After all, He Zhiyuan is a human being in two lives, and the two lives add up to a Jiazi time, and he will not react to this matter immediately.

When Zhao Nai heard Master Zhao, he immediately became happy, because he was the only one surnamed Zhao in this inn. He asked He Zhiyuan beside him: "The newspapers just now said that Master Zhao was in high school, right?" Did I really hit this time? ”

"That's right, it's you." He Zhiyuan replied, "Get out quickly." ”

Zhao Nai, who was confirmed, stood there motionless as if he had been pointed. muttered in his mouth: "It's not a dream, is it, really hit?" Really hit? ”

He Zhiyuan saw that he didn't move, so he pulled him outside, and Zhao Nai still muttered in his mouth: "Really hit?" When they walked outside, Zhao Nai, He Zhiyuan, and a group of people saw a plaque held by a newspaper that read, "Good news Linzi old man Zhao Yanai, the second place in the high school Shandong Township Examination, Yayuan, Beijing Daily Liandeng Huangjia."

When He Zhiyuan saw this plaque, he realized that the flapping of his butterfly wings had changed Zhao Nai's ranking in the imperial examination. Since he is second, who will be first? It can't be yourself, right?

At this time, Zhao Nai saw the plaque, and suddenly came to his senses, and his eyes were also full of tears, after all, he failed several township exams, and the ups and downs of the past few years came to his heart, which ones stopped the tears. However, tears returned tears, and he still did not forget to give the silver reward, but he did not find a copper plate after touching it for a long time. Seeing this, He Zhiyuan immediately took out the pieces from his body and separated them.

When the innkeeper heard the news, he immediately got busy again, this time setting off more firecrackers and writing bigger on the door. At the same time, the owner of the Minghu Hotel also set off firecrackers and posted propaganda slogans, because these newspapers first went to the Minghu Hotel, and after hearing that the master had gone to the Quancheng Inn, these newspapers turned to the Quancheng Inn. Therefore, this honor should also be counted on the head of Minghu Hotel.

After these three waves of annunciation, the sun has turned west, and it looks like today's annunciation should be over. Everyone is very happy, especially Zhao Nai, Xu Feng and Wang Yun who have been promoted to upstarts, and they will be official masters from now on, how can they not be happy? At this time, He Zhiyuan was a little stunned, he couldn't figure it out, did he fall off the list? What is wrong with your exam paper? Or let the examiners who mark the papers find that the test papers are similar to theirs? If you find that you are similar, you will never just let yourself fall off the list, at least Zhao Nai will not have a good second ranking.

Just when he was stunned, Zhao Nai found that He Zhiyuan's mood was wrong, this is also human nature, his companions have all been lifted, only he has no news, and it is inevitable that he will feel uncomfortable. It was he who comforted: "Brother Wen Yu, it is normal that you didn't pass the first township exam, and if you don't take the exam three or five times, you will have to take the exam twice and less." I will definitely pass the exam again in three years! ”

After everyone heard about it, they also persuaded He Zhiyuan and asked him not to take it to heart. He Zhiyuan smiled: "It doesn't matter if you don't win, there will be more opportunities when I'm young." ”

While he was talking, a gong sound came from far and near, and the innkeeper screamed: "My good man, the Xie Yuan of Jinke will not also fall into the contemptible inn." ”

Everyone was nervous, especially the other scholars who lived in the Spring City Inn. At this time, everyone ran out of the door of the inn to see who the Xie Yuan of Jinke was.

The sound of the gong is getting louder and louder, and the plaque is getting clearer and clearer, and gradually people can see the words on the plaque, only to see that it reads, "Good news Juzhou lord He Zhiyuan, high school Shandong Township Examination first place Xie Yuan, Beijing newspaper Liandeng Huangjia".

After everyone saw the words on the plaque, they all clapped their hands for He Zhiyuan to celebrate, and He Zhiyuan was also shocked that he could put an egg in his mouth. He didn't expect that Xie Yuan of Jinke would be himself anyway, he originally wanted to be low-key, to be able to take the top ten exams, neither conspicuous nor backward. But I took a test of Xie Yuan, which surprised me too.

In a trance, the newspapers had already come to him, knelt down and shouted in unison: "Congratulations to Master He for solving the yuan in high school!" He Zhiyuan then remembered that he was going to distribute the happy money, but the scattered silver he prepared was almost divided for others. There were only a few dozen small ingots left in one tael or two taels, but the arrow had to be sent on the string, and besides, he didn't care about this bit of silver, so he took out a dozen small ingots from his pocket and gave one to each newspaper. These newspapers are a tael of small ingots, this is their Ding a month's salary, so happy that they kowtow again and again to thank them, and then leave, these newspapers later said that Jinke Xie Yuan is not only a talent, but also a "wealth".

After the newspapers left, the guys at the inn also begged for money, and He Zhiyuan gave out more than a dozen taels of silver. The innkeeper was so happy that he said to the guys, "Go and buy the Earthquake Thunder, and celebrate it today." In the future, our inn will be renovated and renamed Xie Yuan Building! ”

An inn and a subject actually won four people, one of them is Xie Yuan, such a good thing since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, Jinan City is still the first time, naturally to celebrate, the keen-eyed innkeeper naturally to grasp this opportunity, good publicity, celebrate!

That night, the innkeeper set up a sumptuous banquet for the four of them, personally took his men to He Zhiyuan's room, and gave Zhao Nai, Xu Feng and Wang Yun three good guest rooms, and sent the guys to the Minghu Hotel to bring the luggage of the three of them, and officially became the tenants of the Quancheng Inn, and all of this was free.

It can be seen that once he is lifted, his identity changes from "Xianggong" to "Master", and even the owner of the inn looks at him differently and stammers.

He Zhiyuan and the others were not polite, and enjoyed all the gifts of the innkeeper with peace of mind. The four of them are all in high spirits, especially Zhao Nai, who has been taking the exam for so many years, and this year he finally won the lift, and his ranking is not low, so he is naturally very excited. In fact, since hearing the news of Zhongju, Zhao Nai has been excited.

Before the banquet began, He Zhiyuan asked Yin Lifu to bring eight hundred taels of silver, and said to Zhao Nai: "Brother Dongqiao, this is your pen, eight hundred taels of silver." ”

Zhao Nai looked at the eight hundred taels of ingots in front of him and was excited. This was the first time he had seen so much silver, and he stammered a little and said, "Brother Wen Yu, the food and drink these days are all yours, how can you break the bank again." ”

"Brother Dongqiao, you're out of sight, only a few dollars for eating and drinking? Moisturizing the pen is moistening the pen, how can it be entangled with eating and drinking? ”

At this time, Xu Feng also said: "Brother Dongqiao, don't shirk, just do what you set at the beginning, and Brother Wen Yu doesn't care about this money." But for Brother Dong Qiao, this is an urgent solution. ”

Wang Yun also chimed in: "Yes, Brother Dongqiao! In this way, you have to go to the capital next year to participate in the spring festival, you have studied hard for so many years, isn't it just to change yourself and change the fate of the whole family? ”

When Zhao Nai heard this, he said stubbornly: "No! Changing the fate of the family is a small matter, but changing the fate of the people in the world is a big matter! ”

"Brother Dongqiao, these are all your own people here, don't talk about books anymore, get promoted and make a fortune, and the glory of the court is the first!"

When He Zhiyuan heard Wang Yun's words, he couldn't help frowning slightly, and said in his heart, it seems that the purpose of this person's study is to be promoted and make a fortune and glorify the court. In fact, in this day and age, the purpose of most readers is not just that!

Xu Feng continued: "Brother Dongqiao, don't shirk, no matter how ambitious you are, as long as you pass the exam, you can show your ambitions, don't stick to it now." ”

He Zhiyuan heard Xu Feng's words very pleasantly, so he continued: "Brother Xiwen is right, a gentleman does great things, why bother to bend a few hundred taels of silver, you must accept it!" ”

Under the persuasion of everyone, Zhao Naicai accepted these silver taels with an embarrassed face.

After a while, the wine and food were put on the table, and everyone began to drink, and after a few glasses of wine, everyone's words increased, especially Zhao Nai's words were extraordinarily much!

This meal was drunk until the third watch, and in the end, only He Zhiyuan was still listening to Zhao Nai's incessant chatter, and it can be said that he listened to Zhao Nai's talk almost all night, because he was the oldest, experienced the most ups and downs, and was the most emotional.

He Zhiyuan sat at the table, listened quietly, and listened to Zhao Nai's ups and downs over and over again. He Zhiyuan knew that what Zhao Nai needed most at this time was to tell and vent. In the past thirty years, he has experienced so much, too much. He needed to vent all the resentment that had accumulated in his heart tonight.

Zhao Nai snapped his fingers and said: "Brother Wenyu, you are younger than me, richer than me, better looking than me, more likable than me, and better than me in everything." Even this exam is better than me. But you won the lift at one time, and I wasted more than ten years to get lifted. These days, I feel that I am no worse than you in terms of talent and learning, why do you say all this?!"

He Zhiyuan didn't explain or answer, he knew that what Zhao Nai needed now was venting, not some bullshit analysis. In the past few days, He Zhiyuan has become best friends with him, and Zhao Nai knows that He Zhiyuan gave him eight hundred taels of silver to help him, so that he can participate in the Spring Festival smoothly next year.

He Zhiyuan knew that after Zhao Nai's victory in Xie Yuan in history, he did not participate in the examination again, and a person like him, who had no power or power, could only spend his whole life in a small county after the middle move, and did nothing in his life. And Zhao Nai is a scholar who cares about the world, and He Zhiyuan needs such a person to work with him, even so, how can he not help him?

Therefore, now that he has been hit and the burden on his shoulders has been lifted, that scarred heart no longer needs to bear so much pain!

Therefore, He Zhiyuan has always accompanied him, not to appease, but to accompany, to accompany this hard-working eldest brother, and to say goodbye to the ups and downs and pain of the past!
