First Lady of the Crown Prince

  Chapter 198 end (one more)

  On February 15th, the third exam also came to an end. The candidates spent an exciting and difficult night in Gongyuan, and were released one by one after another round of rigorous body searches on the 16th.

   There are many people outside the Gongyuan.

  Gu Jiao came early and grabbed a good spot.

  Gong Yuan gate opened, and candidates came out of Gong Yuan one after another.

  Except for the county test Gu Jiao picked up Xiao Liulang for one, Gu Jiao missed all the other government tests, hospital tests, and township tests because they were rushing to take the test in other places.

  This is the first time that Gu Jiao is waiting for him to come out of the examination room in a crowd of people. It looks like a family member outside the examination room of the college entrance examination in the previous life.

  Fortunately, I didn’t wait long before I saw Xiao Liulang come out carrying a bag.

  He can be seen in the crowd at a glance.

  It's not because he is holding a cane, but because of his demeanor and appearance, which is too one in a million.

  Gu Jiao bends the corners of her lips, smiling unconsciously in her eyes.

  Xiao Liulang also saw her at a glance, and walked towards her through the crowd, her eyes seemed to be broken with starlight, which was brighter than the stars of the Milky Way.

   "How is it? Is it okay?" Gu Jiao took the baggage from him. The baggage was not heavy, and she put it directly into her small back basket.

  Xiao Liulang nodded: "Well, it's going well."

  The first two exams were too cold, but in the third exam, Tiangong was a beautiful woman.

   "Why are you here?" Xiao Liulang looked at the little dumpling next to Gu Jiao.

  Xiao Jingkong crossed her chest with her hands, raised her small chin and snorted, "You think I want to come? Finally, I have a day off. If I didn't accompany Jiaojiao, I wouldn't come!"

  Small things, Xiao Liulang moved his small head, and the pegs of hair began to **** his hands.

  The group turned around and went to the alley at the other end. Liu Quan waited early.

  The family of three got into the carriage.

   Xiao Jingkong sat opposite Xiao Liulang, still clasping her hands on her chest, looking at him with a serious face.

  Xiao Liulang was baffled by him, and asked him: "What's the matter? Always look at me like this?"

   Xiao Jingkong solemnly said: "I want to see how well you do in the exam, and whether you have taken the exam well."

  The candidates he had just observed while waiting outside were dusty, dejected, and insensitive, but none of them were cheerful.

  He is observing which kind of bad brother-in-law belongs to.

  Xiao Liulang gave Xiao Jingkong a weird look.

  Gu Jiao came over and explained in a low voice in his ear: “He is a person with good friends now. He said that if you don’t do well in the exam, you will make him unable to raise his head in front of his classmates.”

  Xiao Liulang: "..."

  Gu Jiao said nonchalantly: "I have finished the exam, the grades do not matter!"

  Xiao Liulang breathed a sigh of relief, still being considerate of his wife.

  Wait, wife?

  Why does he have this idea!

   Not waiting for him to be shocked, Xiao Jingkong threw another heavy blow: "Jiaojiao bet you to be the first in the test, and you bet a thousand taels!"

  Xiao Liulang's body was shocked: "...!!!"

  Gu Jiao looked at the sky with both eyes, she didn't see if she couldn't see.

  The Medical Center is still in the stage of investing money. Because of the mass production of drugs, it has built a small pharmaceutical factory. Xiao Liulang is very curious about where the thousand taels came from.

  Gu Jiao: It's all about searching for Gu Chenglin.

  Xiao Liulang helped his forehead, and he took the test for nine days, and unlike the previous children’s test and the country’s test for two months, why did he still feel that his family was turned upside down?

   "So, did you take the test well?" Xiao Jingkong asked seriously.

  Xiao Liulang took a deep breath: "Yes."

  It is indeed a good test, and fortunately, it is a good test, otherwise it will be a waste of the thousand taels.

  Furthermore, the imperial examination is not like arithmetic and astronomy. There are standard answers. Right is right and wrong is wrong. It is very random, so it is really not foolproof to get the first place.

Fortunately, it was only one thousand taels. In case, he said that in case he didn't get the first place, he would recruit a few more students like Lin Chengye. After a year and a half of hard work, he would almost be able to fill in.

  Facts proved that he was still too happy.

   Xiao Jingkong nodded solemnly: "You'd better take the exam well, and the neighbors in the neighborhood will also hold you first in the exam."

  Xiao Liulang was startled again: "How much did you charge?"

  Small, local tyrant charter, Jingkong calmly said: "Not much, it adds up to seven or eight thousand taels."

   also——seven——eight——thousand——two——right——

  Xiao Liulang covered his heart: "..."

  Back to Bishui Hutong, Old Jijiu called Xiao Liulang over.

The old Jijiu already knows the exam questions. Although the court prohibits leaking questions, as long as the exam is opened, the exam questions will be passed out in various ways within an hour, so candidates are not allowed to enter the venue after the exam. of.

  The first old Jijiu is not worried. Xiao Liulang memorized the four books and five classics like a fluent, and the four books are not difficult for him. In addition, candidates need to make a five-character and eight-rhyme poem and four classics.

  Xiao Liulang recounted his five-character and eight-rhyme poem and the meaning of the classics.

  Lao Jijiu nodded.

  Nothing wrong.

  Lao Jijiu asked about Xiao Liulang's eight-part essays and policy questions.

I am a little opposed to the old ancestral wine in the eight-part essay, too much emphasis on the form, but restricts the candidates' performance, but he said it does not count, the emperor said it does not count, the rules handed down by the ancestors are not so easy to outlaw of.

Xiao Liulang's eight-part essay is also very well done.

  Inquired about this one, and let the old Jijiu squeeze a cold sweat.

  Dirty and long-sage has always been a sensitive topic. Today, His Majesty is neither a sire nor a long-time man, and strictly speaking, he is not considered a good-natured man.

  He hides deeper, at least at the time it seemed that he was somewhat uncoordinated.

  Of course, the series of methods and ingenuity he showed after he took office is amazing, even the two-dynasty veterans like Old Jijiu dare not say that your Majesty is not worthy of sitting on this dragon chair.

  Compared to the first emperor, he was more than a bit ruthless in terms of means.

  At least the Emperor Xian had never fought the Queen Mother, but he sent the Queen Mother into the palace.

  In Zhaoguo, each year Chunwei exam questions are drawn up by the Hanlin Academy and sent to the Imperial Study Room to be selected by His Majesty. Your Majesty will select a set of main exam questions and five sets of spare questions.

  Old Jijiu dared to conclude that the Hanlin Academy would not send a question like Changxian, it must have been added by His Majesty himself.

   "This majesty is really confusing." The old Jijiu's heart breeds the same thoughts as Jun Wang. Is his majesty dissatisfied with the prince, or is he dissatisfied with the prince who pretends to be the prince? Or is it warning those princes who do not occupy the firstborn or the eldest son's seat, but think that they can match the position and can copy his path to the throne?

  The answers of the examinees were nothing more than about which kind of heir was more beneficial to Jiangshan society, or citing classics to point out the pros and cons of each of the three.

  No matter which one is in the range of hereditary system, Xiao Liulang jumped out of this range.

  Isn’t this telling the emperor that if your son fails, then he should be replaced by someone else’s son?

  Such remarks can be directly criticized in the previous dynasty.

  But even in this dynasty where speech is relatively free, it is still too bold.

  Lao Jijiu simply doesn’t know how this apprentice’s head grows, so dare you write this kind of article?

   Fortunately, his last flattering sentence was pretty good.

  Connotation The reason why your Majesty can inherit the throne today is because he is the most capable person in the world, and has nothing to do with his birth or blood.

  Lao Jijiu's cold sweat is halfway through, and it turns into hot sweat.

  No, who did you learn from this kid? Is it so shameless?

  How do you feel that this kid suddenly seemed to light up some incredible skill?

   Must not learn from him!

  He didn’t teach such a sycophant!

  Old Jijiu felt that Xiao Liulang's own strength was no problem, and the rest could only be handed over to God's will.

  Spring came down on the 9th, many candidates fell ill, and the business of the medical center was booming again.

  At the same time, Gu Changqing placed the order for the golden sore medicine a year ago. Gu Jiao sampled the efficacy of the medicine and sent it to the barracks only after passing the test.

  A year ago, she sent a letter to Xue Ningxiang, saying that everything was going well on Tuesday, and Xue Ningxiang replied to her, telling her what happened in the village and the progress of the medicine field, and gave him something.

  Some are for her, and some are for Tue Zhuang.

  Gu Changqing often visits the hospital to look after Gu Chenglin. Gu Jiao takes the things Xue Ningxiang sent to Tue Zhuang and asks him to send it to Tue Zhuang. If Tue Zhuang has a reply, ask him to take it, and she will send it back to the village.

  When she wrote to Xue Ningxiang, Gu Jiao suddenly found something very sad.

  That is Xue Ningxiang’s calligraphy is actually better than himself!

  Gu Jiao: "Well, is this girl learning to write with someone? So much progress?"

   Xiao Liulang, who passed by the door of the house, glanced at her, went back to the house silently, and doubled the copybook that Gu Jiao practiced every day!

Chunwei’s test papers are as many as thousands, and they are copied and sent to the internal affairs hall for review. There are 20 scoring officers in groups of four, which means that each test paper must be reviewed by four scoring officers. If two of the scoring officers fail, there is no need for this test paper to be sent up.

  However, the unqualified scoring officer is not given blindly. There will be someone to review the bad papers later, and the scoring officer who maliciously corrects will be severely punished.

  Each group of scoring officers will select the top 50 from the five hundred test papers and hand them to the two presidents and vice presidents. This is basically a candidate who can become a tribute.

  Of course, the two presidents and vice presidents will carefully review them, and those who have objections will be put aside. The eliminated test papers are also ranked according to their scores. How many tributes are missing, the president and vice presidents will be selected from the first few eliminated.

  There are also ten special places.

  This is the person that your majesty and ministers stuffed inside.

  The names of these people are reported directly, and it doesn’t matter whether they are included in the two hundred test papers.

  If it happens to be there, then there will be two hundred tributes this year. If not, it will only add a few more.

  As for how these people will rank in the future palace exams, it is not a matter for the scoring officers to worry about.

   Copying, scoring, preliminary review, review, ranking, after a series of operations, the list will not be released until next month.

  Xiao Liulang is very calm, taking a small headroom to and from school as usual, just like the days before the exam.

  Gu Jiao was also very calm, and she couldn't see that she had bet on all of her net worth.

  Gu Jinyu's recent days have not been very easy. Since she was exposed by Zhuang Mengdie, her popularity in women's school has plummeted. Several daughters who rushed to please her in the past have gradually alienated her.

  She was angry and took sick leave at home.

  On this day, she was recuperating at home, and suddenly Grandma Qi came to the door.

  Mr Qi Qi is the grandmother next to Concubine Shu, who is highly regarded by Concubine Shu.

  Gu Jinyu warmly received her: "What wind brought Grandma Qi here?"

Grandma Qi patted Gu Jinyu's hand, and smiled and said: "You, it's not your mother who asked Lord Hou, you didn't even know that you were sick. If you are sick, you won't say anything to your mother, don't you know if your mother loves you?

  Gu Jinyu was touched, and said softly: "It's not a serious illness, it's not good to bother auntie."

  Sister Qi gave her a look: "Did you see it?"

  Gu Jinyu lowered her eyes and smiled.

  Mother Qi asked the little palace lady to put a few brocade boxes on the table: "These are all rewards from the empress, there are snow lotus and some ginseng, they are all great things, you must remember to eat them."

  Gu Jinyu moved, "Thank you, Auntie."

  Grandma Qi took her hand and said: "The family doesn’t talk about two things, and the mother has no daughters under her knees. You have always treated you as your own daughter. You must take care of your body and don’t worry about your mother."

   "Yes, Jinyu took it down." Gu Jinyu said obediently.

  Grandma Qi cuts to the topic: "Ah, yes, I am here today, there is one more thing, the lady wants to see you."

  Gu Jinyu enters the palace with Grandma Qi.

Concubine Shu is the lord of the first palace. She has her own independent palace, and she doesn't have to let other little lords live in her partial hall like the second concubine. She lives in the Changchun Palace with the fifth prince, not to mention more carefree.

  The weather is fine today, and Concubine Shu is looking through the work of the Five Princes in the pavilion of the Changchun Palace.

  Gu Jinyu stepped forward to invite her to Ann: "Auntie."

  Shu Fei beckoned to her: "It happened to be here, Xiao Wu just made an article, you can see it."

   "Yes." Gu Jinyu sat down beside Concubine Shu, and Concubine Shu handed her the article of the fifth prince.

  The fifth prince was the same age as Gu Chenglin, and went to the study with a few older brothers every day. They were taught by the prestigious Confucian scholars.

   Honestly, the talents of the five princes are not very good.

  Gu Jinyu basically does his homework.

  After watching, Gu Jinyu smiled and praised: "Fifth Your Highness has made progress."

"I think too!" Concubine Shu was very pleased with the answer. She asked the maid to put the article away, and then looked at Gu Jinyu and said indulgingly, "You kid, you have done such a big thing in the county, why don't you say anything? Say a word?"

   "Huh?" Gu Jinyu was taken aback.

  The topic turned unexpectedly.

Concubine Shu glared at her and took her hand and said, "You still want to hide it, it wasn't me who went to give a snack to your majesty just now. I don't know if you did such a big thing behind your home! Why are you doing this? Doesn't the mountains show up and the water doesn't show up?"

  Gu Jinyu is even more confused, what did she do?

Concubine Shu held her hand tightly, her eyes full of excitement: "The bellows!"

  　Can I ask for a monthly pass?
