September is full of flowers

Qing Ning didn't know when she fell asleep last night, she just felt sore and numb all over.As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw Shen Man standing at the door full of energy, holding a scroll in his hand, reciting some chapters of "Determinism" while shaking his head, without uttering a single word or pausing.

Qing Ning was a little startled, wondering if it was possible that this lump of wood could be enlightened overnight?

She didn't believe that Shen Man had such ability, so she hurried to look for Tang Jiuyue.Even though Tang Jiuyue didn't sleep all night, she was still charming, which made Qing Ning jealous.

"Gate Supervisor, what method did you use to teach Shen Man? Why do I feel like she changed overnight." Qing Ning asked puzzled.

Tang Jiuyue said, "Xiaoman's situation is special. She was not born this way. Have you noticed that she tends to lose her mind when reading a book. At this time, it is impossible to use external force. You can only overcome it with expert methods."

"An expert's method?" Qing Ning rubbed her chin and thought, "What kind of method is that, why have I never heard of it?"

Tang Jiuyue smiled lightly, slipped out a medicine bottle from her sleeve, and put it in Qing Ning's palm, "I'll hand it over to you again, I'll go back to Taige to deal with some things."

Qing Ning approached her and asked in a low voice, "Your Majesty..."

Tang Jiuyue said lightly, "I will handle it myself."

When she left, Shen Man was still concentrating on studying the last paragraph of the last chapter, and when he came back to his senses and closed "Determinism", he saw Qing Ning standing there, and Tang Jiuyue had long since disappeared.

Shen Man was naturally disappointed for a while, but with a touch of luck, he asked Qing Ning, "Has the gate guard left?"

Qing Ning opened the porcelain bottle Tang Jiuyue gave her, and put it on her nose to sniff, only to feel a choking smell rushing straight to her nose, and hurriedly stuffed the smelly bottle to Shen Man, leaning on the tree trunk and bending over to vomit.

"I thought it was some kind of ghost. It turns out that the expert's method that the gate supervisor said was this..." Qing Ning turned pale, wiped off the stains around her mouth, and said weakly, "This thing is really smelly, you Can you smell it?"

Shen Man said with a smile, "My nose is not very sharp, it's just right to have such a pungent thing."

Qing Ning thought for a while and said, "Smelling this kind of thing for a long time must be bad for your health, why don't you try my silver needle again?" She said sincerely and seriously.

Shen Man was ashamed, and quickly rejected her kindness, "I think it's just right to use this, I don't need to bother Qing Ningmen's supervisor to give the needle!"

Qing Ning stared at her for a long time, her brows loosened and furrowed, then furrowed and loosened again.

"In just a short time last night, have you finished reading "Determinism"?"

"Well, I've finished watching."

"Remember?"

Shen smiled confidently, "You can memorize it backwards."

Qing Ning's eyes widened, not quite believing it.Shen Man calmly handed over "Determination of Heaven" and signaled Qing Ning to come up with questions at will.After Qing Ning asked a few words, she couldn't help being amazed to see that Shen Man had memorized everything.

"It turns out that you are not really stupid. Your memory is so good that even I am jealous." Qing Ning said, "I started reciting "Determination" since I was five years old, and it took at least a year to master it, which is considered fast , I didn’t expect you to be able to memorize them all overnight, at this speed, I believe you can reach the level of my hard study for a year in less than three days!”

Shen Man said modestly, "It's too late to recite at my current age, it's not as good as Qing Ningmen's supervisor back then."

Qing Ning snorted, and said, "You're welcome, it seems that the medicine bottle given by the gate supervisor is indeed useful. At this speed, I believe that you can finish reading the books you need soon, at least you won't hand in empty papers. "

"Well, thank you, Supervisor Qing Ningmen." Hearing what she said, Shen Man felt a lot more relaxed.

Qing Ning raised her hand to look at the sun, and said, "Let's go out to eat at noon, and buy some ink and rice paper by the way, your handwriting is too rigid, you need to practice hard."

Shen Man readily agreed.

After leaving the house for only one day, I felt that the scene on the street was very different.

Shen Man asked as he walked, "I saw people crowded in front of those gates and mansions along the way. The Yin Yang Dao registration exam has ended, why are these people gathered together again?"

Qing Ning was about to answer, but saw a nimble figure suddenly appearing, standing behind Shen Man, patted Shen Man on the shoulder, and said, "It's such a coincidence, I didn't expect to meet you again."

Qing Ning didn't think it was a coincidence, she rolled her eyes, and said angrily, "Miss Wu, why are you pestering us like a follower?"

But Wu Niannian raised her chin and said, "I'm not chasing you."

Shen Man saw that Wu Niannian had changed her outfit today. She was wearing a double-breasted pink dress with a popular slanted hair bun. The makeup on her face was delicate. In general, it is quite different from what you have seen in the past few days.

Qing Ning looked Wu Niannian up and down, a trace of surprise flashed in her eyes, "You participated in the 'Douhui'? Which camp are you in?"

Shen Man asked, "What is a 'douhui'?"

Wu Niannian said proudly, "Miss Qing Ning is indeed an old fritter in the capital, and she can tell the origin of my clothes at a glance. That's right, I participated in the 'Douhui', and I entered the camp of the First Prince."

"Elder Prince?" Qing Ning hooked the corners of her lips, "I didn't expect the Eldest Prince to be so short of people." The implication is that the Eldest Prince is so short of people that even Wu Niannian, who has no background and no skills, has recruited him. It can be seen that this year's strength is really average.

Wu Niannian was able to suppress it, and instead of continuing to quarrel with Qing Ning, she pulled Shen Man and said, "Would you like to go to the First Prince's camp? I think the First Prince is gentle and polite to others, and he is a prince. If you win a round for him It will be of great help to your career in the future."

Qing Ning pulled Wu Niannian away from holding Shen Man's hand, turned her head and said to Shen Man, "You are not allowed to go!"

Wu Niannian came over and grabbed Shen Man's clothes again, "Participating in the 'fight meeting' is a good way to show off your strengths, why do you want to stop it? Besides, it's up to Miss Shen to decide whether to go or not, she doesn't have to listen to you!"

Shen Man was dragged and pulled, and said innocently, "Can any of you tell me what the fight is, so I can decide whether to participate?"

So Qing Ning and Wu Niannian looked at each other, and it was Wu Niannian who said, "Before the big exam of Yin-Yang Dao every year, there will be important officials and princes from the court to win over capable candidates to join their camp. Before the official exam, there will be a small-scale competition." , this is the 'Douhui'."

Qing Ning continued, "Generally speaking, the eldest prince, Princess Decheng and others will attend, and other princes and princesses may also attend. In addition to the royal family, important officials in the court also have the right to win over talents they like. For example, last year Master Ning, the No. 20 candidate of the Pill Sect, Wang Hui, belongs to his camp."

Shen Man pondered, "For the people in the court, this 'douhui' is a means of attracting talents in advance, and for the candidates, it is a competition to prove their own strength and test the strength of other competitors."

Wu Niannian nodded, "That's right, that's right. How about it, do you dare to accept the challenge?"

"Xiaoman," Qing Ning said suddenly, "the gate supervisor will also participate."

Shen Man was taken aback, and only now did he understand why Qing Ning was trying to stop her just now.I was originally Tang Jiuyue's only apprentice. If I saw Tang Jiuyue approve and accept other people as apprentices, I would definitely feel uncomfortable.

"Qing Ning, I think I'd better go to this money fight meeting'," Shen Man said with a smile, "I want to see how far other people have reached, and I also want to test my ability. Besides, you said that the gate The prison will come, why should I not join in the fun?"

"That's just right," Wu Niannian said happily, "I recommend you to the First Prince, and we will join the First Prince's camp together!"

"Ah."
