The official road of the farmer

The front door of Ye's house was opened wide, welcoming wave after wave of heralds, firecrackers sounded all over the floor, and wave after wave of happy money was sprinkled.

Uncle Tian rushed over at the first time and sent a big gift to congratulate.

Being on the examination list, Ye Junshu is now a tribute, one step closer to his goal.

With his current ranking, Jinshi is a sure thing, just need to finalize the ranking, and if there is no accident, he is expected to be in the top two.Ye Junshu couldn't control his joy, he was only one palace test away, and he officially stepped into the official career.

Not to mention other things, at least after the imperial examination, he was freed from the bitterness of the scientific examination and no longer needed to take the scientific examination. Every time he took part, he had to bear the pressure that ordinary people could not bear. It went very well.

Those admitted in the palace examination are called Jinshi, and the Jinshi is divided into three top grades. The first three people are called the number one scholar, the second best, and the second flower, and they are awarded Jinshi and the second; The top three No. 1 are all called Chuanlu.

After the Chuanlu Hall, new Jinshi still need to take the imperial examination. The atmosphere of the imperial examination papers is third, and the first class No.1 is called Chaoyuan.

Among the Jinshi, there are one and three people, and they will be appointed immediately after the palace examination. The number one scholar will be awarded to the Hanlin Academy for editing and writing, and the second place and Tanhua will be awarded to the Hanlin Academy for editing and writing; , Pedestrians, judges, doctors, officials, prefects, and counties.

The official messenger who came to announce the good news also personally notified the time of the palace examination, which was seven days later.

Because it was close to the time of the palace examination, they did not celebrate in a big way, and only celebrated privately as a family.

In the evening of the same day, Ye Junshu was handed the list of the candidates for gongshi in the general examination, and he read it carefully.

No.1 and No.2 are impressively bearing Yu Maolin and his name. In addition, the students from Yongzhou College have also passed the exam, which will undoubtedly add another stroke to the glorious history of Yongzhou College and further promote the reputation of Yongzhou College. title.

Presumably after this imperial examination, more people went to Yongzhou to study.

Ye Junshu felt that this year's political achievements of the prefect of Yongzhou could add a lot.

During his tenure, there were so many new Jinshi, which also proved that the magistrate has good governance.

There are still a few days until the palace examination, Ye Junshu simply didn't go out, he didn't want to go to any party, and he also declined the people who came to visit these days, and only studied at home.

He didn't want to miss the door, but something went wrong.

No matter when, it is best to be careful, there are too many accidents when you go out.

Ye Junshu was reading in the study, playing with the Duanyan inkstone that he had to look at from time to time, his thoughts drifted away.

Ah Yu should already know that he passed the exam, right?

He should pay attention to himself, right?

It's a pity that he wants to avoid suspicion, otherwise they will be able to meet.

They haven't seen each other for a long time...

When he becomes an official, there will be more chances to meet him, right?He can also understand the world Ah Yu lives in.

Ye Junshu propped his chin and squinted his eyes happily, thinking that he is one step closer to Ah Yu!

He thought about the future, couldn't help laughing, and then felt that his behavior was a little silly, he coughed lightly, and continued to read the book in a serious manner.

Just looking at it, I still can't see it.

Ye Junshu continued to diverge his thoughts and began to think about the children at home.

Years ago, because he hadn't settled down completely, and because he spent more energy on preparing for the exam, the children's education issues were delayed again and again.

When he is admitted to Jinshi, Xiaoshan and Chenghe's admission will be put on the agenda. The martial arts academy in Shangjing should be more outstanding, and he will have to find out how to send the child there.

And the twins, who are seven years old this year, should be formally enlightened.

Although Ye Junshu has taught them to read since they were three years old, and they have already memorized the basic knowledge of "Thousand Characters", "Hundred Surnames", and "San Zi Jing", but these are not enough. Ye Junshu is not an official teacher after all, they should go to school It's better to go.

But colleges generally don't recruit brothers, so they can only enter for a small reason.

As for Brother Jing, he will see if he wants to hire a teacher to teach at home.

It's not a problem for Brother Qin to run behind Brother Lu all day long, so he will also let Brother Qin attend class together.

Ye Junshu thought about the arrangements for the children in the family for the next few years before continuing to read books in a down-to-earth manner.

And Li Yu, who was missed by Ye Junshu, was in the palace at this time, accompanying the queen.

Empress Li Zhe also came from a family of military generals. She is Li Yu's younger uncle. Before entering the palace, he was also a heroic brother. On the outside, it is a dignified and noble style.

At this time, Empress Li held sheets of rice paper full of handwriting in her hand, and said to Li Yu: "Brother Yu, these are the information I collected on young talents who are unmarried in this imperial examination. Take a look." Is there anything you like?"

Li Yu grew up beside Empress Li, and because of his blood relationship, he couldn't be cold-hearted towards him. He said helplessly, "Your Majesty, you don't have to worry about it, I don't intend to make a contract to go out."

Empress Li disapproved on her face, "Nonsense, how can you not make a bond? You have been delayed for so many years because of the Li family. If you can't let you make a bond with a father who suits your wishes, in the future, I still have Why face to meet your father, Mu and the ancestors of the Li family?"

As she said that, Empress Li's brows turned gray: "It's my fault. If I could be favored, our Li family wouldn't have this ending."

Oftentimes, Empress Li couldn't help but wonder what the Li family did wrong. Over the past ten years, his relatives had died or been injured. Up to now, only two brothers remained in the direct line.

Their Li family has guarded the territory for Daxia for generations, and they are loyal.Why did it end up like this?If he died in battle on the frontier, he would have nothing to say, but according to many clues, his brother and nephew all died of conspiracy.

It's a pity that those people were buried too deep. After so many years of investigation, they only found some clues, but they couldn't find out the people behind the scenes.

How could Empress Li not complain, if he could gain power, he would at least be able to help his elder brother, instead of holding back again and again, making his elder brother worry about him even if he was far away in the border.

Empress Li asked herself repeatedly for countless days and nights, if he did it again, would he still choose to enter the palace.

In fact, he knew in his heart that he had already regretted it.

Even if he had some affection for the emperor, it has been worn away in the past few decades in the harem.

So from the year his elder brother died, he no longer expected to compete for favor, but erected a sharp high wall to protect those he cared about layer by layer.

It's a pity that with his little power, he still couldn't protect his nephews far away in the frontier. Seeing his only two nephews come back with one disabled and the other disfigured, no matter how strong Empress Li felt, the sky was falling.

But he can't fall down, if he falls down, then the Li family will really be doomed!

Seeing that Empress Li fell into self-blame again, Li Yu stretched out his hand to hold his cold hand, and comforted him: "Mother, don't be sad, guarding the territory is the mission of the Li family, even if you die, you will have no regrets."

What their Li family guarded was the people of Daxia, the territory of Daxia, and his father and second brother died in battle. He was also very sad, but this was their choice.

He believes that even the eldest brother will not regret sacrificing a pair of legs in exchange for victory.

Queen Li's mood recovered quickly, he blinked to remove the water in his eyes, "Look at me, I'm getting older, I can't help but think about the past." Before Li Yu could comfort him, he took Li Yu's hand and said , "Your elder brother is asking me to ask you to choose someone to form a bond with this year, even if the bond is not formed immediately, you can make an appointment first."

Li Yu's marriage was rough to say the least. When he was old, the emperor just wanted to marry him when his father and second elder brother passed away. After three years of filial piety, the emperor thought about marrying him again. He just went there At the border, Li Yu was disfigured when he came back, and the marriage could not be settled.

The emperor originally referred to the eldest grandson of Prince Kang. The title of Prince Kang is hereditary. Once Li Yu concludes the contract, he will be the prince and concubine in the future.

The emperor also had some affection for Li Yu, whom he had seen growing up since he was a child, so he wanted to point out a noble son for him, but unfortunately his good intentions were let down.

As soon as the news got out, the old Princess Kang went to the harem to cry and make trouble, obviously not letting the emperor make an order, and Xiao Shizi even let it go, he would not make a contract with a disfigured brother, causing the emperor to be in trouble for a while. no face.

But the old Prince Kang and the old concubine are his uncles and aunts, and he still didn't point out the marriage in the end. In this way, the emperor felt even more guilty towards Li Yu, so as long as Li Yu said that he was willing to make a contract with whom, the emperor Without further ado, he would definitely point to marriage immediately.

Therefore, the young talents of the Manchu Dynasty can be said to be selected by Li Yu.

However, as members of the Li family, they are not so humble that others look down on you and still beg for nothing. The most important thing that can make the Li family agree is not to despise Li Yu.

But this does not prevent Queen Li from giving Li Yu an early look.

Queen Li picked up a piece of paper on the top layer, which recorded the family information, personality and so on of eligible young people.

"These are young people who have excelled in the general examination, and they must have achieved good results in the palace examination. Brother Yu, look at this, it is No. 1 in the general examination. Yu Maolin is the second son of a large noble family in Yongzhou. Qi, twenty-one years old, about the same age as you, what do you think?"

As he said that, before Li Yu could respond, he vetoed himself: "This is not acceptable. According to the investigation, he has a fiancé who is married with his fingertips. I heard that he is going to wait for his fiancé to get married. If you make a contract, forget it."

Queen Li put down the piece of paper in her hand and picked up the second one. These papers are sorted according to the ranking of the examination, so the second one is—"Look at this, Ye Junshu."

Hearing the familiar name, Li Yu's eyes moved, as if surprised.

"I was born in a poor family, both parents died, and there are five younger brothers in the family. They are nineteen years old and have not yet formed a bond... They are three years younger than you, but the gap is not that big. The second result in the general examination shows that you still have some talent, brother Yu, what do you think?"

The author has something to say: Empress: What do you think of Ye Junshu?Can I marry?

Li Yu: That's just a child.

Ye Junshu: No, I am not young anymore!I can prove it to you!

Li Yu: How to prove it?

Ye Junshu: As long as you marry me, you will immediately prove that I am not young!
