iron is hot, and now Hu Yong has planted a big heel no matter what he says, it is when he is weak, Ji Yanning will naturally not let him go easily.

You can think of such a trick as scattering your family wealth, and it seems that Yan Zheng really wants to keep Hu Yong's subordinates.

But some things are not so simple, do they think that everything will be fine if they keep their positions? Even if Hu Yong is willing, his wife and children in the back house may not be able to accept such a result.

Yuan Jiaojiao said: "There are still a few days left before the imperial examination, so let's put Hu Yong's matter on hold for now." ”

After Hu Yong and the eldest princess cleared their previous suspicions, they must have known that someone had done something in that landscape painting, and if they were in a hurry to make a move, they were afraid that they would find out the clues.

Ji Yanning pondered and felt that what Yuan Jiaojiao said also had a certain amount of truth.

Rubbing her head, Ji Yanning only felt a little tired, and she didn't know why, she seemed to be a little anxious recently, knowing that there were some things that she couldn't remember, but she couldn't help but want to solve all the people and things that stood in front of her.

"That's right. Yuan Jiaojiao seemed to think of something, approached Ji Yanning, and asked, "Last time Duan Wufang talked to you about King Xuan, could it be that you had some conflict with King Xuan?"

"Nope. Ji Yanning denied it.

Yuan Jiaojiao pursed her lips, looking at Ji Yanning's current appearance, she naturally didn't believe this.

Ji Yanning said: "Instead of asking about these idle things, it is better to think about how to do the affairs of the Guozijian better." ”

Yuan Jiaojiao sat back in her position and asked, "What if that Guozi Priest Wine is not moved at all and doesn't want to read the exam questions?"

In her impression, some literati are pedantic and determined, and they will not do things that are not done by gentlemen.

Ji Yanning chuckled lightly and said, "Don't worry, Cai Ruheng is not a gentleman." ”

At the beginning, he was a strategist under Rong Che, although he had a lot of knowledge, but his temperament was not flattering, especially since he was a particularly good-looking person.

Although Guozijian is the highest institution of learning in Chang'an, and it accepts children from official families, many people are proud to be able to study in Guozijian, and the number of Jinshi in Guozijian every year is much higher than that of other academies. However, in recent years, the emergence of Egret Academy has broken this situation.

Mr. Jing Yuan, the director of Egret Academy, is a great Confucian in the academic world, and although he has no official position, he is admired by many people, so many students go to Egret Academy to study, and even many children of official families choose Egret Academy among the Taixue and Egret Academies of Guozijian.

In the imperial examination in the past few years, the number of people in the Egret Academy has been inferior to Taixue at the beginning, and it has gradually reached the same level as Taixue in recent years, and even exceeded the number of people in Taixue.

How could a person with a good face like Cai Ruheng endure the corruption of Taixue's reputation in his own hands?

Now that he is the prince of the country, he naturally wants Taixue to restore his original supremacy in the official school, but now Bailu Academy recruits a lot of high-quality students every year, and there are many famous gentlemen to teach, how difficult it is for him to turn the tables.

The admission to the Egret Academy needs to be assessed, if it does not meet the requirements, even the children of the family with a high official position will not accept it, but the Guozijian is different, it is an official school for the children of the official family, and there are naturally many gentlemen among the students who accept it, so the chance of winning is even more slim.

If you can know the exam questions, let your students be prepared, and have an advantage in the imperial examination, you will naturally be able to get good results and suppress the Egret Academy.

Therefore, Ji Yanning is sure that if Cai Ruheng is given a chance, he must want to vent the topic.

She didn't force Cai Ruheng to do this, she just gave him a chance to choose, and if he chose to jump into the fire pit himself, he couldn't complain about her.

In the past few days, students from all over the country who have come to Chang'an to catch the exam are nervous, after all, this is an opportunity once every three years, and if they fail this time, they will have to study hard for another three years, and they will be tormented.

In a quiet small courtyard in the Shangshu Mansion of the Ministry of Industry, Shen Qingyi was feeding the fish in the lake, his face was indifferent.

There are only two small servants in this courtyard, and no one will come to disturb him on weekdays.

Second Mrs. Shen took the maid into the courtyard, saw Shen Qingyi was leisurely, walked forward, and asked, "Why didn't Yi'er study today? Tomorrow will be the first day of the exam." ”

Shen Qingyi got up and saluted Second Lady Shen, and replied: "I've read all the books that should be read, even if I read more today, it's not as good as the accumulation of the past, so it's okay to relax." ”

"You just have to know what to do. Second Mrs. Shen said, "I asked the kitchen to stew some fish soup for you, which is eye-catching and replenishes your body, don't work too hard." ”

Shen Qingyi smiled slightly: "Auntie is bothered. ”

Second Mrs. Shen said gently: "It's all a family, you don't have to be polite." Your father left early, and your second uncle treats you as if you were his own, and then you don't talk about anything else. ”

Shen Qingyi is a very worry-free child, he has been well-behaved all these years, he studies well, he is not big, but he has already won the lift, presumably this time he is also confident, and it is probably not difficult for him to be a jinshi.

Second Mrs. Shen suddenly thought of the girl Ji she saw at the poetry meeting last time, who had a marriage contract with Yi'er, which looked good, but when she heard that the girl was the life of a relative, it was no wonder that the sister-in-law did not agree to this marriage contract.

If Yi'er can go to high school in this year's Chunqiu, with his appearance, character and talent, there are many young ladies in this family who can be chosen at will.

Second Mrs. Shen was concerned for a few words, so she didn't stay longer, after all, the second day was the time for the exam, and it was inconvenient for her to delay too much of Shen Qingyi's time.

After sending off his aunt, Shen Qingyi used a few mouthfuls of fish soup and returned to the study again.

Looking at the pen and inkstone on the table, they were all things that Ji Yanning gave him when he returned the gift, and his heart calmed down inexplicably.

Ji Yanning didn't care about the scientific expedition for several days, she received a post from the county lord of Ren'an, so she went to the county lord's mansion.

She hadn't seen her for more than a month since she had entrusted her to the county lord last time.

Now that she saw Xu'er standing in front of her again, she couldn't hide her joy.

She reached out and touched Ying Wenxu's face, and said with a smile: "Xu'er has finally grown flesh." ”

In the past, Ying Wenxu had a really miserable life in the Yan family, so he was thin as if he could be blown down by a gust of wind, which made Ji Yanning feel distressed, although he was still very thin now, he was much better than before.

Touched by Ji Yanning's warm hand, Ying Wenxu's ears were a little red, and he said shyly: "I'm not a child. ”

If you count it seriously, he is five years older than Ji Yanning, and he should be his brother, but Ji Yanning treats him as a child as always.

Although he likes the feeling of being cared for by Ji Yanning, now that he is no longer pretending to be stupid, he naturally doesn't need to treat him like a child.

Ji Yanning smiled and said, "I am your aunt, in my eyes, you are naturally a child." ”

"Auntie?" Ying Wenxu was a little puzzled, she never understood why Ji Yanning was so good to herself, since he knew his life experience, he also understood the events of the year, but whether it was the Ji family or the Liu family, it was not directly related to the Ying family and the Lou family at the beginning.

Ji Yanning said: "Yes, I am your aunt, and your father is my brother-in-law, but in fact, I am not the real Ji Yanning." ”

The county lord of Ren'an gave them the opportunity to be alone, and there was no one around, so she was naturally not afraid to tell Ying Wenxu her secret.

After all, Xu'er is the last bloodline of their Ying family, and she is the closest person to her, and there are some things that should not be hidden from him, and they can't be hidden.

Because she can't explain that she knows so much about Yingjia, and she can't explain why she is so good to Xu'er.

Ying Wenxu was still puzzled: "You are not Ji Yanning, where is the real Ji Yanning?" But you look at it and are obviously younger than me......

Ji Yanning looked at him: "Do you believe in borrowing corpses to resurrect souls?"

Ying Wenxu looked at her in shock.

Ji Yanning was worried: "Are you afraid of me?"

Ying Wenxu shook his head violently: "No." ”

Before he met Ji Yanning, he lived a dark life in the Yan family, although he had built a few shops outside with his efforts, and there were some people under him, it was the first time that he was so cared for.

Ji Yanning was a light in his life, redeeming him from the night, how could he be afraid and alienate her?

Seeing that he was not afraid, Ji Yanning said slowly: "I was the eldest daughter of the Ying family, Ying Caiwei. The Ying family was calculated back then, and I died tragically because of it, but for some reason, when I woke up, twenty years had passed, and I became Ji Yanning, the eldest lady of the Ji family in Jiangzhou. For me, the collapse of the Ying family and the Lou family has been less than a year. ”

Ying Wenxu felt a little incredible, and he was also a little uncontrollable sad.

He still remembered that Ji Yanning once hugged him and cried and said that it would be good if she could come back sooner, so that he would not have to suffer so much.

But compared with his own suffering, the torment in Ji Yanning's heart may not be much better.

"You know what, how happy I am when I see the birthmark on your arm. Ji Yanning said to Wen Xu, "As long as you are alive, it is the best gift from God to me, I will not let you be bullied in any way, as for the words, I will never let him go!"

Ying Wenxu was silent for a while, and said: "I want to avenge this revenge myself." ”

Ji Yanning raised his eyes and looked at him.

"I've been in the Yan family for 20 years and know him better than anyone else. Ying Wenxu said, "I want to take revenge myself, whether it is for my biological parents or for myself, I have to make a decision." ”
