Time is in a hurry, but a few days of effort, in the blink of an eye, it is the triennial spring.

Just like the imperial examination system in previous years, the Spring Festival still starts on the ninth day of February and lasts until February 17.

It lasted nine days, during which three tests were required,—— policy theory, scripture and righteousness, and current affairs.

Shizi, who came from all over the Great Wei to participate in the Spring Festival, stayed in a closed hut for nine consecutive days.

I have to say that this is not only a huge consideration for the physical condition of the readers, but also for their psychological elements.

On the day Chi Zhongli entered the Tribute Courtyard, Chi Linglong couldn't hold back in the end, and when she got up early in the morning, she pretended to be a little maid and pestered Qin Chengsi to accompany her to the Tribute Courtyard.

It wasn't until he saw that Chi Zhongli carried the nine-day rations, pen and ink and other things, and entered the tribute courtyard safely, that Chi Linglong returned to the Qin Palace.

Her current mood is indeed anxious and extraordinary, if you want to describe it accurately, it is probably similar to a child taking the college entrance examination.

However, if you calculate it carefully, what kind of energy is she not steady?

Chi Zhongli is almost thirty years old now, and he is quite old and stable in life.

Moreover, in the memory of "Chi Linglong", this third uncle will definitely be a high school member this time.

Since she even knew the results in advance, why was she so anxious?

Chi Linglong secretly scolded herself for a few words of "not competitive" and "undetermined", and then, after doing a few more ideological constructions for herself, she gradually forced herself to let go of this matter.

After all, no matter how anxious she is outside, she can't help the third uncle with anything.

In this way, it is better to live a good life in peace and stability.

Chi Linglong returned to her original idle and lazy appearance.

But her performance a few days ago was really too disturbed, so that Qin Chenghe, who was originally very concerned about the scientific expedition at this moment, is now even more concerned.

To be precise, I am more attentive to a certain candidate this year.

Qin Chenghei rested for a few days after the snow disaster, and was also sent by Emperor Hongyuan to sit in this scientific expedition.

Maybe it's because Qin Chenghe's ruthless and iron-blooded name is too easy to use, if Emperor Hongyuan has anything that needs someone to control the field, the first person who comes to mind will definitely be him.

The candidate who escorted the eighth princess and the pro-Nanzhao a few years ago, Emperor Hongyuan chose him; Strictly investigate the cause of the death of King Kangjun, and he is also in the palace of King Kangjun; For the snow disaster, Prince Qin needs to do it himself; Even in matters such as the imperial examination, in order to prevent someone from cheating, or other emergencies occurred, Emperor Hongyuan specially ordered him a "military general" to come to the town......

Chi Linglong did not explain to Qin Chenghei, and wanted to take care of his third uncle.

After all, if people knew that the third uncle had a relationship with Qin Chenghe, it would not be a good thing for either the third uncle or Qin Chenghe.

At best, this is called "forgetting the year"; But to put it badly, maybe there will be people in the court who will take advantage of this to secretly poke and poke and think, is it the Qin Wangfu and the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion, what is the unseemly relationship?

This matter is a taboo for the emperor, and if it is not handled well, it will arouse the emperor's jealousy, and no one can please anyone.

Nine days is not long, but it is not short, however, just as the Spring Festival has just ended, and the review work is still in close progress, and the itinerary of the pro-Nanzhao has also been put on the agenda by the courtiers.

The envoys of the Nanzhao Kingdom entered Beijing in November of the previous year, and until now, they have stayed in Beijing for three and a half months.

They have seen countless bustles in the capital, if they don't leave, I am afraid that the emperor of Nanzhao will have to worry about whether Da Wei wants to leave his favorite son in Da Wei as a proton.

So, when the eight princesses were ordered to make peace earlier, the Ministry of Rites prepared the princess's dowry, porcelain, curiosities, antiques, incense and other items brought to Nanzhao Kingdom, as well as the candidates for the dowry.

Now, as long as some of these people are replaced by the palace eunuchs in the Nine Princesses' Palace, and some additional dowry gold and silver, they can set off when the snow along the way has almost melted.

It was also when the important ministers in the court, because of the controversy over the candidates who sent the ninth princess to Nanzhao and the escort of Affinity, Chun Yu finally began to release the list.

On the morning of the release of the list, Chi Linglong was restless, and even used breakfast half-heartedly.

She frowned slightly, pursed her lips, and focused on thinking about things, for fear that her little wings would fan away the members who originally belonged to the third uncle.

Qin Chengsi glanced at her several times in succession, but Chi Linglong didn't notice it, and in the end, Qin Chengsi couldn't bear it anymore, so he directly sandwiched a small jade white jade dumpling and sent it to her lips.

"Think about it after eating."

Chi Linglong came back to her senses, "Ah", and before she could make any other moves, the jade white jade dumplings like small ingots had already been stuffed into her mouth by Qin Chenghe.

Chi Linglong puffed out her cheeks, stared at the serious Qin Chenghei with big eyes, and glared angrily.

Seeing that the man was indifferent, he sandwiched another piece of siu mai and waited for her, and Chi Linglong also died down.

He doesn't speak, only his mouth squirms, and he swallows the food in his mouth quickly.

"No, I've already eaten, I can't eat anymore." Chi Linglong covered her mouth and whimpered as she spoke, while also shaking her head, not accepting Lord Qin's feeding.

This whole winter, he didn't do anything, he ate and drank all day long and stayed in Zhiyuan Zhai, and there was little meat on his stomach.

If it goes on like this, when it's time to change her spring clothes, she should cry.

Chi Linglong didn't eat it, but Qin Chenghei has now become wilted and wilted.

He didn't force Chi Linglong to eat, but as if he hung her appetite, he said to her: "There is still an hour before the list of Chun Yu will be hung out." ”

After a pause, he said casually, "I already know your third uncle's ranking." ”

The subtext of this sentence is that if you want to know now whether your third uncle is doing well or not, you can honestly use up breakfast.

Chi Linglong was naturally not stupid, and with a slight turn in her mind, she figured out what Prince Qin was talking about.

It's just, Qin Chenghei, how can you be like this now?

Isn't it too much of a fuss to learn how to use a plan because of a feeding?

Regardless of whether it is a fuss or not, in the end, there is a carrot hanging in front of her, and Chi Linglong has to be honest and accept Qin Chenghe's "coercion".

finally ran out of food, and Chi Linglong also took Qin Chenghe's hand and looked at him with earnest eyes.

"You mean, I've used two more siu mai than usual, and you're not allowed to whet my appetite anymore."

Qin Chengsi lowered his eyes and glanced at Chi Linglong hanging on him.

Although she was very satisfied with such close contact between the two, but after thinking about it, she scolded him with such a flattering attitude, but because of her third uncle, she always felt that she was not very comfortable.

……

In Chi Fuzhong, the Jiang family has been thrilling since the New Year.

Earlier, because of the pickled incident made by Mu Changyao and the county lord of Pingyang, she was worried that Chi Linglong would be harshly reprimanded by the Queen Mother when she entered the palace.

After that, it was the Lantern Festival again, and Chi Linglong fell into a witchcraft and was in a coma for seven days without waking up; Later, Chi Linglong finally woke up, and the family affair with the Anguo Mansion was also lifted, and while she felt relieved, she also thought about taking advantage of her niece's good reputation now to quickly set up a suitable family affair for her.

But she didn't expect that after receiving dozens of posts, she didn't even start to select them carefully, and King Kangjun died violently.

The entire capital was almost under martial law because of the strict investigation of the murderer.

Later, it snowed heavily for several days in a row.

finally waited for the snow to stop, and she had time to toss her niece's relatives, but the time was close to spring.

Xianggong's affairs are naturally more important than her niece's family affairs, she has worked hard again, and she has been working hard every day to make up for Xianggong's body, and finally survived the preparation period for the spring season, the nine-day scientific examination period, and now, even when she returned home after the exam, Xianggong, who was thin and almost out of shape, was raised a lot by her, but Jiang's thin chin was pointed at this time.

Especially after knowing that the list was going to be released this morning, the Jiang family didn't even sleep all night yesterday, and Baba knelt in the small Buddha hall all night, only praying for the blessing of Wenqu Xing, and Xianggong could get a good ranking this time.

waited and waited, and finally it was dawn, and the Jiang family couldn't wait to send four or five small servants one after another to find out the news.

Now, finally waiting for the little guy who came home to report the news, Jiang sat up from his seat in a moment.

Before she could open her mouth to ask the little girl, she saw that her face was flushed with excitement and her eyes were shining, and she knelt on the ground with a "poof", and gave her the good news in a high-pitched voice: "Congratulations to Mrs., Mrs. Hexi, this time, this time the high school will be yuan!" ”

Huiyuan is the first place in Chunfu.

Jiang's mind was immediately stunned, and the whole person was going to be stupid.

After Qiu Rong shook her body and woke up, the Jiang family was at a loss for a while, and she didn't know what to do.

After completely waking up, his face was full of excitement, and he grabbed Qiu Rong's hand tightly.

"Rewards, rewards."

Jiang's smiling mouth couldn't close, "Reward, everyone will be rewarded for a month......

A series of rewards went down, and the girls and mothers-in-law inside and outside the house all happily saluted the Jiang family, "Mrs. Xie." ”

Jiang waved his hand, pacing back and forth in the house, and for a while he instructed Qiu Tong and Qiu Rong, "Hurry up and send someone to deliver a letter to Jiang Fushang", and then said, "Xianggong, hurry up and let him go out to entertain guests, I'm afraid that the guests will come to the door in a while......"

There is a huge Chi Mansion, because Chi Zhongli is a high school meeting this time, and the masters and servants are all happy to laugh crookedly.

Chi Mingxuan accompanied his two younger brothers to read in the study, and when he heard the news, he also kissed the two of them several times on the little faces.

While shouting, "Go, go, let's go to my mother to ask for a reward", he also pulled the two of them and ran to the front hall at a trot.

Chifu guests come and go, and there are gifts everywhere.

Not to mention the courtiers who have always had a good relationship with the Marquis of Zhongyong and the old mansion of Jiangge, each of them sent their henchmen over and gave heavy gifts.

Even some of the noble families who originally had a bad relationship with the Marquis of Zhongyong Mansion and the old mansion of Jiang Ge, as well as the members of the imperial court, saw that Chi Zhongli was so promising, and they couldn't help but hurry up and ask Mrs. to prepare a big gift and send it in person later.

Chifu received gifts with soft hands, and several large baskets of copper coins were scattered within half a day.

Finally, after being busy for a while, Jiang was able to take a break, but he saw Qiu Tong who came to her to talk to her.

"Madam, how do you think we should return this gift?" Qiu Tong held a fine rosewood box, and his face was slightly ...... Twist.

Jiang was so tired that he couldn't straighten his waist, and although his interest was still very high, his voice was hoarse.

Inevitably, he asked Qiu Tong a little lazily, "That house?" ”

“…… Qin Wangfu. ”

"Smack."

With this soft sound, the tea cup in Jiang's hand was not held steadily, and it was accidentally shattered to the ground.

Jiang thought he had misheard, and at this moment, Chi Zhongli had already walked into the flower hall.

When he came in, he happened to hear Qiu Tong's report.

I couldn't help but raise my eyebrows in surprise, "How can the Qin Palace's Mansion send me a congratulatory gift?" ”

Chi Zhongli's words were not untargeted, but it was really because the door of the Qin Wangfu was too high and too high to climb.

Whether his father-in-law had a good relationship with King Qin or not, he didn't know; However, he had never heard that the eldest brother Chi Zhongyuan had a particularly good relationship with King Qin.

The last time he drank wedding wine in the Anguo Mansion, it was the first time he saw King Qin.

Although the young man is still young, his majesty should not be underestimated, and he is not inferior to his eldest brother Chi Zhongyuan.

Tianhuang is noble, high and powerful, and his means and scheming are all good, such a King of Qin is really not something that anyone can stammer.

Although at that wedding banquet, Chi Zhongli also felt that outsiders were exaggerating about King Qin's "ruthlessness".

It's just that in the end, he has been in a high position since he was born, and King Qin's temperament is indeed a little indifferent and difficult to touch.

In this way, King Qin, who has always ignored princes and grandchildren, would raise himself like this because he won the Huiyuan?

Ji Zhongli frowned, walked up to Qiu Tong, and opened the rosewood box she was holding in her hand.

But I saw that in the box, on the brown velvet cloth, there was an inkstone.

Chi Zhongli carefully took out the inkstone.

Instinctively told him that the things that came out of the hands of the Qin Wangfu would definitely not be mundane.

Sure enough, when Chi Zhongli took the inkstone in his hand, and after looking at it for a while, he saw one of the marks, his hand was weak, and he almost smashed the inkstone in his hand to the ground.

It turned out that what Chi Zhongli was holding now was a thousand years ago, and he no longer knew what the manufacturing process was.

This kind of inkstone, ink storage is not consumed, ink accumulation is not rotten, winter is not freezing, summer is not dry, no moths, is the most popular among literati.

Not to mention the value of this inkstone itself, but only its current storage value, it is also priceless.

Readers, regardless of whether they have other preferences or not, are happy to see things such as ancient books, calligraphy and paintings, and the four treasures of the study.

Chi Zhongli prides himself on being the best among readers, and naturally he is no exception.

However, if someone else gave him such a heavy treasure, maybe he would grit his teeth and accept it seriously.

But, Qin Wangfu?

Ji Zhongli sighed, "It's a pity to ......" R1152
