When talking about Xiao Shao, Jiang Susu's pretty face turned red, and she lowered her head shyly and stopped talking. Jiang Chao thought for a while: "If King Jinying really likes his sister, he can take care of me in the officialdom in the future."

"Second brother, what are you saying?" Jiang Susu was a little embarrassed. Xia Yan also frowned: "Whatever you do, your sister's reputation can be taken out so casually." After a pause, she said: "Now you should read the book carefully. In a few days, the scientific examination will win the championship. Then Su'er's affairs can be revealed together, and your father will be happy. By then, Jiang Ruan is not an ant, so you can control it."

When Jiang Susu heard this, she immediately said, "Second brother, don't let us down."

Jiang Chao waved his hand: "Don't worry, the upper and lower levels have already been prepared, and I will definitely get a good ranking." He said: "At that time, I will rise to the top, be a noble and superior person, and I will not deserve to teach those inferior people to carry shoes for me!" At this point, his tone became sinister, and Liu Min's high-ranking gaze flashed in his eyes.

Xia Yan patted his shoulder: "My son, my mother will pray for you."

When Luzhu said what Mei Qingyuan found to Jiang Ruan, Jiang Ruan just smiled faintly. Seeing her careless appearance, Luzhu said anxiously: "Girl, I will be in a few days for the scientific examination. The second young master is so confident. If he really wins the ranking, we will be bad."

"How can he win the ranking without talent or virtue?" Jiang Ruan looked at the picture he had just completed in front of him and put down his pen. Dewdrops came over to see a moonlight picture on the scroll. The moonlight shone brightly across the hills, and there was a faint light of fireflies in the jungle.

"The girl's painting is so beautiful." Luzhu exclaimed: "Is this one to be framed?"

"No need, send it to the Imperial College." Jiang Ruan said.

"Draw?" Dew Zhu said in surprise: "Miss sends paintings? Don't write?"

"He will understand." Jiang Ruan rolled up his words.

Moonlight or fireflies, who has the brighter light, who has the more shining. The place where fireflies can fly is only a few feet high, and the light that can shine is only a square inch. How high is the moon? The places where it can shine are mountains, rivers, lakes and seas. The higher the standing, the wider the place where it shines. If you want to help more people, you must have more power. With a higher status, you can do things more freely.

The smart Liu Min will not understand this principle.

Although Luzhu didn't understand why, he still put away the scroll. Jiang Ruan gave a few more instructions in her ear. Luzhu looked surprised and nodded and went out.

In the next few days, the weather passed in peace. On the surface, nothing special happened, but I heard rumors in the capital. The emperor wanted to accept Lord Zhao of Hanlin Academy as the chief examiner, so Lord Zhao accepted bribes from the candidates. This matter was widely rumored in the market, and the censors submitted memorials to request a thorough investigation of the matter. The annual scientific examination was of great importance. The emperor was furious when he heard this and suspended Lord Zhao from his post and asked for a test.

When the news of Lord Zhao's suspension came out, it was said that Jiang Quan had not returned to the mansion for two days. After returning to the mansion, he became very angry. Mei Qingyuan was overwhelmed. Jiang Chao was angry and dealt with several maids who had made small mistakes. The servants of the Jiang family were anxious all day long, and only Ruan Ju was still as comfortable as ever.

At this time, Jiang Susu posted another post to Prince Jinying's Mansion, wanting to come to thank Xiao Shao for helping him on the Lantern Festival. Unexpectedly, Xiao Shao was not in the mansion. Instead, Jiang Susu was scolded by an old housekeeper over 60 years old in the Jinying's Mansion and came back angrily.

Lian Forsythia and Dew couldn't wait to learn Jiang Susu's angry and embarrassing appearance to Jiang Ruan, which made Jiang Ruan feel a little happy.

Also, Madam Zhou's condition has been cured a lot with careful care. She was afraid that she would scare the servants of Ruan Ju, so Madam Zhou wrapped her eyes with a strip of cloth. She could do some simple tasks in Madam Ruan Juli on weekdays.

Jiang Ruan, the maids sent by Xia Yan, have been left unattended. Only Lian Qiao is impatient and obeys the maids. Although Bai Zhi looks gentle, she is actually not very close to others. These maids are hung up in Ruan Ju and are always indifferent. Only the scholarly fragrance works quickly and cleanly, and the temperament is gentle and appropriate. Lian Qiao and Bai Zhi cannot find her mistakes.

However, the rumors about Jiang Susu and Xia Yan's mother and daughter in Beijing were suppressed because of the rumor that the examiner accepted bribes, which was a blessing in disguise.

On the day of the examination, the Ministry of Rites was presided over by Jiang Chao. He was not very happy when he returned to his residence, but now the examiners appointed by the emperor are all stubborn ministers, and there is no room for negotiation.

Waiting anxiously, the day of the release of the results was unexpectedly that Jiang Chao only ranked 458th and did not even get Gongyuan. Jiang Quan was so angry that he locked himself in the study and saw no one. The behavior of taking Jiang Chao around for socializing a few days ago seemed like a huge joke. Jiang Susu was extremely disappointed. Xia Yan wanted to persuade Jiang Quan. Jiang Quan got angry with her for the first time, and Linlang stood aside and dared not speak.

Jiang Chao got the news that he failed and left the Jiang Mansion without saying a word. He drank very drunk in the restaurant for several days and never returned home every day, but seemed to be decadent.

When Luzhu talked about these things to Jiang Ruan, her tone was very relieved: "It turns out that this second young master is just saying it nicely, but in fact he has no ability. I heard that he drinks every day, and the master asked him to tie him back today to use family methods to teach him a lesson."

Jiang Ruan took a sip of tea: "He is arrogant and looks more important than life. Naturally, he cannot accept failure."

"I think the second young master is not as good as a girl. The girl is much smarter than the second young master." Luzhu curled his lips.

Jiang Ruan lowered her eyes and said nothing. A few days ago, she asked Luzhu to go to the market to bribe the rumors that the chief examiner bribes. In the last life, Lord Zhao's bribes were only revealed a few years later. Now that she said this early, the emperor will definitely change the chief examiner. In case of this, the examiner who changed must be a righteous and honest Qingliu. Although Jiang Chao's articles were done well, they were too sleek. For the Qingliu faction, he hated such articles the most. Even if he did not lose the first place, he would not have a good ranking.

On the contrary, Liu Min's lonely and straightforward personality must be very much in the appetite of the examiner. The palace examination where the emperor personally took the exam, with her letters, subtly changed Liu Min's views and would definitely win the emperor's favor.

Liu Min, Liu Min, Jiang Ruan smiled slightly, don’t let me down.

Sure enough, three days later, the palace examination results were released, and the emperor appointed Liu Min's top scorer, Mo Cong's second place, and Wang Ziling became Tanhualang.
