Xiao Mu and Lin Yi didn't care much about whether the Song Yingxing brothers who lived in Wang Jingyuan's house had passed the exam, and just now they just looked for it in the list with a curious attitude, since the Song brothers were not on this list, it meant that their knowledge should not have reached the level of being able to be admitted to the Jinshi, and Xiao Mu naturally would not take special care of them just because they were familiar with Wang Jingyuan's family and had a relationship with him. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

And judging from the information that Xiao Mu has, the examination process this time is generally clean and transparent, especially his previous series of measures, which has curbed the possibility of cheating by leaking questions, as for the marking work after the exam, Xiao Mu feels that the courtiers such as Lai Zongdao and Yang Jingchen will not fool themselves on such a major issue, after all, the first year of Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty has not passed, and Wei Zhongxian's experience is still very clear.

In addition, Xiao Mu also asked Luo Yangxing to send someone to secretly investigate, but he did not find any examiners who cheated for personal gain. Therefore, the Song Yingxing brothers did have the real talent enough to crush many candidates and easily get admitted to the Jinshi, but the possibility of falling off the list due to unfair reasons is almost none.

Of course, there is an objective fact that does exist, that is, this form of imperial examination that determines the results by the merits of the article really has too many accidental factors, the same article may be considered very good by this examiner, and it may not be so good in the hands of another examiner, so it is true that the Song Yingxing brothers have similar strength to other candidates, but in the end, because the essay written is not liked by the examiner, the possibility of not passing the exam is also true. But this is undoubtedly a part of the imperial examination itself, and naturally it cannot be attributed to the category of favoritism.

All in all, Xiao Mu and Lin Yi's reaction to the exam results of Song Yingxing's brothers was probably to the extent of "Oh I know", and they were not particularly surprised or surprised because they didn't pass the exam.

……

The next day is the traditional Mid-Autumn Festival in the land of China, whether Xiao Mu realized this before or not, but on this day he can't ignore the festival elements everywhere in the palace, it is obvious that even if Lin Yi didn't mention this to Xiao Mu a few days ago, Xiao Mu can sooner or later rely on his "strength" to think of the Mid-Autumn Festival - after all, the dim sum in the palace these days is mainly moon cakes.

On this day, as he had planned before, Lin Ye, the Empress of the Ming Dynasty who was the mother of the world, invited the wives and ladies of the princes and nobles in the capital to the palace to talk about the "joy of the boudoir" - and then Lin Ye and Xiao Mu found that although they were "princes and nobles", there was no one who was qualified to be called "king" in the capital, in fact, the last "king" that existed before in the capital was the Chongzhen Emperor himself who Xiao Mu possessed, and when the first emperor Tianqi Emperor was in power, he was the king of faith.

Therefore, the most noble identity invited by Lin Yi this time is only the lady and lady at the level of the national prince, and the most prominent and famous in the capital are the British Duke Zhang Weixian and Cheng Guo Duke Zhu Chunchen.

The ancestors of these two princes were Zhang Fu and Zhu Neng, who followed Ming Chengzu Zhu Di to launch the Battle of Jingyan, and made great contributions in the Battle of Jingnan, and their relationship with Ming Chengzu Zhu Di's monarch and ministers was naturally extraordinary, otherwise Ming Chengzu would not have given them such a noble title.

Of course, no matter how close and harmonious the relationship between the emperor and these two ministers was during the period of Ming Chengzu, after all, more than 200 years have passed, and the current emperor and these two current princes are naturally not as close as they were during the Ming Chengzu period, not to mention that the soul of the current emperor has been controlled by a future person, Xiao Mu, so that the relationship between the two princes who were not too close is even weaker.

In fact, in Xiao Mu's view, these two princes are two extremely rich people, and their purpose is to make money from them, so in fact, in Xiao Mu's view, it seems that the relationship between himself and them is just a naked money relationship, but this time the "hardcover collector's edition" cards can not earn their money, but to give them for free, which naturally makes Xiao Mu a little unhappy - although he knows that "reluctant children don't look for wolves", "there is a reward for paying", and although he knows very wellThe true cost of the cards that were "rewarded" to them.

But fortunately, according to the original plan, this time it was only Lin Yi who invited the women led by Cheng Guogong and Miss British Duchess to come to the palace, so Xiao Mu did not need to participate in it, and there was no need to invite their husbands and fathers, that is, British Dukes, Cheng Guogong and others to stare at them, which was naturally good news for Xiao Mu - of course, only in this way could this group of ladies and ladies put pressure on their husbands and fathers after returning home, and their "rewards" in the next two days would be more precious.

In addition to several ladies and ladies of the national family, the imperial sister-in-law Empress Zhang, the also pregnant Concubine Tian, and the "genius mahjong girl" Concubine Yuan were also invited to Ringo's dormitory, and the entire dormitory was full of laughter between women.

This kind of occasion for women to gather is obviously not suitable for Xiao Mu, a big man, to follow and mix, even if he is the supreme emperor of the Ming Dynasty, after all, he doesn't want to leave any nonsense in the history of barnyard officials in the future, "Emperor Chongzhen is lascivious and lustful, and often summons his subordinates' wives and daughters into the palace and forces them to have sex with him".

So although it is the Mid-Autumn Festival, Xiao Mu at this time does not have anything to do, and an important reason why people are happy about the festival is that they can wear new clothes and eat food that they can't eat on weekdays, but these two points are not a problem for Xiao Mu at all, so this festival is not as interesting as he imagined - in fact, he had this feeling before Xiao Mu crossed, let alone the Mid-Autumn Festival at that time, even if it was the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve, he did not feel how happy and happy, Especially when compared to when he was a child.

In short, Xiao Mu, who felt a little bored in such a festival, had to find something to relieve his boredom by himself, and in the time and space of Daming, there seemed to be no other better choice for things that could be used to kill time besides reading.
