Chapter 229: Mountain Temple Peach Blossom

Tao and Shen Danxia did not think there was anything wrong with being a Jinshi. In Tao's opinion, as long as their children live well and their limbs are healthy, they are fine. As for fame and fortune, Chen Danxia felt that the tribute exam was like a college entrance examination. If they couldn't get into Tsinghua University and Peking University, they would have the same promising career in other schools. She remembered that there was a character in a TV series that was very reasonable. If they were admitted to that school, that school was the best school. So it was good that her brother could get into a Jinshi.

The mother, sister and Yue family have this attitude. Shen Baiyu, who had been wilted for a whole day, recovered his energy. Early that morning, he rushed to Zhiyuan excitedly, "Sister, go."

"Where to go?" Chen Danxia asked.

"I made an appointment with someone to Cuju and take you to watch it." Shen Baiyu said with a smile. He didn't have to participate in the palace examination, so he didn't have to read books anymore, and he returned to his previous free life.

"Don't go." Chen Danxia refused very simply. In ancient times, Cuju and modern football, two teams were mixed together and ran around. She was confused when she saw it. She liked to watch volleyball and table tennis.

"Why not go? It looks very good, I kicked high and accurate." Shen Baiyu advocated.

Chen Danxia had not refused again, and Shou Woman came in, "Oh, Second Master, you should go out as soon as you want to go out, but you can't take the girl out. Now the girl is a married person, so you can't go out at will."

"Sister, you are so pitiful." Shen Baiyu reached out and rubbed Chen Danxia's head sympathetically.

Chen Danxiaheng glanced at him and said, "I don't feel pitiful. I'm not you. I won't go out if I don't go out." Although there is no computer or mobile phone for her to play at home every day, she also has a lot of things to do for Tao in the morning, go to the Chouyuan to play with March 3rd, go back to the room to practice calligraphy and chess, read chess records and read the storybooks, learn rules in the afternoon, learn perfume, and learn cooking. Life is fulfilling, and she really doesn't care whether she is not going out.

"Then you stay at home to play. I'm out. I'll bring you something delicious later." Shen Baiyu said as he walked out. When he walked to the door, he suddenly remembered something and stopped and turned around, "Mom Shou, why do you call me the second master? Don't call me the second master?"

"Mrs. Just now, the eldest grandma has become a young master, and the name at home must be changed. From now on, you will be the second master. The child born by the eldest grandma and the second grandma will be the young master." The Shou Woman smiled.

"Oh, I understand." Shen Baiyu walked out across the threshold.

The reason why the Tao family changed its name was because Yuan Qingyin was more than a month pregnant. I don’t know if the second ones were a little second. The second young master’s personality is exactly the same as Shen Baiyu’s second uncle, and he looks more like Shen Baiyu than Shen Baiyu’s own son. Shen Baiyu also likes this second nephew the most.

In the blink of an eye, the palace examination began on April 16th, and the palace examination was also one day. In the morning, the morning was Chen and the papers were handed over at the end of Shen. The next day, the emperor personally presided over the papers, and the papers were handed over by the emperor, so that they could take turns to circulate them, using symbols to show the advantages and disadvantages, with circles as the best and forks as the worst. In the end, the ten test papers with the most circles were presented to the emperor for personal review and the ranking was designated.

Although all those who participated in the palace examination could be called the emperor's disciples, in fact, the emperor did not have so much spare time. He only evaluated the top ten, and the other ones were ranked by the ministers. In three days, the document reader finished reading all 100 papers, presented the best ten papers to the emperor, and summoned these ten tribute scholars to the palace for the emperor to read.

Among the ten Gongshis, there was no Gu Youguang, only Qiao Zhijia and Shen Bomi. Gu Youguang said with a sad face: "I am really worried that I will fall into the third grade."

"The overall situation is now settled, and it's useless to worry about it. Even if you fall into the third grade, it's nothing. It's not bad to be with Jinshi. Let's go with me and go around the streets and buy some ancient books of Cuju. Brother Cui, let's go together." Shen Baiyu pulled Gu Youguang and Cui Chengda out.

After the tribute examination, Shen Baifeng and Zhao Shifei did not come to Chen’s house often. They were worried that Chen Muke would not be reliable and were looking for another way to find a way to find an official position.

Qiao Zhijia, as Chen Muke expected, entered the first place, and because of his outstanding appearance, he was named Tanhua Shen Bomi and won the second place first place, which is fourth place. Gu Youguang's ranking later, he was ranked 53rd, and was the last place second place, and at least he did not become a fellow Jinshi.

The ranking of the palace examination is certain. People will come out to watch where the new Jinshi passes on the way, beating drums and drums, and the sound of suona. The new Jinshi rides on horseback according to the rankings. In front are one hundred imperial guards wearing imperial uniforms riding horses, then musicians holding musical instruments, then three hundred Jinshi, and behind are one hundred city guards wearing official uniforms.

There are many people standing on both sides of the road watching the fun. There are people on the second floor watching with windows open. Most of them are ladies who are not easy to show up. Everyone wants to see what the top scholar looks like, but generally the most popular one is Tanhualang. He can be a Jinshi of Tanhualang and generally has a better appearance.

If Qiao Zhijia looks like Zhao Chengzhi and Xu Lang, he is just a little above average. However, if he compares with the top scorer in his thirties and the second scorer in his 40s, he becomes a handsome handsome man. In addition, the top scorer in his equally good looks, the top scorer in his ordinary appearance and the second scorer in his thirties are disliked by the public.

The bold girl kept throwing flowers, sachets and handkerchiefs at Qiao Zhijia and Shen Bomi, and waved to them, "Look at me and look at me."

When Yuan Qingyin saw this, she curled her lips jealously, "Are all women so thick-skinned nowadays?"

"March 3, do you smell a sour smell?" Chen Danxia teased Xiao Huangning.

Xiao Huangning was still young and couldn't understand, so she laughed at Chen Danxia. Yuan Qingyin patted Chen Danxia shamelessly and annoyed, "Hate it."

Chen Danxia smiled and went to the table to get two flowers, one for Yuan Qingyin and the other for Chen Danxun, "Don't let others be beautiful, you two will lose flowers too."

Chen Danxun felt a little embarrassed. Yuan Qingyin took the flowers, lay down at the window, and shouted outside: "Honey, my husband, take flowers, take flowers."

Shen Bo looked at him and saw Yuan Qingyin holding a bright red flower, waving at him, and was startled. What did this woman do if she was not at home to raise her baby?

Yuan Qingyin didn't know that he was worried about her, so she happily threw the flowers to him, and shouted, "Tanhualang, wait, my fifth sister also has flowers to give to you." Then she urged Chen Danxun to throw the flowers quickly.

Chen Danxia pushed Chen Danxun to the window, "Twist it quickly, you'll be passing in a while."

Chen Danxun looked down at Qiao Zhijia, who was riding on the horse and looking up, with his eyes facing each other. The unmarried couple had the first time they met. Chen Danxun pursed his lips and smiled, threw the flowers in his hand out, Qiao Zhijia continued, like others, and tied the flowers on his head.

The top scholar, second-level scholar and Tanhua entered the Hanlin Academy as usual, and were respectively awarded the positions of Hanlin Academy editor and Hanlin Academy editor. The second-level scholars were respectively awarded the positions of review, doctor of the Five Classics, classics, etc. Some of the third-level Jinshi were exiled to serve as magistrates and county magistrates, while others had to wait for vacancies.

Qiao Zhijia is the editor of the Hanlin Academy of Sciences, Shen Bomi is the reviewer of the Hanlin Academy of Sciences, Gu Youguang is the doctor of the Hanlin Academy of Sciences, and Cui Chengda went to Guitian County, not far from his hometown to be the magistrate of the ninth magistrate. Shen Baiyu not only has a third-rank father, but also a father-in-law of the first-rank marquis. In addition to his future brother-in-law Xu Lang and the eldest prince Gao Ju, he was sent to Changping County, which is only a day and a half away from Jindu City. Shen Baifeng and Zhao Shifei were unwilling to be released and looked for ways everywhere, wanting to stay in Jindu City. Since the two of them stopped coming to Shen's house, Chen Muke has stood by and watched them, and was ungrateful, wasting his thoughts.

On the evening of the 27th, the mother of Renyi Bo’s Mansion came over. The next morning, Jin came over and took Chen Danxia to Xiangguo Temple with Tao, where she "coincidentally" met the wife of Lord Wu, the Dali Temple who went to burn incense and her fourth-ranked daughter. Even if Tao did not say that, Chen Danxia knew that this was not a real coincidence, it was just an appointment.

Just a few days ago, Tao Kan had already helped Tao Shen to make a marriage with this girl Wu Si. Today, before the two families decided to make a marriage, Jin looked at the girl who was about to become a daughter-in-law. She and Tao were here to chat with Mrs. Wu, and Chen Danxia had a great task. She was responsible for observing the girl Wu Si and understanding her personality. The first two daughters-in-law married well, and the last one had to be carefully checked. Jin didn't want to marry a disaster and went home, causing trouble, and she wanted to live a comfortable life. When she married her young daughter-in-law back, she would completely let go, and she would eat, drink, have fun, and ignore everything. As for the eldest grandson who would talk about being married in a few years, it would be his parents, who would have been in charge of each other. She, the grandmother, did not care about that leisure.

Miss Wu Si was three months younger than Chen Danxia. She looked pretty and smiled, and there were two dimples on the corner of her mouth, which was pretty and sweet. With Chen Danxia’s understanding of Tao Shen, the little cousin, he liked the appearance of this Miss Wu Si.

Jin and Tao smiled on their lips and stared at Miss Wu Si without blinking. Although Miss Wu Si was a little shy, her face was flushed and her eyelids drooped, and her thick eyelashes were trembling slightly, she did not dodge. She knew that this was something she had to experience and let the two of them look at it.

"What do the fourth girl likes to do at home on weekdays?" Tao asked with a kind smile.

"Auntie, my boudoir name is Xiang. My aunt can call me Xiang Jieer." Wu Xiang smiled. "I read and practice calligraphy or do needlework at home. I have to help my mother with the housekeeper, or teach a few nieces and nieces to read and practice calligraphy."

Jin and Tao exchanged their eyes. Mrs. Wu observed the words and expressions. Seeing this, she knew that the sister-in-law was satisfied with her own girl. She smiled and said, "It's not that I want to boast about myself. My sister Xiang is really obedient and sensible. She is my most caring little cotton jacket."

"My sister Xia is the same, she is the most considerate." Tao immediately praised her daughter in agreement.

Chen Danxia, ​​who was praised, could not sit next to him and do nothing. He asked with a smile: "What books do Sister Xiang like to read?"

"The Four Women's Books, Biography of the Strange Girls, and I occasionally read books like travel notes. What kind of books does Sister Xia like to read?" Wu Xiang said with a smile.

Chen Danxia smiled and said, "I also like to read travel notes, books like the Four Women's Books and the Biography of the Fierce Girls. I don't like to read them, but my mother forced me to read some, and I felt that it was meaningless."

"It's meaningless." Wu Xiang agreed. She didn't like to watch, and she was forced to watch by her mother.

After chatting for a while, Jin smiled and said, "We say that the two little girls don't like to listen. You should go to the temple to play, and you won't be restricted." If you want to say something that the two little girls should not listen, you can find an excuse to beat the two of them away. Moreover, the girl's family is easy to hold in front of her elders, and it is easier to reveal her nature in front of her peers.

The little shaman who came in to change the refreshment smiled and said, "There is a whole peach forest behind the temple. Now it is the season when peach blossoms are in full bloom. From a distance, it looks like clouds falling from the sky. The peach blossoms also emit fragrance, which makes people fascinated. If the two donors do not dislike it, they can go to the peach forest for a walk."

"Thank you, Master, for telling me, sister of the Wu family, let's go see the peach blossoms." Chen Danxia smiled.

"Okay." Wu Xiang came out of the Zen room without any objection, "At this time the peach blossoms in the back mountain are about to wither?"

The little shaman smiled and said, "The peach blossoms on the mountain bloom more than a month later than the peach blossoms at the foot of the mountain. This is the time when the peach blossoms bloom."

"In April, the flowers on earth are gone, and the peach blossoms in the mountain temples are blooming." Chen Danxia laughed and recited a Tang poem.

Wu Xiang smiled, "Sister Chen is so arrogant."

Chen Danxia smiled embarrassedly and said, "I'm just talking nonsense."

The little novice monk pointed out the direction for them, and the two took their maids to the back mountain. Chen Danxia had already reached the bride and got engaged. Even though she didn't like it, she still followed the rules and put on a curtain. A long white gauze curtain hung in front of the hat, which reached her waist.

After leaving the back door of the temple, I arrived at the peach forest from a distance. After walking into the peach forest for more than a hundred steps, I heard the sound of flowing water slowly along the mountain road. Soon I walked to the stream and walked to the clear water. The stream water was clear, and pink peach blossom petals floated on the stream. Small fish swam by the stream, and the sun shone directly at the bottom of the water. The shadow of the fish was reflected on the stones at the bottom of the water.

"Sister Chen, look, stepping on the stone wool, we can go across the stream to the opposite side. Sister Chen, let's go over and take a look." Wu Xiang said in great enthusiasm.

"Okay." Chen Danxia said with a smile on his chin.

Mo Si led Wu Xiang, Mo Wang held Chen Danxia, ​​and protected the two of them and walked to the opposite shore on the stone mat. Deep in the forest, there was an octagonal pavilion with stone tables and benches in the pavilion. The two of them went in to prepare for a little rest, and then walked back.

At this time, several masked people suddenly rushed out of the forest. Mo Wang said, "Mo Xu, take the girl away." Then he flew out to meet the enemy.

"Girl, let's go quickly." Mo Shi said hurriedly.

The sudden change shocked Wu Xiang, who had never experienced such a thing, and Chen Danxia ran outside the pavilion. She didn't follow her, turned around and grabbed her arm and pulled her away.

A man in green jumped off the peach tree and rushed towards the masked men. Mo Shi took a break from his busy schedule and told Chen Danxia, ​​"It was the secret guard sent by the master to protect the girl."

"Oh." Chen Danxia pulled Wu Xiang forward. With the help of the man in blue, don't forget that the pressure was greatly reduced, but two to five, the chance of winning is too high.
