"After a lot of calculations, I didn't expect that two hillbillies from the countryside would know a character like Shizi. It's really unlucky. In the wing, Shen Jiao changed his previous gentleness with the gentleness of everyone's ladies, turned his head and wrinkled tightly, with a faint resentment on his face.

Shen Fu stood aside and fiddled with the flower branches, scoffing at this, "The candidates who can be selected this year, we can find out, and the Hou Mansion will definitely be able to find out, do you believe that they are really so fateful?" ”

"Yes, but this matter should be uncomfortable no matter how you think about it, we have checked the results of so many candidates, and there are only four or five people who are most likely to be selected, and now if they are assigned to one by the Hou Mansion..."Shen Jiao said, a ruthless look suddenly appeared on his face.

"If it is really a person who can achieve great things, will he go to the Hou Mansion to stand on the side of the Hou Mansion? Here to serve the emperor who is about to step into the loess? And everything has already been delivered, so why worry. Compared with his sister, Shen Fu is much calmer.

"Forget it, it's useless to think so much, you hurry up and hand in the answer to memorize it, it's the exam the day after tomorrow." Shen Jiao reminded lightly, in fact, if you want to look down on Shen Fu in your heart, you will despise as much as you want.

This brother is not her biological brother, and the down payment is actually unlearned, and these results are basically bought, she is really worried that if Shen Fu can be nominated for the palace examination and revealed his feet after His Majesty asked, it will also implicate their Shen family.

"You can rest assured that I will do things, a woman's family, let's find out how to help my father and his old man tie up a golden beetle son-in-law. I think that little prince is not bad, but unfortunately there has always been a Ji Linglong by his side, and that Ji Linglong is the queen's niece, if you work hard, maybe you can also mix a side concubine. Shen Fu sneered, his tone was full of mockery, the two brothers and sisters were not as harmonious as in the daytime, but here they had to fight in the nest first.

"You!" Shen Jiao slapped the table heavily, hesitated in the next moment, and didn't dare to come out, although he was the rightful eldest lady of the Shen family, but this Shen Fu was the only man in their family, even if he was a concubine, he was not able to be born by her father.

"What, am I wrong?" Shen Fu was completely sure of this, and after ridiculing Shen Jiao, he didn't need to stir up the contradiction with his sister even more, so he turned around and went out to look for flowers and ask Liu.

But what they don't know is that the things they are in control have already been secretly dropped, and all the leaked exam questions have been changed, and even those without answers have been re-changed.

Until the day of the exam.

"Brother Xu, how is it, are you sure?" Li Ji found Xu Ziqiao's figure from afar, and he trotted to Xu Ziqiao's side with both hands.

"What about you? Have you worked hard these days?" Xu Ziqiao must be out of the question, but he is the one who was nakedly copied an answer in front of him.

Li Ji was still a little deflated after scratching his ears and cheeks, "We have been friends for many years, Brother Xu, I won't hide it from you, I think I am very likely to go to the capital for nothing, and it is hard for you and my sister-in-law to take me on this tour of the mountains and rivers." ”

"Don't say this kind of thing, you haven't seen the test questions yet, it's too stupid to frustrate your ambition first." Xu Ziqiao said that the corners of his lips suddenly hooked up a little confused, and sneered softly, he suddenly remembered the answer to the test question at this time, if he didn't let Lin Huiru report it, I'm afraid that the candidates present today have basically decided who can be selected.

The people in the examination room today, in addition to Xuezi as big as Xu Ziqiao, there are also some people who have always insisted on the imperial examination, and I also saw a person who held a child and stuffed his child to his daughter-in-law before entering the examination room.

Recalling this morning, Lin Huiru also deliberately bought Xu Ziqiao a fried dough stick and two eggs according to modern methods, so as to wish him a victory.

Xu Ziqiao asked Lin Huiru several times, what does this mean? But Lin Huiru couldn't explain it, so he could only tell him that it was an auspicious request.

The atmosphere in the examination room was tense and unusual, in fact, Xu Ziqiao raised his head and looked around, and basically he could see from the expressions of some people that it was possible to get the answer or receive a conversation or something like that.

After all, to be able to receive an answer, they must have a bamboo in their hearts, and they deliberately want to be like ordinary people and not have so many small actions, and this is exactly what Lin Huiru once reminded him of some of his ways of thinking.

Lin Huiru chose a teahouse closest to the examination room to sit, so that he was thinking about some other things while waiting for Xu Ziqiao.

In the past few days, he has turned around the downtown area of the capital, but he has not seen the shops ready to be transferred, let alone transferred, everyone's business is not good, even if the food is unpalatable, some people will have no choice but to choose there.

Could it be that her plan to do business in the capital is about to be shattered?

"Are you worried?" A male voice suddenly came into his ears, and Lin Hui subconsciously looked at the source of the voice.

"Qi Shizi." Maybe it was a coincidence, Qi Zhengxin also appeared in this teahouse, and Lin Huiru politely got up and saluted.

Qi Zhengxi waved his hand, sat opposite Lin Huiru and looked into the distance from the window, "Don't worry about this matter, this kind of thing depends on personal ability, since you can receive solicitation from all over the place, presumably your husband should indeed have some talent." ”

"He is indeed a man of both virtue and ability, but he can't bear to not have so many sinister and cunning tricks. Think about it, if he really enters the officialdom, he may have to suffer a lot of losses. Lin Huiru helped Qi Zhengxi pour a cup of tea, shook his head and sighed.

"Men either make a career or earn money to support their families, otherwise wouldn't they be no different from waste? Think that your husband already has one more way than others, be relieved. Qi Zhengxi raised his glass and took a sip of tea, and looked down from the window, just in time to see where the examination room was.

Of course, what she said was not wrong, Lin Huiru pursed her lips and smiled, only feeling that she was too worried about Xu Ziqiao, "Thank you Shizi for mentioning it." ”

"It's okay, but sometimes it's not necessarily a good thing to get in. If the strong person can still climb up, and the person who does not know how to be flexible will die sooner or later. Sometimes it seems that human life is a kind of suffering. Qi Zhengxi said with emotion.
