Chapter 251: The Chosen Body
The next day, the results of the examination were announced, and there were few names with black and gold inscriptions on a brightly colored red paper pasted on the bulletin board, and it was hastily estimated that there were about two or three thousand people who participated in the examination this year, and there were only about three hundred names on the list.
Except for the first place, everyone else's names are stacked on top of each other, and you have to look closely to find your own name.
Everyone scrambled for red eyes, and finally squeezed in but didn't see their names, so they could only beat their chests and think about taking the exam again next year or simply going home to farm.
And those who are successful in the exam cheer on the spot, this probability of one in a hundred, naturally makes people red.
Jinshi still has three days to prepare for the palace test, Xu Ziqiao is not in a hurry to see, Li Ji feels that he is not upset, but at the moment when others informed him that he was on the list, he immediately rushed to the inn to share the good news with Xu Ziqiao.
"Brother Xu! I've heard people say that you are this year's Huiyuan! You have two yuan for three yuan, it seems that you are close to Feihuang Tengda!" Li Ji's heart can fly to the sky at this moment, and there is nothing more exciting for him than being on the list.
In contrast, Xu Ziqiao was much calmer, "Don't say it too early, what are you so happy to do." ”
"I'm different from you, it's already a great blessing for me to be able to be admitted to the Gongshi, even if I can only get a top three in the palace exam at that time, I will be glorious in this life." Li Ji jumped up happily when he said it, and completely forgot that the palace test was still a choice.
This admission to the Gongshi is actually a happy thing, Xu Ziqiao is so calm, he can also understand Li Ji's mood, so he didn't continue to pour cold water on him, just glanced at him and shook his head helplessly.
"Hey, sister-in-law, I'm glad I've been admitted, I'll treat you to a snack!" Li Ji Meimei grabbed a handful of melon seeds and swallowed it, you must know that if you can be admitted to the top three, you will have a subsidy for life.
"Don't think so much about the entanglement on your body, the Hou Mansion has helped us a lot during this time, and she went to the Hou Mansion to give gifts." Xu Ziqiao also took an apple and wiped it, and took a bite.
"Why did my sister-in-law go out at this time, Brother Xu, I didn't say you, although that Qi Zhengxi looks on par with you, but this family is huge, you have to take good control of your sister-in-law." Li Ji muttered a few words, and quickly closed his mouth after seeing Xu Ziqiao's color deteriorate, "No, he doesn't mean that with me, you see that you are already a Huiyuan now anyway, you must not be far from the champion, and you may not be worse than the second ancestor at that time." ”
Seeing Li Ji laughing, Xu Ziqiao had no intention of ignoring him, now he is indeed inferior to Qi Zhengxi, but he will not give Lin Huiru away.
"You don't have to be nosy, if you have this effort, you should go back and read more books, the provincial palace has already come to this point, and it would be a pity to fall off the list again." Xu Ziqiao said, put aside the apple he had bitten on, turned around and went to the window, opened the window and looked down.
"Brother Xu, I really said the wrong thing just now, don't mind, I will definitely change it in the future, not to mention that I don't know who my sister-in-law is, don't you understand." Li Ji's back was cold, and he hurriedly came over to apologize.
Lin Huiru, who was sitting in the Pingyang Hou Mansion at this moment, sneezed twice in a row, and Qi Zhengxi couldn't help frowning, "But it's a cold?"
"Probably not, don't bother the prince of the world to worry, this time I came to send something to thank you for your repeated help in the past few days." After Lin Huiru finished speaking, he opened one of the wooden boxes.
There is a set of cosmetics in it, and she didn't put some things in the design that is too modern, "I believe that Mrs. will understand the usefulness after seeing them, and this is the perfume that was popular in the capital some time ago. ”
"Miss Lin is not giving me a gift, she is giving a gift to my mother." Qi Zhengxi said helplessly, but his eyes also lit up, after all, the market price of this thing is more than a thousand taels, Lin Huiru used to bargain with him for dozens of taels, how could he easily take out two sets of rare things, "But this perfume is too expensive, I can transfer other things on my behalf." ”
"The day before yesterday, I saw that the prince was worried about what to give, and I have received a lot of favors in the past few days, so I want to help you worry less. As for this perfume... The origin of freedom, I hope that the prince will not be investigated. Speaking of it, Lin Huiru suddenly felt that she seemed to be a little scheming, which was a little strange to give things to other people's mothers and aunts...
"Pity me for working so hard for so long, but I don't have anything?" Qi Zhengxi raised his eyebrows, but he twisted the topic very tricky without asking.
Lin Huiru was a little embarrassed, she really didn't know what to send a man, Qi Zhengxi saw her embarrassed appearance, so he didn't tease her anymore, "Miss Lin doesn't have to take it to heart, it's just a joke, and I don't have anything missing or liking, so I don't bother Miss Lin." My mother and aunt must have been very happy to see these things. ”
She didn't mean to make the daughters of the Zhengxi family happy!
At this moment, Lin Huiru suddenly had a feeling of grievance that he couldn't tell with a hundred mouths, and the topic of helplessness was always taken away by Qi Zhengxi.
"By the way, I heard that Miss Lin's husband, but this year's Huiyuan, congratulations." Qi Zhengxi didn't expect that their Hou Mansion would actually entrap a Huiyuan, and according to previous practice, Huiyuan was generally a first-class person.
Lin Huiru was also stunned for a moment, she originally wanted to wait for the meeting to go and watch the list with Xu Ziqiao to celebrate, but she didn't expect Qi Zhengxi to give her a lottery first.
But it's something to celebrate.
"Thank you Shizi for reminding us, because there are many people, we haven't had time to see it, and with Shizi's words, it can make the body suffer less from crowding." Lin Huiru hurriedly thanked him.
"I also want to thank you, the forces in the DPRK and China are gradually biased towards the princes, if there are talented people to defend Your Majesty, our dynasty can be more prosperous." Although Qi Zhengxi is polite, Xu Ziqiao can be regarded as defecting to their Pingyang Marquis Mansion, and it is indeed a great joy to get a future first-class person.
Lin Huiru waved his hand, "I'm just a woman, it's good for the prince to talk freely with my husband about these things, I'm afraid it's difficult to talk about court affairs with the prince." ”
"Also, I don't know how Miss Lin's shop was chosen?" Qi Zhengxi nodded thoughtfully, and asked with a helpless smile. How could he talk to a woman about court affairs, even if Lin Huiru was smart, he would inevitably lose his elegance.
