Spring Festival is in early February, and results are released half a month after the exam.
You Geer and others all took the Jinke Chunwei exam. Chen Xiaobaoer also took the Chunwei exam with the encouragement of his father and mother and the "motivation" of his direct grandfather Chen Shangshu.
According to Chen Zhan, Chen Shangshu encouraged his eldest grandson like this: "If you fail the Chunwei exam, don't worry about getting a wife. When you pass the Jinshi exam, you can marry a wife and start a family."
Chen Xiaobaoer was so "motivated" that she studied hard for four months without even leaving the front door of the Chen Mansion.
I don’t know if Chen Xiaobaoer can create a miracle.
A smile flashed in Xie Mingxi's eyes, and she took the list from Xianghui. At first glance, she saw a familiar name.
Gu Shanchang looked over and immediately smiled and said: "Okay! Okay! Okay! I didn't expect Brother You to be so upbeat and get the first place in the examination! It's great!"
After passing the general examination, there is also the palace examination. Only after passing the palace examination can the ranking be truly determined.
However, Brother You obviously has no worries about being kicked out of the first place by the emperor. The title of the new top pick is a certainty.
Brother You was also raised by Gu Shanchang, so Brother You is striving for success, which makes Chief Gu feel happy.
A smile flashed in Xie Mingxi's eyes and she continued to look.
The Li brothers are also on the list.
Brother Yu is slightly better at reading than Brother Qin, and Brother Yu also ranked high in the autumn. But this spring, Brother Qin got 67th place in the exam, but Brother Yu dropped to more than 280th place.
Chunwei only got three hundred Jinshi, and Brother Yu almost lost his reputation.
Xie Mingxi knew the reason for this.
As soon as the New Year passed, Zhao Changqing quickly arranged a marriage for Sister Rong, who was the sixth young master of the Chu family.
As soon as the news reached the Li family, Brother Yu fell ill at that time. After being raised for more than half a month, he struggled to attend the Spring Festival. Under such a heavy blow, Brother Yu was still able to pass the exam, which can not but be said to be good luck.
.
When Gu Shanchang saw Brother Yu's ranking, he also let out a long sigh.
However, the marriage of Sister Rong and her son has been decided, so there is no use in saying anything. Gu Shanchang simply did not mention a word and continued to read. He found the last one, and there was no name of Chen Xiaobaoer.
"Little Bao'er studied hard for four months and still failed the exam." Chief Gu Shanzhang felt quite regretful.
Xie Mingxi smiled and said: "Little Bao'er is only fifteen years old this year. If he failed in this subject, it doesn't matter if he takes the exam again in three years. If he can pass in the next subject, he is also young and has achieved success. It is very rare."
Isn't it?
Only 300 Jinshi are selected every three years in spring. Most of the Jinshi in each subject have studied hard for more than ten or even twenty or thirty years, and are mostly in their twenties to thirties or forties.
There are only a few young Jinshi in their teens in one subject.
Gu Shanchang turned to smile and said: "I'm worried about Xiao Bao'er. As soon as this list comes out, Chen Shangshu will definitely beat him up when he returns home."
Xie Mingxi raised her eyebrows and smiled: "That's not necessarily the case. Chen Shangshu likes to beat his sons, but he may not be able to do it to his grandson."
…
If Chen Zhan heard Xie Mingxi's words, he would definitely feel sad.
Yes, Chen Shangshu was indeed disappointed and angry. He went back to his hometown and gave Chen Xiaobao'er a scolding and sent him to study in the study. Chen Shangshu was still upset and called Chen Zhan to him again to scold him.
It would have been fine if Chen Zhan had kept silent. However, Chen Zhan was a talker. When he was scolded, he retorted: "I have heard of the fault of a son being unfilial to his father. Shouldn't the son's failure in studying be the fault of his own father? Put it that way.
, among our brothers, except for me who passed the Jinshi examination, the most I have done is to get a few honors as a civil servant. Could it be that my father's inability to supervise me is also to be blamed..."
Yes! Another beating!
Fortunately, Chen Shangshu took the blame and did not use all his strength when beating him. Chen Zhan lay down for one night and was able to enter the palace the next day.
Looking at his innocent-looking friend, Sheng Hong was helpless and amused: "You really know your own father's temper, so you can't just say a few words?"
Chen Zhan said plausibly: "I am arguing with reason. You can't be afraid of being beaten, just say things that go against your heart and do things that go against your heart!"
Sheng Hong rolled his eyes: "Yes, yes! You are a good man who will not give in even after being beaten by your own father!"
Lu Chi and Zhao Qi couldn't stop laughing.
Chen Zhan was thick-skinned and didn't take it to heart when he was teased. He turned to Zhao Qi and said: "Xiao Bao'er is still young and failed in this subject. In three years, he will pass the next subject. However, in this life,
We can’t delay important things, right?”
Zhao Qi just pretended that he didn't understand the strong hint in Chen Zhan's words, and immediately turned around to talk to him without answering.
He was reluctantly satisfied with Chen Xiaobao'er as his son-in-law. However, he couldn't bear to let his daughter get married so early. She was only fifteen years old, and even if the marriage was set, it would take two years before she gets married.
Sheng Hong quite understands Zhao Qi's fatherly heart.
The cabbage that I have worked so hard to raise is seeing a lively piglet trying to get away from me. As a biological father, how can I let it go?
Even if Ah Luo wanted to recruit a consort, Sheng Hong would not let him go!
It’s better to wait until A Luo turns eighteen to get married!
So happily decided!
…
A few days later, three hundred new scholars entered the Jinluan Palace to take part in the palace examination.
Generally speaking, when it comes to the palace examination, you will be dismissed unless you make a major mistake or make a mistake before the palace examination. The palace examination is mainly to determine the final ranking.
The emperor personally presided over the palace examination, and all new scholars were his disciples.
Sheng Hong was sitting on the dragon chair, looking at the Jinshi scholars who were immersed in writing and writing, feeling quite proud that I had all the talents in the world at my disposal.
Half a day later, the palace examination was over. Lu Zhangyuan had a son who was going to take the exam. He had to avoid a few things. The people responsible for marking the examination papers were several erudite Hanlin bachelors in the Hanlin Academy.
After reviewing, the top ten are selected and sent to the holy case.
After reading it, Sheng Hong decided on the ranking. The most important thing was to point out the top three in the first and second rankings. The subsequent rankings were divided into the same Jinshi in the second and third rankings.
As expected, Brother You was selected as the number one scholar. The sixteen-year-old number one scholar won three prizes in a row, which is enough to make history.
Brother Qin is on the second list. Brother Yu is in poor condition and fell to the third list.
Not to mention how sad and regretful the Li family was, in the eyes of outsiders, it was really a great joy for the Li family to have a pair of young scholars. The number of people who came to the door to congratulate them was almost overwhelming.
Fang Ruomeng felt sorry for her eldest son, but she couldn't show it on her face. She braced herself to deal with the guests. She sighed to Li Mo in private: "Brother Yu, I really feel bad when he looks like this."
Li Mo was silent for a moment and then said: "How can things in this world go as planned? Brother Yu has no fate with Princess Duanrong. I just need to choose another good marriage for him in the future."
With the Li family's family background and Yu's appearance, talent and character, are you still worried about not getting a good wife?
However, Brother Yu will inevitably be sad and lonely for a while.
Fang Ruomeng sighed again: "That's all we can do. Let's put Brother Yu's marriage aside for now, and don't hesitate about Brother Qin's marriage. I will go to the palace tomorrow to ask the Empress to arrange a match!"
