Master fake high cold

Huangzhou Mansion is located in the most northwest position of Baiyue. It is not only extremely cold but also full of wind and sand in winter, so even in Fucheng, it is not very lively, but it is still more prosperous than Zhu County.

When the carriage entered the city gate, the speed slowed down, and the road became much smoother.

The driver of Li's mansion knew the way, he had sent their young lady to Fucheng to take the exam before, and he reined in the reins when he was near the examination room: "Miss, let's go to the hotel first or rent a yard at the tooth shop.

"You go to the dental office to rent a nearby yard, no matter how good it is, it's about the same as last time, and then find someone to clean it..." Li Jubai gave a few more instructions, and when he saw the sky, he was already ready to get acquainted with Mu Lan around the examination room environment.

The coachman received the order and made an appointment to pick up the people, and drove to the dental shop familiarly.

Mu Lan hugged her arms tightly and stood in a mess in the wind: "Master, what are we going to do next?"

It's not suitable to go out in such a cold day.

Suddenly, I felt that the carriage was not bad, at least it was much warmer than the street.

"The government school is not far away, there should still be people around at this time."

"What do you go to school for?" Mu Lan followed the principle of asking if you don't understand.

Li Jubai looked over indifferently: "The appointment of the imperial court is usually made before the year, and the chief examiner will go to each prefecture to be responsible for finalizing the test questions after the new year. At this time, you can ask where the chief examiner of Huangzhou Mansion is. A grown man."

Baiyue's government examinations are all appointed by the emperor as the chief examiner, and they are usually selected from the six departments or the Imperial Academy. Once you know which adult it is, you can easily understand which aspects the government examination questions focus on.

Especially the most important policy questions. For example, if the examiner this time is a member of the Ministry of War, then at least one of the two policy questions is related to the things under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of War. This is already an unwritten rule.

Mu Lan had never participated in the imperial examination, but thinking that Li Jubai had experience, she obediently followed behind.

Li Jubai walked in front, and when passing by the bookstore, he bought a few more books and handed them to Mu Lan: "In addition to reviewing the previous knowledge, you also need to quickly familiarize yourself with the contents of these books."

Mu Lan casually flipped through the catalog, mostly current affairs, political affairs and some new policies of the imperial court in recent years.

"Thank you, master."

She didn't say that she knew more in the capital than what was recorded in these books, and blindly refusing others' kindness would only push the other party away.

Now their relationship is neither far nor close, and more exchanges like this will help them get to know each other quickly.

After all, we will get along for a long time in the future.

Li Jubai saw that she didn't pay much attention to her expression, so he said seriously: "Compared to the fact that the capital is close to the political center, these contents are a shortcoming for us in remote counties, you have to pay attention, otherwise you will suffer in the exam. "

There is no way around this. Ordinary students, especially those in poor and remote areas like Zhu County, suffer even more in the imperial examinations, because they have limited contact with each other, and it is difficult to control current and political affairs.

The reason why she was able to get the first place was because her father knew a lot from traveling all over the world, and arranged these things early on.

This is the first time for Mu Lan, and there is a high probability that she will not hit, and then she can slowly make up for this shortcoming, and try hard next time.

Originally, Li Jubai didn't have much confidence in this student, but thinking of Mu Lan's views on strategy questions and those violations, she couldn't help but have a little hope, so she bought the book, maybe she won it for the first time?

Mu Lan nodded silently, expressing that she would take it seriously.

After the two of them came out of the school, Li Jubai felt a little regretful looking at Mu Lan who was walking with her head bowed and preoccupied.

Maybe the student shouldn't be put under pressure, and shouldn't have the slightest expectation.

"You don't need to worry too much. If it doesn't work this time, there will be a next time. It's just to accumulate experience."

Mu Lan hugged the book tightly in her arms, and said back to God, "I will definitely win this time."

She will definitely win, because the examiner is from the Ministry of Housing.

Mr. Yu, the servant of the fourth-rank household department, is Daddy's subordinate.

In the past, I would visit the House of the Minister of the Household Department every now and then, and call her my niece.

Mu Lan had a very good impression of this lord, she was just thinking about whether to reveal her identity at that time, or whether to inquire about the affairs of Shangshufu from the side.

Li Jubai didn't know what was going on in her heart, so seeing her full of confidence, he nodded and didn't speak again.

The servants of Li's mansion were very thoughtful, and the rented yard was not far from the examination room, surrounded by ordinary residents, and some distance from the street, relatively speaking, it was relatively quiet.

The coachman also found a cook who was in charge of cooking and a maid who was in charge of cleaning. Considering that Li Jubai and Mu Lan were both women, he didn't hire a servant, and directly took over the job of guarding the door.

After settling down, Mu Lan began to study hard day and night. If it wasn't for the sound of firecrackers on New Year's Eve and the dumplings that are indispensable for the New Year's Eve dinner in the north, she wouldn't even know it was a new year up.

Li Jubai randomly checked some content, and nodded approvingly: "I have made a lot of progress, and you should also pay attention to rest."

"Master, don't worry, I will eat and sleep well." Mu Lan smiled, she is not willing to rest, she is the most unsure about the classics and righteousness, and now time is tight, how can I dare to take a day off? Rest more.

If she wanted to return to Beijing as soon as possible, she had to take the government exam this time, so that she could return to Beijing in a logical manner, in order to participate in the exam next year, and to seek revenge on the man who killed her as soon as possible.

Time was ticking against the clock, and in March of Baiyue 259, the triennial government examination finally started. Mu Lan and six other students from Zhu County lined up to enter the examination room.

Li Jubai stood in the crowd, dressed in a light blue robe, plain and elegant, with an indifferent and outstanding face that attracted people around to look and look quietly.

Before Mu Lan went in, she turned her head and saw Li Jubai with exquisite eyebrows and eyes. She raised her eyebrows and smiled, feeling sorry for others in her heart. Such a beauty is already her wife, what a pity, a pity.

Li Jubai, who was staring at her, also bent his lips and returned a shallow smile when he saw this. In an instant, the surroundings lost all color.

Mu Lan was a little astonished for a moment, then quickly withdrew her gaze, wondering why the master was laughing so hard, it just made people upset.

However, the master smiles so beautifully.

It seems that I have never seen her smile, which is really rare.

The Baiyue Mansion Examination is divided into three rounds. The first round is the most basic sutras and meanings. The top [-] people will be selected to continue the next poetry and prose exam, and then the top [-] people will be selected for the third round of strategy exams, so It is said that policy questions are the most important, which directly determines the ranking of candidates.

In the end, there were only 30 people on the list, and Baiyue had a total of 21 prefectures and one autonomous prefecture, which means that this year, more than 600 people were admitted nationwide.

These 600 people are candidates who have the qualifications to fill vacancies, and they can fill small sesame officials such as county magistrates. Go to Beijing to take the exam.

In the examination room, Mu Lan stared at Yu Shilang who was sitting in the examiner's seat, and almost blurted out Uncle Yu.

It's a pity that there is no chance to come forward to talk now, so I can only wait for the opportunity at the Lu Ming Banquet.

Yes, she will definitely win, she will definitely be able to attend the Luming Banquet, and then she must have a talk with Yu Shilang.

It took two days to finish the first test, and the ranking was not known until the third day. After returning home, Mu Lan was a little nervous, because Jing Yi was her shortcoming, and she didn't do well in the answers.

On the day of making the list, she stood in the crowd and looked back from the head. She didn't have her name in the top [-].

Seeing 1, the names of the other six people from the county school are all on it, but hers is still not there.

Mu Lan panicked and tugged on Li Jubai's sleeve: "Master, if I fail the first match, will you still support me to go back to Beijing?" She didn't want to wait another three years!

Li Jubai turned his head to meet a worried face.

She was silent, and took the initiative to hold Mu Lan's hand.

"If you want to go to the capital, go, I'm just about to take part in the examination next year."

She wanted to know why this person had such a deep obsession with going to the capital, and she was also curious about the secret behind the completely different handwriting.

So just take it as a way to clear up the doubts in your heart, and go to the capital.

Mu Lan breathed a sigh of relief subconsciously, her gaze returned to the red list, and then she looked up from the last place, only to see her own name at first glance.

the last one!

She was embarrassed a little.

Countdown No.2 is also a familiar name: Shaowang.
