Rise From the Humble

Chapter 354: small biography



  Chapter 354 Biography

  In the early morning, the red sun slowly rises, slowly revealing the horizon, just like a bride wearing a red hijab at night in a bridal chamber, slowly lifts her hijab, revealing a blushing pretty face, shyly looking down at the earth.

   "Damn the sun, what do you do when you get up so early, the young master has to get up early!"

In the courtyard of Zhu Ping'an's guest room in the Marquis of Linhuai, the bear boy looked at the eastern sky with bitterness and hatred, and stretched out his chubby hand to draw it in the air. Take it as a pancake and pull it down!

  Zhu Ping'an couldn't help but smile when he looked at the brat holding the book who was suffering and hating him deeply.

  Since the palace exam was over, Marquis Linhuai urged him to send the bear boy to him early.

  Zhu Ping'an likes to get up early to practice calligraphy. Although he is fully able to practice calligraphy with a pen, ink, paper and inkstone now, he is used to dipping a brush in water to practice calligraphy on a wooden board, so he practiced calligraphy early in the morning according to the old habit.

While Zhu Pingan practiced calligraphy, he also fulfilled his duties as a teacher, urging the poor boy to read in the morning, even if the bear child had a thousand reasons, all of them failed in Zhu Pingan's case, and he had to hold the book. read.

  In the yard besides the bear, there is also a little loli, the little loli who claims to be Niuer. This little loli also likes to run to Zhu Ping'an these days, because Zhu Ping'an will tell stories every time when she is tired from reading and practicing calligraphy. Whether it's a fairy tale or the story of the little monkey that jumped out of the rock, little Lori couldn't move her feet. So every time the little Lolita used the excuse of accompanying Brother Rui to study, and refused to leave.

Of course, the same is true for a certain bear child. Although he is not happy with Zhu Pingan, whenever Zhu Pingan tells stories, the bear child always looks like "my brother-in-law abused me thousands of times, and I treat my brother-in-law like first love", With a fat face horizontally, he listened with gusto.

  After practicing calligraphy in the morning, the servants of the Marquis of Linhuai also brought breakfast for the three of them. Lean meat porridge, hors d'oeuvres, three hot dishes each with meat and vegetables, and some steamed buns and eggs.

  It looks very appetizing.

  Because Zhu Pingan supervised his studies, the bear child was very upset. When he was eating breakfast, his fat face was full of provocations. No matter what Zhu Pingan said, he would answer.

Looking at the provocative fat face of the bear boy, Zhu Ping'an couldn't help but smiled, and then mysteriously picked up an egg from the table, held it in his hand, looked at the sun, and then touched it left and right with his fingers, He put it under his nose and sniffed, and finally pinched his fingers to make the final calculation, and said solemnly:

   "This is the egg laid by the hen."

  The bear kid heard the words, his face was full of doubts, and he immediately retorted provocatively with a fat face, "How do you know? I don't believe it!"

  Little Lolita, who was sipping porridge by the table, couldn't help but roll her eyes when she heard what the bear said, "Brother Rui, idiot, it must be the egg laid by the hen, because the rooster doesn't lay eggs!"

  Damn it, I got fooled again!

  The porridge in the bear's mouth choked instantly, and his face turned black.

  Zhu Ping'an had just finished his breakfast, and before he had time to clear the table, he heard the sound of chickens and dogs jumping outside the yard, and the sound of footsteps came quickly.

   "Young Master Zhu, Young Master Zhu, hurry up, hurry up, an imperial edict has arrived."

   Just when Zhu Ping'an raised his head, he saw a steward leading several servants trotting into the yard as if they were being chased by dogs, talking anxiously out of breath.

  Imperial decree?

  Are you kidding me, this is the second day, isn't it three days before the palace exam is released? In other words, there is no need for an imperial decree to be sent home to release the list, right?

  Although Zhu Ping'an felt weird, he still followed the steward and went out. In the feudal era, the word "imperial decree" was worth more than a thousand gold. If you disrespect anyone, you dare not be disrespectful to someone with the word "holy".

  When we reached the front hall, Zhu Ping'an didn't know what was going on, what imperial decree, but a little **** from the palace came to tell Zhu Ping'an to enter the palace to meet the emperor.

According to the little eunuch's biography and his explanation, the matter is probably like this, according to the usual practice, after the minister of examination papers has finished marking the papers, he will present the ten best papers in the palace examination papers to the imperial examination, and present them in front of the emperor , unsealed the ten test papers, and revealed the personal information of the examinees. The emperor ranked the ten test papers, and selected the champion, second place, Tanhua, and the top seven of the second best.

  In addition, the emperor will summon the owners of these ten test papers into the palace and meet them alone. This is what is known in history as the "Xiao Zhuan Lu".

  The rankings in the final palace examination, including champion, second place, top 7, etc., were all formally determined after the emperor summoned, and then the big and small gold lists were filled out, and the rankings were officially released three days after the palace examination. The release of the list in the palace examination is called "Da Chuan Lu" or "Chuan Lu Grand Ceremony".

  The emperor's summoning this time was "Xiao Chuan Lu", but the little **** said that the emperor personally read 20 test papers for the palace examination.

  Why does it feel like the modern civil service exam? The palace exam is a written exam, and the written exam score is in the top ten. No, this time it is in the top twenty. It means that you have passed the written exam and have the qualifications for an interview, that is, "Xiao Chuanlu". The emperor is the interviewer, and the position is finally determined after the interview. Three out of twenty will be selected, the first will be number one, the second will be second, and the third will be third.

Zhu Pingan followed the little eunuch, and rushed to Xiyuan in the carriage of Houfu. On the way, Zhu Pingan gave the little **** a red envelope without any trace. There are a lot of precautions for face saints, which are very detailed.

   Entering Xiyuan, Zhu Pingan was led by the little **** to praise the Marquis in a palace in Xiyuan. About an hour later, another little **** came in and looked at Zhu Pingan and said:

   "Zhu Ping'an, Mr. Zhu, right, the Holy Majesty announces your audience."

   "My father-in-law is here." Zhu Pingan cupped his hands to thank the visitor.

   "Your Majesty Zhu, you are welcome. This way please." The little **** smiled and stretched out his hand to lead the way.

  Zhu Ping'an followed the little eunuch, step by step towards the palace where Emperor Jiajing lived, and rushed to the appointment of Emperor Jiajing. By the way, this is meeting Jiajing alone, and I am still a little excited, and of course nervousness is inevitable.

Zhu Pingan followed the little **** for about ten minutes, and came to a magnificent palace. The palace was covered with golden glazed tiles, brackets and cornices. The stone carvings are also exquisite and gorgeous. The main colors of the entire palace are golden and red. There are two rows of stone steps outside the palace that can lead directly to the inside of the palace. In the middle of the two rows of stone steps, there is a jade carving that looks like a whole piece. It is very huge and stretches for several meters. A dragon rolling among the clouds. Under the sunshine in the morning, the sculpture of Shenlong seems to come alive, shaking its head and tail, with a magnificent style.

  The royal demeanor made Zhu Pingan click his tongue.

   "Master Zhu, please wait a moment, I will report." The little **** led Zhu Pingan to the door and said.

   "It's time to work." Zhu Ping'an slightly arched his hands.
