The days of posting are faster than in previous years.

In mid-February, the results of the imperial examination came out, and Liang Jimin was the first place - becoming a new junior Huiyuan and became famous all over the world.

The Liang family is in jubilation.

Chen Muqing thought of Mr. Min and sent Zhou Baimu to inquire. Knowing that Mr. Min was also on the list, she breathed a sigh of relief and asked Luo Mei to send gifts such as Huibi Duan Inkstone that had been prepared in advance to Petrochemical Bridge.

Feng sent people to the Shen family in Liangyuan, northwest and Mingshifang to report good news.

Li also sent someone to check the list. When the Feng family went to report the news, the Shen family also received the news. Li was happy. The Feng family went to report the news and each person gave ten taels of silver. Liang Jimin's classmates and teachers also came to Liang's house to ask for wine. Liang Jimin had to go to the teacher's seat and attend a banquet for the same subject. He went to the wine all day and was very busy. The Liang family had a three-day recreational banquet to entertain relatives and friends who came to congratulate him, which was very lively.

As if the Bodhisattva was favored, at this time, good news came from the northwest - Xuan and General Liang Yuan and General Zeng Ju of Gansu, not only drove the Yuanmeng people to Ehe, but also captured Hulei, the third son of Yuanmeng Khan Tuotumu, alive.

One stone stirs up a thousand layers of waves.

The temple was arguing about the handling of Hu Lei. The scholars gathered in Kyoto who had not returned home were either enthusiastic or writing about the great cause of the emperor. The Kyoto Shixun family stared at the Dingyuan Marquis' Mansion and secretly calculating their rankings... At this time, an imperial edict was heard from the palace, one was to set the day of the palace examination on the second day of the third month, and the other was to celebrate the 56th birthday of the Empress Dowager, Wu En section will be held on June 24th.

For a moment, the government and the country were in agitation.

When Chen Muqing heard the news, he was silent for a long time.

*******

On the day of the palace examination, Liang Jimin specially changed into a new blue brocade straight body with a bamboo hairpin on his head. He was energetic and looked graceful and elegant.

When Chen Muqing went to Conglutang, he had just finished breakfast and was talking to Liang Shuxin: "...If I can win the top scorer, I'd better get a three-yuan prize!"

Liang Shuxin smiled faintly: "You are talented and intelligent, and the emperor is a young emperor again. The first time you are kissing the top scorer, you have a high chance."

Chen Muqing has already seen Liang Shuxin's keenness.

She also felt that Liang Jimin was very likely to be ranked first.

The two brothers talked and saw the people bent down and saluted, they realized that Chen Muqing had arrived.

Before Chen Muqing could salute Liang Shuxin, he stood up, smiled and nodded at Chen Muqing, and said, "You guys talk, I'll go and see how the sedan chair is prepared!" After that, without waiting for Chen Muqing to react, he quickly walked away.

Since that incident, Liang Shuxin has been unnatural when he sees Chen Muqing.

When Liang Jimin saw this, he smiled and said, "My second brother is so tough, don't take it to heart."

Chen Muqing nodded with a hurried smile: "Second brother is a straightforward person."

When Liang Jimin saw her talking to her brother, she smiled in her eyes and invited Chen Muqing to sit down and have breakfast together.

Chen Muqing only came after breakfast, but it was rare to have such a face-to-face opportunity. Chen Muqing still smiled and asked Yingfen to add a bowl of porridge to her.

Yingfen bent his knees with a smile on his eyebrows and eyes, and responded to "Yes", while serving a bowl of porridge for Chen Muqing.

Chen Muqing sat down and took a few bites, when the Grandma and Feng, Wang Wenhui arrived.

After some advice, the female family sent Liang Jimin out of the second door, but it was Liang Shuxin who was still waiting outside the door with his servants.

Unlike the last exam, everyone showed enough confidence in Liang Jimin this time, even Liang Jimin himself was very confident.

The list was released on March 4th, and Liang Jimin, the previous top favorite, was ranked tenth in the first list.

The news reached the inner courtyard, and all the women waiting for celebration in Xianhe Hall were stunned.

"Why don't the emperor even want the lottery ticket for Sanyuan Judith!" The lady's face turned pale.

Chen Muqing pulled his feet and ran to the main hall.

Feng also came to his senses and hurriedly told Qinglian beside him: "Hurry, follow the third young master to go over... Don't let the third young master say anything inappropriate... Everyone in Kyoto is watching..."

Halfway through the road, she met Uncle Liang.

"Second uncle, my husband..."

Before Chen Muqing could finish his words, Liang Shuxin said: "... He heard it and just said lightly, "What a pity." I went to reward people, but turned around and didn't see it..."

Chen Muqing hurriedly nodded to Uncle Liang and turned to Conglutang.

The door of Conglutang's main house was closed, with spring trees, bird clouds and Shise, and Chengxin stood at the door and circled around. Seeing Chen Muqing, they surrounded him as if they had seen the backbone: "Grandma San, what do you do when you see this?"

"The Third Young Master is inside!" Chen Muqing also breathed a sigh of relief.

Several people nodded repeatedly: "Inside."

Chen Muqing stepped forward and knocked gently on the door, but no one responded for a while.

She walked to the window frame of the east room where Liang Jimin often rested, and whispered: "Mr., I know you feel uncomfortable. But in two days, the Qionglin Banquet will be there, and the people in Kyoto are watching you at this time. The more you are, the more you need to cheer up."

There was still no sound, and there was a bright moonlight inside, but there were shadows shaking.

Don't commit suicide!

Chen Muqing thought, Qinglian rushed over.

She had no choice but to tell the situation as it was true and finally said, "Tell me, I'll be here, and then send a few close-fitting mothers to come and give me courage."

Qinglian left after a while. After a while, she helped Feng, who was full of fear, come over.

"What's going on? What's going on?" She choked in her voice, "Ji Min is okay!"

How could Chen Muqing answer? He stepped forward and helped Feng and asked someone to bring the Grand Master's chair to Feng.

Feng didn't say anything, covered his face and cried: "Ji Min, don't scare my mother, I'm all counting on you. If you have a few things, I won't live anymore..."

When Chen Muqing saw this, he hurriedly asked the little maids beside him to fetch water for Feng.

The little maids left, but the water had not yet arrived, and the lady had arrived.

Her face was covered in frost and she said in a deep voice: "Ji Min, open the door for me!"

Feng looked at the Grandma in surprise, and Chen Muqing was also secretly surprised by the Grandma's supremeness. But what surprised her even more was that after a moment, the door actually opened with a "creak" sound. Liang Jimin walked out with a look of disgust and knelt in front of the Grandma with a "thump" sound: "Grandmother, grandson has let your expectations down..." After saying that, he started to cry like a baby.

Men will not shed tears easily.

Liang Jimin's appearance made the women in the yard sobb.

The lady held back her tears and said sternly: "Ji Min, get up. Men have gold under their knees. You are now a Jinshi, and two Jinshi at the age of 18. How many people have there been since the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty..."

Liang Jimin was stunned and looked up at the lady, and tears rolled into a mole on his cheek.

The lady glanced at everyone with a sharp look.

"Since Haruki and Biyun are left, everyone else will go back to the house to rest!" She said without anger and was powerful, "This matter ends here. Who dares to talk nonsense, and will be killed immediately!"

All the servants responded tremblingly. Feng's mouth slightly closed, and he wanted to say something. Chen Muqing, who was looking around, saw that Aunt Liu not only followed the servants respectfully, but also took the lead in retreating. She hurriedly pulled Feng's clothes and said, "Mom, you are tired too. I will help you go back and rest!" There was a faint sense of inconvenience in her voice. Feng couldn't help looking at her, and Chen Muqing shook his head at Feng and pointed at Aunt Liu's back.

Feng understood Chen Muqing's intention and pursed his lips hard. Then, with the help of Shen Muqing, he walked out of Cong Lutang.

On the way, Chen Muqing advised Feng: "At this time, my husband was unhappy. My grandmother was comforting her husband there, and my husband should have figured it out soon."

Feng said dissatisfiedly: "If you want to comfort me, I will comfort my son..."

Chen Muqing naturally had no time to express any opinions. Fortunately, Gui Aitang arrived soon. Chen Muqing helped Feng into the house. After listening to the complaints for a long time, he served her to sleep. Then he returned to Diecuiyuan.

Liang Youhui was waiting for her. When she saw her coming back, she held her hand and said, "Fortunately, my third sister-in-law is here, so scared that I didn't dare to say anything. You said, why did my third brother become tenth in the first place? Everyone said that he would win the No. 1 pick?"

"This top scholar was my dear to the emperor." Chen Muqing explained with a smile, "It's not entirely based on talent. Sometimes, because the name is good, the emperor likes to listen, and sometimes, because the words are written so that the emperor likes to read..." At this point, she suddenly stopped, and a little pale appeared on her white jade-like face.

She called Yingfen to the front yard to inquire: "Look at who the top scorer is this year?"

Yingfen quickly turned back and whispered: "It's Mr. Min!"

*******

After the advice of the Grandmaster, Liang Jimin really calmed down.

In the next few days, he started socializing and the same year he passed the imperial examination together, and sometimes he would keep people at home for dinner. Chen Muqing was afraid that the Liang family would be negligent in the kitchen, so he specially gave Liang Jimin a purse: "If it looks inappropriate, go to a better restaurant outside to invite someone to dinner - there are 200 taels of silver notes here."

Liang Jimin doesn't want it.

Chen Muqing joked, "Did you be afraid that if you take my money at this time, I will ask for my salary in the future?"

Liang Jimin blushed and said hurriedly: "No, no..."

Chen Muqing took the opportunity to stuff his purse, but he did not refuse and accepted it.

On March 12, the emperor set up a banquet in the Qionglin in Wenhua Hall.

Liang Jimin went to the banquet happily, but it was not until noon the next day that he was drunk and was helped back by Shise and Baimu.

The family was worried about him, and the lady called Baimu to ask carefully.

Baimu smiled and said, "The Third Young Master is the youngest Jinshi. I heard that the Emperor had asked the Third Young Master specifically at the Qionglin Banquet. After the banquet, everyone dragged the Third Young Master to the banquet... First, the Third Young Master was happy, and second, the Third Young Master was young and thin, and he was not easy to refuse. So..."

The Grandma nodded slightly and said, "This is also common. Since that's the case, Mu Qing, you will have to take good care of Ji Min during this period. There will be more and more such banquets in the future."

Chen Muqing responded respectfully.

Liang Jimin is really as Mrs. Tai said, every day, the boss drinks the west, and every day, he drinks it without any sense of ease.

Chen Muqing frowned and took the time to remind Liang Jimin: "The exam will be held in mid-April. Whether you can be named a marquis will depend on this event. If there are some not-so-important social events, please give it back!"

Liang Jimin looked at her coldly, and without saying a word, she turned around and put on her clothes and went out again.
