After the separation, the family had a lot of fish and meat every day, and the best was furious

Cui Taihe looked at Wan Weiran twice, then shook his head.

"I heard that he was so depressed that he took some medicine and hanged himself."

Wan Weiran's eyes were lost and dim. No one knew his elder brother better than him. No matter how big his elder brother's worries were, he would not commit suicide by taking poison.

"is it?"

"Doctor Wan seems to be very interested in that Doctor Wan. You both have the surname Wan, could it be..."

Wan Weiran nodded: "Lord Cui, you're overthinking it. Since the old lady is fine, everyone should pay attention to keeping her warm."

Lin Ting waited in the room for an incense stick of time before taking the silver needle out of Mrs. Cui's body.

"Okay, Madam Cui is fine now. If you still feel uncomfortable, you can come to me next door."

Old Madam Cui was very grateful to Lin Ting. She heard that this woman had made life better for everyone in the village.

She is good at business and has the generosity to help others. Even among men, few can be like her.

"Mrs. Lin, the last time we parted, you gave me the delicious Wushan chili seasoning. You see, I didn't even have time to thank you properly, and now you've saved me again.

When you get to the capital, if you have anything to do, feel free to come to Cui Mansion to find me. You can also come even if you have nothing to do."

Mrs. Cui has been asking about Lin Ting's deeds along the way. Her beauty is so great that there are actually many different versions of her in the mouths of outsiders.

Of course, no matter how the story spreads, it is inseparable from the fact that she has done a great job in her career.

"Cui Mansion? I wonder which Cui Mansion it is?"

The other person intentionally told Lin Ting, otherwise Lin Ting wouldn't have asked.

"Which other Cui Mansion could it be? The Cui Mansion of the headmaster of Hanlin Academy."

Lin Ting knew that Cui Taihe might be an official, but he didn't expect that his official position was so high that he was the president of the Hanlin Academy.

He was a second-rank official, and all the candidates and examination questions for the imperial examinations would pass through his hands.

"It turns out to be the headmaster Cui. I am honored to meet you, Mr. Cui."

Lin Ting and Wan Weiran saluted together, but Shen Qingzhou was still outside and didn't know about this.

Fortunately, Lin Ting had no conflicts with them along the way.

Wan Weiran had not expected that this person was actually the head of the Hanlin Academy. He still remembered that when he was a child, his elder brother had mentioned to him that the head of the Hanlin Academy was very knowledgeable.

"No need for formalities. I've met Madam Lin and you, as well as Mr. Shen, along the way. This journey of mine hasn't been too boring."

Lin Ting called Shen Qingzhou in as well, and they formally met Cui Taihe together, which was considered a formal acquaintance.

Originally, it was Lin Ting and Wan Weiran who left Shen Qingzhou out, and now Cui Taihe saw him again.

The two seemed to have met too late. Cui Taihe took Shen Qingzhou to his room and brought out some books and other things.

It seemed that the two of them could talk endlessly until the end of the world. Old Lady Cui shook her head. She seemed to have gotten used to Cui Taihe's behavior.

"Madam Lin, you and Doctor Wan should go and rest. I'm afraid Shen Jieyuan won't be able to come out for a while."

Lin Ting was also quite helpless, but it was also a good thing for him that Shen Qingzhou could have a good conversation with the president of the Hanlin Academy.

"Then Madam Cui, you should also have a good rest."

Lin Ting came out of Mrs. Cui's room, packed himself up at the post station, and waited for a long time but Shen Qingzhou still hadn't come back. It seemed that it was really as Mrs. Cui said.

Lin Ting rested until midnight when Shen Qingzhou came back. Although he was very tired, he was in an unusually good mood.

"You're back!"

When Lin Ting opened her eyes and saw that it was Shen Qingzhou, she continued to sleep with peace of mind and said these words in a daze.

Shen Qingzhou nodded, took off his outer robe, hugged Lin Ting, and kept smiling foolishly.

"My lady, let me tell you, Mr. Cui is truly knowledgeable and talented. No matter what he analyzes, his analysis is very reasonable..."

Shen Qingzhou was still recalling his conversation with Cui Taihe. He hadn't had this feeling of talking all night long for a long time.

However, seeing the person in his arms sleeping so soundly, his desire to share turned into pampering.

The next day!

When Lin Ting heard them get up, Cui Taihe and the others had already left. Cui Taihe left a letter for Shen Qingzhou.

The above probably means that he was the top scorer in the provincial examination, and Cui Taihe was the person who set the questions for the imperial examination, so it was not appropriate for the two to appear in the capital together.

This is also for Shen Qingzhou's own good. If he gets better in the future, he won't be criticized.

"My lady, it's getting late. If we leave now, we can almost reach the capital before dark."

"it is good!"

When the coachman had harnessed the carriage and was ready to set off, Wan Weiran came to say goodbye to Lin Ting and the others.

"Master Lin, Shen Qingzhou, now that we're here, I won't be traveling with you anymore. I've come to the capital for more important things to do.

But you don't have to worry about me, if the time is right, I will definitely come to find you."

Looking at his heavy figure, although he never clearly said why he came to the capital, Lin Ting could guess roughly.

"Wan Weiran, if what you are about to do is dangerous, you must proceed with caution."

His elder brother's matter has always been a knot in his heart. If he didn't care so much, he wouldn't have asked Lord Cui like that last night.

"I understand. And Shen Qingzhou, I believe you will pass the exam this time."

Shen Qingzhou patted his shoulder and said, "Although I don't know what your matter is, I think it must be very important to you. The capital is not like Wenzhu County. Remember not to take risks."

Wan Weiran: "Okay!"

After parting with Wan Weiran, only Lin Ting and Shen Qingzhou were left on the road. Apart from taking a break to eat, they traveled non-stop and finally arrived at the city gate of the capital before dark.

Jingcheng, the capital of Dongxia Kingdom, has a majestic and magnificent city gate under the feet of the emperor. The two words "Jingcheng" are even larger and more eye-catching.

Even when it was getting dark, there were still many people coming in and out of the city, and there were also tea stalls and vendors selling their wares.

Lin Ting lifted a corner of the carriage curtain and saw this prosperous scene.

At the foot of the city wall, there was a couple sitting there, followed by two maids and five or six servants.

That was none other than Lin Ting's sister Lin Lin.

Seeing Lin Ting and their carriage coming, Lin Lin stood up with her hands on her waist, and Qu Yuanxun also supported her from the side.

"Lin Ting!"

When she saw her sister again, Lin Lin's heart beat like a drum. From childhood to adulthood, this was the first time she and Lin Ting were separated so far apart.

"elder sister!"

Lin Ting got off the carriage and ran to Lin Lin. For his relatives, there really was a blood connection.

When I saw Lin Lin again, she was already seven months pregnant, and even if she wore more clothes, her pregnancy was still obvious.

"Sister, how are you doing recently?"

Lin Lin placed one hand on her pregnant belly. Although she was bloated during pregnancy, it couldn't hide the happiness on her face.

"I'm fine, but you guys, the snow and wind haven't melted yet. It must have been difficult for you on the road."

Lin Ting held Lin Lin's arm and said, "It's okay. At least we arrived safely."

Shen Qingzhou also nodded to Lin Lin and Qu Yuanxun: "Sister, brother-in-law!"
