Big traitor pregnant with my cub

The man in black obviously walked around Zhou Yi's side often. After he came in, he came to the side of the bed, took out a fire from his arms and shook it lightly, and a dim light of fire appeared next to the bed.

Zhou Yi hadn't slept soundly at all, and when the light of the fire appeared, he immediately woke up. Seeing him waking up, the man in black nodded to him, then immediately extinguished the fire and put it back in his arms.

Tonight, when Ah Yao went out to do errands in the dark, it was basically a contact signal, but whenever Ah Yao went out, people hidden in the dark would know that Zhou Yi had something to order, and would come to find him.

When Zhou Yi sat up, the man in black skillfully leaned his upper body forward, nodded as he listened, and after listening to the order, he replied "yes" in a low voice, and sneaked out as quietly as when he came.

As soon as he left, how many people couldn't sleep all night and ran around.

But all of this is only going on in the dark, and nothing can be seen on the bright side.

For the next seven days, Xia Jing in the courtyard next door did not go out for the first time. All the preparations before the exam were made by relevant officials who came here to wait for orders. Checked one or two in the courtyard, but the secret surveillance still has not weakened.

It was not until the day before the official examination that Zhou Yi showed up at the Tribute Court, and took someone to check it carefully to make sure there were no omissions.

On the day of the exam, nothing else changed except that the original invigilator, Yu Ming, was replaced by someone else.

The Enke exam lasted nine days, and the students had to stay in the cubicle in the Gongyuan for nine days and eight nights. It not only tested their knowledge, but also challenged their physical strength, especially for those literati who couldn’t lift their shoulders or hands. When they leave after the exam, they are often sallow and emaciated, as if they lost half of their lives.

The students will be restricted in their personal freedom during these nine days, and the same is true for the examiners. Once they enter the Gongyuan, they have to wait for the last examinee to hand in their papers and leave before they can leave. During these nine days, they have to eat, drink and drink in the Gongyuan.

But after all, the status is different, the treatment of the examiner is better than that of the examinee, for example, the examinee only provides some cold and hard dry food such as steamed buns and pancakes, and the examiner can still eat hot food after all, but this is still incomparable with the delicate delicacies on weekdays of.

At this moment, the examinees at the entrance of the Gong Yuan were undergoing inspections, and they filed in. Zhou Yi, the censor in charge of supervision, was standing not far away, wearing a crimson official uniform representing the status of a first-rank official, neatly wearing it. inspection duties.

At that time, only first-rank officials wore this scarlet official uniform.

After so many days in Yangzhou, this was the first time he had put on this official uniform. The crimson color on his body made him look even more dignified, and the dignity of Yipin was immediately displayed.

Besides him, the other person wearing a scarlet official uniform is Xia Jing.

It was only here that the seal of the examination paper was checked. Xia Jing ordered the assistant examiner to guard the examination paper, and walked towards the other blush standing at the entrance of the Gongyuan.

This official uniform was worn on him, which was different from Zhou Yi's. A white jade belt was tightened around his waist, which complemented his slender waist and narrow hips.

"Master Zhou came too early." Xia Jing stood a step away from Zhou Yi, his eyes lightly swept over Zhou Yi, and then settled on the examinee whose underwear was searched, with a smile on his lips Said, "Your Excellency, you have to be careful, and don't make any mistakes."

Zhou Yi didn't even look at him, and just responded lightly: "With Mr. Zhou here, naturally there will be no mistakes, but Master Xia should be more cautious."

The smile on the corners of Xia Jing's lips remained unchanged, he hummed lightly, and remained silent.

The Xia Jingcai who was in front of everyone today looked the same as usual, he was completely different from the man who was full of sarcasm but full of coquettish brows and eyes that day.

The governor of the highest rank in the south of the Yangtze River is the governor of the second rank. It is rare to see people in the crimson official uniforms of the first rank. Now there are only two of them. At this time, there are already many officials in the tribute courtyard. Look at it openly and secretly.

Although these two don't get along with each other on weekdays, they both have a good appearance. Standing together like this, they seem to have all the charm in the world, especially this Master Xia. If you really count, they have never seen such a beautiful appearance. good man.

Could it be that the road to success in official career is not only dependent on talent and means, but also has something to do with appearance?

No matter what they thought, after all the candidates had entered the arena, Enke started on time with the sound of a gong.

Distributing the examination papers and reading out the rules of the examination room were all arranged and carried out in an orderly manner. When the candidates began to review the questions, Zhou Yi walked back and forth in the aisle of the examination room with his hands behind his back, and then returned to the place prepared for the examiners to rest.

This place is said to be prepared for the examiners, but it is actually two connected rooms inside and outside. Although the conditions are better than the small cubicle where the examinees live, it is still simple and crude. There is only a couch and a few chairs in the room. It was just enough for Zhou Yi and the others, and the other was a round table for eating and a desk for the examination papers.

At this time, the door was wide open, and the situation of the candidates in the first row could be seen at a glance. The exam had just started, and almost all the candidates were still reviewing the questions and pondering their ideas, and no one had written yet.

"Master Zhou has been the chief examiner for many times. According to him, what is the qualifications of this class of officials?" Xia Jing looked in the direction of the examinee, talking about ordinary topics.

To talk about the scene, Zhou Yi opened his mouth and said, "Jiangnan has outstanding people, and it has always been a place where talents are born. Your Majesty chose to open Enke here, naturally with this consideration."

Xia Jing narrowed his eyes slightly: "Then, following Master Zhou's auspicious words, it is the first time for Jing to be the chief examiner, and I also hope that there will be a few more talents. This teacher will have a good time doing it."

Candidates for each high school in the imperial examination must call the chief examiner a teacher. This is the practice in the imperial examination. Zhou Yi has been the chief examiner many times, and it can be said that his students are all over the government and the public.

In the imperial examination that Xia Jing participated in, Zhou Yi was also the chief examiner, so it stands to reason that this "teacher" cannot escape.In fact, Xia Jing was just in high school, and when he was a scholar in the Imperial Academy, he was indeed Zhou Yi's favorite student.

At that time, ten years had passed since the two met for the first time, and Xia Jing had also grown from a boy to a young man, but Zhou Yi recognized him at a glance because of his outstanding appearance.

In order to avoid suspicion during the exam, they didn't recognize each other. After Xia Jing passed the exam and entered the Hanlin Academy, Zhou Yi asked him to talk.

Because of the relationship back then, and knowing that Xia Jing was alone in Beijing, Zhou Yi took special care of Xia Jing, and often invited him to eat at home.

At that time, Zhou Yi's late wife had passed away for several years, and Ah Yao was still a little girl less than ten years old. She especially liked Xia Jing, a good-looking big brother, and looked forward to him coming to play every day. .

Xia Jing reciprocated, and naturally respected and admired Zhou Yi, and also loved Ah Yao, as if treating her like a little girl.

Once in Xiumu, Xia Jing took Ah Yao to a temple fair, and met a bully who had no eyesight and molested him. The two suffered a little loss under the hands of the bully's servant, but at least they were under the feet of the emperor, and they survived in the end.

Ah Yao also knew that Xia Jing was good to her at a young age, and when she returned home, she begged Zhou Yi to learn martial arts, and even said that she would protect her elder brother in the future. Zhou Yi laughed, and after asking Zhou Song and his wife for their opinions, she really did it for her. She found a guard with good skills to be her master.

It's just that she hasn't mastered kung fu yet. A few months later, Xia Jing got on the same line as Jinshang, soared all the way, and gradually became estranged from Zhou Yi, so that tit-for-tat and master-student became enemies.

Since then, Xia Jing has never called Zhou Yi "teacher" again. He usually addresses him as "Master Zhou" when he is more polite, but when he becomes more temperamental, he directly calls him "Zhou Yi", "Zhou Zhongchang", or even "Old Zhou". "Everyone" is also available.

It was Ah Yao, who was still young. At first, he was still thinking about why his big brother didn’t come to play at home. Later, he gradually learned about the evil things Xia Jing did. When I see him occasionally, I no longer call him "big brother", but instead calls him "big villain", which seems to be overkill.

Enke Nine Days is a heavy burden on the examinee's body. Although the examiner is working hard, he has no worries about food and clothing. When he is tired, he can take turns to rest on the couch, which is much more comfortable than the examinee.

After so many days, several examiners, including Zhou Yi, are in good condition. Only Xia Jing, for some reason, is getting worse day by day after being locked up in the Gongyuan. The only couch in the house was occupied by him half the time.

But once Enke started the exam, the Tribute Court would prohibit him from entering or leaving, even if he was the chief examiner.

By the ninth day, the whole person looked very tired, and he was not much worse than those candidates who concentrated on answering the ninth day. Those who didn't know thought that he was also one of the candidates.

When eating breakfast in the morning, he vomited it all up after taking a few mouthfuls, and then he simply stopped eating. He just went back to the bed with a pale face and crooked crookedly, scaring the examiners who had the meal together. jumped.

The other examiners present were all subordinates, and no one dared to offend Xia Jing. Zhou Yi could only care about him with the mentality of a colleague and an elder. When she walked into the room, she saw him curled up on the couch clutching his stomach, gone. The aggressive aura of the past is very pitiful.

Zhou Yi sighed softly, squatted down, probed his forehead with the back of her hand, and compared it with the temperature of her own forehead, it was really hot.

At this time, Xia Jing noticed the movement around him, opened his eyes, saw that it was Zhou Yi, and inexplicably felt a sense of grievance in his heart. He reluctantly pulled the corners of his lips, his voice was a little hoarse, and said in a low voice: "Xia is now You fell down in the examination room, now you are happy!"

Zhou Yi sighed again, knowing that he was unwell, so she didn't bother with him, but said in a deep voice, "How can people be so brave when they're like this, you have a fever," hesitating for a moment, looking down, and then asked, "But Stomach is also uncomfortable?"

Xia Jing was silent for a while, then nodded, and said "um", with a strong nasal voice.

"Perhaps it's because I've eaten badly in the past few days." Zhou Yi thought that he has never tires of food in recent years, and he will become more and more delicate, and there are some who are not used to the food in the Gongyuan.

Thinking of this, he softly said "I'm offended", and then poked his palm towards his belly.
