"Then you still need to ask, His Royal Highness the Prince!"

"That's right!" The man said proudly: "It is precisely because it is presided over by the crown prince, and now the situation in the government and the opposition has changed, and the criminal ministers of the Xiang family and the Bai family have been beheaded all over the house. ”

As soon as these words came out, the people around were silent for a long time, and for a long time, someone tentatively said: "Could it be that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince still has to make any moves?" ”

"Just know it in your heart!" The person who had just revealed the news hurriedly said: "Be careful when you talk about it!" ”

"Is this news true for you?" Someone didn't believe it.

"Of course!" The person who revealed the news was triumphant: "My family has relatives who are officials in the capital!" This can be wrong! ”

"Then it seems that your son-in-law is a little sure?" Someone was slightly mocking.

"You can't talk nonsense!" Another candidate's family said, "The prince personally presides, who dares to make any moves?" I heard that the examiners are all teachers of the capital Guozijian, and the people of this Liyi School are just a messenger at most. ”

Qingwan listened to everyone's discussions, and her mood was much more relaxed, since it is impossible to have a mastermind behind the scenes, with Hanguan's talent, it should be nine out of ten!

However, she also added a little uneasiness, although she knew better than anyone else about the affairs of the Xiang family and the Bai family, but the conversation between the people was not unreasonable. The situation in the government and the opposition is complicated, the fall of Xiang Bai, the urgent selection of the crown prince, I don't know what happened in the political situation?

The only thing she is worried about is Lu Yanyi, the situation is complicated, if she is not careful, there will be unimaginable consequences.

No, when she arrived at the county seat in the evening, she would bring a letter to Lu Yanyi and ask him if there was anything wrong with him now.

Qingwan left the crowd, found a nearby teahouse, borrowed a pair of pen, ink, paper and inkstone from the proprietress, and hurriedly wrote a short message. After folding it and putting it in the bag, I hurried to Rosewood again.

At the entrance of Rosewood Zhai, there are still many guests, and it seems that there are more people than the last time.

The guy at the door already recognized her and knew that he couldn't wait for her, so he smiled when he saw her: "Miss Qing, you're here!" Our shopkeeper is waiting for you! The small ones will take you in. ”

Qingwan didn't say anything, and followed the guy inside.

The shopkeeper had obviously been waiting there for a long time, so he hurriedly stood up and greeted warmly: "Miss Qing, sit down!" Someone happened to bring a bag of good tea today, please try it! ”

Qingwan sat down slowly and said, "We are all old friends, so you don't have to be polite." Look at this one, right? ”

"Yes, yes, can this be wrong?" The shopkeeper is a veteran of the rivers and lakes, although he said so, his eyes quickly glanced at the open baggage, confirmed that it was correct, and then laughed and said, "Can I still not believe Miss Qing?" ”

After speaking, he hurriedly called the young man: "Why don't you wrap it up and send it inside?" Slow down! Hands and feet are light! If there's anything missing, see how I clean you up! ”

The young man, Nono, continued to speak, as if holding a treasure, and carefully put the makeup in.

Tea was served here, and the shopkeeper asked Qingwan to taste it one after another: "This is the Junshan Silver Needle!" ”

Qingwan thought about Hanguan, took two sips, and stood up: "I still have something to do, please bring the silver to the shopkeeper, I have to go." ”

"Okay, good," the shopkeeper was obviously prepared, and immediately took out a letter of silver: "Please ask the girl to order it." ”

"No, I naturally trust the shopkeeper." The silver had already been obtained, and Qingwan had no intention of staying, so he put it in his bag and put it away.

In front of the store, it was full of customers, and I could hear the eager voice: "Are there any new cosmetics?" I came to the queue early in the morning! ”

"Didn't you say that there was a new product today? Why hasn't it come by this time? It can't lie to us, right? ”

"I waited for this makeup, but I came all the way from the capital, you can't let me go back like this!"

"This sister, are you from the capital?"

"Yes, now this new cosmetics in your state is in demand in the capital, and everyone uses it and says it's good, no, my daughter will get married next month, so I have to use this, didn't I come to buy it on purpose?"

Someone else said, "What's so strange about that? I often come to this Rosewood Zhai to buy things, and recently since his family has put on new cosmetics, there is an endless stream of people from provincial and state cities, all of whom come to buy it. ”

"What good things are not in the capital? Will you come to us to buy cosmetics? ”

"You don't know, don't look at the capital so big, but there has never been such a makeup, and the effect is particularly good, and now it is difficult to find high-ranking officials and nobles!"

"I don't know how the boss of this Rosewood Zhai got this recipe, but he made a fortune!" There was a voice of envy in the crowd.

"Hmph, what!" Someone else said contemptuously, "It wasn't developed by the boss of this Rosewood Zhai at all, if he had these two hands, he wouldn't have become the richest man in the state city?" I've heard that this is the boss's purchase from someone else! ”

"Really?" A sigh when the crowd is neutral? "Who has such a great ability? How can such a good thing be developed? ”

"So where do we know? The boss of Rosewood Zhai would have blocked this news a long time ago! ”

"Hey, if this person can open the door by himself, he may also make a fortune!"

Qingwan listened to everyone's discussions, and the corners of her lips couldn't help but draw a trace of arc: It won't be long before you have to go to the capital to buy it!

Qingwan left Rosewood Zhai and still went to the School of Etiquette. At this time, it was close to noon, and Qingwan found a tea house nearby and used some snacks casually. Fortunately, the environment of this tea house is quiet, and the elegant seat on the second floor can overlook the school below.

When the time came, the gate opened on time. The young students who have experienced a baptism have come out one after another. The expressions on everyone's faces are different, ranging from joy to excitement to frustration.

As soon as Qingwan saw her brother come out, she immediately went downstairs, looking at Hanguan who was rushing with joy on her face, she suddenly felt that her heart was relieved.

"Second sister! I'm sure I'll get in! You can rest assured! Hanguan hugged her, and his excitement was beyond words.

My brother has always been a person with a calm temperament, and since he said so, it seems that he must be quite sure today.

"That's good," Qingwan was also happy: "I said you can do it!" When will the results be available? ”

"Three days later!" Hanguan pulled her and left, "Let's go back quickly, when we get to the county seat, call the second brother, let's celebrate!" ”

"I haven't released the results yet, so I'm going to celebrate in advance?" Qingwan smiled and nodded his forehead: "It seems that it is really no problem!" ”

"That's natural!" Hanguan raised his head and said proudly: "Even the gentleman who took the exam praised me!" ”

"Mr. Examiner?" Qingwan hurriedly asked, "How many are there?" ”

Hanguan thought for a while: "One chief examiner, four deputy examiners, I heard that they are all from the capital Guozijian!" ”

"What did the gentleman praise you for?"

"The examiner said that the writing and answers are good, and the future is gratifying." Hanguan said, with a little doubt: "What else do you say that this son can be taught, and when he arrives in Chengtian Palace in the future, he must be a useful talent of the master." Second sister, what does this mean? Where is Chengtian Palace? ”

Hearing this, Qingwan couldn't help but move in her heart, she heard Lu Yanyi say that Chengtian Palace was where the prince lived.

From this point of view, if he can be selected this time, he will indeed become the prince's arm.

"Chengtian Palace is the residence of the prince," Qingwan said solemnly: "Hanguan, the second sister asked you, if you are allowed to enter the court as an official and assist the prince, can you be competent?" ”

This question was too sudden, Hanguan couldn't react for a while, and after thinking for a long time, he solemnly replied: "Second sister, this is my ambition, the boy is ambitious in all directions, studying in order to assist the country and the people, I will definitely be a Qing official who thinks about the people and leaves a name in history!" ”

Hearing this, Qingwan couldn't help but feel a burst of relief, and unconsciously, her younger brother had really grown up. He is no longer the little kid who only knows how to play or bury his head in reading, he has grown into a man.

However, Qingwan's mood was not so relaxed.

She is not clear about the situation between the DPRK and China. Although the current emperor is quite old, the crown prince is rich in the Spring and Autumn Period, and most of the people in the world are on the side of Chengtian Palace, but how can she understand this complicated and treacherous court matter?

In an instant, she felt a layer of worry in her heart, and she didn't know if it was the right choice to let her younger brother be admitted to the Talent Department.

Although Hanguan is good at school, he is a kind person, once he enters the court, can he be at ease?

Thinking of the battle between Lu Yanyi and the Bai family a few days ago, with swords and swords, nine deaths, her back couldn't help but ooze cold sweat, she didn't want her younger brother to have that kind of life, she just hoped that the family could be safe and happy.

"Second sister, what do you want?" Hanguan saw that she was stunned, and couldn't help but call.

Qingwan woke up from her contemplation and shook her head, feeling that she might be thinking too much. Either way, the first step has been taken, and they have no choice but to keep going.

"Second sister asks you again, if you enter the court to become an official, you will have to intrigue, and there will be no such peaceful days, are you willing?"

Hanguan did not hesitate this time, and said decisively: "No matter what, I will stick to the path I chose." Which of the ancients did not go through hardships to achieve great deeds? Reading should govern the country and level the world, otherwise, what kind of man is it? ”

"Okay," Qingwan smiled, "Sister admires you." With your words, I will be relieved in the future. ”

"Second sister, what's wrong with you today? Endless questions? Hanguan smiled: "Let's go, it's not early, I can't wait to see the second brother right away!" ”

Qingwan also let go of her thoughts just now, looking forward to this sister-brother meeting.

By the time we arrived at the county seat, it was already completely dark.
