I have made a fortune by farming

Chapter 864
He hasn't reached the palace exam yet, but now that he has passed the No. 6 exam, as long as Song Xun doesn't make mistakes in the palace exam, he will be at least a second-class one, and may even be named a first-class by the emperor!
"This mud-legged boy can read so well, he is really bewitched." Song Hou was very angry, "Forget it, go and give him a gift to show my care."

Now that Song Ying has something to do with Huo Zhaoyuan, even if he wants to make trouble behind his back, it won't work.

It's just that there is such an enemy for no reason, he feels very uncomfortable, after all, this person is originally from the same family as him...

Song Hou intended to ease the relationship, but unfortunately, this item was not sent to Song Xun, and the boy who gave the gift was directly kicked out.

Although the examination has ended, there is still the last hurdle. Huo Zhaoyuan rushed over early in the morning and told Song Xun about the palace examination.

The test will test talent and learning, and the palace test will test the eye relationship with the emperor and even the prince.

Huo Zhaoyuan had never stayed in the capital, but he knew the royal family well, so he explained his personality preferences and taboos to Song Xun in detail.

With his help, Song Xun's nervous mood calmed down a lot.

On the day of the imperial examination, he entered the palace tremblingly.

This time, among many of his friends, only Lu Kai passed the exam, but he was not the first, and ranked third.

It was so difficult for Lu Kai to be taught by a famous teacher since he was a child, let alone him, if Song Ying hadn't raised him with good food and drink, it would have taken him at least ten years to reach his current height.

"I heard that Princess Huo is your sister?" After the exam, the emperor chatted and asked Song Xun.

Song Xun responded neither humble nor overbearing: "Exactly."

"I also heard that your sister has set up a shop and made a lot of wool socks, enough to keep you warm in the Gongyuan?" the emperor asked again.

"Yes, my sister has a clever mind and always comes up with some weird things. It's just that she is lazy and doesn't like directors very much. This shop is managed by others." Song Xun immediately replied.

He also knew that as a princess, he couldn't show his face in public.

So I have to defend Song Ying a few words.

"I don't mean to blame her. You can write better articles when your body is warm. I see that the level of this article has indeed increased a lot this year." The emperor said in a light tone, "You are from Yongcheng In a village, it is not easy to write such an article at such a young age, it seems that you are not less eager to learn on weekdays."

As the emperor, he naturally wanted to get to know these disciples of the Son of Heaven, so he checked the outstanding few among them to the sky early on.

This Song Xun is Lord Huo's eldest brother-in-law, but he is humble and courteous, he has a good reputation, and has a close relationship with Lord Huo, but they don't have much contact with him, he is a person who only advances and retreats but does not know how to cling.

It's a usable one.

Song Xun was confused, but vaguely felt that the emperor had a good impression of him.

Sure enough, when the final result came out, Song Xun was also very pleasantly surprised.

The number one scholar came from a famous family in his thirties, his talent and ability were indeed above all others, the No.2 was a child from the capital, Lu Kai got the name of a flower, and he was the No.1 Biography of Erjia.

Although it is the top two, it has advanced two places!
Song Xun was very content, and never thought about being the number one scholar.

What's more, he hasn't studied for a long time. If it weren't for luck and his younger sister, it would be difficult for him to be a Jinshi.

The three of the first class went directly to Hanlin, but Song Xun was the best of the second class. Now he can take another exam. If he passes the exam, he can stay in Beijing to be a good scholar and study in the future. After the exam, you can also re-enter the Imperial Academy for a serious editing or review. In the future, you may be more likely to enter the cabinet and appear as a minister.
