After rebirth, I kidnapped the future powerful official

Chapter 299 [Continued] Admission to the Examination
At this time, on the west side of Cai's Mansion, at a very remote street corner, a lot of sundries were piled up.

Next to it, there was an inconspicuous carriage parked, the curtains of which were drawn down.

After a while, a little maid came over and whispered into the car: "Girl, girl, it's a maid."

The curtain of the car was lifted, revealing a beautiful face.

The girl was wearing a phoenix crown and Xiapei, and a bright red wedding gown. When the sky came in, the bright red light dazzled her eyes, and the pattern embroidered with gold silk reflected the dazzling light, making the girl's cheeks look like clouds.

The girl opened her eyes wide, with a hint of hope in them, she opened her lips and asked, "Jing Mo, have you seen him?"

Jing Mo couldn't bear it, but still bit the bullet and said: "No. Girl, they all said that Master Biao hasn't come back yet."

The eyes dimmed a little bit, the girl shook her head, and said in a calm voice: "No, they are lying to you, they will try it tomorrow, my cousin must be back."

At this moment, a woman's voice suddenly sounded from the slanting stab: "Since you know everything, and he refuses to see you, why do you still want to do such a thing?"

There was a hint of hatred in that voice: "Shi Yin, who gave you the courage? How dare you run away from marriage!"

Jing Mo hurriedly turned around, only to see a gorgeously dressed woman coming, followed by several servants.

The woman has sharp and beautiful eyebrows. If you look closely, you can find that she is somewhat similar to Liao Shiyin sitting in the car. Jing Mo saluted hurriedly: "Miss..."

Liao Shifu gave her a cold look, and then looked at Liao Shiyin in the car. The two sisters looked at each other, and Liao Shiyin said without hesitation: "I gave it my own courage. Sister, it's not like I don't want to fight with the king of Yong." Getting married, why is it called running away from marriage?"

Her voice was light and ethereal, like catkins that had nowhere to land.

Liao Shifu's heart softened immediately when she heard this, she frowned, stepped forward, and said, "Shiyin, is Cai Jinghong really that good? It's worth it for you? Do you know that what you do today will make you You ruined your future!"

Liao Shiyin tilted her head slightly, and even smiled: "He is very good."

Hearing this, Liao Shifu couldn't understand the way she looked at her, and her smile gradually faded, Liao Shiyin continued: "The only bad thing about him is that he doesn't like me."

Tears filled her almond eyes, she looked at Liao Shifu, and said: "Sister, I didn't think about anything else, I just... just haven't seen him for a long time, I want to see him, let Jingmo replace me Look at him and tell him... I'm getting married today."

She frowned, shook her head slowly, and stubbornly defended herself: "I didn't think about anything else, I didn't think about anything."

Liao Shifu looked at her, was silent for a long time, then sighed, and said softly: "Shiyin, go back with sister."

Hearing this, Liao Shiyin's tears welled up, blurring everything. .

She heard her own voice and replied softly, "Okay."

In the evening, afterglow fell from the courtyard wall and sprinkled strings of light spots on the ground.

The study was extremely quiet, only the sound of pages turning could be heard. At this moment, Cai Jinghong, who had been sitting all this time, suddenly stood up and opened the north window.

Seeing this, Zeng Jingxian was puzzled and asked, "What are you doing?"

Cai Jinghong stood by the window for a while, then turned around and asked them, "Did you hear any noise?"

Zeng Jingxian listened carefully for a while, only a few birds were chirping, the sound was clear and pleasant, and he asked: "Birds chirping? It has been happening for a few days, why do you suddenly ask?"

Cai Jinghong shook his head and said, "It's not the sound of birds, but the sound of drums."

"Drum music?" Zeng Jingxian asked strangely, "Why didn't I hear it? Brother, did you hear it?"

Cui Yunhao listened intently for a while, then said, "I didn't hear it."

Zeng Jingxian laughed and joked: "Could it be some fairy music that only you can hear?"

Cai Jinghong ignored him, and listened to him by the window for a while, then the voice disappeared again.

This is just a trivial matter, maybe it is just an auditory hallucination as Zeng Jingxian said, but for some reason, he still has something hard to let go of.

When the servants came to deliver dinner, Cai Jinghong asked casually, "Is there anyone playing music around here in the afternoon?"

The young man opened his mouth and was about to answer, when Liu Jin put his chopsticks on the side and replied, "A family is marrying their daughter today, but did you disturb the young master?"

Cai Jinghong said: "There is no noise, I just overheard it by chance."

Liu Jin breathed a sigh of relief, and quickly said: "That's good, the young master and several gentlemen will take part in the test tomorrow, and Madam reminded me so much that nothing goes wrong at this time."

Cai Jinghong smiled and said, "You have worried a lot."

Liu Jin chuckled, and the matter passed easily.

At the end of February, all the candidates for the exam came to the capital one after another throughout the Great Week.

It is now the eighth day of March in the 34th year of Yongtai, the first day of the examination, and at five o'clock, all the scholars crowded in the Tribute Court of the Ministry of Rites, waiting to enter.

Entrance is the same as the rural examination, except that it is stricter. There is no sound in front of the tribute courtyard, and there are officers and soldiers guarding both sides. The atmosphere is solemn and majestic, which makes people tense up unconsciously.

It was already night when all the scholars had entered the arena.

The general examination is the same as the rural examination, and there are three examinations in total. The first examination is on the ninth day of March, the second examination is on the th of March, and the third examination is on the th of March.

This time, the chief examiner of the general examination is He Yinguang, a member of the cabinet, and three other deputy examiners are all Jinshi, Hanlin-born university scholars and first- and second-rank officials, namely Gan Jiemin and Xu Jiajing. With Pan Luyu, there are eighteen fellow examiners, known as the Eighteen Chamber Officials, all of whom were born in the Hanlin Academy to assist in the approval of papers.

The first session of the Four Books and Three Questions was set by today’s son himself. In the middle of the night, the inspector sent the inspector to accompany the minister of the Ministry of Rites, and took the question box to the Gongyuan of the Ministry of Rites. Among them, the main examiner He Yinguang took the lead, and the other three examiners knelt to meet the question box.

At this time, no one was allowed to enter the tribute courtyard, and the minister of the Ministry of Rites stood under the steps, handed over the question box to He Yinguang, and said, "Thank you, He Ge is old."

As a member of the cabinet, He Yinguang is now over half a century old, and his beard and hair are white. Fortunately, he is in good spirits. He nodded slowly, took the question box over, and said, "Servant Ding, go slowly."

The dragon gate of the tribute courtyard slowly closed again. He Yinguang held the test case and walked quickly to the front of the hall. The three deputy chief examiners followed closely, not daring to fall behind. Yinguang took the key and opened the question box. There was a roll of paper inside, which was the first four-book exam questions appointed by the emperor.

He Yinguang handed the three of them a look at the exam questions, and said: "Seal the doors of the hall, and ask the room officer to write the questions."

"Yes."

It wasn't until late at night that the first exam questions were handed out to each examinee. Everyone was refreshed and began to think with the exam questions.

In the dormitory, Cui Yunhao stretched out his hand to dial the wick, and the light turned on instantly. He looked down at the test questions, while meditating, while grinding the ink, until the ink became shiny, then stopped, took the With a pen, write down the first character on the rice paper.

In the lobby, there were three people sitting at the moment, they were the three deputy chief examiners of the exam. The air was silent for a long time, and Gan Jiemin, who was sitting on the right, said, "I think the exam questions this time are slightly inappropriate... ..."

He said something was wrong, and then he had nothing to say.
