Xiao Liulang was admitted to Huiyuan, and the whole family was very happy.

The old sacrificial wine didn't say anything, but the smile in his eyes couldn't be hidden.

Although he thinks that with the strength of his apprentice, there is no suspense at all about being admitted to Huiyuan, but it does not prevent him from being happy.

For dinner, he cooked several extra dishes, and the family had a full meal.

The old lady gave Xiao Liulang a big red envelope, and the one he won by playing the leaf card today was also given to Gu Jiao, the nephew and grandson had a hard exam, and Jiaojiao took care of this stinky boy even harder.

Xiao Liulang accepted the red envelope, turned his head and gave it to Gu Jiao.

"Ahem, home." He said seriously.

"Oh." Gu Jiao accepted it.

The silver earned by Qingfeng Lou is not as fragrant as the silver given by the father-in-law!

"Are there any exams ahead?" Gu Jiao asked.

"Something else." Xiao Liulang said, "There will be a re-examination at the end of March, and a palace examination in April. ”

The so-called re-examination, in fact, is more like a roll call exam, which is not of great significance, and is not included in the score, it is said that it is to compare handwriting and prevent someone from cheating in the spring festival.

The palace exam is the next highlight.

The palace examination was conducted by the emperor himself, and Jiuqing invigilated the examination together, and all the candidates sat under their noses to answer the questions, and the pressure can be imagined.

The palace examination of the previous dynasty was only one day.

In this dynasty, in order to better select talents, it was changed to one day of paper examination and one day of face examination.

However, not all candidates have the opportunity to take the exam in person.

Basically, only the best of the first paper examination can be summoned by the emperor and questioned by the emperor himself.

Of course, if the emperor is willing, in the first exam, you can also ask people to answer the questions at will, which is a great test of the candidate's psychological quality and on-the-spot performance.

Some candidates are very knowledgeable, but they are too timid, and they can't perform in the palace examination, so today's ranking of tributes does not mean that they can finally get the same results in the palace examination.

Xiao Liulang also encouraged Feng Lin and Lin Chengye in this way, so that the two of them had no distractions to take the exam.

"Will you fail the test?" Gu Jiao asked.

"Not really." Xiao Liulang patiently explained.

The palace examination does not brush people, only ranks, that is, as long as you are admitted to the Gongshi, you have the opportunity to become a Jinshi.

It's just that Jinshi also has a hierarchy.

The first three names of the palace examination are called the first class jinshi, there are champions, list eyes, tanhua, and give jinshi and the first.

The second class is given the birth of a jinshi, and the third class is given the same birth of a jinshi.

The first and second class jinshi all belong to the main list of jinshi, and the third class is said to be equivalent to jinshi, but in fact they still fall off the list, and giving a fellow jinshi is a comfort to those who fall off the list.

It is unlikely that these losers will develop in the capital, and they can only go to the local government to be a county magistrate.

The first-class jinshi can directly enter the Hanlin Academy, and the second- and third-class jinshi will conduct a court examination, and the one who is admitted is called the Shu Jishi, and the Shu Jishi is also eligible to enter the Hanlin Academy after three years of study and passing the dispersal examination.

Hanlin Academy is the talent reserve of Zhaoguo, there is a saying that non-Jinshi does not enter Hanlin, non-Hanlin is not as good as the cabinet, Hanlin Academy is a place where all candidates dream of going.

In fact, entering Hanlin does not mean that you can rise to the top, and Hanlin also has Hanlin exams and rules, which is a later story.

Gu Jiao pondered in her heart, she had already become a Gongshi lady, and the next step was to be a Jinshi lady.

"Who's the third?" She asked.

Because Xiao Liulang and King Anjun are tied for first place, there is no second, and the next one is directly third.

The third-ranked Gongshi is a classmate surnamed Cao of Xiao Liulang Guozijian Rateful Hall, who is Chinese New Year's Eve years old today, not a native of the capital, and became famous at a young age in his hometown, and he was almost disheartened after taking the exam several times without high school.

This year, in the middle of the lift, Chunqiu, in one fell swoop, become a tribute.

Gu Jiao remembered that Qingfeng Lou didn't have this name on the betting list, and he thought it was an upset, but not many people paid attention to him under Xiao Liulang's super-big unpopular aura.

For dinner, the family was full, perhaps because they were happy, everyone ate more than usual, except for a small clearance.

As the only child in the family, Xiao Qingkong is very vigilant.

The bad brother-in-law is tied for first place with others this time, and a tie for the first place makes everyone happy like this, which shows how low everyone's expectations for the bad brother-in-law are, and how bad his usual studies are.

Xiao Jingkong decided to give the bad brother-in-law a wake-up call, so that he should not be too proud, so as not to accidentally return to the prototype.

Of course, at the same time, he decided to give him a little reward.

"Give me a reward?" In the study, Xiao Liulang looked at Xiao Jingkong with a strange expression.

The sun is coming out in the west? The little monk actually wanted to reward him?

Xiao Jingkong's little hand was behind his back, and he mumbled, and said with a serious face: "Master Jiang said that we should care for the disadvantaged. ”

The bad brother-in-law is the penultimate one, and he is a disadvantaged group.

Xiao Liulang pointed to the Huiyuan document on the table: "Please, I took the first positive number test." ”

Xiao Jingkong pouted and snorted: "It's just a juxtaposition." ”

Xiao Liulang looked at him angrily and funny: "Then you should take a Huiyuan test for me." ”

"Then you wait for me to grow up!" The small clearance means that he is full of confidence!

Xiao Liulang couldn't cry or laugh: "Okay, after saying so much, what do you want to reward me?" ”

Little Clearance asked, "What do you want?" ”

What can Xiao Liulang ask him for? It can't be rent-free.

Xiao Liulang thought for a moment, and it really made him think of something that he coveted: "On your birthday, Jiaojiao gave you a gift." ”

The little clearance exploded: "You're too much!" You're going to snatch the gift Jiaojiao gave me! ”

Xiao Liulang spread his hands innocently: "You asked me what I wanted, and now I have said it." ”

Xiao Jingkong frowned, he is a good boy who talks about credit, and he can't go back on his word.

He held back the pain and asked, "Are you going to Jiaojiao to send me checkers?" ”

Xiao Liulang said: "What am I going to do checkers?" I want that. ”

Xiao Jingkong and Xiao Liulang were born on the same day, Gu Jiao gave gifts to both of them, and the gifts to Xiao Jingkong were other than checkers.

Xiao Liulang was referring to the thousand paper cranes.

Xiao Jingkong's little fist was tightened, and he looked at Xiao Liulang with some incredulity and sadness: "You, what do you want to do with a big man?" That's what we kids have! ”

Yo, do you remember that you are a child at this time?

Xiao Liulang said: "If you want it, will you give it or not?" ”

Properly Xuan Pinghou played tricks with the same paragraph.

Xiao Jingkong glanced at Xiao Liulang with a complicated expression, with a bewildered expression.

Xiao Jingkong took a deep breath, closed his eyes, his expression was indescribable, and after a while, he turned his heart sideways: "Okay, since you insist." ”

As he spoke, he took a step forward as if he were heroic, and under Xiao Liulang's stunned gaze, he kissed him on the right cheek!

Xiao Liulang: "......"

After the kiss of the small clearance, both of them are not good.

What kind of sin is this, God?

Little Clearance: I've sacrificed too much!

The thunder was rolling in Xiao Jingkong's heart, he stuck out his tongue, rolled his eyes, and went out frantically!

Xiao Liulang shuddered after coming back to his senses, saying that he was also thundered and didn't want to.

When Gu Jiao entered the room, the corners of Xiao Liulang's mouth were still twitching.

"Huh? What's wrong? Gu Jiao looked at him in amazement.

Xiao Liulang coughed lightly: "It's nothing." ”

It's a shame, it's not worth mentioning.

Gu Jiao walked into the house and handed him a plate of small brocade boxes.

"This is—" Xiao Liulang took the box and opened it to see that there was a satin red headband inside.

He has not yet reached the crown, he cannot wear a crown, and he is not used to using hairpins.

The original hairband is old, this is the color of Gu Jiao's own bleaching, which sets him just right, cold as jade, but it can be as glamorous as a peach and plum.

"It's ...... Will it be a gift? Xiao Liulang asked.

"Huh?" Gu Jiao was stunned for a moment.

Obviously not, Xiao Liulang lowered his eyes, he didn't say anything, but his appearance was inexplicably revealing a little grievance.

Gu Jiao instantly felt that she had wronged her husband.

Xiao Liulang sighed and said, "Jingkong just gave me a gift. ”

What if you don't mention it?

Even the clearance was sent, so wouldn't it be too unreasonable not to send it yourself?

Gu Jiao hurriedly said, "What gift do you want?" ”

"Actually, it doesn't have to be too troublesome, just keep it simple." Xiao Liulang straightened his face and said seriously, "On the day of my birthday, there was a small clear space, but I didn't have it." ”

The last time Xiao Liulang said this, he got a small fragrant kiss from Gu Jiao.

"Oh." Gu Jiao understood in seconds, turned around and went out, and when she entered the house again, there was an extra paper crane in her hand, "Give!" ”

In Gu Jiao's opinion, on the day of his birthday, there was a small clear space but Xiao Liulang did not have it, only Qinqin and a thousand paper cranes, and the kisses had already been given, so there were only a thousand paper cranes left.

Xiao Liulang, who didn't want this paper crane at all: "......"
