She's been thinking about it too much these days.

After thinking about it, I still want to ask tentatively.

Zhang Qiuchi asked with a smile: "Since it is the will of God, how can you still choose?" ”

"Big brother just follow his heart." Zhang Meishou did not relent.

Providence makes people right, but between Providence and the eldest brother, there is still a her.

She's there.

If the eldest brother doesn't want to experience such cruelty, then it's up to her to figure it out.

Even if the idea is a bit self-righteous and unprincipled.

But people have lived in the world for only a few decades, and some people often say that it is rare to be confused, which shows that everyone looks at problems from different angles, and if there is an opportunity to choose life, instead of struggling to accept the unbeautiful things that life imposes on them, once in a while, she thinks it is not impossible.

To put it bluntly, she just relied on her own small means, so she selfishly wanted to ask the people around her to live as satisfactorily as possible.

Seeing that she insisted on asking, Zhang Qiuchi thought seriously for a moment.

"I guess I still want to know." "Facts are facts, even if they are not easy to accept, but they are real," he said. I'd rather live a sober life than I don't know anything. ”

Zhang Meishou heard it in his ears, and there was a trace of surprise in his heart.

She always thought that her eldest brother had a gentle temperament, and he should yearn for a peaceful and quiet life.

But she ignored the word "sober".

"Besides, the road to the sky is endless, that is, the truth makes people, but if you know, you can make plans in advance to think of countermeasures." The corners of Zhang Qiuchi's mouth smiled slightly: "When people live in the world, they will inevitably experience unpleasant things. If you are willing to be concealed from others, after a long time, won't you not be able to withstand even a trace of wind and waves? ”

He added: "Of course, being confused is also a blessing and open-mindedness. However, everyone has their own thoughts, I am just a layman, and I want to enter the government in the future, I want to share my father's worries and solve problems, and I want to seek stability and wealth for our Zhang family - I often feel that my journey is too smooth, and I have less opportunities to sharpen. ”

Zhang Meishou looked at the calm and peaceful but energetic young man in front of him, and his heart welled up with indescribable touch.

Oh, yes.

There are many unsatisfactory things in life, she has the heart to protect the young man behind him and cover him from the wind and rain, but this young man's mind is the same as her - he wants to protect the entire Zhang family behind him, and has the courage and responsibility to regard the ordeal as a grind.

"What about the second sister?" Zhang Qiuchi asked with a smile: "How will you choose to be the second sister?" ”

Zhang Meishou smiled and said without thinking: "My choice is the same as that of my eldest brother." ”

She also wants to live soberly and have the ability to protect herself and the people around her.

It is a blessing to be protected by others, and some people are willing to think about everything for themselves.

But she believes that the most important thing is that she has enough ability and courage.

And there is no contradiction between being protected by others and protecting others.

After listening to her answer, Zhang Qiuchi smiled and said: "It turns out that there is a trace of similarity between me and my second sister. ”

"My eldest brother and I are brother and sister, how can we not be like each other?"

Zhang Qiuchi nodded when he heard this, and the smile on his face became thicker.

"It's a pity that I can't see my brother's high school days." Zhang Meishou said with a smile: "Today, I will replace wine with tea, and I would like to congratulate my eldest brother on being famous on the Yellow List." ”

"The second sister's congratulatory sentence is the first one, no one can compare it early, so what's the pity."

Zhang Qiuchi was not modest, he smiled and picked up the teacup, and the brother and sister raised the cup to drink tea together.

Zhang Meishou smiled in his eyes.

When she came back from Suzhou, the results of the eldest brother's palace examination had already been obtained - at that time, she took the eldest brother to see Tian.

……

The next day, the sky began to lighten.

Early in the morning, a carriage was waiting at the back door of Zhang's house.

With the cooperation of her grandmother, Zhang Meishou's trip out of the door was particularly smooth, and even made her feel a little confident.

"Girl, the villain has already checked, and there is no one outside at this time, so hurry up."

The servant guarding the back door opened the back door as he spoke.

Zhang Meishou, who pretended to be a son, nodded, and crossed the threshold with Ah Li, who was dressed as a little girl and carrying a burden.

There were two people, a man and a woman, guarding the carriage.

Seeing Zhang Meishou come out, both of them saluted respectfully.

"The subordinate's name is Qinglie."

"The maid's name is A-Ying."

The two of them were sent by His Royal Highness to escort the future crown princess out of Beijing.

Looking at the two people in front of him, Zhang Meishou thought of the past life that Zhu Youzhu had mentioned to her before, and he knew it in his heart, so he couldn't help but smile slightly, and nodded: "There are two workers along the way." ”

"The girl has tormented the two of them." Ah Ying hurriedly said: "This is a matter of responsibility, and I can't afford to be a girl with the word labor." ”

As he spoke, he raised his hand to open the carriage curtain for Zhang Meishou, and said: "The maid will serve the girl personally along the way, but the maid is a rough person, if there is negligence, the girl can only scold."

In recent years, she has been nesting in the Xianfu Palace as a rough palace maid, and the errand of serving the future heroine came suddenly, even if she hurriedly found A Qiu to learn the scriptures all night, but in a short period of time, she could not learn it at all.

What's more, when Ah Qiu imparted her experience, she spent most of her time holding her face and praising the future heroine's excessive beauty.

But now that I see it, it's very true.

"Don't worry."

Zhang Meishou was helped into the carriage by her.

Ah Li hurriedly followed, and when she was about to get into the carriage, she patted Ah Ying's chest and whispered, "Don't worry, if you don't understand something, just come and ask me." ”

As long as she can serve a good girl, she won't hide her secrets.

What kind of jealousy and stealing the limelight, as a really powerful and confident big girl, she is too lazy to do such a boring stupid thing.

And the first priority of being a big girl is to serve the master well, and you must not reverse the priorities.

After being stunned for a moment, A-Ying smiled and nodded.

The carriage soon drove out of the hourly Yongfang.

Cotton drove another carriage and followed not far away.

……

Soon it was time for the temple exam.

Like the re-examination, the palace examination was also set up in the Bohol Temple.

Like other tribute students, Zhang Qiuchi was sitting behind the examination at this time, but he looked at everything around him and felt a little strange.

The upholstery in the chair is his favorite indigo blue.

The incense burned in the hall was the magnolia incense that was always available in his study.

At this time, the magpie climbing on the screen temporarily used to separate the holy face, and a few calligraphy and paintings hanging in the hall, are all the works of several calligraphy and painting masters he loves.

Zhang Qiuchi forced himself to retract his gaze.

To put it mildly, he even felt that all this was deliberately testing him...... The more this is the case, the less he can be distracted.

After the examination, the internal supervisor received the examination papers, which were first reviewed by the examiners, and only after discussing with each other and giving evaluations were they presented to Emperor Zhaofeng and the crown prince.
