Volume 2 Jinghua Fengyun (II) Chapter 88 Sudden Change in the Wind and Cloud (II) (Four More Requests for Everything)

Stratus clouds on the chest!

Ride the wind and whip up!

When I came back to the Xu University Scholar's Mansion and went to find Xu Shuyan's son, I was quite impressed by the scholarly family of Xu Mansion.

When I came to Xufu again this time, Lu Chengfeng was actually familiar with the road, and I didn't need a little guy to lead the way, so I went straight to the largest study.

When I walked to the atrium, I saw a gray-haired back, slowly picking up the books that had been dried during the day in the courtyard.

It is already spring, and the air in Jinghua City is gradually filled with dense water vapor, which makes people always feel like a thin layer of fog on their bodies.

Today is a very good day, the sun is shining, and it is the most suitable place to dry books.

I saw the old man pacing in square steps, his steps slow and leisurely, graceful like a crane.

His silver hair, in the bright moonlight, seems to have a halo on the top of his head, which makes people forget that time is fleeting, but feels a kind of dazzling and stretching magic.

A gust of evening breeze blew, and the books that were still in the atrium before they had time to be packed up made a loud noise, and they flew up automatically, as if the heavens also wanted to take a look:

What kind of good book can make Old Master Xu such a treasure, and he personally takes it out from time to time to lie on his back to expose the sun.

The evening breeze murmured, Old Master Xu bowed down and bent over to work back and forth, and sighed with a broken thought in his mouth:

"Oh, this is the only ancient book! The weather in Jinghua City is too easy to get damp! ”

He shook his head as he spoke, holding the yellowed rare book in his hand, and the pity in his eyes was like looking at a little baby in need of careful care in his own infancy.

Lu Chengfeng watched for a while, seeing that Old Master Xu was intoxicated, and he couldn't bear to disturb him while cleaning up and looking at those books.

I heard that Old Master Xu cherishes his books like his life, and Lu Chengfeng finally saw it with his own eyes today.

People who love reading naturally feel that books are amorous and make people worry about their stomachs as if they were old friends.

There is a golden house in the book, there is Yan Ruyu in the book, there are thousands of sorrows and beautiful scenery in the book, everything is ......

"There are 3,000 words straight down in front of me, and there is no dust on my chest."

Lu Chengfeng couldn't help but sigh.

When the gray-haired old man heard this, he turned his head with a childlike joy in his eyes, and said with a smile:

"Not bad! Let me write it down! ”

When he got closer, it turned out to be Lu Chengfeng, with a pleased smile on his face, and he paused:

"It turned out that the little hall of Chengfeng came down! No wonder there is such a poetic talent! ”

"It's just that it's not talented, and I came to disturb Scholar Xu at night, and it was rude to ride the wind on the lower road."

Lu Chengfeng gave a big salute to Old Master Xu in the way of master and apprentice, and said respectfully.

Old Master Xu walked over, patted Lu Chengfeng's shoulder, and said with a smile:

"No rudeness, no rudeness! His Royal Highness can come, it is a celebration of my Xu Mansion! The people in my house didn't come to spread the word, I don't know how long it has been since the little hall came down? ”

Old Master Xu has looked a little less relieved recently, but his eyes are still in good spirits, and his small eyes are narrowed into a slit when he laughs, looking like an ordinary grandfather from an ordinary family looking at his grandson, full of love.

The first time Lu Chengfeng saw Old Master Xu in the Jiuxianju Dojo, he had another inexplicable sense of intimacy.

This kind of eye edge makes people close to the end of the world, and they can know each other without seeing each other a few times.

Sure enough, as soon as he arrived at the inner hall where Old Master Xu was entertaining, it was the elegant place to sit in a large study connected to him.

Before Lu Chengfeng could open his mouth to report, Old Master Xu slowly poured a cup of tea and asked with a smile:

"Your Highness, have you encountered any problems? Could it be related to the February spring test in three days' time? ”

Lu Chengfeng hurriedly put down the little Tianmu Zhan in his hand who was playing with it, got up and bowed deeply:

"What Old Master Xu said is extremely true! In the next place, I encountered a matter related to the scientific examination, and it was also related to the prince and the former prime minister Tang Yuanzhi's family, and I couldn't handle it for a while, so I asked the chief examiner Xu Daxue to decide! ”

Old Master Xu bowed slightly, his smiling eyes suddenly narrowed into a straight line, his eyes were full of light, his eyebrows frowned slightly, and he looked at Lu Chengfeng seriously, just waiting for his next words.

Lu Chengfeng felt that he had received the acquiescence of Old Master Xu, nodded, and told him what he had seen and heard in Jiuxianju tonight.

Old Master Xu listened to it, and his expression became more and more solemn.

The ravines and ravines on his face were all squeezed together by his serious expression, like a dark cloud suddenly pressing down on a tired hill.

After Lu Chengfeng finished reporting, he was still embarrassed to mention the little abacus in his heart, so he had to wait for Old Master Xu to open his mouth.

Old Master Xu suddenly seemed to have a kind of melancholy in the city of sorrow, extremely worried, and said bitterly:

"The most important thing in learning is to be content, but not enough. Buy and sell exam questions, this

It's self-pretending to be smart, but I'm afraid that being smart will be mistaken by being smart! ”

Lu Chengfeng lowered his head, and after softly reassuring, he asked seriously:

What Scholar Xu said was that this move seemed too smart, but it made a mistake in the future. It's just that I don't know if those two exam questions are really the questions tested in the second spring test in February this year? ”

Old Master Xu's eyes were shining, and he sighed:

"According to the practice of scientific examinations in previous years, the questions are all written by the next person. There are usually two sets of exam papers, one for the official exam and the other for spare. The two questions you just mentioned are indeed the ones in the spare exam paper. ”

After a heavy sigh, Old Master Xu nodded.

I didn't expect that the black-clothed warlock was talking about the real exam question!

Lu Chengfeng's heart moved, only to feel that his heart was beating for a while, he forced his composure, calmed down, and asked:

"I don't understand why someone leaked the exam questions, but it was the leaked spare exam questions, and the informal one? It's really puzzling, I don't know who did it? Mr. Xu, apart from you as the author of the exam questions, how many other people may have been exposed to the exam papers? ”

"According to the rules of my imperial examination, after I finished the question, it was handed over to the Ministry of Rites, and the Ministry of Rites was handed over to the printing bureau designated by the imperial court for unified printing, and the final printed examination papers were uniformly sealed by the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Rites after the long strip of the examination was sealed in eight big characters. Until the day of the second spring of February, in the examination room of the Confucian Temple, it was opened in public on the spot. ”

Old Master Xu went through the process of producing and sealing the imperial examination papers of this dynasty.

"In other words, after you have finished the exam papers, and during the period between the time before the main exam, the exam questions and exam papers are in the hands of the Ministry of Rites? Only people from the Ministry of Rites are likely to know the content of the exam questions? ”

Lu Chengfeng followed Old Master Xu's words and continued.

"By the way, where is the printing office? Is it possible that the craftsman of the printing office leaked out? ”

Lu Chengfeng frowned and continued to ask.

"No way. In order to avoid the leakage of examination questions, the imperial court designated the printing of scientific examination papers by the Imperial Printing Bureau. This printing office is located in the palace, and the craftsmen of the printing office are all fathers-in-law in the palace. Not only that, but the emperor also required them to be closed and isolated from the world after printing the examination papers, and they could not leave the small building of the printing office until after the examination in the second spring of February. ”

Old Master Xu cut the railway.

"That means that the person who leaked the exam questions must be among the many officials of the Ministry of Rites!"

Lu Chengfeng boldly asserted.
