On April 15th of the seventh year of Jinghe, the apricot list was published.
A total of 396 candidates were admitted for this examination, and candidates from all provinces were on the list.
The first Hui Yuan is the daughter of Marquis Yongxing of Kyoto, Sheng Yuan!
"The first place is Shengyuan, girl, official student of Shuntian Prefecture, "Book"."
The original words of this line in the "Rural Examination Record" appear exactly in the second line of the "Hui Examination Record".
Oh, the first line of the "Records of the General Examination" reads "Three hundred and ninety-six Chinese-style candidates."
What Sheng Yuan is even more proud of is that out of the eighteen Cheng essays selected for "Huishanlu", Sheng Yuan has six selected, including one on the Four Books, one on the Five Classics, two essays and two policies.
"I just sent people to the Ministry of Etiquette and ordered five hundred volumes from them!" After the good news was delivered, Yongxing Hou Sheng Xiangxun generously distributed a large amount of reward money and asked the stewards to set up a flowing banquet. He rubbed his hands in excitement, He said excitedly to his equally delighted wife.
"Five hundred volumes?!" Sheng Yuan, who was dizzy with joy, suddenly woke up when she heard the sound and blinked in surprise, "Dad, you are rich even if you eat hard!"
"What do you know!" Sheng Xiangxun shook his head proudly and laughed loudly, "This is a treasure that needs to be passed down from generation to generation! There are only three of you siblings in our family, and there are three more below. , even 500 copies are not enough to distribute to our descendants! Let’s just ask them to copy it themselves when the time comes!”
Sheng Yuan: "???" Did her father make a mistake? The endless shortage of descendants seems to come from the foolish old man who moved the mountains?
Sheng Xiangxun said this because he was so happy that he had no way to express it. He was not asking for his little daughter's opinion.
As a child, everyone just wants to strive for glory. She knows a lot about inheritance matters like this!
"Do you think it's just me? I just heard that your grandfather was even more exaggerated, saying that he wanted to order two thousand volumes from the Ministry of Rites!" Sheng Xiangxun felt that compared to the old man, he was quite humble!
Sheng Yuan, who was sitting on the couch, shook!
She was admitted to Huiyuan, but she seems to be helping the Ministry of Rites generate income!
"After all, Huiyuan is not the number one scholar. You should be patient first. After the palace examination, your daughter and I will be named the number one scholar. No matter how excited you are, it's not too late!" Although Sheng Yuan couldn't control the corners of his mouth turning upward, she still couldn't help it. It's safe, and it's not like her father!
"Don't worry, don't worry!" Sheng Xiangxun happily waved his hand, "I'm not going too far! Don't you know that some noble children won the last place, and their families even held a big banquet to invite guests and friends! Our family is just a family that is busy here. Lively, it’s not too much!”
After he finished speaking, he thought of the "Huixilu" mentioned in the apricot list announcement, and couldn't help but want to be jealous.
"You ladies can hold it together, but I can't. I won't tell you anymore. I'll go to the Duke's Mansion and have a look!" Sheng Xiangxun was excited for a while, but when he didn't get the same response, he suddenly felt It’s not that satisfying, so I might as well show off to his father and brother!
As soon as he left the palace, six groups of people came out of the palace to celebrate.
Among them were those sent by the Empress Dowager Qin and Emperor Jinghe, some sent by Concubine Xie and Concubine An, and some arranged by the Second Prince and Sheng An.
Not one of the six groups of children came empty-handed, and soon, the small warehouse in Shengyuan was filled with another one.
"Look, this is called the book that has its own golden house, and the book that has its own millet!" Facing the nieces and nephews who came to congratulate her, Sheng Yuan pointed at these dazzling rewards and shouted loudly Inspire them.
She just hoped that her girls could be more involved in the fight for fame and wealth, but she didn't know that children were more innocent. Her words gave these little girls the idea that "being a member of society will make them rich."
Of course, even if Sheng Yuan knew this, he would probably acquiesce. After all, the motivational purpose was achieved!
