The atmosphere in the Jinluan Hall was solemn, only the sound of the candidates' pens and papers rubbing their answers, even the invigilators did not dare to walk again, and only the emperor dared to sit on the upper seat and whisper.

The people below could only hear him muttering, they couldn't hear what he was talking about, and they didn't dare to look up, but there was such an anomaly, frequently looking up at the upper seat, and looking directly at the emperor, as if he had something to say.

The emperor was a little uncomfortable with him, and asked Wan Fugui, "Who is that kid, what has he been watching me do?" ”

Wan Fugui's old eyes still didn't see who His Majesty was talking about, so he had to ask carefully what was the first row, and the emperor said that it was the sixth in the fourth row, so he went down to look for it, and saw this person's head clearly, which turned out to be the son of the Shangshu family of the Ministry of Officials.

Wan Fugui returned to the emperor's side, saying that he was the son of the Lin family, and when he was a child, he was still studying with the prince in the study, Your Majesty, you have also seen it, and the emperor knew it, it turned out to be that kid, who has been slippery since he was a child, and he is still like this when he is older.

The palace examination is divided into two rounds, a round of written examination and a round of interview, after the candidates collect the papers, they are taken by the inner court attendants to the Fuhua Hall and Zhaoming Building for lunch, take a break after the meal, and then go to the Jinluan Hall in the middle of the afternoon to participate in the interview, and each person is seated in the order of the written examination in the morning.

Eight shares of light poetry and heavy scriptures, the emperor's main question is also a subset of the history of agriculture and business, a few older tribute students answered very well, look at the practical school, is the talent needed by the imperial court, what makes him look at a few young people is also very good, such as the young and bright Li Yulin, when he used to study in the study, the emperor also read the child's article, at that time he felt that the young age was too utilitarian, not as good as Lin Rui's free and wanton, as the elder to the younger generation's view, Naturally, the lively and cheerful child is more likable, but as the monarch's assessment of his courtiers, Li Yulin is much stronger than Lin Rui.

The emperor also took the exam for Lin Rui, and he answered the scriptures in a decent manner, but then the emperor asked him: "Why do you frequently watch me during the written exam in the morning?" ”

I thought that this kid was going to flatter a few words, say something like being overjoyed to see Tianyan, but he said bluntly: "Your Majesty, you have been talking from above, arguing for me to answer the questionnaire." ”

The emperor did not speak for a long time, and finally waved his hand to sit down, and never mentioned him again.

Li Yulin frowned secretly, what is this kid doing, he has made His Majesty unhappy, and he will be ranked lower.

There are still two princesses in the palace who have not decided on their family affairs, and the emperor has also taken care of a few more young people, so Qiao Qingyun has been famous for a long time, and the emperor naturally ordered him to answer the question, but as a result, they are both young talents, Li Yulin is suitable for being an official, and Qiao Qingyun is suitable for poetry.

Jing'er and her three sisters sat behind the curtain of the main hall to observe the situation in the palace, Jing'er has already made a marriage, this time mainly to accompany the two sisters to see each other, listening to Lin Rui said that when the emperor quarreled with him to answer the questionnaire, the three sisters couldn't help laughing, this person was bold, making it difficult for the emperor to step down.

After the palace test, all the tribute students went back to their homes, and the palace gate was crowded like the gate of the tribute courtyard that day, and everyone had a family to respond. Lin Rui's brother came to pick him up, and on the way his brother asked him if he was doing well, and he said that everything was fine, but after returning home, he said that he was tired today, closed the door and went to sleep, and he didn't even come out to eat dinner.

Lin Shangshu went home after leaving his post, and as soon as he entered the house, he asked where the descendants of Buxiao were with a tiger face, and everyone didn't understand who he was talking about, so they asked cautiously, and let the old man poke his head and scold, "Who else can there be!" Your good son! Where are the people, where are they hiding? ”

Master Lin's three sons, the eldest son is with him, and the second son has just finished the palace exam today, so he must be a mischievous young son who is causing trouble.

"Lin Heng! What are you doing again! ”

The little seventh master of the Lin family was frightened by his father's roar, thinking about what bad things he had done recently, could it be that he was teasing the crickets in the school and was known by his grandfather? Or was he copied his classmate's homework and was sued by his grandfather? No, if you want to sue your father, how can you sue your grandfather?

Lin Shangshu snorted heavily: "It's not him!" Lin Rui! ”

At this time, what the old man is looking for is Lin Rui, who came back from the palace exam today, and the eldest lady was worried about whether her son was tired from the exam, and she also asked the kitchen to make tonic soup for him as a supper.

"Isn't Ari just coming back from the exam? If you're in the palace all day, what can you do? ”

The old lady loves this grandson more, she has been smart and sweet-mouthed since she was a child, and she is well-behaved and sensible, and she never lets the family worry about it, the old man should not be so atmospheric!

Lin Shangshu stared at the tiger, a smiling tiger in Su Ri, and this time he rarely became a black-faced eagle: "He just caused trouble in the palace!" I don't know what is dead or alive, I don't care about my own future, don't drag down my family! Drag him out, and I'm going to interrogate him!" ”

Lin Shangshu has three sons and one daughter, all of whom were born to the wife of the main room, and the scholarly family does not advocate concubines, with three sons-in-law, what do he want to do, but the youngest son of the three sons is the smartest, but he has no intention of career, married the sick and weak only daughter of the teacher's family, and has no children under his knees, and the other two rooms have several sons, the eldest grandson of the big house is calm and down-to-earth, Lin Shangshu is also satisfied, but the second grandson is more intelligent and smart, and the family has allocated him a lot of resources, and he was sent to study in the study since he was a child, and went to school with the prince and grandson, and he ...... Is he worthy of the cultivation at home?

Lin Rui did feel a little weak after going home, hiding in the house and trembling for a while, but he was really tired today, lying on the bed and thinking about things and really fell asleep, when the family broke into the door, he was still asleep and was startled by a carp, seeing his father's gloomy face, his eyes unconsciously drifted around, but he didn't dare to look at people.

Master Lin took his second son to the main courtyard, and when he saw his grandfather's black face, Lin Rui was even more afraid, and subconsciously wanted to lean on the third uncle, in this family, the third uncle and the third aunt loved him the most.

"Where else do you want to go! On your knees! ”

Lin Shangshu scolded angrily, and Lin Rui immediately softened his knees, how could the majesty of the old man be committed by these juniors.

"Do you know you're scared now? Didn't you say crazy words on the top of the Golden Palace today, so that everyone knew that my Lin family had a brave man who was not afraid of dragon might. ”

The invigilator of the Ministry of Rites smirked in front of him, saying that your Fuerlang is really not a vulgar son, the young phoenix is clear in the old phoenix, and Lin Shangshu has a successor.

No matter how you look at it, the other party didn't really congratulate him, and he asked the invigilator of the Hanlin Academy again, only to know that this rebel's masterpiece.

Lin Rui was hesitant, saying that he was quick to talk at the time, and he couldn't talk with his brain, and he was not afraid of the emperor like other candidates, he had been studying in the study since he was a child, and he had seen the emperor many times, and he only regarded him as the father of his classmates and friends, and he was like a world-class uncle, and he was not so restrained.

He said this very well, but why didn't he know how to add it when he was in the palace, what is the use of telling his family at this time, the emperor can't hear it!
