The events of the temple examination were quickly spread because of the large number of people present.

After Mu Heyun heard this, he inquired carefully about people without a trace, and then returned to the Hou Mansion with a heavy heart.

At night, I couldn't help but say to my wife: "This Chongning is really too bold!" ”

"What did he do?" Shen Mei's hand combing his hair paused slightly, and he turned his head and asked.

The feelings of the two couples towards Xie Chongning are quite complicated. On the one hand, because of Mingzhe's self-preservation, he felt guilty for his neglect of upbringing; On the other hand, I really don't like his gloomy temperament. When Xie Chongning left the house, they were indeed relieved, but they couldn't ignore it. I also thought that if he was not doing well, they could secretly help. But in the blink of an eye, the kid had reached the point where they couldn't help.

Mu Heyun sighed, "The cabinet was responsible for the admission of this palace examination, and I heard that they did not take Chongning, so I guess I think he is too young and want him to stay for another three years." Unexpectedly, after the palace examination, the emperor suddenly came, asked Chongning a few words, and appointed him as a jinshi, and allowed him to go to Guozijian to study as an assistant teacher, and gave him a mansion. Look at this...... Alas......"

Shen Mei listened, and his face couldn't help but change a few times.

Although she is in the back house, she is not ignorant of foreign affairs. In the past ten years, there have been frequent wars at the border gates, and the first emperor has done nothing, indulged in wine, and even the authority is controlled by the cabinet. Now that the new emperor has only been on the throne for two years, he is young and ambitious, and naturally refuses to be a puppet with no real power. But the cabinet was unwilling to let go of the meat that reached its mouth, so the two sides in the court confronted each other from time to time.

Judging from the current situation, it is natural that the cabinet is still more powerful, and at this time, it is favored by the emperor, but I am afraid that it will not be allowed by the ministers.

Hou Ye should be worried about this matter.

Shen Mei looked at Mu Heyun, who was frowning, and thought: "I don't think Chongning is bold, but the emperor's side, Tai Ban is deliberately fighting with the elders of the pavilion by taking advantage of this move." In fact, although this has its disadvantages, it is not entirely bad. ”

She combed her long hair lightly and said slowly: "Chongning won the Huiyuan, if there was no big mistake in the palace test, it should not have been missed." Elder Yang Ge and the others pressed down on his quota just to make room for their own students. If there is no emperor's hand-picking, Chongning will fall to the top, and the people next to him will discuss it, wouldn't it be even worse for his reputation. In my opinion, this is not bad now, anyway, the emperor sent him to study in the country, and he is not really a scholar, and those cabinet bosses in the court will not worry about him as a half-old child. As long as he studies peacefully, after a long time, everyone naturally will not have to think that he is from the emperor's side. ”

As for how to make a decision in the future, we can wait until after the real appearance.

With her words, Mu Heyun's expression softened a lot, and finally twisted his beard and jaws and said, "What Madame said is reasonable, these words are quite insightful. ”

Shen Mei pursed his lips and smiled, and said lightly: "What you can't see, I just think about it, if you think it's reasonable, don't worry about it, I can see that I will also worry about it." ”

Mu Heyun smiled, and then sighed: "After all, I hope that Chongning can live peacefully." But then he raised his eyebrows again, "But don't let the rumors know about him!" ”

Shen Mei sneered, "It's up to you to say this." ”

The girl is stupid, her heart is still soft, and she is not a person from Xie Chongning at all, thinking about what he does.

……

Luanping Hou and his wife didn't want Mu Yu to come into contact with Xie Chongning-related news again, but there were always times when things went wrong.

On this day, Mu Yu had lunch and was taking a nap.

Biyue suddenly hurried into the house and approached her to report: "Miss, I just went to the front yard to find someone, and I saw Young Master Ning coming to the house." ”

Hearing this, Mu Yan opened his eyes violently, lowered his voice and said, "Can you be sure?" ”

Biyue responded: "Although Young Master Ning is wearing a cloak to cover his head, but the slave maid happens to see his side face, it must be that Young Master Ning will not be wrong." ”

"Why did he come here all of a sudden?" Mu Yu muttered to himself, and obviously didn't want others to know that it was him. Went to the front yard...... That's looking for her father?

Something must have happened, right?

Thinking of this possibility, Mu Yu's heart fluttered violently.

I thought that he would be able to enjoy peace in the future if he went out of the house to take the exam, and if he had a future, he would be able to enjoy peace in the future, how could he have thought that variables would come so quickly!

Mu Yu couldn't lie down anymore, so he put on his shoes and walked to the front yard with Biyue.

At first, she walked in a hurry, but as soon as she walked quickly to the moon cave door, she hesitated again. Her father should be meeting with Boss Xie now, even if she goes now, the next person will not let her in.

I can't say that it will alarm her father, thinking that she had promised her mother that she would not ask about Big Guy Xie again, Mu Yao had a retreat at his feet.

was hesitating, when suddenly there seemed to be a sound of the door in the front yard, Mu Yu was excited, and hurriedly pulled Biyue to hide behind the bushes by the side of the house wall. From this angle, you can see a small section of the front yard view, and at least people can come in and out.

Mu Yu unconsciously held her breath, and then she heard the man's whisper, although she couldn't hear what she was saying, she could already conclude that it was indeed Big Guy Xie. Without him, she was all too familiar with his voice.

Looking nervously at the front yard, after a while, sure enough, two people passed by that short section of the yard one after the other, and they could only have a glimpse, but for some reason, the person wearing the cloak behind him suddenly stopped when he walked over and looked back.

Mu Yu was so frightened that she quickly lowered her head, and when she raised her face again, the other party was gone.

She looked at the open space a little stunned, and said in her heart: The one wearing the cloak should be Big Guy Xie, and after looking at his back from a distance, he seems to have grown taller...... Anyway, why did she bow her head, it doesn't matter if she is seen, right? Probably......

After thinking about it for a while, Mu Yu was gently helped up by Biyue, "Miss, the people are gone, let's go back." ”

"Hmmm......"

Mu Yu responded weakly and returned to Qinchun Garden.

Compared with her listlessness, Xie Chongning, who had just left the Hou Mansion, had a slight smile in his eyes.

After the New Year, she grew a year older, but the little girl's courage did not grow. It was obvious that she was coming for him, but when he did, she shrank her head like a quail. It's a pity that he didn't see much at a glance in an instant, and he wondered if she was more like a big girl?

There is a slight regret in my heart, but ...... Xie Chongning reached out and stroked the small purse in his sleeve, and quickly put that little thought away. There are still many opportunities in the future, and he has more important things to do at the moment.

……

I didn't see Mr. Xie, and I didn't ask why he came, Mu Yu was very disappointed.

When she went to the upper room in the afternoon to learn from the girl, it took a lot of effort to hide her expression, and she didn't let her shrewd mother see the clues.

It wasn't until she finished her studies that she let out a long sigh of relief.

"Miss, are you tired?" Qionglan asked worriedly.

Mu Yu walked forward and waved his hand, "It's nothing, it's just a little boring." After a pause, she added, "If you don't want to go back, accompany me to the garden." ”

It's almost April, the weather is much warmer, people have changed their light dresses, and the flowers in the garden are a little more delicate.

Mu Yu admired the flowers in a variety of shapes, and unconsciously walked near the pavilion.

Looking around, she suddenly saw Changxiu who was about to pass by, and she couldn't help but smile and call.

Hearing this, Changxiu hurriedly came over to say goodbye.

Since the last time she helped, Mu Yu had a good impression of her, and helped the person up and said, "Are you busy?" ”

Changxiu shook her head honestly, "The slave is not busy, but she feels that her house is empty, so she wants to come to the garden to see if there are any fallen flower branches, so I can pick one up and put it back to make a possette, and smell the fragrance of this flower." ”

Mu Yu smiled, "The fallen branches are hard to find, why don't you talk to me, and I'll send you fresh ones." ”

"Miss let the slave and maid accompany her, that is the honor of the slave and maid, how can you ask for it." Changxiu said with a straight look, making people want to laugh.

Mu Yu took her to the pavilion, turned her head and ordered: "Qionglan, you go and find beautiful and smelling flower branches." ”

Joan Lan answered.

Mu Yu sat down at this time, and beckoned Changxiu to sit down, seeing that she was a little afraid to sit down, he said: "Sit down, it's okay, I have to look up at you if I can't speak." ”

Changxiu sat down next to the stool in shame.

Mu Yu raised his elbow and asked her with interest, "Last time I heard Lan Yuan subdue those two mothers-in-law, seeing that your hands and feet are so neat, have you learned some fist and foot kung fu?" ”

"Where do slaves have the opportunity to learn boxing and foot kung fu." Changxiu smiled embarrassedly: "When I was young, I followed the eldest brother in the family and often played naughty with the neighbors who were looking for trouble, and after a long time, my hands and feet fell neatly." ”

Mu Yu sneered, it turned out that people had practiced in actual combat, no wonder.

Changxiu spoke bluntly, asked her anything, and she told the truth. If it is left in the world of Mu Yu, it is called "its own cute point". In short, chatting with her was very interesting, and then the two chatted and chatted, and somehow they talked about Xie Chongning.

Changxiu showed an admiring expression, "Young Master Ning is really amazing, he actually passed the Jinshi examination." I heard that the emperor ordered it himself! Although he is studying in that country now, he will definitely become an official in the future. ”

Mu Yu was stunned for a moment, and muttered: "The Jinshi appointed by the emperor? Now studying in Guozijian? ”

Changxiu nodded, "People outside are spreading it like this, I think it should be true." And I also saw Young Master Ning in the mansion that day......"

Hearing this, Mu Yu's eyes lit up immediately, this is really effortless, she is worried about how to inquire about this, but she doesn't want to have an insider in front of her, it seems that she is the same as Biyue, gossiping a lot.

Very good, very good.

Seeing that she didn't continue, Mu Yu said quietly: "Then do you know what Brother Ning is doing when he comes back?" ”

Changxiu also whispered back, "The slave maid said, Miss don't tell the lady to punish the slave maid." This is also something I accidentally heard from the steward in the front yard. ”
