Chapter 869

At noon, there were snowflakes in the sky, and the snow was a bit heavy. Yang Xi was sitting in the warm shed reading a book, and she could see the snow outside through the glass window.

Zilu put chestnuts in his hand and roasted them on the charcoal stove, and he didn't stay idle, "Mother, are you not worried about big brother?"

The eldest brother got the No.2 result, he lost the bet, and many people who believed in the eldest brother also lost a lot of money. These days, they often say bitter things about the eldest brother. Parents advocate Xinxue eldest brother who has not passed the exam and is a Fuzhou native who has not entered the Zhou family school.

Anyway, there are quite a lot of words like this, and he would be annoyed when he listened to them at first, but he would find it boring after hearing too much. Some of these people are envious of the elder brother's background and resources, but they are just purely jealous.

Zilu didn't get a reply from his mother, but when he looked up, his mother's thoughts were all in the book.

Zilu leaned over, "Experienced on the voyage? When will the bookstore release new books?"

Yang Xi was disturbed by his youngest son, so he stretched out his hand and pinched his son's ear, "You said that you have been by my side since the morning and chattered, and you can't even talk about the annoying cicadas this summer."

Zilu covered his ears, "That's because my son misses my elder brother."

In the end, the father and mother are fine, father and Mr. Qian have an appointment to go out to meet friends, mother has been holding a book in her hand all morning, the two are not worried about the big brother and Zhenyuan at all!

The eldest brother is No.2, and Zhenyuan ranks lower than No.20!

Yang Xi let go of her hand, "This is a book written by Hu Jiao, and it's just a sample right now."

Zilu heard, "Is this a sample that hasn't been deleted?"

"Well, some information that cannot be printed will be deleted. At present, only a few samples of the full version have been printed. Two copies are in the palace, and one is here with me."

Zilu admired Aunt Hu Jiao very much, "As a woman, she became a big businessman, and now she writes her autobiography. Aunt Hu Jiao is really amazing."

Yang Xi stroked the writing slowly, "Yes, she is a very remarkable woman."

Zilu's eyes rolled, "Mother, Aunt Wen has raised many adopted sons and daughters if she doesn't get married, and Aunt Hu Jiao doesn't want to get married either. Why doesn't she raise a child to inherit the property?"

Yang Xi, "She won the title and still works for your uncle. Some of her properties cannot have heirs."

When Hu Jiao wants to retire and rest, the emperor will choose someone to replace Hu Jiao.

Zilu also knew something, "Her title can be passed down."

Yang Xi chuckled, "Do you think she would care?"

Hu Jiao just wants to live her life in style. Even if she gets old, she will still be a rich and noble lady. She will work hard for the emperor all her life, and the emperor will arrange for her afterlife. Unhappy, and even became a drag on her.

As the sky was getting dark, Ziheng and others left the palace. After Ziheng returned to Dingguo Mansion to wash up briefly, the family ate hot pot in the glass shed.

The snow outside has not stopped, and the auspicious snow is a sign of a good year. I don't know if this snow is the beginning of the auspicious snow or the snow disaster.

Fortunately, the heavy snow had stopped early the next morning, and the thick snow made people dizzy under the sunlight.

In the next few days, the temperature rose significantly, the snow in the capital melted into snow water, and the rebuilt capital withstood the test of drainage. For this reason, there were many articles praising the capital in the newspapers.

When Ziheng and others entered the palace again, the snow had already melted due to the rising temperature.

After the morning court ended, the ministers did not leave, but stood on both sides of the hall to make way for this year's new division.

Yang Xixuan hand-picked the No. [-] scholar for the second spot, and Zhou Yu rarely went to court in order to witness today.

Seeking truth from facts, Ziheng has a huge advantage. Not only has he participated in the construction of Rongzhou, but he has also listened to his uncle and his father's words. All kinds of superimposed Ziheng's articles are the most brilliant, and at the same time, they are the most in line with Yang Xixuan's heart.

In order to prove that he is not partial, Yang Xixuan invited important ministers to read the article, and today Ziheng deserves his title.

Liao Jiheng from Fuzhou became No. [-] on the list, and another one became Tan Hua Lang at No. [-] on the list.

Zhenyuan ranked No.13 on the second list, a few spots ahead of Chunwei.

It stands to reason that Zhenyuan's article should be good, but Zhenyuan does not have as much experience as Ziheng. In addition, Zhenyuan was nervous in the palace test. It is true that Zhenyuan wrote a little bit in the second half of the article because of nervousness. Fortunately, the ending is round. return.

Zhenyuan breathed out when he heard the ranking, he was afraid of falling out of the second list, he is not calm like his cousin, he wants to get better results, although there are some deviations, it is a good result.

Zhou Yu could feel everyone's jealous eyes when they looked at him, the corners of Zhou Yu's mouth almost grinned to his ears, his son was just trying to win, he only passed the Jinshi examination, and his son was the number one scholar!

Yang Xixuan is also Ziheng's parent, and everyone can see the joy on the emperor's body.

Yang Xixuan didn't put Ziheng in the Imperial Academy. Originally, Ziheng's political achievements were enough, so he didn't have to take the imperial examination, so Yang Xixuan directly arranged for Ziheng to go to various ministries to observe politics first, and then send officials after the observation.

Zhou Yu and Ziheng accepted the congratulations, Li Yongyan said with a smile: "The first prize in the new division is a joy, and the second joy will be getting married in a few days, congratulations and double happiness."

Ziheng generously returned the gift, and Zhou Yu laughed happily, "I must have a few more drinks then."

Li Yongyan, "Definitely."

Today's Ziheng is the center wherever he goes. If he didn't want to parade, Ziheng wouldn't be able to leave the palace.

Yang Xi was already waiting in the box with her youngest son. She also invited her future daughter-in-law, and Mrs. Liu was also invited.

When Ziheng passed by on horseback, Yang Xi sighed, "My son is just handsome."

Tang Qinyao's cheeks were flushed, Yang Xi said, "Throw away your purse."

Zilu had already waved his hand to call Big Brother, the movement was not small, as soon as Ziheng looked up, he saw his fiancée throwing a purse at him, he grabbed the purse in his arms and waved as a signal.

Tang Qinyao's face turned even redder, and Liu's smile was the happiest. As a mother, she hoped that her daughter would have a good life after marriage.

When Yang Xi saw Zhenyuan, she felt that she was worthy of her father who died early, and that he could rest in peace after knowing it. It was a pity that Zhan Peng was in a hurry to go back to the academy and couldn't see Zhenyuan parading the street.

Fortunately, she invited an artist to come over and asked the artist to draw the street walk. Then, she would draw two copies, one to be kept in the Duke's mansion, and one to be given to her younger brother, which could be sealed in the ancestral hall.

Yang Xi felt unfriendly gazes. She looked down at the crowd, but found nothing. However, she saw Zhou Ziyu and She Ling among the crowd not far away.

Even if Zhou Ziyu went to the south for a study tour, it was a pity that he still didn't make it to the list. Only one of the Zhou family's children was admitted to the list, and now he has a fellow Jinshi background.

Yang Xi squinted his eyes and didn't see Zhou Ziyu's expression clearly, so he had to give up in the end. According to the news sent back, Zhou Ziyu and She Ling had divorced, and their behavior was much calmer. The patriarch Zhou even talked to Zhou Ziyu, Although he will not give Zhou Ziyu more resources, he hopes that Zhou Ziyu will return to the family.

Yang Xi thought of that couple again. The two couples had already been admitted to an academy in the capital. It was no accident that they got acquainted with She Ling. , The couple had a lot of unhappiness.

These people are really cautious. However, after so many trials, Yang Xi felt that this was the last trial. The couple settled down in the capital, and She Ling's mother's family would no longer be cautious.
