Throughout the ages, people are accustomed to the long drought and rain, the old acquaintance in a foreign land, the candle night in the cave room and the title of the gold list are known as the four great joys in the world, regardless of the civil management officials and eunuchs. For those who participate in the imperial examination, what they most desire is naturally to one day be named on the gold list, so as to embark on the road of career economy, so that they can be truly reborn, high-ranking officials can get seats, and horses can be ridden. Although the Taizheng Dynasty emphasized literature and light martial arts, but martial arts is still a way to enter the official career, for the people from all walks of life who participated in the martial arts, they not only have a war horse frontier loyalty to the country, do not break the enemy and do not return home, but also have the dream of not doing the rich and noble dream of the people. Whether it is Ximen Yonghao, who was born in the official eunuch, or Tang Lei, a rural grass man, they are very fond of this imperial examination, and they only wait for the title of the gold list to make their dreams come true. According to the imperial examination system of the Taisho Dynasty, the martial arts and liberal arts examinations are only released on the third day after the end of the examination. On this day, the emperor list is posted everywhere in the capital, and the above is the results of all the lifters in this exam, and the name that appears on the list is the winner, and if it does not appear on the list, it means that you have fallen off the list. This champion and the list are ranked one or two, and the latter is arranged according to the number of strokes of the surname, from today onwards, in addition to posting in various places in the capital, the emperor list will also be posted in various places, so as to announce the world.

Today is the day of the list, so the lifters left their stacks early, and walked to the street to see the list, hoping that they could have their own names on it, not only these movers are so concerned about the imperial list, but the people in the capital are also like this, and the focus of the conversation between the people after tea and dinner in the year of the big exam is naturally not to leave the imperial examination.

Ximen Yonghao already knew the results of the imperial examination, but he still walked out of the general's mansion after breakfast, and slowly came to the noisy street market, crowded into the crowd and looked at the list posted on the wall with everyone, Ran Ran saw his name appear at the top of the imperial list, and the font was extraordinarily larger, it looked very eye-catching, the young face bloomed with a brilliant and dazzling smile, the eyes as bright as the stars flashed with clear brilliance, and the corners of his mouth had a smile that could not be concealed, That kind of pride overflowed the heart, after looking at the emperor's list, Ximen Yonghao slowly walked out of the flow of people, his ears were filled with all kinds of voices, both for his adoptive mother and praise for the new champion, but also for his suspicion, because of his special identity, so many people must have a greasy nature and humanities, and at the same time there are sighs and losses of the famous Sun Shan's sons, for this Ximen Yonghao ignored it, but walked straight out of the noisy street, step by step towards the general's mansion. He walked forward proudly, but he didn't know that there was a pair of gentle eyes in the crowd behind him silently sending him away, and although they were in the same crowd, they still passed by.

Leng Rujin dressed as a man stood in the crowded crowd silently looking at which emperor list, because of love, so she paid attention to martial arts, this street is the closest to Ximen's house, so Rujin will expect Ximen Yonghao to appear, so she came. When she saw Ximen Yonghao's four words in the first place, her stiff face suddenly bloomed with a dazzling smile, but when she saw him leave, Rujin's heart sank to the bottom, vaguely she had a hunch that her love with Ximen Yonghao seemed to be coming to an end, thinking that yesterday's love was thick where you and I danced with two swords, and we hugged each other to see the end of the world. Buddha Yun's five hundred times of looking back in his previous life can be exchanged for the vast sea of people in this life and this life, passing by, maybe it is because you and I in the previous life are not looking back enough, so in exchange for the shallow fate of this life.

As soon as Ximen Yonghao returned to the General's Mansion, he was called by Mrs. Ximen, "Yonghao, you will enter the palace tomorrow, and you are not allowed to go anywhere today, by the way, just now the concubine Niangniang ordered Gonggong Liu to send a congratulatory gift, tomorrow you don't forget to go to Jingyang Palace to thank you." Mrs. Simon looked at her son with a smile of affection, so there was a lingering pride between her eyebrows. According to the rules, on the second day of the emperor's list, the new champion will enter the palace in front of the emperor, and the third day is to thank the examiner, which is called the thank you banquet, and then it is waiting for the imperial court to arrange the position for himself, which is completely different from the champion of Wenju, there is no need to cross the management for three days, and the champion is even more unlikely to enter the Hanlin Academy, or arrange to go to the place to do the seven pinzhi county.

Ximen Yonghao nodded hurriedly and humbly, and said mildly; "Mother, you are relieved, I won't go out today, but I want to go back to Chen's house with Yingying for lunch, what do you think?" Although Ximen Yonghao is young, he can be regarded as a little measured in his work, he knows that no matter what, he should go to his father-in-law Chen Yongkang's Taiwei Mansion in person.

Mrs. Simon was very much in favor of her son's idea, and said busily; "This is very good, don't forget your father-in-law's cultivation of you, you should be grateful for winning the champion now."

Ximen Yonghao talked to Mrs. Ximen for a while, and then returned to his residence, at this time Chen Yingying was sitting in the room sorting out the accounts, she heard the sound of the door opening, so she hurriedly raised her head from the account book, and looked at her husband with a smile on her face and walked in slowly, and then she slowly stood up, "Yonghao; I heard Holly, did you go to the street to look at the list? In Chen Yingying's eyes, Ximen Yonghao has always been so perfect, and now in her eyes, the wife is a husband, and now her husband has won the champion, then she has become the champion lady, how is this not Chen Yingying is overjoyed, she has the pride and pride of marrying Langjun, the luckiest thing for a woman is to marry the right person, Chen Yingying feels that she is lucky, although the relationship between their husband and wife is a little plain like water, but at least the other party is not a can't support Adou, Even if he can't give himself wholehearted love, he can give himself worry-free food and clothing, wealth and glory, which is enough.

Ximen Yonghao smiled faintly at Chen Yingying, who had a gentle face, and said; "Yes, I just came back from the street, and I went to my mother's place by the way."

The husband and wife sat opposite each other, Ying Ying lifted the teapot and poured a cup of tea for Ximen Yonghao and put it in front of him, saying; "I have something I want to discuss with you.

"It just so happens that I also want to talk to you, so why don't you go first." Ximen Yonghao took a sip of tea, and his eyes quietly stayed on Chen Yingying's soft and moving face with a little fat powder.

Ying Ying Road; "Just now the concubine sent Liu Gonggong to send a congratulatory gift, I want to give her a gift when I enter the palace another day, because I don't know the mother's preferences, so I don't know what to give, so I specially discussed it with you."

"It's hard for you to think about it, it's true that I've not been at home for ten years, and I really don't know too much about what my aunt likes, you should ask Xiaoman, she grew up next to her aunt, and she should know best about her aunt's preferences." Ximen Yonghao is a serious way.

Chen Yingying nodded slightly, "Your self-righteousness, I'll go and discuss this matter with Xiaoman after lunch, by the way, don't you have something to do with me, what's the matter, I'll listen." Yingying's eyes always stayed on Ximen Yonghao's face, and she was reluctant to move away for a moment, her tender eyes flashed with deep expectation, and she was also thinking about what the other party was going to do with herself.

Ximen Yonghao hooked the corners of his lips slightly, pondered for a while, and said; "Let's go back to my father-in-law's house for lunch."

Ying Ying was naturally overjoyed when she heard that she was going home, "Very good." “

Facing Chen Yingying's smile that bloomed like a flower, Ximen Yonghao's eyes were full of heart and pity.

"I heard that some Korean ginseng came in the treasury, as well as high-quality silk cloth, you can install your own will and choose some and we will take them to the Taiwei Mansion." Ximen Yonghao is very considerate.

Chen Yingying smiled, nodded slightly, and said softly; "I'll listen to you."

The two smiled at each other, looked at each other without saying a word, and tenderness slowly flowed in each other's eyes like a gurgling stream, until it flowed into the soft hearts of the two.
