Fu Erniang asked a matchmaker to go to the Cai Mansion to ask for her hand in marriage, but Cai Jing neither agreed nor refused. He delayed for a long time, leaving Li Sanjian and Cai Rongxue wondering what he meant.

Cai Jing also confined Cai Rongxue at home and did not allow her to go out on her own.

This day was the day when the results of Gengchenke were released, so Cai Rongxue ignored Cai Jing's prohibition and came to the south courtyard of Gongyuan of the Ministry of Rites with the help of Cai Jing's fifth son. The reason was that Cai Rongxue knew that her lover was not interested in this.

I am very concerned about the provincial examination.

In fact, Cai Rongxue cared more about it than Li Sanjian. The reason was that if Li Sanjian passed the imperial examination, Li Sanjian's worth would double. In this case, how could the Cai family have any objection? Maybe the two of them would get married naturally.

.

Cai Chi, who is only nine years old, has liked his sister since he was a child. He has been close to Cai Rongxue since he was a child. She is probably the only person in the Cai family besides Mrs. Cai who does not object to this marriage.

"Sister, my brother-in-law is so tall." Cai Ji held Cai Rongxue's hand and said.

"Fifth brother, don't talk nonsense. Where...where is he...your brother-in-law?" Cai Rongxue heard this and quickly squeezed Cai Ji's hand to stop him.

"Hehe, didn't his family already have someone come to propose marriage?" Cai Ji looked at Cai Rongxue and said with a smile.

Nine-year-old Cai Ji has a round head, a chubby face, a pair of big black eyes and a pair of small dimples on his mouth when he smiles. Not only is he cute and well-behaved, he is also extremely blessed. Cai Jing is deeply attracted by this.

of favor.

Cai Rongxue also likes this well-behaved and sensible fifth brother.

"My lord hasn't agreed yet, and...some people in the family are also opposed to it," Cai Rongxue said with a trace of sadness in her eyes.

"Sister, don't be sad." Upon seeing this, Cai Wei said angrily: "They are all bullying my sister. Hum, I have a way, and dad will definitely agree to this marriage."

Cai Rongxue smiled and asked, "What can you do?"

"I'm not going to eat. Do you want to see if dad agrees?" Cai Ji replied.

Cai Rongxue smiled and shook her head, touched Cai Ji's long hair, and looked towards the entrance of Gongyuan.

At this time, it was getting closer and closer to the time for the release of the list. People who wanted to catch the son-in-law under the list were rushing forward. Thousands of forbidden soldiers at the gate of the south courtyard began to scold and tried their best to stop the crowd from going to the person who was about to release the list.

People crowded around the screen wall.

After half a sound, there was a deafening sound of drums and horns in the Gongyuan. Then the courtyard door opened, and countless officials, subordinates, and forbidden troops came out from inside. At the same time, countless flags stood on both sides of the entrance of the Gongyuan, fluttering in the wind.

.

The first tribute of the new emperor Zhao Ji was held with greater grandeur than ever before.

Then an official from the Ministry of Rites stood on the high steps at the entrance of the Gongyuan, holding a brocade silk, looking at the crowds of people below, and read out the imperial edict loudly.

The general meaning is that the new emperor Zhao Ji expressed great importance to this tribute, and stated the reasons for canceling the palace examination. At the same time, he encouraged the scholars on the list to continue studying scriptures and serve the country with loyalty, and encouraged the scholars who were not on the list to continue to live in poverty.

Study hard and try again next year.

Everyone wanted to catch this annoying official of the Ministry of Rites and beat him up, but they didn't dare to bite him, and listened to him in silence as he announced his decree.

The soldiers of the Forbidden Army in full body armor around them are not just decorations...

At this time, Cai Rongxue was a little anxious, her palms were sweating, and she held Cai Rongxue tightly.

Chi's little hands prevented him from rushing past.

If anything happens to Cai Chi, Cai Rongxue will die without being able to atone for his sins.

Li Sanjian, who had not noticed Cai Rongxue, was also on tiptoe at this time, looking pitifully at the subordinate staff holding the list after the officials of the Ministry of Rites.

The leader of the mountain, Xu Biao, was also extremely anxious. He stretched his neck and looked at the entrance of the Gongyuan. He stood on either side of Li Sanjian, one on the left and one on the right. If there was any sign of trouble, the two mighty black men would immediately take action.

Li Sanjian and others did not squeeze in. The first reason was that there were too many people and it was too difficult to squeeze in. The second reason was that even if they squeezed in, they might not be able to see the list. Looking around, they could only see heads one by one.

It's better to stay where you are, you will always know the result.

At this time, Liu Anjie ran away to nowhere, he must have squeezed to the front.

After a while, the officials of the Ministry of Rites finally finished announcing the imperial edict, waved their hands and asked their subordinates to hold the list and paste it on the screen wall with paste.

As soon as several pieces of yellow paper were pasted on the screen wall, all the people swarmed forward and crowded in front of the screen wall. They opened their eyes wide and desperately searched for their names on the list, and at the same time they crowded over many forbidden soldiers.

At this time, the people who "caught the son-in-law under the list" did not follow them and crowded up. Instead, they were distributed around the candidates, their eyes as wide as bells, paying attention to every move of the candidates.

"I hit it, I hit it..."

"Dad, Mom, I'm hit, I'm hit, woo woo woo!"

"The sky has eyes, the sky has eyes, my old Bi family has finally become a Jinshi!"

"The sky has no eyes, the sky has no eyes, why? Why is this? Come and kill me, or I will kill you."

"I also won, Ge Laozi did, and I Liu Anjie also won, hahahahaha, brother John Ren, don't panic, I'm looking for your name."

Liu Anjie finally found his name on the imperial list. He was ranked 24th on the list and was a second-class Jinshi. Liu Anjie immediately danced with joy, and then frantically searched for Li Sanjian's name on the imperial list.

It's just that Liu Anjie was so happy that he only looked for Li Sanjian's name at the bottom of the list instead of at the front.

At this time, Zhu Lujuzi was either ecstatic, or devastated, or expressionless, and suddenly jumped up as he walked far away, or expressionless, and suddenly burst into tears when he walked far away, pointing fingers and cursing the tree.

, denounced the injustice of the heaven, with all kinds of expressions, and all kinds of emotions in the world are fully revealed here.

Joy is also ecstatic, and grief is also ecstatic. The difference between the two is not very big in some actions. Therefore, the people who want to catch their son-in-law are at a loss for a while, not knowing what to do, but this is difficult.

The person who couldn't stop catching the son-in-law, after a while, the people who wanted to catch the son-in-law first captured the person who was definitely the winner, and then they also captured the ambiguous son-in-law, and then took them to the home for further interrogation.

Make a decision later.

"My family has hundreds of acres of fertile land, and a certain person gave me 500 acres as a dowry."

"Send fields, houses, money, and dowry girls..."

The people who wanted to capture the son-in-law shouted, and they rushed forward with their family members. Those who grabbed the arms and legs first controlled the successful person in their hands.

At this time, all the candidates were driven around by the people who captured the son-in-law, and some who failed to pass were accidentally injured. The place was a mess, with chickens and dogs jumping around, and it was a mess.

"The first twenty-one people, the first is Li Sanjian, whose courtesy name is Hanren and whose nickname is Wu

, the slogan reads, on the 20th day of the lunar month, on August 5th, the Chou hour was born, and the Fu was dealt with in one fell swoop..."

Generally speaking, the first thing candidates look for on the list is their own name. Who cares whether others are on the list or not? But after a while, someone finally started to pay attention to the people ranked high on the list.

So someone read out loud the name of the first place winner, Li Sanjian.

"Who is Li Sanjian? Where is he?"

"Yes, it is said that the Guizhou candidates were selected from Guangnan West Road. Can people from Lingnan also be on the list?"

"Isn't it possible? He was ranked second last time, right?"

"Son, how come people from Lingnan can't be on the list? You see clearly, Dian Sa, he is still the leader, or the number one scholar. Brother Hanren, haha, your turtle got the top prize, hahahahaha!"

Although the whole place was extremely noisy at this time, Liu Anjie's Sichuan and Sichuan accent resounded clearly throughout the whole place, causing Li Sanjian, who was standing in the distance, to be stunned and stared blankly at the screen wall.

Is Liu Anjie, who is out of touch, kidding himself? Li Sanjian simply couldn't believe his ears.

The No. 1 pick? Everyone was looking around, wanting to know who had won the No. 1 pick. Those trying to catch the son-in-law were even more nervous. Some people even took out lassoes. Once they found the target, they would immediately take them home.

.But everyone looked around, but no one noticed anything unusual...

But Li Sanjian soon exposed his target.

"Ah ha, number one, my God, number one, my master has won the number one." After Shan Kui, Xu Biao heard clearly, he jumped up in unison, hugged Li Sanjian with four thick arms, and held Li Sanjian in his arms.

Li Sanjian was so strangled that he almost couldn't breathe.

Shan Kui was so excited that he burst into tears. He was even happier than he had won.

"Sister, sister, my brother-in-law has won the first prize, he has won the first prize." Cai Chi in the distance also jumped up with joy.

"He...he...he...really, really." Cai Rongxue was also so excited that her eyes filled with tears, and she was so excited that she couldn't even finish her words.

"Quick, quick, quick, go back to your house and bring in reinforcements." Although Cai Wei was young, he was extremely smart. At this time, he saw countless people who wanted to capture his son-in-law rushing towards Li Sanjian and others with various tools, so he

He hurriedly ordered a servant who came with him.

The servant hurriedly responded and ran towards Cai Mansion.

"The tall one is the top pick."

"She is so good-looking. She looks just like Pan An. He is like a literary star descending to earth, with both talent and appearance."

"Yes, yes, what my brother said is true. Such a wonderful husband is rare in the world. Quick, quick, rush forward and capture him. No matter whether it succeeds or not, I will give you a reward of five hundred coins."

Cai Chi's shouts further confirmed that Li Sanjian was the number one scholar, so the man who wanted to capture Li Sanjian's son-in-law, who had already given up on Li Sanjian, hurriedly turned around and charged towards Li Sanjian again.

The crowd rushed towards Li Sanjian, kicking up overwhelming dust, and they were fierce and fierce, vowing to capture Li Sanjian.

"Shangui, Xu Biao, rush out to the left." When Li Sanjian saw the crowd running madly, his face turned pale with fright, and he shouted repeatedly.

How is this meant to capture a son-in-law? He is totally planning to kill someone...

The leader of the mountain, Xu Biao, responded loudly, lifted up Li Sanjian and broke out to the left.
