Suddenly realizing that in the future she would have to spend time with Li Zhao's concubines and beauties, and might even have to repeat the palace battles that the heroine had experienced in her previous life, Song Qingyue's mind was filled with the word "escape from marriage".

But seeing her two brothers preparing for the imperial examination, she couldn't really escape from the marriage.

But the anxiety and fear in her heart accumulated little by little as the days passed.

She chose to knit sweaters sullenly. She had not done this for many years, and she had to start over and explore many things step by step, such as how to knit sleeves and how to knit shoulders. Although she had dismantled and reknitted several times, in general she was still good at it.

Consider it a success.

The wool sent from Zhuangzi this time is thicker and can be knitted quickly.

On the day of the imperial examination, Song Qingyue's first finished sweater was already in the final stages.

Generally speaking, the final ranking of the palace examination is similar to that of the general examination. However, this dynasty is divided into two examination rooms, the north and the south. During the palace examination, Nanjing's tributes will go north to take the palace examination, and the results of the palace examination will be announced in the afternoon of the same day.

published.

This time, the entire Song family did not wait at home. Instead, they rented a private room facing the street at Xiankelai, the largest restaurant near Chongwenmen. This place is close to the imperial city, and Jinshi scholars will also pass by here when they parade to praise their officials.

side.

Each of the Song sisters had a pair of knitting needles and kept knitting in their hands. Song Yaxin and Song Yuxi's scarves were almost finished. Song Qianqian had also learned it recently, but she had just started.

On Song Qingyue's side, a round-necked sweater has already taken shape. She is knitting the collar part. The sweater will probably be finished by the time her two brothers parade around in Jinshi uniforms!

At this time, the fourth son Song Chenrui, who was lying by the window, shouted: "Mom, I saw Gu Er! He has already entered the store!"

After a while, there was a rush of footsteps outside the door. Gu Er seemed to have stumbled and almost rolled in. However, this did not stop him from shouting with great joy: "Madam, our second young master.

, Yijia Tanhua!"

Wow!

Not only did the Song family's private room erupt with joyful sounds, but there was also movement in the neighboring rooms. Gu Er's voice must have been loud enough to hear them all.

Mrs. Liang excitedly hugged her eldest daughter, and the whole family was extremely happy. Mother Xu even knelt down on the spot and bowed three times in the direction of the palace.

Unexpectedly, I was ranked 19th in the general examination and got a first-class Jinshi in the palace examination! It must be because of my good looks that I took advantage!

Don't tell me, it's really like that.

There were fifty people who entered the hall to be questioned by the emperor. Song Chenxu was only eighteen years old, the youngest among them. He had a face like a crown jewel, with red lips and white teeth, making people fall in love with him upon seeing him.

The emperor was already very interested in Song Jianming's two sons, but Song Dalang's strategy was quite satisfactory, ranking outside the fifties. He had no chance to ask questions. However, Song Erlang's article discussing the issue of land annexation was placed in the top twenty.

When the emperor asked the question, the second son of Song Dynasty was very nervous, but he had traveled to many places in the past few years, and had seen with his own eyes how his father developed the people's livelihood and economy in a place, and he was often influenced by his third sister on weekdays.

, he is a savvy person, with bold and innovative ideas in his mind. He directly proposed that workers of "gentlemen, farmers, industry and commerce" should not be ranked after agriculture. Now with corn, potatoes, and sweet potatoes, the people are able to fill their stomachs.

After that, we should improve the status of craftsmen in various types of work, vigorously develop "industrial technology", "agriculture stabilize the country, and industry rejuvenate the country." He also cited some of his experiences in Lingnan and Jiangnan, and explained with reason and evidence why the development of industry

It will not affect agriculture, but will promote agricultural development.

He said these things more and more smoothly. Although his views were very bold, no one could refute him for a while.

The emperor's eyes lit up the more he listened, especially when Song Chenxu mentioned the matter of building cement roads, how to mobilize material exchanges from various places, how to replenish the national treasury, and how to strengthen the central government's control over remote places, the emperor said three things in a row

Well, I selected him as the top pick on the spot, directly breaking his father Song Jianming's record of being the top pick at the age of nineteen.

Song Qingyue smiled and joked: "Our brother is just too good-looking, otherwise he would not be the number one scholar."

Mrs. Liang wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes with a handkerchief, cried and laughed, and said: "Stop talking nonsense, Your Majesty, Your Majesty, has appointed your second brother to be the third most beautiful girl. Long live Your Majesty!"

After saying that, she knelt on the ground, kowtowed to the imperial city three times, wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and said to Xu's mother: "Today, the whole government is rewarded! Don't miss out the sweepers and gatekeepers, they are all rewarded!"

The servants cheered, and Liang said again: "By the way, send people to Princess Duanyi's Mansion, Duke Wei's Mansion and Prince Su's Mansion to report the good news!"

This is a very long-faced thing. I must tell the in-laws of these three families who have eyes in the sky that my Song family not only has Song Gelao who is an outstanding person, but the sons he has raised are also amazing!

There is a successor!

After a cup of tea, the lists of the second, third, and fellow Jinshi were also posted one after another. The eldest son, Song Chenhai, ranked sixty-six in the second class, which is a very auspicious number; Tong Jiuye, Tong Xiyan, ranked eighty-seven in the second class, Song

There are one hundred and twenty-four in Jianshu's second class, and their rankings are better than those in the general examination. Everyone is very happy.

Especially the Thirteenth Master Song Jianshu, his ranking was not very good during the general examination. He was particularly afraid of getting a third-level Jinshi. If he got the same Jinshi, it would be equivalent to an unlimited extension of the internship period, which would be equivalent to failing in the examination. It would be worse than failing in the general examination.

, because there is no chance to take the exam again.

Thank God, although the ranking is not very good, as long as you are in the second class and your clan brother Song Ge is at the top, you will have a lot of room to maneuver when sending officials in the future.

But if he gets the top three, even if Song Jianming is the elder, he can't save him.
