After the exam, Tong Yuan walked out of the Gongyuan with Kaolan in his hand, and came to the agreed place, seeing that Liu Jin was already waiting early, and soon Huang Jinquan also came out.

The three of them glanced at each other, each with a hint of a smile on their lips.

"Let's go back first."

Liu Jin pretended to be very calm and calm, while Huang Jinquan and Tong Yuan nodded very obediently, and they simply admired their teacher.

The key is that such a biased exam question can be pressed, I can't believe it.

As for doubting whether Liu Jin got the exam questions in advance, the two of them didn't have doubts, but they just thought about it for a moment that the examiner this time was Wang Wei, Wang Wei has always been known for his uprightness, and it is definitely impossible for him to be that kind of person.

So there is only one possibility, that is, his mentor has gone through shit luck, and he can hit the question, which is simply a god.

"Brother Huang, Brother Tong~"

Just as the three of them were about to leave, a voice called out to them.

followed the voice and looked over, it was a few people who were on the Moon Tower that day, Jiang Shan, Ouyang Wen, and Liu Hongzhi.

"I don't know who this brother is?"

The three of them walked over, looked at Liu Jin and asked.

"This is my mentor~"

Tong Yuan hurriedly said.

"It turned out to be Liu Jin and Liu Gongzi~"

When the three of them heard this, they immediately hurriedly said to Liu Jin.

"You talk, I still have something to do, so I won't accompany you."

Liu Jin smiled and bowed back, and then he didn't mean to chat with them, so he left first.

Naturally, there is nothing to talk about with them, and Liu Jin is now more famous, and everyone is young, so he will definitely be pulled by someone to fight the ink again, how much ink is in his stomach, Liu Jin knows very well that when the time comes, in order to maintain the image of his superior children, it must be indispensable to ask for help with gold fingers, and the points that have been saved with great difficulty are too worthless to consume in such a thing.

After Liu Jin finished speaking, he also left directly, and he had no intention of dragging mud and water.

Jiang Shan. Ouyang Wen and Liu Hongzhi looked at Liu Jin's appearance, looked at each other slightly, and they all saw the unhappiness in each other's eyes, Liu Jin didn't see the three of them in his eyes at all, completely ignored the existence of the three of them, and didn't even mean to chat simply.

Even if he is a son of a master, this is too arrogant.

This is the inner thought of the three of them.

However, on the surface, it was not revealed, but said to Huang Jinquan and Tong Yuan with a smile: "Brother Huang, Brother Tong, I don't know how the test is?" ”

"I don't know, the exam questions are too difficult this time."

Huang Jinquan pretended to smile bitterly and said, although he already knew in his heart that he would definitely pass this time, but he still had to pretend to be a superficial kung fu.

"It may be difficult for us, but it may not be for Brother Jiang, Brother Ouyang, and Brother Liu, presumably the three of them will definitely be able to go to high school."

Tong Yuan knew the intention of these three people, just to see his own jokes.

"It's about the same as Brother Huang, I'm not sure, the exam questions this time are really too difficult."

Jiang Shan smiled and said.

"yes, it's too difficult, it's the hardest cut-off."

Ouyang Wen and Liu Hongzhi also nodded and said, the three of them were still full of confidence before the exam, and after the exam, the three of them discussed with each other, and the three of them felt empty.

So there is not much smugness, and it is really hard to say about the imperial examination.

"Forget it, let's not talk about it, go back and have a good rest first, and you'll know when the list is released."

Tong Yuan and Huang Jinquan looked at each other, did not continue to chat with the three of them, said goodbye to the three of them very simply, and hurriedly ran to Liu Jin's house.

"Looking at their appearance, they definitely didn't do well in the exam this time, and most of them will lose their names in Sun Mountain."

Ouyang Wen looked at the backs of Huang Jinquan and Tong Yuan leaving, and said with a smile.

"If all the three masters and apprentices of this master fail to make the list, it will inevitably become a good story in the entire capital."

Liu Hongzhi also looked like he was waiting to see the joke.

"Who knows, maybe everyone will win all three masters and apprentices."

Although Jiang Shan's words sounded good, the two people next to him heard the opposite meaning.

……

"Teacher~"

Tong Yuan and Huang Jinquan came to Liu Jin's mansion, and when they saw Liu Jin, they also knelt down directly.

This is a kneeling from the heart, the two of them are too clear about their own level, without Liu Jin to give them surprise training, without Liu Jin pressing the exam questions in advance, they want to pass this township test, most of them have little hope.

Huang Jinquan worked hard wholeheartedly, maybe he was defeated repeatedly, and he still hoped to be able to be admitted to the examination a few more times, but Tong Yuan, most of them were like the sixtieth talents who took the exam, and they may not be able to be admitted until they are old.

But now it's completely different, the two of them are almost 100% sure that they will definitely be able to pass the exam, which knows the exam questions in advance, and also conducts special training, if they can't pass the exam, both of them can directly hit the piece of tofu to death, so as not to be embarrassed.

Liu Jin's kindness to them is greater than heaven, and there is no reluctance in this worship.

You must know that the gap between the middle lift and the lack of the middle lift is too big, one is the privileged class, the other is still the ordinary class, and there is no comparison between identity and status at all.

"Get up, get up, don't leak half a word about this matter."

Liu Jin nodded with satisfaction, and then said seriously.

"Yes~"

The two nodded solemnly and replied.

"Let's go, go to the restaurant for a good meal, and then sleep beautifully."

Liu Jin nodded with satisfaction, and then took the lead and walked outside.

The three days of the exam are simply pride, I can't eat and sleep well, it's like going to prison, and I naturally have to make up for it when it comes out.

Liu Jin took his two protégés to eat and drink without heart and lungs, and on the other side, Wang Wei and other examiners also started the intense marking work.

Beizhili is at the foot of the Son of Heaven, and the township test is a major event once every three years, and Emperor Hongzhi attaches great importance to it, so it is necessary to complete the review of the paper as soon as possible, so as to report to the Son of Heaven.

Originally, there were several exams in this township examination, but because there were too many students in the exam, more than 3,000 people referred to it, which meant that the examiner's marking workload was very heavy.

Therefore, according to the inertia of the past, the examiners only read the Bagu Wen, that is, the answer sheet of the question produced by Wang Wei, as for the other lessons, they are basically read at random, and in case of time urgency, they don't even bother to look at it, which is also the practice of the imperial examination.

A few days later, Wang Wei had already finished reading all the exam papers, and several examiners had already set the rankings for this time, so he also came to the palace with the list to report to Emperor Hongzhi.

"Your Majesty, the results of this Beizhili Township Examination have come out, please take a look at it."

Wang Wei respectfully handed a copy of the list to Emperor Hongzhi.

"Wang Aiqing has worked hard, give me a seat."

Emperor Hongzhi knew what was going on when he saw Wang Wei coming to him, and he didn't pick up the list before he asked with a smile: "How was that Liu Jin exam?" ”

What he is most concerned about is Liu Jin's examination situation, Liu Jin has done a lot of things for Emperor Hongzhi, each of which is a good thing for the benefit of the country and the people, and it makes him and the crown prince Zhu Houzhao's pockets bulge.

So he had already decided a long time ago that as long as Liu Jin's test was not too bad, he would let Liu Jin win a move, and there would be a gold list title in the spring of next year, which could be regarded as a reward for Liu Jin, and of course, it was also to lay the foundation for Zhu Houzhao's future team.

"Back to Your Majesty, Liu Jin is worthy of being a son of a master, the articles written in this exam are magnificent, magnificent, and talented, and the ministers set him as the first place in the first class."

Speaking of Liu Jin, Wang Wei couldn't help but admire, at first he didn't have a good impression of Liu Jin, obviously he was a scholar, but he went to do business, and he took His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to do it together.

Knowing that Liu Jin's master and apprentice would participate in this township test, he naturally paid attention to it early, who knew that Liu Jin's article was very good, which made him admire again and again.

"Oh, there's such a thing?"

When Emperor Hongzhi heard this, he immediately came to his senses, he had contact with Liu Jin, and he didn't feel the breath of many literati from Liu Jin's body, he spoke very straightforwardly, and he was able to get the first place in the exam.

"It's not just Liu Jin, his two protégés, Huang Jinquan and Tong Yuan, both did very well, and their rankings were very high, and all of them were lifted in one of the three masters and apprentices."

Wang Wei nodded and added.

"Okay, sure enough, he is a son of a master, and he also has real talent and learning, so he didn't disappoint me."

When Emperor Hongzhi heard this, he immediately said happily, he seemed to be very pleased, he liked Liu Jin very much, and deep down he still hoped that Liu Jin would be talented and able to be admitted, so that it would be more in line with Emperor Hongzhi's expectations for Liu Jin.

Hearing Emperor Hongzhi's words, Wang Wei didn't speak, he actually didn't want Liu Jin to be a-stirring stick, because Liu Jin had already brought such a huge change just outside the court and the opposition, once he entered the court, who knew what kind of huge changes he would bring.

"Let's put the list~"

……

Soon, the red list of the North Zhili Township Test in the eleventh year of Hongzhi was posted.
