It's evening.

The streets of Kyoto, which are always noisy, seem particularly quiet today.

There were still many people, but the sounds seemed to be gone.

The street vendors stopped shouting.

The sound of whips being used to drive carriages, and the sounds of people carrying burdens walking through the streets suddenly disappeared.

The chatter of pedestrians walking on the road was also lowered.

There were suddenly fewer scholars on the street.

Because tomorrow is the Great Yan Triennial Examination, scholars from all over the country gather in Kyoto and need a quiet environment to study or rest.

So starting from the past three days, Kyoto has been under martial law.

No one is allowed to make loud noises, day or night, and fights are not allowed to affect the candidates, otherwise the punishment will be severe.

For the first time, brothels closed their doors for three days to thank guests.

Especially those inns where candidates live are quiet, and there are even officers and soldiers often patrolling in front of the door.

The entire Kyoto became quiet.

Luo Qingzhou came out of the palace and walked on the streets of the inner city. He looked at the soft-spoken vendors and pedestrians and the harmonious people. For a moment, he felt a little unable to adapt.

Entered the alley.

He took off his mask, put on a Confucian robe, lost the aura of a warrior, and transformed into a handsome, elegant, and personable scholar.

at the same time.

In the hall of the Qin Mansion, Song Ruyue was looking sad and sighing.

Second Miss Qin did not dare to say a word.

"The exam is tomorrow, but that kid is nowhere to be seen. Weimo, you always say that he is studying at a friend's place. Which friend is he? Tell me."

"You just continue to help him lie to my mother! You silly girl, he lied to you about going out to study, and maybe he went to fool around with those bad friends."

"Man, it's very dangerous to hang out all day without going home. There are so many vixens out there, be careful that guy gets seduced and abandons you directly..."

"Hey, our Qin family treated him well. We gave him everything in the bowl, on the plate, and even in the pot. If he really ran away, I..."

At this time, Xiaodie on the side couldn't help but said weakly: "Madam, the young master will not run away..."

Song Ruyue immediately glared at her: "What about the other person? It will be spring tomorrow. If he didn't run away, why hasn't he come back? Each of you, the whole house, are helping him speak. Be careful of being caught by that person.

The unscrupulous person cheated and then helped others count their money."

Xiaodie lowered her head and did not dare to say a word.

Song Ruyue suddenly felt sad and aggrieved, her eyes were red and she said: "Xiaodie, you know best. When that boy first came to my Qin Mansion, he had nothing, but we didn't dislike him. Not only did he marry the most beautiful girl in my family,

I married him and even gave him a small courtyard for him to study in peace... In the past two years, our Qin family has never treated him badly. He has made everyone in the house miserable, and I didn't say anything..."

Xiaodie opened her eyes wide.

At this moment, Qing'er suddenly ran in from outside and said: "Madam, my uncle is back."

Song Ruyue stood up from the chair with a sudden movement, hurriedly wiped away the tears that were about to fall, and said happily: "Really?"

Qing'er nodded and said: "Yes."

At this time, a familiar figure wearing Confucian robes walked in from outside the gate.

"snort!"

Song Ruyue immediately sat back on the chair again, her face regaining the majesty of an elder.

Luo Qingzhou walked into the hall, glanced at her, and said with cupped hands: "Mother-in-law is worried. Qingzhou is studying and reviewing at a friend's place, so he came back today."

Song Ruyue said with a straight face: "Which friend?"

Luo Qingzhou glanced at Miss Qin, lowered his head and said: "King of the North."

Song Ruyue was stunned and said: "Isn't the King of the North accompanying His Majesty? Where is he now?"

Luo Qingzhou said: "He is in the palace. There are many books in the palace, so he invited Qingzhou to study and review there. Qingzhou can occasionally meet His Majesty and discuss national affairs with His Majesty." ωωw..net

When Song Ruyue heard this, she immediately beamed: "Oh, in the palace, can I still talk to His Majesty often? Haha, okay, okay... Qingzhou, tomorrow is the Spring Festival, and you don't want anyone to come back to say something, everyone.

We are all worried about you. By the way, Meijiao and the others also live in the palace, didn’t you go to see them?"

Luo Qingzhou said: "Qingzhou knows that spring is coming soon, so he concentrates on studying and reviewing his homework and has no time to go to the princess and the others."

Song Ruyue smiled and said: "Yes, yes, review of homework is important, and you really shouldn't be distracted by anything else."

Then he approached him again and lowered his voice: "Qing Zhou, Your Majesty values ​​you so much and meets you often in the palace. Did he reveal to you some... ahem... this time's exam questions?"

Luo Qingzhou immediately said seriously: "Mother-in-law, this is not acceptable. The test questions are related to the fate of all candidates in the world, and even the fate of the country and the people. How can we reveal it in advance? Even His Majesty must not inform anyone in advance.

people."

Song Ruyue smiled coquettishly and said quickly: "Mother-in-law knows, mother-in-law knows it's important, she just asked casually."

Luo Qingzhou said no more.

Song Ruyue said again: "Qingzhou, how is your review going?"

Luo Qingzhou said: "General...ahem, it's not bad."

Second Miss Qin on the side covered her mouth.

Song Ruyue didn't say any more and said: "Okay, go back and review some more. Later, my mother-in-law will ask Mei'er to send you some chicken soup to replenish your body. You must go to bed early tonight, and your mother-in-law will wake you up tomorrow morning."

By the way, there’s also…”

Luo Qingzhou lowered his head and listened attentively.

Song Ruyue suddenly smiled again and said: "It's okay, Qingzhou, you go back first, my mother-in-law has something else to tell Weimo and the others."

Luo Qingzhou didn't ask any more questions and excused himself.

After he left, Song Ruyue immediately looked at Xiaodie and Qiu'er Zhu'er, and said with a serious face: "You are not allowed to mess around with your uncle tonight. You must keep an eye on him and don't allow him to run out. Let him conserve his energy. Okay.

Prepare for tomorrow’s exam.”

Xiaodie and the others immediately blushed and lowered their heads and said, "Yes, madam."

After Luo Qingzhou returned to Meixiang Garden, he first collected the spiritual liquid on the table, turned the Sun and Moon Mirror over, then cut his finger and poured two drops of blood on it.

The blood fell on the mirror and quickly disappeared.

He then sat down at the table, took the required book for the exam, and started reading page by page.

With his photographic memory, he has already remembered it in his heart.

But just to be on the safe side, I still have to read it again.

Although he is now a cultivator and does not attach much importance to tomorrow's exam, whether it is for the reputation of the Qin family or for his mother, he must pass the exam this time.

At least it's in the top three.

In this way, my mother's spirit in heaven will also feel happy.

The Qin family will have more face.

After all, his status in the Qin family, in the eyes of outsiders, is that he is a scholar, and he is also the first talented person in Mocheng.

Read a book quickly.

He opened the second book.

Outside the window, the sun sets and night falls quietly.

After a while.

Second Miss Qin Fang brought Qiu'er, Xiaodie and Zhu'er back, and also brought a sumptuous dinner.

The two of them were eating at the table.

Miss Qin Er said with a smile: "If brother Qingzhou doesn't come back today, my mother will cry. My mother hasn't had a good sleep these nights. Every morning, before dawn, she comes here to ask Wei Mo

, are you back?"

Luo Qingzhou apologized: "I was practicing and forgot about time."

Second Miss Qin helped him hold the dishes and said deliberately: "I thought that Brother Qingzhou no longer wanted to return to our Qin family since he had His Majesty."

Luo Qingzhou said: "How is it possible? This will always be my home. Even His Majesty's place cannot compare."

Miss Qin Er sighed after hearing this and said: "It's a pity that His Majesty got there first. Your Majesty has a baby, but we don't."

Luo Qingzhou lowered his head to eat and was speechless for a moment.

Miss Qin Er glanced at him and whispered: "Brother Qingzhou, Chanchan is not in good health, and Weimo is not good either, but Xiaodie and Qiu'er are both fine. If not, Bailing, and...

Sister, it should be okay."

Luo Qingzhou: "..."

Second Miss Qin said in a deep and authentic tone: "Brother Qingzhou, you can't be fond of the new and dislike the old.
