With three days left until the palace examination, the Jiang family candidates tried on their uniforms for the last time.

In the past few days, Jiang Xiaoqi has gradually relaxed his requirements for the group, so everyone is in high spirits and not at all listless due to lack of sleep.

"Grandfather, you look so smart in that outfit!"

"Hahaha, really? Oh dear, I'm getting old. If I were a few decades younger, I would definitely be more energetic!"

Jiang Lian'er really wanted to praise her father and three brothers-in-law, but as the younger sister-in-law, it wasn't appropriate to praise her brothers-in-law. She decided to praise her grandfather instead, since praising her own grandfather was always fine.

Landlord Jiang was indeed flattered by his granddaughter's praise and now longed to buy a large bronze mirror so he could see for himself what he looked like in his scholar's robes.

Alas, it's a pity the old woman can't see him in such a majestic state. Should we ask the security escort agency to bring my husband and our fifth and sixth daughters over?

If they pass the imperial examination and become Jinshi, the whole family can reunite and celebrate together.

We shouldn't have agreed to let them stay in Xinghe Prefecture in the first place. Xinghe Prefecture doesn't have any industries. The harvest is managed by a steward, and all the shops are rented out. What is there to look after?

Hmm, I'll discuss it with my grandson later and find a reliable security escort agency.

Jiang Wenqing changed into his tribute student robes, turned around and around, looked at his fourth daughter, and then at his other children.

I waited for ages, but didn't receive a single compliment.

In the end, it was Jiang Xiaoqi, the observant son, who noticed that something was wrong with his father and went up to him to sincerely praise him.

Sensing that the previous melancholy had disappeared, Jiang Xiaoqi immediately stopped praising and shut down her output.

Sigh, it's so tiring. Being a son feels more tiring than being a father.

Jiang Xiwen helped Dong Jin straighten his clothes, secretly praising her husband in her heart. However, with so many people present, she decided not to say it aloud, as it would be too embarrassing.

Jiang Xiyue did praise Li Haisheng a few times, but Li Haisheng's skin tone was still a bit dark, which didn't match his symbiotic suit, so the praise seemed somewhat insincere.

Xue Xu had the advantage of fair skin, and now, with Jiang Xiaoqi's help, she looked sickly. Among the five, Xue Xu stood out the most in this outfit.

"Alright, now that you've tried them on, take them off if they fit, so you don't get them dirty before the imperial examination."

"Take it off if it doesn't fit. The embroiderer can still alter it quickly; there's no time to make a mistake during the palace examination in three days."

“That’s right, Grandfather is absolutely right. Disrespecting the emperor in front of the palace is a serious matter. It would be such a shame if we were disqualified from the exam because of our clothes!”

Dong Jin knew how difficult it had been to get to this point; he wasn't like his second or third sister's husbands, who were born with a knack for studying.

He knew his own limitations; he was just a bookworm, and his achievement of becoming a Xiucai (a successful candidate in the lowest level of the imperial examinations) was partly due to luck.

Being able to take the provincial examination and the metropolitan examination right after the provincial examination was something he never dared to dream of before. He, Dong Jin, was actually able to participate in the imperial palace examination one day!

This isn't just smoke rising from an ancestral grave; it's like a huge fire is erupting from it, with smoke as thick as a bucket!

All of this is because I married a good wife, which enabled me to pass the imperial examination in my early twenties!

He was incredibly grateful to his parents for finding him such a wonderful wife. They were right; marrying Xiwen was a reward he had earned through good deeds and fasting in his past life!

His wife saved his parents' lives, and his brother-in-law gave him a second chance at life. He should treat his wife, brother-in-law, and in-laws even better in the future!

Li Haisheng felt a little uncomfortable wearing the clothes of a tribute student. The clothes were too bright and the patterns were too complicated. Fortunately, he only needed to wear them for one day during the palace trial.

Xue Xu had already changed out of her clothes; she had only tried them on for a short while.

He couldn't stand his fiancée's intense gaze anymore. Oh dear, it was so embarrassing. He had never realized that Miss Jiang was like this before.

However, he likes it, and it's only natural for his fiancée to see him; he just needs some time to get used to it.

After everyone changed back into their everyday clothes, Jiang Xiaoqi once again served up her "secret recipe chicken soup," something everyone was already used to.

Before and after the imperial examination, we had drunk chicken soup two or three times, plus a meal of strange-tasting dumplings. No one refused, because although the taste was a bit strange, it really worked.

It must have used a lot of rare and precious herbs. Li Haisheng knew about his junior brother's medical skills; his junior brother had cured his master's chronic illness.

This junior brother has surpassed his master in treating stubborn diseases.

Although it is said that a doctor cannot heal himself, the master himself admitted that he was not as good as his junior disciple in making medicine.

"Glug glug," the five of them drank the chicken soup down to the last drop.

From initially not caring about it to now treasuring it, it's because they have genuinely experienced a series of changes.

Physical functions, brain reaction speed, and memory have all undergone significant changes!

Dong Jin once again marveled at his good fortune; otherwise, with his innate intelligence, he would probably have been at the bottom of the class again.

He was quite surprised by his ranking in this imperial examination; he had actually ranked so much higher than his father-in-law, and he was secretly pleased.

He's finally not the worst one out of the group anymore, and he doesn't have to be at the bottom anymore!

Jiang Wenqing, the useless, bottom-of-the-barrel, ? ? ?

Xue Xu felt the most profound impact from the "specially made chicken soup." From being so weak that he vomited blood to being full of energy now, he was extremely grateful to his future brother-in-law.

However, he no longer has the idea of ​​having his brother-in-law become his sister's husband. One reason is that he is now the future son-in-law of the Jiang family, and it would be difficult to justify if his sister married into the Jiang family.

Another point is that as he had more and more contact with the Jiang family, he became clearer about Jiang Xiaoqi's position in the Jiang family.

His brother-in-law had more say in the Chiang family than his future father-in-law.

He had a feeling that Old Master Jiang wanted to skip over his future father-in-law and directly put his brother-in-law as the head of the family.

Perhaps on the day his brother-in-law passed the imperial examination, or perhaps even earlier.

As for your younger sister, you should find another suitable husband...

Having come this far, I am now capable of protecting my younger sister, mother, aunts, and other female relatives.

Jiang Xiaoqi was naturally unaware that after being inexplicably included in the list of brothers-in-law, he was inexplicably removed from it as well.

All he knew was that he was getting closer and closer to becoming a second-generation or third-generation official!

And! We're getting closer and closer to securing the five Palace Examination points reward!
