Qingyin noticed that his tone was a little dangerous and quickly shook her head, "No, I'm just curious."
Yes, she was just curious.
It’s not that I don’t believe it.
Xie Jin said in a depressed tone, "You just have so little confidence in me."
Then, he sighed again.
That's all.
Why is he angry with her?
Xie Jin continued speaking.
Qingyin only then realized that this autumn examination was indeed full of dangers.
On that day, when Xie Jin was still dozens of miles away from Beijing, it suddenly rained heavily.
The coachman had no choice but to turn the carriage around and rush to a nearby abandoned temple to shelter from the rain.
Unexpectedly, when they went there.
There were already people in the temple, and the guards at the door stopped Xie Jin and the coachman.
Xie Jin just glanced at it indifferently and stood under the eaves nearby.
Although the driver was angry, he knew that most of the people sitting under the emperor's feet were high-ranking officials and nobles.
Moreover, to have so many guards, he must be either rich or noble.
So, he had to lower his head and mutter something that he couldn't even hear clearly, and then he stood under the eaves with Xie Jin unwillingly.
The coldest month of winter.
You can imagine how cold it was since the clothes were already wet from the rain.
The driver looked at Xie Jin, who was wearing even less than him but standing straight and not showing any sign of coldness, and couldn't help but ask, "Aren't you cold?"
As the words came out, my teeth were chattering.
Xie Jin glanced at the sky where the rain had completely subsided, then walked to the door.
The guard was about to stop him.
But a gentle and soft voice came from inside, "Let them in."
"Miss..." The guard hesitated.
"No problem, let them in."
In fact, when Xie Jin ran over from the rain, she saw Xie Jin's appearance, but it was only a quick glimpse.
When the person stopped at the door, she could see more clearly: she was tall and graceful, with a beautiful face.
Seeing that the guards stopped him outside, she wanted to ask the guards to let him in.
But before she could say anything, the man turned and walked to the side.
She could only look away disappointedly.
Unexpectedly, he actually asked to come in. She didn't have time to think about it and spoke before the guards could do so.
For Xie Jin, this episode was quickly forgotten.
But for Xia Tang, he could never forget it.
She sent people to inquire about him, and within a day, she found out that his name was Xie Jin, and he was the new champion of this session.
Originally, her father wanted her to marry the man who would pass the imperial examination and become the top scorer.
But she also knew.
My father had already set his sights on this top scholar.
If it were in the past, when she had no idea about love and followed her father's wishes to get married, there would be nothing wrong with it.
But now, she knew that she liked Xie Jin.
She didn't want to marry anyone else.
Therefore, she tried her best to recommend Xie Jin to her father, hoping that her father would change his mind.
Fortunately, hard work pays off. With only two days left before the imperial examination, his father was willing to meet Xie Jin.
At this time, Xie Jin, who was checking the things he brought into the examination room, received an invitation from the Prime Minister's Mansion.
He didn't hesitate and went to the appointment.
Because he knew that hesitation was meaningless to him.
Since he is not yet strong enough to be matched by others, he can only face all difficulties head-on.
He guessed that the imperial examination the day after tomorrow might not be peaceful.
You may be warned to give way.
Or, simply end up in an unknown place, like Qian Tong's fate.
But what he didn't expect was that in the dilapidated temple that day, the prime minister's daughter had developed feelings for him.
But from what the Prime Minister said, he was not optimistic about me.
He is not a good person to begin with. Since something has been plotted against him, he will definitely retaliate.
Therefore, he promised the prime minister that if he could pass the imperial examination, he would definitely send three letters and six offers of employment.
Moreover, he did not need the Prime Minister to do anything for him, just wait for his exams to be over, and he would not let him down.
As he expected, the Prime Minister hesitated.
Compared to the top scholar who needs to operate behind the scenes, the one who has real talent in front of him is obviously better.
But he was, after all, an old fox who had been immersed in officialdom for many years. It was just one more option, so there was naturally no need for him to think too much about it.
With the Prime Minister's protection, Xie Jin was not troubled during the exam, but of course he was not treated well either.
But in comparison, some students’ pens suddenly broke or they had a stomachache one day after taking the exam and missed an exam.
And without exception, those students had performed brilliantly in the provincial examinations.
Compared to them, he is indeed much better.
After the imperial examination, Xie Jin passed the examination and became a member as expected.
On the day of the announcement of the results, he was also tricked by the Prime Minister's men into marrying him.
At first, he secretly cursed this old fox.
He was unwilling to even wait for the palace examination.
Unexpectedly, after the palace examination, he felt somewhat relieved.
At the same time, he was helpless because his trip to the capital had made him a hot commodity.
There is the prime minister's daughter in front and the princess behind.
If it weren't for Prime Minister Xia's announcement to find a husband, I would have been randomly matched up by the emperor.
Being assigned to the princess was much more troublesome than getting rid of the prime minister's daughter.
And he doesn't like trouble.
Trouble means that I will see Ayin later.
He really missed her.
So, in order to deal with it, he had to suppress the urge to come back to see Ayin.
Prime Minister Xia had already thoroughly investigated his identity and background, so after passing the exam, he, who had no blood relationship with Ayin, wanted to distance himself from her.
In Prime Minister Xia's eyes and heart, this was the most normal thing.
His ingratitude was actually more to his liking.
In the past two years, he has been negotiating with Prime Minister Xia, postponing the wedding date again and again.
He knew that Prime Minister Xia's patience had reached its critical point.
However, he was not afraid.
Prime Minister Xia is a veteran minister who has served three dynasties. His power is deeply intertwined and it is difficult for him, a newly promoted top scholar, to shake his power.
But, was he there for him?
So, later on, the more Prime Minister Xia got angry, the more flaws he revealed. Just when he was about to close the net, something unexpected happened.
Thinking back to this, Xie Jin suddenly stopped. He stared at Qingyin, a trace of guilt welling up in his eyes, "Sister, I'm sorry..."
Qingyin suddenly reached out and touched Xie Jin's head at this moment, "You have done very well. I now know that you didn't contact me for so long because you wanted to protect me. This is not your fault."
Xie Jin, however, was so arrogant that he moved the stool next to Qingyin and sat next to her.
Perhaps it was because there was a wooden beam between them, Xie Jin felt it was not enough.
He simply carried Qingyin and sat on the recliner next to him.
The recliner swayed with a creaking sound, and Qingyin was startled. "Hurry up and put me down. The legs of this recliner were broken once before. Don't break them again."
Xie Jin ignored it, stretched out her hand and adjusted her position, letting Qingyin nestle in her arms, "Well, that's good."
Qingyin: “…”
What's the difference between this and just now?
Aren’t they still two… people!
