Xie Ronlang won the imperial examination last year, and his ranking was not bad, he was in the top ten.
Xie Ronlang is really determined to win this year's examination.
Xie Ronghui has been practicing abroad for several years, and his temperament has become more and more stable. Xie Xiuwen is very satisfied with him. When he becomes an official in the future, he will definitely be able to rise steadily even if his official position is not high.
There were two people in the family who were going to take the examination. Everyone in the Xie family was quite nervous. However, Xie Xiuwen told them not to pay too much attention and do whatever they had to do. Don't think that if they couldn't win the tribute, it would be like studying in vain.
Liu Ruolan, on the other hand, was only thinking about helping them recuperate their bodies. She would have soup today and breast milk tomorrow. Anyway, she was just trying different ways to help them eat well and have a good rest.
On the day when the exam started, Xie Rongzhao also specially came to see his brother and A Lang pay tribute to the courtyard.
There will be three exams, each lasting three days.
By the time all three exams were completed, Xie Ronlang felt that half of his life was gone.
He still insists on practicing martial arts, but he still feels a little unbearable, let alone other weak scholars.
Xie Ronghui barely persisted until the end. He felt that even if he was allowed to stay in there for one more hour, he would faint.
Both of them finished the questions and wrote all the articles they should write. The brothers simply couldn't adapt to this tense atmosphere.
As soon as Xie Ronghui came out, someone helped him and took him to the carriage. Then he drank a bowl of hot soup, warmed his hands, etc. Not to mention how thoughtful he was.
As soon as Xie Ronlang came out, he was afraid that others would restrict his freedom again, so he finally had the opportunity to stretch his arms and legs. If he stayed any longer, he felt that he would become a useless person.
Therefore, the waste that two people feel is completely different.
Xie Ronlang has been a person who has relied on fighting to survive since he was a child. Later, even after being enlightened by Xie Xiuwen, he still didn't lose his skills. He and Xie Rongen fought against each other, and the two of them could not tell the winner for half an hour.
For such a martial arts and active person, if you let him sit in the cell for three days without being able to move, it would be strange if he didn't feel uncomfortable.
Xie Ronghui came out looking really pale. Fortunately, he had already finished the exam and was waiting for the results.
After the two returned home, they had a good meal and then fell asleep.
I really couldn't sleep well in the room, and I had to worry about whether I overslept. In addition, the room was not soundproof, and I could hear other people snoring. How could I sleep well?
The days waiting for the results are the most anxious.
Xie Ronghui almost never leaves the house.
Xie Ronlang, on the other hand, is like a little cock that has let loose the gate, running around everywhere and staying away from home every day. Today he drinks with his classmates and tomorrow he enjoys the scenery with the teacher. Anyway, he is not idle.
Xie Rongzhao also saw it. Xie Ronlang had no pressure and it didn't matter what he got in the exam. Anyway, he was still young, only nineteen, so he would have opportunities in the future.
But Xie Ronghui is different.
He is the eldest son, and he is several years older than them. In the last examination, Cheng Jingzhou, who was younger than him, won the first prize. As the elder brother-in-law, he was three years late. If he failed again, he would always feel that Too embarrassed to see anyone.
Too much pressure is not a good thing.
Even if you are selected as a Gongsheng student, there will still be a palace examination later.
Although winning Gongsheng is basically a guarantee, there are a few who fail every year.
This has a great relationship with psychological quality.
Xie Xiuwen also tried to enlighten Xie Ronghui twice. The effect was not very obvious, but it could be seen that he was more relaxed than before.
Xie Rongzhao gave Chen Jiaojiao advice and asked him to take care of his children in the yard. Now that his children were running all over the floor, he asked him to read and write with him. As long as he didn't think about rankings, he could relax.
Sure enough, it still works.
The examination results were released. Except for Xie Xiuwen, the rest of the Xie family were sitting in the front hall waiting for the news.
Xie Rongzhao came over early in the morning. Even though Cheng Jingzhou told her not to worry too much, as her father-in-law would definitely find out the news in advance, Xie Rongzhao still returned to her parents' home very much looking forward to it and nervously.
Liu Ruolan didn't listen at all this time.
Xie Xiuwen is busy now. He is selecting ministers to send to the border. He can't finish his own work, so how can he have time to inquire about other things?
And not only is he busy, the Ministry of Finance and the Ministry of Work are also extremely busy. If it weren't for the exam, the Ministry of Etiquette would probably be the busiest.
Fortunately, the expected results are still very gratifying.
Xie Ronghui won the 78th place. This ranking is not very good. If he performs stably in the palace examination, he can at least enter the second class. But if he is not careful, he may be squeezed out of the second class.
Xie Ronlang's ranking was good, sixth in the general examination.
This result is very impressive.
After all, Xie Ronlang is only nineteen this year. With this ranking, if he performs well in the palace examination, it is possible to advance to the first class.
Regardless of their ranking, it was a great joy for the brothers to pass the examination this time. As soon as Liu Ruolan was happy, she immediately announced that the servants in the government would each receive double their monthly salary.
The palace examination will take a few days to give everyone time to prepare.
Xie Ronlang's ranking should be stable for Jinshi.
Xie Ronghui's ranking was slightly worse. After Xie Xiuwen came back in the evening, he called people to the study. I don't know what the father and son talked about. Anyway, when Xie Ronghui came out again, he looked much more relaxed.
As long as they are not the same Jinshi, it doesn't really matter whether the second class ranks higher or lower.
After all, when people ask you where you are from, they won't care how many places you got in the exam. Unless you are in the top three, there is no need.
Xie Ronlang was called over by Xie Xiuwen for questioning the next night. Xie Ronlang was talented, but his temperament was still a bit sharp and needed to be polished. So after Xie Xiuwen asked him about his homework, he asked him some things about the imperial examination. .
I shuddered at the last moment, but I couldn't make any more mistakes.
On the day of the imperial examination, Emperor Jingwen came in person, but Xie Xiuwen did not go to avoid suspicion and was busy working in his own yamen.
Xie Xiuwen was very satisfied with the final result.
Xie Ronghui was born as a second-class Jinshi, and his ranking was better than that in the joint examination, 61st.
Xie Rongrang is the man who discovered the beauty, and was given the rank of Jinshi, and he also had to parade with the number one scholar and the number two scholar.
This ranking is very flattering to Xie Xiuwen.
Xie Xiuwen was ranked second in the rankings back then, but now his son is a prodigy, and he is a successful young man. He is simply a sure winner in life!
An official from the Ministry of Rites reminded him: "Your Majesty, Mr. Xie is a three-level Jinshi, and he is a model for scholars in our dynasty!"
Emperor Jingwen then remembered that it was rare for ordinary people to have two Jinshi in one discipline, let alone three Jinshi in one discipline.
"reward!"
Because he was a third-level Jinshi, Emperor Jingwen specially issued a decree to award Liu Ruolan with a plaque. Not only that, he also greatly praised Liu Ruolan. (End of chapter)
