Chapter 1488
When Xiao Jing and Li Zongting went to the Su family to congratulate them, they saw Yuan Zhi's gloomy expression.

It's just that neither of these two people is a talkative person, and no one took the initiative to ask a question.

It was only later that the family went home after dinner. On the way home, they heard their wives explain the reasons for the incident, and they finally understood what Yuan Zhi was upset about.

"Yuan Zhi's personality is good to be a censor, and he is the emperor's protégé. The emperor would like such a minister."

Su Ning shrugged and said, "Although Yuan Zhi is a bit rigid and conservative in some places, he is not a particularly stubborn person in general. He is just talking about messing around in the officialdom. His personality may be easier to offend his colleagues."

Xiao Jing agreed, and said: "This matter is also a little different from other things. After all, scholars are somewhat arrogant. He may feel that he has been insulted! Looking at his behavior in the past, life and death refused to live in it. Your natal family obviously doesn't want to be said to rely on nepotism to climb up the ladder."

"That's true, but in fact I don't think it has anything to do with it. After all, connections are also a very important resource." You don't think it's such a shame to rely on your wife to get rich or get promoted!
Although with this level of relationship, many shortcuts can indeed be taken, but some people are born as rich or second-generation officials, and he may not be able to have a bright future, it still depends on the person's own strength.

"Not everyone thinks like you, especially their literary circles."

Listening to Xiao Jing's words, Su Ning said a little amusedly: "Don't forget, you are also a literary champion, and you also belonged to that circle of literati back then. Why is this disdainful tone now?"

"This shows that I am mature, sensible, and grown up." Xiao Jing rarely had the interest to quarrel with Suning, making Suning laugh out loud!

Soon came the day of the imperial examination.

The ranks of the imperial examinations also came out, just as Xiao Jing predicted, Yuan Zhi's results this time ranked much higher.

When Su Ning heard the result, he couldn't help feeling a little funny, and didn't know what Yuan Zhi was thinking. Did he want to improve his ranking this time, or keep it unchanged?
But no matter what Yuan Zhi thinks, the result will be what it should be.

After the Luming Banquet, the top three champions in the new division, the second place, and Tanhua were all appointed by the emperor to stay in the Imperial Academy.

Other Jinshi still have to wait, it doesn't mean that there will be an official right away.

Su Ning thought a little viciously, since Yuan Zhi has such high ambition, he doesn't need Xiao Jing to help him move around, and just wait quietly for the officials to be dispatched.

Su Ning said this as a joke, but when Xiao Jing heard it, he agreed very much and said: "Yes, let's do as you want."

Su Ning was taken aback, and hurriedly said: "Don't, I was just joking. This can't be taken seriously. If my mother and aunt know that I'm doing something bad behind my back, they won't let me go."

Xiao Jing said: "How can this be regarded as your mischief, it's just that we didn't take the initiative to help."

Su Ning said with a wry smile: "Don't, they are all relatives of the family. You don't really ask him to come to you, so you help?"

"No, it depends on you." Xiao Jing's arrangement for Yuan Zhi's official position is just a matter of raising his hand, and it depends on where Yuan Zhi wants to be the county magistrate.
