In the fifteenth year of Yongkang, on the eighth day of February, the first entrance examination will be held.

Among the people Lin Jiaruo knows, there are many who went to the exam this year.

In addition to her father, there are Xia Yuxuan, Gu Zhan, Gan Mingjue, Yao Shujing and so on.

It's a pity that Lin Zhizhi is missing.

I don't know if my father can pick up the champion that my big brother lost......

After sending Lin Shisheng to the Tribute Academy, Lin Jiaruo thought sadly.

Admission on the eighth day of junior high school, examination on the ninth day of junior high school, and departure on the tenth day of junior high school.

On the morning of the eleventh day of the first lunar month, Lin Jiaruo followed her mother to the outside of the Gongyuan, and before the car stopped, she heard someone shouting "come out" and "come out".

Lin Jiaruo looked at it, as soon as the gate of the Gongyuan was opened, there was a person in white clothes walking out of it, neatly dressed and handsome, not only did he not see the exhaustion after exhaustion, but even with a comfortable smile.

"Daddy, over here!" Lin Jiaruo shouted excitedly.

Lin Shisheng smiled deeply and was about to come over.

Halfway through, he suddenly stopped and turned around.

Lin Jiaruo looked over, happily got off the carriage, ran over together, and greeted the person who had just arrived: "Sister Pei is here to pick up the fifth son?" ”

The fifth son of the Pei family also participated in this examination, and when he came to send the exam two days ago, Lin Jiaruo had seen it.

The father and daughter of the Lin family chatted with Pei Jinyu for a few words, and then said goodbye and went home.

At the entrance of the alley not far away, a person angrily threw down the curtain of the car: "Go back to the palace!" ”

On February 12, the second session will be held.

On February 15, the third session will be held.

In the early morning of February 16, when Lin Jiaruo saw that her father was still the first to walk out of the tribute courtyard, she was convinced.

Let's just say that the champion is still her family!

After the examination, it is not yet time to relax, and after the examination is released, there is only half a month to take the palace examination, so after the candidates come out of the Gongyuan, they all go home to rest and continue to work hard.

There was still a tense and cold atmosphere in the capital.

There were no ups and downs in the battle on the front, but a holy decree was issued upwards to the west.

The Divine Decree has two directives:

First, he was promoted to the general of Hangzhou Prefecture and the lieutenant of Zhenwei Fei Chengfeng as the lieutenant, and temporarily led the three prefectures of Hangzhou, Jiangning and Shaoxing.

Second, Zhao Bingyi, the general of the Shenwu Battalion, was the marching marshal and commanded the three armies to fight.

The holy decree was not read in the capital, but the Wei family had their own connections in the army, and then they were brought by Gan Mingcong to talk to Lin Jiaruo.

Speaking of which, even Lin Jiaruo felt strange.

After Gan Mingcong took her to escape from home last time, her father and mother were angry, but a few days later, her mother relented and allowed Gan Mingcong to meet her under Yanzi's watchful eye - yes, the master was no longer trusted, and Yanzi was transferred back to her.

"Do you know what that means?" Gan Mingcong pretended to ask deeply.

Lin Jiaruo naturally shook his head and didn't know.

"Although Zhao Bingyi is from the Yan family, he has risen from the bottom; Xie Xuanhui was born in the Xie clan of Chen County and was a famous general; Similarly, Fei Chengfeng also climbed up from the bottom little by little, while Sima Chao was from the Wei family-" Gan Mingcong said this, raising his eyebrows and looking at Lin Jiaruo.

Lin Jiaruo lowered his eyebrows and thought about it, and said hesitantly: "This shows ...... The emperor likes to use people with no background? ”

Gan Mingcong clapped his hands fiercely: "Ah Ruo is too smart!" ”

The apprentice with high understanding always makes the master love it, and it is precisely because of this that Gan Mingcong is happy to share the news from the army with Lin Jiaruo.

Lin Jiaruo's face turned crimson when he was praised, and he said happily: "No matter what, they can finally fight well!" ”

Gan Mingcong said approvingly: "Yes, the front line is stable, my grandfather will be relieved, I will leave tomorrow-" He suddenly remembered, "By the way, I am here to say goodbye to you today, my grandfather said that it is very troublesome to send it here, we will leave quietly tomorrow!" ”

Lin Jiaruo asked in surprise: "Aren't you waiting for the list to be released?" ”

Gan Mingcong waved his hand and said: "Don't wait, I will try to release the list, and there is also the palace test, anyway, my eldest brother can be admitted, so why wait?" ”

Lin Jiaruo nodded and said, "Yes, I heard that after the palace exam, I still have to take the selection exam of the Hanlin Academy!" ”

Gan Mingcong said disdainfully: "My eldest brother is going to be the champion, and the champion will directly enter the Hanlin Academy, no need to take the test!" ”

Lin Jiaruo's eyes widened: "My father is the champion!" ”

On the first day of the first month of March, the apricot blossoms are in full bloom, and the list will be released.

As soon as the day dawned, he sent his family members to wait at the gate of the Gongyuan.

A basket of red envelopes was prepared at home, and when the good news came, they were to be distributed to the children, beggars and passers-by.

Lin Jiaruo thought about it carefully and grabbed one from a basket of red envelopes.

After thinking about it, I grabbed a few more, and turned them into a big red envelope, held them in the palm of my hand, and ran to the gate to wait.

The host's family was waiting in the house, and she seemed reserved, but she ran to the gate, and the subordinates guarding the door had to take a few steps back and make way for her.

Therefore, when the annunciator arrived, he saw a little girl wearing a big red butterfly opera jacket, with a pair of round and big eyes looking at him brightly, and he was stunned for a while.

But he was stunned for a while, the sound of gongs and drums sounded again, and he was about to raise his voice to shout, when the little girl jumped up and shouted in front of him in surprise: "Is it Huiyuan?" Did my dad get the first place in the exam? ”

The person who reported the good news was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "Hangzhou Mansion Lin Shisheng, he will try the first place in the ugly department, and he will be overjoyed!" ”

Lin Jiaruo cheered, jumped forward and snatched the good news from the man's hand, shouting, "Daddy has hit!" Daddy No. 1! "Running inside.

After running two steps, he suddenly stopped his feet, turned around, ran to the front of the annunciator with a smoke, stuffed a red envelope in his hand, and a pair of eyes were crooked like crescents: "Thank you!" ”

Then he ran in with a shout of good news, and threw himself into the arms of the handsome man who was happily coming out.

The annunciator shook his head with a smile, took the reward silver that the next person had prepared a long time ago, and checked the extra one given by the little girl, and left happily.

The first place in the test is indeed a great joy.

When it comes to the palace test, it will basically not be out of the top three, and no matter how bad it is, it will not be out of the top ten.

After a while, people came to the door one after another to say hello.

The family had already prepared and set up a few simple tables to entertain the guests.

Lin Shisheng rushed back to the study after the joy, preparing to go to the palace after half a month.

In the afternoon, I inquired about the news one after another, probably because of the relationship between people and groups, and almost all of the few people Lin Jiaruo knew were on the list.

Gan Mingjue ranked fourth, Gu Zhan ranked twelfth, and Yao Shujing ranked fifty-ninth.

The second Lin Jiaruo has also seen it a few times, it is the one named Song Bin, Xie Yuan of Henan Mansion.

The third place is not recognized.

The fifth place is Pei Wu of the Pei family.

The only one who fell off the list was Xia Yuxuan.

March 15, the temple examination.

March 17, the Passing Ceremony.

Early in the morning, after sending Lin Shisheng into the imperial city, Lin Jiaruo waited outside the noon gate.

I don't know how long I waited, the main gate of the noon gate was wide open, the yellow umbrella was leading, and the officials of the Ministry of Rites took the list with a cloud disk, and walked out, and the new branch jinshi followed closely according to the order of the name.

Lin Jiaruo saw Lin Shisheng at the forefront at a glance.
