Chapter 197
After Zhu Di prepared the pen and ink provided by the court.

Sitting in a single room that can only accommodate one person for a little bit of activity, close your eyes and meditate.

ding ding ding...

At a certain moment, the crisp gong sound came.

He slowly opened his eyes.

A yamen servant carried a small copper gong and walked past the examination number, beating, "Attention all candidates, the examination papers are about to be distributed, the water bowl on the table is placed on the ground, don't..."

It's just some exam details.

The reminder is very detailed and in place.

Not long after the yamen servants passed by, a green-robed official came again with two yamen servants.

"Writing must be neat and careful..."

While handing out the test papers, the junior officer patiently talked about some details of writing the answer sheets.

Then he took two yamen servants and went to the next examination number.

Zhu Di first opened the envelope of the sealed test paper, and roughly checked the general types of the test questions.

Soon, they discovered the changes in this year's hospital examination.

The amount of questions is very large!
He decided to sprint for the imperial examination, so he had a detailed understanding of the Ming Dynasty's imperial examination.

During the period, Miaoyun also asked Huizu to get him some sets of previous years' examination papers.

Therefore, he is very familiar with the amount of questions in the past.

Not to mention the difficulty of this year’s college exam, the number of questions alone has doubled.

"With such a large amount of questions, are the people in the Ministry of Rites crazy!"

"Can this be done?"

"In the past, the amount of questions was very tight. This year, the amount of questions is directly doubled. How can I take the exam!"

……

When Zhu Di found that the number of exam questions doubled, complaints and complaints came out one after another from the surrounding exam numbers.

These people were implicated by him, and Lu Ben was really not afraid of offending people in order to set up obstacles for him.

Zhu Di couldn't help smiling.

Complaining that the questions are difficult, complaining about too many questions, scolding the person who made the question...

There is a kind of inexplicable deja vu in this situation.

Scholars of any era have a hard time.

In any era, unless you were born with a noble background, if you want to go up, you have to go through various tests.

Every time you pass a level, it means breaking through a barrier.

The imperial examination has various disadvantages, but in general, it is still a relatively fair talent selection mechanism with more advantages than disadvantages.

Deja vu scene.

But now and in the past, the state of mind when looking at problems has changed a lot.

Listen up.

Xia Shuren, who took the test number on the right, was very quiet without any complaints.

Can't help but nod secretly.

No matter how talented this Xia scholar is, his stability is commendable.

You know, Xia Shuren's family situation seems to be very embarrassing.

A family of four shares a wild vegetable pancake.

Compared with many scholars present, he urgently needs to be a scholar.

A scholar who passed the exam is exempted from food, and the court will provide him with food, which is equivalent to making money by studying. Of course, this money is not much.

It can only meet the needs of one person's life.

But as long as you save a little, it is not a problem to feed two people with one person's food.

After a little more copying books and writing letters for others, I can barely rely on my fame as a scholar to support a family of four.

In addition, the scholar who has passed the examination also has political and judicial privileges. Officials must be treated with courtesy, and they will not kneel when they see officials. They will not be chained or sentenced to crimes.

Forced by the heavy pressure of life, many people will become impatient and eager for quick success.

When faced with difficulties, complaints increase and emotions become violent.

But these situations did not appear to Xia Shuren.

It is enough to prove that Xia Shuren has a calm personality, and at the same time, he is a person who is good at controlling emotions.

An adult who can't even control his emotions.

Even talented.

It won't go very far either.

Soon, the examiner came forward and scolded, and the examination room returned to silence.

Afterwards, Zhu Di read the test paper carefully again, and he already knew the basic test questions by heart.

Part one, basics.

The content of the Five Classics accounts for a large proportion of the basics.

There are more annotations than dictation.

The increase in the number of questions is mainly the basic part.

The second part is the part of stereotyped articles that has been criticized by history.

Zhu Di opened the envelope containing the answer sheet.

There are two answer sheets.

Each piece is about one foot long, which is 3.3 meters.

There is a discount for every six vertical lines, for a total of 23 discounts.

There are four bright red characters of "The Seal of the Ministry of Rites" printed on the top of the first fold. Candidates should write their names and resumes on the first fold.

Then seal it.

Zhu Di opened the first fold and began to write his resume.

In fact, counting from him up, there are three generations of Lao Zhu's family.

A string of regular Chinese characters, as neat as printed ones, appeared on the paper as the tip of Zhu Di's pen brushed across the paper.

Finished.

Zhu Di looked at it, nodded slightly, and was very satisfied with the printed lowercase script, but then he couldn't help laughing, and muttered, "I might as well just write: My father is Zhu Yuanzhang."

……

at the same time.

Xia Shuren next door, also stained with ink, carefully wrote down his resume in lower case on the first fold.

……

Royal Palace.

Morning ends early.

Hundreds of officials filed out from the hall, walking in groups of twos and threes, discussing in low voices.

"Your Majesty ended his court so early, presumably because he wanted to go out of the palace to visit his two grandsons."

"What emperor's grandson, Zhu Silang has already been demoted to a common man, at most he can only be regarded as a grandson or granddaughter!"

"..."

"Your Majesty may have even considered where to hang Zhu Silang's scholar examination papers in the ancestral temple."

"Haha, that's only if Zhu Silang can pass the exam."

……

Sapphire listened to the civil servant's discussion.

He leaned over to Xu Da and asked curiously, "Third brother, is Zhu Silang confident?"

Xu Da looked suspiciously.

Lan Yu actually cared about Shiro?

Lan Yu hurriedly explained: "We are just curious."

He was indeed curious, needless to say Zhu Silang's force, he was almost killed by the opponent.

He would not be surprised if Zhu Di was allowed to lead the army in battle.

But now it’s time to take the scholar exam.

Could it be that Emperor Zhu's old Zhu family really wants to produce a Yunwen Yunwu Zhu Silang?

Then the emperor woke up laughing even if he couldn't sleep?
However, the civil servants seem to be not optimistic about it, and they are quite opposed to the old Zhu's family producing a scholar, a scholar, and a Jinshi.

He can also understand the mentality of civil servants: Your old Zhu family's mud legs are the emperor, and you are the first family in the ages!If you have to prove that your old Zhu's family is not bad in the exam, it's a bit too much!

Civil officials can't accept it. The old Zhu's family can win the world with swords and guns, and can also take the imperial examination. This kind of mentality is amazing.

In fact, these old brothers, when they heard that Zhu Silang was going to sprint for the imperial examination, they felt very uncomfortable.

Everyone is mud-legged, through daring to fight hard, Emperor Zhu became the emperor, and these old brothers are also masters, not bad.

But you, Emperor Zhu's family, still want to produce a real scholar?

Why do all good things go to Emperor Zhu's house?
"We don't know either." Xu Da shook his head, "If Lu Ben doesn't cause trouble, it is certain that our son-in-law will be a scholar, but can't you hear the discussions among the civil servants these days?"

Sapphire couldn't help laughing.

Of course he had.

I heard that the amount of questions alone doubled. Many officials predicted that most candidates would not even finish the questions.

Where is Zhu Shiro?

Can it be done?

"Third brother, don't be discouraged. Maybe Zhu Silang really came back from the exam for your majesty and third brother. Your majesty may even have thought about where Zhu Silang's scholar examination paper should be hung in the ancestral temple." Sapphire smiled and left.

Lu Ben has done this, if Zhu Silang can still pass the exam for a scholar with his ability.

The emperor hung his scholar examination papers in the ancestral temple.

He, Lan Yu, is also convinced!
The emperor condoned Lu Ben's behavior, isn't it just to convince the officials!

Xu Da's lips twitched.

He suddenly discovered that this sapphire had become 'insidious'.

Just congratulate him.

Why do you have to mention Emperor Zhu.

Doesn't this just imply to him that Shiro really came back from the examination of a scholar, and the one with the brightest face is His Majesty. As a father-in-law, his name is somewhat dishonest?

……

"Xiuying, Xiuying..."

Inside the bedroom.

Ma Xiuying and Mingxia are arranging a new set of clothes.

Hearing the shouts outside, Ma Xiuying laughed angrily.

turn around...

I saw Zhu Yuanzhang walking in quickly from the gate of the palace.

When Zhu Yuanzhang saw the new clothes on the table, he immediately smiled, walked over, stretched out his hands to pinch the fabric of the clothes, nodded and said, "Not bad, not bad, better than the one Tiande wore last night."

"As long as it is better than Tiande, we can't be inferior in front of our grandson and granddaughter."

Ma Xiuying smiled and stared.

After a while, Zhu Yuanzhang put on brand new clothes.

He even went to take a photo in front of the bronze mirror in the inner hall, and then walked out with a confident smile, "Let's go."

After getting on the waiting carriage in the palace courtyard, Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at Ma Xiuying, his tone was a little unconfident, and whispered: "When you see your daughter-in-law, you can say a few more good words to us."

"You didn't do anything yourself, so what's the use of us talking nice things?" Ma Xiuying stared.

The corners of Zhu Yuanzhang's lips twitched, angry, he glanced aside and stopped talking.

Could it be that, as Lao Tzu, he really wants to bow his head to his son?
Soon, the carriage arrived at Xu Mansion.

After arriving at the Xu Mansion, Zhu Yuanzhang missed the opportunity.

After Xu Miaoyun sent Zhu Di to the examination room, she has not returned yet.

"The morning court is over, and it's been a while since the exam started. Why hasn't girl Miaoyun come back yet? Did something happen?" Zhu Yuanzhang's face was dark.

If someone dares to attack two infant grandchildren during the bastard's fourth exam.

He insisted on skinning this person and turning him into grass!
Seeing that Xu Miaoyin's three sisters turned pale with fear from Zhu Yuanzhang's aura, Ma Xiuying comforted her: "Huizu is still following, there must be something wrong, there may be something delayed."

With a dark face, Zhu Yuanzhang turned his head and told the little eunuch who followed: "Go, call us Jiang Yu!"

Not long after, Jiang Yu came in a hurry.

After Zhu Yuanzhang saw Jiang Yu, he immediately ordered: "Look for Xu Daya immediately."

"My lord, don't worry. Mrs. Xu is in the teahouse opposite Yingtian Academy. I am worried that someone will harm the two grandsons, so I have been sending people to protect her secretly..."

Jiang Yu said, out of the corner of his eye, he secretly glanced at Mao Xiang who was standing beside him.

From the day Zhu Silang and his wife entered the city.

He placed a lot of Jin Yiwei's eyeliner around the possible haunts of this young couple.

Just wanted to see if I could find anything.

Before, the couple were in charge of Mao Xiang's special line.

He didn't know much about the young couple.

Unexpectedly, just wanting to understand the young couple in more detail, in case of a rainy day, there are unexpected gains.

Xu Daya actually took the initiative to get close to the wife of a poor scholar.

This matter is often said to be small, but it is actually nothing.

But speaking more broadly, the sensitive identities of Zhu Silang and his wife can be interpreted in many ways.

He has been waiting for the emperor to call.

What will the emperor think when he hears this?

Ma Xiuying glanced at Jiang Yu, and suggested with a smile: "How about we go to the teahouse? Let's see what is the reason, so that Miaoyun girl has a kind heart."

Compared with Mao Xiang, he always eased the relationship between the father and son Chong Hachi and Shiro.

Jiang Yu said everything, reported everything, and acted like a businessman.

She was very worried that the father-son relationship with signs of bridging finally appeared, because of this ambitious person, what troubles would arise again.

Make sure little Yongming and little Qihua are fine.

Zhu Yuanzhang's expression had softened a lot and he ordered: "Go back. Mao Aliu will accompany us and the Queen to the teahouse. Girl Miaoyin, you are busy with your business."

He is also very interested in this matter.

Unexpectedly, when I went out of the palace to see my little grandson, I would encounter unexpected things.

what?
Jiang Yu looked up in astonishment.

why?
Now he is the eyes and ears of the emperor. In the past, Mao Xiang was always by the emperor's side!
But the emperor let Mao Aliu follow, not let him follow!

Mao Aliu is already a grassroots person, what kind of thing is he!And didn't you already lose His Majesty's trust?
Jiang Wei hid his jealousy in his eyes and watched Mao Laoliu driving the car in person, taking Zhu Yuanzhang and Ma Xiuying straight to the teahouse.

 This chapter has been revised and revised, but I still feel that the writing is a bit flat. It is mainly to pave the way for the Xia family and Jiang Yu's superiors. I hope everyone can understand. I will try my best to write this kind of foreshadowing chapter.

  Finally, ask for monthly tickets, recommended tickets, follow-up subscriptions, and full subscriptions with the cheek.
