He put the things in his hand on the table one by one, and said to Bai Shuqin as if he was invited: "Third Imperial Princess, the information you want me to check is here, take a look!" ”

Bai Shuqin looked at the pile of yellowed papers on the table with disgust, and frowned, "What is this, can you sort it out a little and then give it to me?" ”

Du Zijun was in too much of a hurry to tidy up.

He took the things on the table aside, sat on the stool, spread out the paper one by one, and checked it before saying to Bai Shuqin: "It's okay now, you can look at it!" ”

"That's like a word, remember it next time!" Bai Shuqin smiled with satisfaction and picked up the documents he had sorted out one by one.

Last year's champion was named Xu Zelin, his family was a scholar, he was a prodigy since he was a child, and he deserved to be the first place, and there was nothing abnormal. Bangyan and Tanhua, the family is also quite wealthy, and the article is also okay.

Bai Shuqin always felt that something was not normal, Du Zijun looked at her thoughtfully, and hurriedly pointed to the pile of paper below, "There are still rankings of the imperial examinations in previous years, as long as there are on the list, I have found them all." ”

Although Du Zijun is a little frizzy, he is still smart, at least he doesn't need to say too much about this.

Bai Shuqin looked at all the previous years, and finally found that something was wrong.

Last year, the families who won the imperial examination were all powerful or wealthy, and the worst ones were also in business, and the money was naturally not bad.

In previous years, although there were a lot of rich people, there were still many noble sons from poor families who broke through the encirclement and glorified their ancestors. Last year, there was none.

Thinking of what Xu Fei said yesterday, it seems that someone is seeking benefits from it and exchanging money for power.

"Did you get the article written by Xu Fei?" Bai Shuqin asked.

Du Zijun pulled out the latest blank paper at the bottom, "Those articles have not been made public except for those on the list." I asked Xu Fei to rewrite it from memory, and there shouldn't be much difference. You can make do with it! ”

In last year's imperial examination, the examiner only showed the candidates a picture, but there was a blank space in the painting, and used this as a question to test everyone.

Xu Fei has nothing to do, and there is nothing to answer as an entry point, not to mention the content, the literary style will overwhelm a large number of people. At this level, it should not be a problem to enter the temple examination.

However, it is also possible that the years have passed, Xu Fei's memory has gone wrong, and Bai Shuqin does not dare to jump to conclusions.

Seeing that Bai Shuqin fell into contemplation again, Du Zijun hurriedly said: "I don't think Xu Fei is a person who can lie, when he writes in front of me, he does it in one go!" After writing it, he said that if he was asked to write it now, it would be even better than this! ”

"You don't want to trust others too easily." Bai Shuqin reminded him that he was young and inexperienced, and it was easy to look at people only on the surface.

Du Zijun scratched his head, still insisting on his opinion, "People's eyes can't pretend." ”

"You're probably the legendary Mary Sue, I'm sorry for you if you don't want to be the heroine." Bai Shuqin complained while putting on a smiling face and asked him: "Look, my eyes are like a girl who has never been in the world." ”

Du Zijun looked at her seriously, although he was familiar with her, but at this moment she had an innocent face, clear eyes, and a little shyness in her kind expression, she really looked like an innocent girl.

When Bai Shuqin saw him nodding, the smile on his face suddenly disappeared, and even his eyes became a little cold, "People can not only pretend to be eyes, but also character, don't be stupid." ”

Du Zijun was shocked by Bai Shuqin's face-changing skills, if she went out to deceive people, it is estimated that many people would be deceived by her.

Bai Shuqin only felt that Du Zijun was really simple, it stands to reason that the children of poor families were in charge early and had seen the sinister society early, but he could still maintain stupid Bai Tian in such an environment, which was also amazing.

"Can you swim?" Bai Shuqin suddenly asked Du Zijun.

When it comes to swimming, Du Zijun's eyes are obviously bright, and even his expression is sparkling: "When it comes to swimming, I call it the second in the whole capital, and no one dares to call it the first!" ”

Bai Shuqin showed a treacherous smile, and Du Zijun secretly screamed in his heart that it was not good, he was tricked!

As expected, Bai Shuqin heard that he could swim, so he asked him to sneak into the pond in Madame Bai's yard in the middle of the night tonight to look for gold and silver treasures.

Spring has not yet begun, and although the night does not frost and freeze, it is still cold.

Du Zijun suddenly felt that he had dug a big hole and was killed miserably, so he didn't dare to refuse, so he could only agree hard.

"Are you going with me at night?" Du Zijun asked.

Bai Shuqin smiled slightly and asked rhetorically, "Guess?" ”

Du Zijun made a bitter face, "Don't tease me, do you want to go?" ”

"The night is cold and the bed is so warm, I won't go. Don't worry, I'll let Qingluan accompany you, don't be afraid. Bai Shuqin got up and patted him on the shoulder, looking like you are taking care.

Under normal circumstances, Du Zijun would not agree to let Qingluan join him, but thinking of diving in the middle of the night, he still agreed.

At night, the moonlight was bright, the crows stood on the branches and croaked, and the wind blew gently, Du Zijun couldn't help but shiver.

Compared with his nervousness, Qingluan was much calmer.

They followed the picture drawn by Bai Shuqin and came to Madame Bai's courtyard. In the pond of about ten meters, there are withered lotus leaves, which are even more lonely under this moonlight.

Du Zijun looked at Qingluan next to him and said in a low voice, "Sister Qing, you can also go down and look for it with me." ”

Qingluan pulled the corners of his mouth, but his eyes were gloating, "I don't know how to water, you can go by yourself." ”

Du Zijun saw that she was pretending, and he couldn't do anything with her. Although her personality is more ruthless than that of a man, she is still a woman, and he can't do anything to force her.

The main reason is that Du Zijun understands in his heart that he can't force her at all.

He untied the cloak, handed it to Qingluan, and made up his mind: "I'm going, you wait for me!" ”

As soon as Qingluan took the cloak, he plunged into the pond. His skills are really good, and when he goes in, the sound is just like the sound of a stone falling into a pond, and he can't surprise others.

The pool water is cold to the bone, the bottom is full of silt, and the visibility in the water is too low, so Du Zijun can only grope in the water indiscriminately.

The pond is not too deep, but only three meters. In addition to the lotus root that rotted at the bottom of the water, there were some stones, and Du Zijun didn't touch anything.

It took only a quarter of an hour to touch the whole pond. He thought that if there was anything in the water, he might have to drain the pool and dig out the silt to find it.

Du Zijun's body temperature gradually lost, and if he stayed underwater, he might die, so he surfaced.

He still had a water weed on his head, and he went ashore, and his whole body was trembling. His lips were frozen bloodless, his teeth chattered, and he only hugged his arm. As soon as the cold wind blew, he felt like he was about to freeze into ice.

Qingluan sat on a stone not far away with a cloak, and he didn't feel distressed when he looked like this, but felt very funny, "You took off your wet clothes." ”

"You want to take advantage of me?" Du Zijun's eyes widened, was she going to do something to him at this time? No, his icy and jade body can't be defiled by this old woman. He hugged his chest and stared at Qingluan defensively.

Qingluan knew that he wanted to be crooked when he looked at him, rolled his eyes, and walked over to him.

When Du Zijun saw her coming, he hurriedly took two steps back, slipped under his feet, and saw that he was about to fall into the pond again.

Fortunately, Qingluan's eyes were quick, and he reached out to grab him and prevent him from falling in. But he was unsteady again, and threw himself into Qingluan's arms.

This time it was Qingluan's turn to protect his chest, and to the side, Du Zijun directly fell and ate.

The movement they made was a bit loud, alarming the resting people in the room, and both of them held their breath and did not dare to move.

Madame Bai heard some voices outside, and shouted to Xiao Cui in the outer room: "Xiao Cui, go and see what's going on outside?" Is there a thief breaking in? ”

"What a fuss, where are the thieves." Bai Shaoan grunted.

Xiao Cui promised Mrs. Bai, got off the bed, put on a coat and pushed open the door to take a look.

She was so sleepy that she didn't open all her eyes, but she saw a shadow passing by the pond, and said to the white lady inside, "Madam, it's a wild cat." ”

"Come back then!" Lady Bai said.

"Look, which thief dares to come to our house. Madame, you are thinking too much. Bai Shaoan rolled over and continued to sleep.

Seeing Xiao Cui enter the door, Du Zijun stood up from behind the stone.

Qingluan came down from the tree, threw the cloak to Du Zijun, and whispered, "You take off your clothes, put on your cloak, let's go quickly." ”

Du Zijun's man's dignity did not agree with him taking off his clothes in front of a woman, although he was indeed very cold, he still put the cloak directly on his body and said to Qingluan: "Let's go!" ”

Qingluan saw him like this, so he let him go. Anyway, it's not that she's cold, even if she has a cold, it's not that she's uncomfortable.

Bai Shuqin had a good night's sleep, and when Qingluan dressed and washed her on the second day, she remembered and asked, "Where is Du Zijun?" Didn't you all last night together? ”

Qingluan said while tying a skirt belt for her: "He is infected with wind and cold, and he is now resting in the room." ”

"What did you find last night?"

"I didn't find anything, just an ordinary pond." Qingluan replied.

Bai Shuqin nodded, thinking that maybe Bai Shao'an wasn't smart enough to think of these methods, or maybe he had a better hiding place, but she didn't find out.

Du Zijun can be regarded as having a cold on duty, and Bai Shuqin, as his leader, still has to go over to offer condolences.

When Bai Shuqin saw Du Zijun, Du Zijun had a towel on his head, his nose was constantly runny, and his voice was hoarse like a male duck.

"You didn't let Beizhu show you?" Bai Shuqin asked in surprise, she thought that he lived next door to Beizhu, and called Beizhu to treat him, even if he couldn't get better, it should be fine.

Unexpectedly, he became this like he was going to die.

Du Zijun said that he was suffering in his heart, it was not that he didn't look for Beizhu. When he came back, Beizhu was still resting, and he didn't want to disturb her, so he wanted to wait for dawn. Who knew that he overslept in a night, and when he woke up, Beizhu had already gone to Baohetang.

Bai Shuqin almost laughed when he looked at his bitter appearance. But she couldn't laugh at this time, she coughed, and instructed Qingluan: "You go and call Imperial Doctor Li and show him." ”

"Yes!" Qingluan agreed.

Imperial Doctor Li prescribed medicine for Du Zijun, and Bai Shuqin arranged for Qingluan to take care of Du Zijun.

Du Zijun wanted to refuse, he was afraid that Qingluan would take the opportunity to retaliate, thinking of his previous prank on her, he felt empty. However, he was so sick that Bai Shuqin didn't listen to him at all.

After arranging Du Zijun properly, Bai Shuqin went to Baohetang, but who knew that the road was narrow, and he ran into Han Yu halfway.

At this time, Han Yu is no longer the same as in the past, and when he became a national teacher, he even had a lot more pomp. In addition to the two previous followers, there are also two girls who are like flowers.

The two girls, one in pink and the other in green, have delicate features. The girl in pink is more energetic and looks more lively than the girl in green.

Han Yu was wearing a light blue silk robe, his hair was scattered behind him, and he still had that lazy expression on his face.

Several people took up most of the road and walked towards Bai Shuqin.
