Jiang Mingyue stood at the door of Qingshi Hutong, eating cakes and looking at the entrance of the alley from time to time.

Seeing that it was getting darker and darker, and the three of them hadn't returned yet, Jiang Mingyue became a little anxious.

"Apple hangs the lamp."

"Yes!"

After a while, after the lights were hung up, the door suddenly became much brighter.

"Madam, go back and wait! You have been standing here for a long time, don't get tired."

"I'm not tired!" Jiang Mingyue looked around while walking.

After burning the incense, Jiang Mingyue's ears suddenly moved.

"I seem to hear the sound of horse hooves. Go out and see if they are back."

"Hey!"

Knowing that Mrs. Pingguo was anxious, she picked up her skirt and ran towards the alley.

After a while, Apple ran back and said happily: "It's them!"

"Open the door and let's go home."

"Yes!"

Pingguo helped Jiang Mingyue back to the main room.

After eating and washing, half an hour later, Jiang Mingyue looked at her husband who walked in the bedroom and asked warmly: "Are they asleep?"

Xie Yuan said 'hmm', hugged his wife and said, "The two of them did well in the exam. If nothing happens in the next four games, Tong Sheng will be a sure winner."

Jiang Mingyue smiled when she heard this.

…………

Although there were many people participating in the government examination, the case occurred one day earlier than the county examination. Jiang Mingyue had to say that Lord Fu Yin was really efficient.

Ten days later, all five examinations of the government examination were completed. In the Gongyuan, Xu Fuyin was sitting on a high seat, with the magistrates of eight counties below.

They, along with several chief clerks and several fellow examiners, were correcting the papers. Only when they saw good writing would they show it to Xu Fuyin.

Although it was just a test for a child, they were all very serious.

They quickly determined the top nine on the A list, and only the tenth place was controversial among several county magistrates.

Xu Fuyin saw them arguing and asked, "What's wrong?"

"There are two test papers. We don't know how to rank them. Please give us your advice."

The Yong'an County Magistrate presented the test paper to Xu Fuyin.

After Xu Fuyin looked at it carefully, he understood why they were arguing.

The article on one of the test papers is slightly better, but the poem is mediocre. The poem on the other paper with snow as the title is very exciting, especially the sentence, 'Suddenly a spring breeze comes overnight, and thousands of pear trees bloom. "Opening" can be said to be the finishing touch, making people's eyes brighter.

After thinking about it for a while, Xu Fuyin finally decided on the last place on the list.

After the B list was also determined, Xu Fuyin compared the list of candidates and opened the test paper.

The first place is Shen Yu, who is well-deserved, the second place is Qi Yongsi, who is a dark horse, and the last place is Jiang Minghong, who is also from Wanping County. The most important thing is that he is only thirteen years old.

Xu Fuyin put down the test paper and looked at Shen Weiguo with a smile: "Yes, Wanping County has produced several good seedlings this year."

When Shen Weiguo heard this, he knew that there should be two or three people from his county in the first list, otherwise Xu Fuyin would not say so.

"They are all well-taught by adults."

On April 26th, the sun was shining brightly, the spring breeze was warm, it was a good time, and the government examination results were finally out.

Because of the lesson learned last time, Jiang Mingyue and others arrived early this time and stood at the front.

As soon as they arrived, there were people standing behind them. Xie Yuan and Jiang Minghong were afraid that the crowd would crowd her, so they automatically protected her in front of them.

As there were more and more people, the surroundings gradually became noisy, and the various smells mixed together were a bit pungent. Xie Yuan was afraid that his wife would be uncomfortable, so he handed her the medicine bag he had prepared in advance and covered her hands at the same time. Ear.

Jiang Mingyue felt a silence in her ears. She smelled the faint medicinal fragrance emanating from the sachet and turned to smile sweetly at the man.

A quarter of an hour later, the list was finally posted, and Jiang Minghong saw Shen Yu's name at a glance.

"Brother, congratulations to the head of the government examination."

This result had been expected by Shen Yu. He acted very calmly. He even just glanced at his own name and started looking for Qi Yongsi and Jiang Minghong's names on the list.

Xie Yuan was the first person to find Jiang Minghong's name. Because he had a clear understanding of Jiang Minghong's strength, he did not look ahead, but looked ahead from the top three on the second list.

"My little brother won, tenth on the ranking list." Xie Yuan came to his wife's side and said.

Jiang Mingyue lowered her eyes after hearing this. The moment she saw her brother's name, she let out a sigh of relief and smiled at the corners of her lips.

"Little brother, you are tenth on the A-list. Congratulations, you are now a child." Jiang Mingyue gently touched her brother's head and said happily.

Although she was the last one, she was still at the top of the list. Jiang Mingyue felt so proud.

"Thank you, sister!" Regarding this result, Jiang Minghong was somewhat surprised. He himself guessed that he was in the top five of the B list, but he didn't expect to be on the A list. Normally, he was not happy, but now everyone can see came out and he was very happy.

"Congratulations, third brother!" Shen Yu felt even happier than herself when Jiang Minghong won the prize. After all, he was half of Jiang Minghong's teacher, and he felt a full sense of accomplishment.

"Third brother, second brother, congratulations!" For Qi Yongsi, the happiest thing is that his brothers are on the same list.

Jiang Minghong looked at the two of them.

"We rejoice together! We rejoice together!"

Jiang Mingyue looked at the three people who were congratulating each other and said warmly: "You have all worked hard during this period. Now that you are out, you can go shopping and have fun, and just come back in the evening."

Jiang Minghong and the three looked at each other.

"I think it works!"

"I have never been to Kyoto for so long. Let's have fun today." Qi Yongsi said.

"Let's go! I'll take you around." Shen Yu looked at the two of them and said.

Xie Yuan saw the three people leaving and supported his wife: "Go home!"

"it is good!"

With Zhou Bin and Pingguo leading the way, they quickly squeezed out of the crowd.

Not long after they left, Chen Fugui, who sneaked out from the Yamen, came to the list. Soon his eyes fell on Jiang Minghong's name, which was tenth on the list, which was already an excellent ranking. Although the Chen Fugui Prefectural Examination is only a basic examination, it is not easy to get on the top list.

With Jiang Minghong's current ranking, he might be on the list when he takes the college examination in June. The imperial examination has always been a major event in Kyoto. Sun Liang may not pay attention to the government examination, but he will definitely pay attention to the college examination.

Once he sees Jiang Minghong's name, he will definitely become suspicious. He must not let Jiang Minghong pass the exam anymore. He must find a way to stop him.

In the evening, in order to celebrate the birth of Jiang Minghong and Qi Yong, Jiang Mingyue specially asked Su Niang to cook a few more dishes.

In the main hall, four people sat around the table, chatting and laughing, having a good time. In addition to Jiang Mingyue, the three of them also had a few drinks.

After dinner, Xie Yuan led the two of them into the study.

"In this government examination, you must have realized that the test questions will become more and more difficult. Although you are all talented, there are many people who are as talented as you. Those who are not as talented as you, as long as you work hard and accumulate, you will be able to succeed. You can also catch up.”

Xie Yuan's words made the two of them, who were still somewhat complacent, fall into deep thought.
