Fu Jingen was very surprised to hear that he was ranked fifth. He felt that his grades should be outside the 20th. After all, his poems were written a bit unsatisfactory.

Generally, people who do good poetry are more emotional, while Qingshu and Fu Jingen are both very rational people, so the poems they write are all in line.

Mr. Nie laughed happily: "It should be a big deal."

"Jingen, is there any daughter who is still popular? Give the teacher another drink!"

Fu Jingen shook his head and said, "I told you last time that those were the last two jars. But if you want to drink them, I will ask Shuangrui Fuyun Tower to buy you a jar of pear blossoms for you, but I can only drink one glass every day, otherwise my master's wife will know that even I will scold you."

He sealed the entrance of the wine cellar, and the wine inside will not be taken out for the time being.

Mr. Nie was a little regretful, but it was really gone. Although the pear blossom white was almost there, it was better than nothing.

When the wine comes back, the imperial list is also posted.

Mo Yan said excitedly: "Young Master, you won, you won the fifth place."

Fu Jingen said: "I knew this a long time ago. What about Zhang Fu and the others? Have you ever been beaten?"

"Young Master, how do you know? Did you also look at the list?"

Shuangrui smiled and said, "The eldest princess told Miss Lin early on, so we knew it half an hour ago."

So that's it, Mo Yan continued, "Young Master, everyone has won. Mr. Zhang Fu has thirty-eight, Mr. Guan Er has 56, Mr. Guan Liqin has 69, and Mr. Li Nan has 125."

Fu Jingen was stunned: "Li Nan is one hundred and twenty-five?"

Li Nan was not sure this time and just came to try the waters. Unexpectedly, he passed the exam, but this ranking was a bit bad.

Mo Yan nodded and showed him the copied admission list.

Fu Jingen was not surprised at all when he saw that Huiyuan was Lan Jin. He was the one who called for the exam the most. He failed to take the exam last time. After three years of precipitation, he is now the first place in the exam.

The second and third place are both great talents from Jiangnan, and they are also the hottest figures that everyone bet on this time.

As for the fourth place Fu Jingen, I have never heard of this person, and it is also the biggest dark horse in this exam.

After reading the admission list, Fu Jingen went to find Lannuo: "Senior sister, I have to worry about you this time."

Lano smiled and said, "You did a good job this time, beyond my expectations."

Although Fu Jingen was the Jie Yuan of the previous class, he started late and had a weak foundation, so he was not as good as those students who were taught at a very young age and were guided by famous teachers.

Fu Jingen smiled and said, "It's also good luck. I didn't expect it to be fifth."

He has only been studying seriously for ten years. Fortunately, he has a good memory, otherwise he can compare with those candidates with deep background and good talent.

In fact, Fu Jingen was able to get the fifth place this time, not entirely luck. After knowing that he had changed the examiner, he asked Liu Heizi to collect some of his deeds. He found that he was not only upright, but also selfless, but also paid great attention to people's livelihood. He felt that power should be used by the people and profits should be sought by the people.

So the articles he wrote were very fond of Lan Yi, so he was rated as the best. If it weren't for the poetry that dragged him down, he would have been in the top three.

Lan Yi smiled and said, "Lucky is also a kind of strength. Don't worry, I will come to the old lady tomorrow to talk about the wedding date. By the way, who have you decided to find to be auspicious day? If not, I will recommend one to you."

Fu Jingen smiled and said, "Grandma Gu said she knew a master from Lingshan Temple. I would like to ask her to help us calculate the auspicious day of the zodiac."

Mrs. Gu also said that he would review with peace of mind and prepare for the next palace examination. As for the wedding date, she would notify him.

Lannuo smiled and said, "The old lady is so considerate to you, you must be filial to her in the future."

Needless to ask, I know, the old lady must live with them.

Fu Jingen nodded and said, "I will be filial to her with Qingshu."

After saying a few words, Lannuo said, "Go back quickly! There is still one month left to have a palace examination, so you can prepare well."

When he got home, he saw Zhang Fu and Guan Liqin and others: "What are you here to do? You won't want to live in my house again, right?"

The three of them were really ready to live here. Zhang Fu said, "We all feel that it is more down-to-earth to review with you, and my parents support me when they find out."

They lived with Fu Jingen a few days before the provincial examination and the final examination, and the exam went very smoothly.

Fu Jingen looked at the three people and said funny: "Are you relying on me?"

Guan Liqin said happily: "It's too sad for our brothers to say this. Mr. Nie welcomes us very much and says he invites us to drink in the evening."

What else can I do if I have lived there? Can I still be driven out?

The next day, Lannuo went to the Gu family. Both families had already agreed that she had actually gone through the motions.

When Lannuo arrived at Gu's house, he heard Qingshu at home and asked in surprise: "Did Qingshu not go to the yamen today?"

Mrs. Gu smiled and said, "I didn't go. She told me that she would quit her job. She would give her a big vacation whenever she had something to do. Our family doesn't lack those few taels of silver, and she is stubborn and doesn't listen to me."

Lannuo said, "Why don't you wait for the next day and I will tell the eldest princess to let her come back to Wenhua Hall."

Mrs. Gu shook her head and said, "She said she wouldn't go back to Wenhua Hall, otherwise she would have taken up other people's quotas. Forget it, this child has always had an idea, so I can't care about it, let her go!"

The last incident made Mrs. Gu clearly realize that now she relies on Qingshu, not Qingshu, and so she no longer interferes with Qingshu's affairs.

Qingshu came soon.

Lano saw her and said, "Why did you lose so much weight after not seeing her for a while?"

Qingshu wondered why the elders always said that she had lost weight when they saw her, and she was still as fat as before!

Lannuo asked, "If you are unhappy in the Ministry of Rites, go back to Wenhua Hall. You don't have to worry about occupying other people's quotas, just be my assistant just like before."

Qingshu shook his head: "Thank you for your kindness, but I don't want to go back to Wenhua Hall."

Everyone has their own ambitions, and Lannuo did not force her: "If you have any difficulties, you can come to me."

Qingshu said gratefully: "Thank you sir."

After seeing Lannuo off, Mrs. Gu said, "Qingshu, I will go to Lingshan Temple tomorrow to ask Master Miaozhen to calculate a zodiac auspicious day for you."

Master Miaozhen is very famous in the capital, second only to Master Miaoyuan. However, the two are senior sisters and have a good relationship.

Qingshu nodded and said, "You can handle this grandma. But don't set the wedding date before Xiaoyu."

It’s too hot in July and August. Not to mention that things are easy to break, just say that the bride will suffer from heatstroke when wearing the thick wedding dress. September has turned cold and the weather is just right.
