Lian Erye's Road to Imperial Examination

After the examination, Jia Lian returned to Zishan Academy and continued to attend classes with the head of the mountain.Don't think that if he passed the Huiyuan examination, it means that he will be the number one scholar in the palace examination.Although the results of the guild examination are almost the same as the results of the palace examination, the number one scholar, second place, and Tanhua in the palace examination are not necessarily the top three in the huiyuan.

If Jia Lian wants to win the first prize, he must work harder.

Although the palace examination is the highest level of examination, the content of the examination is very "single" because there is only one subject in the palace examination, that is, policy questions.

Although the palace examination only examines questions, it is not easy. After all, the questions of the palace examination are chosen by the emperor himself.

During this period of time, Shan Chang simulated the situation of the palace examination to guide Jia Lian. The examination questions were naturally those of the palace examination in previous years.

"Now you have passed five yuan in the exam, and if you work harder, you may be able to pass the first prize and six yuan in the exam." Shanzhang encouraged, "During this period of time, you must not relax or slack, and you must work harder than usual. Come on with your mentality. Just because you have passed the Huiyuan examination, does not mean that you will be the number one scholar in the palace examination." Shan Chang was afraid that Jia Lian would become proud and complacent after he won the Huiyuan examination, thinking that he could be the number one scholar in the palace examination.

"Don't worry, sir, the students will definitely work harder." Jia Lian didn't feel that he would be the champion just because he won the first prize in the exam.Now there is only one step away from the champion, and he doesn't want to stumble at the last step and let all the previous efforts and achievements be wiped out.

The head of the mountain looked at Jia Lian, and he was relieved when he saw firmness and fighting spirit in his eyes.

"Okay, let's change the topic this time."

"Change the subject?" A look of doubt flashed in Jia Lian's eyes. During this period of time, the questions in the exam were all the questions in the previous palace exam, which gave Jia Lian a little understanding of the questions in the palace exam.

"You have almost finished the previous palace exam questions." Shan Chang stroked his beard and said with a smile, "This question is made up by the old man based on the previous palace exam questions."

Jia Lian understood now, what what Mr. meant was that he guessed the questions based on the previous palace examination questions, which was the same as the college entrance examination in his previous life. Many teachers guessed the questions of the college entrance examination, and some teachers even guessed the questions correctly.He remembered that when they took the high school entrance examination in his previous life, their Chinese teacher guessed the topic of the college entrance examination composition very well.I hope Mr. Guess can also guess correctly.

"Sir, please tell me the exam questions."

"Water can carry a boat and also overturn it." The subject of Shanzhang's words is very simple

Hearing this question, Jia Lian's eyes widened in astonishment, and he smacked his tongue inwardly, "Damn it, sir, if he doesn't make a move, he'll use it as soon as he makes a move."

Water can carry a boat and also overturn it. This saying comes from Emperor Taizong of Tang Dynasty.

The original words of Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty are: a king is a boat; a man is water; water can carry a boat and capsize it.

The meaning of this sentence is very simple: the monarch is like a boat, and the people are like water. Water can make the boat sail safely, but it can also sink the boat.

Jia Lian pondered in his heart, what is the teacher asking a question for?Although this sentence is simple, it covers a very wide range, and there are two angles.One is the perspective of the king, and the other is the perspective of the common people.From what angle is he going to answer the question?

After Shan Chang finished the exam questions, the old god started to drink tea.

Jia Lian frowned slightly, with a pensive expression on his face, and did not write for a long time.

Seeing Jia Lian's perplexed face, Shan Chang didn't write for a long time, and didn't urge him, and continued to taste leisurely.

Jia Lian struggled for a while, and finally picked up his pen and began to answer the questions.

Seeing Jia Lian's frowning look before answering the question, Shan Chang became calm and calm after answering the question, with a touch of satisfaction on his face.

An hour later, Jia Lian finished writing the exam questions and handed them over to the head of the mountain for review.

The head of the mountain took a look, first his face was calm, then his expression soon became surprised, then shocked, and finally admired.

Jia Lian's heart was pounding, and he didn't know whether he answered well or not.

After a while, the head of the mountain finished his review and began to analyze and guide Jia Lian's answers one by one.

"Water can carry a boat and capsize it. The meaning of this sentence is very simple, but the truth behind it is very big. It is very good that you used two angles to explain this sentence. I was worried that you would only choose one angle. Come answer the question."

"Sir, the original sentence of this sentence refers to Junheren, so naturally we have to use two angles to answer the question."

Shan Chang nodded with satisfaction: "Many candidates will only choose one angle, and most of them will choose the angle of [person] to answer the question, to express the importance of [person] to the king, but this is too one-sided. Can you think of two ways to answer the question?" It’s nice to look at it from a different angle.”

Jia Lian smiled modestly: "Sir, you are too proud."

"Quoting the history to answer the question is a good way to solve the problem. You can directly answer the question with Tang Taizong." Shan Chang paused, then said with a smile, "It's a good idea."

The pause of Shan Chang just now frightened Jia Lian. For a moment, his heart rose in his throat, thinking that he was quoting Tang Taizong's matter inappropriately.Now I heard that the head of the mountain said it was good, and the heart can be safely put back in its original place.

The head of the mountain then explained and analyzed Jia Lian's answers one by one.

Jia Lian's answers are generally good, but some details are not good.The head of the mountain pointed out his shortcomings one by one, which benefited him a lot.

The palace examination was held on April 21, and the head of the mountain let Jia Lian go home five days in advance.Before letting Jia Lian go home, he told him again.

"You passed the five-yuan exam before, and there will be many people looking for you before the palace exam. You'd better not agree to them." The head of the mountain is looking forward to Jia Lian's next palace exam, and he doesn't want him to be affected before the palace exam, so That's why I said this on purpose.

"Before the palace test, you'd better close the door to thank the guests and relax at home."

Jia Lian was not stupid, so he immediately understood the meaning of Shanzhang's words: "Don't worry, sir, I won't go anywhere before the palace test."

"That's good." Shan Chang raised his hand and patted Jia Lian's shoulder, smiling gently, "I'm waiting for the good news of your title on the gold list."

Jia Lian said solemnly: "Students must work hard!"

Before leaving, Mrs. Shanchang gave Jia Lian an amulet.This amulet was obtained by Mrs. Shanzhang at Fuling Temple two days ago. It can not only keep you safe, but also make your wishes come true.

Although he only spent half a year with Shanchang and Shanchang's wife, Jia Lian could feel their care and love for him. Rather than saying that he was a student, it would be better to say that they treated him like a grandson.

It is the luck of Jia Lian's life to meet such noble people as the head of the mountain and his wife.

Before Jia Lian left Zishan Academy, the students and gentlemen of the academy came to see him off, and wished him the title of gold list.

At first he didn't want to cry, but when he saw everyone coming out to see him off and cheer him on, Jia Lian was overwhelmed with emotion, his nose was sour and his eyes were red.

Coming to Zishan Academy to study was the most correct decision he made in his life.Although at the beginning, the students of the academy were dissatisfied with him in various ways, but later he proved himself with his strength, and the students changed their attitude towards him and were completely convinced by him.

"Brother Lian, you and I have known each other for several years, and I have always regarded you as a close relative, friend, or even a brother. I sincerely hope that you can pass the imperial examination this time and achieve six yuan." Ming Wanju said this with a very sincere expression .

Jia Lian clasped his fists towards Ming Wan, with a serious and solemn expression: "My brother must work hard to not let brother Wan Ju down." Ming Wanju sincerely wished him, and his modest words seemed too false.

Ming Wanju raised his hand and patted Jia Lian on the shoulder, and said with a smile, "I have to work hard to get the second place in the exam and continue to be your all-round second child."

Jia Lian was amused by Ming Wanju's words: "Brother Wanju, you can definitely do it."

"Then it's settled. You work hard to get the first prize, and I will work hard to get the second place."

"it is good!"

In the previous examination, Jia Lian passed No.1, but Ming Wanju did not pass No.2 as before, but No.3.

You ask, who is the No.2 who will try?Naturally, it was Su Mingyuan who was on par with Jia Lian.

"In the previous test, that Su Mingyuan was on par with you in the test. He is your biggest opponent in this palace test. You can't let him surpass you."

"I'll work hard!" The results of the previous examinations have not yet been announced. Jia Lian regards Su Mingyuan as a strong opponent, and has no confidence in himself passing the examination, but this time the palace examination is different.After the special guidance of the head of the mountain, he is not to say very sure about this palace test, but he is still [-]% sure.

Ming Wanju talked to Jia Lian again, and then the two separated.

When Jia Lian returned to Rongguo Mansion, he was warmly welcomed by the whole mansion, even people from Ningguo Mansion next door came over.

"Brother Lian, you will take part in the palace examination in a few days. During this time, you should rest at home. If you want to eat, send someone to tell the kitchen to make it." Take out some of the tonics in my warehouse and let the kitchen stew them every day for Brother Lian to eat."

"Yes."

Youshi smiled and said, "I also have a lot of good supplements, I will send someone to deliver them later."

"No need, I'm in good health and don't need to take supplements." Jia Lian was afraid that eating too much of these things would lead to overnutrition.

Jia Mu said disapprovingly: "You have used too much brain these days, so of course you have to make up for it."

"Brother Lian, the old ancestor is right, you need to make up for it now." You Shi said with a gentle face, "I still have a lot of valuable medicinal materials, and I will send someone to bring them over later."

Jia Lian was frightened by the enthusiasm of Jiamu and Youshi, so he found an excuse to leave and let them talk.

For Ningrong and Rongfu, it is very important for Jia Lian to participate in the palace examination.

Jia Zhen discussed with Jia She that Jia Lian had better go to the ancestral hall before taking part in the palace examination, report to the ancestors, and then pray to the ancestors to bless them and win the first prize.

Jia Amnesty felt that Jia Zhen's proposal was good. Before taking part in the palace examination, he was going to worship the ancestors.

The next day, Jia Amnesty took Jia Lian to Ningguo Mansion to worship the ancestors.The ancestor worship this time is the same as the ancestor worship on the Ching Ming Festival, very grand.Basically all the people from the Jia family in the capital came. Some people from Jinling didn't come, but they also asked someone to send gifts and blessings.

After offering sacrifices to the ancestors, Jia Lian locked himself in his yard, refused all visitors without leaving the gate.In the past two days, many people came to invite Jia Lian to go out as a guest, saying that they wished him the first prize in the exam.Some people are known by Jia Lian, some are related to the Jia family, and some are completely unknown.Regardless of whether these people had good intentions or false feelings, Jia Lian didn't bother to pay attention to them and directly refused.Even the fourth prince sent someone to invite him, but he refused.

Although the fourth prince who was rejected was a little unhappy, he could understand Jia Lian's actions. After all, the imperial examination was coming soon, so it was natural for Jia Lian to be nervous.

Jia Lian spends every day in his small yard basking in the sun, reading books, sipping tea, and exercising his body.

"Master, Mr. Jiang Run, whom you often mentioned, has sent someone to send another painting." Mother Zhao walked in with a scroll.

When Jia Lian heard this, his eyes lit up immediately, and he said hastily, "Show me." Since they met Mr. Jiang Run, they often discussed matters related to painting together.The two of them often donated paintings to each other. Mr. Jiang Run sent a painting when he took the provincial examination.

Nanny Zhao handed the scroll to Jia Lian, and Jia Lian opened it and saw that it was not an oil painting, but an ink painting of three fishes fighting for the moon.

In the painting, three carp jump out of the river and leap desperately towards the moon.

The three carp in the painting are vividly drawn, especially the picture of jumping out of the water and leaping desperately into the air is very realistic.

The implication of this painting is that the carp leaps over the dragon's gate.The homonym of the moon is "yue", and three fishes compete for the moon, that is, three months compete for the leap.

Mr. Jiang Run gave Jia Lian this painting, wishing him the first prize in the examination.

Jia Lian was very moved by Mr. Jiang Run's kindness, and decided to pay a visit to thank him in person after the palace examination was over.

Jia Lian couldn't go to Mr. Lin because he had to take part in the palace examination in a few days.He planned to go to Mr. Lin's place to play for a few days after the palace test was over.

Mr. Lin also knew that Jia Lian was going to take part in the palace examination, so he sent someone to deliver a lot of Jia Lian's favorite game, as well as a letter written by him himself.

Seeing that Mr. Lin was giving away both food and heart, Jia Lian was very moved, and decided to go to Mr. Lin's place to play a few more games of chess with him after the palace examination was over.

Mr. Lin's letter is not short, and the content can be summarized in three points.The first point: Let Jia Lian have confidence in himself and don't be nervous.The second point: Tell Jia Lian about his participation in the palace examination.The third point: cheer up Jia Lian, saying that he will definitely be the number one in the exam, and then take him out hunting to celebrate.

After Jia Lian read Mr. Lin's letter, besides being deeply moved, he also had a lot of doubts in his heart.Mr. Lin wrote a lot about the palace examination in the letter, which made Jia Lian wonder whether Mr. Lin had participated in the palace examination before.However, I heard Mr. Lin say that he was just an ordinary person, he was in business when he was young, and he did not take the imperial examination.

Now judging from this letter, Mr. Lin knows the palace examination very well. If he had not participated in the palace examination, it would be impossible to know so clearly.It seems that Grandpa Lin is not a businessman, he must have been a high official before.

Regarding the specific identity of Master Lin, Jia Lian will not go to the bottom of it.Grandpa Lin didn't want to tell him, there must be his reasons, so he didn't need to break the casserole and ask.

At this time, Emperor Longwu, who was admiring the flowers in the imperial garden, heard that Mr. Lin sent someone to give Jia Lian a lot of game, and couldn't help laughing: "Mr. Lin really loves Jia Lian."

Li Jinzhong had been to Mr. Lin's yard before, met Jia Lian once, and was very impressed with Jia Lian.On the one hand, it is because Jia Lian is so good-looking.On the other hand, because of Jia Lian playing chess with Mr. Lin, his face was red and his neck was thick.It was the first time he saw someone daring to quarrel with Mr. Lin in such a bold manner.

"The imperial examination is going to be in two days. I don't know how that kid Jia Lian will react when he sees me?" Emperor Long Wu raised a smile full of interest. He was looking forward to Jia Lian's reaction when he saw him.

Li Jinzhong thought, he would be scared to death.

"When that kid saw me, would he be too scared to answer the questions?" Emperor Longwu said worried words, but there was no trace of worry in his eyes, instead full of malice.

Hearing this, Li Jinzhong complained silently in his heart, Your Majesty, do you expect Mr. Jia to be unable to answer the questions, or do you expect Mr. Jia to be able to answer the questions?

"That kid has always been bold, so he shouldn't be so scared that he can't answer the questions, otherwise he will disappoint me too much."

Li Jinzhong: "..." Some sympathized with Mr. Jia.

A young eunuch came over, saluted Emperor Longwu first, and then said: "Your Majesty, Anhe Wang is begging to see you."

"An He?" A look of surprise flashed in Emperor Longwu's eyes, "What is he doing here at this time?"

"Your Majesty, maybe An and Wang have something important to do."

"Go back to the royal study."

"My minister sees the emperor."

Emperor Longwu waved his hand to signal An and Wang Pingshen.

"Anhe, what do you need from me?"

"Your Majesty, it's not a big deal for me to ask you, it's just..." An and Wang were a little embarrassed.

Emperor Longwu looked at An and Wang's appearance, and couldn't help being a little interested, and said teasingly: "Your clothes are unspeakable, do you think there is a girl in your fancy, and you are afraid that your younger siblings will disagree, so you ask me to marry you?"

When An and Wang heard this, the corners of their mouths twitched slightly, and then they said helplessly: "Your Majesty, I don't have any girl in my eye."

"Since you haven't taken a fancy to any girl, why are you shy?"

"I'm not shy, I just don't know how to speak."

When Emperor Longwu heard this, he became even more interested: "I forgive you for your innocence, just tell me."

An and Wang struggled for a while, but decided to speak out: "Your Majesty, after the palace examination is over, will you give the number one scholar a marriage?"

After hearing this, Emperor Longwu was surprised: "Why do you ask this?" Then he remembered that An and Wang had a daughter, and jokingly said, "Do you want to choose a son-in-law?"

"Your Majesty, you also know that I have a daughter..."

"Which one do you like?" Emperor Longwu touched his chin and guessed, "Ming Wanju? Yan Jingyun?"

An and Wang shook their heads lightly: "Neither."

"Neither of them?" Among the students who participated in the palace examination, only Ming Wanju and Yan Jingyun had better family backgrounds, and could be worthy of An and Wang's daughters. "Then who are you looking at?"

"Jia Lian..."

"Jia Lian?" Emperor Longwu looked surprised, "Why do you like Jia Lian?" Jia Lian is a good kid, but his family background is too poor.Yi An and this temperament who loves daughters like life, how could they be willing to marry their daughters.

An and Wang really wanted to say that he didn't fancy Jia Lian, but his daughter.But this sentence can't be said, otherwise it will damage the reputation of the daughter.

"Although Jia Lian's family background is a bit poor, he looks good and won five yuan. If he wins the first place in the next palace examination, he will be six yuan. This status is worthy of being the daughter of a minister. gone."

Emperor Longwu didn't believe what Anhe Wang said: "I don't know you yet. With your temperament, how could you be willing to settle your precious daughter's marriage so early." An and this guy finally gave birth to a daughter , spoiled her daughter to heaven, how could she be willing to marry her daughter early.

An Hewang froze when Emperor Longwu said it, and then said with a bitter face: "Your Majesty, although I don't want Wu'er to marry early, I also don't want to miss such an excellent person as Jia Lian."

Emperor Longwu didn't bother to pay attention to An and Wang, and said directly with a straight face: "Tell me the truth."

An and Wang could only tell the truth: "It's not that I've taken a fancy to Jia Lian, it's Wu'er who has taken a fancy to Jia Lian." Although he was reluctant to let his daughter marry early, he was even more reluctant to let her be sad.If Jia Lian married someone else, Wu'er would definitely be sad.

Emperor Longwu was surprised when he heard the words: "Wu'er has taken a fancy to Jia Lian? Wu'er has seen Jia Lian?" Soon, he thought that Wu'er's grandfather was the head of Zishan Academy, and Wu'er often went to Zishan Academy to visit his aunt and uncle. Last year, Jia Lian was guided by his aunt again. It is not surprising that Wu'er met Jia Lian.

An and Wang nodded depressedly: "Yes."

Seeing An and Wang's unhappy faces, Emperor Longwu continued to sprinkle salt on his wound: "That kid Jia Lian is good-looking, it's normal for Wu'er to like him."

An and Wang met Jia Lian. Although he was upset that his daughter liked Jia Lian, he had to admit that Jia Lian was good-looking.

"What do aunt and uncle mean?"

"The minister never mentioned this to them."

"With your personality, even if Wu'er takes a fancy to Jia Lian, you won't agree. Why did you come here to ask me?"

"I don't want to agree, but I don't want my daughter to be sad." When he thought of the sad expression on his precious daughter's face, his heart ached.

Emperor Longwu directly rolled his eyes at An and Wang, and despised An and Wang's behavior of loving their daughters like fate. "An He, you are late. Mr. Ming came to me a few days ago, hoping that I could marry his granddaughter and Jia Lian." Of course, there was no such thing, it was purely Emperor Longwu's bad taste, and he wanted to tease him. An and Wang.

"What?" An Hewang didn't disappoint Emperor Longwu, "Elder Ming also took a fancy to Jia Lian?"

"As you said, Jia Lian is good-looking and smart. He passed the five-yuan exam before, and maybe he will pass the six-yuan exam next time. It's normal for Ming Lao to like him." Emperor Longwu said nonsense in a serious manner, "Besides, Jia Lian and Ming Lao's grandson are classmates, and they have a good relationship. Naturally, Ming Lao can trust his granddaughter to Jia Lian."

"Your Majesty, you are Wu'er's cousin." An and Wang didn't expect Ming Lao to intervene, and immediately made him panic, "Are you willing to make Wu'er feel sad?"

Emperor Longwu pretended to be very embarrassed: "Anhe, Mr. Ming never asks me for anything. This is the first time he has asked me. It's not easy for me to refuse."

"Your majesty, you are Wu'er's cousin."

"Anyway, you don't like Jia Lian. Doesn't Wu'er not marry Jia Lian just suits your wishes?"

"I don't want Wu'er to be sad."

Emperor Longwu was satisfied when he saw An and Wang panicked, so he stopped teasing him.

"Okay, just to tease you, Ming Lao didn't ask me for a marriage." Emperor Long Wu and An He Wang are cousins, they grew up together, they are closer than brothers, they often joke.

An and Wang: "..." The emperor liked to tease him since he was a child, and he still teases him often, which really makes people angry.

"I don't intend to give you a marriage." Emperor Longwu heard Mr. Lin mention before that Jia Lian wants to find a wife by himself, and he doesn't want to be arranged by his family.

Hearing this, An Hewang breathed a sigh of relief: "The minister begged the emperor to marry him."

Emperor Longwu waved the folding fan in his hand, and said with a smile: "You ask for a marriage, but I won't give it either."

An and Wang looked puzzled: "Why?"

"I don't like messing around with mandarin ducks." Emperor Longwu said solemnly, "Wu'er has taken a fancy to Jia Lian. Whether Jia Lian can pass Wu'er's exam is still a question."

"The minister's Wu'er is beautiful, smart and well-behaved. How dare that kid Jia Lian look down on Wu'er!"

"It's not that I hit you, but it's my daughter, that kid Jia Lian might not like it."

Compared with Emperor Longwu's daughter, An Hewang's daughter is not so noble.When An Hewang heard this, he immediately stopped.

"Wu'er likes that kid Jia Lian very much. If the emperor doesn't give you a marriage, what will Wu'er do?"

"An He, it's not that I'm talking about you, it's just because of your temperament that you love daughters so much, even if Jia Lian passed the Wu'er exam, he can't stand your temper." Emperor Longwu didn't have many daughters, but they were not like An He. He loves his daughter like his life like Wang. "By the way, there are also your four sons. Of the five of you, who can bear it. No matter how much you like Wu'er, you will retreat."

Anhe Wang was told by Emperor Longwu that he could not refute it.

"I will not promise you."

"Your Majesty..." An Hewang looked at Emperor Longwu pitifully, "My Majesty, I beg you..."

"You beg me, but I won't agree." Emperor Longwu looked non-negotiable.

An Hewang could tell from Emperor Longwu's attitude that if Jia Lian won the first prize, he would be reused by Emperor Longwu.

"Instead of begging me for a marriage, it's better to find a matchmaker to talk about marriage. Let Jia Lian meet Wu'er and see if Jia Lian can like Wu'er." Emperor Longwu said with a smile, "If Jia Lian likes Wu'er, I will give marriage."

"Okay, I listen to the emperor, go back and find a matchmaker." After speaking, An and Wang left angrily.

After An and Wang left, Li Jinzhong said, "Your Majesty, why didn't you tell An and Wang that it was the Supreme Emperor who forbade you to give Jia Lian a marriage?"

"The old man doesn't like other people to know about the matter between the old man and Jia Lian. Although An He is not an outsider, I can't tell him." It's not that Emperor Long Wu didn't believe in King An and Wang, but that the Supreme Emperor refused to let him go, so there was nothing I could do.

"I didn't expect that Anhe Wang would come to ask the emperor to marry you..."

"If Jia Lian doesn't like Wu'er, how will An and that guy react?" Of course, Emperor Longwu also hoped that Wu'er, a niece, would be happy, but such things as feelings cannot be forced. If Jia Lian really didn't like her, Even if his cousin bestows marriage, Wu'er will not be happy.

"An and Wang must be very angry." I'm afraid Jia Lian will not be let go.

"Let Anhe himself have a headache about this matter, I won't interfere."

Jia Lian, who was mentioned by Emperor Longwu and Anhe Wang, was reading a book at home at this time, and sneezed several times suddenly, which frightened Mammy Zhao and the others to report to Jia Amnesty and Jia Mu.

Jia Amnesty and Jia's mother were afraid that Jia Lian would suffer from the cold, so they hurriedly sent someone to invite Dr. Zhang, but Jia Lian stopped him.He just had an itchy nose, not a cold, so he didn't need to ask the imperial physician, but Jia Amnesty and Jia Mu were worried, so they sent someone to invite the imperial physician Zhang.

Doctor Zhang came over soon, and carefully took Jia Lian's pulse, saying that he was in good health and there was nothing wrong with him, but he was a little weak, so he prescribed a medicine to reduce the fire.

Seeing that Mother Jia valued Jia Lian so much, the servants in Rongguo Mansion thought that they must respect Jia Lian more in the future, and it would be best to please Young Master Lian.

Seeing that Jia's mother cared so much about Jia Lian, Jia Zheng felt very uncomfortable. Thinking of what Mrs. Wang said before, he felt that this could not go on.

He ran to find Jia Mu and told Jia Mu that he was worried about Jia Zhu and was going to live in Zhuangzi for a while, waiting for when Jia Zhu recovered from his illness and when he would come back.

Jia's mother was always thinking about Jia Zhu, and she didn't know how Jia Zhu was doing in Zhuangzi these few days.Hearing what Jia Zheng said now, he wants to send someone to bring Jia Zhu back.

Seeing that Jia Mu still cared about Jia Zhu, Jia Zheng was relieved.

"Mother, although Zhuangzi's side has a nice view, the food and lodging are not as good as in the mansion. Brother Zhu has been away for a few days, and he should feel better. Let's send someone to pick him up."

"I have this plan. Brother Zhu has been living in Zhuangzi, and I don't feel at ease. Let him come back, so I can feel at ease." Mother Jia ordered Lai Da and Zhou Rui to go to Zhuangzi to take Jia Zhu and Mrs. Wang to the village. Take it back.

"Master, the old lady sent someone to pick up the young master." Zhao Mama got the news immediately and came back to tell Jia Lian.

"Jia Zhu also went to Zhuangzi for several days. It's normal to pick him up at this time, but I don't know if he's getting better?"

"The old slave doesn't want the young master and the others to come back at this time." Zhao Mama frowned and said, "Once the second wife comes back, the mansion will not be peaceful again."

"It's impossible for them not to come back forever." The palace exam will be held the day after tomorrow. If he wins the first prize, he will be able to move out of Rongguo Mansion, away from Jia Zhu and his group, and live a quiet life.

"Master said yes."

Two days later, the palace examination was held as scheduled.

The Palace Examination is also called the Imperial Examination and Ting Dui. As the name suggests, it is a highest-level examination that the emperor personally writes and watches. Only those who pass the examination can participate in the palace examination.

Palace exam, when you hear this name, you know where to take the exam.This year's palace examination, like previous years' palace examinations, was held in the Palace of Preserving Harmony.

When Jia Lian thought of taking the exam in front of the emperor, he felt a little excited and a little nervous, after all, he had never seen a living emperor.In my previous life, although I watched many historical dramas and saw many emperors in the dramas, none of them were true, and I didn't feel much about them.After a while, I will meet the real emperor and answer questions in front of the emperor. How can I not be excited and nervous.

Even Jia Lian, a modern person, is looking forward to seeing the emperor, let alone a native ancient person.You must know that in ancient times, the emperor existed like a god, and it was an infinitely glorious thing to see the emperor.

The students who took the mid-term exam all went to the palace exam with great excitement and anxiety.

Before dawn, Jia Lian got up and went to exercise as usual.After exercising well, the heart that could not be calm for a long time finally calmed down.

In fact, as soon as Jia Lian got up, the whole Rongguo Mansion was as bright as day.

Jia's mother sent someone to invite Jia Lian to have dinner with her. Although Jia Lian didn't want to go, she had to.

Today's breakfast is very rich, not as usual.

Jia's mother told Jia Lian to eat more, so as not to be hungry during the imperial examination.But don't eat too much, or you will end up with a stomachache.

Jia Lian didn't dare to eat too much. If he wanted to go to the toilet after eating too much, he would be done. Just eat eight percent full.

After breakfast, Jia's mother dragged Jia Lian and talked a lot before letting Jia Lian go.

The palace examination was only for one day, from morning to evening, so Jia Lian didn't need to bring anything to go out.

Jia Amnesty still sent Jia Lian to the exam this time, and the father and son talked a lot while sitting in the carriage.

Half an hour later, the carriage arrived at the gate of the palace.

Jia Lian jumped out of the carriage and found that many people had already arrived.Although there are many people, it is not noisy at all.

Jia Amnesty also jumped out of the carriage, told Jia Lian again, and then went back.The carriage is not allowed to stay for too long at the gate of the palace.

Jia Lian walked over and stood behind the queue, waiting for the palace gate to open.

300 people were admitted in the previous examination, so there were only 300 people who participated in the palace examination, not many people, but not too few.

Soon, the palace gate opened.

Under the guidance of the eunuch, each candidate entered the arena in order of rank.

Jia Lian is Huiyuan, so naturally he has to be the first to enter the arena.When the eunuch saw Jia Lian, he was very polite to him and called him "Young Master Jia", which made Jia Lian a little flattered.

After the candidates enter the palace, the next step is some etiquette before the exam.

Roll call.

Loose rolls.

Pay homage.

salute.

After all this was over, the examinees met Emperor Longwu as they wished, including Jia Lian naturally.However, since he couldn't look directly at Longyan, Jia Lian didn't see Emperor Longwu's face clearly, so he didn't know that Emperor Longwu was the "Uncle Lin" he had seen many times before.

After seeing the emperor and performing a series of salutes, the examinees sat in their seats and prepared for the exam.

After Jia Lian sat down, he glanced around secretly from the corner of his eye, and found that there were many officials standing aside, and many imperial guards guarding the side.Not only that, but Emperor Longwu was sitting on it, and the atmosphere became very solemn.

Many candidates were very excited when they saw Emperor Longwu.After sitting down, the excitement was replaced by nervousness.

Taking the exam under the eyes of the emperor, with many ministers and imperial guards guarding it, many candidates were so nervous that they were shaking all over.

After a while, the palace examination officially began, and the examination papers were distributed.

After Jia Lian got the test paper, he habitually checked it from beginning to end to see if there were any ambiguities or mistakes.

Seeing that the examination papers were normal, Jia Lian breathed a sigh of relief, and then began to examine the questions.

There is only one question in the imperial examination, and that is the policy discussion question.

Of course, the policy questions in the palace examination are much more difficult than those in the general examination, and candidates are required to combine current events and list specific cases for analysis.

Jia Lian almost exclaimed when he saw that the test question was that water can carry a boat and capsize it. Fortunately, he closed his mouth in time and did not make any sound.

Fuck! ! ! ! ! ! !

Did he read it right?

Jia Lian closed his eyes, then opened them again.Close your eyes again, then open them again.I went back and forth several times to make sure I read it correctly.

Jia Lian's eyes bulged out of shock, unable to believe what he saw.

He reached out and twisted his thigh, and a sharp pain came, telling him that this was not a dream.

After being extremely shocked for a while, Jia Lian finally calmed down, full of admiration for the head of the mountain.

The head of the mountain is simply a god-man, and he can guess the exam questions of the imperial examination.

Why doesn't Jia Lian doubt that Shan Chang, as Emperor Longwu's uncle, can get the exam questions for the palace examination.

This is impossible.

Only a few ministers who took part in the examination papers knew about the examination questions that Emperor Longwu personally set, and the others were completely unaware of them.If the test questions are leaked, the ministers who participated in the marking will be questioned.

Therefore, Shan Chang guessed the exam question, it can only be said that he guessed it by chance.

After Jia Lian calmed down, he began to write with a pen.

Emperor Longwu had been paying attention to Jia Lian, so he naturally saw how he almost screamed just now, and couldn't help wondering in his heart, Jia Lian seemed very surprised, why was he surprised?

Jia Lian wrote the question that water can carry a boat and capsize it before, and was carefully guided by the head of the mountain, so the writing will naturally be very fast.

After a while, Jia Lian wrote more than 2000 words eloquently.

After finishing writing, Jia Lian checked it carefully to make sure that there were no typos or omissions, so she felt relieved and sat quietly in her seat, waiting for the paper to be collected.

Emperor Longwu was very shocked when he saw that Jia Lian had written the examination paper early, this kid finished it so quickly?

Not only Emperor Longwu paid attention to Jia Lian, but also the ministers present paid attention to Jia Lian.Seeing that Jia Lian wrote it so quickly, I was very surprised.

Emperor Longwu and his ministers really wanted to go over and pick up Jia Lian's examination paper to have a look.However, walking is not allowed in the palace examination, and even Emperor Longwu can't come down and walk casually.

Jia Lian didn't know that he had attracted the attention of Emperor Longwu and the ministers. At this time, he had finished the examination papers and could not hand them in ahead of time, so he could only sit on his seat and prop his chin to wait for the end.After waiting for a while, I became sleepy and bit the tip of my tongue fiercely.
