The Starting Point of Raising a Husband - Chapter 89
The autumn season is also called the rural exam. The exam starts in August and the results are released in September.
When Shi Qing participated in the autumn festival last year, he still held the idea of ”knowledge changes fate”, and at the same time he couldn’t be too outstanding.
The cautious and low-key appearance is the complete opposite of the present.
Shi Qing squatted next to the rabbit cage with a grass in her hand, and said to Yun Zhi, “I knew that Chang Shu was a bad guy, so I took the test seriously.”
“Maybe he’s the champion right now.”
She could have been the champion by her strength, but now she has become the third flower who relies on her face to eat.
Little Baiyun just gave birth to a litter of six cubs a few days ago.
The color of the bunnies is white and gray, and there are a few gray and white.
Although it is still a little ugly, it is estimated that it will look better when there is more hair.
Not long after the little rabbit was born, it already had a master.
Qian Cancan adopted two, Li adopted two, and Yun Zhi took care of the remaining two.
This afternoon, the temperature was comfortable and there was no wind, so Yun Zhi took the Rabbit family to the small courtyard of the two of them and showed Shi Qing a look.
Shi Qing teased the little white cloud with a green grass, watching its three-lobed mouth move.
Yun Zhi glanced at her sideways, she didn’t believe that she could say that the middle champion was the champion, so he followed suit: “I knew I would be shorter than you—”
“I’ll eat more.”
Shi Qing slapped the back of his hand with grass and glared at him, “Do you have such a height gesture?”
Shi Qing threw the grass into the cage, clapped his hands, and pulled Yun Zhi to stand up, “It’s better than standing on a level ground.”
Yun Zhi stood up on tiptoes, opened his shoulders and straightened his waist, and tried his best to make a clear posture when looking down, “The dignified and upright one is not much shorter than you!”
He said with a little smugness in his tone, “Dad said I’ve grown a lot lately.”
“I don’t even want to tear you apart,” Shi Qing lifted his foot to step on the cloud to hold his toes, “You were wearing clogs in the rain that day, how tall do you have no point in your heart?”
Good guy, the bottom of the clogs is about the same height as the bottom of the flower pot in the Qing Palace.
He was so beautiful, he stood beside her for a whole day, but he didn’t want to sit down.
It was only that day that Shi Qing knew Yun Zhi’s obsession with height.
No wonder I always tiptoed secretly when I stood with her before.
Oh, man.
I don’t care about length or size, nothing new.
Yun Zhi bent his legs, and smugly raised his eyebrows, “I didn’t step on it.”
Shi Qing stepped on his other foot, Yun Zhi turned his toes to the side, dodged, and said in a stern voice, “I didn’t step on it again.”
Shi Qing looked at him, and hugged his arms slowly, “The king of heaven covers the tiger—”
‘The king of heaven covers the earth tiger, and the cloud holds four feet and five feet. The Pagoda Town River Demon, the crow green is not high. ’
Shi Qing just opened her mouth, Yun Zhi immediately came over and covered her mouth with one hand, “You are only four feet five!”
He is more than seven feet!
Shi Qing smiled.
Yu Qing is proud of her petite size.
Shi Qing pushed Yun Zhi’s hand away and asked him, “Does it compare?”
“Compare.”
Yun Zhi lifted the hem of his clothes and tucked it into his belt, pointed at his feet to show Shi Qing, “Look carefully, my heels are touching the ground.”
Even if you lose, you will lose with integrity.
He glanced at it, and stopped on the ground under the corridor, “Come.”
Shi Qing took off his shoes, “Be fair.”
Yun Zhi paused for a while, then hesitantly bent over to take off his shoes, and muttered, “The soles of these shoes are not high.”
He likes the clogs on rainy days so much, the height of the soles gives him confidence as a man!
It’s a pity that it can’t be worn every day.
Fortunately, the corridor is cleaned every day, and it is not dirty.
Yun Zhi put the shoes aside, stood up straight and looked at Shi Qing.
Shi Qing took half a step forward.
The distance is shortened, and the two are suddenly very close.
Yun Zhi originally looked at her hand judging her height, but when she looked at it, she saw Shi Qing’s beautifully shaped lips go up, and her Adam’s apple slid up and down.
“I see clearly.” Shi Qing suddenly reminded him.
Yun Zhi suddenly returned to his senses, his eyelashes fluttered, and his earlobes turned red.
He looked up.
Taking advantage of the moment when he was distracted, Shi Qing hooked Yun Zhi’s belt with the index finger of his other hand, gently pulled forward, and tilted his head to kiss his lips.
Although Yun Zhi still maintains a posture of looking upward, his eyes are full of smiles, and he has obviously guessed Shi Qing’s routine.
Shi Qing raised his eyebrows, and tutted after his lips parted.
Yun Zhi smiled and kissed back.
He wrapped her arms around her waist and led her to the other side of the pillar under the porch. The two stood in the shade and exchanged a deep kiss.
Shi Qing looked down, feeling that Yun Zhi really couldn’t help but flirt.
“Go in, continue?”
Yun Zhi put down his clothes uncomfortably, his body was honest, but his mouth was reserved, “It’s not dark yet.”
Don’t they all say that the day is not so much.
Shi Qing took him by the wrist and walked into the room, “It’s alright, it will be dark when the bed tent is put down.”
Yun Zhi was actually just pretending, he closed the door and didn’t get to the bedside, so he couldn’t hold back his head and kissed Shi Qing’s neck, and said in a hoarse voice that he wanted to help her take off her socks.
…
When honey came over, she only saw the rabbit in the yard and the two pairs of shoes under the porch.
She didn’t dare to approach the main house, afraid of hearing anything, so she quietly lifted the rabbit to a sunny place and fed the grass herself.
Mihe is looking forward to the arrival of the little master.
She felt that the little master would definitely be like these little gray and white rabbits, with both the beauty of the little master and the martial arts of the little master.
However, at the beginning of August, Yunzhi’s menstrual event came on time.
The Qiu Wei exam is also coming with Mr. Yun Zhiyue.
In this part of the capital, the examination site for Qiu Wei is located in the Gongyuan.
In order to prevent fraud, all candidates will be checked from beginning to end when they enter the Gongyuan in advance on August 8th.
Including the small basket brought by the examinee, whether there is any entrainment in the examinee’s hair, clothes, shoes and socks.
I even looked at the skin.
After all, it’s still not cold, and some people will cheat on their palms and thighs. When they enter the examination room, they can cheat by opening the hem.
Shen Yuan, as the chief examiner, will be admitted to the Tribute Academy in advance of the candidates, together with the deputy examiners, in order to prevent the examiners from colluding with the candidates to cheat.
From the beginning of the test, if there is no major event, the Gongyuan can only enter and not leave.
After meeting with the two deputy examiners, Shen Yuan could not help but exchange a few words.
“Master Wang, Master Ma.”
Shen Yuan smiled and cupped her hands, her voice was gentle and elegant, “The two adults have worked hard.”
The two were about the same age, in their forties and fifties.
But the slightly chubby Mr. Wang on the left is from the Fourth Queen’s side, and the long-faced Mr. Ma on the right is a disciple of the Zhen family.
Neither of them are as high as Shen Yuan, not to mention that the other is the wife of the eldest prince.
Seeing Shen Yuan salute, she immediately returned, “Sir Shen has worked hard.”
There are guards walking in the yard outside, checking the examination room and driving away insects and rats.
The three of them looked out together. Everyone was a scholar. When I met Enke, I couldn’t help but sigh.
Master Wang said: “Thanks to the emperor’s sage, the addition of Enke, otherwise the students all over the world will have to wait for another three years. What will happen in these three years, no one can say.”
Master Ma nodded in agreement, “Yes, the cold window has been reading for ten years, just for these short nine days.”
When it came to studying, Shen Yuan seemed to suddenly think of something, “I heard from Changning that the sixth princess has been working very hard in her homework recently. Maybe she is also among the candidates for Enke this time?”
Speaking of the six princesses, Lord Wang folded his hands on his stomach, leaned his upper body back, and looked into the yard, as if he was very interested in how the guards drove away insects and rats.
Master Ma shrugged his shoulders and said in a low voice, “We don’t know this very well, but even if the sixth princess participates in Enke, she will not appear in the Gongyuan. Bar.”
She said, “It may be a separate test paper.”
Shen Yuan glanced left and right, and said with a smile, “It’s just a casual chat, you two don’t be so nervous. It’s what she said about the sixth son’s participation in Enke. She thought that the old man Four was in charge of this Enke, and asked her for the answer in a childish way.”
Master Wang and Master Ma’s eyes trembled slightly, and their hearts were all shocked.
Shen Yuan shook her head, as if to mention casually, but didn’t take it to heart, “It’s really only in her teens, and she hasn’t grown up yet.”
This time, even Lord Ma didn’t dare to speak, but he glanced at Lord Wang on the other side of Shen Yuan, feeling a little uneasy.
Sir Shen is implying something? Could it be that the Fourth Princess is going to use this joke as an excuse to do something to the Sixth Princess?
Although Mr. Ma was anxious, she couldn’t get out of the Gongyuan, and the news could not be passed to Mr. Zhen.
Sir Wang is also apprehensive, what does the concubine mean? Openly implying that the Sixth Princess may be cheating?
The two deputy examiners were suspicious of each other, and the atmosphere was much more tense than before.
Only Shen Yuan smiled slightly, watching the guards in the courtyard with interest.
What about her in the Gongyuan? The answer was secretly spread out the day before the test, that is, tomorrow morning.
In just one day, those people in Beijing who should know the answer should all know it.
The exam questions ordered by the emperor will be sealed three days ago and sent to the Gongyuan this afternoon.
The three of them said they were the main and auxiliary examinations, but in fact they also played a role in restraining each other to prevent someone from peeking at the examination paper and sending out news.
At the moment when the emperor sealed the papers yesterday, the Palace of the First Prince knew the specific content of the exam questions.
And the palace attendant who peeked at the exam questions would definitely insist before she died that she had nothing to do with the sixth princess, and was instructed by the fourth princess.
What could be wrong with the sixth princess?
She just wanted to know the exam questions in advance to facilitate cheating.
After all, with her temperament, she dares to openly ask the fourth child to help her see the answer, what else can’t she do?
As for why the questions and answers were circulated, it must be that the palace attendant sold the answers to the test questions for profit. What does it have to do with her sixth princess.
Nowadays, there are countless hawkers in every bookstore and teahouse selling the so-called “answers”.
And the real answers were sent to those who were more or less related to the Zhen family.
At that time, she became the sixth princess while saying that she was “innocent”, while using the answer to win people over.
Enke’s fraud, this is a big sin to offend scholars all over the world. Even if he can’t take down the sixth, it will hurt the Zhen family’s vitality.
Once there is no strong backing, the sixth princess is really just a child.
Shen Yuan smiled and said, “This Enke is really good.”
After all, the emperor is no longer young. If you wait for another three years, as Lord Wang said, who knows what will happen.
In the afternoon, they were escorted by the Imperial Forest Army, and the three test papers, which were sealed with wax oil red, were delivered to the examiner headed by Shen Yuan.
Shen Yuan put the test papers in the cabinet in public, and affixed seals on the left and right sides.
After the Royal Forest Army left, Shen Yuan said to the two adults Wang and Ma, “I have been busy for a day, so I will go back to the house first, and the two adults will do their own thing.”
“Sir Shen walk slowly.”
Shen Yuan lifted her foot and left.
She has cast the net, waiting for a fish to take the bait tonight.
Master Wang and Master Ma looked at each other with smiles on their faces, but I don’t know what they were thinking.
Master Wang glanced at the cabinet where the exam papers were stored, and said that he must take a look at it at night, lest the surnamed Ma peek at the exam papers and cheat.
Coincidentally, Mr. Ma thought so too.
The two thought of being together, and when night fell, they saw that the lights in each other’s room had been blown out, thinking that the other party was asleep before going out.
Results—
But they met at the door of the house where the test papers were stored.
“…”
The scene was awkward for a while.
The two laughed shyly and pointed at each other, “You ah you.”
Mr. Wang walked over with his hands in his sleeves and asked Mr. Ma, “Want to read the test paper?”
“I’m afraid you want to read the exam paper.” Lord Ma laughed.
“Since we’ve thought of it together, why not take a look at it together?” Mr. Wang suggested.
Master Ma nodded, “Alright.”
The two entered the room quietly, holding up the oil lamp and seeing that the seals of the cabinet storing the test papers were intact, they were relieved.
“I don’t move, you don’t move, this is a big event, if there is any good or bad, it will not only lose our lives, but also the hardships of the world’s students who have studied hard for ten years. “
Master Wang looked at the seal, his heart moved slightly, and said to Master Ma, “You and I are both from a poor family, and understand the meaning of this Enke for people like you and me.”
Master Ma smiled, “You can think like that.”
No matter how different their positions, no matter how much they fight in private, they can’t make fun of the future fate of scholars all over the world.
Although it is only a thin piece of paper, it carries heavy hopes and sustenance.
In any case, it cannot be used as a tool for political battles.
It is rare for the two to have the same opinion on this matter, and they immediately regarded them as confidants, and they agreed to play two games with tea instead of wine.
Whether you are a true confidant or a false confidant, no one can leave the two of them together tonight.
The two of them restrained each other, which was convenient for Shen Yuan.
After Wang and Ma left, Shen Yuan, who was standing in the dark corner, sneered silently.
A great event can only be achieved by unscrupulous means for the purpose. To achieve great things, there must be sacrifices.
Today’s Shen Yuan is not the poor scholar who studied hard in the cold window back then, she is the consort of the current dynasty, the Minister of Rites, and will be the new emperor’s imperial consort in the future.
Shen Yuan gently pushed the door in.
If it is different, there is still a chance and time to save. If you wait until the day after tomorrow for the real exam, it will be too late.
She and Xiao Changning must not use the secret chess in the palace to calculate to the last move, but the result is that the bamboo basket is empty.
Shen Yuan didn’t have much strength when she put the seal on in the afternoon, and now it’s enough to gently peel it off.
She took the exam paper out of the cabinet, faced the dimly lit oil lamp on the desk, took out a small blade, opened the wax seal, and pulled out the exam paper.
Shen Yuan unfolded the paper with both hands, squinting slightly at the oil lamp to look at the exam questions.
The light was too weak, and she didn’t dare to get too close with the paper, it was very difficult to see.
But every time she looked at a question, Shen Yuan’s eyes widened and her breathing tightened.
Same.
The same is true for this question.
It’s all the same!
Shen Yuan raised her head to look at the beam of the house, holding the paper and slightly hooked her lips.
In fact, she and Xiao Changning, even the emperor, are the same kind of people.
The power and initiative must be in your own hands.
Shen Yuan is just fighting for the initiative.
Although she does nothing, the new emperor will not necessarily treat her badly when she ascends the throne in the future.
But this is always a “not necessarily”.
Shen Yuan and Xiao Changning wanted to turn this “not necessarily” into “definitely not”!
Shen Yuan estimated that it was almost time for the patrolling guards to change the guard, so she sealed the test paper with wax oil and put it back, and put the seal again.
Although it will definitely be different after opening the paper, but she is the one who will open the book the day after tomorrow.
As long as she said it was exactly the same, who would dare to say that the papers were torn down?
Shen Yuan blew out the oil lamp, went out lightly, and locked the door again.
She left with her front feet, and the couple “ridge beasts” on the ridge of the rear feet covered the tiles.
Shi Qing poked Yun Zhi’s chest, Yun Zhi nodded.
The two squatted on the ridge and watched Shen Yuan leave before going down.
Shi Qing was carrying something to the left and right, while Yun Zhi secretly unlocked it.
Yun Shaoxia has never done such a thing. Although he has learned it, it suddenly stops working after changing the lock.
In the end, I had to get out of the way and let Shi Qing come.
When he was learning how to unlock a lock from a locksmith, Shi Qing took a few glances, but now she fiddled with the filament twice, and the lock opened.
“…”
Shi Qing glanced at Yun Zhi and whispered, “Idiot.”
“…”
The two pushed the door in and closed the door again.
The room was dark and could not see anything clearly until Yun Zhi took out the night pearl from his arms.
Shi Qing glanced at him in surprise, Yun arrogantly stopped humming at the beginning.
Shi Qing laughed silently.
One of them held the night pearl, and the other took off the seal and took out the paper inside.
Shi Qing opened the bag in his arms, held it with both hands, carefully put the paper he brought in, and wrapped the paper in the cabinet in the bag.
The emperor asked her to enter the palace with Yun Zhi a few days ago, because of the fraud in the scientific examination.
No matter who is involved behind the scenes, you can’t make fun of Enke.
At that time, Shi Qing suggested that the emperor might as well produce two exam papers.
Shi Qing couldn’t tell the emperor that “A” roll “B” roll was taken randomly, so he changed the word –
“Bright Scroll” and “Dark Scroll”.
What everyone sees is the open book, but the real test is the dark book.
Shi Qing and Yun Zhi are responsible for escorting the dark scroll to replace the bright scroll.
There are few people in the Gongyuan tonight, and there are not many guards.
Shi Qing guessed that with Shen Yuan’s temperament, she would definitely confirm the content of the paper first today, so she squatted on the ridge and waited for her to read it before changing.
