Shen Shixing left Guozijian satisfied.

The inmates sighed one after another, they were raised by their stepmothers, and no one loved them. I finally looked forward to an old man, thinking that his old man was coming to teach, but who knew that they were just recruiting for the "old men" of the Hanlin Academy.

Ning Xiu was even more puzzled and said to Liu Weining: "Brother Liu, what do you mean by this." ”

Liu Weining squinted his eyes slightly, his lips pursed and said, "Brother Ning Xian, don't think that the secretary of this Hanlin Academy is cheap, if you can enter the Hanlin Academy, it will be of great help to Dabi." ”

Ning Xiu vaguely understood something, and asked, "Brother Liu means to use the collection of books in the Hanlin Academy to understand the scriptures?" ”

Liu Weining shook his head.

"The editors of the Hanlin Academy are all from the heavenly list."

Ning Xiu couldn't help but feel a sigh of relief.

The so-called Tianbang refers to the top three in the imperial examination, that is, the champion, the list eye, and the flower in the usual sense.

The champions, Bangyan, and Tanhua will be immediately awarded officials and serve in the Hanlin Academy. Among them, the champion is awarded for revision, and Bangyan and Tanhua are awarded for editing.

Didn't Liu Weining mean that he wanted to ask these people for articles?

If it were an ordinary bookstore, these Hanlin gentlemen would naturally not look at it squarely. But Liu Weining's identity is not ordinary, he is from a dignified background!

"Brother Liu Gao saw that these Hanlin officials had just joined the office, and the article did not seem to be twilight. It is naturally appropriate to use it as a reference. ”

Liu Weining bowed slightly: "Besides, the old man of the Pavilion said that this book office is only a temporary dispatch, and it can be ended before the big competition, and it will not affect the test." I just copied some paperwork, which was very easy, and the rest of the time I could naturally write and compose. It is also a blessing to be able to study and prepare for exams in a place like Hanlin Academy. ”

Ning Xiu thought about it carefully, and it was indeed such a truth.

Wen Shu is also Wen Shu in Huguang Guild Hall, and Wen Shu is also Wen Shu in Hanlin Academy. So why not choose the more literate Hanlin Academy?

Besides, these bigwigs in the Hanlin Academy are also connected.

Make friends with them, and you can leave a good relationship, which may be useful in the future.

After all, Liu Weining didn't have Ning Xiu's resources, so it was impossible for him to talk and laugh with the third son of the Zhang family.

"Brother Liu has a good eye."

Ning Xiu arched his hand.

"Haha, Brother Ning Xian, don't say it. Foolish brother, this is also a last resort. Foolish brother envy you. ”

The two looked at each other and smiled, left Minglun Hall together, and left the Guozijian.

......

The following month passed quickly, and Ning Xiu spent the whole day in Zhang Juzheng's Beijing residence and Zhang Maoxiu reviewing Confucian classics and answering each other's questions.

This method is obviously more efficient than reading a book with a dull head, and Ning Xiu feels that his understanding of certain scriptures has been raised to a higher level.

Seeing that it was the end of the year, Ning Xiu and Zhang Maoxiu rarely relaxed and prepared for the New Year.

Although Ning Xiu is in a foreign land, there is still the old Taishan family in the future to eat, so he will not bother Zhang Sangongzi much.

It's just that Qi Ling'er has plenty of time to pester Ning Xiu, so that Ning Xiu is not embarrassed.

The love between men and women cannot be measured by worldly reason, and Ning Xiu had no choice but to try his best to meet his fiancée's wishes and spend more time with her.

On the night of Chinese New Year's Eve, the Qi Mansion was lit up and down, and it was indeed very lively.

Ning Xiu, the "quasi-son-in-law", is naturally the guest of the Qi family, and he doesn't need to help at all, he just needs to sit there and enjoy the joy.

Qi Jiguang and Wang Yuejiao sat on the top and watched their children busy, with smiles on their faces.

It's no different from ordinary people's parents!

Qi Baoguo instructed his servants to prepare firecrackers and ordered them to hang lanterns.

When he saw his little sister wearing a mask and approached, he quipped: "What's the matter, sister, don't you accompany your sweetheart, why are you here to make a scene." ”

Qi Ling'er's voice changed slightly: "The room is very stuffy, come out to breathe." ”

After that, he took off his mask and said with a smile: "How about this mask, well, let's talk about it after thinking about it!" ”

Qi Baoguo rubbed his palms and said with a smile: "It's too ugly." ”

Qi Ling'er rolled her eyes, and immediately smashed her fist.

"I know how to bully people, I did it with my own hands!"

"Oh, little sister, don't fight anymore, my bones are going to be smashed."

Qi Baoguo laughed.

Qi Ling'er felt bored after beating for a while, so she simply sat on the stone steps in front of the house, looking at the moon on the lacquered canopy in a daze.

"Somehow, I always feel that this year is very different from the past."

"Of course, little sister, you have a sweetheart."

Qi Ling'er was stunned for a moment, she bit her lip tightly and didn't know what to say.

At this moment, I heard Wang Yuejiao in the house calling: "Serve the country, Ling'er, come and eat dumplings." ”

Qi Baoguo rubbed his palms and said to Qi Ling'er: "Silly girl, don't sit here and think about it, let's go in and eat dumplings." ”

Qi Ling'er sighed, then pulled up by Qi Baoguo and walked to the house.

As soon as I entered the house, I saw a family sitting around a table, and the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner had already been laid.

Qi Baoguo and Qi Ling'er hurriedly sat down.

Everyone looked at Qi Jiguang in unison.

As the head of the family, Qi Jiguang naturally wanted to say something on Chinese New Year's Eve.

Qi Jiguang cleared his throat and said in a deep voice: "Today is Chinese New Year's Eve, if you say more, the old man won't say much, I just hope that this family can be harmonious." Home and everything is prosperous. ”

is very simple, but it is in line with Qi Jiguang's temperament.

After a pause, Qi Jiguang continued: "But compared with previous years, this year is also different, that is, my Qi family has a new member, I believe you have also seen it, it is Ning Xiu." ”

No way! Ning Xiu couldn't help but secretly slander when he heard this, this old Taishan was too domineering to speak.

He didn't get into the family, why did he become a member of the Qi family?

"Henceforth treat him as your own."

After Qi Jiguang said this, several eldest brothers said that they would definitely take care of their prospective brother-in-law, and Qi Ling'er and Ning Xiu blushed when they heard it.

Then the juniors toasted to the second elder, first Qi Jiguang's sons, then Qi Ling'er, and finally Ning Xiu's turn.

The ceremony cannot be wasted, and only after completing this set of procedures can you have a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner.

It is still the elders who move the chopsticks first.

After Qi Jiguang and Wang Yuejiao started, the juniors could eat.

Wang Yuejiao felt sorry for her son-in-law and daughter, and sandwiched a dumpling between them.

Although Ning Xiu didn't like this move, he also responded with a thousand thanks.

He put the dumplings in his mouth and bit hard, but felt a sore pain at the root of his teeth.

Ah, why are these dumplings so hard?

He didn't care about his demeanor, and hurriedly spit out the dumplings. When he looked at it, he couldn't help but be happy. It turned out that there was a copper coin hidden in this dumpling.

When Ning Xiu returned to his hometown for the New Year in his previous life, the old people were used to wrapping coins in a few dumplings, and those who ate these dumplings were considered to have good luck in the New Year, and they didn't expect that the people of the Ming Dynasty also had this custom!
