The golden boy got the news that Li Yulin wanted to be the eldest princess, and out of his brother's concern for his sister, he went into the palace to ask for some details, but he was not as busy as Jing'er and Jiang Ji were when they got married.

A Li Yulin's talent and appearance can't be faulted, which can satisfy the emperor and the eldest princess, what else can he say, but it's not like Jing'er was going to marry a widower, he has a position to stop it.

Second, he is on Li Yulin's side, and he is not like when he first went to Jiang's house to sharpen his knife against Jiang Ji, if you dare to treat my sister badly, I will definitely do something. Li Yulin almost became his brother-in-law back then, but now he has a younger sister, and he still wants to be his brother-in-law, he has a little weakness towards Li Yulin in Jing'er's matter, and now he has lost his position, even if he feels that Li Yulin's motives are not pure, but he can't find a reason to dissuade the jade girl.

At the same time, the dining table of the Dejun Mansion was also talking about this, and when she heard that Li Yulin wanted to be the eldest princess, Sister Yu asked: "Didn't my brother say that Li Yulin had a period with Sister Jing'er?" Now he goes to Shangyu Nu? Does the Jade Maiden know this? ”

Yu Wenqin smiled: "If you know, how can the eldest princess agree, then the brother and sister will hide this matter to the death, the Jiang family doesn't know, the eldest princess doesn't know, you don't make a noise first, and then let the eldest princess and Jiang Ji know after they get married." ”

Who didn't have a hazy throbbing when he was young, this thing didn't work out, and there was no news, so it was over, that is, Jiang Ji knew later, and he could only drink a cup of old vinegar, and it was normal for young playmates to have some feelings when they grew up, and they were courteous, and later they got married, what else could he say. But now where is this to marry each other, Li Yulin wants to marry Jing'er's sister, the old relationship between this brother-in-law and sister-in-law is enough for people to drink a pot.

April 21 is the day of the palace test list, the red list paper is posted outside the Xuande Gate, the first place is Li Yulin's name, the second place is Hui Yuan Wan Yuanchun when the exam, the third place is Qiao Qingyun, he is also expected to do Tanhua, the first place in the second class is for Chuanlu, is Qiao Qingyun's classmate Lin Fangwei, that is a taciturn but solid young man, the emperor likes this kind of down-to-earth and calm young courtier, and he is also going to reuse, and the ranking is a long time after is an older Jinshi, It wasn't until the twenty-fifth place in the second class that he saw Lin Rui's name, which was originally considered a young man, but with Li Yulin and Qiao Qing Yunzhuyu in front, he could only be regarded as decent, and there was also a Zhou Xiuwen ninety-eighth place in the second class, which was cushioned for him.

The next day after the palace test list was sealed, the Qionglin banquet was sealed, and the horse was toured in the royal street, and the emperor also announced two holy decrees at the Qionglin banquet, both of which were marriage decrees: the champion Li Yulin Shang Jiahua Princess Yu Wenyuan, sealed the golden knife and horse, gave the royal front walk, and the marriage date was set in the spring of the next year; Tanhua Qiao Qingyun and the lord of Ningjia County, Prince Li's Mansion, concluded a good relationship, and then set the marriage date after Qiao Qingyun became filial piety.

This is also something that everyone in Beijing knows, everyone is not surprised, and they say hello to these two young people with a smile, but it is more lively when they play horses and parade in the streets, and the two happy events of the royal family, the people have a lot of talk after dinner.

Sister Ting stood in the private room of Tianxianglou, and saw Qiao Qingyun beating a horse downstairs, it was not enough for her to throw a few flowers down, she raised a big red scarf and floated out, estimating the time when Qiao Qingyun passed, letting it fall, and praying in her heart that it must fall on the head of the person who should fall.

Qiao Qingyun was playing a horse and walking, accepting the people along the way to throw fruits and flowers, suddenly a red cloud fell from the sky, and he was caught in the net, and then the whole street became a piece of red, and some people cheered along the way: "Tanhualang wears a red hijab!" ”

Qiao Qingyun smiled brighter than spring flowers, looked up at the source of the red veil falling, and sure enough, he saw that the girl who was married to him had a bright smile and bright eyes, looking at him and beckoning, he smiled so much that his eyebrows were bent, and a thin layer of red yarn could not separate the two from coming and going.

Sister Ting's whole heart floated to the clouds, Su Ri knew that Qiao Qing Yunsheng was clear and handsome, today the white horse and red clothes and the black yarn were even more colorful, and she put on the red veil she covered herself, and the moment she looked up at her, the sunlight reflected the most gorgeous color in his eyes that were clearer than glass, which was the most beautiful pair of eyes she had ever seen in her life.

Such a beautiful person is hers, how can she thank her father and mother, thank the emperor, thank God, thank the old moon, thank everyone, she doesn't like to read poetry in her life, and she can't find a word to express her mood at the moment, she only knows that there is this person in this life, which is enough.

Qiao Qingyun carefully folded this piece of red yarn and put it on her chest, and later when she unveiled her hijab on the wedding night, the husband and wife talked about their acquaintances, and Mrs. Qiao was blessed again, so she pestered her husband to wear a hijab again to show her, this time she was going to reveal it herself.

After the Qionglin banquet, the way out for the new scholars was also set, like Li Yulin and Qiao Qingyun, who want to be reused, naturally have to be placed in the Hanlin Academy to accumulate a few years of qualifications, and then let the practice of outsiders to learn the truth, and those who are not very good in the ranking, and have little help at home will not have a chance to gain a foothold in the Hanlin Academy, and it is their destination to be a small magistrate in the poor countryside.

Zhou Xiuwen didn't do well in the exam, and hung on the tail of the second class, of course, with his grandfather and princess sister, he begged the emperor for a favor, and let him stay in the Hanlin Academy for a few years, after all, if it wasn't for Hanlin, he wouldn't be in the cabinet.

This time, Uncle Zhou suddenly became stiff, "I don't want to go to the Hanlin Academy, I'm not young, the gentlemen of the Hanlin Academy are all grandfathers, protégés, fathers, and friends, what can I experience when I go there, living under the wings of my family, I will never grow up, it is better to let me go to the outside office, and I can only grow up after doing things." ”

That's what he said, but he, an eldest young master who has been studying for 20 years, went to the local government to be an official, does he know how to do it? Does he know what the politics of people's livelihood is, and does he know the inner ways of the tax collectors?

Zhou Xiuwen said honestly: "I don't know, but who is born to be an official, I will stay in the Hanlin Academy for another three years, but I will study in another place, I always want to enter the officialdom, hurry up and not late, beg my grandfather to give me two experienced and vicious staff masters, let me take them to office." ”

The eldest lord still disagreed: "If you are not Hanlin, you will not enter the cabinet, you have not entered the Hanlin Academy, and if you die in the future, you will be a feudal official, and you will not be able to enter this central court." ”

The eldest lady also said: "Your family affairs have not yet been decided, the girl of the Sun family has been waiting for you for many years, are you going to delay others?" It's better to stay in Hanlin Academy, and when you become a relative, you just drag your family to take office. ”

The girl of the Sun family is a playmate who grew up with Zhou Xiuwen's childhood sweetheart, the two parents are literati, and the friendship is also good, Zhou Xiuwen said that he did not dare to start a family before he established a career, and he has been filial piety in recent years, and he has been delayed until now, he is a little ashamed of the girl of the Sun family, he is not as amazing and brilliant as Li Yulin, and he is wronged to marry him.

"Parents are in charge of family affairs, and I will come back to visit the church on a set day, if it is the sister of the Sun family, I apologize to her on my behalf. As for what my father said that non-Hanlin would not be included in the cabinet, wasn't Lord Zeng an exception? I don't dare to compare with him, thinking that with my qualifications, it is difficult to make achievements if I enter the cabinet with the shade of my family, so it is better to do something for the local people honestly. ”

He has made up his mind, this time he wants to leave home and make some achievements, he hopes that after leaving Beijing, people will mention that he is a young and promising Zhou, not the grandson of Taifu and the younger brother of the princess.
