Mrs. Li arrived in the imperial capital ten days ago.

Uncle Zhao was afraid that she was old, and he didn't dare to hurry too fast, so it took seventeen or eighteen days to arrive, after arriving in the imperial capital, the old lady never went out, one is that Zhou Mujiao really can't spare time to go out with her, and the other is that the old lady is timid in her hometown, Zhou's house is only one street away from Li's house, and it doesn't take half a cup of tea to walk over, she just doesn't dare to go.

Today, Zhou Mujiao is free, Jiang Wuyu is also back, Canglan Academy is on vacation, Xiao Wu and Xiao Jiu are there, so many people are accompanied, Mrs. Li finally has the courage to go out.

It was evening, and there was still a loss of time to wipe the sky, Mrs. Li had no intention of appreciating the changes on the road, and she did not open the carriage curtain once in the past, and kept closing her eyes until Jiang Wuyu said that Mrs. Li opened her eyes.

When she went to Lingnan with Lord Li, there were still five or six people living in the Li house, the Li family was originally a big family, not only there were so many people in the Li family in the capital, but there was also a whole family in their hometown, counting the nine clans, at least tens of thousands of people.

After that incident, all the Li family members were exiled or confiscated into the army within the five uniforms, as for those outside the five uniforms, those who changed their surnames changed their surnames, and those who moved, twenty years have passed, and no one knows how many real Li family members there are.

In front of the Li house, the door is half collapsed, and the outside of the wall is full of cracks, as long as a rainstorm, the entire wall can be destroyed, and the foot of the wall is covered with moss and weeds.

Mrs. Li lifted the curtain and glanced at it, and said, "Go back." ”

Zhou Mujiao held the old lady's hand: "Grandmother, I have already asked Uncle Jiang to find the surviving children of the Li family, the emperor owes me a great favor, and when I find them, I will let the emperor return the Li family to us." ”

"You don't have to bother looking for it." Mrs. Li asked Jiang Wuyu to turn around, "The Li family is a guilty family, the farther away they are from us, the better they can live their own lives, if he opens his eyes one day, the emperor helps our Li family to regain grievances, and the Li family recovers its glory, they will naturally find it back." ”

Even if there are thousands of relatives in the Li family who have returned, her son, her daughter, and her nephews and nieces will not be able to come back.

Not all people with the surname Li can be called the Li family.

It was slowly getting dark, and he said that he would take the old lady to Yuedong Building for dinner today, so he left from Li's house, and the carriage went straight to Yuedong Building.

As soon as the group came in, the shopkeeper greeted them: "Miss Zhou, your friend has been here for a while, this meeting has been drunk, and it is in the ground room." ”

Zhou Mujiao was puzzled: "My friend? Who? I don't have an appointment today. ”

The shopkeeper was even more puzzled: "But they took out your token, and I also read the token before letting them enter the ground room." ”

"A girl?"

"No, it's two young sons, they look very noble, with an imperial accent, but I've never seen it, and I don't know which noble son is pampered at home."

"Okay, then I'll take a look, you take my grandmother and them to the box on the first floor."

As soon as he finished speaking, a surprise cry came from upstairs: "Miss Zhou! ”

The voice......

It's the Prince!

The prince ran down in three steps and two steps, with a visible joy on his face, he was followed by the seventeenth prince, although the seventeenth prince was younger, but much deeper than the prince, when he saw Zhou Mujiao, he only hooked his lips: "Miss Zhou." ”

He looked at Jiang Wuyu again: "Lord Jiang." This is ......"

Zhou Mujiao introduced: "This is my grandmother, grandmother, this is His Royal Highness the current crown prince and the seventeenth prince." Grandmother, I'll talk to them and I'll have dinner with you later. ”

Old lady Li blessed her body slightly, and went to the box on the first floor by Jiang Wuyu, she was hunched on her back, looking older than the average old lady, the seventeenth prince frowned, and always felt that this old lady was a little kind, and she couldn't remember where she had seen it for a while.

Waiting for Zhou Mujiao to leave, the two brothers returned to the local number room, and the seventeenth prince told the prince his doubts, and the prince said: "Of course the face is good, she is quite similar to Miss Zhou, the palace has imagined it, and Miss Zhou is like her when she is old." ”

The seventeenth prince thought for a moment and nodded: "It's indeed a bit similar." But I still think it's strange, they all say that Miss Zhou's own grandmother is long gone, and the one in the family was picked up by Lord Jiang when he was wandering on the rivers and lakes, since it was picked up by Lord Jiang, how can it look similar to Miss Zhou? ”

"Seventeenth brother wants to check down?"

"It's not like it's checking, it's just curiosity. Miss Zhou just saved me, I was just worried that there was something wrong with the old lady, and thus hurt Miss Zhou. ”

The prince was puzzled: "You are familiar with Master Jiang, and he didn't tell you about the old lady's situation?" ”

"I don't know Master Jiang well, that is, he reported to me, I read the evidence, and I went back to Beijing with him. Master Jiang is a person of six doors, he only obeys his father's orders, even if I ask, Lord Jiang may not be able to tell the truth. ”

After the seventeenth prince finished speaking, he didn't know what he remembered, frowned, and didn't say anything after all, but when he left, he deliberately went to the box on the first floor to say goodbye to Zhou Mujiao.

This move made the prince very confused, and immediately ordered someone to secretly pay attention to Zhou Mujiao's family.

After all, even the virtuous king, who has been a Buddhist for decades, can say that if he rebels, he will rebel, and Zhou Mujiao also admitted in public that he wants to be the emperor, so he has to guard against it.

There are three examinations in total, each three days, from the first day into the examination room to stay in the dormitory, even if you die in it, before the end of the examination, you must not leave the examination room, the ancient imperial examination is very complicated, so one-size-fits-all, can save a lot of trouble, and can break the idea that some people want to cheat in the examination process, but also to ensure the personal safety of the candidates in the examination process.

After the last test, the candidates need to stay in the examination room for another two hours, and when the inspection is completed and it is confirmed that there is no cheating, everyone will go out again.

There are a total of 2,000 candidates who participated in the examination this year, and only 300 can enter the palace examination, and above the palace examination, there will be no more elimination, but it is just a division of grades and rankings, of which one hundred are in the first class, three in the first class, ten in the second class, and the rest are all third. After that, the court will distribute people to various departments of the court according to the rank, and wait for the newcomers to stay in Beijing or send them to the outside world.

"It's time to get out!"

The candidates couldn't wait to pick up their baggage and run out.

2,000 people walked out at the same time, and you can imagine how crowded the scene was, if it weren't for the officers and soldiers to maintain order, I was afraid that there would be a stampede, and then the good tribute temple would become a Shura field, it would not be good.

Zhao Yunjing came out of the examination house and did not leave in a hurry, but waited until he was almost done before going out.

The students of Canglan Academy still have some tacit understanding, and as soon as Zhao Yunjing went out, he saw dozens of classmates led by Chen Gongzi.

"How did Brother Zhao do in the exam? The volume must have been written in its entirety, right? ”

"It's fine."

"If you say it's okay, then it must be okay. I'll be miserable, when you are named the champion, I will lose my name to Sun Shan! Alas! ”

There was a horn outside that made Zhao Yunjing go out and turn right, the corners of Zhao Yunjing's mouth turned up slightly, and he said comfortingly: "It's gold, it will shine anywhere." ”

After saying that, I couldn't wait to run out.

Feng Wei sighed: "This guy! Eh, Brother Chen, how did you do in the exam? How does it feel? ”

"Okay."

"Then after the list is released, you have to get married, right? That Meng girl, but she has followed you all the way from Taohua County, and it is not easy for a girl's family to do this. ”

Chen Gongzi lightly hooked his lips: "Yes, Miss Meng is not easy, it is better for Brother Feng to marry and go home by himself, my life events, I won't bother you." ”

"Speaking of which, you still think about Miss Zhou." Feng Wei lowered his voice, "You can also see that they are getting better, and they will only get better and better in the future, you, don't be stupid." ”

“…… Get away. ”
