At night, Gu Jingyun and Zhao Ning had a fever at the same time. Li Baolu had already prepared for it. She picked out the medicine and let Hongtao boil the medicine. She poured a bowl of medicine into it, and then covered it with a quilt. In addition, they took a medicine bath in the afternoon. The cold air came out, and the body temperature went down.

  The two fell asleep for two days, during which time they woke up with soup and gruel.

   On the morning of the third day, Zhao Ning got up refreshed and stretched out in the yard, but Gu Jingyun was still leaning against the window lazily looking at the yard, his face still pale.

  Li Baolu knew that he was born with insufficiency, and he took care of him for more than ten years. Now that he is damaged, it is slower than the average person to recover, so he still cooks a medicated diet to nourish him.

   went to the flower market to buy a lot of flowers and came back to him as a reward, and said with great interest: "When we buy another yard, we will make a garden for you when we get through."

   Zhao Ning heard that his intuition was wrong, and said in a daze: "Brother Gu, shouldn't Brother Gu say this to you?"

   "Aren't you happy that I dote on my brother Jingyun?"

   "Oh, it's really hot eyes," Zheng Xu covered his eyes with his fingers, "Auntie, take it easy, my nephew is still young."

  Shi Wei followed behind him and kept laughing.

   Seeing Baolu's blushing face, Gu Jingyun glanced at them lightly, "Are you here to ask questions?"

   Zheng Xu and Shi Wei touched their noses and smiled, "Actually, we came to see Uncle Gu Shi, didn't we hear that you were ill and worried?"

   "Let Brother Zhao talk to you guys," Gu Jingyun said as he drew his head closer, "I want to rest for a while."

Seeing that he was in a low mood, the three of them immediately retreated their smiling smiles slowly, Zhao Ning was a little confused, and whispered: "Brother Gu is in a better situation than me in the numbered room, why hasn't it recovered after two days? "

   Zheng Xu and Shi Wei looked at each other and pulled him in a low voice: "When Brother Gu entered the examination room, the Gu family had already assigned him..."

  Heart also pulled Qingling to retreat, leaving only the couple in the yard.

  Li Baolu sat beside him and asked, "What's the matter with you?"

  Gu Jingyun reached out and held hers, "I just feel a little tired and want to rest quietly for a while."

   "I'll lend you my shoulder."

  Gu Jingyun turned his head to look at his wife's small shoulder for a while, and finally leaned down.

Gu Jingyun looked at the trees in the courtyard that had begun to sprout green, and said in a low voice, "Spring is here, the climate in Qiongzhou is just right at this time, and I don't know if Niuniu, the jacket we sent, is wearing it, the child grows fast, she I didn't wear it last year, and I might not be able to wear it until winter."

   "Skirts are still the most comfortable to wear in spring and autumn. We will send them some more beautiful fabrics and give them two albums of Beijing's fashionable pictures, and my aunt and mother can make them."

   "Reorganize the property in hand, rent a small yard in the south of the city, and let them live when your second uncle arrives."

Gu Jingyun's topic jumped too fast, Li Baolu didn't understand why he brought this up suddenly, but she still nodded and said, "Okay, I was about to tell you that the property allocated to us is either a loss or a balance, and there is almost no surplus. , so I want to call the stewards to rectify it."

"No need," Gu Jingyun said lightly: "Whether it's a loss or a balance, we will all be dismissed, and we will re-appoint. Whether it is a shop or a villa operation, we need funds, and we don't have any money, so we must first get them from them. Take it, so that you can know who is loyal and who is traitor."

   "Are you going to hire a thug?"

   "No need, just borrow it from Senior Brother, he's good at that."

   Li Baolu wrinkled her nose and said, "Will my uncle be angry when he returns to Beijing? We have hired him a big disciple for nothing."

   "This is already Wei Cong's obsession. I accepted this apprentice for my uncle."

  Li Baolu twitched the corners of his mouth, the eldest apprentice can also be messed up?

   "Then do you think my brother can pass the exam this time?"

   "Yes, but the ranking will not be very good," Gu Jingyun said firmly: "The emperor has a small mind and will not give him a good ranking."

   "What about you?" Li Baolu asked worriedly, Gu Jingyun was Qin Xinfang's nephew.

   Gu Jingyun was silent for a while before saying: "I don't know, it all depends on the emperor's mood. If he is in a good mood, my grades should be as much as possible. If he is in a bad mood..."

   If he is in a bad mood, his ranking may fall to the top two.

   After all, his test paper results are there, and the emperor is not good to belittle him too much.

At this time, the emperor's grandson was watching the emperor carefully, and seeing that he was in a good mood, especially when Peng Ge was recalling the past with him just now, Li An immediately came out and laughed: "Grandfather, three days have passed since the end of the Spring Festival, the test paper should be The review is almost done, do you want to take a look?"

The    emperor glanced at Li An who was eager to try, and smiled lightly: "I'm afraid you want to see it, right?"

  Li An embarrassedly bowed his head, "My grandson hasn't seen it before, I just want to learn from the emperor's grandfather."

  The emperor lowered his head and thought for a while. He felt much better today. He might as well go to the Gongyuan to take a look. After all, the selection of scholars is a matter of national importance.

   "Then you can follow along," the emperor looked around and said to his sons and Peng Ge, "Come with me to see what outstanding students there are this year."

  The fourth prince immediately took the lead and responded with a "yes".

  Everyone went to the Gongyuan in a mighty way. The Gongyuan was busy. The invigilators were intensively marking the test papers. On the other side of the house, many secretaries were sitting and copying the test papers.

The test papers sent out in the examination room are all things that can know personal information, such as the birthplace name, etc. These test papers will be randomly distributed to the hands of the clerks, who will copy them in block letters, write the labels, and then hand them over to the invigilator. Review.

Each test paper needs to be scored by two invigilators. If the scores given are too different, the other two invigilators will review it again, and the main invigilator will review it again. If it is determined that there is no problem, then remove the highest score. , a minimum score, take the average of the two in the middle as the grade.

   At the end of the scoring, there is also a paper score, which is to find out the original test paper when the final score is counted, and enter the score while scoring.

  Because the score is clear at a glance, the two examiners will rarely find differences, so there is no need to take precautions at this point.

  The clerk had to copy one copy of each test paper they received. Now they copied the last batch, which was also a poem, and the score was not heavy.

   And the examiners also graded the papers almost, the best papers are put aside separately, and the top three will be selected from these papers.

When the emperor came, he was looking at these exam papers. He picked up the strategy and theory of the last exam paper and couldn't help but applaud: "Okay, my big Chu really is a talented person. Find out this person's original papers, I want to. See who it is."

   This is not in compliance with the regulations, but any regulations are void in front of the emperor, he himself is the regulations, so the examiners did not hesitate, and took the secretary to find the original volume and hand it to the emperor.

The emperor first admired the font on the paper, touched his beard and said with satisfaction: "The pen is strong and strong, and it is rare to have good words. All the words are like people. It seems that this student is still a magnanimous and arrogant. people accept."

   After saying that, he tore off the seal with a "hiss". The emperor was slightly silent when he saw the name of his native place on the test paper.

The chief examiner, the head of the Hanlin Academy, was standing beside the emperor. As soon as the seal was removed, he could see the name on it, and he sighed slightly: "I didn't expect it to be him, but he is indeed a child raised by him, at a young age. That's the kind of knowledge."

  The emperor took the test paper and threw it, and it was not good if he didn't throw it. After a while, he sneered: "Find out all the original papers of Gu Jingyun, and I want to see it for myself."

   Ang Lee stepped aside early to load up the quails, not moving.

  Gu Jingyun's exam papers were quickly found, and the emperor read them one by one. He was indeed very good.

  The emperor thought to himself that this test paper was even worse than Qin Xinfang back then.

  The emperor looked at the test paper with complicated eyes. He didn't know whether to let it go or suppress it.

   He feels magnanimous, there is really no need to target a child, and he has already said all his words just now.

  The emperor was really distressed, and when he looked up, he saw Li Anbai standing there with his head bowed in boredom, and the words Gu Jingyun said when he faced the saint poured into his heart again.

   He wanted to find a backer, he wanted to be Taisun's teacher.

  The emperor rolled his eyes, coughed and said, "Yes, it is indeed a formidable future generation, and the other test papers are also good, find them all and show them to me."

   So the clerks went to find the originals of several other exam papers.

The emperor tore off the seal with a smile, and finally his face sank when he saw a test paper, he dropped Gu Jingyun's test paper, picked up the copy, and waited for the examiner to say, "Can this test paper also get into the top few? ?"

The examiner glanced at it, understood it in his heart, and explained: "Go back to your majesty, we have selected fifty test papers in total, and then selected fifteen out of the fifty. Not bad in the test papers, so I barely made it to the top fifteen."

   "But I remember that Wei Cong is insane. Are you sure he is qualified for an official position?"

   The examiner twitched the corners of his mouth and said, "Your Majesty, this minister only examines the examination papers, not the people. Since Wei Cong can apply for the name, it means that it is just a rumor, and it is not credible."

The emperor pouted, he still couldn't forget the hatred that Wei Cong cursed at his palace back then, huh, because he was worried about the historian's writing, and because of the special situation, he turned a blind eye and let him go , Now that there is an opportunity for revenge, how could the emperor be willing to give up?

He was about to eliminate this test paper when the **** behind him leaned in and whispered: "Your Majesty, this Wei Cong is a scumbag, if he is a great man, you can neither beat him nor scold him, but if he is official……"

  The emperor moved in his heart, if Wei Cong was an official, why not let him handle it?

The    emperor immediately changed his mind and left his test paper and said arrogantly: "But I don't think his test paper is very good. It would be good to get two or three hundred at most."

   The examiner's face turned blue, wouldn't he be a Tongjinshi?

  The emperor coughed uncomfortably, and let him step forward: "Other people's test papers are good, you can choose the best three from them, and then I will give you some Huiyuan."

   The examiner's face was a little better, and when he looked at Gu Jingyun's test paper, it was a little complicated. He didn't expect Gu Jingyun to do so well in the test, and he didn't expect the emperor to let his test paper go, but that's fine...

  The chief examiner discussed with the other examiners and sent the three exam papers with the best public evaluations to the emperor, and Gu Jingyun's was among them.
