Cui Yan lost some weight.

When he got off the boat, he walked neither fast nor slow, and a pair of feet landed firmly on the ground, and there was no reluctance between his movements.

Si Yan secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

That's great!

Si Yan was afraid that Young Master Cui would become a cripple, not only would the future of this subject be hopeless, but it would also be over in the future.

Fortunately, Young Master Cui's foot injury looks like he's okay.

"Young Master and Young Master Zhou are waiting for you, they were going to come to Tongzhou to pick you up in person, the spring season is imminent, and the Guozijian has to do a lot of special training, and they are not allowed to take a leave of ......."

Cui Yan took two domestic servants and a boatload of copper ingots to walk, and the wind and dust did not hide his spirit, Si Yan felt that in just three or four months, a lot of changes had occurred in Young Master Cui.

The river breeze on the wharf blew Cui Yan's clothes fluttering, and he lost weight, but he became more stable.

"It doesn't matter, I don't have a superficial friendship with them, and it makes no difference whether I come to Tongzhou to greet me or not. Before I set off, I went to Nanyi to see Aunt Liu, and they had already packed their bags and were ready to go to Beijing, but the copper ship was not allowed to go to the women, so I and Aunt Liu and they divided into two roads, and they walked more slowly, and it would be almost half a month. ”

In more than half a month, the exam will be completed.

Si Yan listened carefully and wrote down the matter. Although Cui Yan said that it was more than half a month, Si Yan pondered that after February 15, he would send someone to Tongzhou to guard, so as not to miss his wife and the two young ladies going to Beijing.

Cui Yan got into the carriage prepared by Si Yan.

There was a stove in the car, and the thick felt was used as a curtain, and the car was hot.

Cui Yan put the stove on the broken leg, and when the cold wind blew, the injury was faintly painful.

The old imperial doctor of Xuandu asked him to take care of himself, saying that the climate in Xuandu is good, and it is not particularly cold in winter, which is suitable for recuperation.

The farther north you go, the colder the climate becomes, and Cui Yan, a southerner, has never seen the climate of the north, so the old imperial doctor said that he couldn't bear it.

Cui Yan didn't believe it, he just couldn't afford to wait.

Before departure, he was not very able to walk, it was a boat on crutches, Mrs. Cui went to the pier to see him off and wiped his tears, and almost couldn't help but tell him about half of the house of gold bricks, so that Cui Yan didn't go to Beijing to take the exam, and there was no shortage of food and clothing at home in a short time.

Master Cui also felt sorry for his son, but he knew that this kind of tempering was good for Cui Yan, and his son wanted to work hard in one go, how could he be a father and mother?

grabbed Mrs. Cui stiffly, and the arm pinched by Mrs. Cui was bruised and did not let go.

Cui Yan took the ointment given by the old imperial doctor and got on the boat.

The big ship transporting copper should rush to Beijing to deliver the copper ingots before the fifth day of the second lunar month, and there are regulations on how many miles the ship travels every day.

I stayed on the boat for more than a month, the water vapor was heavy, and the further north I went, the colder it became, even though the ointment given by the old imperial doctor made Cui Yan's leg injury completely healed and walked without hindrance, it seemed that he still fell to the root of the disease.

Sore, swollen, and swollen, it seemed like hundreds of ants hiding under their skin to gnaw on flesh.

Cui Yan put the stove on his lap, and the heat of the stove warmed up, and it felt much better.

Bear with it, wait until you have endured it, and then ask the good doctor in the capital to take a look.

Cui Yan was picked up by Si Yan to Cheng's house, and it was not until the evening that he saw Cheng Qing and Zhou Heng, and the three of them were very happy to get together again.

Cheng Qing sent a stack of Shi Secretarial Volumes to Cui Yan to see, and Zhou Heng prepared for Cui Yan the recent lecture notes of Guozijian.

"Cui Yan, these are all prepared for the exam!"

Cui Yan also brought them similar pre-exam assault materials, which were obviously from the masters of Nanyi Academy.

"Xiaolang, the masters are all looking forward to your ability to beat the crowd, because you and Senior Brother Meng, the academy is now famous, if you can win the championship again, the academy will definitely be famous in the Great Wei!"

If a Nanyi Academy produces two champions in a row, it should be more famous than other old academies in a short period of time, and the vast majority of scholars study hard to get the title of the gold list, which academy can fulfill their dreams, they will naturally run where.

Cheng Qing smiled, "Where is my credit, it is Senior Brother Meng." ”

Cui Yan didn't argue with her either.

Senior Brother Meng's knowledge is naturally the best, and in the past, he could teach them casually, which could help him and Cheng Qing to be admitted to Xiucai.

But this time is not that time, two years have passed, he and Cheng Qing's knowledge has made great progress, and the two of them can only rely on Meng Huai's guidance to show off, and they can go to the step of lifting people, which is already accumulated by themselves.

Cui Yan felt that Cheng Qing should not be arrogant, some people are particularly clever in scientific examinations, and in Cui Yan's heart, Cheng Qing has a great chance to win the championship.

As long as you can win the 'Huiyuan', the champion will be even more handy.

His Majesty the Emperor is also looking forward to the auspiciousness of Da Wei to produce a 'six yuan and first', right?

Cui Yan and Wang Xijiu have never met, but their expectations for Cheng Qing are the same.

There are two examiners in the examination, and officials from various ministries and yamen will be selected to read the papers together, and there are naturally some people in Guozijian who have been transferred, Wang Xijiu once again paid out of his own pocket to invite his subordinates to drink, and after three rounds of drinking, he will circulate the test papers and articles written by Cheng Qing on weekdays in Guozijian to everyone...... But if Cheng Qing plays well in the three trials, they will silently push it.

The purpose of circulating Cheng Qing's article is to ask the subordinate officials of the Guozi Prison who reviewed the test papers to be familiar with Cheng Qing's handwriting and grammar, even if they are vague and read the papers, they must recognize Cheng Qing's answer sheets from many test papers!

Whether this is fair to other candidates is not in the consideration of the king's sacrifice wine.

If Cheng Qing answers the paper poorly, the test paper will be rejected when it is sent to the examiner.

Wang Xijiu wants Cheng Qing to achieve a better ranking in the examination.

If Cheng Qing wins the 'Huiyuan', then he will definitely be the 'champion' during the palace examination, and the first six yuan and the first, the emperor will be perfected.

When he thought of the six yuan and the first, the king sacrificial wine touched the flat purse, and he didn't feel heartache.

Many people are looking forward to Cheng Qing trying to win the championship, hoping that she can complete the 'six yuan and first', and some people don't want to see Cheng Qing come out.

Among these people is the eldest princess Fuzhen.

The eldest princess of Fuzhen has not had time to trouble Cheng Qing recently, because her energy is focused on eliminating the emperor's anger.

At the palace banquet for the New Year, Roujia was at the same table with Fuzhen, but this year Roujia was not allowed to enter the palace, and Fuzhen endured it.

At the beginning of February, the Queen Mother heard from the two grandmothers sent to the princess's mansion that Roujia's rules were learned well, and she intended to recruit Roujia into the palace to see for herself, but Fuzhen said that she couldn't get used to Roujia, and begged the Queen Mother to be hard-hearted.

It's rare.

The one who is most accustomed to Roujia is obviously Fuzhen!

The mother can ruthlessly restrain Roujia's temperament, and the Queen Mother is also happy to see it.

Fuzhen re-entered and exited the palace, often went to the palace of the concubines to sit down, originally close to the concubine, but somehow estranged, but now close to Concubine Ning.

Fuzhen waited for Concubine Ning to take the initiative to mention the marriage of her children, but when she returned to Concubine Ning's palace, Concubine Ning treated her warmly, but she didn't talk about marriage, Fuzhen was secretly annoyed.

On the fifth day of the second lunar month, the emperor suddenly made a will to give marriage, and chose a concubine for the eldest prince and the second prince, both of whom are famous, but the official positions of the father and brother are not obvious.

The emperor's decree is even more inexplicable than ordering Mei Hanlin to be the examiner.

- The eldest princess Fuzhen gritted her teeth in anger, this is the eldest prince and the second prince who completely gave up on Roujia, hehe, she must call these two princes, as well as Concubine Shu and Concubine Hui, regret this decision!
