All Hail Cousin Brother

After three exams in seven days, the closed gate of Gongyuan finally opened.

Beijing was buzzing with excitement.

Yu Shanyan, who was not qualified for the entrance examination, ran to the gate of Gongyuan to feel the atmosphere of Gongyuan in advance. Yu Youyao also wanted to go, but her grandmother did not let her go out.

The students who stayed in the Gongyuan for seven days came out one after another.

On the second day, the children of the Yu clan who participated in the examination came together to greet Mrs. Yu and thank Mrs. Yu for taking care of them these days.

Seeing that they were in good spirits, Mrs. Yu asked, "Is this year's exam difficult? Have you all done it?" She didn't ask if they did well in the exam.

The dozen or so disciples at the bottom were silent. Behind him, a seventeen- or eighteen-year-old boy wanted to come forward and say something, but he taught the people around him to pull him and shook his head at him.

This scene was naturally hidden from Old Madam Yu's eyes, and the hand holding the Buddha beads also paused.

This descendant of La Ren is Yu Shande, the third young master of the lineage of the first chief of the Yu clan, and the most outstanding descendant this time. The Yu residence has high hopes for him. able minister.

At this moment, Yu Shande respectfully stepped forward: "The exam questions this time are the same as usual. The late students are not talented, so they reluctantly do it."

This is a modest word. It is already very impressive to be able to finish it. Madam Yu smiled and said, "That's good. In the next few days, you can rest well and wait for the list with peace of mind." After saying this, she paused. After a pause, he added: "You are still young, most of them are participating in the exam for the first time, don't think too much."

After hearing Mrs. Yu's words, everyone's faces became much more relaxed.

Mrs. Yu left them for lunch, and it was rare to have a feast in the house, so Mrs. Liu asked Yu Youyao to take a look at the big kitchen. When she returned to the north courtyard and passed the lotus pond, she heard someone talking on the other side of the rockery.

It was Yu Shande and another boy whose name seemed to be Yu Shanren.

"Why did you stop me from talking just now?"

"However, I heard someone say something in Jinyulou by chance. I don't know if it's true or not, so I dared to say it outside, don't die?"

"But since this matter has been taught to others, it must not be groundless."

"If you don't have evidence, you shouldn't talk too much."

"However, privately making friends with the examiner, getting the revealed exam questions from the examiner, and agreeing to be teachers and students, and waiting for the students to get their titles on the gold list, they will definitely not forget their mentors. This is clearly fraud in the examinations. Shizi, it's too unfair."

"shut up!"

"I……"

"There is a precedent in the previous dynasties for this kind of agreement on disciples. It was because the sage of the previous dynasties was old and regretted that he could no longer continue to serve the country, so he asked him to accept a few more disciples and cultivate talents for the country, right? It is not clear about the fraud in the scientific examination, you dare to be foolish."

"Can……"

"Who doesn't know in Beijing, Jinyu Building is one of the properties of Weining Houfu. If something happens accidentally, Yufu will be involved."

The rockery was quiet for a while.

After a while: "Don't think too much, maybe it's just an ordinary appointment, it has nothing to do with fraud, and we are backed by Yufu, so it has little influence on us."

"Third brother, I know."

The two left the rockery together, but Yu Youyao on the other side heard her scalp numb, her right eyelid jumped non-stop, and walked around the rockery. Fortunately, there were guests at home, and everyone was busy, the rockery. There was no one else here but her, so she breathed a sigh of relief.

It was agreed that the students should not have anything to do with the Yu Mansion, whether or not it was related to fraud in the scientific examination.

Yu Youyao turned around and went to the North Courtyard, and told Mrs. Yu what she heard word for word.

Mrs. Yu's face was solemn, and she repeatedly asked Yu Youyao not to spread the matter to the outside world, so she sent someone to the second room to find Yao's, let Xie Zongshen go to the big room, and then called Yu Shande and Yu Shanren to the room. , and expelled everyone in the family.

She remembered the strangeness of the two in the hall before.

About touching a cup of tea, Yu Shande and Yu Shanren walked out of the Anshou Hall with shame on their faces, obviously teaching Mrs. Yu a lesson.

After the children in the clan had lunch, they left.

In the afternoon, Yu Zongshen came to the big room, and Mrs. Yu closed the door again and said to Yu Zongshen: "This child Shande is quite a bit of a palace, but in the end he has nothing to do, he is more than cautious, and he is not comprehensive enough. Shanren has an upright and straight-hearted nature, and his temper has become a little more irritable, but he still has some overall perspectives and is worthy of education. I talked to them today, and they also know the importance. After a while, you can go over and reason with them, and the children in the clan will all be I'd love to hear from you."

Yu Zongshen nodded: "The mother will go out, and the son will naturally rest assured."

Mrs. Yu: "It's not necessary to talk to your eldest brother, let him know, he has to jump up and down again, then he will be happy, not only will it be difficult for you, but even the Yu family will be roasted on the fire. "

After waiting for two or three days, Yu Youyao didn't hear the rumors about fraud in the scientific examinations. Instead, the students who participated in the examinations were active in Beijing, meeting friends, talking high, and befriending powerful people. Just waiting. Put on the list.

When this list came out, the students on the list were already Gong Shi and could participate in the Palace Exam in April.

Yu Youyao breathed a sigh of relief, and suddenly remembered the sachet he promised to give to his cousin, and hurriedly fetched the jar of dried flowers in the cellar.

The de-dried apricot flowers are fresh in color, beautiful in pink and white, with a touch of sourness and a touch of sweetness, fresh and layered, suitable for both men and women.

Yu Youyao called Chunxiao: "Go to my box and pick up a sachet to give to my cousin."

After a while, Chun Xiao brought two sachets, one with blue embroidered lotus pattern and one with blue embroidered orchid. The colors were good, but Yu Youyao was not satisfied.

Mother Xu smiled and said, "Isn't my sister studying female red? Why don't you embroider one by yourself and give it to Young Master Biao?"

When Yu Youyao heard this, she quickly shook her head: "No! No, I've only learned female red for a few days. I haven't learned all the needlework, and the embroidery is not good. I taught my cousin to see a joke."

Yu Youyao was not very interested in Nvhong, but Mammy Xu had to learn from her. Every hour for an hour, the first few days, she often pricked her fingers, and her tender fingers were densely filled with blood holes.

Yu Youyao was squeamish and afraid of pain. After she resisted Xu Mama, it was useless, and she realized the reality. In order not to suffer from her fingers, she had to study the female celebrity honestly and earnestly.

Generally speaking, the best age for school girl red is five or six years old, when the bones are tender and flexible.

Yu Youyao is a little older, but she is naturally delicate and soft. After a few days of learning, she has learned a lot of needlework, but she has not embroidered anything seriously.

ps: Weining Houfu exposed the tip of the iceberg, and the line of scientific research fraud was also buried.

Let’s take the imperial examinations: Before taking the imperial examinations, you must take the Tongsheng examination first, and you can officially participate in the imperial examinations when you become a Tongsheng.

The official imperial examinations were divided into: the academy examination (scholars, the first person in the case), the township examination (juren, the first one, Jieyuan), the general examination (gongshi, the first Huiyuan), and the palace examination (the first champion).

Let me say this in particular: the candidates who have finished the general examination are basically the quasi-jinshi. After the palace examination in April, the emperor will re-rank the rankings, first, second, third, Tongjinshi, Shuji Shi, um, it is basically more complicated.

Everyone knows about it, and I will explain some later.
