The weak princess is super fierce

Chapter 68

To be honest, it is not considered a failure. After all, Dong Kuan was also on the list in the last spring, but his ranking was very low. He was born with the same Jinshi, hanging at the bottom of the top three.

Even though Dong Bu didn't say anything about it, Miao comforted him that he had passed the exam. Dong Linglong and Dong Wushuang also said sensibly that they had done well in the exam, but Dong Kuan knew in his heart that there was a huge difference between first-class and third-class. Different places.

What's more, he is still at the bottom of the list.

If you really walk into the officialdom with a Jinshi background on your back, not to mention that it will hinder your future career promotion, just say that the reputation of being at the bottom of the top three list will hang for a lifetime among your classmates, and you will have to mention it frequently among your future colleagues. Was snickered.

Dong Kuan felt that it was not possible. He felt that his self-esteem could not bear it, so he resolutely gave up his ranking in the previous session and decided to retake the exam.

Three years have passed in the blink of an eye, and spring will come again next year.

"Okay, okay, if we don't mix it up, we won't mix it up." Dong Kuan agreed to help, and he also wanted to ask Cui Yu, "Then I have helped you, when will you be free to give me some advice? Last time I wrote That article was said to be useless by you. Although I was quite angry at the time, thinking about it later, you made sense."

The last time he returned to Chunwei, the reason why he was at the bottom of the top three rankings was because he lost in policy theory.

He will take the exam again next year, with the determination that he will definitely get into the first class, and if he takes a step back, he will get a second class pass. For this reason, he has prepared for the exam for three full years.

"Last time for that article, you break through the topic again, and then show me after you finish writing." Cui Yu knew that Xiaoyou was aspiring to be a first-class student. Although he had never had an imperial examination, he had quite a bit of insight in policy theory, so he could give Dong Kuan some advice. suggestion.

"Yes!" Dong Kuan responded immediately.

Cui Yu left Dong Mansion and was already close to others.

As soon as he entered the Que Xian Tower, Jin Baixi greeted him: "Qiye, it's done."

"Okay." Cui Yu nodded, raised his hand to rub his tired brow, and walked to the small courtyard behind.

Jin Baixi followed closely: "Lao Yan came here at dusk recently. He said he had something to report and he had been waiting for you."

Cui Yu glanced at Jin Baixi: "I can just tell you, why do you have to wait for me to come back?"

"When he came, I was about to go out to do the things you asked me to do. I just came back." Jin Baixi explained that in the past, when his boss was away and something happened to Zhuang Yanli, he always told him that if he couldn't handle it, he would Write a letter to Cui Yu and wait for Cui Yu's instructions.

Cui Yu didn't say anything and walked through the small door.

Zhuang Yanli was very patient, and he was also in a situation like this. It had happened too many times in the past, and he had become accustomed to it. Therefore, when Cui Yu stepped into Mingxiang Residence, he was eating tea with the latest wine. My dear Biluochun, eating and drinking is very satisfying.

Seeing Cui Yu, he quickly stood up: "Master Qi, I..."

Cui Yu glanced at the donkey rolling in Zhuang Yanli's hand and said, "Let's talk after eating."

Zhuang Yan wolfed down the food immediately, and Jin Baixi approached him and handed him a tea bowl: "You should eat slowly. You are already very old. Be careful of choking and not being able to recover."

"I don't have any other preferences. I just like this food. Don't worry about me!" Zhuang Yanli took the tea bowl and drank the remaining half of the tea in one gulp. The cake crumbs stuck to his throat were finally Being washed away, he burped happily.

"I don't care about you, I'm afraid of you..."

"Get it!"

"cough."

Cui Yu coughed quietly and successfully stopped the daily bickering between Jin Baixi and Zhuang Yanli.

Once the two of them were settled, it was time to get down to business.

Zhuang Yanli then took Li Shou and Lu Luo into the Baolai Building, and then went into the Bamboo Leaf Qingya Room together. After they came out, Li Shou left, and Lu Luo took a cup and a pot in the elegant room to vent his anger. This series happened today in the afternoon. What happened in the afternoon was explained in detail.

Jin Baixi said suspiciously: "The Meng and Lu families have never dealt with each other. Even if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Second Young Master Lu collided head-on in the past, they would just say hello and then go their separate ways. How can you put it like this? His Highness the Crown Prince intends to block the Second Young Master Lu in the Baolai Building?"

"It's not like they're there, that's all." Zhuang Yan has long since developed a pair of sharp eyes for seeing people. He can tell at a glance who is doing what and who is doing what. "What do you think the Seventh Master can say between the two of them in Zhu Ye Qing?"

Cui Yu thought for a while and said, "It must be related to what happened in the front building that day."

Things that happened?
Jin Baixi immediately thought of the battle between Meng Shisan and Lu Luo, and the question in his mind suddenly changed to another question: "What Qi Ye means is that His Highness the Crown Prince met with the Second Young Master Lu because of Miss Meng?"

Although Zhuang Yanli was not in Quexian Tower at the time, he knew it very quickly and clearly afterwards. When Cui Yu mentioned it, he also thought of the day when Meng Shisan and Lu Luo confronted each other, and then kept quiet.

His knowledge of Miss Meng's family was only based on rumors. Although he asked Lao Bai some things about Miss Meng later, he had never met her, and he had never witnessed Miss Meng's bloody grace with a chopstick in person that day. , and now that his boss is here, he feels that he has no say and can just listen.

"Nine times out of ten." Cui Yu also made a personal guess and couldn't be sure, so he called out again, "The lake is steep."

Hu Qiao was standing guard outside the door of Mingxiang Residence. When he heard the call, he immediately entered: "Seventh Master."

"Has Huyan come back?" Cui Yu asked.

"Not yet." Hu Qiao replied.

Cui Yu thought for a moment: "When Hu Yan comes back from finishing his business, tell him to stand guard outside the gate of Meng Mansion. If Miss Meng goes out, come and report it immediately."

"No." Hu Qiao took the order.

Jin Baixi and the solemn facade in the side seats looked at each other. After looking at each other for a few seconds, they both looked at Cui Yu in the main seat.

Cui Yu stood up without even moving an eyebrow: "I'm going back to the dormitory. You should rest early."

The two of them agreed in unison and watched Cui Yu walk out of Mingxiang Residence, followed by Hu Qiao, and the master and servant entered the small courtyard and pavilion.

When Cui Yu was in the capital, he always lived in this two-story pavilion near the back door of the small courtyard.

"Even though Miss Meng has a relationship with Miss Thirteen, I think Qiye cares too much about Miss Meng..."

"Don't think so, it is."

Zhuang Yanli interrupted Jin Baixi's feelings and confirmed what Jin Baixi said. The extent to which his boss cared about the eldest daughter of the Meng family was indeed a bit excessive, but there was a reason for it.

Jin Baixi didn't refute, the reason why the owner was so abnormal was that in the past 17 years, Miss Meng was the only one who mentioned Miss Thirteen.

Meng Renping came out from Zhan Shi's mansion, and on the way back to Meng's mansion, he kept thinking about what Ji Kuan told him, that His Highness personally went out of the palace to track Lu Luo, blocked Lu Luo in Baolai Tower, and frightened Lu with the power of the East Palace. Luo, that's why Lu Luo offered 7000 taels of compensation with both hands so easily.

After these days of accumulation, His Highness frequently broke the rules for his eldest sister, which made him realize that there was a high chance that his eldest sister would enter the East Palace and become the crown princess.
