Girls from all over the country were sent to Jindu one after another, totaling 3,158 people; on the sixth of April, the boy's test was launched, and on April 20th, these girls held the primary election. The nanny in the palace spent three days to test them, leaving behind 1,966 qualified girls. The eliminated girls did not return to their hometown, but stayed to be palace maids.

These girls went through the re-election and final election, and in the end, a total of 372 girls moved into Changchun Palace and Xianfu Palace. The boy test also ushered in the final palace test. Pangpang and Zhuangzhuang successfully passed the first two tests, with their rankings above the middle. With their ability, they could get better rankings, but Cheng Jue had already instructed in advance, "Where is shining in the forest, the wind will destroy it."

Among the 372 girls, some were successively accused of being defeated by some declining clans, but there were still 329 girls left in the palace. Under Taoist Master Huichun's persuasion, the emperor did not allow the Taoist named Chongxu to take the girls' Yuanhong alchemy.

On the ninth day of the sixth month, Pangpang and Zhuangzhuang participated in the mansion examination. Half a month later, the results of the mansion examination came out and the two became young scholars. The three mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of the Tao family insisted on setting up a few tables in the restaurant to celebrate them. The good news came to Yucheng, and it was already late July. Xu Lang, who had strict requirements for his son, also smiled this time and praised, "These two kids are not bad."

"What this kid, that kid, they are your son." Shen Danxia said coquettishly.

"Yes, my son is very good." Xu Lang changed his words in a good manner.

"Of course, I won't see who gave birth to it." Shen Danxia raised his head proudly.

Xu Lang leaned over, pecked her lips, and said, "Thank you, my wife, for giving birth to two good sons."

"They are five good sons." Shen Danxia stretched out his hand.

Xu Lang smiled, "Five good sons."

Pangpang and Zhuangzhuang, who passed the Boy Examination, stayed in Jindu and studied with Cheng Jue, and did not return to Yucheng again. A year later, Xu Lang had finished his post and the court issued an edict to announce that he would go to Beijing. This was obviously a move to be promoted. Lu Yuan and Cheng Yu would have to stay in office for three years.

My good friends with Xu Lang and Shen Danxia sent their family out of the city. Qin's father also brought Qin Lu to him. Mrs. Qin was pregnant but did not come. Qin's father failed the autumn examination twice in a row. This year, under Xu Lang's guidance, he respected and grateful to Xu Lang and bowed: "Mr. Xu, you have a good journey. If you have any useful things in the future, please speak as long as you want. Qin must do his best."

"Thank you." The reason why Xu Lang gave him guidance was to prepare military rations for Shen Baiyu's elite army.

Qin Lu and Jiao Ziyi said goodbye, "My father will go to Jindu to participate in the spring exam next year. When I have high school, I will pick me up and I to Jindu to enjoy the happiness. We will meet at that time."

"When you come to Jindu, I will take you to go shopping and buy delicious and fun." Jiaozi Xu Nuo.

The two little guys even made an agreement and saw each other.

Traveling from south to north, the weather became colder day by day. The four little guys were restless and always wanted to go out to ride horses. In order to keep them in the carriage, Shen Danxia had to use intellectual problems to arouse their interest.

"Scorpion and crab play rock-scissors and they can't tell the winner after guessing for two days. Why?"

The four little guys frowned and thought for a long time. The buns came up, "They can't make cloth or pounders, they can only make scissors."

"If the bun is right, you can eat a piece of date cake." Chen Danxia smiled.

"Mom, let's ask questions." Jiaozi shouted anxiously. He also wanted to eat date cake.

"A goat with his left eye blind has a piece of beef on its left and a piece of pork on its right. Which piece does it eat?" Chen Danxia asked.

"Eat pork." Dumplings answered quickly.

Chen Danxia shook his head, "No."

"Eat beef?" Zhuozi replied hesitantly.

"Not right." Chen Danxia smiled.

"Sixth brother, you are so stupid. Sheep eat grass, and they don't even eat beef and pork." Mantou interjected.

"Mantou is right, eat a piece of date cake." Chen Danxia took out a piece of date cake from the drawer.

Jiaozi and Gao Lei drooled when they saw that their two brothers were eating sweetly.

"I continued to set the questions. What has four legs but can't walk?" Chen Danxia continued to set the questions.

Jiaozi and Gao Lei still didn't answer the questions, but the answer was steamed buns. Next, Chen Danxia asked several more questions, and both of them were not right. Seeing that Baozi and Baibun were about to finish a packet of date cake, Jiaozi couldn't help but say, "Mom, can you give me a simple one?"

"Get a simple one, okay, what kind of cloth can't be cut with scissors?" Chen Danxia asked with a smile.

Dumplings thought for a while, "waterfall."

Chen Danxia also gave him a piece of date cake, "What's the more you wash it, the dirtier it gets?"

"I know this, I know this, it's water, it's water." Gao Lei shouted anxiously.

"If Huajuan is right, you can also eat a piece of date cake." Chen Danxia said with a smile.

After playing this kind of intelligence game for three days, the four little guys became a little bored. Moreover, Chen Danxia could not think of so many sharp turns in his brain, so he told them stories. She didn't have the ability of Zhang Shancong and could completely restore a book. She only knew one rough idea, and the details in it were all compiled by herself.

For example, in "Journey to the West", the beginning of the book is: The poem says: The chaos has not been divided into chaos in the world, and no one sees the vastness. Since Pangu broke the Hongmeng, he has developed the distinction between the clear and turbidity. He has covered all living beings and admired benevolence, and found that all things have achieved goodness. If you want to know that the creation will bring about the essence of the original achievements, you must read the explanation of the misfortune of Journey to the West.

Chen Danxia's statement began with: "A long, long time ago, in a place called Aolai Kingdom, there was a Huaguo Mountain. There was a huge fairy stone on the mountain. There was a fairy stone cracking. A stone egg rolled out of the stone. This egg..."

Chen Danxia has a good ability to compile stories. At least even Xu Lang listened to it, hugged her at night and joked: "My wife has a lot of skills, so she can make up such a fantastic story."

"You can compile it by reading more miscellaneous books and stories." Chen Danxia couldn't tell the truth, so he could only lie.

Twenty-five days later, Xu Lang's family was only half a day away from Jindu. When Pangpang and Zhuangzhuang received the news, they were not afraid of the cold, waiting at Wuli Pavilion outside the city. Seeing the carriage coming, Pangpang and Zhuangzhuang greeted them.

However, outside the city was not a place to talk. The family only met once and did not talk much. They got on the horse, got on the bus, got on the bus, and went into the city. They went back to the Xu family. Sun Zhenniang knew that Xu Lang's family was coming back more than half a month ago, so she had already asked the Fu Po and the others to clean up Lingxiyuan.

After Xu Lang's family arrived in the capital half an hour, Empress Zhao in the palace knew, "Does that evil son arranges any position for him?"

"Reply to the Queen's words, the right assistant minister of the Ministry of War is vacant." A tall and thin eunuch replied.

Empress Zhao snorted coldly, "Xu Lang is less than forty years old this year. Can he sit steadily by letting him become a third-rank official? Arrange people to take action, and this position will be topped by ours."

The eunuch took the order and left.

The next day, Xu Lang did not rush to go to the Ministry of Personnel, and was preparing to go again after the New Year, accompanying Chen Danxia to return to the Shen family. The mother and daughter hadn't seen each other for six years and missed each other very much. Chen Danxia entered the house and before she could salute Tao, she was hugged by Tao. Her eyes were slightly red, and she clenched her fists and pounded her back a few times, "You bad girl, you are willing to come back."

"Mom, it's not that I don't want to come back, it's that the journey is too far." Chen Danxia said in a sweet voice.

"Is the road hard?" Mrs. Tao asked with concern.

"Fortunately, it's not too hard." Chen Danxia smiled.

Tao asked her about some things in Yucheng again. In fact, many things were written by Chen Danxia in the letter, but Tao still wanted to listen to her say it again. After asking her daughter, she met her grandson. Tao had time to take care of her son-in-law. "Lang Ge'er, how are you doing when you go back to Beijing to report your work this time?"

"I have a top pick this time, and my boss is very satisfied with me." Xu Lang said with a smile.

"But can I upgrade to another level?" Dow asked expectantly.

"It should still be the third rank." Xu Lang already knew that the King of Yan had left the Right Minister of War for him.

"That's considered a little promotion." Tao smiled with relief. The son-in-law's official fortune did not change too much because of her. In the practice of the Dafeng Dynasty, it was difficult to be promoted to a fifth-rank official after being promoted to a fifth-rank official, and it was even more difficult to be promoted to a fourth-rank official. Tao had always been worried that Xu Lang would not have the outstanding military achievements in his previous life and would have been at the fifth-rank official for a long time, and then released, and she was worried that Xu Lang would not be able to return to Beijing. Now, Xu Lang not only returned to Beijing so soon, but also could be firmly in the third-rank official.

The next day, Xu Lang accompanied Chen Danxia to Renyi Bo Mansion. Chen Danxia and Jin's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law chatted in the backyard, while Xu Langze and Tao Kan and his son talked in the frontyard.

"For the food and grass, thank you for your help." Xu Lang thanked sincerely. He and Shen Danxia have no father-son (father-daughter) relationship. After learning about the Peng family's plan, Xu Lang and the Peng family were also alienated. The Tao family has always treated Chen Danxia well. Tao Kan even treated his nephew and niece as their biological sons, and his uncle took his father as his father. Xu Lang was willing to get closer to the Tao family.

"If you don't talk about two families, you'll know this. Now the court is messy. In the past, people said that I was a celebrity in front of the emperor, but now I, a celebrity, have not seen the emperor for three months. The emperor is determined to seek immortality from the Tao." Tao Kan said with a wry smile.

"Are the women who were the folk talent show two years ago still alive?" Xu Lang asked in a deep voice.

"There are still alive." Tao Kan was responsible for the procurement of the palace. The supply of Changchun Palace and Xianfu Palace showed that there were still people living there, but the supply was reduced compared to two years ago. As for whether the Taoist priest was taken to refine alchemy or died for other reasons, it is unknown. The harem was the territory of Zhao Hou, and it was not easy to put people in.

The next day on the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month, Xu Lang took his sons to the Peng family. No matter what, the Peng family was Xu Lang's foreign family, and the relationship was difficult and it was also broken. Chen Danxia did not travel with him because Peng Xin was embarrassed to meet with Wen and Mrs. Peng. It would be better to avoid it or avoid it.

In the afternoon, Chen Danxia was cutting the window flowers. Sun Zhenniang came over and chatted about gossip for a long time. Chen Danxia saw something hidden in Sun Zhenniang and said, "Fourth brother and sister, if you have something to do, just tell me."

Sun Zhenniang looked down at the hand warmer in her hand, and after a long time, she said, "San Sister-in-law, this matter is considered a family scandal. I didn't want to bring it out, but I really couldn't think of a good way to help my cousin. San Sister-in-law has always been resourceful, and I don't care about that much. I just hope that San Sister-in-law will not tell others about this."

"Fourth brother and sister, you respect me so much. How can I be called resourceful?" Chen Danxia was unwilling to participate in other people's family affairs.

"San Sister-in-law, just treat me as an illness and seek medical treatment. I beg you to help me with this matter." Sun Zhenniang said in tears.

It seems that she can't help but not listen to this matter. Chen Danxia smiled bitterly and said, "Tell me what it is."

"My cousin is the second son of Dongrong Bo Mansion and the rank of the fourth-rank city guards. My cousin has been married to him for seventeen years and has three sons and two daughters. We relatives and friends always think that they have a deep affection for each other." Sun Zhenniang said slowly.

Chen Danxia frowned. When she heard the words "Deep Love of the Couple", she inexplicably thought of General Cao and Mrs. Cao. The couple had been in love for more than twenty years before they realized that everything was fake. I wonder what happened to this couple who had deep love. Chen Danxia thought so and asked this question.

"He carried my cousin's back to raise the outdoor room, and that room also had a pair of children with him. The eldest daughter was fifteen years old and the younger son was thirteen years old." Due to his appearance, Sun Zhenniang was very disliked. Only this cousin was very kind to her. It was because Sun Zhenniang was so angry after learning about this, and she would not care about her family's ugliness and tell Chen Danxia about the matter, in order to find a way to help her cousin.

"You just said that your cousin married him for seventeen years." Chen Danxia frowned.

"Yes, it happened to be seventeen years old. The eldest son born to my cousin is only fourteen years old this year." Sun Zhenniang replied.

Judging from the age of the child, the man and Sun Zhenniang's cousin got married and kept the outdoor room shortly after they got married, and it is very likely that the outdoor room had existed before they got married. He was such a scumbag, and he had "true love" and even cheated on the marriage.

"My cousin is very sad and angry, but she doesn't know how to vent her anger. My aunt is old and afraid that she will get angry, so my cousin dares not tell her. But my cousin keeps this matter in her heart, and she doesn't want to live anymore, so she comes to me to tell her. Third sister-in-law, I really want to help her, but I don't know how to help?" Sun Zhenniang pinched the handle of the handwarmer with her hands white. Chen Danxia lowered her head and pondered for a moment, and asked, "How did your cousin know about this?"

"The daughter born in the outdoor room is over. If you want to talk about it, the outdoor room cannot be on the table. He asked my cousin to help us see the marriage." Sun Zhenniang gritted her teeth, and she was really shameless.

The identity of the outer child is even lower than that of the illegitimate child. Dong Rong Bo's second son was also in a hurry to seek medical treatment. In order to find a good marriage for the child, he confessed to his legitimate wife about the outer child and the outer child. He really felt that the fire was a big deal, and his legitimate wife had no choice but to break his teeth and swallow it.

"What kind of people are Dong Rongbo and Mrs. Dong Rongbo?" Chen Danxia asked.

"I am fair and value the legitimate and illegitimate, and I cherish my cousin very much." Sun Zhenniang replied.

"In this case, this matter will be easier." Chen Danxia thought about it and said in detail to Sun Zhenniang.

After hearing this, Sun Zhenniang said, "I will tell my cousin this way."

"Just say you thought it out yourself, don't mention me." Chen Danxia reminded.

"I know, don't worry, third sister-in-law." Sun Zhenniang left with a smile.
