One is the Fang family who lends a helping hand out of nowhere.
One is the Jiang family who is not familiar with them.
Little Jiang Sheng froze on the spot, looking left and right. Her intuition told her that no one was easy to mess with, but her eldest brother's matter was imminent, so the exam had to come first.
She pursed her lips, her eyes flickering back and forth between Butler Fang and Jiang Chengyuan, and finally settled on Jiang Chengyuan.
Before he could say "Brother Jiang", Yuan Yamen beside him suddenly beamed with joy.
Everyone turned around and realized that the governor of Anshui County was here.
He was already eight feet tall, but now he was walking like a star, and in the blink of an eye he arrived at the gate of the Gongyuan and stood in front of three carriages.
"Sir..." Yuan Yamen handed over his hand and wanted to recount what happened.
He Chengzhang waved his hand and interrupted him, "Stop talking and let the students go in for the exam first."
Everyone was startled.
"All matters are postponed. Let the students take the exam first. Don't delay the examination." Governor He's face was serious and his voice was like a bell, suppressing all the voices in the audience.
Jiang Sheng's nose felt sour, and he suddenly regretted that he secretly cursed the county guard for disappearing in the middle of the night because of a few pieces of wood.
"Hurry, pay tribute to the Courtyard now." He Chengzhang's voice left no room for doubt.
Xu Mo and the students lying on the ground all reacted and immediately stood up with the exam basket in hand.
Sun Quanzhu was unhappy and pointed at Xu Mo and shouted, "Sir, he is a murderer and a bad person. Why should he be allowed to take the exam? Why!"
"Why?" He Chengzhang sneered, "Because he has been convicted twice in a row, because he became a scholar at the age of thirteen, and because he did not participate in the college examination, he can take the judicial examination!"
After saying these words, the whole place fell into silence.
Who would have thought that that boy who looked to be only thirteen or fourteen years old could be such an outstanding being.
"Yes, but he is the mastermind..." Sun Quanzhu was still struggling unwillingly.
He Chengzhang's lips revealed a sinister smile, "Whether he is the mastermind is open to question. You committed a murder on the street against a student preparing for the exam, but you have all the witnesses and material evidence. Come on, take him to the government prison and investigate immediately!"
Yuan Yamen accepted the order enthusiastically, rushed forward, and tied up Sun Quanzhu's arms.
at the same time.
The gate of Gongyuan slowly closed, and Xu Mo, who was about to walk in, looked back at his younger brothers and sisters for the last time, and rushed to his own examination room resolutely.
Jiang Sheng waved his arms desperately outside until the gate of Gongyuan was firmly closed before jumping back to his brothers.
"Fortunately, brother is fine." The little girl patted her chest in fear.
Zheng Ruqian touched her pigtails and said, "Big brother, good people have their own destiny. Any disaster will turn into good luck. Don't worry too much. When big brother comes back with another case, you will scare those villains to death."
Jiang Sheng nodded seriously.
Chang Yan, who was standing next to him, endured it again and again, but he still couldn't hold it back and interrupted, "Second brother, the leader of the examination is not called the head of the case, but Jie Yuan."
The Juren Examination is also called the Provincial Examination, and the first person in the Provincial Examination is called Jieyuan.
After the rural examination, you have to go to Fengjing for the joint examination. The first place in the joint examination is named Huiyuan.
After the general examination, it's time for the palace examination. The first place in the palace examination is called the number one scholar.
If you get three first places in a row, it means you have won three yuan in a row. You are an unparalleled talent and a born literary star. The Dayu Dynasty went forward for hundreds of years, and there were only three or five such figures.
Anyone who truly understands the imperial examination and is familiar with the difficulty of this road would not have any expectations of Xu Mo winning three yuan in a row.
In their understanding, to be able to safely cross the line, pass the imperial examination, and then enter the court, they have to fight against thousands of troops. The level of difficulty is comparable to plowing a field with bare hands.
But Xiao Jiang Sheng didn't think so. In her heart, the eldest brother was the most powerful person in the entire dynasty. He was even more powerful than Nao Shizi Wen Quxing.
"Brother will definitely win Jieyuan, and maybe he will win three yuan in a row." The little girl clenched her fists and cheered.
Chang Yan and Wen Zhiyun pursed their lips and said nothing.
But Jiang Chengyuan couldn't help but say, "It's so difficult to win three yuan in a row, little Jiang Pian, please stop dreaming."
Jiang Sheng stared.
She really wanted to quarrel with this person. Her name was not Jiang Sheng or Jiang Pian, her name was Jiang Sheng.
But thinking that the second brother also wanted to do business with Youranju, and this person was the owner of Youranju, he reluctantly kept his mouth shut.
He just muttered softly, "Jiang Sheng believes in eldest brother, eldest brother is the most powerful."
Zheng Ruqian went over and rubbed her little head, grinning on his thin cheeks, "I believe in you too, brother."
"We also believe in brother." Chang Yan tilted his head and said in unison with Wen Zhiyun.
Jiang Chengyuan froze on the spot, puzzled.
Winning one yuan is already extremely difficult, and winning three yuan in a row is a rare occurrence in a hundred years. These brothers and sisters are completely crazy, blindly believing in such a fantasy.
He didn't realize that deep in his heart, there was a faint feeling of envy, which was growing and getting bigger.
The gate of Gongyuan.
As the students entered, after the gate of Gongyuan was closed tightly, a dozen government officials armed with long swords enforced martial law around the area.
This can not only protect Gongyuan, but also prevent those who are interested in making noise and disturbing students who are taking exams.
Most of the students' family members left without looking back.
The few who didn't want to leave took a few steps back and waited a little further away.
Jiang Sheng didn't want to leave, but Zheng Ruqian hadn't had breakfast yet, so she took her brothers and found a wonton stall to sit down.
Just like when Xu Mo was taking the boy student exam, the brothers and sisters sat outside eating wontons and waited. They didn't know how the world was unified. There was always a wonton stall at the entrance of Gongyuan.
After filling his stomach, Zheng Ruqian remembered the roast duck he had worked so hard to transport back.
"I have to go to Youranju." He jumped up, not forgetting to pinch Jiang Sheng's pigtails, "You all can come with me."
Anyway, Xu Mo had to squat inside for three days during this exam. They could wait outside, but they couldn't just wait.
Jiang Sheng and his two brothers had no objection.
Ever since, they saw the well-dressed Jiang Chengyuan again in Youran Juli.
At first, when he saw Jiang Sheng, he was a little surprised, thinking that this little ginger piece was here to find him.
After putting down his things and approaching him, he realized that he was here to see Shopkeeper Hao.
"Uncle Hao, my second brother has worked hard to transport this roast duck. He is so thin and disfigured. Have you received the goods that you have worked so hard to transport?" Xiao Jiang Sheng asked, gesturing with his hands and feet.
Shopkeeper Hao stroked his beard cheerfully, "I got it, I got it."
He also praised Zheng Ruqian, "The idea of keeping it chilled was so clever. I originally thought that the roast duck would not last long, but I didn't expect that it is still fresh now."
Zheng Ruqian smacked his lips.
That's so clever. A hundred roast ducks only cost four taels of silver, but half a car of ice cost a full ten taels of silver. It was so painful that it made people twitch.
But he couldn't say that.
In Shangyanshang, he made an agreement with Shopkeeper Hao for two taels of silver each, and that was two taels of silver. The extra profit would go to him, and the cost incurred would also be counted on him.
What's more, this trip to Danyang County also made him grow a lot and understand a lot.
