The news that the emperor asked Liu Jin to investigate the fraud case in Kechang flew all over the capital that day.

Later, several censors who submitted the memorial were surrounded by experts and said they were handling cases, but they did nothing and just surrounded them.

These families were angry and argued with reason, and said they would impeach the experts.

But the people outside didn't even shirk their eyes. Not to mention that they had submitted an edict to investigate the case, even if they didn't have an oral order, they would really think that they wouldn't die quickly enough.

Some pawn shopkeepers were also taken away by Jin Yiwei, and the pictures and pictures of Jin's Shutong were posted on the surrounding areas of the capital.

On the second day, news all over the streets were full of news that Liu Jin and Eunuch Liu were dealing with the case impartially and preventing Xiao Xiao from falsely accusing important officials of the court.

Another day later, several censors were surrounded. The child who was said to have escaped for fear of crime had not been arrested yet. The date of the palace examination here and the list of the examiners who read the paper have been announced.

Jin Gui's name is on the list of officials who read the papers.

The tributes who received the news all breathed a sigh of relief. This was because the court believed that the fraud case was false and the results of the test would not be invalid.

In addition to several cabinet masters and six ministers of the Ministry of Education, the official reading document included Jiang Mian, a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy and Mao Cheng, a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy.

Coincidentally, on the day when the palace examination review officer was announced, Shen Rui and his wife were visiting Mao’s family, but Yu Jie’er was diagnosed with pregnancy.

In the second year of Zhengde, Yu Jie'er gave birth to a male child, and she never had any pregnancy. She passed on several generations of the Mao family and the elders knew about their family situation. It would be enough to get a male child, and she never had too many expectations.

This time he suddenly became pregnant, and the Mao family was overjoyed, so he naturally wanted to inform Yu Jieer that although her mother was not here, her brother Shen Rui was in Beijing, so he should also know about etiquette.

Shen Rui and Yang Tian were also happy, so they pulled a few more carts of food, clothing and expenses to Mao’s house.

Sister Yu couldn't help but say angrily: "Don't talk about what I sent back in the past, you only gave me one when you came back this time. In just a few days, I've brought so many more!"

Yang Tian held Yu Jie'er's eldest son Xiao Ge'er in his arms and teased him, "That's the same? When he came back, the things were given to you, but this one was given to my little nephew."

Brother Xiao was already obedient and didn't understand it. When he heard his aunt call her nephew, he responded briskly.

It made Yang Tian laugh so hard that he leaned back and forth. He kneaded this little man like a powdered ball for a while, and he was too eager to let go.

Although Yu Jie'er laughed, she couldn't help feeling sad for Yang Tian when she saw Yang Tian likes children so much.

She couldn't help but whisper to Yang Tian: "Don't be impatient, it's the most important thing to keep your body well. Look at me, I wasn't that too anxious at the beginning, and it's been several years since I gave birth to Brother Xiao.

I thought it was just this one seedling, but I didn’t expect that this silent one would come again. If you keep your body well, the fate will come, and the child will come naturally."

Yang Tian’s eyes turned slightly red and nodded, “Don’t worry, I understand everything.”

The atmosphere inside the room was sad, and a servant came in happily outside and reported that the master was elected as the palace examination review officer, and it became lively for a while.

Last year, Mao Cheng was the chief examiner in the Shuntian Prefecture Provincial Examination, and this time he became the palace examination examiner, which is the prelude to the promotion.

The whole family whispered that the young man in his big grandma came with blessings.

Although the Mao family was happy, they were not ostentatious, especially when there was a fraud case in the previous period, they should be more low-key.

The couple were visiting here, so they set up a table with good seats to celebrate with this reason.

Shen Rui had a drink and chatted with Mr. Mao Cheng for a long time before saying goodbye to Yang Tian.

The car just entered Renshoufang, and before he could enter the mansion, he met Shen Lin's car driver.

Shen Rui couldn't help but smile and said, "Brother Lin came after reading the imperial list? Now he is safe, right? He is ready for the palace examination."

Chen Lin looked a little frowning and whispered: "Second Uncle, Zhang Liang came to my house to pay homage to my mother..."

Shen Rui was stunned and hurriedly asked the person to enter the study and talk in detail.

But Zhang Liang was really calm.

When rumors were flying everywhere, he did not come to his father-in-law's house to explain; when the imperial edict for promotion came down, he did not come to his house.

But when the tribute master was secured and he could not escape a Jinshi according to his grades, he went to pay homage to his mother-in-law.

Xie was sick by the rumors. Although Chen Lin tried his best to cover up the truth and repeatedly comforted his mother that it was just spreading rumors and slandering, or deliberately framing it, Zhang Liang never came to the door, and Xie had a deduction in his heart.

Every day, I yelled to leave the marriage, and I talked about why I didn’t send the reply from Jinan Prefecture yet.

However, after Chen Li's appointment, she cried with joy. I wondered if she was very calm, but she calmed down, not as noisy as before.

Zhang Liang came to the door today, and Xie did not shout for a fight or a killing person, but only said coldly that he would not see him.

However, Zhang Liang was about to kneel on the street at the gate when he lifted his clothes.

Chen Lin dared not let him kneel like this? Is the family still worthy of the reputation, especially when his father was just promoted and many people were staring at him, so he had to let someone come in.

Zhang Liang asked Chen Linping to leave, reached out and took out Chen Mei's Geng Tie, and held it in front of Chen Lin with both hands.

Chen Lin was shocked and thought to himself, why didn’t my family mention quitting the quit yet? Are you going to quit?

He couldn't accept this Geng letter, even if he answered it, he would not be able to return it. Zhang Liang's Geng letter was from Xie's side.

Zhang Liangdao wanted to report some things to his mother-in-law. If his mother-in-law wanted to quit the marriage, he would all follow the arrangements.

Chen Lin couldn't do so, so he had to go and talk to Xie, and then he took Zhang Liang into the room.

After sending the servants out of the room, Zhang Liang knelt in front of the sickbed, admitting in an extremely calm manner that he had cursed Liu Jin, and saying that he was trying to avoid being retaliated against.

"I know the hatred in your heart, and if Jiao Fang had not defected to Liu Jin, my grandfather would not have been forced to death. This is also a great hatred in my heart. However, if I was deposed and stayed in the countryside all my life, I would remember this hatred. So what can it do?"

Zhang Liang looked decisive, "As long as I enter the court, I will be revenge one day. "A real man can bend and stretched." Today I will tolerate him for a while. What do I want to do next? How can he restrain my hands and feet? And having this fame will not bring shame to my ancestors."

He put Shen Mei's Geng Tie on his head with both hands and said, "My grandfather went there, and my family left Beijing in panic. It was the Shen family's high moral character, and he did not abandon me. The eldest girl was also useless to waste her youth waiting for me to be filial. I will always be kind to you Remember it in your heart.”

"Today, it was my fault that made you annoyed and hate me. If you want to quit the marriage, I dare not have any complaints."

He smiled bitterly, "As the things that are circulated outside now, even if I retire from the bride with me, I will not defam the reputation of the big girl. But if you need me to do something, I will do my best to avoid the big girl's reputation. The girl has a flawed reputation…”

Chen Lin looked at Xie, but she was not angry or moved. After a while, she said, "Now the palace examination is important, don't think about the other side."

The divorce is not something that can be withdrawn at this time. If the divorce before the palace examination affects the performance of others, it will also make a bad reputation.

It is not easy to take another step in the treatment. Even if Xie is confused, he will not drag his treatment back at this moment.

Zhang Liang went out in response, and went out on his front foot, and sent medicinal materials to eat with his back foot. He didn't leave the marriage, but he had to go around as his in-laws and always gave his mother-in-law something to nourish her body.

Xie did not let him return it, so he accepted it by default.

Chen Lin came to talk to Shen Rui, and sighed, "Zhang Yang just said so much that he wanted to use Liu Jin's power to enter the court, but I was speechless."

Shen Rui said lightly: "Since you are 'borrowing' power, there will be a time to 'repay'. He only said that those silver taels can buy Eunuch Liu's 'power'?

"He is very energetic now, and he feels that no one can tie his hands and feet in the future. Once he steps into the mud, he will find that even without binding, it will be difficult to move forward.

"The Zhang family, Mr. Zhang, was a man who understood the officialdom first. At that time, Zhang Yang was still young and studied hard. I think Mr. Zhang did not teach him much of his official career. If Mr. Zhang was like this..." Shen Rui shook his head. , hard to say.

Zhang Liang is now saying that he wants to take revenge, but he is just a temporary "betray". Who knows if he will continue to be "betrayed" because of other things in the future?

If you have been bent a lot, can you still stretch after being bent for a long time?

It may not be necessary to become Liu Jin's camp in the end.

How many more days can Liu Jin stay?

Judging from what Yang Ting and the other person said that Shou Ge’s attitude towards Liu Jin in the leopard room that day, as long as Liu Jin can still be used by Shou Ge, Shou Ge is afraid that Shou Ge will not touch him.

So it is hard to say whether Zhang Liang will cling to Liu Jin and how far he can go after climbing.

And it may not be a blessing for a person with such a temperament to stand tall.

If it follows Shen Rui's opinion, of course it would be better to withdraw from the marriage.

However, there is a more realistic problem, Chen Mei is not young anymore.

"I also hope that the girl will find a good person." Chen Lin's face became even more bitter.

"My mother is also in a dilemma. Mei Jie'er is eighteen this year. If this marriage fails, we will take advantage of the principle of resigning from marriage and will not turn around and find someone to get engaged. It will take another year or two to do so. Let's talk about marriage again. At that time, the girl in her twenties will have any good marriage."

Chen Li is now the governor of Huguang and a rank of the border officials, but in fact he gives Mei Jie'er a smaller choice.

There were very few people who were decent at the time, and there were very few people who looked for an older wife. There were few who were equal to Chen Li’s family.

It is absolutely impossible to fill a house with someone.

If you don’t look at the portal and find a potential stock, you have to take a good look. Those who come to browse their positions and family backgrounds are probably not good matches.

Shen Rui had to whisper: "Mr. Chamao first became the examiner of the Shuntian Prefecture provincial examination, and was also the examiner of the current subject. When he turned around, some students would go to attend the teacher. I will talk to him and ask him to pay attention to it. No matter how Brother Six thinks, it’s always okay to prepare more.”

There are about 300 Jinshi and Jinshi in this subject, and you can always find a few unmarried ones.

Chen Lin was very grateful and even thanked him for his second uncle.

I don’t expect that I didn’t withdraw from the marriage this time. After the palace examination, the marriage could no longer be withdrawn.

On March 22, the Golden Palace was passed down, and Zhang Jiao was actually defeated by Tanhualang.

Yang Tinghe and Shen Ruidao are indeed talented and worthy of this ranking, but they also think that they have invested a lot of money on Liu Jin.

Because Zhang Cai actually spoke for him, he took the initiative to mention Xie Qian and Chen Li, the top scholar's son-in-law, said that he didn't know what good stories could be made by Zhang Liang.

The emperor smiled and pointed a little Tanhua, saying that Zhang Liang is also a handsome talent, but for Tanhua, the father-in-law, son-in-law, and the father-in-law, the father-in-law, the father-in-law, the father-in-law, the father-in-law, the father-in-law, the father-in-law, the armor is also a good story.

This "expressive talent" is exactly the same as saying that the previous subject, Dai Dabin, "a beautiful appearance". The emperor's criteria for choosing Tanhualang make people... have nothing to say.

The words "father-in-law, son-in-law, and son-in-law" were said from the emperor, which confirmed the father-in-law.

The Shen family can no longer withdraw from the marriage.

Shen Rui could only sigh. After returning home, he quietly took out Chen Li's reply and threw all the paper with the words "retreat" into the brazier and burned it.
