The champion is my son

Chapter 432
Yunji ordered some side dishes, and the two had a happy lunch.Yun Ji is not a drinker, not to mention he dare not disregard Jiuqing's reputation, so there is no possibility of wine on the table.

"My maid is still on the shore, so I will leave first. Brother Jiang, take care." After dinner, Gu Jiuqing got up to leave.Although there are still thousands of words, she is not a person who does not know how to measure.Lonely men and widows will always be gossiped if they stay in the same room for too long, even if there are no rules here, what about getting off the boat?

She couldn't ruin her little brother's reputation.

Yun Ji also had the same idea.

The two greeted each other, and Gu Jiuqing slightly closed her hat so that no one could see that she was the daughter of the Gu family, so she boarded and disembarked the boat.

Yun Ji watched her go away from the window until she landed on the shore.Only then did Yunji sit down and carefully open the purse from Jiuqing.

Sure enough, there was a jade pendant lying inside.

The texture is as fine as its own hosta.

The reason why Yunji gave the jade hairpin was because Gu Jiuqing was going to be a hairpin next year.He couldn't hold back for a moment and gave a hairpin.When I turned around, I found that he was not suitable to give the jade hairpin at all.

Aww, what a shame.

Yunji felt that he had made a big mistake.

After returning home, Yun Ji spread out on the bed in shame, and covered her face with the quilt.When Guan Shangxuan entered the door, he saw Yunji in this appearance, and immediately he smelled adultery.

"Did you do something bad?" Guan Shangxuan lifted the quilt covering Yunji's face with a half-smile, raised his eyebrows, and revealed a wretched smile.

"No, don't talk nonsense, it will cause people to misunderstand." Yun Ji slapped Guan Shangxuan's salty pig's hand away, and said angrily.

"Oh, I still don't know your virtues?" Guan Shangxuan didn't care about Yunji and slapped him, turned his face away, and said in disgust.

"Hmph, forget it if you don't believe me." After finishing speaking, Yun Ji pulled the quilt and covered himself under it.There is a charcoal fire in the house, so it will not be cold.Guan Shangxuan sat by the charcoal brazier and warmed himself by the fire, "I won't talk about your trivial matters, Dr. Wang from the academy asked me to attend a lecture tomorrow, will you go?"

"No, I'll be with my mother these few days." Yunji muttered under the quilt.

"Okay, you don't need these anyway, so I won't force you." Guan Shangxuan said.

"Who said I don't need these, I'm just too tired and want to relax for a few days." After Yunji finished speaking, he was going to rush Guan Shangxuan away. He was different from Brother Xuan, his mother would give him a lot of inspiration, these inspirations Guan Shangxuan may not understand, so it is a wise choice for Guan Shangxuan to follow Dr. Wang, but he can't.

He could always feel a sense of pedantry, which A Niang didn't have at all.Sure enough, the next day Yunji borrowed his mother-in-law from the study.These days, Auntie is busy with business matters, Yunji feels that she is about to fall out of favor.

Fortunately, Li Qing was prepared in the morning.

Li Qing has never given up studying in these years, and with the memory of two lifetimes, learning is more effective, and her knowledge is not inferior to that of the academy's doctor Jijiu.Compared with them, Li Qing wins because of his broad thinking.Yunji found a lot of good things under Li Qing's teaching.He felt that he would be sorry for his mother's teaching and his own hard work if he didn't do well in the imperial examination.

As early as a few days before the palace examination, the court released news that because the emperor was "seriously ill", the palace examination would be presided over by a scholar of Su University.And qualified bachelors in Wenyuan Pavilion will be the judges.

A total of 45 people participated in the palace examination this time, and two-thirds were taken, that is, 30 people.While the odds are high, so are the risks.What if it becomes the 15 people who were abandoned?
In the evening, Yunji and Guan Shangxuan went to the Ministry of Rites together.Because of the passage of time, the weather in Shangjing is gradually getting better, at least not as heavy snowfall as before.

However, as the saying goes, snow is not cold and snow is cold, and the two scholars were still wrapped in jackets.This time they don't need to prepare anything by themselves, the martial arts hall has prepared everything.

In the courtyard of the Ministry of Rites, the Minister of the Ministry of Rites was lecturing, and the candidates below stood neatly, like a square team.Coincidentally, besides Guan Shangxuan and Gu Cangyu beside Yunji.The three showed a confident smile at the same time.

Guan Shangxuan was a little uneasy before, he was frightened by the incident three years ago, so he had to be more cautious.And now that it has come to this point, he is sure that there will be no more surprises in this palace test.

"Tomorrow's palace exam, you just need to answer the questions carefully, do your duty, and wait for the judgment results to come out before you speak, I hope you will remember." The minister of rites said to the dozens of people below at the risk of extreme risks.He didn't think about it either, the players below are all seed players of the imperial court's central system, and many of them come from powerful and noble families, but rules are rules, and it's another matter to break the rules.

"Remember, my lord." Everyone below replied in unison, Yun Ji was no exception.

If I remember correctly, one-third of the 45 people here are from good backgrounds, and they have entered the palace with their elders. The rest are mostly from the local area, but they are not too poor.

If you can read to this level, if you have no money in your family, it is not that your family is useless, but that you are incompetent.

After the lectures were over, all the candidates were ready to leave for the palace.

Because it is the imperial palace, those who have never been there dare not look around, and everyone keeps their eyes on it.In my mind, I dreamed that one day I could create a foundation here and become a famous person in history.They have never experienced all kinds of darkness in the court, no matter their age, they still have a little fantasy.Thinking of being able to follow His Majesty the emperor to make great contributions and become famous for a lifetime.

When they do enter this political world, they will be beaten.

Yunji is no different from them.

"The martial arts hall is where the imperial examinations of the past dynasties are held. Everyone, go to the martial arts hall today to familiarize yourself with the environment. You will be waiting in the martial arts hall at five o'clock tomorrow." The servant leading the way said as he led the way.

Obviously everyone is more reserved, and no one speaks.The Imperial Palace was already majestic, but invisibly, it also added a bit of seriousness to this group of scholars.

After finally getting through this hurdle, Yunji and the others were taken to the lounge, and once they entered, they could see a Datong shop with dozens of people.

I'm going to rest here tonight.

The environment here is too rough for the noble descendants of Gaomen, but they dare not show any dislike.Because from entering the gate of the palace, everyone's words and deeds have been recorded.

This is not the scene of concubine selection, but the selection of talents for Tianqi.If people have bad conduct, knowledge is of no use.So everyone is trembling like walking on thin ice like facing an abyss.

It was not the first time for Yunji to come to the imperial palace. As a supervisor of the Imperial College, he had the right to attend the court proceedings from the second year of enrollment, and he never missed almost every morning court, so he was quite familiar with the imperial palace.
