The chief examiner of this year's township examination is said to be the Lord Lang Tong of the Ministry of Rites who is in-law with the Guan family, Qi Jing got the news from the Guan family, and specially researched and explored the preferences and temperaments of the Tong family, and he was completely relieved.

Tong is a pragmatic person, he doesn't like gorgeous literary styles and doesn't like to pile up words and sentences, but if the literary style is gorgeous and has something to say, he won't specifically target it.

And Tong is an upright person, never cheats on selfishness, he is the main exam, and he does not have to be afraid of fraud in the examination room.

Qi Jing was relieved to prepare for the exam, and when he got up early in the morning on the first day of the opening of the department, Yun Yao specially asked Sister-in-law Liu to boil a few eggs for him to eat, and filled the examination basket with food, the four treasures of the study, etc., checked it several times, and called Qi Jing up when he saw that he had not forgotten anything.

During the scientific examination, for fear of entrainment of candidates, only single clothes were allowed, and now it was autumn, in the end, it was cold, and it was still very cold to wear single clothes, Yun Yao found a thick cotton cloth for Qi Jing to make a single clothes, and made shoes for him to change.

After cleaning up, Qi Jing ate the eggs, put on the test basket and left.

The place where they lived was not far from the Tribute Courtyard, and Qi Jing did not take the car, but walked to the Tribute Courtyard.

When he passed, there were already many people waiting outside the Gongyuan, and the familiar Xiucai all stood together and talked, looking very comfortable and relaxed, but if he looked closely, most of them were still a little nervous.

Qi Jing also saw a few classmates and friends, and after a few words in the past, the door of the Gongyuan was opened, and several officials stood at the gate of the Gongyuan in turn to supervise the entry of the talents.

Every past talent has to be searched, and the exam basket has to be opened and tested, and so on. It took a long time just to enter the venue.

When it was Qi Jing's turn, the inspecting official changed his eyes when he saw the thick cotton clothes on Qi Jing's body, and after a little search, he asked him to go in.

Qi Jing didn't pay attention to it, and he didn't think about what was going on, and when he entered the Gongyuan and found his room, he heard Xiucai in the room next door ask him: "You bought this dress from Zhenqiao Pavilion, I see that the needlework is very similar, this dark pattern embroidery is really good, and the price is definitely not low." ”

Only then did Qi Jing think that the official should have opened the door for him to be convenient, and the reason was the clothes on his body. I couldn't help but sigh. Now the Great Zhou Dynasty not only looks at the face, but also respects the clothes first and then the people.

After a while, the examiner came in, first worshiped the tablet of the saint, and began to seal the tribute courtyard. After explaining the rules of the exam, the paper will be handed out.

Qi Jing read the exam paper first. The questions above are not difficult. He had also seen what he had memorized, and after reading it, he pondered for a while and began to write.

After only a few questions, it was time for lunch. Many of the showmen began to take out dry food to eat.

Qi Jing watched others eating, he also took out the meatloaf, took out a small stove from under the examination basket, lit the stove and boiled some soup, baked the meatloaf and began to eat it.

After lunch, Qi Jing continued to do the questions, because they were all familiar topics, he wrote quickly, and after writing the questions in front of him, he checked that the sky was already dark.

Qi Jing was not happy to light the lamp to write, so he simply tidied up the bed and fell asleep.

I didn't say anything all night, and I continued to get up the next day to take the exam, and the second **** wrote all the exam questions, checked them carefully, and finally copied them again, and wrote the name card on the desk.

After doing all this, Qi Jing only felt tired, seeing that the examiner was not called to hand in the papers, he fell asleep again, and when he got up, he had already begun to collect the papers, Qi Jing respectfully handed in the exam papers and put the examination basket out of the examination room.

As soon as he came out, he saw a two-horse car parked not far away, and Yun Yao opened the curtain and beckoned to him.

Qi Jing was a little puzzled, but he still walked over quickly with the test basket, and when he got into the carriage, Qi Jing asked, "Whose carriage is this?" ”

Yun Yao pursed her lips and smiled: "It's the Xie family, Xie Dingguo came to visit before, and when I learned that you participated in the Autumn Festival, I specially called his family's carriage to wait at the gate of the Gongyuan today, waiting to pick you up." ”

"But it made him worry about it." Qi Jing's face was a little bad, and after asking a few words, he fell asleep by relying on Yun Yao.

Yun Yao knew that he must be tired, so he didn't call him, and asked the coachman to slow down and walk steadily, and when he arrived at the door, Yun Yao really had no choice but to wake up Qi Jing, and when Qi Jing entered the house, Yun Yao hurriedly thanked the coachman of the Xie family, and wanted to leave someone for tea, but the coachman only said that there was something to do when he went back, and Yun Yao gave some reward money to send people away.

When she arrived at the house, Yun Yao asked the girl to bring water for Qi Jing to bathe, and then took a clean jacket from the cabinet and put it aside to wait for Qi Jing to change in.

After putting the clothes away, Yun Yao hurriedly went out again and asked Sister-in-law Liu to heat up the meal.

After a while, Qi Jing put on clean clothes and came out of the house, and the peony immediately brought the food over, Qi Jing sat down at the table and ate it hard, and after eating, the whole person seemed to be alive and energetic.

Qi Jing was very sleepy when he didn't take a bath, but he wasn't sleepy after taking a bath and eating, so he simply didn't sleep, so he walked around the back garden with Yun Yao a few times until the two of them fell asleep after eating at night.

After the scientific examination, Qi Jing didn't have to study harder, he felt that he owed Yun Yao a lot in the past few months, and took Yun Yao out to have fun every day when the autumn was cool and the scenery was beautiful.

Either go to the mountains to find the secret and explore, or go to the market tiles to listen to books and watch plays, and when you are tired of playing, you can find a clean small restaurant to eat.

In this way, the two of them became closer and closer, and the city was like a person like glue all day long.

After playing for a while, when it was time to release the list, Yun Yao was very nervous, and she had to send someone to see the list early in the morning, but Qi Jing was very relaxed, only saying that she didn't have to, and said that someone would naturally congratulate her if she was on the list anyway, so there was no need to squeeze and see.

Seeing Qi Jing so relaxed, Yun Yao simply let go, and found a restaurant with Qi Jing to drink and listen to gossip, the two of them sat for a while, and then saw the little maid who had just bought it at home hurriedly running, and as soon as he entered the door, he couldn't even bother to wipe his sweat and said: "Master, master, hurry back, the roll call official has arrived at the door, the master has been hit, ...... has been hit."

Yun Yao stood up suddenly: "Really hit, how many places?" ”

The little guy said loudly: "Hit, the first name, the first name Xie Yuangong." ”

"Go back." Yun Yao waved her hand, pulled Qi Jing and ran away, Qi Jing hurriedly threw a piece of silver on the table and shouted, "Little Er, settle the bill." ”

The shopkeeper of the restaurant stepped forward with a smile: "No need, no need, congratulations to Xie Yuangong." ”

Qi Jing didn't refuse, and dragged Yun Yao to hurry home.

When I arrived at home, I saw that Sister-in-law Liu had invited the roll-call officer into the house, Qi Jing hurried over to entertain her, and gave him money and smiled to entertain.

Sending away the errand servants, the little servant Song Xi took a lot of long whips and hung them at the door, and in a burst of crackling horns, the neighbors came to see the excitement, and after knowing that Qi Jing won the first name Xie Yuan, the joy continued.

Yun Yao was also overjoyed, and asked Peony and Peony to carry a large basket of copper coins to the door to disperse, and the two little girls took a lot of effort to carry a basket of copper coins to the gate, and one of them grabbed it and shouted and said: "My lord won the first name Xie Yuangong, and he gave all the neighbors happy money......

When the adults and children swarmed up, they were ready to receive the money, several large handfuls of money thrown out, some called people to pick up, some fell to the ground, the children screamed and laughed on the ground to pick up the money, the adults were also happy to pick up a few joyful, go home and put it in the cabinet or put it on the neck or arm for the child, maybe they can also have a Xie Yuangong.

When the girl finished dispersing the happy money, Yun Yao gave Song Xi a few pieces of broken silver and told him to hurry up to Qijiazhuang to report the good news.

Who knew that Song Xi had not left Qi Jing came over, and Qi Jing immediately said to Yun Yao: "Pack up your things, let's go back to Qijiazhuang tomorrow." ”

"Hey." Yun Yao smiled and agreed, before entering the house to pack up, and saw Peony coming in, as soon as Peony entered, she hurriedly said: "Madam, the master said that he would not be busy cleaning up first, there were several posts sent just now, some invited the master to participate in the deer banquet, and some invited the master to enjoy the maple leaves, and there were also a few poetry meetings to participate." ”

Yun Yao frowned and only said that she knew, took apart the wrapped clothes and put them away, and when she went out and saw Qi Jing standing in the courtyard, Yun Yao opened her mouth and asked, "Why are these things happening?" ”

"I can't get out of it." Qi Jing was very regretful, and turned back to Yun Yao and smiled: "I originally planned to go back to the village after visiting the master, but I didn't expect the post to be sent so early, if I didn't go, I would inevitably offend people, and I could only pick some important ones to go on." ”

"Then I'll prepare two more clothes for you."

Yun Yao has lived in the Great Zhou Dynasty for a few months, and she has also paid a lot more attention, and after saying a few words to Qi Jing, when she returned to the house, she picked out a few clothes from the wardrobe, and put them away with purses, sachets, jade belts, silver crowns and other accessories, and picked out the gifts that the two of them chose together a few days ago from another cabinet and put them away.

She packed up Qi Jing and entered the house, took an ancient inkstone and a few fans with exquisite workmanship, plus a kang screen from Zhenqiao Pavilion, all of which were packed or packaged, packed up and went out to visit the master.

When he came back, it was late, Yun Yao saw that he was drunk and smoky, so she hurriedly asked Sister-in-law Liu to cook a sobering soup and come over, served Qi Jing to drink, moved him to the kang, took off his shoes and socks and covered the quilt before he breathed a sigh of relief.

The next day, Qi Jing participated in the Luming Banquet, he walked on the front foot, and Qi Laoniu and Qi Gu came with the six girls of the Qi family, Yun Yao welcomed people into the house, and after serving tea, he stood in front of Qi Gu's and gave Qi Gu's a deep salute: "Congratulations to your second elder, Xianggong has the first name Xie Yuan, in the future, your second elder is a serious old lady and old lady, and our family is also the home of the official gentry, which can be regarded as a change of household." ”

Yun Yao's words were good, and the smiles on the faces of Qi Laoniu and Qi Gu couldn't go back.

Qi Gu pulled Yun Yao and laughed: "Okay, okay, this is a big happy event, it is a happy event for our whole family, the fourth middle school understands the yuan, our big guys are happy, in the future, maybe the fourth child can really be an official and slaughter, and he can also earn you a life."
