The canonization assembly begins.

This time, in addition to the ministers, there are also the ministers' family members. There are also the three people who took the literary test, Shen Feng, the champion Lang, the Tanhua Jun Xunting, and Mu Bai, but now it should be said that it is Mu Chen. The top six in the martial arts test, the first Shen Qing, the second Bai Li, the third Wang Yuming, the fourth Feng Nanjian, the fifth Lin Junwu, and the sixth Xie Daoyun.

Shen Nian looked at Xie Daoyun sitting at the Xie family's table, this Xie Daoyun didn't know what his character was, Xie Daolan was spoiled, he had no brains to do things, as if he gave all his brains to Xie Daoyou, Xie Daoyou was once the first talented woman in the capital, and now it is Shen Nian's name. Xie Dao Youcheng Mansion was deep, but he didn't offend Shen Nian, so the two had nothing to do with each other. Xie Daolan has been very honest recently because of Shangguan's arrogance.

As for Heezhao, it's been honest lately. Shen Nian is very satisfied with this, it's good, less dangling in front of him, annoying.

Wang Yuming, I remember that there was a girl in the Wang family who liked the eldest brother, but the eldest brother didn't like each other, so there was no intersection. This Wang Yuming is like a different person, and suddenly his talent and martial arts stand out from the many children of the Wang family.

Wang Yuming looked at Shen Nian from a distance, Shen Nian looked over, Wang Yuming smiled at Shen Nian, thinking that he was romantic. Shen Nian ignored it, and didn't see anything he did.

Nan Jin sat next to Chaoyang, and the second room of the Feng family was completely suppressed. And Feng Nansheng went to Jiangnan and took his mother with him. Now it seems that the road to the South Mark should be smooth.

Now the first place in the literary and martial arts test is the son of the Shen family, and now the Shen family is in full swing. There were many officials who Shen Nian saw talking to his father just now, but many of Shen Xing ignored them.

The Xie family was very good a few years ago, and it was originally on a par with Shen Nian, but since Shen Nian came back, all aspects of the Shen family plus Gao Lingyan's attack on the Xie family have made the Xie family and the Wang family almost the same. The Wang family can be said to be the weakest of the four families, because there are very few elites in the Wang family in recent years, and most of the daughters are born. The only good daughter is Concubine Xi, who is the sister of the current head of the Wang family. Therefore, the relationship between the Wang family and the four princes should have been very good, but unfortunately Shangguan Hansu did not want to seize the throne, which led to the two sides almost breaking up a few years ago.

Shen Nian looked at the official ladies around him, and many of them were secretly looking at the people who excelled in this literary and martial arts test.

Gao Yao watched everyone sit down, and said appropriately: "Now the winner of the literary and martial arts test will come forward to listen to the seal."

Several people stepped forward and stood still.

Shangguan Zhifei was in a good mood, looking at the few young people below who were outstanding in literature and martial arts, it was very good to be reminiscent of the hope for the future of the Eastern Dynasty in any aspect.

"The first place in the literary examination is Shen Feng, the second child of the Shen family." Shangguan Zhifei asked.

Shen Feng stood up and saluted, "See the emperor." ”

"Your article is very much appreciated by Boss Li. I named you the Shaoqing of Dali Temple. ”

"Your Majesty." This can be regarded as Shen Feng's first step into officialdom.

"The eye of the list is Jun Xunting?"

"See the Emperor." Jun Xunting stepped forward.

Shangguan Zhifei smiled, but he knew that Jun Xunting's father was Jun Langqiao, a great general, and it was interesting to raise such a literati son.

"I have named you the Young Secretary of the Ministry of Rites."

"Your Majesty."

"Mu Bai?"

Mu Chen stood up, "See the emperor." ”

"What do you want?" This article written by Mu Bai and Jun Xunting's article, who was the leader at the beginning, and the examiners were arguing.

"The minister doesn't want to be an official, he really wants to travel all over the mountains and rivers." Mu Chen clenched his fists and said.

Indeed, it is indeed difficult for a Jianghu person to be an official.

Shangguan Zhifei nodded, "Okay." I will reward you with ten thousand taels of silver. ”

"Your Majesty."

"The first place in the martial arts test is Shen Qing?"

At this time, everyone was cheered.

"See the Emperor."

"What do you want to do? General?"

"Now there are fathers and brothers in the court, which is enough to contribute to the court of the Eastern Dynasty. The minister just wants to guard the Shen family well. Shen Qing said neither humbly nor arrogantly.

"Good. Then I will reward you with ten thousand taels of silver. A thousand pieces of silk. ”

"Your Majesty."

Many people present breathed a sigh of relief. If Shen Qing is also an official, then the status of the Shen family is really unshakable.

"The second is Bai Li?"

"Long live the emperor, long live, long live."

Shangguan Zhifei looked at the man at the bottom of the steps with interest, and heard that this child had become Niannian's apprentice. This kid's eyes are pure, not bad, and it's not bad to follow Niannian.

"Do you have anything you want to do?" Shangguan Zhifei asked.

"I came to the capital this time to find the master, and now the master has found it. I don't want to be an official. Bai Li didn't understand the words of officialdom, so he simply said it casually.

Shangguan Zhifei didn't care either.

"Then I will reward you with ten thousand taels of silver. A thousand pieces of silk. Now that you have found the master, you must honor the master. This is the virtue of the Eastern Dynasty. Shangguan Zhifei glanced at Shen Nian without a trace, and saw Shen Nian smiling there. Shangguan Zhifei also felt a lot better.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Bai Li was very happy to hear this, with so much money, he could buy a big house for his mother in the capital, and then give the master delicious food and buy new clothes for Mei Ochre. Bai Li was very happy now, but his face was very indifferent. The master said that no matter what happens, there can be no extra expressions.

Neither of the first two martial arts candidates asked for official positions. Everyone looked at the third place, Wang Yuming.

Wang Yuming must have an official position, which is the first step for the Wang family.

Wang Yuming was finally given an official position in the army. Lin Junwu and Feng Nanjin are too, after all, generals still need to be trained. It depends on the future creation of these three people. But it's not bad to think about.

After the canonization is completed, it is natural to start the banquet.

This banquet is also for those officials to find the new newcomers who look at them right, and whether they need to marry to promote. Many young ladies were also impressed by the demeanor of these people.

Shen Qing and Shen Feng still sat with Shen Nian.

Shen Nian looked at Shen Qing and said that the eldest brother said before that he would start to be busy in the future. It turned out that the eldest brother had already decided to inherit the Shen family, in fact, this was also an inevitable result, but the eldest brother obviously had his own dreams. Forget it, it can always be done.

Shen Nian looked at Shen Qing, Shen Feng, and Bai Li who came back, and smiled, "Congratulations." Shen Nian said to them.

Shen Qing rubbed Shen Nian's head and put away the loneliness in his eyes. In fact, Shen Qing also wants to be a general, but the Shen family always has to be inherited. Let the second brother go, as for Nian'er, she also needs a strong Shen family as a backing.

Bai left his heart and said to Shen Nian: "Master, I have money now, I can take you to eat delicious food."

Shen Nian's eyes lit up after hearing this, this apprentice took it right.

Then came the performances.

Shen Nian lacked interest in acting.

I've been eating all kinds of food. Shangguan Zhifei saw that he signaled to Gao Yao, and Gao Yao understood, so he kept changing dishes on Shen Nian's table frequently, and everyone thought that the emperor was so kind to Shen Qing and Shen Feng, and he was even more afraid of the Shen family.

Shen Nian curled his mouth without a trace, and knew that being an official was thinking a lot and like to think more.

"Master." Bai Li quietly came over.

"Huh? What's wrong?" Shen Nian didn't stop the chopsticks in his hand and continued to eat, but his attention was drawn a little bit from "eating" to Bai Li.

"What are we going to do next?" Bai Li asked cautiously, his eyes blinking.

Shen Nian bit his chopsticks and thought about it. Then he replied: "These days should be the day of the second brother's succession, they must be very busy, although the eldest brother has already started to take care of the house, but this time he has officially become the head of the Shen family, so there is also a celebration." I'm done with it for a while. Shen Nian looked at Bai Li when he said this, and smiled slightly, "Naturally, it's a tour of the mountains and rivers." ”

Bai Li's eyes lit up suddenly, and he hurriedly said, "Then the master will go to my house." I want my mother to see what kind of master I have found. ”

Shen Nian nodded, "No problem." ”

Gao Lingyan sat not far away, holding a wine glass and looking at Shen Nian and the others quietly, his hands slowly tightened, his eyes were quite resentful, what are you doing so close, what are you doing.

In the evening, when the banquet ended, Shen Nian did not go to Shangguan Zhifei privately this time, and went back directly with Shen Qing and the others.

on the carriage

"Big brother." Shen Nian dragged his chin and looked at Shen Qing.

"How?" Shen Qing sat there, bent down slightly, and poured a cup of tea for Shen Nian. Because the teacups and teapots in this carriage are made of magnets, and the drivers outside are also nimble, they will not spill water.

"You really don't want to be an official, do you? Didn't you always want to be a general?" Shen Nian took the tea and looked at Shen Qing with big eyes without blinking.

Shen Feng sat aside, his hand holding the fan unconsciously tightened, which was also what he had always wanted to ask. The Shen family is too strong to be able to have both sons to be officials, so it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no accidents in the lives of many people. And the civil administration is a better choice than the military attaché.

But he was afraid that Shen Qing would give up his dream for himself, and he would be really uncomfortable.

Shen Qing poured Shen Feng a cup of tea, brought it to Shen Feng, poured another cup for himself, shook his head and smiled.

"Fool. Why is it my dream to only be an official and a general, this is too stupid. Shen Qingqing took a sip of tea and said.

"But." Shen Feng just wanted to say something, but Shen Qing directly interrupted him.

"It's the best option, isn't it? Besides, now that the world is peaceful and prosperous, why should I be a general, and if I really want to be, how can I not be a general. Shen Qing rolled his eyes at Shen Feng, "You said that you usually look like a fox, why can't you understand this." ”

Shen Nian also laughed beside him.

Yes, Shen Qing really wants to be a general, that is also to go into battle to kill the enemy, not to mention that there is no enemy in the peaceful and prosperous world now, even if there is, with the Shen family, nothing else is added, what is it to let Shen Qing be a general.

Shen Feng also smiled, and the depression in his heart opened, indeed he was thinking too much.

Shen Nian hugged Shen Qing's arm and snorted at Shen Feng, "Stupid second brother, it's better to be the eldest brother, when this time is over, we will go out to play, enjoy the mountains and rivers, and leave you alone in the capital to watch you play by yourself." ”

Shen Feng's eyes widened after hearing this, "What? Are you going out? When? How did I not know?"

Shen Nian snorted, "I decided today." Anyway, it's not interesting in this capital, so it's better to go out and play. Everybody goes out to play. How interesting. ”

Shen Feng wanted to cry without tears, he also wanted to go, the joy of being a civil servant was first worn out by the worried eldest brother, and now because he can't go out with the little sister, the rest has been worn out.

Shen Feng held his cheek with one hand and sighed for a long time, thinking about whether he would resign now or not.
