After rebirth, I joined forces with my mortal enemy to seek revenge.

The day when the Youshence Army was launched happened to be at the end of February, and it happened to be the day when the imperial examination results were released. The successful scholars would go to the Big Wild Goose Pagoda of Daci'en Temple to nominate and celebrate high school. On March 3rd, there will be a festival by the Qujiang Pool, and all the houses are preparing for it. People in Chang'an City also gathered in these two places to watch the excitement.

Therefore, You Shence launched the plan at this time, and no one cared about it. Except for the fact that the prince personally led the civil and military officials to see him off, it did not attract any attention from the people.

Standing in the crowd, Pei Jiaoran watched Li Xiujing bid farewell to the prince after swearing in military orders loudly, and then led his sergeants to set off with their whips raised. Under the running of thousands of horses, dust is flying as far as the eye can see.

The sound of horse hooves gradually faded away, and all the officials returned to their offices. However, Pei Jiaoran did not return to the Hubu Yamen Office. Instead, he went to the south courtyard of the Ministry of Rites.

The imperial examination results and the long list of candidates are all set up in the south courtyard of the Ministry of Rites this year. Therefore, in the south courtyard of the Ministry of Rites that day, you can see a crowd of people, and they are very loud. Just to cause unnecessary accidents, the two venues were separated and there were officials to guide them there.

Pei Jiaoran walked briskly up to the small building closest to here. Standing by the fence, looking down at the lively crowd.

There were murmurs in the crowd.

"Xu Liulang, you are letting go again this year! When you go back, my wife will use a broom to chase you away."

"Oh, I've expected it! Come back next year and buy some decent jewelry for my wife to comfort her. Where is your name? See if it's there, so I can be happy too."

"Here it is. After this lady has finished reading, please give up your seat. Oh, what is this writing? I can't even understand how it was scrawled and altered."

"Hey, you can let this gentleman go. Don't be discouraged. Be ready to come back next year."

When the familiar voice reached his ears, Pei Jiaoran looked away.

The person who spoke was Zhao Mingluan, and she was standing with Pang Xiyin. Looking at the two of them, Pei Jiaoran had a smile on his face. This year both of them passed the administrative department, but they still had to report to the Ministry of Civil Affairs and pass the selection process before they would be officially awarded the title.

Exams are always a matter of joy for some people and sorrow for others. When the two men heard that they had been sentenced to death, they almost fainted. If there wasn't someone around to support him, he would have been pushed down and trampled on. The kind-hearted scholar helped them out, and the people watching the list immediately swarmed behind them.

What followed was a burst of laughter. The wind was filled with excited sounds.

"Did you pass the exam?"

"I passed the exam too. Let's go and report to the Ministry of Civil Affairs together."

"Hey, brother, have you passed the exam?"

The scholar who was called looked at them seriously, turned around and strode away from this sad place.

On the other side, the place where Chang Ke released the results was even more lively and shrouded. After the golden gong rings three times, the Minister of Rites personally posts the gold list.

Those who participate in the regular subjects are all white, compared to the dazzling ones in the system subjects. The people watching from Chang Ke's side felt quite comfortable.

Pei Jiaoran searched for the girl in scarlet clothes in the crowd, and suddenly

I heard footsteps coming from behind. When he turned around, he saw Mr. Wang Guo, his lips slightly raised.

"Did Mr. Wang Guo come to the palace today to congratulate the two ladies of the Wang family?" Pei Jiaoran bowed his hands and said with a smile.

"Happy? How can we talk about happiness before the election? But I still have to thank Pei Shangshu for his kind thoughts and not embarrassing the two of them. He also gave me the Taiyuan Wang family and cultivated good seedlings." Mr. Wang Guo came up to talk to her. Standing side by side, "Pei Shangshu can rest assured that someone will accept these two people back to the Wang family."

Pei Jiaoran raised his eyebrows after listening to Mr. Wang Guo's words.

"In the past, we abandoned them like open shoes. Once they gained power, they rushed to cling to them." Pei Jiaoran stroked the railing with his hand and said slowly: "The Wang family in Taiyuan is nothing more than that."

There was contempt in Pei Jiaoran's eyes, which was a sign of shame for their Wang family's behavior.

Seeing the displeasure in Mr. Wang Guo's eyes, Pei Jiaoran curled his lips. In fact, she didn't simply despise the Wang family, but more sympathized with the two Wang sisters. It's not enough that the world has given them suffering. In the future, they will have to be used as bargaining chips by their families to trade with each other. But this is the way the world is. As long as it can benefit the family, both men and women can be traded, and the same transactions are happening in every corner of the world all the time. Boring and uninteresting.

"The Wang family is in bad shape, and Pei Shangshu is not spotless either. To Yimou, it looks like the smelly stones in the latrine, smelly and hard." Old Wang Guo looked at Pei Jiaoran sharply and said sarcastically.

"We are all in this together, so why bother talking about right and wrong? If someone is a smelly stone in the latrine, then what is the Wang family?" Pei Jiaoran smiled sternly, "Isn't it dirtier than someone else?"

Mr. Wang Guo was choked by Pei Jiaoran's words and left with a puff of sleeves.

After watching Mr. Wang Guo leave, Pei Jiaoran's eyes returned to the crowd watching the list. After searching for a while, I finally saw the figure of the girl in scarlet clothes. The girl only glanced at him and turned around to leave.

The girl seemed to feel something when she left, and looked in the direction of Pei Jiaoran. Pei Jiaoran, who had already noticed it, quickly hid behind Zhu Zhu.

Guessing that the girl in scarlet clothes had gone far, Pei Jiaoran returned to the railing and continued to look down.

Pei Jiaoran glanced at the two Wang sisters in the crowd. After the two looked at each other for a while, they left arm in arm. The joy can be seen on the face.

Pei Jiaoran's smile deepened when she thought that all the girls living in her home had successfully passed the exam. After passing the election, it is time to confer an official position. It's just a pity that according to the usual practice, these people will most likely not be kept in Chang'an, and almost all of them will be released. As for where to go, they will still be given the opportunity to choose first, and then the officials will make adjustments according to the actual situation.

After gathering his thoughts, Pei Jiaoran walked up the stairs and left.

Walking slowly along the wall, the purple robe is particularly eye-catching in the skylight.

After reading the list, a series of envious exclamations erupted from behind Pei Jiaoran.

Without exception, they all envied her for being young and wearing a purple robe as a woman. Everywhere is enviable.

Ignoring the envious voice behind him, Pei Jiaoran turned around and ran back to the household department from the path.

The household department is still very busy.

Even when Pei Jiaoran came in, no one noticed. Everyone is immersed in this, dialing the abacus with one hand, and calculating accounts with the other hand.

After a moment of silence, someone suddenly said: "Do you smell a fragrance?"

"It seems to be Xun Ling Shilixiang. Damn it, could it be Pei Shangshu coming to supervise our work again?"

"Oh, Pei Shangshu was born in Yushitai. I was caught whispering to someone from Bibu when I was dining on the veranda! She fined me one month's salary."

"Shh, I heard that the other people in Yushitai are worried about official affairs, but she alone is worried about ghosts."

"Don't be unreasonable. I think you may be too tired. The imperial examination results will be released today, and Pei Shangshu will definitely be there. There will be no time to come. Work quickly. After you finish your work, you can go back and rest."

"That makes sense, we must be too tired."

Pei Jiaoran, who was drafting a plan to spend state funds in his public apartment, raised his eyebrows and smiled after listening to the words of several people.

By noon, everyone put down their pens and got up to go to the public kitchen of the Ministry of Household Affairs.

With a "squeak" sound, the door of the public room behind him opened. Everyone looked back and saw Pei Jiaoran looking at them with a smile on his hands.

Everyone looked at each other with fear on their faces.

"Thanks for your hard work, why don't we go to the public kitchen to have a meal together?" Pei Jiaoran said with a smile.

The head of the household department spoke, and they, the subordinate officials of the household department, nodded obediently and followed Pei Jiaoran to the public kitchen.
