It was strange, she was talking about Xinghua, but he could immediately understand why she said Xinghua, as if he could hear the voice in her heart.

This feeling is far more than just this time.

Thinking of what Wujue once said, Cui Jing was the one who gave her a chance to be reborn. Facing such unpredictable and mysterious sayings that everything is possible, Chang Suining's mind suddenly became a little distracted.

This chance... What kind of chance is it?Will there be any special bonds that she doesn't know about?For example, can he really sense her thoughts?

Thinking of this, Chang Suining was suddenly on guard, and asked him tentatively: "Cui Jing, do you have anything to say to me?"

Earlier in Tiannv Tower, when he came to say goodbye to her late at night, he had silently revealed to her that he knew her secret.

But it was inconvenient to say it clearly at that time, so she said that when he returned to Beijing in the future, she would hold a banquet and wait for him.

The implication is that when the two meet again, they will discuss this matter in private. Chang Suining feels that this is an unwritten agreement between the two.

Since the two reunited, they also had the opportunity to talk privately, but for some reason, Cui Jing never brought it up, did not say anything about it.

Of course there is no need to say something clearly, the two of them just need to be clear in their hearts, and Chang Suining was not entangled in this at first, until now this uncertain thought suddenly popped up in his mind.

Chang Suining, who has always been accustomed to knowing himself and the enemy, now wants to know if there is any mysterious connection between Cui Jing, as a "chance person", and her.

Thinking about it this way, we still need to talk about it.

Facing her question, Cui Jing nodded: "Yes."

He has something to say to her.

Chang Suining looked to the left and right, and when he wanted to choose a suitable place to talk, he only heard him say again: "Wait three days later."

Chang Suining withdrew his gaze and looked at him puzzledly: "Why? Is there anything special about it?"

Cui Jing didn't look at her, but looked at Xinghua: "I will know when the time comes."

"..." Chang Suining really wanted to look up at the sky with her hands on her hips, or rolled up her sleeves and sighed, but she held back.

If you keep asking, it will appear that she is very impatient. In terms of determination, how can she lose to anyone?

Three days is three days, it's not like she won't survive that time.

Seemingly aware that she was resisting the feeling of scratching her heart and lungs, Cui Jing slightly raised her head to look at Xinghua, and slightly bent the corners of her mouth.

This scene never escaped from the eyes of Chang Suining who was squinting at him: "What are you laughing at?"

This guy...couldn't really listen to the voice in her heart?
"It's nothing." Cui Jing looked at the moon half hidden behind the clouds through the apricot blossoms: "The moon is very beautiful."

Looking at it, Chang Suining felt normal, especially now that she was suspecting that the person next to her might be able to see her inner voice.

Suspicious, she said, "Since you have nothing to say, I'll go back first."

"Alright." Cui Jing said: "You are injured, you should rest earlier."

Chang Suining: "..."

After three days of his mysterious words, she can rest in peace.

Dissatisfaction remained in her heart, so she waved at him a little tiredly, and left with Xi'er and the others.

With a smile in her eyes, Cui Jing watched her leave as she left.

Chang Suining frowned and thought a lot along the way, but in the end he forcibly cut off these thoughts. Anyway, there will be an answer in three days.

It's just self-control, she still has it.

She decided to think of something else to distract her attention, and there happened to be another apricot tree in full bloom in front of her.

The apricot blossoms, and the apricot list is revealed.

This year's imperial examination is no longer controlled by those noble families, and the examiner is her teacher, so it is destined to be very different.

The world here will be a unique new atmosphere since the Great Shengkai Dynasty.

As Chang Suining walked forward, many familiar figures from poor families flashed in his mind.

She believed that on the apricot list, there would be names she was familiar with.

But the ranking is still worth guessing. I don't know who is at the top of the apricot list?
Not only Chang Suining is curious about who will win the first prize, but it is also a suspense that attracts everyone's attention. Beijing and China have even set up many bets on this in recent days.

But before the mystery was revealed, another piece of news attracted even more attention than this.

……

In the capital Wu's mansion, the lady of the Wu family listened to the words of the maid, and she looked pleasantly surprised: "... Seriously?"

"It's absolutely true!" The servant girl rejoiced with her: "Now the word has spread!"

Wu Chunbai looked excited, immediately put down the bamboo pen in his hand, and walked out from behind the desk: "Quickly change my clothes."

Not long after, the girl from the Wu family, who had finished changing, took the envoy out of the courtyard. The maid was also very happy, and said excitedly as she walked: "...It's really gratifying!"

"How congratulatory?"

A fork in the road ahead came Wu Zhaobai, the eldest brother of the girl from the Wu family who had already married.

Wu Chunbai stopped, raised his eyebrows and looked at him quietly.

Wu Zhaobai sized her up, seeing her posture and expression, he guessed, "Why, that kid from the Qu family passed the Jinshi exam?"

The person he was talking about was a gentleman who Wu Chunbai had met in the past few years. This person is just in time for this year's spring, and today is the day when the Ministry of Rites will post the apricot list.

Wu Chunbai looked at him and smiled: "How would I know if he failed the exam?"

They only met once, and they haven't really settled on a marriage. Whether the other party passes the exam or not has nothing to do with her.In contrast, she has important issues that she herself prefers to focus on.

Wu Zhaobai looked at her suspiciously: "Then why are you so happy?"

Wu Chunbai raised his lips and smiled at him again: "I am naturally happy to see that the many bitter words that my brother poured out in recent days have come to nothing."

Wu Zhaobai's face tensed up: "What do you mean by that!"

Wu Chunbai walked away with his maidservant.

"You..." Wu Zhaobai was so angry that he stretched out his finger to her back, trying to stop her, but he knew that he couldn't do it, and it would only make him more embarrassing, so he stopped the two people who came back from the front yard and were in charge of preparing carriages and horses. The next person, cross-examine what happened.

"Back to my lord, the girl is going to the listening hall..."

Hearing these three words, Wu Zhaobai's eyelids jumped wildly.

The music in the listening hall is like the sounds of nature, and it used to be a clean place he loved very much, but since the girl surnamed Chang beat the Song Juren here by playing chess here, the listening hall has become a place that is praised by everyone. The perfect holy place for little girls!
First, the students of the Imperial College and her fellow members of the Wuer Society were praising her, and then his wolf-hearted younger sister recruited a group of official girls who were as crazy as her, and they would come to this hall from time to time. What kind of poetry party will be held...

They said it was a poetry meeting, but he secretly listened to it once. Eight out of ten sentences of those girls were inseparable from the girls of the Chang family. It's like taking five stones powder and being given ecstasy soup, it's really ruining the atmosphere!
But...however, those poems, calligraphy and paintings of theirs were spread, and they were still widely sought after, while his painstaking works were not paid attention to... This phenomenon made him feel sad, and he only hated the aesthetics of the world today, which is really absurd and sick.

It was okay at first, he was tolerant and patient for a while, but since the girl from the Chang family was named General Ning Yuan, these people have intensified to the point of anger and hatred!

Their poetry meeting has become bigger and bigger, and there are already countless people who drink the ecstasy soup together!

And today, his estranged younger sister suddenly went to the Listening Hall again, could it be... can't...

Combining with Wu Chunbai's words just now that "sour words are in vain", Wu Zhaobai had a bad premonition, and immediately asked on guard: "Is there any news about General Ningyuan, the son of Laoshi, sent back to the capital?"

"The villain just heard that it was General Ning Yuan who led the army to defeat the Xu army on the Bian River, and he personally beheaded Xu's thief!" The servant's tone was a little passionate.

It's no wonder that he, facing such a miraculous achievement that is bound to be recorded in the history books, his attitude is considered reserved, but now the pot of water outside has begun to bubble, and it is about to boil and explode.

Wu Zhaobai also exploded.

His ears exploded, and so did his brain: "...how is it possible?"

How could she suddenly appear in Bianshui, how could she seriously kill Xu Zhengye!
His friends have also analyzed it again and again. Her essay is clearly a sensationalist. When they were drunk, they laughed and said that if she could kill Xu Zhengye, they would dare to go naked. Come to Tingfang, where there live old eunuchs who leave the palace at an old age and can cleanse themselves with a knife. Since then, they have removed men's clothes, cut off men's roots, and become that "upstanding" girl!

After repeatedly confirming that the news was correct, Wu Zhaobai returned to the courtyard in dismay, drank a few ounces of wine, and began to chant poems while crying.

His wife signaled the wet nurse to take the four-year-old child down.

The husband's drunkenness is secondary, and the key poems are bad, which may spoil her child's path to education.

After the child left, she stepped forward to comfort her husband.

Wu Zhaobai grabbed the jug and raised his voice: "...Thinking of me, Wu Zhaobai, a man of seven feet, was born in a scholarly family. My grandfather once held the post of offering sacrifices to the Imperial Academy. My father is now in the position of minister of Taichang Temple, ruling the world. Jongmyo etiquette!"

His wife patted him on the shoulder and sighed, but he, a seven-foot man, couldn't even pass the exam for a long time.

Wu Zhaobai turned his head to look at his wife with sympathetic eyes, and suddenly burst into tears, plunged into his wife's arms, crying to vent.

"I am the only son of my father, the sole heir of three generations of the Wu family..."

His wife sighed again, this is probably the only thing he can talk about, right?

"However, my grandfather doesn't like me, and he has always favored Chunbai!"

His wife sighed again, and continued to pat him on the shoulder. There was no way, that grandfather, an old man, also had eyes.

"You must know that she is just a girl who will marry sooner or later! Why is grandfather so confused, it is clear that I will be the pillar of the Wu family in the future!"

His wife sighed again, but it might not be so, her son was already four years old, it could be said that her son was the first to make a fortune, and it was not only the husband who was the pillar.

Wu Zhaobai cried even more aggrieved, raised his head, and pointed his finger outside: "Since Chunbai was five years old, I can no longer hold my head up in this family! My friends outside also made fun of me behind my back! If she were a man, I would have no foothold!"

The young woman could no longer sigh—he didn't mention his own incompetence and mistakes.

"Chunbai is a talented woman who is famous in the capital, but I am gradually becoming a sour and rotten wood that cannot be carved in the eyes of my grandfather!"

"In the past, Chunbai still had two merits, but now it is good. Ever since the girl from the Chang family made a famous tiger picture in the Dengtai Tower, her heart has become wild, and she has become more and more disrespectful and entangled. I have driven countless women to go crazy together, I think they are going to have their backs now!"

As he spoke, he shattered the jug with a "snap".

"What a big victory in Bianshui, how can it prove that it must be her own ability!"

"Yin and yang are reversed, reversed, and there will be no day for us to display our ambitions... Great prosperity is in danger!"

"Husband, be careful!" The woman finally spoke, covered her husband's mouth, and said in a low voice, "Beware of misfortune coming out of your mouth!" What's more, there is no day for "I'm waiting for a man" to display his ambitions. Which one on today's apricot list is not a man?He's not good enough, he's always talking nonsense, and it's obviously him who is going crazy!

Wu Zhaobai pushed his wife's hand away and said dissatisfiedly, "What I said is the truth!"

"I know, just like what Chun Bai said, today's saints are also women, which is enough to prove that women are not inferior to men..." He gritted his teeth and said, "But what does she know? It's just superficial! Today's saints The reason why he can be crowned the Great Treasure is not because of the numerous achievements made by His Royal Highness the former Crown Prince!"

"His Royal Highness is not a woman! All these credits cannot be attributed to the woman!"

"The sage first entered the palace, but he was just a young man... First, the mother is more expensive according to the child, and then he got lucky, and he reached the sky in one step!"

"If His Highness the Crown Prince hadn't died young, where would it be her turn to be a woman..."

"Slap!" A windy slap suddenly interrupted his words.

Wu Zhaobai's eyes widened, and he looked at his wife in disbelief: "You...you dare to hit me!"

"How dare I!" The woman looked distressed, and hurried to check his face: "Just now a flying insect landed on my husband's face, and I was in a hurry..."

Wu Zhaobai stayed where he was, staring at her blankly, feeling that the order of the world was about to collapse, and he couldn't tell the truth from the fake.

The woman hurriedly fetched another jug ​​and poured wine for him: "A husband's ambition is hard to repay, I know..."

She brought the wine cup to Wu Zhaobai's lips, and Wu Zhaobai swallowed it mechanically.

She poured another cup: "Everyone is drunk and the husband is alone..."

"My husband will always have his day..."

After pouring such a pot of wine, Wu Zhaobai was finally so drunk that he couldn't speak a complete sentence.

The woman put down the jug, flicked her sleeves, and called a servant to come in and serve her.

Turning around, she went to see Mrs. Wu and explained her husband's dangerous words and deeds today.

Old Master Wu rubbed his temples, then gave orders to confine him for three months.

Every year at this time is the best time for Huichun Pavilion's business, because people are more likely to worry more in spring.

In addition, the apricot list has been opened, and the jealousy of his disappointing grandson is bound to cause serious crimes again. The jealousy needs to be protected from light, so it is better to shut it down.

Wu Zhaobai was brutally grounded while drunk, and Wu Chunbai just came to the listening hall.

Cars and horses are difficult to travel along the way, and the streets and alleys are crowded with people, which is even more lively than during the New Year's Eve.

Wu Chunbai heard many people rushing to tell the good news of Xu Zhengye's death, and some people lit firecrackers, and the name of "General Ningyuan" was always in the voices of those running around.

Of course, at the moment everyone is talking about the names that appear on the apricot list with enthusiasm.

When stepping into the Listening Hall, Wu Chunbai just heard a literati in the hall, talking about the first place in the apricot list this year.

"...It's that Song Xian, Song Juren!"

"But the one who lost to General Ning Yuan in the chess game here last year?!"

"Exactly!"

Hearing this, Wu Chunbai couldn't help covering his mouth and smiling.

As expected of her regular sister.

Good night everyone, I have recently suffered from a back disease (I have suffered from a herniated lumbar disc at a young age), and I will move across cities next time, so I will take it easy for a while, and try to keep the daily changes under the premise of quality, love you~
