When Qiu Ruyi heard this, he couldn't help but feel bored in his heart.

She was an ordinary boudoir woman, and she studied before she got married, just like her female worker, and she was a pastime, occasionally following her mother to learn to manage the house, and she didn't know much about the various systems in the court.

Qiu Ruyi thought about it again and again, and couldn't help but say in frustration: "No wonder my father didn't allow my eldest brother to enter the field last time, it turned out that I was afraid that the last Jinshi among the eldest brothers would be sent out to the remote realm, but unfortunately people are not as good as heaven, and the eldest brother still can't be an official in the capital, but he wasted three years of time in vain." ”

An Shicheng was silent, Qiu Ruyi was afraid that An Shicheng would underestimate his brother, and intended to say something for his brother, so he smiled and said: "It's my words wrong, my eldest brother has studied hard every day for the past three years, and he has almost no time to go home. ”

An Shicheng still frowned tightly and did not say a word.

Qiu Ruyi also noticed it, couldn't help but shut up, and looked at her husband in a daze.

She knew that her husband was not the shallow person, and she would never despise people because her brother was only in the top three, but An Shicheng's performance was really strange.

Qiu Ruyi smiled again and asked, "What's wrong with you? It's my brother who didn't play, and it's not you, why are you frowning here?"

An Shicheng came back to his senses at this time, smiled reluctantly, and replied, "It's nothing." Maybe Fang is what I'm thinking too much. Anyway, your eldest brother's ranking has been decided, and a county order can't run, so you should send someone to congratulate you. ”

Qiu Ruyi said angrily: "This still needs to be said, as soon as I got the news, I sent someone over." It's just that what are you thinking just now, don't hide it, talk about it quickly, don't say half a word, make people anxious. ”

An Shicheng glanced at his wife. Think about it. smiled: "Actually, it's nothing, maybe I'm thinking too much." ”

Qiu Ru commented on An Shicheng's words and ink, and stomped his feet with hatred: "You should say it quickly, don't you think too much." I'll help you judge. ”

An Shicheng had no choice but to say slowly: "My husband visited famous teachers and friends inside and outside the capital back then. This world's talented young people raise their sons. Not to mention, I have also made acquaintances with three or four percent, in my opinion, although your brother is not second to none. But it is also a leader, and the previous ranking on the top list is well deserved, why did he not even pass the re-examination this time, and was set as the top three early, which made the husband feel a little strange. ”

Qiu Ruyi couldn't help but listen, and hurriedly urged An Shicheng to continue.

An Shicheng had to say again: "I originally thought that although your eldest brother would not win the top three, the second class would definitely be on the list, but he didn't play well, and he just didn't look good at the bottom of the ranking, but he didn't want to be defeated." and Qiu Rucheng, who did not pass the retest, as a result, several Jinshi of the Qiu clan were wiped out, and they were all at the bottom of the top three. ”

Qiu Ruyi thought about it for a moment and said with a smile: "You really think too much." Although my brother and Brother Cheng are talented and okay, it's just that when the tiger is still napping, they also lose occasionally. As for the Qiu Rushan brothers, they are already at the bottom, and this retest is not unusual. ”

An Shicheng responded to Qiu Ruyi, and smiled more like persuading himself: "What Ruyi said is very reasonable, and I really think too much." ”

Qiu Ruyi joked: "If you don't think too much, could it be that someone is deliberately suppressing the Qiu clan? Besides, behind my Qiu family is now standing the Lu Guogong Mansion, which is a real royal noble. He really wants to suppress my eldest brother, and he has to think about whether he can afford the anger of the eldest prince of the Lu State Mansion, who is favored by the Queen Mother and the emperor, after the defeat. ”

His wife praised himself so clearly, An Shicheng naturally wanted to reward this face, but he saw him smiling and said seriously: "What Ruyi said is very true." There are really no people in the capital who dare to move the Qiu clan at will, even if they don't care about the power of their husbands, they also want to give An Guogong and Liang Wangfu a face. ”

Qiu Ru agreed that An Shicheng no longer minded about the re-examination, so he relaxed, and turned to discuss with her husband, because the eldest brother was destined to be released as an official, and he was going to go back to his mother's house tomorrow to comfort his mother.

An Shicheng was shocked by his words: It turned out that the Qiu clan had unknowingly married the two families of the Great Chu Dynasty who had heavy troops, so is this incident the norm, or is there really someone who pressed down on the Qiu family?

An Shicheng's stretched brows frowned slightly.

In a few days, the day of the temple examination came.

Emperor Changxing had a rare spirit that day, and he sat on the top of the main hall and personally asked the Jinshi.

It's just that when he looked at the roster in his hand, he found that there was no Jinshi surnamed Qiu on the list.

Emperor Changxing couldn't help but sigh slightly, his mother still made a move, and she was so resolute that she didn't give herself a chance to raise the Qiu family.

Emperor Changxing suddenly felt bored, fortunately, at that time, Empress Dowager Liu had already taken into account her son's poor physical condition, the examination questions for the palace examination had already been formulated, and the examiners had also designated people, and Emperor Changxing just sat on the throne.

Despite this, Emperor Changxing only sat for half an hour before returning to the palace to rest.

Until the evening, the examiner submitted the top ten test papers selected by the examiners, and asked the Changxing Emperor to take a look at them, so as to select the top three from them: that is, to determine the champion, the list eye and the flower.

Emperor Changxing understood that these ten people were all promoted by his mother, but he didn't care before or after, and he didn't look closely, so he took a pen and sketched the top three at random, and the palace test was over.

Within a few days, the emperor's list was posted, and the children of the Qiu family were indeed ranked at the bottom of the top three lists, and the four "Qiu" were ranked there, looking neat.

Some time ago, the Qiu clan was so beautiful, and now how ashamed it is to see people.

Compared with the children of the Qiu family who were hit, Qiu Jing and the others were more optimistic.

Although he must be sent as a county commander, he is still very knowledgeable where to be assigned. If you get a rich land, you will still have the opportunity to return to the capital in the future, and Qiu Ming is a precedent.

Thinking that with the face of the Liang Wangfu and the Lu Guogong Mansion, Qiu Ruyuan and Qiu Rucheng's careers can still go smoothly.

Who knows, just as God is bent on slapping the faces of the Liang Wangfu and the Lu Guogong Mansion, the two brothers Qiu Ruyuan and Qiu Rucheng were both assigned to the most barren and remote places as county magistrates.

Qiu Rucheng was quite calm, and persuaded his father: "The son failed the Fang family that day, and the world should not tolerate it. Unexpectedly, God didn't open his eyes, and he even let his son get into the Jinshi. Now although he is said to be an official in a remote place, he is still an official, which is hundreds of times stronger than the Fang family being assigned to work as a coolie at the border, and his son is also content. ”

I don't know what it is, Qiu Jing values this son the most, as early as when he knew that his son was only the top three, he didn't do a lot of work up and down, hoping to send a rich place, so that he could be promoted as soon as possible, but who knew that it was useless at all.

Qiu Jing had no choice but to admit his fate, and admonished his son: "Thunder, rain and dew are all Jun's grace, you must be conscientious when you go to the locality, so as to repay the emperor's mighty imperial kindness, and you can also be promoted and transferred back to the capital as soon as possible." ”

Qiu Rucheng agreed again and again, so he went to work hard to take care of his duties, but Qiu Ruyuan was not as peaceful as him here.

Qiu Ruyuan has always been extremely confident in his talents, who knows that the front is okay, leaving the Qiu clan disciples far behind, which makes him really proud, who knows that in the back, it seems that he has been unlucky, and everything is not going well.

failed to pass the retest, and I didn't dare to say that the Son of Heaven was a protégé in the future, but he was sent to a remote place as an official.

The more Qiu Ruyuan thought about it, the more unconvinced he became: "With his son's talent and learning, it is impossible to get the last Jinshi in the fair test, and now that the official position is like this, it must have been calculated by the villain." I'll go to my brother-in-law and ask him to help me figure it out. ”

Qiu Rong hurriedly stopped his son and said, "That's it, don't make any more extraneous branches." 'Heaven will descend on people, and they must first suffer their minds, strain their muscles and bones, starve their bodies and skins, cut down their bodies, and do what they do, so they are motivated to endure and benefit what they can't'. As long as you have real talent to learn, you will always be able to get out of the way in the future, and this time it is just a training. ”

Qiu Ruyuan still had to insist, and Qiu Rong sighed: "You are still young in the end, this release is an excellent opportunity for you to hone your skills, and God is helping you." ”

Qiu Ruyuan looked at his father puzzled, and Qiu Rong explained: "These days, I only focus on personal gains and losses, but I don't look at the changes in the situation outside: this time, some of the children of the An family of the royal family have also been awarded officials, but your brother-in-law is still unofficial and light." ”

Qiu Ruyuan didn't believe it: "Father shouldn't have heard it wrong, my brother-in-law's family is very favored by the Queen Mother and the emperor, and my brother-in-law has been praised by the emperor himself. ”

Qiu Rong sighed: "The power of the sky is unpredictable! Your brother-in-law is afraid that he is also annoyed, you don't want to bother him again, wait for your sister to come over in a few days." ”

Qiu Ruyuan had no choice but to give up, still comforting himself: "My brother-in-law has traveled south and north to see a lot of knowledge, and he will not be bothered by this, besides, he has always been well-behaved, and there will be no mistakes, maybe the emperor will have greater grace with him, just wait until the time is ripe, and then announce it." ”

Qiu Rong shook his head and sighed silently.

At this time, Qiu Ruyi was like an ant on a hot pot, and he was in a hurry.

Because this time can be said to be a great favor of the emperor to the clan, everyone who can read and write an article and behaves in a good way has been assigned some positions, although they are still idle in most places.

But except for a very small number of people who know, no one else would believe that An Shicheng was leaked by the emperor.

An Shicheng's face was silent, but Qiu Ruyi, who was next to his pillow, knew that his heart was not at peace, otherwise he would not have locked himself in the book after knowing the news. (To be continued......)
