When Yan Qing received the post, he was a little surprised.
There was some difference in their identities in this life. Now he was still just an ordinary student of the Imperial College. He didn't expect that this kid would post for him.
But now that I have received it, I have to go.
So three days later, Yan Qing went to the banquet as promised.
The venue for the seventh prince's banquet was still in Xingchun Garden. This is a place where dignitaries from Beijing often come to have fun, and there are many activities to play.
There are not only polo fields, but also ice hockey fields and even hunting grounds. There is also a place for literati to recite poems, compose poems and drink wine. The scenery is also good, with rockeries, flowing water, exotic flowers and plants, pavilions and pavilions...
The seventh prince held a banquet in a lake pavilion. Although it is a pavilion, the place is very spacious. The guests inside were very casual, gathering together in twos and threes and talking loudly.
As soon as Yan Qing was led in, he heard someone calling him.
"Yan Qing, here!"
Ji Wenli waved to him, and Yan Qing walked over and sat with him.
"Do you know why the Seventh Prince held a banquet?" Yan Qing asked Ji Wenli in a low voice.
"I don't know either. We have no friendship with him in the past, so we were surprised to be invited rashly." Ji Wenli also lowered his voice.
I have to say that the Seventh Prince's banquet was really confusing.
As for Liang Maoxing, the moment Yan Qing came in, he immediately knew who he was looking for. After asking his subordinates, he confirmed his identity.
Then…
There's no after that.
He was inexplicably frightened and did not dare to step forward to say hello to anyone. Moreover, the occasion was inappropriate. He went out of his way to say hello to an Imperial College student in full public view, and he didn't know how many conspiracies would be speculated about.
So he stood still and calmly greeted everyone.
Others attended a banquet inexplicably, and then went back confused, completely unaware of the purpose of the seventh prince's banquet.
It was as if I really just attended a banquet.
"What does the Seventh Prince mean by this? Do you want to announce his existence?"
"My younger brother, can't he finally restrain his ambition?"
"I underestimate him. There is such a deep city. It's completely impossible to see what he is doing!"
…
Liang Maoxing: "..." I really just held an ordinary banquet!
Yan Shu, dressed in men's clothing, easily jumped out of the carriage and walked briskly into Mo's study.
Buying paper and ink for her brother was a rare opportunity for her to go out. At other times, her mother usually wouldn't let her go out. Only in this matter, her brother won it for her.
My brother never thought that girls should be kept at home. He often took her out to play in the past, but it was just that the provincial examination was approaching recently and he was busy preparing for the national examination, so he couldn't go out often.
But I was still afraid that she would get upset at home, so I gave her such a task.
Yan Shu felt that her brother must be the best brother in the world!
Liang Mao
He was impatient to listen and made excuses to sneak out.
But he didn't know where he was going, so he asked the coachman to drive the carriage around the capital.
When passing by the Book and Ink Studio, the car curtain was lifted by the wind. Liang Maoxing was startled, and his eyes were suddenly attracted by a figure.
"Stop!"
After the carriage stopped, Liang Maoxing jumped out of the carriage and went straight into the book and ink studio.
The Shumo Studio is not a big place, and Liang Maoxing saw the person he was looking for at a glance when he came in.
After Yan Shu bought paper and ink, she picked out a few books and was flipping through them when a man suddenly stood in front of her.
Staring at her directly, "You want to buy a book?"
Before she could speak, the other party turned to the boss and said, "Shopkeeper, I've got all the books in your store!"
Yan Shu: "..." Are you afraid that you have a mental illness
Forget it, this person looks like he is rich or noble at first glance. If he can't afford to offend her, why can't he afford to hide away
Yan Shu put down the book, took the paper and ink and left.
Liang Maoxing sighed, "Don't leave, tell me, which family are you from?"
He behaves like a deceitful person.
Yan Shu couldn't hold back and stabbed him, "What do you want me to do?"
Only then did Liang Maoxing realize that his behavior had been misunderstood, and he immediately panicked, "Well, don't get me wrong, I didn't mean anything else, it was just..."
Yan Shu didn't wait for him to finish, she immediately ran back to the carriage and urged the driver to leave quickly.
Liang Maoxing stood there at a loss.
The subordinate asked, "Your Majesty, do you want to catch up and see which young lady that is?"
"No!" Liang Maoxing subconsciously refused. He was worried that catching up would make her misunderstanding even deeper.
But another subordinate said, "Your Majesty, I recognize that carriage. It is the carriage of the Song family, Song Yanqing, a student of the Imperial College, whom you asked me to inquire about before."
"It's him!"
No wonder he felt familiar as soon as he saw her. It turned out to be somewhat similar to her brother.
But what happened to these two siblings? Why did he act abnormally when he saw them
After Yan Shu returned home, she didn't tell her family about this, for fear that they would be worried. I didn’t tell my brother either, for fear of affecting his review.
Autumn has arrived in the blink of an eye, and autumn has arrived as scheduled.
The three members of the Song family went to see Yan Qing enter the venue together. Song Chi and Miao Guihua gave their instructions as usual.
"Don't be nervous. Just take the exam well. Don't be stressed. Look, there are people with gray hair taking the exam. It doesn't matter if you don't pass the exam this time. You are still young and you will still have a chance in the future."
"What nonsense are you talking about? My son has not even entered the scene yet, and you are saying such depressing words! Yan Qing, don't listen to your mother, don't be stressed, and don't be too relaxed, just do what you usually do."
Yan Shu also told him, "Brother, you have to take care of yourself. The pancakes should be soaked in hot water before eating. You can't eat them cold."
Yan Qing agreed one by one, "Okay, I understand, you should go back early."
After saying goodbye to them, Yan Qing was about to enter the venue when he heard Ji Wenli calling him.
"Yan Qing, wait for me."
Ji Wenli also participated in this provincial examination.
Among the people who sent him off, in addition to his eldest brother, there was also a figure that Yan Qing was very familiar with, who was his "distant cousin".
As soon as her eyes fell on Yan Qing, she immediately lowered her head and twisted her hands together unconsciously. .
"I just said you don't need to send it off. You see, Yan Qing came alone. Okay, brother, you can go back. We are about to enter the venue. Let's go, Yan Qing."
Yan Qing did not clarify. He only greeted the Ji brothers and sisters and prepared to enter the venue with Ji Wenli.
Seeing that he was leaving, Ji Qingyi finally plucked up the courage to speak, "Second brother, Brother Song, Brother Song, you, you guys, take care of yourselves..."
She stammered in her short sentence, her face turned red, and her ears were red and bleeding.
Yan Qing is not a fool, he has already noticed that this girl seems to be interested in him.
However, he has lived for too long and has given up on love long ago. His heart is calm and it is difficult to be emotional towards anyone.
Although marriage does not necessarily have to be based on feelings, especially in the environment of ancient times, it was the mainstream for parents to order, and the matchmaker to get married without even meeting each other. And if he gets married, he will definitely fulfill the responsibilities and obligations of a husband, give love and respect to his wife, and maintain absolute loyalty.
But Yan Qing still feels that it is better not to have a loveless marriage. Especially when this girl is passionately devoted to him, it would be unfair to her to marry her even though he doesn't like her.
So he had already planned to tell his parents that he would not give birth. Although it was a bit cruel, it was still a good idea. If they must continue the family lineage, the most indispensable thing in the world is orphans, and adopting a few would be an explanation for them.
So Yan Qing smiled at her politely and said in a very distant tone, "Thank you."
Since there is no intention, it is better not to give her hope.
Unsurprisingly, Yan Qing once again took the case and became the Jie Yuan of the provincial examination.
A fifteen-year-old scholar is rarer than a thirteen-year-old scholar.
However, in a place like the capital where there are as many royal relatives and nobles as dogs, a small Jieyuan seems to be unable to make any waves. It was only mentioned a few times after dinner, and was quickly forgotten.
Only Yan Qing's family was truly happy.
This is a great joy for them.
"I will take part in the examination in March next year. Time is running out. It is better to leave the celebration later." Yan Qing persuaded his family to celebrate him grandly, and only had a sumptuous meal as a family. To celebrate.
