In the East Palace, a small yellow gate hurriedly came to Liu Jin's side with small steps and told him about the imperial examination. Then Liu Jin also hurried to Zhu Houzhao's side.
Zhu Houzhao was very busy at this time. He was busy working on scientific research. He went to Tianjin last time and saw many magical machines in Tianjin. He became a little obsessed with this mechanical thing, so much so that Hong Zhi
Yang Tinghe, the teacher the emperor found for him, resigned several times to Emperor Hongzhi.
This teacher is really a bit useless. In the past, Zhu Houzhao would pretend to be sick every three days, but now he occasionally goes to class and even asks Yang Tinghe some questions that he doesn't know how to answer.
Questions like ‘Are we living on a big ball?’, ‘How heavy is this big ball?’, ‘How far is the moon from us?’ and so on.
Although Yang Tinghe was a well-read scholar with profound knowledge, he was dumbfounded when faced with these questions because he didn't know how to answer them.
The person who was asked was speechless and his face was red, so he had no choice but to ask Emperor Hongzhi to resign on the grounds of his lack of talent and lack of knowledge. However, Emperor Hongzhi refused every time and continued to serve after some encouragement.
Got the teacher.
There is no other way. Being a teacher for the prince is an extremely promising career. You must know that Liu Jian, the current chief minister of the cabinet, had been a teacher for Emperor Hongzhi before.
Being able to serve as a teacher to the prince, as long as nothing unexpected happens, he will basically never be able to leave a cabinet, and there is a high probability that he can become the chief minister of the cabinet.
Faced with such a bright future, even if Zhu Houzhao is a difficult student to serve, he can only continue to hold his nose and teach. At the same time, he has to make changes, study a little, and learn some of what Liu Jin said, otherwise he will not be able to teach at all.
There is no way to deal with Zhu Houzhao.
"Your Highness, the red list of the Provincial Examination has been posted. Liu Jin is in the top spot, and his two students are also in the top two ranks, with three excellent candidates in each subject."
Liu Jin came to Zhu Houzhao's side and said with a soft smile.
"Haha, Lao Liu actually got a Jieyuan. I have to think carefully about how to blackmail him and do three things at once. I really can't tell."
When Zhu Houzhao heard this, he immediately put down what he was holding and laughed happily.
"Let's go to Old Liu's house. I haven't had food from Old Liu's house for half a month. All the cooks in the palace should be killed. It's too difficult to cook."
Then, Zhu Houzhao said that as soon as he lost the things in his hands, he immediately prepared to leave the palace to find Liu Jin.
…
On the small island in the garden lake of Duke Dingguo's mansion, Xu Waner was staring at the lake in boredom. A maid hurriedly walked over and said excitedly as she walked: "Miss, miss, I got it, I got it~
"
"bingo?"
When Xu Waner heard this, she immediately said excitedly. Of course she knew what her maid was talking about. She had asked her maid to wait for the news early in the morning.
"It's a hit, it's a hit, Mr. Liu Jin is the first in the ranking, and he is Jieyuan!"
The maid came to the island in the middle of the lake and gasped.
"Jie Yuan?"
"How can he be the first in such a difficult question?"
Liu Jin's figure suddenly appeared clearly in Xu Waner's mind. Since ancient times, heroes have loved beauties, and beauties also love heroes and talented people.
The last time Liu Jin came here, although it was just a one-time encounter, it left a very deep impression on Xu Waner. This girl Huaichun had already heard a lot about Liu Jin from her brother Xu Guangzuo.
When they met that day, Liu Jin did not disappoint her. She was handsome and talented, which made her, a talented woman with both looks and talents, fall in love.
Although she didn't say it at the time, Liu Jin's figure often appeared in her mind these days. She was lovesick and often asked her maid to inquire about Liu Jin.
"Miss, this Mr. Liu might really be the number one scholar. Then he and Miss will be a match made in heaven."
A maid next to her smiled and said to Xu Waner.
"Qiu Ju, you are the only one who talks a lot."
When Xu Waner heard this, her cheeks suddenly flew up and she couldn't help but said angrily to the maid named Qiu Ju.
Although she said this, she also thought this way in her mind. She prided herself on being extremely intelligent, talented and beautiful, and she had secretly made up her mind a long time ago that she would not marry someone who was extremely talented.
Liu Jin was the first to be tempted by her.
"Miss, do you want me to be a magpie and go find Mr. Liu Jin?"
Although Qiu Ju was criticized, she knew that her lady did not really criticize her, and as her personal maid, she knew her lady's thoughts very well, so she also suggested in a low voice.
"This...isn't this not good?"
When Xu Waner heard this, her face turned even redder, and she was so embarrassed that she wanted to find a crack in the ground and burrow down.
"If there's anything wrong, if you don't take the initiative to find her, Li Zhen might be snatched away. Then, miss, you will regret it for the rest of your life."
Qiu Ju quickly added that when it came to Li Zhen, Xu Waner couldn't help but feel worried. Li Zhen had clearly revealed her feelings to her good best friend and was enamored of Mr. Liu. She was just waiting for Liu Jin to be named on the gold list.
, when the time comes, you can find a matchmaker to go to Li's house to propose marriage, and you can get married in an eight-carriage sedan chair.
"this…"
Xu Waner panicked again. It was hard to meet someone who was attracted to her. If she missed it, she would really become a big girl. You must know that she is seventeen now, and others have already given birth to children at this age.
Now that she has a daughter, if she misses Liu Jin again, she may really have no choice but to find someone to marry.
"Miss, I'm going~"
Seeing Xu Waner's troubled look, Qiu Ju knew what she should do and hurriedly went to pull the bridge and set up the line.
Seeing Qiu Ju leaving, Xu Waner did not stop her, and felt very confused inside.
Not far away, Xu Guangzuo saw this scene with a telescope, and he also knew about his sister.
"This Liu Jin is really cheap."
"Laifu, then I'll send my message to Liu Jin's house and ask him to come over to discuss the cement factory."
There is no way, the female college student will not be admitted, not to mention this boy Liu Jin, he is also very pleased with it, and now he has been admitted to the Yuan Dynasty. If nothing happens, it is a sure thing to be named on the gold list next year, and he can match his sister.
.
Therefore, after thinking about it, he ordered that by inviting Liu Jin to his house, he would naturally create an opportunity for Liu Jin and his sister to get along with each other.
…
At the residence of Li Hui and Li Shilang.
"The green water is originally worry-free, but its face is wrinkled by the wind; the green mountains are never old, but their heads are white with snow~"
In the back garden, Li Zhen was sitting in the pavilion, holding her chin with both hands, with a look of lovesickness on her face. Liu Jin's figure echoed in her mind, and she was reciting the pair that Liu Jin had given her.
"Miss, miss, hit, hit~"
Li Zhen's personal maid, Xiaocui, hurried over and shouted hurriedly before she could take a breath.
"He was hit?"
When Li Zhen heard this, her face was filled with joy. After all, her family was not an ordinary family. Her grandfather was a minister, and her father was also a high-ranking official in the court.
Her grandfather loved her very much and even said that he would not marry anyone who was not a disciple of the emperor, so she knew that if Liu Jin did not do well in the exam, her grandfather would never agree to marry her to him.
Now that you have passed the provincial examination, you will have the opportunity to participate in next year's national examination, which means you will be named on the gold list and have the hope of becoming a disciple of the emperor.
"Yes, Miss, I am number one in the top of my head. I will definitely be named on the gold medal list tomorrow."
Xiao Cui also quickly added.
"Great~"
When Li Zhen heard this, she could not conceal her joy.
"Miss, now that Mr. Liu has finished his exam, can we go find him?"
Xiaocui suggested with a smile.
"Hmm~"
Li Zhen nodded with a flushed face. Just as she was about to stand up, she quickly stopped and said, "It's not good to ask me to take the initiative to find him."
"Xiao Cui, go and inquire about him and see if he has gone out to play or anything."
"Miss, I see you write him a letter directly and ask him to find a place to meet you to relieve the pain of lovesickness."
Xiaocui suggested with a smile.
"This...if grandpa knew about it, he would definitely break my legs."
When Li Zhen heard this, she said with some embarrassment.
"Miss, you have to seize the opportunity. Mr. Liu Jin and Mr. Liu are very handsome and talented. There are countless people in the capital who want to pay attention to him. If he waits until next year, he is named on the gold medal list and parades around in the uniform of the number one scholar. The whole capital will be shocked.
We all know it.”
Xiaocui smiled and said to Li Zhen.
"What can we do~"
When Li Zhen heard this, she immediately panicked. Then she gritted her teeth and hurriedly asked someone to prepare pens, ink, paper and inkstones to write a letter to Liu Jin and prepare to make an appointment with Liu Jin.
…
On the official road leading from the capital to Changli County, Yongping Prefecture, someone was riding a horse and running rapidly. This was a villager from Xiahetun who followed Liu Jin out.
He is now rushing back to Xiahe Village to tell Liu Jin's mother Wang the news about Liu Jinzhong's understanding of the Yuan Dynasty. He is also preparing to bring Wang to live in the capital.
Liu Jin's family now has a big business, and he is very busy. The opportunities to return to Xiahetun are getting less and less, and he cannot keep his mother Wang here in Xiahetun.
Liu Jin knew that the thing Wang wanted most in her heart was for Liu Jin to be named on the gold medal list and to stand out, so that she could live up to her years of hard work in raising Liu Jin.
Although Liu Jin has made a lot of money, it is no longer what it used to be, but if he did not win the imperial examination and was not named on the gold medal list, he generally felt that he would be sorry for Wang's hard work.
Now we have to understand the Yuan Dynasty, and we will take part in the imperial examination in a few months. Naturally, it would be better to bring the Wang family to live in the capital as early as possible. Firstly, we can just be filial, and secondly, when we wait for the gold list, we will also
It can let Mrs. Wang know immediately and make her happy and happy.
In this era, Liu Jin only has this one family member.
