Half a month after the end of the Spring Festival, the Gongyuan posted the emperor's list, Ji Nuan took the fifth brother to hide in the space to look at the rankings, and a layer of sweat broke out on Ji Lianxi's nervous palms and forehead.

"Fifth brother, with you, you got a fifth place in the exam, which is the same as your ranking in our family." Ji Nuan didn't expect the fifth brother to achieve a good result of fifth, so he took his hand and jumped up.

"Nuan Nuan, you didn't lie to me!" Ji Lianxi didn't dare to look at the emperor's list, he was afraid of losing his name to Sun Shan, he estimated in his heart that even if he was admitted to the Jinshi, it would be good to enter the top twenty, but he didn't expect to get fifth. Although the current ranking is not counted, there is still a final round of palace examinations, and after the emperor has appointed the top three, he will select some fellow scholars to enter the Hanlin Academy to do editing or release the spring to be regarded as the real end.

Ji Nuan pushed the fifth brother in front of the screen and asked him to see his name, Ji Lianxi confirmed that he was not dreaming and picked up the nearest finch and turned around several times.

"Dizzy, put down Uncle Ben...... This divine beast, otherwise I would breathe fire! ”

"Xiaoque, my fifth brother is happy, just let him hug it, let's go, let's go home and report the good news!" Ji Nuan manipulated the space and went home.

Send the fifth brother out of the space, let him tell his father and other brothers the good news in person, and before she could go out, Ji Nuan asked Mo Huaiyu what was the matter.

"Are the family satisfied with the fifth brother's grades? I'm going to invite you to dinner tonight and celebrate together. ”

"How did you know my fifth brother's exam results so quickly, these things shouldn't have been arranged by you!"

Mo Huaiyu swore that these things were really not arranged by him: "If I have the final say, I will definitely write the name of the fifth brother in the first place, rather than mentioning the kind of person like Shen Wang, it is better to use my own people to do things with peace of mind." ”

"You are not allowed to use your right to help my fifth brother in the palace test, no, I have to watch you, when will the palace test be held!"

I wish she would go into the palace to accompany her more, Mo Huaiyu told her that the palace test would be held in three days, and he would definitely use the fairest way to select the top three.

At this moment, cheers were already ringing in the courtyard of the Ji family, and Gu Shuzhen called the housekeeper and servants, asking them to follow and bring back the family members in the workshop and the shop, and everyone celebrated together.

"Mother, Mo Huaiyu wants to invite everyone to dinner, I agreed, you don't have to think too much, just treat it as an ordinary party."

"Nuan Nuan, you must not find the emperor because of your fifth brother's affairs, we can't give the emperor problems and trouble, no matter what the result of the palace test is, we must accept it, especially you, don't lose your temper with the emperor because of this matter!"

Are you that kind of person? Ji Nuan promised his mother and family that he would not make requests to the emperor.

In the evening, Ji Nuan took his family and Lin Guifang, who entered the space for the first time, to the palace together, and sent the family to Nuanqing Palace first, and Ji Nuan went to find Mo Huaiyu alone.

"The day after tomorrow, Shen Wang will also participate in the palace examination, you can come over too!"

Even if Mo Huaiyu didn't invite himself to observe the scene, Ji Nuan would come over: "Okay." "It's one thing to come and see the fifth brother, looking at that Shen Wang, it's best to figure out the purpose of his coming to the capital, and find a way to deal with it.

During the meal, Mo Huaiyu also told Ji Lianxi not to be nervous, the palace test was not so terrible, at most he asked some opinions about people's livelihood and the imperial court.

Ji Lianxi got up and saluted: "Thank you for the emperor's order, I will definitely behave well." ”

On the third day, Ji Nuan got up early, Ji Lianxi also got up, and the brother and sister chatted and walked to the dining room: "Wow, the sun is out in the west today, and the breakfast is so rich." "There are five or six kinds of pasta alone, three kinds of porridge, and more than a dozen side dishes.

"Today is the day when Lian Xi entered the palace to participate in the palace examination. Of course, be grand, eat quickly! "The family's food, clothing, housing and transportation are now under the management of Lu Yunya, Gu Shuzhen sees that her grandson is either going to the store and going around, and she doesn't care about idle things.

"I've eaten well, fifth brother, don't be in a hurry to eat slowly." A bun and a bowl of porridge are in the stomach, and Ji Nuan is already full.

This time, the brother and sister left in a carriage, and when they arrived at the gate of the palace, Ji Lianxi and the others who participated in the palace examination waited for the summons, and Ji Nuan took advantage of the space to cover and enter the palace.

"I saw that Shen Wang, who looked confident, and I forgot to let the fifth brother stay away from him." Ji Nuan said when he saw Mo Huaiyu.

"Is that Shen Wang more handsome than me?"

Ji Nuan replied: "Not as good-looking as you, he belongs to the kind of weak scholar, you are full of manhood, and someone will not do anything to exchange ten Shen Wang with me." ”

"You can't do a hundred, you know?"

"Okay!" Ji Nuan stayed by Mo Huaiyu's side, watching him summon those candidates, and come up with questions on the spot, and let those people write articles.

Ji Nuan ran over to read the fifth brother's article, and then looked at Shen Wang's, those words looked a little brain-burning, and Ji Nuan was too lazy to study, but the fifth brother looked confident, I hope he can get a good ranking today!

In addition to Mo Huaiyu, there are three examiners and two scholars in the main hall, and after half an hour, the students are arranged to rest in the side hall, and the scholars and examiners begin to seal the frontispiece, that is, to cover the names of the candidates, and only read their articles.

The five people selected ten more satisfactory exam papers and presented them to Mo Huaiyu: "You help me see if there are any papers of Shen Wang and Fifth Brother in it." ”

Ji Nuan also wanted to know if the fifth brother had been selected to take Xue'er to check it out and tell Mo Huaiyu that the two papers were on the table in front of him, and Ji Nuan also made a mark on Shen Wang's test paper, and Mo Huaiyu could tell it at once.

In the end, Mo Huaiyu selected three answer sheets and revealed the answers in public, but he didn't expect Ji Lianxi to be among them, so how can the fifth brother be a list or a flower explorer! Ji Nuan asked Mo Huaiyu: "Do you see which test paper belongs to my fifth brother?" ”

"No, it's the first time I've read the articles made by the fifth brother today, and I feel much better than those dry articles that praise merit or ornate rhetoric, he dares to express his meaning, but he doesn't grandstand, and his writing is smooth and substantial."

Ji Nuan wrote down these words, and Mo Huaiyu handpicked a southern student surnamed Gao as the champion on the spot, Ji Lianxi as the role model, and Shen Wang as the flower.

"Does my fifth brother look worse than Shen Wang? Why isn't he Tanhua! ”

"Do you know, every time the palace test of Tanhua will be favored by the family or the royal relatives, and want to be recruited as the fast son-in-law of the East Bed, rejecting those people will inevitably offend the powerful, and if you agree, it will be similar to a son-in-law, do you want the fifth brother to be targeted by those people?" Those who are members of the family and relatives of the emperor know that the champion and the list are the people retained by the emperor, and they may also propose marriage, but if they are politely rejected once or twice, they will not worry about it anymore, or they will have to recruit each other as sons-in-law.

Then there is only one Tanhua left, Shen Wang, I hope you perform well, don't let me down! The capital is the Longtan Tiger's Den, depending on how you choose, Mo Huaiyu is very satisfied with his arrangement.
