Chapter 14: The Storm Calms

The word 'okay' is still too modest, and on February 1, 39, after the announcement of the re-examination list, Mingde topped the list.

It is also expected that none of the admitted personnel of the Shuncheon Township Examination were dismissed, all of them passed, and they were all able to participate in this year's examination. Of course, some fine-tuning was still made in the rankings, such as Mingde taking the first place, while the original first place Yao Guan ranked third, and the second place became Suqian candidate Xu Yongxi.

In fact, the scholars who can get the top few can't say who is good at learning and who can't learn well, but it just depends on what kind of paper the examiner prefers, Mingde's answer sheet is obviously very lucky to cater to the above thoughts, so it ranks first, of course, it may also be because he is a flag man, after all, this year, it is rare to see a flag man who is willing to study hard and make progress.

In short, at this point, a great storm that shook the government and the opposition has subsided.

Although it is said that there will be a re-examination before the examination in previous years, but that is just a superficial matter, just pass it casually, no one cares about it, but this year because of the fraud turmoil that has attracted the attention of the world, the holy personal test questions, or in the inner court exam, that is very different.

Therefore, this year, these people who passed the re-examination are also extraordinarily beautiful, Mingde, as a child of the Manchurian Eight Banners surnamed Guerjia's family, since the release of the list, there has not been a moment of peace at home, and a large number of relatives who have not even seen each other do not know where to appear, as if they all remembered that there was such a junior in the clan. The family is in a mess, but they are all relatives with names and surnames on the family tree, and they can't ignore it.

These people come to stuff money, stuffed land, and even stuff people, even if Mingde doesn't want it, people are kind-hearted, they can't hang their faces and embarrass others, at least they must be entertained with a pleasant face, so as not to offend people.

Mingde was young in the end, and he was a little frightened in his heart to deal with this, but fortunately, the old lady of Niu Colu Mansion and his uncle Ling Zhu sent two experienced stewards of the family to help, so they could barely cope with it.

However, the excitement outside has nothing to do with Zhiyun, she is young, even if those ladies want to come to visit the door and tell Mingde a daughter-in-law by the way, then they can't find such a little girl as Zhiyun.

A silent circle is arranged outside the room, leaving all the hustle and bustle out of your own space.

Zhiyun carefully injected the magic into the brighter and brighter pet egg, I don't know how long it took, when the afterglow of the sunset began to penetrate the bead curtain-

There was a click.

The pet egg split in half, and a wet, palm-sized 'little kitten' moved its four little short legs and stumbled into Zhiyun's arms, a pure joy welled up in her heart, Zhiyun exhaled, gently stretched out her fingers, touched the snow leopard's soft, warm forehead, and watched the kitten unguardedly expose its neck to her, so that her fingers could easily wander over that fragile throat.

Zhiyun smiled, it seems that this little thing will grow into a good magic pet.

-- Split --

"Hey, where did the cat come from?"

After a busy morning, he finally got rid of a group of 'relatives and friends' who came to visit, Mingde pressed his somewhat sore forehead, and just thought about whether to hang a sign for reading behind closed doors, and honestly stayed at home to prepare for the exam, when he saw his sister walking into the living room with a kitten hanging on her shoulder and carrying a food box in her hand.

"Just hatched out of the egg today...... Cute, right? ”

Mingde was stunned: "...... Cats are ...... The ...... that came out of the egg "Since my sister had a mysterious master, Mingde feels that all his previous knowledge has become a floating cloud...... Even if one day the girl said that people hatched from eggs, he should not be surprised.

"Don't talk about this, my good big brother, it's okay now, shouldn't you go and get together with Lord Li and Master Jiang?" Zhiyun put the food box on the table, pushed it in front of Mingde, and said with a smile, "I prepared some wine and food in October." I don't know if it's to suit the tastes of the two adults. ”

"Ahh Mingde patted his head, "I almost forgot about business...... It's still thoughtful, the food cooked in October, Lord Jiang likes it very much, and the last time we met, I had to bring more ......"

Before the words fell, Mingde had already picked up the food box and rushed out of the door.

Zhiyun is just a waner, and he thinks that his eldest brother is very down-to-earth and steady despite his appearance, in fact, his temperament is quite anxious, and he still has to grind it, but there are also benefits, his temperament can make people feel that he is a loyal minister, a direct minister, and there is no flowery intestines, and it is easier to get the trust of the superiors.

After this retest, Kangxi actually knew that Li Pan and Jiang Chenying were not guilty, but after all, this matter was so big, in order to calm down public opinion, Kangxi still called Li Pan and Jiang Chenying to reprimand them fiercely, but they were raised high and gently put down, and both of them were only demoted by one level and reinstated.

None of the officials who can mix up in the court are fools, they all know in their hearts, Li Pan and Jiang Chenying have not lost their sacred hearts, it is estimated that it will not be long before they will find another reason to promote them back.

It's just that Li Pan and Jiang Chenying have been a little disheartened since then, especially Jiang Chenying, he is already not young, such a toss, he is angry and frightened, if it weren't for Zhiyun's nutrients to regulate the body, it is really hard to say whether he can pass this hurdle.

Mingde Xing rushed to see the two adults, but when he came back, his expression was gloomy and his spirit was not very good.

"Lord Li's hair is a lot whiter, like he is a teenager old, Lord Jiang ...... Master Jiang also lost weight, and it looked like there were only bones left on his body...... also said that when the limelight is over, he will return to his hometown, go home to train his grandson, and spend his old age in peace...... It makes people feel uncomfortable ......"

Zhiyun listened, and didn't say much to consol him, since Mingde is going to take the road of officialdom, now this kind of thing, there will be a lot of things in the future, and he will always have to face it.

I don't know what the result of Li Pan and Jiang Chenying was after the 38-year trial of Shuntianxiang in history, but now this result is a blessing for these two, and it is rare in the entire Qing Dynasty to be able to get out of the fraud case.

Although his heart was not very comfortable, but the upcoming examination and palace examination, which was of great significance to his life and the future of himself and his sister, quickly attracted Mingde's mind. He really hung up a sign saying that he was closed to customers, and studied hard at home.
