But as soon as they heard the emperor's will, almost everyone was at a loss.

After all, these small people have never even seen the master book of the county in their lives, so where do they know what to do when the emperor's will comes?

Dou Lukuan also seemed to find out about this situation, so he had to smile bitterly and said patiently: "Let's salute and wait." ”

Deng Jian reacted quickly, took the lead in bowing, clasped his hands together, and said solemnly: "The student accepts the order." ”

Then the others did the same in fear, and they all bowed down and put their hands together in a sign of deference.

Dou Lukuan doesn't care whether the etiquette of these people is standard or not, in fact, the etiquette of the Tang Dynasty is just like this, but it is not as strict as that of later generations, and the meaning is enough.

If the ministers are rude, they may be impeached by the imperial history, and the people of the people, what are you impeaching?

Dou Lu cleared his throat and said: "Under the door, the foundation of the world lies in the materials. I Shao Yingjun life, succeeded to the throne for five years, now open the imperial examination, Xu Zhou test, want to make the world's noble and lowly beings, to the article and seek fame, now Yongzhou state test, there is Deng Jian, ranked first in the Yongzhou state test, for the Yongzhou case ......"

Hearing this, everyone immediately became in an uproar.

First ...... of the state test Deng Jian?

Deng Jian was stunned, obviously, he couldn't imagine that he had taken the first exam.

He only felt that he was quite familiar with the questions in the exam, so he wrote the article with his habit of writing articles on weekdays.

Of course, for him, writing articles has become a very simple task. After all, in the daily study, although the gentlemen asked to write one article every day, but he felt that one article was not enough, and he wrote two articles on the same proposition, and then picked out their advantages and disadvantages from these two articles.

Sometimes in order to write an article, he even forgets to sleep and eat, and seems to be still writing in his dreams.

As for the arithmetic and general education questions, he is more confident, because of these two papers, he is confident that he can get full marks.

So he felt that his test should not be bad, but the state exam was not a test of a person's level of knowledge, as well as the quality of the article, and he competed with the readers in Yongzhou, and his family was poor.

Compared with others, there are always some inferiority complexes, so they dare not hold up.

Can ...... now This result...... He didn't expect it himself.

Hit.

Yongzhou case.

Deng Jian felt that his two tremors were a little untenable, and for a while, he was so emotional that he couldn't help himself.

The second uncle Liu Feng was already taken aback.

First in the state test.

Awesome!

Doesn't this mean that in the entire Yongzhou, his nephew Deng Jian is the first in knowledge?

I really never imagined that the Deng family would have such a character.

Liu Feng was stunned for a while.

The neighbors on the side were already in an uproar, and they couldn't care about being solemn, and they turned their heads to each other one by one.

"Look at the ...... of other people's sons"

…………

Inside the house.

Father Deng, who was lying on the bed, was soft, and he heard the noise outside, which seemed to be said to be an official errand, which made him feel a little uneasy.

Deng Jian won't do anything bad, right?

No, he's always been a good boy.

But immediately, I heard the voice of Dou Lu Kuan.

Dou Lu's voice is as wide as a bell, after all, he is reciting the will, and he needs to show a little momentum.

The house was already simple, and the voice from outside was clearly heard.

First ...... of the state test The head of the Yongzhou case......

Father Deng was stunned.

Then, tears welled up in his eyes.

He coughed uncontrollably.

Forthwith...... But it seems that the whole person is rejuvenated.

With a low shout, he sat up suddenly, and put on his shoes, this set of actions is really smooth, as fast as a jaguar.

…………

Dou Lukuan's voice continued: "When I heard this good news, I was very relieved, and the Imperial Decree Department of Rites and Rites built a stone workshop in front of the Deng family's court, so as to show it...... Oh yes! ”

Build a stone workshop.

For many people, the stone square is only those who have the things of the world, this thing is the same as the valve reading, that is, to find the stone, build the archway, and record the deeds of the owner on the archway.

In this way, even if the wind and rain blow, thousands of years later, people in later generations will pass through this place and see this stone workshop, and they can also know the glory of the original master here.

And this decree was dictated by the emperor, and then transcribed by the Chinese book, and finally sent to his subordinates to make a formal will.

Therefore, there is a special word 'under the door' in front of it, which is much higher than the specifications of the stone workshops built by ordinary ministries and government offices.

After Dou Lukuan finished reading, he immediately looked at Deng Jian and said, "Deng Jian, still don't accept the order?" ”

Deng Jian was stunned for a while, and he was stunned again.

In the past two or three years, at the beginning, in order to study, he worked while eavesdropping in school, and looked at textbooks every day without sleeping.

finally got into the university hall, and he also studied every day, no matter how wind and rain he was, he would never dare to delay.

And now...... Once he was tested and became the head of the case, he had mixed feelings in his heart, and the fear and pride in his heart all burst out, so tears instantly wet his clothes.

I finally lived up to the kindness of my parents and the righteousness of the teacher's teaching to solve doubts.

Seeing that Deng Jian was still stunned, Dou Lukuan couldn't help urging: "The head of the Deng case ......"

But at this time......

The firewood door inside opened, but I saw a dragon spirit and a fierce figure rushing out.

Dou Lukuan only felt a flower in front of him, and saw a middle-aged man, trotting out energetically.

This person went directly to Deng Jian and patted his face gently: "Quick, take the order." ”

This gentle tap made Deng Jian come back to his senses suddenly, and then he saw that his father was already standing in front of him.

He looked dumbly at his father, who was ...... at the moment His eyes were bright, his face was ruddy, and his body looked a lot more majestic.

"Order!" Father Deng roared.

"Oh, oh." Deng Jian reacted, so he hurriedly went to accept the will with sincere fear.

Father Deng also hurriedly stepped forward and said to forgiveness: "The dog is really dead, he was rude in front of the officials, he is still young, I implore the officials not to blame." ”

Originally...... The man was the son.

Dou Lu Kuan was a little curious in his heart, and couldn't help but look at Father Deng, this person was obviously a poor man, and he couldn't think of it...... and such a son was born.

That's really ......

Dou Lukuan barely squeezed out a smile and said, "Where, the Er family has the head of the case, but it is gratifying." ”

Behind him, a ceremonial man frowned, gently pulled Dou Lukuan's long sleeves, and whispered in a very difficult voice: "Xianggong, there is a difficult matter at the moment, this Deng family's mansion is too cramped, how to build a stone workshop?" Even if his house is demolished, I am afraid that it will not be enough to build a stone workshop. ”

When Dou Lukuan heard this, he was immediately stunned.

He almost forgot about it, to be honest, there is really no stone workshop for such a poor family in the world, even if it is a Han Shi in the imperial court, there are hundreds of acres of land in the family, but look at this Deng family......

What a ghost.

Today's incident is really unheard of, and Dou Lukuan didn't know what to do for a while.

Thereupon...... The scene was awkward for a while.

Father Deng said happily: "Officials, please come into the house, drink tea, eat a meal, my mother-in-law, no, no, no, I will personally come to wash rice and eat, it is not easy for officials to come here, it is all for my son, my son, my son ......"

When Father Deng said this, tears in his eyes couldn't help but flow out.

He couldn't wait to let out a long howl, my son is really capable.

Looking at the neighbors around him, they all looked at themselves with envy, just now Father Deng was ashamed that he owed money and couldn't pay it back to his brother, but now, he has settled down, he owes money, and he can always pay it back, but this book ...... That's right.

Dou Lukuan: "......"

In fact...... He was really hungry.

Just look at the surroundings and look at the family......

Let's be honest...... He doesn't dislike eating a bite of food in this house, he just thinks that this is like a crime, how many catties of rice do people have enough to eat for themselves?

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look Deng Jian up and down, in such an environment, he was able to produce a case, in addition to the contribution of Erpigou University, the young man in front of him must also be a very amazing person.

Dou Lukuan smiled and said: "If you eat, you won't eat, I'll be here on the order of Qin, and I need to go back earlier to hand over the mission." He waved his hand and finally said, "Farewell." ”

As he spoke, he took a group of people behind him and walked away again.

Looking at the back in the distance, Deng's father suddenly called out excitedly: "My son...... is the first ...... It's the first ......"

"He's my nephew." Liu Feng was on the side, and he was also cheering.

"Gotta set the wine, big brother...... This matter has to be wrapped up in a few of our brothers, let's scrape together some money and kill a pig, such a big event, even the emperor was alarmed, Deng Jian can be regarded as raising his eyebrows, how can he not put wine? ”

Father Deng came to his senses, still with a happy expression on his face, and the chick pecked the rice and nodded: "Yes, yes, yes, you want to set up wine, haha......" Then he looked at the neighbors left and right: "Everyone wants to come, Wu'er is very happy, everyone wants to come and drink a sip of water and wine." ”

Immediately, he thought of something again, but his smile narrowed a little, pulled Liu Feng aside, and said in a low voice: "If everyone pools money together, I'm afraid that my brother-in-law will ...... there."

"How dare she say?" Liu Feng said coldly: "I'll go back and sell her dowry now, my nephew is now the head of the case, she dares to say a word, I will divorce her first." ”

Father Deng: "......"

The Deng family was full of joy.

Deng Jian still looked confused, confused.

Father Deng pulled Deng Jian aside very seriously, pulled up his face and said: "What are you still doing here, the affairs of the family, you have your own father Zhang Luo, don't get in the way here, you have been hit by the case, how can you stand stupidly, ...... Let's go to school. ”

Deng Jian looked at his father who was fierce and dumbfounded: "Go to school?" ”

"Of course, I want to thank your master, and those gentlemen, you can't forget your roots, do you think you really have the ability to hit the head of the case? Without them, you would have been working in the workshop for the rest of your life! What is this, this is a great kindness, you will be a cow and a horse all your life, and you will not be able to repay it. Now that you have received this great grace, you are still standing here stupidly, but you have forgotten to thank you. ”

Deng Jian suddenly remembered something, patted his head, and said ashamedly: "I forgot, my lord, I'll go first." ”

With that, he ran away in a puff of smoke.

…………

Dou Lukuan returned to Taiji Palace in the evening and immediately asked to see Li Shimin.

Li Shimin met Dou Lukuan in the Ziwei Palace.

Dou Lukuan saluted first: "Your Majesty, the minister has already been to the Deng family, and Deng Jian has also accepted the will." ”

Li Shimin frowned, if you go, you will go, what are you doing here? If all my wills are for everyone to come back and say that they are done, then do I still want to live?

So he said: "The Qing family has worked hard." ”

Dou Lukuan immediately said, "It's just ...... When the minister went to the Deng family, the Deng family was extremely poor, and the place where he lived was only the size of a palm, and he didn't dare to say that there was no place for his feet, but the minister saw that his family was surrounded by four walls, and he also heard that his father was also ill before, and the Ministry of Rites could not find land to build a stone workshop for his family, so he came to implore His Majesty to see what to do. ”

Li Shimin looked surprised.

He also thought that Deng Jian was just a poor family.

But where did you think of it...... The family background is so bad.

With such a family background, can you also study?

But suddenly, perhaps because of Dou Lukuan's reminder, Li Shimin suddenly remembered who this Deng Jian was.

So he said: "I remembered, I remembered, I did see that Deng Jian, is it the Deng Jian who is so poor that he doesn't even have pants?" Yes, I saw him in Erpigou, this person behaves like a beggar, ignorant, but I didn't expect that after a year or two, he became the head of the case......"

At first, Li Shimin only felt that this Deng Jianneng was the head of the case, which was really remarkable.

Can ...... now Li Shimin's heart was only shocked.

He suddenly remembered that when Chen Zhengtai built the Erpigou University Hall, he said that he wanted many people to read the book, and he was still laughing in his heart at that time.

But now...... Where did you think that Chen Zhengtai has been doing this silently all along, and now ...... The results have been remarkable.

Li Shimin said with emotion: "What Zhengtai wants to do, it is really nine cows that can't be pulled back, such a poor disciple, I don't know how much effort it takes to become a talent." But he was conscientious, silent, and really got things done. How many capable generals are there around me, either good at strategy, or good at battlefield fighting, but a person like Zhengtai is unique, this Deng Jian is the head of the case, but the real head of the case should be Zhengtai. ”

Dou Lu Kuan listened to the clouds in the fog, and couldn't help but think in his heart, Your Majesty, you are really a fucking talent, you can praise Chen Zhengtai for everything, isn't this between your master and apprentice, touting each other, right?

Li Shimin seemed to see Dou Lu Kuan's expression, but he didn't bother to explain these things to Dou Lu Kuan, he only sighed with emotion in his heart, Deng Jian two years ago, and Deng Jian today, are really like two people, and how many demons are still hidden in the Erpigou University Hall?

This disciple of mine is really a credit to Sheji!
