In the blink of an eye, the day of the academy's test release, Minghui asked, "Uncle, are we really not going to see it?"
Chang Zhong frowned, "No, there are too many people, and we'd better keep a low profile."
There are a lot of people in the Zhou family. Even if there is a good reputation in the list, there will be some people who say sour words behind their backs, so don't be conspicuous.
Changzhong is not afraid that someone will question his ranking, his knowledge is solid.
And after his understanding, the prefect is a little careful, and the ability to rule is really good.
Before the announcement of the good news arrived, the boy who went to see the results ran back first, "I won, the son is a junior."
Minghui asked, "What about me?"
The little servant cheerfully said, "Young master is fifth."
Minghui blinked, "Fifth?"
Instead, the ranking dropped. It seems that this year's candidates in Pingzhou are not bad. He knows his knowledge and thinks he did well in the exam.
With a smile on the corner of Changzhong's mouth, Xiaosanyuan has become, and he still has a big goal, Dasanyuan, and asked, "What about the other people in the clan?"
The little servant smiled, "This time, two young masters in the Hui clan have won six people."
Chang Zhong nodded, "Yes, it's pretty much what I expected."
Most of the clansmen referred to this time are relatively young, and a few of them have participated in the question. They were not disappointed if they failed to pass the test. The next time they will take the exam, it will be a great event for them to pass the government exam at such a young age. .
Cheng Xiang came to the door and said congratulations at this time, "Congratulations to Zhou Gongzi."
Chang Zhong smiled, "Happy together, rejoice together."
Cheng Xiang had not underestimated this young master of the Hou mansion for a long time. He had a feeling that this man might really be able to return to the Zhou Hou mansion as a champion. When he thought that the Hou mansion was either the second or the jinshi, his father's envious eyes turned red.
People came to congratulate one after another, and the Zhao family immediately came when they got the news. Those who came with the crowd did not see Changzhong and Minghui.
Now that the academy exam is over, everyone who is waiting to see Changzhong has come to brush his face, which also makes Changzhong realize more deeply what his identity represents.
The more Changzhong knew, the more cautious he planned to leave for Zhoujia Village in two days.
In the capital, Zhulan received news from Jiang Ling that Shao Xun was also a scholar, and the ranking was not bad at sixth.
Zhulan was delighted to hear this, and asked Qingxue to prepare a gift for the Shao family.
Li Shi was a little confused, "Mother, should I prepare a gift for Minghui?"
Zhulan, "I think Minghui has an arrangement."
That kid is attentive, he doesn't believe that Minghui left without arrangements.
Mrs. Li motioned for the old lady beside her to ask, and she came back shortly after, "Minghui Young Master has prepared a gift."
Li scolded with a smile, "This stinky boy."
Zhu Lan chuckled, "He is also a scholar when he comes back."
Li sighed, "Mother, my daughter-in-law won't lie to you, I don't have any feelings for Xiucai."
Zhulan also laughed. Indeed, she has been through so much at home, and she is very calm now.
Li thought for a while and then said, "I don't know if Shao Xun will participate in this year's autumn festival."
"Minghui lent him a lot of books. If Shao Xun wasn't sure to participate in the past, he can't tell now."
Li Shi was nervous, "This child won't lend out his notes, right?"
She knew how precious the notes at home were, and not many of them could be seen by in-laws.
Zhulan, "No, this child is measured, he knows the preciousness of the notes at home."
The Zhouhou Mansion will educate the children, and the children's prosperousness is the proof. Taking out the notes at home and selling them can sell for a high price. There are also people in the court who have the cheek to ask Shuren to pick them up, but Shuren has rejected them. These are the precious treasures of the Zhouhou Mansion. .
Li Shi breathed a sigh of relief, "It's fine if you don't borrow it."
Zhu Lan smiled, "The books he borrowed were carefully selected."
Li Shi, "I didn't expect that this child is crouched out of the elbow." Gu
"He's also trying to improve Miss Shao's identity, but Shao Xun can participate in Qiuwei Dingtian, and Chunwei can't think about it anymore."
Li counted the days, "It's time for Minghui to come back after the hospital exam."
"Ok."
After the end of the college examination, Changzhong's letter was not sent back. The emperor knew the results first, "Little Sanyuan, what do you think of Zhouhou?"
Zhou Shuren was still happy, "It's really good for the old minister."
The emperor, "This child has been talking about taking the championship, I am waiting for him."
Wu Ming personally taught him, and he had Zhou Shuren as his father. He was looking forward to Chang Zhong.
Zhou Shuren said: "I also look forward to it."
The emperor said again: "The college examination is over, the chief examiner of Qiu Wei should announce it, and I have already sent a letter to Changzhi."
"The emperor is really not afraid of him doing things?"
As a father, he didn't have a clue, Changzhi asked the exam questions, and he didn't miss the questions that his son would ask!
The emperor's mouth froze, "Can he still pierce the sky?"
"That's not possible, but you still have to be mentally prepared."
emperor,"......"
Can he say he is mentally prepared?
After the end of the hospital examination, the second prince got married in the capital, and Zhulan also received a letter from Changzhong, knowing that Changzhong stayed in Zhoujia Village and would not come back, only Minghui came back.
Changzhong will continue to participate in this year's Autumn Festival.
Changzhong also said that he received a gift from Wu Ming. Well, they were all exam questions prepared by Wu Ming himself. After Changzhong answered the questions, he sent them back, and Wu Ming guided Changzhong from a distance.
The next day, when the second prince got married, the Li family's dowry was unexpected I thought I couldn't get a decent dowry, but those who were going to see a joke didn't see it as a joke.
On the day of the big wedding, the second prince looked much better, and the reception also gave the Li family enough face.
When the wedding was over, Xuehan came back and said, "I look at Miss Li very well."
"What's the best way?"
"This girl is transparent and full of love."
Zhulan listened and said, "This is the best way. Only by loving yourself can you live a good life. The second prince is unreliable."
Xuehan twitched the corners of her mouth, "I heard that Concubine Liu had already arranged the second prince's concubine, and just waited for Miss Li to enter the door. No, now it's called Second Prince Concubine."
Zhulan, "...No surprise."
Xuehan said again: "I also saw that the second prince did not wait for the second prince to leave the palace, and the second prince was not in a hurry but walked slowly and contentedly."
Zhu Lan smiled, "The Li family has a good family style, and the girl raised is really good. If there is no girl married into the royal family, the Li family girl is a good candidate for a daughter-in-law."
Xuehan nodded, "Yes."
Zhulan thought that today was the day to return home, and was about to say something when Rong Chuan came in a hurry.
Xuehan asked, "Didn't you enter the palace? Why are you here?"
Rong Chuan, "I was talking to the emperor in the palace just now. The imperial doctor came to report that the queen fainted, so I hurried out of the palace to find you."
Xuehan felt a sigh in her heart when she heard this, "What else did the imperial doctor say?"
Rong Chuan sat down and brought himself a cup of tea, took two sips, and said, "I looked at the imperial doctor with a look of fear, the queen is really bad this time."
Xuehan stood up, "Let's go back to the palace and wait for news."
Rong Chuan got up and said, "Mother, let's go back first."
Zhulan, "Okay, go back quickly, don't worry I won't say anything."
Rong Chuan said: "This matter can't be hidden, and the news should spread after a while."
