I am the cook, but I am Li Er's son-in-law

Chunwei is the most lively event in the spring of the Tang Dynasty, especially once every two years, it is worth paying attention to, especially this year's Chunwei, more people pay attention.

This spring, there is a pioneering decision.

His Majesty will personally test the winners.

This made many students who didn't plan to participate in the Spring Festival this year, but also resolutely devoted themselves to the great cause of the imperial examination. It would be such an honor to be selected as the number one scholar by His Majesty himself.

Tongfu Restaurant has almost become a study room for these students.

There is no place like this in Chang'an anymore - the environment is good, there are many scholars, and the food is good, but the price is a little expensive.

But... is expensive a downside?

Obviously, they find it expensive, which is their downside.

At this time, they became envious of the fellows of Tongfu restaurant. Whenever the spring came, Yin Xuan and the guests in the restaurant became extra tolerant towards them.

The sky is big, the earth is big, the future is always the most important.

It's just an accident this year.

Just when many students of Tongfu Academy were gearing up to take over as employees of Tongfu Restaurant, they discovered this accident——Di Renjie didn't take the imperial examination!
Ask why.

Di Renjie spoke frankly, what are you talking about... I am still young, even if I participate in it, I will not get any good grades. Instead of going in and barely getting a place in the list, I will lose both my own and the society. It is even worse for my future, so it is better to study for another two years.

A bunch of people gritted their teeth in hatred.

They took Di Renjie out and bullied him, and some people threatened that when Di Renjie got on the list later, they would take him to Pingkangfang to see the world.

This... dirty talk is probably a good thing for ordinary people.

But Di Renjie is not as old as Yin Lulu, even if this matter is just empty words, it is exciting enough for him, and...and he is a celebrity, can a celebrity go to that kind of place?
Even if you go, can you say it with such fanfare?

Is it bad to be sneaky and whisper?
On the day of Chunwei, the city of Chang'an was quiet for several minutes. Everyone knew that this was the young lady of the Yin family participating in the imperial examination. No one dared to make too much noise for fear of disturbing Yin Lulu.

Except for the local hooligans, most people in Chang'an City love Yin Lulu. Who wouldn't like such a quirky little girl who can help them solve many problems?
After Chunwei.

Yin Lulu became quiet.

She still reads with a straight face every day, causing many people to speculate whether Yin Lulu... didn't perform well enough, that's why she has such a posture.

On the contrary, after the end, the atmosphere in the restaurant became more tense.

The original relaxation and relaxation did not happen.

The scholars still maintained the appearance of studying hard in front of Chunwei, which made the diners who came and went a little surprised. Why... Could it be that they remembered the wrong date?
It wasn't actually Chunwei some time ago?
Or... the scholars of Tongfu Academy have already reached this level?The spring has just ended, so you started preparing for the spring two years in advance?

The guests of the restaurant were not used to it, but within two days, the restaurant returned to its usual appearance.

Those who read still read.

Playing and playing, still playing and playing.

This was Li Yuan's start. In the first half month of Chunwei, he had to take care of Chunwei's students, especially Yin Lulu's emotions. He didn't dare to shout, but he was suffocated.

He even bluntly said that the most fundamental reason why he lost so much in that half month was that he didn't play well, and he had to whisper when he was touched.

Although…

Now that the volume is not restricted, Li Yuan still eats things like Hu, which probably has nothing to do with him.

The day of the announcement finally arrived.

The results of the Tongfu Academy are getting better and better. Nearly half of the students on the list this time are students of the Tongfu Academy.

This time the imperial examination reached a new high. Unlike Ji Wen's session, this time there were 26 candidates on the list of talents, and the champion was a middle-aged man from the Cui family.

Yin Lulu's grades were also very good. She was ranked second in the list of scholars, and she was the second place in the list of talents this time.

The people of Tongfu Academy are very happy.

Especially those scholars in the Hanlin Academy who have broken their hearts because of Yin Lulu are even more relieved now that they have not wasted their hard work during this period of time.

No matter who is placed second in high school, it is a great achievement, not to mention Yin Lulu's age and Yin Lulu is a woman.

It's just... Yin Lulu was not very satisfied. She stared at the champion's name for several minutes, gritted her teeth, and turned her head to look at the crowd.

She wanted to find someone who... was better than herself.

She is convinced, but she does not admit defeat!
Li Zhi looked at the list and heaved a sigh of relief. His grades were very unremarkable. Although he entered the talent department, his grades were the worst among the 26 people, ranking No. 20 among the six.

But no matter how bad it is, it belongs to the talented Corey.

He is one of the 26 candidates with the best comprehensive qualities in this session.

In fact, in the eyes of most people, the news that Li Zhi passed the examination of the scholar department was much more shocking than the news that Yin Lulu got the second place.

Suddenly, the wind blew off one person's hat, rolled forward, and stopped at the feet of the outermost crowd.

The man sighed helplessly, picked up his hat, and looked into the crowd.

They circled those lists, like... the airflow surrounds the eye of the storm.

In the imperial city.

Li Shimin squinted his eyes and looked at Li Zhi's papers. A smile could not be restrained from the corner of his mouth, but his voice was still cold and indifferent: "We are good... you are listed in the talent department, what can you do in secret? To fool me?"

Several officials from the Ministry of Rites and the Imperial Academy standing in front of Li Shimin shook their heads repeatedly: "I dare not wait."

Of course not.

Even...they wished they could find out Li Zhi's papers in advance, so that Li Zhi's name would be lost.

Li Shimin is also aware of this, he just asked knowingly.

Half of the officials of the Ministry of Rites standing in front of him were those who had stated their support for Li Tai as the crown prince in the court hall, and they were all Li Tai's supporters.

How could they choose to deliberately praise Li Zhi.

"I know you guys don't have the guts." Li Shimin nodded, flipped through the papers, and asked, "How are you preparing for the imperial examination?"

"Everything is in place," a Ministry of Rites official replied.

The palace examination in the Tang Dynasty is still slightly different from the palace examination in later generations.

It was drafted hastily, and Li Shimin didn't think about it. In other words, he didn't bother to take the power to determine the results of these candidates in his own hands.

especially…

This time, there is also his own son and Yin Xuan's younger sister.

If the two of them performed well, should I give them a good grade, or not give them a good grade?

"Bring them tomorrow." Li Shimin waved his hand and smiled.
