If it weren't for Zhu Ying's jumping feet and making trouble, Zhang Shou felt that he might really be directly "detained" by Ge Yong in Ge Mansion.

Out of Ge's Mansion at this moment, Zhu Ying immediately asked curiously: "Ah Shou, what kind of cipher text did you say to Grandpa Ge, which can really convey very accurate information? For example, if I write a long letter of three or five hundred words, it may also be completely unreadable?"

"Of course, it is easy to write a letter that no one can understand with an arithmetic formula, and then add a thousand-word text. Zhang Shou smiled at Zhu Ying as he spoke, "If you're interested, you can give it a try when you go back." ”

"Forget it. Zhu Ying suddenly made a bitter face, "I have a headache as soon as I count the numbers, otherwise why do you think I kept hiding and not going to Cuiyun before? I'm afraid that those guys will ask me for help to solve the problem, and I will have to be forced to die at that time!"

Speaking of this, she said with her eyebrows fluttering again: "But I finally didn't come to see Grandpa Ge in vain, I got good things from him, Grandpa Ge's paintings are rare, and when you give them to your grandmother, she will be happy!"

The gift of offering flowers to the Buddha can really make the well-informed lady of the Zhao Guogong Mansion happy?

Zhang Shou muttered a little about Zhu Ying's confidence. However, thinking of the attitude of the lady when she sent someone to Rongshui Village to give gifts before, he couldn't help but have a hunch that even if he came to the door empty-handed today, people would not show any unhappy attitude.

Of course, what people think in their hearts, it's impossible to say.

Glancing at the sun, which was already gradually turning west, he couldn't help but say, "I have just been delayed for a long time, wouldn't it be disrespectful to go to see your grandmother again at this time?" Moreover, looking at this hour, I am afraid that I will have to move faster if I have to rush back tonight. Over there on Mishi Street, I don't know if they can go back today......"

Before Zhang Shou could finish speaking, Zhu Ying interrupted with a smile: "It's rare to enter Beijing, so it's okay to stay in the capital for a day! Zhu Hong is very proper, and he will definitely arrange everyone's place to stay." ”

Zhang Shou couldn't help but feel a little helpless when he saw Zhu Ying's face full of naturalness. Staying overnight in the capital, people need expenses, horses also need food, and there are more than a dozen people in the village, how much does this cost? If you encounter other wronged bosses, a treacherous and cunning guy like Yang Laoqi will definitely be able to kill people, but the Zhu family of Zhao Guogong is different.

"It's better to go and spread the word, and if they run out of what they brought, go back in a hurry. It is not easy to live in the capital, if you don't want to, you don't have to stay for one night. ”

Zhu Ying thought about it, and didn't say arrogantly that she invited someone to live in Zhao Guogong's mansion, or that she Miss Zhu herself was responsible for all the expenses of everyone in Beijing. Zhu Ying, who left Beijing, might have done this, but after staying in a small village for more than a month, and even experiencing a small-scale rebellion, she thought she had grown a lot.

Therefore, she finally nodded, pointed to a guard, and ordered someone to go to Mishi Street to spread the word. But as soon as the people left, she was about to urge Zhang Shou to go to the Zhao Guogong Mansion with her, but suddenly she only heard a sound of gongs and drums, followed by a very loud voice and shouted a sentence.

"Shuntianfu trial list!"

Zhang Shou suddenly said: "I have been busy for the past two days, and I actually forgot that Qi Liang went to Beijing to participate in the Shuntian Mansion Examination before, and he was still staying with Deng Xiaodao! By the way, how could the release of the government examination list be in the afternoon? Shouldn't this kind of thing that everyone is most concerned about be placed early in the morning?"

How can Zhu Ying know this, in terms of her background and status, the triennial examination may occasionally hear the news, and the Shuntianfu Township Examination is all forgotten, not to mention the lower-level county examination, the government examination, and being able to know the names of these exams is already the result of her reading with Ge Yong for two years.

So, without thinking about it, she immediately turned her head to look at the remaining guards behind her. As a result, under the unmistakable inquiring gaze of the eldest lady, there was only a unified answer that shook her head like a rattle. Everyone

Before Miss Zhu had time to get angry, Zhang Shou smiled and said: "I just asked casually, listening to this shouting, it seems to be just ahead, why don't we just go and take a look, and then no matter what the result of Xiao Qi is, go to the Zhao Guogong Mansion first, how about it?"

Although subconsciously, Zhu Ying prefers Zhang Shou to hurry up to see her grandmother - or rather, let her grandmother take a good look at Zhang Shou, and then she can take the opportunity to set up a so-called marriage contract.

Now, if she doesn't realize that this marriage since childhood is a bit strange, she will become a pig's brain - but she is also very curious about whether Qi Liang, who Zhang Shou has taught for three years, can pass the government exam.

Therefore, after only a little hesitation, the eldest lady nodded briskly and said, "Okay, let's go and see the government trial list first!"

Zhang Shou entered the inner city from Chongwen Gate before, and then Yang Laoqi and others followed Zhu Hong to Mishi Street near Chaoyang Gate in Dongcheng, and he followed Zhu Ying to visit Gefu near Dongzhimen Street.

Just as Zhang Shou had doubts before, many people gathered from all over the world to see the list, and many of them were shouting why the time of the trial release of the list was different from previous years, but when the long list came out, no one would have the time to worry about this little problem.

And Zhang Shou found that he couldn't squeeze into the flow of people on the third and outer three floors there, let alone look for Qi Liang in the list full of hundreds of names written densely packed with eyes. With a headache, he turned around and was about to ask the guards of the Zhao Guogong Mansion for help, but he saw Ah Liu dismount without saying a word, and then squeezed straight into the crowd.

Zhang Shou, who was riding on the horse, couldn't see how hard Ah Liu was at all, so he saw that every time the crowd surging around, Ah Liu could naturally take two steps forward, not so much squeezing in by himself, but being automatically squeezed in. Eventually, the man appeared in the first row.

Knowing that Ah Liu would definitely be able to bring back the results, Zhang Shou breathed a sigh of relief, but immediately after, he heard two voices that sounded almost at the same time: "Little sir!"

When he saw Qi Liang and Deng Xiaodao flying one after the other, he first bowed when he came to him, and then as if he had just seen Zhu Ying, he hurriedly went to see the eldest lady again, and Zhang Shou was suddenly happy.

However, Ah Liu is not here, and it is not a very easy task for him to get off the horse quickly, so Zhang Shou did not dismount, but nodded at the two of them on horseback, and then joked with a smile: "Why, the building near the water gets the moon first, Derpy, you couldn't help Xiao Qi get the results in advance?"

"I'm a white-clothed Lingshi, how can I help Xiao Qi hear this. ”

Deng Xiaodao scratched his head, and then lowered his voice and said: "Mr. Xiao, this time it is Song Tui's official recommendation, and Wang Fu Yin personally won the general comment, which has been delayed for several days, and the list was not released until this evening." I inquired from my uncle that Wang Fuyin also specially picked Xiao Qi's scroll to read. ”

Zhu Ying suddenly interjected: "Isn't this a good thing? Even if you don't get it, everyone can't ask for it if you can let Master Yin of the dignified mansion look at your own papers! Besides, you two are now considered Ge's disciples!"

Of course, Deng Xiaodao knew that Ge Yong had accepted Zhang Shou as a closed disciple, after all, he had been caught up in advance and sneaked to Lord Yin and the legendary emperor, and asked a lot of questions, almost not scared to death. But because of this, he only felt in the mood at this time.

"Little sir, Xiao Qi won't go wrong in this exam, right?"

Zhang Shou didn't expect Qi Liang to pass the government exam in one fell swoop, but when he heard Deng Xiaodao reveal this inside information, he felt even more uncertain. At this moment, he suddenly saw that Ah Liu, just like when he went, had squeezed out of the crowd lightly and skillfully. When he came to everyone, Ah Liu glanced at Qi Liang, and then he said a sentence like gold.

"Xiao Qi took the seventh exam. ”
