    The Qionglin Banquet on April 7th was over, and before Wen Yu had time to rest, she started to get busy again.

    On April 10th, silver taels and clothing materials were rewarded, and Xinke Scholars were asked to customize their official uniforms.On April 13th, all Jinshi expressed their gratitude.On April 14th, under the leadership of Xu Lingru, the number one scholar, all Jinshi went to the Confucius Temple to perform the brown ceremony of release and change their clothes.Then, a stele was erected in Guozijian, and the names of more than 300 Jinshi in the first year of Taixing were engraved on the stone stele.

    On April 17, officials were selected by the Ministry of Officials.

    The man in the cyan official uniform stood under the vermilion palace wall. He was tall and tall, with a bronze complexion, and his eyebrows and eyes were like blades.It's just that the two packs of chestnuts in his hand, coupled with the smile on his face, don't look vicious no matter what.

    "Little Jin, here!"

    Yu Xiuyue waved to Wen Yu, "I came out a quarter of an hour earlier than you, and I just saw an old woman selling chestnuts passing by in front of me, so I caught up and bought two packs. Here, it's still hot."

    He called out his hands, with a smirk on his face.

    Wen Yu took it over and said to him: "Shu Si, you are too careful, I am just hungry, thank you. But, didn't I say it, just call me Wen Yu. You are only older than meNo matter how old you are, you can be regarded as the same age, if you add the word 'small', it seems that I am your grandnephew."

    The smile on Yu Xiuyue's face restrained, and he lowered his head: "I thought calling like this would make us get closer. If you don't like it, then I won't call."

    Wen Yu frowned, why did she show such an expression? Isn't it just a title, she had no choice but to say: "It's up to you."

    As soon as the words fell, a smile appeared on the face of the person in front of him.

    It's amazing to say that when Yu Xiuyue is not smiling, he is like a stern soldier, bathing in blood and being ruthless; but when he smiles, his temperament changes completely, from a wolf to a large dog, and suddenly become docile.

    The villain in Yu Xiuyue's heart was jumping happily, and sure enough, Xiao Zhen was a good planner.

    Wen Yu casually peeled off a chestnut and threw it into his mouth. The chestnut was really sweet. will ask Shu Si what the old lady who sells chestnuts looks like. She will definitely buy more when she meets her.

    A look of satisfaction appeared in Yu Xiuyue's eyes: "Xiao Zhen, what do you plan to do after you are awarded the title of Imperial Scholars? Are you going to take office directly, or go back to your hometown?"

    She replied without hesitation: "Go home, I haven't been back for more than a year."

    Yu Xiuyue nodded, he had already guessed the answer.

    Wen Yu asked back: "Then you go back?"

    Yu Xiuyue smiled: "Of course I want to go home."

    Then he inadvertently raised the topic he wanted to ask: "Nowadays there are more and more officials, and the establishment of official buildings is far behind the growth rate of officials. We don't have a share in those built houses. Then, after you come backWhere are you going to live?"

    Wen Yu seemed to have just thought of this question, with a hint of doubt on his face: "Can't we live in the original place?"

    Yu Xiuyue: "After all, I'm still a few years older than you, Xiao Zhen, you still know too little about the world. Don't you dare to say that you didn't have many acquaintances in the original rented place."

    Wen Yu seems to have grasped something but still doesn't quite understand: "Shu Si, humans are social animals. Even though I'm not good at interacting with others, I have lived in the North District for more than a year. I do know a few people I know well..but so what?"

    Yu Xiuyue laughed mercilessly after hearing her words, put his hands behind his head, and put on a foolish look, which was completely different from his expression when he laughed.

    "One person attains enlightenment, chickens and dogs ascend to heaven. There are countless officials, large and small, in Capital City, but they are also officials the size of a sesame seed. You said, little Tanhua, if the neighbors around you encounter any difficulties, they will have nowhere to turn to you, It’s your duty to help, and it’s your duty not to help. But when you really don’t help, tsk, there are no secrets in a place like Capital City, and your reputation will be bad.”

    After listening to Yu Xiuyue's thorough analysis, Wen Yu realized how innocent and childish what she just said was.

    She looked at Yu Xiuyue again, as if meeting him for the first time, then shrugged and sighed: "Okay, I was wrong. What do you mean?"

    Seeing that she finally got to the point, Yu Xiuyue's eyes sparkled: "Since there are not enough official houses, why don't we rent a larger private house together, so that we can take care of each other when the time comes."

    Wen Yu's expression froze, this proposal seems to be very good, but the premise is that she is a real man.Although she has come here as a man for more than ten years, she has also gotten used to learning how to play a man better.But people make mistakes and horses make mistakes. If we get along day and night, we will inevitably show our feet.

    Although she is careful enough on weekdays, she is not afraid of ten thousand, just in case.

    And after comparing the two completely different lifestyles of living in a small courtyard in the Wu Mansion in the past and renting alone now, she has deeply realized what the joy of living alone is.

    Even though Song Duan only came back to Wu Mansion from time to time to stay here for one night (although Wen Yu himself felt that Song Duan came here too frequently), she would still be disturbed, and she was too uncomfortable.

    Wen Yu weighed his words, with a look of embarrassment on his face, thinking about how to say no.

    It's just that before she opened her mouth, Yu Xiuyue's expression was already depressed. Coupled with his resolute appearance, at first glance, one would think that this person must have been greatly wronged, otherwise how could he show a look that was completely inconsistent with his appearance.

    It's a pity that although Yu Xiuyue has figured out Wen Yu's soft-hearted character, he doesn't know the worries in her heart.

    Wen Yu calmed his emotions, but his attitude was firm.

    The topic was brought to the fore, and the two separated after having lunch in a restaurant, and agreed to meet again in three days.

    Yu Xiuyue looked at Wen Yu's back, stood on the spot and raised his right hand to touch his heart, thumping, jumping faster and faster, his face was expressionless, but his eyes became more and more excited.

    It's strange, obviously Xiaozhen rejected him, why is he still so happy.Is he sick?

    She is different from the people I have met in the past, her talents, knowledge, appearance and character are all first-class, so if you refuse, just refuse, Xiao Zhen must have her own reasons.Anyway, Xiao Yu is a friend that he has identified, and this will not change.

    It's just that Wen Yu didn't expect and couldn't have imagined that Yu Xiuyue's words that seemed very reasonable, but in fact were also very reasonable, would become a prophecy soon after!

    On April 18, the results of the selection of officials by the Ministry of Officials were released, and no one was screened out.

    On April 19, with the exception of Xu Lingru, Yu Xiuyue, and Wen Yu, the other three hundred Jinshi gathered again to take part in the imperial examination in the Palace of Preserving Harmony.

    According to the comprehensive ranking of the three examinations, namely, the general examination, the hall examination, and the written examination at this time, it is divided into three grades: A, B, and C.

    The first and second ranks entered the Imperial Academy as Shu Ji Shi, who are officials without rank in the Imperial Academy. They need to study in the Imperial Academy for three years and take another exam before they can become truly high-ranking Imperial officials.As for the second-class graduates and the third-class Jinshi, they must either look for opportunities to stay in Beijing as a small official of the eighth rank, or let them go out and get the title of a seventh-rank county magistrate.

    But for most Jinshi, I am afraid that they would rather be an eighth-rank official in Capital City than let it go outside.

    However, for the top three, the No. 1, No. 2, and Tanhua usually only participate in further study and do not take the imperial examination. The subsequent imperial examination will not affect them from becoming official Hanlin scholars. It can be said that they are the ancient "recommended students".

    The No. 1 scholar is awarded the editor of the Imperial Academy, from the sixth rank official; the second place and Tanhua are awarded the editor, which is the seventh rank.Although they have no posts, they enjoy the treatment of officials of the corresponding level.

    The official career of Hanlin Shujishi seems to be not much different from that of ordinary Jinshi, but because the Imperial Academy is a key department of the country, it is not only easier for those who are Hanlin to be promoted than other officials, but also because assistants and deputies such as Nanshufang and Shangshufang walk are mostly byHanlin officials do it, so Hanlin officials often contact princes and ministers.

    After further training in the Imperial Academy, some of these scholars will go to the six departments to start from the low-level principals and censors, and some will simply stay in the Imperial Academy to compile national history, or some will serve as attendants to the emperor and prince., giving lectures, but no matter what the choice is, the speed of promotion of these people is like riding a rocket into the sky.And if Hanlin can enter Zhiwenyuan Pavilion to participate in secrets, it will be an extremely noble minister.

    According to the "History of Qi Zhiguan Zhi" recorded more than 40 important ministers, 90% of them are from the Imperial Academy.This is also the reason why Da Qi designated the Hanlin Academy as the fifth-rank yamen, and the rank of the Hanlin officials was very low, but they were regarded as the choice of nobles.

    Six days later, on April 25th.

    The results of the imperial examination came out, and Xu Weizhi ranked first, and he was recorded as a good scholar.

    At this time, Wen Yu had already packed her luggage for returning home.

    The door was knocked again and again, without stopping, and the wooden door was slapped, making a harsh and strong noise.

    The woman outside the door was crying: "Wen Yu, Mr. Wen, I am Liu's daughter-in-law, Liu Fubi. Please help me, Mr. Wen! Brother Wen, Brother Yu, for the sake of past affection, I beg youYes! The woman kowtows to you!"

    The author has something to say:

    Hehe, Wen Xiaozhen is so naive, she still doesn't know the dangers of the world.

    Brainless little theater with no responsibility

    Song Duan: "I haven't appeared in several chapters, what's going on?!"

    The author rubbed his head in confusion: "Ah, but, didn't you leave Beijing to investigate a severe drought in a certain place?"

    Song Duan snorted: "Then I should have come back long ago."

    "Yes, yes, the little one knows." With your attitude, heh, Nizi!Even if you come back, you will not be able to see my female goose (bushi).

    Another forgotten classmate, Yuan Zhan, smiled disdainfully, and then sent someone to deliver a cart full of snacks to the author Jun.
