The Pastoral Empress Merchant

Chapter 739
After a whole night of tossing around, the next day Mu Jinxi's back was sore and her legs were weak, and she was trembling slightly when she walked. When Jing Lanyuan's servants saw it, they were worried that their little princess was sick, even early in the morning. Xiao Bao, who came to accompany the couple to have breakfast, kept staring at her. He didn't understand why his mother said that he was not sick, but it was so strange that he couldn't even walk well. He felt that his mother Not only sick, but seriously ill.

So he seriously suggested that his mother should see a doctor when she was sick, and that she should not be brave or anything, which made Mu Jinxi so embarrassed that she didn't know what to say, so she could only step on someone under the table.

Even if a certain person was stepped on hard, he would not show any anger, and let his wife step on his feet under the table with a smile on his face.Xiaobao looked at this for a while, and looked at that for a while. He always felt that his parents were weird today, but he was young and didn't know what was going on, so he could only bury his head in his breakfast.

When Xiaobao went to pay his respects to the old princess after breakfast, she couldn't help but tell the old princess her doubts. He gave birth to a younger brother or younger sister!As soon as Xiaobao heard that he might have a younger brother or younger sister, he was so happy that he forgot everything. He always hoped that he would have a younger brother or younger sister!Now that his father and mother are married, his younger brother or younger sister will definitely come to meet him soon!
So Xiaobao turned around and ran back to Jinglanyuan, and told Mu Jinxi and Juelin with a serious and dignified face that even if they were anxious to give birth to a younger brother and sister for him, they should take good care of their health and not go too far at night. If you are tired, you will not be able to have younger brothers and younger sisters if you are exhausted, so you have to restrain yourself, take your time, and don't act too hastily.

What she said made Mu Jinxi feel as if she had been struck by lightning on the spot, her face was scorched and her heart trembled, and she was ashamed to see others, because when Xiaobao said these words, the four maidservants were all in the house, packing up and serving After listening to Xiaobao's words, and looking at each other for a while, they all couldn't help but burst out laughing, and then they were afraid that she would be angry and suppressed their smiles one by one. She resigned, and before she could answer, both of them fled out of the room. Soon, bursts of suppressed laughter came from outside the room, making her grind her teeth.

Jue Lin was also embarrassed by Xiaobao's words. Although he knew that Xiaobao didn't really understand what it was like to have a baby, he let his son, who was only a few years old, in front of a room full of maids. Having said that, he also felt a little ashamed and lost his majesty, and when he saw his wife's dark complexion, he became even more frightened, for fear that the night would be like the previous month again.

Jue Lin is a bit worried about this point, because Mu Jinxi has already deeply realized that unless a man is not allowed to touch her for the rest of her life, otherwise, the longer the time of abstinence, the more unfavorable it is for women, because men have different calculation methods , They feel that they have been abstinent for a few days, and when they can eat meat, they have to make up for what they endured in the previous few days.

In other words, they think that abstinence is only temporary, and they just put what they can enjoy now to a later date, just like some people who don’t spend money today, and then tomorrow they will spend the money they would have spent yesterday with today’s money .They also think the same about bed matters, so it is the woman who suffers in the end. A man feels refreshed when he vents it all at once, but a woman suffers.

Like her, her whole body is sore, she feels that she should be sure that she will not want to try it again, so she should stop abstinence in the future, and eat one meal at a time, not crowded together, eating too much all at once If there is too much, the body will not be able to bear it.Of course, she wouldn't say these words to Jue Lin, and she could still threaten him occasionally in the future, telling him not to mess around like last night!
In the end, Mu Jinxi decided that she would rest in the mansion for a whole morning and only go out in the afternoon, so she could not spoil herself.Jue Lin wished that she would do this, because he also knew that he had gone too far last night.

After Jue Lin and Xiao Bao left, Mu Jinxi ordered her to go on, don't bother her if there is nothing to do, and she needs to take a rest, the servants in the courtyard knew it well, so naturally they answered loudly.She slept like this until noon, and the color screen called her up to have lunch before she woke up.

After a good night's sleep, she finally felt much better, and her energy returned, so she went out to Hengfuxuan. Those skin care samples had been placed in Hengfuxuan for half a month, and there should be some effect. She has to check it out.

When she arrived at Hengfuxuan, Mrs. Xiang noticed her immediately, and when she saw her coming, she greeted her with a smile on her face, and then she explained to the young man in Hengfuxuan and led her upstairs.

"How's the situation? Tell me in detail." Mu Jinxi asked after sitting down.

With an excited smile on her face, Mrs. Xiang said happily: "Yes, little princess, since you put those skin care product samples in Hengfuxuan, I have slowly introduced them to the guests. For familiar guests, because they also trust the slave family, so even if they haven’t seen it before, but here is Hengfuxuan, they naturally don’t have too much doubt and are happy to take it back and try it. The feedback is very good, many People who use it for a few days will come back and ask me for it.”

"Oh? Did you give it to them?" Mu Jinxi asked with a twinkle in her eyes.

Lady Xiang shook her head and said, "I didn't give any more to those who asked back. I just told them that these are just samples, and I gave them a try because they are old customers. It can only be given away after buying a certain amount of silver in Hengfuxuan. If they really think it is easy to use, then wait a little longer. Hengfuxuan will launch an official product in a few days. Although they are a little disappointed after hearing it , but didn't say anything."

Mu Jinxi nodded when she heard Miss Xiang's handling, and felt that she did a good job. If the other party asked them for a sample just because the other party was a regular customer, they would give it to them. After a long time, they might lose their curiosity about such things. Don't worry, after the official product comes out, they may lose their enthusiasm and won't think about buying it for use.And it is a waste to provide the same trial product to the same customer. Although she has enough trial products, she can't waste it like this. She should use it where it should be used.

Seeing that Mu Jinxi nodded, Lady Xiang continued to speak. "Then I slowly started to recommend it to other guests, saying that as long as you spend enough money at Hengfuxuan, you can get a copy for free. At first, the ladies and ladies didn't know what it was, and they were not very curious. But after the explanation from the slave family, they knew that it was made by you, little princess, so everyone was very interested in trying to use it, and they were very enthusiastic. The first batch of trial products shipped over soon disappeared. The slave family followed your instructions I ordered someone to bring another batch back, and now there is only a little left.”

"How about the feedback from those who have used it?" Mu Jinxi asked again.

Lady Xiang smiled and said, "It's all pretty good. People who have used it think it's better and more convenient than the ones they used before. However, some people say that it doesn't seem to have any effect, and it doesn't seem to be much different from the ones they used before. " At the end, Miss Xiang looked at Mu Jinxi with some anxiety, worrying that she would be unhappy after hearing these words.

But Mu Jinxi smiled lightly and said: "This is a normal thing. It is impossible for everyone to like anything. Seemingly beautiful things may not be suitable for everyone. Everyone's skin is different. The effect of using it is also different, but these skin care products of mine are better and more convenient than the formulas commonly used by Mrs. Da Chu. As for someone who uses them, the effect is not obvious. Maybe it is because she used the wrong method, or it may be because Because she hasn't used it long enough, there are many reasons, so don't worry too much about it."

Lady Xiang let out a sigh of relief and said: "The little princess is right, it's because the servants are too nervous."

Although she is more than ten years older than the little princess, she is not as good as the little princess in terms of knowledge, skills, and calmness in times of trouble. She still has a lot to learn from being with the little princess.

"The trial product has been in Hengfuxuan for half a month. Try it for another half month and see the effect before deciding on the time for the official product to be put on the shelves. In the remaining half month, you should get familiar with the types of these products as soon as possible. , efficacy, ingredients, and price, you must memorize it by heart. Not only will you be responsible for a large part of it after it is put on the shelves, but you must also be familiar with the folks in Hengfuxuan. You must not make any mistakes, especially to be familiar with the product The efficacy and ingredients, so that customers will not be speechless when they ask."

Miss Xiang kept Mu Jinxi's words in her heart, nodded while listening and said: "Little Princess, don't worry, I will save you."

After learning about it, Mu Jinxi explained some things that Xiang Niangzi needs to pay special attention to, such as not allowing other cosmetic shops to inquire about these skin care products, let alone allowing people from other cosmetic shops to buy skin care products for research, although These are some novel things, but it does not mean that no one can make them except her. The ancient wisdom is still very admirable.

Mrs. Xiang also thought about this point, but she has always been very careful. Even if she gave it to the guests for trial, she only said that these were newly developed things by Heng Fuxuan, and did not explain the reason too clearly. Miss is also a regular customer, she knows almost everyone, if someone she doesn't know comes, she will notice.

When Mu Jinxi was busy, it soon came to the day when Mu Jinhua took the imperial examination. On April 21st, the day before the imperial examination, Mu Jinxi returned to the Xiao Mansion. Although the parents said they didn't care, they were still very nervous. She herself was nervous and looking forward to it.To be honest, of course she hopes that her elder brother can pass the exam, but if the elder brother tries his best and still fails, then it doesn't matter. Studying in college is also pretty good!You can't be too demanding in being a human being, and you have to retreat when the time is right.

Still in Mu Jinhua's study room, Mu Jinxi was like an aunt telling her big brother worried and babbling, which made Mu Jinhua funny and moved. Although she had heard it many times, she was still patient. Sit and listen to her remind him to pay attention to something, something, so that he doesn't have to be nervous or something.

It wasn't until half an hour later that Mu Jinxi finally stopped, feeling a little thirsty, just thinking that a glass of water appeared in front of her, she took a sip and drank it, and then she met her elder brother with a half-smile, full of tears. It was a teasing face, and she realized that she seemed overly nervous and talked too much, probably her parents were not as verbose as she was.

"Ahem, cough, that's it. In short, don't be nervous when the time comes. I'm really worried that you will forget everything when you get nervous like the county exam a few years ago." He still couldn't help but worry. .

Talking about her previous embarrassment, Mu Jinhua said with some embarrassment: "Xiaoxi, that's all happened in the past. Brother is not like before. Didn't I pass the provincial exam well? Will I take the exam? You don't have to." I'm worried, I will deal with it well, why do you feel like my mother."

"Hmph, I don't have a son as old as you." Mu Jinxi turned her head and snorted.

In fact, she didn't want to be so nervous, it was just because her eldest brother performed very well in the previous two exams. Now that it's time for the palace examination, if something goes wrong, those people don't know how they will squeeze behind each other and laugh at her elder brother. Although he has improved a bit compared to him, he will not be easily influenced by other people's words, but in fact his personality is still of that soft type, very similar to his parents.

However, she is not as pedantic as before. She talks about Confucius and Mencius all day long, and sometimes she can say something that surprises her, and she no longer regards etiquette as a god.Big brother should be an official in the future, too old-fashioned and stick to the rules will not be a good thing for him, the affairs in the officialdom are full of twists and turns, if he has one intestine to the end, he will be trampled on in the end When I kicked it as a stepping stone, I don't know what happened.

When she turned her head like this, her eyes fell on the desk in the study inadvertently, and she was attracted by a booklet, because the desk was full of thick collections and various documents, and the booklet was too big. It's too simple and rudimentary, how could there be such a thing on the big brother's desk?

As soon as she was curious, she stood up and walked over, picked up the booklet and opened it to have a look. It contained all the questions that were given in each palace examination since the founding of the Great Chu Kingdom, and the answers of the top three in that year, detailed records In this booklet, it seems thin and simple, but when you open it, you find that there is a universe in this booklet.

Seeing this, Mu Jinxi couldn't help but her eyes lit up. Although she didn't know much about Da Chu's imperial examination and was not interested, it didn't prevent her from seeing the value of this booklet at a glance. The elder brother was about to take the imperial examination. Such a booklet provides him with a reference, even if the same questions will not be asked in this year's palace examination, but more or less he has a bottom line in his heart.

The questions of each palace examination are different, but these are all questions given by the Great Chu Emperor. If you analyze them carefully, you will find that they all have something in common, just like students taught by the same teacher. These students go to teach others If so, you can always see a bit of this teacher's shadow in the method. The questions of the palace test are also the same. It seems that every question is different, but there are some similarities in it. If the eldest brother takes this booklet seriously I have watched it a few times, and I believe it will be of great help to him.

I don't know where the eldest brother got such a good book.

"Brother, where did you get this thing?" In fact, she wanted to do this before, but after asking, she realized that although the questions and results of the previous imperial examinations were recorded, they were all kept in the government or in the Hanlin. People in the hospital and private people can hardly see it, so she rested her mind. She didn't expect to see such a thing suddenly today, and it didn't seem to come from the government, but it seemed to be sorted out by a private person. Who is so powerful, it really made her a little curious.

Unexpectedly, Mu Jinhua's expression was a little evasive, and she quickly walked over and snatched the booklet from Mu Jinxi's hand, pretending to put it away, turned her back to her and murmured, "Here, This is, it’s one of mine, it was given to me by a friend, it’s actually nothing, it’s just a brochure.”

Mu Jinxi was a little surprised by his reaction at first, and then accidentally saw that his earlobe exposed with his back to her seemed to be slightly red, she quietly moved over as if she had discovered the New World, stared at his earlobe for a while, and the more she looked The more sure I am not dazzled, and then look at his expression...

Well, she seemed to smell the smell of adultery. Could it be that the girl Mo Xuerui gave this brochure to her elder brother?If this is the case, then she seems to be serious about her elder brother, and actually spent so much thought to make such a booklet for him.And it's not completely indifferent to see the big brother like this, the two seem to be really having fun.

She said before that if the elder brother and Xuerui are together, their personalities are actually complementary. Although Xuerui's temper sometimes seems a bit domineering, she is actually quite talented, otherwise she would not be in her Running after Jue Lin before had such a good evaluation, even the queen in the palace praised her very much.If the eldest brother is with Xuerui, then he will be the son-in-law of Duke Mo's mansion. If he is an official, he will not have to worry about someone bullying him. Don't look at the face of the monk or the face of the Buddha.

If a person like eldest brother marries an ordinary lady from a great family, life may be good after marriage, but it may be too ordinary, without any disturbance, respecting each other like a guest, but seeing the other party as a wife rather than a lover , this kind of marriage is actually very boring, and it can wear away people's passion for marriage.But if it was Xuerui, her temperament would not allow her to live a boring life after getting married. Only when the elder brother marries such a wife will his life become more lively.

Oh, of course, if the eldest brother really has no interest in Xue Rui, if he has no affection at all, then it can only show that it is her own wishful thinking, and it means that he and Xue Rui have no fate, and this girl Xue Rui will suffer one more injury up.

She knew that Xuerui said at the beginning that marrying the eldest brother might be out of anger, and she wanted to dissuade herself, but now she believes that it's not just that, Xue Rui is really moved by her attitude towards the eldest brother. It can be seen that she did not do too much to displease the eldest brother, and every time she tried her best to give the gift to the eldest brother, it was in line with the preferences of the eldest brother and would not give the eldest brother a chance to refuse, trying to get close to the eldest brother without any trace .

Although she used to yell that she would not marry Jue Lin, and wanted to pounce on him whenever she saw Jue Lin, she had never paid attention to Jue Lin in other ways, and Jue Lin might have noticed it from the very beginning. That's why she turned a blind eye to her behavior and let her torment, because she knew that she didn't really like him in her heart, she just treated him as a big brother.

She was worried that if her elder brother didn't like Xuerui, she would become a sinner, because she was responsible for this matter, but now seeing her elder brother's reaction, he actually has no feelings for Xuerui, right?
In the modern era, a person like a big brother is a pure man who has never been in love when he was 20 years old, and has never liked a woman, and has never been in contact with love. Xuerui is a savage and smart rich girl. Now she sees This innocent man is here, with her cleverness and wit, she should be able to capture this innocent man!
Hee hee, she just waited to see the good show, but now she won't ask her elder brother or anything, so as not to affect his imperial examination. If there is anything to do, wait until the results of the imperial examination come out and everything is settled.

Mu Jinhua didn't know that his sister had already thought about everything in this short moment, why was he still worried about how he would explain and answer if she asked her a question, and he always felt that no matter what he said at this time, it was a bit awkward. , a bit like a guilty conscience...

Just when Mu Jinhua was uneasy, Mu Jinxi said unexpectedly: "So it was given to you by your friend. It seems that your friend treats you very well and is a person worthy of association. After the palace test, you can give it to me." I have to find a chance to thank him properly, I have given you all such good things."

"Ah?" Mu Jinhua was stunned, apparently he didn't expect her to say that, he thought she would definitely ask the question to the end, didn't Xiao Xi notice her strangeness?Or is there no difference at all?All of a sudden, he really wanted to find a mirror to see what expression he had now, otherwise how could Xiaoxi not notice it with her shrewdness, and if she noticed it, why didn't she ask the question to the end?It's not like her style.

"Ah, what, isn't it right for me to ask you to thank him after the palace test? You have to express your gratitude more or less for someone's kindness, even if the other party doesn't care at all, but we can't be too ruthless, you know? ?” Mu Jinxi looked serious.

But Mu Jinhua was complaining in his heart, how could he thank her, this person is a woman, he can't ask someone to come out for a meal, or give her some gift in return, this is not appropriate, if someone finds out , wouldn't it hurt the other party's reputation?
"Brother? Why, you don't want to?" Mu Jinxi pretended to be very surprised.

"No, no, it's not that I don't want to, it's just, just..."

"How about this, after your palace test is over, you can invite your friend to the Fortune Restaurant. Although a meal is nothing, it is still a good intention." Mu Jinxi helped him make the decision.

"...Okay." Mu Jinhua lowered her shoulders and replied weakly.

"Okay, it's getting late. I'm going back to my room to rest. Don't study too late yourself. It's better to keep your spirits up so that you can have the energy to face the palace exam."

When Mu Jinhua heard her words, he didn't know whether to breathe a sigh of relief or feel disappointed. He was very contradictory, but immediately he thought of something and asked: "Xiaoxi, is it really okay for you to go back to Xiao's mansion every two days like this?" ?”

Xiaoxi has only been married for more than a month, but she has returned to Xiao's residence several times!No one is like her, even if Jue Lin and the old concubine dote on her, she can't act like this because of her favor. He is really worried that if she continues like this, sooner or later she will offend the people of Prince Mu's residence.

Mu Jinxi waved her hand and said, "Oh, brother, why are you talking about this again? Didn't I say it? Both Juelin and my grandmother agreed to my return to Xiao's mansion, and they all understood my feelings. , it will be fine, you don't have to worry about me, just worry about your own imperial examination, I'm leaving, go to bed early."

Mu Jinhua was speechless when she saw that she didn't care at all. After thinking about it, she thought that maybe it was Jue Lin's connivance. If so, it would be good.

Shaking his head, he went back to the desk and sat down, intending to read for a while before going to rest, but just looked at the booklet on the bookshelf involuntarily, and was in a daze, not knowing How long did it take me to come back to my senses, chuckled and shook my head, put my mind on the business, and concentrated on reviewing.

On the day of the palace examination, one had to enter the palace early to take the exam, hand in the papers at sunset, and leave at dawn.Early in the morning, Mu Jinhua got up and tidied up and was ready to leave Xiao's residence to enter the palace. Master Xiao decided to personally send his nephew into the palace. By the way, he could also cheer him up and encourage him on the way. The others also got up early. , said some words of encouragement to him, and it was getting late before he got in the carriage and set off.

Xiao Jingyan became the prime minister of Great Chu, so he will naturally be present for such an important matter as the palace examination. Apart from him, other officials will also be present. Although the result of the palace examination is ultimately decided by the emperor, as an official of Great Chu, he is also qualified to discuss it. Some things, even if it can't finally affect the result of the palace examination, it will still have a certain impact on the emperor's judgment.

Of course, he is the prime minister of Da Chu, even if there is his own nephew among the people who participated in the palace examination, he will not show favoritism.

After Mu Jinhua went to the palace to take part in the palace examination, the people in the Xiao residence didn't have much interest in doing other things. They sat in the hall for a while and then dispersed. Mrs. Xiao and Xiao Nianxun walked together to comfort each other However, Mu Ankang was forced to play chess by Mrs. Xiao, and Mu Ankang complained to the sky. He only knows how to farm and can't play chess. Dad is simply embarrassing him.

He wanted to ask his daughter for help, but her daughter waved to him with a smile on her face. Looking at his wife again, she had already left with his sister-in-law, A Xiao and A Yu, and he had nowhere to turn to help him. Hard to follow to learn how to play chess.

Everyone left and Mu Jinxi was left alone. Thinking about it, since she was going to stay in the Xiao Mansion today, the eldest brother would not be able to come back until evening, so the whole day could not be wasted. She was about to get up and go back to her own residence. The yard saw a servant come in hurriedly.

"Miss Biao, Miss Mo is here to see you."

Mu Jinxi was taken aback, "Miss Mo? The one in Duke Mo's residence?"

"Yes, she is outside now, she said she came from Prince Mu's Mansion."

Mu Jinxi rolled her eyes and said: "Let Miss Mo come in, take her to my yard, and just say I'll wait for her there."

Hee hee, Xuerui must have come here because she was worried about her elder brother. Why did she come from Prince Mu's mansion? She probably knew that she had returned to Xiao's mansion last night, so she came here early in the morning to inquire about the news.

Mo Xuerui really came to inquire about the news. She knew that today was the day of the palace examination, and that Mu Jinhua was going to participate, so she was a little worried, but she couldn't let her family see it. Although she clamored to marry Mu Jinhua, Parents also think this idea is good, but the Mu family, the Xiao family and Mu Jinhua themselves don't know what they are thinking, and the people in the family will not let her behave too much to be discovered, otherwise things will not work out in the future, she It is really impossible to get married.

After being led all the way to the courtyard where Mu Jinxi lived before she got married, Mo Xuerui walked in by herself.

"Why did you come over so suddenly today? Is there any important matter that can't wait until I return to Prince Mu's Mansion to let you come directly to Xiao Mansion?" Mu Jinxi pretended not to know.

Mo Xuerui choked, and then said with a broken gesture: "I don't believe you don't know, you just know how to pretend in front of me, it's not good to pretend too much! Tell me quickly, how is your brother?" , are you okay? Are you nervous?"

Mu Jinxi burst out laughing, she liked Xue Rui's attitude, she was straightforward, if it was any other girl, she would definitely be coy, she couldn't stand it.

"Don't worry, my elder brother is fine, at least he doesn't look nervous on the surface."

"Do you think your elder brother can win the first prize?" Mo Xuerui asked worriedly.

Mu Jinxi spread her hands together: "I can't say for sure, in fact, it doesn't matter much whether I hit or not, my parents have seen it, and I have seen it too."

Mo Xuerui glared at her: "Don't you want your elder brother to win the first prize?"

"I think so, but it's not something I can pass the exam just because I think about it. It doesn't matter if I pass or not. Anyway, with my sister who is the princess, I will definitely spare no effort to help him in the future."

"..." Mo Xuerui felt that she didn't know what to say.

In fact, her father said that as long as Mu Jinhua won the first prize in the exam, he would ask her mother to come to talk about the marriage proposal. If she didn't pass the exam, it would not be so easy, so if she wants the marriage to be settled as soon as possible, it is best for her to be Mu Jinhua I passed the exam.

He is a fragrant bun now, and he might be bitten by someone at some point. She must pay close attention to this man. She has taken a fancy to this man, and no one can take him away!
Mo Xuerui was worried when she heard Mu Jinxi say: "What's more, he was nothing when you fell in love with him. I believe you will not despise his identity."

"What do you know, you, if he wins the first prize, then our marriage can be settled as soon as possible!" Mo Xuerui said angrily.

"Oh, so that's how it is." Mu Jinxi was stunned, "Could it be that your family said that as long as my eldest brother wins the first prize in the exam, he will tell you about marriage?"

Now that the words have been spoken, Mo Xuerui doesn't hide anymore, anyway, she can't hide in front of her.

"Yeah, that's what my dad said. You also know that your elder brother's value has risen so much. Many people are staring at him. I don't pay close attention. If you act quickly, maybe one day he will He was hooked up and taken away! If that's the case, where can I find a husband? I don't care, you stole Jue Lin, your elder brother, you must help me get it, otherwise I will become Jue Lin's side concubine!" Mo Xuerui Threatened.

"Pfft! I don't want to take you. I'm not a matchmaker. Even if I am a matchmaker, I will definitely succeed! And I can tell you honestly that if my elder brother doesn't like you, I won't force him, especially I won't draw strings between you." After laughing, Mu Jinxi said seriously.

Mo Xuerui was taken aback, and then smiled confidently: "Don't worry, if I can't make your elder brother like me and marry me willingly, I won't marry a man who doesn't love me so shamelessly!"

She also has her own pride, okay?She used to think about marrying Jue Lin, but she didn't have the kind of love between men and women for Jue Lin, so she didn't care whether Jue Lin liked her or not, but it was different for Mu Jinhua.Although at the beginning she deliberately said she wanted to marry Mu Jinhua because she wanted to scare Xiaoxi off, but after getting in touch with him, she really fell in love with this man who seemed a bit dull and soft-tempered.

He has many shortcomings, but he also has many advantages. The most important thing is how he makes her feel. Although he is sometimes annoyed, he is not like those children from the capital, who feel bored when she sees him. He does not have those noble children. He is squeamish and arrogant, but he has a very peaceful and comfortable temperament, plain, but she likes it.

That's why she put so much thought into him, and even wanted to cater to him.Hmph, I can't let other women take advantage of me after spending so much time on it!

"Hey, look at you, you are very confident! Come on, tell me what method you used to seduce my elder brother."

"...You're the one who seduces!" Is she an aboveboard relationship?

"Don't deny it. If it wasn't for you to seduce me, my elder brother would not know what it means to like and what it means to dislike it. As long as he doesn't hate it, he will treat it equally. Now that you have said so, it must be something happened."

"I won't tell you, tell you not to help me, I will take care of you slowly after I become your sister-in-law!"

"I've seen thick-skinned people and I've never seen anyone as thick-skinned as you!"

"Where do you think you can get better? Also, why did you send skin care products to Mo'er and not me? What do you mean?"

"This... I forgot for a while, ah, the Xiao Mansion seems to still exist, I'll get it for you."

With Mo Xuerui around, Mu Jinxi didn't feel that time passed slowly. The two occasionally bickered and occasionally talked about things. The time passed quickly. Originally, Mo Xuerui wanted to wait for Mu Jinhua to come out of the palace, but Thinking that it was too late, it would not be good for her to stay in Xiao's mansion, and if she went back too late, maybe her father would have to talk about her again, Mo Xuerui had no choice but to go back to the mansion with a worried heart.

Youshi handed in the papers, and then went out of the palace to return to the mansion. When they arrived at the mansion, it was already the beginning of the Xu Dynasty. Both Mr. Xiao and Mu Jinhua looked very ordinary, and they couldn't see any clues. The two also said that everything is still uncertain now, and the final result can only be announced after the ranking, because the emperor's attitude may change at any time, and what he said in the Guangming Palace does not mean that the final result will be like this, only Getting out of the gold list is the real result.

When Mr. Xiao said this, everyone understood. Seeing that the expressions of the two were not bad, he thought that there should be no difference, so he made a fuss about dinner, and everyone was waiting for them to come back.

After the palace exam, Mu Jinhua's heart was completely relieved. Even though the result was not yet known, after so many years of hard work, it was not until the palace exam was over that the burden on her body was relieved, and she could take a short rest.

Thinking of what happened in the Guangming Palace, Mu Jinhua was also at a loss. At the beginning, he answered the Four Books and Five Classics fluently, but the question asked by the emperor himself made him a little at a loss, and he stuttered at first. , even a little hesitant, and finally came to his senses when he thought of something, and answered the emperor's question according to his own mind.

Although the emperor praised him at that time, he was still very uncertain, because his performance was not good at the beginning. How many people were better than him? There is not much confidence in the results that can be obtained.But if there are no accidents, he should be able to enter the top three. As for the number one scholar that Xiaoxi said before the palace examination, he thinks it is hopeless.

It would be a lie to say that he is not disappointed. He also has regrets in his heart, but only a little bit. He quickly figured it out, as long as he does his best, this kind of thing cannot be forced. He is worthy of his own efforts, and also worthy of his parents. , he has a clear conscience.

Speaking of which, he was able to answer the questions smoothly in the end thanks to Xiaoxihe, and Xuerui. When he was secretly anxious, his mind suddenly thought of the ancient book Xiaoxi gave him, and what she once said to himself, Combined with the notebook that Xue Rui gave him, and the content on it, he successfully answered the emperor's question, otherwise he might not even have the chance to enter the top three.

Tomorrow, according to the usual practice, the emperor will summon the top ten new scholars. The specific ranking of the palace examination will be announced after the emperor summons. At that time, the ranking will be written on the gold list and posted outside the palace gate to announce to the world. Now we are waiting for the gold list !

　The eldest brother has finished the imperial examination, and the result is coming soon, everyone said that it is good to win the number one scholar?
