When Fu Zhixing came in, he was the only one. Yan Huo looked behind him and didn't see Min Zichang, "Cousin Chang is gone?"

"I can't bear to give up?" Fu Zhixing asked.

"No." Yan Huo quickly shook his head. This man was jealous, but she had experienced it.

Fu Zhixing walked up to her, reached out and twisted her cheek, "Why do you like to attract cats and dogs so much?"

"Who has caused cats to provoke dogs? You are always flirting with flowers!" Yan Huo pouted unhappily. Princess Yijia, Wenhe County Lord, Min Lingzhi... Just count, there were six, seven, eight or nine, and her hands were almost out of reach.

"I look down on those crooked melons and cracked dates." Fu Zhixing sat down beside Yan Huo, reached out and hugged the person in his arms.

Yan Huo snorted, "Sister doesn't look down on those raw melon seeds, so she likes old pumpkins."

Old pumpkin!

Fu Zhixing's face, which had just recovered, turned darker again, "I'm very old?"

Yan Huodang didn't see his expression and smiled and said, "You are eight years older than me, and you are almost nine years old. Do you know that there are three generation gaps between us at the age of three?" He stretched out three white and tender fingers and shook them.

"What is the generation gap?" Fu Zhixing found that the little girl occasionally had some fresh words that she had never heard of before.

Yan Huo's eyes rolled, "It means similar to the gap. Three generation gaps are equal to three gaps. Divide... um..."

Fu Zhixing kissed the little girl's mouth, and he used his tongue to pry the little girl's lips without hesitation. When the lips and teeth were connected, where did the gap come from? Even if there was a gap, he filled them.

Yan Huo gritted his teeth and did not let go. He could not give up all the sweetness at once. He kissed the girl's mouth a little hurt again, and was pushed away by Yan Huo.

"Have you tasted something?" Yan Huo asked with a smile.

"Sweet." Fu Zhixing's eyebrows and eyes were soft and authentic.

"I just ate sugar cheese cherry." Yan Hao laughed and stood up.

Fu Zhixing grabbed her little arm and said, "Where are you going?"

"If you don't go anywhere, it's just... the weather is too hot." Yan Huo fanned the air with his right hand, "Don't hug him."

Fu Zhixing knew that the little girl was shy and did not force her to let go of her hand. In fact, he hugged her soft body and smelled the faint fragrance. He was distracted and it was not very pleasant.

"Why are you here again?" Yan Huo sat down on a chair not far from Fu Zhixing.

"Don't want to see me?" Fu Zhixing asked expressionlessly.

Yan Huo glanced at him coquettishly, "I'm afraid you will come too hard, and my father doesn't like you." If the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are natural enemies, then the father-in-law and son-in-law are mortal enemies.

Fu Zhixing thought of his father-in-law who was like guarding against him, and touched his nose and couldn't help but smile bitterly.

The two chatted for a while, and Yan Hu sent Fu Zhixing out of the yard and went back to the house to practice calligraphy.

Spring is the season for everything to revive, summer is the season for courtship, and in April, many get married and many get engaged. Dingxiang and Sun Dongmei, the ladies who were not selected by the Crown Princess, have also been engaged, but the talented woman Wenhe County Lord, who was still popular in the past, was ignored.

Princess Rushun, who was determined to let her daughter marry, was almost angry and cursed when she saw the world, "You damn girl, so many people died, why don't you die?"

The county lord Wenhe cried, "A talented woman is originally delicate and sensitive inside, and is sad about spring and autumn. Now that she has suffered such cruel wind, frost, snow and rain, how can she not cry and be heartbroken?"

"Crying, crying all day long, I'm not dead yet, I want you to cry for the funeral of that family." Princess Rushun yelled. The situation of the Li family and the Yan family is similar. The Yan family is the Grand Tutor Yan, and the Li family is Grand Tutor Li. Princess Nanping married into the Yan family, and Princess Rushun followed him and married into the Li family. However, Grand Tutor Li was not favored by the emperor. When he was old, the emperor immediately agreed and let Taishi Li, who was originally pretending to be a pretentious person, go from pretending to really abortion.

"Okay, things are already like this. Don't scold her. If you can't find a suitable family in Beijing, then marry her far away." Li Junma advised.

"I'm not far away from marrying." County Lord Wenhe shouted in a sharp voice.

"Your reputation is bad. If you don't get married, you won't be able to get married? You won't want to marry Fu Wujiu in a delusion, right? Fu Wujiu was given a marriage, and even now Yan Shier is dead, her tablet must enter the Fu family." Princess Rushun was so angry that she couldn't compete for Princess Nanping, and now her daughter couldn't compete for Yan Hu.

"Then let her tablet enter the Fu family and let her take the original title of her, and it is not a pile of loess." County Lord Wenhe said with hatred.

Princess Rushun pursed her lips and said nothing. Her second wife was shorter than her original wife. Princess Nanping was the mother of the original wife. She was the mother of the second wife. Then she was shorter than Princess Nanping. This... she didn't want to.

"Mom, please help me, please help me." County Lord Wenhe rushed over and hugged Princess Rushun's legs and begged.

"You just want to marry Fu Wujiu?" asked Princess Rushun.

"Yes, I won't marry him." County Lord Wenhe said firmly.

Princess Rushun thought for a while, "Fu Wujiu is good, and my mother has also liked him early in the morning. Since you like him so much, I will help you and help you."

County Lord Wenhe was happy, "Thank you, mom."

Li Junma frowned, "The Anguo Duke's Mansion and the Yan family are not ordinary families, so don't do anything randomly." As Master Li retired, the Li family's power in the court weakened by half. It can be said that they have no chance of winning against the Yan family, which is full of sages and the Anguo Duke's Mansion, which has the eldest princess Chengyang, who is in charge of the position of Princess Chengyang.

"You don't have to worry about this, I know it." Princess Rushun said impatiently. She regretted her choice even more and more for this timid and useless man.

What else did Li Junma want to say, and County Lord Wenhe said angrily, "Dad, I am your biological daughter. Are you so looking forward to marrying me far away?"

"You can do whatever you like, I don't care." Li Junma shook his hand and left.

Yan Huo never expected that her and Fu Zhixing had already made up their mark, and County Lord Wenhe was not giving up, and Princess Rushun was also ready to help her daughter kill people and steal them.

The Yan family was preparing for the three brothers of the Yan family to participate in the palace examination on April 13. The palace examination of this dynasty was only one day, and the papers were handed in the evening. There were three people in the first class, which were well-known to the world. The top scholar, second class, Tanhua, and first class were called "Jinshi" and also called "Sanding Jia". Several people in the second class were called "Jinshi" and the first class was Chuanlu. Several people in the third class were given the same Jinshi.

"...After all, the same Jinshi are shorter than the Jinshi." Taifu Yan was not worried about Yan Tongzhu, but was afraid that Yan Tongan and Yan Tonghua would become the same Jinshi. According to the convention of this dynasty, the same Jinshi could not be left in the capital and could only be released. Of course, no matter how bad the same Jinshi was, it was better than the failure. There were also high-ranking officials who were born in the same Jinshi, but their career was not as smooth as the Jinshi.

"Grandfather, going to a local area to be a county's parent official and benefiting the people is the lifelong wish of his grandson." Yan Tonghua was a concubine. Although his mother treated him well, he knew his duty. He could not steal the limelight from his brother, nor did he plan to rely on his father's favor. He was willing to use his political achievements to improve his official rank.

"It's great that you have this ambition." Grand Tutor Yan smiled with relief.

On April 13th, at dawn, the tribute scholars, under the guidance of the eunuch, entered Baohe Hall. After experiencing a series of etiquettes, they sat down in front of the desk. Before the butt was hot, they heard the eunuch shout, "The emperor is here!"

Well, a lot of people sat down and knelt down and shouted, "Long live Your Majesty!"

"Flat." The emperor's low and heavy voice sounded.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Everyone stood up.

The emperor glanced over and smiled and said, "You are all pillars of the country."

Then the tributes took the exam. The emperor went to the morning court. The palace exam took one day, so the emperor could not sit here for a day and watch them. More than 200 tributes sat neatly in the hall, with imperial guards guarding around them. Under such strict circumstances, it was basically impossible to cheat, and of course they did not dare to cheat.

Shen Shizheng started to raise his hands one after another, indicating that the eunuch could collect the papers. Yan Tongzhu was the first of the three brothers to hand in the papers. A quarter of an hour later, Yan Tong'an handed in the papers, and finally Yan Tonghua. When he got home, the sun had already set.

When Grand Tutor Yan saw that his three grandsons were back, he asked them to solve their personal problems first. After dinner, he said, "Write out the strategies you wrote."

The three of them sat down beside the desk and began to write. After writing, they gave it to Grand Tutor Yan, Grand Master Yan, Second Master Yan and Fourth Master Yan. During the palace examination, the last place in the second class was almost dropped to the third class. He was not able to learn to show off his shortcomings. It is better to hide his weakness than to show off his ugly appearance.

After reading the three people's arguments, the four men said, "It's stable, and it shouldn't be the third one."

Only then did the three of them return to the hospital to rest without saying a word all night.

The next day, Yan Huo went to the outer courtyard to find her fourth brother, "Fourth brother, are you doing well in the exam? Can you be called a Tanhua?"

"Little sister, you look down on your fourth brother so much. There are many talented people in the world. It would be great if your fourth brother can be in the second grade." Yan Tongzhu said with a smile.

"The fourth brother can definitely be called a Tanhua." Yan Huo patted his chest, "I am Xiao Fuxing."

Yan Tongzhu smiled, "Fourth brother admits your noble words."

"It's a pity that it will take a few days to get acclaim." Yan Huo held his cheek with both hands.

"No hurry, this ranking will always come out." Yan Tongzhu said with a smile.

At this time, in a closed palace in the palace, the reading officers were revising the document. The reading officers were usually made by Hanlin Grand Secretary and court officials with excellent Chinese literature, with a total of eight people. This palace examination was performed by two Grand Secretary and six ministers of the academy.

Because all three nephews participated in the palace examination, Uncle Yan and Erye Yan avoided according to the law. Since the emperor appointed the essay to read the paper, these eight people were taken into this palace and were under the supervision of the Imperial Guard and could not go out until the ranking of the tributes was decided.

The examiners took turns to circulate the test papers, and there were 237 pieces. On the 18th, they had to finish reading all the papers before the 17th. After reading them, they left various marks on the papers, divided into five levels, circles, pointed, dots, straights, and forks, and then wrote down comments and stamped their own official seal.

The one with the most circles is the best book. The ten copies with the most circles are selected and presented to the emperor. He appointed the first, second and third place in the imperial examination, which is the top scorer, second place, and Tanhua. In order to maintain fairness and justice, the reader did not communicate the content of the test paper at all, nor did he express any opinions.

On the evening of the 17th, they finally finished reviewing the papers, picked out the ten papers with the largest number of circles, and presented them to the emperor.

In the early morning of the 18th, Yan Huo got up early and went to the outer courtyard to send Yan Tongzhu to the palace to attend the ceremony of the ritual. Seeing Yan Tongzhu wearing a Jinshi uniform issued by the court, he shook his head and said, "Great and graceful, miserable young man, so beautiful."

"Naughty." Yan Tongzhu smiled and rubbed Yan Hu's head.

"Fourth brother, I will go with my mother later, my second aunt and second sister-in-law, my third sister-in-law will go and see you parade!" Yan Huo said with a smile on his face.

"Okay." Yan Tongzhu replied with a smile.

"I will throw you the flowers at that time, and you must catch them." Yan Huo said again.

"Okay." Yan Tongzhu bid farewell to his parents, brothers and sisters, and entered the palace with his two cousins. The priest wore a dress to the Palace of Supreme Harmony to ascend to the imperial throne. The priest reader, the deacon and others knelt three times and nine times to the priest. The official of the Honglu Temple guided the new jinshi to stand in two rows according to the ranking of the Spring Examination.

The emperor and ministers above the fourth rank in the palace were discussing matters, and they were discussing the ranking of new Jinshi. There were ten unpacked test papers on the dragon case, and their names and hometowns were also clearly written on them.

The emperor's eyes swept over the ministers and asked, "My dear friends, which three are the best? Tell me."

"Your Majesty is wise. These ten papers are rare masterpieces. It is difficult for me to distinguish the superiority of the emperor. Please decide." This is a very official statement. I have to say this every three years, but the people who say it are different. Last time I was the left prime minister and this time I was the right prime minister.

The emperor was satisfied with the answer from his minister, with a slight smile on his lips, "Luo Hong can be the top scorer first, Cheng Wende is the second scorer, as for Tanhua..." The emperor hesitated for a moment, "Let these ten people come in." Without seeing anyone, he was so ugly that he was a Tanhualang, and he had the reputation of being a Tanhualang.

The eunuch went out to bring ten people in, and among them were Yan Tongzhu; everyone talked about their names and hometowns one by one, so that the emperor could know who was who.

"Yan Tongzhu, Yan family, is Taifu Yan yours?" asked the emperor.

"Go back to Your Majesty, Grand Tutor Yan is the student's grandfather." Yan Tongzhu replied.

"How many rooms are you from?" the emperor continued to ask.

"Your Majesty, the student is from the fourth room." Yan Tongzhu replied respectfully.

"The fourth room is the eldest son of the girl in Nanping." The smile on the face of the emperor became a little deeper. This was the grandson of Prince Rong, and he was also like his grandson, "Tanhua Yan Tongzhu."

Yan Tongzhu was stunned for a moment. Is he a Tanhua? A pie fell from the sky and just happened to fall on his head. The little sister is really a little lucky star. "Thank you for your grace."

The emperor laughed, "I announced the ranking of the first place in the new Jinshi, including the top scorer Luo Hongxian, the second-place winner Cheng Wende, and the Tanhua Yan Tongzhu."

"I am pleased to obey the edict, long live my emperor!" The ministers said.

The rankings of the first and second grades are determined, and the rankings of the second and third grades are not troubled by the emperor. The palace examination is made of yellow paper, the inside and the inside are divided into two layers, and the small gold list is divided into large and large gold lists. After the small gold list is introduced, the imperial examination is presented to the emperor list and archived in the large gold list. The large gold list is sealed with jade seals. After the ceremony of the rituals, the Minister of Rites will be sent to the middle gate of the Taihe Hall on the imperial list, and then it will be hung on the palace wall outside the East Chang'an Gate. Therefore, those who pass the imperial examination are also called the Golden List title.

Jinshi doesn’t have to look at the list, it’s for the people to see. Jinshi will go out from the palace to parade directly after the ceremony of the ceremonies. The new Jinshi will parade on horseback and parade with unlimited scenery, which is something that all scholars in the world dream of.
