Under normal circumstances, the marking time for the examination is the same as that for the rural examination, which is between ten and twenty days.

There were only 4,000 candidates in the test that Li Jin participated in. It stands to reason that the time for marking the paper should be about 15 days.

But this time it was Enke. After the Ministry of Rites scored the papers, he had to present the test papers to the emperor for review, so it took a little longer.

Li Jin is now calm and no longer as nervous as before when he had scores.

At the end of February, it was close to the release of the list. Seeing that he was still going to the dock day after day, Zhu Shan couldn't help but ask him if he was not worried about whether he could get it.

Li Jin replied: "Probably because of the number of exams, it is calmer than before."

Zhu Shan: "..." How many times have you taken the exam?

If he remembers correctly, Li Jin always wins first place in each game. In other words, he only takes the test once in each game. How many times is this called?

Zhu Shan remembered that he had been incapable of winning, so he devoted himself to studying mathematics, but he had another gain.

He decided not to talk about the imperial examination with Kaoba, so he changed the subject bluntly: "After a few days, the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of Etiquette, and the Ministry of War will have a Cuju competition, and the Beijing Academy will also participate. You have good physical strength. Do you want to participate? a bit?"

Li Jin thought that if he is not on duty at the Ministry of Industry, and he is not studying at the Beijing Academy, he will not join in the fun.

However, it is possible to take Fu Lang and the children on a spring outing.Their family came to Beijing in November last year. The weather was cold. Not to mention the buns and the small leopards, even Qin Muwen didn't go 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 began to dress their children.

The little leopard seemed to know that Dad was going to take him out to play, and obediently stretched his arms and put on a thick cotton coat, "Father!"

But there was something wrong with the obedient little bun.

Because Baozi is six years old this year, Qin Muwen came to change his clothes, and Li Jin was waiting in the yard.

After a while, Li Jin actually heard Qin Muwen say: "Bun, obedient."

Li Jin was a little surprised. His steamed buns have always been well-behaved and sensible, and Qin Muwen has never pressed the child with the attitude of an elder. Why is it so serious today?

However, when Fulang disciplined his children, he must not go against the tune, and waited with peace of mind.

After a while, Qin Muwen opened the door with a little bun.

Li Jin's eyes were bright now, because Baozi did not wear the thick padded jacket that Qin Muwen had prepared for him in advance. Instead, he wore a slightly thinner jacket. He wore an indigo-colored cloak with rabbit hair piping on his head. A little tweet, shiny beads hanging from the ribbon.

With bun's slender eyelashes and white cheeks, it is a little doll carved out of pink jade.

Xiao Baozi was four years and eight months old, and he was three feet (more than one meter) tall. Although his hands were very fleshy, his skeleton was small.

Not only is it not bloated, but it also highlights a bit of extravagance.

Qin Muwen held Xiao Baozi's hand with a helpless smile on his lips.

The capital was relatively large, and it took more than an hour to walk through the outskirts. Li Jin hired a carriage in advance, prepared two heaters 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: "Daddy, how long will it take for us to arrive?"

Qin Muwen said it would take more than half an hour.

After that, the little bun couldn't help being tired and rested in Qin Muwen's arms.

Qin Muwen put the cloak on him, and then whispered to Li Jin about the morning.

It turned out that he wanted to dress the little buns warmly. Even if the temperature is warming up, but the wind is strong in the suburbs, he is worried that the children will catch the cold, so he prepared a thick cotton jacket.

Speaking of this, Qin Muwen glanced at the sleeping little bun helplessly, and said, "He knows that he loves beauty now. When I dress him, he keeps saying, "Daddy, wearing a bun like this is too fat." I can only put a jacket on him."

Li Jin thought for a while, and Zhu Shan came to his house for dinner a few days ago. Li Jin has put on singles since the exam, and Zhu Shan still wears a padded jacket.

This is because Xiao Baozi saw the difference between a padded jacket and a single coat, so he said that he would not wear a padded coat.

Li Jin sat upright, and put his other hand on Qin Muwen's shoulder, letting him lean in his arms, and said, "Bun has grown up too."

Before wrapping him up and going out, he smiled very brightly.

Now he only wears a thicker cotton-padded jacket, he is too fat.

Qin Muwen leaned on Li Jin's shoulder and felt very at ease, and the melancholy that little bun had grown up instantly vanished.

The carriage stopped at the foot of the mountain. Li Jin gave the coachman money and picked up the small leopard. Qin Muwen took the little bun and the family climbed up the stairs.

The first section of the uphill road was fairly flat. There were vendors selling ju and kites on both sides of the road. Li Jin bought a kite for Xiao Baozi.

The little leopard looked at the kite in his brother's hand, and his black eyes became watery now, as if he could cry in the next second.

Li Jin hurriedly picked him a jug made of woolen thread, and the little leopard held back his tears and said with a smile, "Father!"

Li Jin: "..." The speed at which Erzai changed his face.

Xiao Baozi didn't taste it because his younger brother had Juju. The last time he saw Li Jin's Cuju Ju, he was still very young and only had a shallow memory in his mind.

Therefore, he obviously prefers the kite in his hand at the moment, he said: "Baozi will fly the kite for my brother."

After walking through the stone steps, you will see a flat open space with a small stream winding through the middle.

Those who came early consciously sat on the edge of the clearing, leaving the middle place for the kite-flying children.

The Cuju venue is opposite the creek, and most of the people sitting there are officials’ wives and families.

Li Jin is tall, tall and straight, with handsome eyebrows. The contours of Qin Muwen's face are softer, and a cinnabar mole on the brows is particularly beautiful.

The little buns around them are so cute that people can't look away.

As soon as the family came here, they attracted the attention of people around. Some even greeted them actively and wanted to move a place to their home.

But the people in Mr. Zhushan's family across the stream also saw them, and sent a young man to invite them over.

Li Jin could only apologize to the person who just invited him, and then went to the Zhushan side.

There is a wooden bridge on the creek, with stones underneath it, and it shook slightly.

Xiaocha declined Xiaosi's help, and boldly jumped over it in twos or twos.

Li Jin carried the mountain leopard, little bun, and Fu Lang one by one.

The little bun salutes Mr. Zhushan's family in a regular manner, but the small leopard has no such worries. His big black eyes are still looking at the wooden bridge, and he seems to want to go up again.

Qin Muwen opened the baggage, laid a cushion on the ground and sat down.

His ears are a bit red, and many people have seen Li Jin's movements when he squatted down, including many girls' eyes.Although he is an old husband and wife, his heartbeat is still very fast.

The little bun sat beside Qin Muwen with the kite, looked at his younger brother in his father's arms, and smiled at him close.

"Call brother, brother will fly a kite for you later."

Little Leopard: "Brother."

Little Bun: "No, it's brother."

"brother."

small bun:"……"

He looked at the Ju in his brother's arms in idle time, and he always felt very familiar.

After a while, the Cuju competition started, the bun deer-like eyes widened, and his mouth opened wide, making a sound of "Ah".

He turned around and grabbed Dad's hand, his little mouth was silent for a while, and he shouted, "Daddy, Cuju!"

He obviously remembered the scene of being held in his arms by Dad and watching Dad on the court.

Li Jin was amused by his small appearance, and said, "Want to see Daddy Cuju?"

The steamed bun grabbed his father tightly: "Can you?"

Li Jin handed the small leopard to Qin Muwen and said, "Daddy, go over and ask."

In addition to the prescribed teams in Cuju competitions, some people will suddenly come and perform various Cuju tricks directly.

As soon as Li Jin came out of the scene, the people from Dushui Qingli Division saw him: "Sir, here we are!"

Li Jin walked over, and the people over there had already begun to enthusiastically invite him: "Mr. is coming to Cuju?"

"This year is not divided by departments, but the captains of the ten winning teams last year were selected, and the lottery is drawn. Come on, sir."

Li Jin was very surprised by this new rule. He didn't want to join a certain department or team before, just didn't want to'stand in the team' too obvious.

Although in the eyes of many people, he is already a member of the Ministry of Engineering.

Li Jin nodded and agreed.

He went to sign up and waited for the captain over there to start the lottery.

There are five people per team, two teams per game, ten people in total.With so many people, it seems that there will be more than a dozen games.

Xiao Baozi took Qin Muwen's hand instead, "Daddy, Daddy Cuju!"

Qin Muwen is also looking forward to seeing a man who has always been prudent and full of fighting spirit go to the game, no one will be more excited than him.

The Li Jin game is the second game, and the teams are divided into red and yellow teams.

He was still on the red team this time, and was assigned a red hair band, robe and boots.

According to court rules, people without official status are not allowed to wear boots, of course, except for performances.

Cuju was considered part of the performance project, and Li Jin also unceremoniously put on black boots with white background.

Li Jin said that he was good at defending and shooting. Although the captain did not know him, he saw it when he was crossing the river with his family on his back.

"You have to work hard in the game, and you will guard the last pass of our team."

"it is good."

According to the division of labor, Li Jin is the finale of their team. This is the second time he wears a red shirt, with handsome eyebrows, broad back and slender and powerful legs. Open your eyes.

There were girls nearby shouting: "Red team! Ah!"

The family members of the General's Mansion who were sitting on a high place over there also heard this 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 when he was too old, and all the female relatives and children from each room were on the trip.

The fifth said: "I know him! Uncle Li!"

As soon as he said this, the female family members also knew that it was the old general's junior brother.

The old lady is full of praise for him.

"It's really a kind of talent."

"Both civil and military."

After they finished speaking, they realized that the fifth child was missing.

"Where is Zifeng?"

"Hurry up and find someone!"

Mo Zixuan was already taking care of a group of younger brothers, and when he heard the words, he went to ask for peace: "Zifeng, go down here and find a little friend to play with, so I will bring him back.

"No need, just send someone to watch don't get lost, let him play."

Mo Zixuan pursed his lips, and said, "Baby go look at him."

A group of female family members: "..." When did their eldest care about their younger brothers so much?
