In the room, only a candle flickered. Under the candlelight, a little boy is doing homework, a girl is practicing calligraphy, and a woman is sewing clothes, which looks very warm.

Yuehuan practiced the word for an hour and began to check Tinglun's schoolwork, and Aunt Su next to her was very pleased that Yuehuan was becoming more and more sensible.

Yuehuan checked Tinglun's homework, and led Tinglun to rest, and when she came back, she saw Aunt Su blowing out the candle and replacing it with a tung oil lamp.

Candles are expensive, and tung oil is cheap but it hurts the eyes. Yuehuan took away the clothes in Aunt Su's hand: "Auntie, if you want to make clothes in the future, you will do it during the day, and don't make clothes at night, it hurts your eyes very much." "My aunt is only thirty years old, and her eyes have been affected, and in another ten years, Yuehuan is really worried about whether Aunt Su will be blind.

Aunt Su didn't go against her daughter: "You go to sleep too, you have to go to school tomorrow!" ”

Yuehuan waited until Aunt Su fell asleep before going back to her room, lying on the bed, she was not asleep, Yuehuan was thinking about today's events.

Yuehuan naturally knew about Yueyao's cousin Zhongjinshi, others said that Ma Peng was lucky, but she felt that Ma Peng was lucky, but it was not the luck in the exam but that she met Yueyao, if she didn't guess wrong, Yueyao should know the test questions and told Ma Peng, so Ma Peng would be in Jinshi, otherwise, where in the world is there really a pie.

Yuehuan thought about Yueyao's eyes that were so calm that nothing seemed to cause waves/one/book/reading/novel, during this time she observed carefully, and found that Yueyao was actually very quiet, really quiet, quietly doing her own thing, not provoking people and not harming others. She didn't know what happened before Yueyao was reborn, but she deduced from her aunt's attitude that Yueyao returned to Beijing, Mo's ruthlessness, and all kinds of things made her deduce that what happened to Yueyao before her rebirth must have been very bad. Yuehuan didn't understand why Yueyao was still so quiet and couldn't see anything wrong.

Yuehuan couldn't guess Yueyao's thoughts, but he could be sure of one thing, the psychological quality and patience of the three girls were very good, and they were beyond people's imagination.

Yuehuan twisted her shoulders, it was really tiring to be reborn in this era. Not only do you have to learn all kinds of things, but you also have to guard against the two maids around you. The aunt said that it would take time to buy these two maids, and she couldn't be in a hurry, and if she was in a hurry, something would happen. Ahem, why are people in this era so patient!

When the moon ring was turning around, Yue Yao had just finished practicing calligraphy. Compared with burning paintings, Yueyao Lian's plum blossom font is not hidden. The daughter of the family, there is always something that can be handled. When she goes out to socialize in the future, Yueyao plans to show her plum blossom font to everyone.

Mother Deng read Yueyao's handwriting and praised it sincerely: "The girl's handwriting is getting better and better." "It's a big step up from when she first came back. Mother Deng is not familiar with painting, but she also watched her wife practice plum blossom body by stroke, and she can still see a little.

Yue Yao put down the pen in her hand and smiled lightly: "Then tell me, how big is the gap between me and my mother?" "Mother Deng, as a confidant by my mother's side, must know something about this.

Mother Deng said with a smile: "In another three or five years, the girl will be able to pass Madame." "At the girl's rate of progress, three or five years is still a long time.

Yue Yao smiled, packed up her pen and ink and went out. When he went out, he saw that the moonlight was just right outside, and told Hua Bud to get a thick coat. She walked out into the yard by herself and looked at the orchids in the flower beds.

Yue Yao squatted down and looked at an orchid seriously by the faint light of the moonlight. The mosaic leaves are linear, sword-shaped, leathery, slightly drooping, and slightly curly; The peduncle bears many bracts. Probably because it's almost midnight, and there are still rolling water droplets on the flowers and leaves.

Yueyao blew lightly, and the water droplets rolled up and down.

Yue Yao smelled the faint fragrance and said, "The state of the orchid is different from what I saw during the day, why?" ”

Deng's mother looked at it again and again, and still felt the same.

Hua Bud took the clothes and put them on for Yueyao: "Girl, go back to sleep, you have to get up early tomorrow!" "The girl always goes to bed late, and she is worried that it will not be good for the girl.

Yue Yao shook her head, not too late, looking up at the moon hanging in the sky: "The moon is really round today." ”

Mother Deng and Hua Bud listened to Yueyao's words, and then looked up at the moon hanging in the sky with a big gap, and looked at each other and remained silent together.

Master Zhuang sent someone to investigate the three hundred people on the list, according to the people who sent them, these people deserved their names, simply put, no one was smashed by good luck like Ma Peng, and he would accidentally get such a good result.

Master Zhuang was still a little uneasy: "I hope I am too careful." ”

The henchman said with a smile: "Master, now everyone is talking about Hui Yuan Yu Zida!" It is said that he will be the first person to be the first person to be three yuan and the first since the opening of our Great Yuan Dynasty! ”

Master Zhuang said to himself, "I hope too." "If Yu Zida is three yuan and first, then Ma Peng's matter will be covered.

It's a pity that before the palace exam, there were rumors that Ma Peng was able to enter the Jinshi and had an insider, as for what this insider is, what else can he do besides cheating?

As soon as the incident of Ma Peng's scientific examination fraud spread, those who thought they were full of talent but failed to make the list were as excited as chicken blood, and several fallen lifters joined forces to run to the Gongyuan to make trouble, but they didn't know who was behind them, and the more they made trouble, the more fierce they became.

Ma Chengteng didn't panic when he heard this rumor, but just asked Ma Yuan to check: "See who is spreading this rumor." Ma Chengteng didn't know what kind of hatred this person had with their family, and he actually spread such rumors.

Ma Chengteng himself was not afraid, he was worried that Ma Peng would not be able to hold his breath, so he sent someone to call Ma Peng over and told him about it.

Ma Peng was a little worried: "Dad, in case ......"

Ma Chengteng interrupted Ma Peng's words: "Did you write the article for the scientific expedition yourself?" ”

Ma Peng nodded: "I wrote it." The article was written by his father to help correct many mistakes and give a lot of advice, but the article was indeed written by him.

Ma Chengteng stared at Ma Peng and said, "You wrote it, what are you afraid of." "It's not in the hands of others, and God knows that only four people know, so what about the rumors.

Ma Peng is not afraid of this question, but is worried that someone will ask him to take the test, and when the time comes, he will not be exposed if he does too badly.

Ma Chengteng didn't know what the troublemakers behind the scenes were thinking, but as long as the mastermind behind the scenes was arrested, this matter would be solved: "Don't worry, as long as you don't show your cowardice in front of outsiders." Also, you must calm down, others will talk to you, you know how to say "As long as it is not proved that there is fraud in this scientific examination, there will be no such thing as letting Ma Peng retake the exam, as for the reason is very simple, no one is full and has nothing to do." This behind-the-scenes messenger actually spread such rumors, his heart can be punished, as long as it is found out, someone will clean it up without his hands.

It has always been the most fearful of favoritism and fraud in the imperial examination, if there are really those examiners who will only cover up the matter, but unfortunately there is no such thing in this scientific examination, and several examiners will be angry at first when they spread such rumors.

What Ma Chengteng didn't expect was that after the rumors came out, the emperor sent someone to take Ma Peng's article to read it. The emperor looked at Ma Peng's answer sheet, the answer sheet did not alter a word or typo, it was clean and tidy, and it was comfortable to read; Secondly, the words are written in a rich and round manner, and the line is through. As for the content of the article, it is decent, not to the point of brightening the eyes, but there are also outstanding points.

Except for Ma Peng's accident, none of the three hundred tributes on the apricot list had such an amazing performance. Just one Ma Peng, where can fraud be involved, the only thing that makes sense is that the examiner released water and acted favoritism.

After reading it, the emperor didn't give an evaluation: "Post this article and let everyone see if the examiner is favoritism." ”

After Ma Peng's article was posted, several well-known gentlemen from Bailu Academy commented on his article. Everyone unanimously agreed that it was no problem for this article to be in the second grade, but with the style of this article, the forty-eighth place was a little higher. But in an exam like this, sometimes it's just luck to get the top and bottom of the rankings. Because the examiners have different hobbies, the ranking will also fluctuate. Ma Peng's article is clean and tidy, which gives the examiner a good impression, and the words that Ma Peng learns are exactly what the examiner likes, and it is normal to rank high.

Then Ma Peng's husband stood up and said that although Ma Peng was average, he studied hard and was a good student. If it is a gentleman who does not learn and has no skills, it is doubtful, although such a diligent student is lucky, but there is also a foundation.

The day after Ma Peng's article was posted, Yu Zida's article was also posted. As soon as Yu Zida's article was posted, no one paid attention to Ma Peng anymore, because everyone read Yu Dacaizi's masterpiece.

Mother Deng was shocked and sweated: "Girl, fortunately I didn't say to let the young master retake the exam." ”

Yue Yao chuckled: "Unless the emperor decrees that my cousin should retake the exam, no one has the right to let my cousin retake the exam, and the emperor will never make such a decree." "If the emperor made a holy decree to let his cousin retake the exam, he would also indirectly admit that there was favoritism and fraud in this scientific examination, and the emperor would be stupid to do such a thing.

Yueyao still didn't tell Mother Deng, as long as the eldest cousin's results in the palace exam are excellent, no one will suspect the eldest cousin, and it can't be said that the emperor is also cheating.

Mother Deng said hatefully: "I don't know who spread such a heart-wrenching rumor, and he really deserves to go to the eighteenth layer of hell." ”

Yue Yao smiled, who spread the rumors I believe that my uncle will find out. Yue Yao asked people to get an article about Yu Zida's examination, and looking at the article that was exactly the same as in her memory, Yue Yao couldn't help laughing. The article is still the same article, but the fate of the eldest cousin has changed because of this article, and the Ma family should be grateful to Yu Zida.

After the Ma family and the dealer worked together to track down, they quickly found out the source of the rumors, which were rumors spread by the Lin family.

Yue Yao got the news and said strangely: "What kind of hatred does my uncle have with their family?" "There is no great feud where such rumors can be spread.

Seeing Mother Deng's head, Yue Yao laughed and threw the matter away. Anyway, this matter also fell.

Ruolan was shocked when she got the news: "The Lin family, it turned out to be the Lin family?" Why? It turned out to be a rumor spread by the Lin family, who didn't say that she was married, and she didn't understand why.

Zhuang Changhe said disdainfully: "The eldest son of the Lin family has taken one hundred and forty-six exams, and Mrs. Lin thinks that her brother-in-law is not as talented as her son, and she goes around preaching that her brother-in-law's name is not worthy of the truth, and it is obtained by fraud, and someone is behind the scenes, so there is an accident." ”

Mrs. Lin was very angry that the Zhuang family was going to marry their family, but they suddenly destroyed the marriage, and later Ruolan Xu gave it to Ma Peng, and Mrs. Lin laughed at it. But now Ma Peng is better than her son, how can she swallow this breath, and when she went out to socialize, she muttered to this familiar lady, and the rumors spread.

Ruolan laughed and said: "If this is the case, it is really a disaster." ”

Zhuang Changhe said hatefully: "Sister, don't worry, the Lin family won't have a good time." Zhuang Changhe was angry at the thought of how much trouble the Lin family's actions had caused to his sister. My sister has brought so much trouble to the Ma family before she enters the door, doesn't this make the Ma family unhappy?

Ruolan smiled: "Don't worry, my sister will be fine." "The Lin family's matter is just an accident, if the people of the Ma family want to blame her, she should also suffer it. However, Ruolan will not worry about the bad days in Mafu because of this incident. She gave up the talented and good-looking eldest son of the Lin family and chose the mediocre and wooden Ma Peng, the Ma family should think that she has a vision.

It turns out that Ruolan thought too much, and Ma Chengteng and Ma Peng didn't blame her at all, because Ma Peng did cheat in the exam this time, and some people must suspect it. There is no Lin family, there is also the Zhou family and the Zhao family. Although some gentlemen have come out to correct Ma Peng's name, if the palace examination results are too far behind and become the bottom, there will be more doubtful people at that time, so Ma Peng reads books and looks for information in the study every day to prepare for the palace examination.

Soon it was time for the palace exam, and the results of the palace exam came out, and the champion was Yu Zida. According to Yueyao, Yu Zida is the darling of God's favor.

The child test is the head of the case, the township test is the solution yuan, the meeting test is the meeting yuan, and the palace test is the champion; Three yuan and the first, Yu Zida deserves his name.

Sanyuan and the first, the first person since the founding of the Great Yuan Dynasty. After this news came out, the entire capital was boiling. Even everyone in the mansion is talking about this, and they all say that Yu Zida is a Wenqu star.

The number one man of the year is naturally Yu Zida, and the number two man of the year is Ma Peng. Everyone was also staring at the results of his temple exam. What makes people look big is that Ma Peng's palace examination results are better than those in the examination, and the forty-eight students were moved to the thirty-second place, and he entered the Hanlin Academy as a Jishi.

Although Ma Peng's chance of entering the Hanlin Academy is almost zero, he went to the Hanlin Academy for three years, which really gave him a layer of gold.

The palace examination is the emperor's question on the spot and answered it in the court, and there is no possibility of favoritism and malpractice at all. As soon as the results of the palace examination came out, the previous rumors were swept away, and everyone believed that Ma Peng was lucky, and talent was naturally the most important, but luck was also what everyone yearned for.

When Master Zhuang got the news, he finally put down his hanging heart, and he was worried that he would be used to get involved in right and wrong.

Zhuang Changhe said: "Dad, brother-in-law is not such a person. ”

When Lord Zhuang heard this, he was furious: "Your brother-in-law has been admitted to the Hanlin Academy, what about you?" ”

Zhuang Changhe was not as good as Ma Peng's luck, and his ranking in the palace examination was moved back by more than 20 places: "Dad, I don't want to go to Hanlin Academy." I went to the Ministry of Rites as an errand boy, so it's good to train early. "If he wants his father to find a relationship, he can naturally go to the Hanlin Academy, but he doesn't like this.

Lord Zhuang nodded: "Cheng, then you go to the Ministry of Officials on an errand." "Lord Zhuang's meaning is also to let his son go to the errand first, it is noble to enter Hanlin, but it is not worth it to find someone to enter, it is better to accumulate qualifications as soon as possible.

Yue Yao smiled when she learned that Ma Pengdian's test results were good. This is expected, if you still fail the test under such a premise, it is really rotten wood.

During the recess, Yue Bing said with great interest: "I heard from my eldest brother that Yu Zida has the ability to never forget. At the age of one, he began to read and write, at the age of three he was familiar with the Four Books and the Five Classics, at the age of four he was able to write a chapter, and at the age of five he was able to write a good article......"

Yueyao didn't seem to have ears, and practiced calligraphy wholeheartedly.

Yue Bing couldn't see Yue Yao's calm: "Third sister, why don't you speak?" I heard that Yu Zida is a Jiangnan person, haven't you heard of Zida's name in Jiangnan for so many years? "Such a talent is rare in a century.

Yue Yao gathered the notes in her hand: "I haven't heard of it." "It's also strange to say, Yu Zida didn't have a special reputation before she became famous, she hadn't heard of Zida's name in Jiangnan, so those who knew words and read at the age of one and read the Four Books and Five Classics at the age of three were all. Yu Zida was not named the champion by the emperor, and his reputation began to spread.

Yue Bing ignored the bored Yue Yao.

Yuehuan glanced at Yueyao thoughtfully, and when she saw her reopen her notes, she really admired it in her heart, this woman was so calm, she couldn't even look at it calmly. Yuehuan thought about it, it seemed that she had to find a chance to talk to her, she thought a lot during this time, and still thought that it was the most beneficial thing to befriend Yueyao, not to mention anything else, she would definitely know the future direction of this kind of national event. As long as you have a day of opportunity, you can change your fate, such as the matter of Yueyao's cousin this time.

Yueying said weakly: "I heard that Yu Zida took a two-month leave to go home and get married, and I don't know what kind of woman he married?" "How happy it should be to marry such a person.

Yue Bing also became interested: "Yu Zida's fiancée is in Jiangnan, and I will know how she looks later." "It has to be equal to Zida who brought his wife to the capital.

Yueyao didn't respond, she only knew about Yu Zida's three yuan and the first, and she didn't have the slightest impression of Zida's private life. Of course, even if there is an impression, Yueyao will not say.

Yuehuan looked at Yueying with a strange face, this is only thirteen years old, won't he think of spring? It's too early, and the girls of ancient times are terrible.

Ma Chengteng is all loose all over, and his son entered the Hanlin Academy to become a Shujishi, not to mention those who entered the cabinet to worship the prime minister, but the future of this life is not bad.

There is an old saying that is good, luck can't be stopped, here Ma Peng is lucky to enter Hanlin, over there Ma Chengteng has been promoted, and the fourth official has been promoted to the third grade.

From the fourth grade to the third grade, this is a chasm, and many people are stuck on it for several years and can't go up. Ma Chengteng also stayed in this position for six years, and he didn't expect to be promoted when he didn't have any thoughts.

Yue Yao was surprised for a long time when she heard that Ma Chengteng had been promoted, and after calming down, she said to herself: "It will get better and better." "Because of her little wings, it is a good thing that she has changed the fate of her uncle and cousin and made them better and better.
