Chapter 83
As soon as the list of Zhongjin Shi was announced, it was naturally a group of people who cried and laughed, and it was He Qingzhou of Qiao County who won the first place, a son of the Hanmen, and the second place was Jian Mu, a descendant of the Jian family in Lu County, the Jian family is a big family in Lu County, with a deep heritage and a big family that has been inherited for hundreds of years, and the third place is Cheng Xu of Qinzhou, and the Cheng family is also a big family.
In the Qinzheng Palace, there was a stack of question paper on the table, Mo Yan read all the answer articles of Enke Jinshi, put the question paper back on the table, took a sip of the teacup at the corner of the table, and sighed lightly, the family still has its own advantages in cultivating talents, this time four-fifths of the people in Enkede Zhongjinshi are from the family, and only one-fifth of the people in the poor family, if it weren't for the first name He Qingzhou is also from the poor family, this result is too ugly.
In the past, because the children of the poor family had no way to serve the country as officials after studying, many people did not want to read more poetry or books, or did not read at all.
However, now that the imperial court has set up a Jinshi department, you can pass the guò branch to list the officials, and since then, it has soared, and I believe that more and more people are willing to read poetry and books in the future, and the proportion of children from the poor family on the roster will also increase.
There are no staggered forces behind these poor children, and they don't have to worry about whose interests are involved, their power is given by the emperor, and they can only be attached to the emperor, and they really obey the emperor's orders, and they are more dedicated to doing things and using them more at ease.
Moon Shadow came in with a letter, and when she saw that Mo Yan had stopped looking at the inscription, she stepped forward and handed the letter over: "Niangniang, there is a letter from yours here." ”
Mo Yan took the letter and looked at the inscription outside, which read: Yousi Mo Yan personally opened. I couldn't tell who sent it, Mo Yan looked up and asked, "Do you know who sent it?"
"It was said that it was sent from the feudal country, and the others were gone. Moon Shadow replied.
Could it be a letter sent by Bai Lan? The only person she knew was Bai Lan, and when she thought of this, she was overjoyed, and opened the wax on the envelope to see what was written inside.
She smiled and pulled out the paper inside, opened it to watch, and began to look at it with a smile on the corner of her mouth, and gradually put away the smile on the corner of her mouth.
After reading it, Moon Shadow smiled and asked, "Is it a letter sent by Bai Gongzi?"
"Yes!" Mo Yan agreed softly, and pulled out a stiff smile, "He sent it." ”
"Did he say anything?" Moonshadow continued.
"I didn't say anything, I just said some trivial things in life, and said that he was very good in the country, so we don't have to worry about it. Mo Yan said as he folded the paper and put it back in the envelope.
"Bai Gongzi is the prince of the feudal country, and he will not be bad if he wants to come. Moon Shadow smiled in agreement.
"I'm a little hungry, Moon Shadow, you go to the Imperial Kitchen Division to get some pastries. Mo Yan diverted the topic and instructed her.
After the Moon Shadow was gone, she took out the letter and read it again, although there was no expression on her face, but her heart was already turbulent.
Bai Lan's letter was indeed mentioned in some ordinary little things, nothing strange, but he mentioned at the end of the letter that he had not sent her a letter before, nor had he sent an antidote, and he did send someone to find the antidote to the Burning Blood Gu for her after returning to China, but it was a pity that he didn't find it, and he was relieved to learn that she had been detoxified.
If he had never sent a letter, how did she come up with her antidote?
Yes, the letter, she still received the letter last time, it was in the Golden Phoenix Palace, she was going to take a look, thinking of this, she stood up and hurriedly left and walked towards the Golden Phoenix Palace.
Moon Shadow entered the hall with the pastry, "Niangniang, the pastry is here." I didn't see Mo Yan, I looked around, and said to myself: "It's strange, why don't you see anyone?" When she saw the little palace maid next to her, she asked, "Do you know where Niangniang went?"
The little palace maid made a compilation and said: "Back to the girl, the mother just left in a hurry, and the slave doesn't know where the mother went?"
Mo Yan entered the Golden Phoenix Palace and rummaged through the bookshelf behind the desk, and after getting the letter, he eagerly opened it and put it on the table, and then opened the letter he received now and put it on the table for comparison, the handwriting of the two letters was really different.
Now that this letter was sent by Bai Lan, who sent it before? She took the letter in her hand and examined it, trying to see if she could see the flaws.
She remembered that it was Li Fu who delivered the letter to her at that time, and it was Li Fu who said that it was a letter sent by Bai Lan, and he happened to come to Jinfeng Palace, so he brought it with him.
Was it really sent from outside, and he just brought it, or did he deceive himself? She first went to the palace to manage the correspondence office to see if there was a record of the letter, and all the letters handled from there would be recorded, and as long as she looked through the records, she would know whether what Li Fu said was true.
Thinking of this, she folded the letter and took it with her, and went to the letter office again.
The Letters Department was rarely visited, and it was deserted with only two recorded documents, and then there was a room full of bookshelves full of documents.
A clerk glanced at Mo Yan at the door, and continued to flip through the scroll in his hand indifferently, and then suddenly remembered something, and knelt on the ground in panic to ask for peace, "The slave swims three thousand, Liu Wen visits the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother Wan'an." The other man hurriedly followed him and said hello, and in a panic knocked the scroll on the table to the ground.
"Excuse me!" Mo Yan waved his hand to signal them to get up, walked into the room, stood in front of them, looked around, and asked, "What about people?
The clerk who saw Mo Yan first, You Sanqian, replied: "Tell the Queen Mother, the people in the letter office have gone to the head of each department to send letters, and only the two of us are left in the office to sort out the files." ”
Mo Yan walked to the front seat and sat down, "The mourning family asks you, there was a letter sent to the mourning family from Fengguo to the mourning family in the winter moon last year, and the mourning family wants to see if you have any records here." ”
"The letter sent from the feudal country in the winter moon last year has not been seen by the minions. He looked at Mo Yan's face because of his words, and immediately added: "It may also be that the slave has a mistake, everything that is handled in the letter office has been recorded, and the slave will let people see the record." As he spoke, he glanced at Liu Wen next to him.
Liu Wen immediately went to the bookshelf to rummage, and soon took out the file that recorded last year's winter moon, took it in his hand and flipped through it, he showed doubts after flipping through it, and flipped through it from the beginning, there was still no record of the letter Mo Yan said, he looked at You Sanqian and shook his head gently.
After getting the exact answer, You Sanqian replied: "Back to the Empress Dowager's words, the letter office has indeed not handled the letter you said. After thinking about it, he boldly asked, "I don't know who sent the letter?" The people and servants of this letter are all acquainted, and you can ask him to find out the ins and outs. ”
"No need, since there is no record, the mourning family will leave. Mo Yan got up and left as he spoke, You Sanqian and Liu Wen knelt down, until they couldn't see her, they glanced at each other, and they both saw doubts in each other's eyes, You Sanqian shook his head lightly, saying not to ask, Liu Wen swallowed back what he wanted to ask, and the two got up.
