In the blink of an eye, the government test results, Changzhong did not look at the results, but turned to the articles written a few days ago to re-evaluate.
Minghui's eyes looked to the door from time to time, and he wanted to know if the little uncle was at the top of the list.
The little servant ran in, "Congratulations to your son for winning the top spot."
Minghui was happy and asked quickly, "What about me, what about me?"
The little servant cheerfully said, "Minghui son third place."
Minghui was satisfied, "Congratulations, uncle."
Changzhong was very sure of everything, and he was happy to receive the letter of approval, "Tong Xi, let's celebrate today."
The servants in the yard were rewarded with silver, and the children of other clans came over to congratulate them. The children of the Zhou clan all passed the palace exam, and the whole yard was beaming with joy.
After a while, the gift-giver arrived, and Chang Zhong refused without a word.
Changzhong didn't need to feel wronged, he didn't see any outsiders today, but he accepted the post he sent, and chose the post from the prefect, and made an appointment tomorrow.
Minghui played with the post in his hand, "Uncle is really going to the appointment!"
"Well, I sent a post twice. The first time I was busy with the government test, I didn't accept it. Now that the government test is over, I want to see you. No matter what the prefect is thinking, the Zhou family will give you face in Pingzhou."
Minghui, "I will go tomorrow too."
"Of course to go."
In the government office, the prefect read the article and said to his son, "Look at Zhou Gongzi's article."
Cheng Xiang pouted, "Father, I've already won a talent show."
The prefect stared at him in popularity, "Don't think that being a scholar is a great thing, your talent has stepped on the line, I ask you, can you be sure about Qiu Wei?"
Cheng Xiang dryly said, "Half."
The prefect is even more angry, "I'm not angry if you are stupid, why can't you work hard."
Cheng Xiang can't wait to cover his ears, he has heard too many words, "Father, Zhou Gongzi has accepted the invitation, and my son will go back first to prepare."
The prefect watched his son run away, and then got even more angry. If it wasn't for only one son, he would have left it alone, and his heart was even more sour when he looked at the article.
In the capital, Zhouhou Mansion, Xuehan returned to her mother's house, and Zhulan asked, "Did you go to the palace to see the queen yesterday?"
Xuehan nodded, "I see. This illness has taken away most of my energy. My daughter saw that the Empress had gray hair."
Zhulan, "white hair?"
Xuehan nodded, she began to think that her eyes were dizzy, and after a few more glances, she confirmed that she was right. The queen was obviously much older from this illness.
Xue Han felt a little flustered, "My daughter has a bad feeling."
Especially when chatting with the queen, her affection and attitude became more obvious.
Zhulan, "Is your maiden feeling better?"
Xuehan was silent for a moment, "Niangniang said much better."
Zhulan got the point, what did the queen say?
Xuehan sighed, "I see that the second prince is about to get married, and then the third prince's marriage."
Her intuition told her that the Empress might not be able to survive this time.
Zhulan said: "This time the queen was seriously ill and didn't hide it. Now it's the second prince who should be worried."
Seeing that they are about to get married, the Liu family and the second prince are the most anxious now. The second prince has been messing around in the Ministry of Rites even before getting married. Now the second prince sincerely hopes that the queen will be well.
Xuehan thought about it too, "Princess Jingxuan is taking care of the queen."
Zhulan, "The princess is a good boy."
Xuehan likes Jingxuan very much, but she is not at ease. Seeing that the queen and Jingxuan get along very well, she is completely at ease.
When they were going to bed at night, Zhulan and Shuren talked about the queen, and Shuren said, "It's not just the second prince who is anxious."
"How do you say that?"
Zhou Shuren said: "There are a lot of people staring at the prince's backyard, because no one has entered the filial piety for the emperor. It's finally going to be an anniversary, and the queen has to delay for any reason. Are you in a hurry?"
Bamboo Orchid, "..."
It's really time to worry, the best years of ancient girls are only a few years, and they can't afford to delay like this.
Zhou Shuren continued: "The emperor is in a bad mood."
Zhulan sighed, "What's different about having a direct wife? The emperor is not a womanizer. He has always respected his direct wife all these years. There is something wrong with the queen, and the emperor is naturally sad."
The emperor is really sad. The imperial doctor has changed the prescription several times and the effect is not obvious.
The prince finally approved today's papers. In the past few days, he has been approving the papers. The father's thoughts are all on the mother and the queen.
The prince saw his father sitting silently, "Father, it's getting late, you should rest."
The emperor came back to his senses, "Finished?"
"Some unsure sons were left alone."
The emperor got up and walked over to look at it, frowning for a while and then stretching, picking up the pen to make corrections again, and then pointing out the inappropriate things, "You have been in the Ministry of Punishment for some time, wait for a while to go to the Ministry of Officials."
Prince, "Yes."
The emperor said: "Go and rest."
The prince didn't move, "Father, you should rest too."
The emperor said that he knew it. When his son left, he also returned to the bedroom. Everyone likes to reminisce. In the past few days, he likes to reminisce about the days when he just got married. Unfortunately, the memories are memories after all The next morning, Zhou Shuren is right Everyone smiled, and I was embarrassed to inquire about the news, but he didn't say a word and smiled the whole time.
Several people in a row didn't find out anything, and they all gave up one after another. Zhou Hou didn't want to say that he couldn't find any news.
There were also people who wanted to ask the Wen family, but unfortunately the queen was seriously ill and never saw anyone in the Wen family. That's right, she didn't see anyone. The Wen family refused to enter the palace with a sign.
The eldest Wen family's face was extremely stinky, and Zhou Shuren snorted heavily as he passed by.
Zhou Shuren didn't hear it. The old man was very angry. He understood it very well. It was embarrassing for the Wen family to see the queen's family.
Master Li moved the corner of his mouth, and finally sighed and did not step forward, he was not so shameless.
Although he is also anxious, the second prince has not been seen recently, and he is also afraid that the marriage will be postponed and his efforts to make calculations for his daughter will be wasted.
Chuanzhou, Changzhi came earlier than it was a coincidence. As soon as he entered Xiaoxi Village, he encountered a debtor. Five or six strong men blocked the yard with fierce expressions. Well, it was the family Changzhi wanted to visit.
The villagers were probably used to it, but they watched from a distance even though they were afraid.
Changzhi got out of the carriage and just walked to the villagers when he heard crying in the yard.
The old villager muttered, "Sin."
Changzhi asked, "Master, what happened here?"
The old man looked back and looked wary, "You're very eye-catching."
Changzhi smiled, "I'm a scholar who travels around to study. I saw an accident when I passed by the village, so I asked."
When the old man heard that it was a scholar, the vigilance in his eyes disappeared, "It was the Ding family who had an accident, and their family had also produced scholars, but unfortunately they lost their fame and the family also borrowed money. Is this money easy to borrow? , I don't have the money to make trouble every day, alas, this is going to happen."
Said that the old man quickly walked with the villagers to Ding's house, and Changzhi also heard the cries.
