Daughter's Portable Space

Chapter 450 Palace Exam
The Gu family's wedding banquet went smoothly, although not many guests came, the scene was not grand, there were no elders, and the only family members were the embarrassed second young master of the Gu family and Qin Xi who was a little at a loss.

As for Brother Pan and Qin Xi's two-month-old daughter, she was taken by the nanny.Although they are all ignorant children, after all, this is the grandparents' marriage. It is not good for them to attend or not to attend. In the end, they can only make a compromise. They choose to attend but not to show up, which is like a guest.

It is true that whether it is the second young master of the Gu family or Qin Xi, the two of them are not the most embarrassing.Even if she is the remarried wife of the Gu family, it's okay, after all, she doesn't need to entertain guests.

But Master Gu...

Luo Yunrui suppressed her smile, so she managed not to laugh out loud at the banquet.Looking at the other people, most of them looked like this. Although the wedding banquet this time was not very grand, it was probably the happiest wedding banquet for the guests.

After the wedding banquet, the master of the Gu family immediately used the excuse of his deceased father to pray for blessings, and began his life of staying at home.After a full year, he barely went out a few times, but he would never go out unless it was absolutely necessary.

As soon as the affairs of the Gu family were over, Luo Yunrui received a message from someone sent by the Luo Zhang family. She thought that something had happened to the Luo family, but she didn't think so, but the imperial examination was over, and Brother Rui's grades were very good. Entered the palace examination.

It was also at this moment that Luo Yunrui remembered this incident, and she was very annoyed at the moment, she had completely forgotten about such an important matter.

"What is this for? Brother Rui is taking the imperial examination, and you can't help him much."

"It's true to say that, but Brother Rui is my younger brother, even if he can't help you, you can still pray for him." Luo Yunrui looked annoyed, too many things happened these days, almost It's one thing after another.When she first learned that Brother Rui was going to take part in this year's imperial examination, she was very concerned about it. She didn't want to wait until the time really came, but completely forgot about it.

"Brother Rui is very good. He has already entered the palace examination. I think I didn't have this ability back then."

She looked at Qin Shaotian suspiciously, Luo Yunrui also knew little about the imperial examinations, most of the things were told to her by Qin Shaotian, and some were mentioned inadvertently when talking with Luo Zhang.

"What is the imperial examination like, please tell me, Shaotian."

Seeing that Luo Yunrui was interested, Qin Shaotian naturally wouldn't hide it, anyway, it's not a secret.

Imperial examinations have existed since ancient times, but this dynasty has its own imperial examination rules.Like the previous life, it seems that these things are particularly strict, but the previous dynasty was known for its strictness, not to mention the imperial examination, and even the constraints on women were extremely heavy.

Fortunately, this dynasty is not the previous dynasty, and this dynasty is still very tolerant to scholars.

The imperial examinations in this dynasty were divided into several parts.First of all, there are children's students every year. Children's students are just a term, and children don't necessarily have to participate.Generally speaking, students with average grades in government schools can pass the assessment of Tongsheng.Like Brother Rui, he should have passed the test as a child when he was eight or nine years old.

Tongsheng is relatively easy to pass the exam, and after passing the exam, apart from a name, there is no real benefit.However, the title of Tongsheng is not completely useless. To participate in Chunwei, one must first pass the examination of Tongsheng.

And those who passed the Chunwei assessment were scholars.Compared with Tongsheng, it is much more difficult to test a scholar, but it is not particularly difficult.For example, Qin Shaotian passed the examination as a scholar when he participated in Chunwei for the first time, and his ranking was quite high.

A scholar is more difficult to test than a child, but conversely speaking, a scholar is more useful.According to the rules of this dynasty, those who have a reputation as a scholar do not kneel down when they see an official, and the family can reduce or exempt taxes, and at the same time, they are never allowed to be traded as human beings.Generally, those who passed the examination as a scholar but were unable to continue the examination chose to be a private school teacher. If they had some skills, they could be a small official in the yamen, which is not bad.

After this spring is the autumn.

The examination of talents just mentioned, that is, Chunwei, is held once a year, and the time is usually set around the beginning of spring, so it was named Chunwei.But Qiu Wei is not like this.

If there is no accident, Qiu Wei is once every three years, and the time is indeed in autumn, but it is not Liqiu, but after Mid-Autumn Festival.It's still early, if something happens, it may be later.

As for the difficulty, needless to say, Qiu Wei is definitely more difficult than Chun Wei, and it's not just a little bit harder.

Originally, Brother Rui was going to participate in the autumn meeting the year before last, but at that time, because Qin Shaotian said something to the second master of the Luo family, and for the sake of Brother Rui's future, he did not participate in the autumn meeting that time.However, it is impossible to give up this year. Moreover, after listening to Qin Shaotian's suggestion, the second master of the Luo family took Brother Rui to some places and trained his communication skills hard. It is said that he has made great progress.

"Didn't Qiu Wei directly select the number one scholar?"

"of course not."

Qiuwei is to determine the academic status of the students, and will also evaluate the rankings based on their respective achievements.This ranking is further divided into first, second, and third. After the third, you will lose the ranking, and those who fail will have to wait another three years.

As for the students in the first class, they will enter the palace examination, and the holy master will personally examine the school, and by the way, the top three will be selected.

Naturally, this is the No. [-] pick, No. [-] pick, and No. [-] pick.

"How many people are there in the first class?" Luo Yunrui really admired Brother Rui at the moment, no matter what, it is already remarkable to be able to enter the first class.As for the champion and so on, I dare not expect extravagantly.

"Generally speaking, there are 12 people in the first class. However, there is no certainty in this matter. Sometimes when you meet outstanding talents, you can choose more candidates. Like this year, it seems to be 15 people." Qin Shaotian paused, There was a wry smile on his face: "I was 27 at the time and entered the second class, but I missed the palace exam. I originally planned to take the exam after three years, but it was delayed because of my father's sudden death. Later, I got married, although There is also learning, but after all, it is different from when I was young, and the higher-ups gave me a vacancy, so I accepted it."

As long as you enter the top three, you can get an official position. Of course, the specific official position is another matter.However, under normal circumstances, the top three will not be a real shortage, the second one will be released as a real shortage, and the first one will stay in the capital.

Brother Rui, who was originally the only legitimate son in the family, was still young, and entered the First Class, basically staying in the capital was a certainty.It's just that I'm afraid that the Holy One will think that he is too young to be in need.

"No, you said that the imperial examination was conducted by the Holy One himself? But..."

More than two months ago, the Holy Majesty gave the throne to the Emperor Taisun, so the original Holy Majesty should now be called the Taizu Shanghuang, and the Huang Taisun is the Holy Majesty.

It's just that the grandson of the emperor in the past, and now the sage, is about the same age as Brother Jie, no matter how good his knowledge is, he can only recite the Analects of Confucius.It is really embarrassing for the saint to test the school knowledge in person.

"Naturally, the Taizu Shanghuang personally assessed, and now the matters in the court are handled by the Taizu Shanghuang himself."

Calling this kind of thing is sometimes easy to say, but it is inevitable to say it wrong.However, this is also because there is no defense at home, if it is outside, Qin Shaotian will still pay more attention.Speaking of addressing, the Qin family originally planned to order their servants to change their address as soon as they returned to the capital. They didn't want many things to happen one after another, and such insignificant things would be delayed.

However, it was brought up again a few days ago, and now the servants of the Qin family have changed their minds.

The original eldest wife of the Qin family became the old lady of the Qin family, Qin Shaotian was the master of the Qin family, Luo Yunrui was the wife of the Qin family, brother Jie, brother Tai and brother Hao were the eldest, second and third young masters respectively.

In the first two days, everyone was not very used to it, but after these days, they are all used to it.

In fact, not only the Qin family, but the Gu family also changed their name.The old man of the Gu family has passed away, and there is no other older generation in the Gu family.Therefore, the Gu family master and the Gu family wife were promoted to the old master and the old lady, the Gu family's second young master and Qin Xi were the Gu family's master and wife, Brother Pan was the rightful young master, and Nuan Xin was the young lady.

By the way, Nuan Xin is Qin Xi's darling little daughter, who is deeply loved by the whole family.As for what Qin Xi and Luo Yunrui said about getting closer, neither the Gu family nor the Qin family objected.However, because the children were too young, they only said it verbally, and there was no formal engagement.After all, no one knows what will happen in the future.

"Rui'er, Brother Rui will probably take office in a short time after the palace examination. You can't interfere with the palace examination or official affairs, but there is one thing you can prepare for."

Confused by these words, Luo Yunrui couldn't figure out what to prepare after thinking about it: "What's the matter?"

Sighing slightly, Qin Shaotian knew that Luo Yunrui didn't take that matter to heart at all: "Of course it's Brother Rui's marriage, although it doesn't take too long for a man to get married, but think about it, Brother Rui and Lei'er They are twins of dragon and phoenix, Lei'er already has a son, and Brother Rui has not even started discussing marriage, is this..."

Marriage is not an easy task. Even if it is the smoothest, it will take at least one to two years from the process of discussing the marriage to meeting each other, then to the engagement, the dowry, and so on.Brother Rui is not too young, and now he has such good results in Qiuwei, even if he is the last in the palace examination, it doesn't matter.

Indeed, his marriage should be considered.

"Look at my brain, alas, I'm going back to my mother's house tomorrow."

Qin Shaotian was noncommittal, now they are still in the filial piety period, even Qin Shaotian has nothing to do all day long, if Luo Yunrui returns to her mother's house, he is very happy to accompany her: "Do you want to bring all the buddies?"

After hesitating for a while, Luo Yunrui nodded: "That's fine, take them all with us, we'll leave earlier, and we can come back and have dinner with my mother."
