Ancient Imperial Examination Daily

Chapter 641 The Forced Kiss Comes to the Door
The test is the prelude to the palace test.Although it is said that if you pass the test, you will basically become a Jinshi, but isn't there still the word "basic"?

In the past, there were candidates who knew that they would pass the test. Not only did they have a big feast at home, but they were also frivolous and self-indulgent outside.The matter reached the emperor's ears, and the emperor wrote it down in a small notebook. In the final palace examination, he lost his name to Sun Shan.Not only was this examinee happy for nothing, but he was also rumored to be a laughing stock, and he was ashamed to see others.

So from then on, the candidates who passed the examination all behaved with their tails between their legs, not daring to show the slightest frivolity.

Du Jinning didn't say anything, she has always been a low-key person, and at home she kept talking about what she said.As long as there is one order, go up to the Chen family and down to Yao Shuqi, and they will all carry out her orders thoroughly.

Even the Qi family is like this.

Although many officials or aristocratic families would like to take this opportunity to flatter Qi Bokun and take the opportunity to offer a generous gift, it is obviously unwise to come to congratulate at such a time, that is to flatter Qi Bokun on the horse's leg.

So everyone suppressed the desire to come to congratulate//desire.

Hong Huazhong, the political adviser of Zhongshu Province, was not included.

On the day when the list was released, he went to the Qi Mansion in a carriage, and smiled and said to Qi Bokun, "Congratulations, Xiaoyuan is a promising kid. He was awarded Jinshi at such a young age, and he even passed the No. 3, Are you old man smiling from ear to ear?"

"Hahaha..." In front of his old friend, Qi Bokun didn't hide his happiness, "Isn't it? I'm naturally happy that this kid is doing well."

The two entered the hall and were divided into the guest of honor, Hong Huazhong asked the servant to present a gift: "I can't be stingy, I can't be stingy. This inkstone is a good thing I found a few years ago, and I gave it to Xiaoyuan for the examination. A gift from him. If he can get into the first rank in the imperial examination, I have something good for him.”

"You are willing to sell this thing? Then I want to thank you on Xiaoyuan's behalf." Qi Bokun unceremoniously reached out to take the thing, looked at and touched it, and couldn't put it down.

Hong Huazhong likes antiques. Apart from government affairs, his only hobby is shopping around.He often plays with this inkstone, like a treasure that no one will touch.As his old friend, Qi Bokun knew how much he valued this inkstone.

Seeing that he was willing to give it to Qi Muyuan now, he naturally wanted to accept it.

After playing with it for a while, Qi Bokun put the inkstone into the brocade box, and ordered the servants to say: "Go, call the young master, and tell him that Grandpa Hong is here, and ask him to come out to meet him."

"Don't, don't, the child is still preparing for the palace exam, so don't bother him. If someone comes, just see him. If he comes, he will see him. How can he study with peace of mind?" Hong Huazhong hurriedly stopped him.

At Qi Bokun's level, he has been an official all his life and played tricks all his life. As soon as he heard Hong Huazhong say this, he knew that he was here for drunkenness.

He pointed at Hong Huazhong and scolded with a smile: "Okay, old man Hong, I knew you would go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing. Come on, send such a good thing, if you have anything to ask of me, just say it. Take advantage of my mood Well, maybe think about it more."

"Hahaha, of course it's a good thing. It's not a good thing, why should I bother you at this time?" Hong Huazhong stroked his beard and smiled.

Qi Bokun vaguely guessed his purpose, and a smile appeared on his face.

But he didn't point it out, but changed the subject, pointed to the dim sum that the servant girl had just put on the table and said, "This is a newly developed dim sum by my cook, try it and see if it's better than the dim sum made by your cook."

Seeing this, Hong Huazhong secretly scolded "Old Fox" in his heart.

The two had revealed before that they wanted to marry the children of the two families.Qi Bokun agreed with it at first, but after a while he said that the child is still young, and he will wait until Qi Muyuan is admitted to Jinshi before discussing marriage.

At that time, the situation was not stable, and neither of them knew who would ascend to the throne in the end, and what would happen to the two families. Hong Huazhong let this matter go because his granddaughter was not very old.

Now that the new emperor has secured his position, Qi Bokun's family is in full swing, he himself is steadily doing political affairs as a second-rank official, and Qi Muyuan has also been admitted to Jinshi, so this marriage can be put on the agenda again.

Hong Huazhong's side is the woman, so he wants to be more reserved.But Qi Bokun is the number one celebrity in front of the new emperor, Qi Muyuan is so good, and the Qi family's family style is so upright, how many people are crying and wanting to send their daughters into Qi's mansion to be their granddaughter-in-law, he can't even put on airs.No, he didn't even dare to wait for the time for Qi Muyuan to finish the imperial examination, and rushed to the door after passing the examination.

"It's what I mentioned to you the year before last." He said, "At that time, the situation was unstable and the children were young, so we made an appointment to put the marriage aside. Now that the political situation is stable and the children are grown up, you Jia Xiaoyuan has also been admitted to Jinshi, I wondered, let them book the marriage after Xiaoyuan's palace exam is over?"

"This..." Qi Bokun pondered, and didn't speak immediately.

He and Hong Huazhong were good friends when they were young, and they were classmates for a while, and they had similar temperaments.Later, they also supported each other in the officialdom, and now both of them are considered to be at the pinnacle of power and have achieved great success.Although Hong Huazhong was more romantic, he had many wives and concubines in his family, as well as many children.But it was also true, one or two of his sons were very capable, anyway, Qi Bokun was more pleasing to the eye than his own stupid son.

The granddaughter Hong Huazhong mentioned was the daughter of his most capable second son, and her maternal grandfather's family was also powerful.This girl has been working with her parents in other places, she has seen many worlds, and it is said that she is talented and good-looking.Qi Bokun also met her when she was seven or eight years old. She was a lovely girl carved in pink and jade, and she was very generous at a young age.Qi Bokun was quite satisfied with the girl and her family background.

Seeing that Qi Bokun didn't agree immediately, Hong Huazhong's face sank.

His granddaughter is also a top existence, so she doesn't worry about marriage at all.The reason why he let go of his reserve and came to propose marriage was because he and Qi Bokun were old friends, so he didn't care about trivial matters, and at the same time, he also liked that child Qi Muyuan very much.But this does not mean that he asked Qi Bokun to agree to the marriage.Not only would he lose face if he forced it, but the child's future life would also be difficult.

He stood up with a "thump", and said with a calm face: "If you are in trouble, just pretend that I didn't say what I just said. That's fine, I still have something to do, so I will leave first."

"Hey, don't worry." Qi Bokun knew at the first sight that his old friend had misunderstood him, so he quickly grabbed Hong Huazhong, "Listen to me."

Hong Huazhong didn't sit down, but he was not in a hurry to leave either. He stood there with the attitude that if you want to talk, you can talk, and if you don't, I'll leave.

Qi Bokun had no choice but to say: "It's like this. At the beginning, I mentioned marriage with Xiaoyuan, but he didn't agree, and begged me repeatedly to say that I would be admitted to Jinshi. I agreed to him at that time. You also know that the child is usually quiet , but it’s hard to make up your mind. After all, this is his lifelong event, so it’s not good for me to agree directly without discussing it with him. But at this time, it’s not good for you to ask me to ask his opinion. After all, he still has to concentrate on preparing for the imperial examination , it’s not good to disturb the mind.”

"So..." He looked at Hong Huazhong with earnest eyes, "Will you wait a few more days, after Xiaoyuan finishes the palace exam, I will discuss this matter with him again? I promise you, during this time, I will never consider it." Don't go home, can you see it?"

Hong Huazhong saw Qi Bokun's sincere attitude, and Qi Bokun didn't need to perfuse him in this matter - if he didn't like it, he just refused politely, and there was no need to procrastinate.Besides, Hong Huazhong felt that apart from the princess, there was no other girl who was as good a match as Qi Muyuan's granddaughter.Even if there is, it is not a camp.

He nodded and said, "Then I'll wait. After Xiaoyuan finishes the exam and you discuss it, write me a letter."

"Okay, okay." Qi Bokun agreed wholeheartedly.

　There is no third update today, so don't wait.

　　In addition, I would like to recommend a relaxed and refreshing article, Maizimi's "Rebirth of a Violent Female Schoolmaster", a military favorite article in the late 90s.The heroine's personality is very pleasing, cute and cute, she has great fists and feet, ahem, and she is still a little pervert.The male lead is aloof, handsome, doting on his wife and crazy.There are suspense and abilities, but the cheat is not big, if you are interested, you can take a look
