After the Lantern Festival every year, it is the time for the Wenhua Hall admissions exam. Yaoyao is eight years old this year, just within the scope of admissions.

After breakfast in the morning, Yaoyao and Fu Jingen said to Qingshu: "Dad, mom, don't worry, I will definitely give you the first place this time."

Qingshu's ears were so calloused that she couldn't respond to her.

Fu Jingen said: "Just say this in front of me and your mother. Don't go outside, otherwise you will be ridiculed if you fail the exam."

"Dad, I will definitely pass the first place in the exam."

Fu Jingen nodded and said, "I also believe that you can get first place in the exam, but we must be humble outside. The old saying goes, pride will make people retreat, and only modesty can make people get better and better. My mother and I hope you can get better and better."

Yaoyao nodded and said proudly: "Dad, I will become a person as powerful as you and your mother in the future."

Qingshu felt that it was difficult for Yaoyao to achieve success like Fu Jingen in the future. After all, there has never been a female assistant in all dynasties!

After sending the person to the door, Yaoyao called out to the two of them and said, "Dad, mom, you just wait for my good news!"

Qingshu originally wanted to take two days off to accompany her to the exam, but Yaoyao didn't agree. She felt that it was a waste of time for her to wait outside when she took the exam inside.

After the person left, Qingshu looked at Fu Jingen and smiled: "Yang Changfeng's daughter Yang Jianing was proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting at such a young age. Her articles were written very well. Yaoyao met a strong enemy this time."

All these news were told by Xiaoyu, and there would be no mistakes.

"If this Yang Jianing is really as outstanding as you, that would be a good thing for Yaoyao."

Yaoyao is very smart, but she is a little complacent because she has not met someone smarter than her. Now she meets a girl who is more outstanding than her, and it is also a good thing to let her suffer.

Qingshu nodded and said, "I hope she will be second in the exam, and she will not dare to be so complacent again in the future. However, Yaoyao has studied very hard in the past two years, and Yang Jianing may not be able to pass her exam."

However, parents all hope that their children will do well in the exam, but Qingshu hopes that their daughter will fail in the exam. Yaoyao must know, but she doesn’t know what to think!

Fu Jingen said with a smile: "If the scores of the two are not much different, Yaoyao will also feel urgency and will study harder in the future."

After the conversation, the two went to the yamen separately.

As soon as he arrived, Wei Qingshu was called by Duan Boyang. He originally thought she wanted her to go on a business trip. After all, Qingshu hadn't been on a business trip for more than four months, but it turned out not.

Duan Boyang smiled and said, "Mr. Lin, Minister of Works, Lord Chen, has handed his resignation."

He knew that Qingshu wanted to go to the Ministry of Works, and that was why he had not been transferred until now. Qingshu had to take care of his family, so the heterodynamic arrangements for Li Yong to go in the past four months. However, Li Yong is not the main business after all, and many things are inconvenient.

Qingshu looked surprised and said, "Mr. Chen has always been very strong, why did he suddenly submit his resignation?"

Lord Chen, the left assistant minister of the Ministry of Works, is not only honest and upright, but also devoted himself to developing more effective flood control and hazard protection methods over the years, and has achieved remarkable results over the years. Because of his character and ability, the emperor relied heavily on him. The Minister of Works will retire in a few years when he is old. Many people think that Lord Chen will be his successor, and even Qingshu thinks so.

Feiyuwei has already found out about this matter. Duan Boyang said: "Mr. Chen's son attempted suicide in his hometown because his name was not good. He was injured without hesitation."

Qingshu asked in surprise: "Mr. Chen's only son Chen Xian was not sent to Gansu, so why did he attempt suicide in his hometown?"

Duan Boyang said: "Mr. Chen has two sons, the older one is Chen Xian and the younger one is Chen Shan. Chen Shan has adopted his elder brother just one month old, because not many people know about this after many years."

Qingshu frowned and asked, "Why did Chen Shan commit suicide?"

Lord Chen is only fifty years old this year, and Chen Shan is only around thirty years old. He is so young that he can't think about committing suicide. There must be something wrong.

Duan Boyang said: "In the fifth year after Chen Shan adopted him, Mrs. Chen Lao Beng Huaizhu gave birth to a son, and the couple became cold to him. Chen Shan is quite talented in studying. Who would have thought that three consecutive child tests would have accidents, and then he was injured and could no longer write with his right hand."

"Is it artificial?"

Qingshu doesn’t believe in any accidents. Generally, candidates at home pay special attention to their diet and bedding and clothes.

Duan Boyang said: "It's been many years since I can't check it. However, because Chen Shan's personality is getting weirder and weirder. Sometimes he doesn't say a word for a few days, and sometimes he talks to himself for a long time."

"Is it for him that Lord Chen resigned?"

Duan Boyang nodded and said, "Yes. Lord Chen received a letter from Chen Shan not long ago. According to time, the letter should have been written by Chen Shan before he committed suicide."

Therefore, Lord Chen’s resignation must have a great relationship with Chen Shan.

Qingshu shook his head and said, "Mr. Chen must be worried that Chen Shan can come to the capital to take care of him. There is no need to resign from his post and go back to his hometown."

It took thirty years from a seventh-rank small county magistrate to a third-rank assistant minister. Now it is a pity for him to give up Qingshu once he gives up.

Duan Boyang said: "The emperor tried to keep it, but Lord Chen had decided to leave. He also said that he had severe rheumatism and his legs would be painful when the day changed. So he wanted to go back to his hometown to take good care of his health. However, he also said that if the court still uses him in the future, he would have no choice."

Among the officials, there are corrupt officials, some who only want to climb up, but there are also good officials like Lord Chen who are dedicated to the people.

Duan Boyang saw Qingshu's face without any joy, and knew that she was regretting Lord Chen: "Mr. Chen's rheumatism is true. Now, if you step down and take care of your body, you don't have to suffer as much as before."

Qingshu nodded.

As soon as she arrived at home in the evening, Qingshu received a letter from Qianfen. The letter was written a month and a half ago. Qianfen said that she and Xia Lan had both recovered and would set off for Beijing in February.

In recent years, Qingshu has been following Honggu and Qianfenhu when he went out. After returning, Chuntao and Ye Xiu were still a little uncomfortable.

Ye Xiu is Yin Jiahui's apprentice, but after knowing that Qingshu would be transferred from Feiyugu, she asked Ye Xiu to work with Qingshu. Her intention was very obvious, so that Ye Xiu would follow Qingshu in the future.

Although Feiyuwei has been restructured now, Ye Xiu has a sweetheart and wants to marry him and live a normal woman's life, and the wish to stay in Feiyuwei will never be realized. Although Yin Jiahui couldn't bear it, she saw that she had decided to fulfill her. Finally, Duan Boyang agreed to let Ye Xiu follow Qingshu in the future after she paid a certain price.
