Because the stove in Gongyuan has been turned on, the wind blowing from that direction in the early morning is slightly warm. When everyone feels it, they will naturally talk about it, and then talk about other things.
Huo Lingjue turned around and laughed softly: "I heard Yun Qiao say that just before the Chinese New Year, a censor paid tribute to you and said that you were using your reputation to gain fame due to the snow disaster. He also said that the people of Yongzhou only knew about Shen Zhoujin and didn't know about it. The Emperor...Then the Emperor said, I will immediately send people to punish Shen Zhoujin, and I will make a big fanfare so that the people of Yongzhou know that there is an emperor? This emperor does nothing when there is a disaster, but after the disaster, the queen will settle the accounts. ?”
He laughed as he spoke, "The censor immediately stopped."
Shen Zhoujin was also a little funny. Emperor Wu Xuan really did not follow the ordinary path, did not speak ordinary words, and had the refreshing energy of a warrior everywhere.
Princess Changning said in a low voice: "Your Majesty has a heart as big as the sea, so he doesn't care about these things."
Shen Zhoujin nodded: "I know."
The family talked slowly and walked to the front of the Gongyuan.
After waiting outside for a short while, the voice of roll call came out. Huo Lingjue and the other two also picked up the test basket, lined up, and entered the Gongyuan one after another.
Shen Zhoujin grabbed her master's clothes and looked at her for a while, then pricked up her ears. She could hear Souzi searching her body inside, because the name Shen Zhoujin knew it was related to her as soon as she heard it, and Huo Ling behind him was definitely the same. The glass bowl looked like a family member, so Souzi was very polite and let them pass after looking at it.
The three of them, Shen Zhoujin and others, stood for a while, watching all the students go in, before turning around and going back.
After returning home, Shen Zhoujin sent Princess Changning back to sleep in her cage. When she came out, Divine Doctor Shen was waiting for her outside and said to her, "Jin'er, come here."
Shen Zhoujin coughed, knowing that the master had noticed, and quickly followed obediently back to Divine Doctor Shen. Shen Zhoujin cooked ginger soup for the master and held it in his hand.
Divine Doctor Shen reluctantly caught the bowl and hesitated to speak. After a while, he said: "Jin'er, don't mess around."
Shen Zhoujin said: "Why am I acting so nonsense?"
Divine Doctor Shen glared at her, and Shen Zhoujin chuckled: "But I think this is good."
Doctor Shen glared at her again: "No!"
"Why not?" Shen Zhoujin said deliberately: "Do you dislike my mother?"
"Of course not!" Doctor Shen was obviously a little embarrassed when talking to a child about this. He glanced at her and hesitated before saying, "I'm just a reckless wandering doctor..."
"Master," Shen Zhoujin said seriously: "If you care about people's words, my mother's reputation is not good. People in the world are so ignorant, even if she is the victim, there are always people who are mean-spirited and mean-spirited when things happen... And Master You, you are a world-famous miracle doctor and my master, Shen Zhoujin. Maybe many people think that my mother is not good enough for you?"
She hugged Master's arm: "Master, you know, my mother's temperament is too weak, I really don't worry about it, but mother is not a woman of the world. If she never marries, she will be even more self-loathing and self-contempt. ...Master, you are all the people I care about the most. If you can be together, I will be really happy."
"So master, don't think about status. These are all empty and useless. You only look at the ones who don't get along. If you can get along, we can live together for the rest of our lives. Senior brother and I can rest assured. You Both of us are happy, how good is it for our family to be like this?"
Nowadays, people get married early. Princess Changning has many children. In fact, she is not even forty yet, and Divine Doctor Shen is only just over forty. With her here, it is essential to live a hundred years, so she really hopes The two of them can be together and live the remaining decades well.
She looked at the master eagerly.
Divine Doctor Shen patted her back gently, hesitated for a long time, looked at her, and finally said solemnly: "Master understands."
Shen Zhoujin was immediately overjoyed.
The master is from the world of martial arts, he speaks eloquently, and he is a gentle and meticulous person. Since he said these words, it means that he is moved by his heart and has thought about it...
As for status, she had to deal with so many things, but they were all in the name of Divine Doctor Shen. Status and status were just a matter of raising her hand.
She left happily.
The county examination generally consists of four to five sessions, each session takes one day. Entrance is at dawn and papers are handed in before the lights are turned on. You can hand it in in advance.
So Shen Zhoujin had lunch and came over to wait. Sure enough, senior brother and Huo Ling came out at the front of the queue. Both of them were very leisurely, just like people who had nothing to do. They didn't need to rest when they got home, so they wrote the articles separately. , and showed it to Yu Zhiyuan.
Yu Zhiyuan looked at Shen Zhoumian and just nodded. But when he saw Huo Lingjue, he couldn't help but frowned and remained silent for a long time.
Shen Zhoujin became curious and took it over to take a look.
In fact, the threshold for the county examination is low, and you can pass as long as you are fluent in the first section. But obviously, neither senior brother nor Huo Lingjue intends to perfunctory, and each article is more exciting than the last.
Senior brother's article should be the favorite article among literati, and it is also the kind that examiners will like. It is the kind of gentleman who has a thorough view of the world and a clear-minded view of things, and is full of loyalty and patriotism.
But Huo Lingjue's article carries an indescribable offensive spirit, a fierce fighting spirit that "anyone who offends China will be punished no matter how far away it is."
Senior brother has indeed been studying for more than ten years, but Huo Lingjue's two lifetimes combined are longer than that of senior brother.
Moreover, the senior brother had not recovered from his heart disease before and had never thought about taking the imperial examination. He only studied for leisure. Huo Lingjue was taught by someone personally arranged by the emperor. He also personally handled state affairs and experienced the cruelest court. Fight.
This article is "that" Huo Ling's unique ability to write. Some examiners may not like this style, but because it is so well written, it will definitely be ranked, and the higher you go, the higher your ranking will be. The better, because it is obvious that this kind of article, or this person, will be in line with Emperor Wu Xuan's taste.
Yu Zhiyuan's expression was a little complicated, and he sighed: "It's true that a person cannot be judged by his appearance, and heroes emerge from youth!"
Shen Zhoumian was thoughtful. Finally, he raised his eyes and took a deep look at him.
He had always suspected that Shen Zhoujin's dream had happened before, but now... he seemed to have confirmed it.
The case happened the next day, and sure enough, Shen Zhoumian ranked first, and Huo Lingjue came in second.
After passing several tests in succession, the final ranking was still the same, with Shen Zhoumian taking the first place and Huo Lingjue second.
Nowadays, people in Dasheng County can "enter school" without having to take government or college examinations, and can directly obtain the title of scholar.
In other words, Shen Zhoumian does not need to take the next two exams, and can go directly to the provincial exam.
And Huo Ling definitely belongs to the top ten in the county. Although it sounds good, the next exam will still have to be taken as usual, and when it comes to the government exam, he will have to sit in the hall, that is to say, he will sit at the front.
Fortunately, the northwest is vast and sparsely populated, and the border town has a special location, so the prefect and governor are stationed here, and the government and college examinations are also taken directly here.
Moreover, the difference between the Dasheng Dynasty and the previous dynasties was that the provincial examination was also held once a year, unlike the previous dynasty which was held once every three years.
Therefore, other examination periods will also change accordingly. The government examination is in April, the college examination is in June, the provincial examination is in August, and in February of the next year you can take the general examination. And if you pass the provincial examination in Dasheng Dynasty, you can do it if you have the status of a candidate. There are really not a few officials there, and they are all eager for talent.
But no matter what, the matter is over now, and Shen Zhoujin discussed with Huo Lingjue to go back to the border tomorrow.
While the two were talking, Zhou Wenliang hurried over to report: "Princess, the imperial envoy has arrived."
Shen Zhoujin was surprised and saw a smile on Zhou Wenliang's lips. It was because he had received the letter early and didn't tell her. It was probably a good thing and he wanted to give her a surprise.
She quickly changed her clothes and came out.
When I came out, I saw that everyone had changed their clothes and set up incense tables to receive orders.
