After settling Yao Keyi and hugging her newborn niece for a long time, Yao Keqing suddenly remembered that he had forgotten to send a letter to Song Ziqing saying that he was going to return home late, and immediately hurriedly said goodbye, Su Zhen said with a smile, "My cousin-in-law has come early and has been waiting in the outer courtyard!" I'll send you over, or I'll really want to keep you for a day this big night! ”

Yao Keqing breathed a sigh of relief, followed Su Zhen to the outer courtyard, and sure enough, he saw Song Ziqing's figure at the second gate, hurriedly walked over, and preemptively explained that he had forgotten to tell him in the ward, "The third sister had a sudden seizure, I was the only one by my side at the time, and I had never experienced such a thing, so I forgot to inform you in a hurry!" ”

The weather was slightly cool in the evening of late spring, and Song Ziqing held her cold hand in the palm of her hand to warm it, "I guess you are entangled in something, just come and see, I didn't expect to encounter a happy event, and it is also a good thing to be happy!" ”

Thinking of the soft and lovely appearance of the newborn little niece, Yao Keqing's mood was very excited, "The third sister was born very smoothly in this womb, and she should be able to get out of bed and walk around when the little niece washes the third!" Compared with Su Zhen's weakness after giving birth, Yao Keyi's condition is much better, and her daughter was born and hugged for a long time before drinking ginseng soup and falling asleep.

"I think my little niece's face is more like the third sister, and she will be a beauty in the future!" Yao Keqing kept babbling about the child, sometimes pausing for a moment, with joy mixed with loss and envy.

She will envy others too! It's all his fault!

Song Ziqing was stabbed by Yao Keqing's eyes, but she didn't know how to comfort her, so she could only hold her in her arms, tightly, and use her body temperature to iron her wrinkled heart.

Kids, they're going to have it!

Since then, Song Ziqing has always worked extra the bed, but every time he does things honestly and well, he rarely plays tricks! Yao Keqing was strange and didn't want to ask much, but silently showed the prescription given by Zhu to Imperial Doctor Cao, who changed it slightly after reading it and asked Yao Keqing to finish the three patches first and then change it.

Since the Yao family broke up last year, the Changxiang Hou Mansion has held fewer banquets, and this time the banquet in the name of celebrating Yao Qishen is a rare and lively one, but Xiao Miao's family did not pick a good day, and it happened to collide with the wedding of the fourth prince of Chongguo Mansion Zheng Sigong on the same day.

This family affair of the Chongguo Mansion is related to the diplomatic relations between the two countries, the national society, and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty have to go to the Zheng family to show their faces, so that the celebration banquet of the Changxiang Mansion is full of people for a while, and even the party Yao Qishen appeared at the banquet of the Zheng family of the Chongguo Mansion.

Someone asked him, "Yao Huiyuan, isn't your family holding a celebration banquet for you today?" Why did you still run out to drink other people's wine? ”

"My family?" Yao Qishen sneered and asked, "My parents died early, and now I live in my uncle's house with my stepmother and brother, where did I come from!" ”

Everyone immediately understood that the banquet of the Yao family was just wishful thinking in the second room of the Yao family, and they couldn't help but be glad that they didn't go.

Xiao Miao looked at the few guests, gritted a mouthful of silver teeth, but did not dare to slack off in the slightest, otherwise the few guests would be scared away.

Yao Chongming wanted to use a big banquet to make the world think that the two rooms of the Changxiang Hou Mansion had been rebuilt, so as to save his reputation, and secondly, he could take the opportunity to collect money, but he also wanted to be forced by public opinion, Yao Qishen had to come forward, not only did he not see Yao Qishen at all, not only did he not even see the shadow from beginning to end, but he also demolished his platform in the Chongguo Mansion, and the second room failed to accumulate wealth but became a laughing stock in Beijing.

Until the beginning of the palace test, there were dozens of tables for the banquet, and in the end, only a dozen people came, and the banquet was still talked about.

On April 21, all those who excelled in the examination entered the Baohe Hall to participate in the palace examination presided over by the Son of Heaven himself.

This is the second time Emperor Yao has seen Yao Qishen, the first time is when Yao Jingxing's true body was verified in the courtyard, after a few years, he has grown up a lot, although he is only a teenager under the age of fourteen, his childish appearance does not make people ignore his steady temperament, compared to people in their twenties or even thirties who are also present.

After the roll call, scattering papers, praising and saluting, the examiner issued the policy question, the topic is the current policy, and the plan to inquire about the people's livelihood should be important, which is the type that Yao Qishen is good at, and he immediately has seven or eight points in his heart.

Because Yao Qishen won the first place in the examination, Emperor Yao couldn't help but pay more attention to him, the more he looked at this observation, the more satisfied he became, the advance and retreat were measured, his words and deeds were correct, he was still young now, he would be the pillar of the country one day, calculate the age, it would be time after more than ten years, Emperor Yao's heart moved!

The papers are handed over at dusk, and the officials such as the volume, the palm scroll, and the seal are collected and stored, and they are handed over to the officials who read the papers, and they are circulated in turn, and the ten test papers with the most excellent grades are selected and submitted to Emperor Yao.

When Emperor Yao turned to the fourth book, he saw a rather familiar font, looked up at a pair of calligraphy and paintings hanging on the opposite wall, and sure enough, there were five points of similarity, so he guessed that this was Yao Qishen's test paper, but compared to his sister's words, Yao Qishen's font as a man was a little more resolute and strong.

Reading it carefully, Emperor Yao was even more amazed, it was really rare to have such an opinion at a young age, and no one could have thought of these words in the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, so he couldn't help but read it twice before putting it aside and taking a test paper.

After reading the ten test papers, Emperor Yao was in a very happy mood, and asked the officials at the head of Hou with a smile, "What do you think of the candidates for this year?" ”

The examiner had been carefully observing Emperor Yao just now, and seeing that Emperor Yao had stayed on the fourth test paper for an extra long time, he guessed that Emperor Yao Xu was most satisfied with the fourth test paper, so he boldly said, "Although the number of candidates in this session is smaller than that of the previous one, but the knowledge is stronger, one of the ten volumes in front of His Majesty is particularly shocking to read, many ministers have never thought of it, but they feel very feasible, it really makes the ministers ashamed!" ”

Emperor Yao laughed after hearing this, and the examiner's words obviously went to his heart, "I also think that this one is the best, although the other nine copies are also considered masterpieces, and some of them are also advisable, but they are still a lot inferior to this one!" Emperor Yao took out the fourth test paper and handed it to Father-in-law De'an.

Father-in-law De'an handed this test paper to the examiner, and after the examiner read it, he handed it over to the other examiners, and the other examiners agreed after reading it.

"Indeed!"

"Not only is the insight unique, but even the handwriting is so strong and powerful!"

"Exactly! Look at this font square and round, it must be a young adult student! ”

……

In the end, Emperor Yao concluded, "Since Zhu Aiqing also agrees, then this part is the first to be given!" ”

All the courtiers hurriedly knelt down to congratulate, "Congratulations to Your Majesty on your good material, and the country will be forever!" ”
