After the concubine took the script of the son-in-law

After the two juniors were gone, Shen Yilu said to Yan Shu: "The officials really plan to add an official to me? But why did he tell Jizong instead of telling me directly?"

Yan Shu's tone was affirmative: "Ji'er pleases him."

Shen Yilu: "..."

He also felt that his "son" was very pleasing, but Boss Zhao was obviously not someone who would favor him just because he was a pleasing junior!

So he came to the conclusion that the officials are preparing to make a big move again, but it is not known whether this matter is related to state affairs or Zhao Laoer.

Knowing that he might be promoted, but Boss Zhao didn't point it out, and he couldn't take the initiative to thank him, Shen Yilu, in this tangled mood, felt that he could only live up to Boss Zhao's trust by working more conscientiously.

Here, Shen Ji and Li Yunyao who returned to their room also ended this topic, but Shen Ji felt that he was at a loss, so he planned to ask her father for more pocket money after her father was really promoted.

She came back to her senses and found that Li Yunyao was staring at her.Although she was used to the attention of everyone, she felt a little uncomfortable being looked at by Li Yunyao like this, and felt strange.

He asked cautiously, "Why are you looking at me like that?"

"I'm thinking, what do the officials like about you?"

Shen Ji just wanted to say that the officials didn't like her, but after understanding that "like" didn't mean love, she immediately choked up: "Who wouldn't like such a smart, smart, and beautiful young man like me!"

Li Yunyao suddenly realized, and reached out to touch her face: "It seems that this face is still easy to confuse people."

I don't know if it's because Shen Ji has grown gradually over the past year, or because of some factors that are the same as the origin of the system, Shen Ji's face seems to have a little more charm than before that can't be ignored.

When Shen Ji dressed up in women's clothing in the past, she was a pure and beautiful girl with a little baby fat. Although she was also very good-looking, she always gave people a feeling of "that's it".

But after Shen Ji changed into men's clothes and became Shen Jizong, her figure was still slender, but her body was taller and straighter, and the baby fat on her face was gone, replaced by a shaved lower jaw, and her image slowly changed from "immature to young". The cold girl" has become "a skinny and thin boy who is growing his body".

To put it bluntly, it used to be girlish, but now it is juvenile.

Of course, the public aesthetics of the people in the Song Dynasty still regards being strong and bearded as beautiful, but this feeling of being weak and young can easily arouse some people's desire for protection.But Shen Ji is not weak, she is even very lively, articulate and amusing, so she is more likely to make the elders have the illusion that "this is my kid, no matter what you do, you can't make people angry".

Of course, rather than analyzing these things in depth, Li Yunyao is more willing to use an adjective from later generations to describe Shen Ji's changes,—Heaven's Beloved.

Because she is the darling of the heavens, even if she does not have the characteristics of a boy's puberty, no one will doubt her identity——all that Yan Shu did to conceal her identity also played a role, but this is not enough to deceive others perception;

Because she is the darling of the heavens, many people have their own filters for her behavior; because she is the darling of the heavens, so her family system will be so double-standard...

Cough, aside from her personal grievances with the system, no matter how you look at it, Shen Ji is the darling of heaven.

If Yan Shu knew what she was thinking, she would definitely approve it: "That's right, with me, the author's own mother doting on her, can she not be the darling of heaven?"

It's a pity that Li Yunyao asked Yan Shu's origin straight to the point, and Yan Shu only said that he came from time travel, but didn't tell her the truth about this world created by himself.

Shen Ji, who didn't know what Li Yunyao was thinking, was so frightened by her touching his face that goosebumps appeared on his arms, and then he took a small half step back: "I know my face is very charming, but what are you thinking about? What?"

Could it be that he was thinking about something inappropriate for children?A blush appeared on Shen Ji's face.

Li Yunyao came back to his senses, and realized that his behavior just now seemed a little frivolous, and Shen Ji's face was slightly red, as if he had done something to seduce her, she also paused speechlessly.

She pretended to be "as long as I'm not embarrassed, it's someone else who is embarrassed", and said, "I just found out that you've lost weight, and I'm wondering if I need to adjust my study schedule."

"You also know that I study hard?!" Shen Ji's attention shifted following her words, with an indignant look of finally waiting for the conscience of the black-hearted boss to find out.

Li Yunyao smiled slightly, and coaxed her like a child: "Well, how about making you some fish soup later?"

Shen Ji bargained: "Fish soup? Then I'll add sugar."

"Okay, I'll boil something sweet for you."

……

After the Spring Festival, it is time for the "provincial test" that scholars in the world are most looking forward to.As an examination presided over by the Ministry of Rites of Shangshu Province to determine whether a candidate can become an official, whether it is these candidates who have passed the "examination" of the state capitals, or the court, they are all waiting for it.

From February [-]th, the courtyard was locked, that is, when the questions were set, the invigilators cut off communication with outsiders and focused on writing the questions.Ten days later, all Jinshi, Kejie and Juren were invited to try on bail one after another, that is, to check whether their identities met the conditions.Those who meet the conditions and have a guarantor can enter the Gongyuan Examination.

The provincial examination generally takes three days, with one examination per day: Poems and Fu on the first day, two essays on the next day, scriptures on the last day, and Moyi on the last day.Every day, the Shenshi Gongyuan will open the door, Xie Juren will hand in the papers and go home, and there will be a second session the next day. ①

Three days after the Jinshi examination is over, there will be examinations for various subjects, and there are many examinations for various subjects, as many as [-], and as few as a dozen, but because it is relatively simple, there are often two examinations a day.

Moreover, the inspection of various subjects is stricter than that of Jinshi subjects. It is generally useless to carry a cheat sheet for Jinshi subjects, and a body search is degrading, so the imperial court prefers not to search them; Therefore, a body search is necessary to prevent candidates from cheating.

After witnessing this, Shen Ji luckily said to Li Yunyao: "It's a good thing that you asked me to take the Jinshi examination at the beginning, but if you put aside other subjects, then my identity must be exposed."

Li Yunyao said: "That can't be slack, the rules of the tribute exam are different every year, what if when it comes time for you to take the exam, the Jinshi department also needs to be searched?"

"Li Yunyao, don't be crowed. Do you want me to take the Jinshi exam, or do you want me to die?"

"Of course I hope you are well."

Li Yunyao hid her smile and thought, if the conditions were really so harsh, she would definitely not let Shen Ji take the exam, even if she yearned for the dream world, she would not let Shen Ji or even the Shen family pay the price no?

Shen Ji looked at Li Yunyao with crooked eyebrows and bright eyes showing cunning, compared to the lifeless look that was only immersed in the sea of ​​books before, now he looks more spiritual.The anger in my heart was instantly quenched by invisible water, and a strange feeling grew in my heart.

Seeing that the Gongyuan was about to close, Li Yunyao turned back to the carriage: "There is nothing to see, we still have to go to Fayun Temple, let's go!"

Shen Ji asked: "What are you going to Fayun Temple for?"

Li Yunyao glanced at the red silk rope around her neck, and said, "Pray for blessings to my father-in-law and mother-in-law."

Seeing that she had already boarded the carriage, Shen Ji stopped talking.

The two came to the Fayun Temple next to the Yunqi Bridge. The place was bustling with incense, and many candidates who had just finished the Jinshi examination came to offer incense, so that the Fayun Temple was crowded.

Shen Ji pulled Li Yunyao aside, wondering: "Why are these candidates coming to offer incense now? Shouldn't they come before the exam?"

Li Yunyao said: "I just want peace of mind."

"Shouldn't you be worshiping Er Xianggong? After all, Er Xianggong is in charge of literature."②

"I don't know what to do, so naturally I worship whatever god I see."

"I'm sure I won't be here then."

"Really not coming?" Li Yunyao didn't quite believe it.

"I definitely won't come! Pray to God, it's better to learn more and accumulate more on your own." Actually, Shen Ji spoke very unconvincingly, but he let out all the cruel words. If he didn't speak more grandiosely, wouldn't it be a shame?

Li Yunyao smiled, and didn't say whether he believed it or not.

Her hand was held by Shen Ji, and she smoothly squeezed into the hall where there were fewer people.Even so, the air here is also uncomfortably cloudy.

Li Yunyao originally wanted to ask Shen Ji to add incense money, but thought that Shen Ji might feel that he gave too much money and would not pay the money, so he went there himself.

Fortunately, Shen Ji didn't know that she was so stingy with Li Yunyao's image, otherwise she would have to play her temper again.

After Li Yunyao finished offering incense, he dragged Shen Ji to the monks to ask for some amulets, Shen Ji said: "Father doesn't wear these things, what are you asking for so much?"

"Whether to wear it or not is their business. It is our wish that we juniors beg for them."

Li Yunyao planned to take out the amulet on Shen Ji's neck and replace it.But because the amulet was hidden under her clothes, she had to pick out the red silk cord with her fingers.The cold fingertips rubbed Shen Ji's neck, and immediately, goose bumps appeared on Shen Ji's neck and arms, and his body became stiff, not daring to move.

"You—" Shen Ji stared at Li Yunyao, and found that the latter's expression was very calm, as if this was a very common thing.

In comparison, my own reaction seems to be relatively large.

Shen Ji suppressed the awkwardness in his heart, and let Li Yunyao's fingers fiddle around his neck until he replaced the original amulet.

Shen Ji shifted his gaze, and said: "You asked for four, I thought father, two mothers and you each had one, and here I have."

"The one you wore was last year, it's time to change it." Li Yunyao found an excuse.I thought, if she is allowed to wear a fake amulet again, I don’t know what kind of oolong will happen, so I should hurry up and replace it.

"What about yours?" Shen Ji asked.After Li Yunyao helped her put on a new amulet, she went back to the abbot of Fayun Temple to ask for a new one for Li Yunyao, "In this way, our family will have everything."

When Li Yunyao heard her say "our family", waves flashed in his eyes, and he looked at Shen Ji fixedly, not knowing what it was like in his heart.

"Ah, the father-in-law, mother-in-law, and Jianzhong also want it?" Shen Ji thought of the big family of the Li family.

Seeing that she was about to turn back again, Li Yunyao hurriedly held her back: "I'll ask for my parents some other day. The weather is fine today, and there is still some time. Let's go for a walk!"

Shen Ji grew up so big, and the number of times she went out for spring outings alone with Li Yunyao is very small. Although it was a bit awkward, she didn't resist, so she agreed.

Shen Xiaoji: I was eaten tofu? !
