After rebirth, I became a treacherous minister Black Moonlight

Yu Li was stunned for a moment.

Aren't you here to have fun? How did you pass the exam?

In the pavilion.

Meng Qianqian had a very pleasant conversation with Mrs. Lin and Mrs. Zhou.

It was mainly the two of them talking, and Meng Qianqian listened quietly. She didn't say much, but the conversation was never dull, and when she did say something, it was always to the point.

Mrs. Zhou sighed secretly, and Zhou Nanyan also looked like she was listening, but only she knew that this girl had already gone into a trance.

How could Mrs. Lin not have this feeling?

It is rare to have such a calm mind at such an active age.

Moreover, she seemed to have a maturity that went beyond that of a teenager. The longer I spent with her, the more I was attracted to her temperament.

Zhou Nanyan looked around and asked Madam Lin, "Aunt Lin, why hasn't Aunt Wang arrived yet? Didn't she say she was coming last time?"

Mrs. Xing is going back to her parents' home today, which was decided half a month ago, but I haven't heard that Mrs. Wang has any other plans.

Meng Qianqian was also a little puzzled.

Madam Lin sighed: "Censor Wang has a sprained waist, and she is taking care of him at home."

"How did you sprain your waist? Is it serious?" Zhou Nanyan asked.

Mrs. Lin coughed.

Zhou Nanyan took her arm and said coquettishly, "Aunt Lin, just say it, Sister Meng wants to hear it too!"

Meng Qianqian was stunned.

Seeing Mrs. Lin looking at her, she nodded: "Oh, I want to listen."

"It's not something that can't be discussed." Madam Lin said, "Censor Wang reported his father again, and his father was taken to the Hall of Supreme Harmony, where he was severely reprimanded by several old ministers. When he came back, his father beat him up."

Mr. Wang has already submitted his retirement documents and is only waiting for the court's approval so that he can retire at home and enjoy his retirement.

Who would have thought that at the end of his life, he would be tied to the pillar of shame by his own son again, and his reputation would be ruined.

The corner of Meng Qianqian's mouth twitched. Censor Wang was a real tiger. She could already imagine the scene of Old Man Wang going berserk.

After listening to Wang Yushi's gossip, Zhou Nanyan walked over to Meng Qianqian, took her arm and said, "Sister Meng, let's go find Sister Lin!"

Madam Zhou hadn't talked enough with Meng Qianqian yet: "Girl, can't you let your sister Meng have some peace and quiet for a while?"

Zhou Nanyan pouted: "Mom, why don't you chat with Aunt Lin! Sister Meng has been with you for a long time, it's time for her to be mine!"

"Hey - you -"

Mrs. Zhou didn't call out to them, and Zhou Nanyan dragged Meng Qianqian away.

In the Lin family's library, Meng Qianqian met the Lin family's daughter, Lin Xiaoru.

Lin Xiaoru was wearing plain clothes, with her long black hair tied up in a simple bun with a wooden hairpin. She was standing in front of the bookshelf, holding a book and studying hard.

This is a quiet girl who exudes a strong scholarly air. Her skin is a little too white due to lack of sunlight.

Zhou Nanyan gently called out "Sister Lin".

Lin Xiaoru turned sideways and looked towards the door: "It's Yan'er."

Immediately, her eyes fell on Meng Qianqian, "You are Miss Meng, right? My mother has mentioned you to me. Please come in."

The two entered the library.

Meng Qianqian greeted Lin Xiaoru: "Miss Lin."

Zhou Nanyan leaned over and asked Lin Xiaoru, "Sister Lin, what book are you reading?"

Lin Xiaoru said: "Feng Shui."

Zhou Nanyan asked doubtfully, "Weren't you still in Tianwen last month?"

"I'm tired of seeing that." Lin Xiaoru said bluntly.

"Does it look good?" Zhou Nanyan asked.

Lin Xiaoru held the yellowed book in her hand and sighed, "It is beautiful, but it is a pity that it is incomplete, only the first half."

Zhou Nanyan said: "Go buy another one!"

Lin Xiaoru shook her head and said, "You can't buy it. This book is a note written by a hermit master. It accidentally flowed into the market. I got it by chance."

Meng Qianqian took a glance.

Why does this handwriting look so much like Ji Li's?

After Lin Xiaoru finished reading the last page, she returned to the first page with great interest and read it again from the beginning.

Zhou Nanyan whispered to Meng Qianqian: "Sister Meng, don't mind it. It's not that Sister Lin doesn't welcome you. She treats me the same way. She is a bookworm."

Meng Qianqian nodded.

A person's kindness and malice can essentially be distinguished. Lin Xiaoru is a focused girl. The library is just a library to others, but to her it is probably her most private world. Being allowed to enter is already a great welcome.

Lin Xiaoru suddenly raised her eyes and said to Meng Qianqian: "I forgot to tell you, you can read any book on the bookshelf."

Meng Qianqian played at Lin's house for the whole day, and Yu Li took the test at Lin's house for the whole day. From the meaning of the classics to policy questions, from five-character and eight-rhyme poems to the imperial edicts, the huge number of questions made the whole person exhausted after taking the test, and even his eyes were dull.

During the entire examination process, he did not leave the study room and even had lunch in the study room. Naturally, Lin Jijiu did the same.

It was the first time in this dynasty that the chief academician of the Imperial College personally presided over the examination for the candidates.

In the evening, Meng Qianqian said goodbye to Madam Lin: "Thank you Madam Lin and Lord Lin for coming today."

Lord Lin finally got a day off, but he spent it all working overtime.

Madam Lin waved her hand and said, "It's just a small favor. Besides, I am only providing you with an opportunity to take the exam. Whether you can enter the Imperial College depends on your own ability."

It was not until he was close to home that Yu Li finally came back to his senses and let out a long sigh: "Cousin, today...thank you very much, but, for such surprises in the future, can you give me a heads up in advance?"

He really thought he was here to play...

"Master Lin said that this is the entrance examination for the Imperial College. He can actually give me a test alone. Is he a teacher of the Imperial College?"

"No."

"Then he is——"

"The Imperial Academy's chief priest."

Yu Li shuddered!

Meng Qianqian curled her lips and said, "Should I inform my cousin in advance for this kind of surprise in the future?"

Yu Li's face turned pale: "No, no need."

However, after seeing Meng Qianqian off, Mrs. Lin immediately went to Lin Jijiu's study.

As always, the voice came before the person arrived: "How did the child do in the exam?"

Lin Jijiu was marking the papers while the students were taking the exam. When Yu Li took the next exam, Lin Jijiu had finished marking the papers from the previous exam. Now he had almost finished reading all of them.

He kept a serious face and said nothing.

Mrs. Lin's face changed: "What's wrong? Didn't he do well in the exam? I heard from my son that he is quite knowledgeable."

When they were at the Xing family, the young masters not only played pitching pots and cuju, but also exchanged poems and essays. After returning home, Young Master Lin did praise Yu Li.

"You are such a dull person. If you can do it, you can do it. If you can't do it, you can't do it. There is no way to make a difference—"

As Mrs. Lin spoke, she grabbed the test papers on the table and swallowed the last fart in time.

She smiled with relief, "All A's, I was shocked! How is it? Didn't you waste your time? In this year's entrance examination, his score will rank first! Such a good seedling, would you consider taking him as a disciple?"

Lin Jijiu said calmly: "He just has some skills in the exam, but he is not qualified to be a disciple."

"Yes Yes Yes."

Since even his own son could not get his approval, Mrs. Lin just said this casually and did not expect him to really accept Yu Li as his disciple.

"Who do you fancy?"

A person flashed through Lin Jijiu's mind. After a while, he frowned and said, "What a pity, I went astray."
