Chapter 228: This King Smells It
"Well, Lord Wang, please. β
Shi Miaoyu coughed lightly, suddenly came back to his senses, forced a smile to himself, and invited Gu Qingchi in.
She doesn't like incense on weekdays, so the room smells of herbs.
Shi Miaoyu didn't think there was anything when he was used to smelling it, and when he saw Gu Qingchi coming in, he remembered that there were medicinal herbs in the room, and subconsciously said: "I don't know if you will come, and wait a minute, let me go and burn some incense." β
Seeing that Shi Miaoyu was going, Gu Qingchi stopped her and said with a slight smile: "No need, this king is used to smelling it." β
When he said this, he added: "Don't forget, this king is a medicine jar." β
Although this was a joke, Shi Miaoyu felt a sinking in his heart for no reason.
She forgot that the emperor had to secretly stumble when he had something to do on weekdays, and Gu Qingchi had to eat more medicine than food in order to survive all these years!
When she thought of this, her heart ached a little, but her face was inconspicuous, because she smiled and said, "Lord Wang, sit down." β
Gu Qingchi nodded and sat down in the room, handed her another thing, and said softly, "This is what you want." β
Shi Miaoyu took it in surprise, and when she saw that the information recorded on it was Yue Zheng's information, she immediately said, "Lord Wang, why are you ......?"
She obviously asked Caihe to find someone to investigate, why did she finally become Gu Qingchi to give it to herself?
Seeing the surprise in Shi Miaoyu's eyes, Gu Qingchi smiled slightly, and there was a bit of pride in his expression: "Don't forget Miaoyu, my white-clothed sect members are not idle meals. β
This is ambiguous, but I don't know if it refers to the investigation of Yue Zheng, or the matter of Shi Miaoyu instructing the maid.
Shi Miaoyu suddenly had some mixed feelings in her heart, she didn't think it at first, but after Gu Qingchi pierced the layer of window paper, she suddenly found that this person had done too much for herself.
At first, she cooperated with Gu Qingchi, but she was unwilling, and she was forced to make a deal. However, from the transaction to the present, between herself and Gu Qingchi, she has always owed each other unilaterally.
She didn't help Gu Qingchi in any way, but caused him a lot.
However, Gu Qingchi has been helping himself.
Thinking of this, Shi Miaoyu said without a head or a tail: "Thank you, Lord Wang." β
"Between you and me, why say thank you. β
Hearing this, Shi Miaoyu's eyebrows and eyes were lowered, but her eyes couldn't help but be a little red.
She owes so much in her past life and this life, I'm afraid she won't be able to pay it off in this life.
And Gu Qingchi obviously doesn't need her to pay it off.
He just stretched out his hand, touched her head, and said with a smile: "Although I don't know what Miaoyu wants to do, but just do it, everything is up to me." β
When he said this, Gu Qingchi's voice was full of doting.
is like a parent who watches his child play, even though he is helpless, but all the consequences are borne for his child without hesitation.
Hearing this, Shi Miaoyu's eyes became more and more red, but she told her what she wanted to do.
After listening to what Shi Miaoyu said, Gu Qingchi smiled in surprise and said, "It turns out that Miaoyu wants to be a matchmaker?"
"Well, it's actually not counting, I just think that there seems to be something ...... between my mother and General Yue."
Although when she left the Lin Mansion the day before yesterday, her mother tried her best to behave normally, but she just had an intuition that between the two of them, there was definitely more than just old acquaintances.
Hearing this, Gu Qingchi nodded and said, "Okay." β
Everything she wanted to know, he would do his best to find out.
Gu Qingchi's speed was extremely fast, but on the second day, he sent a detailed report.
However, Shi Miaoyu didn't see anything from above, what was written on it was no different from what Lin Yanran said, but there was another thing that caught Shi Miaoyu's attention.
"This General Yue is actually secretly sending someone to spy on my mother?"
Hearing this, Gu Qingchi shook his head and smiled: "This is what the white-clothed sect inadvertently discovered when they were investigating him. In fact, it's not surveillance, but the things in the house will indeed pass on. It's just that because he is far away, the people sent in can't actually pass on any useful news. β
It's nothing more than how the lady is, how the lady is, and the news sent is mostly trivial.
But......
"I didn't expect General Yue to do such a thing. β
It has been less than half a month since Yue Zheng returned to the capital, but this secret pile to send news started a few years ago.
Other words...... Yue Zheng has been secretly keeping an eye on Lin Yanran.
Yue Zheng has no malicious intent, anyone can feel it. But the more this happened, Shi Miaoyu's brows became more and more wrinkled: "If he sent someone to spy on his mother for liking, then why didn't he say it?"
She couldn't think of a person doing this for any reason other than liking it. I want to know her diet and daily life, and see if she is doing well.
But if you like it, why not say it?
This answer, Gu Qingchi faintly guessed.
"Probably because of the fate of the Heavenly Evil Lone Star. β
Everything that happened to Yue Zheng gave him a thick label - Tiansha Lone Star.
No matter how high he climbs, the label is always with him.
In his memory, three lives died because of him, and he didn't dare to gamble anymore. Maybe Yue Zheng didn't believe it back then, but with the passage of time, those who died because of his destiny already made him have to believe it.
Therefore, even if it is love, it can only be humble and careful.
didn't let her know, only watched in secret, and didn't even dare to approach.
After hearing what Gu Qingchi said, Shi Miaoyu also had a little understanding, sighed and said, "I think what you said is his true thoughts nine times out of ten." β
But if this is the case, will General Yue be willing to protect his mother for the rest of his life?
Thinking of this, Shi Miaoyu frowned deeply again.
......
On September 20, the imperial court finally released the list.
Early in the morning, the place where the imperial city was released was densely packed with people, all waiting for the officers and soldiers to come and post the imperial list notice.
The people from the Lin Mansion were also among them, and they were sent over by Lin Zhou early to see if their young master had won the first place.
When he got it, he saw the Imperial Forest Army escorting the courtiers who posted the imperial list.
"Releaseβ"
After the courtier drank this, he was escorted by the Imperial Guards and left again.
The people who had been separated from each other from the previous sides instantly rushed up, looking on tiptoe one by one.
"Sun Jia, it's me, I'm the ninety-seventh, I'm hit, I'm hit!"
Suddenly, a man in the crowd shouted frantically, grinning at the base of his ear, and kept pointing at himself to introduce himself to the people around him.
And unlike his excitement, it was those who fell off the list who couldn't stop sighing: "I didn't win, and I didn't ...... this year"
Some people were happy and some were worried, and the servants of the Lin family instantly widened their eyes and shouted, "My young master has been hit!"
Several people confirmed again and again, and when they saw that Lin Qifeng's name was really at the top of the list, they quickly ran towards the Lin family.
At this time, Shi Miaoyu was also accompanying her aunt and mother at the Lin family to wait for news.
As for the parties concerned, Lin Qifeng is not in a hurry at all.
He was discussing things in the shop with Lin Zhou in the study.
At these times, in order to prepare for the exam, he had not helped his family with things for several days, but at this time, he was able to handle things in an orderly manner after a few months.
Lin Zhou was not so calm, although he didn't say it, he was still very worried in his heart. So after the shopkeeper left, he couldn't help it and asked, "Is there a success in praying for the wind?"
Hearing this, Lin Qifeng smiled slightly and said, "Father doesn't have to worry, he will always come." β
seemed to be responding to his words, and almost as soon as Lin Qifeng's words fell, he heard a chaotic footsteps outside the door, which was mixed with the shouts of the subordinates: "Master, our young master has been hit!"
Lin Zhou suddenly heard this, almost happy and confused, strode out, and asked, "What's wrong?"
Naturally, I was lifted!
Seeing Lin Zhou like this, those subordinates all smiled and explained: "Back to the old man, our young master's high school is among the best!"
As soon as these words came out, Lin Zhou was stunned for a moment, then laughed, patted Lin Qifeng's shoulder and said, "Yes, it is worthy of being my Lin Zhou's son, there is a future, there is a future!"
He said it several times in a row, and his eyes were full of smiles that could not be concealed.
And the news quickly spread to the backyard.
Lin Siyu let out a long breath after hearing this, and recited "Amitabha" several times in a row, although Lin Yanran on the side didn't say anything, her eyes were full of down-to-earth smiles.
Shi Miaoyu was not very surprised by this, she knew that her cousin had always been smart, and if Lin Qifeng hadn't been in business in her previous life, it would have been easy for her to enter the officialdom.
However, hearing the news of his high school at this time, Shi Miaoyu couldn't help pinching his handkerchief.
My cousin is in high school, and he will inevitably have a career in the future. And people who are in the career are not allowed to do business, so ......
His fate can be regarded as completely changed!
The cousin in this life will not end up like that, his future will only be a smooth road!
Thinking of this, Shi Miaoyu couldn't help but smile.
That's nice.
When Lin Qifeng entered the door with his father, he happened to see the smile on Shi Miaoyu's face.
His steps paused involuntarily, and he was almost dazzled by Shi Miaoyu's smile.
It was Lin Zhou who noticed his strangeness first and asked, "Qifeng, what's wrong with you?"
Hearing this, Lin Qifeng quickly came back to his senses and chuckled: "It's okay, maybe I'm so happy today, I'm in a bit of a hurry." β
His appearance brought out a bit of a young man's spirit, which made Lin Zhou laugh and said, "You, okay, go in." β
Lin Zhou was a rough man in the end, and he didn't see his son's thoughts, and when he said this, he raised his feet and entered the door first.
Seeing this, Lin Qifeng took a deep breath behind him and walked in.
"Say hello to my uncle, I've seen my cousin. β
Shi Miaoyu greeted them with a smile, and Lin Qifeng also returned the salute, and everyone took their seats.
Before they entered the door, Shi Miaoyu and Lin Siyu were still discussing Lin Qifeng's move. Seeing Lin Qifeng at this time, Shi Miaoyu suddenly said with a smile: "Cousin, congratulations on your high school." β
Seeing her sincere congratulations, Lin Qifeng smiled warmly: "Thank you, cousin." β
"Today, I heard that my cousin is the top three, and I'm going to report to the National Academy next?"
Hearing this, Lin Qifeng nodded and said, "Not bad." β
The regulations of the previous dynasty on the imperial examination were the spring and autumn examinations, and the township examination and the palace examination, but after arriving in the current dynasty, in order to recruit talents, the spring examination was canceled, leaving only the autumn examination.
Those who are in the top 10 of Qiufu high school can enter the national academy and study with the great power of their country, and wait until the end of October, and then the emperor will take the palace examination. Those who pass the palace examination will be awarded official positions by the Ministry of Officials under the emperor's opinion.
Lin Qifeng did quite well in this year's exam, ranking in the top three, so he naturally went to the National Academy to report.
"Cousin, there are many people in the Academy, you have to be careful. β
