"Third sister!" Seeing Aunt Hu vomiting a mouthful of blood, Du Chenglin hurriedly supported her, with distress on his face.
"Why are you doing this? Didn't I already calculate that although Xi Yan is in danger this time, there is still a glimmer of hope for survival. Your injuries have not healed yet, so you can no longer peep into the secrets!"
Aunt Hu San wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth and shook her head: "This is very unusual. I am a close relative of Xi Yan. Even if I am injured, I should not just see a mess."
"I think you are confused if you are concerned." Du Chenglin said helplessly: "Xiyan is not a noisy child. Since she followed, there must be something special between the two of them."
"Did you send someone to look at the list?" Hu Sanyi was silent for a moment and suddenly asked.
"I've sent someone to check it out a long time ago. Why, do you think that Xi Yan found out that the young man has official luck and wants to use his luck to cover up his aura?"
Du Chenglin felt that although this was possible, it was not worth the risk Hu Xiyan took.
But looking at Hu Sanyi's appearance, she obviously thinks this is a very likely possibility.
"Master! Master!" At this moment, a follower's voice came from outside.
The people following Du Chenglin were all humans, and they did not know Du Chenglin's identity. Du Chenglin glanced at Hu Sanyi, and Hu Sanyi swayed, turned into a big fox, and jumped to a hiding place to cover her body.
Du Chenglin then said to the people outside: "Come in."
"Master, what you asked me to do, I've already done it!" Although the entourage didn't understand why Du Chenglin asked him to look at the results, after all, Du Chenglin is a chess master, which is not the same system as the imperial examination. Although his rank is not high,
He is only in the eighth grade, but who will soon admire him?
I haven't heard that someone this time is Du Chenglin's nephew?
However, he still did his duty and copied down the names of all the people on the list, and then showed them to Du Chenglin: "Look, this is the list of all the people on the list!"
"Thank you for your hard work, let's go down and have a rest first!" He waved to let him go out. When he saw Aunt Hu coming over to look at her, Du Chenglin couldn't help but change his face slightly. He pointed at the first place and said with appreciation: "As expected of Xi Yan, she is really good.
In terms of discernment, this Su Ziji is actually at the top of the list, he seems to be really talented!"
You should know that from the founding of the People's Republic of China to the present day, Dazheng attached great importance to the imperial examination.
After the war, there were indeed fewer scholars. When Zheng Taizu was thirsty for talents, he relaxed the requirements. In today's era, the number of scholars has become saturated, and the imperial examination has become more and more strict.
The entire county only selects fifty scholars at a time, but there are thousands of students in one county who take the imperial examination. Fifty people are selected from thousands of people. If they are selected, even if they are at the bottom, they are the best among them.
scholar.
And Su Ziji was ranked first among the fifty scholars, which is really amazing.
Even Hu Sanyi, who had always had objections to Hu Xiyan's refusal to come back, was also hesitant when she learned about Su Ziji's results.
She sighed: "Xi Yan is safe with a top-ranked scholar. No matter how lawless a Taoist priest is, he would not dare to attack a top-ranked criminal."
"I'm just a little worried. This has just been released. Will the news spread slowly, and some people will not be afraid of it if they don't know it?"
Du Chenglin consoled him: "The government has carrier pigeons. As soon as the official results are announced, someone will send a letter back to Linhua County. You don't have to worry."
He sighed again: "This time it happened, I have to go back to Beijing."
"Oh?" Aunt Hu San was a little uneasy. Du Chenglin was not a fox tribe, but he was just holding a demon. Now he was leaving. She was reluctant and a little uneasy.
"Third sister!" Du Chenglin smiled: "I came here this time actually for the opening of the Dragon Palace."
"Dragon Palace, what do you think?" Hu Sanyi asked following Du Chenglin's words.
Du Chenglin shook his head: "Although the Dragon Palace of Panlong Lake has been opened, it is just an empty show. It is said that there was only a Bei Nu back then. Now there are three or five water monsters following it, which is no good."
"I wanted to talk about floods in various places and along the coast, but seeing that Long Nu was young, she was only seven or eight years old, so I couldn't say anything."
"Hey, even if I say it, what can the Dragon Girl do? Can she still control those unruly water monsters?"
"Among the monsters in the world, water monsters are the most popular, and they are well-deserved. I just don't want people and monsters to keep fighting each other, and the grudges will get worse and worse."
As he said that, Du Chenglin couldn't help but sigh when he saw Aunt Hu San's disapproving and indifferent look.
The monster on land has been suffering from the imperial court (human race) for a long time. It wants to kill all the humans immediately. How can it think about stopping the war and turning it into jade and silk?
Faced with this turbulent monster, even Du Chenglin would rather do it than he knows what to do.
Linhua County County Government
"What? Did Su Ziji pass the exam as a scholar, or was he the head of the case?" Tan An, who heard the news from his master, felt like a thunder struck him, and he froze in place.
He longed for Ye Buhui, and was naturally very hostile to Su Ziji, a young man who always stayed by Ye Buhui's side. He originally thought that Su Ziji was only at the bottom of the class when he was admitted as a child student, and that he would gain nothing from going to Fucheng this time. Unexpectedly,
With such bad luck, you got the first-class exam?
The master was very happy, stroking his beard, and said cheerfully: "In this government examination, our Linhua County has produced several talented people, especially Su Ziji, who ranked first in the first list, and even Yu Lu was ranked second in the list.
First, ranked fourth, and made a lot of money for us in Linhua County."
"These are the seeds of study. They should be born to study in the government. Master Zhang plans to invite them over and encourage them personally."
In fact, not only County Magistrate Zhang, but also his master, felt very happy after learning the results of the government examination.
He is a native of Linhua County. Although his hometown is not in the city, someone in Linhua County has become an official, and the entire county has benefited. If nothing else, when there is a natural disaster, there is a big difference between someone in the court and no one.
.
Moreover, Su Ziji and Yu Lu were admitted as scholars and would definitely have to study in the government. They were both selected from the current county magistrate, and they were not talking about being masters.
For Linhua County, it is also a meritorious service. The county magistrate is in a good mood. As a subordinate, he is naturally happy.
"Master, is Su Zi a native of the government?" Tan An had come to his senses at this time, and heard what Master said. His heart felt even more sour, and he couldn't help but confirm.
I thought in my heart: "Su Ziji is so lucky to be admitted as a scholar. There are thousands of people and fifty people, but he is still a scholar in the government. Doesn't this mean that God has no discernment?"
Although a scholar could not become an official in the court, he could still be considered to have a formal title, he could be exempted from the corvee, he would not kneel before the magistrate, and he could not be tortured casually. He was considered to have entered the first level of scholar-bureaucrats, and the scholar with the best grades was called a "natural student".
You can receive one liter of rice, one tael of silver per month, and occasionally fish, meat, oil, and salt.
In fact, he is far from being a poor scholar, and his life is more than enough. Doesn't this make Tan An envious and jealous?
"Why, did you have a problem with Su Xiucai?" The master is not stupid. He was too happy just now, so he didn't notice that Tan An's expression was wrong. Now when he looked at it, he found that this man seemed to be more annoyed than happy, and his face was pale.
It sank.
It happened that the official who was displeased with Tan An came in, overheard the conversation, and interrupted: "Master, are you talking about Su Ziji?"
"Oh? You know him too?" Master looked over.
The short official smiled deliberately and said: "I have only met him once from a distance. Tan Anke is familiar with him. The relationship between the two does not seem to be harmonious."
"Oh?" The master's eyes fell on Tan An again, and this inspection made Tan An suddenly sweat.
