Liu Dashao lay on the bed sighing. He always felt that he had fallen into a misunderstanding. As for what this misunderstanding was, he did not dare to think about it, because he always felt that it was Qi Yun who told him that the format when writing the scriptures was wrong. Coming out will affect the relationship between husband and wife.
After thinking about it, I still feel that I shouldn't have failed. Could it be that Liu Song really made a mistake? He lost his mind when he heard about it and didn't think about it properly.
The second thing is the old man's behavior. It doesn't look like he did it deliberately to comfort himself. At least based on my long-term understanding of the old man, he is not such a person. The smile on his face that looks like a chrysanthemum does not seem to be fake.
Young Master Liu rested his head on Qi Yun's lap, hesitated for a moment and then asked: "Madam, do you think the old man's expression looks like there is some big happy event in the family?"
Qi Yun turned her head. She was also a very smart woman, otherwise she would not be called a talented girl in Jinling. After a moment, she nodded: "Husband, it is indeed like this. Although dad is not strict with you, he is not so attentive. But, let’s have a feast. Is there anything in the house that’s worthy of a feast?”
Young Master Liu suddenly sat up, sat cross-legged and said decisively: "High school!"
Qi Yun frowned: "Husband, didn't you mean..."
"I was too nervous at the time. After all, it was my first time to experience the imperial examination. I lost my mind because I cared too much about it. Now that I think about it carefully, even if there is something wrong with the meaning of the classics, with Su Dasi... Well, Depending on my husband's ability to compose poems, even if he is not in the top grade of B, he will definitely be in the top grade of B. I am also very confident in the policy analysis part. Supposedly, I can get the rank of top grade B. According to the rules of the imperial examination, the two exams should be in the top grade of B. It’s already within the scope of selecting electors, right?”
"Husband, do you mean that you really can make Daddy so happy by ranking in the top ten?"
"It's not easy for me to jump to conclusions. Madam, are you sure that the format of the scriptures and meanings you told me is correct?"
"Husband, after each imperial examination, the test papers of the successful candidates will be posted for all candidates to see. I have also read the test papers of several times, how could I get it wrong?"
Liu Dashao lowered his hands suddenly: "That's right. My husband is definitely in high school, and he is still among the top ten. Think carefully about what the old man said. You have worked hard these days to take the imperial examination. Take a good rest. If I If I really fail, the old man will definitely not mention the imperial examination just to comfort me."
Qi Yun nodded angrily on Young Master Liu's forehead: "It's not your fault. You should have told Liu Song to look at the list. If you make yourself look like you are dying, who should you blame!" "
"Hehe... The main thing is that the old man put too much pressure on him. Life in the Liu family is not that easy." Liu Mingzhi felt melancholy again, but this time there was no problem with the imperial examination.
When Qi Yun heard her husband talking about the Liu family, she took the initiative to say that this was not a topic she could participate in.
"Husband, for the sake of stability, I'd better send someone to Gongyuan to have a look. Only when they really see it will they feel at ease."
"No need, there must be someone in this mansion who knows the result. The old man's influence in Aurous Hill must have been fully investigated for a long time. There is no need for us to ask people to go there."
"Ask who?"
Young Master Liu whispered something into Qi Yun's ear.
Qi Yun rolled her eyes: "Mother doesn't love you more than she loves me. Don't you know that your daughter-in-law and mother-in-law have always been enemies? You actually asked me to go around and find excuses for my mother."
Liu Mingzhi scratched his head in embarrassment: "Aren't you afraid of being embarrassed? Besides, if the old man knew that I went to the Gongyuan to look at the rankings but didn't know my ranking, he would definitely laugh out loud. It's best for you, a filial daughter-in-law, to go. .”
"You can say nice things."
Mr. Liu hugged his wife and kissed her hard: "Who makes my wife so considerate?"
No one doesn't like to hear sweet words, especially young people who have just gotten married... Young newlyweds like this the most: "Wait, husband, please listen to daddy and have a good rest. Your nerves are too tight." It's not good for your health." After saying that, Qi Yun walked out of the room with her increasingly slim body.
Liu Zhi'an was writing a letter home to his sister Liu Ying in the study. Liu Yuan knocked on the door and informed him that Qi Run, the governor of Jinling, was visiting.
Liu Yuan was worthy of being an old butler, a person who matured with age. Qi Run paid him a visit. Saying that he was visiting him was a bit lowering Qi Run's status. In any case, he must be the governor of Jinling, a feudal official of a state, and he belongs to the master. In-laws, asking for a meeting also lowered Qi Run's status out of thin air, and visiting was the best way to talk.
Liu Zhi'an was stunned for a moment and put down the pen in his hand: "He also got the news..." Liu Zhi'an paused and patted his head: "I have forgotten that my in-laws are the examiners this year. One, no one can get the news earlier than him. Please, open the middle door and come to the main hall."
Liu Zhi'an stood outside the main hall, waiting for Qi Run's arrival. Sure enough, Qi Run's hearty laughter could be heard from afar before he arrived: "I'm older, so my in-laws have been kept waiting for a long time."
Qi Run's voice appeared on the steps facing the main hall, followed by a young figure. It was Qi Liang, Mr. Liu's brother-in-law. Qi Liang's face was a little red, an unnatural red, and he held his hands He was walking behind Qi Run with two gift boxes.
Liu Zhi'an also raised his hand to compliment: "What did my parents say? I should be ashamed of being unwelcome. Please sit inside."
"In-laws, please come first."
Liu Zhi'an smiled calmly: "We two old guys should stop being so polite and invite us."
After the two old foxes sat down according to order, Liu Zhi'an ordered Liu Yuan to let his servants brew some Jinshan Yunwu and bring it up. The status of Qi Run's governor and his in-laws deserved his service with Jinshan Yunwu.
Qi Run sighed slightly: "My in-laws really have a big business. This old man Jinshan Yunwu once had the honor to drink a cup of tribute tea at King Huainan's house. Unexpectedly, my in-laws also have stock."
"Oh, I spent a lot of money. I don't have any other hobbies. I only like to drink some tea and so on. It's good to wake up to the gods. My relatives are also aware of the affairs of the Liu family. There are too many accounts. I don't want to drink some tea. He gets distracted easily, and his smell of copper makes his in-laws laugh."
"We are all in-laws. There is nothing funny about it. Being able to accumulate such a large family property is also your ability. You are the number one scholar in three hundred and sixty industries. Your in-laws are the number one scholar in the business world. Speaking of which, you are better than me. How much more powerful is this second-class Jinshi?"
"It's better than impossible. Since my in-laws are also tea lovers, I will instruct my servants to bring two taels of tea to my in-laws. Please don't be offended if there is less."
Qi Run hurriedly waved his hand: "No, no, as the saying goes, no reward comes without merit. Today I can drink a cup of Jinshan Yunwu and I will be satisfied. How can I accept such a precious gift just for the sake of words?"
It was natural for Qi Run to be so panicked. According to the laws of the Dalong Dynasty, officials who accepted bribes exceeding two hundred taels of silver for no reason were moved to the left; those who accepted more than five hundred taels of silver were dismissed from office; those who exceeded one thousand taels of silver were confiscated and imprisoned; those who exceeded 10,000 taels of silver were escorted back to Beijing for trial by the Third Division and those found to be true were exiled.
Although Jinshan Yunwu is not a treasure of gold and silver, two taels of tea leaves are worth no less than ten thousand taels of silver. This is tribute tea, which has been somewhat precious since ancient times. Qi Run does not have the courage to risk being exiled thousands of miles for the sake of his lust.
