The stunning beauty of Qing Dynasty

"Okay! Sir, just sit down and I will pick a beautiful lady who is good at playing the zither for you!"

Yue Niang glanced at the girl who was closest to Lin Congyu and said, "Chunhua, take this young man to pick a good room."

"Hey! Sir, please follow me." Chunhua said with a charming smile, pulling Lin Congyu.

In a daze, Lin Congyu followed Chunhua to a private room.

The private room of Baihua Tower is just like its name, decorated with exquisite carvings. Inside, there is a large bed with a tent, but the tent is too transparent, and the bed inside can be vaguely seen. Its purpose can also be clearly seen. Lin Congyu blushed and looked outside. There was a separate small table with tea and some snacks placed on it in advance. There was a faint fragrance in the room. Lin Congyu couldn't smell it, but it felt a bit similar to the scent of flowers.

Chunhua came to the private room, said goodbye and left.

Xiao Cui, who had been nervous, also relaxed after seeing the enclosed environment. She said worriedly, "Miss, aren't we going to leave in a while? Why did you invite someone like that?"

Xiao Cui said in a conflicted tone that the rules she had learned since childhood made it impossible for her to speak out loud, and she could only speak metaphorically in a conflicted manner.

Lin Congyu didn't care what her conservative maid said. She sat down boldly and poured herself a cup of tea.

He answered Xiao Cui perfunctorily: "Just follow me, I will be back soon."

Qingyin doesn't know about the heroine's wild life yet. The time for the college entrance examination is approaching, and the teachers of Bailu Academy are particularly concerned about him and specially give him a vacation.

He refused with a faint smile and continued his life of attending classes with the teachers and taking care of his younger brothers.

Seeing that Qingyin was calm, the teacher of the academy was no longer nervous and continued as usual.

In early June, the weather was gradually getting hotter, but there were more and more people setting up stalls and peddlers on the road.

The restaurants in the capital were packed with people, and some people even cleared out one or two rooms in their houses to do business.

This shows how many people take part in the college entrance examination.

Over the years, the accumulated students, young and old, mostly went to take part in the academy examination with some expectations. The academy examination was different from the student examination in that it was the dividing line between commoners and officials. If one obtained the title of scholar, he would be regarded as joining the ranks of gentry, exempt from corvée and taxes, be one level higher than the common people, and not have to kneel before the county magistrate. One could even go further and have the possibility of becoming an official directly. How could these common people not take it seriously?

Some people spend their entire lives preparing for entrance exams, even until they die, just because of these benefits.

So Qingyin was accompanied by rigorous exams all the way, but the heroine on the other side was also doing her own things in a glorious manner, such as encountering a runaway courtesan, saving a handsome man in black who was lying on the ground...

However, Lin Congyu also encountered setbacks. The last time she visited a brothel, she was seen by a cousin who knew her. Then the heroine suffered. First, the maid was executed and driven out, and she was also slapped and locked in the room.

If Gao Chenyi and Qin Shaohuai hadn't heard about it and specially asked someone to persuade Master Lin, Lin Congyu wouldn't have had a chance to get out.

Lin Congyu, who was punished so severely for the first time in ancient times, began to understand that this was a world completely different from the modern world. Thinking of Xiao Cui who was beaten to a bloody mess in front of her, Lin Congyu couldn't help but tremble, especially the pleading eyes looking at her, but she was afraid and did not dare to persuade her furious father, nor did she dare to look at Xiao Cui's eyes.

Qingyin heard about this from the system that suddenly visited her after she finished her exam.

"Yinyin, this heroine is really awesome. She went to a brothel and was discovered. The maid was beaten half to death and begged her, but she didn't dare to say anything. However, she was released after her sister's fiancé pleaded for her. But she is really brave. Now she dares to come out again. She also keeps a wild man in the side yard. Oh, no, she keeps a wild man in that place."

"Oh my god, she is really brave. But I feel sorry for the maid. She can't move or twist her body every day and has to struggle to crawl out of the mass grave. Fortunately, someone rescued her now. She should be able to survive."

"But my sister's fiancé, Qin, is such a scumbag. He has a fiancée, but he still cares about other women. What a scumbag! Get out of here, you idiot, and don't get involved with our beautiful sister."

The system kept saying several sentences in a row, which made Qingyin feel dizzy. She rubbed her temples, which were aching slightly from not hearing the system sounds for a long time.

Qing Yin asked calmly, "Are you spying on the heroine?"

The system chuckled and said seriously, "Well, this is not surveillance. I am trying to find out the enemy situation for Yinyin, so that my brothers and sisters can stay away from scumbags and live a happy life together."

"Do you think I believe it?" Qingyin said lightly.

"..."

Ignoring the dramatic system, Qingyin flipped through the script in her hand, thinking quietly that the heroine should have saved the cult leader by now, so she should prepare to give him a "gift".

At night, Qing Yin, dressed in black, floated across her yard and landed on the ground without making any noise.

A ball of light in front of us took advantage of the fact that no one could see it and flew ahead carelessly, "Hey, turn left, turn left again, and go straight."

"Turn right again, go straight, and then turn left. The man who harmed my sister is in the house with the plum tree."

"Keep your voice down," Qingyin said calmly while looking at the light ball system.

"What's the matter? Others can't hear it?" The system looked up blankly.

"Because it disturbed me."

"..."

After a moment of silence, the system looked at the host aggrievedly, but finally lowered its voice.

Qingyin climbed up by stepping on a city wall. The yard was not big and could be considered a suburb of the capital. There were relatively few people there, so Qingyin guessed that the heroine had arranged people here for this reason.

But it also made it convenient for Qingyin to sneak into the house.

Looking at the man lying on the bed, he had red lips, white teeth, delicate and sunny eyes, but his face was a little pale because he was seriously injured.

His face is good-looking, but he is too worried. Looking at the man lying on the bed with his eyes closed, Qingyin quickly dispersed a cloud of medicine mist, which was obviously effective. The man who had just felt the gaze and wanted to open his eyes, his eyelashes no longer moved, and his breathing became even calmer.

Because the demon cult leader Mo Li in the story is extremely powerful, Qing Yin deliberately gave him an elephant-level coma drug to avoid affecting his movements.

Mo Li in the novel also had a tragic life experience, but he could be considered a born bad guy who liked to torture and kill people. Later, for various reasons, he became the leader of a cult, and it is unknown how much innocent people's blood he had on his hands.

He was injured this time because the evil skills he practiced had side effects, and he would become extremely weak for a period of time. His deputy discovered this, and he became ambitious and led people to rebel, wanting to kill him. He was seriously injured, but he also killed his deputy who knew his secret and escaped. He was eventually picked up by Lin Congyu who had sneaked out to play, and ended up here.

Thinking of all the crimes committed by the evil cult leader, Qingyin mercilessly destroyed his martial arts. Mo Li, who was attacked by the evil martial arts, spat out a mouthful of blood, but Qingyin obviously had no sympathy.

He just patted his butt and planned to leave. For a man like Mo Li, death would be too easy for him. It would be better to let him live and be avenged by those innocent people, and let him experience the pain of the tortured girls and children.

Thinking of the people from the Demon Cult who would come to visit him a few days ago, Qingyin smiled slightly and left quietly.

After returning, the system that followed him on the road was still complaining: "Why didn't Yinyin just kill the bad guy? Scum like him should be dealt with humanely, right?"

Qing Yin raised her eyebrows slightly, "Death is not the fate of a person like him. How can someone who has not committed those crimes know how cruel he is? Let him experience it himself."

"Oh, yes, yes! Yinyin is still smart!"

Because of the delay at night, Qingyin got up a little late the next day.

When he opened his eyes, he saw a huge face squeezed in front of him. "Pa!" A bright red handprint fell on Luo Jiancang's face.

Luo Jiancang felt wronged: "Brother?"

Qing Yin frowned: "Why are you running to my window so early?"

Luo Jiancang: "Brother, you usually get up at Chenshi, but today you haven't gotten up yet at Sishi. I'm worried that you might be sick, right?"

"..."

This unfortunate child, Qingyin rubbed his sleepy eyes and eyebrows, and after feeling a little more awake, he pushed the unfortunate child's face away and asked Ali, who was standing aside and laughing, to get a basin of water for him to wash.

The demon cult leader who was hidden by Lin Congyu woke up late on the morning of the third day. As soon as he woke up, he realized that his body was destroyed.

A young and pretty girl was sitting next to him, staring at him infatuatedly. Under normal circumstances, Mo Li might feel that this woman's appearance made his eyes bright, but now that he was aware of his physical condition, he felt that the face in front of him was particularly terrifying.

He grabbed Lin Congyu's neck and said, "Tell me if you have harmed me and given me some poison."

Because the man moved so quickly, Lin Congyu was strangled before she could react. The fear of death and suffocation locked her tightly. She tried desperately to resist and slapped the man with her hands.

Fortunately, the man was disabled and had been lying in bed for a few days, so his body was completely broken and he was freed by Lin Congyu in just a few minutes.

Lin Congyu, who was freed, gasped for breath, covered her bruised neck with her hands, and looked at the man lying on the bed in fear.

"I, I'm your savior! How could you kill me!?"

The man responded by giving her a look that frightened her.

Horrified, Lin Congyu dared not look at this handsome man again and fled from the yard in embarrassment.

Qingyin, who was grading the papers here, received a message from the system.

"Hahaha, Yinyin, you don't know that the man wanted to kill the heroine as soon as he woke up. If he hadn't been hungry for several days and you, Yinyin, hadn't crippled his martial arts, the heroine would have probably been strangled to death. Tsk tsk."

"Really?" Qingyin asked, but she was not surprised at all.

In the original world, the leader of the demon cult was not a person who could be approached. If it weren't for the wealth and power brought by the heroine, he probably wouldn't have fallen in love with her. In this life, he had destroyed his martial arts in advance, so even if he could figure out that it was not the heroine's doing, he would probably still feel resentment.

Qingyin, standing outside the courtyard in white clothes, looked like a fairy about to ascend to heaven in the wind. Even if she was just holding a few pieces of straw paper, they looked like treasures unique to heaven and were extremely beautiful.

The two siblings, who were originally anxiously waiting for their elder brother to mark their papers, could not help but become fascinated by the picture.

While waiting for the results of the college entrance examination, the system also monitored the existence of the heroine and Mo Li. For example, Mo Li was found by the people of the Demon Cult seven days later, and it was discovered that his martial arts were useless. Then those people rebelled and tortured the former leader all day long.

After suffering a loss once, the heroine actually picked up another man, but this time she was lucky because the man had a relatively upright character, blah blah.

While reading the gossip about the heroine, Qingyin also waited for the result of the college entrance examination, and as expected, she got first place.

In order to achieve this result, Luo's father specially took a few glasses of wine and drank a few glasses with the whole family. Maybe he was too happy, so he got drunk. Luo Jiancang on the side curled his lips and thought, "Oh, why wasn't the old man so happy when he took the exam before? But big brother is really awesome, he deserves to be my big brother."

Luo Miaoqing and Lin's mother on the other side did the same. They happily drank several glasses of fruit wine in a row. After the last one, Qingyin looked at the drunkards who were all sober except herself, and helplessly asked the servants to send them back to the yard, make a cup of sobering tea, and have a good rest after drinking it.

It was already getting dark, and the bright sky had darkened. It was too early to go to bed, so Qingyin simply asked the system to pick a suspense film and start playing it. It was just in time for bed in two hours.

A year later, the palace examination was held as scheduled.

When the palace selection begins, the candidates who have passed the examination enter the hall one by one and sit down according to their seats.

At this time, pens, ink and test papers had been placed on the seats. The only sound in the hall was the examiner's solemn reading. Coupled with the guards with swords hanging on both sides, the whole scene became more tense and serious.

Perhaps because it was the palace examination, even if the candidates and guards saw Qingyin's face, they were no longer as shocked as in the previous exams. They all sat or stood straight, only occasionally glancing at Qingyin's face for a few seconds.

This time, the test questions were clearly biased towards people's livelihood issues. Qingyin thought about it for a while, formed some ideas in her mind, and decided to start writing.

At some point, there was a sound of footsteps behind him, walking casually in the hall, which undoubtedly revealed his identity.

The sound was sometimes louder and sometimes softer, and it would stay in one place for a while from time to time, giving people more pressure. The candidates who heard the sound approaching broke out in a sweat, and some even had trembling hands holding their pens.

A young candidate, who was about 20 years old, felt the footsteps behind him and immediately began to sweat profusely. He felt more and more stressed and had more and more thoughts in his mind.

Why didn't the emperor leave? Did he write something wrong? Was the emperor dissatisfied?

Emperor Yongzheng actually didn't care about the candidate closest to him. He just wanted to see if there were any good candidates in this session, and he was a little curious about the first place winner of the imperial examination. When he heard that the eldest son of the Luo family, who was expected to win the first place this session, had an excellent face, he didn't care. He was a person who didn't care about appearance. He was selecting talents, not concubines, so why did he have to pay attention to this person's face.

But now, Emperor Yongzheng felt that Su Peisheng had underestimated the appearance of his minister. His appearance was not just excellent, but his beauty was absolutely sky-high, okay?

Standing in the examinee's position, Emperor Yongzheng could just see Qingyin's face, so this was why Emperor Yongzheng stayed with this examinee for so long.
