After crying, Xiao Mingcheng sat beside Mrs. Yang, and gave the gifts he specially prepared when he came to the door this time to everyone.

When Xiao Mingcheng came to the door, he was carrying a big package, which was quite heavy. Although he knew it was a door-to-door gift, Mrs. Yang and the He Lan family didn't expect it to be such an expensive gift.

What Xiao Mingcheng gave Mrs. Yang was a red sandalwood walking stick, exquisitely crafted and priceless.The presents given to Wushun and He Lan Minyue were jade bracelets, one white and one emerald, both of which were extraordinary.As for He Lanminzhi, what Xiao Mingcheng prepared was a dagger, which could cut hair and cut hair like mud.

When the value arrives, so does the mind.

After all, Mrs. Yang failed to keep Xiao Mingcheng for dinner as she wished. She said that before, mainly to wait for Wu Shun and He Lan Minyue to return home, and then play such a play with Xiao Mingcheng.Even though she was as close as mother and daughter, Mrs. Yang was not going to tell Wu Shun about the collusion with Xiao Mingcheng.

He Lanminzhi shouldered the expectations of his family and went out to send Xiao Mingcheng away.

Xiao Mingcheng led the horse, and the two of them walked along the side of the street. Pedestrians hurried past, and vendors on both sides shouted endlessly.

He Lanmin moved his hands, he gave Xiao Mingcheng a sideways glance, and said, "After talking for a long time, you didn't even say which family you belonged to."

Grandmother obviously knew about it, mother wanted to ask several times but was stopped by grandma, and she didn't know how complicated his cousin Mingcheng's family was, so he was still vague on this point.

"Alas..." Xiao Mingcheng sighed lightly, and said, "There are many people in the family, and there are many troubles."

He Lanminzhi didn't know what to think of, and also sighed.

"Okay, don't talk about me." Xiao Mingcheng stood still, looked at He Lan Minzhi seriously, and said, "Minzhi, with your talent and learning, the possibility of not being the first in the spring is too low. But I still have to ask." Paused For a moment, "Do you really want to join the military?"

He Lan Minzhi looked at Xiao Mingcheng who was close at hand, her heart skipped a beat, and said, "What do you mean?"

Xiao Mingcheng pursed his lips slightly, he now has a gradually forming idea that is ready to seduce him, and He Lanmin can be one of them.To be honest, whether it was Li Hong's first life or his second life in Ten Thousand Flowers Valley, even though Xiao Mingcheng's martial arts became more and more advanced, he never thought that in fact, there was a kind of blood in his bones that would be inspired by the flames of war. .

He has always felt that he is the gentle and elegant gentleman.

"You have to think about it first." Xiao Mingcheng emphasized, "Going to the battlefield is not just playing tricks, it's fatal."

He Lanmin opened his mouth, he seemed to want to say something, but Xiao Mingcheng cut off the conversation directly, and continued: "April, if you still want to join the army in mid-April, I will help you, you and me together. "

"You?" He Lanminzhi finally spoke. He glanced up and down at Xiao Mingcheng. He hadn't even been crowned yet, so he dared to bring it up on the battlefield?Just as he was about to say something against Xiao Mingcheng, He Lanminzhi suddenly remembered that his martial arts skills were not as good as Xiao Mingcheng's, so he silently closed his mouth, but he still snorted stubbornly.

Xiao Mingcheng hooked the corners of his lips, got on his horse, and said, "Okay, Mr. Min, there's no need to send it off, I'm going back."

With that said, Xiao Mingcheng waved his hands, and rode off on his own.Only He Lan Minzhi stood where he was. He looked at Xiao Mingcheng's retreating back, and muttered "Who will see you off" in a low voice, but slowly raised his eyebrows and eyes.

In any case, some people did not blindly deny his choice, but stood in the same camp as him.Although what he said was a bit irritating, He Lanmin was actually quite happy.

Wen'an-Bangwu Dingguo, there is actually no distinction between civil and military, it's just that he has been confined to study in an academy since he was a child, no matter how sensible he is, He Lanminzhi will inevitably have a little desire to fight on the battlefield.

Especially when I heard that barbarians were infested on the border, the Western Regions were unstable, and there was no one in Tubo and Qiuci; Most of the literati He Lanmin saw were those who talked on paper and boasted.He seems to know everything, but he actually knows how to speak.Seeing him a lot, He Lanmin disdained to be with him.

Not to mention the ignorance of literati, He Lanmin felt that the little tricks some literati used to eliminate dissidents were really inferior.

Maybe when he really goes to the battlefield, he will feel like Ye Gong loves dragons, but now, even once, he really doesn't want to regret it for the rest of his life.

On the second day when the list was released, He Lanminzhi was indeed selected as a Jinshi, and his ranking was not low.

According to the conventional procedure, as long as you pass the selection test of the Ministry of Officials—good-looking, well-spoken, fair calligraphy, and able to review official documents—the Xinke Jinshi can get a half-job. From here on.

Especially now that the high-ranking officials in the DPRK have been fired by the emperor, those who are dismissed from office, and those who are exiled are exiled.

It has been decades since the imperial examinations were implemented, but several literati habits have spontaneously formed among the new imperial examinations.For example, after the spring, they gathered funds to hold a feast of exploring flowers in the apricot garden, rode horses through the famous gardens of Chang'an, visited the Temple of Mercy after the banquet, and wrote poems under the Big Wild Goose Pagoda as a souvenir.

But this year is different!

At the same time as the list of Jinshi subjects was released this year, a major event was also announced-the palace examination.

The top [-] Shinke Scholars will enter the Taiji Palace on the first day of April to have an audience, and the current Holy Admiral will personally test them in front of the palace.Now of the [-] Jinshi admitted by the Jinshi Division, the last [-] will be given the same Jinshi background, and the top [-] will be given Jinshi background.

In the palace examination, the top three are selected as Jinshi and ranked, the first is named the number one scholar, the second is the second place, and the third is Tanhua.

Everyone was in an uproar.

It is a great fortune and blessing to see the sky.It is a great honor for the Holy One to personally test people.If you can use this to leave a little impression on the Holy Majesty, your official career will be limitless in the future.

Just when a group of Jinshi were ecstatic about the news of the palace examination, in the Ganlu Palace, Li Zhi looked at Xiao Mingcheng who was writing and quickly reviewing the memorial, and said, "Hong'er, are you sure?"

Xiao Mingcheng stopped writing, and said: "Of course I'm sure." Xiao Mingcheng's expression was serious, and he said every word, "Mother is the queen, and Zeyin's relatives are the usual practice. But when a man is alive, he should make contributions and earn a future for his wife and children. This uncle is a good boy, if you want to be promoted and honored, you should work hard."

"My grandfather followed the great-grandfather in the rebellion and risked his life to earn the title of Duke. When he came to uncle's place, he was awarded the title by his mother. Wouldn't it be a failure?"

Xiao Mingcheng spoke eloquently and spoke with confidence.

Li Zhi remembered that when he was sent to enter the genealogy for Mei Niang's new name, his subordinates reported back to Wu Yuanqing and Wu Yuanshuang's behavior, and he was a little disgusted.

Fortunately, Hong'er's mother clan didn't have any talented people.Mei Niang's sister Wu Shun has a son, He Lan Minzhi. He Lan Minzhi's name is impressively listed in the roster of Jinshi admitted this year, and he will also participate in the palace examination this time.

The admission rankings of Jinshi were carefully reviewed and deliberated by the examiners headed by officials from the Ministry of Rites, and finally decided. Before getting the roster, Li Zhi himself didn't know what names would be in it.The relationship between Hong'er and He Lan's family is not yet known to outsiders, and He Lanminzhi is just an ordinary family member whose family has fallen in the eyes of outsiders. Being listed on the roster shows that he has real talents and real learning.

When waiting for the palace examination, he tried people himself.If this He Lanminzhi's talent is good, it's not a bad idea to give him the position of champion.Hong'er doesn't like people who are close to him to take shortcuts to reach the sky, but if this person has the ability to reach the sky, it doesn't count if he just sends him a blue cloud...

"Aye." Xiao Mingcheng closed the memorial on the case with a snap, looked at Li Zhi with a pair of phoenix eyes very seriously, and said, "I know He Lanminzhi's talents well, although he is excellent, but he is not among the champions." He is so talented. He has always been stubborn, and he will not take what is not his."

Li Zhi was stunned for a moment, and then realized that he had accidentally muttered aloud just now, he was a little embarrassed, and said: "I approve your memorial, Aye knows a lot about it."

That's what he said, but Li Zhi put aside the matter of closing his eyes and ordering He Lanmin's No. [-] scholar.If the son disagrees, forget it.

Although the son doesn't want him to favor the males of his mother's clan, he is still too young, and some superficial skills still have to be done.

Meiniang's mother, elder sister, and younger sister who have been dead for many years can be granted the title of imperial wife, and should be added to the title of Duke and warrior.As for Mei Niang's two brothers, it's better to give them a little bit of the last title, but the real power must be fully swayed.

So happy to decide.

Just do what you say, after Xiao Mingcheng quickly finished approving the memorial, Li Zhi "mercilessly" drove Xiao Mingcheng out of the Ganlu Palace, and ordered Shangguanyi to enter the palace.

There are a lot of edicts that need to be written. Although it is not urgent, it is still necessary to let Shangguanyi prepare the draft in advance.

Xiao Mingcheng, who had been used and thrown away, shrugged his shoulders, and was about to return to Linzhao Hall, but after another thought, he would try to release the rankings, and He Lanmin was in a good time.

Now that he is a Jinshi who has been confirmed for the imperial examination, I don't know if He Lanminzhi's idea of ​​joining the army has changed, so it's better to have nothing to do now, such as going out of the palace to see him.

Xiao Mingcheng is also a man of action. Before Shangguanyi, who was ordered by Li Zhi, entered the palace, Xiao Mingcheng took a jar of imperial wine, left the palace calmly, and rode towards the Yang family garden in Yonghefang.

In the Bieyuan of Yang Mansion, He Lanmin, who had obtained the qualification to see Tianyan this time, was congratulated by the clansmen sent by the patriarch of Hongnong Yang in Chang'an. From time to time, people would come to congratulate him. .

In normal times, spending so much money would still be a bit painful.But today Wushun was happy, and he was very forthright when giving money.

After He Lan Minzhi met the people sent by the Hongnong Yang family, he hid himself. He heard too many compliments, and he felt goose bumps on his arms.Those kind of flattering words, they didn't feel anything when they said it, but He Lanmin felt his teeth hurt after hearing it.

Simply half a month later there will be a palace examination, and this palace examination is no less important than the three Chunwei exams. He Lanminzhi used the papers to prepare for the exam as an excuse to hand over the reward to his mother, while he hid in the backyard of the Yang Mansion Bieyuan .

He Lan Minyue is not at home at the moment, He Lanmin's high school, He Lan Minyue is happy, so he took people to Ci'en Temple to fulfill his wish, but he has not returned home from Ci'en Temple yet.

Compared with the bustle of the front yard, the back yard is clean, but the sound of congratulations and firecrackers can be heard in the front yard from a distance.

Getting to the top is like a fish leaping through the dragon's gate, even if it is only a small official of the eighth-ninth rank at the beginning, it is still enviable.

He Lanmin was in a daze, the top [-] Jinshi entered the Taiji Palace for the examination, and the last [-] Jinshi continued to participate in the selection examination of the Ministry of Officials, and if they wanted to come to the palace for the examination, they would be directly awarded officials.If he got an official position, how should he join the army?If one is not done well, it is the crime of implicating the family. Although He Lan Minzhi wants to realize his dream, he wants his mother and Min Yue to live well.

Just when He Lanmin was hesitating, he heard a voice lazily saying, "I'm supposed to be the gentleman of the He family, but I'm hiding here for a while on a good day."

He Lanmin was taken aback for a moment, then suddenly turned around to look.He didn't even notice it himself, but at this moment his eyes were bright and full of joy.

However, when He Lanmin saw this, he was surprised at first, and then helpless.

On the high wall in the backyard of the Yang Mansion, the noble young master in purple clothes and jade belt was sitting leaning on the top of the wall, with one leg hanging down and the other bent up.He held a wine jar in one hand, shook it, and said: "Mr. Min, congratulations to high school, let's have a drink to celebrate."

He Lan Minzhi couldn't help laughing, he brushed off his sleeves, and said, "What are you waiting for, Mr. Mingsheng?"

Xiao Mingcheng hooked the corners of his lips, jumped off the high wall, and landed lightly.He put the wine jar in his hand on the stone table in the backyard, and said in his mouth: "Come, Mr. Minzhi, drink a cup of champion red, I wish you a success in front of the palace."

He Lanminzhi slapped the mud on the wine jar away, and a strong aroma of wine escaped.He couldn't help taking a deep breath, then rolled Xiao Mingcheng's eyes, and said: "Try to talk nonsense, and return the number one prize, are you bullying me for not drinking good wine?" He Lanmin licked the corner of his lips, looking greedy , said: "This is a wine bar."

The so-called No. [-] Scholar Red, no matter how many names are mentioned, is just Huadiao wine for the son of the family in Shaoxing to entertain guests when they get married.As for wine, since Emperor Taizong changed the ancient method and personally brewed fine wine to entertain the officials, the status of wine has jumped to the top of all wines, and it has been sought after by the nobles of Chang'an.

Xiao Mingcheng smiled, and then took out two delicate dark green cups from his cuffs.The cup is as thin as paper, and the jade color is translucent, it is clearly carved from fine jade.

He Lanminzhi picked up a wine glass, looked at it carefully, and said firmly: "The luminous glass carved from jade in Qilian Mountains. Besides the luminous glass of fine grape wine, Mr. Ming Sheng will enjoy it." He Lan Minzhi raised his head and looked into the distance Glancing at the red sun in the sky, he shook his head and said, "It's a pity that the time is not right."

One of the characteristics of the luminous cup is that the wine is in the cup. If there is a bright moonlight, the cup body will be shining and beautiful.

"Okay, Mr. Min, the elegant man, ordinary Xiao Mingcheng is waiting to drink." Xiao Mingcheng waved his hand. As a human being in the third life, he takes some things very seriously, especially in the last days of the second life, when he was with soldiers and civilians in Suiyang City Mixed together, not to mention the royal demeanor, even the elegant demeanor of thousands of flowers was completely thrown away by him.Now, in front of people close to him, he finds it troublesome to even put on an appearance.

He Lan Minzhi curled her lips, but her eyes couldn't help but curl up.After pouring the wine, the two sat on the stone bench, chatting one after another, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.

"Sure enough, good wine."

Until...the sound of carriage wheels came from outside the backyard of the Yang Mansion, and the voices of He Lan Minyue and a strange man.

The half-drunk He Lanmin straightened up suddenly, and the peach blossom eyes that opened suddenly were cold and stern.

Where did Deng Tuzi come from, they all picked up at the back door of the Yang Mansion!

Xiao Mingcheng silently took a sip of his wine and watched from the sidelines.

Outside the back door of Yang Mansion's Bieyuan, He Lan Minyue got out of the carriage with the help of her maid.Twenty-nine, the young and beautiful woman raised her eyes to the tall man standing in front of her, her face was full of clouds, but she said generously: "Please trouble me to see you all the way, my daughter is very grateful."

"It's just a little effort, Mrs. Helan doesn't need to be too polite." The man's voice was slightly shy, and he seemed a little embarrassed.

In the backyard of the Yang Mansion, Xiao Mingcheng raised his eyebrows suddenly, and a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes.

This voice is...

The conversation between He Lan Minyue outside the door and the strange man couldn't be more formal. Xiao Mingcheng felt a little embarrassed when he heard it, and somehow felt that they were looking for something to say.But He Lan Minzhi on the side, his face was so heavy that he couldn't sink any more. This beautiful face, a rare handsome man in the world, was already as dark as the bottom of a pot at this moment. It seemed that if the man who was trying his best to talk to He Lan Minyue appeared in the In front of him, He Lanminzhi could punch him.

Xiao Mingcheng, who had already heard the identity of the man outside the door, looked up at the sky, feeling a little complicated.

The conversation had reached the point where it was impossible to find a topic, the man and He Lan Minyue looked at each other for a while, and after a while, the man turned his head, his ears were red, and said in a low voice, "Miss He Lan, I... He is very talented and knowledgeable, if, if he wants to come to ask for advice, I don’t know..."

The author has something to say: #818Spicy Speechless He Lanminzhi#

He Lanminzhi: Who was the one who mocked and despised my general heart before!

Xiao Mingcheng: It seems to be me.

He Lanminzhi: Then why have you changed your mind now?

He Lanminzhi: ... Bah.
