A little sweet through the fragrant

Treat it with a normal mind, and talk about other things in another day. "

Now there is another important matter. After passing the exam, they have to write letters home. There is a fixed number for this, and they want to post gold.

There are still people outside rushing to run errands to announce the good news to their hometown.

Lu Ying said outside, "Where are you announcing the good news? I can run faster. I didn't say that I can change to a different one now, and I can earn more."

The house that Yun Cheng was rewarded with seemed small, but there were marks on the saddles of Lu Ying and Cheng Wenrui, which meant that they were high-rank officials, and the locals knew it well.

Reminded by him, the outsiders gradually dispersed.

They left, but the busyness at home didn't end.

Ye Cunshan wrote two letters of good news, and sent one to Fucheng to his friends.Send one back to my hometown to announce the good news to the family.

Cun Yin was both happy and embarrassed, "I finished copying Ju Ren's painting that you passed the exam last time, but I haven't filled in the colors yet. Uncle said I need to practice again."

Ye Cunshan also had a smile on his face, "It's okay, save it."

After the letter was sent, there was no idle time at home.

Obviously there will be a palace examination later, and all kinds of banquets and entertainments will start to come one after another.

Some of them cannot be turned down, and the "Tongnianlu" should be engraved in the examination. When meeting in the same year, we should not only say thank you wine, but also talk about apprentice banquet.

Fang Shizuoshi, I have to pay homage again, and I have to pay homage to Confucius.

The palace examination was on March [-]th, a few days of social engagements were interrupted, and when Ye Cunshan was free to prepare for it, there was not much time for him.

Grand Master Cheng didn't say that he was late, and that the officialdom had been ups and downs for decades, but he knew these routines too well and couldn't stop them.

Cheng Wenhao also passed the test this time, and the two came to attend the class together.

What he said was the same as what Mr. Da Da said. The purpose of the trial strategy, the category of the trial strategy, and the precautions for the countermeasures, after listening to the words, it seemed that he hadn't listened.

Grand Master Cheng said: "There are only so many rules that should be there. When you come to the countermeasures, you can still remember them in your heart and not make mistakes. The palace test is over."

You must answer clearly, the article must be smooth, you must be able to express your views clearly and intuitively, and demonstrate your political ability, but you must not carry private goods or be paranoid.

The problem lies in the word "one's own opinion", and the countermeasure is to express one's own opinion, why can't one be paranoid about one's own opinion?

In response to this, Taishi Cheng gave them an answer of "objective".

Don't get stuck on "how do I answer this question", but think from multiple angles.

Political ability is nothing more than balance.

Balance the relationship between all parties and balance the interests of multiple parties.

Only from the perspective of "I", it is just a pawn on the chessboard.Jumping out is the chess player.

Because of the growth environment, Ye Cunshan is good at seeing the big from the small, and Cheng Wenhao is good at seeing the small from the big.

They were called to communicate and complement each other before, but now there is nothing else to say, it is time to test the results.

On the day of the palace examination, the selected candidates will change into their robes, crowns and boots, and arrange them according to their rankings. The examination will begin after the Holy Ascension Hall gives them advice and questions.

There is no semicolon in the exam, and you will be seated according to your name sign.

The exam period is one day, and the palace cake will be given, but no candles will be given.

In previous years, after the exam, you can go to the east corner gate to hand in the paper and leave. Today's handing in the paper is different from the past.

When you pass by, you will see a long queue, and all the people who handed in the papers are waiting here.

Going forward, I realized that it was the emperor who was drawing lots.

For the drawn questions, the paper is a unified test, while the lottery is for different questions, whichever is drawn counts.

This move was not revealed in the early stage, and many people were caught off guard.

In private, with my classmates and friends, I can give advice at length, but when it comes to the emperor, I stumble on three to five hundred words of countermeasures.

Later, someone came and led them to wait in the room, and the papers were accepted, but they had to be called before they could leave.

Ye Cunshan didn't compete for the submission of papers, it was in the mid-term. After waiting for a while, he heard his name, followed the leading eunuch, went to meet the emperor, and drew a strategy question with a lottery.

The policy questions in the unified answer sheet ask about classics and history, current affairs, and major issues at the moment. This is the hardest hit area for talking on paper.

The question of the lottery has come to the subtleties of people's livelihood, and it depends on their actual ability to handle affairs.

The topic Ye Cunshan drew was related to education, not about education in the imperial examination, but about "technical" education.

The three questions are not asked at the same time, but asked while discussing, talking to the emperor.

Ye Cunshan, after Yuncheng painted him the portrait of the emperor, would make a fuss about it in the future, imagining that the emperor would sit at the top and listen, and he didn't show any timidity at this time.

Technical education is convenient for him, because Yuncheng has held training courses.

A lot of ideas were put into practice, and he didn't help much at that time, but he was very clear about the overall process.

Not to mention that Yun Cheng is generous and willing to teach you anything.

In the single family, they all took several benefits.

These teachings are things that he can see the promotion and effect of, and they are very fluent in speaking.

He finally confessed, so the Holy Majesty asked him to draw another strategy question.

Ye Cunshan smoked honestly, and what he got was the food and housing related issues of the common people.

Ye Cunshan came from a mountain village, and board and lodging were once a problem. He is not the type to study in vain, he can find ways to make money by himself, and he can also work and handle errands, and he is neat everywhere.

Before speaking, he thought of Taishi Cheng's last point, and then remained silent for a while, adjusting the countermeasures.

The shortcomings and strengths are equally obvious, so he discussed together how to find the balance between the officials and the people.

The government has many considerations, and the people look at their own rice vats.To solve the problem, it is not to talk about the truth, but to put things into practice.

The core needs of the people can be highlighted by comparing the mental outlook of the villagers in Jinghe Village before and after.

They are fed and clothed, so they will not stare at other people's food baskets, and their excess energy can be turned into productivity.

Then expand to the boundary of Yu County, taking honeycomb coal and lotus root powder as examples.

These two are products that are available locally. Some people are willing to teach and share, and no one monopolizes them. The county master will maintain order, and everywhere is thriving.

It's not because there are too many people who do it, all of them are unsalable, it's true hard work that will pay off.

Only when you have enough food and clothing can you think about living, otherwise you can make do with it.

Ye Cunshan felt that he also had an advantage in this question, because he had already said it once, and it seemed that he was conceited and conceited when he mentioned it again, and the poor student had the most outstanding advantage in this point, so after the countermeasure, he quietly waited for the answer.

What was waiting was a question that had nothing to do with the current imperial examination policy, "Is your skin color natural or sun-dried?"

What Ye Cunshan said was true, all the men in the mountains are like him.

Working in the fields all over the village, how many white skins are there?

With the sun drying like this, it seems that he has worked a lot.

Looking back, he hadn't worked in the fields for several years, and the sun was less exposed, so his answers were still honest.

Said that there was a lot of exposure in the past, and it was not in vain to read books for several years.

After answering this question, he can go.

When we went out, it was already dark.

Outside the palace gate no idlers were allowed to stay, and those who had finished the exam before went out, and briefly said that there was an additional exam today, and it was normal to come out late, which could not resist the worries of the examinee's family.

There is a curfew at night, and it is difficult for ordinary people to go out.

It can't be too conspicuous, the Cheng family sent a carriage to wait nearby, and didn't go up to ask and chat.

Ye Cunshan came out earlier than Cheng Wenhao this time. When he arrived at the main street, he heard a familiar voice. He turned around and saw that it was his uncle who came to pick him up, and hurriedly greeted him.

In the other carriage, the second uncle was also there.

The candidates in the front all hesitated and hawed, not to mention what was added to the test, but their own family members could talk about it. I heard that the added test was still a policy question, and it was detailed to a certain point. When the second uncle heard it, his eyes went dark.

Cheng Wenhao and Cheng Wenrui received the same education at home, but because of their personality, they are naturally compassionate, caring for the weak, and have a compassionate heart. When they were young, they served porridge with their mother, and they could always ask why they were not taught to cook porridge. To solve the root cause, let them have the strength to do other things after they are full, and don't waste their will, instead of the hope that they only have a bowl of porridge every day, which is getting more and more depressed.

But Cheng Wenhao didn't know the hardships of the people. What he saw was that there were too many refugees, so he needed to send more people.Disaster relief is one aspect, and suppression is another aspect. It is an "overweight" solution to the problem.

He got down from the carriage, with cold sweat on his forehead, "Brother, Wen Hao..."

Cheng Lifeng glanced at him, "Why are you panicking? There is no scoring for this question."

No scoring, but the emperor has a steelyard in his heart!

Cheng Lifeng asked someone to take Ye Cunshan back, and he took his second brother into the car to chat, "When Wen Rui went south, Wen Rui invited Wen Hao to go with him, what did you say?"

It is said that Wen Hao is still young, and he can't finish reading at home, and when it's time to travel thousands of miles, he doesn't want to suffer from that.

That year, both Wen Ruiwenjie and Lu Ying went south one after another. When they left, they did it for their own private affairs. When they came back, they all grew up individually.

Cheng Lifeng doesn't advocate elevating people to high positions to study, he doesn't know what's inside.

Besides, "Where does he end?"

Cheng Wenhao has the basics, he is taught carefully at home, and he is also eager to learn by himself. Even if he can't answer this question well, at most he won't rank well.

After the imperial examination, there must be an opportunity to cultivate experience.

On the other end, Ye Cunshan arrived home.

Both Yuncheng and Cunyin were looking around in front of the door. When they saw the carriage approaching, they took two steps outside.

The uncle sent someone to pass a message, saying that there was an additional test today, and told them to rest early, and the Cheng family would pick them up in a carriage.

Where can they sleep?When Ye Cunshan got off the carriage, he was relieved to see that he was in good spirits, his eyes were bright, and he didn't look like he was being beaten.

Yuanyuan ate dinner, and Yuncheng and Cunyin couldn't eat any more. After welcoming him into the room, he brought hot water to wash his face and wiped his hands, and changed his robe to put on normal clothes. When he sat at the table, the food had already been reheated Pass.

Ye Cunshan said that everything went well today, "The answers to the questions went smoothly."

He also toasted Yuncheng, "There is a question, I need you to raise it."

This is going to be explained in detail, everyone loves to hear it.

Aunt Pingzhi and the others didn't go to bed early, and they were all standing in the main room, looking at him eagerly.

Hearing that he answered the questions smoothly, his eyes lit up.

In detail, it is like a teacher giving a lecture.

Test policy questions, his answer ideas.

Later, everyone lined up to hand in the papers, and went to the hall to rest and wait, and there was a sudden surprise.

There is also good wine tonight, which was won by betting. When Ye Cunshan told the story, he drank a couple of sips from time to time.

After the meal is over, the story is over.

It was only when Ye Cunshan got here that the burden on him was lifted.

Because of drinking too much, this sleep was deeper than after the meeting. I didn't open my eyes in the morning, and I slept until almost noon, and only woke up smelling the aroma of rice.

The palace examination is held on March [-]th, and the list is posted on the [-]th.

Shiliu slept late and went to the Imperial College in the afternoon to pick up the Jinshi uniform.

At [-] o'clock, Du Zhichun and Xie Yanqing came to visit the house, together with several Tongnian, they chatted about the final lottery test strategy and strategy text, and they chatted until the evening, when they dispersed.

Can't sleep at night.

Yuncheng and Cunyin were excited, while Ye Cunshan was nervous.

In the previous exams, he was not so competitive about the rankings, but only in the palace exam, he wanted to get into the first rank.

This is the goal that was set earlier. Yu Xidu wants to join the cabinet in the future.

On the way to the imperial examination, all his fame and fortune are here.

Thoughtful, he didn't say anything, fearing that he would only get disappointed.

"Since I don't sleep, I'll take the letter and open it."

The letter was a space-time letter, and it was only retrieved from Cheng's house a few days ago.

The lock on the wooden box was already rusty, and the letters inside were all yellowed when the key was opened.

The letters written two years ago contain good expectations for the future.

At that time, Ye Cunshan's "Yan Yu Ji" was being written, and Yuncheng Imagination would sell well in the north and south, but now it has already exceeded its goal, and it is the only best-seller in Yan Love Storybook.

It was written later that he would be admitted to Juren and the No. [-] scholar. Right now, he only saw one thing, and the other thing has to wait until tomorrow to see the result.

At that time, it was also said that Yuncheng had capable people coming out in large numbers, he could be the shopkeeper without him staring at him, and he could produce many excellent scripts.Looking at it now, although the Jingdu Huaben shop is in the preparation stage and Yuncheng will usher in a new busy period, the business in Fucheng has already fulfilled expectations.

The tailor shop where the silver was deposited has been sent out, and many details that were not considered back then were overcome one by one after arriving in Kyoto.

In time for the exam period, students from other places in Kyoto gathered, and they made a name for themselves by relying on triple-layer warm and cheap cotton coats.Expanded the planned "opening a shop" and handed in a perfect answer sheet.

The youngest in the family, Yuanyuan, was a little black girl who was detained and raised at home two years ago.

Yuncheng would be worried about her frequent tears and complexion, and when she beat Yuanyuan's character, Yuanyuan would be silly and happy when she had nothing to do, and the adults in the family were the ones who felt uncomfortable.

At that time, Yuncheng didn't dare to have extravagant demands on her skin color, and only hoped that she could follow Ye Cunshan's education direction and grow into a lively, cheerful, talking and laughing baby.

It is now.

The next vision will make people blush.

Yuncheng wanted to hide it, but Cunyin saw it.

After not playing for a few years, he started laughing strangely again.

Seeing his brother and sister-in-law staring at him, he ran faster than anyone else.

"I'm going to bed!"

The last prediction was that maybe when they arrived in Kyoto, they would also have a second treasure.

After reading the letter, I don't have to stay up all night. I really can't fall asleep, so I go to lie down on the kang and close my eyes to rest.

Ye Cunshan asked him if he wanted to try harder, but Yun Cheng pinched his waist several times, "Hurry up and sleep, don't doze off in the hall."

Ye Cunshan said: "Then try harder tomorrow."

After dawn, Ye Cunshan finished washing, changed into the Jinshi uniform, waited for Yuncheng to tie his hair, had breakfast and brushed his teeth again before getting into the carriage and heading to the palace.

Yuncheng watched him leave, called up Cunyin, followed him out, and went to the medical clinic.

On this day, thousands of people crowded the alleys to Chang'an Gate to wait for the list, and the road was empty.

When the two of them arrived at the medical center, they didn't need to queue up. After they sat down, the doctor took his pulse and smiled brightly: "Congratulations, congratulations, you are lucky!"

On the other side, civil and military officials are all there.

After the emperor ascended to the palace, the preface class raised the list of cases to praise, and all people worshiped four times.

The deacon held up the gold list and put it on the table, and all the praisers and judges knelt down to listen to the readout.

Chuanlu official sang: "No. 1 Ye Cunshan in the first class."
