In the second cuju competition, the scores of the two teams were tied one to one.

Although there was no winner, both teams played very well.Especially in the last three seconds, Li Jin grabbed Ju and kicked into the yellow team's net steadily and ruthlessly, scoring a point for his red team, bringing the whole game to a climax.

"Which family is this young man, where is he on duty, why haven't I seen it before?"

This sentence was the most frequently asked by the wives sitting on the sidelines today, and most of them knew young talents of similar families in the capital.

Naturally, he was very curious about new faces.

"Do you still remember the "Mengxue Suanjing" and "Nongsang Suanjing" ordered by His Majesty to be printed nationwide last October? He is the author of these two books, and his name is Li Jin."

"When you say that, I remember it. I heard that he is married?"

"Isn't it? Even have children."

"It's a pity. I heard that he is not very old. How can his family be so blind and get married so early?"

It's no wonder that some wives thought this way. As soon as the Jinshi list came out, the custom of "catching a son-in-law under the list" was very popular in this dynasty.

After all, most of Jinshi are candidates from all over the country, and the proportion of people from the capital is very small.Most of the "caught" sons-in-law have never married, and they are willing to recognize a father-in-law in the capital, which can save them more than ten years of struggle.

Although I thought so, but when this ill-informed lady said this, all the ladies around her sat a little far away from her.

The person His Majesty has personally praised, this person dares to directly dismiss him in this way, but he is really outspoken.

"Hey, since when has it become a rule that foreigners who come to Beijing can't marry wives?" The one who spoke was the wife of the Dushuiqing bureaucrat Wai Lang, whose husband was full of praise for Li Jin.

He even said in private, "This son's future is limitless."

She had never seen her husband make such an evaluation of a person without an official status. Even Zhu Shan, a good friend of her husband, said bluntly that 'the way is in arithmetic'.

At that time, she took the initiative to ask her husband why his future was limitless.

Yuanwailang said: "If you are an official, you will be an extremely human minister. If you are not an official, then..."

The lady said, "Then what?"

"It will flow through the ages."

This lady has always believed in her man's eyesight, that's why she said this to defend Li Jin.

But everyone just talked about it, and the other people said haha ​​and the matter was exposed, and there was no big splash.

Some well-informed wives also paid more attention to Li Jin when they saw that the always gentle Mrs. Yuanwailang was so tough.

They thought, they heard that Li Jin had participated in the examination last month, so let's see his ranking in the examination first.

And the day before, the Ministry of Rites.

The work of transcribing has long been over, and the examiners who graded the paper began to read the paper repeatedly, drawing 'O' or 'X' to indicate their assessment of the answer paper.

'O' stands for excellent, while '×' stands for inferior. An 'X' drawn in the 'O' represents medium.

Each answer sheet should be judged by at least three to five people, if all are '×', then it will definitely not be admitted.

At this moment, the answer sheets that the examiners saw were all copied by the Imperial Academy in a unified font.

All are neat and tidy, and there is no slight gap that can be seen. We can only make decisions from the content.

Shu Mingchen is the servant of the Ministry of Rites. As the deputy examiner of this exam, he has great power.

But he refused to rest for a moment, and quickly checked the answer sheets that the examiners had evaluated.

Regardless of the grade of the test paper, he would go over it to prevent the examiners from colluding and burying a good answer paper.

But the examiners obviously didn't have the guts to do so. Shu Mingchen inspected for so many days and found that they strictly abided by the detailed rules for marking papers that the chief examiner had said, and there was no favoritism at all.

Whenever Shu Mingchen came across an answer sheet with three 'O's, he would look at it carefully for a while, then write his own evaluation and put it on his left hand side.

It will be presented to the examiner later.

After a few days, there were only six answer sheets on Shu Mingchen's left hand.

He frowned, thinking to himself, Enke not only did not have as many candidates as regular subjects, but even the quality of the answer papers was not high.

If their level is only at this level, then the number of people who can pass this time will probably drop to the bottom.

After all, His Majesty will not reject those who can pass the examination in the palace examination 20 days later, and all of them will be awarded the title of Jinshi.This represents His Majesty's trust in the Ministry of Rites.

Shu Mingchen felt that he could not betray His Majesty's trust.

It is better to admit less than to lower the standard.

At this moment, Shu Mingchen got another answer sheet. This answer sheet had five circles and a signature on it, which meant it had been evaluated by five people.

But to his surprise, there was an '×' in the first circle, but it was crossed out and a circle was drawn below.

This means that the first examiner originally thought that the answer sheet was only average, but after seeing the back, he couldn't help but rate it as excellent.

You should know that in most cases, the judges will not modify their own marking results for the sake of face.

After all, after changing the result, this answer sheet must be evaluated by at least three other colleagues. If disputes are caused, their efficiency will be greatly reduced.

Obviously, this answer sheet did not cause any controversy at all. The five judges and five circles were all very optimistic about this answer sheet.

Because it is Enke, the questions in this test are not difficult. The first question on this answer sheet is well-written. Although it involves industry, the rhetoric is not gorgeous enough to make people shine.

However, this answer sheet has simple sentences and earnest words, which wash away Shu Mingchen's bad mood after seeing so many '×' answer sheets.

He looked at the second four-book essay of this answer sheet, and couldn't help but want to applaud!

When the undergraduates set the questions, they are progressive. The examiner said when he explained the detailed rules of the paper, if the examinee notices the progressive and interlocking points, it is excellent.

Shu Mingchen thought, this candidate is really good.

He continued to look down, and the third question of the Four Books was much more difficult, but this article did not disappoint him, and its content was still closely related to the first two.

With such writing power, only one of the six excellent answer sheets on his left could do it.

Shu Mingchen originally thought that Huiyuan had prepared that article, but unexpectedly, someone would come to compete for it now.

He felt much more relieved, wrote a few praiseful comments, and continued to look at the five scriptures.

From then on, Shu Mingchen never touched the pen in his hand. He never expected that someone could be so knowledgeable and talented!

After reading it, Shu Mingchen was in a turbulent mood. He couldn't help drawing three circles in a row on the front of the paper, holding the answer sheet with both hands, intending to present it to the chief examiner for review.

The examiner sitting next to him caught a glimpse of this scene and became jealous silently. He is just a weak examiner who only has the right to draw a circle... I really envy Shu Mingchen's servant.

It's not that the assistant examiner has the right to draw more circles. It stands to reason that each person can only draw one circle, but if it is an extremely brilliant answer sheet, the assistant examiner can immediately submit it to the chief examiner.

In addition, this time it is Enke, after the cabinet bachelors have reviewed the answer sheet, there is still a chance to present it to His Majesty.

Li Jin didn't know that on his answer sheet, no, there were eight circles on the transcribed version of his answer sheet.

And the final assessment of who is Huiyuan is that the examiner will carefully assess after seeing the number of circles.

Because those well-written answer sheets will naturally be circulated back and forth by the reviewers, and it is really not easy for everyone to find mistakes.

After Cuju was over, the rest of the team were full of praise for Li Jin's performance.

"I almost thought we were going to lose, but luckily there is Xiu."

"It's all because of my mistake just now, and I was snatched by the yellow team."

"Don't mention it, we cooperated well, and the kick that Xiuzhi kicked at the end was really admirable."

Li Jin smiled modestly, "In the end, I was lucky, and I performed exceptionally well while being nervous."

Later, he declined everyone's invitation to drink, saying that he brought his husband and children and had to take care of them.

"Xiuzhi got married?"

"You look only eighteen or nineteen."

"How old is the child? Is it a boy or a girl? My family also has two children."

Li Jin: "..." He knew that everyone was just talking politely, and after saying goodbye, they dispersed.

When he returned, Xiao Baozi was surrounded by two familiar faces.

Zhu Shan's family didn't know the identities of the two children, they just thought they were skin children from some nearby family, and they didn't ask much when they saw Qin Muwen handing out pastries to them.

Seeing Li Jin from the corner of his eye, Mo Zi stood up quickly, clasped his fists and nodded, "Uncle Li."

Li Jin also nodded back, and said with a smile: "It's been a long time since I saw you, you've all grown taller."

I met Erye Mo in the book shop before, and Li Jin also knew the attitude of the general's mansion, which was to recognize him as a junior, but in order not to affect his official career, he did not disclose the relationship.

Now in private, it would be a little tricky for him to widen the distance between the two families.

Therefore, Li Jin is more familiar with the attitude of the children in the General's Mansion.

Lao Wu also saw Li Jin at this moment, with pastry crumbs on his lips, and a kite with a small bun in his hand, he stood up to greet Li Jin, and said, "Uncle, can I take him to fly a kite?"

Li Jin was silent for a moment. After all, they were all children, and they would have nothing to do when they met human traffickers.

Little Baozi saw Dad's hesitation, and said, "I'll let you play with the kite, I won't go."

Fifth child: "...I, I didn't intend to snatch your kite. I run fast and can fly the kite high for you to see."

In the end, Li Jin took a litter of children to find a place with fewer people, watched them play, and took care of them when they stumbled.

After a while, Qin Muwen also came with the little mountain leopard in his arms.

Qin Muwen said: "Xiao Shanbao is crying looking for his brother."

Sure enough, Little Mountain Leopard stretched out his small arms and shouted, "Brother! Brother!"

Little Baozi's eyes lit up, and he hurried to see his younger brother. He stood on tiptoe to look at the little mountain leopard in Father's arms.

He was very pleasantly surprised and said to Dad, "Daddy, my younger brother will be called my elder brother."

Finally not the monophonic 'brother'.

Little Mountain Leopard: "..."

Qin Muwen: "..."

For such a short while, Mo Zixuan and Lao Wu also flew the kite into the sky without the 'obstruction' from the little bun.

The wind was strong halfway up the mountain, and the kite was wobbly at first, but then rose steadily.

"Look, we're flying the kite into the sky!" Lao Wu cheered and shouted, while Mo Zi spun to the side to reel up and loosen the string, looking at him like he was pretending not to know his brother.

Xiao Baozi's attention was attracted by him, he pointed to the kite, and said to his younger brother, "Look, kite."

Xiao Shanbao grabbed Xiao Baozi's hand, "Brother."

The kite flies very high. If a person can have that height, the line of sight may pass through the heavily guarded Dragon Boat Gate and reach the Golden Luan Hall and the Imperial Study Room.

There, the elderly emperor looked at the beautiful pavilion style presented on his desk with a little appreciation in his eyes.

And when he carefully read the content, his appreciation gradually expanded.
