When the newborn morning sun slowly rose, the warm light sprinkled on the body, swept away the faint chill of the late spring morning, in front of the dignified and solemn Baohe Palace, the three hundred and seventeen people on the list of this branch were honestly standing on both sides of the square in front of the palace. Lin Ruhai was among the three hundred and seventeen people, and his position was quite high. He quietly slipped around, and found that there were some familiar faces around him, and some of them could be called familiar. Yang Ze and Mu Lin were not far from him, and Qi Jiajue was not in the middle school, which he had expected a long time ago, and he was not very depressed, so he was really happy for a few friends.

After the examination on the same day, all those who passed the examination took a re-examination in the Baohe Temple, and only after passing the re-examination can they participate in today's palace examination. For today's palace exam, Lin Ruhai was specially trained by Old Man Yuan for half a month, and got up in the middle of the night, waiting at the gate of the palace with stars and dew, just waiting for the emperor to arrive, so that he could take the exam.

Lin Ruhai quietly moved his fingers and said secretly: Fortunately, the palace exam is only one day, if it is like a test, he will have to cry to death for several days in the exam. He estimated the time and felt that Emperor Qixiang should also arrive. Just thinking like this, he faintly heard the sound of whips, and after a while, a team of little eunuchs came first, "The saint has arrived, kneel to greet him!" A shrill voice rang out.

Lin Ruhai knelt down silently, and calmed the goosebumps on his body by the way, the voice of this eunuch was really unbearable.

Emperor Qixiang sat over with a smile on his face, and his peaceful gaze swept over the kneeling students on both sides. Hmm, there aren't many young people? And there are too few people who look like the best, they are all half-old men, which is really hurtful.

Emperor Qixiang advanced and sat down on the throne of the Baohe Palace. Then these would-be scholars were allowed to enter in order, and their own eunuchs guided them to their seats and sat down. Praise, salute, roll call. After the volume is finished, it continues. Emperor Qixiang made a speech, which was not too long, and there were still people with tears in their eyes. Next, it is to issue the policy, and then, everyone will write in a hurry!

I don't know if the topic of this year's palace exam was drafted by Emperor Qixiang himself, there are more than 1,000 words, and Lin Ruhai really heard the black line. Laying paper, grinding ink, everything is going on in an orderly manner. As the ink in the inkstone became thicker, the thoughts in his mind became clearer and clearer, and even Lin Ruhai felt that he was like a divine help now. He took the pen and started it, dipped it in ink, and wrote the first word steadily.

When answering the questions of the palace examination, it is necessary to use the pavilion style, and the characters should be square, light, black, and large. Lin Ruhai has worked hard in this regard, because his wife said that calligraphy is also famous. The experience of a calligrapher in history tells us. If you write a bad word, no matter how good your knowledge is, you will be ranked at the bottom of the ranking.

Time passed minute by minute, and Emperor Qixiang couldn't sit still. got up and got off the throne, wandered around the hall, and looked at the students' answers from time to time. Present. There are many of them who are facing you for the first time, and they are not excited. Then in order to leave a good impression on Emperor Qixiang, he had to try his best to suppress himself. Can't show it, and at the same time have to divide most of your mind on the exam questions, Emma, it's so hard.

Emperor Qixiang walked around for most of the circle, and suddenly stood behind a man, watching him write a sentence calmly, and couldn't help but applaud. The man was stunned for a moment, and saw the bright yellow clothes in the corner of his eye, and subconsciously got up to make a big salute, Emperor Qixiang stretched out his hand and knocked on the table, "No need to be polite." ”

"Yes." He replied in a low voice.

Emperor Qixiang rarely praised people, "Yes, very thoughtful." ”

The man was so excited that he forgot to breathe for a while, and he fainted himself alive, so that Emperor Qixiang was startled, and hurriedly asked someone to carry the person out, and then called the imperial doctor to heal. It was just a small episode, and after being treated by the doctor, the man came back to take the exam. Emperor Qixiang motioned for a little eunuch to go out and ask what the situation was. After a while, the little eunuch came back and whispered softly: "Imperial Doctor Sun said that this person is excited. ”

Emperor Qixiang was very satisfied, and deliberately wrote down the person's appearance.

The sun was setting in the west, and a group of new jinshi retreated from the palace and stepped out of the palace under the guidance of the eunuchs. As soon as they left the palace gate, the pressure on these people was lightened, and a smile appeared on their faces unconsciously. Yang Ze saw that Lin Ruhai was in front of his left, and took a few steps over, "Ruhai." ”

"Runzhi." Lin Ruhai looked at Yang Ze's relaxed expression, "It seems that you did well in the exam." ”

"Hehe's okay." Yang Ze smiled slightly, he felt that this time he played better than the test, "What about you?" ”

Lin Ruhai shrugged, "That's it." ”

"Why didn't you see Uncle Mu?" Yang Ze looked around for a moment and quipped: "I sat quite close to Uncle Mu, why did he disappear as soon as he appeared." ”

"I think I was taken home." Lin Ruhai also saw his car, he turned around and patted Yang Ze, "Runzhi, I'm one step ahead." ”

Yang Ze subconsciously wanted to follow him over there, and when he saw the Lin family's car, he stopped, Lin Ruhai's wife came, and he still didn't want to join in the fun.

Jia Min came by himself today, and Lin Rui was picked up by Cui's family, saying that he would let him stay for two days and then come back.

Lin Ruhai picked up the curtain and got into the car, and when he saw that there was only his wife in the car, he immediately smiled and smiled, "It's good, that stinky boy is not here." ”

Jia Min slapped him funny, "What a stinky boy, that's your son." ”

"Hmph." Lin Ruhai hugged his wife's soft body and didn't make a sound. Finally finished the exam, no matter how bad he is, he should be able to get a fellow jinshi, right? In other words, if he was born in the second class, wouldn't he still have to take the Ji Ji test? Emma, the wood is finished.

Lin Ruhai knows his level, he doesn't have to think about the first class, Lin Ruhai in the book can explore the flowers, he can forget it, he is very satisfied if he can get a second ranking.

Who knows, Lin Ruhai and Jia Min never expected that on the second day of the palace examination, an official from the Ministry of Etiquette came to the door and directly took Lin Ruhai, who had just eaten and planned to coax his wife to sleep again, and said that it was a saint to meet him.

Jia Min thought about it carefully, and he was overjoyed, on the second day of the palace examination, the emperor could definitely meet the top ten in this exam.

As soon as Lin Ruhai arrived at the Ministry of Rites, he was first given a lesson to see how the saint bowed and how to play it correctly. Looking at the people who studied with me, I don't know much about them, and then I am older, and I stand out from the crowd by myself to one of these ten people. Lin Ruhai has never felt how handsome his body is, especially when he compares with Yang Ze, he feels that he is quite ordinary. But now, he thinks he's still very handsome. Sure enough, there is no self-confidence without comparison.

When the top ten in the palace examination stood in front of Emperor Qixiang, Emperor Qixiang's eyes swept over these ten people, and an idea immediately popped up in his heart, can Lin Hai's ranking be mentioned again. Can Nima Sanding's nail swelling be an old man? Merry flowers, romantic flowers, you must have a good face, that's it. Originally, Lin Ruhai's ranking was the same as when he would try, he was seventh, and he didn't even get mixed with the fourth. But this side of the king, under the accompaniment of many people in the same year, was stunned by Emperor Qixiang from the seventh to the third. is also Lin Ruhai's father, who can be regarded as dying for the emperor, and his son often brushes the favorability of the big boss with Xiao Chen, coupled with the bonus points of his teacher Old Man Yuan, so that Emperor Qixiang is more and more pleasing to Lin Ruhai. After a brief chat with the champion and Bangyan, he asked very kindly: "Ruhai is only twenty-four this year, right?" ”

Lin Ruhai bowed and replied, "Yes." ”

"Alas, you are very competitive and have lived up to your father's expectations." Thinking of the old minister, Emperor Qixiang was a little emotional, and said very gently.

When Lin Ruhai heard Emperor Qixiang mention his father, his nose was sour, his eyes were astringent, and even his voice was a little hoarse: "The student is reckless and often makes his father angry, and now he ...... But he couldn't see it. ”

"Your father is loyal to the king and the country, and you are a good man, and as his son, you must not weaken your father's reputation in the future."

"Yes."

Generally speaking, the emperor recruits the top ten, and the order of conversation is their rank. The eunuchs and officials of the Ministry of Rites on one side were puzzled, but they didn't say anything. When the new branch jinshi went out, someone immediately stepped forward, "Saint ......"

Emperor Qixiang didn't wait for him to finish, then waved his hand, "Lin Hai is the son of a family, and he has a talent, full of wealth, is he worthy of the name of Tanhua?" ”

Well, you are the emperor, and whatever you say is what you say.

Lin Ruhai never dreamed that he would actually fall for Tanhua! Emma, Tanhua, third place, this is really unscientific!

Jia Min got the letter, she was really overjoyed, a group of girls came up to say goodbye, she smiled and said: "I will reward you with three months' monthly money, and the people in the house will give you two months' regular money this month." ”

"Mrs. Xie."

Jia Min Moju went to the kitchen and said that she would cook more of Lin Ruhai's favorite dishes today, and she would celebrate her husband in the evening.

Mama Yu smiled and said, "Madam, this is a great event, I have to send a letter to the old lady quickly." ”

Jia Min patted his head, "I was so happy and confused that I actually forgot about it." She smiled at Mama Yu and said, "How about a trip to work hard for my mother?" ”

Mama Yu smiled: "What's so hard about this. Saying that, he saluted Jia Minfu and withdrew with a smile on his face. How much the old lady feels sorry for Jia Min, a young girl, she knows it too well. Now that the old man has been hit by Tanhua, the old lady has to be happy. When she went to report the good news, the old lady would definitely ask her to inquire carefully, and if she was happy, she might be able to give her a seat, which would be both decent and rich.

Sure enough, as Mama Yu expected, Jia's mother was really overjoyed when she heard that her son-in-law had Tanhua, and she asked someone to open the warehouse, and she muttered a lot of good things like beans in her mouth, and ordered someone to send them to Jia Min. He pulled Mama Yu and asked carefully, until noon, and gave Mama Yu a lunch before she could put the person back. (To be continued......)
