Chapter 415: Chapter 416

Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, it is the day when the autumn examination will be released. Only 300 people will be selected out of thousands of people. The competition is very fierce. Among the 300 people, only the top 100 people will be called Jinshi, and the last 200 people will be called Jinshi.

However, the same Jinshi is not strictly considered a Jinshi. Many people would rather choose to take the exam again after three years, and do not want to stop here.

Among the Jinshi, the ten most outstanding people were selected to conduct the palace examination. Emperor Chengde personally set the questions and answered them on the spot, and then let Emperor Chengde review and select the top three.

And these ten people were announced by the officials one by one before the announcement of the rankings, and asked them to prepare for the palace examination three days later.

Qiao Yuan'an was one of these ten people.

On the day when the rankings were released, the weather was fine and cloudless.

Lu Chao stayed up almost all night. Today was a happy day for him in the second half of his life. He was so nervous.

It was the tension that I never had before when I got married.

After breakfast, Lu Chao went to Qixia Courtyard.

Lu Xiang had just combed her hair and was about to have breakfast, when she just sat down, she heard Lu Chao's yelling outside.

"Third Sister, Third Sister, Third Sister..."

Lu Xiang couldn't help tightening her hands holding the chopsticks.

Soon, he saw Lu Chao's handsome face like a scorching sun appearing in front of his eyes, smiling brightly.

Lu Xiang rolled her eyes speechlessly.

To be honest, Lu Chao came to her as if nothing had happened after being beaten up by himself, but he still looked for her as if nothing had happened. Lu Xiang was impressed by his tolerance.

Even my sister-in-law forgave him, for the sake of my sister-in-law, shouldn't I treat him a little better?
As soon as Lu Xiang regained consciousness, she saw Lu Chao's magnified face very close to her, so scared that Lu Xiang stretched out her hand to hit him.

"Oh, Lu Xiang, you have to correct the mistakes you have made." Lu Chao covered his forehead and stepped back, "It's also fortunate that I am your brother. You have to try hitting someone else to see if he can do it." Let you go."

"Most people wouldn't come that close to talk to me."

Lu Chao sat down opposite Lu Xiang, reached out and grabbed a bun and stuffed it into his mouth: "I'm talking to you, who told you to be distracted?"

Well, this bun tastes good.

"Yun Zhe, scoop me a bowl of porridge." Lu Chao ordered bluntly.

Yun Zhe took a look at Lu Xiang, seeing that his master was driving away in anger, so he hurriedly filled a bowl of porridge for Lu Chao, and handed him a pair of chopsticks.

Lu Chao began to eat in a flustered manner.

Lu Xiang: "..."

She doesn't seem to have ordered the servant to be harsh on Lu Chao, why does this guy look like he hasn't eaten for three days?

"Didn't you have something to tell me?" Lu Xiang quickly snatched the last spring roll on the plate and stared at Lu Chao.

Enough mud, it's okay to come uninvited, she can bear to eat her breakfast, if there is nothing left, it is too much.

Lu Chao seemed to realize that what he was doing was a little unkind, he twitched the corners of his mouth in embarrassment, silently withdrew his hand, looked at the indifferent white porridge, and silently put down his chopsticks.

"The list is released today, and I'm here to invite you to witness my glorious moment together."

"Are you sure you didn't tell me to watch the joke about your failure?" Lu Xiang unceremoniously stabbed him in the heart.

Lu Chao was so angry that he choked: "Bah, bah, can you hope that I can make something better, so you don't want Qiao Qiao to come back?"

Lu Xiang opened his mouth, unable to answer the words.

How could she not want her sister-in-law to come back.

"It's not the number one scholar parading the streets. If there's anything to see, I'll ask Wenzhu to show you it later, and I'll tell you when I come back." Lu Xiang said.

Lu Chao shook his head and said seriously: "What's the matter, of course I have to go to such an important moment in person."

"Oh, big brother, go slowly." Lu Xiang had a look of willingness to leave.

"Let's go together, I have reserved a seat at Chunmanlou." Lu Chao said.

Lu Xiang shook her head: "I don't want to go."

Lu Chao: "Qiao Qiao is going too. If you don't go, won't it make her feel that you don't want her to come back?"

"When did I ever think that way? Don't talk nonsense." Lu Xiang stared at Lu Chao and said.

"You don't care about me, you just don't expect me to be on the list, you don't want me to be good, you just don't want her to come back." Lu Chao complained righteously.

Lu Xiang: "..."

You've spent all your time thinking about these fallacies, right?

In the end, Lu Xiang couldn't bear Lu Chao's violent bombardment and left with him.

When I was about to reach the front yard, I ran into Lu Qiao: "Big Brother, Third Sister, where are you going?"

When Lu Chao saw Lu Qiao, he immediately smiled and said, "Sixth Sister came just in time, let's go out of the house together with Brother."

"Brother, is he going to see the list?" Lu Qiao asked.

Lu Chao nodded: "That's right, what's the point of waiting in the mansion, today is a good day for big brother, I invite you to eat delicious food at Chunmanlou."

Uh……

The corner of Lu Qiao's mouth twitched undetectably, and she thought to herself.

Brother, are you overconfident?
You haven't even seen the shadow of the emperor's list, you have already uttered nonsense here, and you are not afraid of failing the list, won't you be slapped in the face when the time comes?
But the elder brother was very interested, and she couldn't spoil his interest, so she said:
"Okay."

The main entrance of the Gong Yuan was crowded with people, everyone was waiting for the imperial list to be posted, and those with good status and family would send their servants there.

Chunman Building is very close to the Gongyuan, and occupies a better location. When Lu Chao arrived with Lu Xiang and Lu Qiao, it was already very lively inside, and many people were sitting here waiting for news.

In the private room on the third floor, Qiao Jingru pulled Qiao Yuan'an and Qiao Zeran to sit inside.

Qiao Zeran was sitting by the window, looking at the dark head at the gate of the Gongyuan with great interest, and said to Qiao Jingru without looking back: "Sister, I didn't mean you, the second brother didn't see you in the list So excited, Lu Chao is still out of the question, you actually called us two so early?"

Qiao Jingru looked at the back of her third brother's head, and rolled her eyes: "Third brother, I didn't ask you to come here."

She clearly only planned to come by herself. He and his second brother sat in the main hall of the front yard early in the morning and waited for her. When they saw her going out, they followed without a word.

It's too much to turn black and white now.

"Also, I'm not excited when my second brother passed the exam. Don't slander me."

"Lu Chao works so hard this time, he will definitely pass the exam."

Qiao Yuanan took a sip from his teacup, and said with a light smile, "I also think the possibility of passing the exam is very high, but I don't know whether it is a Jinshi or a fellow Jinshi."

It would be a pity if it was a fellow Jinshi.

But Uncle Lu is an official or doctor, so he can still walk through the door. Compared with the poor students, it is not difficult for Lu Chao to become an official.

When Qiao Jingru heard Qiao Yuanan's affirmation of Lu Chao, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but rise: "Third brother, did you hear that? Second brother made up for Lu Chaowen's homework. What he said is absolutely credible."
