Missy, she always does not seek to make progress 2

In the second year of Kangping, Emperor Kangping set up a special imperial examination to recruit talented people. At the end of March, the results of the special imperial examination were announced. The good news was sent to the Qin Mansion, and the Qin family cried with joy.

As Qin Liuxi's main family, they learned the whole story of the God-Slaying War from Qingping Temple. Compared to the outside world, they naturally know it best. They also know what their child, to whom they owe the most, has paid for the people of this world.

But the Qin family did not hold a funeral, just like the people in Qingping Temple. They knew she was gone, but they would rather believe that she was just traveling far away and her return date was uncertain.

They just subconsciously wore plain clothes, did not hold a wedding banquet, and did not attend banquets in other prefectures. Fortunately, the war had left the territory of Da'an in ruins, with many people dead. The city of Shengjing was also filled with gloom and no powerful people held a wedding.

After all, the saints suffered heavy losses in that battle.

At the Qin Mansion, when Old Master Qin heard the news, he fell ill on the bed. Even Aunt Wang and Aunt Wan fell ill. In the past few months, there has been no laughter in the Qin family, only depression. They urgently need some good news to dispel the gloom.

Qin Mingyan took part in this special examination and passed the imperial examination. The good news was reported to the palace, and everyone finally had a smile on their face.

Wang said to Qin Mingyan with relief: "Go and tell your elder sister the good news. She should be very happy."

Qin Mingyan nodded.

He walked out of the main courtyard, and Qin Mingchun followed him, walking side by side with him. The two brothers talked as they walked.

"Second brother, which government office are you going to?"

Qin Mingyan said: "Even if I pass the imperial examination, I still have to wait for my assignment. However, I'm afraid I can't report to any government office this year."

"Why?"

Qin Mingyan sighed helplessly: "Grandfather probably won't survive this year."

Qin Mingchun was startled, lowered his head, tears falling, and said, "Does this mean that someone in our family is going to die again?"

Qin Mingyan's steps froze for a moment, his nose felt a little sour, and he put his hand on his shoulder and said, "Grandfather is old, and he suffered a lot in the northwest. If it weren't for my eldest sister, I'm afraid he would have passed away long ago."

"Wow, I miss my elder sister." Qin Mingchun's tears fell like beads from a broken string, and she cried, "Will she never come back?"

Qin Mingyan's eyes were red. He raised his head and looked at the sky. He held back his tears and said in a hoarse voice, "No."

Such a good person, with extraordinary abilities, she will definitely return like a king.

The two of them arrived at the West Garden and happened to see the twin brothers Ping An walking over in black martial arts uniforms. When they saw the two of them, they hurried forward and greeted them in unison: "Second brother, fifth brother."

"You have finished your martial arts training, why are you here?" Qin Mingyan looked at the twins who looked exactly like calves, and couldn't help but act like the eldest brother.

Ever since my second uncle's family was exiled by my grandfather, my eldest brother got married and became an official with the title of a juren, and was also exiled. Now, only the first and third wives are left in the house, and he also considers himself the eldest brother.

The two brothers looked at each other and smiled, "We learned that our second brother passed the imperial examination and we will definitely come to inform our eldest sister, so we came here."

Qin Mingyan's eyes warmed up and he said, "Then let's go in together."

Several people entered the West Garden together and came to the west wing. There was an incense hall here, and a portrait of Qin Liuxi was hung in the middle. The girl had a bright smile and a proud look in her eyes, looking at them with a smile.

After looking at the portrait, the brothers' faces became solemn. They each took a piece of incense, lit it, bowed respectfully three times, and placed the incense in the incense burner. When they looked up again, no matter who they were, there was sadness in their eyes.

Qin Mingyan stepped forward and bowed, smiling and said, "Sister, I have passed the imperial examination. Don't worry. With us brothers, the Qin family will not fall." Qin Mingchun also stepped forward and said, "As for me, although I am only a scholar, I will definitely follow my second brother's example and protect the Qin family together."

"And us." The twins stepped forward together and said, "We will also do our best."

The sandalwood rose up slowly, blurring the girl in the portrait, but her smile was very real.

Qin Mingyan had never expected that he, a mere Jinshi, would be summoned by the saint.

Seeing the young and talented man who seemed a little reserved, Qi Qian smiled and said, "When you followed Changkong, you also assisted me. We have a special bond. Now that you have passed the imperial examination and are a disciple of the emperor, we are already familiar with each other. You don't have to be so reserved. Let's just talk freely."

Qin Mingyan was stunned for a moment, then he bowed and said, "Your Majesty, etiquette cannot be abolished."

He had heard about the relationship between the monarch and his subjects from Mr. Changkong. The monarch is the monarch and the subjects are the subjects. If they don't put themselves in the right positions and always use feelings as an excuse, even the best feelings will fade and may even bring about fatal disaster.

Now that he is a minister, he must correct himself.

Qi Qian was somewhat helpless and said, "Forget it. Now that you have passed the imperial examination, have you thought about which government office you will go to? Or do you still like investigating cases like before?"

Qin Mingyan was a little hesitant. Did this mean that he could choose?

Seeing that he seemed to be hesitant, Qi Qian said, "Don't worry, just say it. Your elder sister and I are close friends for life and death. I will always take care of her family."

Qin Mingyan noticed his address and was somewhat moved, but he didn't show it on his face, so he said, "Your Majesty, if possible, I would like to go to the Dali Temple or the Ministry of Justice. However, my grandfather is old and not in good health. He is often in a coma now. The imperial physician also said that... If I am appointed as an official, I am afraid I won't be able to take up the position for a while."

Qi Qian understood and said, "You don't have to worry about this. In fact, the evil spirit came to the world last year, causing chaos in the world. Now is the critical moment to quickly restore vitality and rebuild everything. I have already discussed with the Ministry of Personnel. I plan to deprive officials who have lost their families due to natural disasters."

Qin Mingyan was a little surprised.

Qi Qian smiled bitterly and said, "If you go out, you will find out how serious the chaos is. Now is the time when we need a lot of manpower, so we have to deal with urgent matters urgently."

Qin Mingyan knelt down, cupped his hands and said, "Student is willing to plead for the people."

"Okay, go home and wait. Once there are any deficiencies in these two parts, the order will be passed on to the Qin family."

"Sir, obey the order."

Qin Mingyan bowed and stepped back, without any intention of trying to maintain old friendship, and soon left the Qinzheng Hall.

Qi Qian murmured, "He has some of your character, and should be able to support a family."

The imperial edict was quickly delivered to the Qin family. Qin Mingyan was appointed as the head of the Ministry of Justice and was promoted to the sixth rank. This starting point was considered extremely high among all the Jinshi scholars. Jealous and envious eyes were cast on him, and they all asked him to treat them to a meal.

Qin Mingyan did invite everyone, but the banquet he invited everyone to was a plain banquet.

Because his grandfather Qin Yuanshan passed away on the third day after Qin Mingyan was appointed to office, the whole family mourned.
