   Chapter 730 Palace Exam

   Kou's house entertained the Qiao Mo brothers and sisters very solemnly. Mrs. Xue changed her usual serious appearance and didn't say anything with a smile. The two brothers and sisters' grandfather Kou Xing and two uncles took a special leave to celebrate.

  Qiao Wan uncomfortably pulled Rachomo's sleeve.

  Qiao Mo patted Qiao Wan's hand quietly to appease him.

   Mrs. Xue said with a smile: "It's a big girl after a while. It's rare to be happy today, Mother Qing, you go and invite a few girls and brothers over, everyone will be lively."

   Kou Zimo and Kou Qinglan are sitting in the garden pavilion, saying that they are watching flowers, but in fact they are all thinking about the Qiao Mo brothers and sisters coming.

"Eldest sister, this time you can finally keep the clouds open and see the moon. My cousin has recovered his appearance and won Huiyuan again. Grandfather and grandmother will definitely be happy to see it succeed." Kou Qinglan was very happy for her sister, with a relaxed smile on her face .

   Kou Zimo was not as happy as Kou Qinglan, instead he frowned and a wry smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

   "Sister, why am I unhappy when I look at you?"

   Kou Zimo gently tugged at the veil: "How can you be unhappy. It's a great joy for my cousin to come after all his hardships."

   "Two girls, the old lady invites you to come over." A maid came over.

   Kou Qinglan stood up immediately, seeing Kou Zimo not moving, he stretched out his hand to pull her: "Eldest sister, let's go."

   Kou Zimo covered his abdomen and shook his head gently: "I feel a little uncomfortable. I want to go back to the room to rest, so I won't go out to see the guests. My sister will tell my grandmother for me."

   "Big sister?" Kou Qinglan was very surprised, looking at Kou Zimo with a surprised expression.

No one is more aware of the eldest sister's affection for her cousin than her. Since the cousin's disfigurement, the eldest sister has not slept well for a day. This time, the cousin returned to Beijing after recovering her appearance. The always calm eldest sister dragged her and got drunk. Brother is going to take the exam, and the eldest sister is praying every day, looking forward to my cousin's high school.

   What's the matter with eldest sister now?

   "Qing Lan, I'm really not feeling well, just tell your grandmother as I said."

   "Sister, then I'll accompany you back to your room."

   "No, just stay with me, you can go."

   Kou Zimo comforted her sister to go back to the room alone, and sent the maid out as soon as she entered the room, closed the door, and closed her eyes in pain with her back against the door.

   In the past, when her cousin was in the mansion, the elders generally prevented her from contacting her cousin, but now they tell her to meet her cousin in the past.

How could someone as smart as   cousin not understand the meaning, and how could she have any face in the past?

   She and her cousin are doomed to miss this life.

   Kou Zimo squatted down slowly, covering his face with his hands and crying silently.

   "What, Zimo is not feeling well?" Madam Xue's eyes flashed with surprise.

   Kou Qinglan glanced at Qiao Mo quickly from the corner of his eye, nodded and said, "Well, the eldest sister may have suffered from wind and abdominal pain, so I can't say that I will come to see you."

   Mrs. Xue frowned as soon as she heard it: "What did this girl say, how come Mo'er is a guest? You are cousins. Except for your own brothers and sisters, no one is closer than you."

   Qiao Wan, who was sitting beside Qiao Mo, pursed her lips when she heard it.

   She is a prostitute, and she really has no blood relationship with these people present. It is no wonder that the old lady never smiled at her when she lived in Kou Mansion.

  Qiao Wan was like sitting on pins and needles, but the pride of being a Qiao family forced her not to bow her head. The little girl straightened her spine and looked serious.

  Qiao Mo saw it in his eyes, distressed and funny, and continued: "Since the big cousin is not feeling well, let her rest well. In the afternoon, Lord Hou asked me to go out to meet friends, and I and Wanwan can't stay for long."

   Hearing what Qiao Mo said, it was inconvenient for Kou Shangshu and others to stay, so they sent the brother and sister back after the meal.

   When drinking tea in private, Mrs. Xue's face darkened slightly: "What the **** is this girl thinking about, Zimo, without the slightest wink!"

Kou Xing gently blew the tea leaves floating on the water: "What's the hurry, Qiao Mo is still in the period of filial piety, is it possible for us grandfather and grandmother to take the initiative to mention his marriage? Where would we put our eldest sister? "

   The "eldest sister" in Kou Xingze's mouth is Qiao Mo's mother and the eldest daughter of Kou Xingze and his wife, so at this time, no one can mention Qiao Mo's marriage, and they can't mention a single word.

   "It is precisely because it is inconvenient to mention that they are allowed to have more contact, so it is only logical to wait for Qiao Mo's filial piety."

   Kou Xing sighed: "Qiao Mo certainly understands the mind of that girl Zi Mo, but I can't see the mind of Qiao Mo's child. You should not interfere, and we will talk about it when he is out of filial piety."

   Sitting on the carriage back to the house, Qiao Wan heaved a sigh of relief: "It's time to go back, I have to go horseback riding in the afternoon, the little pony my brother-in-law gave me has grown taller."

"are you full?"

  Qiao Wan blushed and shook his head: "I'm not full, I just don't feel comfortable for some reason, and then I can't eat anymore."

   "Then let's not go back to the mansion first. Big brother will take you to Desheng Building to buy some food."

   Qiao Wan's eyes lit up: "Okay, I want to eat roast duck."

   At this time, the Desheng Building was bustling, Qiao Mo ordered the servant to buy roast duck and bring it back to the house to eat. The brother and sister sat in the carriage and waited.

  Qiao Wan felt bored and lifted the curtain of the car to look out.

  There is a study not far from Desheng Building. Two girls walked out together, one in a pink dress, the other in a blue shirt, with a maid behind each, holding a book in their arms.

   "Brother, do you know who they are?" Qiao Wan stepped aside and pulled Qiao Mo to see.

  Qiao Mo took one look and then retracted his gaze, pulled down the curtains of the car, and said with a smile, "How do you know Big Brother?"

   The two girls, the girl in the pink dress is the girl from Taining Hou's mansion, and the girl in the blue shirt is the girl from Xu Ge's hometown. Qiao Mo has a good memory and can recognize it at a glance.

"Both of them are the vice presidents of Fushan Club. No wonder they are famous. I came to buy roast duck, but they bought so many books. Brother, I will not be fun anymore, and I will join Fu in a few years. Mountain Club."

   "Okay, work hard lately."

   "By the way, eldest brother, Sister Li was so majestic at a banquet a few months ago. She won several competitions with people from Xijiang. The girl Xu also gave her beloved guqin to Sister Li."

  Qiao Mo's brows moved slightly, and his expression became more serious: "Really? So, Miss Xu and your sister Li have a good relationship?"

  The two sides have the same position, and they are on good terms with the eldest sister. It can be seen that the girl Xu has the best character, maybe—

  Qiao Mo was a little embarrassed when he thought of this, he coughed lightly and did not speak.

  Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, the palace exam is ushered in.

  Ming Kangdi looked at the ten excellent scrolls in front of him with a red pen in hand.

There are three copies of    in the most conspicuous position, which are the top three in the test.

  Ming Kangdi hastily read it one by one, and his eyes fell on the test paper with the word "Qiao Mo" written on it.

  These ten exam papers were selected by the grading minister from the three hundred exam papers and presented to the imperial examination. In his opinion, which three were rated as the first A, but in order to avoid trouble, the exam results were the most important reference.

  Qiao Mo—
