No, I was just a concubine, how did I become the queen?

Wu Yunzhu's funeral was still being handled, but the Fourth Master was slowly letting the matter go.

I used to do everything myself, but now I feel that doing it for others is almost the same.

Because Lin Mingyan told him, if you are exhausted, then you will have to leave these things to others, right?

This sentence persuaded him immediately!

Of course, she only dared to say this to him in bed, otherwise it would be considered treason.

In short, during the period when the Fourth Master was recuperating, he not only pushed most of the things to the ministers.

Honghui and his other sons, don’t even think about slacking off.

What he meant was, after studying for so many years, he should be able to do things, right?

Besides, I am going to get married and have children soon, and I can’t study with my children at that time.

Therefore, except for Hongshi who had already arrived in Konbaung, none of the other seven sons could be left behind.

Even Hongyan was given an assignment. He went to the Ministry of Revenue to be responsible for counting the granaries.

When Wu came to tell Lin Mingyan about this, her eyes almost disappeared with laughter: "Oh, this job is just right for Hongyu."

"He has loved counting things since he was little. He would be unhappy if he wasn't allowed to finish counting."

"Now it's all good. I go there every day and count. I have endless energy!"

This child is the only thing that matters to her in her life, so she is happy to see Hongyan doing well.

Lin Mingyan had no objection to her and Hongyu. Of course, she was happy to see that the two of them could live comfortably.

Wu continued to ramble, "What a pity! I thought Hongyan could get married this year, but now it's not possible."

When Hongshi got married and left at the beginning of the year, her eyes turned red with envy.

If Honghui and Hongyun had not been standing in front, she would have run up to the Emperor and said that Honghui was her brother.

Later I heard that the Emperor valued the first three princes and wanted to prepare the wedding well and choose auspicious days, so he didn't make trouble.

Lin Mingyan advised, "Your Majesty is very distressed. Let your brothers observe mourning for their sister for a few months so that he can feel better."

"It's fine if you say this to me, but don't say it in front of His Majesty."

She had known this a long time ago, but for some reason, Wu had never developed any worldly ideas.

In her opinion, if someone is nice to you, she will trust him blindly, tell him everything and do everything for him.

Even if Lin Mingyan asked her to help kill someone, she would do it directly without even asking the reason.

They don’t care whether the other person is a good person or a bad person, or whether he or she has done anything harmful to others.

If someone is not nice to you and I don't like him at first sight, it's like poison to you.

So she had no feelings for Geng and Wu Yunzhu. It was just that they died at the wrong time and delayed Hongyu's marriage.

Lin Mingyan had no choice but to let her do this. At her age, it was difficult to change her values.

I can only remind her to try to act normal outside.

"I know, I know. I wouldn't be so stupid with others," Wu nodded like a chick pecking at rice.

She also knows what is right and wrong, and dares not act rashly in the face of power.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have tried so hard to disguise herself when she entered the Fourth Master's residence.

Although she poisoned, she did it secretly and didn't dare to run in front of others and say, "This is the poison I poisoned!"

But when it comes to those who are truly powerful, she doesn't even dare to raise her claws, and she doesn't even dare to say a word.

"Don't worry, it won't delay Hongyu. There will be plenty of wedding banquets for you next spring," Lin Mingyan reminded him, "Now that you have a job, it's a good idea to establish your career first and then start a family."

Wu nodded: "That's right!"

"Besides, our Li Niang is really capable and has learned a lot."

"I heard there's going to be a women's encore this fall, and she wants to try it out."

Lin Mingyan then understood that this was her purpose in chattering to her for so long today.

Because after Wu Yunzhu left, the Fourth Master realized how unreasonable it was for a woman to be trapped in the back house.

In addition, as more and more girls went to school outside, he thought of opening a special examination to try.

If there were women with outstanding academic ability, they would have a better future.

Of course, Lin Mingyan supported it wholeheartedly. Even if the Fourth Master didn't mention it, she would find a way to bring it up when the time was right.

Now she doesn't have to worry about it.

"She's a student at the Imperial College. With the teacher's recommendation, she can directly participate in the Autumn Examination," Lin Mingyan said with a smile. "If she has confidence, it would be good to give it a try."

Because it was the first special examination for women, it was not promoted nationwide, and it did not start with scholars.

Instead, the recommendation method of the Beijing Women's University and the Imperial College was adopted, and the recommended women could directly participate in the autumn examination for Juren.

After passing the exam, you can take part in the spring examination.

These exams are not divided by gender, and everyone starts from the same starting line.

After so many years, the candidates have long been accustomed to female students.

Lin Mingyan had been secretly spreading rumors about the women's imperial examination for several years.

Every time the autumn examination is held, rumors will spread like wildfire.

This time everyone was a little skeptical. When the news first came out, some people were laughing.

Wu also thought it was a rumor, but now after hearing Lin Mingyan say this, her heart finally settled down.

He smiled so hard that his teeth were visible and his eyes were invisible: "Oh, that's great. I'll go back and stew some more bird's nest for Li Niang to nourish her."

"With her brain, she'll definitely get a score of 2546."

"By then, we'll have two officials in our family!"

Her father, Wu Guozhu, was just a small county magistrate, and she naturally had a filter for Beijing officials.

When she thought about her son and daughter-in-law becoming officials in Beijing, she couldn't wait to show off to all her relatives and friends.

"You, you," Lin Mingyan shook her head, thinking that this man was really a fool.

It was obvious that her son was a prince, which was the most ostentatious thing.

I didn't expect that he would be so excited about becoming an official.

But she still promised: "Don't worry, if Li Niang passes the exam, she will definitely get a good position!"

It’s not that she wants to use a backdoor or something, but this is the first women’s special examination, there are plenty of positions, and she won’t be at a disadvantage.

However, no one took the exam on her side. After all, Zhang Shiyue would become the Crown Princess in the future and she had her mission.

Lin Yu'er was more interested in art, especially poetry, calligraphy and painting, and could not study the Four Books and Five Classics in depth.

Of course, Lin Mingyan would not force the children to do whatever they like. That is freedom.

After hearing her words, Wu was as happy as if she had eaten honey, and she kept saying nice things.

The two talked for a while, and when Lin Mingyan felt a little tired, she tactfully took her leave.

Even Rendong couldn't help but say, "I didn't expect that among the elders in the mansion, it was Wu Wu who could finally talk to you, my master."
