Early the next morning, Ma Zhou rushed to the Ministry of Rites at dawn.

The hall official of the Ministry of Rites had just been on duty, and the hall official always felt that Ma Zhou was strange and wanted to get angry, but it could be seen that the other party was serving under the door and had a noble identity, so he had to endure it and entertain him diligently.

"Nine?" The hall official looked at Ma Zhou in surprise.

This is the first day of the Kaike recommendation, no one expected that the first person to submit a letter to recommend was actually the recently famous Erpi County man, good guy, this is too ruthless.

Ma Zhoudao: "The imperial court did not explicitly stipulate that nine people could not be recommended. ”

"Yes, yes, yes." The hall official nodded awkwardly, he was eager to send away Ma Zhou immediately.

"Once the book is submitted, the horse serves and returns, I am the ......"

"No, my benefactor has a word, you need to personally watch the Ministry of Rites to include the roster."

Officer: "......"

Speaking of which, where did this official dare to be lazy, he wished that it would be included immediately, so he immediately got busy, asked people to transcribe the directory, stamped his own big seal, and then began to seal it, Ma Zhou saw that all the formalities were complete, and then left.

…………

At noon, Cheng Yanjin was lying comfortably on a rattan chair in the backyard.

Cheng Chumo also happily drank tea beside him.

Both father and son are in a good mood today.

Of course, the most important thing is ...... Today is a good day.

Standing in front of Cheng Yanjin was a scholar named Guo Zhengyi.

Guo Zheng looked at Cheng Yanjin with a grateful face, and then gave a disciple salute to Cheng Yanjin: "Engong has been in good health recently?" ”

"Okay, very good." Cheng Yanjin sighed with emotion, and then looked at Guo Zhengyi: "Early in the morning, I have asked people to send your list to the Ministry of Rites, haha, you are a scholar, the old man thought you were very talented and learned, this imperial examination, His Majesty encouraged me to recommend talents." Hmph, they all say that I, Cheng Biting Jin, am a rough person, what do you know about these bastards? My Cheng family can also go in and out of the Jinshi, so that those blind guys can know how powerful the old man is. Guo Zhengyi, if you are in high school, my Lao Cheng recommended you, and you can be regarded as having a light on your face, don't look at me as a martial artist, but I have always liked to deal with you scholars. ”

Speaking of this, Cheng Yanjin felt happy in his heart, and grinned to himself.

This Guo Zhengyi is a poor family, when he arrived in Beijing, he wanted to participate in the imperial examination, and he threw books everywhere, Cheng bit the gold, and happened to be blamed by Li Shimin for only knowing how to dance with guns and sticks, okay, then my old Cheng also recommended a talent to open the eyes of people in the world.

As soon as Guo Zheng heard Cheng Yanjin's words, he was even more grateful, and he gave another disciple salute: "If it is a fluke in high school, the general's recommendation will be a blessing, and it will be difficult for the student to repay it." ”

"Haha......" Cheng Yanjin couldn't help but touch his son's head beautifully, and after stroking, he turned his palm into a fist and knocked the back of Cheng Chumo's head hard, and Cheng Chumo screamed.

Cheng Biting Jin said angrily: "It's a pity that my own son is not angry, if he can be as talented as you, this is just to exhale and raise his eyebrows." Wait a minute, I'm afraid that many of the people who went to deliver the directory will come back. ”

Coincidentally, at this time, a chief of the Cheng Mansion came in a hurry, Cheng Biting Jin saw it, and laughed: "I really said that Cao Cao Cao will arrive, Cheng Jin, how about it, the Ministry of Rites is ...... there."

"General, it's not good, it's not good, I sent Mr. Guo's name card to the Ministry of Rites, who knew that the official of the Ministry of Rites read the name post, but said...... Mr. Kwok...... Mr. Guo has been included in the list of candidates to be examined, and someone has already recommended him. ”

"What?" Cheng bit the blonde and was stunned, and then looked at Guo Zhengyi suspiciously.

Guo Zhengyi was also surprised, and was stared at by Cheng Jin's gaze: "I...... I...... The student did not ...... And it didn't ......"

Cheng Yanjin's eyes widened: "Who recommended it?" ”

"Say it's a man from Erpi County?"

Cheng gritted his gold teeth and stomped his feet: "Erpi County man, where did this dog come from, the old man chose a good reader, how could he be the first?" Is there still a royal law here? Why didn't the Ministry of Rites care, it was actually for the tiger. ”

"General." The person who came said with a sad face: "Over there in the Ministry of Rites, it is first recorded and first served, this ...... This ......"

Cheng Biting Jin still scolded.

Guo Zhengyi was embarrassed at this moment, he thought that his benefactor was General Cheng, but now a man from Erpi County suddenly appeared, and he was in a very embarrassing situation at the moment. ”

His ritual was completely different from the previous rite, he was holding the disciple rite, and now he ...... But it was just a fist.

Cheng Biting Jin opened his mouth, but for a while, he was speechless.

Cheng Chumo on the side was indignant: "Dad, it's too much to deceive people, this is too much deception, my son is looking for that second skin." ”

Cheng Yanjin came to his senses and gave Cheng Chumo a slap with his backhand.

There was a snap, and then Cheng bit Jindi roared: "Look for it, you look for a bird, you look for him, his Chen family depends on you, like flies, maybe Wei Zheng will be impeached, how will I live in the future, get out of the way!" ”

Cheng Chumo was beaten, like a dead dog being kicked, he whimpered, and hung his head and didn't dare to make a sound anymore.

He still can't understand that the Cheng family is also famous and surnamed, deeply trusted by His Majesty, and has prestige in the army, so why should he be afraid of a small Chen family.

……

Burst......

Iiyama Prefecture Mansion.

At this time, Hao Xianggui, the prince of Iiyama County, was holding a directory in his hand, and then a mouthful of old blood spurted out and sprayed directly on the list.

Hao Xianggui's chest rose and fell, his eyes widened, and he looked at the list of rites in disbelief, his eyes were bloodshot, and he suddenly felt that his eyes were dark, and his body was shaky.

When the Hao family saw it, they were shocked: "Ah Lang, Ah Lang ......"

Hao Xianggui once served as the assassin of Chuzhou, and he can be regarded as a feudal official, because of his military merits, he also won the title of a county duke, of course, this is not the point.

The point is...... His son, Hao Chujun, is about to participate in the imperial examination.

In this imperial examination, the imperial court has issued an edict on standing up, requiring all state governments to recommend candidates to enter Beijing for the examination, and at the same time, to encourage officials to recommend talents for the examination.

Originally, the Hao family was calm and relaxed, recommended? My Hao family recommends themselves to themselves, and there is no need to beg for the high door like the children of the poor family.

After all...... The Hao family has an official position and a knighthood.

Can...... Looking at the list sent by the Ministry of Rites, Hao Xianggui's mind was confused, he really couldn't understand that his son was ...... Why was it recommended by others...... ...... with the surname Chen

Looked at......

Hao Xianggui, who finally sobered up a little, was in the puzzled gaze of his family, and suddenly the whole person regained his infinite vitality, he almost jumped up, then beat his chest and fell to his feet, and opened his mouth to scold: "Mengjin Chen's litter of defeated dogs is really shameless and shameless." What does my pediatric examination do to him? What are they doing to make a fuss......"

Scolding this, Hao Xianggui's whole person seemed to be exhausted, panting like pulling a bellows, but he didn't understand his hatred: "Oops...... This is not a person, don't stop me, I will chop up the Chen thief, I have to chop it. ”

His son stood there blankly, looking confused.

As a matter of fact...... Hao Xianggui's son Hao Chujun still doesn't understand what relationship he has with the Chen family, is he very familiar? Have you ever seen it? What did he recommend me for?

Everyone stopped Hao Xianggui, and Hao Xianggui scolded endlessly: "This is also what people do? He Chen is just a dog of the loser, a donkey barking dog, and there is only a district and county male in the family...... I'm a dignified county official, and the Hao family hasn't died yet......"

Hao Chujun saw that the more his father scolded, the more unpleasant it became, and he was busy bowing down: "My lord, don't scold, scold again, it's not good to say, after all, they recommended their son, if they scold again, it seems that the son doesn't know how to repay the kindness, if he can get away with high school in the future, I'm afraid he won't be able to tolerate his ......career."

Hao Xianggui was about to faint again when he heard this.

That's what he's afraid of......

So Hao Xianggui coughed desperately, and wanted to continue to say something, but in the end, he suddenly said with a trembling body like a deflated ball: "This is really not a thing, he Mengjin Chen, whoever is close to him will cause disaster, why did our Hao family get involved in such a group of people...... What's more, once he recommended you, he became your benefactor, we didn't ask for his disciples, but it seems that our Hao family has received the favor of his Chen family, it's not like that, hey...... Ah...... No, the old man is distressed, and his heart is very distressed......"
