The temple examination was held three days later. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The emperor did not attend this year's palace examination, the prince attended, he seemed to be very interested in this year's students, sat in the hall all day, personally looked at many papers, which invisibly brought a lot of psychological pressure to the candidates.

Although the palace examination is only one day, far less arduous than the three days of confinement in the Gongyuan, the huge psychological pressure is dozens or hundreds of times more than that of the examination, and abnormal performance seems to have become a common thing in the palace examination.

The three hundred test papers cannot all be reviewed by the emperor, but by the ten highly respected ministers of the court to form a marking group for screening, first by the marking team after the marking of the papers, the top ten of the palace examination in no particular order, and then the ten answer sheets are presented to the emperor, who will be ranked after reading them, and hand-picked the champions, list eyes and tanhua of this year's palace examination.

The temple test is a policy test, with a total of three questions, each limited to 1,000 words.

Probably because the questions are not difficult, there are many confident students who submit the papers in advance. Although the hall is wide, waves of people who hand in the papers are dangling in front of them, going in and out, which will inevitably affect the mood of the rest of the people, and some people begin to be secretly anxious, and can't help but follow the trend to hand in the papers in advance.

After the unitary, only a small half of the people in the hall were still thinking hard and did not hand in the papers.

The time for the palace examination was limited to before sunset, and before the hour came, Liang Yi was sitting at the front, reading the papers, and he was not in a hurry.

At this time, Ning Le was a little anxious, he finished writing, but he didn't know whether to hand in the paper or not, after all, in his heart, he was very bottomless about his knowledge, and he wrote so smoothly that he doubted that he had made a mistake.

He quietly glanced straight ahead, and then glanced at Su Yan and the clerk who were sitting not far in front of him, the two people were calm and calm, seeing that there were only three of them left in the hall, and those two people could still write the paper quietly without hurry, without being anxious or impatient. Even if the paperwork is over, it has always been a chronic child, but even Su Yan, who has never had much character, is actually like this, Ning Le really feels strange.

When the sun was about to set, there were really only the three of them left in the hall, Ning Le finally couldn't sit still, and didn't dare to wait for Su Yan and the paperwork any longer, Huo Di stood up, walked to the front with the scroll, and handed it to the examiner.

When he came back, he passed by Su Yan's side, and subconsciously glanced at the paper in front of Su Yan, but found that the ink on his test paper had already dried. Su Yan looked at the test paper with straight eyes, and said that he was in a daze, but he had already finished writing, and he probably didn't know how many times he had checked it, but he didn't hand in the paper, so he just sat there.

Ning Le shook his head incomprehensibly, Su Yan has been getting weirder and weirder recently.

When the sun set, the palace test ended, and the clerk and Su Yan both got up from their seats, walked forward, handed the test paper in their hands to the marker, bowed, and knelt to Liang Yi not far away, and withdrew.

Liang Yi raised his head from the test paper and glanced at the two of them, until the two people left the hall, he looked at the marker on the side and asked:

"The student just now is called 'Su Yan', right?"

The marker was stunned for a moment, looked down at the name in the upper corner of the test paper, got up and replied:

"Back to Your Highness, among the two students just now, there is indeed one named 'Su Yan'."

"I'll take his article for me."

"Yes." Although the examiner was puzzled, he still found out Su Yan's roll and respectfully presented it to Liang Yi.

……

Three days later, when it was finally time for Liang Shuo to read the papers in person, Liang Yi sent the top ten test papers of the palace examination listed to Wuji Palace and presented them to Liang Shuo.

"You've seen it all?" Liang Shuo asked him with a smile.

"Erchen has seen it." Liang Yi replied with a smile.

"Is there anything you like?"

Liang Yi thought for a while and replied: "Cheng Qi from Pingning Bo Mansion, Zhao Yi from Guang'an Hou Mansion, both of which are good, and Zheng Ren from Hongcheng, the article is quite the legacy of Mr. Lu, and these are all more optimistic about the ministers." But if you care, you can add two, although they are still a little naïve and childish, but at their age, it is very rare to have such an insight, and over time, it will become a great tool. ”

"Oh? It's rare to have characters that you are so interested in, which are they? Liang Shuo smiled and asked.

"One is the clerk of Qin'an Fengzhou, and the other is ...... Su Yan. Speaking of Su Yan, Liang Yi's tone was more careful, when Ah Xi fell out with the whole family because of this "Su Yan", he was worried that his father would feel unhappy when he heard Su Yan's name.

Liang Shuo was stunned for a moment, not unhappy, but surprised.

Speaking of the Su family, everyone is familiar with the three girls of the Su family, and the fourth child of the Su family only knows that it is a kid, and the others are completely unknown, because the child is too non-existent compared to his three sisters. In the end, I finally learned about the four boys of the Su family, but it was because of the boiling scandal between Su Yan and Liang Xi.

Liang Shuo was silent, he took the lead in turning over the test papers of Su Yan and the paperwork, read them in turn, and then raised his eyebrows, and after a while, he said:

At first glance, this document is a little sophisticated and only knows how to read, and there is knowledge, but the rhetoric is a little stubborn and rigid, and it is suspected of talking on paper, so as not to be pedantic, but it still needs to be honed for a few years in a chaotic environment. As for Su Yan, he turned out to be a child with unique ideas and strange opinions, I heard the fifth child mention him before, saying that although this child is cowardly and timid, he is very smart, can read, and has strange thoughts, I didn't listen to it when I heard 'cowardly', and I didn't remember that this child's style of writing reveals gentleness and integrity everywhere, not tough, not stubborn, but has his own set of persistence, no wonder Ah Xi likes him. ”

He sighed deeply, paused, knocked on the scroll, and said to Liang Yi:

"Let him go down to the place, see more people, feel more treacherous and simple people's customs, and then look at it."

"Yes." Liang Yi responded with a smile.

Then the two men fell silent.

Liang Shuo stared at the scroll on the dragon case.

Liang Yi looked at the blue bricks on the ground.

The two of them thought of Liang Xi together, so the coldness and suffocation spread in the huge palace.

After a long time, Liang Shuo suddenly raised his head and asked:

"Ah Yi, are you ready to rule the Yue Liang Kingdom alone?"

Liang Yi was taken aback, looked at Liang Shuo, and saw that his expression was not like a temptation but was asking him seriously, his face changed slightly, he knelt down, and said:

"Father's ......"

"I have been in power for decades, I have done everything that should be done, everything that can be done has been done, and what I can't do and can't do is not counted. No one can sit on the dragon chair for eternity, and the last and most important thing for a king to do is to hand over the throne to the new emperor safely and without turmoil. The turmoil in the royal family is not only shaking its own foundation, but also the hearts of the people. Liang Shuo interrupted him, looked at the golden crown on the top of his hair, and asked lightly, "Ah Yi, are you ready to rule a country alone?" ”

Liang Yi was silent for a moment, then spoke, and replied in a solemn voice:

"Father, rest assured, the sons will live up to their father's expectations, and dedicate themselves to the Yueliang country, which will make the Yueliang country rich and strong, prosperous and prosperous!"

Liang Shuo looked at him for a moment and smiled.

……

The final results of the palace examination are in.

With the results of Ning Le, Su Yan and Wenwen, the top five definitely have nothing to do with the three of them, so whether it is the champion of the first class, the top eye, Tanhua or the first place in the second class, these beautiful names have nothing to do with the three of them.

However, there are still other good news, first of all, the clerk was selected, and he was elected to the Hanlin Academy to observe the government as a Shujishi. Although the Shujishi is not an official position, just a bystander, but the Hanlin has always been a place to reserve officials, non-Jinshi do not enter the Hanlin, non-Hanlin does not enter the cabinet, and the Shujishi of the Hanlin Academy is the easiest to rise to the top.

If the paperwork is not clear, Yiming stayed in the imperial capital, lived in the collective dormitory provided by the Hanlin Academy, and had subsidies for meals, although he was still not rich, but he saw the dawn of victory.

The Su family was also very happy for him.

The document was selected first, which made Ning Le depressed for a long time, but he quickly became happy, not far from his hometown, Qingxia County, which is only half a month's drive away, has a vacancy in a county, and he was filled.

Ning Le was overjoyed, it turned out that the little overlord who couldn't even read words was finally going to become an official, although it was just a small county prince, but this was the first step for him to glorify his ancestors, and he was very satisfied. The most satisfying thing is that Qingxia County is close to home, and after he settles down, he can take his father with him without worrying about the long distance.

The most coincidental thing is Su Yan, in June of the next year, the county order of Changle County, Qin'an Province will expire and be promoted, and the vacancy of the county order will be vacant, and Su Yan will be filled.

Changle County is the place where Su Miao made his fortune, and it is also the most memorable place for the Su family.

Mrs. Su and Hu Shi were ecstatic, and as soon as they got the news, they discussed it, wanting to move back to Changle Town from Fengzhou to take care of Su Yan.

Su Miao was opposed to this decision, she looked at Su Yan's face, and said to her grandmother and mother with a smile:

"He's going to take office, not to play, Changle Town is not far from Fengzhou, let him go by himself, his mother and grandmother stay at home, I want to go to see him to see him, but I can't stay there with him, you follow him, he always takes care of you, and he can't work hard."

"It's not that he hasn't been weaned yet, you let him go to hone and hone alone, don't make trouble for him." Su Xian agreed with Su Miao's opinion, and was very unaccustomed to the eccentricity of Hu and Mrs. Su, and said angrily.

"Yan'er has grown up, he's a man, and he needs to be alone." Su Chan clasped her arms with both hands and said expressionlessly.

Hu Shi and Mrs. Su were annoyed by the attitude of the three of them, Hu Shi glared at the daughters, and said angrily:

"You three are really cold when you are sisters, Yan'er is your younger brother, he has never left the house since he was a child, and suddenly went out to live alone, how can you rest assured? He's cold and hungry, and who's going to take care of him? What if you meet a cunning trick on him? And who cares about him when he is sick or injured, I don't worry if he is not by my side, you don't go to me, I will take care of him! ”

Su Xian rolled her eyes, and was equally angry at Hu's practice of treating Su Yan as a milk doll, and just wanted to scream at the top of her voice, Su Yan spoke first, and he said with a smile:

"Mother, I'll go by myself, Changle Town is not far from Fengzhou, it's convenient for me to go home, it's convenient for you to come and see me, you don't have to follow me." The county government is not more comfortable than at home, you still live at home with your grandmother, by the way, help the second sister take care of some business, and the second sister has a little doll after getting married, you and grandma have to help her take a look. ”

"But ......"

"Mother, I can take care of myself, I can do laundry and cooking, even embroidery and sewing are my specialty, mother, you don't have to worry." Su Yan interrupted her with a smile and said.

Hu Shi moved her lips, but she didn't insist, she felt it, Su Yan didn't want her to follow, she was a little sad, but seeing his resolute look, she suddenly realized that maybe he had really grown up, and she really should let go.

When he returns to his hometown, let's find a good girl for him, Hu thought to himself.

……

After the results of the palace examination came out, the teacher appreciation banquets in various parts of Liangdu were in full swing, and the students on the middle list and the important members of the court were once again closely linked together through the teacher appreciation banquet, forming a new and intricate network of relationships.

Among these thank-you banquets, the thank-you banquet in the Hubu Shangshu Mansion is one of the most beautiful, not only the courtiers who participated were high-ranking and powerful, including the students who participated in the banquet were the top 100 in the palace examination. These hundred people, the future is basically decided, and in the near future, they will become a new force in the court of Yue Liang Kingdom.

Seeing these high-spirited students come over one by one to toast themselves, and accompany themselves to talk about the world, Lin Shangshu, who was sitting in the first seat, was very satisfied, and his mood came up with the wine, and he was in a happy mood.

A few more students came over to toast, among them was the document he was very fond of, Lin Shangshu narrowed his eyes and smiled with a wrinkle on his face.

Lin Shangshu likes the clerk very much, and feels that his upright temperament is very similar to when he was young, stubborn, as long as he believes that he will not let go. Maybe this kind of temperament is not the emperor's temper, but it is definitely the temper of His Royal Highness the Prince, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince likes honest and loyal officials. Although the clerical kid still lacks training, judging from Lin Shangshu's proud eyes, this kid is a good seedling, as long as there is a steady person on the side to train him, he will become a great tool in the future.

What's more, others don't know that he knows that when the museum was chosen, the clerk was the first to be selected as a guri.

Lin Shangshu received the toast from the clerk, and with a little wine, he asked him with a smile:

"Clerk, you're not too young, look at your kid who is talented, do you have a wife in your hometown?"

The intention of this question could not be more obvious, as long as the answer is no, you can marry a noble wife and soar.

The surrounding students were all silent, staring straight at the papers, and many of them showed envy in their eyes.

The clerk paused for a moment, then smiled and replied sincerely and politely:

"Back to my lord, my wife doesn't have a room, but my fiancée does."

After a short silence, the scene boiled all of a sudden, people talked about it, and some even laughed in their hearts, whether this document is stupid or not, even if you have a wife, you should say no, let alone just drink your fiancée.

Lin Shangshu didn't expect to get this kind of answer, his expression froze, he didn't know what to say for a while, and said with a sneer: "Fiancée? In my hometown? ”

"No, in Liangdu, she came from Fengzhou with her students." The clerk replied with a smile.

The answer was so detailed, Lin Shangshu couldn't continue to ask, so he had to say a few gossips to cover up the embarrassment just now.

However, the rumors spread at the speed of the wind.

The news that Lin Shangshu wanted to recruit the clerk as a son-in-law and the clerk had a fiancée came out at the same time, because the clerk was still related to the Su family, which had become popular all over Liangdu, so this matter spread quickly, and soon reached the ears of Chunniang.

It's not that she is amorous, but there are only a few girls who came to Liangdu from Fengzhou with the clerk, and the others are impossible, and she is the only one left in the elimination law.

Chun Niang's face was like fire, she hesitated for an afternoon, and finally decided to make an appointment with the paperwork, she was a girl who had to figure it out by herself if no one answered her questions, she didn't know how to pretend to be stupid.

The two of them met on a small bridge.

Su Chan once again acted as a free driver, and she was very angry.

Chun Niang and Wen met for a long time, she lowered her head, wrung her hands, and asked straight to the point:

"You, you have a fiancée......"

He was halfway through his question, when he heard the clerk say:

"Chunniang, can you wait for me for a year, when I can save some money to buy a house, I will go to your father to propose marriage."

Chun Niang: "......"

This was the most unemotional and low-level marriage proposal she had ever heard, and of course, she didn't expect him to be emotional.

She blushed, bit her lip, was silent for a while, and whispered in a tone that could not hide her joy:

"Why, why didn't you tell me first, and you still want me to ask you?"

The clerk didn't answer, Chunniang quietly glanced up at him, and saw that he was looking away, and his ears were red.

Because I was embarrassed to tell her first, I thought of a way to ask her to come and ask herself.

Chunniang became more and more embarrassed, bit her lip and was silent for a while, and then asked:

"Why did you call me 'Miss Guo' again?"

She's still "grudging" against this.

The clerk was stunned for a moment, and after thinking about it for a long time, he understood her question, and frowned: "As soon as I call you 'pure mother', someone will bully you and say bad things about you, and besides, those bastards always make fun of you, I haven't made it to the list, and I'm afraid that their reputation will be bad if they joke for a long time, so I want to change your name first." ”

Chunniang flattened her mouth, no wonder he didn't let him go to Ruwen Academy later, she thought he disliked her.

"Did you agree?" Seeing that she hadn't answered him, Wen Wen was a little anxious, and couldn't help but ask.

Chunniang was stunned for a moment before she realized what he was asking, smiled and nodded:

"Okay."

After a pause, she asked with a smile: "Why did you choose me, isn't there a young lady who has taken a fancy to you?" ”

The clerk frowned, and said seriously:

"No, don't think about it, you ruined the name of other girls."

Chunniang pouted: "So, why did you choose me?" ”

The clerk didn't seem to have thought about this question, and when he heard her ask, he frowned and thought for a long time before answering:

"You are diligent and kind, the house is the most tidy, the clothes are clean, and the needlework is the most beautiful......"

The corners of Chun Niang's eyebrows twitched fiercely, a little annoyed:

"Why don't you say that my cooking is the best?"

"No, the food you cook is hard to eat." The clerk earnestly refuted.

Chun Niang: "......"

Just ask him to die!
