Chapter 251: Palace Selection
The next day, the exam results were released, and a piece of brightly colored red paper was pasted on the bulletin board. On the bulletin board, there were very few names on the black and gold questions. According to a rough estimate, there are about two to three thousand people who participated in the exam this year, and the list There are only about three hundred names.
Except for the first place, the names of the others are stacked together, and you need to look carefully to find your own name.
Everyone was scrambling for red eyes, and those who managed to squeeze in but didn't see their names could only beat their chests and think about taking the exam next year or going home to farm.
Those who passed the exam cheered happily on the spot. The probability of being one in a hundred naturally made people jealous.
Jinshi still had three days to prepare for the imperial examination, so Xu Ziqiao was not in a hurry to see it, but Li Ji felt that he didn't want to see it and was not bothered, but when others informed him that he was on the list, he immediately rushed to the inn Shared the good news with Xu Ziqiao.
"Brother Xu! I've heard people say that you are the Huiyuan of this year! You already accounted for two of the three yuan. It seems that you are very close to Feihuang Tengda!" Li Ji's heart could fly to the sky at this moment, Nothing excites him more than being on the list.
In contrast, Xu Ziqiao was much calmer, "Don't talk too soon, what are
you doing so happily ." I can only get the top three, and I will honor my ancestors in this life." Li Ji jumped up and down happily when he said that, completely forgetting whether the palace examination was the first choice.
It is actually a joyful thing to be admitted to the Gongshi. Xu Ziqiao was so calm, and he could understand Li Ji's mood, so he didn't continue to pour cold water on him, but just glanced at him and shook his head helplessly.
"Hey, sister-in-law, I'm happy to have passed the exam. I'll treat you to some snacks!" Li Ji grabbed a handful of melon seeds and licked them. You know, if you can get into the top three, you will have a subsidy in your life.
"Don't think too much about the money you have on your body. The Hou Mansion has helped us a lot during this time. She went to the Hou Mansion to give gifts." Xu Ziqiao also took an apple and wiped it, and took a bite.
"Why is my sister-in-law going out at this time? Brother Xu, I didn't mean you. Although that Qi Zhengxi looks as good as you, but his family is huge, you have to take good care of your sister-in-law." Li Ji muttered a few words, seeing Xu Ziqiao After the color got worse, he quickly closed his mouth, "No, he didn't mean that to me. You see, you are already a member of the elite anyway, and you must not be far from the champion. By then, you may not be as good as the second generation ancestor. That's not right."
Looking at Li Ji with apologetic smiles, Xu Ziqiao didn't care to talk to him, and now he was indeed inferior to Qi Zhengxi, but he wouldn't hand over Lin Huiru to others.
"You don't need to meddle in your own business. If you have the time, you should go back and read more books. You have already reached this point if you get embarrassed in the imperial examination. It would be a pity to fail." Xu Ziqiao said, putting the apple that he had bitten into On one side, turned around and went to the window, opened the window and looked down.
"Brother Xu, I really made a mistake just now, don't mind, I will definitely change it in the future, not to mention I don't know who my sister-in-law is, don't you know?" Li Ji felt cold behind his back, and quickly joined in Apologize in the past.
At this moment, Lin Huiru, who was sitting in Pingyang Hou's mansion, sneezed twice in a row, and Qi Zhengxi couldn't help frowning, "But did
you catch the wind and cold?" , to express my gratitude for your kindness for helping me many times in the past few days." After Lin Huiru finished speaking, she opened one of the wooden boxes.
There was a set of cosmetics neatly placed inside, and some things were too modern in design and she didn't put them in, "I believe Madam will understand the usefulness of these things after seeing them, and this is the perfume that was popular in the capital some time ago, so I don't have much to prepare." I hope you don't dislike such a small gift."
"Miss Lin, this is not a gift for me, but a gift for my mother." Qi Zhengxi said helplessly, but his eyes lit up, after all, the market price of this thing is more than a thousand taels, Lin Hui As in the past, he was the one who bargained with dozens of taels, how could he easily take out two sets of rare things, "But this perfume is too expensive, I can pass on other things on my behalf."
"The other day I saw that my son was worried about what to give, and I have received a lot of favors these days, so I wanted to help you reduce your worries. As for this perfume... I hope you don't want to pursue it." Lin Huiru suddenly I feel that she seems to have a wicked intention, so it's a little strange to give things to my mother and aunt... "I'm sorry that
I've worked so hard for so long, but I don't have a single thing?" up.
Lin Huiru was slightly embarrassed. She really didn't know what to give a man. Seeing her embarrassed look, Qi Zhengxi stopped teasing her, "Don't take it to heart, Miss Lin, it's just a joke, and I There is nothing lacking or liking, so I won't bother Miss Lin. My mother and aunt must be very happy when they see these things." She didn't mean to make
Qi Zhengxi's family members happy!
At this moment, Lin Hui Ru suddenly felt aggrieved that could not be articulated with a hundred mouths, but Qi Zhengxi kept leading the topic away.
"By the way, I heard that Miss Lin's husband is this year's Huiyuan, congratulations." Qi Zhengxi didn't expect that their Marquis Mansion would win over a Huiyuan.
Lin Huiru was also taken aback for a moment. She originally wanted to watch the rankings with Xu Ziqiao to celebrate after going to the meeting, but she didn't expect Qi Zhengxi to cheer her up first.
But it's certainly something to celebrate.
"Thank you for reminding me, because there are so many people, we haven't had time to see it yet. With the words of my son, it can make the body less crowded." Lin Huiru hurriedly thanked.
"I also want to thank you. The power in the court is gradually leaning towards the princes. If we can have talented people to protect your majesty, our court will be more prosperous." Although Qi Zhengxi was being polite, Xu Ziqiao had defected to them in Pingyang. It is indeed a great joy to get a future Yijia in the Hou Mansion.
Lin Huiru waved her hand, "I'm just a girl, it's good for my son and my husband to talk about these things freely, I'm afraid it's difficult to talk about court affairs with my son."
"That's right, how did Miss Lin choose her shop?" Qi Zhengxi nodded thoughtfully, and asked with a helpless smile. How could he talk about court affairs with women? Even though Lin Huiru was smart, it would be unrefined.
