The inner city of the eastern capital, the Han house.

In the study, Han Yi, who had been the ruler, was practicing calligraphy, although he was over sixty years old, but this old Xiangguo was old and strong, with white beards on his face standing like thorns, wearing a dark coat, burly, which looked more like a hand holding a knife, and was holding a pen at the moment, giving people a feeling of overkill.

The tip of the pen falls on the paper, and the words written out have a kind of grim law, iron-faced selfless charm and artistic conception, with the increase of strokes, the atmosphere of the whole study room is gradually solemn, and the words on the paper are also formed one by one, and it can be seen that it is a sentence in writing "Meritorious Fame"——

Standing on the high mountain, it is near the stream of a thousand people.

It is about placing a one-foot-long piece of wood on a high mountain, and you can look down on a mountain stream thousands of feet deep.

The meaning of this sentence is not that the wood is high, but that the position it is located in is high, which means to take advantage of the situation.

"Oh?"

Han Yi, who was writing, suddenly sighed lightly, his eyelids jumped, the pen in his hand paused slightly, a line of words could not be written, and the strokes stopped on the word "Xi".

"Father, what's wrong?" In front of the desk, there was a middle-aged man, who was also tall, with a lofty instrument, exuding a noble aura on his body, and an aura lingering around his body, which was an aura that had been cultivated by his command for a long time.

This person is Han Yi's second son, Han Zhuo.

"Nothing. Han Yi put aside his pen and turned to look at his son, "I heard that Juyu recommended a young man to you and let you take the school exam, I don't know how." ”

Han Zhuo shook his head and said: "Ju Yu was deceived by that scholar, I met him yesterday and tried his talent ......" Speaking of this, he shook his head, "Who knows that the other party doesn't know anything at all, he is a person who doesn't learn and doesn't know anything, and when he leaves, he is even more rude, and he is panicked." I can't even settle my mind, and I don't know how Juyu was deceived by him. ”

"Ju Yu is my student, I know his temperament, and I will never do things that I am not sure of," Han Yi smiled faintly, "Since he recommended that scholar to you, he must have his intentions, you might as well recruit him into the mansion again, and re-examine the school, maybe you can gain something." ”

"This ......," Han Zhuo heard this. Although he didn't think so, he didn't dare to disobey his father, so he had to nod his head.

Han Yi waved his hand and said, "Okay, it's not easy for you to come back, let's go back first, after this painting is written, I will have someone send it to you." ”

"Yes. Han Zhuo nodded in acceptance, saluted and left respectfully.

Han Yi was the only one left in the study, and he first glanced at the unfinished words. Then he shook his head and shouted, "Wu Ying!"

The voice fell, the door was pushed open again, and an old servant entered. He bowed his head and said, "Master." ”

"Call Vile here, I have something to ask her. ”

The old servant nodded and left, and it wasn't long before the girl in the shirt pushed the door open. She walked lightly, as if there was wind under her feet, and in the blink of an eye, she reached Han Yi.

"Grandpa. You call me?" the girl looked at Han Yi with a smile on her face.

Han Yi nodded, and also showed a smile: "I came to you to ask you something." ”

"Oh, grandpa has something to ask me?" the girl's black and white eyes rolled slightly, "Well, let me guess first, hmm, I guess it has something to do with Daddy's calculations? yes or no?"

Han Yi nodded: "Yes, it is related to this matter, I heard that he gave Wenzong paperweight and the Northern Darkness Jade Basin to King Yan, but it was used to steal Wen Si, but someone told me that the thing is now in the hands of others?"

"Grandpa also knows Qiu Yan?" the girl looked surprised, and then said, "Daddy gave the paperweight and jade basin to King Na Yan, because he saw that he had some ambitions, but he could be edified, but I never thought that this person did not follow the right path, and he deserved to be taken away from the baby, and I have reported this matter to Daddy." ”

Han Yi waved his hand and said: "What your father has done, you don't need to tell me, as long as you don't violate the law of the country, I won't interfere, but if you violate the law, don't blame me for killing my relatives in righteousness." ”

The girl said coquettishly: "I knew you would say that, but I made a military order in front of my father to explain the truth of the matter to you." ”

Han Yi did not react.

The girl didn't care, but said: "Daddy set the sex for King Yan this time, just to take advantage of the situation, but he didn't expect that this King Yan looks like a mountain on weekdays, but in fact it is just a mound." ”

The girl said, took two steps forward, and showed a look of grievance: "Give him Wenzong paperweight, is to let him precipitate his mind and essence of knowledge, but he uses it to steal Wen Si; ”

"Okay, I already know. Han Yi nodded and didn't say anything more.

Seeing this, the girl also looked like she had finished her job, and her words changed: "Well, I know that grandpa loves me the most, by the way, you just mentioned Qiu Yan?"

"I don't know this Qiu Yan you said, you said this name yourself," Han Yi shook his head, "However, if the person who got the paperweight and the jade basin is this Qiu Yan, it means that this person is extraordinary, he is a person who can achieve things, if you are familiar with him, you can invite him, I want to meet him." ”

"Grandpa wants to see Qiu Yan?" the girl's eyes rolled again, with a curious expression, "You still praise him? I don't know what he did, he can actually alarm grandpa?"

"He just did what he had to do, but now in this world, there are not many people who know what they should do, so it seems extraordinary. Han Yi said, shaking his head, "Do you have a relationship with this person?"

"Yes!" the girl suddenly smiled, "Grandpa, just wait for my news." ”

..................

Here, Han Yi and his granddaughter were talking, and on the other side, after Han Zhuo left the study, he returned to his own courtyard, thinking about it and fidgeting, Zuihou summoned his henchman Han Fu.

"Second master, are you looking for me?" Han Fu hurriedly came, his eyebrows lowered.

Han Zhuo didn't go around in circles, and asked directly, "Where is the scholar who visited me before?"

"Ah, Second Master, are you talking about that little liar who doesn't learn and doesn't know how to do it?" Han Fu was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and was slightly uneasy, "What are you looking for him? This person doesn't know the etiquette, I have already let people blow him out." ”

"Blown away?" Han Zhuo frowned slightly, "Go and ask someone to get him back, I have something to ask him." ”

"This ......" Han Fu hesitated slightly. But he still responded, bowed and retreated.

After leaving the room, Han Fu was also a little unsettled.

"Why does the second master want to see that scholar again? This is not easy to do, but I have to threaten him first, and I can't tell him what happened before. ”

It turned out that when the scholar saw Han Zhuo, Zuihou made a fool of himself, and when Han Fu saw it, he insulted them, and they were subordinates. Usually nodding to the master of the house, but there are also times when the fox is fake and the tiger is powerful, he especially likes to show himself by insulting others, making himself appear powerful, the previous scholar has a meritorious reputation, insulting such a person, makes Han Fu extremely happy.

Who knew that although the scholar was disgraced, he still left a sentence of "thirty years in Hedong, thirty years in Hexi". Let Han Fu feel a little drumming in his heart, it has only been a long time, and things are about to change.

Thinking about it, Han Fu suddenly laughed: "I'm dizzy." That scholar has no talent to learn, even if he is the second master of zaijian, the result is the same, what is there to worry about?"

That's it. He was so determined that he beckoned the famous man Ding to come over and ordered, "You find two people." went to the street to find that Zhang Sheng, and the second master wanted to see him again. ”

The family took the order and left.

At the same time, Zhang Yingchao, the "Zhang Sheng" in Han Fu's mouth, was in a tavern, drinking with several difficult brothers.

The eastern capital is prosperous, but there are some taverns that ordinary people can afford.

"Brother Zhang, you better go quickly, the Han family is not small in the eastern capital, you are annoyed by the evil slaves of his family, it is inevitable that you will be hated by the other party, there is a way that the king of Hades is good, and the little ghosts are difficult, and this kind of domestic slaves and the like are the most retribution. ”

"Yes, I waited for this time to come to the Eastern Capital, but I came to the wrong place. ”

"Alas, who knew that there could be such a thing, ten years of hard study, and once lost. ”

......

Several Confucian scholars sat around a table, sighing, each of them showing a dead heart on their faces, exuding an atmosphere like mourning.

Syllable!

Suddenly, the scholar sitting inside raised his hand and slapped the table, his face full of unwillingness: "It must be because I was arrested and imprisoned in that Xuankou Town, I waited there to get married, count the time, and after passing the Xuankou Pass, I lost all my knowledge, this ......"

This person's eyebrows are clear, and his body faintly exudes the breath of a scroll, but at this moment he looks a little embarrassed, and his eyes are full of bloodshots.

Someone next to him immediately said: "Brother Zhang, who can believe this matter? Don't talk about others, even if I wait for myself, I feel weird." ”

The scholar with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes was Zhang Sheng and Zhang Yingchao, who had visited the Han Mansion before, but returned humiliated.

"We are conceited that we have learned something, but although we are literate now, we can't remember a word of the text, we can't read a sentence, and we can't write it, let alone ......try it in the future."

As he spoke, some Confucian scholars shed tears.

"Pity my lady, sewing shoes and mending clothes for me to buy books, finally got lifted, took all her savings and came to Dongdu to study, I wanted to repay her for her life of wealth, who would have thought that it would end up like this. ”

When he said this, others burst into tears.

"My old mother dragged the sick body ......"

"My father gets up early every day and is greedy for ......"

"My brother and sister-in-law......

Before the previous dynasty, the imperial examination was not prosperous, and the line was the nine-grade Zhongzheng system, the upper grade had no cold door, the lower grade had no family, and the grade of the person was only on the family, regardless of the talent, so the poor were just poor all their lives, and the rich and noble were rich and prolonged.

The imperial examination was carried out, and the humane reform was made.

Since the establishment of the imperial examination, it has become more and more perfect, and the children of ordinary families, as long as they are willing to work hard and have a little luck, can also succeed in the imperial examination and change the fate of a family and even a clan.

The imperial examination is actually a revolution of heaven and earth, and it entrusts countless people's wishes.

For example, this table of Confucian students took this as their thoughts, but they didn't expect to fly into trouble.

While everyone was talking sadly, a voice suddenly came from the side—

"Which one is Zhang Yingchao?" (to be continued......)
