This time, the prefect Zhou was fifty or sixty years old, with a flushed face and a little fat. He looked at Yang Qiuchi carefully and stepped forward: "You are the Young Master Yang who solved the murder of Wang Tongzhi yesterday afternoon? He is such a heroic young man! I admire you! This time my mansion is here to thank Mr. Yang for visiting him." He turned to Niu Baihu and said, "If Mr. Yang hadn't helped me solve this case, I wouldn't know what to do." After that, both Niu Baihu and Niu Baihu laughed together.

The gratitude from the bottom of his heart. Yesterday, when the prefect Zhou went out for something, he suddenly received an urgent report of Wang Tongzhi's murder. He was anxious and rushed back overnight. You must know that the fifth-ranked Tongzhi of the court was killed in the prefect's office in the blue sky and white sun. As the highest administrative chief of Ningguo Mansion, he was to blame. If this case cannot be solved, it would be even more miserable. He, the prefect of Ningguo Mansion, may have been over.

The prefect Zhou rushed back to Ningguo Mansion late at night and learned that a friend of Niu Baihu had helped him solve the major case, and it was solved less than an hour after the incident. He also learned that the murderer he caught turned out to be Wang Tongzhi's younger brother, and he breathed a sigh of relief. The prefect could not take care of the murder in this family, so he had no responsibility. So, he visited the door early this morning and came to thank him.

Magistrate Song stepped forward to see that the two were superiors and subordinates, and they were old acquaintances. Magistrate Song was originally worried that Magistrate Zhou had blamed Long Zixu for his wrong judgment on the case of murdering his wife, but it seemed that Magistrate Zhou was kind and didn't seem to be holding him accountable, so he felt a little relieved.

After the guest and the host and the guest were seated, the prefect Zhou kept praising Yang Qiuchi for his promising young man and his future was limitless. Niu Baihu and Song County agreed, and the meeting became a commendation meeting for Yang Qiuchi.

Speaking of the prospects that were limitless, Master Zhou asked: "I wonder if Mr. Yang is now able to be famous?"

Yang Qiuchi smiled and said, "I can't even write well, and I haven't read the Four Books and Five Classics well. How can I have the ability to take the imperial examination? So, for me, this fame is as beautiful as the bright moon in the sky but out of reach."

Seeing that Yang Qiuchi was not polite, the prefect Zhou advised: "Young Master Yang, if we want to be an official in the Ming Dynasty, it is probably not possible to not pass the imperial examination. The young master is still young, and as long as he is willing to study, it is still time."

Seeing that except Niu Baihu, there were only the magistrate Song and Yang Qiuchidi, the subordinate of Yang Qiuchidi, in the living room. It seemed that they were not outsiders, so he leaned over to Yang Qiuchi and said to Yang Qiuchi in a low voice and meaningful manner, "If the young master participates in the imperial examination one day, our government is willing to sponsor you. This county examination, the young master does not have to worry about it, even if it is the college examination. Our government is the same year as the prefect of Yingtian Prefecture, and there is no problem."

Yang Qiuchi didn't react to what Zhou Taifu said. But the magistrate Song was really surprised and happy, and repeatedly winked at Yang Qiuchi. He asked him to kneel down and thank the prefect for his promotion. But Yang Qiuchi looked at him foolishly, and saw that he kept blinking to the ground as he kept blinking his eyes, but he couldn't understand his meaning.

During the Ming and Qing dynasties, before taking the formal scientific examination, candidates must first take the "child exam" and become "scholars" (students) after passing, so that they are eligible to formally take the imperial examination. The children's examination is divided into three levels of county, government, and college. The county examination is held in each county and presided over by the magistrate. The government examination is chaired by the government officials, and the college examination is chaired by the provincial academic administration or learning Taoism.

With the support of the magistrate Song, Yang Qiuchi's county examination is definitely fine. What Zhou Gongfu said just now, on the one hand, it implies that Yang Qiuchi, the government examination he presided over, was definitely fine. On the other hand, it also implies that he would also help the hospital examination organized by the province, and it was not a big problem. In this way, Yang Qiuchi was fine in this third-level examination for the children's examination. Zhou Gongfu helped quite a lot. No wonder Song County was so happy for Yang Qiuchi.

However, Yang Qiuchi felt a headache when he thought of ancient Chinese, let alone the Four Books and Five Classics. When he was in middle school, his liberal arts scores such as Chinese and history have never been very good, especially in the ancient Chinese, which is even more difficult than abcd. Now if he wants to take the imperial examination, he might as well strangle him to death or not.

Yang Qiuchi bowed to the prefect Zhou: "Thank you for your kindness, Lord Zhou, but I am very interested in the imperial examinations, and I am afraid I will let down the prefect's kindness."

The prefect Zhou was slightly disappointed and waved his hand: "It's okay, everyone has their own ambitions."

County Magistrate Song was so angry that he really wanted to step forward and slap Yang Qiuchi in the head. You know, if a scholar had the help of the prefect, it would be worthy of how many years he worked hard, and it would be wasted so easily.

Long Zixu was also a pity for Yang Qiuchi. He was a scholar and knew the difficulties of the child examination. He had endured many years to achieve this place of fame, but he was just a follower, so there was no place for him to speak.

The reason why Magistrate Zhou promised to help Yang Qiuchi participate in the imperial examination was not just because of gratitude for Yang Qiuchi to help him solve the case, nor was it a whim. He has been struggling in the officialdom for so many years and is very familiar with this arrangement. Last night, he returned to the yamen and other subordinate officials. After hearing about the case solving, he heard that the young man in the place where the case was solved was moved into the Jinyiwei Baihu. Niu Baihu flattered him and guessed that this young man was not simple.

Just now, Niu Baihu was very awe of the young man, and Master Zhou was even more convinced of his judgment. This mysterious young man must be of great origin. Master Zhou now offered to help, just to make Yang Qiuchi realize that he really wanted to help him, so that he would be grateful. This is the most clever flattery. When he knows his identity, he will say this, it will be useless. Do the big guys still need you to help?

The magistrate Zhou pretended not to guess Yang Qiuchi's background at all, and kept praising Yang Qiuchi, a genius who was never seen in the ages. He enthusiastically invited Yang Qiuchi and others to stay for one more day. He wanted to hold a banquet to thank Yang Qiuchi. However, Yang Qiuchi had to agree.

The prefect Zhou was overjoyed and welcomed Yang Qiuchi and others to the prefect's office. This was a private banquet, and of course the two sisters of Song Yuner could also attend. Without these two beauties, Yang Qiuchi would not be able to drink enough.

The prefect Zhou led Yang Qiuchi and others to the back garden of the inner yamen to have tea, and then arranged for the squad leader to post a post to invite the chiefs of the Ningguo Mansion and famous gentry to attend the private banquet.

The banquet was arranged in the evening. It was still early. After the prefect Zhou Dynasty settled Yang Qiuchi and others, he said goodbye and left to arrange the banquet and handle some official duties. Yang Qiuchi and others drank tea and enjoyed flowers next to the garden by the lake. The lake water in this bay was not big. Some duckweed was planted, and it had already begun to wither in the coolness of early winter.

Song Qing came to Yang Qiuchi to sit down, but she wanted to say something. Yang Qiuchi knew she had something to say. She stood up and pretended to go to the flowers and plants in the distance to admire the flowers and plants. After a while, Song Qing followed her quietly and said, "Brother Qiuchi, there is something I want to tell you, but I'm afraid of you..." Her big eyes flashed to observe Yang Qiuchi's expression.

Yang Qiuchi immediately realized that it might be related to her future in-laws' family, but if they had married this family before they knew him, how could they blame others? Besides, a girl took the initiative to kiss him yesterday afternoon, and she did this. What else can she expect? Yang Qiuchi looked at Song Qing and smiled, without saying anything, waiting for her to speak.

Seeing that no one around paid attention to them, Song Qing took a small step forward and almost touched Yang Qiuchi: "Brother, Master Zhou invited people today to the local people, including Hao Yuanwai and his... Young Master." After saying this, Song Qing stared at Yang Qiuchi's eyes, and her nervous expression was written on her face.

Yang Qiuchi has guessed this point. Mr. Hao's family is a big family in Ningguo Mansion and will definitely invite him to the ground. Yang Qiuchi used flowers as a cover and gently hugged Song Qingdi's slim waist: "I don't care about those, I just want to know if you want to be with me?"

Song Qing blushed: "Brother Qiuchi, until now, don't you know my heart?"

"That's fine." As long as she hasn't married yet, she will have the opportunity to compete fairly. Besides, Song Qing likes herself. Hao Yifeng is just a product of the arranged marriage. Yang Qiuchi has the determination to challenge this product and has the ability to challenge it. Doesn't the Hao family have a few money? What she has has is power, and she will take action first and then report to the special power of the land. If it really doesn't work, she will just pretend to be public and private, and she will not believe it.

Of course, Song Qing didn't know what Yang Qiuchi was thinking. Seeing that Yang Qiuchi was not angry, she breathed a sigh of relief. Just as she was about to leave, Yang Qiuchi was tightly placed on her waist.

Song Qing found that Magistrate Song and the others were looking here, and her face turned red: "Brother, if the girl Yun'er saw it, she would be sad."

Yang Qiuchi felt a stern and quickly let go of his hand. Song Qing took a small step back, opened the distance slightly, and watched Yang Qiuchi giggle.

Song Yun'er was the first girl Yang Qiuchi met after traveling through time to resurrecting the soul of the Ming Dynasty, but her first impression was very bad. Song Yun'er not only robbed her own land money, but also abused puppies and acted as a high-ranking official (actually not a high-ranking official), and she was arrogant. But after the two got along for a long time, Yang Qiuchi found that Song Yun'er still had many advantages. Later, when the battle between Yunya Mountain and Song Yun'er threw herself into her arms and cried, Yang Qiuchi felt that Song Yun'er was attached to her, but he didn't believe that it was love. She was only fifteen years old. In modern society, she was still a third-year junior high school student and could not fall in love.

Before Song Qing, Yang Qiuchi had not really fallen in love. Although Feng Xiaoxue was Yang Qiuchi's first woman, kind and virtuous, Yang Qiuchi got married and then fell in love with her. Before she could taste the green olive flavor of her first love, she went to bed first. So although Yang Qiuchi loved her very much, she even turned against her and Mr. Bai Qian, to be honest, Yang Qiuchi treated Feng Xiaoxue more with kindness and responsibility.

Qin Zhihui was Yang Qiuchi's first concubine, but this concubine was the official order of her parents. As for the words of Mei Fu, she got married as soon as she met and went to bed as soon as she got married. She did not really fall in love, so she went to the closest step of the relationship between men and women. Although the relationship between the two later became increasingly deepened after the murder storm, at this moment, Qin Zhihui was kidnapped by the mysterious martial arts female senior.

What really made Yang Qiuchi feel love is Song Qing, who is like a doll, which can be said to be a bit in love at first sight. However, when Yang Qiuchi was about to attack, the people turned around and chased him, which made Yang Qiuchi feel even more touched. It was Song Qing that for the first time that Yang Qiuchi felt the inevitable jealous feeling of men and women's love, and for the first time he truly tasted the taste of love.

Song Qing said just now that Song Yuner would be sad when she saw them intimate. Although Yang Qiuchi didn't believe it, she was still worried that Song Yuner would be injured. She quickly let go and looked at Song Yuner from a distance. Seeing that she was joking with County Magistrate Song and others, she didn't pay attention to her side, she felt relieved. She secretly sighed that Song Qing's clay doll was so powerful that she hit her own fatal hole with one finger. Girls have always been very sensitive to such things. Fortunately, Song Yuner didn't care.

——————————————

Yang Qiuchi guessed wrongly, and Song Yuner actually cared very much. Although she was laughing at the moment, her heart was like a knife cut.

Since her cousin Song Qing came to Guangde County, she has been sticking to Yang Qiuchi. Song Yuner compared herself to Song Qing. In terms of appearance, although both of them are beautiful, Song Qing is very sweet, especially the small dimples and neat rows of small beetles. Not to mention men, even a girl like her is very fond of her. In terms of personality, although both of them are as lively and cheerful as a tomboy personality, Song Qing's cheerfulness is full of the taste of a woman. Besides, Song Qing is very obedient to Yang Qiuchi. Which man doesn't like girls who rely on others? But she likes to pick on tricks when she has nothing to do.

Yesterday afternoon, when Yang Qiuchi and Song Qing were talking alone behind, Song Yuner had a premonition that something would happen. Although she pretended not to care, she kept secretly observing them with her eyes. Sure enough, she saw Song Qing's quick kiss on Yang Qiuchi's mouth.

Song Yuner thought that she had always regarded Yang Qiuchi as her own brother, but the kiss she saw secretly made Song Yuner not sleep well all night. She should have been happy for her brother, but she felt so much pain in her heart. At this time, she realized that her feelings for Yang Qiuchi had exceeded the scope of brother-sister relationship at some point.

She only now knew that the previous time Yang Qiuchi took a concubine, she used the excuse of taking care of Bai Sumei and did not attend Yang Qiuchi's wedding. She was actually escaping - she didn't want to see Yang Qiuchi marry a woman because deep down, she subconsciously wanted to monopolize Yang Qiuchi, but she didn't know it at that time.

Just now, sisters Song Qing and Yang Qiuchi hugged each other among the flowers. Song Yuner tried not to care, and tried to talk to her father and the others, trying to distract herself, but she failed. When she felt that her tears were about to come out, Song Yuner ran to the pavilion by the lake on the excuse, sat there alone, crying silently.
