Jing Xingzhi's ancient daily life

Wu Shuangxi thought of sending out Xingniang, and made things difficult again and again, preventing the child from going to the country test.

But that child was smart, and solved her embarrassment every time, and even got a good reputation among the students who took the exam for being helpful.Wu Shuangxi failed to harm others, but succeeded Jing Xingzhi instead.

Such a result, even Wu Shuangxi would not believe it.But it happened to be true, the blame was Wu Di Nong, who was useless, and Xing Niang was too dull, only knew how to follow the steps, and when she met a really smart person, something would happen.

Because of Jing Xingzhi's intelligence, Wu Shuangxi couldn't help wondering if he could coax him well?

Random excuses are definitely not acceptable, she has to use clever means to persuade the other party.

Wu Shuangxi frowned as she thought about it.

Because if she can't win Jing Xingzhi's heart, besides waiting to fight Jing Xingzhi, she can only take another very dangerous path - secretly carrying Ning Haibo behind her back, and before Ning Haibo returns to the capital, there is no flaw Let "others" completely abolish Jing Xingzhi.

Wu Shuangxi hoped that the child could still look forward to "mother", so that he would not have to pluck the hair on Ning Haibo's tiger's butt.Her prosperity and wealth, without the heart of a "son", are all dependent on Ning Haibo.

Although she has the convenience of being a mother in fighting skills, it is rare that Wu Shuangxi has lost confidence in herself.She knew that Jing Xingzhi was a ruthless person who could ruthlessly deal with his elder brother who grew up together, so she would not have too many scruples about human relations.

"It really looks like my son." Wu Shuangxi murmured.

After thinking about it for a while, Wu Shuangxi and Ning Haibo made the same decision. She also sent people to Hanbei Mansion to send several cartloads of things, all of which were fresh and fun, including a little tiger hat for children. It's very delicate and cute.

Regardless of whether it is useful or not, let's coax it first.

******

Not to mention the reaction of the couple, the things they each gave were still on the way, and the grading of the local examination papers in various places has reached the final step.

In the marking room of Hanbei Mansion, eight men in dark red official uniforms sat in two rows.All eight of them were haggard, with bloodshot eyes, but after drinking countless cups of strong tea, they were in good spirits, but their sleepiness did not ease.

The middle-aged man in the front position on the left said: "The top-ranking articles of each scripture room have been selected, and the top ten have also been selected. Now let's select the top three from the top ten!"

The middle-aged man opened his mouth, and other officials recommended their favorite articles.

Everyone's tastes were not much different, objective and fair, and the middle-aged man who led the recommended article also nodded frequently, only one article had an accident.

The middle-aged man pushed back the article: "Although this article is good, its format is not appropriate. Moreover, this student's thinking is immature, and he has been refuted by several adults in his government in official newspapers, so he should not be listed as the top three. "

The officialdom is all about human relations, and they listen to the praise of a certain student by the inspector. As for those students who are excluded, they naturally know it too.Poor appearance can be banned from the exam, but if the thinking is too bad, then of course it can't be placed too high in the front, so as not to cause trouble in the future.

Just like that, an article whose level could have been ranked in the top two or three positions was moved to the fifth position.

After the rankings were completed, some officials went to tear open the sealed examination papers and match the rankings with the names of the examinees.

"The head of the case, No.1, Jing Xingzhi."

……

"No.4, Wu Mingrui."

"No.5: Zheng Juelun."

"Huh, does this person sound familiar?" A scribe asked curiously.

Another little official beside him glanced at him, and said, "Isn't this Zheng Juelun who claims to be a peerless writer? He only ranks fifth, so how dare he be called peerless? Doesn't the No. [-] Jing Xingzhi want to go to heaven? Make a fuss about the Jade Emperor?!"

"So it turns out that Zheng Juelun, hey! He has a false name!"

The two petty officials exchanged their ears, and quickly finished their work with the other petty officials. They neatly wrote the rankings on the red newspaper, and hung them on the big wall of the tribute courtyard on the auspicious day when the rankings would be announced.

******

Soon it was the day of unveiling the list, and the number of people who surrounded the Gongyuan was more than that of beautiful girls from the landlord's house throwing hydrangea balls to recruit relatives.

Wu Mingrui sat in his yard, nervously circling in circles.

He turned a little dizzy, put his hand on the arm of the book boy Xiaowen, and complained in a low voice: "If I had known, I would have gone back with Xingzhi and his wife, and I will wait here to make people suffer!"

Xiaowen said wittily: "Madam is also in Huanshui, so she is also worried."

Xiaowen thought to himself: Isn't it always suffering people everywhere, how can the little eagle not go through this suffering?

It's not an eagle, it's a bird.

What's more, this place is close to the Gongyuan, so the results of boiling people come out faster, which is a good thing.

Wu Mingrui shook his head, and retorted him: "Mother must be worried that I won't win. It's different, he's probably peeling pine nuts at home and feeding each other with my husband!"

Wu Mingrui thought, how could such an open-minded person like Xingzhi be worried about being missed.What's more, with his friend's ability, ten out of ten he is the top case in this session.

Xiaowen sighed, how could he forget Mr. Jing, he was so busy going home after the exam, he was not at all worried about his ranking and failure, he is also a rare person...

Wu Mingrui was in a hurry at home, and many students were even more anxious, and ran to the vicinity of the Gongyuan, waiting for the red list to come out, and they would know if they were selected or not.

Zheng Juelun was one of these people, and several of his classmates were sitting in the same room with him, saying compliments to him.

Zheng Juelun's "name" was awarded by the government school after examination after test, and it was also recognized by many teachers from the government school.To be honest, his level is definitely not low.

More than half of the students in the government school believed that Zheng Juelun would be the top case.Facing a future case leader, it would not lose face if he flattered him a little.

"The red list is out!" one person shouted excitedly.

As a result, the crowd became agitated, pushing forward like crazy, hoping to see the names on the red list earlier.

On the tall buildings near the Gongyuan, many students who are extremely reserved on weekdays have already stretched their necks, trying to narrow their eyes to focus.

The servants of the government office drew out their swords to frighten away the crowded crowd, and with great difficulty pasted three red posters on the wall.

The first two are posted on both sides of the newly painted white wall, and the last top ten list is posted in the middle.

There are dozens of names on other papers, but there are only ten rankings in the final top ten. The handwriting is much larger, so that the guests who paid a lot of money to pay high positions on the second and third floors near the Gongyuan can vaguely see the names.

Beside Zheng Juelun, there happened to be a student with good eyesight.

"First...Jing Xingzhi."

"Second, what about Li Hua, I can't read the last word clearly."

As soon as the good-eyed student reported two names, Zheng Juelun's face turned black: "What is this Li Hua, where did he come from? What is it again!"

Jing Xingzhi became famous, and Zheng Juelun suffered from him, so he didn't even dare to say anything.But with a newcomer who came out for nothing, could he still be better than himself?Zheng Juelun didn't believe it.

But what about that Li Hua is not sure, there are people in the court, this situation is possible.After Zheng Juelun figured it out, he asked anxiously, "What about the third one?" But me?

"Third..."

"The third should be Xun Bai, his name is easy to recognize."

Xun Bai, Wannian's second child in the government school.

Zheng Juelun is going crazy, as the boss of ten thousand years, how can he still not know the standard of the second child?No matter how well the second child performed, but the ten thousand-year-old boss performed even better!And he can always beat Xun Bai because of his aptitude and comprehension, which is much, much better than Xun Bai's!

It's okay for Li Hua to be second, after all, he is an unfamiliar opponent.But being snatched third by Xun Bai, Zheng Juelun really didn't accept it.

Zheng Juelun stared at the person who squinted and announced the top ten rankings, gritted his teeth and asked, "Where is the fourth?"

"The fourth..." The fourth is not you either.

The man with good eyesight was a little afraid of being beaten, why did he take the initiative to do this?Leaving aside Feiyan, Zheng Juelun still doesn't live up to expectations. He is only in No.5. It's really embarrassing for them to go to school!

Although Huanshui Academy was strong in previous years, it was only tied with their government academy, the official academy, in the competition for the top ten candidates.The top three in each previous session were all in the pockets of their schools, and they often occupied the top ten positions in the top five.As a result, this year, the people from Huanshui Academy took the top spot!What a shame!

However, being stared at by Zheng Juelun, this person was so angry that he could only honestly report his name: "The word written on the fourth position seems to be Wu Mingrui."

Zheng Juelun's nostrils were burning, and he asked angrily, "What about me?"

"No., No., Fifth."

"You're blind!" Zheng Juelun cursed angrily, rushed out of the private room by himself, turned around and went downstairs.

The person who reported the name must have been blind, so he misread the name.He is Zheng Juelun, and his writing is superb, how could he be only fifth!

He must be the case!

Even if... Jing Xingzhi snatched the head of the case, he should be the second!

Zheng Juelun rushed down the teahouse and rushed into the crowd recklessly.

But now, most of the people who were squeezed under the tribute wall were strong and strong servants. Zheng Juelun was squeezed like a cake, and it took him a while to get in front of them.

When he reached the tribute wall, Zheng Juelun wished he hadn't squeezed in.

Zheng Juelun looked at the ranking of the top ten in bewilderment, seeing himself in fifth place with his own eyes...

Fifth, when did he pass the fifth exam?

When he was ten years old, he competed with his 15-year-old seniors to make a fuss?

Or did you compete with those outstanding students who were about to take the exam when they entered the government school?

For the first four, it is absolutely impossible for Xun Bai to be stronger than himself.Then why is he fifth?

As if he was using Li Hua's background as an excuse, Zheng Juelun found a reason for being left behind.

The reason is very clear - he felt sorry for Jing Xingzhi, the disciple of Huanshui Academy Shanzhang, but the other party slapped him in the face, and the officials in the court also repeatedly expressed their dissatisfaction because he defended the "dignity" of Hanbei Mansion , this situation may affect your own ranking.

Zheng Juelun thought that he had excellent literary talents before, so he was not afraid of this, there must be an examiner who would speak up for his essay!So he is not afraid of the darkness in these officialdoms!

He knew even more that the future of Hanbei Mansion would rely on himself as the number one to fight for face outside.If I am the one with the highest level, and I am ranked behind in the township examination, and I get good grades outside in the future, the people in the mansion will not have too much face, and it will appear unfair.

Now that he is abandoned, it only shows one situation... The person in the first position is indeed better than him.

But how talented is Jing Xingzhi?

It is said that he was a scholar in the thirteenth high school, and now three years have passed, even if he is just a little old, he is only seventeen!

He, Zheng Juelun, was already in his twenties, not even as good as a 17-year-old boy.

impossible!

Absolutely impossible!

"Impossible." Zheng Juelun yelled, and staggered towards the outside of the people.

His embarrassed appearance fell into the eyes of the students who had been in the same private room as him in the high-rise building.

"Look at Zheng Juelun, he won't be hit and go crazy, right?"

"The character is really not good. Look at Xun Bai, it doesn't matter if you have been the second child all the time?"

"That's right, just now Xun Bai said that he would treat us to dinner tonight, but this time Xun Bai is still the third!"

The student with good eyesight felt a little sympathetic to Zheng Juelun at this moment, he said: "But this time, Zheng Juelun is fifth, even Xun Bai is ahead of him, Xun Bai has never surpassed him..."

With these words, it sounded like Zheng Juelun was really miserable.

So all the students were quiet for a moment, and then tacitly changed the subject, talking about what kind of wine to order in the restaurant at night.

Zheng Juelun downstairs ran blindly, throwing off the short-legged book boy following him, and bumped into another short-legged boy.

Li Huamin, who was hit, stared wide-eyed and glanced at Zheng Juelun, thinking that this looked really embarrassing, so he didn't say anything about him.

Zheng Juelun was at a loss for a moment, and without apologizing, he continued to walk forward in a daze.

Li Huamin frowned, but he was broad-minded and didn't care about Zheng Juelun's rudeness, instead he happily continued talking to his brother.

"Brother, next time, next time, you will definitely do better than Brother Jing Xingzhi!"

Li Huamin's elder brother, Li Huasui smiled and patted his brother's head.Since sending his younger brother to school, his younger brother has become more and more cute. He thinks the original decision was really good.

Thinking back to the beginning, Li Huasui couldn't help but think of a certain man.

He didn't want to run into his younger brother's strange man in front of him, and when he heard the word "Jing", he turned around and rushed over with red eyes.

Zheng Juelun faced one big and one small, straightened his chest and said indignantly: "What is his Jing Xingzhi, he will definitely not have a name in the test, and I, Zheng Juelun, will be at the top!"

"Zheng Juelun?" Li Huasui read out Zheng Juelun's name.

Zheng Juelun's expression softened a little: "You know me?"

Li Huamin's big eyes looked at Zheng Juelun innocently: "I know, you are No.5!"

Zheng Juelun: ...

Li Huasui saw Zheng Juelun's eyes suddenly changed, and quickly pulled his younger brother behind him to hide him.

Li Huasui hid his younger brother, and said to Zheng Juelun: "Brother Zheng, I've heard of you, so I know you. I don't know anything about you, but I'm still young and innocent, so please don't blame me."

Li Huasui's polite attitude made Zheng Juelun feel a lot more comfortable.He waved his hand to Li Huasui, who cupped his fists to express his apology.

But Li Huasui hesitated for a moment, and the next sentence was: "But brother Zheng, you have to be practical, it's not good to be so ambitious."

Zheng Juelun's mouth was full of blood, and he looked at Li Huasui with disgust, thinking that this person was very annoying.He also looked at the short legs behind Li Huasui, thinking that the two brothers are equally annoying!

Is it a person who can blame me?You don't even know that fifth is not my true level!

Zheng Juelun asked disdainfully: "What are you? Do you have a name or a surname?"

Li Huasui glanced at him, took Li Huamin's hand, and walked forward.

Zheng Juelun watched the two brothers leave, and thought with a sneer: A person with no name and no surname has no face to report his name, right?

Just as this thought flashed across his mind, he heard five words from Chi Chi - "I'm Li Huasui."

Li Huasui looked serious, and after reporting his name, he said, "I'm not as good as Jing Xing. So a word or two of persuading Brother Zheng is really sincere."

These words were clearly in Zheng Juelun's ears, but they were extremely heartbreaking.

Zheng Juelun felt that Li Huasui was despising him, and Li Huasui was saying to him - I am the second child in front of Jing Xingzhi, and I consider myself a chicken, you Zheng Juelun should stop daydreaming, or go to bed early at night, what is in the dream? Both.

Zheng Juelun knew Xun Bai's level, but he didn't know Li Huasui.

He couldn't help feeling a little desperate. Could it be that he didn't even have the second strength?

The strength of the second is not even there, what hope is there for the test?

The two brothers of the Li family held hands and left this place, leaving Zheng Juelun standing there alone, doubting his life.

After walking a while, Li Huasui taught Li Huamin: "Look at that person just now, he is too small-minded, and he looks like a lunatic who failed the exam once. This is not okay. In the world, there are mountains beyond mountains, and there are people beyond people. There will always be people who are stronger than us. , but as long as we continue to become stronger, and our goals and vision are far-reaching, everything is possible. The most important thing is-boys, be broad-minded."

Li Huamin looked at her flat chest and nodded seriously: "Brother, I understand."

Then Li Huamin seriously reviewed himself: "I was wrong, brother."

"Huh?" It was Li Huasui's turn to be confused, "What did you do wrong?" My brother didn't even notice.

Li Huamin looked at Li Huasui, lowered his little head, and said in a muffled voice: "I shouldn't talk big to comfort my brother. This will make your goal too close. Next time, it seems that you won't pass the test of Brother Jing..."

Li Huasui's expression froze, he felt that he suddenly didn't want to be a good brother, can he beat the child?

******

From Huanshui to Hanbei Mansion, it takes a day by boat.

So within a day, the results of the provincial examination were quickly spread to Huanshui Academy.

The students in Zhongju were overjoyed and went to the tavern in the outer courtyard, wishing to drink until the dark.

Whether you get a good score or not is related to the rest of your life, and it is also related to your family's expectations. Whether you can get ahead depends on the exams. Students are under too much pressure.So once the pressure is released, they will inevitably want to vent it out, and only wine can vent their impulse best.

But at this time, Jing Xingzhi, the chief of the case in Hanbei Mansion, was sitting at Fang's house, and after reading the news, he smiled very well.

If it is appropriate, it means that it is not crazy.

There is a sense of accomplishment, but so be it.

Jing Xingzhi held Liu Fang's hand to play with, and gave the paper to Liu Fang to present treasures.

Liu Fang looked at it, and was more satisfied and happy than Jing Xingzhi, as if he was the one who hit the head of the case.

Fang Qichen was also very happy. If he didn't take action to recruit disciples, he would be happy. Once he took action to recruit disciples, he would be amazing. This kind of satisfaction from generation to generation made his heart swell.

But afraid that the little disciple would be too happy and waste the time preparing for the exam, Fang Qichen forcibly suppressed his smile: "This time the exam was good, but we must guard against arrogance and impetuosity, don't be satisfied just because of this small family, and forget about the next meeting." Try and palace test!"

Jing Xingzhi nodded: "Okay."

Fang Qichen looked at the little disciple in joy, but couldn't hide his indifference, and asked in surprise, "Why are you looking at it, aren't you very happy?"

Jing Xingzhi blinked and said, "It's okay, I'm very happy. But I'm the first in the exam, isn't it normal?"

Among those who took the exam, there was no Liu Fang.Think of me, Jing Xingzhi, who used to be the second child of ten thousand years.Now there is no exam for being the first one, so I am the first one.

As for these competitors in ancient times, Zheng Juelun, the most famous one this year, was much more in the spotlight, and Jing Xingzhi had also found out the other party's article to ponder, and he had already understood his opponent thoroughly, so he was very sure that he would win the first place.

I knew it in my heart, and my joy was limited.

Fang Qichen, on the other hand, is a caring and loving father. He thought: among the three great joys in life, the title on the gold list can be ranked at the top. Why does this little disciple look unhappy?

Weird!Weird!There must be something wrong.

So Fang Qichen thought about what happened recently, and pinned the culprit on Ning Haibo and his wife. They must have affected the mood of the little disciple!

How can we make young disciples happy normally?

Fang Qichen was afraid that Jing Xingzhi would be happy, and also afraid that the little disciple would not be happy at all, so he felt uncomfortable.

After thinking about it for a while, the words "returning home in brocade clothes" came to Fang Qichen's mind.

The relatives in my heart are not Ning Haibo's couple. As the saying goes, distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors, and there are many enthusiastic villagers in Jingjia Village by my side.

Fang Qichen raised the corners of his lips and smiled like a land lord. He stroked his beard and suggested, "I remember that there is no Juren Memorial in Jingjia Village. If you win the Juren, you should go home and tell the villagers to give it to your village." You have a long face. You should also go home and tell your elders that they will be happy if they have found out. I think you might as well pack up and go back to your hometown and stay for a few days."

Jing Xingzhi's heart was shocked when he heard it, as if a layer of membrane had been broken in his heart, and layers of joy surged up at this moment.

He finally remembered that besides his own joy, Zhongjuren had other things to be happy about.

He is Jing Xingzhi, and also a young scholar, so he is the pride of the villagers of Jingjia Village, he is the fulfiller of Jing's father's last wish, and he is also the good son that Jing's mother hopes for...

He has never met Jing's father and Jing's mother, but the other party has shown great love to the little scholar. Now that he has achieved something in a small way, he has to tell them no matter what, burn a stick of incense for them, and let them know-the child is promising.

"I'm afraid I'll lose my interest in studying if I stay for too long this time, so I won't be able to stay for a few days, so I won't take you with me." Jing Xingzhi looked at Liu Fang and analyzed with him.

Liu Fang took the exam with him by boat, Jing Xingzhi was afraid that Liu Fang hadn't rested well, so he didn't plan to take Liu Fang with him.

Liu Fang rubbed his stomach, puffed up his cheeks and was not happy, but he nodded in agreement.

Fang Qichen looked at this scene and laughed: "The next time we go back, we will have a baby. They must be happy! I can't blame Xiao Fang for not being able to go back this time."

One of Jing Xing packed up his things and returned home the next day.

On the other side, Wu Mingrui rushed back excitedly to share the good news with his friend, but the friend ran away...

Wu Mingrui was delighted but helpless: "Did you know that he ran so fast when I came back today?"

Liu Fang saw that he was dusty, and guessed that he didn't go home at all, and rushed to the academy as soon as he arrived at the pier.

Liu Fang reminded him: "Brother Mingrui, go and thank the masters, and then go home quickly, Aunt Wu is still waiting for you at home."

"Okay, I won't bother brother-in-law here. I'll invite you to dinner at home when I come back." Wu Mingrui bowed to Liu Fang, then turned to thank the masters of the academy.

After thanking the masters, Wu Mingrui had to go to the Shanzhang's house to thank him, because Jing Xingzhi, the Shanzhang's disciple, always gave him little advice, otherwise he wouldn't have gotten such a result this time.

But when he thought of Shan Chang's family, Wu Mingrui thought of Miss Fang from Shan Chang's family. She probably...couldn't meet her, right?
