After the big fool gets married

After being very drunk, Liu Siyuan woke up the next day and returned to normal.

He seemed to have completely forgotten the nonsense he said the day before, and began to pull Wu Xuan to study together.

Because of the Chinese New Year, Wu Xuan has been a little slack these days, spending every day chatting and roasting sweet potatoes in Doudou's study.

There will be an examination in early February, so he should hurry up and review his books.Wu Xuan took Liu Siyuan to his study, and the two began to prepare for the exam.

Every day at dawn, Liu Siyuan came over with books in his arms, and didn't leave until dark. He also ate a small amount of lunch, and there was no lunch break at all.

Persisting until the seventh day, Wu Xuan felt that he should combine work and rest, and wanted to give himself a day off.As a result, as soon as the hot pot base was cooked, Liu Siyuan came over, "Brother Wenxuan, I have finished a policy in the study silently, only to realize that you haven't arrived yet."

Wu Xuan said, "Let's take a day off today."

"No way. If you don't accumulate steps, you can't reach a thousand miles. If you slack off in a day—"

"Just one day." Wu Xuan said weakly.

It's a pity that for a person who is too big, pretending to be pitiful is not effective.

"Brother Wenxuan, the exam is only one month away, and you need to work hard to be able to win the gold medal." Liu Siyuan looked serious.Most likely Wu Xuan didn't study, so he continued to talk at length to persuade him to the end.

Doudou covered her mouth and giggled.Brother Xuan actually had a day when he was urged to study!Hahaha, brother Xuan always used these words to persuade him back then, but now he is finally persuaded instead.

Wu Xuan couldn't hold back Liu Siyuan, so he obediently went to study.

The days passed day by day in such diligent study.

Liu Siyuan has a solid foundation and is familiar with classics and meanings, which really helped Wu Xuan make up for some shortcomings, and Wu Xuan's novel thinking also benefited Liu Siyuan a lot.

The seal was released at the beginning of the year, and the verdict of Feng Gelao's case came out. The main criminals headed by Feng Gelao were all rewarded with a glass of poisoned wine as their last decency after serving as officials for several years.

The vacant seat in the cabinet was filled by Gu Pu, Minister of the Ministry of officials.The 45-year-old Gu Ge joined the cabinet, which also represented the forces of the reformists, and finally returned to the cabinet.

Apart from Mr. Gu Ge, the other reformist officials who contributed to this incident were more or less rewarded.

For example, Tan Wen, the left servant of the Ministry of Industry, was promoted to Minister of the Ministry of Industry.

In the harem, Empress Feng was deprived of her throne and relegated to the cold palace because she colluded with important court officials and privately spread the secrets of the harem.

Du Gelao's daughter Concubine Du was promoted to Noble Concubine, Tan Shangshu's daughter Tan Bin was promoted to Xian Concubine, and the daughters of several meritorious ministers also rose to their positions along with their father's promotion.

Although it was obvious that Concubine Tan was promoted to three levels in a row, except for the women in the harem, not many people took it seriously.

Because, the test has begun.

On the ninth day of February in the 16th year of Jingyuan, the Jiachen Faculty Examination started.

Elder Yan Ge, who seldom went to court, was handpicked by His Majesty to be the chief examiner.There are also several candidates for the same examination and promotion, all of whom are personally appointed by His Majesty.

Wu Wenshou drove the carriage and sent Wu Xuan and Liu Siyuan outside the examination room. Wu Xuan waved to Doudou in the carriage, "I'll be out in three days. If you're bored these days, you can go to Wenshou's house. Remember to let Wenshou see you off when you go out." you."

"Brother Hall, don't worry!" Wu Wenshou patted his chest, "I promise to help you take good care of Doudou!"

Doudou also waved to him, "Brother Xuan, don't worry about me, take the exam well."

Liu Zhaodi has been pregnant for nearly seven months, and she still walks like flying and moves very neatly.

But Wu Wenshou was reluctant to let her work, and he didn't even let her touch the needle and thread.

Doudou looked at Liu Zhaodi curiously, "How long will the baby be born?"

Liu Zhaodi said: "There will be more than two months."

"When I got home, I learned how to make children's clothes from my auntie. I'll make you whatever you want." Doudou said.

Liu Zhaodi said: "My mother-in-law has already helped a lot, and I will bring it here next month."

"I look better than Aunt Tian." Doudou was very confident.

This is true, Liu Zhaodi no longer refused, but said: "Just make one or two at will, and children can't wear so many."

Doudou nodded, planning to make a blue set and a pink set.

Children's skin is delicate, and it is not suitable to embroider too complicated patterns on clothes. Just choose soft fabrics and embroider a few small patterns with good meanings such as ingots on the outer layer.

Wu Xuan took three exams, and Doudou also made three sets of clothes.

In addition to the two sets for Liu Zhaodi, Doudou also made a green set and quietly put it in the closet.

Although this little suit will never be used, he doesn't regret it, and he won't give Brother Xuan a chance to regret it.

-

On March [-]th, the test results will be released.

The Zhuangyuan building was full of people, and it was full of people early in the morning.

However, Wu Xuan and the others didn't go to Zhuangyuan Building this time, but went directly to the Gong Yuan, intending to read the list immediately.

There were even more people around the Gongyuan, and the carriage could not move two streets away. Wu Wenshou said, "I am guarding the carriage here. Go and see it!"

Wu Xuan helped Doudou out of the carriage.

Tomb-sweeping day has passed, and the weather is getting warmer.Doudou happily jumped on the ground twice. Spring is here, Brother Xuan finally no longer restricts him from going out!

Liu Siyuan said: "Let's go around the small alley in front, so we can save a little walk."

Wu Xuan nodded, and walked forward with a half-circle around Doudou.

Going out of the small alley, you will arrive at the road in front of Gongyuan.Wu Xuan protected Doudou, passed through the carriages, and walked forward cautiously.

The examination list is also called the apricot list, so named because the apricot blossoms were in full bloom when the list was released.

When we arrived at the gate of the Gongyuan, we saw many layers of people around the gate, Wu Xuan took advantage of his height to look at the outer wall, and said, "The list hasn't been posted yet."

As soon as the words were finished, a team of guards came out of the tribute courtyard holding a long wooden box in their hands.

The crowd "hula" surrounded them all at once, but was stopped by the officers and soldiers maintaining order with spears.

The guard went to the left side of the gate and sang loudly: "On March 16th, [-]th year of Jingyuan, the Jiachen Division will try to make a list—"

Several people took out the list written on silk cloth from the wooden box and posted it on the wall.

The officers and soldiers shouted: "Stand back! Don't touch the list! Damage the list, and you will be punished according to the law!"

Fortunately, the guards were quick and quick to paste it.

"Gu Jin! The Huiyuan is Gu Jin!" No matter what time it is, No.1 will always get more attention from everyone.

"Without my name! How could it be, how could it be without me!"

Brother, there are hundreds of people on a list, can you be sure that you are not there just by looking at it?

"Hahaha, my young master has won!" A man dressed as a servant squeezed out excitedly, "Let me out, I want to go back to the house to say the good news!"

Wu Xuan covered Doudou with both hands to prevent him from being hit by others.

There were a lot of people in front of him, Liu Siyuan couldn't squeeze in, and said anxiously: "Brother Wenxuan, is Huiyuan really Gu Jin?"

Wu Xuan raised his head and squinted his eyes, "Yes, No. 1 is Gu Jin, No. 2 Jiangyuan Province... Fu Su, No. 3... Shuntian Mansion, I can't see the one behind."

It was too far away, and Wu Xuan couldn't see clearly, but it was certain that Liu Siyuan was not among the top three.

The light in Liu Siyuan's eyes suddenly dimmed, he smiled wryly, "Sure enough."

Some people in front had already seen their rankings and started to walk out. Wu Xuan took the opportunity to move forward and see more clearly, "Siyuan, you are No.4."

No.3 is Du Gelao’s son——Du Chuanting, followed by Liu Siyuan, Dingshan County, Zhenxing Prefecture, Zhili Province.

Liu Siyuan pulled the corner of his mouth reluctantly, but it was uglier than the wry smile just now, "Brother Wenxuan, hurry up and find your own name."

Wu Xuan took Doudou and walked two steps forward. Just as he was about to check each one from the left, he heard Doudou say: "Brother Xuan, I saw your name, it's a little bit to the left in the middle—"

Wu Xuan looked in the direction Doudou pointed, "No. 90 is nine, it's auspicious!"

"Why is 99 auspicious?" Doudou wondered.

"Ninety-nine means that Doudou and I will be together for a long time, forever." Wu Xuan said nonsense.

Doudou was very happy to hear that, "Yes, Brother Xuan did really well in the exam!"

Liu Siyuan also said: "In the past few subjects, the number of students admitted to the top two classes was around 150. Brother Wenxuan's ranking is firmly in the top two classes."

The first class records only three people, and the second class records more than a hundred people.As for the top three, they are the same Jinshi, and the same Jinshi is not a serious Jinshi, and cannot be directly appointed as an official.

Wu Xuan also breathed a sigh of relief, "It's fine if you can enter the second class." He doesn't care about the ranking, anyway, he will definitely not be able to pass the exam.As long as you can get a Jinshi background, it doesn't make any difference how many places you get in the exam.
