He Yin held his breath, his face turned red and he was speechless. Seeing Xu Miaoyun giving the hairpin to He Rong, he finally couldn't help crying: "You bully me, you bully me!"

He Ling, his appearance, and his appearance were all a little panicked. They knew that Mrs. He loved He Yin the most. If He Yin made a fuss, they might not get anything in the end and would be punished.

He Rong timidly took out the hairpin: "I'll give this to you."

He Yin threw it aside without even looking at it: "It's not for me. I don't care about it. I've never seen any good things."

He Rong looked at Xu Miaoyun as if asking for help. Xu Miaoyun wiped He Yin's tears with a handkerchief: "I'm sorry, Sister Yin, I made a joke to you. How could I not prepare a gift for you? Here is the thing."

Here." She said and took out a gold hairpin. This gold hairpin was inlaid with gold and jewels. It was very gorgeous and stung He Yin's eyes. She pulled the veil and wiped her tears with a hint of meaning in her voice.

Willing: "Is it really for me?"

Xu Miaoyun said: "Yes, my aunt made this hairpin for me when I was in Dengzhou. I can't bear to wear it. If you don't want it, it's just right. I can't bear it." He Yin said that he wanted to take it back.

He snatched it away and said, "You might want to take something back if you give it to someone else?"

Xu Miaoyun smiled and said, "Sister Na Yin is not angry with me anymore?"

He Yin fiddled with the gold hairpin and felt a little calm, but when he saw what He Ling and the others were holding, he became angry again: "What about my little monkey?"

Xu Miaoyun took a small box from Dangui, which contained two identical little monkeys, bracelets and gold hairpins. She gave them to those who didn't have them: "It's a gift from me to my sisters. There are many things. I only got them last night."

Pack it out."

He Ling, He Zi and He Rong each got the little monkey bracelet and the gold hairpin, and they all thanked him. He Yin also got it. Seeing that she was the only one who had the gold hairpin, and no one else had, they felt balanced. Xu Miaoyun took her back to her own house.

He just pouted in his seat and did not object.

Seeing He Yin looking over and over at a few small things, Xu Miaoyun smiled and said, "I refuse what the gentleman said."

He Yin was stunned for a while before he realized what Xu Miaoyun said. He was shocked and said: "Are you crazy? Don't you want to enter Shen Yan Tower?"

Xu Miaoyun shrugged indifferently: "I'm not interested in studying. It doesn't matter whether I go or not."

He Yin muttered as if looking at a monster: "That's Shen Yan Tower."

Then he snorted again: "That's right. If you don't study hard even when Mr. Qingshan teaches you, it will be useless to enter Shenyan Tower."

Xu Miaoyun just smiled and said nothing. He Yinwu muttered to herself: "Chen Yan Tower is nothing special. Isn't it just that Mr. Liu is better? Mr. Liu is the number one scholar. They are all princesses there. Maybe you will be bullied if you go in."

.”

He Yin didn't shut up until Mr. Liu came. Mr. Liu didn't react at all, and continued his lecture. When the time came, he helped the boy go back. He Yin took Xu Miaoyun's things, finally had some conscience, and invited Xu Miaoyun to have dinner with him.

According to the rules of the He family, except for the first day of the lunar month and the fifteenth day of the lunar month and major festivals, each room eats in each room on weekdays. Xu Miaoyun did not refuse and ordered the dishes politely: "I want to eat Buddha Jumping Over the Wall, braised lion's head, and steamed crab noodles.

.”

He Yin rolled his eyes: "You are really picky. It's just the first two, where are the crabs now?"

Xu Miaoyun smiled and said: "Then let's steam the yellow croaker. Sister Tingyin said, don't be picky."

He Yin snorted, but still generously asked the maid to go to the kitchen to order, and said, "It's all in my account."

The girl followed the order and left. He Yin finally had a smile on his face, and took Xu Miaoyun to see her parrot: "I can imitate people's speech and is very smart."

The two of them had a meal in He Yin's yard, played with the parrot, and took a nap together. From then on, He Yin regarded Xu Miaoyun as a friend, chatting with her, knowing that Xu Miaoyun had something better than her, although he still curled his lips, but

Just walk away and ignore people.

In February, Xu Jinghuan couldn't go out more and more. In addition to reviewing his homework every day, even Grandma He became nervous. Xu Jinghuan had already reached Jieyuan. Although the exam was already in his pocket, he was afraid that someone would

She secretly stumbled, so Mrs. He took out the precautions she had taken when she was pregnant. Xu Jinghuan ate and drank from the small kitchen in her yard. Fortunately, Xu Jinghuan did not have the habit of eating snacks except for three meals a day. Mrs. He every day

She didn't even bother to ask someone to deliver food every day, just thinking that she was delivering supplements to Xu Jinghuan.

The ninth day of February was the first session of the examination. He Bingshu personally sent Xu Jinghuan and Dong Zicheng to Gongyuan. He originally participated in this year's provincial examination, but failed, so he missed the examination. It was a pity that he missed the examination. It was also because of this that he learned about Yuan Dynasty.

I admire Xu Jinghuan very much, and these days I just obey Xu Jinghuan's words.

The examination was divided into three sessions. The first session was on the ninth day of the lunar month, the second session was on the 12th day of the lunar month, and the third session was on the 15th day of the lunar month. When the three examinations were over, He Bingshu brought his servants to pick him up. Xu Jinghuan was okay. After passing the provincial examination

I was used to it, and besides being listless and pale, there was nothing wrong with it. Dong Zicheng, on the other hand, collapsed as soon as he left the gate of the Gongyuan, which shocked everyone.

On the second day after the exam, Zhang Sa posted a message inviting Xu Jinghuan and Dong Zicheng to have a drink. Xu Jinghuan went to the banquet, but came back drunk. This was a rare thing, because Xu Jinghuan had a good drinker, and usually restrained himself and rarely drank.

Now that he was very drunk, Xu Miaoyun was a little worried and asked Dangui to deliver sobering soup. When Dangui came back, he smiled and said, "The second young master is not drunk at all. He is just pretending. Please don't worry, girl."

Xu Miaoyun was surprised: "Brother, why are you pretending to be drunk?"

Dangui said: "Listen to the second young master, today the second master Zhang invites many nobles to drink with him. After listening to the compliments of the second master Zhang, he said that the second young master is as good as eight dou, so everyone cheered and toasted.

It’s not okay for the young master not to drink, but if he drinks all of it, he will really be drunk to death, so he will just drink half of it and pretend to be drunk."

Xu Miaoyun was relieved. When Xu Jinghuan came to greet Grandma He, she asked Xu Jinghuan: "Who are you drinking with?"

Xu Jinghuan smiled, pinched her double-ringed bun, and said, "You don't have to worry about these things. Just take care of yourself."

Xu Miaoyun pouted and was very unhappy: "Brother, don't hide everything from me. Let me know. Although you can't help, you don't have to worry."

Xu Jinghuan smiled. He felt that Xu Miaoyun had become more sensible recently, so he explained one by one: "Zhang Sa, you know that besides him, there are also Xie Yushu, the eldest young master of Zhenguo Palace, Xie Yushu's cousin Xie Yuwu, and

There is Yang Minzhi from Duke Yun's Palace, the same Jin Yiwei who went to Hangzhou to arrest people and commanded the Qian affairs, and Prince Kang's second son, Prince Anyi."

Xu Miaoyun's heart beat loudly: "Prince Kang?"

Xu Jinghuan's expression was a little solemn: "Prince Anyi invited me to study in his palace, but I declined. Now that the decree has not been made, it is better to avoid suspicion."

Xu Miaoyun thought of the Zhang family again and said anxiously: "Did my brother ask Yang Minzhi about the Zhang family? I don't know how Bao'er is doing."

Xu Jinghuan smiled bitterly: "How is it appropriate to say this in this kind of situation? I plan to settle down in two days and then invite Yang Minzhi to drink and talk about it."

Worried that Xu Miaoyun would know too much, he changed the subject: "Are you okay in the inner court? Is anyone bullying you?"

Xu Miaoyun shook her head and said: "No one bullies me. I read and write every day and live a good life." But she was still worried about the Zhang family's affairs.

At this time, the Hanlin Academy was brightly lit. The examiner for this year's examination was Mr. Feng, a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy. He was also the examiner in Hangzhou this year. Mr. Feng's full name was Feng Yiquan. His father, Feng De, was the emperor's companion when he was in his residence.

Therefore, although he was only in his thirties, he was deeply loved by the emperor.

Feng Yiquan ranked relatively low in the imperial examination and was originally not qualified to enter the Hanlin Academy. However, the emperor put him on an equal footing with the number one scholar and served as editor. However, because of this, Feng Yiquan's popularity in the Hanlin Academy was not good.

After all, everyone had studied hard in Han Chuang and cherished each other, but Feng Yiquan had gotten in by relying on favors. It was inevitable that people would be dissatisfied. Qingliu and Xungui always disliked each other.

Perhaps because of this, the emperor later wanted to transfer Feng Yiquan to the Ministry of Civil Affairs, but Feng Yiquan refused because he was not qualified enough. However, he still did not gain the recognition of his colleagues. He was high-spirited, so he stayed in the Hanlin Academy.

Coincidentally, except for Feng Yiquan, all the Hanlin examiners this time were all old Hanlins over forty years old. Although their families were poor, they were really knowledgeable and were accustomed to relying on their talents and arrogance. They did not take Feng Yiquan seriously at all.

After reviewing the papers, they all agreed that Xu Jinghuan's paper should be graded as Huiyuan, but Feng Yiquan took the emperor's word that Xu Jinghuan should not be ranked too high, and the two sides quarreled fiercely.

Feng Yiquan looked at the five seniors opposite him who were looking at him eagerly, and was so angry that he couldn't speak. Shi Hanlin still muttered to himself: "The imperial examination has always been based on talent and learning rather than status. It cannot be what Mr. Feng says. If this is the case,

, why is the court even bothering with this? It can just get a roster and ask Mr. Feng to pick the ones that please him."

Wang Hanlin echoed: "If you don't grade the papers impartially, it will inevitably chill the hearts of the students."

Feng Yiquan patiently explained again: "Xu Jinghuan's article is undoubtedly the first. Even the emperor had no objection after reading it. However, Xu Jinghuan's father, Xu Jianming, died in prison for having an affair with pirates. Although the emperor was magnanimous, he did not pursue the case in the end.

, But after all, Xu Jinghuan is the son of a guilty minister. If he is designated as Huiyuan, how should the emperor explain to the world?"
