Chapter 104 Beads
When Jiang Baoyu mentioned Yu Menglong, Qin Zilan also had a smile on his face.

"He, I saw you in front of Cui's house before, and I have a way to go, and he is not far behind. It just so happens that the emperor has issued an edict, and the martial arts exam will start next month. He signed up early, and now he is pestering Mr. Yu’s subordinates joined the army to teach him martial arts.”

Jiang Baoyu chuckled, shook his head and said: "There really is him, the emperor initiates martial arts, and soldiers are duty-bound, so he doesn't waste it."

"Baoyu!"

Men and women are different, and court ladies and candidates are of course no exception.

Zhu Dianzhang naturally understood this truth, and now he was only urging the little maid to go to the examination room, but there were so many people, she didn't notice Jiang Baoyu for a while.

Seeing that everyone was leaving, Xu Qingmeng was worried that Jiang Baoyu would be alone, so he called her.

Jiang Baoyu said goodbye to Qin Zilan.

"I have to go. I wish you the title on the gold list, and your wish will come true." After speaking, he gave him a bow.

Although Qin Zilan didn't understand why Jiang Baoyu was so polite every time he saw him, he was not as close as Cui Baoyu and Yu Menglong, but he was quite used to it, so he also saluted Jiang Baoyu, smiled at her, and turned to go to the exam .

Jiang Baoyu also turned around, and it happened that the line of young maids had reached the end of the line of examinees, so she continued to walk along the line without even looking at Shui Hanzhou.

But Shui Hanzhou kept looking at her.

Seeing that she was about to leave now, and had no intention of talking to him, it was inevitable that she felt a little disappointed.

It's really not as good as childhood sweethearts to meet each other by chance. It's because of his simplicity that he has the idea that he can overcome time with his heart.

So he also straightened up, and said to An Zhu behind him with a cold face: "Let's go too."

An Zhu couldn't help shivering, he had followed Shui Hanzhou for many years, even though Shui Hanzhou's speech was always quiet, he could still feel Shui Hanzhou's emotions through the subtle changes in his tone.

The water is cold and the boat is in a bad mood right now.

So not only did he not follow, but he even took a step back, and decided not to join Shui Hanzhou before he entered the Luocheng Palace.

Just as the master and servant took a step, Shui Hanzhou's fingertips suddenly felt a cold and warm touch, and within a breath, Jiang Baoyu brushed past him.

Shui Hanzhou looked back, but the little girl didn't look back, she even trotted a few steps to catch up with her companion, and the two walked away talking and laughing together.

But there was an extra glass bead the size of half an egg in his hand, and some mud still stuck to the bead, which looked like it was picked out of something.

Shui Hanzhou didn't look at it for a while, then raised the corners of his lips slightly, in a good mood, immediately called Anzhu and said, "Find a piece of black cloth to wrap it up, and put it away for my son."

The people in Anzhu were dumbfounded. Shui Hanzhou's tone of voice was obviously so happy that he was about to fly.

And all of a sudden, what kind of beads came out of nowhere?

An Zhu took advantage of the opportunity to look at the beads in Shui Hanzhou's hand, and found that they were soiled. At first glance, it was quite different from Shui Hanzhou's taste, but somewhat similar to Shui Lige's preferences.

But even Shui Lige would not be able to give such a humble gift in front of his elder son.

So he tried hard to recall the scene just now, and quickly made a judgment.

This thing must have been given to Shui Hanzhou by Jiang Baoyu.

"It's just such a broken bead, the prince won't be angry with her? Are you too easy to coax?"

An Zhu didn't pay attention, and actually spoke out what was in his heart, and sure enough, he still didn't escape Shui Hanzhou's eyes.

Fortunately, the eldest son of his family is in a good mood now, so he did not hesitate to explain to him: "Have you never heard of the tradition of the female officer exam?"

"Tradition?"

An Zhu stared at the bead again while remembering, suddenly realized, grasped the bead and said: "Could it be—"

Shui Hanzhou ignored him and walked forward on his own.

No matter how much she talked with Qin Zilan, she got this bead specially for him.

And it was taken for him by taking painstaking risks last night.

He was really different in her heart.

When Jiang Baoyu and his party arrived at the examination room of the female officer examination, Yuhua and the others were already waiting in full force, waiting for the examiner to reveal the questions.

Amang and the others were nervous for a while, as if they were also taking an exam, Xu Qingmeng's hands were blue from the grip.

"Sister Qingmeng, do you think Sister Yuhua will definitely pass the exam this time?"

"Yes, she works so hard."

"It's very hard work."

Amon nodded his head vigorously.

"I heard that she went there secretly to pick beads with Douhua and the others last night."

"There?"

Xu Qingmeng seemed to be frightened, quickly lowered her voice, looked at Aman cautiously and asked, "Did it succeed?"

Amang shook his head, but soon said with a smile: "I don't know which god or man stole the beads before they went."

Aman's small mouth almost reached his back molars, and he asked stupidly, "Do you think the examiner will really turn a blind eye this time and make the seniors pass every exam?"

Of course Xu Qingmeng didn't believe this, but facing Amang, who was short and had to stand on tiptoes to see the situation inside the examination room, and who was full of curiosity, she couldn't bear to puncture her fantasy, so she didn't know how to answer her for a while. It's done.

So Jiang Baoyu stepped forward, lifted Amang up, put his back on his body, and replied with a smile: "Yes, seniors are so eager, how can God not feel it?"

In the same way, in order to make him smile, how could he not feel her desire to pick beads for him overnight?
Why do I need to say more?

While Jiang Baoyu was thinking this way, he also blinked at Xu Qingmeng who was looking at her in surprise.

Seeing Xu Qingmeng was angry and funny, she immediately understood everything, and couldn't help but pat her on the arm.

"You are so daring, the seniors dared to take it with four people, but you went there alone?"

I thought that she had been quiet these days, and she had restrained her temper somewhat, but who knew that the world is easy to change, but her nature is hard to change.

But Jiang Baoyu was not angry with her, instead he licked his lips with his tongue, as if he didn't care.

Hearing this, Aman's face was bewildered, and he was angry alone on Jiang Baoyu's shoulder.

"You two are talking about something I don't understand again! Sure enough, you are isolating me!"

Jiang Baoyu couldn't stand still due to her turbulence, staggered two steps back and almost fell, Xu Qingmeng hurriedly supported her behind her, and tried to comfort Amang: "How can we whisper? It's just that the seniors will definitely If you can pass every exam, you can achieve your wish.”

In fact, both she and Jiang Baoyu knew about it.

The East Palace is just beginning to flourish, and all kinds of wastes are waiting to be revived.

This female officer exam is just a formality. In fact, in order to get good care for the crown prince, Shui Lige has already appointed one of his own people to go there, and most of the Shangfu bureaus are recommended by Jiang Rongxi.

At that time, there will definitely be a large number of vacancies in the Imperial Fashion Bureau, and it is time for Yuhua, the experienced senior maids who are valued by the female officials of various departments, to reach their prime.

The female officer examination is a major event in the six bureaus. Except for the female officers with the prefix Shang who must serve the Shangdian, the female officers of each bureau are naturally busy.

However, the female officials with the prefix Shang did not have to stay by the side of the Shangdian all the time, but they had to wait in their posts and wait for summons at any time.

At this moment, Xu Shanggong of the Shanggong Bureau had nothing to do, so he began to patrol around the Shanggong Bureau.

I think she is in charge of the publicity and performances of the palaces, the names and records, the format selection and punishment, and the door closing and key management.

Although it is at the same level as the other five rounds, which one should not respect her for three points?
But she prefers to cherish feathers and is fair and clear. Apart from the rare and precious treasures kept for the emperor and empress, there is nothing in the whole palace that can be called gorgeous.

If there is anything considered gorgeous, it has to be the glazed beads on the two stone statues of Xiezhi at the gate.

Although colored glaze was not considered precious, it was rare to see ones as big as half an egg, and this was the one she replaced with tears in her own pocket after the purple jade eyeballs were stolen.

Therefore, every time she saw those two stone statues in front of the door, she would take a special look at those few glazed beads.

After all, it's all her hard-earned money.

But this time when she walked past the stone statue, she suddenly felt that something was wrong, so she couldn't help but fell out of the door again and looked carefully at the stone statue of Xiezhi beside her, but she immediately sat down on the ground in anger.

I don't know who did the good thing, but they picked out the beads and replaced them with a lump of black mud in the hollow.

"These bastards, are they taking pearls out of my mother's pocket again? Who made the unlucky tradition, and why did they only pick on our palace?"

 I want to write a small theater, but I am afraid of affecting the rhythm, so let me talk about it here.

  The beads were picked by Jiang Baoyu, but the mud was made by Dou Hua, fearing that the god who stole the beads would not go far, and if people from the Shang Palace Bureau found out, they might recover the beads, leading Yuhua and the others to paste them.

  For this reason, he was almost caught by the little maid patrolling the Shang Palace Bureau.

  Because it was too late to clean it properly, Sihua's fingernails still had some mud in them. (●''●)
