In the blink of an eye, it was the day of the release of the list in the spring, and those who had children in each prefecture took the exam ordered people to wait outside the gate of the house for the news of the list.

If you win, someone will ride a tall horse to announce the good news!

Su Heng even prepared the red envelope and the banquet, just waiting for the person to inform the news, he waited nervously.

The same is true of the people in the house.

Seeing that he was too anxious, some people comforted, "Master don't worry, what kind of person is our young master, he must be able to pass the test if he has his own heavenly appearance." What's more, there is still the queen mother, even if you can't pass the exam, it doesn't matter! ”

"Phew, what can't you pass the test?"

The first sentence is very good, and the latter sentence is a taboo, saying that you can't pass the test?

Su Heng found out after "phew" that he said it himself, and quickly took a few more sips, "Bah, bah, I'm talking nonsense too." Ming'er will definitely be admitted, and our ancestors bless us that Ming'er will definitely be admitted! ”

Horses' hooves trampled from the corner of the street.

Su Heng's heart suddenly rose to his throat, and he quickly ran outside the gate of the mansion to look, and saw four or five messengers riding high-headed horses, immediately tied with red silk, and holding a letter and newspaper in their hands!

"Uncle Guo is overjoyed, Uncle Guo is overjoyed!"

Hit!

Su Heng immediately greeted his subordinates, "Hurry, hurry up!" ”

All of a sudden, the four neighbors gathered in front of the mansion to look, only to see those few errand servants dismounting, and seeing Su Heng was very polite, "The master is very happy, the uncle of the country has been hit, and he has won the twenty-seventh jinshi!" ”

"Twenty-seven?!"

Su Heng was overjoyed, "This ranking is good, this ranking is good!" ”

Twenty-seven is considered to be a high ranking among the jinshi, Su Zhiming has been staying in the study, but at this time he was also alarmed by the movement outside, and the people in the house came out again and again.

The officers were even more shocked to see him in person, and they were busy saying hello.

The neighbors watching outside the door all said their joy, Su Heng was happy in his heart, and hurriedly instructed his subordinates, "Quickly, distribute the prepared red eggs and rice noodles to the neighbors, everyone is happy!" ”

As he spoke, he personally stuffed a thick red envelope into the hands of those errand officers, "You have to work for all the officials, if you have worked, please have a banquet inside!" ”

When those errand officers saw the abundance of red envelopes, they became more and more happy, but they didn't dare to take it seriously.

In the end, it was the people in the palace who surrounded them and invited them in to eat.

Su Heng and Su Zhiming, father and son, were very happy, and read the letter with his rank written on it over and over again, and only after confirming that it was correct, did they dare to rejoice.

"I really won it, and I lived up to the expectations of the queen!"

Su Zhiming said: "Father, send someone into the palace to tell the queen mother, the queen mother must be very happy to hear it!" ”

Where do you need them to send people into the palace?

Su Youyi's news was faster than them, "Shuya, let Duofu send the congratulatory gifts prepared by the palace in advance." ”

"Yes."

Shuya said with a smile: "The young master finally lived up to the expectations of the mother, this ranking is not low." In this way, the next time the palace exam, you will definitely be able to have a good ranking! ”

The examination is judged by the chief examiner and several deputy examiners, and all the candidates' names are obscured, so it is impossible to see who is who.

Su Zhiming's ranking is well deserved.

And the palace test is the emperor's sacred heart alone. Cut, Su Youyi felt that the emperor intended to promote the Su family, and wanted Su Zhiming to get a not low ranking.

She shook her head, "Not necessarily, I may not be able to understand the emperor's thoughts, so send things out quickly!" ”

……

When the Su Mansion was putting out the lights and setting off firecrackers, the door was surrounded by people from Daoxi.

I saw a column of palace people coming in the distance, all holding bright yellow gifts in their hands, and at a glance, they knew that they were rewarded by the palace.

Someone hurriedly went to tell Su Heng that Su Heng and Su Zhiming, father and son, hurriedly came out to greet him.

What a blessing!

"The queen mother has a reward!"

As soon as they sang, Su Heng and Su Zhiming hurriedly knelt down to greet them, and the onlookers also knelt down, and those errand servants who were eating in the inner hall also ran out and knelt respectfully.

"The queen mother appreciates a set of four treasures in the study, a pair of gold-inlaid jade three-legged incense tripods, eight jade ornaments, a pearl, and a string of agate Buddha beads......"

The same strange treasure that was read to the name was sent to the house, and everyone was very curious, and they wanted to take a look.

Take out any good thing in the palace, they are all treasures that ordinary people can't think of, and everyone naturally wants to see it.

It wasn't until the things that were rewarded were read and the things flowed into the Su Mansion that Su Zhiming's father and son knelt down and thanked, "The grass people thank the queen Longen." ”

Everyone got up, and Duofu stepped forward to personally support Su Heng, "Uncle, the young master has now been selected as a jinshi, and it is time to call himself a minister." When he enters the palace to thank him, don't be mistaken! ”

Su Heng nodded again and again, "Yes, yes, Father-in-law Fu reminded me correctly!" Today is a festive day, if Father-in-law Fu is willing to appreciate his face, he will go in and have a drink? ”

Duofu smiled: "Uncle please, the slave doesn't dare to give it." ”

said that they entered the inner hall politely with each other, and let everyone continue to eat the banquet, and set off firecrackers on the ground, and there was a lively scene in the house......

……

"That Su Zhiming was hit?"

"yes."

In the song and dance of Ji Fuying, Ji Yushen took advantage of the unpreparedness and returned to his former demeanor.

The henchman in front of him said, "Yes, my lord." His subordinates found someone to read his case file, and it is said that this person does have some talent, but he didn't go through the back door to borrow the power of the queen's mother. ”

"I will try, and naturally I can't borrow the power of the queen."

Ji Yushen smiled faintly, "The queen is an open-minded person and disdains this kind of means. Even if the examiner Su Qing had a close relationship with her, she would not let Su Qing treat Su Zhiming very well. It's just a temple test...... It's different. ”

The palace test is the emperor's sacred heart alone. Rankings of cuts.

"What do you mean, my lord, that the emperor intends to promote this Su Zhiming, and the ranking of the palace examination will rank him extremely high?"

Ji Yushen shook his head.

"It's not good if it's too high, but if it's too high, it will cause people to be jealous, and it may not be peaceful for long in the court."

Ji Yushen smiled, "You have seen the first and auxiliary prime ministers throughout the ages, which one is from the top of the ranks?" ”

The subordinates don't understand, since Ji Yushen said so, it should be.

Ji Yu thought of Su Zhiming, he had seen this child back then, Su Youyi's cousin, and he had also studied in the school.

He was impressed, but not deep.

He suddenly became playful, "Well, let's make a bet." Believe it or not, the emperor will definitely ...... him The point is at the position of the flower. ”

Just like he used to be, Tanhua.

……

On the day of the palace examination, the emperor summoned Su Zhiming in advance.

Su Zhiming is the queen's cousin, a dignified uncle, and it is natural for the emperor to want to see his brother-in-law.

No one will disagree.

This is also the first time that the emperor summoned Su Zhiming, and when he saw that this young man was indeed a modest and cautious person as rumored, he was naturally satisfied.

Su Zhiming saw the emperor for the first time, but he felt a little nervous.

I often hear people say that the emperor is the most majestic and upright king, meticulous, and he doesn't like to laugh on weekdays.

The emperor was worried that he was afraid, so he asked Su Youyi, who was already out of confinement, to accompany him.

"You seem to be afraid of me?"

The emperor's Qianqing Palace has always rarely prepared any exquisite dim sum, because the people who come and go here are often ministers, all of whom discuss important matters, and do not care about dim sum.

The emperor specially asked people to prepare some today, and at first glance, they were specially prepared for Su Zhiming.

Su Zhiming was a little restrained, "The Son of Heaven is long-faced, and Weichen is indeed a little in awe." ”

The emperor smiled good-naturedly, "I am not only the Son of Heaven, but also your cousin-in-law. In private, everyone is a family, so you don't have to be so polite in the future. ”

Su Zhiming raised his head when he heard the words and looked at Su Youyi.

Su Youyi gave him an affirmative look, "Look at how good the emperor is to you, you are still afraid of being like this." I can't eat such a good snack when I come to the Qianqing Palace on weekdays, and the emperor is willing to prepare it for you, so don't be restrained. ”

Su Zhiming relaxed when he heard this, "Thank you, Your Majesty...... Cousin-in-law. ”

He was a little shy, and he thought that he couldn't live up to the emperor's kindness, so he picked up the snack and ate it.

Seeing that his simple appearance was interesting, Su Youyi couldn't help laughing.

The emperor also laughed.
