"Back to Your Majesty, Weichen is grateful to the Holy Grace to be the examiner of the current examination, and he does not dare to live up to His Majesty's trust, how can he go against his heart because of the friendship of his fellow villagers!"

Mei Hanlin's answer brought a smile to the emperor's face.

Zhang Shilang also had something to say, and the emperor bowed slightly, and Zhang Shilang unceremoniously counted Mei Hanlin down.

As long as you, Mei Hanlin, are loyal ministers, and others are traitors?

Zhang Shilang said that he did not dare to live up to the grace of the saint, and he was definitely selecting talents for the imperial court from a fair standpoint.

"Mei Hanlin didn't choose Xuandu to be the leader of the Huiyuan for the sake of his own name, it's really ......"

Zhang Shilang just pointed at Mei Hanlin's nose and scolded him for selling his reputation.

Mei Hanlin did not argue with Zhang Shilang, but still insisted on his choice, and the emperor each appeased a few words, and personally circled a test paper with the imperial pen.

"Do you have any objections from the two Aiqing?"

Zhang Shilang was overjoyed, the emperor's choice was the same as his!

"Wechen has no objection."

Mei Hanlin looked a little reluctant, and also expressed his willingness to obey the holy ruling.

"Now that this matter has been resolved, the Ministry of Rites can release the list on time tomorrow."

"Obey the order!"

Leaving the Qianqing Palace, Zhang Shilang didn't say anything, until he left the palace gate, Zhang Shilang stopped Mei Hanlin with a little pride, "Master Mei, the most important thing for us to be courtiers is to share worries for the emperor, don't you say?" The saint needs to have such a huiyuan, and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty are also happy to see it, why should Lord Mei be a maverick! ”

"Zhang Shilang, you are acting on the Sacred Heart, not a fair choice, you ...... Alas! ”

Mei Hanlin flicked his sleeves and left, but he didn't want to go with Zhang Shilang for a short time, and he looked disgusted with Zhang Shilang's flattering behavior.

Zhang Shilang also snorted.

The emperor may have accidentally remembered Mei Hanlin, who was moldy in the Hanlin Academy, so he took Mei Hanlin out to be the examiner!

With this pedantic and inflexible temperament, I am afraid that I will not have a chance to be reused in the future.

What happened to the Sacred Heart?

If he hadn't been able to speculate on the Sacred Heart, Zhang Shilang would not have been in a high position in his thirties.

The Tao is different, Zhang Shilang and Mei Hanlin are both the examiners of the current examination, but they failed to show friendship, but they didn't like each other.

Mei Hanlin returned home with a black face all the way and announced that the Mei Mansion no longer needed to 'close the door'.

"The list of the first candidates in the examination has been submitted to the Imperial Palace, so I don't have to worry that someone will come to the door, and I can be quiet for a few days."

Mrs. Mei said with a smile: "What is quiet, when the list is released, there will be an endless stream of tributes who come to visit the master." ”

"What do I have to worship as a poor Hanlin master, if I want to worship, I will also go to worship Zhang Shilang."

Mei Hanlin took off his coat with the help of his wife, soaked his feet in the hot water basin, and wanted to hum comfortably.

For a person like Zhang Shilang who has a smooth career, the more people fight, the more Zhang Shilang will not let go.

Mei Hanlin remembered Zhang Shilang's triumphant face, and couldn't help but want to laugh at this time.

Once upon a time, he was also the same as Zhang Shilang.

The ten years of silence in the Hanlin Academy not only smoothed out Mei Hanlin's sharpness, but also taught Mei Hanlin some other things. Speculating on the Sacred Heart is what a courtier should do, and if you guess the emperor's thoughts, do you have to show it?

While showing off his cleverness, don't you make the emperor stupid.

Mei Hanlin soaked his feet comfortably.

"After the trial, the Yang family should also come to the door, and Pujia has made a decision?"

Mrs. Mei originally wanted to ask Cheng Qing if she was on the list, but as soon as Mei Hanlin mentioned Mei Pujia's matter, Mrs. Mei's attention was instantly diverted.

"Pu Jia's child's heart is hidden deeply, I can't say it, you, the father, take good care of her, you have to let her know that we are all her dependence, so that she can make choices as she wants, I don't think the Yang family is good, an empty shell Hou Mansion, no one in his eyes is not a good match, while Pu Jia and Yang Daiying have not yet given birth to a child, they can choose again."

Mrs. Mei is inclined to leave the Yang family aside.

Even if Mei Pujia can't marry someone like the Marquis of Changxing, whether a woman's life is comfortable or not depends on all of this.

Mei Hanlin snorted, "Madame has worked hard, I will talk to Pu Jia." ”

……

The trial release list affects the hearts of countless people.

As long as there is a name on the list of the examination, in principle, the palace examination will not be dismissed, and the palace examination is only determined by the emperor himself for the ranking of the tributes in the examination, and the first, second and third class jinshi are decided.

Cheng Qing was not at home at this time, but in the Xuandu Pavilion.

Tomorrow's list, Cheng Qing, Zhou Heng, and even Dong Jinqiu are not the most nervous, Cui Yan is.

Cui Yan endured the pain and entered the examination room, carrying a lot of pressure.

Cheng Qing can only bring some good news to Cui Yan:

"On the bright side, the third prince is about to have a very powerful concubine, and it is difficult for the other concubines of the third prince to make waves, so you don't have to be in such a hurry."

After receiving the reminder of the meaning of the five princes, Meng Huaijin checked the three princes carefully.

Whether the robbery and murder was done by the three princes did not get definite evidence, but it was found out that there were indeed two beauties surnamed Cui in the inner courtyard of the three princes, who have no names so far, but they are quite favored by the three princes.

Cui Peng was really greedy and sent his two younger sisters to the Three Princes' Mansion.

However, what is the use of birds, Cheng Qing suspects that Mrs. Cui has given Cui Sanniang and Cui Siniang a desperate medicine, being favored for a while does not mean that they will always be favored, as long as they can't give birth to an heir for the third prince, Cui Sanniang and Cui Siniang will eventually be replaced by other concubines one day.

Not to mention anything else, Rou Jia's domineering personality has become the third princess, Cui Sanniang and Cui Siniang have a hard time.

The two of them honestly still have a way to live, if they want to make a monster, Roujia killed the Cui family sisters, the three princes can't even fart a fart, and no matter how rare the beauty is, it can't compare to the support of the eldest princess.

Cheng Qing wanted to laugh after comforting Cui Yan.

Is she still counting on Shangroujia to help Cui Yan?

Cui Yan was also amused by Cheng Qing.

"If Cui San and Cui Si dare to fan the flames in the ears of the third prince, they will be the first to be unlucky. The three princes are dignified and noble, how can they obey the words of the two merchants? Cheng Qing, I'm not worried about their pillow wind, I can't worry about my father's side, he can't walk, so I want to take over your fragrance business, when I went to Beijing, there were two old housekeepers of the Cui family who found Xuandu Mansion...... I'm afraid that Cui Peng will jump off the wall in a hurry! ”

Cheng Qing was also speechless.

The old steward didn't want to follow Cui Peng, and went to great lengths to find Master Cui, this is the personality charm of Master Cui - Master Cui probably felt that he had saved some face, and many concubines did not choose him, but the old guys still supported him.

But Cui Peng must be angry.

Cui Yan's worries are justified.

Zhou Heng listened on the sidelines, and secretly made up his mind that no matter if he didn't get the first place in this subject, he would have to marry the fifth mother of the Cui family immediately. Relying on Cui Yan alone, he may not be able to bear Cui Peng's dog jumping off the wall.

The more the three of them talked, the more energetic they became, and Cheng Qing simply slept in the hall at night.

Waiting until early in the morning, Dong Jinqiu came over early and invited the three of them to watch the list together.

"Xiaolang is a must-win, it depends on the ranking. However, the ranking of the examination is only one 'Huiyuan' important, if you don't have the leader, the ranking of the exam is the same, and the palace examination must be re-arranged! ”

If Cheng Qing is all named Sun Shan, what list do you want to watch!

Cheng Qing himself also has this self-confidence.

She not only has the self-confidence of being the first, but also the self-confidence of competing for the top, and she has come to this point and pretends to say that she doesn't want to take 'six yuan and first', which is not Cheng Qing's style of doing things.

- Even if Mei Hanlin doesn't open the back door for her, he won't trap her, right?
