Quick Wear: Transform Your Life

Chapter 330
The palace examination finally came, and [-] gongshi who were on the list participated.

Enter the palace at dawn, and then go through the etiquette of roll call, unrolling, praise, salute, etc., and then enter the Palace of Preservation from front to back according to the results of the provincial examination.

Lan Xi was able to enter the hall for the exam because her ranking was relatively high, but most of them sat outside the hall.

Everyone lowered their heads as if concentrating on reading the test paper, and there were many ministers as examiners beside them, so Lan Xi glanced lightly at the people in the high seat.

Although he is over forty years old, he looks extremely majestic, especially his eyes are so bright that most people dare not look at him.

He was dressed in a bright yellow dragon robe, embroidered with a five-clawed golden dragon. Although he still had a smile on his face, his aura was not diminished by half.

Sure enough, during the palace exam, he took a question about agriculture.

"The food is the root of the people's survival, the world is in chaos, and the country's prosperity is the root of survival."

Write a policy essay on this.

Lan Xi thought about it carefully. Although the Wei Dynasty emphasized agriculture and suppressed business, the suppression of merchants was not strong. Some merchants could get places in the imperial examination through donations.

However, the development of agriculture is not satisfactory. Lan Xi first explained that agriculture is the foundation of a country.

Then I wrote that although some people have land in some areas, the grain production is not satisfactory, although it has improved compared to before.

Then, starting from the planting process and improving production tools, plus a little suggestion of my own, this policy is almost the same.

In the end, of course, it is inevitable to praise the great achievements of the imperial court, so that more people can have enough food and clothing.

The palace examination didn't end until the sun outside was silent, and it was stained with a trace of darkness.

Lan Xi followed the people out of the palace gate, then got into the waiting carriage and returned to the inn.

April 25th was the Grand Ceremony of Chuanlu. Lan Xi and his tributes were dressed in official uniforms and stood behind all the civil and military officials according to their previous rankings, waiting for the results to be announced.

Lan Xi could only see the dark crowd in front of her, they were the civil and military officials of the last dynasty, and the emperor hadn't appeared yet.

When the crowd was almost there, Lan Xi barely heard a shrill voice, "The emperor is here!"

Then the civil and military officials saluted, and then the Honglu temple officials began to sing and read.

"On April 36th, the 25th year of the Great Wei Dynasty, a test was launched for the tribute scholars in the world. The first class was awarded Jinshi and rank, the second class was awarded a Jinshi background, and the third class was awarded a same Jinshi background."

"Yijia No.1 Cheng Zhonglu."

Then there was a person in front of the shift kneeling on the left.

"Yijia No.2 Geng Qi."

"No.3 Li Jingrong in Yijia." Afterwards, two more people came out of the class and knelt down.

After the three of them thanked each other, they began to sing in the second class.

"Second A No. 1 Sun Dinghong."

……

"No. 7 Chang Wenxuan."

……

"Fang Yanming, No. 20 and eighth in the second class."

……

Wait until the top two people have finished reading, and then start the top three people to sing and read.

This year, a total of 200 people are on the list, among which three are in the first place, 72 are in the second place, and the rest are naturally the top three.

After everyone thanked Cheng Zhonglu, the number one scholar, they began to parade through the streets on horseback.

Naturally, the number one scholar took the lead, and the people behind followed him. They left the palace and turned to South Street and West Market.

Especially the inns and restaurants in the West Market were full of people, some of them were ladies, standing in front of the window on the second floor, if they saw someone they liked, they would throw out the handkerchiefs and sachets in their hands.

Especially Tan Hualang, who was handsome and unrestrained, naturally received more care, and even Lan Xi was thrown a few sachets.

In this way, the vigorous parade is over.

The next step is to face a choice, the first three can naturally enter the Hanlin, and the second-tier if they want to enter the Hanlin, they need to go through an exam.

Of course, you can also enter the six parts or put it outside.

The three of Lan Xi sat together and discussed that both Sun Dinghong and Fang Yanming were going to take the Hanlin examination, while Lan Xi chose to enter the six-part experience.

As for the popular departments such as the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Ministry of Officials, there is no need to think about it. If you think about it, you know that he is a farmer with no background and has no bright future at all.

So Lan Xi chose to enter the Ministry of Industry, which is not a very popular department. After going through an exam, Lan Xi was finally selected as the head of the Tuntian Department of the Ministry of Industry, from the position of the eighth rank.

Of course, this is very different from the position of the No. [-] Scholar in the seventh rank of the Imperial Academy, but Lan Xi is still satisfied.

Sun Dinghong and Fang Yanming also passed the exam as editors of the Imperial Academy, and they are now colleagues in the same department.

However, the rank of officials has been fixed, and the house finally has news.

It is a small courtyard with two entrances in Huaihua Hutong on North Street. Although it is at the end of the alley, the location is not good, and it is even a bit remote, but it is still quiet.

Lan Xi finally spent 500 taels to buy it. The money, at least in Changjia Village, can build ten second-entry yards, and it is even wider than this.

Chang Erhai glanced at it, and said it was very good, and praised Lan Xi for his good eyesight.

The Ministry of Industry is not too busy now, and Lan Xi is a student of Jinke, so he was given a three-month vacation so that Lan Xi can have time to deal with her own affairs.

Just taking advantage of this time, Liu Cuie, Chang Wenwu and Chang Linger were picked up.

Now it was May, and it happened to be possible to go back by water. Speaking of going home, Chang Erhai was obviously happier and was already busy packing his things.

Lan Xi looked at Chang Erhai's big and small bags, and couldn't help laughing, "Father, we will all settle down in the capital in the future, there is no need to take some things back, so as to save the burden."

Chang Erhai patted his head suddenly, "That's right, I was so busy that I forgot, I'm going to live in the capital from now on, I'm really not used to it."

Then she reduced half of her luggage, and hurriedly urged Lan Xi to go back.

Speaking of which, it has been half a year since I left home, and I miss my family very much, so the news that I passed the exam must have been sent back.

Lan Xi and Chang Erhai made a boat to Yongchang Mansion, and then drove to Changjia Village by car.

The two returned to Chang's house quietly. It was already dark outside, which alerted the rest of the village.

At this time, the Chang family was sitting and eating together. When they saw the two people who appeared suddenly, they dropped their chopsticks in shock.

Chang Zhongcheng even stood up and grabbed Lan Xi with tears in his eyes.

"Grandpa's eldest grandson, you are back. I miss you so much. You don't know that the official said that you passed the exam and you will be an official. Grandpa was so happy that he didn't fall asleep all night..."

Chang Zhongcheng took Lan Xi's hand and talked incomparably, rambling a lot.

Lan Xi supported Chang Zhongzhong to sit down, and the others looked at Lan Xi with different expressions.

Liu Cuie was naturally proud, and the eyes of the third uncle and the third aunt couldn't help showing some respect. As for the children below, they looked at Lan Xi with admiration.

Then Chang Zhongcheng seemed to come to his senses again, and ordered the kitchen to cook more meals, so the dinner didn't end until very late.

The dinner table was naturally surrounded by Lan Xi, and Lan Xi would explain what she saw in the capital and the scenery along the way to the exam from time to time, making everyone fascinated by hearing it.

Especially when she heard that Lan Xi had confirmed to be an official in the capital, she couldn't help but exclaimed.
