There are bandits attacking

Chapter 26: Visitation

Although it was a bit crooked, Chen Zhuo was not completely crooked. Seeing Jiang Ning's miserable appearance even though he was pretending, Chen Zhuo still softened his heart and gave up the opportunity to pursue the victory. "Brother Chen Hao has no intention of pursuing an official career, but if he is on the list, he still won't take this path?"

"This is indeed a troublesome matter." Jiang Ning was thinking hard, "I don't know if brother Yuan Liang has any friendship with the examiner this time, can you tell him hello and let him not admit me, and give this opportunity to me. People in need."

"The chief examiner this time is the fourth prince. I don't have a deep friendship with him. I'm afraid I can't help you with this." Chen Zhuo was stunned for a moment, not to mention that he had just experienced leaking questions. Fraud, even Jiang Ning's reason, he would never help, it would be abnormal if he helped.

"Then do you know when the exam will start?"

"The imperial court has not issued a notice, and I don't know."

"As a prince and aristocrat, I don't know this one, I don't know that one, no matter how I look at it, I feel like a useless person. Don't you have any sense of shame?" Jiang Ning looked at Chen Zhuo disappointed.

"These are not things within the scope of my accusation." Chen Zhuo felt that it was a very wrong decision for him to soften his heart towards Jiang Ning.And what's there to be ashamed of if he doesn't know?

The fourth prince's mother has a low status and is not valued in the palace. He does not belong to any faction and has never had the heart to fight for the crown prince, so they have never cared about this person. It is not normal that he does not have a deep relationship with the fourth prince. ?It is said that he is not responsible for these scientific examinations, and he does not take the examinations, so why should he know when to start.

"Then what is your duty?"

"Accompanying reading"

"So you can't do anything but study, you are really useless as a scholar," Jiang Ning sighed.

"..." Chen Zhuo couldn't say anything right, who said that companion reading is just for reading?

Jiang Ning was complacent in teasing Chen Zhuo again.At this time, Zhang Jiu's thoughts had already flown into the distance.

Speaking of the exam, Qin Ce couldn't help appearing in Zhang Jiu's mind. They haven't seen each other since that visit. Even though he once offered to help Qin Ce, Qin Ce never asked him to do it. What, he thought maybe Qin Ce was just dealing with it with confidence, and he should also trust Qin Ce, and as an ordinary friend, it was enough for him to express his concern at that time.

Qin Ce was too confident that day. He always thought that Qin Ce would be safe, but then came the news that Qin Ce was dismissed and grounded. Zhang Jiu heard his heart pounding vaguely. After a while, at that moment he had an urge to see Qin Ce immediately, to see how he was doing?Is it all right?This idea came so suddenly that he didn't know when Qin Ce had such an important position in his heart.

This also gave Zhang Jiu a sense of crisis. He tried his best to suppress this thought, tried his best to ignore Qin Ce's influence on him, and tried his best not to think about or care about Qin Ce's news. Arrived, not thinking about Qin Ce.

However, after hearing about the scientific research just now, Qin Ce reappeared in his mind, and it was more intense than before. The silence of the past few days seemed to be silently accumulating strength, waiting for this outbreak, and it was out of control .

Zhang Jiu suddenly thought, when the tide comes, it cannot be blocked. It is better to be sparse. Maybe he is not deeply obsessed with Qin Ce. It is precisely because he suppresses his thoughts every time, a little backlog will cause It's better to let nature take its course than blindly suppress it.

After figuring it out, Zhang Jiu instantly felt much better physically and mentally.

Thinking of doing it, Zhang Jiu set foot on the road to visit Qin Ce the next day.

When the servants said that Zhang Jiu came to visit, the tide of joy in Qin Ce's heart was churning instantly. During the days of confinement, Qin Ce felt that everything was fine. The only bad thing was that he couldn't see Zhang Jiu and couldn't go. 'One Family Inn' ate a meal, if he hadn't always been used to self-control, he might have gone to see Zhang Jiu long ago.

Putting down the pen in his hand, Qin Ce immediately went to greet him.

Seeing the ice melt on Qin Ce's face, the butler thought he was hallucinating, so he couldn't help but pinch himself. The pain meant that he was not dreaming. He really saw Qin Ce smiling.

The last time I saw Qin Ce's smile seemed to be when this person named Zhang Jiu came, and this time too, the butler wondered if Zhang Jiu had some magical power, otherwise why Qin Ce was so happy every time he saw him?

Moreover, in the impression of the housekeeper, there had never been any guest in the house who could make Qin Ce willingly go out to greet him in person. Apart from the emperor and queen, Zhang Jiu was the only one. Anyone who wanted to see Qin Ce would wait and wait. Not necessarily able to meet people.

When the housekeeper was stunned and puzzled, Qin Ce had already met Zhang Jiu.

"Brother Heng won't blame me for being too abrupt for not sending the greeting card in advance," Zhang Jiu said with a smile.

"How could it be? I'm honored that you can come." Qin Ce looked at Zhang Jiu for a long time before looking away.

"How are you doing recently?" Zhang Jiu looked at Qin Ce, his face was rosy, his spirits were high, and he was in high spirits. It couldn't be better. What's the situation?What about the depression he imagined?What about the misery he imagined?What about the haze in his imagination?Why not?Could it be that Qin Ce's ability to resist blows is too strong?Or is his imagination too rich?

"What else can I do? It's extraordinarily leisurely." Qin Ce smiled. At the beginning, he was unwilling to be reconciled to his current situation, but he gradually accepted this fact, not to mention that this was also the result he expected. So it's not too sad, it's just that he is a bit uncomfortable after being free for a while, who has always been busy.

"People steal half a day's leisure, but you don't need to steal now, but you have to take good care of it." Zhang Jiu pretended to be relaxed, maybe it wasn't because he thought too much, Qin Ce might be sad, but he I don't want people to see that people like Qin Ce are used to hiding their sadness. Qin Ce is probably forcing a smile now.

"Yeah, I used to be too busy, but now I don't have to worry about paperwork, I don't have to mess with my ears, and I don't have to worry about mundane things, so of course I have to enjoy it." Qin Ce smiled wryly, seeing Zhang Jiu's cautious look , Qin Ce felt that maybe he should show some sadness, so that he could get more care.

The self-mockery in Qin Ce's eyes is too obvious, and it's hard for Zhang Jiu not to pay attention, which makes him not know how to answer the conversation, from the bustle of the crowd to the neglect in front of the door, such a gap can't be tolerated by any ambitious person Yes, one can imagine how Qin Ce will feel.

Zhang Jiu felt that what he said just now would be harsh to Qin Ce, "I'm sorry."

The sudden apology made Qin Ce stunned for a moment. Seeing Zhang Jiu's guilty face, Qin Ce suddenly realized. He couldn't help but wonder if he had acted too much. "If you feel sorry, you can come over and chat with me more, I am very boring in the mansion by myself"

Zhang Jiu was a little surprised by Qin Ce's request, and secretly thought about whether he should come.

Seeing Zhang Jiu's hesitation and delay in answering, Qin Ce really started to feel sad this time, and sighed in self-pity, "It's okay if Brother Puhua finds it inconvenient, just pretend I didn't say it, yes, I'm now It’s a good thing to avoid the sinful body, and who would be willing to come to the door? It’s only right that there are few people, and it’s human nature for Brother Puhua not to want to.”

Qin Ce's sigh made Zhang Jiu completely lose the power to resist, "Brother Heng misunderstood, why would I not want to come to see you? It's just that the scientific examination is just around the corner, and I'm afraid it will be very difficult after I am busy studying. Hard to find time”

"Is that so?" Qin Ce asked quietly, making it clear that he didn't believe Zhang Jiu's words.

Thinking about what he did before, Zhang Jiu also felt that his words were a bit unreliable. This excuse was too clumsy, so he answered hard, "It is true, but I will not forget Brother Heng, I will definitely Take the time to visit you often"

Qin Ce's face brightened a bit, "Then I'll wait for Brother Puhua, I hope you won't let me down."

"Will not"
