Love of Daiyu in the Red Chamber

The day of the announcement of the rankings is just around the corner. Examiners and family members have already gathered under the rankings, as well as some spectators.

Father Zhong and Zhong Chu stood outside the carriage, Tang Mou and Chen Er followed, Daiyu and Jia Mu Li Xiuhe were in the carriage, and they all anxiously waited for the announcement.

It was crowded but quiet, and everyone waited nervously.

At [-]:[-] p.m., the leader of the list unveiled the list covered with red cloth on time.

Many children from aristocratic families participated in the examination, and they sent servants to wait for them early on, and the young servants of the Zhong family squeezed forward desperately.Finally squeezed to the front, looked up carefully, and saw that Zhong Chu's name was ranked eighth in Jiazi.I also found the names of Chen Er and Tang Mou, Tang Mou Jiazi No.20, and Chen Eryizi No.12.

If you are on the list, take a walk on the Golden Luan Hall.

"Master, you've won, you've won!" The boy shouted again in the crowded crowd. The unveiling of the list was like a blast. There was a lot of people's voices. Zhong Chu was far away, so no one could hear his voice.

"Brother Zhong will definitely pass high school!" Daiyu said affirmatively, fearing that she would not be convincing, she nodded affirmatively.

Zhong Chu was amused by her grown-up words, and gave a soft "hmm" through the curtain.

The female relatives were all sitting in the carriage, and Tang Mou waited impatiently. He hadn't seen the boy back for a long time, so he talked to a few people, and ran to look at the list by himself.

Here he just left, and the servant of the Zhong family came back.

"Master, you've won!" The boy congratulated happily, and Father Zhong asked, "Where is Ah Chu ranked?"

Mother Zhong and Daiyu were nervous in the carriage, listening to the boy's reply calmly.

"Uncle ranks No. [-]!" The servant happily replied after accepting Father Zhong's reward.

Fu turned to Chen Er again and said, "Master Chen is No. 12 of Yi Zi!"

"Haha... I've hit it, I've hit it!" Chen Er smiled openly, and couldn't stop laughing.Several people were happy for him, Father Zhong saw that he was so happy that he couldn't care about anything, so he took another reward money and came out to send the servant away.

After taking two rewards in a row, the smile on the boy's face grew deeper and deeper.

This kind of good job is rare, these two rewards are almost three months of his monthly silver!

"Who is the second in the list, can you see?" Zhong Chu expected that he won the list without much fluctuation, and only asked a casual question.

The boy thought about it for a while before replying, "It's Nan Feiyan!"

Zhong Chu was taken aback for a moment, and it really was him.Nanfeiyan is full of literary talents, and it is definitely not a bird in a cage.At this time, it is expected to ride the wind and waves and go straight to Qingyun.

Several people got the news, and after waiting for a while, Tang Mou hadn't come back. Zhong Chu wanted to look for him, but saw Tang Mou surrounded by a group of uniformly dressed people who looked like servants, and beside him were a few luxurious and introverted people with satisfied smiles on their faces. the old man.

Before Zhong Chu could react, envious applause erupted from the crowd.

"It's under the list to catch the son-in-law!"

"This kid is really lucky!"

"Isn't that old man Prime Minister Feng?!"

"When the gold list is titled, the wedding night is festive, the ancients will not deceive me!"

"Joy merry!"

……

Zhong Chu silently put down the foot that was about to walk away, looked at the group of people who were walking away in a daze at this time, called the servant to inquire, and took the whole family home.

When they got home, they were a little hungry because they only had some snacks but no food, so the maid hurriedly arranged for meals.

Li Xiuhe was a little embarrassed and wanted to say goodbye, but was detained by Zhongmu and Daiyu.

The hospitality was hard to come by, and finally a few people gathered around the table, not paying attention to the difference between men and women, and started to gobble it up.

On the other side, the Li family rejoiced and planned to hold a banquet for Li Yizhi's No. [-] ranking. Li Yizhi hurriedly stopped his crazy parents!

Zhao Xiaomian and Li Yizhi tied for second place in Jiazi, and the Zhao family was also happy.Only Zhao Xiaomian and Li Yizhi became brothers. Although the Zhao family agreed, they were a little reluctant and didn't want to make a big splash.

Moreover, the national treasury is in short supply, and there are wars at the border. Although this matter is great joy, it is not appropriate to spend a lot of trouble.Hitting the top bird with a gun, Shang Zhai has a kind heart today, but it can't be worth it in the future when someone turns over the old score!

It's better to be a low-key man with your tail between your legs!

Three days after the announcement of the rankings was the palace examination, but Zhong Chu didn't pay much attention to it.

"Have you found out?" Zhong Chu was lying on the rocking chair in the yard, covered with a thick cashmere quilt, drowsy.

"It was Prime Minister Feng's second-in-law recruiting a son-in-law, and the prime minister's mansion was willing to tell me about it after spending some money. It is said that the second girl took a long look at Uncle Tang from a distance on the street earlier, and she was so caring." The young servant After Zhong Chu took a big sip of the tea that Zhong Chu handed him, he thanked him before continuing: "I found out that he is this year's examinee, and I kept quiet. I will send someone to watch him early on the day when the results are announced, and arrest him as soon as he sees him." go!"

The boy was envious of Tang Mou's good luck while talking, who is this man, who directly becomes the prime minister's son-in-law.It's not a matter of time for the prime minister to grow old and strong, Tang Moufei and Huang Tengda!

Zhong Chu was still surprised when he heard this, so he casually threw a piece of broken silver to the boy.

"It's cold, I bought wine and drank with your brothers to warm up."

The servant left thankfully, the Zhong family was generous and not harsh on the servants.If you do well, you will be rewarded, if you don’t do well, you will be punished, and you will not be a servant for no reason.This is why the big guys are willing to follow the Zhong family all the way to the capital, and some people have been bought and signed a death contract, so they can only follow.

In the past three days, Zhong Chu still had the opportunity to meet Tang Mou. Seeing that he did not object to marrying the prime minister's daughter, he felt relieved.

If there are no accidents, Tang Mou and the second daughter of the prime minister will be able to drink the wedding wine in a few months!

You have to prepare well for this gift, and Tang Mou will spend twice as much when he gets married in the future!

The three days passed in a flash, and soon it was the day when the examinee went to the Jinluan Hall to meet Tianyan and decide the number one scholar!

Zhong Chu got up to take a shower and changed clothes at Maoshi Zhun, put on a red court dress and a black sand official hat, and took a carriage to the palace gate. On the way, he came across some generals visiting neighbors on the street, and they knew him because of his family members. So they went together.

When the court officials paid homage first, the eunuchs' sharp voices pierced the sky one by one.

"Xuan, disciples of the Son of Heaven have an audience!"

A group of dozens of people filed in, but hundreds of people stood on the Golden Luan Hall, which still looked empty.

Zhong Chu, who had been to the Forbidden City in his previous life, was still overwhelmed by the majestic atmosphere at this time, and marveled at the magnificence of Tianjia's imperialism!

"See the emperor, long live my emperor, long live!"

The unified voice echoed in the huge Golden Luan Hall, and Zhong Chu knelt down with everyone, looking at the people around him out of the corner of his eyes.Turning his eyes, he secretly glanced at the emperor on the dragon chair.

Even if the emperor is well maintained, people who are already in their 50s were considered long-lived in ancient times.

Seemingly realizing that someone was spying on him, the old emperor glanced over, Zhong Chu hurriedly lowered his eyelids, his body tensed up and pretended that he hadn't done anything.

"This palace test, the top ten of Jiazi can participate! The rest can watch the battle."

The recent affairs officer took a small drum, and following the emperor's order, a total of 12 people in the top ten of Jiazi stood in the front row and listened to the emperor's questions.

"There are only two questions this time. The first question is to write a poem about the frontier soldiers!"

As the emperor's words fell, several people sat in the seats in front of them.

Zhong Chu had never experienced the desolation of the ancient frontier, so he really couldn't write any good poems.After thinking about it, I said [-] words of shame to my ancestor Wang Changling in my heart, and directly said

"The luminous glass of wine,

Want to drink Pipa immediately.

Drunk lying on the battlefield, Lord Grim,

How many people fought back in ancient times. "

The poem was copied on a scroll.

Taking other people's things is always a bit guilty. Fortunately, he had taken the exam before and there were no such big bosses in the world of Red Mansions. Otherwise, Zhong Chu would feel hehe.His ideas and theories are passable, and his poems and songs are really the shortcomings of modern people!

This poem can be written silently because he is familiar with it. The ancient emperor was the big boss. No matter what, he must leave a good impression so that he can get promoted and raise his salary in the future!

When the paper was handed in, Zhong Chu watched the paper carefully, sat obediently and waited for the emperor to read the paper, and then distributed it to other officials for reading.

"What a drunk lying on the battlefield, Lord Grim!"

"The first round, poems and songs, No.1, Qiongzhou Zhongchu!"

Zhong Chu was really shocked. Sure enough, the talent of the ancestor was unmatched, and he was so admirable!

"Thank you Lord Ron!"

Li Yizhi glanced at Zhong Chu curiously, and then continued to focus on Zhao Xiaomian. Zhao Xiaomian was sitting on pins and needles, and Li Yizhi didn't know how to restrain himself under the feet of the emperor.

Nan Feiyan was taken aback for a moment, he thought that he would be the first to catch it with his talent.Sure enough, there are mountains beyond mountains, and people cannot be proud of their talents!

"Second question, how to stabilize the country and define the border!"

To fight against the outside world, we must first settle down at home, this is the truth throughout the ages.However, now that the border is in chaos, General Qian's family and his family are all guarding the border to resist foreign enemies.

Zhong Chu understood what to write, picked up the pen and filled two pages with eloquence.

Put away the pen and dry the handwriting.

He was a little nervous inside, and the others didn't give in too much.

"Report! Eight hundred miles urgent report!"

A panting orderly rushed in and bowed directly to the emperor!

"General Qian was injured by the enemy, and he is too seriously injured to defend against the enemy! General Chen is critically ill, and there is no one guarding Mobei, so General Qian will defend it to the death! Your Majesty, please send troops for reinforcements!"

When the emperor heard it, he immediately stood up and his eyes were tearing. There is no such thing as the mood to control the paper.

"Where is General Yang?"

"Chen is here!"

"I order you to take an army of 50 to reinforce General Qian, and send an army of 15 from the Northwest and [-] from the South to go together!"

The emperor's voice was resounding, but the people below fell silent instantly.

Soon an official stood up and said: "Your Majesty must not!"
