The sick man turned out to be a loyal dog

In early April, the imperial examinations began.

The so-called hard study for ten years is only for one day of fame.Most of these scholars study hard on the books of sages and sages, and in the end, they just hope that they will be appointed officials and ministers one day, and return home in good clothes.

Tang Yanxiu came here in the same way, and Shen Ning also had such a life-changing exam. Thinking of what he had experienced, he couldn't help feeling a little bit emotional.

And this time the chief examiner is Tang Yanxiu.

As the prime minister, Tang Yanxiu is a first-rank official, and he was once the top three. The so-called chief examiner naturally does not need him to go to the examination room to stare at him all the time. The records, as well as the exam papers sent in at the end, are enough.

"I didn't expect to be so leisurely." Thinking of my nervousness during the exam, the difference is really big.

"If you can pass the exam, you will definitely pass the exam. Why are you nervous?" Tang Yanxiu sat aside, the sun shone down warmly, not dazzling or hot, and the two little guys were basking in the sun with their papas on the small wooden bed. The two of them thought of an idea and asked someone to make it. It is a little bigger than a shaker, but similar to a shaker.

"That's not necessarily the case." I knew that there were still many people who failed the exam due to their own reasons. Luck and strength are indispensable.

"Tell me, will these two little guys take the imperial examination in the future?" Shen Ning glanced at the buns and rice in the shaker, sleeping soundly.

"Follow them." Tang Yanxiu ignored the fact that his youngest son was not allowed to take the imperial examination.

"My lord, the Minister of the Ministry of Rites is here to visit." A servant came to report.

"What did you say?"

"It's because of the exam."

Since it was something he was in charge of now, Tang Yanxiu asked someone to come in. Shen Ning originally thought that the two of them were talking about business, and he should avoid it, but Tang Yanxiu stopped him.

"It's not a big deal, it doesn't matter." In fact, even if it's a big deal, it doesn't matter if Shen Ning stays here.

When Minister of Rites came in, he saw Shen Ning, he was surprised for a moment, then remembered that this should be the Prime Minister's Zhengjun, so he looked away.

"My lord, Zhai Renjie, I pay my respects to the Prime Minister and the Zhengjun."

"Master Zhai is exempt."

Shen Ning looked at this middle-aged and elderly official with a beard, slightly gray hair, and a slightly fat body, and heard him announce his name, and almost spit out a mouthful of water.

"Di, Di Renjie?" Isn't Di Renjie from Kaifeng Mansion?How come here?Thinking of the Yuan Fang she once said, Shen Ning suddenly became playful.

"Does Lord Zhai have a subordinate named Yuan Fang?" Shen Ning was talking about it on a whim, but he didn't expect Master Shangshu to ask with a puzzled face: "There is a subordinate named Yuan Fang, how did Zhengjun get it?" Know?"

Shen Ning really spit this time, fortunately he didn't have tea in his mouth, so he just coughed twice, it's fine if Di Renjie had it, but even Yuan Fang also had it, Yaoshou, these two people also crossed?

Tang Yanxiu naturally remembered what Shen Ning had said about "Yuan Fang" at the beginning, and he was afraid that he would accidentally slip up, so he helped him round it up, saying that he only knew about it when he mentioned it to Shen Ning, and that the Minister of Rites also No doubt.

When he returned to his mansion after discussing with Tang Yanxiu, thinking about this matter, the more he thought about it, the more wrong it became.

Yuan Fang is his most capable right-hand man. He basically doesn't see anyone and only helps him with some hidden things. This Prime Minister Zhengjun is just a brother who stays at home. How could he know?

"Yuan Fang, how do you see?"

Lord Zhai frowned, he really couldn't think of what the prime minister meant by this move.

"My lord, there must be something strange about this matter!" Yuan Fang didn't expect to be mentioned, "Could it be that the prime minister is warning us?"

"Maybe, the imperial examination is about to start, and there is no room for mistakes. The prime minister must want to tell me, even if he is not here, he can know what we have done." This Minister of Rites is a clear and upright person. , he is not disgusted, but in the next work, he will do his best and save Tang Yanxiu a lot of trouble.

Shen Ning didn't know that his temporary brain twitch brought about such consequences, but Di Renjie and Yuan Fang are really good partners!In another world, it was still the two of them.

After the affairs of these two people, the imperial examination officially began.

For this test, Shen Ning specially asked the cooks to research a cake together, which was required to be durable and taste better, and to make more flavors. Later, after the research of the cooks, he really made such a cake. It can be kept for a few days when eating, and it can be eaten dry or soaked in water for dipping in sauce. The tastes are different, but they are really good. Therefore, Shen Ning called it "Zhuangyuan cake" and asked the restaurant to give it to the restaurant for free. Each student is presented with one, which means wishing them high school.

The acting shopkeeper of the restaurant didn't know Shen Ning's intentions at first, but after thinking about it for a while, he understood.

They give each student a piece of cake, which seems to be a loss, but with so many students, who can guarantee that the person who eats their cake will not go to high school?As long as one is in high school and gets a good ranking, from now on, this cake will make money!

Among this group of people, some people also came to the capital.

"Shan Zhang, this cake is quite delicious." A young student in a scholar's uniform gnawed on the cake in his hand, his face was full of novelty.

"A restaurant." A student who was also wearing a scholar's uniform looked a little excited when he saw the familiar name in front of him.

"Shan Zhang, tell me, could this be the shopkeeper..."

"Let's compete with peace of mind first, after the competition is over, we will see you naturally."

He said so, but although those two people said they came to the capital, they didn't clarify what they came for. Just now they also inquired with each other. Their shopkeeper's surname is neither Shen nor Tang.

Tang Qi nodded. He came to participate in a chess meeting this time, and accompanied a few classmates to take the exam. Now that he passed the exam, it would not be too late to find the two shopkeepers.

Shen Ning didn't know that Xiao Qizi, who was studying in the academy, had come to the capital. He had been busy with the restaurant business recently and had to take care of two baby dolls. Recently, restaurants have made a lot of money.

A few days later, the imperial examination was over.
