It is like a beautiful flower for you, like a year of water.

It's the answer to look all over the place, and to pity himself in the boudoir.

Before turning the peony bar, it was close to the edge of the lake and mountain.

And you loosen the collar buttons, the width of the clothes, and the sleeves are stained with your teeth.

……

The lively scene of the drunken Red Mansion that day seemed to be yesterday, but the day of the palace examination had quietly come, and an exam related to the future and fate had quietly kicked off.

The date of the initial formation of the palace examination was the first day of the first month of March, but in the eighth year of Chenghua, in order to mourn the prince, the time of the palace examination was changed to March 15, and it has been used to this day.

The day before, the eleven tribute students of the Teochew Association had gone to bed early. It's just that the anxiety before the exam permeated the entire hall, and several people went to the toilet twice, tossing and turning and unable to sleep.

After several rounds of torture in the rankings, Lin Haoran's ability to adjust his mentality has also become much stronger, and he sleeps quite peacefully.

As the leader of the examination, as long as he does not make principled political mistakes, his ranking will not be low. In particular, he quietly compares himself with others, his handwriting is better than others, and he has a good advantage.

As long as this palace test is normal, then he should be among the top two, and it is likely that he will stay in the capital as a Beijing official.

When someone at the hall knocked on the door and told them to get up, he seemed to notice it a second in advance. Before there was a knock on the door, he had woken up and seemed to be in good spirits.

Good sleep quality can indeed affect a person's mood, and when he opened his eyes, he felt that these had enough energy to cope with the exam, and a second-class jinshi was afraid that he would not be able to run away.

"I only got the second class in my dream last night, hey!" Yang Futian sat on the bed and said frustrated at the two who were dressing.

That's right, this thing really looks depressed!

Ning Jiang was buttoning his clothes, and when he heard this, he stopped, gritted his teeth and said disdainfully: "You will try to take the three hundred and forty-eight places, and if you can get the second grade, it will be counted as smoke from your ancestral tomb, and you still think about the first grade, will you really be blind when you are those examiners?" ”

"If you don't look down on people, I might be able to take it...... What about the list! Yang Futian's little eyes turned over, but he was just seeing Lin Hao, but he changed his words again.

"You should close your eyes and lie in bed before you fall asleep!" Ning Jiang straightened his collar and said sarcastically.

Theoretically, the more than 300 tributes who participated in the palace examination this time have a chance to win the champion, but the examination has actually carried out a division of ability. If Yang Futian can be admitted to the second grade, he will dare to cut his head.

After the three of them washed up, they wore uniform tribute uniforms and came to the lobby of the hall together.

The hall lobby was brightly lit, the hot breakfast was already on the table, and the shopkeeper Chen was waiting in front of the door with a smiling face, welcoming the arrival of the three people.

There were already a lot of people sitting in the hall, and in addition to the eight tributes, there were also a number of lifters who were also sitting in the hall. Seeing the three of them come in, they also saluted one after another, and their eyes revealed envy.

Lin Haoran greeted the eight tributes, and then followed those who raised people: "Brothers, let's go and help you figure it out, then you won't have to be blind next year!" ”

"Senior Brother Xie Jiyan!"

"Huh...... I'm tired of my brother! ”

"We also wish you all the first and second grades, and I wish my senior brother the top student in high school!"

……

These people responded one after another, and they also sincerely wished everyone good results in the palace examination. Although it is inevitable that they are a little lonely looking at the scenery of these eleven people, they have already put themselves in the right mood and are willing to be their green leaves.

It is extremely beautiful to lift people in the township, but compared with Jinshi, it is indeed not worth mentioning. This is also why many people are still struggling for the fame of Jinshi when they are forty or fifty years old.

Lin Haoran sat down to eat, and the breakfast seemed very rich.

Since the eleven tributes have been produced here, the food here has improved considerably. Some Cantonese merchants not only gave gifts to the tributes, but also gave some support to the guild hall, which was not a place to make profits, so after this abundance of money, it was natural to improve the food for these tributes.

Shopkeeper Chen looked at the current scenery of the guild hall, and also saw the unity of these scholars, and smiled happily on the side, knowing that this guild hall would become more and more prosperous.

After breakfast, the carriage was already waiting outside. Since it was a tribute, the carriage dealer seemed to attach great importance to it, and each carriage was lit with two big red lanterns.

Lin Haoran led ten tribute soldiers, followed the people and merchants who sent them off, and in their envious eyes, stepped into the carriage and went to participate in the palace examination together.

The car passed through the silent street, and soon entered the wide West Chang'an Avenue and came to the door of the West Garden.

When he got out of the car, Lin Haoran deliberately glanced towards the square of the Forbidden City, which seemed empty.

Theoretically, they are waiting there for a reason, and the exam will be in the Forbidden City. It's just that a few palace maids who tried to strangle Emperor Jiajing changed all this, and Jiajing moved from the Forbidden City to Xiyuan, and the location of the palace test also came to Xiyuan.

However, he doesn't feel too bad about this result, he has been to the Forbidden City in his previous life, but he has never stepped into Zhongnanhai half a step, and now he has got what he wanted.

At this time, nearly two hundred tributes had gathered at the gate of Xiyuan, all of whom were dressed in uniform tributes, looking excited and nervous. It's just that compared with the past, the atmosphere seems to be much more harmonious.

Since many people have already known each other, they also greet each other. Among the more than 300 tributes, Lin Haoran was already a big celebrity, and many people saluted him.

However, in front of them, there were officials waiting to enter the palace, as well as some personnel from the Ministry of Rites, especially their teacher Wu Shan was standing in front, so everyone did not dare to communicate too much.

What's more, they are about to carry out a new fight, and no one dares to take it lightly.

Although some people are already satisfied with Jinshi, because at least they can go to the local magistrate to become a county, and there is a lot of room for growth, many people are thinking about the last Bo.

Some people are eager to enter the Hanlin Academy and become the prime minister; Some people want to mix in the second class, hoping to enter the sixth department; There are also people who hope to be ranked in the top three and strive to become officials in Beijing.

It was like this, everyone's eyes were fixed on the palace, and a longing swelled in their hearts.

Lin Haoran noticed that Yan Beichen cast a provocative glance at him, and then turned his head proudly, raised his chin and looked at the palace gate, and melted the image of an arrogant son.

"Hey, are you fighting spirit?" Ning Jiang, who was next to him, noticed this scene and immediately pushed his arm and asked quietly.

"Nope! Even if he gets the top prize in the exam, I only get the second grade, and he will have to lift my shoes in the future! Lin Haoran's eyes were full of strong confidence, and he replied very indifferently.

Ning Jiang was stunned for a moment, but then gave him a thumbs up. He didn't know how far Lin Haoran could go, but it was true that it was indeed difficult for people like Yan Beichen to gain a foothold in officialdom.

Just when the thumb was raised in front of Lin Haoran, the palace door creaked, and slowly hit the two sides, revealing a white light inside.
