"Hmm? You're here." Gu Jiao saw Xiao Liulang when she stood up. She walked towards him with a small medicine box, and did not show any extra eyes to look at Prince An.

Prince An laughed at himself and looked at the extra hand he stretched out.

I knew she could avoid it.

But still-

"I'll come over to have a look today." Xiao Liulang paused and said again, "Jingkong was taken back by Liu Quan."

This is a tacit understanding that only people who meet day and night have. She doesn't have to ask, she already knows what she might ask.

Gu Jiao bent her lips: "I have nothing to do here, I can go back after cleaning up."

Xiao Liulang: "How is Jiang Shi's situation?"

Gu Jiao: "It's recovering well."

Xiao Liulang: "I just saw Xiao Jiangli. She is helping to get medicine. The little girl is very clever."

Someone said a little too much today.

Gu Jiao didn't think deeper and went back to the yard to pack up her things.

Prince An looked at Xiao Liulang with a smile, with a sure and supportive look: "The examination is good, and the difficulty of the palace examination is not smaller than that of the examination. If you take the exam well, I will find a way to send your test paper to His Majesty."

All the tribute scholars were qualified to participate in the palace examination, with a total of 210 people, but there were less than thirty test papers submitted to the emperor.

It seems that the power of the palace examination is in the hands of the emperor, but the first step is to rely on the cabinet to check it.

For candidates, they are not capable enough and they still have a background, otherwise the test paper will not be in the hands of the emperor at all.

The chief minister of the cabinet is Yuan, but Yuan is old, and most of the cabinet's power is now controlled by Grand Tutor Zhuang.

The reason why Prince An sent an olive branch to Xiao Liulang was because he did take a fancy to Xiao Liulang early in the morning, and the other was that he had enough confidence that even if he sent the test papers with Xiao Liulang to the emperor, he could still win the top scorer.

As for whether there is a third reason, it is unknown whether you show your identity and superiority in front of Gu Jiao.

Gu Jiao carried a small basket and walked over: "What are you talking about?"

"Nothing." Xiao Liulang glanced at Prince An with an expressionless face, without any appreciation. He turned to Gu Jiao and said, "Let's go."

"Yeah!" Gu Jiao nodded and told him out of the clinic.

In the evening, Feng Lin came over. He came by himself and did not bring Lin Chengye. Since living with Lin Chengye... No, after living with him, Feng Lin rarely acted alone.

Today, it was because Lin Chengye was arranged by Manager Zhou to go on a blind date.

Feng Lin came to Xiao Liulang about the case of his parents in Song County, and the case had progressed. After receiving Xiao Liulang's letter, Mr. Feng immediately asked Feng Lin's parents for the case and personally interrogated Feng Lin's relatives.

Have you ever seen such a powerful official in the countryside? In their hearts, the county magistrate is the god, but even the county magistrate can only stand aside and pour tea for each other.

Without much effort, Feng Lin's relatives asked him about this. This matter had nothing to do with Feng Lin's parents, and he restored his two elders' innocence and Feng Lin's innocence.

"Liulang, have you heard me speak?" In the study, Feng Lin shook his hand in front of Xiao Liulang.

"Well, I heard it." Xiao Liulang said absent-mindedly.

Why do I feel like you are in a wrong state?

Feng Lin also has to rush back to read books to prepare for the palace examination next month, so he didn't stay for too long.

When he was out of the yard, he met the old priest coming from next door. He thought about it and said to Liulang's son-in-law: "...I don't know what happened to him. I have met him for so long and I have never seen him like this."

The old scholar went to Xiao Liulang's study.

"You are here." Xiao Liulang greeted him, feeling unhappy.

The old priest sat down opposite his desk, then looked at him deeply and asked, "Are you upset?"

"No." Xiao Liulang denied.

The old priest asked, "Is it Mr. Xiao?"

Xiao Liulang: "No."

Old priest: "Palace Examination?"

Xiao Liulang: "No."

The old scholar pondered for a moment: "Jiaojiao?"

Xiao Liulang: “…”

Xiao Liulang changed the subject: "Aren't you tutoring Xiao Jingkong? How is he learning?"

Yoyo, it's all changed the topic.

When did you and that little monk fall in love so much?

It wasn't so easy for the old priest to give up, otherwise he wouldn't have insisted on moving here at the beginning. His Ah Heng was not the carefree Ah Heng in the past. He locked himself up and was unwilling to let himself come out.

The old priest said earnestly: "I have always wanted to ask you, what are you planning between you and Jiaojiao? When you fainted on the side of the road and was picked up by Jiaojiao, it was the Gu family who forced you to marry her. Although you are husband and wife, you are not husband and wife."

Xiao Liulang didn't say anything.

The old priest continued, "You didn't leave her before because you were worried that she had nowhere to go. Now that this worry is gone, what are you still thinking about?"

Xiao Liulang said: "I didn't think about anything."

The old priest said again: "Then let me ask you again, why did you come to Beijing? You should never want to come back to this place in your life, right?"

Xiao Liulang opened his mouth.

The old priest didn't give him a chance to answer: "Don't say that Jiaojiao forced you to come, did she put the knife around your neck?"

Xiao Liulang lowered his eyes: "No."

The old priest sighed: "If you miss such a good girl, you won't have to. If you don't cherish it, you will have someone to cherish it for you. I think Feng Lin is good, and that boy Lin Chengye is also thick."

Xiao Liulang turned black: "Teacher!"

The old scholar laughed: "Okay, okay, just kidding. They don't mean that to Jiaojiao, but they may not be sure that others will."

This is the truth. Jiaojiao is so outstanding, there will always be people who find her goodness and fall in love with her.

The stupid apprentice is smart about everything, but this part is not very good at it.

After the old priest left, Xiao Liulang stayed in the study for a long time until it was completely dark before he got up and walked out.

Gu Jiao is cleaning the yard.

He saw whether there was any firewood in the woodshed room. He picked up the axe and wanted to chop the firewood. Gu Jiao hurriedly walked over and took the axe from his hand: "No, I'll do it."

She is very persistent.

Xiao Liulang went to the well to carry water again, but she stopped him.

Xiao Liulang's eyes fell on her hand holding a bucket. Her hands were slender and slender, but not as delicate as fat as a lady from a family. She had thin calluses on her palms and knife marks on her tiger's mouth.

All the hardships she endured lies in these hands.

Xiao Liulang suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.

"What's wrong with you?" Gu Jiao asked him.

"Jiaojiaojiaojiao!"

Xiao Jingkong ran over with a homework in his hand, "I've finished the questions that my son-in-law gave me!"

Gu Jiao took it and saw that although she couldn't understand it, the word was improved compared to before.

"Awesome." Gu Jiao praised.

Xiao Jingkong did not leave with his hands on his back.

"What's wrong?" Gu Jiao asked.

Xiao Jingkong said cutely: "I want to eat candied haws."

Gu Jiao nodded: "Okay, I'll buy it for you."

Xiao Liulang said: "I happened to... I want to buy something too."

Gu Jiao smiled: "Then let's go together."

Xiao Jingkong Bengbang: "I want to go too!"

Gu Jiao said softly: "You go to bed early and you will go to school tomorrow. Keep the candied haws for you to eat tomorrow morning."

Xiao Jingkong:...good.

Being a child is a troublesome, I feel a lot!

Gu Jiao and Xiao Liulang went out.

"What do you want to buy?" Gu Jiao asked while walking on the road.

"Uh...book." Xiao Liulang said.

Gu Jiao thought for a while: "That's not far away, when you buy candied haws, you will pass by the study."

Xiao Liulang: "Yes."

The night in March is not that cold, but the cold wind blows on your body and is still a little cool.
