Chapter 90

The guy didn't expect to see that the younger brother and sister were extraordinary. He quickly wrapped up the book and paper, and said with a smile, "Chenghui twelve eight silver." Leisurely took out a silver ingot from his pocket and handed it to him. Xiao Er quickly took the silver to the counter and weighed it. After a while, he came over with the silver he had been looking for. "It happens that there are activities in our shop recently. Those who spend more than ten liang of silver at one time will send ten pieces of gold paper and ten pieces of Xie Gong paper. Please accept them."

Leisurely took the paper, said with a smile, "thank you." Then he left the bookstore.

At noon, I found a teahouse and ate some famous dishes. In the afternoon, they went to order some rice, flour, grain and oil, melon seeds, peanuts and other things, and they went back home.

Soon came the day of the examination, thanks to the "notes before the examination", leisurely, who had not participated in the imperial examination, had a more in-depth understanding of the examination process. I know what to prepare.

Fortunately, today's rural examination has been greatly improved. Although it also tests four books and five classics, it also adds some questions about arithmetic, agriculture, water and so on. The examination time has been changed from nine days and nine nights to three days and three nights.

Although there is a kitchen in the examination room, few people will cook. Leisurely prepared some sauce beef, sausage, marinated, pickled vegetables and so on for his younger brother, and asked sister-in-law Liu to cook some big cakes. They are all cut into small pieces. Of course, some commonly used pills or something should be taken with them just in case. There is also a thick sheepskin mattress, good to sleep at night. Of course, these things are indispensable and should be provided to Li Wenbo. Leisurely thought that since he lived in his own home to take the exam, he and his younger brother could take care of each other in the officialdom if he also won the Ju Ren exam in the future.

When Li Wenbo saw that Enron's elder sister was doing so well, he couldn't help thinking a little about the beauty. If this branch oneself can get lucky to win the middle place person, with oneself and Enron's sentiment cent, open mouth to propose a marriage words also not necessarily have no chance to win.

If Lin Enron knew that he was good to eat and drink for, but at last this man secretly beat his sister's idea, he was afraid that he would beat him out with a stick.

In the early morning of this day, the two students got up and took care of everything. They took a carriage to the gate of Jinghua Academy. The examination rooms here are as tired as those of later generations. They are all conducted in the students' classrooms. These days, of course, the whole college will be cleared up, and none of the teachers and students will be left. The invigilators are all officials of the National Academy of Sciences and officials of different sizes randomly selected from the vicinity of the capital. In addition, there are six official inspection teams.

After seeing off Enron, Lin's mother took leisurely, picked up snacks and other things, and went door-to-door to give gifts in person. Fortunately, several of the neighbors are amiable. I heard that her son was only 14 years old when he was admitted as a scholar. Now he is 15 years old and has taken part in the local examination. They all said, "if you succeed in the exam, don't forget to invite us to have a wedding wine." Such a young scholar, even if he failed in this subject, has a bright future. Seeing that Lin's mother and daughter are generous in speech and good in manners, they all have a heart of friendship.

In this way, after the completion of several neighbors, the local examination will be finished. After they came back from the examination room, they both fell into bed after bathing and washing. Lin's mother had the experience of her husband's imperial examination, so she didn't worry too much. She just ordered Liu's sister-in-law to boil a pot of chicken soup and put it there. When two people are hungry, the next bowl of noodles is to eat.

When they woke up, it was noon the next day. After a little rest, Li Wenbo left for home. He has been harassing others for so long. Now that he has finished the exam, he has no face to stay any longer.

In the period of waiting for the list, the Empress Dowager's future has passed. When she was young, the Empress Dowager was also a talented woman with excellent piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. Otherwise, she would not have been employed as the crown princess at that time. Now I like this double-sided embroidered painting of Ruihe very much. The deep and leisurely embroidery is certainly not as good as those imperial embroiderers. But her embroidery is better than that of a professional embroiderer because of its elegant colors, grand layout and flexible stitching. The Empress Dowager nodded with a smile. "I haven't seen such a lovely embroidery for a long time. It's good. It has aura." Who embroidered it. Fang Xinsu answered one by one. The Empress Dowager heard that she was the girl who had saved Fang Xinsu before, so she praised her twice and said "Hou Shang". Seeing that the Empress Dowager praised him highly and knew that he was recommended by Princess Le'an, the female official next to her considered adding some rewards. Over the years, the Empress Dowager has rarely met such a lovely gift, so she likes it more. Although many people inside and outside the court pondered her thoughts all day, trying to please the emperor by flattering her. But sincerity can change sincerity, blindly speculating, what you see can only be superficial.

When the emperor saw that the Empress Dowager liked it, he said, "reward.". I'll take care of it.

Therefore, the reward leisurely received in the end was very heavy. The Empress Dowager awarded a gold and silver collar, four palace satins, two strings of aloe beads, and two pairs of palace made gold and silver statues. The emperor ordered a pair of gold ingots, a pair of silver ingots and four pieces of silk. When the empress saw that the two big bosses all rewarded him, she also followed suit and rewarded him with two handles of superior palace fans, two pieces of brocade and a pair of gold and silver ingots. Fang Xinsu sent someone to send all these things to her, because they were all given by the emperor, pointing out that they were for leisurely. So leisurely and impolitely they all received their own box. Fortunately, there are still some real gold and silver in these awards. If they are all worthless bracelets and fans, just like Jia Yuanchun's awards in a dream of Red Mansions, people will be speechless. Of course, Fang Xinsu received more rewards. As usual, there is no reason, the Empress Dowager also a strong reward for her things, this time the son had an excuse, the good things on the general reward to the loyal Marquis's house. Fang Xinsu picked out some of them and distributed them to your relatives and friends. He also got a pair of Furong mats and a pair of wax carved Buddhist ornaments.

In Zhongyi Marquis's residence, marquis Shen and Han are also talking about the imperial examination. "Ze'er has also gone to take part in the imperial examination. I think his thoughts are mostly on official career and economy, but this subject is also hanging."

Han said with a smile, "this child is a steady one. Besides, my cousins all say that his article is ready. I think it doesn't matter. It's just that he didn't make it. Zegol is 21 years old. It's really a big age. It's time to get married and start a business. "

Marquis Shen nodded, "yes, I had Tian'er in my grade. I used to have a four character general under my command, but I fell in love with his character. I don't care that he is willing to marry his daughter to him without the help of his parents. Who knows that the boy thinks other people's girls are vulgar. Dingyang uncle mentioned it that time, and he was willing to promise him a common girl of his family, but I didn't know the character of the girl in his family, so I didn't dare to promise it rashly. "

Han said, "the Duke of Kui didn't agree, otherwise, would it not hurt zege er?" Hearing this, marquis Shen was stunned. "What's the matter? Is there something wrong with this girl in his family? "
