Fucheng·Du Family Courtyard
"Third sister!" Seeing Hu Sanyi vomiting 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't peep into the secrets anymore!"
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 Xiyan. Even if I am injured, I should not just see a mess."
"I think you are confused if you care." Du Chenglin said helplessly: "Xiyan is not a noisy child. Since she is following, 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 asked suddenly.
"I've sent someone to look at it a long time ago. Why, do you think that Xiyan 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 possibility is very high.
"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 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, and it is not the same system as the imperial examination at all. Although his rank is not high, Only 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. At this time, he opened it 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 San came to look at her, Du Chenglin couldn't help but change his face. He pointed at the first place and said with appreciation: "As expected of Xi Yan, really good In terms of discernment, this Su Ziji is actually at the top of the list, he seems to be really talented!"
You know, from the founding of Dazheng to the present, he 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 the current 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. Once the results of the government examination are announced, someone will send a letter back to Linhua County. You don't have to worry."
Another long sigh: "This time it's over, 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 the demon. Now he was leaving, and she was reluctant to leave. She was still 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 Panlong Lake Dragon Palace 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 originally wanted to talk about the floods in various places and along the coast, but seeing that Longnu was young and only seven or eight years old, I couldn't say anything."
"Hey, even if I say it, what can 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 disapproving and looking indifferent.
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 fighting and turning it into jade and silk?
Facing this turbulent monster, even Du Chenglin would rather do it than know what to do.
Linhua County County Government
"What? Is Su Ziji a scholar, or is 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, so he would gain nothing from going to Fucheng this time. Unexpectedly, With such bad luck, he got the title of Criminal Examination?
The master was very happy, stroking his beard, and said cheerfully: "In this government examination, our Linhua County has produced several talents, especially Su Ziji, who ranked first in the first list, and even Yu Lu was ranked second in the list. First, ranked fourth, which made us a lot of money 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. Not to mention anything else, but whenever there is a natural disaster, the difference between someone in the court and no one is not small. .
Moreover, Su Ziji and Yu Lu were admitted to the scholar examination, and they 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, and he, a subordinate, is naturally happy.
"Master, is Su Ziji or a scholar from the government?" Tan An had woken up at this time. He heard Master's words and felt even more sour in his heart. 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 is not discerning?"
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 "genius". 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 full of anger. sank.
It happened that the official who didn't like Tan An came in and 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 sweat.
