It was strange, she was obviously talking about Xinghua, but he could immediately understand why she said Xinghua, as if he could hear the voice in her heart.

This feeling is far more than just this time.

Thinking of what Wu Jue once said, Cui Jing was the one who gave her the chance to be reborn. Faced with such an elusive theory that everything is possible, Chang Sui Ning's mind suddenly became a little divergent.

This opportunity... what kind of opportunity is it? Is there any special bond that she doesn't know about? For example, can he really sense her thoughts or something?

Thinking of this, Chang Suining suddenly became wary and asked him tentatively: "Cui Jing, don't you have anything to say to me?"

Previously at the Tiannv Tower, when he came to say goodbye to her late at night, he had silently revealed to her that he knew her secret.

But it was not convenient to say it clearly at that time, so she told him that when he returned to Beijing in the future, she would hold a banquet waiting for him.

The implication is that when the two meet again, they will discuss the matter in detail in private. Chang Suining feels that this is an unwritten agreement between the two.

Since the two reunited, they have had the opportunity to talk privately, but for some reason, Cui Jing has never mentioned or revealed the matter.

Of course, some words don't need to be said explicitly, the two of them just need to be clear in their minds. Chang Sui Ning didn't bother with this at first, until this uncertain idea suddenly appeared in his mind.

Chang Sui Ning, who has always been accustomed to knowing oneself and the enemy, now wants to know whether Cui Jing, as a "chance person", has any ulterior and mysterious involvement with her.

Thinking about it this way, we still need to talk about it.

Facing her question, Cui Jing nodded: "Yes."

He had something to say to her.

Chang Sui Ning looked to the left and right, trying to choose a suitable place to talk, when he heard him say again: "Wait in three days."

Chang Suining looked away and looked at him puzzled: "Why? Is there anything special about it?"

Cui Jing didn't look at her, but looked at Xinghua: "You will know then."

"..." Chang Suining wanted to put her hands on her hips and look at the sky, or roll up her sleeves and sigh, but she held back.

If she kept asking, it would appear that she was very impatient. How could she lose to anyone in terms of concentration?

Three days is just three days, it's not like she won't survive until then.

As if he was aware that she was suppressing the feeling of scratching her heart and lungs, Cui Jing slightly raised her head to look at Xinghua, and quietly bent the corners of her mouth.

This scene did not escape from the eyes of Chang Suining, who looked sideways at him: "Why are you laughing?"

This guy...shouldn't he really be able to listen to her inner voice?

"It's nothing." Cui Jing looked through the apricot blossoms at the moon half hidden behind the clouds: "The moon is very beautiful."

Chang Sui Ning looked over and thought it was ordinary, especially since she was now doubting that the person next to her might be able to see into her thoughts.

Suspicious, she said: "Since you have nothing to say, I will go back first."

"That's fine." Cui Jing said, "You are injured and should rest early."

Chang Suining: "..."

With his mysterious words about three days later, she could rest peacefully.

She was dissatisfied in her heart, so she waved her hand to him slightly tiredly, and left with Xi'er and others.

Cui Jing watched her leave with a smile in her eyes.

Chang Suining frowned and thought a lot along the way, but in the end he forcibly cut off these thoughts. Anyway, the answer will be available in three days. Before that, it is okay to think too much and miss the matter.

It's just self-control, but she still has it.

She decided to think of something else to distract her attention, and there happened to be an almond tree in full bloom in front of her.

The apricot blossoms are blooming and the apricot list is revealed.

This year's imperial examination is destined to be very different because it is no longer controlled by the powerful gentry and the examiner is her teacher.

The world here will have a new atmosphere that is unique since the beginning of the Great Sage.

As Chang Suining walked forward, many familiar figures from poor families flashed through his mind.

She believed that there would be names she was familiar with on the apricot list.

But the ranking is still worth guessing. Who is at the top of the apricot list?

Chang Sui Ning is not only curious about who will win the first prize, but it is also a suspense that attracts everyone's attention. Beijing has even set up many bets on this recently.

But before the mystery was revealed, another piece of news attracted even more attention than this.

…

In the Wu Mansion in the capital, the wife of the Wu family listened to the words of her maid and looked surprised: "...seriously?"

"It's absolutely true!" The maid rejoiced with her: "Now it has spread outside!"

Wu Chunbai looked excited, immediately put down the bamboo pen in his hand, and walked out from behind the desk: "Quickly change my clothes."

Not long after, the girl from the Wu family finished dressing and left the residence with her maid. The maid was always very happy and said excitedly as she walked: "...It's really gratifying!"

"What's so gratifying?"

On a fork in the road ahead, Wu Zhaobai, the eldest brother of the girl from the Wu family who was already married, came.

Wu Chunbai stopped and looked at him quietly with raised eyebrows.

Wu Zhaobai looked at her and saw her posture and expression, so he guessed: "Why, that boy from the Qu family passed the Jinshi examination?"

The person he was talking about was a man named Juren whom Wu Chunbai met in the twelfth month of last year. This person was just in time for spring this year, and today was the day when the Ministry of Rites posted the apricot list.

Wu Chunbai looked at him and smiled: "How do I know whether he passed the exam or not?"

They have only met once and have not yet made a real marriage decision. Whether the other party passes the exam or not has nothing to do with her. In contrast, she has important matters that she is more willing to pay attention to.

Wu Zhaobai looked at her suspiciously: "Then why are you so cheerful?"

Wu Chunbai raised her lips and smiled at him again: "I am naturally happy to see that many of the sarcastic words that my brother has poured out recently have come to nothing."

Wu Zhaobai's face tightened: "What do you mean by that!"

Wu Chunbai and him were abducted and left directly with their maid.

"You..." Wu Zhaobai was extremely angry and pointed at her back, wanting to shout, but he knew that he couldn't stop shouting, and shouting would only make him more embarrassed, so he stopped two people who were returning from the front yard and were responsible for preparing carriages and horses.

Servant, ask me what's going on.

"Back to Mr. Husband, the girl is going to the music listening hall..."

Upon hearing these three words, Wu Zhaobai's eyelids jumped wildly.

The music in the Listening Hall was like the sound of nature. It used to be a pure place that he loved very much. But since the girl named Chang defeated the Song Juren by playing chess here, the Listening Hall has become a place to be praised.

The only holy place for little girls!

First, the Imperial College student and the members of her Wuer Club were flattering her, and then there was his ruthless sister, who recruited a group of official girls who were as crazy as her, and they were in this club from time to time.

What kind of poetry party is being held...

It was said to be a poetry meeting, but after listening to it secretly, he found that eight out of ten sentences by those girls were similar to those of girls from the Chang family. Whether they were writing poems or painting, most of them were based on their deeds, and their words were exaggerated and untrue.

It's like taking Wu Shi Powder or being fed ecstasy soup, it's really ruining the atmosphere!

But...it happened that their poems, calligraphy and paintings were widely popular after being circulated, but no one paid attention to his painstaking work...This phenomenon made him feel sad, and he only hated the aesthetics of the world nowadays, which was really absurd and sick.

It was okay at first, and he could still be tolerant and patient, but since the Chang family girl was named General Ningyuan, these people have become even more angry and resentful!

Their poetry gatherings actually grew bigger and bigger, and there were already countless people who drank the ecstasy soup together!

And today, his sister, whom she has never known her relatives, suddenly went to the music hall again. Could it be that... she can't...

Combined with Wu Chunbai's words just now, "the sour words came to nothing", Wu Zhaobai had a bad premonition and immediately asked on guard, "Has the news about General Ning Yuan, the troubled man, been sent back to the capital?"

"I just heard about it for the first time. It was said that General Ningyuan led his troops to defeat the Xu army on the Bian River. The battle was decisive and he beheaded the Xu thief with his own hands!" The tone of the servant was slightly excited.

This is no wonder for him. Faced with such a miraculous achievement that is bound to be recorded in the history books, his attitude is quite reserved. You must know that the pot of water outside has begun to bubble and is about to boil and explode.

Wu Zhaobai also exploded.

His ears exploded, and so did his brain: "...how is that possible?"

How could she suddenly appear in Bianshui, and how could she really kill Xu Zhengye!

His friends have also analyzed it again and again. It is clear that her rhetoric is just sensationalism. When they were drunk, they even laughed and said that if she could kill Xu Zhengye, they would dare to go there naked.

Come to Tingfang, where live the old eunuchs who have left the palace and can clean people's bodies. From then on, they took off their men's clothes, cut off their men's roots, and just became the "upstanding" girls!

After repeatedly confirming that the news was correct, Wu Zhaobai returned to the courtyard without any trace of his soul, drank three ounces of wine, and then began to cry out and recite poems.

His wife signaled to the wet nurse to take the four-year-old child down.

The husband's drunkenness was secondary, and the key poems were poor, which might ruin her son's path to education.

After the child left, she stepped forward to comfort her husband.

Wu Zhaobai grabbed the jug and raised his voice: "...I think of me, Wu Zhaobai, a dignified seven-foot-tall man. I come from a scholarly family. My grandfather once served as the minister of wine in the Imperial Academy. My father now holds the position of Minister of Taichang Temple and is in charge of the world.

Ancestral temple etiquette!”

His wife patted his shoulder and sighed, but he, a seven-foot-tall man, could not even pass the examination.

Wu Zhaobai turned to look at his wife with sympathetic eyes, suddenly burst into tears, threw himself into his wife's arms, and started crying to vent his anger.
