On August 17th, the autumn examination ended. After the nine days of hard work, the three brothers of Yan Tongshu returned home and almost lost half their lives. After sleeping for a whole day, they recovered. Taifu Yan asked the three of them to write the article down. After reading it, they privately said to Mrs. Yan: "There is hope for the same book, but the ranking will not be too good. Tong'an and Tonghua are not in good condition, so they have to wait for another three years."

The facts prove that Taifu Yan's vision is very accurate. On the fifth day of the September 1st, there was only Yan Tongshu's name on the Gui list, and the ranking was not very good, ranked 120th, but after all, he was a juren and was qualified to participate in the spring exam, which was worthy of celebration. Yan Tong'an and Yan Tonghua failed the exam as expected, and Fang Sanlang also made the list, ranking better than Yan Tongshu. At the 89th place, the Fang family sent someone to report the good news to Yan Qi, and the Fang family felt that Yan Qi was strong for his husband.

Jiang Feng also participated in the autumn examination, but failed the exam. Mrs. Yan San complained angrily, "This child is so incompetent." She hugged Yan Zhi and sighed, "My son has made you suffer."

"Mother, my second cousin is not old, so it's okay to take the exam three years later. My eldest brother failed the exam three years ago, but he won't pass this year. As long as my second cousin is motivated," Yan Zhi was more open-minded.

"You are right to say that, I just hate Fang Sanlang why did he go to high school? Let the second girl suppress you." Mrs. Yan San said indignantly.

"There is a personal fate, and the mother doesn't have to care about it." Yan Zhi said calmly.

Some people are in high school and some fail the exam. This is normal. What is surprising is that Jie Yuan’s name is Fu Zhixing this time.

"Can they have the same name and surname?" Princess Nanping asked Master Yan Si. Yan Huo sat beside him and looked at her father, and she wanted to know too.

Fu Zhixing is a nobleman who has a title to inherit, without the imperial examination.

Master Yan Si smiled and said, "It's either the same name and surname, or the one we know Wujiu. I think he participated in the autumn examination to know how his knowledge is."

"This child is rare to be naughty." Princess Nanping smiled.

"Although that's the case, Wujiu learned about Yuan in the exam. You will prepare a gift to congratulate him." Master Yan Si was originally a romantic figure who would do whatever he wanted. He yearned for freedom. Although he was tired of his family and became an official, he still felt unruly in his bones. Fu Zhixing acted casually, which made him admire him very much.

"Okay." Princess Nanping responded with a smile.

"I want to go too, mom takes Xiaoxiao with you." Yan Huo rushed into Princess Nanping's arms and said coquettishly.

"I never said I would go there myself." Princess Nanping smiled in a narrow smile.

Yan Huo's eyes turned scatteredly and said, "Of course, you have to go and congratulate such a big happy event in person to be sincere. Mom, I'm going, I'm going."

"I think about it." Princess Nanping pretended to be thinking.

Yan Huo lay in her arms and looked at her with pleading eyes. After a while, Princess Nanping said, "It's okay to go, but the gift must come out of your private warehouse."

"Okay." Yan Huo quickly slipped down from the couch, put on embroidered cloth shoes, ran out to find something in her small warehouse.

"Why is this stingy girl so generous today?" Master Yan Si asked in surprise.

Princess Nanping smiled, "Wujiu is always very good to Xiaoxiao. Where do you think Xiaoxiao came from? That was given to her by Wujiu."

Master Yan frowned, "Wujiu is the only son." Yan Huo is weak and may not be able to give birth to children. Fu Zhixing has a title and must inherit it, but he cannot have children under his knees.

"Xiaoxiao is only five years old." Princess Nanping reminded him that it would be a mess if he didn't care.

Master Yan's face was slightly worried, he touched his chin, and thought, "Now he treats each other sincerely, we will give him the sincerity, and in the future..." He paused, "It's just a relationship between relatives."

Princess Nanping nodded. Her daughter was still young, so she was not in a hurry. Her daughter and Fu Zhixing were brother-sisters, well... the sincere brother-sister relationship.

Yan Huo had no idea about his parents' thoughts. He was searching for something in the small warehouse, standing on tiptoe in front of a mahogany box that was much taller than her, and struggled to find a jadeite Ruyi from it, feeling exhausted and panting.

Licorice stepped forward and said, "Miss, what do you want? I will help you get it."

"I remember that the plum-scent ink ingot that my grandfather gave me was placed in this box, why did it disappear?" Yan Huo frowned.

Licorice's mouth twitched slightly. It was given by the old man. It was clearly the lady who snatched it back. In order to prevent the lady from being angry and unable to expose it, she reminded her with a smile: "Miss, you forgot that when you cleaned up last time, you said that the things in the study were placed in the No. 6 mahogany box."

"Oh, yes, go find the box of plum fragrance ink ingots and the inkstone of the pine flower stone." Yan Hu ordered.

"Miss, do you want to give the ink ingots and inkstones to others?" Licorice asked while opening the box.

"I want to send it to Cousin Fu, Cousin Fu has been eligible for the Qingxu High School." Yan Huo said with a smile.

Princess Nanping said that she wanted Yan Hu to give all the gifts, but in fact, she did not make Yan Hu bleed heavily. She only asked for ink ingots and inkstones and other things, and asked her to put them back in the warehouse.

The next day, Princess Nanping reported that Mrs. Yan took Yan Tongming and Yan Hu to the Duke's Mansion of Anguo. Unfortunately, Fu Zhixing was called to the East Palace by the prince and was not in the mansion. He could not see the main master. Yan Hu was obediently lying in Han's arms and eating pastries. Princess Chengyang was half showing off and half sarcastic, "There is nothing to say about people who say that nobles do not study. My grandson took the exam to Jieyuan, and ranked first in the autumn examination, which is much better than those scholars." Moreover, Fu Zhixing was only fourteen years old, and he can be called a young man.

"My cousin is the top talent." Yan Huo shook his head and said.

Han smiled, shaved her nose with his fingers and said, "Qiuwei, it's fine if your cousin goes to take the exam. If you still go to the spring exam, the emperor will punish you." The exam was to win the scholars. Fu Zhixing is a noble child, so he can directly enter the official position, so he should not seize the quota.

"Wujiu can go if he wants to. The emperor has his own palace." The eldest princess Chengyang showed a bit of domineering princess style.

Han smiled and said nothing to disobey her mother-in-law. Anyway, she planned to persuade her son not to participate in the spring exam. The three of them chatted for a while, and Princess Nanping politely declined the kindness of the two of them leaving for food and took their children home.

The mother and son had just sat down in Chunhui Hall and hadn't said a few words to Mr. Yan, Mrs. Yan and Mrs. Yan brought Yan Tongshu and Wang in. The four of them were all wearing plain clothes. Mrs. Yan frowned and asked, "What happened to the family?"

"Chengen Gong Mansion." Mrs. Yan replied.

"I remember this is the third generation, right?" Mrs. Yan asked hesitantly.

"Mother remembers correctly, she is the third generation." Uncle Yan replied.

The title of Chengen Duke was born because of the Queen Mother, and it ended for three generations. The Queen Mother passed away for many years. It is still unknown whether the emperor would give him a favor to Yan's Chengen Duke. Yan's mansion did not have much contact with him, but the Wang family and Chengen Duke's mansion were of the same clan and origin. Although the bloodline was alienated and thin, such major events still had to pass. Moreover, the Grand Tutor Yan and Duke Chengen were both officials in the same court, and there was still some incense. Reporting the matter, Uncle Yan and his friends hurried out of the mansion and went to Chengen Duke's mansion.
