Five days before the exam, it was rumored that someone bribed the chief examiner to pass the exam, and all the candidates in Qingzhou City were excited.Just like when I took the child's birth test in Linchuan, even the rural test can be bought with money.

Among them, the most excited one is none other than Yunsun. She has already prepared money for this moment.

This time it was much more difficult to bribe than last time. First, bribe the middleman, then bribe the chief examiner, and finally pay the deposit. There are three procedures.Mrs. Yunsun counted her silver, probably not enough, just in case she hurried to the pawn shop to pawn the big gold hairpin on her head, and took more than 60 taels of silver to buy it.

Yunsun's move is so big, it's hard for Yun Yun not to know, these two people buy everything, why don't they just raise money to buy an official.Now he knows who Yunwu learned how to behave, he was just like his mother.

When the day of the exam came, Cheng Mu sent Yun Yun to the entrance of the exam room.A dense group of people surrounded the door tightly, and after the guards at the door let people go, all the scholars went in.

"I'll wait for you at the door, don't worry go in and take the exam," Cheng Mu said.

Yun Yun made up her mind, clenched her fists and walked in, gradually being buried in the crowd.

There were people outside the test site, all of whom were sending their children here. It was very sunny outside, and everyone was sitting under a tree.Several gray-haired old men watched the gate anxiously, sighing all the time.

"Young man, I don't know when this test will be the top."

"It's only a few days."

"It's really as simple as that. My son is already 27 this year. He failed the exam three times. How old is this? If he doesn't pass the exam this year, we won't be able to. When the cattle are sold, the land is also sold."

"Don't worry, you can pass the exam."

It was an extremely hot day, and I was sweating profusely under the shade of the tree. A seller of herbal tea passed by. Cheng Mu bought two bowls of herbal tea, drank one bowl himself, and handed the other bowl to the old man next to him.

When he went to return the bowl, he saw a poorly dressed man on the other side of the road, very similar to the man he met at the post station.He hurried to catch up, and the man saw someone chasing him, and quickly ran into the alley next to him.

One after the other, when Cheng Mu caught up with him, he was in a dead end.It was night at the post station, so I couldn't see clearly, but now in broad daylight, this person is only five points like Nan Rong Zeyu, maybe he is really suspicious.Even if he finds out now, he is not the person he was eight years ago.

Nan Rong Zeyu panted loudly, the stranger who had been chasing him looked him up and down after catching up, and left directly.As soon as Cheng Mu's figure disappeared, Nan Rong Zeyu collapsed on the ground.

After a long time, two people ran over from a distance, shouting for the master, and after finding Nan Rong Zeyu, they quickly helped him up.

Yijiu carried Nanrong Zeyu on his back and led him out of the alley, while Erjiu led them to the place where they stayed.After arriving at the inn, Nan Rong Zeyu breathed a sigh of relief.

"Did the people who chased us get rid of it?"

Yijiu replied, "If you get rid of it, the master can't always use himself to attract enemies. What if the queen finds out after returning to the capital?"

Nan Rong Zeyu sighed, "When we come out, there will be no one to take care of us for two years, so let's save our lives first."

"The emperor is really serious. He said he wanted you to go to the south of the Yangtze River for inspection, but he didn't let you bring guards, and he didn't let the local officials be alarmed. This is not an inspection, it's exile." Erjiu complained.

"Don't talk about it, walls have ears, and you can go back years ago. If the fourth prince's people come again, you must be careful. If you have to, run for yourselves."

"Master, we followed you all the way out of the capital, and we will go back with you."

[-] was the personal bodyguard left to him by Nanrong Zeyu's mother and concubine before her death. He has been with him for more than ten years, but now a prince is living worse than ordinary people.It's not to blame others, he doesn't have the ability to compete for favor in front of his father, so what's the use of learning how to govern the country?

"Pack up your things and go north after lunch, you can't stay here any longer." Nanrong Zeyu said, nodding in [-].

"Also, Chu Qianqiu is okay."

"Doctor Chu Fei Ge sent a letter saying that everything is fine there, and Sanjiu's medical skills are getting better and better with him, and he will be able to graduate next year." After Erjiu finished speaking, he went downstairs to check out, and Nanrong Zeyu sat up straight The body said, "I don't know how to box and kick. Thanks to you along the way. Erjiu is unsteady in doing things, but he is active. You know his way of doing things after getting along with him for a long time. Don't reveal your strength for now. If the fourth prince knows My layout in Jiangnan will target me even more, so let's pretend to be fleeing to make them relax their vigilance."

"The subordinate understands, so our people will stand still?"

"This is a fierce battle. It's not easy to say that we are going back to the capital. It is easy when we come out. If we want to go back, we are afraid that someone will not let us go back."

"Should I send someone to protect you secretly?"

"Yijiu, if God wants me to go back, he will bless me. It's like last time at the post station, someone came to help me when I was in a desperate situation."

In the examination room, the chief examiner sat on the top seat and looked at the examinees below. The incense next to her was about to burn out. Yun Yun put down her pen and blew on the handwriting on the rice paper. Whether she was in high school or not depends on this.

After the last stick of incense was burned and the papers were collected, Yun Yun exhaled and stood up and walked outside.When he reached the gate, he saw Cheng Mu waving to him from a distance.

"A Yun, here!"

Yun Yun happily ran over, took the initiative to take Cheng Mu's hand and walked out, "The books I read a few days ago were not in vain, and I used a few sentences in my essay today."

"A Yun can do well even if she doesn't watch it."

"It's much easier now. Qingzhou City is so big, I haven't looked at it carefully yet, we have time to look at it now."

Upstairs in the distance, a man dressed in simple to high-quality clothes saw two people walking hand in hand.

"What are you looking at, master?" Yijiu looked into the distance.

"I didn't see anything, let's go." Nanrong Zeyu saw Cheng Mupao today and thought he was going to arrest him, but finally found out that the other party didn't have that intention. After realizing that he just wanted to get to know him, he finally gave up for some reason .At any rate, he saved his life, so he can be regarded as a benefactor.

Qingzhou City was bustling after the rural examination, and people who had passed the examination were playing on the road, and Yun Yun looked east and west on the street.This provincial capital is different. People on the road wear silk clothes, and there are few linen clothes.After becoming a scholar, Cheng Mu specially took him to make a silk dress, and walking in the crowd today is not a violation of peace.But the linen clothes on Cheng Mu looked out of place.

"Cheng Mu, let's take a look at the cloth shop."

Of course Cheng Mu is willing to go. Scholars should really wear better clothes. When he enters the store, what he sees are all plain and elegant fabrics, the style Yun Yun likes.Yun Yun also looked to the side at the dark blue and black fabric, and asked if it looked good while looking at it.

"Ayun, don't you like this type the most? Why has it changed all of a sudden?"

"We finally came to Qingzhou City. If you go to the capital, you must dress better. I have already thought about it. I will go to find a job of copying scriptures in two days. I bought this clothes for you."

Xiao Er took down the fabric, Yun Yun directly took the purse from Cheng Mu and bought a piece of cloth, Xiao Er also sent someone to measure the size, and asked them to come and pick it up in five days.

"We will get better and better together." Yun Yun said with a smile on her face.

"Yes, I've gotten better and better since you came."
