It would be better to go alone to deliver roasted chestnuts with sugar to Ying Qinghan and Ying Qingheng. It would be better to just let them come out and eat together and chat together. It would be so lively.
"younger sister."
Ying Qinghan and Ying Qingheng came out of the room and saw Ying Qingci in the crowd, with a tiny glint in their eyes.
"Brother, fourth cousin, you are here, come and try these roasted chestnuts."
"good."
The sugar-roasted chestnuts are cooked at just the right temperature, and the skin is now even easier to peel. You can peel them off with just one peel, revealing the plump flesh inside.
Ying Qingjia took one bite after another and enjoyed it. "Sister, this is so delicious, waxy and even sweet. This sweetness is different from the sweetness of ordinary sugar."
"Yes, this thing is so delicious."
In a short time, there were a lot of chestnut shells on the ground. Ying Qinghao also ate a lot, and even Zhu Qing, who always ate less, ate a lot.
Ying Qingci didn't eat much. She glanced at her eldest brother and fourth cousin opposite, "Brother, fourth cousin, how are you preparing for the exam?"
"Brother Akan is better prepared. I decided... I'd better not take the exam."
Ying Qingheng blushed and spoke with some embarrassment. He didn't want to add any more burden to them.
"Fourth cousin, what problem did you encounter?" Ying Qingci put down the chestnut in her hand and looked at him with a worried look.
It was Ying Qinghan who spoke for him, "A Heng has too much burden on his heart, so he has no confidence in himself."
He and A Heng grew up together since childhood, and Ying Qinghan was very clear about his knowledge. A Heng's talent was definitely not inferior to that of ordinary scholars, but his family was poor and did not have any extra money to study.
It was he who delayed Ah Heng.
Ying Qingci looked at their expressions and guessed what Ying Qingheng was thinking.
"Fourth cousin, have you seen the big house our family has now?"
"Yeah." Ying Qingheng was stunned and nodded subconsciously.
"Our family not only has a big house, but also a winery under construction. In the future, our family will not be short of money. We need to find a big backer. Think about it, if you gain fame, isn't it? Is this our big backer?”
"Brother Ahan can do it too..."
"Fourth cousin, would anyone be dissatisfied with having many backers?"
Ying Qingheng shook his head. Of course, no one would dislike having many backers. The more backers, the more confidence the family will have.
"That's it, just relax. You don't have to worry about our family."
"good."

Songyang Academy registered today. Ying Qingci got up early. Her two brothers were going to register. How could they miss her?
"My darling, be careful." Huang Xuecao warned uneasily. After saying that, he looked at Ying Qinghan, "Ahan, you have to take good care of your darling."
"Don't worry, grandma."
"That's good."
Shili Town is particularly lively today, because Songyang Academy is open for registration today. This time, everyone, whether they are students from poor families or high-ranking nobles, want to give it a try.
After all, this time, it was the headmaster of Songyang Academy who personally accepted the disciples.
As for those students from poor families, they all wanted to give it a try on the basis that they would be exempted from paying tuition fees if they came first.
After all, if they succeed, they will have a bright future in this life, which can be said to have changed their destiny.
Entering Shili Town, Ying Qingci and the others headed directly towards Songyang Academy.
at the same time
In Tianxiang Tower, Nan Xiangyun's eyes fell on the lively crowd at the bottom of the building. The tea cup was swaying in his hand, but his eyes were looking at the young man opposite.
"Why did you come back so soon this time?"
He was surprised. It usually took him ten days and a half to go back. This time, why did he come back in just a few days?
Was the matter settled so quickly?
Hearing his words, the man opposite him just gave a cold hum without saying much.
"Eh? Isn't that Miss Ying?"
As Nan Xiangyun finished speaking, the man opposite him moved his brows slightly, and then his eyes fell.
Sure enough, I saw Ying Qingci in the crowd, and she was accompanied by two men, presumably her brother.
I got news a few days ago that one of her cousins has come back, and he should be the person next to her.
Yes, this young man is Geng Hanchu, who left the Ying family and returned to the capital.
Nan Xiangyun glanced at him and said slowly, "Your Highness, do you still remember the person I told you about who saved me before?"
Geng Hanchu frowned, looked at him, and finally said the only two words today: "Is it her?"
"Yes." Nan Xiangyun nodded, with a flash of emotion in his eyes. Who would have thought that by such a coincidence, she would save the two of them?
"She is very kind at heart." Speaking of Ying Qingci, a smile flashed across Geng Hanchu's eyes.
Nan Xiangyun glanced at him with a sour face, but she was thinking in her heart, kind? Well, he is indeed kind. After all, he saved him twice.
However, the love of money is also the true love of money.
However, this is normal. A gentleman loves money and gets it in the right way! What's more, their family's situation at that time really needed money, and who doesn't love money?
After Geng Hanchu finished speaking, his eyes fell on Ying Qingci.
Ying Qingci, who was walking, always felt that someone was watching her. She subconsciously raised her head and looked around. She found no suspicious person, and left the place with Ying Qinghan and Ying Qingheng.
After she left, Geng Hanchu looked down again, but Ying Qingci was no longer there.
"This little girl is really sharp."
She could notice such secretive glances. It can only be said that the little girl is not simple. Also, if she was really simple, how could she have saved him safely on the way to escape?
"Today is the registration day for Songyang Academy. Do you want to go and have a look?"
"Hey, don't refuse in a hurry. This little girl is with her brother. Judging from the direction they are going, they probably signed up at Songyang Academy."
Nan Xiangyun didn't give Geng Hanchu a chance to speak.
"Let's go." Geng Hanchu glanced at him. He originally planned to go. After all, he hadn't seen the little girl for a long time.
There was already a long queue at the entrance of Songyang Academy.
Ying Qingci and the others arrived relatively early, so their row position was a little further in the middle.
"There are so many people."
I don’t know who made a sigh, and then the person next to me took over the conversation.
"That's natural. Why don't you take a look at who the headmaster of Songyang Academy is? How many people come here because of his reputation?"
"What's more, this time the mountain chief personally recruits disciples, so these scholars naturally want to give it a try."
…
In a corner of the queue corridor, a gaze fell on Ying Qingci.
He was startled and quickly spoke to the ugly-looking young man next to him.
"Master, look, is this the person who disrespected you in Tianxiang Tower that day?"
