Ever since they got married, their married life was nothing like what Su Shangqing had imagined before marriage. Everything was like Su Shangqing's own wishful thinking. After getting together with Qi Jingqin, everything was beyond Su Shangqing's imagination.

as expected.

Su Shangqing thought that he had saved Qi Jingqin, given him a new life, and given him a home. That afternoon, Qi Jingqin held his hand with affection in his eyes. When he dressed up for him after the wedding, he was so considerate.

, the clothes on his body are all patterned by his own hand.

Everyone in Linshui Village knows that the husband of Su Shangqing from Suji Tofu Fang is Su Shangjing, the man she picked up from the Linshui River. When she picked him up, he was covered in blood, but it was evening and everyone was there

He was cooking in his own yard, and no one had seen him when he first arrived.

Later, I heard the doctor talk about Su Shangjing. It turned out that he had lost his memory and could not remember anything about his previous experiences. But other than that, Su Shangjing was very smart. He knew everything and could do anything. In the village

People all over the world asked him to write a post for their family. Although their family had been in Linshui Village for generations, they had never thought about going out many times in their lives. The only thing they knew was that there was a big city outside called Shangjing.

It is the largest city in the world. Whatever you are looking for in the world, you can find it in Shangjing.

Coincidentally, Qi Jingqin only remembered that he came from Shangjing.

Su Shangqing knew that he wouldn't stay with her for long, but she didn't know why. She had been waiting for the so-called Mr. Right to marry her since she was 14 years old, and she had been waiting until she was 20 years old.

Many things have happened in the past six years. The death of her parents made everyone advise her: "There are no men in the Su family, and your good skills in making tofu cannot be lost like this. You are a girl, even if you can persist for a few years."

You are young, but after all, you are not as good as a man. If not, just find a man to marry. It is just two people living together, who can you live with?"

Everyone in Linshui Village is like this. Everyone lives together and lives with everyone. Everyone knows everything about them and has always looked up and never seen each other since they were young.

Even Su Shangqing's parents were like this. They were brought together inexplicably by a matchmaker, and they became husband and wife inexplicably due to the inexplicable order of the matchmaker. The birth of Su Shangqing was also very inexplicable.

Everyone lived in a muddle, but when they said they wanted to go out, some people did. Su Shangqing's father went out, and even went to the capital.

But it is said that Linshui Village is a treasure land that cannot be abandoned under any circumstances. People from outside do not know how to get in, and people in the village will not tell others about Linshui Village. This is a treasure land that they rely on for survival and cannot be allowed to let anyone

people discovered.

So in this village near the water, everyone knew each other, and in order to survive, they had to make do with each other.

Su Shangqing was only sixteen years old when she lost her mother and father. At that time, the matchmaker came to her home several times. Linshui Village did not have a tradition of keeping filial piety, so everyone thought she was doing good and came to ask for her hand in marriage.

The matchmaker persuaded her to find someone to marry, but just for the few ounces of copper coins. There was a weaver in the east of the village. The eldest son of the family had not yet married. He had already fallen in love with the youngest daughter of Su Ji Tofu Fang, but she always thought of her father as her father.

While my mother was still alive, she declined several times on the grounds that she still wanted to serve her.

Su Shangqing was sixteen years old. After both her parents died, there were many matchmakers who came to talk to her. Everyone advised her: "Find a suitable person to marry and live this life is enough. It's too clear to live a happy life."

It’s pretty quick.”

Su Shangqing didn't listen to this. She ran to the house of a gentleman who was very rarely literate and well-educated in the village. It is said that the ancestors of this family discovered Linshui Village and brought their ancestors here. From then on, it was a paradise.

No restrictions, everyone leads a carefree life, simple and innocent.

But this gentleman's home is antique, and there are many ancient books hidden in it. It is said that they brought them to Linshui Village very early, and they have been there since their ancestors.

Sixteen-year-old Su Shangqing pushed open the heavy wooden door. As soon as he entered, he saw a chubby little boy sitting on the ground eating maltose. There was a man sitting next to him, that was Mr.

The husband asked: "Is something wrong?"

For some reason, Su Shangqing wanted to cry. She wanted to cry right then, but she kept holding it back. She had read a lot of books here since she was a child. After her father came back from Shangjing City, he said that everyone there was...

Recognize Chinese characters and read books. I think it’s good to know Chinese characters and read books.

Su Shangqing stood at the door holding back the pain in his heart. At this time, his wife came out with some cakes in her hand. When she saw Su Shangqing coming, she thought she was here to read a book, so she said kindly: "You are here."

No one mentioned her sadness. It was obvious that she was wearing sackcloth and mourning, and it was obvious that the only relative in the family had passed away.

Everyone would say a word when they met, but Mr. and Mrs. did not.

What worried Su Shangqing was not the death of her parents. When she went to her husband's home, her parents had already passed away for a few days, but even in these few days, matchmakers were always coming to match others.

She was upset and asked: "Why did Mr. and Mrs. get married? Is it also because they have to make do with each other inexplicably? Does living alone make life difficult?"

This inexplicable question really stunned the husband and wife. They didn't know why Su Shangqing came to ask this question.

Afterwards, the lady carried the fat baby back to the house. At this time, the husband pulled Su Shangqing and said, "Did someone say something to you?"

Su Shangqing finally cried: "Why do you have to find someone you don't like and live with for the rest of your life? If you don't like it, it will be uncomfortable to live together!"

The husband touched her head: "You can make your own choice. If you don't want to, just wait. As long as you are willing to wait, that person will appear sooner or later."

Su Shangqing listened and kept waiting. Finally, at the age of twenty, he saw Qi Jingqin drifting over from nowhere.

"That afternoon you said you wanted to marry me. I was happy for a long time. I thought you listened to what I said. Since you have lost your memory now, don't think about the past anymore. You are so smart, can't you understand how to live?

What does it mean to enjoy yourself in the moment?" Su Shangqing burst into tears as he looked at Qi Jingqin and said word by word.

"I thought you had forgotten Qingqing, and that you could have a good time with me when you went to Beijing. I thought you had forgotten that that's why you agreed to marry me as your wife. Was the wedding night at Fengguanxiapei a lie? No matter what happened in the past,

Well, you have forgotten all those things in the past. Three months have passed and you haven't remembered it, and they haven't come to find you! Why don't you give up?" Su Shangqing said hysterically.

Facing Su Shangqing's noise, Qi Jingqin only felt a headache. He knew very well that he only married Su Shangqing because he wanted to make Qingqing angry. He dressed Su Shangqing up to look like Qingqing in his memory, just to make Qingqing angry.

Qingqing.

I want to wait until I see Qingqing one day and let her look at Su Shangqing beside me - if Qingqing doesn't want me, then I can always find a better person to replace Qingqing.

But later, as time went by, he regretted it. Qingqing never came back, and he couldn't see Su Shangqing by his side.

These days, he has been thinking about the past, but he never thought of it. He often thinks about what his life was like before? Will it be worse than now?

The people here seem to be incompatible with him, and everything he does seems very novel to them. The only thing that can make him feel some comfort is those children.

They treat the world with innocence and curiosity. No matter how ignorant they are, they seem to be particularly willing to answer it. Every time when the aunt next door teases her child, she will say: "If you like children so much, why don't you have one with Shang Qing?"

Every time this point comes up, Qi Jingqin will excuse himself and walk away because he doesn't want to have a child with someone else.

Facing the hysterical Su Shangqing, Qi Jingqin's eyes showed disappointment. He said: "Don't worry about my affairs. If I can go back to Beijing, I will pay you back everything I owe you. You don't have to look like me like this."

It looks like I owe you a lot."

When Qi Jingqin said this, Su Shangqing was shocked in his heart. It was true that he was a village girl from Shangougou, and Qi Jingqin did come from a big city like Shangjing, but she didn't owe him anything at all.

After Qi Jingqin finished speaking, he turned around and was about to leave, but Su Shangqing quickly stopped him: "Su Shangjing!"

Qi Jingqin stopped.

Su Shangqing continued: "I am your wife now! You can no longer think about others!"

Qi Jingqin glanced at her slightly, and then walked straight out. Su Shangqing grabbed him, and then said: "That night in the bridal chamber, you didn't touch me, so we can't be considered a real couple!"

For some reason, Su Shangqing just felt aggrieved and uncomfortable, so he dragged Qi Jingqin back to the room.

"What are you doing!" Qi Jingqin was dragged back to the room by her.

＊

Soon it was time for the Autumn Palace Examination. That day was the first palace examination after the new emperor ascended the throne. All the students had been preparing for a long time.

The Gate of Supreme Harmony opened, and they passed through the Hall of Supreme Harmony and arrived at the Hall of Cultivation of Heart, where they usually go in the morning.

In the Yangxin Hall, there were many ministers sitting on both sides, and a screen was set up above the dragon throne as usual. This year's situation was special, as the exam was invigilated by the Empress. Naturally, the Empress, who was the mother of the world, had to keep some distance from them.

Everyone is looking forward to it and getting nervous.

After the students took their seats, Liang Huanqing followed Yuebai and walked out from behind.

He Yu shouted loudly: "The Queen has arrived——"

Everyone stood up in a hurry, knelt down and said: "Wei ministers (common people) see the Queen, the Queen is a thousand years old, a thousand years old, a thousand years old -"

After Liang Huanqing sat down, he could see a student in the middle slightly raising his head and peeking at him through the screen. The screen was extremely thin and only covered it, but the figure could still be seen.

Liang Huanqing could see the student raise his head, and so could Yuebai. Before he could see the expression on the Queen's face, Yuebai was about to shout to stop. Didn't anyone teach him the rules when he entered the palace?

?Everyone was kneeling with their heads down, how could he dare to raise his head?

Before Yuebai could speak, Liang Huanqing raised her hand to stop her, and the two exchanged glances: Rules are important, but the court needs talents right now, and being able to take the imperial examination naturally has its merits, so let's wait until the imperial examination is over.

Since the Queen had the intention not to be harsh, Yue Bai couldn't say anything more and just stood aside obediently.

Liang Huanqing said: "Ping Shen."

Officials and students stood up one after another.

"Give me a seat." Liang Huanqing said.

"Thank you, Queen."

"In the early years of Jing Qin's reign, the imperial examination coincided with the selection of talents, and the selection of talented people from all over the world to serve the country. It is not easy for all of you to be here. I think they are all talented and learned people." Liang Huanqing said.

"Thank you, the Queen, for the compliment."

"Now the situation is special. I am in power on my behalf. Suddenly there is a palace examination. I am temporarily acting as the chief examiner and setting an exam question -" Liang Huanqing's eyes indicated He Yu.

He Yu clapped his hands, and two eunuchs came up with a roll of cloth, and then opened it, with the imperial examination questions written on it:

"On the Perfection of Rewarding Honesty"

"The way to secure a country and an entire army"

The crowd was in an uproar.

"Quiet!" He Yu shouted loudly.

When Qin Yuandao saw these two examination questions, he also looked confused. At first Yuebai said that the Queen would come up with the questions herself, but she didn't necessarily discuss it with them. It turned out that she had already thought about the questions for this palace examination.
