He put the flaming whip around his waist, lifted his internal force, jumped up on the railing of the Nameless Pavilion with his toes, and swept towards the lake, occasionally touching the water with his toes, and after three or four takes, he had already stepped on the wall of the courtyard to the west, jumped off the wall at will, and went to the main house in a sassy manner.

Qingruo waited for Chu Han to have breakfast, and looked in the direction she came from suspiciously, "Little Miss, where are you from?" ”

"I've been walking around, and none of you have seen me, so I have to come back again!" Mu Qingyan flattened his mouth a little aggrieved.

"It's going to be nonsense! Qingzhi, you fetch water to freshen her up; Qinglian, put another pair of dishes and chopsticks. Chu Han's eyes were full of spoiling, and he reached out to gently support Mu Qingyan's long hair, "The illness is not yet well, and it is cold in early spring, so why can't I wear more and come out again." ”

"Auntie, it's good for me to go to the village for a few days today, it's quieter there." Mu Qingyan washed his hands and face, and sat beside Chu Han.

Chu Han took some side dishes and put them on the small plate in front of her, looking at her frosty white face, she was very distressed, "If you want to go, you can go and live for a few days, but the medicine and food have to be brought from home, bring a few more people to serve, and be quiet!" I couldn't help but reach out and touch her face, and the colors that were usually beautiful had faded clean. A woman from a big family, what a blow and pain it is to withdraw from marriage, although Yan'er is tough, she is still a little girl who has never been in the world.

"When my aunt takes care of the affairs of the house in the past few days, I will accompany you." Yan'er's usual liveliness is gone, and it seems that she has grown up in an instant, so big that it makes her feel distressed. "Did you tell Grandpa? Before leaving, I went to talk to my grandfather, so that he would not worry. ”

Mu Qingyan absentmindedly used some porridge and put chopsticks, "Auntie, I'm leaving, I'm going to talk to grandpa." ”

"Well, you have to be obedient, those medicines are prescriptions written by Han'er himself, which are beneficial to you, don't interrupt!" Chu Han solemnly instructed her.

Mu Qingyan answered softly, and did not return to his yard, but entered his grandfather's yard from the back garden.

Leaving Coral and Pearl to watch the house, the four maids all followed into the carriage of Mufu. In less than half an hour, two big cars rushed out of Shuiyue Villa one after the other.

Nangong Yin looked at the familiar carriage, as if he had come to life all of a sudden, he unconsciously raised his internal strength and ran to the front of the carriage, stretched out his arm to stop the carriage, "Yan'er, Yan'er, are you okay to see Brother Yin?" Brother Yin knows it's wrong, can you forgive Brother Yin? Nangong Yin shouted in a hoarse voice.

Amber hurriedly picked up the curtain and stopped Nangong Yin, who was about to forcibly get into the car, "Young Master Nangong, Miss is not in good health, don't scare her!" Amber looked at Nangong Yin's current condition, and was afraid that he would hurt the young lady impulsively.

"Sister Amber, you just let me take a look at the smoke, let me beat and scold me and follow her, please!" No matter how Nangong Yin spoke, between half a month, the person had already lost his weight.

At this time, on the bustling Suzaku Street, because of the divorce between the two houses, it has made people curious.

Mu Qingyan coughed lightly a few times, Nangong Yin was on this carriage with all his heart, and immediately heard it, "Yan'er, your body is important, hit me a few times if you are angry, don't suffocate yourself; Sister Amber, if you let me take a look at her, just take a look! After Nangong Yin finished speaking, she was about to lift the curtain again, Linglong was so angry in the car that she pulled the curtain open and came out, and said angrily: "Master Nangong, you are messing around here regardless of Miss's reputation, have you ever thought about Miss, what face will Miss have in the future?" ”

Nangong Yin was stunned for a while, neither entering, but reluctant to retreat, full of desolation and despair.

Mu Qingyan has been in a panic these days, suffering from gains and losses, and it was not until this morning that he was a little more open. She didn't want to delay here, Nangong Yin's persistent temper she knew best, she was afraid that no one would be able to persuade him at this time, so she sighed helplessly, and persuaded Wen Yan: "Why do you bother, the most talented young master of the dignified Sword Villa, but he is obsessed with one thing, don't you care about your future?" Even if you are willing to give it up, it is also your blood and bones, how can you bear to give him up? I know that you are good in your daily life, but you can't force me to accept these sufferings that I shouldn't have suffered, rather than resenting each other for half my life, it is better to leave from now on, than to have a peaceful house in the future; We are all the children of a big family, and there are not only you and me in this world, but there are many people to worry about. Don't stop me today, I'm not in good health, I want to recuperate for a while, you can go back to the house and be quiet for a few days, don't let me hate you! ”

"Yan'er, I know that I was wrong this time, and I don't dare to ask you for forgiveness." Nangong Yin said in a low voice with a thick apology, her eyes stared at the car curtain tightly, "You don't like your cousin, just send her away, why bother to withdraw from the marriage?" ”

Mu Qingyan was bored and frowned.

Nangong Yin gently persuaded: "If you get married, the rest of your life will be ruined because of this, my cousin and we grew up together, gentle and virtuous, it is better than accepting other concubines......"

Through a curtain, Mu Qingyan coldly stopped him: "My Mu family has never had a concubine, and I don't know the benefits of concubines, please go back!" ”

Nangong Yin heard the frost in her words, and she was no longer powerless to stop her for a while, so she lowered her hand and quietly watched the carriage go farther and farther. When the carriage came out of sight, he could no longer support it, and he slumped to the ground.

The carriage traveled to the north gate, and Mu Qingyan changed into the white robe that Weiyang was used to wearing. It was a little lighter, and the previous robe was much wider on the body. Seeing the opportunity, he slipped out of the carriage and went to the Xicheng mansion, carrying four maids and a cart of supplies out of the north of the city unhurriedly.

Weiyang casually held a jade fracture fan, and the fine silk on the fan surface was painted with the beginning of the snow melting in spring.

Let Sanjiu change and let him wander around the streets and alleys with him. After the royal spring test in March, the martial arts conference will be held in Luochuan, and the beggar gang is the largest gang in the world, and she, the gang leader, is naturally among the invitees.

The capital has been a lot quieter recently, and all the people of the martial arts have set off for Luochuan, and she should set off in ten days.

"How is Luo Chuan preparing? Sanjiu, let's go to that yard again, let's go! "The last time Weiyang went there, she didn't find anything valuable, so she felt a little strange, it couldn't be nothing.

"Our people were in place three months ago and they were all planned. There are a large number of beggars, it is inevitable that the good and the bad are uneven, and there are many people who do evil, so you have to beware of one or two. Sanjiu made up his mind, this time the pavilion master couldn't leave his sight wherever he went.

"The martial arts event once every ten years, I don't know how many people want to take this opportunity to make a name for themselves, I have tolerated the beggars for a long time, and I am a waste with empty tokens, this time I am afraid that I will rebel! Hee-hee, I was just looking to see the fun, the time was just right! Weiyang has been waiting for this day for ten years, and now she has the ability to stand in that supreme position, remove the dirt hidden in the beggar gang for several years, and avenge the seven-fingered beggar.

After dark, he walked around the alley to the inconspicuous courtyard, the moon was dark and the wind was high, and Sanjiu deliberately made a noise to attract the attention of the guards.

"What kind of person, can you come to this courtyard when you wait for dinner?" One shouted loudly.

"Talk nonsense with him, just kill him!" Another gruff voice continued, attacking with a strong internal force.

Sanjiu didn't speak, and walked around the courtyard with the two.

Weiyang covered his face with a black scarf, and he still entered the inner room through the window unconsciously. Holding a night pearl in his palm, he carefully looked at the furnishings in the room through the faint light.

It's not much different from the last time, this ordinary mansion is guarded for twelve hours, not only a bright post, but also a dark post in the distance, and there shouldn't be no important things. A careful search began on the desk in the outer room, but found nothing suspicious; Entering the inner room again, except for the shelf bed, there are a few pieces of furniture that are not complicated.

Weiyang bent his fingers to knock on the walls everywhere, but there was no mezzanine. When the bed board was lifted, the last few ledgers were gone, and a few idle books were flipped through one by one and thrown back. Fly up and look at the top of the bed, empty; She furrowed her brow and turned to walk out.

I was just about to turn over and go out of the window, when I suddenly thought of something and turned back, bent down to look at the bottom of the bed. Although there were no objects, a few of the bricks were smoother than the others, and could never be seen in the daytime, and the light reflected in the darkness at night was more obvious.

Weiyang pulled a tablecloth and spread it on the ground, crawled into it on the ground, and flew straight out to lift the bricks with the internal force of the ruthless brocade, and there was no mechanism. A wooden box with a lock under the brick, Weiyang climbed out with the box, in addition to the ledger I saw last time, there were also a few letters, the paper was yellowed, the ink was submerged, and it was obvious that it had been some years.

Stuffed the contents of the box into his arms, randomly found some books from the table and threw them back under the bricks, covered the bricks, ran to the window in a few steps, silently climbed out of the window, folded onto the roof, jumped off the wall and went out of the small courtyard from the side.

After watching Weiyang leave, Sanjiu pretended to be invincible to the two, sold a flaw and narrowly escaped, and then fled.

Weiyang went back to the mansion first, and after a while, he returned to himself, and when he entered the door, he saw Weiyang looking at the letters, and his face was very ugly. After reading more than a dozen letters, Weiyang stood at the window without saying a word, Sanjiu picked up the letter and went to see, it was indeed written to Elder Lin of the Beggar Gang, and the content was all threats, starting from when the Seven-Fingered Beggars were poisoned.

The letter was unsigned, neatly written, and looked like a well-educated person.

"Sleep, let's go back to Bishui Manor tomorrow and discuss it again!" Weiyang's voice was lazy, and he couldn't hear any emotion.

Sanjiu turned around and went out, and soon came back to bring back some food. Weiyang was lying in a room on the east side, listening to him knock on the door, but he didn't answer, and Sanjiu went to sleep.

After dawn, Weiyang got up, still wearing yesterday's Yunjin white robe. When I came out of the inner room and smelled the aroma of porridge, I suddenly felt a little hungry, and I had not eaten since lunch yesterday.

Sijiu saw her get up, waited for her to wash up, put the meat porridge, and put the steamed buns, and the three of them sat around the front of the hall and ate breakfast. Sijiu got off the horse, and Weiyang only got on the horse and left first.

Sanjiu and Sijiu both got on their horses and went to the north of the city after half a moment.

On the third day of the first month of March, the spring test began.

The literary examination lasted for six consecutive days, the first three days of the primary election, one hundred and eight students out of one thousand and eight students were selected to enter the second examination, on the fourth day, thirty-six people were selected from one hundred and eight people to enter the palace examination, and on the fifth day, twelve were selected from thirty-six people to enter the final imperial examination.

Enter the palace gate to the east, there is an imperial examination hall through the Yuyue Gate, at this time the civil and military officials are neatly arranged on the main hall, the emperor has one hand on his back, one hand in his hand, and the twelve candidates are seated, listening respectfully.

There are two rows of exam desks, with six people each. Today's exam question is 'Yeguo, Peaceful World', and the time is two hours. Students only write the numbers drawn in advance, and they are not allowed to write their names, and the emperor will read the papers in person.

A student in a green shirt on the far left of the second row wrote at the end of the article: "Only those who win the hearts of the people can win the world, do not abandon the idea of governing the country, and always tolerate the will of help, so that thousands of living beings can worship the light of the leader, and the heart is the only one who will not cause trouble, for a long time!" ”

When the time comes, the vivid face of the article is bright; The author was depressed, and the students in the green shirts handed in the test papers and retreated to the side hall with the flow of people, their faces were calm, and they did not see any nervousness.

The emperor personally looked at the twelve articles in the main hall, selected the number and did not make a noise, called the prince and the prince and the ten civil officials of the university to come forward to choose together, and wrote the selected number on the paper, and the chief examiner of the spring court collected the number and reported it to the emperor.

Qin Xiangguo and Taifu Yu Weichong became the invigilators of the imperial examination.

The chief examiner is the champion Yue Jun who was personally appointed by the emperor that year, this person is not only heroic in appearance, but also outstanding in writing, and has a clean breeze on both sleeves, and has the name of a cold-faced judge; Thirty one, last year because of the governance of the Biting Mansion was promoted to the Beijing official, by the emperor personally ordered the spring to take the main examination.

Half an hour later, the final ranking came out, and it was listed on a piece of paper and presented to the emperor by Yue Jun himself.

The first place is seven, the second is one, and the third is nine. There is no difference between the top three and the emperor's selection, so he took up the cinnabar pen and personally counted the rankings, and the eunuch handed it over to Yue Jun to announce.

Twelve students were recruited into the main hall, Yue Jun counted the number, and the students took a step forward in response with the drawn number in their hands, and compared it with the number on the test paper, there was no difference, and then the ranking was announced.

The first place is No. 7, the capital of the East gallop.

The second place is No. 1, Wujun Deng Yuzhi.

The third place is No. 9, Gangneung He Menghua.

Qiu Yeting of the Taishi Mansion won the fifth place, and the man in the green shirt with outstanding demeanor was defeated.

On the ninth day of the first month, the martial arts test began.

This year's martial arts test is different from previous years, and there is another arrangement in addition to the single competition. It also lasted six days to determine the top three.

Xiang Tianqi won the first place with his bravery and bravery, Ye Heng second, and Wei Xiangdong third.

Qin Yan was ordered to be the chief examiner, and the top three in the martial arts test were all under his account.
