In the early morning, Shen Yilu left to go to Cidutang to deal with government affairs, but Wang Jien called to stop him halfway, saying that Boss Zhao was looking for him.

He returned to Zichen Hall with Wang Jien, Boss Zhao was reading the memorial, saw him coming, and said with a smile: "Shen Qing is here!"

"I don't know what other orders the officials have?" Shen Yilu asked suspiciously.

If it was a business matter, he should have brought it up when he went to court just now, and he would not seek him in private, so he guessed that Boss Zhao had a private matter to discuss with him.

Zhao Laodao: "Have you released the list today? I remember that your son also went for the test, so you are not curious whether he will be on the list?"

Shen Yilu didn't expect it to be for this matter. Of course he knew that the list would be released today, and he was very concerned about it. He was about to go back to Cidutang and ordered someone to inquire. Unexpectedly, Boss Zhao summoned him one step ahead of time.

But he definitely couldn't show his heart, so he could only say: "I remember, but whether he can be on the list will not change according to my mind, so there is no need to be distracted by this matter."

Boss Zhao smiled, and didn't care whether he was really calm or pretending not to care, anyway, it didn't affect how much he valued him.

In fact, Boss Zhao had already made a decision in his heart. Even if Shen Ji couldn't get it out this time, next time, or even in the future, he would still give "him" an official position, and he wouldn't treat the father and son badly.

"Wang Ji'en, ask someone to go to Kaifeng Mansion and copy a list back." Zhao Lao said.

Naturally, Wang Jien didn't dare to delay, so he hurried out to give orders.The palace people were still very efficient in handling things for Boss Zhao, and it didn't take long for a freshly excerpted list of Jinshi to be sent to Boss Zhao.

Boss Zhao glanced at the list of more than 200 names, his expression did not change, and Shen Yilu, who was originally indifferent, couldn't help becoming nervous, and stretched his neck to read.

Boss Zhao glanced at him and said, "Shen Qing is also curious, right? Come, come and have a look together."

Shen Yilu awkwardly and expectantly leaned next to Boss Zhao, and looked from the top of the list——although he didn't say anything, he had inexplicable expectations for Shen Ji, hoping to see her name in front of him.

Seeing from the top of the list that Shen Ji's name was not in the top [-], Shen Yilu was a little disappointed. Suddenly, he caught a glimpse of Boss Zhao's mouth curling up, and followed his gaze to find "Shen Jizong" at the eighth place.

A hanging heart finally fell, and Shen Yilu quietly let out a sigh of relief.

Boss Zhao laughed and said, "It really made him pass the exam."

The laughter is natural and full of expectation.

Shen Yilu saw him look like "If Shen Ji didn't pass the exam, it must be the examiner's fault", so he immediately restrained his smile, don't be too happy.

He pretended to be calm and said: "It's just a fluke."

Boss Zhao laughed: "I've noticed his hard work, there's no way he didn't pass the exam."

This is a bit of an afterthought, but who dares to question his words?Even if Shen Ji didn't pass the exam, as long as he speaks out, it's no problem for Shen Ji to set a high starting point for becoming an official.

Wang Jien asked Boss Zhao if he wanted to read Shen Ji's paper, and Boss Zhao said, "Don't worry, wait until next year's palace exam to read."

……

Shen Ji still didn't know that Boss Zhao had so much confidence in her. Before she let anyone see the list, Xue Ji came to her early in the morning and told her the good news: "Shen Jizong, you have to solve it!"

Shen Ji was also very happy: "Don't tease me."

"How could I tease you with such a thing? Don't you want to know your ranking?"

Compared with her own ranking, Shen Ji was more concerned about the situation of Dou who took the exam with her: "What about Brother Dou?"

"I have to solve it, but the ranking is a bit low, and it is out of the hundred. You are in the eighth!"

Shen Ji's joyful mood cooled down slightly, she said: "58, I'm afraid there is no chance."

"Why do you say such frustrating words? This time Kaifeng Fajie Examination Jinshi Division only got 210 eight people. You are in the eighth. This is an upper-middle level, and you still have a chance to compete."

"Kaifeng government released 210 eight people, and other prefectures also released dozens to hundreds of people. This adds up to thousands of people. What's the use of me getting the eighth place in Kaifeng? Besides, there were only those two in previous years. 30 people can get Jinshi and rank, last time it was a little more, and there were only 50 people."

After what she said, Xue Ji also felt that it was not a big deal for Qiu Wei to get rid of it. After all, the real battlefield was the provincial and imperial examinations.Thinking of this, he also has a sense of urgency.

"Hey, stop talking, I have to read a book."

Xue Ji said: "Didn't you say you have no chance? Then what are you wasting this time for? Let's go, I'll accompany you to have a drink!"

Shen Ji didn't want to go out to drink, and said: "It is precisely because the chance of success is so slim that I want to seize it! I don't have much time left, so I won't accompany you to drink, you go find someone else Let's play!"

Xue Ji: "..."

He hummed: "I'll talk to Dou!"

He ran away in a hurry, but Dou said that he would also study behind closed doors, and that he was ashamed of the teachings of his family and teachers, and the ranking fell out of the top [-]!

Xue Ji: "..."

One and two both study, but he seems to be idle by himself.He didn't want to go and play with those cronies. Under the influence of these two, he could only go home and study.

-

Shen Ji was on the list, and she should share the good news with her teacher, so the next day, Li Mu went to Li Mu's house with Li Yunyao after she took a shower.

Li Mu was receiving guests, and his son Li Weijian entertained them first.

"Congratulations to Junior Brother Shen Qiu Wei for being relieved."

Li Weijian thought that she had escaped because of Shen Ji's temper in the past, and thought that she would not have great achievements in literature. Now that Shen Ji has squeezed into the top 58 of the exam from thousands of scholars, it is enough to prove that he was prejudiced at the beginning. .

He was ashamed in his heart, he was much older than Shen Ji, and he had a father who was a Hanlin scholar, but he was still not as good as Shen Ji.

Shen Ji didn't know that Li Weijian had prejudiced against her, so she happily replied: "Thank you, Senior Brother!"

Li Weijian thought for a while and asked, "I wonder if Junior Brother Shen can bring the test papers?"

"Bring it."

After each exam, Shen Ji would go home and silently write her papers again for review, so her papers had been read by many people long before Jia Yan and other examiners corrected the papers.This time she came to Li Mu to ask questions, so she naturally had to bring her own papers, just in case.

Li Weijian read poems first, then Fu, and finally essays and current affairs policies.He found that Shen Ji's Fu style is obvious, not sticking to the popular "Lyric Fu" style in the imperial examination, but also adopting and biasing the "Wen Fu" that is more natural and casual and more appreciative of literature.

There is nothing wrong with the whole article. The only thing that makes Li Weijian twitch is that Shen Ji’s Fu is not reserved. She wrote to advise the king to be virtuous, but she is not blindly admonishing, and she does not agree with the "king As long as there is virtue, the concept of "...

Li Weijian pressed this Fu and turned to look at Shi Wu Ce.

He originally thought that Shen Ji was born in wealth and grew up in a greenhouse, so he should have little experience in current affairs and only talk on paper.Unexpectedly, the current affairs policies she wrote are the most refreshing, not because the content she writes is fresh, but because her thoughts and thoughts are full of truth. If it is not for her unique insights into the pros and cons of government affairs, she is Can't write an article like this.

When Li Weijian was engrossed in watching it, she heard someone ask, "What do you think?"

He thought it was Shen Ji who was begging for praise, so he said truthfully: "This strategy is about harnessing the river, so the method of harnessing the river is the countermeasure. Many people's strategy for river harnessing is to build higher and thicker embankments. It was the wars in the past few decades that destroyed many dams, and the years of disrepair caused the Yellow River to burst and flood, causing natural disasters. Therefore, it is still the mainstream opinion to repair the river embankments in a more cost-effective way... But How to repair it, many people only talk on paper, but this strategy quotes Wang Jingzhihe's experience and combines it with the current situation of the Yellow River..."

Suddenly, he realized that that voice was not Shen Ji's at all!

He raised his head abruptly, only to find that his father was standing beside him, bending over to read the paper together.

"father?!"

"En." Li Mu responded.

Shen Ji laughed at the side: "Thank you teacher and senior brother for your appreciation, I also think my writing is very good!"

Li Weijian: "..."

Li Mu had already known her thick skin and didn't care about it. He didn't ask her how she felt about her fate until he finished reading the test paper.
