Concubine De is not a stupid person, how could she not know what she was thinking, and said, "You must be wondering why I sent Brother Huai to you again, right?!" ”

was said by her, Lin Mei had no choice but to nod in acknowledgement.

I was about to hear her explanation, but I saw her Huo Ran get up, staring at the incense burner on the table with a cold face, trying her best to control the anger in her heart.

"When I was a child, the imperial doctors in the palace said that Uncle Heng Wang's weakness and childlessness were due to congenital deficiencies, and it was really hard to live. But once, my sixth brother and I played hide and seek together, hiding in the cave under the rockery, and accidentally learned a shocking big secret, the reason why Uncle Heng Wang had no children was caused by the poisoning of the Queen Mother. At that time, we were so scared that neither of us dared to mention it. But at that time, because he was young and was favored by the emperor, he slowly forgot about it. ”

"In order to find out who is behind the scenes, the sixth brother took a lot of effort, and accidentally discovered that the poison in King Heng had an acquaintance with the poison on the sixth brother, and Mu Ran remembered the secret he overheard back then."

When Lin Mei heard this, she frowned and said in surprise: "Could it be the Queen Mother?" ”

Concubine De said: "There is no evidence yet, but it can't be involved, this matter is too big a blow to the sixth brother, thinking that the sixth brother is so young but can't live to be thirty, I ...... The more I think about it, the more afraid I am of ......, Brother Huai was born with my hard work, a piece of meat that fell from my body, and the people in the palace are like wolves, jackals, tigers and leopards, I can't throw him in front of the tiger's mouth at a young age. ”

A thousand words can't tell the helplessness of being lost, Concubine De can't afford to gamble, and she doesn't dare to bet.

At this time, Lin Mei completely figured out why King Qi suddenly changed his mind, obviously he was sure of the throne, so he dragged it like this, and brought the divine doctor into the palace to hang the emperor's life. If it were him, he would definitely check the water and find out, and then take revenge one by one. Since it is related to the Queen Mother, it is most relieving to use King Qi's temper to exchange teeth for teeth and eyes for eyes. Now whether it is the emperor or the eldest prince, they are all blood relatives of the queen mother, so that she can watch their father and son kill each other, which is equivalent to cutting their flesh with a sharp blade, and they will not get a drop of blood when they are in pain.

The incense burner in the house rose faintly, and after staying for a long time, the fragrance of clothes lingered, lingering for a long time.

Lin Mei racked her brains and comforted Concubine De for a long time.

"Look at me, I mentioned these unpleasant things, tell me about you."

However, Concubine De's chuckle couldn't hide the panic in her eyes, knowing that she was a human being, she would definitely be able to rot these appalling secrets in her stomach.

Lin Mei retracted her mind and returned a smile in a blink of an eye, "I'm fine, and I'm planning to open a restaurant in this bustling capital......"

"I guessed this a long time ago, so I prepared a big gift for you, and Xie Huai will send someone to the Lin Mansion in a while." Concubine De smiled confidently.

opened the restaurant, Lin Mei didn't even notice King Qi's side, how did she guess it?!

Lin Mei raised her eyebrows and said tentatively: "You guessed it a long time ago?!" Could it be that the prince told the mother? ”

"They all said they were guesses, don't you believe it?!" Concubine De glanced at her and explained: "This time, the Fan family also has a few children for reference, and my grandmother sent someone into the palace to say that she wanted me to find a good errand for them." It just so happened that Xie Huai was in the ministry, so he asked him to get a list of the winners, only to know that your brother Lin Shan was also on the list. I was thinking of finding an errand for your brother in the sixth department by the way, but when I inquired, you were also in Beijing. ”

"Seriously!" Lin Mei heard that Lin Shan was also on the list, so she stood up excitedly, and she didn't hear what she said later.

This news came too suddenly, you must know that you have studied hard for ten years, and some students even need decades to pass the exam. When Lin Shan came out of the exam, he was listless, as if he had lost a layer of skin, and he didn't mention it, so everyone didn't ask. Now that she knew it in advance, Lin Mei excitedly folded her hands and chanted "Amitabha, Bodhisattva bless".

Unexpectedly, Lin Mei's move pleased Concubine De, and she wanted to make fun of her.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door.

Time flies quickly, an hour is coming in a blink of an eye, and it is obviously impossible to talk slowly.

Concubine De's smiling face instantly converged, and she sighed as if she had changed her face, with a sad face: "The hour is almost up, I have to rush back to the palace." It's just that the next time we meet, I don't know what year or month it will be, and Brother Huai will ask you for it. ”

"There is endless love in missing, although it is difficult to see each other, there is always a time! Don't worry, Brother Huai, I will treat him like a son, and you have to take care of yourself. ”

The sadness of parting diluted the joy of the reunion, and when Concubine De got up and was about to leave, a sudden flash flashed in her mind, and a thought rushed into her heart. I wanted to say it, but I felt that the timing was wrong, so I just patted her hand and smiled meaningfully.

Afraid that the matter of leaving the palace would be known, Lin Mei watched Concubine De get into a cyan carriage from the backyard.

Lin Shan and the others, who stayed at the Hanging Flower Gate, waited anxiously until Lin Mei walked out unharmed.

The stone in the hearts of the people fell to the ground.

Lin Mei glanced at the poor master who was still guarding the weeping flower hall, and suddenly wondered if the revision of the official department still called the poor master?

"Big brother is alright?"

Lin Mei nodded at him, then shook her wide sleeves, reached out and took out a purse, and saluted with a fist at the cha ye: "The two eldest brothers are tired, these silver taels are a little filial piety." ”

After speaking, he respectfully handed over the purse.

The poor master at the door glanced at each other, and his face showed a little smile, and one of them laughed and said: "Even if the son is kind, the little one will accept it." When we get out of this door, we act as if we've never seen each other. ”

"That's nature."

After Lin Mei finished speaking, she left with everyone who still couldn't figure out what was going on.

At the time of the unitary, Lin Mei received an ebony brocade box sent by Xie Fu, and the deed of Fan Lou was lying in it.

……

On the day of the release of the list, not only Lin Shan, Lin Mei's sisters and brothers, but even Lin Feng took Lin Hui to watch the list together, just to make him feel empathy at a young age.

Although Lin Mei had already gotten the news, she couldn't help but confirm it in person.

In black and white, the four-meter-long spring list, Lin Shan's name is impressively ranked 86th in the second grade.

"Hit, hit." Lin Shan jumped up excitedly, and said loudly: "Sister, do you see, I'm hit!"

The people around were busy congratulating when they heard this.

Lin Mei didn't stop drinking, he was happy, and when he turned around, he saw a smiling face that shouldn't have appeared here in the distance.

"Congratulations," Luo Sicheng was sitting on the soft sedan chair and said with a hippie smile.

Lin Mei glanced at his legs and said suspiciously, "Didn't you say that you won't participate in this Spring Festival?" Why is it here again? ”

Luo Sicheng patted the sedan chair, made someone help him down, and said with a smile: "I didn't want to come, but as soon as you leave, I regret it, think about what you said is right, if you miss this time, you have to wait another three years, it's better to fight, in case you win!" ”

The corners of Lin Mei's mouth twitched, and she couldn't cry or laugh: "But you hit?" ”

An optimistic person has always had good luck, perhaps because of his innate nature, or because of the blessing of immortality.

Luo Sicheng raised his chin and raised his head towards the spring list: "Thanks to you, I am fortunate to come, although the ranking is not good, but I am in the middle of it." ”

Looking at his proud appearance, Lin Mei only felt that he was a little itchy at this moment, and said leisurely: "Your leg, let's talk about it after the release of the brown test."

In the Tang Dynasty, he became a jinshi, just to obtain the qualification to be an official. Formal awards, must be re-examined by the Ministry of Officials, Chinese-style people are awarded official positions, and those who fail must re-try after three years. Officials below the sixth rank are selected by the ministry, and officials above the fifth rank are appointed after consultation with the prime minister and the approval of the emperor.

However, there are four criteria for the interpretation test: body, speech, writing, and judgment.

Among them, "body" ranks first, which is also the reason why Lin Mei couldn't help but hit him.
