Chapter 1048: Entrance Examination to Beijing
The steamed lotus root clip is very good for her taste, light, and it is not the fragrance of the lotus root, but also the taste of meat.
Chen Zheng and Chen Feng, two children, like to eat fried lotus roots, and hope that they can put some spicy seeds in it, which tastes salty, salty and spicy, but they can eat!
Liu Xiuxiu also tasted it herself, and felt that if the conditions allowed in the future, it would not be a big problem to serve the two dishes together, anyway, only the previous processing of the lotus root clamp and the meat filling took a little effort, and it would not take long to steam and fry it in the pot.
There don't seem to be any ups and downs in the days, just like this, it's plain and warm.
The annual exam is also here.
Zhou Bowen and Lu Wei'an were quite famous because they were sent to Jiangnan by the emperor before, but they did not have a serious examination to try to enter the palace.
Although the emperor meant that these two people had a lot of merit, and they didn't need to take the palace test to directly enter the court as officials, although other people in the court also had quite opinions, but in front of this bright merit, they didn't dare to say anything, and there was just some gossip in private.
But Zhou Bowen really didn't want to be an official like this, he had worked hard for decades, and after the furrow in his chest, he was no less than others, so he became an official, although there were a few steps missing, and he might have a smoother life than ordinary people, but it would cause some criticism, if this is the case, he might as well go to the exam step by step, anyway, Zhou Bowen has this confidence, he will definitely be able to get the champion.
Zhou Bowen's self-confidence did not come from a blank, the first in the children's exam, and the first in the county exam, and some of them were so famous among the readers.
Since Zhou Bowen plans to take the exam, then Lu Wei'an must also follow, although he is not as good as Zhou Bowen's homework, but he is not bad after all, he may not be able to pass the first three yuan exam, but the middle jinshi is more than enough.
Si Si and Lu Yan didn't say anything until the two children had planned, just let the two children go as they wished.
When the two children entered the capital for the exam, Si Si and Lu Yan did not accompany the two of them, but only sent a few people to protect them.
"What kind of honor does our family have, it's all torrents and brave retreats, I think it's boring, and I retired directly, if you two want to be officials and do whatever you want, just be worthy of your conscience, and other mothers don't have any requirements, you two have to take care of each other in the capital, you know?" Si Si said to the two children, before leaving: "You don't have to hide it, if someone asks you about the identities of the two of you after entering Beijing, just say it directly, although we don't provoke right and wrong, but we are not afraid of provoking right and wrong, if someone dares to touch you, don't leave any face, just deal with it directly." ”
"After all, there is me and your father here to cover you, even the emperor can't easily say anything about the two of you? If the emperor gives the two of you another problem, even if you send a letter back, I won't rush directly to the palace. ”
"Got it, don't worry, mother, don't you know the two of us?" Lu Wei'an knew that his mother-in-law was also for his own good, but after such chatter, he still felt a little helpless, and after a few words of appeasement, the two of them set foot on the road to the capital.
After the two of them arrived in the capital, they didn't go to meetings and make friends everywhere, they just stayed quietly in the house that Lu Yan had purchased in the capital and studied their homework.
Occasionally, when I go out and meet someone, it's just a few superficial conversations.
The two of them are preparing for the exam in an orderly manner, although the exam will be a little difficult, but both of them are smart, and they are practicing martial arts on weekdays, so it is really nothing to the two of them.
There are many candidates who fainted directly after the test three days later, or brought back by the next person, these two people are only a little tired, and they can still help each other to get into the carriage, go home to wash, and then rest.
"Young master, young masters! Hit, hit. ”
After Zhou Bowen and Lu Wei'an finished the exam, they went out to participate in some poetry meetings and met a few people, but as far as the two of them were concerned, most of the people who went out knew them, and some people still regarded the two of them as idols, and asked them what kind of scene and mentality they had when they went to Jiangsu and Zhejiang for disaster relief before.
Neither of them said anything, and the faint description was over.
A few days passed without incident, and on this day, early in the morning, the list was released.
It was impossible for Zhou Bowen and Lu Wei'an to join in the excitement and squeeze into the crowd to see the rankings, so they just sent a subordinate to go over to watch. The man returned in only two hours, with a smile on his face.
"Both young masters have been hit!"
Zhou Bowen and Lu Wei'an were two people at this time, one leaned on the desk and secretly looked at the notebook, and the other was taking a nap on the bed, although he didn't speak, but the room was calm and quiet.
Lu Wei'an looked at the script and sighed at this time, it turned out that there were so many unspeakable things that happened between the emperor and his mother before, I don't know if it's true or not, but it should be fake, just rely on my father's jealous energy, how can I let my daughter-in-law get so close to other men, just look at these words, they are all nonsense!
Listening to the voices of the people outside, getting closer and closer, Lu Wei'an's little gossip was also washed away, Zhou Bowen frowned, as if he was about to open his eyes, Lu Wei'an hurriedly hid the microphone under the table, and couldn't take care of it anymore, so he straightened out his crumpled clothes, picked up the book on the table, and pretended to look at it, as if he had been studying hard just now.
Reading is really reading, but I don't know what books I read.
Lu Wei'an said to the subordinates who ran in: "What are you doing in a hurry?" What kind of system. The main thing was to wake up Zhou Bowen, Lu Wei was actually thinking like this in his heart.
The two of them fell asleep for a long time last night, although they were still quite energetic, but Zhou Bowen woke up in the morning but was not in good spirits, drowsy, and his waist was still a little sore, so he coaxed someone for a long time and massaged him, let him take a nap, and he didn't sleep for long, and he was woken up.
Lu Wei'an came to Zhou Bowen's side, and after seeing Zhou Bowen sit up, he quietly and silently stuffed a pillow into his back waist very doggedly, and smiled flatteringly.
