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

After dinner, Shen Ji slipped away with the excuse of taking a bath. Li Yunyao knew that she was afraid that he would punish her, so he didn't care, but lowered his head and changed the paper.

What surprised Li Yunyao was that Shen Ji's problems in Fu, after the comments on the last "final exam", almost all of them were corrected, and she was able to grow so much in such a short period of time, it can be seen that she has also been under the influence recently. A lot of hard work.

Of course, this is not to say that Shen Ji's talent is outstanding. Without those problems, it can only be said that her level has just reached the entry level of the imperial examination, and there is still a long way to go before she can reach the imperial examination and become a leader.

As for Shen Ji's poems, the deliberate pursuit of rhythm is suspected of being patchwork, and it is an empty work of moaning without illness.

Seeing that Shen Ji hadn't come back after the second watch, Li Yunyao snorted and said, "She has self-knowledge, so she hides from people!"

The maid asked her: "Lady Yun, do you need a maid to invite Mr. Xiao Lang back?"

"Don't worry about her, I'm going to rest, prepare to turn off the lights!" Li Yunyao said.

Hearing this, the maidservant took off the jewelry on her head and smoothed the black hair that was coiled into a bun.

At this time, Shen Ji was ready to receive criticism and came back. Seeing the maid's actions, she had an idea, walked over to take the comb quietly, sent the maid again, and combed Li Yunyao's hair by herself.

How could Li Yunyao not know about the change of a person behind him?Not to mention the presence of a mirror, even the change of light and shadow is very obvious.But she pretended not to know, and even thought of teasing Shen Ji, saying: "I'm a little tired, rub the acupuncture points for me."

Shen Ji: "..."

When did Li Yunyao ask the maid to do such a thing?

But thinking of Li Yunyao's physical discomfort, she didn't think that the other party did it on purpose.First rubbed his temples, then massaged his scalp and neck, with moderate pressure, so comfortable that Li Yunyao refused to stop.

After a while, Shen Ji's hands were sore from pressing, so he couldn't help but open his mouth to reveal his existence: "Li Yunyao, are you feeling better? Didn't you say that you want to rest early? If you press like this again, you will have to go to bed again." It's three o'clock."

The corners of Li Yunyao's lips curled up slightly: "The person holding the pen, how can he be tired so quickly? The most important thing in writing an article is to finish it in one go. If you stop your hand because your arm is sore, your thoughts will be stagnant..."

"You know it's me?!" Shen Ji paused for a while, but he didn't stop what he was doing.

Li Yunyao said: "There is no fragrance on the body of the maid."

Shen Ji sniffed himself, and there was a fragrance that was neither strong nor weak.She remembered that the bath beans she used had some spices added, and after just taking a bath, the fragrance on her body was naturally stronger than during the day.But the maid could not afford such expensive bath beans, her body smelled like acacia and pig pancreas, so she could be easily distinguished from the maid.

"Can't that be the fragrance from your body?" Shen Ji retorted, in order to find evidence, she leaned over and sniffed Li Yunyao's body, and smelled an elegant fragrance of cloves.

The moment she approached and made such an abrupt and ambiguous move, Li Yunyao's heart skipped a beat, his hands grabbed his shirt nervously, and half of his body felt warm.

"Shen Ji, you—" Li Yunyao stood up, almost knocking Shen Ji over.

"What are you doing? You scared me!" Shen Ji patted her chest with lingering fear, she was almost hit on the head by Li Yunyao who stood up just now, but fortunately she dodged fast enough to protect her clever mind Smart mind.

"You're obscene!" Li Yunyao scolded softly.

Shen Ji looked puzzled: "Why am I being obscene? Maybe you can smell my body, but don't let me smell yours?"

Li Yunyao: "..."

She gave Shen Ji a stern look, turned around and went back to the bed to lie down and sleep.However, Shen Ji seemed to have discovered some new land, and leaned over cheekily: "Hey, Li Yunyao, did you blush just now? I seem to see you blush."

"Get lost." Li Yunyao uttered a word coldly, then turned over and covered himself with the quilt.

The light in the bed tent was dim, and Shen Ji couldn't see Li Yunyao's expression clearly, so he had to remove his round neck robe and prepare to go to bed.

"What are you doing lying up?" Li Yunyao asked with his back to her.

"sleep!"

"The doctor told me to go to bed early, but I didn't tell you to go to bed early."

Shen Ji: "..."

She is already in bed, let her get out of bed to read?How can this be!

She decided to pretend to be asleep.

Li Yunyao didn't feel the movement of her getting out of bed, so he turned over to look at her, and saw that she really started to pretend to be asleep.

"This man really didn't take care of himself when he was a rascal." Li Yunyao was annoyed and funny, but he didn't insist on driving him away.

The maid came into the room and extinguished the candles, and closed the door for them. In an instant, the only source of light in the room was the bright moonlight shining in through the mullioned windows.

Suddenly, Shen Ji asked: "Why are you blushing?"

After finally calming down, Li Yunyao: "..."

She touched Shen Ji's waist under the quilt, and twisted it.

"Hiss, it hurts!" Shen Ji bared his teeth.

"Shut up and go to sleep, if you don't want to sleep, go back to Book Pavilion!" Li Yunyao warned.

While rubbing the pinched place, Shen Ji responded with "oh", and fell silent again.

……

Both Li Yunyao and Shen Ji fell asleep in a daze of random thoughts.On the second day, Li Yunyao had deliberately ignored what happened to her "little deer bumping into each other" last night, but she didn't expect that Shen Ji's mentality had been adjusted better than hers, as if the ambiguity last night was her own self-indulgence.

"My mother-in-law said that she is the spirit of Ah Q, but in my opinion, she is the fish's seven-second memory!" Li Yunyao muttered unwillingly.

Why is she so at a loss like a young girl with a spring heart, but the other party stays out of it as if nothing happened?

She didn't give Shen Ji a good look. The latter felt that she was baffled, but he still asked her with concern: "Did you have your menstruation, so you are not in a good mood?"

Li Yunyao's face darkened: "I didn't come."

"Where is that discomfort, so you feel irritable?"

"Your answer sheet makes me irritable." Li Yunyao simply took out Shen Ji's test sheet. He had originally planned to let her go temporarily last night, but she insisted on coming to scold her, so it's no one else's fault.

Shen Ji: "..."

She forcibly changed the subject: "The weather is nice today, why don't we visit the teacher? Yesterday's palace exam must be very exciting, let's go to the teacher to ask some gossip?"

"He may not be on duty."

"Then let's go to Dou's house and talk to Dou!"

Li Yunyao knew that she was deliberately diverting attention, but she also wanted to go to Dou's house to find a book, so she acquiesced to Shen Ji's arrangement.

Two days later, the results of the much-anticipated imperial examination came out:

After the examination papers were corrected by the examiner and Zhao Boss personally reviewed the papers, finally Zhao Boss selected 26 Jinshi candidates. Song Zhun, the leader of the preliminary examination, was still hand-picked by Zhao Boss this time as No. 1 in the imperial examination. It can be seen that when Li Fang admitted him, He has no selfish intentions, and his literary talent is indeed worthy of No.1 in this year's exams.

In addition to Song Zhun, Xu Shilian, who failed the provincial examination, also passed the Jinshi, and Li Fang's fellow villager Wu Jichuan was deposed.Xu Shilian proved his talent, which made him let out a bad breath.

And there is actually a small episode in this palace test.Originally Boss Zhao only selected 25 people, and Liu Kai's name was not on the list, but maybe he played a role in the "book" to Lu Duoxun, and Lu Duoxun specially recommended him to Boss Zhao.

Lu Duoxun is currently gaining the trust and reliance of Boss Zhao. Hearing this, he summoned Liu Kai to come to him and ask him questions. Seeing that he answered well, he also awarded him the rank, so he became the 26th on the palace examination list. one of the people.

The result of this tribute examination was announced by Boss Zhao himself, so those candidates who failed the exam had to accept their fate no matter how unwilling they were.

This kind of result naturally makes some people happy and some people worry. Because Wu Jichuan and others were originally on the list, but were dismissed in the re-examination, it seems that Li Fang has cheated for personal gain in the provincial examination. Chang Shaoqing.

The status of the "nine temples and five supervisors" today is not comparable to that of the Tang Dynasty, and the Shaoqing of the Taichang Temple is just a rank official with no actual position. The position of Boss Zhao's confidential secretary was changed.

This was a blow to Li Fang and the other courtiers who were in charge of the tribute examination, warning them not to favoritism in the selection of scholars in the imperial examination, and Boss Zhao repeatedly emphasized the prohibition of "public recommendation" in order to weaken the relationship between examiners and Jinshi. Let these Jinshi become disciples of the emperor.

Boss Zhao tasted the sweetness of this palace examination, so he ordered that the palace examination be fixed, and it will become a routine examination after the solution and provincial examinations.

At the same time, Boss Zhao also issued an edict to the states based on the cheating in the examination room. In the future, the examiners of the examinations and provincial examinations must choose talented examiners.

It didn't take long for the official positions of the new scholars to come down.First of all, Song Zhun, who was the first in the palace examination, was awarded the secretary Provincial School Secretary Lang and Zhishiguan.

"Secretary Provincial School Secretary Lang" is a senior official of the ninth rank, and the Secretary General is in charge of writing the sacrificial Zhu Wen, but Song Zhun also has the post of "Zhishiguan" on his head, that is to say, his daily life My job is to go to the "Historical Museum", one of the three museums, to help write the calendar and the blessings of the sacrifices.

Although this job is a bit leisurely, it can often show its face in front of Boss Zhao, so it is also a favorite in the eyes of many Jinshi.

The rest of the Jinshi were not so lucky. Their initial positions were basically the state officials and various officials.

The so-called "supreme position" refers to the subordinate officials under the account of Jiedushi, observation envoy, etc. For example, the judges and push officials of Jiedushi are all behind-the-scenes officials.

And the cao's joining the army under the magistrates and county magistrates, such as the "sikou joining the army" awarded by Liu Kai this time, belonged to the cao officials, who were in charge of the criminal and prison affairs of the state capital.

Under normal circumstances, official ranks are transferred every three years. That is to say, if there is no outstanding performance, no recommendation from contacts, or even no faults, if you are just dawdling in the officialdom, you can be promoted to a higher rank after three years in office. .

Taking Song Zhun as an example, the Secretary of the provincial school is at the 35th level. If he wants to go to the emperor, he must at least be an admonishing doctor, and this is at the 22nd level.In other words, it takes 39 years for a person with seniority to get closer to the emperor.

If you want to go further, you have to endure it.

However, in the officialdom where the average person becomes an official at the age of 70 or [-], I am afraid that most people will retire before that time.

Whether these behind-the-scenes officials who are far away from Bianliang can be promoted in an unconventional way depends on their future methods and good luck.

These Jinshi are still immersed in the joy of being a Jinshi and formally entering an official career, and they are naturally full of ambitions for the future.It happened that Boss Zhao gave them 20 yuan to hold a banquet, so all Jinshi gathered in Kaibao Temple and held a very grand and jubilant "Wenxi Banquet".

It was so lively that even people outside Kaibao Temple could hear it.

In the opposite Changqing Building, Xue Ji said to Shen Ji: "Look, after studying for more than ten years, only a small secretary, provincial school secretary, is far inferior to us, so why should you and I bother?" How about thinking about gaining fame?”

He and Shen Ji were awarded the eighth-rank Xitou enshrined officials before they were crowned, and the No.1 in the palace examination was just a ninth-rank school secretary!

Shen Ji thought to himself, if Xue Ji's words were heard by those Jinshi, it would surely arouse public outrage.

She said: "Why did you come up with the topic 'Hanging the Nobility to Treat Scholars' when you are an official? It is to hope that one day all the talented people standing in the hall will be full of knowledge and knowledge! And the children of aristocratic families like us are rich and honored." But without the blessing, who can guarantee that we can still stand tall?"

Xue Ji pouted, wondering if he had listened.

Shen Ji said again: "If you called me here to show your sense of superiority and find a sense of approval, then you have found the wrong person, and I have to go back to study!"

"Hey, wait a minute, when did you become so boring?" Xue Ji grabbed her, glared at her, and then said in a low voice, "I came here this time because I have something to discuss with you!"

"What's the matter?" Shen Ji pricked up his ears.

"I heard that the officials are going to let Lu Hanlin go to Jiangnan. I thought, Jiangnan is so beautiful, why don't we go and have a look together?"

"Jiangnan?!"

Hearing this news, Shen Ji became excited.

There used to be a country named "Tang" in Jiangnan. The founding emperor Li Sheng claimed to be a descendant of the Tang royal family. After his governance and development, the Jiangnan area has become the largest and most powerful force outside the Central Plains Dynasty.

However, in 958, Li Jing, the son of Li Sheng, chose to submit to Guo Rong.Four years after the treasure was opened, that is, the year before last, Li Yu, the lord of the Tang Dynasty, even removed the title of "Tang" and called himself "the lord of Jiangnan"...

Xue Ji said that Boss Zhao was going to send Lu Duoxun to Jiangnan, and that must be to order him to go to Jiangnan. As for the purpose, Shen Ji didn't care, she was just full of curiosity about this place in Jiangnan.

She rubbed her hands excitedly: "Jiangnan Xing Gongju, a man of many literatures, I have heard of Xu Xuan and Xu Kai of the 'Jiangdong Erxu', who are collectively called 'Han Xu' Han Xizai with Xu Xuan, and the leader of Jiangnan! If you can Don’t you make a lot of money by copying their literary works?”

Xue Ji: "..."

Speaking of Jiangnan, of course the focus is on the beauties in Jiangnan. Why does Shen Jizong focus on those big men? !

It's really wonderful!
