After the first month, in addition to filial piety, the second room was still closed, hoping that Ning Shaobi would prepare a clean reading environment.

However, the third day of the second month of February is the day when the twins turn one year old, and Ning Shaobi, who has been eating and living in the study for several months, made an exception to discuss with Zhuo Zhaojie about celebrating the celebration of her son's 'daughter', and Zhuo Zhaojie hated him: "It's only a few days left, why are you still 'bothering' about this?" Won't I arrange it? They're only so big, I don't think there's a big deal to do, just hug them to my grandmother and let them see it, and just make them some food. ”

Ning Shaobi said with a smile: "It's been six days, it's hard to turn things around?" I've snubbed you these days, and I only came back for a short time on your birthday two days ago, how can we be negligent now that our children are full of Zhou? ”

When Zhuo Zhaojie heard this, he glanced at him obliquely, and said with a smile: "Sure enough, the children are more important than me now." ”

"How is this possible?" Ning Shaobi realized that she had mentioned something that she shouldn't have mentioned, and hurriedly flattered, "If it weren't for you, where would we get these pearls in our palms?" I want to teach them to be filial to you in the future! ”

"They're just starting to learn to speak now, and what you're saying is just a deaf ear, what's the use?" Zhuo Zhaojie glanced at him, and was about to say again, it was also time for Ning to shake his life, but the eldest son Ning Yikuang came to relieve the siege, he staggered to his feet, walked two steps on the couch, and suddenly raised his head and shouted: "Mi Qin!" ”

Ning Shaobi and Zhuo Zhaojie were stunned for a moment, and after a few breaths, Zhuo Zhaojie was ecstatic and rushed over to hug him: "Good boy, what did you just say?" Shout again! ”

I didn't want Ning Yikuang to be tired of babbling in her arms, as if the vague "mother" before was just a mistake, Ning Shaobi said tentatively: "Or call father?" ”

However, Ning Yikuang seemed to think that it was enough to relieve his father, so he didn't pay attention to his parents' flattery and coaxing, and grabbed the bead string that fell from his mother's sideburns to play, and smiled happily - the husband and wife coaxed him for a long time and couldn't make this kid scream again, and he couldn't help but be disappointed - Ning Yihui, who didn't think that he would be sitting not far away 'touching' the nine rings, suddenly turned his head and shouted softly: "Mi Qi! ”

Her pronunciation was worse than that of her brother, but Ning Shaobi was like a treasure, hugged her into her arms, and coaxed her nervously and softly: "Hui Niang, call again!" ”

Ning Yihui was really well-behaved, and said without thinking: "Mi Qi! ”

"Good boy!" Ning Shaobi and Zhuo Zhaojie are overjoyed! Ning Shaobi said happily: "Call your father again?" ”

Ning Yihui tilted his head, thought for a moment, and then hesitated: "Coetzee? ”

"It's strange that people say that 'women' are intimate!" Ning Shaobi originally neglected his wife and children because of these days, and the 'daughter' who is only a week old today may not be obedient, he didn't think that Ning Yihui was so likable and cute, he was so happy that he could hardly help himself, he only felt that his heart was full of sweetness and almost overflowed, so happy that he hugged Ning Yihui in the house and turned around, thinking of the eldest son's "tricking", he couldn't help laughing and scolding, "This kid, if I snub him these days and refuse to ignore me, it's nothing, why even his mother only screams?" What a little thing without conscience! ”

Zhuo Zhaojie was also happy about the dexterity of the 'girl', but when he heard Ning Shaobi say that Ning Yikuang was distressed: "He is still young, where does he know anything?" It's just that I've been teaching them the words 'father' and 'mother' all the time, and I'm just memorizing them. ”

"I also said that I despised you when I saw the children, you see who has a son now and treats the husband as a thing?" Ning Shaobi took the opportunity to make fun of me, "Pity me, won't my status in this mansion in the future be inferior to these two little ones?" ”

Zhuo Zhaojie said: "I have never seen you as a father, and you actually got into a fight with your own son's 'daughter'." ”

Ning Shaobi said: "I'm taking precautions, let's talk about it first, depending on how many 'daughters' we have under our knees, pet is favored, and in the end it can't cross me." ”

Seeing that he was serious, Zhuo Zhaojie couldn't help but laugh and said, "Okay, seeing that you are pitiful, I promised you." ”

"The 'woman' of the prince is really wise!" Ning Shaobi pretended to feel the "color" of "excitement", "This son of the world was moved, and he swore that he would sell the 'wife' of the son of the world for the rest of his life!" ”

"Aren't you the one who was originally the 'wife' of this world?" Zhuo Zhaojie listened to it funny, flew obliquely and glanced over, and said coquettishly.

Ning Shaobi Zheng said: "The son of the world has indeed been taken up by the 'woman' of the son of the world for a long time, but now the heart is also grasped by the 'woman' of the son......"

"Phew! Where have they gone? The people around him covered their sleeves and laughed, and Zhuo Zhaojie couldn't help but blush and said.

The two flirted and scolded on the one hand, and teased the son and the 'girl' on the other, and saw that Chenguang was almost there, so they called someone to change the clothes of the twins and went to the mansion of the eldest princess of Jiyang to see the eldest princess.

After the blow of last year's big house, the eldest princess not only grew old quickly, but also the "spirit" spirit was not as good as before, originally Ning Shaobi passed the house on three or five days, and the eldest princess was looking forward to him almost every day, but since the eldest princess recovered, she saw her grandson and great-grandson once on three or five days, and often fell asleep in the middle of the way.

It's not that the eldest princess doesn't care about the second room, but the vitality is badly damaged, and the age is also long, although Xu Zhen went to the 'door' the next day to ask for a pulse, but there was no way to make the eldest princess get better all of a sudden, but she just opened a conditioning prescription to let the eldest princess recuperate and recover.

So these days, the Hou Mansion often only goes once or twice a month, for fear of tiring the eldest princess.

Today is the full week of the twins, Zhuo Zhaojie does not plan to make a big deal, and specially asked the eldest princess in advance, of course the eldest princess will not forget. In fact, according to the eldest princess, it is a pity that such a pair of baby great-grandchildren are not too old, but Zhuo Zhaojie took the matter of Ning Shaobi trying to come out and said that the eldest princess weighed the pros and cons, so she agreed.

On this day, the Marquis of Yongcheng took the first step, waited with the eldest princess, and saw the two great-grandsons who were specially wrapped in the garnet red ground Sihe Ruyi brocade brocade swaddling clothes, the mother and son were both overjoyed, and the eldest princess was even more dispassionate about her physical weakness, and she held the two great-grandsons on the couch for a while, and she had to appreciate things from the 'private' room.

The twins are still young now, and they won't be grateful, Zhuo Zhaojie thanked the eldest princess on behalf of the son's 'daughter', and after playing like this for a while, the old and young were 'exposed' and lacking, and Mama Chang suggested a banquet - although there was an endless stream of delicacies, but the Communist Party was so cold in the end.

But now, except for Ning Shaobi, everyone's minds are tied to the exam, and they don't care much. After watching a few dances and listening to a few tunes, the eldest princess felt sleepy, and Chang Mama hurriedly signaled to Zhuo Zhaojie, Zhuo Zhaojie understood what she meant, and secretly told Ning Shaobi, and ended the banquet hastily.

Although the full week of the twins is extremely low-key, even to the point of sloppiness. However, the palace did not forget that the emperor and the crown princess were rewarded, and even the king of Zhending County also gave generous gifts. As for the twins' outer family, the Zhuo family is no exception.

On the ninth day of the first month of February, Zhuo Zhaojie got up on the third watch, busy checking the things to bring to Ning Shaobi, and tirelessly told him to pay attention to his body in the examination room...... Like all the families of the fallen scholars on this day, they eagerly and apprehensively sent their husbands all the way into the field.

Compared to her worries, the eldest princess and the Marquis of Yongcheng didn't care much, firstly, they knew Ning Shaobi's talent, and secondly, these two elders wanted Ning Yaobi's hard-working attitude, and now the Ning family is not short of a jinshi to support the 'door' face, this time it is not successful, and there will be a next time. With Ning Shaobi's eleven-year-old qualifications, coupled with the identity of the eldest princess's beloved grandson and marquis's son, it is the eyes of those who do not enter the main exam, as long as the writing is not bad, no one dares to deliberately not take it. So even if this time it has been abandoned for too long and there is not enough study, it will always be on the list in the future, and with the Ning family's family situation, it doesn't matter if you wait a few years.

Three days later, Ning Shaobi came out of the examination room, although because of his identity, he was deliberately arranged in the best number, but after coming out, he also seemed to be 'handy' in the end. Zhuo Zhaojie personally picked him up outside, served ginseng tea, and let Ning Shaobi drink two glasses to recover some of his 'spirits', watching his wife busy himself in the carriage, Ning Yaobi was not honest, and had to be scolded a few times......

On the day when the apricot list was posted, Zhuo Zhaojie sent Ji Jiu to see it, and came back at noon to say goodbye, and said happily that Ning Shaobi was really on the list.

It's just about the same as Ning Shaobi's previous estimate, although he won the list, his ranking is not very high, and he is ranked outside the top 100. Da Liang will take the test, and each time he will take about three or five hundred people, this ranking is good if it is placed on ordinary people, and according to Ning Shaobi's reputation in the past two years, it is also very good - but according to his talent in the middle of the year, it is really low.

But the test was originally a big 'wave' to wash the sand, Ning Shaobi wasted his homework for several years, Zhuo Zhaojie was disappointed at first, but after thinking about it, he also felt that his husband was very powerful, and his heart 'flower' bloomed but praised him a lot.

Even after the Marquis of Yongcheng found out, he made an exception and praised Ning Shaobi a few words. This prince and the eldest princess have similar ideas, with the current family situation of the Ning family, Ning Shaobi is not the same if he does not take the road of the imperial examination? However, the temple test is the most orthodox in the end, as long as it can be passed.

As for the ranking, as the nephew and grandson of the emperor, Ning Shaobi is almost the same. Anyway, the emperor and queen will never treat him badly.

The Yongcheng Marquis Mansion rejoiced in this matter, but the Minping Marquis Mansion also spread good news - Zhuo Zhaocui, You Huan, Ren Shenzhi, Shen Dangu, Song Weiyi, and Bai Zijing are all on the list, and Song Weiyi, who once solved the Yuan for Moling, washed away the shame of being off the list due to illness and ranked first in the examination!

If the palace test doesn't change his ranking, this one will be the champion!

Shen Dangu and Ren Shenzhi followed, one third and one sixth. And Zhuo Zhaocui and the others are not as amazing and 'beautiful' as these three people, but they are only about the same as Ning Shaobi. The Minping Marquis Mansion produced six tributes at once, which was really eye-catching, and for a while, this declining Hou Mansion was in the limelight.

But Min Pinghou has been "recuperating" in Cuiwei Mountain for several years, and this time Zhuo Zhaocui is the Zhuo family among the people on the list.

Many of these people are on the list, and of course there should be good birthday celebrations among relatives.

With Ning Shaobi's identity, as long as he passes the examination, the saint will only nominate him during the temple examination, so he doesn't have to worry about failing the palace examination at all. So Zhuo Zhaojie also put her mind at ease, because Ning Shaobi wanted to concentrate on reading books, she hadn't returned to her parents' house for most of the year, and she was only in a hurry on the second day of the first month.

At this time, the results of the trial were obtained, and the brothers-in-law and cousins had gained something, so they wanted to go back to their parents' house and talk. mentioned it to Ning Shaobi, and Ning Shaobi directly accompanied her back to Zhuo's house.

Naturally, it was almost joyful to see each other.

The reason why it is said is that it is because You Chi has never been willing to 'show' his face, You Can quietly said to Zhuo Zhaojie: "After the fourth brother left the examination room, he talked about the topic with the fifth brother, and both of them said that they didn't have much hope. As a result, now the fifth brother has been selected, but the fourth brother has not been selected...... In the second half of the year, he was going to marry the little lady of the Meng family, but he was not in a good mood these days and refused to come out. ”

You Chi is the elder brother, and he ended up in the same department as his cousin, but his cousin You Huan won the list, but he fell to Sun Shan, and his marriage with Meng Miaorong was scheduled after the exam. Originally, if it was the title of the gold list, followed by the "hole" room and "flower" candle, it happened to be double happy at the "door". But this time the test failed, although the Meng family would not regret the marriage because of this, it was a disappointment. You Chi young man has a 'sex' heart, and it is no wonder that he hides and refuses to see people.

Zhuo Zhaojie said with concern: "Why should the fourth cousin be like this? The fourth cousin is also young now, and occasionally misses, so come back to the next subject, isn't it? Besides, this time my seventh brother didn't hit either. "Zhuo Zhirun is down for the second time, and he is still not on the list, I'm afraid that the third room is not very happy at the moment.

However, Zhuo Zhirun is not here now, Zhuo Zhaojie and his cousin are talking 'privately', so they don't have to worry about dragging this cousin out to say that his mouth will be passed out.

You Can sighed: "You know that because of Xuanlang's matter, there was a gap between the third room and the fourth room, and the relationship between the fourth cousin and the fifth cousin has been very dull in the past two years, and they are secretly more focused on schoolwork. Now the fifth cousin passed the exam in the first exam, but the fourth cousin ...... It was difficult to turn the corner for a while. My aunt and aunt's father enlightened themselves for a long time, but he said that he wanted to be quiet, and now he didn't bother him - originally my uncle meant to hold a big banquet to celebrate this time, but my aunt said that first, don't make your family Qilang and the fourth cousin sad, and secondly, I still asked the prince about this matter. ”

The prince she said was, of course, the Marquis of Minping.

Zhuo Zhaojie has been rich and noble since childhood, and he is not very interested in banquets, and a pair of sons and daughters under her knees have not been big enough for a long week, and now it doesn't matter if the brothers are on the list, they don't celebrate much, and said: "I think the fourth cousin will be able to think clearly in a few days, not to mention that he will go back to Moling to marry Meng Xiaoniang in a few days, and he will always feel better when he sees his beautiful and lovely wife." Speaking of this, he changed his words and said, "My cousin-in-law is famous in high school this time, and my cousin has a bright future in the future." ”

As soon as he said this, You Can suddenly couldn't stop the joy on his face: "I didn't expect my cousin to pass the exam in the first exam, it seems that I still underestimated my cousin's studies!" But immediately he thought, "I was about to tell you, what will happen after the palace test?" ”

"I've already told Jiurou." Zhuo Zhaojie comprehends the way of the gods.

You Can was relieved: "So I can rest assured - there is only one level left in front of me, and I will send one to the fourth sister in five days, but I hope everything goes well, and when they get on the boat, I can be regarded as bitter!" ”

——Before, Mrs. Zhang said that she would open the 'spring' and then leave, but when the 'spring' began, Bai Zihua's brother Bai Zijing was going to end, and the horizontal and vertical test and the list were all in February, and the weather in the north was cold, and the obvious 'spring' meaning was revealed in early March, and it was not delayed for a few days, so close relatives were of course waiting for news and bringing it back to the Bai family by the way.

The Lin family returned to Jiangnan, the others were fine, You Can still had a headache with Bai Zihua, so it was good not to have another 'wave' when you left.
