Chapter 303
"When the old slave came back just now, she happened to meet mother Luo who sent the two girls back to the Qin house. Mother Luo said to the old slave... On the way back to the house, the two girls met the second lady of the count of Shoushan house..."
"The second girl pretended to be angry and climbed the spring apricot of our house to a high branch. She wanted to be a good concubine in the Shangshu house of the Ministry of household, but stole the relics of the first queen... She said she wanted to take it as her own dowry, and said she would go back to the house to check whether there were any servants and maidservants arranged by our white house who were related to this spring apricot. Some words can't be used."
Mother Tong said with a smile: "two girls are worried about what Chunxing will do in the future. Others are on the head of the big girl and get rid of the big girl in advance. Two girls are really intentional!"
Bai Qingyan smiled at the corner of his lips: "Chunxing... Can't go to Shangshu house to be a good concubine."
Mother Tong didn't ask why Chunxing couldn't be a good concubine. Since their eldest girl said Chunxing couldn't do it, Chunxing certainly couldn't.
I don't know why, mother Tong thought of the mother who protected Chunxing today. If Chunxing mother knew that Chunxing couldn't marry into the Shangshu house, she lost her identity as a close girl around the princess, and later no noble family dared to use Chunxing family, what would Chunxing mother do to Chunxing?
Today, Bai Qingyan said it once in front of the emperor and in front of the crown prince and the Minister of household Chu Zhongxing. No matter what Chu Zhongxing and Li Mao want to do with spring apricot, spring apricot can only be a waste of chess.
If it's true, Chunxing hasn't done anything wrong to her, but Bai Qingyan can't put the safety of the whole family in danger. When he knows that Li Mao and Chu Zhongxing may harm the Bai family with Chunxing... Or her, let Chunxing go.
Just like when my grandfather let Lu Tianzhuo go because of a little compassion, but Lu Tianzhuo... Wanted Xiao Jiu's life and her life.
Therefore, compassion and kindness are two things that only the absolutely strong and saints and gentlemen are qualified to give. Now she is just a helpless mayfly in the current situation. She doesn't have so much compassion to others. If she has this heart, she should have more compassion for herself and her family.
Although the crisis of Chunxing has been solved, if Li Mao and Chu Zhongxing really want to fight her, she only wastes one Chunxing and doesn't let them hurt their muscles and bones. Who knows what else is waiting for her?
Behind her is the orphan mother of the Bai family? If Li Mao and Chu Zhongxing make trouble again after leaving Dadu, she will be out of reach.
"Mammy, you asked Uncle Ping to send more reliable people? Go to the restaurants where the candidates have the most footholds at the time of the meeting to inquire? Are there any talented candidates? They have great prestige among the candidates... But they will fail in the meeting." Bai Qingyan turned to look at mammy Tong and said slowly, "who of them has complained? Think someone doesn't deserve the name!"
Every spring, there are candidates who think highly of themselves who are not convinced? Every spring, there are people practicing favoritism and malpractice, but no one is willing to do that early bird to pick things out. There were people in their early 30s... Or they disappeared into the world by accident? Or bend your knees in front of gold and silver power.
These years? The xungui family has repeatedly bribed the examiner in the scientific examination? The coefficient of these imperial examinations... Fewer and fewer children of poor families have made it to the top.
In previous years, the xungui aristocratic family became popular with bribery, but it has been uncontrolled? Will it only get worse this year? I'm afraid the poor children want to come out this time? Even more difficult.
Although Bai Qingyan has just started to prepare, it's not too late.
If the imperial examination finds fraud, the examiner, academician Wen zhenkang... Zuo Xiang will certainly lose Wen zhenkang who can speak in front of the emperor? The left phase is like a broken arm.
Bai Qingyan's eyes are as deep as water? Since Li Mao's hand is so long? Reach out to her? Then she wants Li Mao to feel the pain of breaking his hand.
"In addition, someone will be sent to secretly stare at Dadu city... This time, there are Xun GUI and official families of descendants' palace examiners to see who purchases a large amount of red paper and artillery for reward in advance and is preparing a banquet." Bai Qingyan thought about it and added? "Ask who's going to buy a lot of rice and prepare porridge before the end of the hall test..."
In the past, Xun GUI's family, whose descendants could go to the palace examination, would prepare some reward wrapped in red paper, prepare artillery, and prepare a banquet at home. When the examination was over, when they felt they could occupy a place in Yijia, they immediately sent people to buy a large amount of rice, and celebrate the day when the list was released. If the first few in Erjia... Naturally, they should celebrate with joy.
If it falls in the top three, it means to scatter some wedding money.
In recent years, it has become a common practice for xungui family to pay bribes in the imperial examination. No one dares to come forward and no one is willing to control it. Now the style of the family is more and more unscrupulous. Most of them will prepare means to celebrate before releasing the list, so as not to be caught by surprise or be among the best. If other people don't have a lively style, they will be criticized.
Therefore, if we spy on the purchasing trends of these noble families, we can guess who will be in the top ten.
Mother Tong nodded, "I understand."
The next day was the palace examination. After the second lady Liu confessed that Jinxiu and Qin Lang had left, she plunged into the small Buddhist Hall of the fourth Lady Wang and worshipped the Buddha with the fourth Lady Wang.
At the dinner time, the big guy gathered together with the eldest princess. When having dinner, the third lady Li talked about it to the eldest princess. The second lady Liu only said, hugging Buddha's feet and asking for peace of mind.
In the evening, even Dong worshipped the god Buddha and asked the god Buddha to bless Dong Changyuan and Qin Lang to take the lead.
Liu tossed and turned. The next day, he sent several groups of people to explore. Liu was not relieved until Cuibi around Bai Jinxiu sent a reply.
The palace exam is much more comfortable than the previous exams. After all, it is in front of the emperor.
The Emperor gave a test question, sat on a high dragon chair and drank tea with a cup of tea. He looked at the young talent sitting in front of him in the hall, and he vaguely felt that he was old.
The emperor was too lazy to walk down as usual and waved his hand to the crown prince.
Because Qin Lang is Bai Qingyan's brother-in-law, the prince stayed with Qin Lang for a while. He didn't seriously look at what Qin Lang wrote. He just felt that Qin Lang's handwriting was very beautiful and clean.
After the palace test, Liu sent someone to ask about the situation. Qin Lang said that although he didn't know what ranking he could get, he asked himself that he had answered the best he could, but there were a lot of talents in the palace test. What ranking he could get depends on God's will.
Bai Qingyan felt that Qin Lang's ranking would not be low.
Qin Lang was put forward separately today and praised as an exemplary figure for the children of the aristocratic family. Naturally, the examiner wanted to sell today's face.
The gold list will be posted the next day.
