Although Mr. Yan said that her husband should be able to pass the exam this time, she is not sure in her heart, and now that she is sure, An An's heart has also been implemented.

Qingshu smiled and asked, "How many people did you take the test?" ”

Huzi said with a smile on his face: "The second aunt has taken the one hundred and six exams. ”

Qingshu's heart struck. There are three top three in the test, and the first one is the top three, which are the champion, the top eye, and the flower; The second class starts from the fourth place, and ends with the first few places, which is generally determined by the emperor and Shoufu and others. If it is a deadline of 100 this time, then Tan Jingye will be the top three. Sanjia is also called Tongjinshi, and some people joke that Sanjia is like a lady, that is, the second room.

Forget it, the future of the top three jinshi is limited. There is an unwritten rule in officialdom, and it is difficult for officials who are in the top three in the examination to climb above the third grade. And now none of the six Shangshu books of the court and the chief officials of the yamen were born in the top three.

An An was also very clear about these rules, and after hearing this, his face turned a little pale and muttered to himself: "How can it be one hundred and six?" ”

Qing Shu saw her like this, sighed and said, "Don't worry, there is still a palace test!" As long as you do well in the Jingye Hall exam, you will not fall to the top three if you move forward ten places. ”

An An grabbed Qingshu's hand and said, "Sister, please be sure to help you with your business." ”

Qingshu didn't refuse, but said: "If your brother-in-law has time, I don't need to say that he also helps with the business, but you also know that he has been so busy that he can't go back to his home recently." But don't worry, as long as he's at home, I'll let him go over and guide him. ”

Huzi looked at her like this, and didn't dare to say anything else.

After being relieved for a long time, An An calmed down and went back.

After she left, Qingshu asked, "Mei Yihang and Yan Gongzi, how many of them have passed the exam?" ”

Huzi grinned and said, "Madam, all five of you have passed the exam." Among them, Mei Gongzi took the third place, and the second son of the Yan family took the fifth place. ”

The second son of the Yan family is also Mr. Yan's own grandson, and Mr. Yan's nephew also took the forty-ninth exam. As for Qi Yixin, he took the eighty-one exam, and Tan Jingye scored the worst among the five people. However, this is also expected, because among the five people, Tan Jingye's knowledge is at the bottom.

Honggu was a little incredible: "Mei Gongzi took the third place in the exam?" ”

Hu Zile said happily: "Yes, I have read it three times, and the name and age of my place of origin are all right." ”

Qingshu was also very happy. Mei Yihang not only passed the test but also did so well, then her house can be sold at a higher price.

An hour later, Mei Yihang's wife, Xiangshi, came over to see Qingshu. She came over this time not only to send the promised 10,000 taels of silver, but also to let Mei Yihang live for a while.

Whether it is Hao Sanchao or the Xiang family, they just hope to borrow the Feng Shui treasure of the Fu family to go to Mei Yihang's bad luck and successfully complete the exam, and they don't have the luxury of expecting good results, as long as they pass the exam, even the top three are happy. No one expected to get the third place in the exam and get into the first class, and the whole family was crazy after getting this result.

After the excitement, Hao Sanchao felt more and more that Fu Mansion was a treasure of feng shui. So he wanted Mei Yihang to continue to live in the Fu family and stay until the palace was finished and then go home.

Xiang couldn't agree more. Although her husband took the third place in the exam, who knows if he can successfully participate in the palace exam with his luck, and he still lives in the Fu family insurance.

Qingshu said with a smile: "Actually, Mei Jinshi was able to do so well in the exam because he himself had learned people, and we didn't help anything." ”

Xiang presented one of the things he had brought, and said, "I heard that Mrs. Fu likes to collect calligraphy, this calligraphy was inadvertently bought by my uncle back then, I hope Mrs. Fu can like it." ”

Looking at her painful face, Qingshu became interested. When Honggu put the things in her hands, Qingshu understood why the Xiang family was so reluctant. This copybook is Wang Xianzhi's "Luo Shen Fu", not a rubbing, but a genuine handiwork.

Qingshu opened it and looked at it, and said, "A gentleman doesn't take people's favor." If you want Mei Jinshi to live in the palace after the examination, you can just follow the previous rules. ”

I used to live for half a month and received 10,000 taels of silver, but this time Qingshu gave a discount, and Mei Yihang only received 10,000 taels of silver after living in the palace test. However, she also made a request, that is, she wanted to lend her the calligraphy for a month.

This letter can be used as a family heirloom, the other party is not willing to send her because of the situation, Qingshu will not want it.

Xiang's house was originally not allowed to give this note to Qingshu, but when he heard that Qingshu should not just borrow to observe for a month, how would he refuse.

"Mrs. Fu, can my husband move over tomorrow?"

Qingshu shook his head and said, "It's better to wait for Mei Jinshi to get better and come to live later!" ”

Xiang sincerely thanked Qingshu, and then went back happily.

Fu Jingene came back before the sun had set that day, and when he entered the house, he happened to see Fu Ge'er playing in the yard.

Brother Fu hadn't seen him for several days, so he rushed over and hugged his thigh and said, "Dad, Dad, you went there, Brother Fu missed you so much." ”

Hearing this, Fu Jingene felt guilty.

Waiting for the father and son to enter the house, Basho said: "Master, my wife has been staying in the study since the morning except for dinner and nap time. ”

Because Qingshu said that she was not allowed to disturb her, Honggu only guarded outside the door and did not dare to go in.

Brother Fu pouted and said, "I've been calling my mother outside the door, but she just ignores me." ”

Fu Jingene was a little strange, called Honggu over and asked, "Why did Mrs. stay in the study for so long and didn't come out, but what's the matter?" ”

Honggu smiled and said the reason: "If my wife gets the treasure after getting that copybook, she will be reluctant to come out when she enters the study." I guess my wife should have been fascinated just now, and I didn't hear the young master call her. ”

This means that Fu Jingen's current visit may disturb Qingshu and make him go later.

Fu Jingene nodded, and then called the chief housekeeper: "You personally go to the Qi family to go to the Yan family, and say that if they are willing, they can come to the mansion to live in the palace for the test." ”

The butler went away.

It wasn't until dinner time that Qingshu came out of the study.

Looking at Fu Ge'er's aggrieved appearance, Qingshu touched his head and smiled: "Mother will make golden shrimp balls and lotus root flour cake for you to eat tomorrow." ”

When Brother Fu heard this, a smile immediately bloomed on his face.

Fu Jingene frowned and said: "You can read the calligraphy at any time, you are about to give birth now, you have to pay attention to your body, don't get tired." ”

"I only have a month, and I'll have to return the notebook by this time next month."

Fu Jingene did not object to Qingshu continuing to observe this copybook, but made a request to her: "It must not be more than three hours a day, otherwise I will return the copybook." ”

Qingshu said good-naturedly: "Okay, I listen to you." ”
