"Mother, you and your father are in charge, leave more to your brother! It's also time for him to propose. Yun Xi said.

"He's not a businessman, and I'll have to take care of it with your father if I leave the supermarket to him."

"After the palace tried, I begged the emperor to find my brother an official position in the court." Yun Xi said.

"That's the only way, he doesn't know how to do business, so he has to find an official position and find a girl from a good family to marry, he is also a big boss, you are married, and your mother also wants to find a girl from a good family to propose to your brother." Mother said

Yun Xi really doesn't know what a good girl in her mother's mouth is like, and thinks that her brother is asking for more blessings! I can't manage that much myself. "Mother, I'm tired, I'm going to rest if I have nothing else to do." After saying that, Yun Xi yawned and went back to his boudoir, perhaps because of his weak body, Yun Xi threw himself on the bed and fell asleep after a while.

I slept until night, and I didn't wake up until my mother woke her up for dinner. After dinner, Yun Xi went back to the room to rest. Because of the sufficient sleep, Yun Xi got up early the next day, and after getting up, Yun Xi hastily ate something, got into the carriage and prepared to go to see Jia Chen, when he saw his mother suddenly shouting in the back: "Niuniu, where are you going?" ”

"My mother-in-law is going to take the palace exam tomorrow, I'll go see how he reads." Yun Xi said.

"I advise you not to go, if you go, it will affect his study, you should stay and learn to embroider purses from your mother!" Niang Qin built yì road.

"Then I'm not going, but why do we have to embroider on our purses, mother. We can print, and we have the tools to print. ”

"Child, our custom here is that on the day of marriage, the bride wants to send a purse to her father-in-law, and the purse is a pair of mandarin ducks embroidered by herself, which represents the two people who have been together for the rest of their lives, and the silk show represents the husband's future bright future, so the bride should embroider it by hand."

"Mother, you better spare me! I don't know how to embroider, let alone embroider mandarin ducks. Or you will embroider. Let's just say that I embroidered it. ”

"You kid, how can you let others show for you, don't you know how to draw? You can draw it on the cloth and then embroider it little by little with silk threads. ”

Yun Xi pursed her mouth: "That's it." ”

"By the way, I'm going to make two purses. You're a little morning one. ”

"Got it." Yun Xi pouted and said.

Yun Xi found paint and brushes from the study. I took the cloth handed over by my mother. Put the cloth on the table, mix the paint, and draw on the cloth. After a while, a pair of colorful mandarin ducks jumped on the cloth, and when the two pieces of cloth were painted with mandarin ducks, Yunxi made a difficulty, and only cared about looking good when painting, the feathers of the mandarin ducks were painted in a colorful and very good-looking way, and even in order to look good, Yunxi also used several colors to adjust into a special color, where to find so many colors of silk thread?

Seeing Yun Xi looking at the painting she had drawn, her mother reminded: "Niuniu, are you worried about the silk thread anymore?" ”

"Mother, I can't find so many colors of silk thread." Yun Xi said worriedly.

"This kid is usually very smart, why is this confused, can't you dye the white thread to the color you need?"

The corners of Yun Xi's mouth twitched, took a lock of white thread and dyed the color in the dye he had prepared just now, and let it be taken out to dry, after the silk thread was dried, Yun Xi began to embroider purses under the guidance of his mother, and the hard work paid off, and after about two hours of embroidery, the mandarin duck on the first piece of cloth was finally embroidered, looking at his masterpiece Yun Xi twitched the corner of his mouth and said: "Mother, why do I always feel that I don't embroider like a mandarin duck but like a pigeon." ”

"Look at your mouth, you kid. What nonsense. ”

"Yes, you see, how can there be such a scrawny mandarin duck." Yun Xi pouted and looked at the mandarin duck he had cultivated and said.

"Haven't you embroidered yet? You should have embroidered the edges you drawn, wouldn't the mandarin duck be much fatter. ”

"That's what you said," Yun Xi took it and embroidered the edge again, feeling much better this time.

Yun Xi only rusted four mandarin ducks in the whole morning, and after eating at noon, Yun Xi made two mandarin duck purses under the guidance of his mother. After making the purse, Yunxi hurriedly finished dinner and fell asleep.

Early the next morning, Yun Xi asked Uncle Li to drive the carriage to pull himself and his brother to find Jia Chen, Jia Chen picked up Yun Xi at the door, and saw Yun Xi get down from the carriage and hurriedly greeted him, Yun Xi asked, "Are you ready?" ”

"I'm ready, I've been waiting with my parents for a while."

"Then let's go! Aunts and uncles, go back! Yun Xi and Jia Chen said goodbye to Jia Chen's parents and rushed to the Jinluan Palace in the same carriage, and Yun Xi saw the examiners standing at the door of the main hall waiting for the emperor's summons, the ancient imperial examination system was very strict, after layers of selection, there were only a few dozen people who were eligible to participate in the palace examination in the end, so the emperor only had to draw up dozens of hundreds of questions to cope with these moves.

Everyone is waiting outside the palace gate, calling the name of the hall directly by the emperor to take the exam, the emperor is satisfied with the stay to learn to be a knight, generally left only ten, the top three are selected, respectively, the champion, the eye, the flower. The latter ones are all called Jinshi, and they are made local petty officials.

In the morning, Tie Zhu and the crowd lined up in turn to wait for the emperor's summons, while Yun Xi sat back in the carriage and waited, and heard a father-in-law start calling names, and whoever was called would go in. Yun Xi lifted the curtains on the carriage and saw that the lifters were in high spirits when they entered, and when they came out, they lowered their heads like frosted eggplants.

After a while, Tie Zhu was called in, and Tie Zhu never came out after entering, Yun Xi knew that although his brother was not as talented as Jia Chen, Jia Chen was the first among the children, and he was the second. followed by Li Jie, when Li Jie entered the hall, he also glanced at Yun Xi's carriage twice, Yun Xi knew that he was looking at himself, and hurriedly lowered the curtains.

Li Jie didn't come out after entering, Yun Xi thought that he should call Jia Chen's name, but his father-in-law called the name of several juzi in a row, and never called Jia Chen, Yun Xi knew that Haotian was deliberate, and he was not in a hurry, seeing that there were only two lifters left, and he hadn't called his name yet, Jia Chen couldn't hold his breath, and hurried a few steps to the father-in-law who signed up and asked, "This adult, why hasn't your name been called yet?" ”

"Wait for those who don't have their names." The father-in-law said angrily.

Jia Chen had no choice but to wait, seeing that only he was left, but the emperor just didn't call his name, Jia Chen ran to Yun Xi's carriage and asked, "Xiao Xi, did the emperor pull my name down?" Why haven't you called my name yet? Xiaoxi, why don't you go in and ask the emperor? ”

"Didn't he tell you to wait, you just wait, the emperor didn't announce his retirement from the dynasty, maybe the emperor is tired, and the rest meeting is not necessarily." Yun Xi said indifferently.

"But what if the emperor really pulled down my name?" Jia Chen said anxiously.

"Wait." Yun Xi said.

About an hour passed, and Jia Chen was anxious like an ant on a hot pot, and then he saw the father-in-law who signed up yawning and said, "Lift people Xu Jiachen into the hall." ”

Jia Chen trotted into the main hall, saw Haotian yawning, and hurriedly knelt down and saluted: "Long live the emperor Xu Jiachen." ”

"Get up! Are you Xu Jiachen? ”

"The villain is exactly."

"I heard that you are the number one talent in Kyoto?"

"The villain doesn't dare to be. I just read some poetry books. ”

"Okay, that is, if you are a talented man, I will order you to make a poem about the situation of today's people participating in the palace examination." Haotian said with a smile.
