Chapter 1176 Hongmeng Chapter 42

"Lou Nian'er said the color of the hairpin was not very good, how did she base her judgment?" Xiao Zhen asked.

"Miss Axiu said that a senior monk once taught her sister-in-law how to read jade."

"Axiu believed it?"

"Axiu doesn't believe it, but since her sister-in-law said so, she can't wear it anymore." Xiya took out the jade hairpin originally given to Axiu from the hidden pocket in her sleeve: "So I asked for this hairpin.

I came back and gave the jade bracelet to Miss Axiu. The jade bracelet is covered with sleeves, so as long as it is not exposed deliberately, no one else can see it."

Xiao Zhen poured himself another cup of tea to drink.

"Madam, now I also think that Mr. Lou is a little weird." Xi Ya sat next to Xiao Zhen and said, "Why did she notice the jade hairpin in Miss Axiu's hair? This jade hairpin is no different from the jade objects in the world."

Xiao Zhen nodded: "We have already interfered enough in the Situ family's affairs. From now on, we will stop interfering. However, you still have to keep an eye on this Lou Nian'er."

"knew."

The five days of intense exams were finally over, and all the families were waiting outside the door for their children to come out and ask about the situation.

Xiao Zhen usually didn't feel anything, but now he became slightly nervous. Xi Ya looked on and snickered: "Madam, are you worried that the master will fail the exam?"

"Aren't you worried?"

"I'm also a little worried. What if I really fail the exam? Will my self-esteem be damaged?"

"Probably not, I really failed." Xiao Zhen stopped abruptly, because he felt the surroundings getting cooler, turned around, and sure enough, she saw the inner demon three steps behind her, with a handsome face looking at her with great dissatisfaction.

On his own, Xiao Zhen laughed awkwardly: "Haha."

"Haha." The inner demon also imitated her and laughed twice, "It seems that Madam and Xiya have very little confidence in me."

"How could it be? A man as studious as my husband will definitely be able to get a good name." Xiao Zhen hurried over and held a fan in his hand to fan away the heat all over his body.

Xi Ya nodded frequently beside him.

"Husband, how did you perform?" Xiao Zhen followed the demon walking towards the carriage step by step. When he saw the demon glanced at her slightly, he quickly put on a smile.

The Demonic Heart stepped onto the carriage and pulled Xiao Zhen aboard. Xiao Zhen casually pulled Xi Ya aboard. After the three of them sat down, he said slowly: "I am determined to win the title of No. 1 Scholar."

So confident? Xiao Zhen and Xiya looked at each other. The former raised the curtain and looked out of the carriage, while the latter lowered his head and made a cute gesture.

Inner Demon: ""

"It seems that the children of the Situ family should have done well in the exam. They are all smiling." Xiao Zhen looked at the Situ family and then looked at the Lou family: "It is true that one person in the Lou family has achieved the goal of ascending to heaven, and there are actually several of them.

Officials from the court came out to have a chat with them."

After hearing this, Xiya also leaned over to take a look.

I heard the inner demon say: "The sister of the head of the Lou family is the most favored concubine of the current emperor. More than ten years ago, the emperor rescued a woman in the rain during a private visit incognito. At that time, he was attracted by the woman's beauty and was shocked. It was Lou.

The sister of the head of the family, the Lou family naturally pushed that sister into the emperor's arms, which is why the Lou family has the status it has today."

Xiao Zhen withdrew his gaze, looked at the inner demon and said regretfully: "It's a pity that I don't have a biological family, otherwise my biological family could have as high a status as the Lou family."

"Didn't you say that the Situ family are your relatives?"

"Can it be the same? It's better for both humans and demons not to interfere with each other." Xiao Zhen shook her head, but she just said casually that if it was so complicated to become the Lou family, then forget it.

On the contrary, the inner demon was thoughtful and said for a moment: "It's not impossible."

"Huh?" Xiao Zhen looked at him strangely: "What's not impossible?"

The inner demon smiled faintly, looking at Xiao Zhen's eyes that could bring out honey: "You will know later."

The carriage drove all the way outside the city.

It's dusk, and the sunset is infinitely beautiful.

After three days of intense exams, Xiao Zhen naturally took his inner demons out to relax and went boating on Daqu Lake outside the city.

A very large, two-story boat.

Xiao Zhen threw a fishing rod to Xin Mo and Xi Ya, and sat down to fish. He said with a smile: "Our dinner tonight is in your hands."

"Eat fish?" This was the first time the inner demon got a fishing rod and looked at it curiously.

"Master, I recently learned a new dish called vinegar fish. Madam wanted to eat it, so she brought us here to fish and let you go to the lake. We must catch a big fish later," Xi Ya said.

The fish hook dropped.

Since the madam wants to eat it, the demon will certainly spare no effort.

The lake breeze was gentle and felt very comfortable on my face. The sun was setting in the west, and half of the red-stained sky gradually disappeared into the lake. The scenery seemed like something in a painting.

The boatman turned on the lights on the boat. The lake was quiet and the lights were bright. They were reflected in the lake. The static beauty was really intoxicating.

"What kind of mountain is that? It's so high." Xiao Zhen looked up inadvertently and was attracted by a high mountain in the distance. It was the first time he saw such a high mountain in the world. He asked the boatman behind him: "Boatman, that mountain

What’s it called?”

"That's Emperor Mountain, the highest mountain in the world." said the boatman.

"Emperor Mountain? The mountain actually lives up to its name."

Xinmo and Xiya also looked at the mountain, and Xinmo let out a sigh: "It's really tall. If it grows taller, it will hit the Tianmen."

The boatman laughed when he heard what the handsome young man said: "Young Master is really humorous, but I heard from the older generation that this Imperial Mountain is the peak of Buzhou Mountain that fell back then."

Buzhou Mountain? Xiao Zhen's eyebrows jumped when he heard Jiu Wei's name. He thought of Hongmeng and wondered if her health had recovered a little now.

"There's a fish, there's a fish." Xiya cheered: "It's so heavy, madam, sir, come and help me."

Xin Mo and Xiao Zhen hurried over and pulled together. Unexpectedly, there was a crash and the fishing rope broke.

"The fish is about to run away." Xiya was anxious and jumped into the lake to catch the fish without thinking.

Everyone: ""

When Xi Ya came up, not only had the original fish been caught, but there were even swarms of big fish following behind her. The fish all looked like they were waiting to be caught, which dumbfounded all the fishermen.

"It's strange. As soon as I jumped into the sea, this fish immediately happily swam to me and asked me to catch it. Why did they follow me? Didn't they know they were going to be eaten by us?" Xiya was surprised. She was

Demons, all things have animism, and they don’t like the evil spirit of demons. You can avoid them as far away as you can.

"Maybe they like to be eaten by you." Xiao Zhen smiled cheerfully and said to the fish in the lake: "Let's all scatter. You don't have such a blessing."

When the fishing group heard these words, they left one after another.

The fishermen were stunned again.

The inner demon looked at the fish caught by Xi Ya and the group of fish that left, with an incomprehensible light flashing in his dark eyes.

Xiao Zhen pushed Xi Ya in and quickly went in to make vinegar fish. Xi Ya had fairy energy in her body. When she caught the fish and ate it, the fish would absorb the spiritual energy from her body. This is the sleepy fruit. At the same time, the fish would be reborn.

level, when the heaven opens its dragon gate, this fish's chance of winning will increase by 10%.

Putting aside her doubts, Xi Ya began to focus on cooking the fish.

As night falls, the lake on the ground is calm, the breeze is refreshing, the stars in the sky are bright, and there are occasional shooting stars.

The three people on the boat happily ate vinegar fish and drank old wine. There is nothing more elegant and unrestrained in their attitude towards life than this.

The three of them enjoyed the lake until noon the next day before landing on the shore. After returning to Situ's house, they entered the yard. Situ Cui and his son were already waiting for them in the house.

"Uncle, how did you do in the exam?" Situ Nan asked the demon excitedly.

The inner demon is still the same saying, the number one scholar is determined to win.

Xiao Zhen looked at the expressions of Situ and his son who didn't know what to say and snickered. People, sometimes being too confident can cause trouble to others. He shook his head and went into the wine cellar to get some wine.

Two days later, the rankings of the scientific examination came out. The first place was not the inner demon, but the Lou family. The Lou family occupied the top five. Among the top ten, the Situ family only occupied one person, and the rest were from other families.

The son of the family, and the inner demon is the fifteenth.

The inner demon's face was very gloomy. Not only him, Situ Cui and Situ Nan's expressions were also quite gloomy.

"This is impossible." Situ Nan's face was even worse than that of his inner demon: "The Lou family promised me that the children of the Situ family will definitely be in the top three. For the sake of the children of the family, I even gave up this imperial examination."

"What do you mean?" Xi Ya was coming out with a plate of chicken. When she heard what Situ Nan said, she was surprised and said: "Master Anan, is it possible that such an imperial examination can also determine the ranking?"

Xiao Zhen suddenly felt that if the inner demon could get the first place in the exam, it wouldn't be difficult.

"Anan, go to Lou's house and ask what's going on." Situ Cui said.
