The man put the dishes, chopsticks, porridge and side dishes on the square table, and said with a flattering smile: "Two sons, please use some of them, there are only these ready-made foods in the kitchen now." Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info When you wait for lunch, let the kitchen make some good ones and bring them to the two of you. ”

Lin Wan nodded with satisfaction and said, "These are very good, they are very suitable for the taste of this son." After a pause, he took out another ingot of silver from his sleeve and threw it to the man, and asked casually: "Little second brother, do you know which three people are in the head armor of Jinke?"

When the guy saw that there was another silver reward, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, and hurriedly replied respectfully: "If you go back to Gongzi, the top three in this branch are Xing Han Xing Gongzi of the Xing family in Shandong, He Shixiu He Gongzi of Jiangnan Academy, and Lin Qirui, the third son of Lin Xiangfu. ”

Lin Wan's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he stroked his palms and smiled: "Sure enough, it's him." His eyes looked at Tong Xinyan and raised his eyebrows, which means, you have guessed it again!

Tong Xinyan nodded amusedly, and couldn't help but secretly admire Lin Wan in her heart.

The guy thought that Lin Wan was talking about Xing Han, and immediately asked with surprise on his face: "The two sons are also surnamed Xing, and they are both from Shandong, could it be that they are from the same family as Xing Han and Xing Gongzi who won the first armor?"

Lin Wan nodded and said lightly: "Yes, Xing Han Xing Gongzi and the two of us are from the same clan." ”

When Lin Wan and the others came back last night, they had already explained their origin and family name to this guy, and registered them one by one for the government to verify in the future. I didn't expect this guy to have a good memory and remember it so clearly.

Lin Wan continued to ask: "How many candidates live in your champion building now, and how many of them have passed the exam today?"

The guy thought for a while and said, "If you go back to Gongzi, there are more than 200 rooms in our champion building, which will be full during the scientific examination every year, and some candidates will come, but because there is no room, they have to find another place to live." When Zhao Gongzi and Xing Dagongzi came last night, there were only the two most expensive rooms left in the backyard building. ”

Lin Wan nodded, and secretly said in his heart, it is indeed expensive, five hundred taels of silver a night, enough for ordinary people's families to live for several years.

The guy continued: "There are about thirty or forty people on the list today, and those who can come to live in the champion building are either somewhat sure or have wealthy families, so many of us will pass the exam every year in the champion building." This year, because only 100 people have been set up in the top three, there are not many people who have passed the exam. It's a pity that Xing Han and Xing Gongzi didn't come, otherwise our business in the Zhuangyuan Building will be better in the coming year. ”

Lin Wan smiled faintly and said, "You champion building can earn a lot of money every year just by relying on this scientific examination for a few months, aren't you still satisfied?"

The guy smiled, nodded again and again, and said, "Childe is right." ”

Lin Wan thought for a while and continued to ask, "The person who didn't pass the exam, is he leaving today?"

The guy immediately nodded and replied, "If you go back to Gongzi, most of the people who don't pass the exam will have to check out and leave this afternoon." ”

Lin Wan nodded slightly, and asked again: "What about the top three candidates in the exam?"

The guy replied respectfully: "If you return to Gongzi, it will be the same every year, if you pass the top three Jinshi, after receiving the order, you will go back to your hometown to wait for your life." The Jinshi who won the second class will stay in Beijing and wait for the will of the palace. The top three of the first armor will enter the palace three days later, and after the temple test, the champion, the list eye and the flower will be determined. ”

Lin Wan secretly paid attention to the guy's expression, changed his words, and asked tentatively: "I heard that Liu Yijun and Liu Gongzi, who lived here before, have a good chance of getting into the top three, didn't he even get the second grade?"

The guy hesitated a little, lowered his voice and said, "The government doesn't let this matter be publicized, but after the two sons came back yesterday, they have already begun to discuss this matter." Early this morning, someone from the government also came to ask questions. As he spoke, he put his hand to his mouth and said in a lower voice: "That Liu Gongzi was killed last night, and I heard that he also killed someone." ”

Lin Wan couldn't help but be stunned, the secret way is really a good thing not to go out, and bad things to spread thousands of miles. It must not be a secret that all the guys in this champion building know. frowned, and continued to inquire: "Little second brother, do you know what's going on?"

The guy shook his head again and again, and said, "I don't know, I just know that yesterday morning, after Liu Gongzi went out, he didn't come back." The official came to ask, and the little one said the same thing. ”

Lin Wan nodded and did not continue to ask. This young man is also an old man, he shouldn't say it, even if he knows it in his heart, he won't tell it.

The guy saw that Lin Wan had no problems, and said knowingly: "The two sons use it slowly, the younger one retreats first, and the small one is outside the door, and the two sons have something to order." ”

Lin Wan smiled and nodded, no longer speaking. picked up a bowl of porridge that Tong Xinyan helped her in front of her and ate it slowly.

But he secretly thought in his heart that this case was a big scandal in the capital, and the emperor would definitely let the officials who handled the errand try their best to cover it up, and he would definitely order the Criminal Department to close the case as soon as possible. This afternoon, there should be an official messenger who will come again to ask questions, and when they finish asking, they and others can "leave the capital" with those candidates from other places who have not yet taken the exam.

After breakfast, the three of them sat in the room and watched the excitement.

Every once in a while, the little father-in-law in the palace will come to report the good news, and the candidates who receive the good news will accept everyone's congratulations with a smile, and then quietly stuff the reward money to the father-in-law from the palace.

The Mu Gongzi that Lin Wan and others saw yesterday won the eleventh place in the exam, ranking among the top two, and he is currently the best one among the candidates downstairs.

Mu Gongzi's name is Mu Qiantou, who is also from Shanxi, and is a fellow villager with Liu Yijun. The Mu family and the Liu family are both big families in Shanxi, and this time they came to the scientific expedition, and the two of them were naturally more energetic. Originally, because Liu Yijun took refuge in the Liu family, he had the upper hand. However, now that Liu Yijun is dead, he can return to his hometown.

Looking at the various states of life in front of her, Lin Wan couldn't help but smile and sighed: "A long drought is full of nectar, meeting old acquaintances in a foreign land, spending candles in the cave room, and when the gold list is inscribed, this is the four great joys of life." But in the end, who can say whether it is joy or sorrow?"

Tong Xinyan shook her head with a chuckle, and said, "Where did Wan'er get so much emotion? Joy is joy, sadness is sadness, rejoicing for today's joy, don't be sad for tomorrow's sadness." If you are always sad about the misfortunes that may come in the future, then won't this life be so sad?"

When Lin Wan heard this, she couldn't help but smile and said, "Sister Tong is really a person with great wisdom. ”

Tong Xinyan glanced at Lin Wan and said with a smile: "Wan'er knows how to make fun of my sister, where do I have great wisdom, but I have experienced so many things and know how to comfort myself." ”
