Pet wife Imperial Examination Road

Sitting in the carriage, Zheng Shuyu always felt strange. He had an illusion that he had seen Cheng Mu somewhere before, but he couldn't remember his face.

Wen Chenyi hugged him in his arms, saw Zheng Shuyu was absent-minded, held his hand and asked what's wrong.

"Chen Yi, I always feel that where I met Cheng Mu, before I knew him, maybe when I was a child, I always felt that he gave off a very familiar aura."

"If you can't remember it, don't think about it. Wait until there is another sign."

Zheng Shuyu had no choice but to give up, maybe he felt wrong.

Yun Yun has learned a lot from getting along with the son of a wealthy family in the past few months. At least she has become more mature and stable in dealing with people, and she doesn't panic when encountering things.

Seeing that the examination was about to start, there was a trend in Beijing again, and it was spread among the students that as long as they could bribe the bachelor, they would definitely get a lot of attention during the examination.Generally, in addition to the bachelor, there will be a prince representing the emperor to invigilate the examination and participate in the evaluation of talents.In the beginning, the crown prince represented the emperor. Since the bribery case occurred five years ago when the crown prince invigilated the exam, the emperor angrily abolished the prince's right to invigilate the exam, and the fourth prince took over.This year the crown prince came back from Jiangnan to supervise, maybe the emperor used the crown prince, but it didn't come out, everyone dared not act rashly, for fear of giving the wrong gift.

The invigilator can’t send it, and the bachelor still doesn’t change every year. Everyone tries their best to give gifts to the scholar’s ​​mansion. It’s heard that the gifts can range from a few hundred taels to thousands of taels. Not only gold and silver, but also beauties from the Western Regions will be given. As long as the tribute can be sent in, it will be sent in.

After the beginning of spring, the weather quickly warmed up, and it was only February that the big winter padded jackets had been taken off, and the willow trees outside were budding and peach blossoms were in full bloom, looking full of vitality.

"The trend of giving gifts in the capital has really become more and more popular in recent years." Wen Chenyi said.

Yun Yun picked up a cup of tea and replied, "This has happened in Linchuan and Qingzhou. At that time, I thought it was because it was far away from the capital and the court couldn't control it. Now it seems that the emperor dares to do it. What else is wrong? Dare to do it."

"Don't you give gifts?" Zheng Shuyu joked.

"Brother Zheng, don't laugh at me. If we have money, why should we eat and drink with you? We've played all the things in the capital, how can we drink bitter tea in front of a teacup here. "Yun Yun is also very familiar with the two of them, and her speech is not as stiff as before.

"Cheng Mu, Yun Yun looks like someone after staying with him for a long time now. You can see that he has been hanging out with Shuyu in the past few months, and his tone of voice is exactly the same."

"Brother Wen said that because he looked down on his own wife. Shuyu is gentle, courteous and elegant. Yun Yun has been with him for a long time. I think it is a good thing."

After talking and laughing, the exam was about to start, Yun Yun didn't go out half a month in advance, and had been reviewing her homework at home.Zheng Shuyu has been studying in Yunzhou when he has nothing to do, and he reads a lot of good books. He happened to come to help Yun Yun when he had nothing to do at home. Naturally, Wen Chenyi also rushed over.

It was not until Yun Yun was sent to the examination room that Wen Chenyi and Zheng Shuyu returned to their respective homes, and they were still reluctant to part when they left.

The general examination is much more complicated than the previous ones, and there are several exams to be taken. Cheng Mu waited anxiously outside the door for every one.Most of the people waiting are rich children, like Cheng Mu who came from a small mountain village, even if they arrive in the capital, they don’t have the money to curry favor with university scholars, many people are scared by so many hotel fees and various expenses , directly gave up participating in the examination, and one of the candidates returned to his hometown to become a sesame official.

After the last exam, Yun Yun came out of the exam room, and her legs softened and she leaned against Cheng Mu's body. He was mentally overwhelmed by making fuss for such a long time.Cheng Mu supported Yun Yun back to the residence, and it was only then that Yun Yun told the truth in the examination room.

Ever since the emperor ordered the fourth prince to invigilate the exam, many people began to curry favor with the fourth prince. The fourth prince has great power in Beijing, and who would dare to say anything wrong with him.When Yun Yun went to the examination room, she realized that more than half of the people had been taken away as soon as the test papers were handed out. In the end, there were only a few of them left in the whole room, and they were not the children of rich families according to their clothes.

Immediately afterwards, candidates from other places were sent over. Originally, the positions for the test were randomly arranged, but the Fourth Prince turned a blind eye and simply put all those who paid bribes together, and those who did not pay bribes were placed in the At the same time, the emperor will not come to inspect, as long as it is not passed on to the emperor, no one will know about it.The party members who supported the prince were directly blocked by the fourth prince's people. Even if they wanted to go in and expose their evil deeds, there was no evidence.

"Cheng Mu, what do you think if I don't pass the exam? There are only two people in the room who really rely on their own strength. Those places have been taken away by others. Is it true that I have no chance?" Yun Yun Said dejectedly.

"No, they would not dare to do this if they are truly talented and learned."

Yun Yun came to her senses, "That's right, if everyone was bribed, the emperor would reveal their secrets when they checked during the palace examination. They wouldn't be so stupid."

After passing the exam, the marriage between Zheng Shuyu and Wen Chenyi is coming soon. Both the Hou Mansion and the Zheng Mansion are preparing for this matter, and the whole capital is full of excitement. Such a big fanfare is really rare. Fortunately, Wen Chenyi has two children under his name. People will criticize.

March happens to be the season for outings, and the scenery in the outskirts of the capital can be considered top-notch. Many literati and refined scholars come to the outskirts for outings, and Cheng Mu also brings Yun Yun along with the students.

There is a small hill in the suburbs, known as Yanling Mountain. There is a stream running down the mountain. In spring, the scenery is extremely beautiful. The top of the mountain is relatively dangerous, but the scenery is very good, and many people come here for it.

At the bottom of the mountain, countless people walked up the mountain. It has not rained in the past few days, and the stairs are not slippery, and it is easy to go up.There is a small pavilion on the hillside, and there is a flat green grass next to it. Everyone recites poems and has fun around the pavilion, and some of them enjoy themselves on the grass with delicious wine and food.

Cheng Mu found an even grass, spread a cloth for Yun Yun to sit down, took out the food he had brought, and enjoyed the beautiful scenery with the breeze blowing.Not long after, a figure passed by in the woods. Cheng Mu raised his vigilance and indeed saw someone going to the top of the mountain. He told Yun Yun to sit here and go forward to explore the way by himself.

If he read it correctly, the person just now looked like the one he had saved before!

The steeper and steeper he went up the mountain, the more disturbed Cheng Mu felt. This kind of place is not a place for ordinary people. I heard that there is a temple on the top of Yanling Mountain, but it was abandoned more than ten years ago. Now going to the top of the mountain is just a It is possible to go to the temple.
