"Stay well in Jingzhou, concentrate on learning from Mr. Feng, and don't care about Auntie." Before Bai Ke left, Li Shi said reluctantly, "I have fought with He Shixiang for most of my life. She calculated it, but there will never be a second time, you just have to rest assured that Auntie will always live well."

Bai Ke's eyes were red: "Auntie."

Li also couldn't help crying and said: "Let's go, let's go quickly, we won't be able to catch up to rest at the post station when it's late."

The mother and son said goodbye behind He's back. Li thought that if He knew that her son had climbed the old Mr. Feng's high branch, she didn't know what this crazy woman would do to threaten her son's life because of jealousy.Fortunately, in the past few days, Mrs. He was afraid that the adopted child would get divorced from him after he won the title, so he was always tied to him to brainwash and teach the child, so he didn't have much time to find fault with their mother and child...

Thinking in this way, Mrs. Li waved goodbye to Bai Ke, and when she returned to the yard from the side door, she saw Bai Xingyi hurriedly walking, and couldn't help but stop.

"Aunt Li." Bai Xing moved away in a hurry, almost bumping into Li Shi, when he raised his head, he only smiled embarrassedly at Li Shi.

Mrs. Li saw that Bai Xingyi's eyes were black and blue, his stature was thin, and his whole body was sluggish, as if he hadn't slept well for many days. For some reason, he remembered the frail and thin figure of the eldest son when he was in the Hou's mansion, and then He said in a warm voice: "Why did the county magistrate leave in such a hurry? It just rained in the morning, and the ground is slippery, so be careful not to fall."

Bai Xingyi is more sensitive to emotional perception. Seeing that Mrs. Li seems to be sincerely caring, without ridicule, he just smiled softly and said: "The servants on the mother's side said that the mother is not feeling well, and they called me urgently, so I just walked faster, don't worry, Auntie, I will pay attention to my steps."

After finishing speaking, Bai Xingyi nodded towards her, and continued to leave in a hurry.

Li Shi looked at his back, shook her head and sighed, she just felt that the little county magistrate was just a poor man, He Shixiang really did a lot of evil.

He's physical discomfort is only a problem after she moved to West Street. She arrogantly ordered the little county magistrate to serve her by her side every day. He was resigned and went home, and he was not allowed to read the books. He only instilled in the little county magistrate some thoughts that his heirs should be filial in front of their parents' bed, and he was afraid that his wings would be hardened.

Based on this point, Mrs. Li looked down on Mrs. He even more. When he thought of the marriage that Mrs. He had arranged for Bai Ke by relying on his status as mistress, Mrs. Li vomited and panicked from the bottom of her heart, thinking In any case, we should take advantage of the past few years when Bai Ke has been away from the capital, so that the He family can make the decision and get rid of the bereaved marriage.

----

Since the Jin Dynasty, the scientific examination system has made some adjustments on top of the previous dynasty. It is still a three-year Xiangwei, but the examination period is changed to the spring and summer. In the autumn of the same year, three examinations were held on October [-]th, [-]th and [-]th respectively, and the palace examination was in early November.If the candidates are lucky enough to win the exam and have the grace of the emperor, they can return to their hometown on the eve of the New Year's Eve, and have a reunion festival with their relatives and friends.

As October approached, the exam was just around the corner. In a courtyard in central Beijing, Song Zhengqing, a poor scholar, was frowning and copying a pair of scriptures. He was silently serious, so he didn't notice Gu Fu who quietly pushed the door into the courtyard.

Compared to being made things difficult by the young master of the He family in the street half a year ago, and fortunately Princess Qin Li Xian'er rescued her and told her parents to give up the marriage with the He family, she has felt much more relaxed in the past six months.Although mother often looked at her moaning and sighing, she seemed to be quite dissatisfied, but because her elder brother Gu Zixiu had all those troubles in the backyard ahead of her, she cared less about herself.

Of course, Gu Fu herself is also very fortunate. She was a well-behaved lady from a family in the past ten years, and she never did anything out of the ordinary, but ever since she met Song Lang in Qingshu Pavilion, Gu Fu knew that her Life has changed.

She likes Song Zhengqing's elegant gentleman, and admires Song Zhengqing's talent and cultivation. Even though she knows that Song Zhengqing is not a noble son of a family, but after knowing how he is the youngest son of a farming and studying family and how he worked hard all the way from a child to a juren, she is even more in love. It was a mess of being moved.

In the past six months, in order to allow Song Zhengqing to study in peace, Gu Fu could only endure the feeling of longing and seldom come to this courtyard. Both father and mother were out to meet guests, and the eldest brother and sister-in-law went to the county government to visit relatives, so they sneaked into this courtyard.

The place where Song Zhengqing copied was facing the window sill, so Gu Fu stood on the side of the yard and watched him quietly and intently. When Song Zhengqing copied a page of fine print, Gu Fu deliberately made a little movement, leaned out, and looked delicate and charming. Call out smartly: "Song Lang!"

Song Zhengqing's hand holding the pen paused, and a large drop of ink stained the rice paper. Gu Fu saw it with her sharp eyes, and her face turned pale. Realizing that she had done something wrong, she came to the window at a loss, and said in frustration: "I Did it scare you?"

"Why did Xiaofu come here suddenly?" Song Zhengqing's eyes flashed an unexpected surprise, and the brows unconsciously twitched, as if a little impatient, but he was quickly suppressed by him, and a gentle smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "It's cold outside, come in."

Gu Fu liked Song Zhengqing's gentle and elegant appearance, seeing that he didn't blame her, she trotted into the house immediately.

Although it's not winter yet, there is a pot of silver charcoal in Song Zhengqing's house. Gu Fu used her own money to ask her loyal little maid to spend a lot of money in the market to buy it, because In Gu Fu's impression, literati and scholars like her brother are weak people who need to be taken care of carefully.

Fearing that Song Zhengqing had worked too hard on the book and would freeze his body, Gu Fu took a torch and lit the silver coals, then scanned the room and asked strangely, "Song Lang, where is your book boy?"

Song Zhengqing folded up the ink-stained rice paper that had been transcribed without any trace, and then closed the original transcribed around him and put it under a pile of books. I asked Wen Zhu to go to the book store to buy a few title books."

Gu Fu nodded, looking at Song Zheng's washed white gown, she said distressedly: "Song Yun has enough money, if you have any difficulties, feel free to tell me."

Song Zhengqing's eyes darkened, and a humiliated anger rushed straight to his head, but he was indeed relying on Gu Fu to have a leisurely life where he could concentrate on studying, so he could only suppress the little self-esteem that he didn't need, and leaned forward to caress Gu Fu. Holding Fu's hand, she pretended to be gentle and said, "Xiao Fu, don't worry, I will take care of myself."

Looking at Song Zhengqing, Gu Fu felt a sweetness in her heart, and couldn't help saying: "In half a month, I will have a test, can Song Yun be sure?"

Song Zhengqing smiled, glanced across the book case, his eyes were full of confidence: "Naturally."

However, although Gu Fu believes that the talent and knowledge of the lover is no worse than others, the children of the Beijing family who can pass the exam are not easy to fool. Especially among the exams that will fail this year, Gu Fu knows that there are several Official disciples who are outstanding in both fame and talent should not be underestimated, so they couldn't help but say: "...For example, the second young master of the Su family, the only son of the Peng family, and the young master of the Pan-style bank are all outstanding writers. People, Song Lang must not underestimate Erlang Jingzhong, the most popular candidate for the first prize in the examination, and he must be very careful."

There was a moment of impatience on Song Zhengqing's expression, he let go of Gu Fu and said, "I know."

Gu Fu noticed his momentary indifference, and was taken aback for a moment, but when she looked up again, Song Zhengqing still had a calm and gentle expression, so she quickly suppressed that little bit of strangeness.

It so happened that Song Zhengqing's book boy Wenzhu came back with a few books in his arms excitedly. Before he entered the door, he heard his excited voice: "Master, master, I bought it..."

"Cough!" Song Zhengqing coughed violently, startling Gu Fu, "Song Yun, are you alright?"

Song Zhengqing covered his mouth and said warmly: "It's nothing, it's just that my throat was a little itchy just now, just cough it and it will be fine."

Gu Fu said worriedly: "No, I have to ask a doctor to take a look at it for you. It's not good if you catch a cold before the test."

Song Zhengqing did not reject her, and Wenzhu also entered the room silently at this time, feeling Song Zhengqing's eyes sweeping over him, the book boy Wenzhu immediately said with a wink: "Miss Gu is right, the young master has been warm these few days. The book is hard work, I always cough, I have persuaded several times to ask a doctor to read it, but the young master loves money and always refuses..."

Gu Fu heard that it was okay, and immediately said: "Just stay here and take care of Song Yun, I will go back to the mansion and call the doctor who often checks my mother's pulse..."

Song Zhengqing hesitated slightly: "I'm afraid this is not good? If my aunt knows about you and me..."

Gu Fu reassured him: "It's okay, Song Yun must be someone who wants to go to high school, as long as Song Yun has a reputation, even if mother knows, she won't stop you and me."

Song Zhengqing coughed twice, and said softly, "Then be careful when you go home, don't be in a hurry."

Gu Fu agreed with her mouth, but her feet rushed out of the courtyard and went to Gu's mansion.

On the side, Wenzhu watched Gu Fu leave, and then he was excited. He leaned in front of Song Zhengqing and said cautiously, "Young master, those books you were looking for were exchanged for the small ones for you."

Song Zhengqing said indifferently "Yes", and then looked at Wenzhu indifferently: "Things about these books are absolutely not allowed to be circulated."

Wenzhu nodded vigorously, but he couldn't help asking hesitantly after finishing the order: "Master, who really came out of these books? It's a total of 100 taels. If the contents inside are all fake, we will Big loss!"

Song Zhengqing snorted and said proudly: "If it weren't for the young master, I have a way to confirm that these things came from that hand, and I can make you take such a risk?"

Wenzhu lowered his head, and couldn't help being afraid to say: "What if you are found out doing this?"

Song Zhengqing squinted his eyes and said: "If you only care about being discovered and give up this good opportunity to ascend to the sky as cowardly as a mouse, then I am afraid that this person will not be able to achieve any great things. Besides... what is the identity of that person? Everything can only be done by the people above. It's on."

Wenzhu thought about it too, and echoed, "Young master is right, if you think about it this time, you will definitely be able to win the gold list, honoring your ancestors!"

Song Zhengqing seemed to have also thought of that scene, the corners of his mouth curled up, and he was immersed in complacency and couldn't extricate himself.

Like Song Zhengqing, there are more than a dozen people in the capital scattered loosely in the same exam. Some of them are from poor families, and some of them took the exam for decades before they passed the exam. There are probably not many similarities. A person with background power and excellent control.

And the people behind the scenes who deliberately distributed the test questions to them can see their minds.

At the same time, in Prince Jing's Mansion, Xie Lin folded a letter and sent it to the candlestick. Standing behind him was a man wearing coarse cloth and green clothes with a very ordinary face. His identity was one of the hidden guards of the Palace. Often appear in front of people.

Green ashes curled up, Xie Lin blew the ashes off, and said calmly without turning his head: "You don't need to worry about King Yu's little tricks, just write down the identities and hometowns of those scholars, and make a decision after the examination."

The man in Tsing Yi bowed his head and said yes, and then told about the changes of some aristocratic families in Beijing.

After the two of them finished talking in the study room, it was getting late, Xie Linxing went to the main courtyard to accompany his wife to have dinner, leaving only Wang Youquan leading the hidden guard in green to leave through the side door.

"The sky is about to change." Before leaving the palace, the hidden guard in Tsing Yi turned his face and said quietly.

Wang Youquan was taken aback, smiled slightly, and said without any surprise: "The capital has been quiet for so many years, it's time to make a move, but no matter what, we just need to obey His Highness and don't need to think about it."

"My father-in-law is right."

The Qingyi Yinwei nodded, clasped fists with Wang Youquan, turned around and disappeared at the entrance of the alley.

The author has something to say:

Gu Fu: Gu Zixiu's younger sister, Bai Yi's sister-in-law

Bai Yi: He's eldest son
