"Lord Zou, Xia Guan Jue seems to be better."

Yu Youtai's status has always been very special when he was in the Hanlin Academy, not only because he was the champion of Enke, but also because of the inexplicable background behind him.

Zou Jincai's feelings about this colleague have always been a little complicated, envious, disdainful, and understanding.

Because this emotion is a little complicated, he has always kept a little distance from Yu Youtai.

When the test paper was handed in front of him, Zou Jin couldn't help but give face, so he had to bow his head and read it carefully.

"This one is not bad, and it can be ranked second."

Second, and that's the response he gave.

Yu Youtai only looked at him indifferently, those eyes seemed to be able to directly penetrate the flesh and skin to read his inner thoughts, Zou Jincai was slightly cramped, and suddenly stood up and walked out of Jukui Hall.

"Lord Yu, this time Xie Yuan has already been decided, no matter how amazing the article is, it can only be the second, understand?"

A magistrate who was going to go to Gong suddenly came to Yu Youtai's side, dropped such a sentence and hurriedly went out.

Yu Youtai's eyebrows furrowed slightly, and he had already settled down before the end?

He suddenly thought of what Qu Qingyan said when he begged him for protection before: The student met someone in the teahouse today, and he asked the student if he was interested in buying the exam questions for this autumn festival......

Qu Qingyan didn't know how to float back to the courtyard, after the first two exams, she could still eat hard, take a shower and then fall asleep, after this one, the big stone in her heart could finally land, the taut strings were suddenly released, and she felt extremely tired both in her brain and body.

I slept deeply for a day and a night, and then I was awakened from hunger.

She originally wanted to stay in Jinan Mansion until mid-September, and then return to the capital after the release of the big list, but there was Zong Zirong, and after discussing with Qu Wenhai, she decided to return to the capital first after the end of the autumn season.

In the days when the list is released, she will come to Jinan again.

The only thing she can rely on now in Jinan Mansion is Yu Youtai, and this not reliable backer will still be in the Gongyuan in January in the future and will not be able to come out.

The people sent by Qu Fu to pick her up had already arrived at Jinan Mansion on August 16, Qu Wenhai was a little more concerned, and sent two carriages and a few brave subordinates, who were all arranged by Qianshan in the small courtyard they had rented before.

On August 18, Qu Qingyan left a letter for Yu Steward to pass it to Yu Youtai, the letter was a variety of words of gratitude, she returned to Jinan this time to gamble, and the gambling luck was also gambling on Yu Youtai's personal relationship with Qu Bozhong and Qu Wenhai.

The autumn has passed, and now that I think back on it, I should have been thrilling and urgent everywhere, and I walked very calmly because of Yu Youtai's compassion.

This kindness, she can only remember it now, and one day in the future, she will have the strength to take charge of herself and repay it with interest.

On the carriage back to the capital, Qu Qingyan was asleep all the way, and when she completely relieved the fatigue of the end and woke up, the carriage had arrived at the outskirts of Beijing.

"Fourth young master, before leaving, the old lady specially explained that you should stay in Tongxian for two days, and wait for the third young master to rush back from Kaifeng before entering Beijing together."

Does it matter if you enter Beijing together or not? Qu Qingyan nodded noncommittally, and the coachman drove the carriage into Tongxian.

Her eyes fell on the bustling crowd on both sides of the road, a heart is unprecedentedly calm, the autumn has passed, as long as she can be lifted this time, no one will be able to stop her in the spring of the coming year.

Thinking of the waiter of the Ministry of Rites and the priest of the country, she subconsciously thought of what Yang Jianxian said in the private room of Wangxian Tower before.

That dream was intermittent, and she didn't know what happened to her in her previous life, when she was found to be a woman disguised as a man.

It was three days after Qu Qinghong arrived in Tongxian, she subconsciously asked, and saw Qu Qinghong look at it shyly, in the first three "Four Books" articles, he didn't think of the source of two questions, how to say this?

The two of them made a slight adjustment in Tongxian County, and rushed to the capital early in the morning of the second day, and were delayed for a few days on the road, and it was August 28 when they entered Beijing.

What the hell is she trying to do!

Zhao Tangzi Hutong Qu family, the black lacquer door is still tightly closed, and a pair of white marble door drums stand quietly on the side of the door.

The two got out of the carriage one after another, and saw a housekeeper at the corner door on one side greeted them: "Third young master, fourth young master, the old lady was looking forward to your return early in the morning, and just now I sent someone to urge you." ”

The two of them did not wait to go back to their small courtyard to rest and freshen up, and were directly taken to Beiwangzhai by the housekeeper.

In the study, except for Qu Wenhai, Qu Qingwen and Qu Qingxi brothers were actually there.

"Grandfather."

The two stepped forward to salute, and Qu Wenhai got up slightly excitedly and waved his hand: "How is it, how does it feel to end up this time, can you still be silent about the article you did in the first place?" ”

Qu Qingyan has always had an excellent memory, and when she was in Yufu, she had already written the three "Four Books" written by her, she transcribed one in the letter she left for Yu Youtai, and the other one was brought back to Qu Wenhai.

As soon as Qu Wenhai's voice fell, Qu Qinghong's body beside her tensed violently, and she suddenly remembered that the third brother didn't seem to have done well in the exam.

Poof!

Qu Qinghong knelt on the ground with a ashamed face: "It's because my grandson is incompetent and doesn't have enough knowledge." ”

"You kid," Qu Wenhai continued with an unchanged face, "Get up, you are still young, this time it was also to let you go down to feel the atmosphere of the autumn season, you kid is anxious." ”

His words made Qu Qinghong even more ashamed, if there was no Qu Qingyan, there was no comparison between the world and the world, although he would be lost, he would not feel like a waste like now.

Qu Qingyan touched the hand in front of him and lowered it again, and only said with a smile: "My grandson has lived in Lord Yu's mansion for a month, and I have been taken care of by Lord Yu during this period. ”

She is confident that she will be able to achieve fame this time, but since Qu Qinghong reacted so strongly, she didn't care about putting all the credit on Yu Youtai.

After being brutally abused by Yu Youtai for a month, the edges and corners in her articles have been polished more and more rounded, like pebbles in a stream, although there are no sharp corners that will scratch people, but people can't ignore its existence.

"Qingyan boy is a lucky man, you can rest assured, Yu Youtai's love for helping you, grandfather has written it down."

Out of Beiwangzhai, Qu Qingwen was about to take a few brothers to the plum garden, Qu Qingyan hurriedly excused himself: "Big brother, let the fourth brother go back to the room to freshen up and then look for you." ”

"It's okay, that big brother is waiting for you in the backyard of Plum Garden."

Separated from the fork in the road, Qu Qingyan just turned the path and saw Mama Rong standing at the gate of the chrysanthemum garden, looking anxious.

"Fourth Young Master, you can come back, Sixth Miss, she was forced to hang herself by the eldest lady."
