Emperor Ming Kangdi put the red pen on the pen rest, stretched out his finger and clicked the word "Qiao Mo".

He once said that even if Qiao Mo had flaws on his face, he would be allowed to participate in the scientific expedition, which could be regarded as compensation for the Qiao family.

However, that is obviously a kind word, who came to participate in the imperial examination even after being disfigured? Aren't you afraid of being scary?

"Oh, Qiao Mo has regained his appearance?" After asking Wei Wufang, Emperor Ming Kangdi was a little surprised.

In that case, he didn't have to worry about seeing it in the future.

Emperor Ming Kangdi thought about it and circled it with a red pen on Qiao Mo's exam paper.

Anyway, everyone is determined, then Qiao Mo is the champion, Qiao Mo's grandfather is a Confucian, and it is logical that he is the champion among his grandsons, and the world will definitely think that he has a vision as the emperor.

After deciding on the top name, Emperor Ming Kangdi took a little effort as big as his fingernails to set the example and Tanhua, and then shouted: "Wei Wuxie, take a copper coin." ”

Wei Wuxian shook the corners of his mouth: "Your Majesty—" Isn't it okay for you to rely on copper coins so much?

"Huh?"

"Yes." Wei Wuxian presented a copper coin in both hands.

Emperor Ming Kangdi circled the remaining seven examination papers and turned the copper coins in the middle.

Well, after the copper coin stops, the "treasure" of "Fortune and Treasure" is aimed at which exam paper is set as the fourth.

Soon, Emperor Ming Kangdi decided on four to ten with the assistance of the copper coin, and sent Wei Wuxian to hand it out.

In the early morning of the next day, Emperor Ming Kangdi got up half an hour earlier than usual, which was very unhappy.

For the sake of this triennial "little rumor", it is really annoying to cause him to get up early and do morning classes in advance.

The ten candidates were either nervous or excited, and finally got to see Long Yan.

Ming Kangdi quickly saw Qiao Mo among the candidates and nodded secretly.

The appearance is better than he thought, and the ranking does not need to be changed.

There was no change in the ranking after Xiao Chuanlu, and he officially filled in the gold list, followed by the release of the list.

The official messenger who reported the good news beat gongs and drums and came to the Champion Hou's Mansion, attracting countless people to wait and see, and soon the news of the champion among the sons of the Qiao family spread all over the streets and alleys.

This is not the end, the same branch of Jinshi led by Qiao Mo went to the Qionglin banquet, and under the leadership of the champion of the new department, the Confucian Temple paid homage, and the Guozijian erected a monument, and the whole set of procedures was completed.

In the same year, he was known as a brother, especially in the same year, the connections in this circle were of great significance to the new scholars who were about to enter the career, and the champion naturally became the invisible leader of this group of people in a short period of time.

Of course, with the development of their respective countries after stepping into the officialdom, this prestige will weaken, but if the champion develops well, then it will have a decisive impact on this batch of people in the same year.

Qiao Mo knew this very well, and after giving Hanlin the revision, he respected the chief and his colleagues, and did his errands beautifully, and soon won the praise of the Hanlin Academy.

Among those who praised Qiao Mo was Li Guangwen.

"Qiao Mo's later life is really good, every time he plays chess with me, he is not perfunctory, and he does things neatly, not like those fools who are messing around." Li Guangwen, who came back from work, did not go home, but went next door, eating the green pepper belly fried by his prospective son-in-law, and commented on the wine.

"Yes, my uncle is indeed excellent." Shao Mingyuan smiled and glanced at Qiao Zhao, who was sitting on the side, and agreed.

Li Guangwen took a sip of wine, looked at Shao Mingyuan with half-squinted eyes, and shook his head while watching: "It's a pity, it's a pity." ”

Shao Mingyuan listened to "pity" several times in a row, and finally couldn't help asking: "What does the 'pity' in my father-in-law's mouth mean?" Isn't today's food and drink unappetizing? ”

"It's a pity that I only have an unmarried daughter Zhaozhao, Qiao Mo is such a good offspring, tsk-" Li Guangwen had already drunk a pot of wine, and he couldn't hide his words when he had the intention of drinking.

Shao Mingyuan broke out in a cold sweat.

Father-in-law, what does this mean!

Among the many rivals in love, is it difficult to count the eldest brother?

Qiao Zhao looked embarrassed, reached out and snatched the wine jug from Li Guangwen's hand, and said angrily: "Father, you drank too much." ”

Shao Mingyuan rubbed his cheeks depressedly.

It's because my father-in-law drank too much that he spit out the truth after drinking.

"Am I drinking too much? No, I just like to be honest and give me the flask. Li Guangwen was drunk and burped.

Qiao Zhao coughed twice and helped Li Guangwen to stand up: "Tingquan, I went back with my father." ”

Her father is so upright, and she is also helpless.

Shao Mingyuan nodded silently.

Some of them were heartbroken and didn't want to speak.

A hand reached over and tightened the hand holding him, and the girl's voice lowered: "I'll come back later." ”

Someone's face darkened immediately disappeared.

Marry your own daughter-in-law and let your father-in-law regret it.

In the blink of an eye, the weather is getting hot, the leaves are listless and glowing white, and the sound of cicadas is disturbing.

King Mu paced back and forth in the study, and after a few turns, he raised his foot and kicked over a chair.

The staff bent down to help the chair up, and persuaded: "Don't worry, the prince-"

"Not in a hurry? How can this king not be in a hurry! It was originally arranged for someone to get rid of the child in the belly of the fifth concubine, but he didn't succeed several times, but asked the fifth concubine to take precautions, and now that the concubine is a month old, it is even more difficult to succeed. ”

"Don't be impatient, don't be impatient, we still have a killer trick that we haven't used."

King Mu sat down, leaned back in his chair and squinted: "If it doesn't work out again, those wastes won't come back." ”

In the Rui Wang's Mansion, it was a quiet and peaceful afternoon, except for the noisy cicadas, the whole palace was quiet.

Suddenly, a miserable scream resounded through the palace: "Oh no, come on, my aunt has fallen-"

King Rui, who was resting in Li Jiao's courtyard, almost rushed out, his face pale: "Who fell?" ”

The maidservants knelt on the ground and said tremblingly, "Aunt Kyauk has rolled down the steps......

"Bastard, if something happens to Aunt Jiao, this king wants you to be buried with you!" King Rui, who had always been mild-tempered, raised his foot and slammed it towards the maidservant closest to him, and hurried over after kicking it.

"Kyaukniang, are you okay?"

Li Jiao's consciousness was sober, but he clutched his stomach in pain: "Lord, the concubine's stomach hurts so much......"

King Rui subconsciously looked down and saw a touch of red on Li Jiao's light-colored skirt.

"Blood!" King Rui shook his body and said loudly, "Hurry up and call the good doctor!" ”

Soon after, the good doctor came out of the room where Li Jiao was housed and shook his head heavily at King Rui.

King Rui almost fell down, and said hoarsely: "What about the imperial doctor, hasn't the imperial doctor who went to invite him come yet?" ”

The good doctor stepped aside, his head bowed silently.

A maid ran out of the room: "Lord, aunt, aunt, please come in!" ”

Rui Wang immediately walked in, half-squatting on the edge of the bed and holding Li Jiao's hand: "Jiaoniang, how are you?" You have to hold on, the Imperial Doctor will be here soon. ”

Li Jiao shook his head weakly, and shook King Rui's hand back with all his might: "Lord Wang, please...... Invite my third sister to come...... She is a disciple of Divine Doctor Li, and now only she can keep our children......"
