Even in winter, the languid sunset coated the buildings in Taixuan Capital with a layer of gold.

The cold wind cannot move the dusk clouds at this moment.

The reason why the cold sun is desolate is because the trees on the roadside are deserted, and because there are a few jackdaws croaking sadly around the trees.

It wasn't until sunset that Lu Jing walked out of Taixuan Palace.

After winning the two tests of Yuan Shen and Martial Arts, due to etiquette and law regulations, it is necessary to seal the name of the winner on several special blue bricks on the side of Taiqian Hall.

Those green bricks were produced on Xishan Road and were fired using a special kiln process.

It is said to be a blue brick, but it is actually three feet square. On ordinary days, it looks like just an ordinary blue brick, but if there is sunlight, the words carved on the green mountain will burst out with five colors of light.

There is also faint fluorescence in the dark night.

Densely packed names of people, line by line, are carved on these blue bricks.

Each row of names is different.

Only in the latest row, two of the three blue bricks have the same person's name engraved on them.

Lu Jing!

It is not uncommon to win two trials of Yuanshen Martial Arts!

Even among the winners of the past palace examinations, there are those who are stronger than Lu Jing, and there are even those who are more talented than Lu Jing, but if you want to outperform many people in Yuan Shen and martial arts along the way of practice, it is difficult to say that. It is as difficult as climbing to the sky.

This is also the reason why Lu Jing was able to alarm so many people who were accustomed to the big world.

After sealing the name on blue bricks, you have to bathe and change clothes in the Taixuan Palace. After that, there is the weaving room of Taixuan Palace, where Lu Jing is carefully made to measure, and three green clothes are made for the winner of the Yuan Shen test, and for the winner of the martial arts test. Tailored three naked clothes.

These clothes are all different, but they all represent rare honors.

If it is the previous palace examination, the winner can also be promoted to an official position and receive many gifts.

It's just that today, Lu Jing, the winner of two trials, wasted the grace of victory because of the killing of Li Yushi in Wulong Street, and did not receive many rewards.

Lu Jing didn't care, after all, no amount of rewards would be as valuable as absolution of murder.

After all this busy work, he was escorted out of Taixuan Palace by several Diao Si disciples.

It was already sunset time.

The winter sunset shines on the street, not much warmth, but adding a bit of color.

Mr. Xiao Jing, who wrote an appeal to kill the evildoer Xu Baiyan, entered the Taixuan Palace and arrived in front of the Holy King's Palace. The news that he had won the Yuan Shen and the two martial arts tests had already spread even though the results had not yet been released by the court. In Taixuan Palace.

In fact, for the common people, the influence of the imperial examination held every five years is far less than that of the imperial examination.

The winner of the test in front of the palace never rode a horse and paraded through the streets like the number one scholar, looking at Xuandu flowers.

However, in the eyes of many powerful officials, the winner of the imperial examination is no less inferior to the top scholar in literature and art.

What's more, Lu Jing is the Yuanshen and has won two martial arts tests.

Because of this, there are still many people waiting on Gongqian Street early, hoping to take a look at Lu Jing's appearance and get a good chance.

When people gather, there will be more people joining in the fun.

Because Gongqian Street is extremely wide and crowded with people on both sides.

Many people are sighing that Mr. Xiaojing has both virtue and talent. If he becomes an official in the future, he will definitely be a good official.

However, Lu Jing was busy looking back to Yanglu Street, and after declining countless invitations, he did not leave Taixuan Palace through Taihe Gate. Instead, he took the road in front of Huaishi Palace, left the palace through Shenwu Gate, and headed all the way to Yanglu Street.

But... what surprised Lu Jing was that the usually quiet Yanglu Street was also crowded with people.

Many people couldn't squeeze into Gongqian Street, so they came to Yanglu Street to wait.

Lu Jing had no choice but to take another detour through several quieter alleys before entering the small courtyard.

It's not that Lu Jing insists on avoiding these enthusiastic people. In their hearts, they just want to win every prize, just like watching the number one scholar riding a horse through the streets.

But if Lu Jing walked through the crowd all the way, he would have to face many enthusiastic inquiries, but he didn't know when he would be able to go home.

Qingming is still waiting at home.

She had not returned home all night, and with Qingming's temperament, she could not help but feel worried.

Fortunately, in order to prevent people from blocking Kongshan Alley, the Jingyin Mansion had already sent out many lion offices to clear a large area of ​​open space, so that Lu Jing's courtyard would not be so noisy and Lu Jing could quietly return to the courtyard.

Lu Jing entered the small courtyard.

Mr. Eleven was standing in front of the flower garden in the courtyard, looking down at the flowers tended by Qing Ming.

She stood quietly, her clothes fluttering... Coupled with her graceful and charming face, Mr. Eleven looked like he was carved from jade, even too perfect to look like a living person.

It's just that today's Mr. Eleven is not as expressionless as before. She looked at the longevity flower thoughtfully, with some curiosity in her eyes.

When Lu Jing entered the courtyard, Mr. Eleven did not look at him, but his tone became much more relaxed when he spoke.

"Mr. Guanqi and Mr. Jiu must be very happy and relieved to see you walking out of Taixuan Palace wearing the belt on your waist, calling for wind and rain."

Mr. Eleven said: "I have also heard what you said: "I am good at cultivating my awe-inspiring spirit"!

If you have such thoughts and persevere, you will eventually be able to gain the true meaning of knowledge in this world."

Lu Jing saluted Mr. Eleven and thanked her for protecting Qingming.

Mr. Eleven ignored Lu Jingli and asked inexplicably: "Have you noticed that the flowers and plants in this courtyard grow more vigorously than those raised by others?"

Lu Jing also looked at the flowers and plants, but he didn't find it strange at all, and replied, "It should be because Qing Yue has been taking care of them all day long."

Mr. Eleven did not continue to talk about the flowers and plants in the courtyard, but there was not much recognition in his eyes. He only said to Lu Jing: "Your little maid stayed up all night until the news that you obtained the soul and won the two martial arts tests came to Taixuan."

I went to the palace and insisted on preparing a meal for me. I didn't go to rest until after noon.

Even so, she sleeps fitfully and wakes up from time to time. You'd better go see her and give her some peace of mind.

When Mr. Eleven said this, there was rare concern in his tone. In Lu Jing's impression, Mr. Eleven had always had a cold personality and rarely showed concern for others. What he said just now surprised him.

After the accident, Lu Jing turned to look at the main house, his eyes becoming gentler. He walked into the main house, already lightly, but with the sound of opening the door, Qing Ming had already woken up.

She was wearing a brocade peach dress, she looked a little haggard, and her long hair was even more messy.

When Qing Yue saw Lu Jing entering the room, the worry in her eyes that she had tried so hard to hide suddenly turned into relief.

The tense heart relaxed instantly, making her feel dizzy and unable to stand up for a while.

Lu Jing frowned and poured a cup of hot tea for Qing Yue, then sat next to Qing Yue.

Qing Yue didn't mention the many noises she heard last night, nor her own mood. She just asked Lu Jing if he had eaten.

Lu Ding nodded, and Qing Ming finally felt relieved and sipped the cup of hot tea.

Lu Jing was beside her, talking about many interesting things.

These interesting anecdotes are all obtained from books, and some also come from libraries.

In the past, Qing Yue would always smile when she heard these stories.

But Qing Yue today only responded softly.

Until a long time ago, Lu Jing was still telling stories, but Qing Yue suddenly interrupted Lu Jing and looked outside the main room.

"Master, I often go out of my room, stand in front of the yard, and look at the stars and moon in the sky.

On this winter day, the stars and the moon in my eyes are actually cold...but our yard is hot."

Qing Yue spoke, her tone as gentle as ever. Over the past few months, she has gradually developed a fair and delicate appearance, but with a lot of melancholy.

"Occasionally, as I said to the young master before, mortal stars are not always in the sky.

Young Master, I often compare you to the bright moon in the world, and I often see myself as the stars that embellish the bright moon."

"But many times, I feel like I'm just standing on the ground looking up at the bright moon

Ordinary people are not stars, and they are very far away from the bright moon."

When Lu Jing heard Qing Yue's words, he subconsciously wanted to speak.

Qing Ming did not give him a chance and continued to speak.

"I know what the young master is going to say. Basically, he wants to say that everyone has beauty, and that Qing Ming also has his own glory.

However, Qingming will get sick and grow old.

But just like Miss Nan's ambition, in my heart the young master will eventually become a heavenly being with a life span of three hundred years.

Therefore, I may become old and decrepit when the young master is young, and the young master is in a dark place. When dealing with those evil people, I can only sit in the courtyard, guarded by stones. It will not be effective, but it will become a drag.

From now on...I will still be a drag."

Qing Yue was extremely calm when she said these words, she did not cry, her mood was very peaceful, and she did not have any excitement.

She sat safely next to Lu Jing and said, "Maybe in the young master's heart, because of his past feelings, he doesn't care about Qing Yue's ordinaryness.

But I still think of some functions."

When Qingyue said this, her eyes became more serious: "Mr. Taotian said he wanted to teach me how to grow flowers and grind medicine. He said I have some...talent?"

Lu Jing's expression moved slightly, and he immediately looked towards Mr. Eleven who was bending down outside the room, smelling the fragrance of flowers and plants in the courtyard.

"I often suffer from heart palpitations. Mr. Eleven is kind-hearted and said he wants to teach me medical skills so that I can heal myself."

Qing Ming's tone at this time seemed happier than before.

Lu Jing suddenly remembered that when he first entered the courtyard, Mr. Eleven asked him whether the flowers and plants raised by Qing Yue were more vigorous.

"Perhaps this is why Mr. Eleven is willing to teach Qing Yue?"

Originally, Lu Jing felt a little depressed after hearing Qing Yue's many words.

But when he suddenly heard the good news, his mood suddenly improved a lot.

"Mr. Taoyao's medical skills are very good. I went to see her a few days ago and prepared a medicine for my cousin. My cousin's complexion has improved a lot, and her cough is no longer so serious.

It would be best if she is willing to teach you."

Lu Jing smiled sincerely and said, "You usually stay at home, so you can't help but have random thoughts. You go out to study medicine with Mr. Shiyi. When you come back after learning some things, you can become a female doctor and open a medical clinic in Xuandu to treat diseases and save people."
