The Qin Mansion was in chaos.
Everyone was talking about how my brother-in-law vomited blood and fainted just after coming out of the examination room.
Xia Chan quickly walked out of the room.
When Qin Wenzhen and Song Ruyue entered, Luo Qingzhou was lying on the bed, covering his eyes, gasping for air with a hissing sound, his face full of pain.
Qin Wenzheng walked to the bedside and took a look, then said with a look of disdain: "Okay, stop pretending, the exams are over, don't make everyone worry anymore."
Luo Qingzhou took his hand away, showing his eyes, and said, "Father-in-law, I'm really not pretending. It hurts."
Qin Wenzheng looked at his dark blue eyes, stunned for a moment, and asked in surprise: "Who hit him? Wasn't he fine when he just entered the mansion?"
Song Ruyue, who was standing next to him, immediately shouted angrily, "Qingzhou, tell your mother-in-law who beat you. Your mother-in-law will take care of it for you!"
Luo Qingzhou said: "Xia Chan."
Qin Wenzheng said: "You have been in there for three days. I guess you didn't eat well or sleep well. Take a shower, eat, and have a good rest for a day."
Song Ruyue turned around and shouted at the door: "Qiu'er, Xiaodie, go and prepare hot water for your son-in-law to take a bath. Mei'er, go to the kitchen and bring the prepared food. Everyone else, go away and don't disturb your son-in-law to rest!"
"Yes, ma'am!"
The maid outside agreed and went to prepare immediately.
Song Ruyue said: "Master, let Qingzhou have a good rest, we should leave now."
Qin Wenzheng nodded, turned around and walked a few steps towards the door, but couldn't help but turned back and asked, "Qingzhou, are the questions in this exam difficult?"
Luo Qingzhou rubbed his eyes and said casually: "It's just fine, it's okay."
"Um?"
Song Ruyue was stunned for a moment and immediately raised her eyebrows.
Luo Qingzhou finally reacted and said quickly: "Fortunately, it's not too difficult."
Qin Wenzheng felt relieved when he heard this, and asked again: "Have you answered all the questions?"
Luo Qingzhou said: "I have answered it, but I don't know if it is correct."
Qin Wenzheng nodded, and did not dare to ask any more questions, fearing that it would put too much pressure on him. He said to his wife who was looking at him coldly, "Let's go, don't disturb Qingzhou's rest."
"snort!"
Song Ruyue walked out angrily.
This little bastard teased her right after the exam. Don't let her catch him in the future, otherwise she will definitely let him know what "making do and being sloppy" means!
Luo Qingzhou took a nice hot bath, ate a lot of delicious food, and then lay down on the soft big bed, ready to go to sleep.
But I always feel a little uncomfortable and have trouble falling asleep, as if there is something I haven’t done.
"Xiaodie, come in!"
Xiaodie heard the noise outside and hurried in: "Sir, what's wrong?"
Luo Qingzhou said: "Come up, give me a hug."
"Ah, sir, in broad daylight..."
"Come here quickly, Master hasn't hugged you for three days."
"Oh, sir, just a hug?"
Xiaodie walked over, took off her stockings, and got on the bed with her small, bare, snow-white feet.
"certainly."
Luo Qingzhou fell asleep contentedly.
Outside the hospital.
Miss Qin Er, dressed in a plain white dress, stared at the door for a long time with the support of Zhu'er before continuing to walk forward.
Soon, they arrived at Lingchan Moon Palace.
"Squeak..."
The gate opened.
Bai Ling appeared in the door in a pink dress and said with a sweet smile: "Second Miss, please come in. My young lady is in the back garden."
Qin Weimo smiled slightly, walked in, and asked softly, "Where's Xia Chan?"
Bai Ling said: "Chanchan is not here. She went to the lake to be in a daze."
Qin Weimo was stunned for a moment and asked, "By the lake?"
Bai Ling said, "Yes, by the lake in Yue Ye Ting Yu Garden. She often went there to sit by the lake and stare blankly these days."
Qin Weimo showed a thoughtful look between his brows and followed her to the back garden.
The setting sun makes me slightly tipsy.
The golden sunset shines on the pond, and the breeze blows, making the waves sparkle.
In the pavilion, a girl in a snow-white dress sat there, quietly looking at the swaying light in the pond, wondering what she was thinking.
"elder sister… "
Qin Weimo walked over and said softly, "Weimo wants to see your divorce letter, is that okay?"
The lark stood outside the pavilion with its ears pricked up.
Qin Jianjia turned around, paused, took out the divorce letter from the book on the table, and handed it to her.
Qin Weimo took it, unfolded it and looked at it carefully.
After a while, she whispered, "Sister, it doesn't feel good to write like this. It may hurt your brother-in-law. Try another way."
Qin Jianjia was stunned for a moment, silent for a moment, and nodded: "You decide."
Qin Weimo held the divorce letter and said to Bailing outside the pavilion: "Bailing, please come into the house and help me grind the ink. I will write for my sister."
Bai Ling nodded and said, "Okay."
The two of them went into the house together.
Qin Jianjia looked back at the sunset in the pond that was broken by the wind, her expression dazed.
In the house.
Bailing was grinding ink, while Qin Weimo was sitting at the table, spreading out a piece of rice paper, holding a pen and pondering.
Then, dip the brush in ink and write.
Soon, the beautiful small characters had covered the entire rice paper.
Bai Ling said enviously, "Second Miss, your handwriting is so beautiful, and your hands are so pretty too."
Qin Weimo smiled slightly, put down his pen, looked up at her and said, "No one is as pretty as you."
Bailing immediately smiled like a flower and said shyly: "The second young lady is really good at talking. Although I also think I am pretty, compared with the eldest young lady and the second young lady, I am far behind."
Qin Weimo blew the ink dry, stood up and said softly: "Bai Ling, please sign for me. Just write my name."
Bai Ling was stunned when she heard this: "Don't you want the lady to sign it herself?"
Qin Weimo smiled and said, "No, you can just sign for her, it's okay."
"oh."
Bailing immediately sat down, picked up the pen and dipped it in ink, carefully signed the three words "Qin Jianjia", blushed a little and said: "Second Miss, my handwriting is so ugly..."
Qin Weimo picked up the rice paper, took a look at it, and smiled: "Very cute."
The two left the house and went to the back garden.
Qin Weimo handed the written divorce letter to the snow-white figure and said softly, "Sister, take a look and see if what Weimo wrote is appropriate?"
Qin Jianjia took it in her hand and frowned slightly when she saw the last eight words "Separate for now and calm down".
Qin Weimo quickly explained: "Actually, it means divorcing my brother-in-law, but in order not to embarrass my brother-in-law, Weimo wrote it in a more tactful way."
Qin Jianjia looked at the two big "Divorce Letters" on the top and nodded slightly: "Okay. Do you want me to put my fingerprints on it?"
Qin Weimo said, "No need, Bailing has already signed for you. My brother-in-law is a son-in-law, so there are no such things to worry about. You just need to give him a letter of divorce, and he just needs to sign it in front of my father and mother."
Qin Jianjia glanced at her name again and said softly, "Okay."
Qin Weimo glanced at the still cold and indifferent expression on her face, and said without saying anything more: "Sister, Weimo will go back first."
Qin Jianjia nodded slightly.
Qin Weimo glanced at Bailing beside him, then said goodbye and left.
After she left, Bai Lingfang pouted, somewhat dissatisfied: "Miss, the second young lady looks so anxious today. When you told her about this before, she always refused, but today she took the initiative to help you write a divorce letter. Is she so anxious for you to divorce her husband?"
Qin Jianjia looked at the divorce letter in her hand and remained silent.
Bailing sighed, "Yes, my son-in-law has finished his exams, and this matter should indeed have a result. It was my son-in-law's own choice, so don't blame the Second Miss."
Zhu'er was waiting outside the door, and when she saw her young lady coming out, she asked, "Miss, did the eldest lady speak to you?"
Qin Weimo smiled and said, "Of course I did. My sister is doing well now."
Seeing that she seemed to be in a very happy mood, Zhu Er asked curiously, "Miss, has the eldest lady already written the divorce letter?"
Qin Weimo said: "Yeah."
Zhu Er also said happily: "That's great. When the results are announced the day after tomorrow, if you pass the exam, you can propose to me."
After a pause, he whispered, "Even if you don't pass the imperial examination, you can still propose to me. Miss will certainly not despise you."
Qin Weimo looked ahead and said nothing more.
When passing by Meixiang Garden, Qiu'er just came out of the door.
"Miss."
Qiu Er saw the two of them and hurried over, whispering, "My son-in-law is asleep. Just now... he was lingering with Xiao Die for a long time."
Zhu Er immediately said with a straight face: "How long is a long time?"
Qiu Er said, "More than an hour. I guess he was stuck in the examination room for too long."
Zhu Er said, "Humph, you lecherous son-in-law!"
Qin Weimo said softly, "Qiu'er, take good care of your uncle and give in to Xiaodie. Xiaodie and your uncle are relatives, we can't compare. Don't talk about some things everywhere, understand?"
Qiu'er said quickly: "Miss, don't worry, I know everything."
Qin Weimo nodded and said, "Go in, I still have to go to my mother's place."
"Um."
Qiu'er watched the two people walk away before entering the yard.
Night falls quickly.
At this time, the lights in the innermost house of the Imperial Examination Hall were brightly lit.
Hanlin scholar Lin Wentang was in charge, and the other five officials were sitting at each table, marking the test papers all night long.
The outside is heavily guarded and the security is tighter than in previous exams.
From time to time, voices of praise could be heard from the room: "Good article! Good article! Cousin Yuan, come and take a look at this one!"
Whenever he came across a good answer sheet, Lin Wentang would personally go and read it.
The name, hometown, etc. on the test paper are all sealed tightly. No one can open it and check it privately without the approval of the examiner and the witness of other officials, otherwise it will be a capital crime.
So when they saw a good essay, they would scratch their heads anxiously, trying to guess which talented scholar's exam paper it was.
It was almost dawn when several people yawned, put away their test papers, and went to sleep in the inner room with their clothes on.
There is still one day left tomorrow, and they will try to finish grading by tomorrow evening and then announce the results the day after tomorrow.
During these two days, not only did they not sleep well, but the candidates naturally did not sleep well either.
Of course, there are also candidates who are open-minded or confident in themselves. After the exam, they go to the brothel together to relax.
The defense and control of Mo City remained very strict during these two nights.
By night, there was no one on the streets.
Luo Qingzhou did not go out again at night. He stayed at home breathing in and out, practicing his internal energy.
After taking a medicinal bath and inhaling the spiritual liquid, he could clearly feel that a large amount of energy was rapidly accumulating in the various acupoints in his body, preparing for a breakthrough.
During the day, he went to the bottom of the lake again, got into the secret passage, and began to fight against the magma that blocked the passage and had turned into rock, mobilizing the Qi and blood in his body to refine his marrow.
This afternoon.
Suddenly, from the innermost room of the Imperial Examination Hall, a voice of exclamation came out: "What a good poem! What a good poem!"
This person is Zhang Zhimiao, the Imperial Academy attendant. From last night till now, every time he sees a good answer, he would shout excitedly. Everyone has gotten used to it, so no one pays any attention to him.
Suddenly, he clapped his hands and said, "What a good article! What a good article! Cousin Yuan, come quickly. This man has great literary talent and deserves the first place!"
As soon as this was said, someone nearby laughed and said, "Brother Mingzhe, stop yelling. Those test papers you boasted about before were just so-so."
Another person also laughed and said, "This title is too worthless. I guess Brother Mingzhe will change his mind again when he sees the next test paper."
Zhang Zhimiao suddenly became anxious, and immediately stood up and took the test paper and said: "This time I will not lie to you, you should first listen to this seven-character poem about lotus..."
Seeing that he looked agitated and seemed to be angry, several people put down their work, looked up and smiled, "Okay, let's listen."
Lin Wentang also listened attentively.
Zhang Zhimiao looked solemn, and immediately recited aloud: "The lotus leaf skirt is cut in one color, and the lotus blossoms on both sides of the face. I can't see it when I enter the pond, and I only realize someone is coming when I hear the song..."
After hearing this, the eyes of several people all lit up and they nodded, saying, "It is indeed a good poem."
Lin Wentang also nodded and said, "Not bad, good writing."
Zhang Zhimiao quickly said excitedly: "Everyone, please listen to the following article about lotus."
Then he recited aloud: "There are many lovely flowers on land and in water... Everyone loves peonies and chrysanthemums. I only love the lotus, which grows out of the mud without being stained, washes in the water without being coquettish, is straight inside and outside, and has no vines or branches..."
When this "On the Love of Lotus" was published, everyone was shocked.
“Bang!”
One of them stood up and exclaimed: "What a good article! What a good article!"
Others were also amazed.
Lin Wentang immediately stood up, walked to Zhang Zhimiao, looked at the test paper in his hand and said, "Take a look at the answers below."
The two of them watched together, their expressions becoming more and more solemn and excited.
"When I woke up in the morning, I heard the snowflakes falling... It must be that the fairies were drunk and smashed the white clouds into pieces..."
“Encourage agricultural businesses and develop the economy…”
Zhang Zhimiao's eyes suddenly widened, and he shouted again, his face full of excitement: "Incredible! Incredible! Genius! Genius!"
Lin Wentang, who was marking the papers with him, was startled by his sudden surprise. When he looked at the answer paper carefully, his face was also filled with excitement.
When they saw the last question, they suddenly said in unison: "Great article! Great! Great!"
