Since Xu Qin's death, Xu Huizu has been restless, unable to eat, and unable to sleep...... The whole person felt as if he had lost his soul.

Even if you pass Enko, you're just a jinshi.

At most, he is a seventh-grade official, and he can't be compared with a super-grade Guogong at all.

How can Xu Huizu be so open-minded, it's like he has never seen the world!

Not to mention, that's the way it should be.

Although the prince is noble, it is the grace of his ancestors, and he did not earn it by his own ability.

is like the same Wei Guogong, what is Xu Da's status? What is his status as Xu Huizu?

Waiting for Xu Qin to take over, what will happen?

Don't think that if you have a knighthood, people will respect you.

That's just one aspect, it's all about your ability.

For example, there are many Guogong at present, but the one who can make everyone shake their heads is Xu Jingchang.

No way, people are just so tough.

In the post of general political envoy, he cleaned up hundreds of officials, became the governor of Jinyi Wei, and attacked the entire Confucianism.

Fighting the heavens and the earth, I have never suffered a loss.

Such a character, even if he doesn't have a fixed country, what can he do?

Who would dare to underestimate it?

At the end of the day, a knighthood is just the icing on the cake. If you can only rely on the title to make a living, it means that the person's income is limited.

coincides with Enke, if his son can take the test and make a name for himself, make a little performance in the court, and then inherit the title, then it is the real righteousness, and everyone must be in awe of the Xu family.

Their long house can also have a little face.

It's just that Enco can be that easy?

What if my son can't pass the exam?

Maybe if you can't pass the test, you won't be able to pass the test, and it's up to people to succeed.

Xu Huizu pondered for a long time, and the nine-day Enke exam finally ended...... The candidates dispersed and returned to their residences to wait for the results to be announced.

Xu Qin also came back from the examination room, he hurriedly washed, although there was water in the Gongyuan, but he couldn't take a bath. Fortunately, there was no exam in the summer, otherwise everyone would have stinked.

But even then, it was uncomfortable.

When Xu Qin came back, he immediately took a shower and changed into clean clothes.

At this moment, the kitchen also sent hot meals, and in the Gongyuan, it was obviously not good to eat. He was pulling a pamphlet into his mouth, looking at it carefully, nodding his head from time to time, as if he had realized.

Xu Huizu stood at the door and looked at his son like this.

In the past, while reading a book and eating, he would only scold sharply, but today, Xu Huizu has an inexplicable sadness.

It turns out that it is not easy to take the imperial examination!

After waiting for a while, Xu Qin put down his chopsticks, and when he looked up, he saw the father at the door, he hurriedly stood up, quickly put down the book, and stood with his head down.

Xu Huizu walked in, he reached out and pressed Xu Qin's shoulder to let him sit down, and pulled a chair himself.

"How's that, are you sure?"

Xu Qin frowned slightly, "I can't say it well, after all, I haven't participated in the imperial examination before." It's just that I really wanted to answer everything in this test, and even if I made some mistakes, I guess I have hope of getting right...... It's just that when you come to the palace exam, you need to test your strategy, not only with lofty intentions, but also with beautiful rhetoric and correct dictionaries. It's a test of skill, but this is a child's weakness...... Knowing this, the child should have listened to his father, and earlier, it was good to study hard. ”

Xu Huizu looked at his slightly annoyed son, and he didn't know what to say for a while?

You kid is actually thinking about the palace test?

You're so sure!

Xu Huizu simply didn't know what to say.

"Enko this time, is it difficult?" Xu Huizu asked tentatively.

Xu Qin said: "It's not difficult to say, but the scope of the assessment is very wide, not the simple eight shares before...... This has been made clear in the pamphlet of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. A bibliography is also given. From astronomy and geography to arithmetic and the law, all of them have been examined. Fortunately, the cousin urged, otherwise the child really didn't know how to deal with it. ”

Xu Huizu groaned a little, reached out and touched Xu Qin's head, "After the exam, don't think too much, it's best to pass...... As long as you have the heart to study and make progress, even if you don't have Enke in the future, it is not without a chance to take the ordinary imperial examination, don't push yourself too hard. ”

Xu Qin nodded, sent his father away, turned his head, and hurriedly picked up the book and read it quickly.

I don't want to waste a little time.

In the Gongyuan, he even saw an old man with gray hair, enough to be his grandfather, and he also came to participate in the imperial examination.

At such an age, he was searched from the inside out, and then entered the simple Gongyuan room, enduring the cold wind.

He, a young man, couldn't stand it.

Not to mention the old man!

But even so, they kept saying that they were grateful to God.

The imperial examination has really consumed the youth of too many people and exhausted the hard work of countless people...... Everyone is desperately trying to get out of the thousands of troops, just for that little chance.

Why can't you fight civil officials?

After walking around the Gongyuan, you will understand everything.

At most, the nobles are family competition, and they don't even need to compete, the eldest son inherits and just waits for the title.

It's at your fingertips and effortless.

But civil officials can't do it, they have to start from the county test, pass all the way, and go through countless trials before they can get lucky to get into the jinshi.

And after becoming a jinshi, he only started from a seven-rank official, which is far inferior to the honorable scenery.

It's just that if you want to sit in a high position, you must have enough tribulations, experience enough experience, and be tempered into steel before you can be qualified for this position.

For most of the second and third generations of nobles, the little hardship they suffered was nothing at all. Fighting is also a matter of course.

There is no bitterness in this world that is eaten in vain!

Xu Qin held the scroll in his hand and studied hard...... If it was Xu Jingchang who forced him with a stick in front of him, at this time, he was from the bottom of his heart and really studied hard.

Time passed like this, and finally the day came to announce the results of Enko.

Early in the morning, Cao Guogong Li Jinglong actually came.

"Your Xu Qin is gone? Are you sure? ”

Xu Huizu stiffened his face and said, "Maybe, the child is working hard." ”

Li Jinglong said: "Okay, I'll wait here." ”

Without saying a word, Li Jinglong sat down.

Not long after he came, Zhu Neng, the Duke of Chengguo, also came, and this one was more direct, "Duke Wei Guo, your kid is going to be angry!" Give us a face! ”

Xu Huizu could only reluctantly nod.

Subsequently, Qi Guogong Qiu Fu, Zheng Heng, and Huo Zhen ...... All the nobles came over.

Eventually, a young man in his twenties came.

His name is Zhang Fu, and his father is Zhang Yu, who died in battle, and he is Zhu Di's most relied on general.

Zhang Fu first greeted the seniors, and then said: "I'll come over and take a look, if it works, I plan to let the two brothers go to Guozijian to study, and they will also take the test in the future." After all, generations of generals are generals, but no legal person is a famous general. ”

Zhang Fuyi said that the big guys all agreed.

Zhu Neng said even louder: "That's great, that bastard boy in my family just can't read or practice martial arts, and the light will make me angry." Now I am still a tax official and a thousand households, and I am so sad. ”

When the big guy heard this, he turned his head together, too lazy to look at him.

This is showing off, why don't we change it, take a commander, and change it with your baby son, and ask you if you can change it?

Of course, everyone knows that Zhu Yong is lucky, climbed the line of Xu Jingchang, is responsible for taxation, and is second only to Wang Zhong in terms of authority. It's the best mix of young nobles.

The others are simply not comparable.

Qiu Fu snorted: "Of the few cubs in my family, two of them also have a thousand households with grace, and the rest are all white dings. ”

This is the norm of the noble family, except for a few who inherit the title, the rest of the descendants have no good way out, they can only eat and wait for death.

If the road of the imperial examination can really be passed, it is not a good way.

Xu Qin is a good role model...... The big guy kept chatting, time kept passing, but no news came.

What's going on?

It's not going to be off the list, is it?

Xu Huizu couldn't sit still, so he called his family and asked him to go out to inquire.

After waiting for a while, the family came back.

The look is not good, "Guogong, the Ministry of Rites has announced the list, and some people have already begun to celebrate, if you don't believe it, please listen, there are firecrackers on the street again." ”

What?

Already announced?

Without Xu Qin, is the child really off the list?

It seems that the martial artists want to take the path of the imperial examination, but they still can't.

Xu Huizu was also half cold in an instant, but fortunately he was still sensible.

"Have they all been announced?"

"Not yet, counting from back to front."

Xu Huizu was overjoyed, but he immediately hesitated, his own son, can he really get to the front?

I'm afraid it won't work!

And just like that, time passed quickly, and another half an hour passed...... Even if it was Xu Huizu, there was no hope.

He smiled helplessly, turned his head to look at the people present, and asked the big guy to come for nothing.

At this time, suddenly the door was full of people and it was very lively.

Immediately after that, someone ran in.

The man gasped for breath and his face flushed.

Seeing Xu Huizu, he hurriedly fell to the ground, "I'm hit!" ”

"What!"

Xu Huizu was shocked, as if he didn't hear clearly, "What did you say?" ”

"Shaoguo Gong is in the middle of it!"

Xu Huizu was overjoyed.

Then the family added a sentence, which directly sent Xu Huizu to the peak of excitement.

"Grandpa Guo, the first place in the young Guogong High School Enke!"

"First place!"

Qiu Fu stood up in horror and blurted out: "Good girl, this is the champion!" ”

Zhu Neng next to him couldn't help but say: "The palace test is the champion, this is Huiyuan, but Enke doesn't know if it's a ......."

Qiu Fu snorted: "Don't bite and chew words with me, I know, is our eldest nephew very powerful this time?" ”

Li Jinglong laughed and said, "It's not just amazing! I really didn't expect that our noble children also have a person who can read, what an honor! ”

Zheng Heng and the others all praised, "That's right, Wei Guogong, such a big happy event, it's not too much to eat you, right?" ”

Xu Huizu only recovered from the shock at this time, "It's not too much, it's not too much!" Quick, get ready for the feast! ”

Suddenly, Xufu slaughtered pigs and sheep, and it was very lively.

All the nobles are inspired.

While the big guy was talking, someone suddenly ran in.

"Guogong, the queen has arrived!"

What, Empress Xu is here!

Xu Huizu was overjoyed and hurriedly went out to greet him......
