; The Shen Junqian sisters held their own poetry meeting here, and they were full of interest to prepare for Shen Junxuan's ceremony. Several masters of the Shen family were also very busy.

Recently, there have been a lot of things in the court, and Shen Jizhong, the eldest lord of the Shen family, is a member of the cabinet, who has almost been in the inner study for a long time.

In fact, Shen Jizhong is also very hard, to put it nicely, he is one of the six phases, but he is the most junior and the least background among the six phases. Therefore, he is the least powerful of the six ministers of the cabinet, which is reflected in the fact that he does not have a fixed responsibility for any department of the six departments, so it becomes that he has to be responsible for everything, and then in disguise, he seems to be a little like a deputy to the other five ministers, he is doing the most trivial and messy things in the cabinet, and he is the busiest in the cabinet.

However, the other cabinet members could still drink tea leisurely and said very seriously, this is because Shen Xiangye is young and promising, so he should study and exercise hard in order to better serve the emperor.

are all characters who have been mixed with officialdom for decades, in short, Cheng Dù, who is crowned with a spring, can say that Lord Shen Jizhong, who claims to be a gentleman, secretly spit out several mouthfuls of blood.

That's right, I can only spit it out secretly, and I don't dare on the surface, otherwise it is good to say that letting you do more things is to recognize your ability and let you do more things for the saint, and your appearance is not dissatisfied with the saint. Empty mouths and white teeth can say that you are plotting rebellion and rebellion, and the heinous process should implicate your family, a whole household register, plus an address book.

But it's not completely without benefits.

Shen Jizhong originally belonged to the airborne members of the cabinet, and the others had some foundation before the cabinet, and they had been trained on the road to the quasi-cabinet, so Shen Jizhong belonged to the luck of the time and place, and then was appointed by the saint to enter the cabinet.

Although this fully shows the trust of the Holy Lord Shen, it is indeed a challenge to Shen Jizhong's ability to handle the cabinet. After being forced to deal with the affairs of the cabinet by the other five cabinets, who were half rejected and half embarrassed, at least Shen Jizhong quickly figured out the way of the cabinet.

However, even Shen Jizhong, who is handy with all matters in the cabinet, said that this year's court is really eventful. It seems that since the beginning of the year, all kinds of things have emerged in an endless stream, such as floods in the south of the Yangtze River, fraud in the imperial examinations, and unstable borders. The day before yesterday, I was discussing with my second brother when the thunder would break out.

"Alas" Shen Jizhong couldn't help but sigh out of this breath, looking at the re-examination ranking in front of him, Shen Jizhong couldn't go home from the cabinet immediately at this moment, how to let go at home.

The official who sent the re-examination ranking to Shen Jizhong on the side heard Shen Jizhong sigh like this, and looked up at Shen Jizhong with some surprise and questioned, "My lord, this is"

There was only one problem in the exam, and so many people were implicated, and the blood stains on the ground at the noon gate of the vegetable market haven't dried yet, so what's the problem with not trying to retake the exam this time

Thinking of this, the official immediately broke out in a cold sweat, and shouted in a panic: "My lord"

Shen Jizhong came back to his senses when he was called by his subordinates, and said calmly: "I was thinking about other things for a while, and there is no problem with the ranking of the retest, and the top ten test papers are these" Pointing to the pile of opened test papers on the case, Shen Jizhong simply resisted the urge to pull out a certain paper.

After getting the official's affirmative answer, he asked some simple questions before Shen Jizhong asked him to retreat.

Shen Jizhong picked up the fold that said "This time the re-examination ranking" was written, and the most eye-catching place was written with the names of the top three, and it was Shen Ji'an who was written in the third, and the attached identity and origin information was Laizhou Shen Family's son-in-law Xingsan and so on, which Shen Jizhong could recite with his eyes closed.

Absolutely yes, this is his own brother, Shen Ji'an

What does it mean to be ranked third in the order of the examination, Shen Jizhong knows it very well, because he also passed the imperial examination step by step.

Although the ranking of the general examination does not mean the final ranking, the basic change is not too large. And Shen Ji'an's third place in the exam also means that after the palace exam, the three rankings of the first class, champion, Bangyan, and Tanhua, Shen Ji'an all have a chance. Even if Shen Ji'an's palace doesn't do well, as usual, Shen Ji'an will be the worst in the second grade.

The final ranking of the imperial examination in this dynasty is generally divided into three lists, which are the first and third places, the first champion, the second list, and the third Tanhua, which is commonly known as the three tripod armor and the like;

The final ranking of the examination is the sum of the results of the examination and the Golden Palace, and the questions of the palace examination are hand-picked by the emperor, and the final top three rankings are also hand-picked by the emperor. Generally speaking, the ranking of the subject exam will not change too much, and the three rankings of the first class will basically only be selected in the top ten of the subject field, so the first place in the subject field is not necessarily the first place in the final test, but also depends on the palace exam and the emperor's final consideration.

Shen Ji'an's third place in the examination field was really much beyond Shen Jizhong's expectations, if it was Shen Jizhong, as long as he thought about the result, he felt that the blood in his whole body was almost rushing to his brain. In the end, he finally relied on the experience of officialdom over the years to suppress his excitement.

After returning to Shen's house, he didn't have time to eat dinner, so Shen Jizhong called his two younger brothers to the study to discuss the matter.

"There was fraud in the previous imperial examination, although the chief examiner of the imperial examination this time is Mr. Lishan, who has always been known as honest and fair, but he is the in-law of the Shen family, and the eldest brother is in the cabinet, and the others are still two, don't have an accident."

Shen Jitang's words really worked better than anything else, and instantly calmed down Shen Jizhong's congested brain.

That's right, now the Shen family has no shortage of false names such as champions and jinshi, and this time such a sensitive time is more beneficial to the Shen family.

"Then what should we do now" In case Shen Ji'an will try to catch the Shen family this time, it will be too worthless, thinking about it, it seems that he is not worthy of his brother if he thinks so, and said to Shen Ji'an a little apologetically, "Third brother"

"Big brother doesn't need to say much, I understand everything, I'm not a child anymore, anyway, you know that I don't really care about the test ranking, hehe, as long as you don't stop me from following my father-in-law at that time. Shen Ji'an said with a hippie smile on his face.

Shen Jitang is almost the brains of the three brothers, pondered for a moment and said: "The turmoil of the previous test has not completely passed, and no one dares to do anything sneaky now. Besides, the results of the third brother's examination depend on the meaning of the saint. ”

Shen Jizhong's excited mood calmed down at first, so he was no longer hot-headed, nodded and calmed down.

The three brothers of the Shen family would not tell anyone about such a secret matter. Shen Ji'an himself has never put this matter at ease, and he can change it these days, but Shen Jizhong and Shen Ji's cousins are somewhat anxious to wait for the final result. In Shen Jitang's words, he had never been so nervous when he participated in the examination, but he was so worried about his younger brother.

When the sound of firecrackers and gongs and drums sounded at the gate of the Shen family, everyone in the Shen family reacted that it must be Shen Ji'an, the third master, who won the Jinshi, and before everyone could rejoice, the person who reported the good news had already shouted, "Congratulations to the Shen family, Master Shen Ji'an, who has won the first place on the emperor list and won the first place in the middle school undergraduate reads;"

Several little guys thought they had heard it wrong for a while, and when the person who reported the good news saw that no one responded to him, he had to shout loudly once, and the porter and the little guy who was sent out finally had someone to react, and immediately rewarded and flew to the Shen family to report the good news, and quickly spread the news that the third master of the Shen family won the top prize in the Shen family.

"Okay" When Feng Shi heard the news, his excited hands shook a little uncontrollably, and he immediately folded his hands and recited a few verses.

After reciting the scriptures, he immediately rewarded the kid who came to report the good news, and ordered the Shen family to reward an extra two months of silver from top to bottom.

After hearing the news, Xiao and Ma personally went to the Linyuan Hall in the third room with gifts to say hello to De'an.

The door of the Shen family also became popular in an instant, but fortunately, the Shen family has always been modest, and all those who send posts will be put away first.

"De'an, now you are proud" Xiao Shi because he and De'an were friends when they were not married, so they have always spoken a lot more presumptuously, this is not even to the door, Xiao's words have already been passed over, "You are a champion lady, this is good, our family belongs to me not the champion lady, oops, why am I so miserable, the mother-in-law and concubine in the family are all the champion wife, and I am the only one who is Mrs. Tanhua." ”

Ma, who was complimented by the Xiao family, immediately smiled and said proudly, "The second brother and sister don't say that I haven't noticed it yet, it's really true that the second brother and sister said this, except for the second brother and the second brother and sister, our Shen family is actually the champion and the champion lady." ”

Ma thought about it, thinking that he had actually been the champion lady for many years earlier than De'an, and suddenly the unease that he had come to congratulate De'an disappeared in an instant.

"The second sister-in-law is not in a hurry, although she can't be the champion lady, but you always have the opportunity to be the champion and her mother, wait for Junxi and their brothers to come back with a champion for you, and then you will be the champion and his mother, and the name is not weak."

Since De'an heard the news of Shen Ji'an's final champion, he couldn't wait to look up to the sky and smile, and now he can't hide his happiness, and the corners of his mouth are almost grinning behind his ears.

The three of them complimented for a while, and knowing that De'an was busy now, they didn't say much, so Xiao and Ma retired first.

The news that the third master of the Shen family won the first place again, and the news that the Shen family had another champion was almost instantaneous, like a spring breeze, which quickly blew the gossip hearts of the people of Dayin.

Oh my God, do you know that the Shen family has a champion again, and you don't know what the Shen family is, it is the Laizhou Shen family who is "one door and three jinshi, father and son two champions".

Brother, if you say it wrong, now it is "a family of four jinshi, father and son three champions"

No, which one is so powerful, it's really fake

That's right, the champion of the Xin Shen family, no, I'm going to let me go to the kid to worship

Hey, do you think Wenqu Xing will have anything to do with the Shen family?

Now it can be said that the most lively thing in the streets and alleys is not to discuss who will try to be on the emperor list this time, but to discuss the affairs of several masters of the Shen family. Several young masters and girls of the Shen family were discussed for a while.

The crowd outside was excited, although the Shen family was also excited and happy at first, but after experiencing several champion turmoil, they all calmed down quickly, except for the joy on everyone's faces, they couldn't see anything else
