The little novice bowed again after speaking, and then turned to leave.

When Zhong Li returned to the pavilion, the second wife had almost rested. She stood up with a smile and said, "Let's go, let's count the marriage."

Although she came here this time, it was mainly for Pei Xing, but she did not forget Gu Zhiqing. She was the first to help Gu Zhiqing to calculate, and the calculation of marriage required the birth date, but the result was not satisfactory.

The second wife couldn't help but sighed. Recently, Gu Zhiqing was still in trouble. She was bored in the room all day, and she didn't go out on the last festival. Before that, the second wife had softened her heart long ago. Thinking of her waywardness, she was cruel and didn't go. look at her.

She calmed down and reported Xiao Sheng's birthday. In her heart, Xiao Sheng was gentle and courteous, and he was very talented. He must have been liked by many noble girls. His marriage would have been smooth sailing.

When it comes to Pei Xing, it's not too good. It's really a twist and turns. The second wife sighed, and then looked at Zhong Li, "It's yours, right?"

Zhong Li smiled and said, "I don't count, let's go with the flow."

Although she has a gentle temperament, she has an idea, and the second wife did not force her. When she returned to the Hou residence, it was almost noon.

Knowing that the old lady was in a hurry, the second wife went directly to Yangxintang, while Zhong Li was worried about Chenger, so she went back to Zhaixing Pavilion.

After the second wife came to Yangxintang, she did not tell the truth to the old lady, but only said that Pei Xing and Xiao Sheng could achieve a positive result in the end, but they needed more patience.

The old lady was relieved when she heard the words.

Xiao Sheng did not step out of the study for several days, and stayed in the study at night. The palace exam was held on March 15, and there were only a dozen days left. There are only scattered pictures, most of which are related to Zhong Li. He doesn't know what the palace exam will be, and he doesn't dare to slack off at this moment. In order to prepare for the exam, he doesn't even pay attention to Zhong Li.

At noon, when Liu Shun came to deliver him a meal, he saw that the master was full of dark circles under his eyes, and he had lost a lot of weight. He felt distressed for a while, and advised him, "Young master, let's rest a little longer. Although the palace exam is important, you can't damage your body."

Xiao Sheng was indeed a little tired and put down the book in his hand.

Today is a sunny day, the sun shines in through the window, the room is full of sunlight, Xiao Sheng stood up and stretched, the dust in the sunlight fluttered slightly with his movements.

Liu Shun let the servant come in with a basin of clear water, and while waiting for him to clean his hands, he let the maid serve the meal. Afraid that his body would not be able to support him, the old lady specially instructed the kitchen to make him nutritious, and the meat and vegetables on the table were matched together. Four dishes, and a bowl of bird's nest.

When Xiao Sheng was eating, he asked about Zhong Li, "How is she doing?"

Liu Shun hurriedly said: "The servants have been sending people to stare at Zhexing Pavilion. Miss Zhong has been staying in the small courtyard recently, and did not go to find the third master at night. She has only been out of the house twice recently, once today, to the temple. Pray for blessings, once is the Shangsi Festival, in the morning I follow the second wife to help the third master see each other, and in the afternoon I take the young master to play."

Xiao Sheng listened carefully, and when he heard the word "seeing each other", the movement of picking vegetables paused slightly, and his jointed hands unconsciously clenched the chopsticks, "Have already met each other? Whose girl?"

What the second wife watched for Pei Xingxiang was not a secret. Xiao Sheng had heard about it a few years ago, and his face was very calm.

Liu Shun replied respectfully: "I saw it on the Shangsi Festival. It is Zheng Feiling of the Zheng family in Jinling, the most outstanding one of the younger generation."

Xiao Sheng has no impression of Zheng Feiling, but the Zheng family has been inherited for many years, and the rules of the girls in the house will never be bad. Since Zheng Feiling is the best one, she must be dignified and polite, a typical lady.

"How is the result?"

Liu Shun said, "the third master has already declined."

Xiao Sheng is not surprised, Pei Xing has always been unruly, and it is estimated that the most annoying person is the one who observes etiquette. Thinking of the matter between Zhong Li and Pei Xing, Xiao Sheng's chest was so tight, after a while, he mocked: "He doesn't even look down on the Zheng family girl, so naturally he can't marry her."

After seeing each other, Xu is able to make her remember for a long time. She can't see the situation anymore, she will suffer in the future.

Xiao Sheng simply ate something, and let the maid take away the plate.

In the west wing, Yingying and Ting'er were looking at each other. After being kicked out by Pei Xing, they were placed in the west wing by Liu Shun. Boredom, and in the boredom there is still a sense of uncertainty about the future.

Yingying was the first to break the silence, and said tenderly: "King Han, we can't climb up, in my opinion, we might as well serve Young Master Xiao, he doesn't even have a connecting room in his room, if we can make it happen, stay here. It's better to be by his side than to be sent away by him at will. Who knows what the other party's character is and whether he has any quirks."

The two came from Jiangnan together. After so many days on the road, they were already familiar with each other's temperament. Because they are beauties of different styles, Yingying didn't hate Tinger, and even felt a sense of pity for each other.

Ting'er was more introverted, and after hearing the words, she said in a low voice, "Master Liu didn't say that the master doesn't need us to serve you? What can we do?"

Seeing that she was not enlightened, Yingying hated that iron could not become steel, "The way is naturally thought of by people. If we continue to spend like this, we will only end up being sent away."

Ting'er didn't want to be sent away again. Xiao Sheng had a good bearing and good looks. It was not an exaggeration to say that he was a dragon and a phoenix. If he could serve him, it would naturally be excellent.

Tinger was still ignorant, so Yingying had to lean over and say something in her ear. Tinger's face turned red a little bit, and she shook her head again and again, "How did this happen?"

Yingying said: "Why not? If I had your appearance, I would have acted long ago. The look in your eyes from Young Master Xiao is clearly not indifferent."

Tinger understood that Young Master Xiao was just looking at others through her. In order to make her imitate Zhong Li, Liu Shun took her to take a peek at Zhong Li, and when she thought that there were such beautiful women in the world, Ting'er felt a sense of self-pity.

Seeing her silence, Yingying couldn't help poking her in the head, "Hey, you, so let's ask Liu Shun first to see who Mr. Xiao wants to give us to, if the other party is If you don't have any bad habits, you can try it if you are cruel? My sister is now relying on you."
