Zhou You listened to it with disgust for a while, and thought: This old fox is using me as a shield again, and keeps saying my idea, and when this spreads, won't Shilin scold me Zhou someone for being inflammatory? No, if you want to flatter Zhenjun, can't you let you be so wishy-washy.

At the moment, he said: "According to the opinion of the lower officials, it is best to copy several copies of each volume, one copy in each person's hand, and each one in his own hand to approve the words. In this way, when you approve words, you don't have to see what others have criticized, and you won't be affected. ”

A fellow examiner praised the words: "Master Zhou's method is wonderful, and the lower official seconded it." ”

Liu Yushi nodded, "That's the best." ”

All the examiners looked at Gao Shangshu together, after all, he was the main examiner of this subject, and the final decision still depended on his decision. Gao Shangshu pretended to think about it for a while, and said with a smile: "Since this is the case, let's do it according to the method of sacrificing wine every week." ”

At that moment, people copied the papers, and seventy-three examiners on the spot, one chief examiner, two deputy examiners, and seventy fellow examiners copied seventy-three copies of the three papers. In order to distinguish them, the three volumes were named Volume A, Volume B, and Volume C, and everyone knew that Yoo Zhenzhen's volume was named Volume A, and it is not known who made it for Volume B and Volume C, but it does not affect it.

The rolls were handed out and the words were graded separately. Fortunately, the papers were all read a long time ago, and the approval was fast, and soon after, everyone finished the approval and the papers were collected.

Subsequently, it was counted that the three papers had the same number of 'excellent' words, and each paper received seventy-three excellent. Although no one dares to offend the subtle and holy true monarch of Tongxuan, no one wants to fall into the position of the flame. Provoke Shilin to laugh.

As a result, after Liu Zhenzhen's papers were graded as 'excellent', the papers of the other two were also approved as 'excellent', and at this point, it no longer matters whether the other two papers are good or bad, and whether they are in line with the examiner's wishes.

If Liu Zhenzhen's papers are 'excellent' and other people's papers are 'poor', then they will not be scolded to death? After all, these two papers are carefully selected, and they are really outstanding among the candidates, and they are superior to Liu Zhenzhen's papers after all.

spread out, I am afraid that a minister's hat will not be erased for a lifetime. This result. The same is what no one wants.

It's just that in this way, the ranking is still not decided.

Gao Shangshu said helplessly: "It seems that this method is not feasible, in the eyes of everyone." All three volumes are equally good. But even if it's all good. There is always a distinction between superior and inferior. That's fine. Let's change the way and decide the champions, the top eyes, and the flowers. ”

Zhou Saijiu hurriedly asked, "What does Lord Gao propose?"

Gao Shangshu glanced at him before he said, "It's better to raise your hand to vote." ”

Zhou Xijiu then asked, "How do you vote by a show of hands?"

Gao Shangshu said: "Agree with the first roll to be the champion of the raise hand." As he spoke, he looked at the crowd. Examiners, you look at me, I look at you, and at last seventy-three people raised their hands.

Gao Shangshu nodded and said with a smile: "Since everyone agrees to be the champion of the first roll, this champion can be regarded as decided." ”

"Your Excellency. Then Liu Yushi suddenly called Gao Shangshu.

Gao Shangshu smiled and asked, "What is Liu Yushi's opinion?"

Liu Yushi said: "According to the opinion of the lower officials, it is unfair for the adults to decide the champion like this. ”

"Oh!" Gao Shangshu looked at him playfully, "It seems that Liu Yushi has some opinions on being the champion of the first volume." ”

Liu Yushi was taken aback, and hurriedly said: "Gao Shangshu said that he laughed, the first roll was the champion, and the lower officials agreed with both hands." It's just that I only asked about volume A, which is unfair to volume B and roll C. Why don't you ask again. As he spoke, he turned to the crowd, "Rank, please raise your hand if you agree to be the champion of the second volume." ”

As he spoke, he raised his hand first, and the others looked at each other and raised their hands in agreement.

Everyone looked at Gao Shangshu together, and Gao Shangshu said with a smile: "With the talent of Volume B, it is also possible to be the champion." He raised his hand as he spoke.

Zhou Xijiu sighed: "There are as many as Volume A and Volume B, but I still can't tell them." ”

One of the same examiners was a waiter from the Ministry of Works, and said with a smile: "I haven't asked about the C roll yet, I am ranked, please raise your hand if you agree to be the champion of the C roll." Again, everybody's hands up.

Gao Shangshu said: "You can't choose three champions." ”

Zhou Xijiu said with a smile: "The three volumes are as good, so what can be done." ”

One of the same examiners is a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, and this person is Gao Shangshu's in-laws, and after thinking about it, he said: "Ladies and gentlemen, the lower officials have a proposal, I don't know whether to talk about it or not." ”

Zhou Xijiu glanced at him and recognized it as Gao Shangshu's in-laws, "Li Hanlin, but it's okay to talk about it." ”

Li Hanlin said: "Since there is only one champion, in the opinion of the lower officials, it is better for everyone present to divide a piece of paper, write the champion in their minds on this piece of paper, and see who gets the most of the three volumes, who is the champion." ”

Gao Shangshu clapped his hands and praised: "Li Hanlin's method is good, so let's do it." ”

Zhou Xijiu secretly cursed in his heart, thinking: This method is really vicious, in this way, who dares not to choose the true monarch? This Li Hanlin is obviously an idea, but secretly helping Gao Shangshu.

As expected, the white paper was handed out, and each person wrote a few words on it. Shaoqing collected it, and on the seventy-three pieces of paper, each of which was written on a roll of armor.

Gao Shangshu smiled: "It seems that everyone present has the same idea, all of them like the Serie A roll to be the champion, since this is the case, the champion of the current department is set to be the first volume." Next, choose the list of eyes and explore the flowers. ”

Without Liu Zhenzhen's papers, it would be much easier for the other two volumes to be separated, and everyone would be able to do things with peace of mind. Soon after, the list of eyes and flowers was decided.

Let's say that Liu Zhenzhen went out of the examination room, and the red line took a carriage to pick her up outside, and as soon as she saw Liu Zhenzhen, she immediately beckoned and shouted: "Sister Zhenzhen, here, here." ”

Countless candidates came out of the examination room at the same time, which caused everyone's attention for a while. The virgin girl didn't care at all about the eyes of others, and commanded the soldiers to drag her boxes to the carriage.

"Sister Zhenzhen, how did you do in the exam?" Hongxian waited for her to get into the carriage and immediately asked.

Liu Zhenzhen said proudly: "It's just a matter of the imperial examination." What's so difficult? Sister, I'm out of the horse, and I haven't got it yet. ”

Hongxian smiled: "So, my sister can win the top prize in Jinke?"

Liu Zhenzhen said: "What is the champion? Good sister, with your sister's knowledge, don't say one champion, even if it is ten champions, it will be easy to come back." ”

Red Line praised: "Sister is amazing. As he spoke, he told the coachman to hurry back.

After Liu Zhenzhen's exam, she realized that she had done a wonderful job, and when she recalled it, she couldn't help but feel proud. Lift the curtains. Watch the roadside scenery.

Soon she realized that the way back was not quite right, and cried out, "Coachman, coachman." Stop! Where are you going?"

Red Line hurriedly grabbed her. "Sister. Don't worry. Then he instructed the coachman, "Handlebar type, go on." My sister doesn't know. Then he explained to Liu Zhenzhen, "Sister, you don't know yet, just a few days before you took the exam, we had already moved. ”

"Moved?" Liu Zhenzhen was stunned for a moment, then remembered something, and said stupidly: "I knew that the place of the Eternal Life Courtyard would not live for long, and now that the Ten Thousand Law Conference is over, people will not let it live." ”

"Hee-hee!" Hongxian couldn't help but laugh when she looked at Yoo Jung-jeong's expression.

"Sister, what are you laughing at?" asked Yoo Jung-jeong hurriedly.

Hongxian smiled: "Sister, I laughed at you for being wrong." It's not that the temple is not allowed to live, but it is being built. ”

"Build?" Liu Zhenzhen said, "Isn't that still a denial?"

Hongxian smiled: "Hehe, sister, you've been taking exams for the past few days, so I don't know." That Eternal Life Courtyard, just a few days ago, had been rewarded by the emperor to Uncle Xu, and it was being built now just to move there in the future. ”

"Ah!" Liu Zhenzhen was shocked when she heard this, "The emperor gave him the Immortal Academy, why did he reward him?"

"It's not because of the Wanfa Conference. The red line said eloquently, she didn't know much, Xu Mo didn't like to be public, these few days after the reward, the red line only heard some from others, "Uncle Xu found a way to live forever, some time ago to help us adjust our bodies, sister, have you forgotten? ”

In her little girl's heart, she didn't think that there was any beauty in riding a jade chariot and wearing a dragon robe, but when others said so, it affected her, so she felt so.

"Ahh......h That's what only the emperor can use. He...... Isn't he trespassing by doing this? He's going to kill his head, no, I'm going to go back and stop him. ”

Hongxian wasn't worried at all, "Good sister, don't worry, others have said so." However, this is what the emperor asked Uncle Xu to do, so there is no need to worry. ”

Liu Zhenzhen's heart calmed down slightly, and then she remembered something and asked, "Sister, you just said that Tongxuan is subtle and holy Zhenjun, what is that?"

Hongxian didn't know what it was, so he had to pick up what he knew and said, "That's the title given to Uncle Xu by the emperor, and Uncle Xu found a way to live forever, and the emperor sealed it." After a pause, he said: "Sister, this title is very powerful, it is said that from ancient times to the present, there has never been a living person, hehe! Uncle Xu is the first." ”

Liu Zhenzhen was shocked and a little disappointed at the same time. If Xu Mo was given the title of 'Subtle and Holy True Monarch', what is the use of taking the top prize for him?

After thinking about it, he asked again, "Sister, where is our house?"

The red line said: "It is said that it is called Sanguer Hutong, and the emperor rewarded Uncle Xu's mansion with a temporary residence, but in my opinion, most of this mansion will not be taken back." Sister, don't you know, the emperor also rewarded many maidservants and servants. Alas, there are many people, and everywhere they go, there are always people who feel chaotic. ”

Miss Liu doesn't dislike too many people, she just doesn't think there are enough people. Since she was a child, she has been looking forward to being the hostess of a big house, and now, this wish seems to have come true. After listening to the words of the red line, he smiled and said: "That's because no one is in charge at home, so it's messy, wait for me to go back, tidy up, and make sure you don't mess up." Then he raised his voice and said to the coachman, "Coachman, go faster." She couldn't wait to go back and exercise her hostess's rights.

The coachman said, "Yes, girl." ”

Liu Zhenzhen couldn't help frowning when she heard him still call herself a girl, and then ordered, "You can't call me a girl anymore in the future, I am the wife of your master Ming Media." Change your name to my mistress. ”

The coachman was originally hired by Xu Mo, and after such a long time, seeing Xu Mo's rising tide, he couldn't wait to devote himself to being a domestic servant in his house, and after listening to Liu Zhenzhen's words, he liked it in his heart, and hurriedly changed his words: "Yes, master." ”

Liu Zhenzhen commanded the carriage and rushed all the way back to Sanguer Hutong to a large mansion. The carriage stopped. Yoo Jung-jung got out of the car. At a glance, I saw a big sign on the gatehouse, with the words 'Zhenjun's Mansion' written on it.

The main door was not opened, and more than a dozen gatekeepers at the side door were holding the door and saw the red line. The dozen or so porters stood up together. Salute respectfully. Greeted with a smile, "The girl is back." ”

Red Line introduced Liu Zhenzhen, "This is my sister Zhenzhen." ”

The dozen or so porters had heard of her for a long time. Hurriedly saluted Liu Zhenzhen, "I've seen Miss Liu." ”

Liu Zhenzhen frowned when she heard this, and said unhappily: "I am the wife of your master Ming Media, why do you still call me a girl? ”

The dozen or so porters were shocked when they heard this, and hurriedly changed their words, "It's the villain, isn't it, the mistress is atoning for her sins." ”

Liu Zhenzhen waved her hand and walked straight inside, while instructing, "Let the housekeeper come and see me." After entering the house, someone came over with a light carriage, and Liu Zhenzhen and the red line got into the carriage again.

The carriage went straight to the inner house, which was very large, and even though it was in a carriage, it still took more than ten minutes to reach the inner house. got off the carriage at the door of the inner house, more than a dozen maids accompanied by a few big-footed women carried a sedan chair out, Liu Zhenzhen and the red line changed to the sedan chair and walked to the inner house again.

I also walked for more than ten minutes, bypassing many ponds, flower galleries, and gardens, before entering a courtyard. The sedan chair stopped, Liu Zhenzhen and Hongxian got down from the sedan chair, and saw Xu Mo at a glance,

Xu Mo was only wearing a pair of household clothes, and asked with a smile: "Are you back?"

Liu Zhenzhen and him were separated for a few days, and when they suddenly saw it, they felt a little shy, their faces were red, and they nodded slightly.

Xu Mo then asked, "How was the exam?"

When Liu Zhenzhen heard someone talk about the exam, she came to her senses and said proudly: "This exam is not difficult for me." Then he glanced at Xu Mo again, "Sister Hongxian said that the emperor gave you a dragon robe, why don't you wear it?"

Xu Mo shook his head, although the dragon robe was beautiful to wear, it was very heavy, and it was extremely inconvenient to wear on his body, so he never wore it at home. After listening to Liu Zhenzhen's words, he said, "It's very heavy, what is there to wear?"

Liu Zhenzhen was very unimpressed, "One day I put it on, let me see it." ”

At this time, Lin Xu'er came out of the room and saw Liu Zhenzhen, "Hey! Miss Zhenzhen is back." Then he beckoned to the house, "Sister Luo Shi, Sister Ling'er, and Miss Zhenzhen are back." ”

Luo Shi and Lin Xue got acquainted with each other, so they taught them to play real-world backgammon, and at this time she was playing chess with Xue Ling'er in the house, and after listening to Lin Xu'er's words, she came out of the house together and greeted Liu Zhenzhen, "Miss Zhenzhen is back." ”

Liu Zhenzhen greeted the two girls, and when her eyes fell on Luo Shi, she felt a little uncomfortable, and felt that her status as the hostess seemed to be threatened. She thought for a while, and said to Lin Xue's second daughter: "Sister Su'er, Sister Ling'er, we didn't have a home before, but now that we have a home, the family is bigger, and there are more people, and the rules should be set up, otherwise a true monarch's mansion in Nuoda will inevitably be laughed at." ”

Speaking of this, he suddenly smiled, and continued: "Two sisters, I don't mean you, you are all old people who follow him, and you are older than me, and my sister has something to ask you for advice." ”

Lin Su'er said with a smile: "What the girl said is that we have a family, and the rules that should be established are indeed going to be established." These days, the girl is not there, and the house is in chaos like something. ”

Liu Zhenzhen was happy to hear this, glanced at Luo Shi, and said with a smile: "What my sister said is very true, now that I am back, I naturally have to rectify it." There are so many subordinates, and no one can take care of it. ”

Luo Shi's expression was gloomy, she lowered her head, and didn't say a word.

Xu Mo sensed that something was wrong, looked at Luo Shi, and then looked at Liu Zhenzhen. Then he glared at Liu Zhenzhen.

Yoo Jung-jung smiled, not taking his threat to heart at all. At this moment, a servant girl came in and reported that the butler had asked to see her. Liu Zhenzhen pulled the red line and walked out.

Xu Mo waited for her to walk away, so he comforted Luo Shi and told her not to take it to heart.

Luo Shi shook her head and asked, "Brother Xu, are you married in this world?"

Xu Mo was slightly embarrassed, that time it was a fake marriage, but now, it seems that the fake has come true. He hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded.

Luo Shi's expression was gloomy for a while, and she smiled reluctantly, but it felt like she was crying. After saying a few more words, he pulled Xue Ling'er in.

Xu Mo couldn't help but sigh.

Time is also easy, Liu Zhenzhen has learned a little bit of the ability to govern the family since she was a child, and at this point, she didn't say anything big. Within a few days, the whole house was well organized.

In a blink of an eye, it was the day of the release of the list, on this day, Xu Mo was sitting at home, and someone came to report: "The Ministry of Rites Shangshu asks to see you." ”

Xu Mo only felt inexplicable, although he was named the subtle and holy true monarch of Tongxuan, he had never had any contact with the officials of the court and China, and he didn't know why this secretary of the Ministry of Rites came to ask to see him. Thinking of the past of Tongyuanguan, I vaguely remember that this Ministry of Rites Shangshu seems to have a high surname. He immediately asked, "What's the matter with him?"

The man shook his head and said, "He didn't say it directly, he only said that there was a great event." ”

A big event?

Xu Mo thought for a while, didn't have any eyebrows, and ordered: "Please come to the hall to see him." ”

After a while, Xu Mo changed his clothes before walking towards the hall. When I entered the living room, I saw an official in his fifties sitting in the hall.

As soon as he saw Xu Mo, the official stood up and bowed, "Gao Chen, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, has seen Zhenjun. ”

Xu Mo waved his hand, "No courtesy." ”

He went to the main seat and sat down, and asked Gao Shangshu to take a seat. The Gao Shangshu sat sideways tremblingly.

Xu Mo then asked: "Gao Shangshu is visiting, what is the matter?" (to be continued......
