Ding Tian's Ancient Life

"My lord, may I ask if your test post poem is a five-character eight-rhyme poem with the title 'Autumn Light Comes to the Savage's Home'? I have heard about it when I went to a teahouse with my uncle to drink tea and eat in a restaurant. Most people are discussing lively, not at all scruples!

Ding Tian said seriously: "I've even heard about Mr. Buchang." "

If Mrs. Jin hadn't been pregnant, Jin Buhuan would have wanted to take the test.

Because he said that such a good thing happens once in a hundred years, he actually knew the content of the exam questions in advance.

"Yes... That day I had a drink with Kong Xuezheng, it happened to be at dusk, because spring plowing will be in the near future... Talking about the autumn harvest, Kong Xuezheng pointed to the sky and said, 'Autumn light first comes to the savage's house'..."

At that time, they talked about autumn scenery in spring, and it felt very good, spanning spring and autumn. He even recited the poem "Dwelling in Chongyang Mountain" by Tang Sikong Tu: "The autumn light is still like a mirror, and it is attentive to take care of my fading face."

"My lord, before the papers are handed out, you should change the topic!" Ding Tian wiped his face. Fortunately, it's not time yet.There is also a chance for redemption.

Prefect Du is worthy of being the master who has guarded the city and fought the machete face to face with the barbarians. He was very decisive in killing, so he immediately asked Master Du to invite Kong Xuezheng to come over.

After a while, Kong Xuezheng came. It turned out that he also planned to come here, but he came to pick up the exam papers, because the exam was about to start.He had to divide the examination papers first, and also had to prepare blank paper for the students to write on.

As a result, I heard this "bad news".

"Change it, change it immediately!" Kong Xuezheng was a middle-aged man, seeing him, Ding Tian finally knew what it meant to be "poetry and bookish".

Confucianism is a dignified man, and he has a problem without even thinking about it.

After finishing writing, he immediately said: "Go to the examination room now and send it over. I want to see if I can still leak the questions!"

When he was angry, Kong Xuezheng was also very majestic. He led people with arrogance and left with Du Zhifu, but Master Du stayed behind and pulled Jing Tian and Ding Tian: "Hurry up and change your clothes. Check it out. , who leaked it!" After giving the order, he also quickly went to the examination room.

It wasn't the first time Jing Tian and Ding Tian partnered. The two hurriedly called up their staff, changed into casual clothes and went out. After all, leaking questions in the examination room is not a good thing.

Besides today's exam, many people went to help, even His Royal Highness King Ning sent someone to invite a hundred-man team from the Peking University Camp to stand guard.

The search was very strict, and everyone could say that there was nothing left.

Although it is spring, it is still a bit cold.

And the exam is not allowed to wear interlayer clothes, that is to say, you can only wear single clothes.

In order to keep out the cold, the helpless people can only wear three or five layers of single clothes, so that they will not be cold.

After letting people in, the gate of the examination room was closed. Inside, the statue of Confucius was worshiped, and someone carried the statue of Guan Erye to patrol the field, and announced the rules of the examination room loudly. Finally, the test papers were distributed. The title sign, on which is posted this time

exam questions.

The magistrate and Xuezheng jointly unveiled the red silk covering the signboard, and the topic was announced:

Sub-topic: "All elegant words. Ye Gong" (from "The Analects of Confucius? Shuer")

All the examinees looked at each other in blank dismay, this seemed to be something they were discussing with those people, it was different!

And the big topic is not "Food wild apples", what is written on it is "Tao with virtue".

Trial poem:

Everyone thought it would be a five-character and eight-rhyme poem with the title "Autumn Light Comes to the Savage's House First".

But the test post poem on the test paper is a five-character and eight-rhyme poem with the title "Time".

Candidates who had ghosts in their hearts immediately looked extremely ugly, while candidates who had no ghosts in their hearts carefully put away the test papers.Then the gong sounded: "Open... test...!"

The examinees inside were writing hard, but the track and field headhunters outside were a little puzzled and asked Lord Ding: "Where do we go to investigate? Is there a source for things like rumors?"

There may be no hooligans, old rascals, etc. in Fucheng, but that doesn't mean there are no gossips in Fucheng!

Where can I find out about this kind of thing?

"Gossip must have someone to spread the word, right?" Ding Tian said, "Let's go to the Zhang family first. I was in the teahouse that day and saw the third young master who is the second room of the Zhang family."

As the person concerned, Ding Tian has reason to believe that Zhang Youliang, the third young master of the Zhang family's second bedroom, must know something.

A group of people rushed to Zhang's house.

Zhang's family is now deserted, and although the filial cloth and white sails have all been removed, only the lanterns are white, reminding visitors that the family is still observing filial piety.

However, Ding Tian didn't care about taboos or not, and knocked on the door with a "bang bang bang" when he stepped forward, and the corners of their mouths twitched while watching the track and field.

The others were also very speechless, Ding Tian's unscrupulous appearance, is it too bullying?

"Bullying people?" Hearing his subordinates whispering, Tian Jing rolled his eyes: "I said Guan Lao Liu, have you forgotten how people from the Zhang family bullied your younger brother Guan Xiaoba? And Liu San'er, you too Forgot how the Zhang family refused your son to enter the school? When the Zhang family bullied others, it was much more than when Lord Ding bullied others... If you think the Zhang family is pitiful, I will let you go to the Zhang family...? "

"Don't! Boss." Guan Lao Liu said with a thick face: "That's what I said, besides, who is Ding Jueye? What kind of thing is the Zhang family? Who doesn't know that their family used to be Lianfu Your lord dares to stumble...you dare to bully me, let alone me waiting."

Although the Zhang family is a bit miserable now, no one feels sorry for them.

Ding Tian slammed the door, and soon, Zhang's concierge opened the door. He wanted to yell at him. Even if the Zhang family had a miserable life, the prestige of the local family is still there.

But when he saw the person coming, he swallowed his breath: "Master Ding? Tian Butou?"

These two people know each other well. Last year, the old man passed away, but they often met each other.

"We're here to find the second master of the Zhang family, and the third young master of the second bedroom of the Zhang family." Ding Tian said directly: "Have someone invite them.

"

"Hey, hey!" The concierge immediately greeted people: "Hurry up, hurry up! Go and invite the master, go and invite the uncle, and... the second master....

"

It is still the big living room of the Zhang family, and it is still a familiar face.

However, Mr. Zhang looked at them a little confused: "I don't know how many of you are here?"

In the past year, the Zhang family has been very quiet. Because of filial piety, even the juniors only acted in a low-key way when they went out, and the entire clan stopped.

"I want to meet the second master of the Zhang family, and Zhang Liangyou, the third young master of the second room." Jing Tian said, "Ask him, how did he know the exam questions?"

"What?" Master Zhang's face changed suddenly in surprise: "He is not... This kid is not at home to keep his grandfather's filial piety, run away

out? "

At this time, the second master of the Zhang family had already arrived.

Now that the old man of the Zhang family has passed away, naturally, everyone in the Zhang family has grown up by a generation.

Mr. Zhang, in fact, should be making preparations, and he has gradually handed over the power of the family to the eldest son. In this case, he should be promoted to the new Mrs. Zhang when Xiao Xiao is removed.

It's time for Grandpa Zhang to become Grand Master Zhang.

And his four younger brothers will become Master Zhang Er, Master Zhang San and so on in order.

It's just that the filial piety period has not yet passed, so he is low-key and has no elder status. However, Master Zhang is already preparing to separate the family.

When the parents are there, there is no separation.

That's for the small family and the small family. Doesn't the high family have no parents, so they have to separate and live separately?Moreover, Mr. Zhang had even thought of the reason, and after he got rid of his filial piety, he passed on the position of the Patriarch of the Zhang family to his eldest son.

Living in my elder brother's house can be said to be brotherly respect, so when my nephew is in charge of the house, there is no reason to support uncles, right?So don't look at the silence of the Zhang family, but there are already some turmoil inside. The next generation of the Zhang family has five sons. In addition to the eldest house, there are four families, and the four houses each have sons and grandchildren...

"Father." The second master of the Zhang family is not young anymore, with a black half-length beard, he looks like a strict teacher, a bit strict.

But these are all appearances, Ding Tian has heard from Ma De that Master Zhang's five sons, known as the five sons of the Zhang family, are not simple.

The eldest has completely inherited Master Zhang's character and character, while the second is a moral gentleman on the outside, but not as good as a beast on the inside.

The third child is a shrewd man, and no one can beat him in terms of abacus.

The fourth child is taciturn, but he has a ditch in his heart. He does not fight or grab, but he is the head of the family's warehouse.

The fifth child is even more eloquent. When socializing outside, everyone is willing to deal with him, and he is called "Master Zhang Wu".

"Where's the third child in your family? Let him come over!" Mr. Zhang was playing tricks at this moment. He deliberately only called his son over, but not his grandson.

I just want to make a time difference, and I want to hear the purpose of the official's visit, and when I ask my son to go back to call his grandson, by the way, ask his grandson, what did he do wrong?Or think about countermeasures.

"Yes." The second master of the Zhang family was really clever, and immediately turned around and ran to his courtyard.

Ding Tian and the others knew that he was going to ask his son for clarification, and to make a confession by the way, but they didn't stop him.

The old god was still there, drinking tea and having snacks, but Tian Tutou chatted with Mr. Zhang about daily chores. After a while, the second master of the Zhang family brought his third son, the third young master of the second room, to the living room.

Zhang Liangyou looked a bit listless, and Jing Tian directly looked at Ding Tian, ​​and Ding Tian asked him unceremoniously: "That day at the teahouse, how did the third young master know about the exam questions?"

Zhang Liangyou flinched: "Not at all..."

"That day I was next door, and my uncle was on that table." Ding Tian told him very calmly, "Don't lie to me."

Zhang Liangyou swallowed in embarrassment: "I... I... I heard what my uncle said!"

"You mean, Zhang Yongcheng?" The corners of Ding Tian's mouth twitched slightly: "This excuse is not very good, Zhang Yongcheng is already a scholar, and he has already set off for Beichong Mansion half a month ago, because this autumn's autumn, He also wants to participate... Your reason is not valid."

Zhang Liangyou's face turned pale!

The second master of the Zhang family also turned pale.

Master Zhang glared at the two of them with hatred: "Don't tell me the truth! Do you really want Lord Ding and Butou Tian to arrest you and return you to the yamen?"

"Grandfather, father!" Zhang Liangyou was really scared now: "I heard about this matter from my classmate Wu Liangfu."

"Wu Liangfu? Are you sure?" Ding Tian asked him: "If you lie again, I will really arrest you and take you to the yamen for interrogation."

"What I said this time is true!" Zhang Liangyou is not very old, and his psychological quality is not as good as that of his grandfather and father. After being intimidated by Ding Tian, ​​he said everything: "Wu Liangfu is also an examinee this time. I was suddenly very happy, and even showed off to me at the literary meeting,

Said that he passed the examination of scholar before me!I am not convinced!If a scholar is so easy to take the exam, everyone will become a famous person, he said, he even got the exam questions, what else can't pass the exam?And I, because I have to keep my filial piety, I am doomed to miss the exam this time, and I will wait for the next exam! "

"Then why do you publicize the exam questions everywhere?" Ding Tian didn't understand.

"Wu Liangfu knows the exam questions, but his academic performance is not very good. If many people know the exam questions, more people will do better than him in the exam. At that time, he may fail the exam.... "Zhang Liangyou said in a low voice: "If a fool like him is admitted as a scholar, he still doesn't know how to show off...I'm not convinced!"

Therefore, he wanted to sabotage Wu Liangfu's plan and let more people pass him and squeeze him out.
