Take the imperial examinations with the red envelopes of the writers

Zhang Xinsi trembled with excitement when he saw the title.

It's really that question!

It's the question on Chengxintang's paper!

What kind of god luck is he!

If you go to the back kitchen to have a meal, you can pick up the exam questions for the college exam.

The college test focuses on the four books and the first question.His first title this time is stable, and his reputation as a scholar is also stable!

Zhang Xinsi was hit by the sudden surprise, his whole head was dizzy, and a smirk appeared on his face.He couldn't help but imagine how respected he would be when he returned to the village after passing the examination as a scholar. Those people who looked down on him before, now he was beyond their reach.

In the past three days, Zhang Xinsi was still in a good mood even though he ate choking coarse grain pancakes, listened to the thunderous snoring of the candidates next door when he slept at night, and smelled the unspeakable sour smell in the air. With a secret look.

As soon as he left the gate of the Gongyuan, amidst the noise, he yelled a few times at the top of his throat, expressing his joy.

Zhang Xinsi returned to the Liufu Inn with a haughty look on his face. The candidate surnamed Li who shared the same room had already returned with a gloomy face, thinking that he did not do well in the exam and was in a bad mood.Seeing Zhang Xinsi's radiant expression, he immediately sneered, "It seems that Brother Zhang is quite sure about this exam. Looking at it like this, I thought it was a release."

Zhang Xinsi was in a good mood at this moment. He just felt that he was very talented, and he seemed to forget that it was because he got the exam questions in advance that he did well.

"You are right. When the list is released, my name will definitely be there." Zhang Xinsi said arrogantly.

"Oh? It seems that the brothel gave Brother Zhang a lot of inspiration." The candidate surnamed Li sneered. He thought that Zhang Xin went to the brothel to have fun in the brothel for the few days before he thought about it, and he looked down on him.

When the candidate surnamed Li first moved in, he discussed knowledge with Zhang Xinsi, and found that he was just a man with little ink in his stomach, who pretended to understand and was used to putting on airs, so he alienated him.Zhang Xinsi felt that the candidate surnamed Li considered himself very high just because he had read more books than others, and the two were at odds.

"Oh, yes. I have to thank Miss Ruyi in Yanchun Tower now." Zhang Xinsi snorted coldly, took out the silver he had saved before, and was going to really go to Yanchun Tower to have fun.Originally, he was reluctant to spend it, after all, he didn't know how many times he had to take the exam to pass the exam.But now that he is [-]% sure, his mind is alive. He has heard people talk about Yanchun Tower many times before, and it is time to learn more. In the future, he will be a scholar.

"Have the arrangements for the Jiangling Mansion Examinations been made?" A lazy and dignified voice sounded in the quiet bedroom, making it even more ethereal and charming.Just listening to this voice is so indistinguishable that it makes one's heart itch. I just want to meet a beauty with such an alluring voice.

"It has been done according to your Highness's instructions. As expected, there are two questions in the test questions of the Jiangling Mansion Court this time, which were spread by us." A respectful voice replied, and the staff paused and continued: "It's already done." I have ordered people to wait for the examination results to be released, and then I will take the blood letter to the Jiangling government office to sue this imperial examination fraud case."

"Very good." The beauty chuckled a few times, and the laughter hit the hearts of the listeners bit by bit.

Hearing the laughter of the Third Highness in front of him, the staff member couldn't help but secretly looked up at him.

Lying on the beauty's couch was a man with a beautiful face and a beautiful appearance. His long black and smooth hair was loose like silk, and a few strands of black hair were randomly curled up with a slender hand. The contrast between black and white made his icy skin even more beautiful. The bones and skin are like curdled fat.

Although it seems a bit strange to say that a man has a beautiful face, but anyone who sees the man in front of him will suddenly realize that there are men with such a beautiful face in the world.

Especially this person is in a good mood at this time, with a smile on his face, really beautiful eyes looking forward to, and a clever smile.

His Highness the Third Highness is so beautiful as a man, no wonder his mother Sun Guifei's favor is not fading.

It's no wonder that His Royal Highness, who has always been the most picky, likes to cling to the Third Highness since he was a child, and no matter how impatient the Third Highness is, he insists on getting close to their Highness.

He was thinking at that time, is His Royal Highness so busy with homework?Is it really okay for the prince of a country to be so idle?He was really worried about the future of the Davidic dynasty.

It wasn't until His Highness the Crown Prince was thrown into the northern army by the Holy Master to exercise that His Highness the Third Highness's side was cleared up.

However, when the staff recalled what His Royal Highness did after he came back, a constipated look appeared on his face.

Who would have thought that His Highness the Crown Prince would act like a stupefied youth when he came back, praising him for his beauty in front of their Highnesses!

Everyone in the palace knows that His Highness the Third Highness hates people saying that he looks like a woman!

Although the description "one part more is too long, one part less is too short; powder is too white, red is too red; eyebrows are like emerald feathers, muscles are like white snow; waist is like a beam, and teeth are like shellfish." Appropriate, but recalling the ashen complexion of the Third Highness at that time, the staff still have lingering fears. It was the first time he saw the Third Highness lose such a temper, half of the porcelain in the whole bedroom was smashed.

Since then, His Highness the Third Highness has liked to make things difficult for His Highness the Crown Prince. The Holy Majesty and the Imperial Concubine just watched happily, thinking that this was just a frolic between brothers.Thinking of this, the staff suddenly felt that there was nothing to say.

The third prince didn't know that his subordinates were thinking all kinds of things, and his pretty face was full of complacency.

"Hmph, Cui Hanlin can also be regarded as the prince's teacher. This Jiangling mansion imperial examination fraud case will definitely make him lose his black hat. Abolishing Cui Hanlin will also cut off one of the prince's future support."

"Your Highness is still wise." The staff flattered him very dog-leggedly.

"Not only that, but it's a blow to the Lu family. Even in their territory, it's not the same as accidents." The third prince curled his lips in a good mood.

"But Your Highness...isn't Mr. Lu a royal party?"

"Heh. Mr. Lu is an imperial party member, but Lu Xianzhi may not be sure. When he was in the study, he had a good relationship with the prince." When the third prince's petal-like lips uttered the word "Prince", he gritted his teeth, His beautiful face contorted for a moment, and then stretched out again. He thought to himself, let me see how you end up this time.

***

The Jiangling government office is still brightly lit at night.

Cui Xuezheng and his staff who are proficient in literature and ink, as well as the instructors of the Jiangling government school, have been working overtime for several days in order to review the examination papers of the academy.

The test papers of the college examination are vague, which is to ensure the fairness of the test as much as possible.After the officials of the Tribute Court collected the test papers, they had to hand them over to the official Mifeng. The official Mifeng folded all the personal information on the test paper, such as the name and place of origin of the candidates, and then covered it with blank paper. This procedure is as follows: It's called a vague name.

In the end, the test papers sent to the examiners cannot tell which test paper belongs to which candidate. This is to prevent candidates from colluding with the test examiners in advance.

More than 1000 test papers were reviewed by more than a dozen people from morning to night, in groups of three, and at least two examiners circled each test paper to show that it was up to standard.A paper with three circles is excellent.

Everyone worked together to select more than 100 test papers, and each examiner went through them one by one, and finally screened 55 test papers to be admitted.

After confirming the recording papers, Cui Xuezheng will lead the ranking.

The following rankings are easy to rank, and the marking officials don't care much.

However, when evaluating the top three, everyone was somewhat controversial.

"This article is novel in its topic, unique in its insights, and brilliant in writing. It is quite smooth and smooth to read through. It should be rated first!" Sun Jiaoyu from Jiangling Prefecture School was the first to speak.Sun Jiaoyu won the examination 20 years ago, but because he had no intention of fame, he stayed in the school to teach and educate people, and he was quite prestigious in the school.

"A gentleman is not the case. His knowledge is enough to distinguish right from wrong in the world. He is as burning as black and white and cannot be chaotic. His strength is enough to overcome the turbulent waves. He is as unshakable as a pillar." Sun Jiaoyu read the test paper shaking his head. The clever sentence in the book has a look of being intoxicated by its literary talent.

Someone next to him nodded in agreement: "This article is wonderful!"

"Of course. This one is not bad. The writing is sophisticated, easy to understand, and has a long meaning. Candidates must have a lot of experience to make such an answer sheet. This paper can also be ranked first." Someone clicked on another test paper and commented. .

Everyone was arguing, talking and refusing to give in to each other.

"What do you think of Cui Xuezheng?" Finally, everyone looked at the examiner Cui Xuezheng.

"The six questions in this paper have the same style. Sitting on a jade plate and sitting on a horse, and Wenxia Ruyi, he must be a very talented young man." Cui Xuezheng stroked his long beard and commented on the first test paper.

"The four books and five classics in this volume are very well done, with extensive quotations, simple explanations, and evocative, but the test post poems and policy questions are a bit cautious, not as good as the previous one."

Cui Xuezheng pointed to the first test paper while stroking his long beard, and he made the final decision: "This paper should be the first one in this field."

The clerk carefully transcribed the list that will be released tomorrow, and after showing it to Cui Xuezheng, he carefully put it away and prepared to paste it outside the government office tomorrow.

***

At this time the night was dark, Cui Xuezheng was just about to go to bed when the housekeeper came to report that someone from the Lu family of Jiangling Mansion had arrived.

"The Lu family?" Cui Xuezheng was puzzled.

Although he has admired Mr. Lu's name for a long time, he has not had much contact with Mr. Lu in the court.What's more, Mr. Lu had already resigned from office many times before he entered the Hanlin Academy 12 years ago, and he was reluctant to retain him, so he only took a vain position and was not really in charge.

As for the younger generations of the Lu family who are in the sixth department, he has not had much interaction with them in the Hanlin Academy all day long.

However, Cui Xuezheng heard that Mr. Lu had a talented eldest grandson, Lu Xianzhi, who was praised by the saints for his extraordinary talent, and was also a disciple of Mr. Anhe, a great Confucian in the world.He himself is eager to love talents, but he has always wanted to meet this talented boy and see if he is worthy of his name.

But why did the Lu family send people here at night?Cui Xuezheng pondered in his heart, feeling inexplicably uneasy.He hurriedly put on his clothes and followed the butler to the reception hall.

Sitting in the front hall was a middle-aged man with a thin stature and neat clothes. From his appearance, he was very smart and capable.

Seeing Cui Xuezheng, the man stood up neatly, bowed his hands and saluted him, and said: "Please forgive me, Mr. Xuezheng, for coming uninvited at night. It is really important and cannot be delayed. My young master specially sent me here." Explain the situation."

Cui Xuezheng returned the salute with a puzzled expression on his face, "But what's the matter?"

The middle-aged man looked around at the maidservants waiting in the front hall, and looked directly at Cui Xuezheng: "I would like to ask Mr. Xuezheng to speak for a while."

Cui Xuezheng was puzzled, but he saw that the man in front of him didn't seem to be joking, so he backed away.

At this time, the middle-aged man took out a stack of Chengxintang papers, handed it to Cui Xuezheng, and motioned him to take a closer look.

Cui Xuezheng took the paper with a shocked expression on his face, and murmured: "This, aren't these the manuscripts I ordered Cui Lin to burn? Why are they here with you?" After he finished speaking, he flipped through them quickly. It was indeed his own handwriting.

He clearly remembered that these papers were used when he was screening the examination questions of the college, and many of his favorite questions were written on them.

These manuscript papers were leaked out!

Cui Xuezheng immediately realized that something was wrong. Someone must have made a fuss about it. I don’t know when these Chengxintang papers were leaked. If they were spread before the examination, wouldn’t this examination be... Cui Xuezheng Thinking of this, my heart sank, and my face became solemn.

Seeing that he was aware of the seriousness of the problem, the middle-aged man explained: "These Chengxintang papers were recently searched by my young master. I don't know if Mr. Xuezheng knows, but there have been various rumors recently that the court Try to leak the questions in advance, someone is cheating. The young master's intuition is wrong, he thinks that someone is deliberately spreading rumors, so he sent people to investigate the source of these rumors, but he did not expect to find out these things. "

"Your young master is that Lu Jue, Lu Xianzhi?" Cui Xuezheng asked involuntarily.

"Exactly." The middle-aged man nodded.

Cui Xuezheng never expected that the first encounter with Lu Xianzhi was because of the imperial examination fraud case, and he was filled with emotion.

Then he solemnly bowed to the middle-aged man and said: "Please thank your young master for me! I will come to visit in person after I finish handling this matter."

"Don't panic, Xuezheng. The reason why the young master asked me to come to visit you tonight is because he thinks that this matter will have a turning point before the exam results are released." The middle-aged man smiled and comforted: "The young master said, The other party clearly designed the leaking of the imperial examination questions, but has not taken any action so far, presumably they want to find someone to go to the Jiangling government office to complain about injustice after the results are released."

Cui Xuezheng is also a smart person, he understood something when he heard this, and looked eagerly at the person in front of him.

The middle-aged man continued: "The young master thinks that if Master Xuezheng can make a decisive decision, follow the example of the county and government examinations in previous years, and add a test or two before the rankings are released, and re-select the admitted students, you can catch the opponent by surprise. The previous That exam is just the 'first pass' of the college exam."

Cui Xuezheng also thought of this method for a moment, and he was hesitating at this moment. After all, once the college exam is reorganized, to some extent it is equivalent to directly admitting the rumors that the college exam leaked questions, and it will inevitably provoke abuse from the candidates.But if the list is released directly, it is falling into the other party's trap and can only follow the other party's rhythm. It is not known who will sue the government at that time. Reorganizing the hospital examination can at least take the initiative.

The middle-aged man looked at Cui Xuezheng as hesitant, and thought in his heart that the young master really had a clever plan. He continued to repeat Lu Xianzhi's words to Cui Xuezheng: "The matter of selecting scholars through the imperial examination is of great importance. If it is not dealt with properly, the scholars will be outraged and spread the word everywhere, and I think Xuezheng adults don’t want to see such consequences.”

"This matter can only be suppressed for a while, and sooner or later the Holy Majesty will know. The young master suggests that you write a letter to the Holy Majesty in person as soon as possible, carefully consider the words and sentences, and declare that you have made a mistake in your duties, so please dismiss yourself. You are the number one scholar appointed by the Holy Majesty at the beginning, and you are famous far and wide. I have been with the Holy One for many years, and the Holy One also knows that you act openly and openly, and that this case must have been framed by others. If you ask to be dismissed, the Holy One will feel very sorry. At most, you will be raised in the countryside for a few years, and then you will find opportunities Get you back up."

After the middle-aged man finished speaking, he set aside time for Cui Xuezheng to think for himself.

He picked up the green tea that had been brewed by the servant girl before. In the teacup, which was as white as jade, pieces of tender tea were dark green in color, and there were bursts of fragrance.He sipped his tea and waited patiently.

After a while, the middle-aged man heard Cui Xuezheng's faint sigh, "I am not as far-sighted as a young man."

Cui Xuezheng finally sighed: "It was originally scheduled to release the results tomorrow. Tonight I will re-select [-] of those test papers, and then conduct a 'Recruitment' and a 're-review'. The 'Recruitment' season requires candidates to do it again. One article, one by one during the 're-recovery', to ensure that the final admitted students have real talents and practical learning, and not let those who are trying to gain any chance." In his voice, there was a kind of determination to burn the boat. "Tomorrow, I will apply to beg for an official position!"

"My lord is righteous." The middle-aged man put down his teacup as early as Cui Xuezheng started to speak, and he saluted Cui Xuezheng respectfully after hearing this.

Then he said: "The young master found out that this matter was planned in advance by someone, most of whom were your attendants. These manuscripts were circulated from the gambling workshop in the west of Yangzhou City. As for how these Chengxintang papers were revealed If you go out, you still need to carefully interrogate the people around you."

Cui Xuezheng hastily summoned the butler and asked him to call Cui Lin to the front hall. Cui Lin was his personal attendant brought to Yangzhou from the capital.

Originally, Cui Mu was always serving by his side, but before coming to Yangzhou, Cui Mu contracted a cold by accident, so he let Cui Mu stay in the capital, and transferred Cui Lin, who was serving outside, to go to Yangzhou with him. Cui Lin's household registration is A native of Yangzhou, Jiangling Prefecture, it is convenient to take him along.

Cui Xuezheng was a little skeptical, maybe it was not an accident that Cui Mu contracted the wind and cold, and the person who framed him started to design it since then.

It's just that Cui Lin was the last one to attack, which made him feel angry and helpless involuntarily.

He has always been fair in dealing with affairs, strict with self-discipline, and lenient to others. He is always gentle and courteous to his servants, and rarely harsh, but he never thought of any servant betraying him.

Cui Xuezheng felt that he had never done anything wrong to Cui Lin, and what Cui Lin did was no less than stabbing him in the back.

Cui Lin was sleeping in a daze at night, when he was called up by the housekeeper, he was still confused when he walked to the front hall, not knowing what happened.

Cui Lin looked at only Cui Xuezheng and a strange middle-aged man in the front hall, and he could feel the strange man's sharp eyes on him.He bowed to the two of them and asked, "What do you want to order, my lord?"

Cui Xuezheng looked at his young face with an ignorant look on his face, he couldn't help but sighed, he also wanted to know what was going on.

Cui Xuezheng pointed to the stack of Chengxintang papers in his hand, looked at Cui Lin seriously and asked, "What's going on? Didn't I tell you to burn it?" He stared at Cui Lin closely, Don't let go of the slightest change in his expression.

Cui Lin was originally puzzled and felt uneasy, but when he saw the Chengxintang paper in Cui Xuezheng's hand, he suddenly became sober, and quickly knelt down to admit his mistake.

"My lord, I know I was wrong. I, I didn't burn these manuscripts as you ordered." His voice was trembling.

Cui Xuezheng looked at him like this, and knew that he didn't know that this matter was involved in the imperial examination fraud case.

He was suspicious, so he asked carefully: "Why did you spread these manuscripts?"

Cui Lin knew that he had made a mistake, and he didn't dare to tell the truth to fool Cui Xuezheng, so he said truthfully: "I have a brother who is three years older than me in my hometown. A few days ago, my brother was tempted to lose a lot of money in a casino. He asked for money, and all the debt collectors chased him home. My parents had no choice but to come to me. They said that the owner of the gambling shop is fond of calligraphy and painting, and he likes your calligraphy and painting the most. The owner of the gambling shop said that if If I can get your calligraphy, it’s fine even if it’s an unwanted draft, as long as I can get some, it can offset the money my brother owes.”

Talking about his family's mess, Cui Lin was a little ashamed. He knew that Mr. Cui had always been quite dissatisfied with gambling and other activities, thinking that it disturbed the hearts of the people.He originally stole the scrap manuscript because he didn't want Master Cui to know about it, but he didn't expect to be discovered in the end.Not only that, but he had to repeat his theft again, Cui Lin lowered his head in shame and continued, his voice choked up: "I thought, your scrap manuscripts are not important, so I secretly took some and wanted to pay back I swear I only did this once for the silver owed by my brother! I never violated your orders before."

Cui Xuezheng never expected such a reason, he let out a long sigh, as if he had aged a lot.

He spoke slowly, with a trembling voice: "Do you know that this matter involves the cheating of the imperial examination in this court exam. Among the scrap manuscripts you took, there are exam questions for this court exam."

Cui Lin was shocked when he heard this, as if a basin of cold water had been poured over his head, his legs went limp and he collapsed on the ground.Only then did he realize what an irreparable mistake he had committed.

He kowtowed to Cui Xuezheng and cried, begging for punishment.

"I can't intercede for you this time. When it comes to selecting scholars through the imperial examination, the Holy One will definitely punish me severely, and I will lose my life." Cui Xuezheng said with a wry smile, and then called someone to detain Cui Lin. Someone from above was sent to investigate the case.

Cui Xuezheng said to the middle-aged man with red eyes: "At the end of the day, it's because I'm not strict with my orders and acted carelessly. If your young master hadn't reminded me in time, the situation would be irreversible after the announcement of this ranking. In the future If the Lu family asks for something, I, Cui, will definitely help."

Then he laughed self-deprecatingly, thinking that Lu Xianzhi's scheming and discerning attitude must not be something in the pool, and he is afraid that there will be nothing he, a criminal, can help in the future.

"My young master said it, please rest assured, and be patient for a while, recovery is just around the corner." Cui Xuezheng shook his head after listening to the comforting words, thanked the middle-aged man again, and sent him out.

Afterwards, he immediately summoned the scribes to select the test papers overnight, reselected [-] good papers from the circled papers, and copied the list himself.

By the time he finished writing the name of the last candidate, the sky was already slightly bright, and the first ray of sunlight shone through the window curtain on Cui Xuezheng's red eyes that had been up all night.At this moment, there was a wry smile on his tired face.

He told the government officials that they must notify every candidate on the list to ensure that they come to the government office in three days to take the second "recruitment" exam.

***

The next day, the results of the college examination were released.

In the early morning of this day, the examinees rushed to the government office to read the rankings, and the streets near the government office were full of candidates and servants who came to read the rankings.

Everyone clustered in front of the gate of the government office, waiting for the official to come out with the list.

Su Yan and Zhou Yunwen had already reserved a private room in the teahouse near the government office. At this moment, the scene seems to have returned to four years ago.

At that time, the second brother Su Yu's results were released after the college exam, and he seemed to be nervously waiting for the moment in this private room.

At that time, Su Yan was very nervous about whether his brother could get the little three yuan, but when it was his turn, he seemed to calm down a lot.

just kidding.

Su Yan was still very nervous. After all, it was the first routine task of the red envelope system, and he still wanted to see what kind of reward the system would give in the end.

Su Yan was pondering and guessing in his heart when he heard a commotion coming from the front of the government office.

"The rankings are released! The rankings are released!" Some candidates shouted.

For a while, the crowd was surging.

The gate of the government office was slowly opened, and a team of government officials came out.

The second elder brother Su Yu was sitting next to Su Yan. He had just lowered his head and took a sip of tea when he saw the team of yamen servants raise their eyebrows.How could he remember that there were not so many official posts when the rankings were released in the academy examination.

Seeing the appearance of the yamen servant, the crowd in front of the government office involuntarily lowered their voices, and the scene became quiet.

The yamen servants stood still in front of the government yamen, and the candidates around them consciously made a circle around them.

One of them was a tall, burly yamen servant who looked like a powerful man and stood a few steps forward. His dark eyes under two thick eyebrows looked around with sharp eyes.

Seeing the expressions of all the people around him listening attentively, he coughed, cleared his throat, and said loudly in his majestic voice:

"Master Jing Xuezheng and the governor jointly discussed that this college examination will be modeled on the county examination and government examination in previous years, and two more examinations will be added. The examination that you participated in before is the 'first review', and [-] scholars will be selected. Next, sing The [-] candidates on the list must arrive at the Jiangling government office at Chenshi three days later to take the next "recruitment" exam. Candidates are only allowed to bring pens, inkstones, and the government office provides meals. The next "recruitment" exam One day of examination, starting at Si time, closing of application time, [-] candidates will be selected, and the list will be announced two days later, and the selected candidates will take the final test."

After the burly yamen servant finished speaking, he signaled another tall and thin yamen servant holding a long scroll to post the list.

However, as soon as he finished speaking, it was as if water had dropped into a hot oil pan. The examinees were in an uproar, looking at each other and discussing.

"Why are there two more exams suddenly?"

"Didn't there be any previous college exams?"

"Didn't you hear? It is said that two more exams will be added like the county exams and government exams in previous years."

"Could it be that there will be three exams in the future? Is it the same in other prefectures this year?"

"Hey, have you heard that I was in the teahouse a few days ago and heard someone say that the exam questions were leaked early and someone cheated. Do you think the two extra exams are related to that rumor?"

"No way, I really leaked the question. That's too unfair!"

"However, adding two more exams is always a good thing. I think I didn't perform well in the last one, so the two extra exams will give me a little more chance."

"Heh, you didn't perform well in the last game, and you don't know if you can make it into the top three hundred."

"No way, I still have to take the exam. My mind is blank after the exam, and I don't remember anything."

......

Amid all the discussions, the list has already been posted.

Everyone swarmed up again, eager to see if their names were on the list.

The burly yamen servant ignored them, and began to sing the list with a powerful voice. Su Yan could hear his thick and penetrating voice in the teahouse not far away.

Since there are two more exams to come, the ranking of the list is not important this time. When the yamen servants sing the list, they only read the candidates' birthplaces and names, not their rankings.

"Could it be that the exam was really leaked in advance?" Su Yan looked at his second brother curiously.

"We can't rule out this possibility." Su Yu stuffed a mouthful of pastry into Su Yan's small mouth, and said in a flat tone, "Two exams have been added suddenly, and they haven't passed the college exam before Jiangling Mansion. Other prefectures I have never heard of it, and I am afraid that something really happened in this hospital examination."

His second brother's feeding method is too rough. Su Yan chewed the pastry hard. The osmanthus cake filled his cheeks, just like a cute little hamster.

Some pastry residue from the corner of his mouth fell onto Xiao Bai's head in his arms, Xiao Bai immediately thumped a few times in dissatisfaction, and shook his little head vigorously.

Father Su Yue frowned, as if he had thought of something deeper.

"However, the sudden addition of two exams shows that the matter is still within controllable range, and you just take part in accordance with the regulations. For our talented Yan Geer, it's just a few more articles handed down from generation to generation." Su Yu joked.

Su Yan wrinkled her delicate little nose.He kisses his second brother, who is so grown up, he still likes to tease him.

But then he thought that the next two exams didn't need to stay in the Gongyuan for three more days, so he relaxed and let out a long sigh of relief.

If he had to stay in the tribute courtyard for two rounds for three days and two nights, no matter how strong the boy was, he would cry!

Singing the list is not an easy job. Su Yan doesn't know where the yamen servants have sung. He only thinks that more than 200 candidates have sung.He drank tea until his stomach was full, and the voice of the yamen servant was still vigorous and powerful.

Su Yan was thinking about when it would end when he heard the name of the little brother Zhou Yunwen.

"Changxi County! Zhou Yunwen!"

He hurriedly bumped fists with the little senior brother excitedly.

"No.10 is not bad." Zhou Yunwen said to Su Yan with a smile, and then bowed to Su Yue, "It's not an embarrassment to the teacher."

Seeing that the little senior brother actually counted the rankings in his heart, Su Yan couldn't help but widen his almond eyes.

Zhou Yunwen saw the look of admiration on his face, and smiled, "Then we have to see if Brother Yan is number one."

Su Yan sat up straight involuntarily, stretching out her small chest.

He is more or less confident!

"For number one, what reward does Brother Yan want? Brother Yan will give it to you." Su Yu also smiled and patted his head.

The second brother's reward is definitely not something serious, Su Yan looked at his second brother warily.

Su Yu caught a glimpse of his vivid little eyes, a pair of peach blossom eyes full of smiles, his shoulders shrugged slightly, her little brother is so cute.

"Brother Yan! You are really the number one name!" After singing another name, Zhou Yunwen happily shook Su Yan's shoulder.

Ah, this? !

Before Su Yan could figure out what expression to put on, he heard the yamen servant sing:

"Changxi County! Su Yan!"

I am the first name!

If I didn't have the next two exams, I would have won the small three yuan!

Su Yan thought happily, her smiling eyes curved like a bright crescent moon.

Hehehe, as expected of me!

Xiaobai heard the name of the excrement shovel officer, and shook his little ears keenly, and a pair of amber cat eyes rolled round and round, as if observing who was calling for the excrement shovel officer.

When the last name was sung, the candidates around were in an uproar.

What is the origin of this candidate named Su Yan?

Everyone looked around, wanting to see what Su Yan looked like.

But no one stood up and said that he was this Su Yan.

Some of the candidates are well-informed.Immediately, someone made an appearance of "I am familiar with Su Yanke", and said proudly: "Su Yan is the double case leader of our Changxi County Examination and Minzhou Prefecture Examination, and he is quite young, only 13 years old. , young talent!"

The surrounding crowd heard it and couldn't help but be speechless.

Only 13 years old?So scary.

The 13-year-old double case!The first exam of the college examination was the first again, presumably a little Sanyuan had no chance to escape.

Someone also retorted in a strange way: "Maybe, he just got lucky. There are two exams to come. So many people won't lose to a 13-year-old kid."

There was a young examinee in the crowd with a particularly strange expression. He was the examinee who sat opposite Su Yan's room when he was in the Gongyuan.

Hearing everyone's description of Su Yan, he felt more and more that Su Yan was the little kid who sat opposite him in the courtyard test.

He compared them one by one, isn't 13 years old a half-grown kid? I wrote very fast, and started to sleep during the day the next afternoon. Isn't this a brilliant talent!

He is also within the [-] this time, and if he has a chance to take the second exam, he will have to catch that brat and ask him what he ate that day!He has been hungry for days!

At this time, the people around had already started talking about the talent of the last junior, Lu Xianzhi, and a group of fans started to praise their male god Lu Xianzhi again.

After singing the list, only a few officials in the team remained in front of the government office to maintain order.

The rest of the officials began to follow the candidates' registered residences, in case some people didn't come to see the list, and planned to inform them one by one to remember to take the next exam.

Zhang Xinsi mixed in the crowd with cold hands and feet.

Ever since he heard the yamen servant say that there were still two exams left, his complexion turned pale, as if he was mourning for his concubine.Originally, I thought that I would be able to become the envied master of scholar after passing this college test, but I never expected that I would have to take two more tests after that.Especially when he heard that his name was not in the top [-], and even a hundred or so short, Zhang Xinsi became even more terrified.

He cursed in his heart: What does Xuezheng do for food?Wouldn't it be enough to take a test?There are two more games, this is not a waste of manpower and material resources, is the examinee's time and energy so squandered and wasted?

Zhang Xinsi was extremely resentful.

Candidates surnamed Li were also in the crowd, and they couldn't help being a little proud to hear that their name was long behind Zhang Xinsi.

He said, how could Zhang Xinsi, that idiot, have the chance to be a scholar, it's just luck.

However, Zhang Xinsi actually entered the top [-] this time, which was unexpected by the candidates surnamed Li.Candidates surnamed Li are very satisfied with the two additional exams at this time. Yes, they should add exams to get rid of lucky candidates like Zhang Xinsi.

Chen Dashan and Chen Xiaoshan were also squeezed into this group of candidates looking at the list.Chen Dashan leaned close to Chen Xiaoshan, protecting his younger brother with his arms outstretched, preventing the candidates around him from squeezing his thin younger brother.

When Chen Dashan heard that the yamen servant said that there would be two more exams, he also breathed a sigh of relief.Xiaoshan was very depressed after returning from the exam that day, thinking that he did not answer well in the exam, and only thought of a better way to solve the questions after leaving the exam room, so he was very annoyed and told him several times these days.

Among the exam questions Xiao Shan told him was a Four Books question, which happened to be exactly the same as the one he saw on the paper of that poor examinee that night.

Chen Dashan didn't think it would be such a coincidence, and he had recently heard rumors that the exam questions were leaked in advance, so he was very suspicious.

He was planning to find out the test paper hidden by the candidate if Xiao Shan failed to make the list after the results were released, and go to the government office to seek justice.Unexpectedly, the results would be released today, and when the yamen servant said that two more exams would be added, Chen Dashan guessed that there were indeed such leaked questions in the college exam.
