In the Ming Dynasty, the examination and the palace examination were not together, and 300 were admitted as tributes. Zhang Luan successfully entered the shortlist, continued his studies in Guozijian, and prepared for the palace exam a month later.

The spring breeze weeping willows and green windows, drizzling rain and flowers wet curtains. In April and May, the south wind came, and when the door was opened, it was open everywhere. At the end of the April palace test, Zhang Luan was finally able to return home. It was rare for the Jin family to take Zhang Erzhen out, but he had a wooden face the whole time. Zhang Erzhen sat unsteadily, twisted around, and cautiously glanced at Jin, who said angrily: "If you can't sit still, just stand and pretend to be pitiful." If I don't take you with me, I don't know what good things will happen to me. ”

Zhang Erzhen opened her mouth to smile, and flatteringly stretched out her little hand to support Jin's and said, "Mother, it hurts here." He freed up a finger and pointed at his buttocks. Yesterday, Zhang Erzhen secretly went to Zhang Luan's study, and was caught by the Jin family, and was hit twice on the buttocks. Kim said that she was too naughty at a young age, and she couldn't have a long memory if she didn't fight.

Hearing this, the Jin family sighed for a while, this wrongdoer, he doesn't let himself go well in everything. After the last incident, although my sister-in-law was no longer angry, she never mentioned the events of the day, only saying that everyone was a relative, and she didn't have to blush and have a thick neck. Looking at his daughter's big deer-like moist eyes looking at him, Jin said, "If you know it hurts, you will be good next time." Zhen Zhen, I will apologize and love your brother Qi when I see you in the future. My sister bullied my younger brother, and I want to let outsiders know that you are not vicious at a young age, saying that your mother did not teach you well. ”

Zhang Erzhen behaved, and Jin continued: "When I see my father later, I am not allowed to shout that it hurts, do you know?"

Zhang Erzhen replied obediently: "It doesn't hurt." ”

At the entrance of the tribute courtyard, there are carriages and horses who come to pick up the tribute students, and the official eunuchs and merchants are all dressed up. After waiting for a while, the tributes came out in twos and threes. Those who are admitted to the temple examination are all extremely talented, and the worst is also a fellow jinshi. For a while, it was bustling, full of people, and lively like a vegetable market.

Seeing Zhang Luan, Zhang Erzhen shouted "Daddy" and trotted over and plunged into Zhang Luan's arms, his little face was very excited. Zhang Luan picked up his daughter lovingly, touched her daughter's delicate cheeks, and then looked at his wife with bright teeth and bright eyes on his side, feeling extremely satisfied.

On the way back, Jin began to chatter extremely dissatisfied, telling Zhang Luan about the matter. Zhang Luan listened, just touched the two small peach bags on Zhang Erzhen's head and said: "If it doesn't work, it won't work, my son is blessed, and he will choose a good family for you in the future." Kim said no more, and the matter was over.

The release of Jinke was grand, and Bachelor Hanlin personally led the team and led several internal officials to make the list. As soon as the adults retreated, the civilians, merchants, and officials squeezed forward one after another. Once the list is released, some people are happy and some are worried, and a narrow list carries too much bitterness in the cold window of ten years. Some candidates can't wait to sharpen their heads and drill in, some people are looking up to the sky and sighing when they find that the ranking is not high, and some candidates are ecstatic to run to tell each other after high school, the scene is real and sad. Zhang Bo and Changfeng crowded into the crowd and watched carefully, only to hear a cheer, and the two of them shouted in unison: "Hit! Hit! The old man won the twelfth place in the second class!"

Zhang Luan and Jin on the outside were also excited when they heard this, Jin wiped the corners of his eyes with a handkerchief, and kept repeating in his mouth: "Great compassion and great grace, great compassion and great grace......"

Zhang Erzhen also followed, she sat in the carriage and didn't come out, and when she heard the familiar voice cheering, she knew that Zhang Luan had passed the exam. wanted to get out of the car to take a look, but Yang didn't allow it: "The girl still don't go out, it's not safe outside, if there is a scholar who loses the list, it's not good to get hurt." After hearing this, Zhang Erzhen felt that it made sense. It was the same in my previous life, I thought I could take the first exam, but I ended up in the tenth place, and there were those who couldn't stand the blow and jumped off the building, so I still didn't want to take risks, so I continued to look outside with the curtain. Most of the scholars are smiling, and they make an appointment to go to the restaurant to eat and drink, and go to the flower house to see the girl.

"Nurse, look, look. Zhang Erzhen saw a little boy leaning in the distance, about seven or eight years old, wearing a crescent-colored silk brocade robe, a bright yellow leather belt tied around his waist, his hair was tied by a crown of hair, and the warm jade between the crowns reflected the light was particularly conspicuous. The point is that he is pale and extremely thin, and at first glance he is unhealthy. Zhang Erzhen dragged Yang again, and when he looked back, the man had already turned to leave, followed by several internal officials on both sides. Yang only saw the figures of a few internal officials in the distance, looked at the disappointed expression on his girl's face and asked with a smile: "Girl, old man high school, it's too late to rejoice, what is the girl's disappointment?"

"Happy. Zhang Erzhen opened her mouth and said, turned her head and stopped thinking about the weak child, and her heart continued to bubble with beauty. I really know how to reincarnate, but in this life I am the daughter of a Jinshi, I am not too happy.

After high school, the Qionglin banquet is indispensable. Zhang Luan invited the head of the Guozijian Division, scholars, colleagues, and relatives to be busy for ten days, and after singing "Luming" for ten days, he was ready to go to the Hanlin Academy on duty.

"This year, as in previous years, I chose to go to the Hanlin Academy to be a Jishi first, and then arrange a place to go after teaching and observing for some time. Zhang Luan took off his robe by the Jin family, sat down and put his feet into the footbasin, sighed comfortably and continued: "Tomorrow I will go to the Hanlin Academy to be on duty, I am not here, Brother Rong also went to find his father, you and Zhen Zhen are at home, if you are bored, go to your brother's house to sit, after all, they are relatives, and they should come and go from time to time." ”

"My brother was promoted again, and my sister-in-law was also a little pickled with a gun and a stick in her speech, secretly saying that Zhen Zhen was naughty and disrespectful to her elders. also said that he didn't care, he always couldn't get along with a child. Zhen Zhen is too, watching Qi'er turn around and leave, I will go to my brother's house again, wouldn't it be uncomfortable. Jin untied the jewelry as he spoke, and after cleaning up, he waited for Zhang Luan to wash his feet, "My body is almost fine, and Lang Zhong also said that there is no big problem." Over the years, I have only raised you a Zhenzhen, and I am already ashamed. Tomorrow you go on duty, I will take Zhen Zhen to the temple to make a wish to enter the incense, there is always something to do. ”

"I never said anything, and if there is fate, the child will come, and there is no hurry. Vera is a bit naughty, but smarter than other children, and I think our daughter is wonderful. Speaking of this, Zhang Luan's expression was a little hesitant, and when Jin saw this, he said, "Luan Lang wants to talk about the Tang family?"

"Or Yao Niang understands me. The child failed to be saved, and Tang regarded Zhen Zhen as her own pain, which shows that she also has a good heart. Tomorrow you can take her with you, and stay in the hospital all day, afraid that you will get sick. ”

"Listen to Luanlang. Tomorrow I will take her with me. Lunch is also used in the temple, and I heard that the vegetarian food in the temple is very delicious. Jin waited for Zhang Luan to wipe his feet, instructed Lu Liu to go out with the foot washing water, turned to Zhang Luan and said, "Rest early, get up early tomorrow." ”
