"Hehehe...Lin Ziru! You've grown so tall after a few years! You're even taller than me!"
After recognizing Lin Ziru at the door just now, Feng Shuiqing invited him into Feng Mansion. Now he was drinking tea and talking in the front hall.
"Yes, eldest sister." Lin Ziru smiled shyly, with a blush on his jade-like face, "I just finished taking the spring exam, and I thought I would come to see you after not seeing you for many years, but unexpectedly you happened to be at the door.
meet!"
"Spring exam?!" Feng Shuiqing couldn't help but think again.
Dayao held an entrance exam every year to select talents and recruit talents for the court.
There are two quarters every year, the spring exam and the summer exam, both held in the imperial city.
If you want to participate in these two exams, you must take the provincial exam in advance. Only the tributes who get the first place will be eligible to enter the imperial city to participate in the final palace exam.
That's why Feng Shui Qing was so surprised.
As far as she knows, at least 10,000 people are required to participate in various local provincial examinations.
Lin Ziru was able to take the spring exam, which shows that he is one of those ten thousand, he is really awesome!
"Yes!" Lin Ziru's face added a bit of confidence and pride, his eyes were bright, "After Fang Yongnan's incident, my mother and I cashed in the money and moved to Lewu County. I didn't live in Lewu County for the past two years.
If I can get tribute, this year..."
"Then you are really awesome! How did you do in the spring exam?" Seeing that Lin Ziru's tea cup was empty, Feng Shui Qingyan filled it up for him again with a smile.
"The results haven't been released yet, so I don't know..." Lin Ziru scratched his head, "However, I won't be discouraged even if I fail. I will continue to participate in the examination! I will definitely do well in the exam!"
"Yeah! Be ambitious!"
"Qingqing!"
The two of them were talking when Feng Yunzhi came back from outside the house. After being introduced by his sister, his handsome eyes could not conceal his surprise, "Are you Lin Ziru, who scored the highest in this year's provincial examination?"
"Hmm...hehe..."
Feng Yunzhi had just been promoted from Qingxue to Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs this year, and he happened to be in charge of the entrance examination and other related matters.
He was deeply impressed. The person with the highest score in this provincial examination was far ahead of the rest of the candidates!
The Minister of Civil Affairs also told him that this person had great potential and might win the top prize in the spring and summer exams.
And that young man was only sixteen years old, and he had a bright future!
Unexpectedly, this rising star is actually in his home! He is also an old acquaintance of his precious sister!
"Good boy!" Feng Yunzhi put one hand on Lin Ziru's shoulder and squeezed, "Recently, the Ministry of Personnel is reviewing the spring examination papers, and the results will be released in a few days, and..."
As he spoke, Feng Yunzhi looked back at his sister lovingly, and the smile on his face became gentler and brighter, "Since you and Qingqing are old acquaintances, and you have come from a long distance to take the exam, please stay in Feng Mansion before passing the exam.
, save some money."
"This..." Lin Ziru was grateful, but with his shy temperament... he was really in trouble.
"What the second brother said is correct!" Feng Shuiqing stretched out his hand and patted his head, "There are many rooms in Feng Mansion, and it would be a waste if they were left empty. It is not easy for your mother to provide for you to study, so you should save some accommodation fees! Besides, you live in Feng Mansion.
It’s just a matter of adding a pair of chopsticks! Don’t be burdened!”
Feng Shuiqing truly regarded Lin Ziru as his little brother. He still remembered that when he first met him many years ago, he helplessly hugged his seriously ill mother and called for help, and even divided the only food in half and left it to her mother.
She was really pleased that such a filial child had achieved such results.
Lin Ziru's eyes were red with excitement. Her mother was really tired from taking the provincial examinations continuously in the past few years.
During the day, I helped people sew embroidery, and at night I had to go out and do odd jobs.
Even though Feng Shuiqing gave them a lot of money when they parted ways in the imperial city last time, there was not much money left to prepare for the exam.
Over the years, he has been extremely grateful to his eldest sister, so he came to Feng Mansion to look for her, thinking of expressing his solemn thanks again.
Now, at a glance, even his second brother, even though he holds a high position in the imperial court, is so approachable!
Big sister and her family.
All are kind people.
The three of them talked for a while. Seeing that lunch time was approaching, Feng Shui Qing sent his servant to lead Lin Ziru.
Go choose a room.
She also wanted to go to the palace to feed the devil for lunch.
When Feng Yunzhi saw his sister walking out in a hurry, she understood in her heart.
In the past three years, since Hyunchen Mandrill fell into deep sleep, his baby sister seemed to be living in a royal palace. Even if he returned home, he would not be able to stay long before he had to go back to take care of him.
As a brother, he felt heartbroken.
Seeing that young ladies of the same age as my sister are getting married one after another, even if King Qinglin is just sleeping, who can guarantee that he will wake up?
His precious sister should not suffer along with him, but should look forward.
"Qingqing."
Hearing his second brother's call, Feng Shuiqing took back his foot that had just stepped out of the threshold, "Second brother? What's the matter?"
Feng Yunshang stepped forward and took his sister's cold little hand, pinching her thin face distressedly, "In the past three years, for the sake of King Qinglin...Hey, the second brother knows that you are devoted to him, but...sister, you have arrived
The age at which you get married cannot always be like this..."
"Second brother!"
Feng Shuiqing shook off his hand and cut off his words, "Xuanchen Mandrill will definitely wake up! Second brother, my sister knows that you are doing it for my own good, but my sister's heart can no longer tolerate others! Ah Mandrill has sacrificed too much for me, I
How can we give up and abandon him?"
Her voice became more choked and she held back her tears, "What's more, the two of us have signed the marriage certificate together! We are now a legitimate couple! My husband is in jail, and I am his wife, and I want to accompany him through the difficulties!"
"
Her sister's eyes were completely covered with tears, and Feng Yunzhi knew that even if he broke his mouth, he would not be able to shake her heart.
"Okay..." He took his sister's little hand again and gave her a firm look, "Mountains and seas have their own return dates, and wind and rain have their own encounters. The second brother will never say that again, but you have to eat on time and don't ruin your body.
"
"Hehe..." Feng Shuiqing wiped her tears into her second brother's arms and raised her bright smile, "Thank you, second brother! My sister will be obedient!"
The royal bedroom.
Pei Gao had just wiped His Highness's body and was about to feed him lunch when Feng Shuiqing walked into the room and took the bowl from his hand, "I'll do it, you go and have a rest."
Beside the couch, Feng Shuiqing gently fed the millet paste mixed with egg yolk into the devil's mouth, while still thinking about what had just happened:
"Demon King, let me tell you! That Lin Ziru actually got the first place in the provincial examination!"
"Now he has just taken the spring exam. When the results come out, he may win the top prize!"
"Hahaha...that kid is so awesome!"
Feng Shuiqing wiped the paste stains from the corners of Hyunchen Mandrill's mouth with a handkerchief and continued feeding, "So, you should wake up soon! If Lin Ziru really wins the top prize, let's celebrate him together! Hehehe..."
The bowl of rice cereal reached the bottom. Feng Shuiqing placed the empty bowl on the table and carefully wiped the corners of his lips.
His jade face was still infinitely handsome, his long eyelashes were drooping, and his breathing was steady and calm.
She was mesmerized for a moment, raised her hand to cover his face, and rubbed it gently with her fingertips, "Just now my second brother told me that he wanted me to marry someone else. I don't want it! I told you that I only want to marry you.
!」
She took out an exquisite small box from her purse. Inside was the wedding invitation card written by both of them with a pen. "You have also finished your meal, so I will go to the palace and ask the emperor to stamp the imperial seal on this invitation card!"
After saying that, Feng Shui Qing put the box back into his pocket like a treasure, leaned over and kissed his slightly pale side face, "Now we really become husband and wife! You obediently wait for me here! I'll wait for the emperor's seal to be stamped.
Come back to see you again!"
She covered him with a quilt, stuffed her big hands into the quilt, and jumped out of the room.
But could not see...
Hyun Chen's fingers hidden under the quilt...
Lifted it slightly. This chapter has been completed!
