Just let it go. Zhao Ruxi, her grandmother, and mother happily ate, went back and took a nap, then got up and painted a large painting.

She still owes her homework to the master.

She put down the distracting thoughts in her heart, but the old lady and Mrs. Zhu kept restless and even sent someone to wait at the concierge, lest they wouldn't know in time when the people from the Ministry of Etiquette arrived.

But until it was time for dinner, no one from the Ministry of Etiquette came.

Therefore, Zhao Ruxi still enjoyed the meal as much as at lunch, but the old lady and Mr. Zhu were very thoughtful.

During this time, Zhao Ruxi was busy with the exams, and the old lady and Mrs. Zhu found out all the details that needed to be paid attention to in the palace exams.

Even if Zhao Ruxi doesn't pass the exam, she can always get the Jinshi, right? She will try for the second place. No matter what, she will definitely win the second place.

But at this time, Zhao Ruxi's official Jinshi uniform for attending the Chuanlu Ceremony tomorrow has still not been delivered. Could it be that something went wrong?

Seeing Zhao Ruxi put down the bowl and chopsticks, obviously full, the old lady finally said what she had been holding back for half an hour: "Sister Xi, do you want to go to your master and ask what's going on?

Why hasn’t your Jinshi official uniform been delivered yet?”

Zhao Ruxi was startled, took the wet handkerchief, wiped her mouth and hands, and said with a smile: "Grandma, the matter has come to an end, it is useless to ask, and you still make things difficult for my master. Forget it."

It's not that she didn't murmur in her heart. But she knew that both her master and her senior brother were very concerned about her affairs, let alone Xiao Lingyan.

If Xiao Ge was really angry because of her request for release and removed her from the list of Jinshi, Master and Xiao Lingyan would definitely be very anxious and try their best to make amends. If even they couldn't do anything, then she would send someone to follow her.

Master said, there is no point anymore.

It's better to wait for the news at home like a Buddhist.

Speaking of which, it doesn't matter even if she doesn't get the Jinshi. Although it will disappoint Princess Shangde and Mrs. Cui, and she can't set an example for talented women like Bai Wei, she also tried her best. In addition, she also

Nothing to lose.

She doesn't have to become an official if she wants to leave the capital. Isn't Zhao Yuanxun working in Gusu Mansion? She can just follow her grandmother and mother to live in Gusu Mansion. There will be no pressure then, and she will still have the time and energy to make more money and more.

Come up with some new stuff.

The calamity of death for her and Xiao Lingyan has passed, and Zhao Yuankun, who convicted the Suiping family, is dead; Xiao Lingyan has accumulated a certain amount of strength after two years of business; the Fu family is still there, Xiao Lingpu, and the Cen family's strength cannot be underestimated.

Look, Xiao Lingyan's life is not in great danger.

She doesn't have many obsessions in this world. As long as she, her family, and Xiao Lingyan can live well, that's all.

So if this goal is not achieved, then it is not achieved.

Thinking of this, she comforted the old lady. Zhu said a few words and stood up. Just as she was about to say goodbye and return to the courtyard, Cai Die, who had been waiting at the concierge all afternoon, ran in quickly and gasped: "Old,

Old lady, madam...girl, someone from the Ministry of Etiquette is here."

"Really? That's great. Hurry, hurry up and invite me." The old lady was overjoyed and stood up.

Mr. Zhu was also overjoyed.

Only Zhao Ruxi's face was not only expressionless, but her brows were also deeply furrowed.

She will try for second place. As long as there are no major problems with her article, she should not fall out of the top ten no matter what. And she has been writing articles for such a long time and knows how to avoid taboos. No matter what, she will not fall out of the top ten.

Step into the minefield and write articles that violate taboos.

The official uniforms for Jinshi from the Ministry of Etiquette are given in order of ranking. They are just sending the clothes now. Doesn't it mean that she is the same Jinshi, maybe the last one?

She, Xu Xi, has been the first in the exams since she was a child. Now she is asked to be transferred to the last place in the top three with the second place in the general examination. What does it mean? This is even more disgusting than not admitting her.

"What's wrong?" Mrs. Zhu noticed her daughter's face and asked hurriedly.

"Grandma, mother, you have to be mentally prepared. Maybe I only won the last place in the top three, otherwise there would be no time to give them public uniforms." Zhao Ruxi gave them vaccinations.

The smiles on the old lady's and Mr. Zhu's faces suddenly froze.

The person who came was none other than Mr. Mo, the secretary of the Ministry of Etiquette.

Everyone bowed to each other, and he apologized to Zhao: "I'm really sorry, Zhao Jinshi. The emperor was not satisfied with the Jinshi official uniform we prepared for you, and asked the embroiderer in the palace to redo it, so he sent it as a gift.

It’s too late.”

As he spoke, he motioned to his entourage to open a box and reveal the Jinshi official uniform inside.

There were no female Jinshi scholars in the Jin Dynasty, so Zhao Ruxi took part in the examination and came in second place, which was hard for the Ministry of Etiquette.

The Ministry of Etiquette discussed it for a long time and thought that they should simply give Zhao Ruxi the same clothes as the male Jinshi to show equal treatment. This would avoid making a fancy women's clothes and mixing them in a bunch of uniform clothes, which would always feel weird.

The Minister of Rites also reported this matter to the emperor, and the emperor did not express any objection.

But today, he suddenly sent someone to say that it was not appropriate for Zhao Ruxi to wear men's clothing, and asked the Ministry of Rites to change it into a female Jinshi uniform. The Ministry of Rites had to send out more than a hundred pieces of Jinshi official uniform today, and it was already very busy. This time it was like chaos.

You must know that clothes are not made directly. Just make clothes directly. Just hire a few capable embroiderers and you can make a set of clothes in an hour.

But they not only had to make clothes, they also had to design them, and they also had to design them to satisfy the emperor, which was troublesome.

In addition to clothes, there are also hats. Jinshi must wear a three-branch nine-leaf crown when participating in the Chuanlu Ceremony. Women have buns and generally do not wear crowns. Wouldn’t wearing the same hat as male Jinshi make them disappear from the crowd? This problem is really

A headache.

After several officials from the Ministry of Rites discussed it, they asked someone to draw a picture and sent it to the emperor. They then made modifications according to the emperor's opinions. After going back and forth three times, they finally decided on the style and color of the clothes. Then they asked the embroiderer to do it.

, so I didn’t send the clothes until now.

After hearing Master Mo's explanation, Zhao Ruxi's mood improved. She took the box and thanked Master Mo.

The worries in Mrs. Zhu's and Mrs. Zhu's hearts were gone, and with smiles on their faces they warmly greeted Mr. Mo to sit down and have tea.

If it was a government official who came, they could reward him with a big reward. But as Lord Mo was an official of the imperial court, he couldn't give away money, so he had to ask the kitchen to make snacks for him.

In fact, they wanted to know the ranking of the palace examination. But the final ranking could not be decided until tomorrow's meeting with the Holy Spirit. Even if they asked, Master Mo would only say that he didn't know. The two of them could only give up.
