"What's the matter with the third master, you should tell me quickly, you are really anxious!" the impatient Fei Ling urged the little eunuch who reported the letter.

The little eunuch's face was ugly, not because of being reprimanded by Fei Ling, but because of what he wanted to report.

"Master, master, the third master is not on the list!"

"What?" Jin Yao stood up in a "crazy" manner, quite surprised.

"Have you seen clearly? Have you looked for everything?"

"Back to master, I dare not lie. I have searched for it more than a dozen times, from the beginning to the end, and I... have not found the third master's name!" The little eunuch's voice became weaker and weaker.

Jinyao didn't have the habit of venting her anger on the little eunuch, but she couldn't believe it.

"Prepare the car, I'll go back to Nianfu to see what's going on!"

The fourth master happened to come back for this matter, and after hearing Jin Yao's words, he said:

"My Lord will go with you!" He also didn't believe that Nian Shunyao would fail the ranking.

"Fourth brother also heard about it? Then I'm afraid it's true!"

After asking Nanny Sun to take good care of Ningchuge and Hongzhi, Jinyao and Fourth Master went to Nianfu.

Nian Gengyao came back from a break on purpose. Originally, he wanted to entertain people who came to congratulate him. He didn't want to get such unexpected news that his genius brother... Luo!list!up!

He felt that there was no more ridiculous news than this!

He believed that with Nian Shunyao's knowledge, even if he couldn't make it to the top two lists, his name would definitely be on the next list, but now he failed the list, there must be something wrong!

Just as he was about to go out, he ran into fourth master and Jinyao.

"You also heard the news?"

"Second brother, where are you going?"

"I'm going to apply for marking, and I want to see what's wrong with your third brother's test." I also want to see how talented the so-called top few are!

Jin Yao's eyes lit up:

"You suspect..."

"Everything has to wait until the papers are borrowed."

Fourth Master sighed:

"I'll go with you. I'll go into the palace and speak to the emperor. It will be easier for you to let him give the oral instructions."

Nian Gengyao was also not polite with fourth master, and the two entered the palace together.

At this time in the palace, Kangxi was also surprised when he received the list.

He didn't know about others, but Nian Shunyao, who had a lot of contact with him, knew it very well. How could he fail the ranking with his knowledge?

But this time the chief examiner swore that there was absolutely no possibility of cheating.

Kangxi didn't argue with him, he just said:

"You pull out Nian Shunyao's test paper, I'll read it before I talk about it!"

The chief examiner froze:

"Nian, Nian Shunyao?"

Kangxi's face dropped: "What? Didn't you say there was no fraud?"

and the examiner on their knees:

"Your Majesty, the servants are telling the truth. There is indeed no cheating. It's just that some examiners accidentally set the paper on fire while grading the test papers. In order to fight the fire, some examinees' test papers were soaked in water..."

He is really wronged, the names of the papers are all blurred, and he doesn't know who's destroyed. Every year, some accidents happen. There is also an uncle hiding, who has real knowledge and has registered in front of the emperor. When he checked the list just now and knew the news, he knew that something was going to happen. Sure enough, the emperor asked.

"Bastard! Why didn't you report this kind of thing earlier? Now that the list is posted, it is said, what does it mean to accidentally light the paper? And you say this is not a fraud? Come on, let me drag it down, and beheaded at the Meridian Gate tomorrow. Tomorrow Canonical punishment!"

The chief examiner was frightened and stupid at the time, he was not the main criminal, but he bore all the anger of the emperor, and now he was going to be beheaded, begging for mercy repeatedly.

Kangxi ignored the confused minister, he mishandled such things, and thought he would give him a chance to argue?dream!

To say that the chief examiner was really unlucky and implicated.

As I said before, there will be more or less small accidents every year in the scientific examination. As long as there are not many people involved and there is no trouble, most of them will not make trouble in front of the emperor.

Unexpectedly, this year, Nian Shunyao's roll was smeared and there was no result, so it was revealed.

Since he stabilized the imperial court, Kangxi has mostly implemented benevolent government. It is rare that he beheaded directly without going through the three divisions. It is obvious that he attaches great importance to the imperial examination and hates fraud.

"Li Dequan!"

"The slave is here!" After borrowing Jinyao's auspicious words and sharing the troubles with the emperor, Li Dequan really became the chief eunuch and won the emperor's favor. His master Liang Jiugong retired.

"Hurry up and check at the entrance of the Gong Yuan, and appease the candidates who failed the exam. After the trial of this scientific examination case is clear, the course will be reopened!"

"Whoo!"

However, before Li Dequan went out, a minister ran in and rushed in:

"Your majesty, there are many candidates cheating in the examination hall. Several famous students from Jiangnan unexpectedly failed the examination. They are not convinced and suspect that... When the servant entered the palace, he heard that the examinee had been killed at the gate of the tribute courtyard. , to die..." The minister didn't dare to say anything.

Kangxi was so angry that his blood was surging, Li Dequan didn't go out in a hurry, and quickly stepped forward to support him:

"The emperor calm down!"

At this time, fourth master and Nian Gengyao entered the palace.

The emperor directly ordered Nian Gengyao:

"Take my handbook and go to the Infantry Yamen to raise five thousand soldiers and assist the admiral of the Nine Gates to manage the security in the city!"

Nian Gengyao had nothing else to say, so he took the letter:

"The slave leads the order!"

"Prince Yong come in!"

"Emperor Ama!"

"This case is handed over to you for trial, arrest all the examiners this time, and find out the reason behind it!"

"My son obeys the order!" The fourth master took the order and went directly to the Ministry of punishment to execute it without the slightest hesitation.

"Prince Xuan Cheng enters the palace! Xuan Zhang Tingyu and others enter the palace to discuss matters!"

A series of decrees spread from Qianqing Palace to various places.

Jinyao received the letter sent by the fourth master, and looked at Nian Shunyao speechlessly. Is her third brother so unlucky?

Nian Shunyao was calm and didn't need anyone to comfort him. He read his book by himself and wrote down "notes" from time to time.

Jin Yao is curious:

"Don't you regret it? When you first found out that you failed the ranking?"

"If you have any regrets, don't regret it. If you pass the exam, you will complete your plan. Whether you pass the exam or not is another matter, and it is not in the plan."

"..." What Martian language are you talking about?

Jinyao understood what he meant, and she was relieved knowing that he was not sad or disappointed, and stood up:

"Then I'll go back first. The children are at home. They should look for them after leaving for too long."

"You are busy with your business, don't worry about it, there will be a follow-up, just wait and see the result."

"..." Okay, you're in a good mood.

When Jinyao returned to the palace, she happened to come across Wu Ya and Song who was about to leave Wu Ya and Song.

Wu Ya and Song had obviously heard about Nian Shunyao's failure. Seeing that Jinyao was busy asking people to stop the sedan chair, but they didn't even get off the sedan chair, they asked:

"Sister-in-law Nian, did you enter the government last year? Did your third brother pass the exam?"

Jin Yao glanced at her lightly:

"It's better for Miss Wu Ya to call me Cousin or Jin Fujin, otherwise when I first heard it, I would think it was some sibling calling me, and I was stunned, and I would have to react for a long time."

"You!" Wu Ya and Song didn't expect Jin Yao to be so disrespectful to her. Thinking about how polite Nala was to her, this Nian dared to treat her like this. She has never suffered such humiliation at such a young age. , said coldly:

"I have seen the way of hospitality in the Fourth Prince's Mansion, and I will definitely have a good talk with my aunt when I go to the palace!" Emphasis was placed on the four words "Talk well".

Jin Yao looked at her in surprise, and when He Song was proud that she would succumb, she said:

"Could it be that someone sent you a post to invite you to come to the house as a guest? It shouldn't be, I am in charge of the house now, and all guests have to pass my eyes to welcome in. Could it be that I remembered wrongly?"

"The master remembers correctly, all the posts were sent from the servants, and they have not been sent to Miss Wu Ya recently!" Xizhi stepped forward and said.

Jin Yao nodded, and said to Wu Yahe:

"Miss Wu Ya, come and sit down when you are free. You are the niece of the empress. You are a guest with or without a post. We welcome you! This is going back to the house, right? Go, don't delay it until it gets dark. !"

Putting down the sedan chair curtain, the bearer carried her into the mansion and closed the mansion door.

Seeing the door closing in front of them, Wu Ya and Song couldn't react for a long time.

"No, what happened just now?"

Her girl hesitated and stepped forward:

"Jin Fujin said that you didn't post a post, and you didn't say hello to the wife when you came to the door. This is impolite, and you will lose your empress's face..."

"Shut up! Who asked you this? I mean, isn't she afraid that my aunt and I will sue?"

Ya Toumo, how could she know, but it seems that Jin Fujin is not afraid of Defei.

Wuya and Song, who were full of anger, returned to Wuya Mansion and began to lose their temper. Many servants who saluted on the way were regarded as punching bags by her.

Mrs. Wu Ya, who heard her voice from a long distance, was so angry that her chest hurt.

"You scoundrel, why don't you come in quickly when you come, what are you doing there?"

"It's not that these servants are too shameless, I will teach you a lesson."

"You...you say you don't look like a big girl? You behave casually, speak inappropriately, and behave ridiculously. If you go to the draft like this, you will be rejected in the first round. At that time, the entire Wuya family and the empress will be disgraced. You have to throw them all away!"

It's all the old lady's fault, she said that she was brought up by her side, and she thought she would be a gentle and virtuous girl, but she didn't know how to be so used to it!

If she had known this would happen, she would never agree to take him to Jinling no matter what, and it would be difficult to be upright now.Moreover, she has grown up like this, and she insists on sending her to the draft, making her worry all day long, for fear that she will cause trouble and hurt her siblings.

"You just know to talk about me. It's not wrong for me not to believe in peace. Why don't you talk about her? It's because I didn't raise her by your side, so you look down on me!"

"You! What are you talking about? I am your own mother. I teach you a few words, and you are not happy to face me. Look at whose girl is yelling in the yard of her parents, and she is going to teach her to serve her parents. servant?"

"Then... I don't think they're doing well enough, I'm afraid they won't be able to serve my mother well!" Seeing that her mother was really angry, He Song hurriedly coaxed her.

Mrs. Wu Ya was not fooled by her, she shook her head helplessly:

"You, when you can be half calm and calm, I won't worry about it!"

Although He Song didn't talk back anymore, she was not happy. She didn't like her sister to be gentle. Everyone said that she was better than herself, but she didn't see who was better.

"Where did you go? It's about to be drafted. Why don't you run around at home and learn the rules?"

"Where did I run around? I went to the Fourth Prince's Mansion to play with Mrs. Nala."

Madam Wuya frowned:

"Seldom get in touch with her. She has a bad reputation and is ruthless. Don't accidentally offend her. I'll give you trouble! If you want to find someone to play with, you should also find Nian Shi, who is the best friend of most of the Fujin ladies in the capital. , She is very popular, making friends with her can bring you into their circle quickly, and it will be good for you in the future."

He didn't like to hear these words anymore.

Mrs. Wu Ya couldn't see it, and sighed:

"You can take care of yourself. Your aunt intends to betroth you to the Fourth Prince as a side Fujin. How can I rest assured if you are like this!"
