Du's father discussed with Du Qingchen, and finally decided not to tell Su's mother and Su Dong about this matter. He was afraid that Su's mother would know if Su Dong knew about it. not good.With Du's father's words, Du Qingchen also felt at ease to conceal this matter, not afraid that Su Dong would blame him for concealing this matter in the future.

Soon, it was the day when Du Rulin took the exam, and the Du family carefully prepared all kinds of supplies.In order to prepare dry food, Du Qingchen also specially dried some vermicelli for Du Rulin, put them in a small round basin to dry, and after drying, they became round "instant noodles", and prepared seasoning packets for Du Rulin to eat during the exam , so as not to be like other students who can only eat dry food, the delicious brewed 'instant noodles' are out of the oven, and the vermicelli is transparent, so you can't hide things, and the proctors will not break open for inspection during the search. Ordinary steamed buns Wowotou always has to break open to see if there is a hidden note.

"Brother, we're going in." Du Rulin got out of the carriage, and Liu Tai and the others followed.

"Be careful!" Du Qingchen also jumped down. Those who came to send a few teenagers to the exam included him, Father Du, Master Liu and Su Junxia. The others stayed at home.

"Understood." Du Rulin waved his hand, confidently carrying his bags and going to line up.

"Don't be nervous, just play normally."

"Don't worry! Brother." Several teenagers waved towards Du Qingchen before entering the examination room and being checked one by one.

Du Qingchen watched several people enter before returning to the car. Master Liu sat in the car with a heavy expression on his face. When Du Qingchen saw him, he quickly persuaded him with a smile, "Master, don't worry. The four of them are good at school. They will definitely pass the exam this time." Come back, don't worry."

Master Liu sighed again, "I'm not worried about them failing the exam, I'm only worried about them passing the exam."

Du Qingchen was taken aback. How can a father or a teacher not want his disciples and sons to pass the exam?

Mrs. Liu felt that Du Qingchen couldn't understand his worries at all, and sighed, "Once you enter the officialdom, it's as deep as the sea. If you pass the examination of a scholar, you will take the first step in the official career."

"Isn't the first step in the official career a Jinshi?" Du Qingchen asked in a daze.

Mrs. Liu gave Du Qingchen a blank look, "Such young talents, isn't that eye-catching?!" That's called stepping in, okay?

Du Qingchen saw that Mrs. Liu was a little angry, and nodded quickly, "Yes, yes! What the master said is true, it is indeed worrying!" Du Qingchen also sighed pretendingly.

It's just...he doesn't know that the officialdom is dangerous, so he started to educate Du Rulin about his black belly early on, and now, it has achieved quite a lot of results.Of course, he didn't bring along Liu Tai and Qiu Jin.

For one thing, Liu Tai has a pure personality, and he is in the same line as Master Liu. I am afraid that he will not be able to teach him. Qiu You usually does not show off, and he takes a clumsy way. He is not suitable for a black belly. As for Qiu Jin, he is timid and cowardly. , the hope of passing the exam is slim, and even if he passes the exam, there is still no prospect of success. Coupled with the fact that he is not familiar with it, Du Qingchen will not teach him these things.What's more, he couldn't tell outsiders about those conspiracies and calculations, so he didn't take them with him.

Du Qingchen didn't expect that Mr. Liu was worried about these things, and he was also kind and loving.

Du Qingchen reassured: "You don't have to worry too much, master. They have been classmates for many years and their studies are good. In the future, they may be able to pass the Jinshi examination together and become officials together. They will definitely help each other."

This is a natural alliance, a relationship that cannot be changed even if some of them change their original intentions. After all, no one else will trust someone who can betray even his classmates, the same subjects, the same subjects, the same hometown, the best friends, and the best friends.

Only then did Master Liu feel relieved, and nodded silently, "That's right, at least, Brother Tao is protecting them." As soon as they entered the officialdom, these youngsters naturally belonged to the lineage of the Fifth Prince, and with his affection, In addition, they belong to the same camp, so they can also get some protection.

In the examination hall, Du Rulin's face instantly collapsed, and the confidence just now disappeared without a trace. The actions he just made were just to appease Du's father and Du Qingchen, so that they don't have to worry about him.

Qiu You patted him on the shoulder, "It's okay, we will pass the exam."

Not only do I need to pass the exam, but I also need a good ranking to win Min Anshi's favor!Du Rulin thought sadly that Du Rulin had visited the Min Mansion again, but the concierge refused to come back on the grounds that Mr. Min was not there, but the concierge also said, "I will be happy when you come again after the young master has passed the examination as a scholar." . ', Du Rulin felt that this was what Mr. Min meant, and he understood that Mr. Min wanted him to pass the examination as a scholar before he would teach him again.

Famous teachers are hard to find, especially for ordinary students like him, it is even more difficult to ask for advice from famous teachers, Du Rulin is unwilling to give up.

Liu Tai also came over, blinked and looked at Du Rulin curiously, teasingly said: "I know why Rulin is so nervous, could it be that Brother Xia is still waiting for Rulin to pass the exam so he can propose marriage?"

When Du Rulin heard this, he immediately raised his hand to hit him, but was stopped by the invigilator, "Rugging is prohibited in the examination hall!" Du Rulin put it down, and continued to line up obediently.

But Du Rulin still gave Liu Tai a blank look, "Don't talk nonsense, you have a bad reputation!"

"Did I say something wrong?" Liu Tai chuckled.

Liu Tai also visited Master Xia with Du Rulin, Qiu You, etc., so he also met the brother of Xia's family. He has a gentle personality and can make delicious snacks. Brother Xia would also blush at Du Rulin. Liu Tai once tried to talk to him, wanting to see if Brother Xia was naturally shy, or if he was only shy towards Du Rulin.

As a result, Brother Xia seemed to treat him as a younger brother, talked to him generously, and even touched his head with a smile, as if he was an elder, and made Liu Tai angry for a long time, but he I'm sure, Du Rulin and Xia's brother are definitely having tricks.

Liu Tai couldn't hold back his thoughts, so he went to ask Du Rulin. Although Du Rulin blushed and denied it, Liu Tai still affirmed it. From then on, teasing Du Rulin became his daily way of provoking Du Rulin, but he still had a sense of proportion. Yes, he never showed anything in front of Mrs. Liu, Du Qingchen and others. He only joked in private when there were only Qiu You and Du Rulin, so this matter was still a secret to Du Qingchen and other adults.

Du Rulin blushed silently. He worked hard to get a good rank in the exam. Naturally... it was also because of the brother of the Xia family.

Although the Xia family is now in decline and can only earn a living as a master in the Tao Mansion, it was once a family of officials and a scholarly family, and everyone else knows that the Xia family was implicated. I respect Master Xia very much, for such a family, it is enough to teach him a little on weekdays, but they will not choose him if they really want to marry him off, unless he is exceptionally good enough to cover up his background!

He wants to protect his family, be worthy of the trust of his father and elder brother, and become the pillar of the family. If Master Xia recognizes him and accepts his proposal to marry his elder brother, he must be very good!Therefore, one must get a good rank in the exam, in order to be appreciated by Min Anshi, and to be more sure of winning the Juren, or even Jinshi.

Sometimes Du Rulin felt that he was not a good person at all. Min Anshi once said, "I don't like people who are very active." ’, but Du Rulin knew that he was such a hard-working person, and everyone said that differences were not conspiring with each other, and he never thought about how close he could be to Min Anshi, he just hoped that he would teach him, for this purpose , He will pass the exam, and he will pretend that he has no desires and desires, but only devotes himself to learning, as long as he can get what he wants.

"Ru Lin." Qiu You, who had already checked his bags, bumped into Du Rulin, why was he in a daze, he was about to enter the examination room.

Du Rulin came back to his senses, handed over the things he was carrying, and handed them over to the guards for inspection, his eyes gradually became firmer.

When the exam was over, when Du Rulin and the others came out, the carriage had already come to pick them up. Du Qingchen didn't ask Du Rulin how the exam was, and he warned his family members not to ask. If Du Rulin wanted to say it, he would say it himself. talk.

After a while, the exam results were announced. This time, Du Rulin and the others did not have the honor of being called out at the Tao Mansion banquet last time. Find your own name.

Du's father got up early in the morning and arrived at the entrance of the examination institute before dawn. It was useless even if Du Qingchen stopped him a few times. It wasn't until noon that the Examination Institute sent officials to post the list. The guards stopped in front to block the raging crowd. Du's father came early, so he grabbed a good position early, and Du Qingchen was also close to Du's father, protecting him from the crowd. was crowded.

"Father, you are illiterate, just let me be here alone, you go and wait!" The crowd moved and crowded, Du Qingchen, a man in his twenties, was a bit overwhelmed. The enthusiasm was too high, and Du Qingchen was worried about Du's father's health, so he had to persuade him.

"No!" Du's father was very determined, staring at the boss, staring at the officials posting the list. Although he didn't know many words, the three words Du Rulin were familiar and he could recognize them!He must know the result immediately!

After the crowd, Du Rulin and the others did not follow the crowd to the crowd, but honestly followed Du Qingchen's request and stood far away, out of the crowd.

Qiu You's personality was considered stable, but seeing the back of the head in front of him, he couldn't help but said, "How about we squeeze in and have a look?" He also wanted to know about such a big event sooner!Standing behind so calmly, he actually couldn't stand still.

"No," Du Rulin refused, telling himself to stay steady, "There's no need to squeeze in, we can still hit it, don't you have confidence?"

"Yes!" Qiu You felt that he did well in the exam, but he still wanted to know the ranking!

Du Rulin's eyes were wide open, staring at the direction of the list, and he didn't seem so stable.

Qiu You turned to Liu Tai, "Do you want to go in and have a look?"

Liu Tai looked calm, and replied seriously, "Even if you squeeze in, it's useless! We're not tall, so we can't see it at all!"
