Chapter 335 Qiao Ye is the one who knows how to play
Although the whole family has confidence in Lu Shao's exam.
But when Qiao Ye proposed to send Lu Shao to the examination room, everyone in the Lu family expressed their desire to go as well.
Lu Shao was in a trance for a moment as he looked at the Lu family who were becoming more and more united.
It seems as if the things and people from the previous life have drifted away.
He didn't refuse, but agreed with a smile.
So the next day, the Lu family sent Lu Shao to take the exam in a grand manner.
Many people were stunned. They didn't expect that Lu Shao would come to take the exam with such a big fanfare.
Old Mrs. Lu and the others were being watched by everyone, but instead of feeling embarrassed, they all puffed out their chests with pride.
Their son Wulang will definitely pass the exam this time.
Qiao Ye was thick-skinned, so despite everyone's gazes, he still had a faint smile on his face.
She whispered to Lu Shao and asked, "Old Lu, what do you think now?"
This was also the first time Lu Shao experienced such a thing.
His expression was relatively calm, and he said with a smile, "It's okay."
"I am also the first among the candidates."
Having spent more time with his young wife, he has become accustomed to such situations.
Qiao Ye reached out and patted his shoulder, laughing and joking, "My husband, that must be the first among the candidates."
"Study hard for the exam, and we'll pick you up again after the exam."
The scientific examination was very important, and she wanted to accompany her young husband to participate and complete it.
Companionship is the longest confession of love.
In life, we should have more sense of ritual.
The smile in Lu Shao's eyes became even more intense. If it weren't for the wrong timing and place, he would have wanted to hug his young wife tightly in his arms.
She sent him to take the exam and came to pick him up after the exam, which gave him a very warm and happy feeling.
I hope she can always stay with me like this throughout my life.
He nodded and smiled: "Okay!"
Soon, the runners from the examination room came out and asked the candidates to line up for a body search before entering the room.
Lu Shao carried the basket for the scientific expedition, greeted Qiao Ye and the others, and went to line up.
When the exam was over, Qiao Ye and the Lu family came to pick him up as expected.
The same thing happened with the next few exams.
Then just wait for the results.
As Lu Shao and Qiao Ye expected, when the results were announced, Lu Shao ranked first.
Lu Shao was then qualified to take the examination for the title of Tongsheng.
Next in April, I will go to the provincial capital to take part in the provincial examination. After passing the examination for a student, I will continue with the academy examination for a scholar.
During this time, Qiao Ye made the Five Dragons Playing with a Pearl candle that Xiao Qi wanted.
Let Lu Shao finish carving it in his spare time.
Xiao Qi's people had been waiting there for a long time, and as soon as the carving was completed, they took the brocade box to the capital.
The Emperor’s birthday banquet in March.
The princes and ministers presented birthday gifts one after another.
Even the prince who was originally in Qiongzhou came back.
He was the first to present a birthday gift to the emperor, which was a red coral shaped like the Chinese character for longevity that he got from Qiongzhou.
The other princes also prepared birthday gifts carefully.
Except for the crown prince, the order of presenting birthday gifts is according to the ranking of brothers.
The seventh prince is in the middle rear position.
When it was his turn, he personally walked to the center holding six brocade boxes.
He first delivered birthday wishes to the emperor.
Then he smiled and said, "Father, the birthday gift I present to you today is guaranteed to be the only one of its kind in the world."
He only told his mother and brother about ordering candles from Qiao Ye as a birthday gift for his father.
Qiao Ye did not leak the secret and made the birthday gift behind people's back.
Hearing this, the emperor smiled and said, "Then I will have to take a closer look."
The other princes, ministers and others also looked at the Seventh Prince.
They were obviously curious about what kind of gift he was going to give, and he even boasted that it was the only one in the world.
Xiao Qi asked the eunuch to move a table over.
Then open the six brocade boxes.
First, take out six carefully carved wooden frames from each brocade box.
Then he took out five dragons of different colors and placed them on the table.
The middle of the wooden frame is hollow, and there is just enough space for a golden "dragon ball" to be suspended in the air.
Seeing this, the emperor asked with a smile: "Did you ask someone to carve the Five Dragons Playing with a Pearl?"
"What was this carved from?"
It looks as transparent as jade, but it doesn't look like jade.
Xiao Qi chuckled and said, "Father, this is the candle of Five Dragons Playing with a Pearl."
The emperor and his ministers were all surprised. "Is this a candle?"
It was the first time they had seen candles in different colors and in the shape of dragons.
The Sixth Prince, who had always been at odds with Xiao Qi, said, "Seventh Brother, since it is a candle, can it be lit for illumination?"
Of course he said that on purpose.
What I mean is that this is just a gimmick of using candles, but it only looks good and is not practical.
The purpose of course was to suppress Xiao Qi and prevent him from being the most prominent this time.
The other princes were watching the show, and except for the crown prince, everyone else had similar ideas.
The Seventh Son is the Emperor's favorite son, and they are usually jealous of him.
If we let this guy steal the show at the birthday party again, won't he outshine them again?
Xiao Qi could clearly understand what Lao Liu meant.
He glanced at the Sixth Prince arrogantly and said, "Father is not anxious, why are you anxious?"
"Just look at it. Since I said it's a candle, of course it can be lit for illumination."
I wanted to put some eye drops on him and wait for him to blind the eyes of Lao Liu and the others.
If it were any other prince, he would not speak so bluntly in front of the emperor and ministers.
But if it was Xiao Qi, he would be so unbridled.
The emperor not only did not blame him, but also smiled indulgently and said: "You little bastard, you always like to keep us in suspense."
"Then light it up, and let me and everyone else open their eyes."
These words clearly supported Xiao Qi, so the Sixth Prince did not dare to change his expression, but he felt sour and jealous in his heart.
Except for the crown prince, the other princes also had similar ideas.
At this moment, Xiao Qi really wanted to slap himself in the face.
Xiao Qi looked at the emperor with a smile and said, "If your Majesty wants to see it, I will show it to you."
Then he took out a fire starter from his bosom and lit them one by one.
This time, the fuse is on the dragon's tongue.
Soon everyone was shocked by the next scene.
When the five dragons were lit up, the dragon ball in the middle that was not lit up started to rotate after a while.
Even the emperor was surprised again, "Why is this dragon ball spinning on its own?"
From this perspective, it is a vivid image of five dragons playing with a pearl.
He added: "Hey, I also smell something like ambergris."
Others were also curious as to why the dragon ball could rotate by itself.
And I could also smell the scent of ambergris wafting from the middle.
It's faint, but it's there.
The seventh prince’s birthday gift is really something!
Not to mention others, even Xiao Qi was surprised at this moment.
Although Qiao Ye had emphasized in the letter he wrote to him that after a while after all five dragons were ignited, the beads on the middle shelf would rotate spontaneously.
It is also emphasized that when placing the Five Dragons Playing with a Pearl candle, you must use the wooden stand that is placed in each box.
It is said that some heating principle was used to trigger a small mechanism in the middle wooden frame.
That is, the five dragons are ignited at the same time, and the heat emitted is concentrated in the middle.
This will trigger the wooden frame mechanism, thereby pushing the golden bead stuck in the middle to move.
Although Qiao Ye said it in the letter, he still didn't quite understand.
I was very curious after reading the letter, but because this is a candle, the fuse will be black after it is lit and it will be somewhat obvious.
So he held back until today, and finally saw what the real five dragons playing with a pearl looked like.
I have to sigh, Qiao Ye is the one who knows how to have fun.
Fortunately, he had great faith in her abilities, so he didn't even try and brought her here today to celebrate his father's birthday.
