After Si Hongrui went down, he did not mention the matter of Luomei Villa again. Xia Qingyun wanted to ask the emperor what his reaction would be when he found out, but not long after Si Hongrui returned to the palace, he was called out by Hongjin of the National Protection Company, and he didn't even eat lunch at home.

The mother accompanied Mrs. Zhenguo to take care of the housework, the people cleaned the house, prepared the New Year's food, and the maid was busy sorting out the new clothes for the masters, and they were busy one by one.

Hua Yun and Qiu Yun took on the responsibility of managing their little partners very sensibly, and took the children from Yuzhou to practice and read in the side courtyard every day, and dozens of children got together, but there was no noise, which attracted praise from Mrs. and the housekeeper of the palace again and again.

After the twenty-third year of the lunar month, Qingyunxuan cleaned up inside and out, posted a notice at the door that 'closed for the Spring Festival, open on the sixth day of the first month', and gave each of the guys five taels of silver for the New Year's money, and then took a spring break.

The Fruit Forest Farm also had a holiday on the same day and did not reopen until the fifth day of the Lunar New Year.

Yao Xili gave each of the young people in the farm home a New Year's gift of 10 catties of rice noodles, 10 catties of pork, and 500 copper coins, which is quite a generous gift for most children from poor families.

Usually during the apprenticeship, there is no salary for food and shelter. But Qingyunxuan even sent quilts and winter clothes to poor people he didn't know, so how could he not distribute New Year's supplies to his students.

The students happily returned home with their things on their backs, and their families were overjoyed, and many parents led their children to Qingyunxuan to thank the owner for his generosity.

In addition, Yao Xili also deliberately found a few mothers-in-law who lived near Zuo, and each promised one or two pieces of silver. Let them boil porridge early as usual during the closure of business and give it to the homeless.

All the qiē is in the name of Qingyunxuan, and Yao Xili, the big treasurer, is responsible for the execution, and few people know that the owner of Qingyunxuan, who often does good deeds, is the lord of Taiping who has just been canonized by the emperor.

Three days after the holiday, that is, the day when the emperor personally invigilated the palace examination, Qinghe, Qinglian and Qingteng took Tian Zhenyu and drove a big carriage from Hejian back to the palace in the capital.

The car was loaded with 10 buckets full of fresh milk and eggs. And a dozen old hens. It's all self-produced on the Yao family's farm, let them bring it to taste it.

Of course, they came back three days late, not just to wait for these things. Instead, according to Xia Qingyun's orders. Two culverts were dug from the well in the Fruit Forest Farm. One leads to the Zhuangzi of Hua Sedum, and the other leads to Yao Xili's Farm.

In the beginning of spring, Xia Qingyun can mix the water of the Seven Stars into the well water. The crops of the three farms are nourished by spring water, and the survival rate is 100% guaranteed, and there are no pests and diseases.

The milk and eggs were directly put into the Ruyi Treasure Pavilion by Xia Qingyun, and the Qingmei were in a hurry to make tea, so she made the milk into whipped cream and butter, and baked more than a dozen cakes. Anyway, keep it in the treasure pavilion, always keep it as fresh as just baked, and wait until Chinese New Year's Eve and New Year's to eat outside.

On the twenty-ninth day of the lunar month, the emperor held a ceremony to announce the results of the palace examination.

Yuzhou student Gu Guanghui won the first class to explore flowers, gave Jinshi and the first, Lin Hanxue and three other students ranked second, gave Jinshi background, and the remaining eleven people were all admitted to the top three.

Although the champion and the list were won by others, more than a dozen students from Yuzhou all ranked among the top three, and the number was the largest since the founding of the country.

The governor of the southwest and the prefect of Yuzhou also won the emperor's commendation, and the emperor personally inscribed the four characters of 'Hanlin blessed land' and gave it to Yuzhou City.

The students who failed to make the list paused and vowed to go to Yuzhou to find a college to study in the coming year, and get a touch of the blessings there.

In fact, it is not seen that the students in Yuzhou are much more knowledgeable than others, just because they have received Xia Qingyun's funding, they don't have to worry about food and housing, and under the persuasion of Gu and Lin, they worship Xia Qingyun's immortal card every day, believing that she will bless them in high school.

To put it bluntly, it is to prepare for the exam without distractions, participate in the palace exam with confidence, and perform at a super level, how can you not get a good result?

After the list was issued, Gu Guanghui was immediately appointed as a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, and Lin Hanxue and others had to wait for the eighth day of the new year to go through the court examination, and after determining the ranking, they would be appointed to official positions on the basis of merit.

The champion wore red and hung colors on the street, and Gu Guanghui and other Yuzhou students celebrated with simple wine and food in the inn. Their inventory was funded by Xia Qingyun and could not be squandered, so the wine and food were not sumptuous, only slightly better than what they ate on weekdays.

More than a dozen people sat at two tables, and just after raising their glasses, the innkeeper knocked on the door and came in, and said with a smile: "Congratulations to all the old men from high school!" Someone sent you two tables of banquets from Runfeng Building, do you think they will be brought in? ”

Gu Guanghui and the others were stunned, they had no relatives in the capital, and they didn't worship some high-ranking officials as teachers like others, how could someone send a banquet? It is still the banquet of Runfeng Building, the first time-honored brand in Beijing, and it can't be done without dozens of taels of silver.

"Don't be careful, hurry up and carry it in!" Xue'er stood at the door, high-fived crisply, and the guy from Runfeng Building carried the food box with vermilion lacquer and flowers.

Gu Guanghui and Lin Hanxue had seen Xue'er once, he patted his head and asked excitedly: "Dare to ask Miss, are you a person from Qingyunxuan's Xia Dong family?" ”

Xue'er nodded generously and said with a smile: "Our county lord learned about the title of your gold list, so I specially asked me to send two tables of thin wine, and when the court examination is completed after the year, the county lord will have a banquet in the Qingyunxuan teahouse between the rivers." As he spoke, he took out a book of prayers and handed it to Gu Guanghui.

Gu Guanghui heard her call 'county lord', and was wondering to himself, took the post and looked at the payment, his excited voice trembled, "Brothers, the emperor's newly crowned Taiping county lord, the righteous daughter of Zhenguo Gong, is our benefactor Xia Dongjia!" ”

Cher laughed, "You nerds! The county lord asked me to tell you to be cautious in your words and deeds in the capital, guard against arrogance and rashness, and never form a party for personal gain, remember! ”

Everyone bowed down and thanked her, and Xue'er flashed aside, "I can't stand your big gift, so let's wait until I see the county lord and you will worship again." ”

With that, he said goodbye and left. Gu Guanghui and the others were excited, and they brought Xia Qingyun's immortal card, offered a few dried fruit snacks, three high incense, three bows and nine knocks, and then sat down to eat and drink.

It turned out that as soon as Si Hongrui returned to the palace, he told Xia Qingyun the good news, and she immediately sent Xue'er to book a banquet and found the inn with her post.

When his father and mother and Tian Zhenyu learned about it, they were also overjoyed, and Tian Zhenyu immediately kowtowed to Xia Qingyun three times, thanking her for her strong support to the students in Yuzhou.

Si Hongrui and his wife also nodded secretly, although the girl's kindness was not intended to win people's hearts, but more than a dozen Jinshi all accepted her kindness, and if they got an official position in the future, it would be a big help for her!

They were elated, but some people in the capital were not very happy, for example, Prime Minister Nangong Xi. (To be continued......)
