Perhaps after they adapted to life in the capital, they put all their hearts and minds on the imperial examination, and several people sharpened their guns for several months, until the examination was about to begin, and they began to slowly adjust their schedule.

Ming Cheng, who is responsible for taking care of their daily life, is busy buying the freshest ingredients every day, and then goes shirtless to personally supervise the subordinates in the family, so that they must do their best to take care of their nephews and sons-in-law.

As for the people in the front yard, Mingcheng also temporarily hired a mother-in-law for them to cook, and Mingcheng also bought all the ingredients and sent them to the front yard by the way, in case they accidentally ate bad stomachs before the big exam began.

After waiting like this for almost a month, it was clear that they had finally waited for the results of the test.

A few people were escorted by the little maid and went to the place where the list was released early, and a few young people who knew martial arts crowded in front of them to watch the list, for fear that the children would be crowded and trampled, took Ming Xu and others to wait for the little guys to come to report in the teahouse not far away.

The waiting time is always extremely difficult, and I don't know how long it took before the Ming family and the Yu family's little servants finally rushed into the teahouse.

"Medium, medium!" The few guys were all out of breath, and the first one only stammered and couldn't say any more.

But the little guy running behind him also gasped and stammered, "All, all hit!" ”

Ming Xu and the others looked incredulous.

They all looked at the third martial artist who entered the door, and the little guy nodded and panted to the three brothers of Ming Xu and Yu Jiayan, "Congratulations."

The few people who were waiting for the news in the teahouse with them were also envious and apprehensive, and several people said "congratulations" to Ming Xu and the others absentmindedly, while scanning back and forth with nervous eyes at the Ming family and the Yu family.

Those little guys also knew that these people were in a hurry, so they gasped for a little bit, and a few people poured beans into a bamboo tube and told all the people on the list they saw.

For a while, the people in this private room were happy or sad, and their moods were mixed.

About two quarters of an hour later, the last servant sent by the Ming family and the Yu family also ran back, holding a list of others who had been copied for two taels of silver.

As soon as the list was returned, all the people in the room gathered around.

Everyone looked at the end from beginning to end, and in the end, they only found twelve people they knew.

Except for the three brothers and Yu Jiayan, three of the remaining eight people are in their room, and the remaining five are just from Jingtai Mansion with them, so they have some intersection with each other.

In other words, only three of these people who were in a box with the Ming family and Yu Jiayan at this time were on the list.

Although the remaining five people had been mentally prepared, after the crowd dispersed, they still refused to go to the front of the list and browse the real list posted on the wall.

It wasn't until they looked back and forth twice on the list that the five of them slumped their shoulders and lowered their heads, looking lost and depressed, and returned to the small courtyard rented by Mingcheng.

The Ming family left behind them to take care of their Huiwu's servant and followed them far behind, until they hurried back to their residence safely, and then the two entered the house through the back door to find Ming Xu to report the matter.

Ming Xu put his mind at ease and began to prepare for the palace exam with Erlang, Sanlang, Yu Jiayan and others.

Of course, while studying hard and practicing diligently, they did not forget to write a letter home to Jingtai Mansion to report the good news.

***

At the end of May, the Yu family and the Ming family welcomed back Yu Jiayan, Ming Xu and others who had been away from home for more than half a year.

The four people who went to the capital to catch the exam, all of them came back with the fame of the Jinshi, such a spectacle, not to mention Fuxing County, even Jingtai Mansion has to count more than 80 years, in order to find out this kind of wonder of the brothers and the Jinshi.

As the son-in-law of the Ming family, Yu Jiayan was ignored, and the storyteller of Jingtai Mansion gave the three brothers of the Ming family a nickname called "One Door and Three Masters".

Although the "three masters" of the illustrated family, as well as Yu Jiayan, who is the son-in-law of the Ming family, these four people are all hanging at the bottom of the top two lists, especially Erlang and San Lang, the two of them almost fell directly into the top three, but no matter what, they all got a Jinshi background in the end.

Even if it's just the tail of the crane, it's better than the top three Tongjinshi who is nicknamed "Mrs. Ru", isn't it?

Especially since they are still brothers on the same list, which can be called a "miracle" anywhere.

The crane tail is wonderful, the common people don't understand this, they only know that the Ming family is now three officials in one go.

On the afternoon when Yu Jiayan, Ming Xu and others returned to Jingtai Mansion, the thresholds of the Yu family and the Ming family were almost broken.

Especially the Ming family, who has a "one door and three masters", whether they have a friendship with the Ming family or not, the squires and wealthy families and officials of Jingtai Mansion are basically all personally visiting the door or sending servants to give gifts.

In order to deal with this rare guest, Ming Xu and Yu Jiayan urgently transferred a group of diligent and responsible subordinates from Zhuangzi to their homes to listen to the call.

Although these subordinates cannot be put in front of the hospital, they can help in the kitchen, pantry, etc.

As lively as the Ming family is Gu Zhizhou's mansion (Gu Daren has been promoted to Zhizhou at the end of his last term), as soon as Gu Chenghui returned to Gu Zhizhou's house, those officials and squires who heard the wind had already flocked to him.

And because of Gu Zhizhou's relationship, the Gu family's visitors are obviously at a higher level.

Except for a few officials with higher official positions than Gu Zhizhou, the other officials of Jingtai Mansion basically came to the door in person to find Gu Zhizhou, who is not usually easy to make friends.

Unlike the Ming family and the Yu family, no matter how promising the three brothers of Yu Jiayan and Ming Xu are, after all, they are only promising, and most of the officials who really hold real power will not personally come to congratulate the descendants of the Ming family and the Yu family in officialdom.

Ming Xu and others had already expected this, and everyone was calm and thoughtful to entertain the guests who came to congratulate them, but there were only a few objects to receive gifts.

Those who have nothing to do with the Ming family or the Yu family, as well as those who have given expensive gifts, the Ming family and the Yu family will all return the gifts.

Only those who usually have a good relationship with them, and the gifts they gave this time are not valuable, the Ming family and the Yu family will leave the congratulatory gifts they sent.

At this point, Yu Jiayan and the three brothers of the Ming family have a very tacit understanding and completely follow the practice of their mentor Gu.

Of course, their situation is much better than that of Master Gu back then, after all, the Ming family and the Yu family are now considered to have a small amount of money.
