Flowers in full bloom

"Stop flattering me." Gui Jijiu glared at Hualei, "I knew you were a bad girl, you said nice things but took away the meat."

He looked around and lowered his voice again and spoke.

"This August, the Imperial College will hold a civil examination to recruit two classes of 100 students. I heard that you have a younger brother. How are his grades? Do you want to come to the Imperial College to try?

Registration starts in early August, with a limit of 1,000 applicants. Registration will be closed once the quota is filled, and will be on a first-come, first-served basis. Examinations will be held in mid-August, and the first 100 applicants will be admitted based on their best scores.

But the news hasn't come out yet. If you want to take the exam, please pay attention to the news and don't miss it."

The flower bud was stunned for a moment, then filled with ecstasy. This was truly the best news she had gotten today when she came out to appreciate the lotus.

"Really? Master Jijiu, can our Xiaoyuan also take the exam? Are there any registration requirements?"

"As long as your family is clean within three generations and has not committed any illegal acts, you will be fine. Bring your household registration information to register. After you register, the government will review the information you submitted. You can only take the exam if there is no problem.

You can bring your younger brothers to sign up first. This is a rare opportunity, but the registration fee of ten taels of silver is non-refundable.

In previous years, as soon as the news was released, the registration office of the Imperial College was crowded, so this year's news will be released later, you just need to be prepared, don't be unable to find the household registration information, and don't be missing this or that."

Gui Jijiu took a sip of tea and continued in a low voice, "If you can pass the Imperial College, you can take the imperial examination in the capital in the name of a student of the Imperial College, and you don't need to go back to your hometown to take the exam."

"Thank you, Master Chief Priest, this is really great. Thank you, Master Chief Priest, thank you, Master Chief Priest." Hua Leixi thanked him repeatedly.

"What are you thanking me for? Registration is just the first step. The most important thing is to be able to pass the exam. First, see if you have the ability. Strength is the most important thing. Even though it is just the entrance exam for Class D, it is very difficult.

If you have the registration qualification but fail to pass the exam, you will just waste ten taels of silver. Moreover, the invigilation system of this exam is very strict.

There are a lot of invigilators, so don't even think about bringing any cheat sheets in. Once you are discovered, you will not be accepted by the Imperial College, and even other official schools will not want you. " Gui Jijiu warned.

"Master Jijiu, rest assured. If Xiaoyuan dares to bring in cheat sheets, I will break his legs and he will never be able to take the imperial examination again in his lifetime."

Hua Lei said confidently. Hua Lei still had confidence in his younger brother. Even if he really failed the exam, he would not bring cheat sheets.

Gui Jijiu lowered his head to drink tea and stopped talking. Hualei turned around and looked around, leaned over, and asked in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "Gui Jijiu, do you have any review materials for the exam? Or where can I buy these review materials?"

Gui Jijiu glared and said, "Don't try to do anything crooked. You forgot what I said just now so quickly." "No, Gui Jijiu, how dare I forget what you said. I just wanted to ask, the Imperial College should have had such exams in previous years, then were there any floating papers in these exams?" Hua Lei showed a flattering smile.

"If there are any, I will buy some and let my younger brother read them and practice more in the next two months. He will get familiar with the types of questions and key points in the exam, right? This doesn't mean he has to bring cheat sheets, don't worry. On the day of the exam, I will only let one person in, and he will never bring in an extra piece of paper." Hualei kept a flattering smile on her rosy face and did not give up.

"No." Gui Jijiu didn't want to look at Hualei's face, and turned around, no longer paying attention to Hualei. This little girl's mind was quick. When he mentioned the entrance examination, she immediately thought of all the problems she would encounter in the examination, and wanted to use the floating single roll again. She had won so many contracts with the floating single roll before, so it was possible that she would have such good luck every time.

It was already against the rules for him to reveal this news, but this girl was even more demanding. Gui Jijiu regretted that he had said too much.

"Gui Jijiu..." Hua Lei touched her face, feeling a little embarrassed.

"Miss Hua, I have a set of examination papers from three years ago. They were used by the younger brother of my classmate. Do you want them? I also have two sets of examination papers for children of officials. I think they can be used as references. If you need them, I will give them to you."

Gui Jingan, who was counting his children, interrupted. His ears were red.

"Really? Yes, yes, yes, thank you, Mr. Gui, thank you, Mr. Gui." Hualei smiled. "Mr. Gui, name a price and I'll buy it from you. It's not for nothing."

"Count your seeds carefully. You've been counting for such a long time, but you still haven't counted them all. What a shame!" Gui Jijiu glared at his grandson, then turned around and glared at Hua Lei. "Go to the printing house in a few days. If there are seeds, there are seeds. If not, there are none."

"Thank you, Master Jijiu, thank you, Master Jijiu." After hearing what Gui Jijiu said, she knew that the information should be stable.

"Black loses two pieces, and White wins." Gui Jingan announced the result.

"Old people are always wise. You are worthy of being the Lord Chief Priest. You are really awesome." Hua Lei flattered him.

"Shut up, bad girl, you just keep pushing things." Gui Jijiu scolded with a smile, and put the pieces on the chessboard into the chess basket one by one. Hualei helped to separate the black and white pieces and pushed them to Gui Jijiu.

"Hello, you're going back. Do you still want me to keep you for lunch?" Gui Jijiu glared at his grandson while chasing people away. Gui Jing'an was unconsciously stroking Heizi over and over again.

"Yes, yes, let's go now, let's go now." Hua Lei smiled and put the chess piece in her hand into the chess basket.

"You old man, even if you are the one who crosses the river and destroys the bridge, you can't do it so quickly. Miss Hua, don't play chess with this stinky old man in the future. Just make him itchy and see what he will do." The wife of the chief priest smiled and defended her.

Hualei smiled at the wife of the chief priest without caring, put her hands on her waist, and bowed solemnly to Gui the chief priest, "Thank you, Mr. Chief Priest."

Then he knelt down and saluted solemnly towards Gui Jingan, "Thank you, Master Gui."

Gui Jijiu waved his hand impatiently, "Let's go, let's go. Don't talk too much when you get out."

"Hua Lei understands." Hua Lei said goodbye to the wife of the chief priest and the other two ladies one by one, then turned and walked out of the pavilion, walking briskly towards the Yingfeng Courtyard rented by the Marquis' Mansion.

Inside the pavilion, Gui Jijiu sighed helplessly as he looked at his eldest grandson who looked reluctant to leave. This silly roe deer was still staring in a daze at Hua Lei's receding back.

He looked at his wife and two daughters-in-law behind him, and told them to pack up and return to the "Yinghuayuan" where he rented.
