The Peasant Girl’s Splendid Manor

The results of the first round of retests came out the next day, and Mo Qingze's name appeared high on the list. Of course, this kind of exam is designed to determine the top 30, and the ranking is very arbitrary. The appearance of one's name at the top does not mean that one person's policy performance is better than others. Therefore, it is impossible to tell who is likely to win the top spot just by looking at the list.

However, due to Mo Qingze's repeated outstanding performance, among the students, the voice for winning the first place is still the highest.

After knowing the result, Mo Qingze just nodded without saying anything more, and continued to read with the door closed, sorting out some unfamiliar and incomprehensible knowledge, including some content that seemed to have nothing to do with the scientific examination.

The rest of the Mo family also performed their duties and lived their lives as usual without much change.

Compared with the peace of the Mo family, the twenty-nine students living in Beijing waiting for the last round of palace examinations were not so lucky. Any young man who has not married a wife has become a favorite in the eyes of others, especially those from official families with unmarried girls.

Most of these officials have low official positions. It is unrealistic to marry their daughter into a high-ranking family, so they want to choose a promising student as their son-in-law. When the son-in-law becomes successful, the in-law family will naturally rise; even if he cannot get ahead, It’s not much different, you won’t lose anything.

There are many people with this mentality, so no matter what their family background is, among the twenty-nine students, except for a few old men who are over fifty and have grandchildren, all the others of marriageable age are being targeted.

As for whether these people are engaged or not, it is not something that the officials will consider. Some students who sensed the signs even refused to take wives in order to get a noble family. If we can get help from the Yue family, we will have to struggle for ten or even decades less. There is no shortage of people in this world who want to be Chen Shimei!

As night approaches, the lanterns are first lit. In the Zhuque Alley near the palace, the lights are like stars in the blue sky. On the corridors of every house, exquisite lanterns are lit. Ordinary people who are told to save lamp oil may feel distressed and have to pounce on them all to extinguish them all.

It seems luxurious, but to the people living in Zhuque Lane, this is nothing at all. Just because all the most powerful officials in the court live in Zhuque Alley, the luxury and wealth here are beyond the imagination of ordinary people outside.

At this time, a luxurious and extraordinary carriage drove far away from the main road of Zhuque Lane and stopped steadily in front of the main entrance with a "Zhao Mansion" plaque hanging high.

The coachman quickly jumped out of the carriage and opened the door. He looked like he was sixteen or seventeen years old, but he bowed his waist and said respectfully to the people in the carriage: "Master, we are here!"

After saying that, he immediately knelt down on the ground. The height of his arched back was just one step lower than the carriage shaft.

The next moment, a middle-aged man wearing a second-grade official uniform with a general's belly lifted the curtain and poked his head out. This middle-aged man is none other than the head of the Zhao family, Mr. Zhao Fengnian, the Minister of Taichang Temple.

As if Master Zhao didn't see the person kneeling on the ground, he stepped on the coachman's back very naturally with one foot. Unfortunately for his weight of nearly two hundred kilograms, he was able to get off the carriage firmly.

Without even looking at the coachman who was still lying on the ground, he hurriedly stepped into the gate of Zhao Mansion.

The young coachman stood up with a grin on his face. He unconsciously raised his hand and pressed his back where he had been stepped on.

I've been on duty for half a month, and my body is still a little unaccustomed to it!
