After becoming the villain's eldest sister, I take charge of the whole family

In a blink of an eye, it has been more than a month since I arrived in the capital.

All matters related to the wedding had been prepared, and Xie Linghe was free.

these days.

Li Lingze came to visit several times.

And, ask her out for fun from time to time.

Zhang Wei and Xie Boyuan both worked in the Hanlin Academy. With her saving people as a bond, the two quickly became familiar with each other and became friends.

From time to time, Zhang Wei would come to Xie Boyuan's house, and each time he would bring her gifts made by Xu Cuiniang: a handkerchief, a bowl of soup, a plate of exquisite snacks... Xie Linghe's relationship with him gradually became closer, from strangers to ordinary friends.

There was only one thing that bothered her.

Li Lingze and Zhang Wei disliked each other the first time they met. Zhang Wei was okay, but Li Lingze would say bad things about Zhang Wei every time they met afterwards. Xie Linghe's repeated corrections were useless and his words went in one ear and out the other.

……

June 26th.

The Nanzhili provincial examination, which was held twice every three years, began.

Worth to talk about.

The provincial examination was under the full responsibility of each prefecture. The imperial court stipulated that it should be held in June, but the specific date could be decided by the prefect. Therefore, the examination time in each provincial capital might be different.

Suzhou Prefecture was established on June 26th.

Back to the topic.

In the morning, Xie Linghe was woken up by the system: "Host, Xie Zhongji and Xie Jijun are queuing up to enter."

Xie Linghe twitched his eyebrows, opened his eyes, rubbed them, and replied, "I understand."

With Xie Boyuan's experience, she can be considered experienced.

However, she still paid the same attention to Xie Boyuan as she did to him. After all, these two people were making money for her.

Ok.

There is also a little reason to care about them.

Just a little bit really.

Farming and selling crops are both hard work and don't earn much money.

The only way to make a fortune is through the imperial examination.

As the saying goes, books contain golden houses and beautiful women.

Xie Boyuan/Xie Zhongji/Xie Shuze/Xie Jijun: So, if we take the imperial examination, you will get rich, right?

Xie Linghe: Why not?

Connect the secondary system.

It is still the familiar Imperial Examination Hall, still the familiar bustle, and still the four categories of candidates: old, middle-aged, young and children. Only the appearance is different.

This reminded Xie Linghe of a poem: The flowers are the same year after year, but the people are different year after year.

Isn't this exactly the scene?

I don’t know how many candidates got what they wanted last year.

"..."

As the two of them entered the Imperial Examination Hall, the examination began and the test questions were distributed. She glanced at them one by one and found that there were no particularly strange or difficult questions, so she breathed a sigh of relief.

Xie Linghe sighed to himself, "The second child will definitely pass, it just depends on his ranking. As for the third child, I hope he can continue his good luck from the last two times and pass just barely."

At this time, she didn't expect that her words would become a proverb.

Five days after the exam.

One night in early July, the system's voice suddenly appeared: "Congratulations to the host for achieving the college exam score x2. The reward is taels of silver."

Xie Linghe quickly put down the Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils in his hand and blinked, "Two hundred taels of silver? Target completed x2, that means the second and third children both passed the exam."

"Great!"

"That's great!"

After being happy, she felt a little unwilling: "But I didn't even get the first place in the dean, what a pity, if Ji Jun was here, it would be possible..."

talking.

She shook her head. "Stop, stop! Passing the college entrance examination is already impressive. You're a serious scholar with a good reputation."

Later, there was a saying: Xiucai is equivalent to a 985 or 211 master's degree, Juren is equivalent to a doctorate from Tsinghua or Peking University; Jinshi is equivalent to an academician.

In Daqi, if there is a scholar in the family, he can plan to become the chief bookkeeper or clerk of the county. If he is lucky enough to meet a promoted leader, his family will benefit from his success.

Two more days passed.

The college entrance examination results are out.

The day.

Brothers Xie Zhongji and Xie Shuze got up before dawn and went to the entrance of the Imperial Examination Hall to grab a seat. In the end, they actually got a front row seat.

As soon as the results are announced.

Everyone rushed forward.

Xie Shuze stretched his neck as far as he could and luckily saw Xie Zhongji's name at a glance. He shouted excitedly, "Got it! Second brother, you got it!"

Xie Zhongji asked hurriedly: "Where is it?"

Xie Shuze pointed it out to him, and Xie Zhongji quickly looked over, his face filled with ecstasy: "Hahaha, I passed, tenth place, great! I'm a student on government academy!!!"

Xie Shuze sincerely congratulated him: "Congratulations, second brother, for getting first place in the exam. You can receive tribute rice every month."

"Hahaha." Xie Zhongji laughed, then realized what was happening and asked, "By the way, Third Brother, how about you? Did you see your ranking?"

Xie Shuze's smile suddenly froze.

"Not yet~" His eyes wandered, and his voice was filled with tears: "Brother, I think my performance this time was average. I hope I didn't fail the exam."

"Calm down!"

Xie Zhongji was also worried, but he remained calm: "I haven't finished reading it yet."

Xie Shuze licked his lips: "Yes, yes, yes."

The two brothers nervously searched all the way down, and soon, only the last line was left to read.

Xie Shuze's eyes moistened: "It's over, it's over..."

Beijing.

Xie Linghe also became nervous.

No way!

Did this idiot Xie Shuze really fail the exam?

wrong.

I got the reward myself.

Xie Linghe reacted and didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Really, I was confused too."

"Why haven't I seen my name yet?" She murmured unconsciously, "It can't be that I'm the last one to pass the test again. They say there's no such thing as a third time. It should be..."

The words stopped abruptly.

Xie Shuze had closed his eyes in fear. Xie Zhongji looked at the last name, rubbed his eyes in disbelief, and when he looked closely, it was his third brother's name.

"Hahaha!"

"Third brother, open your eyes and take a look, you got it, you got it!"

Hear the words.

Xie Shuze suddenly opened his eyes and saw his name. He hugged his second brother and cheered: "Oh, that's great, I passed, I passed the exam and became a scholar!!!"

In this regard.

Xie Linghe was bewildered. "The third one is Sun Shan again? This is the third time, right?!"

"Once, twice, three times, how lucky do you have to be?"

"Could it be that the Third Brother is truly blessed by God as he claims?!"

She has some doubts about life.

There were people in the crowd who had the same idea as her.

Zhang Ning was a candidate from Chunde County. His level was average and he ranked last in both the county and prefectural examinations.

every time.

Everyone will pay attention to the last one.

The three words "Xie Shuze" left an extremely deep impression on him. He ranked last in both the county and prefectural examinations. If he had not believed in the fairness of the Daqi imperial examinations, he would have suspected that the examination questions had been leaked privately.

result.

As expected, he failed the college entrance examination.

The last one is still that familiar name.

"Ahhh!"

Zhang Ning couldn't help but scream, "Who is Xie Shuze?! Why are you last again?"

Everyone was shocked.

Someone asked, "What happened to Xie Shuze?"

"..."

Zhang Ning couldn't hear the voice in his head and roared to the sky: "County exam, prefectural exam, and imperial exam, you always came in last. God, are you his real father?!"

"what?!"

"Last place in all three games?"

"real or fake?"

"Shit! I think I have an impression of that too."

"..."

Xie Zhongji and Xie Shuze were among them. Seeing that everyone was envious and jealous of him, Xie Shuze wanted to say something proudly, but before he could finish his words, Xie Zhongji covered his mouth and quietly took him away.

In this regard.

Xie Linghe smiled and shook his head.

The connection was lost.
