Chapter 60: The Palace Examination (2nd Watch)

The location of the palace test is in front of the Taihe Palace.

The weather in April, although it is spring, is still a little cool in the capital.

In addition, the palace test is outside, the spring breeze is blowing, it sounds beautiful, but it is not very beautiful when it is blowing.

The time of the temple examination is one day, during which no candles are provided, two chapters of papers, a formal answer sheet, and a draft scroll used to make drafts, and the time is up to be handed in.

The tribute students who participated in the palace examination all walked to the front of the Taihe Palace, and naturally they all wanted to fight, although the top three can also be officials, but they can't be big officials.

Therefore, everyone attaches great importance to it, and they all write it very seriously.

Tong Xuewen was also nervous, after all, he was Huiyuan, and now he was already famous, because he was famous, he naturally had to bear more.

Fortunately, he was mentally strong and had a good ability to bear it, and after knowing the test questions, he thought about it carefully, and then threw himself into it and began to write on the straw paper.

Even Kangxi walked up to him, he didn't notice it, and the degree of care can be imagined.

Kangxi deliberately walked down, but also to see Tong Xuewen, the "light" of the man, looking at his state, Kangxi was very satisfied, it was a good one.

Tong Xuewen's writing is not affected, it does not mean that others are not impressed, no, Kangxi came down for a while, and many people's thoughts were confused.

Kangxi didn't care about the mentality of these candidates, and sat back again.

After a whole day of the palace examination, Tong Xuewen was immersed in doing the questions, and in the afternoon, he felt that he had almost changed it, so he transcribed the answers on the straw paper on the clean examination paper.

After writing, Tong Xuewen breathed a sigh of relief, stopped writing, and then looked around and found that most of the people were still writing.

Kangxi saw him stop writing above, his heart moved slightly, and he walked down after a while, and then walked next to Tong Xuewen.

Kangxi glanced at his scroll, and then looked a little fascinated.

Kangxi watched from his side, although Tong Xuewen was also a little nervous, but he was able to hold on, and the luck of the people around him was not very good, because Kangxi stood still, and they also beat the drum in their hearts.

The candidate behind Tong Xuewen was not careful, and he was about to finish transcribing, but his hand shook and a word was ruined.

and couldn't change the paper again, and the candidate wanted to cry without tears.

Kangxi also found out, and then left casually, returned to sit in the Taihe Palace, Kangxi touched his nose, a little weak, but then he thought confidently, this candidate's psychological quality is also an assessment point, and he is nervous when he sees him, so it's not good.

The time for the exam passed quickly.

It was as if it was a blink of an eye, so everyone heard the eunuch shouting in a sharp voice: "When the hour comes, stop writing." ”

The examiner came to collect the exam papers, and Tong Xuewen handed in the papers, only to feel relaxed.

Out of the palace gate, it was not too early, Tong Xuewen refused the invitation of his classmates and returned to the house in a carriage.

As soon as his carriage arrived in front of the house, the little servant in the porter hurriedly ran to report, he first went to the front yard where Alhatu was, briefly talked about the exam questions, and then said what he wrote, Alhatu felt okay, nodded with satisfaction, and took him to the main courtyard of the Shumulu clan.

When they arrived, Shu Mulu had already ordered the kitchen to prepare the meal.

Shu Mulu: "It's back." ”

Tong Xuewen: "Let Eniang worry." ”

Tong Cheng'er: "How did the second brother do in the exam, is it difficult?" ”

Shu Mulu glanced at Tong Cheng'er: "What are you talking about, the exam is over, it's useless to ask these questions, wait for the result, dinner is ready, let's eat!" ”

Tong Cheng'er was aggrieved: "E-niang doesn't hurt me anymore." ”

Shu Mulu glared at her: "A lazy girl with no conscience, she doesn't hurt you much on weekdays?" ”

Tong Xuewen looked at her dotingly, but said, "Lazy girl, what about you!" ”

Tong Cheng'er stared at her big round eyes, and couldn't believe it: "Second brother, who do you say is a lazy girl!" ”

Tong Xuewen asked rhetorically: "What do you say?" ”

Tong Cheng'er got up from her chair and made a gesture to hit him.

Shu Mulu saw it, and hurriedly said: "Okay, okay, how old are the people, it's still noisy, and the old man just watched it, and he didn't know how to say a word." ”

Alhatu's hand serving tea was paused, how could he still be involved with him, there is no calamity!

But since they have all been named, it is indeed not good to be indifferent.

So he put down the teacup and said, "Don't mess up, look at your mother." ”

Shu Mulu disagreed: "I'm not angry. ”

"Okay, okay, you're not angry, I'm angry."

Shu Mulu was embarrassed: "You can't speak well. ”

The flames of war immediately burned from Tong Xuewen and Tong Cheng'er to Alhatu.

Alhatu immediately begged for mercy: "Fujin, I was wrong, the children are still here!" Didn't you say that the meal was ready, let's hurry up and eat, Xuewen should be hungry, right, Xuewen. ”

When Tong Xuewen heard this, he restrained the smile on the corner of his mouth and nodded: "Yes, Eniang, I'm hungry, let's hurry up and eat!" ”

Shu Mulu: "Wait a while, no one has come yet, what to eat." ”

Alhatu and Tong Xuewen: ......

Tong Cheng'er laughed out loud on the side.

In an instant, the three of them looked at her.

Tong Cheng'er hit a spirit, and then said, "I'll go out to see why the eldest brother and the third brother haven't come over yet." ”

After saying that, he ran out.

Alhatu was dumbfounded: "What is this kid running?" "I didn't plan to do anything to her, I looked at her and was so scared that I wanted to run?

Shu Mulu glared at Alhatu angrily: "You shut up for me." ”

Alhatu shut up, thinking in his heart, Fu Jin didn't know when it became like this, obviously he was gentle and careless to him in the first two years, caring and thoughtful, but now he is either yelling or shouting, which makes him very family-worthy.

Tong Xuewen looked at Ama Eniang, touched his nose, looked up, and the corners of his mouth raised a slight arc.

After a while, Tong Cheng'er brought her eldest brother, sister-in-law, third brother and Liu Shaoyi over, and the family plus a borrowed one got together for a meal.

Before going to bed at night, Shu Mulu thought of Liu Shaoyi, who was becoming more and more outstanding, and his mind moved slightly.

"Master, Shao Yi will be removed next year, although the child did not grow up in front of us, but he also knows the roots, and he has grown up in front of us for a few years, how about you marry Orange to him in the future?"

Alhatu was originally walking sleepy, but when he heard this, he instantly sobered up: "Orange is still young, it's too early to give her Zhang Luo, and besides, isn't it that there is no draft yet?" What are you anxious about? ”

Shu Mulu thought more long-term: "How can I not be in a hurry, just our daughter, I don't have to ask someone to deliver a message to the nobles in the palace when the draft is picked, and her lazy nature, you are willing to let her marry the family, and she will not be uncomfortable to die at that time, I think Shao Yi is good, although the parents are dead, there is no elders, let's help more, at least the girl can live comfortably, if Shao Yi's child doesn't mind, when the time comes, the two will get married, and they will still live in the house." ”

Shu Mulu thought very beautifully, she was reluctant to give up her daughter, even if she knew that she would be drafted one day and then get married, but she privately hoped that her daughter would be closer to her.

On the one hand, she looks good at Shaoyi, and on the other hand, she is satisfied with Liu Shaoyi's life experience.

When Alhatu heard this, although he still felt that it was inappropriate, he was not as resistant to this matter as he was at the beginning, thinking of the draft, he said: "Don't worry about this, my daughter is still young, wait for the draft to pick up the brand, no matter what, I can't let my daughter fall into the handle." ”

The process still has to go through a bit.

Shu Mulu: "I know, I didn't think that Shao Yi was not small, if it weren't for his filial piety, he would have started a family a long time ago, I was afraid that he would be in a hurry." ”
