[The Legend of Zhen Huan] Rebirth of An Lingrong

In March of Yangchun, everything is revived. This is a poetic season, a season of vitality, and a season of examinations that determine the official careers of many students.

The general examination was held in March in the Gongyuan of the capital. The examination, marking, field rules, and examination content were basically the same as those of the rural examination. There were three examinations in total, three days each, which meant that it would take a total of nine days!

March in the capital is still freezing cold, and candidates are not allowed to wear interlayer clothes, so they can only wear leather clothes without a face or felt blankets without a lining to keep out the cold, which is very painful.

Ling Rong didn't accompany Ling Zhi to the Gongyuan, because Ling Zhi didn't want Ling Rong to be frozen, so Ling Rong could only wait anxiously in the house.The days of waiting were extremely long, and Mausoleum had trouble sleeping and eating, and lost a lot of weight in just a few days.

After finally making it to the last day of the examination, Ling Rong took Qingyu and Liuli to the gate of the Gongyuan early to wait.The gate of the tribute courtyard was crowded with people, and Ling Rong could only leave the carriage and squeeze through on foot.

As soon as Ling Zhi left the gate of the tribute courtyard, Ling Rong led people to welcome him up. Ling Zhi's face was a little pale, and his body was shaking slightly. Several people hurriedly helped Ling Zhi into the carriage.Hot water, pastries, and warm clothes were prepared on the carriage.

"Brother, are you better?" Ling Rong looked at Ling Zhi distressedly.

After drinking a bowl of hot tea, Ling Zhi felt that he had come back to life. He looked at the worried Ling Rong and comforted him: "Brother is fine, Ronger don't worry."

"It's fine, it's fine." Ling Rong smiled for the first time these days.

"Rong'er, your complexion is so bad, you haven't had a good rest these days." Ling Zhi looked at Ling Rong distressedly, "It's my brother who is not good, and Rong'er is worried."

"Let's not talk about this anymore, brother, let's go home." Ling Rong stopped Ling Zhi from saying sorry, and said with a smile.They are close relatives and don't need these courtesies.

"Okay, let's go home." Ling Zhi understood the appearance of the mausoleum, so he stopped talking and let the carriage drive the two of them on their way home.

The list will be released in April, and the Chinese-style ones are called tributes. Those who pass the test will then have to take part in the re-examination.In fact, in the early Qing Dynasty, Gong Shi didn't conduct reexamination at all, but later in the 51st year of Kangxi, a fraud case occurred in the examination room, which had a profound impact, and a reexamination was conducted after that meeting.Since then, retests have gradually become customized.

On the third day after the test, both Ling Zhi and Ling Rong regained their energy, and Ling Rong suggested that everyone go out for an outing in the outskirts of the city together.

In March, the wind is bathed, and the empty mountains are filled with clouds.Walking with the crowd, overlooking the green hills outside the building, the bright sun is boiling blood, and the cypress trees next to it are full of color, and it looks like a peerless dancer who is drunk, pink-faced peach blossoms, drunk eyes, and beautiful mouth.

"The spring in the capital has a special taste, and it is nothing like the one in my hometown." Ling Zhi rode his horse lightly and said with emotion.

"The sun is shining brightly in spring, which makes people feel warm all over. It's really comfortable." Ling Rong got off his horse, opened his arms, and faced the spring breeze, embracing the warm sun. His bright smile was warmer than the scorching sun.

"Such a beautiful spring, how about Rong'er dancing for my brother?" Looking at the happy Ling Rong, Ling Zhi moved his heart and suggested.

"Okay! Brother, come and play music for me." Ling Rong nodded happily and agreed.

A song of spring soul, with a beautiful heart.Under the blue sky and white clouds, a girl in a peach-red riding suit is dancing to her heart's content, as agile as the peach blossoms flying in the mountains; the sound of flute, singing, and laughter spread farther and farther with the spring breeze, whoever is in the ears, and who is fascinated heart of.Ling Rong and Ling Zhile were so happy that they didn't even notice that someone was watching them not far away, until Ling Rong finished the song, that person left.

It was noon, and Ling Rong and Ling Zhi had a simple and delicious meal in the suburbs, and it was really interesting to have a picnic once in a while.After lunch, the group of people continued to take a leisurely outing to enjoy the scenery, and did not return home until the sun was setting.

After that day, the days returned to the original track, and Lexus was still studying in the room, preparing for the re-examination.Ling Rong took Liuli and sapphire to the streets from time to time to look at the fashionable jewelry hairpins and clothes styles in Kyoto. Occasionally, he would draw a pattern of Zhang Zhuchai when he got an idea, and his life was nourishing.

It's not that Ling Rong has never thought about setting up a shop in Kyoto, but the price of goods in Kyoto is too high, and there are many high-ranking officials and dignitaries. Most of the shops have their own backers behind them, so she dare not do anything rashly.

On this day, Ling Rong and his group wandered the street again, and unknowingly came to a street they hadn't walked before.There are carved beams and painted buildings everywhere, decorated with lanterns and festoons. The strange thing is that there are almost no people on the street.

"Miss, this place is so strange, the gates are closed everywhere in broad daylight, don't these people do business?" Qingyu asked strangely.

"Let's leave here first." Lingrong and Liuli hurriedly pulled the curious Qingyu away from this place.

Ling Rong felt a little unlucky, and accidentally walked to the place of fireworks. If this was known, her reputation would be ruined.Returning to the room with lingering fear, Ling Rong was determined not to go out again for the next few days.In fact, Lingrong itself does not underestimate the women in the brothel, after all, there are many amazingly talented women and strong women with a heart for their homeland among these women.It's just that she is a woman after all, and it can be said that it is an elegant affair for a man to go there, but for a woman, there is only self-respect left.

Ling Rong stayed quietly in the house for two days, it was already the end of March, and it was time for the exam to release the rankings.Although the unsuccessful Juren can also be selected for official positions, it is different from the successful Jinshi after all.As the days approached day by day, the atmosphere at home became a little dignified.

The third day of April, the day when the rankings are released.As soon as the list was posted, it was immediately surrounded by people, and voices of joy or sorrow kept coming out, and the crowd stayed together for a long time.

Ling Rong looked at the list that was always leaking not far away, feeling anxious, and sent out the few servants he had brought with him.Finally, after an hour, I got the accurate news.

"I got it! I got it! Young master got all three subjects!" Shitou squeezed out panting, shouting while panting.

"Hit it?! Can you see it clearly?" Ling Rong confirmed nervously.

"Look...you can see clearly...Young Master, you are 8th in one subject, 12th in one subject, and No. [-] in one subject! You are No. [-] in the total score! Can you see clearly?" Shitou said excitedly.

"Brother! This is really great! You got hit!" Ling Rong grabbed Ling Zhi's sleeve excitedly, his eyes couldn't hide his joy.

"Yeah, that's great." Ling Zhi's hanging heart finally returned to his stomach.

"Let's wait a little longer before going back, I still want to go and see for myself." After the excitement, Ling Rong suggested.

"Okay, it's according to Rong'er." Ling Zhi pulled up the cloak hat for Ling Rong, and then said: "It's windy here, let's go to the restaurant over there to have a rest. It's almost noon today, and we will be here Use your lunch there."

"Well, good." After speaking, the brother and sister took a few attendants to the nearby "Taibai Restaurant".

After a few people had lunch, the people in front of the list gradually dispersed.Only then did Ling Rong and Ling Zhi leave the restaurant, and went to check in front of the list.When I really saw the name of Lexus on the list in person, I was completely at ease.

"Brother! Let's go back and seal the family letter to our parents to announce the good news! My brother is now a tribute! You must hurry up and tell your mother, they must be in a hurry. Ah! There is also a celebration banquet! Qingyu, go back and let the mother Mama, prepare good wine and good food! By the way, I have to send someone to inform my aunt and Aunt Fen..." Ling Rong excitedly pulled Ling Zhi to chat.

It was rare for Ling Zhi to see Ling Rong so happy, so he let it go and turned around the maids and servants.Ling Rong's excitement lasted until the end of the celebration banquet the next day before subsiding.

In the following days, Ling Zhi also relaxed a lot. The palace examination will not be held until a month later, and the re-examination only takes one subject, which is much easier than the general examination.A few days after the results were released, Ling Zhi went out to debate and discuss some current affairs with other students, increase his knowledge, and prepare for the final palace examination.

There are many places where students like to go, such as Qinlou Chuguan, so these days Ling Zhi often comes back with some makeup on his body.Ling Rong didn't think much about it, but Qingyu was very curious about those Qinlou and Chuguan, and often asked Ximo to gossip.Ling Zhi only went out for the first three or two days to relax, and then stayed at home to study.

In mid-April, all the tributes will undergo a re-examination in the Palace of Preservation and Harmony.In the re-examination, one article of "Four Books" and one poem with five characters and eight rhymes will be handed in on the same day.The next day, the minister of examination papers was sent to evaluate the results, so this time the exam, whether it was Ling Zhi or Ling Rong, was much easier.

The test results were announced soon, Lexus ranked ninth, fortunately in the first class, and qualified to participate in the palace test!Ling Rong was so excited that he just wanted to hold Ling Zhi and cry.Soon after the re-examination is the palace examination.

The palace examination is held under the steps of the East and West Pavilion of the Hall of Supreme Harmony in the Imperial Palace.The content of the palace examination is a discussion on current affairs and policies. The minister who reads the paper draws up a number of questions, which are circled by the emperor as the final test questions.Ling Zhi nervously answered the examination papers in the palace, while Ling Rong waited anxiously at home.It's just that time will never go faster because of your eagerness, and the torment continues.On the next day of the palace examination, the ministers who read the papers gathered in the Wenhua Palace to mark the papers, and the exams went back to their homes to wait for the final news.

There are a total of 8 reading ministers who will mark the papers. They will divide all the test papers equally.The approval of the final grades is generally pushed to the chief reading minister, and other people participate in the comments.After the grades are evaluated, the chief minister of examination papers will submit the top ten books to the emperor, and the ranking will be determined and introduced, which is called Xiaozhuanlu.

Ling Zhi's grades are very stable, No. 12 in the general examination, No. 9 in the re-examination, and improved a little in the palace examination, ranking eighth!Fortunately, I was called into the palace when I passed on the story of Xiaochuan Lu, and I was able to see the sky.The next day, all the tribute scholars were summoned in the Hall of Supreme Harmony, and all the rankings were announced. Lexus ranked No. 8 in the second class, and he was granted a Jinshi background.

Ling Zhi is young and has potential, and he is still more conspicuous among the candidates, and was later selected as a good scholar by the management.Shujishi is equivalent to the official position of the sixth rank. In fact, he has no clear official position, but he is a close minister of the emperor, and his future is immeasurable.

When the news came, Ling Rong was waiting anxiously at home. When she learned that Ling Zhi had to bestow a good fortune, she was so moved that she couldn't express it in words. She just wanted to offer incense to reward God immediately.

She wants to thank God for giving her a chance to start over, and more importantly, thank God for giving her such an excellent brother!Her brother has always said that he will be her last backing, and from now on, she will work hard to let her brother go higher and further!
