Yang Muyun walked out of the Ma Ji mutton noodle shop, walked in the direction of the government office, after hearing that today is the day of registration for the township examination, he was a little uneasy, although he no longer needs to pass the scientific examination to enter the officialdom, but he still can't help but be curious to see how lively the registration site of the township examination is.

He didn't go far to the west, and he saw a long line in front of the palace gate, there were twenty young people with weak crowns, and there were also white-haired old men in their sixties, their eyes were shining, and they looked at the gate of the government office with excitement, as if as soon as they stepped into it, the whole person could be reborn and become a flying immortal.

Yang Muyun felt very kind to this kind of scene, so he came up.

"Young man, don't crowd here, go to the back of the line." An old man with a white beard and white hair scolded him, raised his hand and pointed to the back of the long line, he obviously regarded Yang Muyun as a junior who cut in the queue indiscriminately.

Yang Muyun was not angry when he heard this, but felt that this old show was quite interesting.

"Old man, you are so old that you don't tease your grandson at home, but you come here to take the exam, you run all the way, and you have to be in the examination room for a few days, can you survive this body?" Yang Muyun quipped. A few young people around him couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"How can this be reasonable," Lao Xiucai's wrinkled old face was swollen red, and he stared at his neck and said, "Feng Tang is ninety, and he can still worry about the country." Liang Hao has two out of eighty, and he can still win the top prize. The old man is not yet a sixtieth year, how can he say that he is old, ignorant and noisy. He turned his face away with a grunt.

"Little Xianggong," a middle-aged man shook his head, "Everyone is a disciple of the saint, and enlightenment is sooner or later, so it is really insulting to mock an old man like this." Glancing at him, "If you really have the heart to take the exam, it is better to put more effort into the moral essay, and if you can go to high school in one fell swoop, wouldn't it be beautiful." ”

"What this brother said is very true," Yang Muyun's face was solemn when he heard this, and he arched his hand, "I have been taught." ”

When he was about to turn around and leave, his mind turned, and he walked quickly to the back of the line and lined up.

"Little brother, are you also here to register for the exam?" A middle-aged scribe thirty miles away in front of Yang Muyun looked at him in surprise.

"Yes!" Yang Muyun smiled.

"Those who come here have achieved fame for their talents, little brother...... Do you have one? The middle-aged scribe still looked incredulous.

"It's just a show, what's so difficult?" Yang Muyun said leisurely.

At this moment, I saw five or six young men dressed as scribes approaching this way.

"Brother Wan Chuan, you call yourself a rich five-car middle school, do you dare to come to this examination room to take the test." A scribe spoke to a young man in wild clothes among them.

The young man was dressed in a dark blue robe, with long hair untied, draped over his shoulders like a madman of the Han and Jin dynasties, with a high nose and a wild and uninhibited eyebrows.

"With Brother Wanchuan's family background, do you still use this place to seek fame?" Another scribe scoffed.

"You don't have to provoke me," the young man's gaze swept over the group of friends around him, "I'll go over and sign up for the exam, and let you see a lifter." ”

"Okay, Brother Wan Chuan is quick to speak," a scribe with a beard under his chin bowed his hand to him, "If you can go to the government office to report your name, I will wait for you to celebrate tonight at the drunken pavilion in the head of the big corner." ”

"Is that true?" The young man's eyes lit up, and when he saw a serious look on the faces of his friends, he said, "Okay, a word is a deal!" With a dashing flick of his long hair, his hands were put behind his back, and he strode towards the front of the government office.

He happened to be behind Yang Muyun, looking at Yang Muyun, who was several years younger than him, and asked with a smile with a mouthful of white teeth: "Little brother, may I ask your surname, what is your age?" ”

"Don't dare, my surname is Yang, the cursive word Muyun," Yang Muyun looked at him with a crazy look and did not feel disgusted in his heart, but said with a straight face: "Born in the seventh year of Xuande, I just turned fifteen this year." ”

"Oh?" The young man's eyes froze when he heard this, his body was upright, and he was crazy, "My surname is Zhou, called Zhou Zi, born in the second year of Xuande, twenty years old. Then he said affectionately: "How old is the foolish brother, call you a good brother, I don't know if it's okay?" ”

"Brother Zhou" Yang Muyun smiled and arched his hand to him.

"Virtuous brother" Zhou Zi saw him take the initiative to call himself, and his face was even happier, "I heard that the accent of the virtuous brother is not like that of a local, I don't know where I live?" ”

"Don't hide it from Brother Zhou," Yang Muyun said, "The younger brother is from Huzhou, Zhejiang Province. ”

"Huh?" Zhou Zi was surprised when he heard this, "Brother Xian is from Zhejiang, why did he come to Kaifeng Mansion in Henan Province to sign up for the township test?" ”

"It's a long story," Yang Muyun muttered slightly, "The younger brother is stranded here because of something, and he can't return to his hometown on time, and he doesn't want to miss the opportunity to take the exam this time, so he came here to register." ”

"But," Zhou Zi said, "My Ming law stipulates that scholars in various provinces must register for the exam in their province according to their place of origin, and the hometown of the virtuous brother does not belong to Henan, so how can they register in Kaifeng Mansion?" ”

"Brother Meng Zhou reminded," Yang Muyun smiled slightly, "The younger brother is also just a try." ”

Seeing that his face did not show a look of surprise and annoyance, he remained calm. Zhou Zi was even more strange, "If you don't conform to the law, how can you try?" Seeing that his eyes were slightly bright, he said, "Does the virtuous brother have any support?" ”

"Brother Zhou is right," Yang Muyun pointed to his chest, nodded and said, "What the junior brother relies on is what he has learned in his chest." ”

"Poof" Zhou Zi almost sprayed rice when he heard this, and looked Yang Muyun up and down like a monster, "Does this kid not understand my words or is he not familiar with the world at all?" Looking at his optimistic appearance, I'm afraid that someone will be kicked out of the mess, and I don't know what's going on? ”

......

The "next" government official who registered the candidate's name waved his hand after the candidate's examination card was stamped with a large seal, and then shouted.

Yang Muyun stepped forward with a leisurely pace.

"Pass the place, take the test quickly." The little official urged impatiently.

"Nope." Yang Muyun replied concisely and clearly.

The little official glared, looking at the young man in front of him and baring his teeth, "Boy, are you tired of being crooked, and you don't look at where this is, dare to come here to entertain Lao Tzu?" He looked at the official standing beside him, "Come on, drag this boy out who doesn't know the height of the sky, beat the board first, and then throw it out......"

"Slow" didn't wait for these officials to roll up their sleeves and step forward, Yang Muyun took a step forward, took out a gold waist card from his waist and slapped it in front of the little official, "I don't have it, but I have this." ”

"Huh?" The little official looked down, his brows suddenly tightened, his face showed a look of horror, and his eyes were as big as copper bells, "This...... This is yours? ”

"How?" Yang Muyun smiled, "Do you still want to come up to verify your identity?" ”

"Don't dare," the little official got up and walked out of the table, and bowed with a smile on his face, "My lord is here, I don't know what business you are doing here?" ”

"What else can you do here?" Yang Muyun glanced at him, "Of course, I'm here to register for the exam." ”

"This ...... This ......" the little official's mouth was like a duck's egg, and his speech became unrelenting, "big ...... Adults aren't kidding, are they? ”

"Bold" Yang Muyun shouted angrily, "Do you think I'm joking?" ”

The little official's body trembled, and his head was full of cold sweat, but the smile on his face was still undiminished, and he personally moved a chair and placed it in front of Yang Muyun, "My lord, please sit wide, this matter is not easy for villains to decide, and it must be reported to the prefect for decision......"

Kaifeng Mansion Yahua Hall.

The prefect Liang Wenye was wearing a red official robe and was talking to two officials in cyan official robes. The two officials wearing cyan official robes were Gu Huayun, a scholar from Hanlin, and Sun Qinghai, a Langzhong of the Ministry of Rites, who were the chief and deputy examiners sent by the Beijing Division to Henan to preside over the township examination.

"Lord Liang, how is the situation of the candidates in Henan this year?" Gu Huayun asked.

"Master Gu, according to preliminary statistics, there are about 1,200 students in 96 counties in 8 prefectures and 12 prefectures in Henan." Liang Wenye replied after a little hesitation.

"It seems that Zhongzhou's literary style is very prosperous," Gu Huayun said with a smile, and then changed his words, "There are so many candidates, I don't know if the room over there in the Gongyuan can be used?" ”

"This official has gone there to inspect it the day before yesterday," Liang Wenye thought for a moment and said: "There were more than 1,000 rooms in the Gongyuan Courtyard, and then 300 examination sheds were added, which is enough to be used, so Master Gu doesn't have to worry." ”

At this moment, the little official who registered the candidate's name at the entrance of the government office hurriedly ran in, and shouted before he entered the door: "Lord Prefect!" ”

Liang Wenye frowned, only to see the little official appear at the door with a frightened face, the tip of his shoe stumbled on the threshold, and suddenly a "vicious dog grabbed food", and jumped to his feet with a sloppy sticking to the floor tiles......

Gu Huayun and Sun Qinghai didn't know what was going on, they couldn't help but look at each other, Liang Wenye blushed, lifted his official robe and raised his boots and kicked them away, and scolded angrily: "You bastard, don't you see that the two adults are here?" The official asked you to register the candidate's name, what are you doing here? ”

The little official was kicked by him and sat on the ground, grinning in pain, afraid that he would kick him again, so he hurriedly stretched out his sleeves to cover his head, and hurriedly said, "My lord, get out of ...... Something big is wrong. ”

"Big deal?" Liang Wenye was stunned, and he didn't kick down the next kick, "Say it quickly, what's the big deal?" ”

"This ......" The little official looked at Gu Huayun and Sun Qinghai, and stopped talking.

"The two adults are not outsiders, so it doesn't hurt to talk about anything." Liang Wenye shouted angrily.

"My lord, please see," the little official took out a gold waist plate from his sleeve and presented it respectfully.

"This is ......" Liang Wenye frowned and took it, his eyes widened when he saw it, and handed the waist card to Gu Huayun and Sun Qinghai, and their faces couldn't help but change when they saw it. In the flower hall, three pairs of eyes, you look at me, I look at you, for a long time, the three mouths said the same sentence: "Jinyiwei"

"Where are the people?" Liang Wenye was so nervous that he looked left and right, for fear that an iron chain would fall from the sky and detain him.

"My lord, I'm still at the door of the mansion."

"What?" Liang Wenye's forehead was bruised, and he was so anxious that he wanted to stretch out his foot and kick it again, "What are you doing in a daze?" Why don't you hurry up and ...... Please come in. As he spoke, he lifted the official hat that was a little crooked to the side.

"Yes...... Yes, sir. The little official ran out with a crawl.

"Jin Yiwei? What are they doing in my Kaifeng Mansion? Liang Wenye's suspicious gaze looked at Gu Huayun and Sun Qinghai, and it happened that the eyes of the two of them also looked at him. The three pairs of eyes met slightly, and then they swung to the side. They were all thinking about the same question in their hearts: Jin Yiwei must have come to him, not me.

Yang Muyun was respectfully invited into the flower hall and sat on the upper seat. Three adults with large beards sat at the bottom of him.

After giving their names, they looked at each other.

"Is this the Lord of the Five Thousand Households of the Jinyi Weibei Division? Why is he so young and still looks like a child who has not fully grown up. The three adults couldn't help but mutter.

"Isn't it just to sign up for a township test? It's such a big battle. Yang Muyun said secretly in his heart.

"Lord Yang came to this mansion this time, I don't know what to say?" Liang Wenye opened his mouth first.

"Oh," Yang Muyun said, "It's not a big deal, I just want to register here and take the township exam." ”

"My lord, what do you say......" Liang Wenye was stunned, "You want to take the township test?" ”

"Well, what's the problem?" Yang Muyun said.

"This ......" Liang Wenye glanced at Gu Huayun and Sun Qinghai, and saw that neither of them spoke, he scolded secretly in his heart, and squeezed out a smile on his face: "This mansion doesn't understand what the adults mean, the adults already have a five-grade official body, why do you want to come to participate in this township test?" ”

"Well, that's the case," Yang Muyun glanced at them and said leisurely: "When this official was in Huzhou, he had already obtained the reputation of Xiucai, and he was appreciated by the imperial court, and he was fortunate to obtain an official position. After some small merits, by the emperor's grace, promoted to the Beijing division of Jinyi Weibei Town Fu Si Qianhu, now come to Kaifeng on business, see here is signing up for the exam, then come to want to apply for it, in order to make up for the regrets of the past. ”

"So that's the case," Gu Huayun comprehended quickly, and arched his hand and said: "This fame is just a false name for adults, why should adults be obsessed with this?" ”

"Having said that," Yang Muyun glanced at him, "Now Yang is in the same court as you, and I am only famous for being a showman, which is really a bit embarrassing!" ”

"If you really want to take the test, this government has a reluctant request." Liang Wenye glared at Gu Huayun, and then smiled at Yang Muyun instead.

"Lord Liang, please speak."

"Lord Yang's hometown is Huzhou Mansion in Zhejiang Province, and it is a little inconsistent with the rules and regulations of the imperial court to come to this mansion to take the exam," glanced at it, and saw that Yang Muyun's face was as usual, without the slightest displeasure, so he said: "The meaning of this mansion, please change your hometown to Kaifeng Mansion in Henan Province, I don't know what you think?" ”
