C74

That woman was someone sent by the Ministry of Rites, and the Assistant Minister of Ministry of Rites was Ji Yun, who was also Ji Hao Lin's father.

The carriage was very quiet, and Mo Qian Zhu was a bit nervous. Her fingers were clenched tightly as they hung by her side, she looked at that old woman several times, as if she wanted to ask about something but didn't dare to.

She knew the identities of these two people, and that they were not on stage. Especially Mo Wei Nong, who had a dark and gloomy face with a few dark circles under his eyes. Amongst all the young misses, perhaps he would not even be able to catch a glimpse of them, and would be washed away today, not to mention the few rounds after.

As for Mo Qian Zhu, she was a little delicate and pretty, but she was not very outstanding. Looking at her nervous expression, one could tell that she could not compare to those aristocratic young ladies who had seen much of the world.

The wife secretly shook her head, a little annoyed that she had been assigned to Zhuang Zi's side, without any chance at all.

Mo Wei Nong had been closing his eyes the entire time to rest. She was acutely aware that the woman was looking at his own face, so the corner of his mouth slightly hooked up.

After a long while, as if Mo Qian Zhu finally made preparations mentally, she saw that Mo Wei Nong's eyes were closed, as if he was asleep.

The old woman was stunned. She didn't expect that this little girl was quite tactful. Immediately, she smiled and turned her head to look at her.

Mo Qian Zhu heaved a sigh of relief, then softly asked, "Grandma, do you know what the first round of the examination is about?"

The woman put the bag back into her sleeve and said with a smile, "In the past, the first round would usually be an examination of appearances. "The girls lined up in several rows so that the palace maids and maids could take a look at them one by one. If more than half of them think that one person's appearance is unsatisfactory, they won't be able to make it to the second round."

With that, the woman looked at Mo Wei Nong. Seeing her fingers move slightly, she knew that she had not fallen asleep yet. Immediately, he scoffed lightly, and the volume increased by a few points, "Third Miss Mo, don't worry. With your appearance, you will definitely not be a problem in the first round. When the time comes, you don't have to be nervous, you can just stand there. After all, you don't have any blemishes on your face, unlike some people who are anxious to get angry and have pimples. "

Mo Qian Zhu knew she was talking about Mo Wei Nong, so she pursed her lips and glanced at his.

He knew that there wasn't anything special about the first round, and he didn't need to perform, so he was a lot more at ease. He immediately nodded at the woman with a grateful smile and said, "Thank you for your guidance, mama."

In fact, it was not exactly a guide, but an inquiry was made by an ordinary person in the first round of the female envoy's selection examination. Mo Qian Zhu asked so she could calm down and calm down.

The carriage quieted down once again, and no one spoke a word.

Mo Wei Nong kept his eyes closed the entire time, but his mind was working extremely quickly.

She was thinking about the assassination organization and the news that Shen Qian had sent over last night had another request to make. This time, the fee was even higher than last time and the other party was from the martial arts industry, which made it harder.

But according to Shen Qian's words, since the other party was only a bit cunning, it would not be difficult to deal with him.

There was more than enough for Shen Tu to take it, he had come to ask Mo Wei Nong if he would be able to receive it.

Accept. Of course. The deposit is three thousand taels of silver and you can get twenty thousand for completing the mission.

Other than giving Shen Yin 30% of her mission silver, the rest of the silver from the previous mission had gone to the yard to buy furniture to buy daily necessities. After giving 200 taels of silver to each of them, she didn't have much left on her hands.

"Pfft …"

Just as Mo Wei Nong was lost in thought, the carriage suddenly stopped.

She opened her eyes and saw that the woman had already lifted the curtain. She turned her head and said to the two of them, "We're already here. Two misses, please come down."

Mo Qian Zhu casually jumped down, but Mo Wei Nong still casually jumped down.

"..." The corners of the woman's mouth twitched while the carriage driver and the receptionist's mouth twitched.

The place they came from was a manor called Imperial Garden. The first few rounds were all taken here for the examination, but only at the last round would they meet Emperor Queen at the palace.

There were already quite a few girls in the garden, and one could hear their delicate laughter from afar.

Mo Wei Nong and Mo Qian Zhu followed behind a servant who was leading the way, and walked silently.

After walking for a while, Mo Qian Zhu couldn't help but look at Mo Wei Nong and say, "You haven't been staying in Zhuang Zi's place these past few days right?"

"Hmm?"

"Even though the Jia mama and Su Mei did not see anything, if one person was truly inside Zhuang Zi, it would be impossible for the both of them to not even see the slightest movement. Not to mention you, even your maidservants haven't seen anyone. This isn't normal. "

Mo Wei Nong finally looked at her, and said with a smile that was not a smile: "And then?"

"Where did you go?"

"Does it have anything to do with you?"

Mo Qian Zhu frowned, she turned her head to look at Mo Wei Nong's nonchalant appearance, and suddenly felt a sense of defeat.

After a long while, she then said softly, "You don't have to be so against me, the one who caused you to enter Zhuang Zi was not me, and the one who hit your servant was also not me. We are not enemies, and it could even be said that amongst the Candidates for the throne, I am the only one close to you, and we need to help each other. "

Mo Wei Nong rolled his eyes, how could she tell that he was targeting her?

Heaven knows she didn't want any help at all. All she wanted was the beautiful exit after the first round.

Ignoring her, Mo Wei Nong took a small step forward.

Seeing that, Mo Qian Zhu knew she did not want to talk to him anymore. She was a little stuffy. The Mo Wei Nong she had always looked down upon, was actually disdainful to talk to her?

She shut up and said nothing.

The two of them soon arrived at the courtyard. Many pretty and pretty ladies of the Shangguan Family and even ordinary girls were gathered together in groups of three or five, talking and laughing.

Seeing the two enter, the crowd didn't think much of it.

Only a few people flashed a look of disdain and ridicule when they saw Mo Wei Nong's inconspicuous appearance and dressing.

Mo Wei Nong did not think so, the leading servant had already stopped and said to the two: "The two misses can rest here, when everyone is present, there will be people who will bring everyone to the hall to inspect it. Your servant will take my leave first. "

After saying that, the servant girl bowed and left.

Mo Qian Zhu turned her head and looked around the whole courtyard, only to realize that although there were a lot of people, there were not many, and they had arrived early.

"Wait until everyone is here? Wouldn't it take a long time? "

Mo Wei Nong cast a sidelong glance at her, and said indifferently, "I won't, at most in a quarter of an hour."

"How do you know?" Mo Qian Zhu frowned, "Currently, there are only 30-40 people. You must know that there are over a hundred people at every female envoy selection, don't you still have to wait for a few hours?"
