"Brother, that person was so cute!" Ning Nuonuo said, sitting down next to Ning Hongze, not caring about the smell on him.
"Really? What's so cute about it?" It's just that her face is a little rounder and her skin is a little fairer.
To be honest, I feel safer with a muscular man like him.
"I don't know, but just looking at it makes me feel good."
Ning Nuonuo said with a smile.
Ning Hong gave Ning Nuonuo a deep look, and suddenly felt an urge to drag Han Tianbao over and give him a good beating.
It would be best to beat that face so badly that he can't hook up with anyone anymore.
"My daughter Nuonuo is also of marriageable age."
"Brother, what nonsense are you talking about?" Upon hearing the word "marriage," Ning Nuonuo's face immediately flushed slightly.
"Don't worry, your brother has prepared your dowry and everything else. He will make sure you get married in style."
"Brother, I'm not getting married. I want to stay with you for the rest of my life."
Seeing the deep affection between Ning Hongze and Ning Nuonuo, Yang Lian felt extremely envious.
These past few days, she's been staying with Ning Nuonuo in her city apartment, keeping her company, and she's become increasingly envious of Ning Nuonuo.
What does it matter if I have no father or mother? Having an older brother is enough to replace everything.
Ning Nuonuo prepared a room for her.
Everything inside, including the bedding, was brand new.
She had never lived in such a nice house, nor used such new bedding. It all felt like a dream.
There was even a dressing table, not to mention that Ning Nuonuo also gave her a lot of beaded ornaments.
It's not as valuable as the original gold hairpin, but it's still very exquisite.
There were even two silver hairpins and several pairs of silver cloves.
If she could, she would love to live in this house forever, even if it meant being a maid.
Unfortunately, time has already run out.
She's about to leave and go back to the village.
Thinking of this, Yang Lian couldn't help but sigh.
There are still a few days until the results are released.
Ning Hong didn't want the hassle of traveling back and forth, so she planned to return to her hometown after the results were announced.
He slept soundly for several days.
Once he recovered, he took Ning Nuonuo and Yang Lian out shopping.
There are too many officials in the capital; any one of them could be an official if you were to be randomly knocked down.
Initially, Ning Hong thought that being a Juren (a successful candidate in the highest imperial examinations) was enough. Later, she realized that this was only true in Yangcheng; in other remote areas, it was far from sufficient in the capital.
Therefore, if one were fortunate enough to pass the imperial examination and obtain the title of Juren...
Ning Hong hesitated.
Should we continue to take the exams for higher levels?
He had no good teachers, and his desire to advance in his studies was nothing short of a pipe dream.
Sigh, I'd better see if I can pass the imperial examination and become a scholar first.
Ning Hong was unaware that his exam paper had already caused quite a stir.
Some examiners thought Ning Hongze's words were absurd and ridiculous, and that such a candidate should definitely fail the exam. Others, however, had bright eyes and felt that his words made sense. Although he did not have the talent to be the top scholar, he could be ranked in the top ten because his words were substantial.
For a time, the debate raged on.
The two groups were roughly equal in number. The chief examiner looked at Ning Hongze's exam paper and felt that both sides had some merit, so he couldn't make a decision for the time being.
He then took the scroll and went to find Grand Tutor Han.
They have already investigated this candidate named Ning Hongze.
He had no one behind him, no connections, just an ordinary merchant family, and of course, he earned it all himself.
After a night of deep thought, Grand Tutor Han took the examination paper to the palace.
This article is weak in style and lacks literary flair, but it is full of conviction and substance. If everything this person says can be realized, then the future of their Great Jin Dynasty is promising.
The current emperor of the Great Jin Dynasty is named Min Duan.
He is forty years old this year and has been on the throne for twenty-six years. His reign title is Duanwen.
For the past twenty-six years, he has worked diligently to govern the country, and he has indeed been a diligent emperor. However, while he is diligent, his talents are not readily apparent. Fortunately, he is a man who can listen to the advice of others.
Even more fortunately, both Grand Tutor Han and the current Prime Minister were loyal to the emperor and loved their country.
Therefore, with the help of these people, the Great Jin Dynasty was thriving.
"Grand Tutor, what is this...?" Emperor Duanwen looked at the examination paper in his hand with slight surprise. "What is this? It seems to be this year's examination paper?"
"It's this year's exam paper."
A glint appeared in the Grand Tutor's eyes, and a smile appeared on his old face.
"This child is exceptionally talented."
The day the results were released was fast approaching.
The entrance to the government office was crowded with examinees, all eagerly anticipating the exam.
I'm looking forward to making the list later.
Those who passed the imperial examinations in the Great Jin Dynasty could be selected as officials.
He started as a low-ranking official (rank 9) and rose to the rank of county magistrate (rank 7).
However, even those who passed the imperial examinations found it difficult to gain official positions.
It's almost the end of the fourth rank.
However, for many children from poor families, passing the imperial examination and becoming a scholar or official was also a viable path.
They have no connections, so it's already difficult for them to rise to a higher position. Even if they take the higher-level exams, they might not be able to pass.
It would be better to seize the opportunity and directly seek an official position; at least that would be a way to make a living and make things easier for the family.
Ning Hong always thought she should be in a calm state of mind.
But when the moment finally arrives, you realize it would be a lie to say you're not nervous.
Sitting in a private room at a restaurant opposite the government office, Ning Hong's heart was pounding, but she managed to control her emotions to avoid losing composure in front of her sister. She maintained a remarkably calm demeanor.
"Hey, Brother Ning, you're here."
