Yusui Chang'an

Lin Jinan wanted to stand up and salute, but his legs, which had been sitting for too long, had already lost consciousness, and he fell back on the futon in a slightly embarrassed state.

When the grandson of Mr. Qi saw this, he sneered coldly, then said in a clear voice:

"Your Majesty, the students have finished answering."

After the emperor read the first imperial examination paper with Qi Mu's name written on it, he praised him a few words. The lines on Old Mrs. Qi's face relaxed, and he raised his chin in the direction of Lin Yanqing, looking proud.

Lin Yanqing looked at his grandson Laohuai with joy, but did not notice the movement of Mr. Qi.

Qi Mu secretly moved his numb legs under the desk, his expression couldn't hide his contentment. This kind of complacency reaches its peak especially when seeing the examinees who have not finished answering the questions looking at me with envy, anxiety or jealousy.

The emperor took a cursory look at Lin Jin'an's imperial examination paper without saying a word. He read it carefully again. His eyes became brighter and brighter as he looked at it, and he couldn't stop praising it.

Lin Jinan rubbed his numb legs and turned to smile at Lin Siyuan who was full of relief.

The smiles on the faces of the ancestors and grandsons of the Qi family froze. Qi Mu's hands under the desk were clenched into fists. Looking at Lin Jinan's smiling face, he felt that it was particularly annoying.
-
At the palace gate.

Lin Jinyan and Bai Yiran were sitting in the carriage talking. Gu Yichen sat in the driver's seat and stared at the palace door, and suddenly said in surprise:
"Out!"

Through the curtains opened by Hong Jiu, Bai Yiran and Lin Jinyan peeked out. The Qi family's ancestors and grandsons who were walking in the front saw the carriages of the Lin family and the Gu family. They paused slightly, glared angrily, and quickened their steps on the way to their home. carriage.

Although the other candidates had different expressions, they all said goodbye to Master Yao and others before getting into their carriage.

Gu Yichen was stared at inexplicably. When he saw Lin Jin'an and his group coming out, he didn't think much about it. He put on a smile and stepped forward to salute:
"Grand Master, Grand Tutor, Qin Yushi, Uncle-in-law. Looking at An'er's face, you should have answered the policy question well?"

Although Lin Jinan was tired after finishing the exam, he felt extremely relaxed:

"It's just my luck. This year's strategy was given by His Majesty himself, and the exam was about flood control. I happened to go to disaster relief with my cousin two years ago. I've had a personal examination, so I'm not afraid."

Qin Yushi smiled heartily: "This is called sowing good causes and reaping good results. You had no way of knowing today's situation before you went to provide disaster relief."

Because the emperor passed Lin Jin'an's strategy to the examiners present, Taishi Yao also admired his old friend, his grandson, from the bottom of his heart:

"Your policy insights are unique, and every word is for the people. It can be seen that when you answer the question, you think about the people, not fame. Your detached mentality is far better than others."

Lin Yanqing's depression these days disappeared without a trace the moment he read Sun Tzu's essay. At this moment, he only felt that his body and mind were clear:
The younger son's family is not up to par, but the eldest son's pair of children are one of a million.

Especially after reading Lin Jin'an's policy statement, the feeling of pride that filled his eyes with tears made him feel that he should be content with such a junior.

"No matter what your rank is in the imperial examination, my grandfather will be proud of you."

Lin Siyuan looked at his son, who was only two fingers shorter than him, and raised his hand to pat his shoulder:

Qinglan, have you seen it? My son has grown up.

"You have studied hard since you were a child and have never slacked off for a day. It is definitely not luck that you are today. I am very happy as a father."

Lin Jinan, who was praised by everyone, had bright eyes and a boyish shyness and happiness on his face.

Lin Jinyan played with Bai Yiran and walked forward. After greeting everyone, she and Lin Jinan looked at each other and smiled.

I knew that my brother could definitely do it.

From now on, I can also protect my sister. (End of chapter)
