After the separation, the family had a lot of fish and meat every day, and the best was furious

Old Madam Qu held Lin Ting's hand. She believed that Lin Lin was able to get pregnant because Lin Ting had done some conditioning for her.

"Today is a great day for the Qu family. Lin Ting, you should not go back today. Stay and have dinner with us tonight."

Lin Ting also wanted to stay and look after Lin Lin. Although Lin Lin's delivery went smoothly, she was still worried.

"it is good!"

In the room, Qu Yuanxun wiped the sweat from Lin Lin's forehead with a handkerchief. Seeing that Lin Lin gave birth so quickly, the fear in his heart was reduced a little.

"Husband, the child doesn't have a name yet. Now, can you give him a name?"

During Lin Lin's pregnancy, although he knew that the baby in her belly was a boy, Qu Yuanxun was always resistant when the topic of naming the child was brought up.

He was afraid of accidents and losing everything, so he never gave the child a name.

"Madam, you gave birth to this child with great difficulty. You can choose his name."

Lin Lin has always wanted Qu Yuanxun to name the child, and she has never considered it herself.

"Our son, I hope he can grow up healthy and happy, otherwise, how about calling him Kang Le?"

"Qu Kangle, this name has a good meaning. From now on, our son will be named Qu Kangle."

During Lin Lin's confinement period, Lin Ting came to Qu's house every day to take care of her, take her pulse in real time, pay attention to balanced nutrition, and keep her body in good condition.

In addition, the business expansion to the north this month has also made good progress and has resumed normal operations there.

Housekeeper Zhou moved Lin Ting to his farm in the capital and arranged for people to grow peppers and corn.

This year, half of the people in Dongxia Kingdom can grow corn. Although the quantity is not large, it can increase food income.

In April, there were two major events. One was that Mr. Jiang was sent as an envoy to Xi Luo, and the other was the release of the imperial edict for the palace examination.

Inside the carriage, Shen Qingzhou rubbed his fingers. An incense stick of time had passed since the notice was posted, but he had no intention of getting off the carriage to take a look.

"Qingzhou, if you don't dare to go and see, can I help you take a look?"

He was not nervous about the palace examination, but when the results came out, Shen Qingzhou became nervous.

"My lady, please wait a little longer. Let's go and see again later. It's too crowded now."

Seeing his nervousness, Lin Ting patted his hands, stood up with a smile on his face.

Bai Lu and I got off the car, walked through the crowd, and headed towards the list.

The list above is divided into A, B and C, and Shen Qingzhou's name is at the top of list A, making him the top scorer in this imperial examination.

"Madam, did you see that? That's the master!"

Bai Lu pointed at Shen Qingzhou's name, and Lin Ting saw it at first sight. Being able to get this ranking was considered to have met his expectations.

Lin Ting smiled faintly. In the eyes of outsiders, she seemed calm and few people could understand her true joys, sorrows, anger and happiness.

"Bai Lu, let's go back."

Lin Ting strode quickly back to the carriage, the expression on her face no different from when she left.

She didn't say anything, waiting for Shen Qingzhou to ask her.

Shen Qingzhou moved his body a few times, and finally couldn't help but speak.

"Madam, is my name on the imperial edict?"

Lin Ting nodded: "Yes!"

Lin Ting didn't finish what he was saying, which made Shen Qingzhou even more nervous and anxious. After waiting for a long time, Lin Ting didn't say anything to continue.

He felt like he was sitting on pins and needles, his eyes looking as if he wanted to say something but stopped.

"Madam, I...what place am I in?"

Lin Ting said calmly: "A-list, number one."

Hearing this answer, Shen Qingzhou was stunned for a moment, because he knew that Lin Ting would never lie to him about such things. Then he turned around and got off the carriage. He wanted to go and see for himself.

When Shen Qingzhou saw that he really won the top prize, he forgot to smile. Only he knew how difficult the journey was.

He turned back to the carriage, and the first thing he did was to hug Lin Ting in his arms, his eyes moist.

"My lady, I won, I won..."

As the top scorer in the imperial examination, Shen Qingzhou did not dare to slack off for a moment and thus achieved his current ranking.

"I know, you got it..."

When the two returned to the Shen Mansion, the imperial edict arrived soon after.

Seeing the royal decree to retire, the scene was so grand that people on the street gathered to watch. Everyone knew that this was the decree for this year's top scholar.

It was such a grand occasion that the common people followed behind to share in the joy of the top scholar.

"The imperial edict has arrived... Shen Qingzhou, the top scholar, receives the edict..."

Lin Ting had just instructed housekeeper Zhou to buy fireworks and firecrackers. This time, Shen Qingzhou passed the imperial examination and became the top scorer, so she wanted to provide porridge to all the people in Hua Yan's place for three days.

The area where porridge was distributed could be said to cover half of the Dongxia Kingdom.

The chief eunuch read the imperial edict, which contained beautiful and gorgeous words, many of which praised Shen Qingzhou's talent, and then he said at the end.

"Your Majesty has decreed that Shen Zhuangyuan be appointed as a sixth-rank editor in the Hanlin Academy. He will take up the position in mid-May. By imperial decree."

After the chief eunuch finished reading, he folded the imperial edict, took two steps forward, and spoke in his unique voice.

"Shen Zhuangyuan, please accept the order!"

Shen Qingzhou stretched out his hands and took the imperial edict from the eunuch.

"I and my wife thank Your Majesty for your grace!"

In addition to the imperial edict, there was also the top scholar uniform bestowed by the emperor, allowing Shen Qingzhou to take office in mid-May, which was to give him time to return home.

After ten years of hard study, one's name is on the list of successful candidates. If one does not return home in glory, it is like walking in the night in brocade clothes.

After the person who announced the decree returned, the Shen Mansion was crowded with people, including those from the court who came to congratulate him, and people from Lin Ting's business also came.

Lord Yu and Cui Taihe, the head of the Hanlin Academy, also came.

"Shen Qingzhou, congratulations, from now on you and I will be colleagues, hahahaha..."

Cui Taihe was optimistic about Shen Qingzhou when they first met. The two had surprisingly similar views on things, and it felt like they were friends regardless of age, having met too late.

"Master Cui, please take good care of me from now on."

Cui Taihe stroked his beard and laughed, then stood in front of Shen Qingzhou and patted his shoulder.

"Our Hanlin Academy is peaceful and harmonious. You have come to the right place."

Although Cui Taihe said this, he knew Shen Qingzhou's talents and that the Hanlin Academy could not keep him for too long.

Lin Ting also stepped forward to greet them: "Master Cui, Master Yu, please come in and sit down!"

Lin Ting was busy arranging the banquet. Qu Yuanxun did not come, but the gifts were delivered.

The Shen Mansion was brightly lit tonight, and fireworks were set off for a full hour.

A dish from the banquet was also sent to each official's house. This was a wedding dish, symbolizing the best fortune and luck.

The dinner lasted until late at night. Lin Ting was so busy that his back and waist ached, but he was happy for Shen Qingzhou in his heart.

After removing her makeup and getting ready, Lin Ting sat in front of the dressing table. Shen Qingzhou hugged her from behind and rested his head on her shoulder.

"Madam, thank you!"

Lin Ting looked at the two people in the mirror. It was rare for Shen Qingzhou to show such an expression of admiration in front of her.

"no need thank me?"

"If it weren't for you, there wouldn't be Shen Qingzhou today, so my lady, you are here to save me."

Shen Qingzhou held Lin Ting's hands tighter and tighter. He was probably drunk, so Lin Ting just let him hold him quietly.
