In short, in the eyes of the couple, Yu Qing’s words meant that it would be no problem to win the top prize.
Having such a good son-in-law, even if there is some pressure, it is worth it.
Without mentioning the matter of the imperial examination, Wen Jianhui suddenly said: "Shiheng, I also like poetry. Can you take the time to write a few poems for me someday?"
The ladies who had frequented her recently also came one after another, wanting to ask Hui Yuan Lang for poems in person, and also to see what Hui Yuan Lang looked like with a perfect score. However, Zhong Su was angry and would not let these things mess up before the palace examination.
Yu Qing was disturbed by this matter, so those noble ladies had no choice but to entrust Wen Jianhui with the request for poems.
As soon as Zhong Su heard this, he knew what his wife was thinking, and her cheeks tightened. Sometimes she really didn't know what was going on in this woman's mind. She had just left the examination room, so even if she had to mention this, she still had to take a breath, right?
It was inappropriate to argue in front of the prospective son-in-law, so I subconsciously watched Yu Qing's reaction.
Yu Qing was naturally speechless. There was a dead eunuch who asked for poems before, but he didn't know how to submit the request. Now here comes another person who wants a few poems. Will he let him live?
He was also easy to talk to and said, "Okay."
Wen Jianhui was naturally smiling.
However, a few people soon discovered that the carriage they were riding in was delayed in moving when they drove out and returned. When they opened the curtain and looked outside, they found that someone outside had deliberately blocked the road.
“Hui Yuanlang comes out.”
“Huiyuan Lang showed up for us to see.”
"Yes, we won't let Hui Yuan Lang pass by until we have a glimpse of his grace."
"come out."
"come out."
At the end, the shouting was so loud that it made Wen Jianhui turn pale with fright. She had never seen such a momentum before.
Zhong Su had a serious face.
Yu Qing leaned on the carriage and looked at the pattern on the roof of the carriage with an expressionless face. No matter what was going on outside, it didn't matter.
Fortunately, the court troops were nearby. Hearing such a momentum, they did not dare to let anything happen to Yu Qing. A group of troops came over quickly with swords and guns, drove away the people blocking the road, and opened the way for Zhongfu's carriage to escort. It was a false alarm.
This scene made the other tributes who participated in the palace examination envious. They wished that it was themselves who had been surrounded just now.
After the palace examination, the crowd outside the palace gradually dispersed, and all the candidates were looking forward to tomorrow's ranking on the gold list.
As usual, the results of the palace examination papers will be released today, and the gold list will be posted tomorrow.
It is no different from the examination in which tens of thousands of people participated. With only 200 people taking reference and only one question, it is not difficult to get the results on the same day...
“Master.”
“Mrs.”
“Uncle.”
This is the title Yu Qing heard all the way back to Zhongfu.
As the family was about to leave, Zhong Su invited him again: "Now that the examination and the imperial examination have passed smoothly, you can finally breathe a sigh of relief. Let's set a table together as a family at noon to celebrate."
Wen Jianhui was also very enthusiastic, "Yes, yes, Shiheng, it is worth celebrating as a family."
Here we are deliberately trying to get the young couple to meet.
This was the first invitation from the Zhong family. Yu Qing himself was almost speechless when he refused, so he simply said, "Uncle and aunt, the male is unmarried and the female is unmarried, so it is best not to see each other for the time being."
When he said this, the couple felt a little embarrassed, as if they didn't know etiquette, so they had no choice but to give up.
Yu Qing sighed inwardly as he said goodbye. He did not meet Ashheng's fiancée to avoid suspicion. He could not explain other matters, but he thought he could give Ashheng an explanation for this matter.
Zhong Su, who stopped to watch, said: "It seems we have thought too much."
I ca n’t invite it before, and it ’s not wood here. I feel faintly feel like I was deliberately avoided their daughters. Now I know this is the reason.
Wen Jianhui also nodded, "This scholar is very particular about etiquette."
Zhong Su immediately turned around and warned, "Since you know that people care about etiquette in this regard, you have to take good care of your daughter, stay in your own yard before getting married, and try to avoid meeting other men, so as not to be treated like a crazy woman.
The second one is dragging her around so as not to be underestimated." Speaking of his youngest daughter, he had a headache. He really didn't know which well-matched and decent family would dare to marry her.
"What do you think? I am in charge of both daughters..." Wen Jianhui complained.
In the east courtyard, as soon as Yu Qing came back, he was wiping the stone table in the pavilion. The insects on the stone table immediately put down their work and ran over, "Young master is back, are you tired?"
“I’m tired, I’m tired, it’s not as easy as killing two people!” Yu Qing laughed at himself.
Zhong'er thought he was joking.
Yu Qing walked under the eaves, sat directly on the steps, and pointed to his shoulders.
Chong'er immediately climbed up to the higher step behind him and sat down. She rubbed her hands hard on her clothes and then put them on Yu Qing's shoulders to massage him.
The junior uncle told him not to bully Chong'er, and even canceled his slave status and brought up some kind of junior brother to create a peer relationship. If Yu Qing didn't accept this trick, the leader would be the leader.
Therefore, he decided from the beginning that he would not get used to Chong'er's problem and that he could not let Chong'er develop a situation where he relied on his junior uncle and ignored him as the leader, so he added some tasks to Chong'er.
So Chong Er, who usually only cleans the house, now also has to give Yu Qing a squeeze on his hands and feet, rub his shoulders and so on.
But Chong'er, on the other hand, has come back to life. The previous sadness or embarrassment has disappeared. The relationship with Yu Qing has become closer again. She is gradually becoming happier day by day. It seems that the more work she does, the happier she is.
Similar.
Chong'er, who pinched his shoulders, asked in concern, "Sir, how did you go in the imperial examination?"
Yu Qing snorted, "How did you go in the exam? Don't you know how it went? It's not like you don't know how I passed the exam because you know how to take the test. You just have a little bit of copying skills."
Chong'er shook his head, "That's not what you said. I heard Mr. Xu say that even if the exam questions are made public, no one may be able to get a perfect score, so the young master's talent is obvious."
Yu Qing raised an arm and reached back, touched Chong'er's face, pinched Chong'er's nose and shook it vigorously, "Where's the brain? They've all said it was copied. Talent belongs to others."
The insect with a stuffy nose muttered, "Young Master is just keeping a low profile."
“Alas!” Yu Qing obeyed him and let him go.
Just at this moment, Butler Li appeared from outside the door and strode over. Seeing this, Chong'er quickly stood up and bowed politely.
Yu Qing also stood up and cupped his hands.
Butler Li came over for nothing else. He also wanted to ask how the exam went, whether it was hard, and if there were any needs.
Seeing that nothing was wrong, he left the east courtyard and went directly to the inner house to find Zhong Su.
After inviting Mr. Zhong to the side, Butler Li whispered in a low voice: "Uncle, as usual, the results of the palace examination will come out tonight. We also have some connections in the palace. Do you want to ask the helper to pay attention to it?"
Having earned such a large fortune in the capital, the Zhong family knew more or less some people in the palace, especially some of the eunuchs responsible for purchasing.
Mr. Zhong thought for a while, shook his head and said: "There is no need to create extraneous matters. Do you think that if we don't contact them, the people inside will not contact us? It is not a leak, there is no risk and there are benefits. Those eunuchs run away
It's faster than anyone else. Don't worry, as soon as Shiheng's ranking results come out, someone will come to ask for rewards, so just be prepared to reward him with money."
Butler Li thought about it, and laughed and said, "What Yuan Wai said makes sense. Well, I will wait for the news today. I will notify Yuan Wai as soon as the news comes."
They are all in a good mood. Those who have entered the tribute list are basically in an invincible position. It is nothing more than their ranking on the gold list. The performance of the prospective son-in-law of Pingzhong Mansion should not be much worse no matter how bad it is.
of……
The moonlight is like water, and the palace city is towering.
The Taiping Hall, the place where the Jin Dynasty emperor handled government affairs, was brightly lit after nightfall, and the atmosphere was unusual.
The imperial examination articles and the list of candidates are all there, and the top three rankings in this subject will be determined here.
The hall was sometimes quiet, and sometimes came the voices of the king and his ministers discussing, and the sound of registration papers being opened, and the name "Ashi Heng" was announced.
After a burst of praise, a Xiao Huang who was listening outside the hall covered his stomach, went to the side to ask for leave from his classmate, saying that he had a stomachache and couldn't hold it in anymore, so he left first. After avoiding attention, Xiao Huang
He looked left and right at the door and quickly headed towards the harem...
At night in the capital, wherever the lights are brightest, there will be the most prosperity.
Mei Mansion is a quiet place amidst the bustle. In the study room, which is shaded by the faint fragrance of several trees, Mei Sanghai, the minister of the Ministry of Industry in casual clothes, is sitting at his desk writing some things.
Steward Kong Shen hurriedly entered the study and waved directly to the maid who was waiting in the study at any time. The maid immediately left quietly.
Kong Shen walked to the desk, bent down, and reported: "Sir, word has spread from the palace. Although the list of the top three is still being negotiated, the result of 'Ashi Heng' has been taken first. It is the new subject of the undergraduate course."
The top scholar. After His Majesty read the test papers selected by the top candidates, Ashheng's answers caught the eye of the Holy Spirit and was approved by His Majesty Chrysostom. It is said that after the examination, His Majesty admired the boy quite a lot and even prepared to marry him during the imperial examination.
The answer is correct."
Mei Sanghai's pen gesture froze, he frowned and muttered, "He won the first place in the general examination, and won the first place in the palace examination. Ajiezhang has trained a good son." He slowly placed the pen in his hand on the pen holder and leaned his back on the chair.
, the whole person stared at the lamp and fell into deep contemplation, with a dark and uncertain look in his eyes.
After a while, a voice suddenly came out and concluded, "Someone is deceiving the Holy Spirit!"
Kong Shen hurriedly asked: "How?"
Mei Sanghai: "If no one deliberately conceals Ashiheng's origin, His Majesty will not like him even if he is not deposed. If no one deceives him, with His Majesty's ears and eyes, it is impossible that he still does not know that he is Ajiezhang's son.
son."
Kong Shen was startled, "Yes, there are people helping behind the scenes!"
"So what about helping each other? It's just a weakling." Mei Sanghai said calmly, as if he had already made up his mind, and said calmly: "Ashiheng is the son of Ajiezhang. Ajiezhang was dismissed by His Majesty and expelled, which caused the whole family to
How can a person easily forget when he encounters a misfortune and is full of blood feuds? If he is grateful to His Majesty, is it true or false? If it is false, what is the intention? You go and make arrangements and ask your Majesty's senior companion to remind him, just like this."
