Because he was afraid that Bei Jinshui would walk at night, Bei Yutian did not leave them to eat in the academy, but followed them to the inn for dinner.

Yanchen wanted to participate in the review of the answer sheet, so he didn't go with them.

After dinner, before Bei Yutian left, he heard a knock on the door.

Qiu Ju hurriedly walked to open the door, and when she saw the person standing outside the door, she shouted in surprise, "Manager Li, why are you here? Can you have dinner?"

Li Jing frowned, and glanced at Qiu Ju, who was shouting loudly, with some displeasure:

"Qiu Ju, there are a lot of people here, not in the mansion, pay attention to everything."

Suddenly being taught by Li Jing, the corners of Qiu Ju's upturned mouth instantly drooped, and she muttered in a low voice: "Yes, what Mr. Li taught is that the slave will pay attention in the future."

"Okay, okay, Qiu Ju didn't mean it. Mr. Li, come in and speak. Is there something you have to do here?"

Seeing the depressed Qiu Ju, Li Mei hurriedly helped her out of the siege in a soft voice, and changed the topic by the way.

Hearing Li Mei's question, Li actually walked into the room, motioned for Qiu Ju to close the door, and walked to the table, then saluted respectfully, and then handed over the things in his hands with both hands, and said, "Madam, Master Bei, the slave is polite." After Li Jing finished saluting, he got up and said, "Master Bei, this is according to what you meant before, I found a few more suitable courtyards, and the prince said to send them to you."

Bei Jinshui hurriedly got up, took the things in Li Jing's hand, and after thanking him, he opened the copied title deed in his hand and looked at it carefully.

"Dad, do you want to rent a courtyard?"

Bei Yutian approached him, looked at the title deed with him and asked.

"Well, you don't know how long you will stay in the imperial city, it is not suitable or convenient to live in an inn like this, your mother and I will rent a courtyard, and then move in and wait for you."

Bei Yutian was slightly surprised, but she didn't object, she didn't think about it.

There are only a few acres of thin fields at home, and in addition to the taxes paid, it is good to keep the whole family fed, where is there so much grain to sell. And I didn't see my father go out to work, and I didn't have a lot of money to come to the house, so how could I stay in the inn every day. new

As soon as Bei Jinshui raised his head, he saw Bei Yutian's lowered eyes, his eyes were pitch black, and he smiled slightly:

"What, you're worried that Daddy doesn't have any money? Don't worry, Daddy has saved some money over the years. I don't want to stay in the guest house, the main reason is because it's inconvenient, Xiao Tian, don't think about it."

Hearing this, Li Mei realized that Bei Yutian's mood was slightly low, and gently patted her on the back and took her into her arms to comfort her:

"Xiao Tian, you forgot, my mother is the richest man in the Western Capital, the Zheng family. Although my mother left home back then, she didn't leave empty-handed. Your father is right, you really don't have to worry about money."

Feeling the concern of the two, Bei Yutian's depressed mood only appeared for a while and disappeared, and nodded: "Daddy, I'm fine. Dad, take a look and see which yard is suitable. When I have time, I'll go with you to see it."

In the previous life, she grew up in the northwest most of the time, until she followed Yan Yimo to the imperial city, but she entered the palace soon after arriving in the imperial city, but she still knew more about this imperial city than them.

"Don't worry, let's choose slowly." Bei Jinshui said with a light smile.

After an hour, I finally chose a relatively satisfactory courtyard, the courtyard is not big, some remote, but it is quiet, Bei Jinshui and Li Mei are more quiet, so I decided to pick a time, go to the field to see, and then prepare to move over.

Seeing that it was not early, Li Mei and Bei Jinshui sent Bei Yutian away.

Looking at her distant figure, the worry in Li Mei's eyes appeared, leaned into Bei Jinshui's arms, and said in a low voice, "Husband, did the inspector recognize you today?"

Bei Jinshui held Li Mei in one hand and behind his back with the other, looked up at the crescent moon in the sky, and said lightly, "Maybe. However, he has no evidence and should be fine. Besides, he and his father have been close friends for many years, and even if they doubt, they will only bury this doubt deep in their stomachs. Let's go, let's go back and rest, and tomorrow morning we will go to the academy to watch Oda compete."

Li Mei nodded.

Bei Jinshui smiled softly and led her back to the inn.

As soon as the two entered the inn, a shadow cast upstairs, but it soon disappeared with them.

Early the next morning, Pei Yutian waited for Bei Jinshui, Li Mei and Qiu Ju, and of course, Yanchen. The group headed towards Qingyu Xuan.

"Alas, hurry up, the results of yesterday's pen test are out."

"Really, let's go, go and see."

The people behind him continued to overtake them, sprinting towards Qingyu Xuan.

"Oda, why don't we go and have a look."

Li Mei looked at the expressionless Bei Yutian, thinking that she was nervous, and smiled and spoke, wanting to make her not so nervous.

"No, auntie, she answered the exam questions very well yesterday afternoon."

Bei Yutian looked at Li Mei, and was just about to open his mouth, when he heard Yanchen say this, he couldn't help but turn his head to look at him again.

"Really? Does Tatsukomi know what was the first written test of my Oda yesterday afternoon?"

Yanchen smiled and said, "Auntie, what do you think?"

Yanchen asked rhetorically.

"This ......"

Li Mei pondered.

"Alright, don't sell it."

Seeing that Li Mei was a little anxious and a little worried, Bei Yutian looked at Yanchen and said lightly.

Yan Chen raised his eyebrows, looking at her who had no desire and no desire, he had to surrender: "Uncle and aunt, the junior originally wanted to give you a surprise, but now peace of mind is the most important thing. To tell you the truth, she was the first in the competition yesterday afternoon. But ......"

"But what?"

Li Mei asked a little puzzled.

"However, there is one more person who also won the first place."

"Zhou Yaqing!"

Bei Yutian blurted out without thinking about it.

Yan Chen was stunned for a moment, then looked at her and nodded, "You guessed?"

"Well, after chatting with her for a while that day, I found that she was a great talker, and she should be a person who reads poetry and books. It should be a matter of course to be the first."

Yanchen nodded and didn't say anything more.

Listening to the conversation between the two of them, Bei Jinshui and Li Mei stopped in an instant, and looked at Bei Yutian with some surprise, as if they couldn't believe it.

Li Mei swept towards Yanchen and asked him for confirmation, "Chen Gongzi didn't say anything, is it really our Xiaotian?"

She thought it would be difficult for Oda to win the first place, after all, she saw a lot of male students yesterday afternoon.

In the Blood Flame Empire, men have always been learning to read since childhood, and by now, they should have read a lot of books, and they should have an advantage over Xiao Tian, but they didn't expect that they were not as good as Xiao Tian, how could they not surprise and disbelieve her.

"Auntie, this kind of thing, how can the younger generation joke with you. If you don't believe me, you'll find out in a moment."

Looking at Yan Chen's determined appearance, Li Mei's suspicions slowly disappeared, and finally showed a knowing smile and looked at Bei Yutian: "Xiao Tian, great, you are also the first this time, are you happy?"

Pei Yutian nodded.

Of course she is happy, after all, every victory means that she is one step closer to completing the task.

Soon, they came to the lobby on the first floor of Qingyu Xuan. There were already a lot of people who arrived, and the lists on both sides were tightly encircled.

Qiu Ju wanted to squeeze in to take a look, but she didn't want to be pushed out by the crowd directly, and then she wanted to get closer, but it was extremely difficult.

"Okay, everyone, be quiet, and those who see the leaderboard should quickly return to your original position. As for the newcomers, they have to go back to your place and check the rankings when we finish this competition."

Hearing the shouts of the starter, the crowd slowly dispersed.

Everyone was quickly seated.

"What we are competing today is argument. Please come and draw lots."

As the starter's voice fell, the lottery holder in the field instantly became a "sought-after" thing, and everyone moved to the lottery holder one after another.

Soon, Bei Yutian pulled out his side of the line. looked at that place and found that Zhou Yaqing was also there.

The two looked at each other, but not hostile, but with some appreciation. Zhou Yaqing looked at Bei

Yutian smiled knowingly and stretched out his hand to her, "Yutian, this time we are fighting side by side, and finally we are no longer opposed."

"Yes, Senior Sister Zhou."

Bei Yutian nodded lightly, in response.

"Everyone, the debate begins."

I have to say that this debate is quite lively.

Although there are only two parties, there are many people, and once the argument starts, there is basically no time to stop. Inside the entire Qingyu Xuan, there was a voice echoing all the time.

Finally, after two hours, the debate ended.

The side of Bei Yutian and Zhou Yaqing won.

Bei Yutian frowned, pursed his lips and pondered: This competition is everyone's together, I don't know if the system counts me as a winner?

Listening to the space for a while, there was no sound coming, and Bei Yutian couldn't help but feel a little bottomless in his heart.

In the past, as long as she had some slight doubts in her heart, before she could ask, the space had already told her the answer. But this time, there was no sound at all, so couldn't multiple people "fight" at the same time?

Just when Bei Yutian was stunned, he felt that someone bumped into him with an elbow that was not light or heavy, and when he turned his head to look, he saw Zhou Yaqing with a smile on his face and opened his mouth:

"It's us who wins, why don't you look a little upset?"

Pei Yutian shook his head: "No, I'm very happy, I'm just thinking about things just now."

After speaking, he bowed his head to Zhou Yaqing, "Senior Sister Zhou, there are people waiting for me over there, so I'll go over first."

Zhou Yaqing nodded.

Until she watched her figure get farther and farther away, she also wanted to go back to the yard to rest, and as soon as she turned around, she saw a big face in front of her eyes, which was really a little scary, although the owner of this face was her father.

"Daddy."

Zhou Yaqing leaned over and saluted.

"Qing'er, come here, Dad has a few words to ask you."

The two of them came to a secluded place.

"Okay, Dad, there's no one here, if you have anything to ask your daughter, just ask."

Looking at his mysterious father, Zhou Ya smiled lightly and urged him to speak.

"Dad just saw that you got along with Miss Pei, it seems to be good?"

Zhou Yaqing tilted his head, thought about it extremely seriously, and said after a while:

"Daddy, this Bei girl, it seems that she is not hostile to anyone, but she will not get close to anyone so quickly. My daughter and her should have some appreciation for each other at the moment, and they shouldn't get along well."

Zhou Yaqing told her thoughts and feelings truthfully.

Although she lives in the same courtyard with herself, she will respond to her own words, and will sit in the courtyard to drink tea with her, but she never mentions anything related to herself, and even if she asks, she will not follow her own words.

In this case, at best, it can only be said that the two are slightly better than strangers, but they get along well, and they really can't reach it.

But why did Daddy suddenly care so much about his relationship with Pei Yutian?

Zhou Hetong hesitated, looked at Zhou Ya and asked again with a light smile:

"Did Miss Nabe tell you about her father and her hometown?"
