Chapter 191: Before the Exam

Mrs. Zhu is isolated in front of the Zhu family, specifically, the former Gongshun Hou Mrs. can not be present to witness, she and Mrs. Zhu did not have much friendship, when I heard about Mrs. Zhu's death, I just felt sudden, and I was not interested in getting to the bottom of it, but I still heard about it, because Mrs. Zhu was abandoned by her husband's family, she was isolated in front of her mother's house, even if the accident had not yet come to light, the culprit Wan Guifei did not surface, but the emperor still personally appeased Mrs. Zhu, thinking that the Zhu family was not a goddaughter. It's a pity that Mrs. Zhu made a mistake because of jealousy.

Chungui vaguely understood why Lan Ting resented the foreign family.

It must have something to do with Mrs. Zhu's suicide, and she forced her blood relatives to kill her flesh and blood for the sake of fame and profit, and such accusations are also causally related to this accident.

But Chun Gui couldn't help but think, even if the head of the family, Zhao Taishi, was not in the capital at that time, there was no way to prevent the intervention under the emperor's anger and couldn't help but say that he would punish Mrs. Zhu, but what about the person who was the husband? Why didn't he come out of the way?

Well, Chun Gui thought about it, with her understanding of her father, she shouldn't be able to do anything to resist and disobey his wife's orders, and she wondered why Lan Ting didn't have any resentment towards her father who didn't do anything at all.

Uncle Zhao will never be a foolish descendant, just look at how he usually evaluates his father and uncle, so it is unlikely that it is because of the concept of being a father after all, and he has never protected his mother at all, even if Uncle Zhao is reasonable and considers the factors that are difficult to disobey the monarch's order, he will not turn against his father, but he should not be resentful at all.

Could it be that Uncle Zhao's reasonableness has reached the point of being otherworldly?

No matter how many questions there are, it is not easy to ask at the moment when the spring returns.

Originally, Taizu founded the country, set the examination period in February, until now in power, that the weather has not warmed up in February, candidates burn charcoal at night to keep warm, it is very easy to cause fire, this is not the emperor today, in fact, since the founding of the People's Republic of China, the accident of the Gongyuan fire is not a case, and even in the Yingzong period, there was a tragic accident because of the fire in the Gongyuan that caused more than 90 people to lose the fire!

Setting the spring test date for March was considered by the imperial court to reduce the possibility of fire.

So this matter was decided so happily, so in March this spring, Lan Ting finally took the spring exam.

The day before the exam, he ordered to lock the warm pavilion, in order to show that he would never look at the book again, and in the daytime he took the spring back to the garden, had a good stroll, and was swimming in the lake and enjoying the flowers, and did not want to take the exam at all.

This place may be because it is more secluded, people sit upstairs, and the window is cold.

Chun Gui was very worried that Lan Ting would catch a cold at this critical moment, in case there was a headache and brain fever, and his poor performance would lead to the loss of Sun Shan...... The whole capital has to be shaken, who made Uncle Zhao the favorite to win the championship early? The so-called greater fame, the greater the pressure, there are many talented people who accidentally fell outside the door of the test, although Chun Gui didn't care, but she thought Lan Ting should care.

Don't you see how long it has been since Uncle Zhao won the township test to say easy words?

I couldn't hold back for a while, and Chun Gui asked: "Don't you have as much confidence in this test as you did in the township test?" ”

"You see that, too?"

Under the moonlight, the man's eyebrows looked warmer, and when he asked this, he tilted his face slightly, and the corners of his eyes seemed to have the intersection of lights and moonlight, which was moonlight, diluting the brilliance of the lights

, so that the little light and shadow born from this intersection are brighter than the moonlight and lighter than the lights.

All in all, extremely moving.

"Ugh." Chungui inexplicably issued this response, I don't know if it's negative or affirmative.

Lan Ting smiled slightly: "There are too many changes in the exam, I'm not worried that the examiner still dares to cheat, but even if there is no cheating, except for literary talents, there are also opinions that are important in the strategy, which varies from person to person, and no one is necessarily sure that they will be recognized by the examiner." ”

"Ugh." When he made this inexplicable sound of unknown meaning again, Chungui couldn't help but feel even more embarrassed, and hurriedly remedied: "Huh? ”

Lanting: ......

He stretched out his hand, and suddenly hooked someone's fragrant shoulder and hugged it into his arms, thinking about it and laughing, and said with a smile: "Why does Huihui look more nervous than me?" ”

Chungui was no longer in a hurry because of the closeness of the two, and at this time he just quietly touched the bridge of his nose with his fingers: "I'm really used to seeing the situation of not being confident, and I don't know if you are not sure, so I will follow it." ”

"You don't have to worry, although I am not 10% sure, but there are 50%, and these days' hard work, it will increase by 30%, and the remaining 20% have to be left to fate, but it is also more optimistic than most candidates."

Chungui finally found a comforting word: "In fact, even if you don't know the yuan, it doesn't matter, with your talent, at least the jinshi is captured, and when you go to the Golden Palace, the emperor personally takes the scholar, and you don't want to get the champion is still nine out of ten." ”

Lan Ting bowed his head, but his eyes looked out the window into the distance: "It doesn't matter, but since I have chosen this path, I still can't avoid vulgarity, I hope for perfection, Sanyuan and the first, this starting point is undoubtedly extremely high for the economic career, and it is destined to be easier than others. ”

"Don't think about it......" Halfway through the words, there was no follow-up, and I didn't know if it was appropriate for Chun Gui to ask carefully at this time.

"I want to move faster." Lan Ting took the initiative to respond: "I am the head of the family, and I have inherited all the connections left by my grandfather, but it is not easy to win the hearts and minds of the people, after all, the Taishi Mansion relies on the prestige accumulated over the generations, not violent constraints, if I want to win the hearts and minds of the people, I must be different, so I can't be as steady as others, what I am looking for is a shortcut." ”

It may also be a dangerous road.

But in the last sentence, Lan Ting couldn't bear to say it now, after so much time, he could understand that Chungui's biggest preference is to be lazy and quiet, and some things are now said to increase her burden, so it's better to tell her as appropriate later.

"Yes, I listened to Shu Shimu's tone that day, and she didn't seem to know that she was already the head of the Taishi Mansion." Chungui suddenly thought of something.

Lan Ting smiled: "The position of the head of the Taishi Mansion is not as good as that of the Duke and Earl, it needs to be reported to the imperial court for approval, and then the decree is made public, how can it still be publicized everywhere?" We have an ordinary friendship with the Shen family, if Shu Shimu even knows about this, I have to suspect that the Shen family has an informant in our family. This is just the fact that everyone who should know knows it. ”

Chungui couldn't help but think: It is the emperor who is the honor of the Ninety-Five, and the advertising world has set the grandson as the prince, but there are still so many people who are not convinced, thinking that although Lan Ting was ordered by his grandfather to be the head of the family, not to mention that his grandfather has so many protΓ©gΓ©s, I am afraid that it is an insider of the Zhao family, and it is not so easy to win respect, but he has not yet reached the crown, and I really don't know how much effort he has to make to pacify the clan first.

I thought of one day when my second uncle and grandmother talked about Lan Ting

"Don't think that Brother Ting'er can be different if he is talented, back then, I and your second uncle and grandfather both saw it in our eyes, whether it was Brother Ting'er's father or a few uncles, in short, the children of the city's generation were not so severely supervised by the uncle. Brother Ting from the enlightenment, night and night reading less than three more is not allowed to rest, the uncle three days is a test, but if you answer a wrong word, you have to be punished with a cane, resulting in Brother Ting when he was ten years old determined to be a saint, to a bamboo for seven days and seven nights to learn about things. ”

As a result, nothing "qualified", so Uncle Zhao completely doubted this theory.

Although this is an interesting story and a joke, what cannot be erased is that even if Lan Ting is talented, he has indeed gone through a cold window of hard study, and his hard work is no less than that of the rest of the students, but no matter how you are, the final test result is still to jump over the dragon gate of the imperial examination, otherwise it is not a matter of ten years of talent, nothing is counted and nothing can be proved.

Thinking of these spring returns, he couldn't help but lean closer: "It's really not easy." ”

Lan Ting suddenly felt a warmth in his chest, as if he was already a flat horse in front of him, he gently rubbed the woman's warm forehead with his chin, with a smile in his eyes: "The things that are easy to get in the world are often the least cherished, and it is not easy to be good." ”

Chun Gui struggled out seriously, and patted Lan Ting's shoulder like an elder: "Brother Ting is so ambitious, but it seems to be too shady here, it is not appropriate to stay for a long time at this time, so let's go back and settle down early." ”

She turned around and wanted to leave, but the soles of her feet suddenly stumbled, until she reacted and fell back into someone's arms, Chun Gui realized that she was dragged hard by Uncle Zhao, she was about to protest, and was suddenly attacked, the moonlight lights were suddenly unclear, and only a human face suddenly approached in her sight.

Kiss, still so caught off guard.

This rejuvenation is a little strange, she held Lan Ting's arm, slightly raised her face to bear this sudden intimacy, at first both the breath and the mood were still calm, such closeness almost has nothing to do with **, but if you want to get close to me, I also want to get close to you, like in cold weather, the two of them snuggle up to keep warm, and feeling each other's temperature can make the heart stable and steady.

But slowly, Chun Gui felt that Lan Ting's breath was getting more and more urgent, usually at this time he would always stop kissing, and he slowly calmed down, but today it was clearly different from usual, Chun Gui felt that after he took a deep breath, he resolutely strengthened the offensive, and the tip of his tongue was clear, and somehow he pried open her teeth and launched a plunder that made her flustered.

There is no more cold upstairs in the piano hall.

Chungui even felt that the tip of her heart was suddenly hot and panicked, causing her to subconsciously exert force in her hands, wanting to push away this person who suddenly felt strange to her, too strong and extremely aggressive, and uneasy, but she suddenly heard him shaking muffled again, and the heartbeat that had lost its rhythm suddenly softened.

Tomorrow will be a grim start for him, and it should also be something that needs to be indulged and appeased, this old and serious teenager.

Once this thought was born, it seemed to be out of control, and the area of softness was rapidly expanding, so that almost subconsciously, Chungui made a bold decision.

She began to respond to the kiss.

Lan Ting later suppressed his instinctive impulse with almost red eyes, and he took deep breaths again and again, but his arms still refused to relax the person in his arms.

"I'll take you somewhere after the test."

Later, Chungui heard him say in his ear that on the way back, for some reason, the warmth in his ears has not faded.
