"Humph, I'm far behind you." Li Diyao's eyes swept over a plate full of cherry seeds.

Ying Ning smiled and said: "Second brother, I heard from eldest brother that the family is going to show you the future second sister-in-law?"

"Isn't it because I got second place? Those idle noble ladies have been running towards our house in droves these two days, and every lady wants to marry into our house. How can I cope with so many?

"

Ying Ning laughed and scolded: "Look at how beautiful you are, do you think she wants to marry you together?"

"It's too much to choose from."

"Didn't the second brother have a girl he liked before this?"

"Your second brother has been in the academy for several years, surrounded by stinky men like Lu Qinghan. He only reads books about sages and doesn't listen to what's going on outside the window. How could he meet girls outside?" Li Diyao complained.

Ying Ning smiled and said: "Then let mother choose the right one for you. Start a family first, then start a career."

"I'm not in a hurry. I'd better take care of your business first."

Li Diyao ate all the cakes on the plate and drank two cups of tea. When he was full and full, he was about to drag Lu Qinghan away.

Tomorrow they will go to the Ministry of Civil Affairs to report, and then go to the Hanlin Academy to serve.

Need to go back early to prepare.

Ying Ning stopped them: "Master Lu, please stay, I have a few more words to say to you."

Li Diyao pouted: "I've been talking for so long and haven't said enough yet? It's really boring. I can't stand this. Brother Lu, I'll wait for you at the door."

Although he complained, his movements were not slow.

It was obvious that he trusted Lu Qinghan's character very much and felt comfortable leaving him alone with his sister.

Lu Qinghan stayed where he was, looking a little embarrassed and shy.

Ying Ning waved generously: "Come sit here and talk."

"good."

Lu Qinghan sat down as he was told.

Ying Ning said: "About that article, I have to formally explain it to you, so as not to create a gap between you and me."

Lu Qinghan smiled and waved his hand: "You are so cautious. I thought I had done something wrong. I was nervous for a long time. So it was because of this? Even if you lied to me, I am willing and even a little happy."

"ah?"

"The fact that you bothered to test me back then shows that you cared about me at that time, and I was naturally... happy." Lu Qinghan said with a smile, "What's more, you are a woman, no matter how cautiously you treat the person you want to spend your life with.

It’s absolutely no exaggeration. You must not feel uneasy or guilty about it.”

Ying Ning thought to herself, I feel guilty about testing you, but not much.

She smiled and said: "In that case, I won't say anything else. In fact, the reason why I gave you that article has another most important purpose."

"Ying Ning, please tell me."

"Do you know who wrote this article?"

"Excuse my stupidity."

"Actually, even if I don't tell you, you will know it soon." Yingning said with a smile, "This article was written by Gao Yangzhi when you were taking the examination."

"So it's him?"

Lu Qinghan was surprised and thought for a while, "It wouldn't be surprising if he said it was written by him."

Although Gao Yangzhi is not very old, he has participated in the examination for many years. His behavior and writing style are more tactful and sophisticated, which is normal.

Lu Qinghan immediately realized something was wrong: "He only wrote the article when he was able to take the test. Why did you know about it so early?" Then his face changed slightly, "Could it be that he cheated and the question was leaked?"
