The long night is long, the warm spring in March, the candlelight flickers dimly, and the warmth touched by the fingertips makes Ye Ran feel a little confused.

"You, do you know what you're talking about?" The reason why Ye Ran hesitated was because he was afraid that the girl would be too obedient and obey him in everything.

When it came to getting married back then, Ye Ran thought about it a few times now and felt that he shouldn't have expressed his heart so hastily earlier.

At least it should wait for the girl to take the initiative. Maybe because of her own initiative, the girl proposed to get married because of her scruples.

Ye Ran secretly withdrew her fingertips, only lightly holding the hand that was pulling the sleeve.

The girl sat up slightly, her eyes were full of determination and said: "Zijin is already sixteen."

"No matter how old you are, you will always be a child in my eyes."

Ye Ran raised his hand and flicked the girl's forehead, "Okay, go to sleep soon."

Perhaps, the girl is just a whim.

Ye Ran lay quietly on one side, reached out to turn off the lamp, and the room was suddenly darker.

Wen Zijin never thought that Sister Ye would refuse so bluntly, her whole heart went cold.

Could it be that sister Ye's liking is different from my own liking?

Wen Zijin, who usually sleeps very well, couldn't fall asleep. The next day, he looked listlessly at the book and hardly spoke on his own initiative.

During lunch, Ye Ran noticed that something was wrong. The girl usually likes to eat meat, but she didn't eat a piece of the big plate of boiled chicken, she just buried her head in eating the white rice.

"Zijin is full." Wen Zijin put down the bottomless bowl.

Ye Ran frowned slightly: "Don't you even take a sip of the broth?"

The girl responded calmly: "I can't eat anymore today."

After finishing speaking, Wen Zijin got up and planned to read a book outside the courtyard with a worried expression.

"Zijin..." Ye Ran called out worriedly, "What's wrong with you?"

Did the rejection last night make the girl angry?

Wen Zijin stopped hesitantly, did not dare to meet Ye Ran's gaze, and only responded in a low voice: "It's okay, Zijin just wants to go outside and read a book."

Ye Ran was even more confused by the girl's reaction.

The imperial examination is coming up in early March, and the girl often reads until late at night. Although she is too diligent, Ye Ran always feels that the girl wants to avoid it.

But every time he asked the girl, he just avoided the topic with evasive eyes.

The intimacy that was rarely seen on weekdays was gone, and Ye Ran looked at the girl who kept a distance from her side, and couldn't help being embarrassed.

In the warm spring of March, when the tributes took part in the palace examination, Wen Zijin got up early in the morning to prepare to enter the palace.

Ye Ran raised her hands to straighten her robes, the girl stopped in front of her stiffly and awkwardly, she just couldn't say a word.

It wasn't until she left the mansion that the girl said, "I'm leaving."

The sun was shining outside, and it was a beautiful spring day. Ye Ran was worried about the servants, and couldn't touch the girl's delicate cheek with his fingertips, so he had to smooth the folds of the satin robe, "I'll wait for you to come back."

"Ah."

The palace examination is not long, only one, and the results will be announced the next day.

Ye Ran listened to the conversation between the Holy Majesty and the Dachao, and learned in advance that the top three had been appointed by the aristocratic family, and the Holy Majesty also made arrangements.

On the day when the list was released, the girl missed the top three, and Ye Ran was worried that it would make the girl feel down.

On the contrary, Father Wen is very unusual about this, the palace examination only adjusts the ranking, and most of the tributes will have official positions, No. 7 is already excellent.

"Are you writing a letter to Mrs. Wen?" Seeing that the girl was writing seriously, Ye Ran asked aloud.

"Yeah." Wen Zijin dried the ink, and then put it in an envelope, "Zijin wants to report his mother's safety, so he will tell her about her rank in the imperial examination."

Ye Ran took a sip of tea and was relieved to see that the girl did not feel disappointed.

Wen Zijin handed over the envelope to the servant and sent it to Jingzhou City at high speed.

With fame and fame in the city, there are naturally many invitations to banquets, but most girls refuse.

In the evening, the afterglow of the setting sun fell into the house through the window. Ye Ran leaned against the window and looked up, the warm wind blowing gently.

The tea dripped everywhere, soaking a lot of paper, and the girl wiped the table with a handkerchief annoyed.

After that day, the girl was obviously alienated from herself a lot. Ye Ran asked aloud, but in the end she couldn't get a result.

After a few days like this, Ye Ran realized that although the girl would not take the initiative to get intimate, she always peeped over from time to time.

Wen Zijin packed up the papers, her cheeks were reddish and she didn't dare to look at Sister Ye who was opposite her. When she was peeking just now, she touched the teacup with her hand.

I don't know if sister Ye will find out that she is peeping.

In order to be wary of the thin-skinned girl, Ye Ran could only pretend not to know.

"If you were appointed as an official, would Zijin work in the capital?"

"Probably not." Wen Zijin twisted the tea-soaked handkerchief, "Usually, he holds an official position in the local state capital, and then he rises step by step before finally becoming an official in the capital."

I heard that grandfather spent a lot of money for his father to get a fourth-rank official position in the capital. The official position at the foot of the emperor, even if it is only a sixth-rank official rank, is higher than that of local officials.

Now the Wen family is not as good as it used to be. Most of the father's family wealth has been exhausted, and the rest is in the hands of the mother. Presumably, the father will not spend any money for Wen Zijin.

Since Wen Zijin knew the true face of the officialdom, she didn't have any expectations for being an official, but was somewhat resistant.

My mother's original intention was that it would be best to serve as the magistrate of Jingzhou City. Although she is a local official, her official rank is only seven ranks, but she is close to home, so her mother won't worry.

So my uncle also mentioned this matter at the birthday banquet that day, and if there are no accidents, he should return to Jingzhou City to take up a post.

Ye Ran took a sip of tea and asked, "Does that Zijin want to get promoted?"

"I don't want to." Wen Zijin poured the tea again, glanced at Sister Ye's cup, hurriedly got up and added some tea, "I just want to stay with Mother and Sister Ye in Jingzhou City."

The young girl was full of vigor when she was studying, but recently she seemed to have lost a lot of energy.

Although he was worried that the girl would be bound by the secular world, Ye Ran never thought of restraining the girl.

"Zijin, are you unhappy?"

"No." Wen Zijin sat on one side and carefully sipped his tea, "Now I spend a lot of time with Sister Ye every day, how can I be unhappy."

This is really not a lie, Wen Zijin likes to stay with Sister Ye, even if it's just to take a peek, it's great.

If elder sister Ye's liking for her is not the kind of liking that requires intimacy, Wen Zijin also thinks it's okay.

Ye Ran touched the outer wall of the teacup with warm tea with her fingertips and said, "But Zijin has become a lot stranger to me recently."

The girl suddenly seemed to be choking on the tea, her cheeks were so red that she covered her mouth with her sleeve robe, and her bright eyes avoided looking in this direction.

"Zijin never leaves the courtyard every day, and spends most of the time with Sister Ye, how could he be unfamiliar?"

"The reason for this is that Zijin should know better than me."

Since that night, the girl has never taken the initiative to be intimate with her, and Ye Ran regrets her decision at that time, after all, the girl has a thin skin.

And Wen Zijin on this side is also very guilty. In order to prevent Sister Ye from discovering her thoughts, she usually restrains herself very much for fear of crossing the line.

In recent days, the intimacy is even less pitiful, and I don't even dare to kiss.

"Zijin is a little unclear." Wen Zijin said hesitantly.

Ye Ran poked his eyes towards the girl and said, "Don't you know?"

Alienation for no reason, if Ye Ran didn't believe in the girl's character, otherwise, she would have suspected that the girl was bored with her.

The girl nodded sincerely, Ye Ran waved her hand, and saw the girl approach obediently, flicking the girl's forehead with her fingertips.

"It hurts..." Wen Zijin stretched out his hand and rubbed his forehead, looking puzzled at Sister Ye, who had always been gentle, why did he suddenly move his hands, "Could it be that Zijin did something wrong?"

Although the girl looked very pitiful, Ye Ran still remained unmoved, and said quite seriously: "You, think about it yourself."

Hey?

Wen Zijin, who was full of grievances, couldn't figure out why she was punished by Sister Ye.

She slept even more late at night, for fear of making sister Ye unhappy if she was not careful.

Mid-March is the time when peach blossoms are in full bloom. To celebrate Wen Zijin's success in the imperial examination, Father Wen hosted a banquet in a garden in the capital.

As the host and guest, Wen Zijin had to attend, but who would have thought that Princess Na'an would also attend the banquet.

"Still meeting Princess An?" Father Wen put on a show.

Wen Zijin said stiffly: "Zijin kowtowed to Princess An."

Princess An was not able to succeed last time, so she was unhappy in her heart. Seeing that the young master of the Wen family was getting more and more handsome, she became less unhappy, and said with a slight smile: "Young master Wen might as well be with the princess. Have a few light drinks."

The people around Princess An dispersed wisely, only the man in the white robe with a crescent moon did not call out: "Princess An."

"Xiao'an, the princess is happy today, don't make trouble."

The man named Xiao An reluctantly got up and left, and even stared at Wen Zijin with his eyes.

Wen Zijin slowly sat on one side, while Wen's father greeted the guests with a happy smile, obviously deliberately making the two of them alone.

The peach blossoms in this garden were in full bloom, it was a beautiful sight but the smell of alcohol was so bad, Wen Zijin couldn't help sighing.

"I heard that Mr. Xiao Wen has married a wife. Could it be that he misses his new wife?" Princess An leaned slightly, with her hand quietly placed aside, and the two of them immediately became very intimate.

The peach forest is luxuriant, blocking most of the line of sight, which is the most likely to attract people's daydream.

"Princess, please respect yourself." Wen Zijin looked at the person close at hand very seriously.

Princess An suppressed her smile, raised her hand to hold the wine cup and drank it down, Liu Mei raised her eyebrows lightly and said: "If you are self-respecting, how can Young Master Wen be willing to get along with this princess like this?"

Before the words finished, Princess An clasped Wen Zijin's right hand with his palm. This action scared Wen Zijin away, and even turned to the side.

Princess An, who lost his hand, looked at Wen Zijin with complicated eyes and said with an ambiguous smile: "These are all married people, how can they blush even when they touch their hands? Could it be a fake marriage?"

Wen Zijin frowned slightly and said, "It's true that Zijin married a wife, please ask Princess An to find someone else."

"But what if the princess doesn't want to?" Princess An poured the wine, "I heard that your bride's birthplace is unknown, and there are no elders in the family. She is probably an unknown woman, and there is nothing wrong with your current official promotion. benefit."

These words vaguely revealed that Princess An had investigated herself, and Wen Zijin said with a serious face: "Being an official is not what Zijin wants to do. Does Princess An want to threaten him with this?"

Princess An shook her head and said, "This is not a threat, it's just a negotiation. If you divorce your bride and are willing to become the princess' horse, your future is boundless."

Wen Zijin never expected that Princess An would have such thoughts, there is no way he would divorce Sister Ye!

"Zijin is a commoner. Princess An is a golden branch and jade leaf. It is really not a good match. I heard that the current number one scholar is outstanding in talent and appearance. Princess An might as well choose another husband-in-law."

"The master of the champion Lang Ben has already seen it, and he is not half as good as Mr. Xiao Wen." Princess An held the wine cup between her fingers, and looked at the young man with her eyes. This reaction is not like a man who has been married for two years, it is clear Just a chick.

When he failed to succeed at the beginning, Princess An kept thinking tightly, now that it is rare for people to go to the capital, naturally he cannot let go of this good opportunity.

Wen Zijin only felt that Princess An's gaze seemed to be eating him, so he couldn't help being even more on guard.

Princess An smiled slightly: "Young master Wen, you are the only one I have been thinking about for so long."

"Zijin has married his wife and has no intention of divorce. Thank you Princess An for attending the banquet today. There is still something in the mansion. Zijin will leave first." After finishing speaking, Wen Zijin was about to get up.

"If you leave like this, your father will have a hard time in the court in the future." Princess An pretended to be a pity and poured two glasses of wine, and put a glass in Wen Zijin's hand, "After all, father, he has always loved me very much. , maybe you will use an excuse to target your father because of your rejection of me."

Wen Zijin looked at the wine cup in his hand, although he was angry in his heart, he couldn't bear to leave and said, "What do you want to do?"

"My princess is not ugly, and you are a match made in heaven." Princess An held the wine cup between her fingers and touched the wine cup in Wen Zijin's hand crisply: "Besides, if you divorce your wife and marry this princess, Not only can you get promoted and get rich, but you can also restore the prestige of the Wen family."

Such a lure of money, almost no one can refuse.

"Feel sorry."

Wen Zijin put the wine cup in his hand aside, then slowly stood up and saluted, "If Zijin divorces his wife for money today, he will do the same to Princess An in the future. This is not what a gentleman does."

After speaking, Wen Zijin left here.

Princess An, with a stiff smile, dropped the wine cup to the ground with a dark complexion, and said with a sneer, "What a gentleman!"

Ye Ran, who had been hiding in the dark all this time, watched the girl leave without looking back, and then cast a spell, putting a flower petal on the back of Princess Na'an's neck, and then disappeared into the peach forest.

Wen Zijin, who left the banquet, was in a very nervous mood. Princess Na'an provoked her a few times, and it seemed that she could not stay in the capital for long.

Wen Zijin, who was returning home in a sedan chair, walked through the corridor with an expression on his face, and only after entering the garden did he relax a lot.

Ye Ran had already returned to the garden, processing the spices alone in the kiosk, the girl slowly entered and said, "It smells so good."

"Do you like it?"

Ye Ran stopped grinding.

The girl sat on one side and nodded, seeing Sister Ye adding different medicinal herb petals.

"Why did you come back so early from the banquet today?" Ye Ran asked calmly.

"It's nothing, so I came back." The girl didn't mention the threat of Princess Na'an at all.

Ye Ran added some Jinyouhua to this spice, the dose is not much, because the girl seems to be a little bit against this taste.

In spring and summer, in order to avoid the influence of puberty, Ye Ran had to make some spices.

"I heard that Princess Na'an has also gone." Ye Ran decided to ask.

The girl poured the tea and replied hesitantly: "Yes."

Seeing that the girl was determined to hide it, Ye Ran had no choice but to change the subject, poured the crushed spices into the box and said, "Are the peach blossoms in the capital beautiful?"

"Well, it looks good." Wen Zijin regretted not being able to take Sister Ye to see it at first, but later knowing that Princess An was there, she gave up the idea.

Especially when he learned that Princess An actually wanted to divorce Sister Ye himself, Wen Zijin was really glad that Sister Ye was not there.

Ye Ran put the petals and said: "Then add some peach blossoms, if Zijin likes it."

The girl looked at it curiously, and when the powdered spice came out, she dipped some on her fingertips and smelled it, and praised: "This scent is very good."

"It's fine if you like it." Ye Ran looked at the girl's childlike appearance with a slight smile, if she could live so carefree all the time, then everything would be worth it.

Wen Zijin moved closer, sat beside Ye Ran, stretched out his hands to help place various petals and herbs and asked, "Are there too many of these?"

"It's not only used for incense burners, it can also be placed in lockers to infuse clothes, and the corners where herbs are added to repel mosquitoes."

"Sister Ye is so amazing." The girl looked at her with admiration, "These Zijin don't understand anything."

In fact, these are what Ye Ran read in the girl's medical books.

Ye Ran, who was so praised all of a sudden, felt a little embarrassed, stretched out his hand and rolled up the broken hair beside his ear, and said, "If you want to know, I can also teach you how to make it."

"Okay." Wen Zijin has always felt that Sister Ye is easily unhappy recently, and now is a rare and good opportunity, so naturally she can't miss it.

The preparation of spices is indeed very interesting. Wen Zijin looked at the serious Sister Ye curiously, and suddenly found that none of the smells in these spices was the same as that of Sister Ye.

Seeing the girl approaching, Ye Ran asked puzzledly, "What's wrong?"

The girl approached and sniffed it, and asked sincerely: "I want to make this fragrance from Sister Ye's body."

"What?" Ye Ran's cheeks turned red quickly, although it was only March, the smell of puberty should not be so early.

"Sister Ye's scent is different from these." The girl didn't notice Ye Ran's shyness at all, but made a serious analysis, "The spices here don't smell that good."

Ye Ran pursed her lips tightly and replied, "That's not a prepared spice."

Wen Zijin said regretfully, "Can't it be prepared?"

"No." Ye Ran lowered his head, not daring to meet the girl's bright eyes, "That's mine..."

This is an extremely private topic for female pythons.

"Your?" Wen Zijin lowered his head and sniffed, then said suddenly, "Could it be body fragrance!"

There was a mention of women's fragrance in the book, and I heard that even sweating smells very good, but Wen Zijin never really believed it.

Ye Ran nodded slowly, "Well, Zijin also has some."

If it is said that this smell is mainly used for courtship, it may scare the girl.

Wen Zijin lowered his head and smelled his clothes, but he didn't smell any fragrance.

"No." Wen Zijin buried half of his face in his sleeve robe, looking at Ye Ran in distress.

"Probably I can't smell it." Seeing the girl's cute appearance, Ye Ran couldn't help feeling very soft-hearted.

"Sister Ye, can you describe my taste?"

Ye Ran leaned closer with a blushing face, the girl was stiff and did not move, but her anxious eyes betrayed her nervousness.

"It smells very good." The faint fragrance is like the gentle temperament of a girl, although it is not strong, it makes people linger.

The girl lowered her head shyly, and she didn't make a sound for a while.

"What's wrong?" Ye Ran turned her head to look at the girl whose earlobe was blushing.

Wen Zijin asked hesitantly, "Does sister Ye like my smell?"

Ye Ran thought it would be some serious question, and nodded happily: "Well, I like it very much."

The girl's eyes were full of shyness but she smiled contentedly.

Originally, Ye Ran was worried that the girl would feel uneasy because of the coercion of Princess An, but now it seems that he was worrying too much.

In fact, what Wen Zijin was happy about was that Sister Ye said she liked her.

Since being declined that night, Wen Zijin has been very frustrated.

After all, Sister Ye has always been extremely powerful. If she wants to make her like me, then I must work harder.

The imperial examination has now ended, and it is expected that he failed to win the first prize. After all, after Wen Zijin knew the dangers of the officialdom, he knew that he could not be with these people.

But without saying a word, Wen Zijin suddenly realized that he didn't know anything, and in the future, sister Ye might feel that she was too useless and dislike her.

Once this thought pops up, it can't be stopped, so Wen Zijin has been thinking about how to make Sister Ye the same as her favorite.

Even if she can't like her as much as she likes, she still needs to let Sister Ye like herself a little more every day, maybe it's possible to have a love for a long time.

"What are you laughing at?" Ye Ran saw the girl's eyebrows bent and smiled brightly.

The girl pursed her lips and asked with a restrained smile, "Am I the only one who has smelled Sister Ye?"

Where did Ye Ran think that the girl was still struggling with these problems, so she had to forcefully respond calmly: "Yes."

Wen Zijin picked out the right petals, and the corners of her raised mouth never let go.

The girl's question made Ye Ran a little confused, what did the girl think of to be happy?

The fragrance of flowers in this square pavilion is overflowing, it is the time of deep love and sweetness, but the mansion of Princess Fang An is very noisy.

"Come on, get these things out!"

The sound of the teacup being broken was particularly ear-piercing, and Princess An's panic and screams were even more frightening.

The bees came out of nowhere, biting Princess An, who considered herself beautiful, and her whole body was red and swollen.

A large number of bees were very frightening, gathering like dark clouds over Princess An's mansion, attracting the visits of pedestrians from the capital.

Among them, a Taoist nun in a gray Taoist robe held a fly whisk and frowned and said: "There is a monster!"

The purple rhinoceros hiding in the dark hurriedly hid in the willow alley. From the corner of her eye, she inspected the lingering Taoist nun and couldn't help sighing: "It's really a crime. Why did she chase all the way to the capital?"
