I, my father-in-law, set off a frenzy of public examinations in ancient times

It only took half a day from the release of the rankings to the Qionglin Banquet, and the palace examination was even skipped; the reason for skipping the palace examination was because the emperor wanted all Jinshi of this year to be sent down to the grassroots, so naturally it didn't matter the ranking up.

Not only the students who were in the Qionglin banquet that night were confused, but also the princes and grandchildren of the capital who were eager to try to catch their son-in-law.

Is there still a need to catch a son-in-law under the list? ...

Those who are willing to stay in the capital are considered to be clearly contrary to the emperor's intentions. Can they be reused in the future?First subtracted the impression points in the heart of the emperor;

And those who are willing to go to the backcountry, naturally have ambitions and aspirations, but their own daughter or younger sister can't follow them!Taking a ten thousand step back, if the ability is not worthy of the ambition, wouldn't it be impossible to come back in a lifetime? ...

Everyone's hearts were immediately tangled and twisted. How did the emperor come up with the idea to avoid the problem of cronies and nepotism in the court? ...

Xiaoguan public relations and Jun.

Everyone was in unison with a name popping up from the bottom of their hearts, except for him, I don't want to be him anymore...

This chicken thief and cunning dead eunuch! ——

Just when the Jinshi who chose to stay in Beijing have not recovered from the situation where the sweet pastry has turned into an overnight meal; all officials in Beijing, no matter how high or high, are as big as the cabinet elders, as small as the ninth-rank servants The Sima Factory Committee and Office co-led, all received a "Notice":

Dayong Emperor Han Yinchu

(private printing)
March 29, Kuimao Year

Everyone agreed after reading it: "..."

So you have to go? !He also said in a high-sounding way, "Line up and line up, welcome and welcome"!
But this notice itself is very strange~ Why do you have to go all the way to the outskirts of Beijing to watch the sentence?Can't the noon gate work?Isn't it just to kill someone and bleed? ...

Is it to be buried alive?Or let Jinyiwei or the factory owners of Dongchang use all kinds of perverted methods there? ...

Some officials with a guilty conscience are in panic all day long, thinking that this must be some kind of "killing chickens to scare monkeys" means, and there must be demons when things go wrong! ...

Some people also think that the emperor himself is playing tricks?Anyway, since Guan Yujun entered the palace, the emperor himself has not done a single normal thing, not even the favorite "killing" project in the past. Now it is considered "solid state cute recovery"? ...

And now, getting news from the inner palace is even more difficult than going to heaven:
One is because the servants are not short of money, and the other is because of the lessons learned from "Master Ma", the palace people hope that they, the adults of the previous dynasty, will give them a chance to make meritorious deeds! ...

Who would be foolish enough to hit the gun right now? ——

Forget it, who cares, anyway, they are already "dead pigs are not afraid of boiling water", so let them go! ——

But Xia Risen's mind is different from any of the above.

Because of this place, the more he thinks about it, the more familiar he becomes, isn't it that...

"Brother!——Why are you stunned?!" Xia Xingxiao was preparing to get into the car at the gate of the Duke's Mansion. He saw that Xia Risen didn't move for a while, but the servant who pressed the sedan chair for him seemed to have been waiting for a long time.

"Ah?! Oh... Where are you going to Star School?"

"The 'Jinshi Appointment Opening Ceremony' openly organized by Mr. Guan is teaching. I want to go and see it."

"That?!" Xia Risen looked inexplicable: "Isn't it only the people who go to the local government to 'train'?"

Xia Xingxiao is a noble girl from a famous family, she will definitely not go to the local government; and being a female official in the harem seems to be a bit overqualified.

Now it seems that the queen is really the most suitable position for her.Even everyone in the Xia family felt that it was a blessing in disguise, didn't they? ...

Xia Xingxiao herself didn't think about it that much, she stuck out her tongue at Xia Risen: "I just want to go..." After finishing speaking, she stepped into the carriage and quickly disappeared from his sight.

Alas~ Xia Risen shook his head helplessly, what is all this? !My younger sister is becoming less and less like a boudoir lady, she knows how to run out all day long; on the other hand, she is getting more and more unlucky...

Xia Risen pulled his hair helplessly, Guan Yujun, you are really my enemy for life! ——

Xia Xingxiao handed over the signboard for entering the palace, and first went to greet the queen mother, and found that the queen mother was playing with a female official with pieces of triangular slices.

Xia Xingxiao went to check it out, and asked in great perplexity: "Auntie, is this Huang Bosi's "Yan Ji Tu"? But it doesn't seem to be very similar..."

"Haha, our female Jinshi really has good eyesight! This is Yan'er from my palace. I made an improved "Yan Ji Pu", changing all the squares on the picture into triangles, and using these thirteen triangular tables , synthetic butterfly wings, also called Yan Chi Ji; look at Aijia's new gadget made by himself!—”

Xia Xingxiao took a look at Yan'er first, she had the impression that she was a girl with big eyes looking at elves; after Yan'er finished her salute, she saw that the imperial aunt was playing with the "Yanji Pu" It's a joy.

"Xiao Guanzi was overjoyed when he saw it! He bluntly said that such ingenious ideas and inventions are needed in the palace! He immediately rewarded Yan'er, which made everyone else envious. What about...

Not to mention her, the Ai family loves this 'tangram' too!I also rewarded Yan'er..."

"Jigsaw puzzle?" Xia Xingxiao repeated.

"Yeah, Xiaoguanzi took the name..."

Tangram - Difficult test.

It is generally believed that it originated from the pictures of Yan (Yan) in the Song and Ming Dynasties, Huang Bosi wrote "Yan Ji Tu", and Yan Cheng in Ming Dynasty wrote "Yan Ji Pu" to change the square into a triangle, and use 13 triangular tables to form a butterfly wing shape, which is called Yan Ji. The wing table can also spell out various graphics.At the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, there were jigsaw puzzles, and the Layman Yangzhuo published "Qiqiao Tu" to spread it.
