Two years later, in August, Linyang City, the provincial capital of Mingzhou Province, was full of scholars who had passed the imperial examination. The triennial rural examination had just ended, and all the students were anxiously waiting for the results.
Mu Heng and Qian Ziyue were sitting in the private room of the restaurant, discussing the questions of this exam.
This box is full of scholars from Qingping County who came to take the exam this time, there are more than a dozen of them.
"I guess I'm here to run with you this time. According to Brother Gu's strength, I'm sure I'll receive good news." Qian Ziyue shook the folding fan in his hand. He knows his own level, and according to his strength, he wants to win It's still a bit hot.
Mu Heng smiled slightly: "Brother Qian is too modest, and it is difficult for anyone to be [-]% sure in front of the township examination."
Qian Ziyue nodded: "That's true, but I think Brother Gu, you can definitely do it."
The room was noisy, and the two of them usually had a close relationship, talking in a corner together.
Glancing at the people in the room out of boredom, Qian Ziyue suddenly said mysteriously, "Brother Gu, do you know that Ye Jinxing didn't come to the exam this time?"
Mu Heng wondered: "Did he not come?" Because of his exam, Rong Yang had already bought a house in Linyang City, so they didn't live with other scholars this time, so they didn't know the news.
"Of course." Qian Ziyue showed a meaningful smile on his face: "This Ye Jinxing has been studying hard since the incident three years ago. A large number, did not continue to pursue that matter, so that he escaped, and the fame is still there."
To be honest, Qian Ziyue thought that he could not be so broad-minded. Although Lin and Zhu were responsible for that incident, many students believed that Ye Jinxing was the messenger.But Muheng just came to the door to clarify the matter, but did nothing after that.
"At that time, this matter passed away peacefully. I didn't expect that when it was almost time for the township examination, someone went to the magistrate to file a complaint and found out the matter. The magistrate did not depose Ye Jinxing's fame, but banned him for two years. In other words, Ye Jinxing can only participate in the imperial examination six years later."
Mu Heng pondered, the imperial examination system in this plane seems to be a little different, and the county magistrate can actually ban the examination for scholars.
"The person who complained behind the scenes, why bother to do this, even if Ye Jin can't come to take the imperial examination, it has nothing to do with this person's grades." Mu Heng said.
Qian Ziyue said mysteriously: "That person is the scholar named Wen. He thought he was doing it in a secret way. In fact, many people have connections. He can find out that he sued, but he sued for personal revenge. It was Ye Jinxing who offended him."
After listening to Mu Heng, it took him a long time to think of this scholar with the surname of Wen, and he was surprised that Ye Jinxing had offended this real villain.It's really bad enough to report to others before the imperial examination.
Moreover, this county magistrate is also interesting. Ye Jinxing's family management is at most lax, and it can be punished or not. Under normal circumstances, unless the reputation can be permanently abolished, or ordinary magistrates may only reprimand a few words, because For a young scholar, who knows whether he will pass the Jinshi examination and become an official in the future? The future is the most difficult thing to predict.
After chatting and laughing with Qian Ziyue for a while, today's scene will be over, and tomorrow will be the day when the rankings will be announced. These scholars are probably in a bad mood.
When Mu Heng returned to his house in Linyang City, Rong Yang had just arranged to open a branch here. In the past few years, Rong Yang bought land and planted medicines while opening a medical clinic to sell pills. The business developed smoothly. , Those things that are not going well, with his strength, can be resolved soon.
"I'm back." Rong Yang said after taking a sip of water.
Mu Heng went into the room and changed his clothes, came out and sat next to him, picked up Rong Yang's water glass and drank it in one gulp.
Seeing this, Rong Yang poked him: "Take your own cup."
Mu Heng didn't speak, just stared at Rong Yang, his eyes felt a little aggrieved no matter what.
Rong Yang: Here we go again.
Ever since he became the head of the family in ancient times, how did Mushen's style of painting change a bit? This small trick appeared endlessly, and he couldn't be provoked.
"You scholars gather every day, what can you say?" Rong Yang curled his lips.
Mu Heng said: "Do as the Romans do, don't care what he does, just sit there, if you don't go, you won't fit in."
Rong Yang looked at Mu Heng in surprise, Mu Dashen had such an awareness.
"But I heard a piece of news today." Mu Heng then told Rong Yang what Qian Ziyue said about Ye Jinxing, and Rong Yang was speechless for a while.
It wasn't Ye Jinxing who was speechless, but this Wen Xiucai. He thought he had filed an anonymous complaint, but in the end, everyone knew it was him.
Besides, the ban on the exam was only for six years. According to Ye Jinxing's talent and learning, there was a high probability that he would pass in six years. At that time, Wen Xiucai would have to worry about whether Ye Jinxing would retaliate against him.
However, these things have nothing to do with them.
"The rankings will be released tomorrow. I wonder how our Mu Da poets will rank in the exam?" Rong Yang jokingly smiled. This feeling of waiting for Mu Heng's exam results is a bit like a parent of a student.
Mu Heng said confidently: "As long as Yangyang comes to accompany the exam, I will definitely be the first in the exam."
Rong Yang squinted at him.
Early the next morning, the young man of the Gu family was waiting on the street for the list to be released. After the list came out, the young man fought his way through the crowds, and finally at the top of the list, he saw the name of his young master as he wished. , ran back excitedly.
"Young master, you have won. You are No. 1!" The young man shouted excitedly as soon as he entered the door. Unexpectedly, when he heard his news, his young master and young wife both looked calm. The lady was sorting out the medicinal materials there, and the young master was there to help sort out the medicinal materials. The atmosphere was extremely harmonious.
"Oh, I see." After Mu Heng finished speaking, he gave the boy a reward without any fluctuation on his face.
The young man blankly held the reward, thinking: Look at the young master's state of mind, it really is not comparable to ordinary people.
There was a party before the Zhongjue, and a banquet after the Zhongjue. Before and after Muheng's imperial examination, it was all entertainment. As a freshly released Jieyuan, Muheng naturally became famous.
In addition, the collection of poems he published before has been successfully sold all over the country, and Mu Heng can be regarded as the number one poetic talent of the new generation. After this provincial examination, no one else could see clearly that this young talent is not only proficient in poetry but also , the article is more impeccable.
The Master Xuezheng, who presided over the township examination, was very fond of Mu Heng. If he didn't know that Mu Heng's family had married a wife, he would have recruited Mu Heng as Chenglong Kuai's son-in-law.
After the aftermath of the township examination passed, the two of them didn't stay in the provincial capital for long, and soon returned to Daxing Village. At this time, the messenger who announced the good news had already notified the Gu family of the news of Mu Hengzhong Ju, and the Gu family was overjoyed. .
In addition to the Gu family, Daxing Village and the surrounding villages were also shaken by it, because juren already had the qualifications to select officials, and the poor and talented were rich, and the Gu family in the future would be really different from the past.
Some people are happy and some are sad. Compared with the joy of the Gu family, the Ye family is full of clouds. Recently, Mrs. Zhu seldom goes out and concentrates on taking care of her daughter-in-law at home, because she can't keep her face when she goes out.
Lin Xinhe thought that after giving birth to his son, he would have someone to rely on, but this was a big mistake. Relying on his status as a mother-in-law, Mrs. Zhu directly snatched his son to raise him. He had no room to resist at all, because before Ye Jinxing didn't treat him as well as before, and would never fight against his own mother for him again.
Hearing the news of Mu Heng Zhongju this time, Lin Xinhe was still not at peace, but he was already powerless to deal with any other moths.
After Rong Yang and Mu Heng returned to Gu's house, the family was naturally full of joy. Old man Gu and Mrs. Chen had already prepared a banquet to celebrate, and Rong Yang and Mu Heng did not give up their enthusiasm. Do it, now that Mu Heng is in the middle, Chen can do as he wants.
Just as the family was busy preparing for the banquet, Gu Huicheng, the youngest of the Gu family who hadn't seen him for a long time, suddenly rushed in.
Seeing Gu Huicheng's distraught look, Rong Yang and Mu Heng looked at each other, both with a bad feeling.
They didn't forget that Gu Huicheng's current wife was a post-apocalyptic man who could mess things up.
"Father, fourth child, Mrs. Xu is gone!" Gu Huicheng said surprisingly.
Chen's complexion changed greatly: "What do you mean Xu's disappearance?"
Gu Huicheng took out a letter from his bosom, and said incoherently: "Earlier, Mrs. Xu said he needed to read, and I bought him a pen and ink, but I didn't expect him to leave me a letter, and I couldn't understand it either." , He said this morning that he was going to pick wild vegetables, but he hasn't come back yet."
"Did you encounter something on the mountain?" Chen asked. There were wild beasts in the forest on their side.
Gu Huicheng shook his head: "You don't know, Mr. Xu knows martial arts, the beasts in the mountains can't beat him, and besides, he still left a letter."
Xu Bo knows martial arts?Is it a skill trained in killing zombies in the last days?Although he no longer has supernatural powers, his skills are not comparable to ordinary people.
Mu Heng took the letter from Gu Huicheng's hand, and saw that it read:
"Huicheng, thank you for taking care of me these days, but this small mountain village is not my home, I'm going to venture outside, you don't have to look for me, and you don't have to wait for me, don't read it."
Mu Heng read the content while reading it, and when he finished reading, Gu Huicheng lost his mind, but Chen shi jumped up angrily: "This Xu shi, is he crazy?"
From Chen's point of view, Xu's is crazy. A little brother, he even talked about going outside, what kind of a rush, he doesn't want to live a good life, her own son, she knows, Huicheng is very obedient to Xu's Yes, what is there to be dissatisfied about Mrs. Xu?
"He's a brother, he doesn't have a guide, how can he get out?" Chen said after getting angry for a while.
Gu Huicheng was still very depressed, but when he heard this, he suddenly raised his head and murmured: "It must be that person!"
who?
Under Chen's various questioning, Gu Huicheng finally told the truth. It turned out that Xu Bai had saved a man in the forest before. This man was brought back by Xu Bai in the dark, so the people in the village did not find out. He was seriously injured, but looking at his clothes, he looked very extraordinary. Gu Huicheng didn't know the identity of this person. Xu Bai had always taken care of him. After he recovered from his injury, this person disappeared without a trace.
Chen slapped Gu Huicheng on the forehead: "You are a heartless person, and you don't even realize that you are wearing a cuckold under your nose."
In Chen's view, this is her unruly daughter-in-law who ran away with her because of her wealth.
Gu Huicheng lowered his head and said nothing, not knowing what he was thinking.
Rong Yang and Mu Heng looked at each other, this time traveler is really capable of tossing around, it seems that this ordinary mountain village farming culture has died in the hands of princes and nobles.
Mu Heng and Qian Ziyue were sitting in the private room of the restaurant, discussing the questions of this exam.
This box is full of scholars from Qingping County who came to take the exam this time, there are more than a dozen of them.
