"Auntie, then I have to trouble you."

After Xu Yujin finished speaking, Mrs. Xiao laughed: "What do you call me aunt? They all call me old and sister. Didn't I say that they talk about theirs and we talk about ours."

"You have something to ask for, so I'm going to call you 'sister' shamelessly. After you finish helping me, I'll call you 'sister' again."

"You little shy guy, you must have done it on purpose!"

…

While laughing and talking, the two of them discussed the banquet.

The Zhu family is no better than the Xiao family. They are locals in Pushou City. The roots of the Xiao family are in Zhujia Village, Anjiu Town. Things must be done there. It’s just that it’s not Xu Yujin’s turn to worry about things there, and she doesn’t need to intervene, but

Pushou City needs her to take action.

Otherwise, we can't let Ye Yuran, the "old lady", do it herself, right?

Since he was not a local, the people who needed to be invited were probably the Xiao family who had just become engaged to the Zhu family, relatives of Xu Yujin's natal family, Zhu San's old friends, and Zhu Qi's teachers and classmates in Pushou City, etc.

How many tables should be set, where should they be placed, and what rules should be followed for the banquet... these are all very particular.

When Xu Yujin was in her natal family, her mother had taught her, but there had been no good news in the Xu family. She really had never done anything about it. On Mrs. Xiao's side, whether it was her husband's brothers or her own son, she

It has been done by hand, so it can be considered as experienced, and it can be said that Xu Yujin is comfortable in giving guidance.

After a while, Xu Yujin had a clue in her mind.

To be honest, Zhu San and Zhu Qi’s grades were really not that good. They almost passed the exam with their tails hanging. They are better at practical matters and are down-to-earth, but when it comes to poetry...

Don't mention it, if it weren't for the current recruitment process and the new recruitment rules, they might not be able to win this year.

"You two are so lucky...that's incredible!" Mr. Xu exclaimed, because even he didn't expect that these two people would pass the exam.

After the test that day, several people silently handed over their test papers to him.

Yan and An are very good. Whether it is articles or poems, they are all very good. Mr. Xu knew at a glance that, without any accident, he would win in all likelihood, and he didn't know where he would win.

Jiang Jingtong looked a bit sluggish at ordinary times, but when it came to learning, he was really not bad at it, and his chances of winning were relatively high.

Yu Jingqi was a little worse. He was a little inattentive when studying, and he didn't know what was going on in his mind. It was just a matter of luck.

When he arrived at Zhu San and Zhu Qi's place, Mr. Xu felt a headache from their poems.

Neither of these two brothers has a romantic personality, and they are completely incapable of doing this kind of thing. Usually when they are asked to write, it is very annoying.

Later, when there was no other choice, Mr. Xu came up with an idea for them - to write down all the poetry topics that might be tested, so that if they were useful, they could "memorize" them directly.

The poems prepared in advance were naturally revised by Mr. Xu and others, so they could be seen by more or less people.

If they were allowed to do it on the spot, it would be... terrible.

Because they were fully prepared, they actually got a prepared theme poem for the test. Even if the remaining two poems are not appropriate enough, they can still be used with relevant modifications. This is the reason why the two of them passed the test with a "pass" in their poems.

"This is really good luck!" Yan and An shook their fans lightly while feeling happy for their two friends' luck.

This kind of luck is truly unique in the world!

Zhu San passed the exam based on his ability. Although he fell behind a bit, he passed the exam and became a good candidate.

As for Zhu Qi, he had a certain amount of luck. He got the title of case officer in the county examination for the first time, jumped two levels in a row, and became a "scholar" directly.

The government examination was the second examination that Zhu Qi took.

As a result, he did as well as Sun Shan, one place behind his third brother, but he also passed the exam.

"Phew...you two brothers, hahahaha...the last two positions have been taken by you." Jiang Jingtong laughed out loud when he saw the list, "Zhu Shunyou, Zhu Shunde, their names are just one word missing.

People can tell they are two brothers at a glance. If you don’t know, you two would think you two were cheating.”

"Third brother and I are not in the same examination room, how can we cheat?" Zhu Qi rolled his eyes at Jiang Jing, "And our papers were written completely differently."

"That's because we saw the paper and know who you two are, but outsiders may not know." Yan and An said, "However, since the examiner dares to put you two together, he must have measures in place, and we will wait.

Let’s see.”

Yan and An's guess was good. Some people did doubt Zhu San's and Zhu Qi's test scores. After all, their names only differed by one character, and their rankings were too close to attract attention.

What's more, there are some narrow-minded people who will definitely want to cause some trouble if they don't see the good of others if they fail the ranking.

It's just that the examiner is not a vegetarian. Not only did he mark the examination room numbers of the two people, he also posted the test papers of the two people, saying:

Cheating?

Absolutely impossible.

After seeing the test papers, many people muttered: "They are really two brothers! This is such good luck. Both brothers passed the exam. Isn't there smoke coming out of their ancestral graves?"

"I guess we're here. Did you see the name of the Sun family?"

"So what? At least they have passed the exam, and we are still just scholars."

"That's true."

…

Some people also noticed the practical contents written by Zhu San and Zhu Qi, and found that they mentioned a lot of agricultural knowledge that they had never heard of before. What about rice planting methods, what thinning methods, what composting technology...

"Do you think this is true?" Someone looked confused and asked the person next to him.

"It should be so. It's all posted. Nine times out of ten it's true. If it's not true, why would it be posted? The examiner is not a fool."

"That's true. It's just... if this method really works, then wouldn't it be..."

…

While people were discussing, the examiners in charge of this examination were also discussing. If it had not been for Qi Shuming, a special official from the central government who was in charge of this examination, to propose the adoption of these two test papers, the rest of them would not have thought of adopting them.

, after all, the things written in these two test papers are too "new", they have never heard of it, they have never seen it, no one knows the truth, just in case...

What if it's fake?

If it's fake and they still use it, wouldn't it be a slap in the face if someone finds it out later?

"Master Shangshu, look at this..." Zhou Xun looked at Master Qi's expression and asked carefully.

Qi Shangshu glanced at him and knew what this boy was up to. Wasn't he just afraid of taking responsibility and wanted him to shoulder all the responsibilities?

He felt a little disdainful, but did not show it on his face and said: "I know, I know this matter well."

Naturally, it was no joke to include those two volumes in the list. If he hadn't obtained the current secret order, do you really think he would "act selfishly for no reason"?

It's just that he still hasn't understood the meaning of today.

Thinking of the content in the test paper, Qi Shangshu felt that he needed to pay close attention to it. If it was what the present day meant, then he would naturally have to pay attention. Only when the present day asked him about it would he be able to answer it, right?
