Pet wife Imperial Examination Road

As soon as the sun was up, the grievance drum in the state capital was banging. A young servant who had just woken up saw an old woman at the door beating the drum hard.

"Auntie, why are you complaining about your grievances? It's so early in the morning, you still don't let anyone sleep."

Mrs. Yunsun said with her hands on her hips, "Quickly wake up your master and say that I have been wronged."

If there are common people redressing their grievances, the governor of the state government will take care of it, so the servant had no choice but to go in to report while yawning, and came out after a while to let Mrs. Yunsun in.

The prefect of the prefecture was suddenly woken up. Yesterday he passed out drunk in the beauty town. He was woken up before two hours of sleep.

"Tell me about your grievances?" the prefect said.

Mrs. Yunsun straightened up and said, "During the township examination, the examiner made a mistake. My son Yunwu should have been able to pass the exam, but there was no place in the list."

It was the first time for the prefect to encounter such a thing. Since ancient times, the imperial court had sent someone from the Ministry of Rites to preside over the imperial examination. Although he was the prefect of Qingzhou, he did not have jurisdiction over this matter.

"You said it was stealing the quota. If that's the case, the master should go to the person who presides over the imperial examination and ask if there was a mistake in the judgment."

The master agreed to withdraw, and Yunsun knelt on the ground triumphantly. Those people told her to keep quiet yesterday. This thing was won by herself. If she kept quiet, how could she kneel here today to talk to the prefect? ​​What she said The prefect also has to listen to three points.

The prefect of Qingzhou waited for people to come, sat for a while and began to doze off on the chair, the people on both sides did not dare to vent their anger, and only listened to the prefect's snoring.

After the master took Yunwu's paper back, the eunuch woke up and looked at the paper, only glanced at it for a few moments, and threw the paper on the ground with a wave of his hand.

"Bold and unreasonable, this kind of article also wants to claim fame. I think you are tired of your work. Come, someone, drag her out for me, and give her ten big slaps."

Before Yunsun could react, the officers and soldiers on both sides dragged her out, and she panicked when she heard ten big boards, "Prefect, my Wu'er should win the exam. Yes, if you don’t do anything after paying the money, you will be punished by God!”

The prefect originally thought that this woman was crazy about wanting to win the exam and came here to make trouble, but now it seems that this person has framed an official, which is an unforgivable crime. "Wait, bring the person over."

The officers and soldiers brought her back again. Yunsun smiled and waited for the eunuch to promote her son. She took the initiative and said, "I paid dozens of taels of silver for my child. The official received my money. I must remember it." Bar."

Cheating in imperial examinations to bribe officials has been popular in recent years, and everyone has done business in private. No one has ever dared to say on the stage that the prefect has naturally gained a lot of benefits, but he is fair and honest on the surface, how can he be caught by others? . "This imperial examination is a system that I have always selected officials in the Northern Dynasty. It has been fair and just for hundreds of years. No official has ever accepted bribes. Since you have slandered court officials like this, it seems that there are too few ten boards. Come here, and arrest this person In the prison, if she continues to talk nonsense, someone will cut her tongue out."

All the joy in Yunsun's heart fell to nothing, and she suddenly realized the stupid thing she had done, hugged the corner of the prefect's clothes and said, "Master, I was wronged, I was wronged."

The prefect kicked her away, "Hurry up and drag her down, and post a notice in the city. If the family members don't come, they will be locked in the prison forever."

Qingzhou city was covered with plasters where Yunsun was imprisoned for slandering officials and uttering wild words, and there was a signature at the bottom. After Yun Yun saw it, she said, "This is her retribution. She has no brains and has hurt her children."

Cheng Mu listened and did not refute. If Yun Yun hadn't provoked Yunsun when the ranking was released, she would not have made it to this point. Evil people will be rewarded with evil.

"I'm out of breath now, and the two will have nothing to do in the future."

"Ayun, you have grown up."

"Yeah, if I'm bullied again, I'm sure I'll be gnawed out of my bones in the future. Cheng Mu, we've gone through so much from Linhe Village to Linchuan County and then to Qingzhou City. I'm no longer That child who does everything for others and completely disregards himself, even if it is for you, I have to protect myself well."

As if an epiphyllum bloomed overnight, Cheng Mu knew that it would be more difficult to walk on this road, and there would be even more dangers waiting for them when they arrived in the capital. It would not be a good thing if Yun Yun remained innocent.

It was Yun Wu who was suffering. Seeing his aunt in the prison, he was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot. He asked countless people and said that he had enough money to get him out, and it would take about three to forty taels. .He doesn't have ten taels of silver on him now, how can he afford this money.Cheng Mu and Yun Yun are in Qingzhou, but they will definitely not help them, and they have no money, so they can only ask someone to bring news home and explain the general things.

This blow made Yunwu feel bad for Yunsun, his mother would do everything to make him pass the exam, now things are like this, how can he go to school with money.It is rumored that money was used before the examination in another country, which makes people suspect that his status as a scholar was also bought with money.An ordinary person who is a scholar can still go to a school to be a teacher, but if things get serious, no one would dare to ask him to be a scholar.

It was already mid-September after the announcement of the rankings, and the weather started to turn cold. The Spring Festival will be held in the capital in February next year, and all Juren can participate.It takes more than a month to travel from Qingzhou to the capital. If you want to go, you have to leave in time, and you can't even leave when the snow falls in November.

"One tael, two taels..." Yun Yun sat by the bed and counted the money. Cheng Mu had already inquired that it would take ten taels of silver to hire a carriage in the capital, plus the cost of the journey, it would be impossible without 15 taels .In a place like the capital city, you have to spend money after you go there. Now they have less than 20 taels in total, and they might starve to death someday when they arrive in the capital city.

"Cheng Mu, let's not go to the capital. I've already passed the Juren exam. It's good to be a small official in the county. Why go to the capital again?"

Cheng Mu's face suddenly became serious, "Ayun, if you put aside the issue of money, you are willing to go to the capital."

"It goes without saying that if we have money, I will definitely go. It would be great if we can stay in the capital and become an official, and it would be great if we don't want to be an official in a state capital to show our ambitions."

"So, our fundamental problem is money." Cheng Mu supported Yun Yun's shoulder and looked into his eyes.

"Cheng Mu, you won't do stupid things..."

Cheng Mu opened a wooden box where the things were stored, rummaged through the things in the box, and finally took out a three-foot-long iron rod with a red tassel tied to one end.

"what is this?"

Cheng Mu skillfully pulled the iron rod from the middle to both ends, and what finally appeared was the shape of a red-tasseled spear, "This is what my father gave me back then to kill enemies on the battlefield. Now I don't have to go to the battlefield to fight, I keep it This is useless."

Yun Yun took the red-tasseled gun, the tip of the gun was shining brightly, and the body of the gun was smooth, "You don't want to sell this, absolutely not, you pawned that jade pendant last time, how can you sell what your parents kept now?" sold!"
