Chen Muqing felt that something was wrong with this situation.

Some time ago, Liang Jimin called himself "sister", revealing the intention of returning to Diechuiyuan to live. Why did a top scholar fail the exam and his attitude towards her changed completely?

She was about to ask Zhu Ji to call Zhou Baimu to ask, but who knew that Zhou Baimu actually came to find Chen Muqing on his own initiative.

As soon as he saw Chen Muqing, he knelt in front of her: "Grandma San, you have to persuade Master San!"

Seeing his tone of sadness, Chen Muqing was shocked and hurriedly said, "What happened?"

Zhou Baimu whispered: "Grandma Santa, everyone outside has been rumoring that the Third Young Master can win Huiyuan, all because of the Master... When we arrived at the palace examination, which was entirely based on our real skills, the Third Young Master... and said that even the Third Young Master's master, Mr. Yuan, looked down on the Third Young Master, and ordered him to be Huiyuan, it was completely hindering the feelings..."

Chen Muqing's heart skipped a beat, and his face was as white as plain.

"Do you know how this is coming?"

She asked in a hurry, but felt that she was speechless.

If this is said, how can I find the source?

Who knew Zhou Baimu said, "I heard that it was the emperor, the emperor said it."

Chen Muqing was stunned: "Emperor? Did the Emperor say it? What did he say it? Where did he say it?"

Zhou Baimu said in a deep voice: "That day, the third young master was happy when he went to the Qionglin Banquet. He also said that after drinking this wine, he would study hard and prepare to take the Shujishi exam. Who knew that after coming out of the Qionglin Banquet, five or six other Jinshis pulled the young master and said he was not full, so he asked the young master, the Kyoto native, to take them to find a place to have a meal. At that time, the third young master's face was not good-looking, and he forced them to Yunjinglou. After drinking the third one The upper floor started to quarrel. I was afraid that the young master would suffer a loss, so I hurriedly ran up and heard a man with a Fujian accent say: The emperor also said that you and Min Zhuangyuan's words were as beautiful as they were. However, when Mr. Yuan commented on the papers of you and Min Zhuangyuan, he said that Min Zhuangyuan's words were solemn, while your words were solemn. In comparison, Mr. Min's strokes were more experienced... Everyone was there at that time. Could it be that I made up this?”

Chen Muqing was stunned and hurriedly said, "How did the Third Master answer?"

Zhou Baimu's eyes darkened and he said, "The Third Young Master said nothing at that time, and just drank a glass of wine."

Chen Muqing frowned.

"It's really a rainy night." Zhou Baimu smiled bitterly, "Who knew that Lin Bingcheng, who often accompanied the Third Young Master, actually led a group of Jinshi to drink next door..."

"Lin Bingcheng?" Chen Muqing pondered, "It was the old friend who was twenty years older than the third young master. I heard that he also participated in the imperial examination this year and passed the Jinshi with the third young master."

"Yeah!" Zhou Baimu nodded helplessly, "It was this person. The third young master was angry and buried his head in drinking. When those people saw it, they were a little embarrassed and wanted to say something. As a result, Lin Bingcheng's voice came from the elegant seat next door."

"What did Lin Bingcheng say?"

The blue veins on Zhou Baimu's forehead were stormed: "Lin Bingcheng said that the third young master used to write a good-looking body style. Who knew that this palace examination actually rewritten the small regular script of Mrs. Wei's hairpin... I wrote it, but it turned out that it was not as authentic as Min Zhuangyuan's writing, and it was just ridiculous."

Chen Muqing's face suddenly turned pale.

From this point of view, my guess is completely correct.

In order to make Liang Jimin more confident in the imperial examination, Chen Zhen asked Liang Jimin to temporarily follow the Wei family's small calligraphy, which was the favorite of Emperor Mo.

That's why the lady of the Tai Ma asked Liang Jimin to go to Conglutang...

So since getting married, Liang Jimin has been practicing calligraphy uninterruptedly every day...

She couldn't help but sigh deeply.

Desire is really a double-edged sword!

Zhou Baimu heard Chen Muqing's sigh and hurriedly stopped the topic.

"What?" Chen Muqing's voice seemed a little dull, making people feel uncomfortable and depressed.

"Then, then the Third Young Master was completely stunned. The people on the table here also began to exchange eyes with each other," Zhou Baimu said in a panic, "There was someone next door asking Lin Bingcheng if he was jealous of the Third Young Master and the Young Master. Then Lin Bingcheng said: I am jealous of Liang Jimin... well... it is the Third Young Master... the Third Young Master..."

Chen Muqing looked at Zhou Baimu with sharp eyes: "What did I do when I send someone to the young master?"

When Zhou Baimu heard this, a fine sweat immediately appeared on his forehead. He knelt in front of Chen Muqing and said hurriedly: "Lin Bingcheng said: I am only jealous of Liang Jimin having a good father-in-law..." As he said that, he secretly raised his eyes and peeked at Chen Muqing's expression.

Chen Muqing sighed in his heart. Seeing Zhou Baimu's expression of horror and his face slightly cleared, he said, "Apart from that, what else did Lin Bingcheng say?"

Zhou Baimu lowered his head: "Then Lin Bingcheng said, if everyone doesn't believe it, just wait and see. The third young master can always win Shujishi smoothly..."

*******

Just as Shen Muqing was addicted to the contents of Zhou Baimu's words, Li's mother suddenly came to find her in a daze.

"Grandma San Shao, is the fifth girl from the Feng family you asked me to pay attention to here?"

Chen Muqing was stunned and hurriedly whispered: "You can explain it clearly."

When Li's mother heard Chen Muqing's voice low, her voice lowered: "Three Young Master, this is the case. Today I went to find the mother Liu who was watching the night in the Taima's house for a drink. As a result, she said that the fifth girl from the Feng family was here and was talking to the Taima, afraid that she would send the fifth girl back later and dared not have a drink with me. I asked Yuegui to go and find Xiangyu, who had no hair left in the Taima's house for fun, and you will know what she said later!"

Chen Muqing nodded with satisfaction, turned around and opened a black painted carved box on the kang a few times, took about two taels of silver and handed it to Li’s mother: “Mom, go buy some snacks!”

Mother Li took the money and left happily.

Chen Muqing asked Mingxia to change clothes and comb her hair: "I'm going to go to the Taima's place later."

Mingxia hurriedly called the little maid to fetch water and cleanse Chen Mu's face again.

Just as she was combed, Laurel was back.

Chen Muqing sent the maid beside him and said, "What did the fifth lady say to the Grandmaster?"

Yue Gui whispered, "It was said that my wife asked her to bring tonic some time ago, and she came here to thank her for her."

"So, have you gone to the wife?" Chen Muqing was slightly stunned.

Yuegui nodded and hesitated: "In just a quarter of an hour she went to Gui'aitang, the lady sent everyone in the house..."

"Do you know what you said?" Chen Muqing said in surprise.

Yue Gui said carefully: "At the beginning, the fifth girl asked about the young master's imperial examination. The lady said that the third young master had a lot of social engagements during this period. The fifth girl said that it was because the third young master was unhappy. After hearing this, the lady sent out all the people who served around her."

In other words, the key lies in Feng Wanqing's words.

"I'm afraid that the third young lady will be anxious, so I came back to report the news first." Yue Gui smiled with a Shen Muqing expression, "But I left Liuchun there - She and Xianglian, who served by her wife, were getting along very well, and there will be news back later."

Chen Muqing nodded, called Mingxia again to come in and wash herself, then changed into a pink silk jacket with flower phoenix threads and a white silk thread-picking skirt. After pondering for a while, he went to Feng's place.

Seeing Chen Muqing coming, the maids and wives standing under the eaves salute Chen Muqing one after another, and Dong's mother even came out to lift the curtain for Chen Muqing.

Chen Muqing stopped under the curtain.

She saw a little girl wearing a stone blue color, fifteen or sixteen years old, with a very beautiful look.

When Dong's mother saw Chen Muqing tilting her face, she looked over with her eyes.

"Grandma San," she smiled, "that's the Wujin girl next to the fifth girl of Feng's mansion."

"Oh!" Chen Muqing smiled slightly, "It's so beautiful!"

"No, speaking of it, the two sisters around Miss Five look first-class." Mother Dong explained, and pointed at Wu Jin's mouth and signaled her to come over to pay tribute to Chen Muqing.

When Shen Muqing looked at her, Wu Jin secretly turned his body, with ankle facing Chen Muqing, pretending to be unable to see her. But under the eaves there were smart little maids, and someone pulled Wu Jin's sleeves: "Sister, sister, Mother Dong asked you to go over and salute grandma the third young master."

Now, Wu Jin didn't dare to pretend that he didn't see it anymore.

She walked towards Chen Muqing with a smile, but Chen Muqing lowered her head and entered the house.

Wu Jin was stunned there.

There was a little maid beside her for her: "Our third young lady is the most generous. If my sister kowtows in front of her, she will not be able to escape the reward of five taels of silver."

Wu Jin was stunned: "This, so many..."

*******

Chen Muqing entered the house and saw Feng leaning on the big kang next to the window. A sixteen-seven-year-old girl stood by the kang. She shrank her black hair casually, and a burnt blue butterfly hairpin on the temples. She wore a moon-white silk jacket on the upper body and a two-color golden blue flash red flower skirt on the lower body. She was tall, fair skin and beautiful facial features, and she was actually 70% or 80% similar to Feng. She stood there quietly, feeling a sense of quietness and elegance. Like Feng, her expression was a bit solemn, so that there was a depressing atmosphere in the room.

This girl should be Feng Wanqing!

It’s better to meet than to be famous. It’s true that he is a beauty with outstanding temperament.

It seems that the atmosphere in the room has a lot to do with the conversation between the two. It would be great if I could know what they said.

Chen Muqing thought, bent his knees and asked Feng for peace.

Feng's expression was a little unhappy. She pointed to the girl next to her and said, "This is your grandfather's fifth cousin. I was sick some time ago. Now I'm cured. I came here to pay my respects!" As she said, she said to the girl again, "This is your third cousin's wife."

Feng Wanqing showed a dignified and beautiful smile, and Yingying bent her knees and saluted Chen Muqing: "Three cousin's wife!"

Chen Muqing returned the gift and shouted "Five Cousin" with a smile.

When Feng saw the two of them, he asked Chen Muqing: "What's wrong with you here?" His voice was a little cold.
