The eldest lady has no taboos in what she does

The next day, all the candidates left the examination room after the examination.

Gu Wenbin's bones were sore after lying in that cubicle for several days.

However, after the two returned home, no one asked them how they did in the exam.

Gu Wenbin couldn't help but said: "Grandpa, why don't you ask me and my eldest brother if we did well in the exam?"

Gu Jiancheng raised his head and glanced at him, "It doesn't matter whether it's good or not."

"Hey, Grandpa, are you so open-minded now?"

Gu Jiancheng shook his head. In fact, news of what happened in the exam room today had already spread. He heard that someone seemed to have leaked the exam questions, and the results of this exam were likely to be invalid.

So it doesn't matter whether Gu Wenjun or the others do well or not, since they don't know how to count anyway.

"Wow, little junior sister, the food at your home is really good."

While talking, Gu Mengyin brought Jingchen into the house.

Jingchen's eyes almost popped out of his head when he looked at the table of food.

"Great aunt, this is."

Gu Mengyin went to the main seat and sat down, "This is my senior brother. He will stay in the house temporarily for a few days."

Jingchen couldn't wait to squeeze Gu Mengyin to sit down, then stretched out his hand and pulled off a chicken leg.

But before the chicken drumstick reached his mouth, Gu Mengyin took it away.

"Senior brother, you don't need to grow any longer. Eat less meat."

Jingchen glared at her sadly, "I still need to grow my brain."

Gu Jiancheng watched the two of them eat and asked the Gu family to sit down.

"Auntie, where did you go last night? The third child said that you never came out after entering the examination room."

Gu Mengyin threw the chicken bones on the table and put a piece of pork elbow into her mouth. She had spent too much to deal with the dream-eating beast last night and she was already starving.

"Well, there was something wrong in the examination room last night. I went to solve it. By the way." Gu Mengyin looked at Gu Wenbin, "You said before that the North Campus has a good relationship with the Luo family?"

Gu Wenbin nodded, "Yes, my cousin has always wanted to get married to the Luo family, but the Luo family looks down on them."

Gu Mengyin raised her eyebrows, "It's a good thing that the Luo family doesn't look down on them, otherwise they would be in trouble this time."

Luo Ji was arrested, and Luo Qi, the head of the Luo family, got the news early in the morning.

After learning the reason why Luo Ji was arrested, Luo Qi was so angry that he almost overturned the teahouse.

"Master, please don't worry about being angry. You should try to save Ji'er. That child made mistakes because he was ignorant." Luo Ji is the eldest son of the Luo family, and he has had high hopes since he was a child.

Luo Qiguan worshiped as the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and almost all officials in the court were promoted and appointed through his hands. As long as Luo Ji was elected, he, the father, would be able to pave his official career smoothly in the future.

But Luo Ji is not a good reader. He may not be able to understand the content that other children know after reading it dozens of times since childhood.

Luo Qi's ultimatum to him was that he must pass the exam even if his grades were poor, so that he could arrange for him to serve in the court. After all, it was said that the regent would personally mark the exam, and none of them dared to take it from him. Doing tricks.

But Luo Ji knew that it would be difficult to pass the exam on his own, so he had a crooked idea and tried every means to get the exam questions.

If the crime of cheating in the college entrance examination is confirmed, Luo Ji will never be able to become an official in this life, and may even implicate the Luo family.

Luo Qi immediately asked the people serving Luo Ji to come over and ask what was going on.

The attendant was frightened when he learned that Luo Ji had been arrested, "Master, please spare my life. I don't know what happened, but half a month ago, the eldest son met a Taoist priest outside the city, and the Taoist priest gave him many talismans." Paper, I don’t even know what it is..."

Luo Qi almost stopped breathing after hearing this, "What Taoist priest? Where is the Taoist priest?"

The attendant shook his head and said, "I don't know, even the little one." The attendant said that Luo Ji had been worried about the big exam during this period. He went outside the city to relax that day and almost fell down the mountain on the way. He was later saved by a Taoist priest. .

The Taoist priest said that Luo Ji had no official career, and even if his family was prosperous, it would be difficult for him to pursue an official career.

These words directly hit Luo Ji's pain point, but the Taoist priest changed the subject and said that he could help Luo Ji change his life against the will of heaven, so he gave him many talismans.

Later, the attendants who had been muttering to each other didn't hear them either.

"You stupid fool, you actually listened to the stupid words of a Taoist priest."

"Go and ask the housekeeper to take out my painting "Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains". I want to go to Zhu's Mansion."

There are countless dignitaries in Xijing, but four major families have remained standing for many years.

The Luo family is one of them, but compared with the Zhu family, the Luo family is far behind.

Since the ancestor emperor, the four major families have been interdependent, which is one of the important reasons why they have been able to stand firm in the past hundred years.

After Luo Qi arrived at Zhu's house, the housekeeper of Zhu's house took him directly to the reception hall.

The person who came out to see him was not the head of the family, Mrs. Zhu, but his eldest son Zhu Liqun.

"Master Zhu."

Zhu Liqun's official position was not as high as that of Luo Qi, but Luo Qi did not dare to put on airs in front of the Zhu family.

"Master Luo is here, please take a seat."

The big exam was no small matter, and Luo Qi bluntly stated his intention.

"It is true that Quanzi was deceived because of his lack of consideration. I am very anxious and don't know what to do. I wonder if Mr. Zhu has any good ideas?"

Zhu Liqun was silent for a moment before saying, "Can we find the Taoist priest?"

"We have sent people to look for him." But the possibility of finding an unknown Taoist priest was almost zero.

"Since the regent already knows about this matter, I'm afraid it will be difficult to handle."

Of course Luo Qi knew it was difficult, otherwise he wouldn't have found him.

He took out the "Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains" and said, "This painting was collected by my grandfather. I remember that Mr. Zhu liked it very much. I brought the painting over today and wanted to ask Mr. Zhu to appreciate it."

Zhu Liqun took a look at the painting and his expression softened a little.

"Master Luo, you're welcome. I will discuss this matter with my father and see if there is any way to get the regent to deal with it leniently."

After saying this, he did not say anything. Luo Qi was afraid that the Zhu family did not want to be tainted with right and wrong, so he lowered his voice and said: "Master Zhu, Zhu, Luo, Wang, and Chen are the same family. Only when we are tightly twisted into a hemp rope can we If it can continue to grow in the long run, if one part is torn, then the next time it is torn, you won’t know who it is.”

The smile on Zhu Liqun's face remained unchanged, "Master Luo said yes."

Luo Qi's words have come to this point. If he talks too much, he will offend others. "Then I will take my leave first."

"Send Master Luo."

After Luo Qi left, Zhu Liqun took the painting to Mr. Zhu's study.

In the study, behind an eight-part screen, Mr. Zhu, dressed in a vermilion round-collar brocade robe, swayed gently on a mahogany rocking chair with his eyes closed.

"Father."

"Huh? Luo Qi left?"

"I just left, and I brought the "Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains" over here."

After hearing this, Mr. Zhu opened his eyes and smiled, "Now I know I'm scared."
