The two of them had not experienced physical training with spiritual spring water, so they were given undiluted spiritual spring water rashly, and their bodies simply could not bear it.

Although he did not pass the Gongshi examination, Shen Ji gained his own love while waiting for the results of the examination. With his efforts, Mr. Liu and Mrs. Liu finally gave up the plan of recruiting a son-in-law for their daughter. They particularly paid attention to Shen Ji, who was very outstanding in all aspects, and hinted that he could express his feelings to his parents as long as the Shen parents had no objections. , you can find a matchmaker to choose an auspicious day to come to propose marriage.

After the results of the general examination came out, Shen Ji did not rush back home. Instead, he wrote a letter to his parents at home explaining everything. After that, he still lived in the rented yard and studied hard, waiting for the Mo and Liu families to get married. Later, he returned home with his parents.

The Liu family and the Shen family have similar family backgrounds. If we look at it carefully, the Shen family initially started as merchants and did not change families until Shen Ji's father passed the examination and became a scholar. However, the Liu family is heirloomed with poetry and calligraphy. The scholarly family is not just fake, so the family status is naturally higher than that of the Shen family. However, Shen Ji was promising, so the difference between the two families was nothing at all.

The two elders of the Shen family, who were worried about their son's lifelong affairs in their hometown, received a letter from Shen Ji and learned that their son valued such a good marriage. They were so happy that they didn't even sleep. In the middle of the night, they ordered people to open the warehouse in a hurry and personally Selecting gifts for visiting the Liu family in Beijing.

Within two days, the two elders came to the capital with a cart full of gifts. After understanding the situation of the Liu family in detail, the two elders were already eighty percent satisfied with the Liu family. They only rested for one night and couldn't wait for the next day. I found a reliable matchmaker and went to Liu's house.

The two elders of the Shen family are both kind-hearted and easy to get along with. They originally thought that the Liu family was a good family and worthy of marriage. When they came to the Mo family and met the generous and polite Liu Tinglan, they couldn't be more satisfied.

Mr. Liu and Mrs. Liu value Shen Ji, and naturally they also value Shen Ji's family. They are very satisfied to see that the two elders are indeed as Shen Ji said, they get along well with each other and are sensible. There is almost no possibility of conflicts between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law in the future, and they are very satisfied.

The two families were satisfied with each other, and immediately agreed on the marriage, exchanged wedding invitations, and just waited for an auspicious day to be chosen before the engagement ceremony. At that time, they would choose a good day at the end of the year and the two families would get married.

Liu Tinglan got her wish. Even though the rumors outside still existed, because the two elders of the Shen family didn't mind, they had no impact on her at all.

Mo Yan was very happy for her friend from the bottom of her heart, but she didn’t have time to visit the Liu family in person because she had arrived for the imperial examination.

This year's palace examination was postponed a few days compared to previous years. The clear date was not set until the fifth day after the results were released, which was the sixth day of May after the Dragon Boat Festival.

There are two rounds of Da Chu's palace examination. The first round is the re-examination, which is held in Baohe Palace. The results will be announced on the second day, and the top 30 will be decided for the second round. The second round is the real palace examination. The king of a country will present the questions in the hall, and thirty tributes will answer the questions on the spot.

 Both rounds of exams are about policy theory. There is no limit to the number of words, but it is usually around 2,000 words. The time limit is one and a half hours. For thirty tribute soldiers who have passed five levels and killed six generals, it is not difficult to write a policy essay within an hour and a half. However, if you want to stand out, in addition to having a strong foundation in skills, you must also figure out the intention of the person who wrote the question. This is It's not easy anymore.

 Policy analysis is usually combined with current affairs. If you do not understand current affairs, you will not be able to produce outstanding policy analysis. Therefore, those who can enter the top thirty and enter the next round of assessment are not just nerds who can only talk on paper.

 The last palace examination is even more crucial, as it affects the future, so the competition in the first round of examinations is particularly fierce.
