The next day, the weather was gloomy and the wind was still bitter.Gu Changfeng and Shen Yanbei brought incense offerings such as wine, meat, paper candles, ingots, etc. to pay homage to Duke Zhen.

"Father, my son has come to see you. My son is not filial and failed to see you off for the last time..." Gu Changfeng's eyes were red, and he knelt down in front of the tombstone with a plop, and kowtowed his head heavily to bury him on the ground.

Shen Yanbei stared at the scarlet letter engraved on the tombstone, and knelt down beside Gu Changfeng.

"Father-in-law, my son-in-law, Shen Yanbei, came to see me. Because Changfeng accidentally lost his memory and couldn't remember his life experience, he came back late. Please don't blame him." Shen Yanbei said sincerely, "My son-in-law I am poor and down, and Meng Changfeng will not give up, and is willing to commit himself to me and take care of me carefully."

"Chang Fenggui is the eldest son of the Duke's Mansion, and his son-in-law is of low status, so he is unworthy. But I love him more than him, so I came to see you with the cheek."

"I have no power or power, only a heart to pay."

"I, Shen Yanbei, swear to the sky that regardless of wealth or poverty, regardless of health or disease, no matter whether life is good or bad, I will always only want to be with him, respect and love each other, depend on each other, accompany each other, and never leave him for the rest of my life!"

"May your spirit in heaven bear witness!"

Gu Changfeng's pupils trembled, and he suddenly turned his head to look at Shen Yanbei, eyes full of disbelief.

Every word and every word of the young man hit his heart, making him shrouded in indescribable surprise.

Shen Yanbei solemnly kowtowed three times, and then smiled at him: "Okay, I have met the Duke, what about my other father-in-law?"

Gu Changfeng's lips moved, he looked straight at Shen Yanbei, his mood fluctuated, and he asked after a while, "What you said just now meant that I was the only one in this life?"

Shen Yanbei rubbed his nose, a little embarrassed: "I originally wanted to talk to you when I wanted to get married, but..."

"I never wanted to spend the rest of my life with anyone other than you."

In his opinion, it is better to take actual actions to prove it.But in front of his father-in-law's grave, he had to say something beautiful to reassure the old man, so he brought out the wedding oath.

He would never say such serious words!

"Yanbei..." Gu Changfeng's mood was agitated, his dark eyes sparkled, "Me too."

"You are the only king in this life, life and death follow you."

Shen Yanbei was taken aback, Gu Changfeng said bluntly: I love you, and I will be with you even after I die.

A man as introverted as his wife is actually talking to him...

Shen Yanbei was both excited and distressed, and hurriedly held his hand and said: "Our days are still long, what is there to die! Take me to see my father-in-law!"

"En." Gu Changfeng held his hand back, feeling as sweet as honey in his heart.

Gu Changfeng's biological father was buried in another place, and Shen Yanbei was puzzled: "Why didn't your father be buried with the Duke..." He stopped in the middle of speaking.

The ancients paid attention to the joint burial of husband and wife, and the husband and wife would be buried in the same tomb after death.Gu Changfeng's biological father was not buried with Zhen Guogong, it must be the fault of the current Guogong's wife!

Gu Changfeng's face was tense, and his usually calm black eyes were burning with anger.

"I want to get back what belongs to me, and choose an auspicious day to raise my father's coffin and bury it with my father!"

Shen Yanbei patted him on the shoulder, silently supporting him.

After paying homage to Mr. and Mrs. Zhen Guo, the two returned to the imperial city.Su Qingze was accompanied by the emperor but did not walk with them, and the two enjoyed a rare two-person world.

As the day of the trial was getting closer and closer, countless candidates gathered in the imperial city.Everywhere in the inn and teahouse, you can see those scholars in green clothes and Confucian shirts discussing articles in groups of three or four, or making friends and chatting with each other.

Shen Yanbei did not participate in their discussion, but listened attentively.Before leaving for the north, Li Zhiyuan read his article and said that his writing is fluent. Although the words and sentences in the article are not gorgeous, they have profound ideas, novel viewpoints, concise and unique writing style, which is very amazing.As long as you keep your mind steady, it is not difficult to get a title on the Gold List, but if you want to go further, you need to figure out the mind of the person who made the question, cater to it or refute it with reason and evidence, so as to leave a deep impression on people, from hundreds to thousands Stand out among the candidates!

In the past few days, he went to restaurants and restaurants, and heard many candidates discussing current affairs, and he had a good impression of Zhao Yu, the ruler, in his heart.By allowing readers to speak freely, they will be able to hear different voices and adopt useful opinions from them.

"Brother Shen?"

Suddenly a strange voice came from next to his ear, Shen Yanbei looked up and saw that it was a young man with a friendly face who called him.

The young man looked familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere before.Shen Yanbei thought for a while, then cupped his hands and said with a smile, "Brother Zhang!" The young man is his classmate, the No.3 in the Qinghe County Township Examination last year, Zhang Cheng from Qingzhou.

Seeing that there were only two people at their table, Zhang Cheng couldn't help asking: "Didn't Young Master Su come to Yongjing with you? Why didn't you see him?"

Are you looking for Su Qingze?Shen Yanbei smiled lightly: "He has gone to meet friends."

"So that's how it is..." Zhang Cheng looked a little regretful, "I'm going to have a wedding with the married daughter of the Su family, and that's when I heard about Young Master Su going north with you.

"The married daughter of the Su family?" Shen Yanbei raised his eyebrows, "Is Miss Su San married?"

Zhang Cheng nodded: "That's right, Third Miss Su married King Jinyang as a side concubine. Su's family set up a flowing banquet for three days and three nights."

I've heard Su Qingze mention this before, but I didn't expect this third Miss Su to go all the way.Shen Yanbei shook his head in his heart, and suddenly remembered something.

When Li Yi, a member of the Li family village, pestered Su Qingze, the emperor directly ordered Li Zhiyuan to send him to prison.The king of Jinyang almost succeeded in designing Su Qingze, why didn't the emperor respond?

And the Su family, Mrs. Su Jingheng and Mrs. Wei hated King Jinyang to death, so why was she so public about Su Ruizhen marrying into King Jinyang's mansion?

shouldn't be...

Frowning slightly, Shen Yanbei felt that the matter was not as simple as it appeared on the surface, but it was beyond his comprehension as a small person.

Zhang Cheng didn't know Su Qingze well at first, and he came to say hello just because he wanted to see Su Qingze. Now that Su Qingze is not here, he left after exchanging greetings with Shen Yanbei.

"This piece of Cheng seems to be interested in Qingze. It's a pity!" Su Qingze is the one the emperor wants, who would dare to snatch it?

"Qingze doesn't like him." Gu Changfeng didn't agree with his pity.Both of them are in Qingzhou, if this person is interested in Su Qingze, he would have already taken action, why wait until now?Isn't it because Su Qingze lost weight that he was moved?

It can be seen that what this person likes is not Su Qingze himself, but his beautiful appearance.

"No no..." Shen Yanbei said in a low voice, "I don't feel sorry for Zhang Cheng, I feel sorry for Qing Ze."

"He had many choices, but now..."

The unfinished words are all in the secretive eyes.

On the ninth day of February, the exciting examination finally kicked off, and candidates from all over the country gathered in front of the Gongyuan in Kyoto.

The process of the general examination is similar to that of the rural examination, except that the entry and exit checks are stricter, and the environment of the examination room is much better than that of the local tribute courtyard. At least the hut is located on the other side of the tribute courtyard, so candidates don't have to endure the tormenting smell.

No food is provided in the examination room, only lighting and charcoal stoves are provided to keep warm.Candidates can boil water and cook by themselves.

This nationwide examination has a strong lineup. In addition to strict military guards, the number of invigilators has increased and the weight has increased. There are also important court officials to preside over the examination. The examiners are the cabinet scholar Mr. Zhang Youzheng and the Minister of Rites Zhou Mr. Zhou.

With the experience of the previous exam, Shen Yanbei quietly lined up for people to be searched, got a number plate, and then found his number room with ease and opened the barrier to go in.

The general examination is still divided into three exams, each exam is held one day apart, on the ninth day of February, the [-]th day of February, and the seventeenth day of February.

The content of the general examination is slightly deeper than that of the township examination, and at the end there is a big question - how to view the border wars, should we negotiate peace with the barbarians?why?

Because Gu Changfeng's father died after chasing the enemy deep into the grassland, Shen Yanbei did some research on the barbarians.Furthermore, he has been in contact with the emperor and has a general understanding of the emperor's character. He is very sure that this question is probably the most fierce controversy in the court. .

Shen Yanbei felt like he was cheating.Knowing the 5000-year history of China, he can rationally analyze the pros and cons of war, and guessing the emperor's meaning from the emperor's character and behavior can make him sure that the emperor is mostly inclined to war.

The words that the emperor said to Gu Changfeng that night were vaguely persuading Gu Changfeng to follow the path arranged by Duke Zhen.

...Maybe the emperor just lacked a reason to convince everyone.

The so-called soldiers and horses have not moved, food and grass first.

The fact that he has a way to increase the grain production has attracted Li Zhiyuan's attention, and even the emperor's attention.The emperor was so nervous about farming, and after confirming that his method of increasing production was effective, he immediately ordered Li Zhiyuan to vigorously promote it...

The emperor's move was most likely preparing food and grass.

Shen Yanbei picked up his pen and ink, and decided to send this reason up.

main battle.

Those who commit crimes against Qi will be punished even if they are far away!

Time passed while he was writing vigorously, and when Shen Yanbei finished writing the last stroke, he felt a sore wrist.

Looking at the profuse articles on the paper, Shen Yanbei heaved a sigh of relief, checked it twice, and after confirming that it was correct, Shen Yanbei got up, twisted his neck, moved his stiff shoulders, and went to hand in the paper.

Surrounded by candidates who were busy answering the questions, none of them handed in the papers in advance.

Shen Yanbei handed in the paper with a calm expression, Master Zhou stroked his beard and frowned slightly: "All the answers?"

"Yes."

"There's still time, why are you in such a hurry?" Lord Zhou didn't even read his paper, but said with a straight face, "Young people must hold their breath."

Shen Yanbei just smiled.He wrote everything that needed to be written and checked that it was correct. Although the first one to hand in the paper in advance was very flamboyant, but sitting in such a narrow space and letting Gu Changfeng wait outside, it would be better to go out in advance to get some fresh air.

"Who handed in the paper?" Zhang Youzheng walked over from the opposite side, glanced at Shen Yanbei, and then picked up the paper.

The next moment, Zhang Youzheng's face changed suddenly, and his eyes were fixed on the paper.

Shen Yanbei bowed to the two of them, and walked out lightly.

Zhang You was watching and shouted:

"wonderful!"

"It's wonderful!"

When he regained his senses and went to look for someone, he only saw the handsome figure of the young man going away.

Many people outside the tribute courtyard were nervously staring at the gate, when they suddenly saw a gentle young man walking out slowly, they couldn't help but look sideways.

"Hey, it's not time yet, why did this person come out early? Did he fail the exam?"

"Judging from his calm expression, how can he look like he failed a test?"

"I guess I gave up..."

Shen Yanbei stood at the entrance of the Gongyuan, narrowed his eyes slightly, and looked up into the distance.The place I looked at was blue with white clouds.

Winter goes to spring, everything returns to spring, the weather is getting warmer and the sun is much brighter.

When the temperature rises a bit, his pepper seeds can be sown.

But before that, he had to buy some land first!

I also want to buy a house and do some business...

"Yanbei!"

Gu Changfeng and Zhou Yu squeezed out from the crowd and looked at him with concern: "What happened? Why did you come out early?"

"I miss you." Shen Yanbei whispered in his ear, after finishing speaking, he opened his hands, "The exam is over, let's go home!"
