Starting from a thatched cottage, the farmer embarked on the road to wealth through imperial examina

Liang Jingcheng saw that everyone was looking at him, and even Fubao, who was always lively and playful, stopped making any sound behind the screen. It seemed that everyone was very concerned about his and Ye Changyan's preparations for the exam.

Liang Jingcheng put down the chopsticks in his hand, looked around, and then answered in the direction of Xiao Yankai with a respectful attitude.

"I heard that there are quite a few students from the Imperial College and Imperial University who will be taking the Autumn Examination this year. As far as I know, many of them have experience in the Autumn Examination. I believe the competition pressure will be quite high this year. This is the first time for Chang Yan and I to take the examination. We mainly want to feel the atmosphere of the Autumn Examination."

"Jingcheng is such a modest kid. There are no outsiders here. I heard that Mr. Jinshi from the Imperial College is very accurate in his predictions. Anyone who is recommended by Mr. Jinshi to be eliminated is on the list!"

Except for Dalang, Erlang and Li Rongxu, everyone else present had heard of Mr. Jinshi. What Xiao Yankai said was not an exaggeration, as Mr. Jinshi's level was well-known in the Imperial College.

"There are so many students in the world, and the Imperial College is limited in scale. Moreover, the scholars from Jiangzuo and Jiangyou occupy an important position. We brothers and sisters naturally hope to be on the list, but Mr. Jinshi also said that arrogant soldiers will be defeated. We really dare not underestimate the students in the world."

Hearing Ye Changyan say this, Zhu Yuchun nodded.

"Sanlang, you and Jingcheng have a very good mentality. Before participating in the Autumn Examination, my brother's mentality was not as calm as yours. Master saw that I was very nervous and was very worried about me. Later, it was Master's wife who took me out to run horses for two days. At that time, my impetuous mood slowly calmed down."

Xiao Yankai and his son had never taken part in the imperial examination. They both came from military backgrounds and thought that the imperial examination was like going to the battlefield. They had to be fully prepared and keep their nerves tense at all times, because if they were not careful, the enemy's sword and arrow might pierce their armor and take their life.

After hearing what Zhu Yuchun said, I realized that taking the imperial examination was not the same as going to the battlefield. The ease and naturalness in the conversation between Ye Changyan and Liang Jingcheng just now sounded much better than Zhu Yuchun's at the time.

"Big Brother is right. This imperial examination is a test of one's mentality. When I took part in the autumn examination, a student sitting in the examination room next to me was so nervous that he couldn't even hold his pen. After the exam was over, I saw him crying as he walked out of the examination room because he had left most of his answer sheet blank."

Zhao Mubai recalled the scene when he participated in the Autumn Examination, and he still sighs to this day.

Although Dalang, Erlang and Li Rongxu did not take the imperial examination, they had studied for several years. In their eyes, those who could reach the autumn examination hall were already very impressive. But they did not expect that among these people, there were such timid people who could not even hold a pen after entering the examination room. How timid must they be?

"Two junior brothers, please relax. How old are you? Among the brothers in our senior school, the youngest one who passed the imperial examination was the most relaxed. When he passed the imperial examination, he was exactly the same age as Jingcheng is now, and Changyan is one year younger than Jingcheng. When you passed the imperial examination, your sister-in-law was already more than nine months pregnant, but she insisted on going with you to see the list. Your sister-in-law was sharp-eyed and saw my name from afar, but she got excited and Furong refused to do it. I heard your sister-in-law shouting that her stomach hurt, and I became a father that night."

Ji Yunting's words caused everyone present to laugh. When Mrs. He, who was behind the screen, heard her husband talking about this past event, her face turned shy like a little girl. Ji Furong, who was sitting next to them, heard about the interesting events of her birth day for the first time. She asked Mrs. He curiously, which made her blush even more.

"However, you two are able to be taught by Mr. Jinshi himself, and Mr. Jinshi also suggested that you two take part in the competition. I am naturally very optimistic about your performance. Come on, come on, I will toast you two and wish you both success in the exam!"

After everyone laughed for a while, Ji Yunting smiled and raised his glass to toast Ye Changyan and Liang Jingcheng. Others also raised their glasses to wish them success in the college entrance examination.

Although Li Ping did not have to take the imperial examination, he had thought about what kind of fame he could have earned if he had been born in an ordinary family and taken the imperial examination.

He did not dare to hope that he could become the top scholar in the imperial examination. He felt that if he could pass the imperial examination, he would not want to go to the Hanlin Academy, which was full of old scholars. Instead, he hoped to be a county magistrate, where he would make decisions for the local people and support them. He hoped that under his governance, the weather would be clear and the people would live in peace.

Li Ping was envious of the harmonious atmosphere among Ye Changyan's fellow apprentices. When he was studying in the clan school before, he mostly kept to himself and had no close friends at all. Perhaps this was the helplessness of being born in an imperial family.

The next day, Ye Changyan and Liang Jingcheng were invited to the Prince of England's Palace. They originally thought that the Prince of England's Palace would be very lively with the banquet during the New Year, but there were not many people in the Prince of England's Palace.

In addition to several members of the royal family, there were also several nephews and nieces from the princess's family, as well as several close friends of the Prince of England and the Prince of Rui'an. Apart from them, there were only Ye Changyan and Liang Jingcheng, which made both of them a little puzzled.

The two brothers were not very familiar with the Crown Prince of England and the Prince of Rui'an. Although they were somewhat on good terms with the King of England and the Princess, the guests present today were much closer to them than they were. However, it was Wan Rong who personally went to the palace to invite them before the New Year, so it was unlikely that they had invited the wrong person.

Just when both of them were still somewhat confused, the King of England actually introduced Ye Changyan and Liang Jingcheng to everyone in front of these close guests. Although some of the people present knew Ye Changyan and Liang Jingcheng at the Double Ninth Festival Chrysanthemum Viewing Banquet, everyone was still somewhat confused by the fact that the King of England personally introduced the two to everyone today.

Next, Ye Changyan and Liang Jingcheng were arranged to sit at the same table with the King of England, which made everyone even more confused. Some people even associated it with Ye Changyan and Liang Jingcheng's masters.

The husband of these two people, Cai Zhengqing, disappeared from the public eye after being specially promoted to the position of Prince Grand Tutor last year. The King of England treated these two people with such courtesy today. Could it be related to the fact that Cai Zhengqing became the Prince Grand Tutor?

Could it be that His Majesty the King of England knows the real reason behind Cai Zhengqing's promotion to the position of Prince Grand Tutor?
