At this time, it was about half past one o'clock in Beijing time, because there was no standard time-keeping machine, and I could only look at the sun in the sky, and the sun was hanging high in the middle of the sky.

After being hungry for eight or nine hours, Wu Jie's mouth was full of spittle, and he didn't reply, shouting, "Where is Guizhi?" ”

The palace test is a big event, and as soon as Wu Jie goes home, everyone gathers over.

Lian Guizhi hurriedly said, "Master, I'm here." ”

"Any more food?"

Lian Guizhi: "I just had lunch at home, and there are still some leftovers, but the master wants to use them, so I'll do it." ”

"No, just heat the leftovers. Hurry up, hurry up! Wu Jie didn't say anything to urge.

Seeing that Wu Jie was so anxious, the maids and boys were all in a hurry, and they quickly delivered the meals.

Wu Jie pulled two bowls of rice in one bite, and then let out a long breath: "Master Ben is very useful, Guizhi's craftsmanship is really good, you are not allowed to marry out of the mansion in the future, otherwise it will be really difficult to find a good cook like you." ”

Even Gui Zhi's face flushed: "Master, Gui Zhi's body can't live for a few years, and he has never thought of leaving the Wu family in this life." ”

Wu Jie comforted her and said: "I can't say that, Li Shizhen and Imperial Doctor Li said that the maintenance is good, and it shouldn't be a problem to live in your seventies and eighties." ”

Mozi lovingly brushed off the rice grains stuck to the corners of Wu Jie's mouth with his fingers, and said, "How can the master be reincarnated like a starving ghost, and he can eat it better than a concubine." ”

The maids covered their mouths, but they didn't dare to laugh out loud.

Wu Jie put down his chopsticks, took a sip of tea, and sighed: "I didn't eat breakfast or lunch, do you say you're hungry?" ”

"No, didn't the master say that the palace has a supply of food, so I don't have to prepare breakfast?" Lian Guizhi was surprised: "It is said that the imperial food in the palace should be extremely exquisite. How can it be the delicacies of the mountains and seas, the dragon liver and the phoenix marrow? ”

Moth also looked at Wu Jie suspiciously.

Wu Jie sighed: "Don't look at the food in the palace as so mysterious, in fact, the emperor eats worse than the common people." In addition, today's long-lived lord is not particular about food. Today's food is very tight, all cold steamed buns and cold rice, shabby and tight. How can it compare to the craftsmanship of Guizhi, and when you are used to eating meals at home, it is difficult to swallow at all. The so-called from simplicity to luxury, from luxury to simplicity difficult. ”

Moth: "Long live Lord looks like a fairy, he is kind and kind, why do you pick the door like this?" ”

The girls and boys had just entered Wu's house and didn't know about Wu Jie's house. Hearing what Mozi said, they all made a small commotion: "The master and aunt have met the saint." ”

"Ah, have you really seen the face of Banzai?"

"What a blessing this must be!"

……

Wu Jie said with a smile: "The emperor is a person who picks the door, it's just that you don't know him." ”

A few more words. Moth suddenly asked, "The master came back so early today." The face is ugly, isn't it...... I didn't succeed in the exam, and I heard the master say that the palace exam was only one day. Has the list been released, and what happened in the end? ”

Speaking of this, she had a faint melancholy on her face. Although he verbally said that he didn't care about the results of the palace exam, he still hoped that Wu Jie could get a good result in the exam.

Wu Jie: "Where is there such a fast, you have to wait a few days." Although the palace test is only one day, it can be so rolled. Reviews also take time. ”

He smiled and explained the procedure for this exam to Moth.

The temple test is only one day. After the exam today, after the papers are all collected. Tomorrow is the reading officer to read the papers, and select the top three in the first class, and the other seven volumes. The first three of the first three will be awarded to the Hanlin Academy, and the other seven will be awarded the Jishi and sent to the Hanlin Academy.

The rest of the papers will also be ranked.

On the third day, the minister of reading the papers brought the admission list and the top ten papers into the palace to report the examination situation.

On the fourth day, all the candidates entered the palace again to listen to the final ranking announced by the imperial court. "Oh, I see, so I'll have to wait three days." Only then did Mozi understand that although she was anxious before, she was very unkind when talking to Wu Jie.

That's because Wu Jie was a fool before, and the situation at home was also very bad.

But in the past year, Wu Jie has been smooth sailing in the field, from an ordinary silly boy to a Jinshi master, and a close minister of the Son of Heaven, the future is bright, the moth life is leisurely, the mood is good, and the mood is smooth. In addition, she was pregnant again, and learned from others to be a good wife and mother.

Men's affairs, if you shouldn't ask, don't ask, naturally don't know the rules of the imperial examination.

Wu Jie is also aware of this, since he passed the examination and became a de facto jinshi, his entertainment is a bit much. All day long, I either visited the master, or sang poetry and wine with the same year, and it was rare to say a few words with the moth all day long.

Feeling slightly sorry in his heart, he held one of the moth's hands and said softly: "I've snubbed you for a while, I'm sorry." ”

Seeing this, the maid and Lian Guizhi retreated with interest.

Moth smiled: "Master, in front of so many people, Zhuang is the focus." ”

Wu Jie: "What is solemn, you know, I am such a frivolous person. ”

As he spoke, he reached out and hugged the moth, but found that the moth's belly was so big, but he couldn't finish holding it.

Moth leaned his head on Wu Jie's shoulder, and after a long time, he took a breath and said softly: "Master, the palace exam is not as good as other exams, even if the final ranking is not satisfactory, there is nothing bad." If you can't order Hanlin, you can ask the old immortal for a will to be the county magistrate in the local area, and finally be able to respond to Tianfu. ”

Wu Jie: "You miss home, do you really want to go back?" ”

Moth gave him a blank look: "My lord has a chance, so he won't want to return to his hometown with a rich and noble moth, majestic?" After saying that, his face turned red with embarrassment.

Wu Jie laughed: "Wealth does not return to his hometown, it is like a night walk in brocade clothes." I don't care, Moth, sooner or later I'll have to make you show your face big in your hometown. However, I can't go back as a seven-rank sesame official, so I have to get a champion, a leader, and a flower exploration or something. ”

"Really, my lord did well in the exam this time!" Moth was pleasantly surprised.

Wu Jie: "There should be no problem with the top three in the first class, it depends on how it is decided in the end." ”

Mozi waved his hand magnificently: "It's okay to get the champion, you don't want to be on the list, no matter what, you have to be a tanhua, it sounds good." Tanhualang! ”

"I feel the same way."

For this exam, Wu Jie is still very sure, after eating and drinking, think carefully, there should be no problems with the questions he made, calligraphy is good, as long as the examiner does not deliberately make it difficult, properly ranked in front.

In fact, the examiners of this palace examination are either cabinet ministers or ministers, and they are all well-educated and Confucian, where is their identity, it is impossible to deliberately embarrass which candidate has lost their identity.

********************************************

On the second day, the Mandarin Palace.

It is located on the east side of the Forbidden City, and the east is wood, and the color is green. Therefore, the Wenhua Hall is covered with green tiles, which is very eye-catching in the group of red bricks and yellow tiles.

According to the Ming system, this place was originally the place where the prince worked. Jiajing does not have a prince, and this place has become the place where the emperor feasts. When Jiajing was fifteen years old, this place was burned by a fire, and it was burned to pieces, and now, after more than 20 years of repair, it finally has some appearance.

But it still looks a little shabby, and Jiajing is also unlucky, and I don't know if it's a fire. During his forty years as emperor, there were several fires in the palace, and he almost burned to death inside.

Today is the day for the ministers to read the papers, and early in the morning, Yan Song, Xu Jie, and other eight people came here and sat in the hall to read the papers. …,

With so many adults coming at the same time, the officials on duty did not dare to take an extra breath, and they stood on tiptoe when they walked.

The hall was full of candles, dazzlingly bright, and the gold bricks under his feet were as bright as mirrors.

According to the Ming system, eighty-one scrolls were to be divided equally among all the book readers. Therefore, everyone got ten, and Yan Song was the first assistant, and it was eleven.

If the scroll is in line with the reader's meaning, draw a circle on it, and vice versa, a cross.

After reading the paper in hand, the reader will transfer the paper to the next one, and everyone will read it crosswise, which is called "turning the table".

After the table transfer is completed, the ranking is finally determined by the number of circles, and then the chief reading officer, that is, Yan Song, the first assistant of the cabinet, makes the decision.

At this moment, the readers have just finished reading the first round.

This reading paper, the first round is the slowest, and it needs to be carefully reviewed word by word, and then judged the merits. The next seven rounds will be simple, because the previous examiner gave advice first, and with a reference, you can be sloppy and take a look.

Outside, it was already bright and the first round of papers had not yet been read.

The hall was quiet and could be heard, except for the slight breathing of the examiners.

Yan Song is already old, and after reading a few volumes, he feels a little tired, his heart is impetuous, and he is not so attentive when reviewing the article. casually glanced at the scroll, then drew a cross, wrote a line of more than ten words of comments, and threw it aside.

He had something on his mind, and he didn't care much about what was written in the volume.

Wu Jie's got a tribute, and he knew about the Chinese newcomer early. He can't control the things in the examination room. But no matter what, Wu Jie had to be prevented from entering the Hanlin Academy. I heard that this kid has an inexplicable relationship with Yuwangfu, and he is by the side of the Son of Heaven.

Whenever there is a stir in the court, the emperor, and the palace, with him as his eyes and ears, King Yu will know it as soon as possible.

There is such a person in Xiyuan, which is a great obstacle to King Jing's plan but a great obstacle to the Yan family.

In any case, he had to be removed from the emperor's side. Just let him not be in the top ten, and he can't enter the museum. When the time comes, Yan Song can directly send Wu Jie, the magistrate of a small county in the wilderness and borderlands, as a celestial official, to send him away.

In this life, Wu Shizhen doesn't want to go back to Beijing.

But which is the volume of Wu Jie? (To be continued......)
