Chapter 40

Perhaps it was because he learned the name yesterday that Xie Qingyun was obviously much more affable the next day.

He was in high spirits early in the morning, and he smiled throughout the breakfast, looking at everyone with almost loving eyes.

Yinsheng Yinyue was so frightened that she didn't dare to raise her head the whole time, and could only keep grabbing food in her mouth.

However, what was even more terrifying was not only Xie Qingyun's reaction, but also the Heavenly Monk.

Because Yinsheng Yinyue clearly saw Xie Qingyun pick out the meat filling from the bun, and throw the bun skin into the bowl of Tianseng.

But the latter did not eat it silently as usual.

Instead, he put the bun skin back and said, "Don't be picky about your food."

Xie Qingyun pursed her lips and protested: "Who is as picky about food as your monk?"

But he ate the skin obediently...

Eat the skin...

eat it...

go down...

Xie Qingyun never eats bun skin!
Yinsheng Yinyue almost used her head as a chopstick and stuck it into her rice to show that she didn't see anything.

Fortunately, the scary breakfast didn't last long.

The four of them had to go on their way and couldn't delay.

I packed my luggage and quickly continued to Jiangnan according to the established route.

Xie Qingyun is here to find someone.

The person most capable of changing the imperial examination.

..................................................................

After several days of traveling, the group finally arrived at Jiangnan as quickly as possible.

From today onwards, they no longer need to live in the official post, but directly live in Xue's residence.

Xue Fang was born in Jiangnan. After knowing that Xie Qingyun was going to Jiangnan, he quickly proposed that he could move into Xue's mansion as his benefactor's daughter.

This not only facilitates movement, but also ensures Xie Qingyun's safety to a certain extent.

However, because of Xie Qingyun's special status, even though she moved into the Xue Mansion, even the people in the Xue Mansion did not know that Xie Qingyun was the emperor.

However, because she was the benefactor's daughter and Xue Fang greeted them in advance, Xie Qingyun and her party were still warmly received.

Xue Fang's mother even came out to greet him in person.

The old lady was over 70, her eyes were not blurred and her hands were not trembling. After welcoming the person into the house, she held a cup of tea and started chatting with Xie Qingyun about home affairs.

"How old is this Miss Huang?" Old Mrs. Xue asked.

Xie Qingyun smiled as sweetly as the girl next door: "I'm nineteen years old."

Mrs. Xue nodded: "You are 19 years old and you are not yet married to someone else?"

"Yes."

Xie Qingyun seemed a little regretful: "My parents died early, and no one made the decision."

Mrs. Xue ouched: "What a poor child. It must have been very hard for so many years, right? When did your parents die?"

Xie Qingyun said: "Yongping 35 years."

"Ah, isn't that the first year of Anhe, the year when the new emperor ascended the throne?" Mrs. Xue said in surprise.

Yinsheng Yinyue, who knew the truth, looked at his nose and heart, and lowered his head in tacit understanding after hearing this.

Xie Qingyun nodded: "Yes."

Mrs. Xue sighed: "A lot of people died that year."

Xu Shi regarded Xie Qingyun as one of the victims of the coup that year, and Mrs. Xue understood the situation and did not ask any more questions.

She quickly turned her eyes to the silent Heavenly Monk next to Xie Qingyun: "Is this Mr. Huang?"

Xie Qingyun smiled and said: "Yes, my brother is withdrawn and doesn't like to talk, which makes the old lady laugh."

Mrs. Xue waved her hands and was about to say some polite words when she saw a pink figure walking in from the corner of her eye. "Guang'er." Mrs. Xue greeted her quickly with kind eyes.

Xue Jingguang walked in and leaned slightly: "Greetings to grandma."

Mrs. Xue nodded repeatedly, took her granddaughter's hand and sat down next to her, and introduced Xie Qingyun to her: "This is Miss Huang, the daughter of your father's benefactor. She will live in our house for a while from now on."

"She is a few years younger than you. She is your younger sister. You have to let her go." Old Mrs. Xue asked.

Xue Jingguang smiled and said: "Grandma, do you think your granddaughter is a narrow-minded person? It's too late for my granddaughter to be happy when a playmate comes to the house, so how can she treat her sister badly?"

Mrs. Xue feigned anger and said, "Stubborn mouth!"

There was clearly doting in his eyes.

Xie Qingyun felt envious when she saw the laughter and laughter of her grandparents.

She doesn't have a grandmother.

It is said that because her father was too young when he ascended the throne, the ministers were afraid that her grandmother would interfere in the government affairs, so they forced her to become a monk.

Within a few months, her grandmother hanged herself in a nunnery.

At this time, Xue Jingguang also looked at Xie Qingyun, curiously looking at her: "Has my sister read any books?"

Xie Qingyun said: "I have read some, but not much."

Xue Jingguang nodded: "Just read it. Girls need to read some books."

Hearing her mention this matter, Mrs. Xue couldn't help but sigh: "Who do you think is you? Every day, instead of thinking about how to be a good wife and mother in the future, you just ponder those useless Four Books and Five Classics."

Although she said this, the pride flying in the corners of her eyes exposed her heart.

Her granddaughter is very powerful and is a famous talented girl in Jiangnan.

A few years ago, she went to the capital to help Xue Fang handle political affairs for a period of time. Xue Fang wrote a letter praising her for her high talent and intelligence.

Xue Jingguang smiled and said: "Today, the Holy Father will let women take the imperial examination. When my granddaughter goes to high school in the future, their men will join my Xue family and become a good husband and a good father."

Mrs. Xue ouched and tapped her forehead: "How dare you say such a thing!"

"Then the women's imperial examination was just a piece of news, but it was so opposed. How could it really become a thing?"

"Besides, the emperor never mentioned this matter again, and even thought about giving up."

"Well, after all, it's thousands of years of ethics and rules set by our ancestors. How can we change them just by changing them?" Old Mrs. Xue sighed.

Xue Jingguang was not convinced: "The emperor has always done what he said, and he has never broken his promise."

"Besides, the teacher of all the scholars in the world is in Jiangnan. The worst I can do is go and beg him. As long as he speaks, all those opposing voices will stand aside!" Xue Jingguang vowed.

Mrs. Xue shook her head, thinking her granddaughter was really crazy.

"It's up to you? I'm afraid I will be kicked out without even touching the threshold of that person."

"Look at the King of Chu, isn't he rich in knowledge and powerful in his position?"

"It's been half a month, and I'm still getting rejected every day."

"If the King of Chu is not good enough, how can you impress others?"

Mrs. Xue said: "I'm afraid that if the current Holy Emperor comes to Jiangnan in person, he may not be willing to receive him."

"Not to mention that it is impossible for the current Holy Emperor to come all the way to Jiangnan for such a trivial matter."

Although the women's imperial examination is coveted, it is really unthinkable.

The old lady of the Xue family and Xue Jingguang talked to each other, each holding his own opinion.

Without paying any attention, Xie Qingyun fell into silence after hearing the word "King of Chu".

King of Chu?

uncle?

Why did he come to Jiangnan?
And why do you have to visit that person every day?

A trace of confusion flashed in Xie Qingyun's eyes.
