April 21, the temple examination.

Gao Wenlin calmly followed the Gongshi in front of him into the Baohe Palace, and for some reason, he always felt that someone was looking at him. He didn't dare to look around, his heart was abrupt, and in the words of his eldest daughter, he said: Did I come in through the back door?

The palace examination is only one day, and the papers are handed in at dusk, and they are accepted by the officials, such as the rolls, the palm scrolls, and the seals. On the day of grading, eight officials will be handed over to read the papers, each with a table, and they will be circulated in turn.

Some will try to not play well, but you can still work hard in the palace test.

All the tributes buried themselves in answering the questions, the emperor saw Gao Wenlin, pursed his lips slightly, and thought: I thought it would be a personable middle-aged man, but I didn't expect it to be a dry little old man, look at him like that, what can the girl look like? However, Pingwu is looking for a daughter-in-law, and he is not here for looks.

The people in the hall didn't show their expressions, and noticed that the emperor looked at the tribute with drooping eyebrows several times, and they all thought to themselves, and they all thought to themselves, and then go back and find a way to find out who it was.

The four people in the Ministry of Rites have already checked Gao Wenlin to the bottom, but they don't know where he came from, but after Gao Wenlin entered Beijing, he was received by the youngest son of Princess Pingwu, and called the master, the four of them knew it in their hearts, no wonder the emperor didn't let them take care of this matter anymore, and it was a matter of other people's families in the future, and they couldn't control it.

After the palace test, Gao Wenlin lived in a house prepared by his apprentice and waited for the results, this time he didn't let his uncle come to Beijing with him, he only brought Steward Liu alone.

After filling in the results of the palace examination, the emperor held a ceremony in the Taihe Hall to announce the results of the palace examination. The Jinshi scientific examiner will select the top ten books to submit to the emperor, and the first, second, and third places in the first class of the imperial approval are the champions, the eyes of the list, and the flowers. The Ming Jing subject is directly ranked by the examiner.

The emperor looked at Gao Wenlin many times, and everyone noticed it, and they also noticed the disdain on the emperor's face, so Gao Wenlin's ranking was still sixty-eight, and it remained the same, and no one judged it good or bad.

One of the examiners felt a pity in his heart, this Gao Wenlin's exam paper could be ranked in the top twenty.

Then it's time to go home, and there's a notification of what's next.

Gao Wenlin is very satisfied, it is enough to win the Jinshi in this life!

He went home happily, and the people of his son-in-law's family sent him back to Wucheng County.

Wu Juma learned that the ranking of the high master book was still sixty-eight, thinking that it was a coincidence, and smiled and told Princess Pingwu that this number was auspicious.

Then, Wu Yuma is ready to find someone to talk to, who is he looking for? Li Haizhe.

Li Haizhe naturally didn't have anything to say, but he didn't say anything about what position, Wu Juma nodded to the position of the head of Shuntian Mansion that he knew in advance and said a few words, and Li Haizhe nodded to show that he understood.

When Gao Wenlin returned home, Gao Zhao brought his younger brothers and sisters to give his father a warm welcome.

He touched his youngest son's head, feeling and agitated in his heart, it's not easy, it's not easy for himself, it's not easy for his family, but he can have this prosperous day, satisfied!

By the way, I still have to kowtow to my father, Gao Wenlin went to the front yard.

knelt down and kowtowed, thanked his father for his teaching, and then personally poured tea for his father, talked about the situation of participating in the palace examination, and said that his in-laws Wu Yuma hinted that he would be transferred to the capital.

Gao Chengji just raised his eyes to look at his son, Gao Wenlin saw his father's face soft, and listened to his father's words: "I will stay in the old mansion." ”

Gao Wenlin knelt down, tears flowing, "Dad, you stay in the old mansion alone, how can your son rest assured?" The most difficult time has passed, how can my son leave his father alone? If the father is not going, the son will continue to stay in Wucheng County, so that the family will be together. ”

Gao Chengji looked at his crying and verbose son, and a little grandson appeared in front of him, with the same appearance as his son, he was also verbose, but his grandson's wordy heartwarming, and his son's wordy and annoying!

Thinking about moving to Beijing, I had to toss again, and I was impulsive, even if I wanted to stay in the old house, it would be a matter of the future.

"I mean, in the future, when my father can't walk, let your eldest sister accompany my father back to the old house."

Gao Wenlin: ......, how many years after you talk about it now, I will cry for a long time.

"More on that later."

Gao Wenlin got up and felt that the tears and snot on his face were not good-looking, so he said goodbye and went back to the inner courtyard to wash his face and change clothes.

The family looked at him like that, without making a fuss, Gao Zhao must have hugged his grandfather and cried, of course, it was his father who cried, and his grandfather's face was calm.

Gao Cui hadn't calmed down from the excitement yet, and asked, "Wenlin, do you want to have a treat?" Inform the second room, you are now a jinshi, Wencai or lifting, and then make your aunt proud? This time she was! ”

Gao Wenlin changed his clothes and came out of the back room, Gao Zhao brought tea to his father, Gao Wenlin took a sip and drank it, just now his father cried and didn't drink a sip of water.

"What are you doing informing the second room? Even if you have a treat, you won't notify the second room, and if you have to contact it in the future, you will have less contact with the second room, and there will be more things in the past two months, and there will be more places to spend money, so I don't plan to treat you. ”

The eyes of the whole family were staring at Gao Wenlin, Gao Zhao went to pour another glass of water, and Xingrong took it and handed it to his father.

"Maybe, probably, probably, estimated, maybe I'll be transferred to the capital next month."

Gao Wenlin learned that her daughter sometimes deliberately spoke so deliberately Gao Cui is brother paused, she nodded her head a total of five times, and finally glanced left at her younger siblings and then at her eldest niece, and then went back to look at her brother.

"Dad, really?" Gao Zhao cheered.

"Eight or nine is not far from ten! I just don't know what to do. ”

Gao Cui stammered when he spoke: "Wenlin, Ken...... It must be the department that Zhao'er said will settle accounts, now it's okay, is it all about moving to Beijing? Where to stay? ”

Gao Zhao: Yes, I thought I would go to Beijing, but I didn't think about where to live? Every inch of land in Beijing is expensive, and the house bought in Wucheng County was spent all the family's savings, and in the end it was bought by my grandfather. Oh? Could it be that grandfather really had a cornucopia in his hand? It's like magic, and you need to take it out?

"I thought about it, first rent a house, pay a year's rent and still have it on hand, and then rent a small shop, the Feng family's fruit wine is good, then I want to get a wine lead, let's sell fruit wine, make a difference, there are many people in Beijing, so I can earn a family expense, and the rest go to Beijing and then find a way."

Gao Zhao was shocked, she used to rack her brains many times to make some money for the family, her father looked like a tall man, how could he change so much now? No, you have to ask.

"Dad, since you can sell fruit wine, why didn't you sell it in the county before? Our family can also make some money. ”

Gao Wenlin knew that you would say this, and he explained: "Although fruit wine is not a strong wine, it is not easy to get the wine, I can give myself a copy in the county before, but how many people are staring?" Your uncle of the Feng family never opened his mouth to me, that is to understand my difficulties. But when I went to Beijing, there were more people doing business, and I was also looking for apprentices to help, and then let Steward Liu's husband and wife run it, and the goods would be provided by the Feng family. ”

Gao Zhao nodded, his father was careful and thoughtful.
