"See you in two days."

"See you in two days."

"See you in two days."

"..."

After the group of people separated at the fork, the smile on Li Miao's face slowly faded and she became thoughtful.

When Yang Hao came up to say hello to the three of them, he had already noticed something was wrong. It seemed vaguely that they came for him. The subsequent exchange of toasts made him even more sure: Yang Hao did come for him.

!

But... what is Yang Hao's purpose?

Thinking about it carefully, he didn't say much else except inviting them to watch the announcement of the results two days later. Could this be the purpose?

But...if this is really the case, what good will this do to him?

Li Miao thought about it, but couldn't figure out the reason, so she could only give up.

Then, when he looked up, he found that he had appeared at the gate of Zhe Mansion before he knew it.

"Mr. Li, you are back. The lady has given instructions. If you have nothing to do when you come back, you can go to the study to see her. If the lady has something to do, she wants to see you, Mr. Li." A guard said to Li Miao.

Hearing this, Li Miao nodded to the guard, and then headed towards Zhe Xinyi's small courtyard.

The first person I met was not Zhe Xinyi, but the bun-faced maid.

As soon as she saw Li Miao, the bun-faced maid came up to him with joy, "Master Li, you are back!"

Then, he stretched out his little hand towards Li Miao.

Li Miao looked at her puzzled and asked: "What does this mean?"

The bun-faced maid said: "Candied fruits, Mr. Li, you said you would bring the candied fruits back to me from Tangji Preserved Fruits."

"Oh, that's what happened."

Li Miao showed a look of sudden realization and continued: "That's right, because Tangji Preserved Fruits is closed today, I can't bring you candied fruits."

"Is that like this?"

The bun-faced maid looked at Li Miao suspiciously and said, "But, I remember that Tang Ji Preserved Fruit basically won't close at this point."

Li Miao said without blushing, "Well... Tang Ji Preserved Fruit is usually open at this time, but today it is closed for some unknown reason."

The steamed bun-faced maid pouted slightly, with a frustrated look on her face: "I see, I'm really looking forward to eating Tangji preserves today."

"Myolie, so you are here, do you see what I have in my hand?"

At this time, another voice rang out, but it was Xiuhe who appeared in front of the two of them holding a package of things wrapped in oil paper.

"What is it?"

The bun-faced maid came over curiously and stared at the thing in Xiuhe's hand.

Xiuhe said with excitement on his face: "It's Tang Ji's preserves. When I passed by just now, I found that Tang Ji was doing an event today. You can buy so much at half the usual price."

The bun-faced maid asked doubtfully: "Didn't you say that Tangji is closed today?"

Xiuhe said: "Who said that?"

The bun-faced maid turned her head to look at Li Miao, and Xiuhe also followed the bun-faced maid and looked over.

"Ahem... Your lady still has something to ask me for, so I'll leave first."

Under the gaze of the two little maids, Li Miao fled out of their sight and came to Zhe Xinyi's study.

……

"You mean that Xie Anyu has already come out of the Yamen cell? It's only been a few days..."

Li Miao looked at Zhe Xinyi with a little surprise.

"Well, that's right."

Zhe Xinyi nodded lightly and continued: "Song Zhishao, the minister of etiquette, personally went to the Yamen and fished Xie Anyu out of it."

"Song Zhishao?"

Li Miao asked doubtfully: "What is the relationship between this person and Xie Anyu?"

Zhe Xinyi explained: "This person has a certain relationship with Xie Anyu's father. When he first came to the capital, Xie Anyu visited him."

Hearing what she said, Li Miao became even more confused and said: "When your nephews and nephews encounter difficulties, isn't it normal for you as an elder to help solve them? Is there any problem in this?"

Zhe Xinyi said: "There is no problem with this, but after Xie Anyu left the county government, he secretly met a person. This person was named Yang Yuchun. He was a senior servant in Yang Mansion. He was given the surname Yang, and...

....This Yang Mansion is the Yang Mansion where Yang Rong, the Minister of Rites of the dynasty, lived."

When she said this, Zhe Xinyi's face became quite solemn.

Since Xie Anyu was taken to the county government last time, Zhe Xinyi has sent people who are proficient in tracking to keep an eye on Xie Anyu's behavior in the dark.

Yang Rong, the Minister of Rites of the dynasty, wasn't Yang Hao his son?

He ranked second in the examination, and what he did and said strangely today...

Does it really have anything to do with him?

The combination of these things made Li Miao doubtful.

Looking at his expression, Zhe Xinyi asked: "What's wrong? What did you think of?"

Li Miao didn't mean to hide anything and told her roughly what he thought.

......

On the other side, Yang Hao, who returned to Yang Mansion, couldn't help but curve his mouth.

He has a good friend who is a few years older than him. He has been staying in the Hanlin Academy since the year he became a second-class Jinshi. This time, he was lucky enough to be selected as one of the Hanlin Academy officials who reviewed the papers.

Two days ago, he had a meal with this good friend. Perhaps because he drank too much, this good friend actually committed a taboo and congratulated him, saying that he was the top scholar in the imperial examination this time.

Fortunately, apart from the two of them, there was no one else in the room, otherwise his friend's official career would probably have come to an end.

Of course, this is not the point. The point is that he is the number one pick this time, which means that he finally suppressed Li Sanshui and defeated him.

This is the reason why he invited Li Miao and the three of them to go together to watch the release of the list two days later. He can't wait to see Li Miao's reaction when he sees his name appear at the top of the list.<

/p>

Disappointed? Unwilling? Or...

Two days passed quickly, and it was finally the day for the results of the palace examination.

The place where the results of the palace examination were released was not the same as the dragon and tiger wall in Gongyuan, but the market in the east of the city.

This market is the most prosperous and lively among the markets in the capital. It is the most suitable for things like releasing rankings.

This list seems to only involve about two hundred people, but a lot of people have already gathered at the place where the list is posted, and it looks really lively.

Most of these people simply come to watch the fun and don't care about the ranking on the list. Except for those tributes, only a certain number of people care about the list. Most of these people have bets on the list.

Their ranking is related to whether they lose or win, and how much they win.

Of course, there are also those who come to catch their son-in-law.

At this time, Li Miao and others were standing in the corridor on the second floor of a certain attic, chatting while watching the movement below.

This attic has been booked by Yang Hao, so apart from a few of them, there is no one else here on the second floor.

Li Miao hardly participated in their conversation. He just added a sentence or two from time to time and looked at a few people with a slight smile. To be precise, his main attention was on Yang Hao.
