Li Quzhi exclaimed: "Brother Changchang! ”

Qin Minye was sweating profusely, and Qu Changjiu, who was pale and glazed, squeezed out of the crowd on his back, and next to him was Qi Ziyang, who had a serious face.

Several talented candidates from Qujia Village had different expressions and followed behind the three of them.

Li Yunxiao asked worriedly, "Brother Ye, what's wrong with my uncle?" ”

Qin Minye shook his head and sighed, "There are too many people here, let's talk about it when we go home." ”

Li Quzhi thought that more than a dozen candidates in the same field had vomited and fainted in the past two days, and asked, "Brother Changchang, are you in a coma?" ”

Qu Changjiu seemed to be a few years older, the whites of his eyes were bloodshot, his eyes didn't turn a little, his chapped lips were open, and he couldn't say a word.

"How did you do on the exam?" He Yiyang asked Lin Hai to walk slower, and asked Qi Ziyang and the candidates in Qujia Village one by one.

"Before the exam, Minye and I did all the exam papers of the upper realm and the previous dynasty, and there was a special guidance from the teacher, and this response will be on the list." Qi Ziyang nodded very confidently.

For the convenience of the scientific expedition and also to avoid suspicion, Qi Ziyang's biological father, the governor of Hubei Province, specially transferred his household registration to Tanzhou and participated in the scientific expedition in Hunan Province.

Qu Dingshan and Qu Dinglin nodded slightly, and the rest of the candidates in Qujia Village just smiled bitterly.

Everyone took the carriage to the Li Mansion of Tanzhou Academy according to the agreement.

The Ming family, Qin Yue, He Huishu, the twin sons, the Deng family, the old patriarch, and Qu Shun are all looking at the Li Mansion.

Some servants had already entered the hall to report, except for the Ming clan and the old patriarch, they all went to the gate to greet them.

Everyone got out of the carriage and was very excited, but Qu Chang seemed to have a serious illness, and he couldn't even walk, and was carried by the slave to the hall and collapsed on the seat.

Deng was full of hope that he could see his only son return triumphantly, but unexpectedly, it was this picture of a declining soldier, holding Qu Chang's slightly cold hand, and couldn't help crying: "My son, what's the matter with you, you have become like this? ”

Qu Changjiu didn't speak all the way, until now he saw Deng's tearful face, hugged his head with shame and cried: "Mother, my son failed the exam this time, I'm sorry for you and my father." ”

Everyone looked at the mother and son and cried, and they were very sympathetic.

Li Jingjing asked: "Uncle, the list has not been posted yet, how do you know that you have failed the test?" ”

Qu shook his head for a long time and did not answer.

Qin Minye said dryly: "The examiner looked at Uncle Qu's paper and said something when he was on patrol. ”

Qu asked anxiously, "What did the examiner say?" ”

Qi Ziyang stepped forward and said, "Grandma Li, Minye is sitting far away from Uncle Qu, and I am sitting in the examination room next to Uncle Qu. Here's the thing, in the past two days, the examiner has come to inspect every session and look through the papers that the candidates have written and put aside. Uncle Qu's words are good, which attracted the attention of the examiner. ”

He Yiyang was puzzled: "It's a good thing that the words are good." ”

Qi Ziyang sighed lightly and said, "The first test is poetry, and after the examiner picked up Uncle Qu's paper and read it, he said a few words that were very demoralizing. ”

He bowed his head and said nothing.

She has heard the poems that Qu has made for a long time, and she is not even as good as the poems she made when she first joined Li Yunxiao when she was five years old.

It is conceivable that the examiner saw that Qu Changchang, who could write such beautiful words, actually made poems without a level, and his mood was very different, and what he said was naturally ugly.

Deng wiped his tears and asked, "We haven't done well in poetry for a long time, don't we still have that strategy?" ”

Qi Ziyang glanced at Qu Changchang, who was sitting on the chair with his head lowered and almost next to his legs, and said softly: "The second test is strategy, the examiner walked to our row, from left to right, the eighteen candidates' papers were read, nodded or shook their heads, and when they arrived at Uncle Qu, they called Uncle Qu up, and asked more than a dozen very embarrassing questions in a row, until Uncle Qu was about to faint before leaving. ”

Qu Shi said angrily: "For a long time, what did he ask you?" ”

Qu Changjiu shook his head and cried: "Auntie, I am a waste, I shouldn't go to school, I took up the place in the academy given by your family in vain, I am sorry for you, and I am even more sorry for my father." ”

He Huishu beckoned Qin Minye, listened to him whisper a few words, frowned, and said, "How can anyone be the chief examiner like this, he actually asks such a thing to leave the cabinet." ”

He asked, "What exactly is asked?" ”

He Huishu said softly: "The chief examiner doubts Brother Qu's talent and fame. ”

After hearing this, He Shi stopped asking.

Three years ago, the Qu clan ran a school, and the former Tan Governor Shi reported the matter to the former governor of Hunan Province, and specially approved a few Xiucai places in Liuyang County.

Now the former governor of Tan and the governor of Hunan Province have all been beheaded.

The examiner must have suspected that Qu had bribed the former Governor of Tan for a long time, so that he was famous, and he looked down on him from the bottom of his heart, and spoke mercilessly.

The two slaves helped Qu Chang, who was weeping bitterly, to the guest room to rest.

Deng looked at the candidates in the hall, all of them were many years younger than Qu Changchang, Qin Minye, Li Quzhi, and Qi Ziyang were all young enough to be Qu Changchang's sons, and they couldn't tell the pain in their hearts.

Qu Duo came to Li's Mansion directly after school, and learned that Deng and Qu Changjiu had returned to Qu Mansion, and felt that the situation was not good, and when he returned home, he heard Deng and Qu Changjiu's crying, and was startled.

Xiao Deng greeted his two sons with a sad face, shook his head and said, "Daddy didn't do well in the exam." Go and comfort him. ”

Xiao Deng has always been angry that Qu Duo did not participate in this year's scientific examination, and now seeing Qu returning from a long fiasco, he has an indescribable feeling in his heart, if Qu Duo can take the scientific examination this year, will he also be poor?

Qu Duo walked to the hall and saw that the mother and son were crying with red and swollen eyes and out of breath, so they were busy persuading each other.

Deng Shi came to his senses and said to Qu Duo vigorously: "Your father will never take the test again, what a man, our Qu family will rely on you." You must let grandma see you in your lifetime! ”

Qu Changjiu cried with tears and snot: "What a man, my father can't do it, and the family will rely on you to gain fame." You've got to read well. ”

Qu Duo's homework is a little bit better than Qu Changchang, and it is not much better, and he suddenly feels pressured.

Ten days later, the official list was posted, and thousands of students, relatives and friends came to watch the list, and there were more people than on the day the exam ended.

Li Quzhi took the top spot in the Tanzhou Chengfu County test list, and Liu Feng ranked fifth from the bottom on the list.

Hunan Provincial Government Test List: First Qin Minye, Fourth Qi Ziyang, 23rd Qu Dingshan, 26th Qin Er, 32nd Qu Dinglin.

Qu Changchang and the four talents of the Qu family are not on the list.

The results were similar to what everyone predicted when they finished the exam.

Li Quzhi and Qin Minye repeatedly confirmed the first place on the list, and they were very happy, and they all laughed out loud.

Qi Ziyang is also very satisfied with this result.

Qu Dingshan and Qu Dinglin looked at each other, and they both saw a strong sense of joy and firmness.

Liu Feng is only eleven years old this year, he has just entered Tanzhou Academy, and he came to participate in the scientific examination with the attitude of trying.

At this moment, suddenly more than a dozen men and women screamed and cried in the distance, "Help! "It hurts!" "Maniac bites!" "The wolf has bitten people to death!"

There was a riot in the distance, and people fled in all directions.

Qin Minye was armed with martial arts, and he was a master of art and bold, and rushed forward against the flow of fleeing people.

"Minye, danger, don't go!" Li Qu's illness couldn't stop Qin Minye, he could only shout the name of his entourage loudly, "Go and stop him, don't let him have the slightest mistake." ”

Qi Ziyang caught up with Qin Minye and shouted, "Why don't you wait for me?" ”

Qin Minye said loudly: "You're not chasing after you. ”

A middle-aged male madman wearing a thin shirt and thinning into a bamboo pole with a big gray-and-white dog that looks like a wolf stands half a foot tall and bites people whenever they meet.

In a matter of moments, more than a dozen people had been bitten down, and the two most serious teenagers were lying on the ground, with bright red blood on their necks, their limbs twitching, and they were about to die.

"Stun the madman!"

"Beat the wolf to death!"

A few students easily knocked the male madman bigger than a cow to the ground with their bare hands and knocked him unconscious, so they went to fight the big dog that kept roaring and wanted to pounce.

"It hurts me!"

"Dead dogs, such sharp teeth!"

The big dog bit the legs of the two students and barked wildly and pounced on a square-faced student who was holding the male madman.

When the five officers and men closest to the station heard the news, they rushed to cut off the head of the big dog with their knives, but the big dog dodged and bit the officer's calf, and the two officers and men shouted and ran to cut the big dog with a knife.

The big dog is sensitive to all of them, and if it is not for the arrest of the owner, he will be able to escape easily.

Five officers and soldiers joined forces with a few students, not to mention killing this vicious big dog, they couldn't even catch it.

Qin Minye and Qi Ziyang took a few zhang of cloth from the shop next to them, unfolded the cloth and covered it on the big dog that jumped up and down, wrapped it inside, and snatched the knives of the officers and soldiers and hacked it to death.

When the riot ended, everyone was shocked and gathered around the corpse of the big dog to talk about it.

"The dog is a good dog, more vicious than a wolf, and very protective of the master, but the owner is crazy, and he actually ordered it to bite people, and killed it alive."

Someone said, "Bury it alive." Immediately he was reviled by many people.

"It has bitten so many people, and two teenagers who have just been lifted are going to be bitten to death by it, such a vicious dog, how can it be treated like a righteous dog?"

Li went to the hospital station far away, and after Qin Minye and Qi Ziyang saw the patient, they ran back with anxious faces.

Qin Minye said hurriedly: "Little uncle, the two teenagers who were bitten into serious injuries and dying were both lifted people who won the list, and they were also students of the academy. ”

Qi Ziyang said in a deep voice: "Little uncle, although they are not friends between me and Minye, they are also classmates. ”

Li Quzhi was frightened, the joy just now was gone, and he shook his head and said, "How could such a thing happen?" ”

The army on the list is under the direct management of Hunan Province, and they have encountered similar situations and have experience.

"Hurry up and send all the injured to the nearest Tai Hospital in Hunan Province."

"Go and report to the Governor and the Governor."

"Take away the corpse of the vicious dog and the murderer."

When Qin Minye and Qi Ziyang dragged Li to the scene of the incident, the dog, the murderer, the injured, and the officers and soldiers were all gone, and there were a few pools of blood on the ground and a place of gray-white dog hair.

Li Qu was sick and said, "Everyone in the family is waiting for the letter." Let's go home. ”

The weather is clear, the sky is cloudless, the sun is shining, and it is rare that there is no spring rain. A group of children arguing came from a classroom at Tanzhou Academy.

Originally, the students of the college were divided into classes according to their age and academic year.

Students under the age of 10 are all in the same class, and there are more than 100 students in total.

Li Yunxiao, He Yiyang, Hong Zhiyuan, the seventh young master of the Dong family and others are all together.

Since ancient times, the students of the academy have been divided into three factions, the academy faction, the famous sect, and the poor sect.

More than 100 students under the age of 10 are also divided into these three factions.

Li Yunxiao's father is Li Laoshi, and He Yiyang lives in the Li Mansion, so he and his friends have become the academy faction.

Hao Ye's great-grandson Hao Chao and the children of famous families in Hunan Province are famous sects.

Qin Shanyi, who was admitted to the academy last autumn, was naturally a member of the Hanmen faction.

Today, the list was released, and the academy had already sent someone to copy the list and post it back to the gate, and the three primary school students were blushing and arguing about which faction had the most people on the list.

Li Yunxiao's face flushed, and he said loudly: "Li Quai's illness is my in-law's little uncle." Qin Minye is my cousin. They are all ranked first, and they belong to our academy faction. ”

He Yiyang raised his delicate eyebrows and said mockingly: "You can't compare to our academy faction, so you can cheat? It was an eye-opener. ”

The primary school students of the academy school used to have an elegant style, but since Li Yunxiao and He Yiyang came, one has a loud voice and is very stubborn, and a harsh and harsh speech can kill people's popularity, and the style of the academy school has completely changed.

Hao Chao glared and shouted: "Senior Qin's family has no one in the academy, he is obviously from our famous sect. After speaking, he glanced at Qin Shanyi.

Qin Shanyi would not be deceived into helping a famous sect, and shook his head and said to a few students from the cold sect next to him: "That's right." How can Senior Qin be regarded as a member of the academy faction, to say that he is also from our humble sect. ”

Li Yunxiao covered his mouth and laughed, shook his head and said, "It's really a big joke." How can Brother Ye be from your humble sect? ”

Qin Shan recalled and said seriously: "Don't say Senior Qin, even Senior Li is from our humble sect." What do the Qin family and the Li family do for more than three generations, and what are the two families not from the cold family? ”

Li Yunxiao didn't feel inferior because he was from a poor family, so he spread his hands and said, "Okay." According to what you say, five hundred years ago, everyone was from a humble sect. This time, your poor sect has won. ”

Hao Chao learned Hao Ye's old-fashioned tone, waved his hand, and said, "That's it." The sons of the world have all admitted defeat. We also throw in the towel. ”

He Yiyang looked around at Qin Shanyi and the others who were laughing, and sneered coldly: "It's the people on the list who win, not you." Look at all of you, you don't know what your surname is. ”

"Tomorrow, Dr. Li's class test, let's compare the high and low." Li Yunxiao finished speaking, and He Yiyang gave him a look.

He Yiyang comprehended and said loudly: "The latter one let's compare archery and throwing, which faction loses, which faction learns to bark." ”

Hong Zhiyuan took a step forward, his voice was immature, and he said confidently: "The big queen has three factions to compete with piano skills." ”

His piano skills were passed down by Dr. Hung himself, not to mention that he was in the academy, and even among the children under the age of ten in the entire Ding Dynasty, he could rank among the top ten.

The seventh young master of the Dong family's fat little hand patted Qin Shanyi's thin little shoulder, waved at Hao Chao again, and said with a smile: "I'm free every day, who will you send to ride a horse with me?" ”

The elementary school students of the academy sent out a cheering sound of "oh oh" in unison.

Hao Chao said to the others: "Compare is compare." My great-grandfather said that the eldest husband is not afraid of losing, but he is afraid that he cannot afford to lose. ”

After Qin Shanyi discussed with the Hanmen sect junior students behind him, he asked, "What is the comparison, is it a comparison of how many people are sent, or is everyone compared?" ”

"This time, four people will be sent to compete." Li Yunxiao had already discussed it carefully with He Yiyang, and the primary school students of the academy faction had the strongest comprehensive strength, and they would win no matter how they compared.

Hao Chao nodded and said, "Okay." Four is four. ”

Qin Shanyi said very magnificently: "What's the point of comparing it like this, you have to have some color." ”

He Yiyang snorted coldly and said, "You are worthy of being a businessman, and you think about copper coins all the time." ”

Qin Shanyi retorted: "What about being born in a business, it's not like being admitted to the academy with you?" ”

He Yiyang sneered: "You are rich, are the people of the Hanmen faction rich?" ”

Qin Shanyi said heroically: "If you lose, I will take it for them, and if you win, they will take it." ”

He Yiyang's eyes were even more disdainful, and he said, "Take your family's money and spend it everywhere!" ”

Qin Shanyi smiled: "You are wrong. I earn my money. ”

Li Yunxiao was busy and whispered in He Yiyang's ear: "Little fat man, he used the New Year's money to buy a lot of fruit mountains, specializing in growing premium mandarins. The tangerines that our family eats for the New Year are sent by him to his father. ”

He Yiyang glared and said: "I will buy hundreds of fruit mountains tomorrow, plant orange trees and sell mandarins, and the value is even lower than his!" ”

Qin Shanyi immediately looked over nervously.

"Don't." Li Yunxiao stretched out his hand and tugged at He Yiyang's sleeve, shook his head and said, "We are all friends at the same table in the same academy." ”

He Yiyang waved his hand and said, "Okay." I'll let him go. ”

Qin Shanyi wanted to say thank you, but He Yiyang's words "let him go" really made people feel uncomfortable, so he didn't say anything.

The children scattered and learned. Li Yunxiao and He Yiyang hurriedly returned to the Li Mansion, and saw that there were officials beating gongs and drums with good news outside the palace gate, the academy specially arranged for more than a dozen handymen to dance dragons and lions, and dozens of children who had not gone to the academy to study sat on the shoulders of the slaves and applauded and watched.

Several slaves and maidservants of the Li Mansion carried out baskets of copper coins, ten copper and iron skewers, and were distributing happy money to the children and their slaves who came to congratulate the joyful people.

Li Yunxiao's little face was full of surprise, and he asked proudly, "Is the little uncle back?" ”

Li Li's eyes flashed with a strange light, with a smile on his face, he didn't seem so murderous, and said with a smile: "If you go back to the second young master, the second master hasn't come back yet, and the people from the government who report the good news will arrive first." ”

He Yiyang followed Li Yunxiao into the Li Mansion amid the deafening sound of firecrackers, gongs and drums, and his heart was also overjoyed, as if Li Quai's illness was his in-law's little uncle, which was very glorious.

Li Yunxiao's eyes were big and bright, he giggled, and said loudly: "Sister, the little uncle took the first exam, and the elder brother also took the first exam!" Our family has two firsts! ”

Li Jingjing did not forget to spur Li Yunxiao, raised her eyebrows and said, "I'll wait to see if you take the first exam?" ”

Li Yunxiao said modestly: "First, I don't dare to guarantee that the top ten are a matter of being caught." ”

He Yiyang patted Li Yunxiao on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Little fat man, three years later, I will participate in the scientific examination with you, and we will cover the first and second places, and make the famous and poor sects angry to death!" ”

Li Jingjing grimaced and said disdainfully: "You guys just brag!" ”

He was talking excitedly to He Huishu, and when he heard He Yiyang's words, he immediately said in a loud voice: "Yanglang, you and Xiaolang are not participating in the scientific examination to anger anyone, but to confirm their own ability, and they have not studied for a few years in vain, and they have won glory for their family." ”

He Yi raised his heart and said: My family doesn't care as much about whether I have a reputation or not.

He didn't want to go against He's wishes, so he nodded obediently: "Yes." ”

He Huishu said in a low voice: "Yang Lang is staying in your mansion, but it is much better than when he first came. ”

He saw the dragon and phoenix twins playing with He Yiyang outside the courtyard, and said with a smile: "There is too much anger in his temperament, and he needs to be taught well." ”

He Huishu asked tentatively: "My little Jingniang is already seven years old, it's not good to play with Yang Lang anymore?" ”

"They all grew up together, and they are all simple-minded children, so it doesn't matter." He quickly glanced at Qu's who was telling jokes to Ming, and said in a low voice: "Before my father left, he specially said that Jing Niang's family affairs would be decided by him, I don't know if he already had a candidate in his heart, or he wanted to wait until Jing Niang was older and our family went to Chang'an." ”

He Huishu hurriedly said: "Ye Lang has made up his mind about my little Jing Niang, and he is studying harder than before, and this time he took the first place in the government examination, and the ranking of the general examination and the palace examination in three years will not be bad." ”

He said with a smile: "Ye Lang is an excellent one, he took the first exam to fight for you." You're the real sight this time! ”

He Huishu smiled, nodded proudly, and said, "Yelang has never let me down. ”

As he was talking, there was a commotion outside, and the two teenagers who had won the first place entered the hall hand in hand.

For a while, laughter shook the sky, everyone was jubilant, and the two families congratulated each other.

Qu suddenly seemed to be a few years younger. Ming's wrinkles looked like they were missing a few.

Qin Minye sat for a while, and as soon as the topic changed, he talked about two young students from the academy who were seriously injured by vicious dogs.

Qu said quietly: "Disasters fell from the sky, and their relatives' great joy turned into great sorrow, how could they withstand such a blow." ”

Qin Minye shook his head and said, "I don't know if the chief physician and pharmacist of the Imperial Medical Department can treat them well." ”

Li Yunxiao raised his little head and asked, "Even if they are classmates, not bad people, why don't you bring them back and send them to my sister's pharmacy for treatment?" ”

Li Quzhi sighed lightly, looked ashamed, and said, "I just hesitated, and if I went a little late, they were all carried away by the officers and soldiers." ”

Li Jingjing saw that the atmosphere was a little dull, so she said, "The medical skills of Doctor Hong of the Imperial Medical Department are also good. Don't worry about it. ”

Qu couldn't help but ask: "Go to the sick, is there your long-term brother's name on the list?" ”

Qu Changjiu has been sick for ten days since he got out of the examination room.

Li Jingjing had already sent him medicine. He had a heart disease, and even if he took the medicine of the Aphrodisiac Mansion, he would not get better.

Li Quzhi bowed his head and said: "I deliberately took a look, and let Min Ye and Ziyang follow to see it, but I didn't see the name of my elder brother for a long time." He raised his head again and said with a smile: "Dingshan and Dinglin have passed the examination." ”

Qu was very depressed at first, and then heard that Qu Shun's two sons had passed the exam, and nodded and said, "There are finally two people in the clan. What a joyous event. "This is no longer a reference to the long-term thing.

At dusk, Li Laoshi from the academy and Qin Yue from the military camp arrived at the Li Mansion one after another, and they were very happy to learn the good news.

Qin Yue hugged his two younger sons who had just learned to spit and bubble, and taught in a rough voice: "Your eldest brother is an excellent one, you will take the first place like him when you grow up!" ”

He Huishu smiled: "That's right, but they have to be able to understand it." ”

Li Jingjing looked at the little white bear and little black bear cousin, who were bigger than babies of the same age just a few months after birth, and thought that her mother would give birth to a little brother and little sister in a few months, and she was full of anticipation and joy.

In the evening, the slave sent out by the Li Mansion to inquire brought back the news, "Back to my masters, the male madman who instructed the big dog to bite people was originally from a famous family, and he was still a famous talent. ”

It turned out that the male madman was imprisoned by officers and soldiers, and he couldn't ask anything serious when asked.

The officers and soldiers went to inquire around, only to learn that the male madman once came from a famous family in Hunan Province, and was recommended by his family three years ago to directly have a talent show, and then participated in the spring scientific examination to raise people.

Unexpectedly, he was framed by his friend for cheating during the exam.

At that time, he was the former governor of Hunan Province as the chief examiner, and before he found out the truth, in addition to his talent and fame, he was sentenced to not be able to participate in the scientific examination in this life.

The former governor of Hunan Province is dead, and the case that was misjudged during his lifetime is not only this one, but he is not alone.

His family was discredited and he was removed.

In order not to implicate the child, his wife could only reconcile and remarry him.

His wife is an understanding person, and she married directly to another place, so that his femme fatale friend can't be found.

He didn't know when he went insane and went crazy, only the big dog never left his company.

And they said that there must be something hateful about the wretched. This madman knew that his friend was giving birth to his wife's beauty, but he was still in contact with him for the sake of being cheap for his friend, which caused him to be framed by his friend in the examination room and couldn't explain it.

"The male madman took a vicious dog and committed murder, biting seven candidates and six civilians, two of whom were seriously injured and dying in the middle of a lift, causing panic among the people. The madman has been sentenced to death by the Governor, and will be executed tomorrow. ”

Li Yunxiao couldn't wait to ask, "How are the two new imperial examination patients in our academy doing?" ”

"Second young master, two new imperial examination people and slightly injured patients were sent by the officers and soldiers to the Tai Hospital in Hunan Province Tai Medical Department for medical treatment, where Doctor Hong only accepted patients with minor injuries, and they were sent to Qingyunguan by Governor Shi of Tan, who rushed over, and invited Doctor Wang of the academy over."

"Several great doctors and Wang Da Doctors in the temple are very skilled in their medical skills, and there are Guangmingzi Daoist pharmacists, who will definitely be able to save them." When everyone heard this, they were relieved.

I thought that this matter would be over, but who knew that after more than ten days, in the middle of a drizzly night, the closed door of the Li Mansion was slammed by several men.

"Master Li, I'm Dean Hu of the academy, I have something urgent to see you, please open the door quickly."

------Off topic------

In the past few days, I have been weak and listless, and I have not replied to my parents' messages in time.

I don't have the strength to ask for a monthly pass.

I'm not going to break it.
