Tangtang'er had already learned from Zelan that he had passed the Huiyuan exam, but in the evening, when her father came back and told her, she still pretended not to know and was a little surprised, "Really?"
Xu Yi was very happy in his heart. When he was at the Ministry of War today, many colleagues sat together and talked, and they mentioned Mai Qinghua. Everyone was full of praise for him.
When they returned to the palace after get off work, Leng Shoufang and the others were still in the Imperial Study Room, also talking about the examination results, but this time they were talking about articles. They were talking very profoundly. Although Xu Yi did not understand them all, they could understand them. I feel great.
In addition, Chief Leng and the emperor both showed expressions of relief and joy, which shows that his future son-in-law is really capable.
Those little awkward thoughts will naturally disappear.
The whole family is very happy except Xu Bengbeng.
Xu Benbeng's facial features look very much like Xu Yi's. He is very young and powerful, and he punches everyone fiercely, "I don't care, I don't care, I will beat whoever steals my sister from me."
After saying that, he ran out.
Ah Si smiled at everyone, then picked up the stick and chased out. After a while, after a wail of crying, Ah Si came back, followed by the well-behaved Xu Bengbeng, with glistening snot hanging under his nose.
Walking up to Tangtang'er, he said with great sincerity but aggrievedness: "Sister, I won't beat my brother-in-law anymore."
Candy rubbed his head and smiled, "Okay, thank you for sparing him."
Xu Bengbeng had tears in her eyes, "Sister, can you take me to marry you?"
"Yes, as long as you are willing, my sister will marry you there, but after you marry her, you won't be able to eat the sweet-scented osmanthus stuffed balls made by my mother."
Xu Benbeng frowned, the sacrifice was a bit big and not worth it.
Xu Benbeng is a foodie, and foodies are the easiest to be manipulated.
The palace examination is in March, and Gongsheng students can prepare a little more. In addition to their knowledge reserves, the palace examination also tests their strong psychological quality.
Because, the three hundred Gongsheng students who will participate in the palace examination compete for the top three positions.
It doesn't sound difficult to compete for the top three among three hundred people, but these three hundred people are not just ordinary people, they are top students who have passed the first level examination.
Everyone is top-notch, so you have to be top-notch to win.
The Imperial Examination only tested policy questions. The chief assistant led the cabinet to ask several questions, and then left them to the emperor to make a decision.
Yu Wenhao selected current affairs and set five questions. The prescribed format was Guange style, with a limit of one thousand words.
A thousand words explain five questions, which stipulates that the answer must be concise, without a single redundant word.
Even the always strict chief assistant thinks it’s too difficult?
Yu Wenhao said with full confidence: "If you want to be a student of the Emperor, it doesn't have to be difficult."
In his opinion, the candidates of this year are the best. The difficulty is appropriately increased and they can dig out some tricky angles.
Although Xu Yi worked in the Ministry of War, he always stayed in the palace when he got home from get off work. The Hou Mansion had not yet been repaired, so he also participated in this discussion.
To be precise, he did not participate in the discussion, but was working part-time outside and overheard them talking about how difficult the imperial examination was.
When I got home, I would inevitably tell Ah Si how difficult the challenge our future son-in-law would face this time.
Xu Yi spoke loudly without realizing it, and the couple's conversation was also heard by Guo'er. Guo'er was secretly worried. If he couldn't be selected as the number one scholar, would Wubaibao not grant the marriage?
I tossed and turned and couldn't sleep, so I went to talk to Zelan.
Zelan was playing with little Phoenix. Hearing her worries, he smiled and comforted: "This question is not aimed at him alone. If it is difficult and everyone finds it difficult, he still has a chance to be selected as the top pick."
Tangtang'er thought about it, why couldn't she understand such a simple truth?
It’s really confusing to care.
"Sister, take a step back and tell me, even if he doesn't win the first prize, dad will grant you the marriage. The dowry is ready, and there are many people outside who know about it. Dad can't delay your marriage."
"That's what I said. It's just that Wu Baibai has high hopes for him. If he can't win the championship, Wu Baibai will be disappointed, right?"
"He will not be disappointed. He admires Mr. Wheat very much. Even if he fails to win this time, it does not mean that dad will deny his talent."
"Really?
That’s good, that’s good.”
Candy held her chest and said, "I haven't been able to sleep well recently. I know how hard it is for him in the examination room. This is a relatively important level for him. I wish I could advance and retreat together with him. Unfortunately, I can't help much."
Zeelan held her arm, "What do you mean you can't help?
You are his goal, his centerpiece. If it weren't for you, he wouldn't even take the exam. Your appearance has changed his life."
Candy smiled and said: "Look at what you said, what do you mean I changed his life?
If there is a natural scent of musk, it is not for me, and one day he will shine."
In fact, he had already shone brightly, and countless people in the Northern Tang Dynasty admired his talent.
