The Grand Secretary’s Pampered Wife

Chapter 211 Kiss (one more)

Xiao Liulang was admitted to Huiyuan, and the whole family was very happy.

Lao Jijiu didn't say anything, but he couldn't hide the smile in his eyes.

Although he thinks that with the strength of his apprentice, there is no suspense at all when he is admitted to Huiyuan, but it does not prevent him from being happy.

He cooked several more dishes for dinner, and the family had a full meal.

The old lady gave Xiao Liulang a big red envelope, and the one she won by playing the leaf card today also gave it to Gu Jiao. The grand-nephew had a hard exam, and it was even harder for Jiaojiao to take care of this stinky boy.

Xiao Liulang accepted the red envelope, turned around and gave it to Gu Jiao.

"Cough, home." He said solemnly.

"Oh." Gu Jiao accepted it.

The silver earned by Qingfenglou does not have the incense of silver from the husband!

"Are there any exams to come?" Gu Jiao asked.

"There is more." Xiao Liulang said, "There will be a re-examination at the end of March, and the palace examination in April."

The so-called re-examination is actually more like a roll call examination, which is of little significance and is not included in the score. It is said that it is to compare handwriting and prevent someone from cheating in spring.

The palace exam is the next highlight.

The imperial examination was conducted by the emperor himself, and Jiuqing invigilated the examination together. All the candidates sat under their noses to answer the questions, and the pressure could be imagined.

The previous palace exam was only one day.

In this dynasty, in order to better select talents, it was changed to one-day paper test and one-day face-to-face test.

But not all candidates have the opportunity to face the exam.

Basically, only the best people in the first paper test can be summoned by the emperor, and the emperor will test them in person.

Of course, if the emperor is willing, in the first exam, you can also ask anyone to answer the questions at will, which will test the candidates' psychological quality and on-the-spot performance.

Some candidates are very knowledgeable, but they are too timid to perform well in the palace exam. Therefore, the current ranking of tributes does not mean that they will eventually get the same results in the palace exam.

Xiao Liulang also encouraged Feng Lin and Lin Chengye in the same way, so that they could concentrate on the exam.

"Will I fail the exam?" Gu Jiao asked.

"That's not true." Xiao Liulang explained patiently.

The palace test does not brush people, but only ranks second. That is to say, as long as you are admitted to the tribute, you have the opportunity to become a jinshi.

However, there are also grades of jinshi.

The first three of the palace exams are called Yijia Jinshi,

There are champions, second places, third flowers, Jinshi and the first.

The second grade is awarded the Jinshi background, and the third grade is awarded the same Jinshi background.

The first and second top jinshi belong to the regular list of jinshi, and the third top is equivalent to the jinshi, but in fact they still fall off the list.

It is unlikely that these losers will develop in the capital, and they can only become county magistrates of the seventh or eighth rank.

The first-class jinshi can directly enter the Hanlin Academy. The second- and third-class jinshi will take another imperial examination. Those who are admitted are called Shuji Shi. After three years of study, the Shuji Shi is also eligible to enter the Hanlin Academy after passing the exam.

The Hanlin Academy is the talent reserve of Zhao Kingdom. There is a saying that non-jinshi will not enter the Hanlin, and non-Hanlin will not enter the cabinet.

In fact, entering the Hanlin does not mean that you can make a fortune. The Hanlin also has the examinations and rules of the Hanlin, and that is a later story.

Gu Jiao pondered in her heart, she had already become a lady of honor, and the next step was to be a lady of jinshi.

"Who's third?" she asked.

Because Xiao Liulang and Anjun Wang were tied for first place, there was no second place, and the next one was directly third.

The third-ranked Gong Shi is a classmate named Cao in the Xingtang of Xiaoliulang Guozijian. He is 30 years old this year. He is not a native of Beijing. He was considered a young and famous in his hometown. cold.

This year, he became a tribute scholar in one fell swoop.

Gu Jiao remembered that there was no such name on the betting list of Qingfenglou, and it was also an unpopular one when she thought about it, but under the aura of Xiao Liulang's super unpopularity, not many people paid attention to him.

For dinner, the family was full, and perhaps because of happiness, everyone ate more than usual, except for the small headroom.

As the only child in the family, Xiao Qingkong is very careful in times of safety.

This time, the bad brother-in-law is tied for the first place with others. One tie for the first place makes everyone so happy. It shows how low everyone's expectations are for the bad brother-in-law, and it shows how bad his usual study is.

Xiao Jingkong decided to remind the bad brother-in-law not to be too proud, lest he accidentally test back to the prototype.

Of course, he also decided to give him a little reward.

"Give me a reward?" In the study, Xiao Liulang looked at Xiao Qingkong with a strange expression.

Is the sun coming out west? The little monk actually wanted to reward him?

Xiao Jingkong put his hands behind his back, snorted, and said solemnly, "Master Jiang said that we must care for the disadvantaged."

The bad brother-in-law is the penultimate one, the underprivileged group.

Xiao Liulang pointed to the Huiyuan document on the table: "Please, I took the test for positive numbers first."

Xiao Jingkong snorted with a small mouth: "It's just a juxtaposition."

Xiao Liulang looked at him angrily and hilariously: "Then you should test a Huiyuan and show it to me."

"Then you wait for me to grow up!" Xiao Jingkong expressed that he was full of confidence!

Xiao Liulang didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Okay, after talking so much, what are you going to reward me for?"

Xiao Jingkong asked, "What do you want?"

What can Xiao Liulang ask him for? It can't be to let him rent-free.

Xiao Liulang thought about it for a moment, and it really reminded him of something that he coveted: "The gift that Jiaojiao gave you on your birthday."

Xiaojingkong was furious: "You are too much! You actually want to take away the gift that Jiaojiao gave me!"

Xiao Liulang innocently spread his hands: "You asked me what I wanted, and I said it now."

Xiao Jingkong frowned, he is a good boy with good faith, and he can't go back on his promises.

He resisted the pain and asked, "You want Jiaojiao to give me the checkers?"

Xiao Liulang said: "What do I want checkers for? I want that."

Xiao Jingkong and Xiao Liulang had the same birthday, and Gu Jiao gave gifts to both of them. The gifts to Xiao Jingkong were other than checkers.

Xiao Liulang was referring to the Qianzhihe.

Xiao Jingkong's little fist clenched tightly, looking at Xiao Liulang somewhat incredulously and a little sadly: "You, what do you, a big man, want that? That's something only our children have!"

Yo, do you remember that you are a child at this time?

Xiao Liulang said: "I want it, will you give it?"

Du Duo Da Xuan Ping Hou's same paragraph is cheating.

Xiao Jingkong gave Xiao Liulang a complicated look, how could you be so confused.

Xiao Jingkong took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and his expression was indescribable. After a while, he turned his heart away: "Okay, since you insist."

As he said that, he took a step forward like a heroic sacrifice, and under Xiao Liulang's stunned gaze, he gave him a kiss on the right cheek!

Xiao Liulang: "..."

After Xiao Jingkong kissed, both of them were bad.

What's wrong with that, jeez?

Small Clearance: I sacrificed too much!

Xiao Jingkong's heart was filled with thunder, he stuck out his tongue, rolled his eyes, and went out in a frenzy!

Xiao Liulang shuddered when he recovered, saying that he was also terrified by the thunder.

When Gu Jiao entered the room, the corner of Xiao Liulang's mouth was still twitching.

"Huh? What's wrong?" Gu Jiao looked at him in amazement.

Xiao Liulang coughed lightly: "It's nothing."

It's a shame, not worth mentioning.

Gu Jiao walked into the room and handed him a small brocade box.

"This is—" Xiao Liulang took the box, opened it, and found a red satin hairband inside.

He hasn't reached the crown yet, so he can't wear it, and he's not used to using hairpins.

The original headband was already worn out. It was the color that Gu Jiao dyed and dyed by himself. It was just right for him. It was as cold as jade, but it was as bright as peaches and plums.

"Is this... a gift from Huiyuan?" Xiao Liulang asked.

"Ah?" Gu Jiao was stunned for a moment.

Obviously not, Xiao Liulang lowered his eyes, he didn't say anything, but his appearance was inexplicably revealing a little grievance.

Gu Jiao instantly felt that she had wronged Xiao Xianggong.

Xiao Liulang sighed: "King Kong just gave me a gift."

Okay not to mention it?

Even if the headroom is sent, wouldn't it be unreasonable not to send it?

Gu Jiao hurriedly said, "What gift do you want?"

"Actually, it doesn't need to be too troublesome, just keep it simple." Xiao Liulang straightened his expression and said solemnly, "On the day of my birthday, Xiao Jingkong has it, but I don't have it."

The last time Xiao Liulang said this, he got a small sweet kiss from Gu Jiao.

"Oh." Gu Jiao understood in seconds, turned around and went out. When she entered the room again, she had a thousand paper cranes in her hand, "Here!"

From Gu Jiao's point of view, what Xiao Liulang had on his birthday and what Xiao Liulang didn't have were only Qianzhi and Qianzhihe. After kissing had already been given, then only Qianzhihe remained.

Xiao Liulang, who didn't want this Qianzhihe at all: "..."
