The first month of the year came out, and the grand final exam was the period. Both Xun Junhui and Xun Junxi were out of the examination room. Master Xun had high expectations for Xun Junhui and only hoped that his younger son would be on the list of gold. Xun Qingran was also worried about his younger brother, but her worries were a little different from Master Xun. She always felt that this test was actually a physical job, and she was afraid that his younger brother would not be able to stand it. As for whether he was in his hometown in Yingchuan, the situation was no longer as good as when he was in his hometown in Yingchuan. Xun Junhui was just young, and it would be just a few more years to study. Instead, she didn't want Xun Junhui to enter the official career too early.

As a result, when the list was released, Xun Junhui was ranked 21st in the first place, and Xun Junxi was also on the list, but he was ranked 132nd in the last place.

When Xun Qingran received the good news, she was also happy for her younger brother and immediately went back and forth to Rong and Mrs. Qi.

"I've long seen that the child is not a thing in the pool. Now in high school, it's time to fly. Ran Yatou has a good brother. I don't have any good things, just some Huimo and two good inkstones collected by the Duke of the State before. It's my intention to find it to send it to your brother."

Rong Shile was so happy that she ordered the girl to open a warehouse to add a bright spot to Junhui.

Mrs. Qi also took some rice paper and came out with a red ruler. She asked Xun Qingran to give her a generous gift to the Xun family. Xun Qingran did it one by one.

On the Xun family, Master Xun was also overjoyed. Not only was he happy that his youngest son was in high school, but also because of this incident, after a lot of bad luck in the Xun family, Master Xun could finally be proud.

Because there was a palace examination after the exam, and the palace examination only tested policy discussions, Xun Junhui was still studying at Lushan Academy. Xun Qingran was thinking about his younger brother, but because Lushan had never been to, he reported to Rong and the second wife of Qi to visit his younger brother. Rong naturally agreed. Xun Qingran discussed with Qi You again and chose Qi You to rest for a rest day, and the two of them came to Lushan Academy together.

Lushan is located in the northwest corner of the capital. Lushan Academy is located on the hillside. It is a lecture hall of Confucianism in the previous dynasty. It was organized, repaired and expanded by people today and has become what it is today. Because it is already February, the grass and trees are growing, the air in the mountains is fresh and the scenery is quite good. The tender yellow welcoming spring, pink peach blossoms, snow-white pear blossoms, red apricot blossoms, and unknown wild flowers in the mountains are everywhere. Xun Qingran came to visit his younger brother, and secondly, he was bored at home for a long time. He just came out to breathe and spent more than half a day before he left Junhui for a return trip.

Xun Qingran talked about the four scenic spots of the capital mentioned by Prince Kang last time.

"It's getting late today, just look from afar." Qi Youru said.

Therefore, when I returned, I took a detour and walked on the Lion Forest Street. Baopu Garden was located at the foot of Lushan Mountain and was built along the mountain. Xun Qingran only glanced at the pink and white walls, as well as the maple trees far and near inside the walls. Those maple trees showed that they had been in the past and now it was spring. They only saw dense branches and a light green area in the distance. You can imagine what the scenery would be like when the maple leaves were red in autumn.

Zhiyuan, but in the middle of Lion Forest Street, there is another scene. The high palace walls, the walls are covered with lush trees and lush trees. Xun Qingran remembered the story that Zhiyuan was the residence of a prince of this dynasty, and many rare flowers and trees were specially moved. Because there are hot springs in the garden, the scenery in the garden is like spring. Because the prince died early and had no descendants, Zhiyuan was taken back by the royal family and became the emperor's palace.

After leaving the Lion Forest Street and turning east, it was the last pear garden in the four scenic spots. Xun Qingran slightly raised the curtains and saw the snow-white pear blossoms in the walls from afar. Gradually approaching, it turned out that the pear garden was also guarded by the guards. Qi Yi once told Xun Qingran that the pear garden was originally the residence of Prince Yonghe. This prince was unruly and obsessed with mixed studies. His favorite was the opera opera of the pear garden. He even ignored the royal tradition and personally appeared on the stage. He imitated Emperor Ming of Tang and planted pear blossoms in the garden, which became what he is today.

The four scenic spots in the capital, except for the plum garden, have already changed ownership. The scenery in the garden is still the same, but things change. Xun Qingran held a trace of willow catkins floating in from the crack of the curtain, and felt a little emotion.

"Grandma, look at that person, he looks so familiar, it seems to be Madam Xue!"

Mai Le and Xun Qingran were sitting in the same car, pointing to a place outside the car for Xun Qingran to see.

The corner door of the Liyuan Garden opened, and a woman came out from inside with her pear blossom branches in her hand, thanked the guards at the gate, and hurriedly turned around and left the carriage waiting beside her.

"I know the maid who drove the car, isn't Lao Ding?" Baozhu also pointed to the carriage lane.

Xun Qingran naturally saw it. The woman holding a flower branch looked like Madam Xue, and the person who drove the car would not be wrong. She was Lao Ding, the coachman of Xun's mansion.

Looking at the carriage that was leaving, Xun Qingran frowned slightly. Her carriage was marked by the Qi Mansion, and Qi You was riding a horse in front. With Madam Xue's eyesight, she didn't see it or say hello, which was a bit beyond her expectations. Seeing Madam Xue's hurried look, she seemed to not want to be seen.

Xun Qingran thought about it and slowed down the carriage. She also sent Baozhu out of the carriage and said that she would also need a few pear blossoms.

Baozhu came back with Lihua in her arms.

"What's going on? Have you found out clearly?" Xun Qingran asked Baozhu in the carriage.

"The Fourth Master sent someone to tell the guard that the guard was visiting and asked the servant to go in and break these branches." Baozhu asked Xun Qingran to look at the pear blossoms in her arms.

"Then you didn't go to inquire?" Malt asked hurriedly.

"My maid also arrived at the corner gate. When the person was not paying attention, she gave the guard some money and asked him about it. The guard said that he didn't know anything about Madam Xue. The maid scared him. He said that he really didn't know Madam Xue. Madam Xue begged him. After going in, he broke two flowers and came out. The guard refused to check the cash, and begged him not to tell him."

Xun Qingran was speechless after hearing this for a while. According to the attitude of the guard guard, the money he had to get from Madam Xue must be quite high before he was willing to let Madam Xue in. If he wanted to appreciate pear blossoms, there were two plants in the Xun family's garden. Why do you need to travel to most of the capital to come to this pear garden? Why do you need to spend a lot of money? What is special about the pear blossoms in the pear garden?

"Grandma, I'll give my maid a bunch of pear blossoms. Sister Kikyo likes pear blossoms the most. Unfortunately, she's sick these days, and she can't do such a good thing today. The maid takes the pear blossoms back and keeps them in the house so that Sister Kikyo will be happy." Maiya begged Xun Qingran.

Xun Qingran nodded, "It's rare to come out, but she feels uncomfortable. After passing by Li Ji, I remember to send the servant to buy some Polygonum multiflorum cakes, which is what she likes to eat."

The malt agreed crisply.

Xun Qingran took a bunch of pear blossoms and put them on her nose to smell them. It was indeed a light and elegant fragrance, but it was still pear blossoms.
