Under normal circumstances, the grading time for the general examination is the same as that for the rural examination, which is between ten to twenty days.
There were only 4,000 candidates in the general examination that Li Jin participated in, and it is reasonable to say that the time for grading the papers should be about 15 days.
But this time it was Enke, the Ministry of Rites had to present the answer sheet in the examination to the emperor for review, so the time could be a little longer.
Li Jin's mind is calm now, and he is no longer as nervous as he was when the results were released before.
At the end of February, when the list was released, Zhu Shan saw that he was still going to the dock day after day, and couldn't help but ask him if he was not worried about whether he would be successful or not.
Li Jin replied: "Probably because there are more exams, so I am calmer than before."
Zhu Shan: How many times did you take the "..." test
If he remembered correctly, Li Jin was directly ranked first in every game. That is to say, he only took the test once in each game. How many times is this called
Zhu Shan remembered that he had been unable to succeed all the time, so he devoted himself to studying the alchemy scriptures, but he got another harvest.
He decided not to talk about the imperial examinations with the 'kaoba', so he changed the subject bluntly: "Wait a few days, there will be Cuju competitions in the Ministry of Industry, Ministry of Rites, and Ministry of War, and the Beijing Academy will also participate. You have good physical strength, do you want to participate? a bit?"
Li Jin thought that since he was not on duty in the Ministry of Works, nor was he studying at the Beijing Academy, he would not join in the fun.
However, you can take your husband and children on a spring outing. Their family came to the capital in November last year, the weather was cold, not to mention Baozi and Xiaoshan Leopard, even Qin Muwen hadn't been out a few times.
Now that the weather is getting warmer, if the two children are wrapped tightly, they can indeed be brought out to play.
On the second day of March, early in the morning, Li Jin and Qin Muwen started dressing the two children.
Xiaoshan Leopard seemed to know that Daddy was going to take him out to play, so he obediently stretched out his arms and put on a thick cotton coat, "Dad!"
But there was something wrong with the obedient little bun.
Because Baozi is six years old this year, Qin Muwen will change his clothes, while Li Jin is waiting in the yard.
After a while, Li Jin actually heard Qin Muwen say, "Baozi, be obedient."
Li Jin was a little surprised. His steamed buns have always been well-behaved and sensible, and Qin Muwen never oppressed the children with the attitude of an elder. Why is he so serious today
However, when the husband disciplines the children, he must not sing the opposite, and wait with peace of mind.
After a while, Qin Muwen pushed the door with a small bun and came out.
Li Jin's eyes lit up at the moment, because Baozi didn't wear the thick padded jacket that Qin Muwen had prepared for him in advance, but a slightly thinner jacket. A small tweet, with shiny beads hanging from the ribbon.
With Baozi's slender eyelashes and tender white cheeks, she looks like a little doll carved in pink and jade.
The real age of Xiao Baozi is four years and eight months, and his height is more than three feet (more than one meter). Although his little hands are chubby, his skeleton is small.
Wearing this way is not only not bulky, but highlights a bit of extravagance.
Qin Muwen held Xiao Baozi's hand with a helpless smile on his lips.
The capital is relatively large, and after walking past the suburbs for more than an hour, Li Jin hired a carriage in advance, prepared two stoves that could be held in his arms, and set off with his family.
The little bun got up early and asked twice along the way: "Dad, how long will it take us to get there?"
Qin Muwen said that it would take more than half an hour.
Afterwards, the little bun couldn't help being tired and rested in Qin Muwen's arms.
Qin Muwen put the cloak over him, and whispered to Li Jin about the morning.
It turned out that he wanted to dress the little buns warmer. Even though the temperature was getting warmer now, the wind was strong in the suburbs. He was worried that the children would get cold, so he prepared a thick padded jacket.
Having said that, Qin Muwen glanced helplessly at the sleeping little bun, and said, "Now he knows Amy, when I dressed him, he kept saying 'Dad, it's too fat to wear a bun like this', and finally I had to put a jacket on him."
Li Jin thought for a while, Zhu Shan came to his house for dinner a few days ago, Li Jin has been wearing a single shirt since the exam, and Zhu Shan is still wearing a padded jacket.
This is because Xiao Baozi saw the difference between a padded jacket and a single jacket, so he refused to wear a padded jacket when he said anything.
Li Jin sat up straight, wrapped Qin Muwen's shoulder with the other hand, made him lean against his arms, and said, "The bun has also grown up."
Before wrapping him up and going out, he smiled very brightly.
Now he only wears a thicker padded jacket, and he thinks he is fat.
Qin Muwen leaned on Li Jin's shoulder and felt very relieved, and the melancholy that the little bun had grown up disappeared instantly.
The carriage was parked at the foot of the mountain, Li Jin gave the driver silver money, picked up the little mountain leopard, Qin Muwen held the little bun, and the family went up the stairs.
The first section of the road up the mountain was fairly flat. There were vendors selling Ju and kites on both sides of the road. Li Jin bought a kite for Xiao Baozi.
Xiaoshan Leopard looked at the kite in his brother's hand, and his black eyes became watery at the moment, as if he could cry in the next second.
Li Jin hurriedly picked out a woolen jug for him, Xiao Shan Leopard immediately held back his tears and called out with a smile, "Father!"
Li Jin: "..." The speed at which the second cub changed his face.
The little bun was not interested because his younger brother had Ju. The last time he watched Li Jin's cuju, he was still young, and he only had shallow memories in his mind.
So, at this moment, he obviously prefers the kite in his hand. He said, "Baozi flies the kite to show his brother."
Walking through the stone steps, you will see a flat open space with a small stream flowing in the middle.
Those who came early consciously sat on the edge of the open space, leaving the middle place for the kite-flying children.
The venue for Cuju is opposite the stream, and the people sitting there are basically the wives and relatives of officials.
Li Jin is tall, tall and straight, with handsome eyebrows, while Qin Muwen's face is softer, with a cinnabar mole on his eyebrows, which is particularly beautiful.
The little buns beside them are so cute that people can't take their eyes off them.
As soon as the family came over, they attracted the attention of the people around them, and some people even took the initiative to say hello and move a place for their home.
But people from Mr. Zhu Shan's family across the stream also saw them and sent a servant to invite them over.
Li Jin could only apologize apologetically to the person who had just invited him, and then went to Zhushan.
There was a wooden bridge over the creek, with stones under it, and it swayed slightly.
Xiaocha politely declined the help of the servant, so she took courage and jumped over in two or three times.
Li Jin carried the mountain leopard, the little bun, and the husband one by one.
Xiao Baozi saluted Mr. Zhu Shan's family in a regular manner, but Xiao Shan Leopard didn't have this concern. His big black eyes were still looking at the wooden bridge, and he seemed to want to go up again.
Qin Muwen unpacked, spread a cushion on the ground and sat down.
The tips of his ears were a little red, and many people saw Li Jin's squatting down on his back just now, including the gazes of many girls. Although he was old and married, his heart was still beating fast.
Xiao Baozi sat beside Qin Muwen with the kite, looked at his younger brother in his father's arms, and smiled at him.
"My brother, I will show you a kite later."
Little Mountain Leopard: "Brother."
Little Bun: "No, it's my brother."
"elder brother."
Buns:"… "
When he had nothing to do, he looked at Ju in his brother's arms and felt very familiar.
After a while, the Cuju competition started. Baozi Xiaolu's eyes widened, and his mouth could not help but open wide, making an 'ah' sound.
He turned back and grabbed his father's hand, his small mouth was silent for a while, and he shouted, "Father, Cuju!"
He obviously remembered the scene when he was held in his arms by his father and watched his father play Cuju off the court.
Li Jin was amused by his small appearance and said, "Want to see Daddy Cuju?"
Baozi's little hand grabbed his father: "Is it okay?"
Li Jin handed Xiaoshan Leopard to Qin Muwen and said, "Daddy go over and ask."
In addition to the stipulated teams in the Cuju competition, some people will suddenly come to the interest and directly perform various tricks of Cuju.
As soon as Li Jin came off the stage, people from the Dushui Qing officials saw him: "Sir, we are here!"
Li Jin walked over, and the people over there had begun to invite him warmly: "Sir, do you want to come to Cuju?"
"This year, instead of being divided according to each department, we chose the captains of the ten winning teams last year, and cast lots to divide the people. Come on, sir."
Li Jin was very pleasantly surprised by this new rule. He didn't want to join a certain department or team before, but he just didn't want to be too obvious.
Although in the eyes of many people, he is already a member of the Ministry of Industry.
Li Jin nodded in agreement.
He went to sign up and waited for the captain over there to start casting lots.
Five people per team, two teams per game, ten people in total. With so many people, it looks like they have to play a dozen games.
The little bun took Qin Muwen's hand instead, "Daddy, Daddy Cuju!"
Qin Muwen is also looking forward to it. No one will be more excited than him to see a man who has always been stable and full of fighting spirit.
Li Jin's game is the second, the team is divided into red team and yellow team.
He was still on the red team this time, and was assigned a red hair tie, robe, and boots.
According to the rules of the court, people without official status cannot wear boots, of course, the performance is an exception.
Cuju is a part of the performance program, so Li Jin rudely put on boots with a white background and a black surface.
Li Jin said that he was good at defending and throwing the ball. Although the captain didn't know him, he saw him when he was carrying his family across the river just now.
"You are stable in the next game, and you will guard the last level of our team."
"it is good."
According to the division of labor, Li Jin is the one who played at the end of their team. This is the second time that he has worn red clothes. With handsome eyebrows, broad back and slender and strong legs, he can't be moved. Open your eyes.
There are girls shouting: "Red team! Ah!"
The family members of the general's mansion who were sitting on the high place chatting also heard the exclamation. They looked down, and their eyes clearly fell on Li Jin.
Mo Zixuan's mother smiled and said, "What a handsome young man."
The old lady didn't come out because she was too old. The people who went out this time were the female relatives and children of each room.
The fifth said, "I know him! Uncle Li!"
As soon as he said this, the female relatives also knew that it was the old general's younger brother.
The old lady was full of praise for him.
"It's a real talent."
"Complete both civil and military."
After they finished speaking, they realized that the fifth child was gone.
"Where's Zifeng?"
"Go find someone!"
Mo Zixuan had been taking care of his younger brothers, so he heard the words and went to greet him: "Zifeng went downstairs to find a little friend to play with, the boy will bring him back."
"No need, just send someone to watch and don't get lost, let him play."
Mo Zixuan pursed his lips and said, "Go and look at him, baby."
A group of female relatives: "..." When did their eldest family value their younger brothers so much
