Before the fifteenth, Xie Ze was always very busy. After the fifteenth, the matter of using troops to the south seemed to be gone, but Xie Ze became even busier.

An Xiaochen and An Xiaowen set off on the fourth day of the first lunar month to rush to Huo Shuai's army.

On the 16th day, Zhou E accompanied An Xiaoming and his three brothers to the Beijing Camp. Wang Cui and Shen Mai reported to Li Ran and followed him.

Zhou E went there for more than a month before returning to the Rong'an Palace.

The next morning, Li Ran was busy in the medieval hall for more than an hour and returned to the main courtyard. Zhou E, Wang Cui and Chen Mai were sitting in the tea room where the fallen seat at the entrance of the courtyard, and were waiting for Li Ran as he spoke.

The three of them followed Li Ran into the upper room. Li Ran signaled the three of them to sit down, looked at Zhou E and asked with a smile: "All of them are okay?"

“It’s very good!”

Zhou E happily patted the armrests of the chair.

"The three centurions were all placed under Lao Zhang's hands. This is the prince's order.

Lao Zhang followed me since he joined the army and ate food. He had no other strengths. He had nothing to say about honesty and reliable.

I asked the prince to tell me that I had told Lao Zhang clearly, and I was so happy that Lao Zhang was so happy!”

Zhou E smiled.

"I'm so happy that I'm stupid. I have to give me a son. He really...hehe, don't worry anyway."

"Why didn't you two stay there?" Li Ran asked as she looked at Wang Cui and Shen Mai.

"Amai and I are the princess' maids, so we naturally have to follow the princess to serve."

Wang Cui bowed and answered.

"Sister Cui and I have been away from the ranks for decades. This trip is just to go and take a look.

Just look at it. It has been abandoned for decades. Besides, I was chosen by Sister Cui and I to Mrs. An because we were both good at serving people. If we were to fight, we were just mediocre."

Chen Mai bowed and added

When Li Ran heard her say that because they could serve others, she wanted to laugh and slim down.

She really didn't realize that they were good at serving people. Compared with Zhou E, they probably had a better temper.

"The results will be released today. Will you go and see?" Zhou E asked looking at Li Ran.

"Didn't it mean that the whole city was cheering when the results were released, it was so lively that I didn't hear any movement?" Li Ran was a little weird.

"What you are talking about is the palace examination report, and the sound of gongs and drums that are reported by the good news all over the capital.

The test is not as lively as this.

I wanted to see if the Shanxi scholar who spent 10,000 yuan in money passed the exam. Tao Nong insisted on saying how talented he was, saying that I couldn’t read a few words and didn’t know how to learn, haha!”

Zhou E said with contempt.

"That's what she said, as if she could read more than me! I have to go and see!"

Li Ran was a little hesitant.

Since she got married, to be precise, since she got married, she has never been able to go out as she did before, and go wherever she wanted.

She is going out now.

"There are also some outside Donghua Gate. You can see it on the second floor of Gaojia Teahouse. There are not many people watching the list of the test. I can't book a seat in the teahouse. Do you want to go?"

Zhou E understood Li Ran’s hesitation very well and hurriedly suggested.

"Okay." Li Ran agreed and looked at Wang Cui and Shen Mai.

Wang Cui and Shen Mai understood what she meant by this look, and hurriedly shook their heads and said, "I haven't been in the mansion for more than a month. The garden behind it has started construction, and there are several construction sites on the East Line and several construction sites. Amai and I have to look around. Last night, Madam Huang told a lot of things."

Li Ran responded with a smile, wore an inconspicuous plain silk silver fox cloak, came out with Zhou E, got in the car, and went to the Gao Family Teahouse outside Donghuamen.

The Gao Family Teahouse is still much more lively than usual. Many scholars gathered in the teahouse, but it soon dispersed. They lost the title and were dull. They looked for a place to drink and relieve their boredom in groups. The top ones on the list suppressed their excitement and did not dare to delay any more. They hurried back to prepare for the palace examination in a few days.

There are people coming and going in the teahouse, and it is flowing and lively.

Li Ran wore a hat and went up the second floor with Zhou E. She chose a good-looking private room and ordered tea and snacks. Li Ran opened the window and looked into the direction of Donghua Gate.

I had already jogged with the old woman who went out to Donghuamen to copy the list.

Not long after, the old lady came back and gave Li Ran the copied name.

Li Ran spread the list flat on the table, Zhou E stretched her neck and looked at it carefully one by one.

"Sure enough, all of these masters have won."

Zhou E's fingers were from Wang Hang, the third master of the Wang family, to Li Qingning, who was very behind.

Li Ran followed Zhou E's finger and looked at several names.

Wang Hang ranked third, Cao Ming ranked more than a dozen, Huo Wencan was in the back section, and Li Qingning was tied in the last three or two lines.

According to the ranking order of four people, it really comes from the knowledge.

"Are these children of the Xie family?" Zhou E pointed to the four or five Xie surnames that scattered from the first few lines to the last few lines.

"This is not." Li Ran pointed to the middle surname Xie, "The rest are all."

Li Ran picked up the surname Xie and looked at it, and Xie Ai was in the middle.

"What about Tao Nong? What's the name?"

Seeing that Zhou E never mentioned the Shanxi scholar who was sponsored by Taonong, Li Ran couldn't help but ask.

"This." Zhou E reluctantly pointed a name with her finger.

"Qiao Mingshu." Li Ran glanced in front of Qiao Mingshu, "Twenty, very talented people, Tao Dan has a good vision."

Zhou E snorted and changed the topic: "The second master of the Cao family failed the exam."

Li Ran said no, "There are too many powerful children in the capital. It seems that there are many people recorded."

"It seems that the last 380 years of the year is only in the past two hundred years. However, I heard that there are many more people who come to take the spring exam this year than the previous year. I heard that the Gongyuan has newly built a few pigeon cages to be enough."

While talking, Zhou E held a plate and covered it with the name of Qiao Mingshu.

"Did you bet with Tao Nong?" Li Ran looked at the plate pressing against Qiao Mingshu, raised her eyebrows and asked.

Zhou E nodded slightly.

Li Ran laughed and was about to ask her how many bets she had made, Tao Nong's voice came from outside the court: "Is it General Zhou inside?"

Zhou E shouted, and Li Ran laughed while signaling the woman standing at the door.

The woman raised the curtain, Tao Nong entered the house, and saw Li Ran, and gave a smile.

"I haven't seen the princess for a long time. The princess looks so beautiful. General Zhou is so happy. I can rest for another month or two after entrusting General Zhou's blessing."

Zhou E snorted.

Li Ran smiled and returned the greeting, "General Zhou said you are very busy."

"At the next year, I went to Yangzhou. There was a sister who married in Yangzhou and was so happy that I went to see her.

Yangzhou is really well-known. I was seven or eight years old, maybe six or seven years old, and I spent half a year in Yangzhou. Now Yangzhou is much more lively than that time.”

Tao Nong looks in a great mood.

"Stay for a month or two?"

Zhou E held her arms in front of her chest and glanced at Tao Nong. She was in a bad mood.

"The palace examination will be held in a few days, and the next day the ranking will be released. If you don't have to spend money, is it money? The little money you won from me is not enough for you to spread it all over, right? How much is it to borrow? Five thousand or ten thousand?"

"Look at what you said."

Tao Nong glanced back.

"Since I saw this person on the list, this person has no connection with me for half a penny.

From now on, even if they are serious Jinshi, they will have a bright future in the future. What is it to be like a notorious lower-ranking rank like me?

You must have self-knowledge."

The peach's deep voice is still happy.

"Then you can rest for another month or two."
