After the first assistant's wife is reborn

After Xia Sichan went to her mother's house, she wrote congratulatory letters to her two elder brothers when she came back.

After the letter she wrote was handed over to Wei Ziqian, it was sent through official channels, and it would reach the hands of the two brothers very quickly.

Ding Siyu and Cui Yuan, who originally wanted to do business, will also participate in Chunwei this year.

Wei Ziqian also made a decision after careful consideration and advised them to participate in this year's Spring Festival.

Both of them are candidates, so it's a pity not to take the exam.

It was inconvenient for him to come out in person, so he asked Jiang Yuetong to have a long night with the two of them separately, and then he nodded and agreed to enter the examination room.

Wei Ziqian originally wanted to follow the wishes of the two young people and follow the way of doing business.

However, looking at the children of the aristocratic families today, it is rare to find a few outstanding ones among the descendants of the Qingliu noble family.

In addition, four or five aristocratic families were wiped out last year. Don't think about it, it is impossible for their children to participate in the imperial examination.

Needless to say, it is rare for the children of aristocratic families to take the exam this year.

Even if there are several candidates, it is difficult to have outstanding ones.

The students in the Guozijian are also infrequent. There are quite a few students under the age of 15, but students under the age of seventeen or eighteen are very rare.

Wei Ziqian knew that his brother-in-law and Cui Ergongzi were also top-notch scholars in the Guozijian. It is a pity that such an educated student gave up the imperial examination and could not contribute to the country!

If all the children from the poor family and the common people were recruited this time, in the next few years, these children from the poor family and the common people would become the pillars of the court.

In this way, the forces of the DPRK and China will definitely be out of balance.

It was neither the emperor's wish nor the courtiers' wish.

It is said that children from poor families and common people have their abilities and limitations, and children from aristocratic families also have their advantages and styles.

Several forces cannot be out of balance, and they must complement each other in order to govern a country to prosperity.

What Chen Xiao wants is not to check and balance each other, but to complement each other!

Xia Sichan saw that this was the first time that Xianggong personally presided over the imperial examination, and she was very curious about the questioning of the imperial examination.

After dinner, I asked Wei Ziqian for advice: "Master, are you writing the exam questions alone or several people together?"

Wei Ziqian couldn't help pursing his lips and said with a smile: "Silly Chan, as for the exam questions, Min Yunzhang invited famous Confucian scholars in the court, senior officials of the Ministry of Rites, Guozijian Jijiu, and the emperor himself, a total of eight people, and each of them gave two questions. On the eve of the exam, In front of all the ministers, Min Yunzhang selected two questions in public for this year's scientific examination questions, one of which is the main paper and the other is the supplementary paper, if the questions are leaked before the exam, the supplementary paper will be used."

Xia Sichan thought to herself: Hey, hey, I'm afraid no one would dare to vent the question like this.

At this moment, only her and his wife were left in the dormitory, Xia Sichan went to the carved pineapple coffee table, poured him a cup of tea and brought it over to moisten his throat: "Master, drink tea."

Wei Ziqian took the teacup with one hand and embraced the person with the other, hugged him on his lap, and said with a smile on his lips, "Thank you Ma'am."

This 'Ma'am' made Xia Sichan's face turn red.

Wei Ziqian drank half a cup of tea slowly, put down the azure plum blossom teacup, and continued: "When the questions were drawn, officials from all ministries were present. We don't know whose questions were drawn. Those who asked the questions were all detained in the palace compound before the end of the scientific examination, and these were strictly kept secret."

"When the first emperor was in power, cabinet ministers also participated in writing the test questions. Later, there was a big fraud case. In order to prevent the cabinet ministers from forming a party for personal gain and leaking the examination questions in private, the first emperor expressly prohibited the cabinet ministers from writing the test questions."

Although Emperor Hui'an was a mediocre emperor who did nothing, he still attached great importance to the imperial examination.

After all, it is about the future of the Dao Kingdom, and about his country.It is related to the future generations of his descendants!
How can we not deal with it strictly?

After Wei Ziqian finished speaking, he looked at the little wife in his arms, with a pair of watery black eyes, and showed admiration to him: "Master, Chan'er remembered that I saw you when you were the No. [-] scholar parading the streets that year! "

The year Wei Ziqian won the first prize, Xia Sichan, who was thirteen or fourteen years old, was different from other girls. At her age, other girls were already in love, but she was still an ignorant little girl who only cared about playing.

On that day, Ding originally took her and Xia Siyu to watch Xinke Zhuangyuan Lang play horses in the street, but Xia Sichan's grandfather promised to take her to the suburban racecourse to learn horseback riding that day. She would rather go out of the city with her grandfather to learn how to ride a horse. I would like to see the new champion Lang who is said to have the appearance of a fairy.

When she was returning to the city, she just happened to be riding on a big white horse, the handsome Zhuangyuan Lang turned his horse's head back to the palace, so she could only take a look at it in time, and she seemed to shout at that time: "Huh? Zhuangyuan Lang is so handsome!"

"Oh? Really? Didn't expect Chan'er to be her husband at such a young age?" Wei Ziqian said with deep eyes and a hoarse voice.

His family, Chan'er, fell in love with him when she was not only thirteen or fourteen years old, but when she was eight or nine years old, she even said she wanted to be his "lame lady".
No wonder you want to throw yourself in the arms when you grow up.

"Well"

While Xia Sichan's lips were being kissed, she suddenly felt her body hanging in the air, and was picked up by Wei Ziqian and placed directly on the bed.Immediately, the golden hook was raised, and the bed curtain was lowered, covering the whole room.
······
In a blink of an eye, it was Chunwei, the ninth day of February.

The sun was shining brightly this day, and the air was very fragrant.

Xia Sichan woke up early to go to the Gong Yuan to send her third brother into the examination room.

It is said that she has never sent her relatives to the imperial examination in her two lifetimes, and she thought that she would have to wait until she gave birth to a son before she could experience such a blessing.

Unexpectedly, the third brother who planned to give up the imperial examination would actually pass the exam, which is really a great joy.

Put on a set of festive crimson embroidered peony brocade wide-sleeved gown, a ten-panel moon skirt underneath, a flying fairy bun, a ruby ​​jade hairpin, and a pair of soft cloud-bottomed bead shoes under the skirt. Cong Li.

After breakfast, he took little Shen Rong into the carriage and drove towards the Gongyuan.

She was worried that there would be too many people and no place to park the carriage when she went late.

Along the way, little Shen Rong was very happy, chatting non-stop in his little mouth, and the little guy spoke more fluently than before.

Unexpectedly, it was too late to start, and the gate of the Gongyuan was already crowded with people.

Except for the examinees, most of them are family members and servants who sent the exams.

Because Chunwei had a total of nine days of exams, divided into three sessions, and each session had to be tested for three consecutive days, so no matter who sent the exam or the examinee himself, he had to carry luggage and eat in his hands. Of course, the most important thing was the four treasures of the study.

The carriage stopped with a squeak, and Ma Guichun, who was driving the carriage, said to Xia Sichan who was looking out through the curtain: "Young Mistress, please stop the carriage here."

"Okay." Xia Sichan nodded.

Lu Tao got out of the carriage first, took Xiao Shen Rong and held her in his arms, Xia Sichan stood on the horse stool and helped Lu Tao's arm to get out of the carriage. (end of this chapter)
