Shi Jinxiu, who returned to the Marquis of Changxing's mansion, took advantage of the fact that his family was not awake, quickly changed out of his night clothes, and went back to the quilt to lie down.

After running around with Yuwenyan all night, she was already so tired that she fell asleep with her pillow.

It's just that she didn't sleep for long, and she had to get up with her family and have breakfast.

"Didn't you sleep well last night?" Looking at the bruises under Shi Jinxiu's eyes, Jane asked with great concern.

"Well," Shi Jinxiu replied haphazardly, "because I'm a little worried about Daddy." ”

"But didn't you say that the eldest uncle and the third uncle are all trying to figure out a way?" Jane stroked her belly, and the child in her belly had been a little uneasy since this morning.

Shi Jinxiu's heart was stunned, in order not to make her mother suspicious, she deliberately coquettishly said: "I'm still a little relieved that my father can't do it!" ”

"Why don't I go out and inquire today!" These days, Shi Nan, who has been at home and has been ignoring the things outside the window, and is only dedicated to reading the books of sages, suddenly said, "I know some friends, and they may also have some way." ”

Shi Jinxiu rejected him without thinking.

"The day of the end is getting closer and closer, you should study well at home with Xu Li!" Shi Jinxiu glared at Shi Nan, in case something was found out by Shi Nan, it would be difficult to hide it from her mother at that time.

Seeing that Shi Nan didn't say anything, Shi Jinxiu, who knew the character of this younger brother, forced him to make a promise: he would never be half-hearted during this critical period of Wenshu.

"Alright, you little kids, don't mess with the adults." Although she was also worried about her husband, Jane still believed that the Shi family would not ignore this matter, and it was better to detain them all in the house than to let a few children out and make trouble.

After breakfast, Shi Nan was sent back to the outer courtyard to warm the book, and Shi Jinxiu also took the opportunity to catch up on sleep.

She hadn't slept all night, and she was really sleepy.

This night, she slept until noon.

Just as she was freshening up and preparing to go to the main house to have lunch with her mother, someone suddenly came to report: Shi Nan was removed from the Yamen of Jingzhao Mansion.

"How so?" Shi Jinxiu threw down the handkerchief in his hand and ran out in a hurry.

It was the porter's mother-in-law who came to report the news, saying that the messenger of Jingzhao Mansion left after dropping such a sentence, so Shi Jinxiu couldn't ask a superfluous word.

"Girl, don't embarrass me as a doorkeeper," the woman said with a bitter face, "If it weren't for the fear of delaying the matter of the third young master, I wouldn't be in a hurry to report to you!" ”

Shi Jinxiu also knew that it was boring to embarrass this mother-in-law, so she took out a half-hanging copper coin from her sleeve and sent the mother-in-law away.

"Eldest sister, why are you so generous? That's a half-hung copper coin! Shi Yan watched from the side and asked puzzledly.

In Shi Yan's opinion, whether it is her mother or the eldest sister, she is the most reluctant on weekdays, and she can't wait to break it in half for a penny, where have you ever seen such a generous time.

"Sister Yan'er, what happened just now, don't make a noise!" Shi Jinxiu instructed Shi Yan, "Whether it's my mother or Brother Nan, don't reveal half a point!" ”

But as soon as her words fell, she heard Shi Nan's very lonely voice: "But sister, I already know." ”

As soon as Shi Jinxiu turned his head, he saw Shi Nan leaning against the courtyard gate, his face was pale, his expression was lonely, his eyes were cloudy, and the whole person was like a frosted eggplant, without energy.

Xu Li followed behind him, obviously because he was not at ease, and followed all the way.

"I ...... Is it really impossible to participate in this government exam? Shi Nan's voice was very weak, obviously trying to verify it.

"How is that possible! Don't listen to their nonsense! Shi Jinxiu scolded sharply, "You are a person who wants to end, don't listen to the wind and rain!" What if someone tried to disturb your mind? Don't forget that you still have a gambling contract with Wang Ming, if you lose, you have to learn how to bark! ”

Sure enough, as soon as Wang Ming was mentioned, there was some look in Shi Nan's eyes.

He was even more expectant: "So, is the news fake?" ”

"At least it's still to be verified!" Shi Jinxiu comforted Shi Nan, "Don't worry, my sister will go and inquire for you, and you will study well at home!" ”

Saying that, Shi Jinxiu went back to the room to change his clothes and went out with the cuckoo.

But who should she go to?

Shi Jinxiu, who went out, made a difficulty.

Could it be that you will go to the Zhenfu Division to find Yu Wenyan again?

I've asked him to investigate my father's affairs, and I'm really embarrassed to bother him anymore.

But except for Yu Wenyan...... Who else?

Shi Jinxiu thought of Cai Xiang'er.

In the dream, Shi Nan cut off his academic path because of the intervention of the Cai family, since they let Shi Nan not be able to participate in the government examination, they should also be able to help Shi Nan recover the qualification of the government examination, right?

As soon as he thought of this, Shi Jinxiu hired a carriage and went to Zheng Guogong's mansion.

In Zheng Guogong's mansion, Cai Xiang'er was petty because the food sent from the kitchen was not to taste.

No matter how persuaded by the maids around her, she didn't want to taste it.

If she hadn't been afraid of being punished by her mother for pushing the table, she would have wanted to sweep the table to the ground.

"You go to the kitchen and ask, are we short of their silver taels? This table of dishes is so vegetarian that there is not even a bit of meat foam, how can people swallow it? Cai Xiang'er was making trouble there with her waist in her hand.

"But Miss, this is all specially ordered by Madame!" The maids were also very helpless.

They used to eat and drink spicy food with the eldest lady, but now they can only follow a piece of tea and side dishes, and their mouths are almost tasteless.

But who would dare to disobey the orders of the Duchess of the Kingdom?

"I don't care! I don't care! I haven't eaten meat in three days! Cai Xiang'er continued to make trouble, she just wanted to eat meat, and she wanted to eat fat and shiny grunt meat.

Therefore, when Shi Jinxiu was brought to see Cai Xiang'er, she was still angry with her mouth pestle.

"What's wrong with you?" Seeing that the maids in the courtyard were holding their breath and concentrating, Shi Jinxiu guessed a few points, "Who are you angry with?" ”

"Sister Xiu'er!" As soon as she saw Shi Jinxiu, Cai Xiang'er complained to her, "These stinky girls want to abuse me, but they don't let me eat meat!" I also said that it was my mother's meaning. ”

"Yes or no, don't you know if you go and ask the Duchess of Guo?" Shi Jinxiu didn't know what was more serious about this.

But when Cai Xiang'er heard it, it was like a deflated ball, and she dared to make trouble in her own room.

"Sister Xiu'er, do you have any way to make me not want to eat meat!" Cai Xiang'er pouted and said to Shi Jinxiu.

Don't want to eat meat?

Shi Jinxiu thought for a while: "I have a fragrant recipe that can make you lose your appetite as soon as you smell those greasy foods, so that you don't want to eat meat again!" ”

"Really?" Cai Xiang'er asked suspiciously.

She also knew that she couldn't eat anymore, but she was just hungry and couldn't control herself, if Shi Jinxiu's method was effective, she was willing to give it a try.
