Chapter 351 Hu Jinyu, the legitimate daughter of the Hu family!
The next day, Shen Lanxi received the news that Aunt Shen had committed suicide in the correctional room of the Shen Mansion. She thought that someone would make a fuss about this matter. Unexpectedly, she waited and waited until the imperial examination began, but no one came to report her.
I don't want to cause trouble to her, I just want to kill someone and silence her.
No matter who in the palace sent them, they were all from the palace.
She wrote down this account.
The imperial examination began, and Shen Lanxi's work at Beijing and Wei was temporarily handed over to Sun Feng, and she tried her best to cope with the imperial examination.
During this period, there were turbulences among the civil servants and several changes in power, but they had nothing to do with her.
She was simply a showpiece put forward by Emperor Renxiao to show his virtuousness.
With the examiner's salary, he assumes the position of the examiner, but does not do the examiner's business.
"Today the imperial examination officially begins. I wish all students can achieve good results and become the pillars of the Zhou Dynasty in the future..."
After Shen Lanxi's generous and passionate opening remarks, the imperial examination officially kicked off!
"Sir, don't you go for a walk?" Che Mingyuan looked at the old god sitting Shen Lanxi and said with an encouraging tone.
"You want to go see something?"
Che Mingyuan said with emotion: "I have been a student who went to Beijing to take the exam, and a military advisor who charged into battle. I never dreamed that one day I would be able to fulfill my duties as an examiner here."
The best students in the entire Great Zhou Dynasty are here. It is no exaggeration to say that the fate of these people is all in the hands of these examiners.
Fortunately, he is here at this age and has been tempered on the battlefield, otherwise his mentality will definitely be unbalanced.
This is the feeling of having power in your hands and controlling the fate of others!
No wonder so many people have been chasing power through the ages!
Shen Lanxi sat on the Grand Master's chair with a majestic look and said with a smile: "You can go if you want. I will not get close to those candidates today."
Che Mingyuan knew the taboos.
"That's what I meant."
Shen Lanxi closed her eyes and rested her mind.
The students peeked at Shen Lanxi a few times at the beginning. After the test papers were handed out, they no longer had the time to peek, and all focused on answering the questions.
Time flies by and the first scene is over in a blink of an eye.
Shen Lanxi got tired of sitting, so she went in and lay down. When you are hungry, you go in to eat, eat, drink and sleep. The first exam is over.
Then came the second time, the invigilator was replaced, and Shen Lanxi resigned openly.
The students began the second exam.
For five consecutive days, Shen Lanxi worked two shifts in total. By the time the exam was over, most of the students looked pretty good.
On the day the exam ended, several elders of the Shen family came to pick up Shen Yuanxu.
"Go back and rest well. I have to mark the papers with other examiners, so I can only send you here!" Shen Lanxi patted Shen Yuanxu on the shoulder and said.
"Okay!"
This was originally what the elders of the Shen family wanted to say, but Shen Lanxi beat them to it, and they didn't know what to say.
"Yuan Xu, how did you do in the exam?" Shen Congwen asked.
When he asked this question, Shen Lanxi had already turned around and entered the examination hall again.
……
Three days later, the imperial list was posted, and all the students gathered under the imperial city to wait for the release of the list.
This is also the last thing Shen Lanxi does as the examiner, publishing the results!
After the list was posted, students flocked to the Imperial City.
"Is there...?"
"Hit or not?"
Shen Lanxi stood on the imperial city, hands behind her back, looking at the grand occasion with an expressionless face.
"Sir, the imperial list has been posted!" Shen Lanxi took the list and turned around.
"Enter the palace!"
~
"Your Majesty, this imperial examination has come to a successful conclusion. Here is the list of candidates!"
Emperor Renxiao already had a copy of this roster.
"Lan Xi, thank you for your hard work!"
Shen Lanxi said without being humble or arrogant: "Everything is for Da Zhou, no hard work!"
Emperor Renxiao: "After that, there will be the palace examination, so you can come when the time comes!"
Shen Lanxi immediately burst into tears: "Uncle, I've been so nervous these days that I can't sleep because of the imperial examination. After the imperial examination, I just want to sleep well at home for a few days. I won't take part in the imperial examination."
Emperor Renxiao raised his eyebrows: "It's such an honor to be able to take part in the imperial examination. In the future, this will be considered a fortune for old people to talk about."
Shen Lanxi said indifferently: "I don't understand what those literati are talking about."
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
Emperor Renxiao said angrily: "Okay, if you don't want to, forget it. You have made great achievements in this imperial examination. Tell me, how do you want me to reward you?"
Shen Lanxi did not hesitate and said directly: "I want to take a month off from bathing."
Emperor Renxiao's eyes flashed, and he said angrily again: "You are the only one who knows how to hide."
Shen Lanxi smiled flatteringly: "I beg you, uncle!"
"Forget it, just rest. If anything happens to the court, I will summon you immediately. Don't be lazy."
……
After Shen Lanxi left the palace, she first went to Shen's Mansion.
"Greetings, sir!" Shen Yuanxu's wife Hu Jinyu gave Shen Lanxi a blessing gift.
Shen Lanxi smiled and said: "We are all a family, so there is no need to be polite. Originally, Yuan Xu is older than me, so I should call him brother. But now that I have a position, it would be embarrassing for him to call him that."
Hu Jinyu nodded shyly: "Yuan Xu told me."
Shen Lanxi: "You guys live a good life. After a while, I will ask His Majesty for an order to arrange a position in the court for Yuan Xu."
Hu Jinyu paid his respects to Shen Lanxi just to find out what was going on. Seeing her making such a promise, I felt less impatient.
"Let the adults worry."
Shen Lanxi smiled and said: "At home, just call me Lan Xi!"
Hu Jinyu said hello respectfully.
Dinner was served at the Shen Mansion. Shen Congwen didn't eat with him. Mrs. Shen asked a servant to bring it into the room for him.
"Lan Xi, Yuan Xu didn't pass the exam, what will we do in the future?" Mrs. Liu began to worry about her son again.
I am very happy to marry a daughter-in-law from a high family, but I am afraid that I will not be able to control it. If her son is a white boy in the future, he will have to be unable to hold his head up in front of Mrs. Hu!
"Mother, my son has his own arrangements for this matter, so don't worry about it and just eat in peace!"
Shen Conglian rolled his eyes at Mrs. Liu: "Eat carrots and worry about nothing."
Mr. Liu stepped on Shen Conglian under the table. What did he know?
Shen Lanxi is from the eldest room, so she must have made arrangements with the eldest room. If she didn't push her a little bit, what would happen to their second room after a long time?
Miao curled her lips and kicked Shen Congli.
All the good things have been taken up by the second bedroom in the big house, and I don't want them to have the third bedroom.
"Lan Xi, almost all the girls in the family are engaged. Our sons and daughters should also hurry up!" None of the direct sons of the Miao family are engaged.
Originally, she wasn't very anxious. After all, Shen Yuanxu and Shen Yuankun were older.
Now that Shen Yuanxu is married and is still the legitimate daughter of a high-ranking official, Mrs. Miao feels unbalanced.
Shen Lanxi: "The marriages of the younger generations in the family are naturally arranged by the elders in the family. How can I, a junior, interfere!"
Mrs. Shen: "Whether you are a junior or an elder, as long as it is for our Shen family, you can make the final decision on family affairs!"
