Chapter 1796 Autumn Examination

Chang Yi smiled and nodded, "My son, I only reacted when he saw Lord Zheng winking at me."

Zhulan, "The Zheng family has decided to choose a son-in-law with a humble family background."

"My son estimated that the Zheng family had already prepared a list. The future son-in-law must have a family background and some talent, but not be too outstanding."

Zhu Lan said angrily, "It's hard for the Zheng family."

Chang Yi smiled and said, "My son thinks this is a good idea."

"Well, Zheng Hong came to the rescue today, which shows that we can only wait until the autumn exam to get engaged."

Chang Yi talked about the Ministry of Rites again. "The third prince's mother's family, the Du family, has been quite quiet this year. They have done a good job in the Ministry of Rites."

Zhu Lan thought of the Third Prince, "The Third Prince is in the Ministry of Industry. Now that he has some confidence, he should have been beaten."

Chang Yi thought so too, "The Ministry of Rites was busy with the Spring Examination, and the Second Prince did not intervene but was very concerned about this year's candidates."

Zhulan, "Also ranked second, the Second Prince is far behind the Prince of Qi."

Chang Yi thought to himself that it was far from the right path. In addition, the Liu family was too ambitious. If the Crown Prince succeeded to the throne, the Second Prince would not have the freedom of the Prince of Qi. If he did not stop and continued to cause trouble, his fate would be similar to that of Prince Liang. No, Prince Liang had the courage to sacrifice his life in exchange for the peace of the Prince Liang's Palace, but the Second Prince would not have the guts and determination if that really happened.

In Chuanzhou City, just as Changzhi expected, many people already knew the answers to questions of similar types.

Chang Zhi asked, "Do you think that Prefect Shi noticed this?"

"Even if he notices it, he will pretend not to know, and he might even help to hide it from adults."

Chang Zhi also thought so. It would not make much sense to be discovered now. Only when the candidates for the autumn examination found out on the day would they be shocked. When the autumn examination was over, they would send someone to make a fuss and involve him. Prefect Shi and others would be happy because it would divert a lot of attention. It would not be much loss for them because they would be abandoned anyway.

Ding Jue continued, "Fortunately, the adults have already made arrangements."

Chang Zhi stood with his hands behind his back, "I am looking forward to this autumn exam."

Ding Jue's blood was boiling, "It has been arranged."

Chang Zhi nodded, "Now that no one is watching you, send someone to pick up your family and bring them to Chuanzhou City."

He was afraid that Ding Jue would not be able to bear knowing the truth, so it was better for him to have his family around him.

Ding Jue, "My Lord, are you afraid that my family will be in danger if I expose them?"

"Well, I have to be careful in the end, even if I go crazy."

Ding Jue, "I will send someone to pick up my wife and children and bring them to Chuanzhou City."

"Yes, everything is arranged at the temple and will be picked up when we leave."

"yes."

Chang Zhi reviewed the plan again in his mind to make sure there was nothing missing. He couldn't help but touch the token in his arms, which was the basis of the plan.

Ding Jue said, "Sir, An Ao from the An family has not returned yet."

“I can’t run away.”

At this time, someone reported that Master Qian Jiang had arrived. Qian Jiang hurried in and asked, "Sir, who have you tested?"

Changzhi was surprised, "How did you know?"

Qian Jiang did not hide the fact, "The Qian family in Chuanzhou City has two inns, one of which is close to the examination hall."

Changzhi understood, "I didn't expect that Brother Qian has such a rich family background."

Qian Jiang, "Our family has been in Sichuan for generations."

The Qian family is just more low-key.

Changzhi asked, "Are you really not going to take part in the Spring Examination?"

Qian Jiang was a little confused, "Sir, now tell me whether you have tested anyone, this is what is important."

"I understand what you said."

Even if there hadn't been yesterday's chance encounter, he had already made arrangements, and all his plans would have been shattered on the day of the autumn examination.

Seeing that Lord Zhou was confident, Qian Jiang's mind wandered a little. He thought he was indeed not suitable for officialdom. Look at how calm Lord Zhou was, while he did not dare to delay for a moment after receiving the report.

Changzhi asked again, "You haven't answered my question yet."

Qian Jiang was entangled. If he had not met Lord Zhou, his heart would definitely not waver and he would continue to be his money manager. However, when he met Lord Zhou, his father advised him not to tell anyone. After the clan knew about it, the elders in the clan also advised him back.

He knew in his heart that his participation in the Spring Examination was no longer a personal matter, but now it had become a matter for the entire family. If there was no chance that Chuanzhou had not been investigated, the family would not interfere with his thoughts. Now the family needed him.

Chang Zhi saw that Qian Jiang had lost his former straightforwardness, and understood. He raised his hand and patted Qian Jiang on the shoulder, "I'll wait for you in Beijing."

Qian Jiang let out a long sigh, "Yes."

The day before the Autumn Examination came in a flash. Zhulan met Jiang Ling and asked, "Have you arranged everything?"

Jiang Ling replied, "The house has already been cleaned and everything has been arranged."

Zhulan: "That's good. Have a good rest today."

Jiang Ling specially asked for leave for her fiancé to accompany her to take the exam. "I will go back first."

"Okay, Qingxue will see Miss Jiang off."

Jiang Ling hurriedly said no, and in the end it was Qingxue who sent Jiang Ling out.

Minghui came out of the side room, and Zhulan asked, "Do you really want to go and take a look?"

Minghui sat down and shook his head, "No, if Sun'er goes there, it will only put pressure on Shao Xun."

"The autumn examination is over, and it's time for Shao Xun and Miss Jiang to get married."

"fine."

Zhulan also thought so, "The autumn examination will be held tomorrow."

Minghui thought of the An family, "The An family hasn't taken any action recently."

Zhu Lan sneered, "They are waiting for the Autumn Examination to be over!"

Minghui was thinking about his fourth uncle, who must have made quite a move.

More than that, in the palace, the emperor asked Zhou Shuren, "Aren't you curious about what your fourth son's plan is?"

Zhou Shuren held the emperor's eldest grandson in his arms. He had seen him so many times that he no longer rejected him. "I want to sleep a few more days."

The emperor curled his lips and said, "Your son is very courageous."

Zhou Shuren laughed dryly, "Chang Zhi is a smart guy. Your Majesty, don't let him go in the future."

The emperor thought of Changzhi's plan and nodded in agreement, "I really don't plan to let him go again. He is good at editing books. By the way, your eldest grandson, will you let him sort out the knowledge points and question types?"

Zhou Shuren said, "Minghui, his name is Minghui, Mingteng is the third son of the first wife."

The Emperor: "Okay, I'll remember that."

Zhou Shuren then said, "Indeed, I discovered it by accident, and I specially detained him at home to compile two books. I also think they are good after reading them."

"You didn't even show it to me."

Zhou Shuren explained: "I want to see the effect."

Since the emperor had spoken, he naturally knew what had happened. "Then I will wait."

Zhou Shuren smiled and said, "This child takes after my wife."

The emperor nodded. "So it is indeed like your wife."

Zhou Shuren, "Madam."

"Stop, I've heard too much."

As soon as the old man started showing off, he could memorize what he was going to say.

Zhou Shuren was holding back his anger and said dryly, "My wife is indeed amazing."

The emperor laughed, "Yes, I didn't say your wife is not amazing."

The next day, the autumn examination began. Students from all over the country were waiting to enter the examination room, and there was a long queue in the examination room.

In Chuanzhou, Changzhi did not rush into the examination room, but looked at the scholars queuing up.

The deputy examiner accompanied him, "Sir, it's time for us to go in."

Changzhi hummed, "Let's go."
