A few days after the end of the martial arts, the results of Sheng Ning's fifteen-year examination came out.

Geng Xingshuang, Yang Tianmo and the others arrived at Anque Street half an hour early, thinking that they had come quite early, but when they arrived, the scene they saw was much more crowded and lively than when the list was released in Qiuqiu.

"Yang Liu, do you think you can be on the list?"

Geng Shuhuai relied on his height and long legs, and he could see the position where the list was posted just by standing outside the crowd, and he didn't squeeze in, but asked Yang Tianmo about his own conjectures with great interest.

Yang Tianmo didn't answer him, so he asked Li Xu again, Jiang Xingwen and Jin Pingshan.

"Brother Geng, don't make fun of us, now my heart is like fifteen buckets of water, seven up and eight down!"

Jiang Xingwen stroked his chest, looking vulnerable.

In the expectant eyes of the entire street, the four errand officers carried the list and came out after a long time.

"Fourth place! Yang Liu, why did you get a fourth place in the exam, as long as you go up one more place, you will enter the first list, oops, what a pity! ”

Geng Shuhuai was happy at first, and then a little disappointed.

At this moment, no one answered his words, everyone was looking for their names, even Yang Tianmo, because he was tall, was pushed forward by Li Xu and others, and asked him to help them find their names and whether they were on the list.

The final result was still good, only Jiang Xingwen fell off the list.

He was a little regretful, but he was not depressed, and smiled after thinking it through, "Okay, I don't really want to be an official now, I will study for another three years, and it will not be too late to wait for my brain to be clearer." ”

After finishing speaking, he said to Geng Shuhuai: "What do you have to regret, this is just a test, and when the palace exam, with Maoshan's literary talent, he will definitely be able to make a splash, and it is unknown if he will come back from the top exam!"

Li Xu said: "I don't think it's possible for Maoshan to be the champion."

As soon as he said this, everyone looked at him, Li Xu paused for a while and laughed: "You see Maoshan grow like this, who does he belong to today?"

"Hahaha! It's the extreme! ”

Geng Shuhuai laughed.

When Yang Tianmo and other tributes were preparing for the palace test, Emperor Sheng Ning issued a holy decree to deprive the eldest prince of the title of Prince Li and reduce him to a commoner. At the same time, the second prince, King Shen, was demoted from a prince to a county king, and his fief was reduced by two.

At the moment of this holy decree, not only the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty were shocked and in an uproar, but even the people of Ningdu City were shocked by the content of this holy decree and went to the street to buy vegetables, and the bargaining movement was much smaller.

If Emperor Sheng Ning issued a holy decree to crown the eldest prince as the crown prince, I think it will be easier for people to accept it.

Such a big thing, the people of Bofu naturally also knew about it.

After King Li was stripped of his title, although he still lived in Ningdu City, he could no longer live in the Prince's Mansion, and no one knew where he had moved.

Of course, the people of Bofu didn't pay attention to where King Li moved, and they didn't have the energy to pay attention, because on the afternoon of the day when King Li was deprived of his title, a father-in-law in the palace suddenly came to Bofu and said that he wanted to announce the decree.

"Someone from the palace announced the decree? To our house? ”

Geng Wen was shocked, and Ruan also stopped the needlework in his hand.

"Yes! The eldest lord, the eldest wife, and the uncle asked everyone to go to the outer courtyard to receive the order. ”

The subordinates of Yide Yuan said anxiously, she was also very confused, she was the old man of Bofu, how many years had the Bofu not received the decree, let alone the holy decree, even the emperor's edict, the people in the palace, whether it was a eunuch or a palace maid, had not seen her for many years.

I don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing!

After the subordinates left, Ruan Shi hurriedly asked Jinzhan to inform Geng Xingshuang, "Let her change her clothes and be generous and decent." ”

As soon as Geng Xingshuang heard the words "Holy Decree", she was also very puzzled, but now is not the time to doubt, she quickly changed into an autumn-colored thin jacket and long skirt, and only brought two ordinary pearl headdresses (after all, Geng Cheng died less than a year ago), and met her parents at the gate of the courtyard.

Geng Wen and Ruan's expressions were quite nervous, and Geng Xingshuang stepped forward and walked out with them.

On the way, I met Geng Yan's family, who were also in a hurry.

"Big brother and sister-in-law, what do you say will happen?" Jiang couldn't help but ask.

"What's the use of you being in a hurry now? Where does the eldest brother and sister-in-law know? Geng Yan shouted: "Go faster, you'll know in a while." If you want me to say, there is nothing to worry about, whether it is a blessing or a curse or a curse that cannot be avoided. ”

"Phew! What a woe! It's a blessing, it's definitely a blessing! ”

Jiang snorted three times in a row, and then glared at Geng Yan.

Worried all the way, the group arrived at the outer courtyard, the people were setting up the incense case under Liang Ben's orders, Geng Xun Xia was talking with a man dressed in purple flowers and a white beard, the man's voice was slightly high-pitched and shrill, Geng Xingshuang immediately understood, this should be the father-in-law sent by the palace to announce the decree.

Although Geng Xun was sitting, his whole body was slightly close to the father-in-law, and he looked a little humble.

It's just that the father-in-law didn't squint, only stared at the incense case placed by the people, while urging, "Hurry up, our family still has something to do when we go back to the palace, but we can't delay here for long!" ”

This attitude really doesn't seem like a good thing!

Seeing their group come in, the father-in-law's gaze moved from Geng Wen and Geng Yan to Geng Shuji and Geng Shuji.

Geng Xingshuang could feel a gaze flashing over her, and she didn't stop for a moment.

"An Pingbo, are your children and grandchildren here?"

The father-in-law asked.

Geng Xun was about to speak, when he heard Geng Shuhuai's voice outside.

"And me and my big brother!"

When everyone looked outside, they saw Geng Shuhuai helping Geng Shulou to walk this way.

It's been more than ten days since I last saw Geng Shulou injured, Geng Xingshuang didn't expect that his injury was not only not better, but seemed to have a tendency to worsen, what did he do these days?

Geng Xingshuang had a faint premonition in his heart, this time the holy decree was directed at Geng Shulou, as for whether it was good or bad......

Geng Xun probably thought it was good, because Geng Xingshuang couldn't see the worry and fear on his grandfather's face, but felt that there was a look of expectation on his face.

"Okay, now that everyone is here, ...... Take it! ”

The eunuch said, standing in front of the incense case, and respectfully opened the bright yellow scroll with both hands.

Geng Xun Xia knelt in the front, followed by Geng Wen, Ruan, Yao, Geng Yan, Jiang, and then Geng Shulou, Geng Shuhuai, Geng Xingshui, Geng Xingyu, Geng Xingshuang, Geng Shuchen, Geng Shuji, Geng Shu, Geng Shu.

In short, whether you are sick or reclusive, at such times, you must come out.

Geng Xingshuang knelt on the ground, pricking up her ears, and just when she thought that the content of the holy decree was about to be collected by her, a woman's voice suddenly came from outside.

"Grandfather, grandmother, mother, I'm back, just now the porter said that someone from the palace came to announce the decree, is it possible to pass down the title of the Earl's Mansion again, such a great thing, I have to catch up with such a coincidence, how can I also be touched by this joy!"

This voice was a little unfamiliar, but it was a little familiar, but in such a nervous situation, he could still say such abrupt words that he didn't know the height of the sky, Geng Xingshuang immediately thought of someone, Geng Cheng and Yao's eldest daughter, and Geng Xingyue, the eldest granddaughter of Bofu.

"Big sister is back!" Geng Xingchen whispered.

Geng Xingshuang let out a "hmm" and motioned for Geng Xingchen not to speak.

"An Pingbo, this is ......" The eunuch's voice dragged on for a long time, as if he couldn't take a breath at any time, Geng Xingshuang was uncomfortable to listen to, and Geng Xun was even more frightened when he listened.

At this time, he had the urge to kick out this granddaughter who suddenly returned to her parents' house.

"Father-in-law, please forgive me, this is my eldest granddaughter, she has been serving with her grandson-in-law, this time she should be back to Ningdu City to report on her work, she just returned home, and she doesn't know the situation, so she is so reckless."

As he spoke, Geng Xun glared back, "Don't kneel down yet!" ”

Geng Xingyue still understood the looks, and although she muttered, she still knelt down.

Geng Xingyue only brought two maids with him, and there were no people from the Song family.

"Carried by heaven, summoned by the emperor,...... Sun Geng Shulou, the governor of Anpingbo, in the case of Li Wang...... Meritorious service should be rewarded, so today Geng Shulou Canghan Wei Bapin Lieutenant, set off on the same day, limited to ...... Take office in January! ”
