In short, in the eyes of the couple, Yu Qing's words meant that it would be no problem to win the top prize.
With such a good son-in-law, even if there is some pressure, it is worth it.
Putting aside the matter of the imperial examination, Wen Jianhui suddenly said: "Shiheng, I also like poetry. Can you take the time to write a few poems for me someday?"
Recently, the ladies who often interacted with her also came one after another, wanting to ask Huiyuan Lang for poems in person, and also to see what Huiyuan Lang looked like with a perfect score. However, Zhongsu was angry and would not let this mess happen before the palace examination. Yu Qing was disturbed by this matter, so those noble ladies had no choice but to entrust Wen Jianhui with the request for poems.
As soon as Zhong Su heard this, he knew what his wife was thinking, and his cheeks tightened. Sometimes he really didn't know what was going on in this woman's mind. She had just left the examination room, so even if she had to mention this, she still had to take a breath, right? It was inappropriate to argue in front of his prospective son-in-law, so he subconsciously watched Yu Qing's reaction.
Yu Qing was naturally speechless. There was a dead eunuch who asked for poems before, and he didn't know how to deal with it. Now here comes another person who wants a few poems. Will he let him live?
He was also easy to talk to, and he said with a smile, "Okay."
Wen Jianhui was naturally smiling.
However, a few people soon discovered that the carriage they were riding in was delayed in moving when they returned. When they opened the curtain and looked outside, they found that someone outside had deliberately blocked the road.
"Hui Yuanlang, come out."
"Huiyuan Lang showed up for me to see."
"Yes, we won't let Hui Yuan Lang pass by until we get a glimpse of his grace."
"come out."
"come out."
In the end, the shouts echoed throughout the scene, making Wen Jianhui's face pale with fright. She had never seen such a momentum before.
Zhong Su had a serious face.
Yu Qing leaned against the car and looked at the pattern on the roof of the carport expressionlessly. It didn't matter what was going on outside.
Fortunately, the court troops were nearby, and they did not dare to let anything happen to Yu Qing after hearing such a momentum. A group of troops came over quickly with swords and guns, drove away the people blocking the road, and opened the way for Zhongfu's carriage to escort. It was a false alarm.
This scene made the other tributes participating in the palace examination envious, and they wished that it was themselves who had been surrounded just now.
After the palace examination, the crowd outside the palace gradually dispersed, and all the candidates were looking forward to tomorrow's ranking on the gold list.
As usual, the results of the palace examination papers will be released today, and the gold list will be posted tomorrow.
It’s not as good as the general examination with tens of thousands of people taking part. With only 200 people taking reference and only one question, it’s not difficult to get the results on the same day...
"master."
"lady."
"Uncle."
This was the name Yu Qing heard all the way back to Zhong Mansion.
When the house was about to leave, Zhong Su invited again: "Now that the examination and the imperial examination have passed smoothly, you can finally breathe a sigh of relief. Let's set a table together as a family at noon to celebrate."
Wen Jianhui was also very enthusiastic, "Yes, yes, Shiheng, it is worth celebrating as a family."
Here we are deliberately bringing the young couple together to meet.
This was the first time the Zhong family had invited him. Yu Qing himself was almost speechless when he refused, so he simply said, "Uncle and aunt, the boy is unmarried and the girl is unmarried. It's better not to see each other for the time being."
When he said this, the couple felt a little embarrassed. It seemed like they didn't know etiquette, so they had no choice but to give up.
Yu Qing said goodbye and sighed in his heart. He didn't meet Ashheng's fiancée because he wanted to avoid suspicion. He couldn't explain other things, but he thought he could give Ashheng an explanation for this matter.
Zhong Su, who stopped to watch, said, "It seems we have thought too much."
They had been unable to invite her many times before, and it was not like they were being invited here. I had a vague feeling that Yu Qing was deliberately avoiding their daughter, but now I found out that this was the reason.
Wen Jianhui also nodded, "This scholar is very particular about etiquette."
Zhong Su immediately turned around and warned, "Since you know that people care about etiquette in this area, you have to take good care of your daughter. She should stay in her yard before getting married and try to avoid meeting other men. Don't be treated like a crazy woman. The second one is dragging her around so as not to be underestimated." Speaking of his youngest daughter, he even had a headache. He really didn't know which well-matched and decent family would dare to marry her.
"What do you think? I am in charge of both daughters..." Wen Jianhui complained.
In the east courtyard, as soon as Yu Qing came back, Chong'er, who was wiping the stone platform and table in the pavilion, immediately put down his work and ran over, "Young master is back, are you tired?"
"Tired, tired, not as easy as killing two people!" Yu Qing laughed at himself.
Chong'er thought he was joking.
Yu Qing walked under the eaves and sat directly on the steps, pointing to his shoulders.
Chong'er immediately climbed up to the higher step behind him and sat down. She rubbed her hands hard on her clothes and then put them on Yu Qing's shoulders to massage him.
The young junior uncle told him not to bully Chong'er, and even canceled his slave status and brought up some junior brother to create a relationship between his peers. If Yu Qing didn't accept this trick, the leader would be the leader.
Therefore, he decided from the beginning that he would not get used to Chong'er's problem and that he could not let Chong'er develop a situation where he relied on his junior uncle and ignored him as the leader, so he added some tasks to Chong'er.
So Chong Er, who usually only cleans the house, now also has to pinch Yu Qing's hands and feet, rub his shoulders and so on.
When Chong'er followed Xu Fei in the past, Xu Fei didn't do these tasks like a cow. In short, Yu Qing could now do whatever he could to do without moving, and he could do Chong'er in any way that made him feel comfortable.
But on the other hand, Chong'er came back to life. The previous sadness or embarrassment was gone. Her relationship with Yu Qing became closer again, and she gradually became happier day by day. It seemed that the more work she did, the happier she was. Similar.
Chong'er, who was squeezing his shoulders, asked with concern, "Sir, how did you go in the imperial examination?"
Yu Qing snorted, "How did you go in the exam? Don't you know how I passed the exam? It's not like you don't know how I passed the exam. You just have a little bit of copying skills."
Chong'er shook his head, "That's not what you said. I heard Mr. Xu say that even if the exam questions are made public, no one may be able to get a perfect score, so the young master's talent is obvious."
Yu Qing raised an arm and reached back, touched Chong'er's face, pinched Chong'er's nose and shook it vigorously, "Where's the brain? I've said it was copied. Talent belongs to others."
Chong'er, who couldn't breathe through his nose, said in a low voice, "Young Master is just keeping a low profile."
"Alas!" Yu Qing convinced him and let him go.
At this moment, Butler Li appeared from outside the door and strode over. Seeing this, Chong'er quickly stood up and bowed politely.
Yu Qing also stood up and cupped his hands.
Butler Li came over for nothing else. He also wanted to ask how the exam went, whether it was hard, and if there were any needs.
Seeing that nothing was wrong, he left the east courtyard and went directly to the inner house to find Zhong Su.
After inviting Mr. Zhong to the side, Butler Li whispered in a low voice: "Mr. Zhong, as usual, the results of the palace examination will be out tonight. We also have some connections in the palace. Do you want the helper to pay attention to it?"
After earning such a large fortune in the capital, the Zhong family knew more or less people in the palace, especially some of the eunuchs in charge of purchasing.
Mr. Zhong thought for a while, shook his head and said: "There is no need to create extraneous matters. Do you think that if we don't contact them, the people inside will not contact us? It is not a leak, there is no risk and there are benefits. Those eunuchs ran away Faster than anyone else. Don’t worry, as soon as Shiheng’s ranking results come out, someone will take the initiative to ask for rewards, so just be prepared to reward him with money."
Butler Li thought about it, and he laughed and said: "What the officer said makes sense. Well, I will wait for the news today. As soon as the news comes, I will notify the officer immediately."
They are all in a good mood. Those who have entered the tribute list are basically in an invincible position. It is nothing more than their ranking on the gold list. The performance of the prospective son-in-law of Pingzhong Mansion should not be much worse no matter how bad it is. of……
The moonlight is like water, and the palace city is towering.
The Taiping Hall, where the Jin Dynasty emperor handled government affairs, was brightly lit after nightfall and the atmosphere was unusual.
The imperial examination articles and the list of candidates are all there, and the top three rankings in this subject will be determined here.
The hall was sometimes quiet, and sometimes came the voices of the king and his ministers discussing, and the sound of registration papers being opened, and the name "Ashi Heng" was announced.
After a burst of praise, a young Huangmen who was listening outside the hall covered his stomach, went to the side to ask for leave from his classmates, saying that he had a stomachache and couldn't hold it in any longer, so he left first. After avoiding attention, Xiao Huangmen looked around and quickly headed towards the harem...
At night in the capital, where the lights are the brightest, there is the most prosperity.
Mei Sanghai, the minister of the Ministry of Industry in casual clothes, was sitting at his desk writing something in the study room, which was surrounded by the faint fragrance of trees.
The housekeeper Kong Shen hurriedly entered the study and waved directly to the maid who was waiting in the study at any time. The maid immediately left quietly.
Kong Shen walked to the desk, bent down, and reported: "Sir, word has spread from the palace. Although the list of the top three is still being negotiated, the result of 'Ashi Heng' has been taken first. It is the new subject of the undergraduate course." The top scholar. After His Majesty read the examination papers selected by the best, Ashheng's answers caught the eye of the Holy Spirit and was approved by His Majesty Chrysostom. It is said that after the examination, His Majesty admired the boy quite a lot and even prepared to marry him during the imperial examination. Answer correctly before."
The pen in Mei Sanghai's hand froze, and he frowned and muttered, "He won the first place in the general examination, and won the first place in the palace examination. Ajiezhang has trained a good son." He slowly placed the pen in his hand on the pen holder and leaned his back on the chair. , the whole person stared at the lamp and fell into deep contemplation, with a dark and uncertain look in his eyes.
After a while, he suddenly made a conclusion, "Someone is deceiving the Holy Spirit!"
Kong Shen asked hurriedly: "How?"
Mei Sanghai: "If no one deliberately conceals Ashiheng's origin, His Majesty will not like him even if he is not deposed. If no one deceives him, with His Majesty's ears and eyes, it is impossible not to know that he is Ajiezhang's son. son."
Kong Shen was startled, "Yes, there is someone helping behind the scenes!"
"So what about helping each other? It's just a weakling." Mei Sanghai said calmly, as if he had already made up his mind, and said calmly: "Ashiheng is the son of Ajiezhang. Ajiezhang was dismissed from office by His Majesty, which caused the family to be expelled." How can a person easily forget when he encounters a misfortune and is full of blood feuds? If he is grateful to His Majesty, is it true or false? If it is false, what is his intention? Go and make arrangements and ask your Majesty's senior companion to remind him, just like this."
