Master Zhang was reading some letters in the study, when there was a sudden knock on the door from outside, and then a person's words came in from the outside: Is the master inside?

Master Zhang put down a letter he was looking at and said: I'm here, come in.

A subordinate pushed open the door of the study and walked in, saluted and reported to Master Zhang: Master Yu, the prefect of Suzhou is visiting.

Hearing this, Master Zhang was stunned and said: The prefect of Suzhou is here.

After that, he paused, and then said: Please go to the living room and wait for a while, and I will arrive later.

The subordinate hurriedly replied: Yes.

Turned around and went out.

The prefect of Suzhou was sitting on a chair in the living room, drinking a bowl of fragrant tea brought to him.

Master Zhang hurriedly walked in.

The prefect of Suzhou hurriedly put down the tea bowl and stood up from the chair to salute Master Zhang and said: The student greets the teacher.

Master Zhang waved his hand and said, "The prefect doesn't need to be polite, sit down and talk."

The two sat down on two chairs, and the next person gave Master Zhang a bowl of tea and turned to go down.

Master Zhang asked: Why did the prefect suddenly visit, did something happen?

The prefect of Suzhou smiled and said: Teacher, the student is here to give you the old goodbye.

Hearing this, Master Zhang was stunned and asked: Daoxi, where does the joy come from?

Suzhou Prefect Dao: The student just received a letter from the capital, and there are six people in the Beijing examination in Suzhou Prefecture this year, one of whom won the first place in high school, and was appointed by the emperor as the champion, and this person is the son-in-law of the teacher, Li Yinglong.

Hearing this, Master Zhang blurted out: This kid really won the first place in the exam.

After that, he said in a tone that didn't believe much: Lord Prefect, didn't you make a mistake and rename?

The prefect of Suzhou smiled and said: Teacher, you can't be wrong, only one of the people in my Suzhou Mansion who participated in the Beijing examination this year is named Li Yinglong.

Hearing this, Master Zhang was stunned and said: How did this kid get in, and he also took the first place in the exam, it's really a ghost.

Suzhou Prefect Dao: The exam questions for this year's Beijing examination are three words, turtle, ghost, cabinet, or write an article, or make a poem, but Ling Zi painted five paintings, the emperor was very interested in these five paintings, so he summoned Wu Daxue of Guozijian to decipher, and finally found that there was a word hidden in these five paintings.

As he spoke, Governor Wu took out a piece of paper from his sleeve and handed it to Master Zhang: This is the word that Ling's son-in-law hid in the painting, I asked someone to copy a copy, and the teacher will take a look.

Master Zhang took it and looked at it hurriedly, then looked at it carefully, and then said to himself: Good words, good words, is it really that I have lost my eyes.

Zhang Yunfang was sitting alone in the small wooden pavilion thinking about his thoughts, Zhang Xiangui walked in from outside the garden, and saw Zhang Yunfang alone in the pavilion and walked over.

Hearing the footsteps, Zhang Yunfang turned his head to look out, and saw that it was Zhang Xiangui, and couldn't help but ask in a daze: Brother, why did you come here, is there something wrong?

Hearing this, Zhang Xiangui pretended to be and said: Brother has seen that my sister has lost weight in the past few days, I guess it must have been disturbed by Li Gongzi's affairs, I don't feel at ease, so I came over to take a look.

Zhang Yunfang said: Thank you brother for your concern.

Zhang Xiangui said: Sister, you don't need to worry so much, it is expected that Li Gongzi will not pass the exam, and you don't want to think about it, just rely on his ability to take the exam.

Hearing this, Zhang Yunfang was stunned and asked: What did you say?

Zhang Xiangui made up nonsense: Zhao Xiaowang brought me a message in the capital, but Li Gongzi was not admitted.

Zhang Yunfang said: No, Liu San, a subordinate of our house, heard a letter outside, saying that Li Gongzi was admitted to the Jinshi, and he was still the first place.

Zhang Xiangui said: That's a miscommunication, nothing like that, Zhao Xiaowang wrote to say that Li Gongzi not only failed to be admitted, but also because he vented his dissatisfaction with the court, he was arrested by the government and put in prison, it's hard to say what crime he was sentenced to, sister, don't think about that guy who can't make it, think about other people.

Hearing this, Zhang Yunfang's face turned pale, and his voice trembled: "What, did you ------ you say that Li Gongzi was arrested by ------ and locked up in ------, is it really ------ true?"

Zhang Xiangui's mouth moved and he was about to answer, but he heard Chunlan's words from outside the pavilion: Of course it's not true, miss, the eldest young master is lying to you, don't believe it.

With that, he stepped into the pavilion.

Zhang Xiangui glared at Chunlan and said: What I said is true, it was the news that Zhao Xiaowang got in the capital, and the special person sent it to me.

Chunlan pouted and said: Come on, young master, don't stare here and talk nonsense, okay, the prefect of Suzhou has come to our house to report the good news to the master, my uncle won the first place in the Beijing high school entrance examination this time, and the emperor nodded his head to the top prize.

Zhang Yunfang's face turned red again all of a sudden, and she couldn't help but say excitedly: Chunlan, is it true ------?

Chunlan Dao: Of course it's true, isn't this old lady asking me to call the young lady over.

Hearing this, Zhang Yunfang turned his head and glared at Zhang Xiangui fiercely, and scolded angrily: Damn, really hateful.

After that, he pulled Chunlan and hurriedly walked out.

Looking at the back of the second daughter walking, Zhang Xiangui couldn't help but scold: This Suzhou prefect is really nosy, what a joy to come to report.

Zhang Yunfang and Chunlan walked into the living room, and saw that there were only her father and her mother in the room, and they didn't see the prefect of Suzhou, so they couldn't help but turn their faces to Chunlan on the side to look at them suspiciously.

Chunlan Dao: The prefect was still there just now.

Master Zhang said: Governor Liu just left.

Hearing this, Zhang Yunfang asked in a trembling voice: Governor Liu's mansion is he here------

Mrs. Zhang said: Yunfang, Governor Liu is here to deliver the letter, Li Gongzi is in high school, and he did take the first place in the exam.

Master Zhang said with emotion: I may be really old, and I actually looked away, but this kid is indeed a genius, and he was admitted to the top prize without studying.

Mrs. Zhang stood up and stretched out her hand to drag Zhang Yunfang to her side and sat down and said: I knew that Li Gongzi was sure of this Beijing test, master, do you remember the day before Li Gongzi left, when you talked to him and put forward conditions to him, he looked like he didn't care, and I knew at that time that he would definitely pass the test.

Master Zhang said: But I thought he was arrogant and unscrupulous.

Zhang Yunfang asked: Dad, mother, didn't you ask Governor Liu what article Li Gongzi did?

Master Zhang said: Li Gongzi didn't do articles, he only painted five paintings.

Hearing this, Zhang Yunfang was stunned and said: What, he painted five paintings, what is he painting for?

Master Zhang said: Today's Beijing test, the exam questions from the court are three words, turtle, ghost, cabinet, or make an article, or write a poem, but Li Gongzi painted five paintings, the emperor was very interested in these five paintings, so he summoned the Wu scholar of Guozijian to decipher these five paintings, and it turned out that there was a poem hidden in the painting.

After that, Master Zhang handed the piece of paper in his hand to Zhang Yunfang and said: This is the poem of Li Gongzi copied by Governor Liu, Yunfang, you can read it yourself.

Zhang Yunfang took it and read it:

turtle

ghost

cabinet

Turtle on the ghost,

Turtle in the cabinet,

Turtle ghost cabinet turtle song to the sky.

Qingming River Tomb,

Green grass kite floating,

An annual ladies tour.

red dust rolling,

waves,

Thousands of miles of mountains and rivers at your fingertips.

After reading it, she burst into tears, she hurriedly took out a handkerchief and wiped her tears, and said excitedly: Dad, mother, this word is so well written.

Master Zhang said: My uncle is a rare genius, and he actually thought of the hidden words in the painting, which is so wonderful, so wonderful.

Mrs. Zhang stretched out her hand and gently stroked Zhang Yunfang's head and said, "Yunfang, you see it really accurately, you really have eyesight.

Hearing this, Zhang Yunfang blushed, and said embarrassedly: Mother, how can my daughter have any eyesight, my daughter just abides by the ancient precept that a good woman does not look for a second husband, and at that time my daughter didn't know if Li Gongzi could really pass the exam, and even thought that he would not be able to pass the exam at all, but her daughter's determination at that time was that she would not marry Li Gongzi.

Mrs. Zhang said: Yun Fang, you obey it well, fortunately I didn't listen to your father at the beginning, married to that Zhao Xiaowangye, my mother looked at him at a glance and felt that he was not a good thing, but your father still took him as a treasure.

Hearing this, Master Zhang said embarrassedly: Madam, don't say that, I'm not for my daughter's good, once our daughter marries a Bai Ding who is nothing, won't this life be over.

Hearing this, Zhang Yunfang said lightly: The daughter wants to marry Li Gongzi, whether he is in it or not, the daughter doesn't care, as long as he is good to his daughter, the daughter will be satisfied.

Master Zhang said: Could it be that Li Gongzi didn't take the Jinshi exam, and his daughter had to marry him?

Zhang Yunfang said in a firm tone: Yes, my daughter will not marry if I am not Li Gongzi, if my father insists on stopping her, my daughter will only die.

Hearing this, Mrs. Zhang was shocked and said: God! Fortunately, Li Gongzi is in high school, otherwise------

After that, Mrs. Zhang's face sank and said: It doesn't matter, my mother will support her daughter at all times, if your father dares to object, my mother will fight with this old thing.

Hearing this, Master Zhang hurriedly waved his hand and said: It's serious, it's serious, at that time, I just put forward such a request to Li Gongzi to motivate him to make progress, if he really didn't pass the exam, and Yunfang has to marry him, I won't force it, our family is not a place without him, and there is no food for him.

Zhang Yunfang said: God is really kind to me, and he didn't let me suffer extraordinarily.

After a pause, he said: Dad, mother, do you know, Li Gongzi doesn't want to climb our family's family, I have heard from his words that he came to our house this time to withdraw from his family, how many times has he hinted in front of his daughter, if it wasn't for his daughter's insistence, his daughter's relationship with him would have been blown a long time ago.

Chunlan suddenly interjected: Miss, God is really helping you.

Hearing this, the three of them were stunned and asked in unison: What?

Chunlan Dao: On the first day that Li Gongzi came, if it wasn't for the eldest prince and the little prince Zhao who made a bad move, stopped Li Gongzi from harming others, and let Li Gongzi meet the master smoothly, this marriage would have been secretly withdrawn by the master.

Hearing this, Master Zhang hurriedly said: How could Master Ben do this.

Who knows, Mrs. Zhang said in a very affirmative tone: You will definitely do this, you will definitely do it.

After that, he turned his head to Chunlan and said: Chunlan, you are right, God is helping us Yunfang.

Zhang Yunfang raised his head to the sky and said sincerely: God, thank you for your help, thank you for your fulfillment.
