Cub Nursery

The last exam of the county examination was over, and the cubs walked out of the gate one by one with baskets on their hands.

Xu Liangzheng's face was rosy, and he looked up at the cubs. He answered the scriptures, poems, and parallel essays very well, and he wrote like a god. He is also sure to jump up, even if he is not at the top, he still has a chance to compete for the top few.

"Everyone, I'm sorry for this one. Whether the result is good or bad, it definitely has nothing to do with you!" Xu Liangzheng was triumphant, and cupped his hands at the other candidates.

The long-haired cub looked at Xu Liangzheng curiously, and said, "It's just a few jokes, but you actually took it seriously..." He wouldn't really like or hate Xu Liangzheng, this person is just like the adults said Jumping beam clown, just let him jump around and have a look.

The person the cub likes the most is an adult. Because of his ability, he never dislikes someone easily. Even if he hates it, he only hates it lightly.

Seeing Yan Xun standing in front of the carriage from a distance, the long-haired cub speeded up and ran over.

"My lord." The cubs all came, surrounding Yan Xun.

"Let's go, let's go eat hot pot." Yan Xun didn't ask the cubs how they feel, anyway, no matter what the result is, as long as the cubs try it, it will be fine.

The baby stood up from Yan Xun's arms, jumped into the arms of Guangming's cub, and said in a small voice, "Daddy and Messi specially went to the beach to fish, and there are big, big sea fish."

As he spoke, the baby opened his arms and gestured up and down.

"Do you want sea fish to cook hot pot?" The bright cub swallowed and asked in a low voice.

The baby nodded heavily, "Father said he would celebrate for you."

Snake-body cubs gathered around, "We are all older brothers, you are younger brother."

"Got it, hello, brothers." Baobao held his cheeks in both hands, and called brothers with a smile.

When the cubs heard this, they quickly raised their heads and chests up, pretending to be older brothers, and took turns holding the babies.When they arrived at the mall, the cubs took out the small bowls and spoons specially designed for babies and placed them on the table.

When the results came out, Yan Xun took the cubs to see the results in person.

On the long case, the position of the head of the case is surprisingly blank.

Further down, there are the short and fat images of ten little cubs in sequence, outlined with a brush, which is extremely vivid.After that, there are names one by one. If the last horizontal bar ends, if the name does not appear, the name will be lost.

The cubs don't have names, but they all look very distinctive, and it's impossible to admit that they are wrong.

Their calligraphy has no style, it can only be regarded as neat, but the papers they write are also pleasing to the eye, and there is no mistake at all.

"Why is there no case?" Someone exclaimed.

"Master?" The little cub also became nervous.

Originally, the cubs came to take the exam, which was the opportunity Yan Xun worked so hard to win. The cubs cherished it very much. Even if they looked relaxed, they were trembling in their hearts. They walked steadily step by step, for fear of accidents. For fear of implicating Yan Xun, for fear of discrediting Yan Xun.

Yan Xun saw that the seat at the head of the desk was empty, he looked at it for a while and suddenly smiled and said: "The examiner is really...interesting."

He said that the cubs cannot be the leader of the case, so the examiner simply did not write the leader of the case.

The meaning of this is very clear, among the top ten cubs, there must be one who is the leader of the case.

"Impossible, this is impossible!" Xu Liangzheng looked up and down, but he couldn't find his name. He felt resentful and couldn't believe the result would be like this.

Those cubs only studied for less than a year, and they were all on the list.

Xu Liangzheng's face was hot, he stared at the cubs' positions, and suddenly said viciously: "Cheating, there must be cheating!!! I want to report to the authorities, this matter is endless."

This is the only possibility, otherwise he wrote such a good paper, how could he not pass the exam!

"My lord, I want to report to the official!" Xu Liangzheng staggered into the door, "You all have seen the paper, my writing is definitely not that bad..."

His voice sounded like a maniac, and everyone who heard it was silent, and they all looked at the blank head of the desk.

Many scholars who didn't pass the exam all became agitated. If there is really a fraud case, then they still have a chance. They either have to retake the exam, or their rankings don't count.

The cubs became nervous and looked at Yan Xun cautiously.

"It's okay." Yan Xun patted the heads of the cubs, and stepped forward to stand in front of them.

At this time, he should stand at the front, because the cubs didn't make any mistakes, and they shouldn't bear the pressure, and Yan Xun felt the emotions of the cubs behind him, and felt that he was invulnerable.

His expression was proud, the randomness between his brows and eyes just now was completely gone, and he became much fiercer, and several scholars who had been looking over intentionally or unintentionally, seemed to have been stabbed by Yan Xun's eyes, and flinched back in desperation.

"This matter must be investigated to get to the bottom of it." Yan Xun said lightly, "Those who went to the long case knew it clearly, and those who didn't go to the long case also figured it out."

His voice was very calm, and all the scholars who were in a commotion calmed down for a while.

With a calm expression, Yan Xun led the cubs forward, slowly showing a smile on his face, and said gently: "Let's go and see if there is anything we can do to help, and cooperate with the investigation."

Seeing Yan Xun so calm, the cubs also calmed down.

The snake-body cub swam forward and asked, "Sir, do you want to call Xiaodan's master?"

Bei Qi is the Minister of Dali Temple, in charge of the world's prisons, and he is a god in judging cases. If he is invited, he will definitely be able to find out quickly.

"Let's see the situation first, maybe we will invite you." The smile on Yan Xun's face disappeared, and his face was serious.

Bao Bao raised his head to look at Yan Xun, and suddenly remembered that even though Bei Qi was still a master in front of outsiders, everyone had to dislike Bei Qi on the surface.

So the baby quickly flattened his mouth, showing a scared and dissatisfied expression.

When others saw it, they really showed a clear look.

When the youngest cub obviously heard about Bei Qi, it showed a frightened expression, obviously it was not a disguise, so the rumors in the market should be true: Yan Xun's son, Xiaodan, had no choice but to become a teacher.

"Check it out, you must check it out!" Xu Liangzheng stared at the cubs with a ferocious face, "I don't believe you can rank among the best after just one year of learning, there must be fraud!"

"Shut up!" Yan Xun suddenly sternly said, "Without evidence, what you say is nothing? You can question everything before it comes to fruition, but please don't slander, otherwise I will punish you." Report to the Yamen!"

Yan Xun knew this person, and had met him before.

Xu Liangzheng and Xu Liangmei are distant relatives, they are about the same age, but they are very different.Xu Liangmei has already married and has children. In addition to studying, she usually goes out to write letters for others, or copy books to earn some money to subsidize the family. However, Xu Liangzheng only spends money on weekdays, and does not make a lot of money. He has to rely on his father Mother feeds.

This person is usually nothing more than grandstanding, but now he directly slanders the cubs, Yan Xun is really angry.

"You..." Xu Liangzheng opened his mouth, but didn't dare to speak again.

The scholars around looked at Yan Xun, then looked at Xu Liangzheng, he had a handsome face, even Bo Nu was very good-looking, but Xu Liangzheng usually looked good, but now he had a ferocious and ugly face unsightly.

Naturally, many people turned to Yan Xun from the bottom of their hearts.

Keenly aware of the changes around them, the cubs puffed up their chests, no longer worried or afraid.

On the same day, Yan Xun took the initiative to discuss with the marking officer and called Bei Qi.

"Find out the test baskets that everyone has used these days and the contents inside, and take a closer look to see if there is any cheating." Yan Xun said lightly, "It's not difficult."

Fortunately, the current methods are not so powerful, and there are only those ways to cheat. If you look slowly, you can always find them.

"It's easy for you to say, everyone brought those things back long ago, and all the things that should be hidden have been hidden. Not to mention some food, they have already finished eating!" Xu Liangzheng said, poking his neck.

Yan Xun smiled calmly, but did not speak.

Bei Qi glanced at Yan Xun, pursed his lips, he is now the baby's teacher, but because he did not get along with Yan Xun on the surface, it is not easy to ask Yan Xun for help.

When everyone was resting, Bei Qi had the opportunity to pick up the baby who had sneaked out, and took the baby to find something.

For the baby, as long as he wants to find it, no matter where the scholars hide, he can find it.

Bei Qi's kung fu is extremely high, and he is also elusive, sometimes appearing and disappearing without anyone noticing at all.

Seeing that Yan Xun was still indifferent, Xu Liangzheng sneered and said, "Master Yan has always been very skillful, I don't know if he was afraid, why didn't he react?"

The ones who need to be checked are the cubs, Yan Xun didn't take part in the county test, he shouldn't be here in the first place.

It's just that the cubs have special identities, Yan Xun is the young minister of Honglu Temple, so it is reasonable to be here at this time.

"We brought everything we used." The black and white cub came in with the test basket, took out the contents again, and placed them on the table.

Pen, ink, paper and inkstone are all treasures.

Xuan pens, rice paper, the best ink sticks, and the inkstone is a whole piece of emerald jade, with a little fisherman carved on the side, as if the little man is fishing in the ink, which is very artistic.

Alcohol lamps, small iron plates, and leftover food, pancakes and sliced ​​meat.

Everyone gathered around and looked over and over, feeling envious of the things of these cubs in their hearts, but they didn't see anything else anyway.

Xu Liangzheng stretched his neck and leaned over, pointed to the pocket watch and said, "There must be a mechanism inside that thing."

"Okay, then you should open your eyes and have a look." Yan Xun said, "Take apart all the pocket watches. Don't worry, we will make new ones later."

The cubs pursed their lips and took out their pocket watches.

There was no seam marks on the outside, so Yan Xun took a small hacksaw and bit by bit the back case of the pocket watch.

Everyone is actually very curious. The pocket watch looks small, but the pointer inside can turn, and it is much more accurate than the usual estimated time. Everyone is curious about what is the secret inside.

Yan Xun slowly took apart the pocket watch, revealing the small gears inside.

"Give everyone the magnifying glass." Yan Xun said.

The cubs hurriedly distributed the magnifying glass to everyone present.

Through the magnifying glass, you can see the small gears inside, and you can even see the gears rotating gently under the drive of the chain.No wonder the pointer under the glass can be rotated slowly, this design is really ingenious.

Everyone was fascinated by it.

"Is there any writing on it?" Yan Xun sneered, "Do you see anything?"

Naturally, there were no other words, and the cubs did not take apart the watch during the exam.

Xu Liangzheng's face was ugly, and he stared at it for a while in disbelief, but still found nothing. He put the magnifying glass heavily on the table, and muttered: "These are all monsters, there must be shady methods."

"Monsters are not the original sin. If you say this, won't the wind flash your tongue?" Yan Xun didn't care, calling the cubs to come to him.

Jing Fengye stood silently behind Yan Xun, her eyes were fixed on Xu Liangzheng.

It's a pity that he follows Yan Xun every day, rarely talks to others on weekdays, doesn't even look at others, never communicates with others, just likes to stare at Yan Xun, and is inseparable from Yan Xun.

He is so tall and handsome, but he hides at the back like Yan Xun's shadow all day long.

Jing Fengye is still an adult monster, so few people know him. They only know that when they see Yan Xun, they basically see Jing Fengye, and this adult monster treats Yan Xun very well.

So many people are afraid of Yan Xun, but not Jing Fengye.

At this time, he kept staring at Xu Liangzheng, Xu Liangzheng didn't dare to look at Yan Xun, but stared fiercely at Feng Ye.

After a while, when everyone else in the room walked away, Jing Fengye leaned into Yan Xun's ear and whispered, "My lord, he just glared at me."

"I see." Yan Xun smiled, "Why don't you stare back?"

"I've been staring at him." Jing Fengye was even more aggrieved, "He doesn't seem to be afraid of me."

"Of course he's not afraid." Yan Xun laughed, "Maybe he thought you were just a monster who didn't understand anything and depended on me for support."

However, in fact, only a few people know that Jing Fengye's knowledge is the best, and he has discussed knowledge with Zhou Guang, and he cares about Yan Xun very much. As long as it is taught by Yan Xun, even if it is a sentence, He can remember clearly.

He is a person who has Yan Xun in his heart and eyes.

"If you're not afraid, don't be afraid. When things come to light, he will cry." Yan Xun said calmly.

Jing Fengye was still aggrieved, awkwardly nudged Yan Xun from behind, and whispered: "Then kiss me, my lord."

"..." Yan Xun suddenly didn't know what expression to put on, none of the cubs wanted to kiss, and there were quite a few people glaring at the cubs, that Xu Liangzheng glared at the cubs even more hatefully.

The cubs all raised their heads and chests at this moment, and none of them ran over to look for Yan Xun.

Seeing Jing Fengye's begging face, Yan Xun still hooked his fingers at him, leaned over and quickly kissed him on the cheek.

"Sweet." Jing Fengye quickly kissed Yan Xun's lips and whispered.

Yan Xun glared at Jing Fengye, watching the cubs put away their pocket watches, then cleared his throat, stood up, and said with a panicked expression: "Where is the little egg?"

The snake-bodied cub glanced at Yan Xun quietly, and turned to the actor's upper body, and said in panic, "Your brother was still by my side just now, why is he gone?"

"Where's my brother?"

"My brother is gone."

The little cubs all showed scared and guilty expressions, and they walked around looking for the baby.

At this moment, Xu Liangzheng showed a triumphant expression again. He saw the smallest cub run out with his own eyes, and the Peking University scooped it up and took it away with him, but he would never tell these people.

Fortunately, not long after, the baby came back.

"Brother!" The snake-bodied cub hurriedly swam over, curled up the baby with the tip of its tail, and said worriedly, "Brother, where have you been? No matter how hard we search, we can't find you."

"It's so scary." The baby patted his small chest pretendingly, and looked at Bei Qi with anger but not words.

Bei Qi didn't look this way at all, but took out a bag and put it on the table.

When everyone looked over, Bei Qi said, "The result is out."

"What is it?" Xu Liangzheng strode over without hesitation, looking at Bei Qi expectantly.

Bei Qi glanced across everyone calmly, and said indifferently: "There are indeed people cheating."

As soon as Xu Liangzheng's eyes lit up, his face turned red immediately, and his whole body became extremely energetic. He knew that what he was thinking must be right, and it was absolutely impossible for him to lose his reputation at such a level.

Sure enough, someone was cheating, and he was the one who discovered the cheating. This is a great achievement. At this time, he must show a lot of performance. If he can catch the eyes of some adults, he will surely be able to rise to the top in the future!

He looked at Bei Qi nervously and expectantly, waiting for him to speak.

Yan Xun stepped forward, cupped his hands at Bei Qi, and said, "I don't know if Peking University has found evidence?"

"Everything on the table is evidence." Bei Qi said coldly, "Everyone should take a closer look at these inkstones and paperweights, there are many articles in them."

"Use a magnifying glass." Seeing Xu Liangzheng leaning over to look at the inkstone, Bei Qi said again.

Soon the magnifying glasses were taken out one by one, and they were in the hands of everyone.

None of the inkstones on the table were in good condition, all of them were broken into several pieces, some of them were so broken that they were a small pile of gravel, all of which were covered with mud, and some even gave off a bad smell.

As soon as Bei Qi waved his hand, a subordinate ran forward, took a magnifying glass, cleaned these small stones, and began to piece them together bit by bit.

In the end, when it was put together, it turned out to be an extremely complete inkstone, not a single stone was missing.

"This... this..." The person holding the magnifying glass was shocked.

"Let me see!" Xu Liangzheng also moved over with a magnifying glass, and when he saw it for the first time, he was shocked.

On the inkstone, there are small characters that cannot be seen with the naked eye, but can only be seen with a magnifying glass. Each word is extremely neat, and they are all articles, and various Four Books and Five Classics, covering almost all the content of the exam.

"Back then Souzi also had a magnifying glass..." Someone said this.

All the people present were silent and did not dare to speak.

On the contrary, Yan Xun said calmly: "It's a pity that even if it was cheating, I failed to pass the exam. I'm afraid the person who revealed the test questions did it on purpose..."

A prophecy.

The truth of the matter came to light, Yan Xun said there was nothing wrong with it, the candidates who participated in the fraud were all named Sun Shan, and the officials who revealed the test questions had no choice but to avoid revealing the test questions because their family members were threatened.

"This person has some conscience." Yan Xun commented with a smile.

Bei Qi said, "Reason can tolerate it, but the law can't. He still has to be dismissed and investigated."

"Of course, this is the rule." Yan Xun had nothing to say.

Investigate the case on the same day and get the results on the same day.

Those inkstones were hidden extremely secretly, but Bei Qi found them all without any effort, and the case came to light that day.

The cubs are all at their own real level, and the examiner also took out the answer sheets of the cubs and hung them at the gate of the yamen for all the examinees to watch.

No mistakes could be found in the examination paper, and the brush calligraphy was lacking in style, and it was only because the practice time was short, it could be regarded as a small flaw at best.

As for Xu Liangzheng...

Whether it's cheating or a long case, it has nothing to do with him.

He blushed and drank alcohol every day at home, still refusing to believe that he had lost his name.

"If I knew today, why bother." Someone saw it and couldn't help but sigh.

No matter who is involved in this fraud case, they all handled it very skillfully. Only Xu Liangzheng, who has no skills, is very capable of provoking troubles. He should have made meritorious service, but the examiner got tired of it. I know if it can be done.

During the construction of the nursery hall, Yan Xun baked a very big cake and distributed it to the cubs.

"Brothers are so amazing." The baby stood on the seat with one hand on his hip, and said loudly, drooling at the cake.

This kind of soft and sweet food, the baby likes to eat it from the moment the shell breaks.

The cubs also stared at the big cake, "It's finally over."

"Okay, then let's divide up now." Yan Xun smiled.

For the little cubs, the county test is really ordinary, not as good as Yan Xun's test papers on weekdays.But those who cared about the capital were startled, and began to ponder in their hearts.

No matter how clever those little cubs are, no matter how good their photographic memory is, it will not be easy to learn those knowledge in less than a year!

Human children are not child prodigies without a photographic memory, but even if they are, they have to learn for several years before they dare to give it a try.

In fact, there is another problem that everyone ignores: Most of the knowledge of the cubs was taught by Yan Xun himself.

Back then, Honglu Temple couldn't open the gate casually, and there were too few opening hours a day. Yan Xun led the cubs to study at the gate of Honglu Temple, and the children from nearby followed.

In fact, many people were secretly paying attention to this matter, but no one cared about it at the time. Now when I think about it carefully, I suddenly have a new discovery.

"What pinyin... and songs... After the children sing along, they will be able to recognize many words."

"Go, call one of the children who listened to Master Yan's lecture in front of the gate of Honglu Temple, and I will ask you carefully."

Little You'er is good at calculating accounts, and others may think he is talented, but now that the cubs have passed the county test and are among the best, many people can't calm down.

Soon, a child was found and brought to meet the head of the family.

"What knowledge do you know?" The middle-aged man stood majestically, looking down at the child in front of him.

The little beggar who was the same as little You'er at the beginning is now dressed extremely neatly, even in front of the patriarch of the aristocratic family, he is neither humble nor overbearing, and has good etiquette.

"Literacy is more than 300, and the calculation is not as good as that of little You'er, but it is only a little bit worse." Xiao Chuaner counted on his fingers, "Adults also taught us that at the beginning of human beings, nature is kind... What are the clouds in the sky? Why is it raining. I plan to take part in the county test next year, and the adults said that they will teach me how to take the exam..."

Talking about Yan Xun, Xiao Chuan'er started talking non-stop, the Patriarch opposite was confused at first, then looked dignified, and finally looked at Xiao Chuan'er solemnly.
