Chapter 67: I'd rather bend than bend and get angry
After the two came out, Ma Ruoya said goodbye to everyone and left.
"Xiao Mo, when did you have an extra cousin? Why have I never heard of it? Zhao En asked curiously.
Lin Mo said with a wry smile: "I just recognized it today, okay, let's say so first, let's prepare it and report it tomorrow." ”
Seeing this, everyone didn't say anything, and Liu Xin'er looked at Lin Mo a little strangely, but she didn't say anything.
In the evening, Lin Mo was just about to read a book, Liu Xin'er knocked on the door, after Lin Mo opened the door, Liu Xin'er pulled Lin Mo into the courtyard and asked straight to the point: "Brother Mo, that cousin is a young lady, right?" Lin Mo nodded, and said helplessly: "I knew I couldn't hide it from you." ”
"Then you really want to go to the county exam with Miss?" Liu Xin'er asked curiously.
"I don't agree with what to do, with her character, even if I don't agree, I'm afraid she will find a way to participate, it's better to be with me, I can watch her." Lin Mo said helplessly.
Liu Xin'er nodded when she heard this, she knew that although Ma Ruoya's character looked soft and weak, she was actually very strong and stubborn, and the things she recognized would not change. Liu Xin'er didn't speak, but just told Lin Mo to read well, and then stopped saying anything after the exam.
Lin Mo and Zhao Heng lay on the table together at night and lit the lamp and read the book, which made Lin Mo feel like he was back before the college entrance examination.
The next morning, the two came to the gate of the county ya, and at this time, Ma Ruoyan should be "Luo Ning" and Wu Wenyan had already arrived at the gate of the county ya.
A few people greeted each other first, and then Wu Wenyan led a few people in, and at this time he met a person head-on, who was Zhao Zhutou.
"I've seen Master Wu, why are you free to come over today? Are you here to see the magistrate and the county? ”
Wu Wenyan smiled and shook his head: "The adults have a lot of opportunities, how dare the old man disturb the adults, this time I brought a few people over to report and participate in the county exam." ”
"Oh, I see, since it was Master Wu who brought the person must be a young talent. I'll see, huh? Lin Mo, why are you here too?"
Lin Mo looked at Zhao Zhutou and said with a smile: "I've seen Zhao Zhutou, I made a special trip to report this time and participate in the county test." ”
"Yes, yes, you should take the county exam, otherwise you will bury talents. By the way, I have to patrol the streets, just take you over and talk about it when you have time. After that, he hugged his fists and said goodbye to a few people.
Wu Wenyan was very surprised how Lin Mo was so familiar with Zhao Zhutou, Lin Mo simply talked about the experience of investigating the case with Zhao Pu in the world, and Wu Wenyan was also surprised when he heard it.
This county Ya Linmo has been here twice, but he is not very familiar with it, and Wu Wenyan used to be a teacher at the county school and often came here, so he is very familiar.
Under the leadership of Wu Wenyan, Lin Mo and the three of them walked through the corridor to the front of a group of houses, and there were signs hanging on the doors of each room, with different characters written on them, including "household", "ceremony", "work", "money and grain", etc., Lin Mo entered the room with "ceremony". When I entered the door, I saw a man in a green robe, sitting at a table, looking through something.
Seeing Wu Wenyan coming, he hurriedly got up to greet him: "Master Wu, what is the reason for coming this time?" ”
"There are three candidates here who are going to take the county exam, and I brought them here to report today." Saying that, Wu Wenyan pointed at Lin Mo and the others.
"Since it was brought by Master Wu, it must also be a young talent, so I will bring you paper, and you can write it according to the requirements." As he spoke, he brought pen and paper to a few people.
Lin Mo and the three of them first wrote down their resumes, that is, where they were born, where they lived, how many people in their family and so on. Wu Wenyan helped write a knot to ensure that the three of them would not cheat.
then wrote the mutual knot, at this time Lin Mo brushed his heart, the three of them should have written the names of three people in three mutual ties, Lin Mo and Ma Ruoyan only wrote the names of the two, and Zhao Heng's wrote the names of Lin Mo and Zhao Heng.
Lin Mo did this to avoid Zhao Heng who would be implicated in case something happened in the future. When the three of them were done, they handed the paper to the little official.
The little official was just about to look, when a voice came from outside the door.
"Brother Wu should have spoken to the official in advance this time, so that the official can prepare a banquet for Brother Wu." Someone approached the house, and a few people found out that it was Zhou Qian, the county leader.
"Haha, Zhou Xiancheng is polite, you are busy with official business, how can the old man disturb you." Wu Wenyan said with a smile.
"Brother Wu said this is really out of sight, I think that Brother Wu participated in the examination and won the first Jinshi since the founding of the People's Republic of China for my Qinan County in one fell swoop. Winning glory for me is a model for my Nanan literati. As a county minister, it is reasonable to invite Brother Wu to a banquet. ”
"Why mention the old things, the old man is just a teacher now, how can he talk about a role model." Wu Wenyan was a little disappointed in his eyes.
Zhou Qian had no choice but to change the topic when he saw it: "These are the students brought by Brother Wu?" Sure enough, they are all talents, huh? Isn't this Lin Mo? Zhou Qian pretended to be surprised and said.
Lin Mo knew that it was going to be bad as soon as he heard it, this Zhou Qian had been against him everywhere in the restaurant last time, and this time he estimated that he would have to entertain himself again.
Lin Mo had no choice but to step forward and say respectfully: "I've seen Zhou Xiancheng." ”
"Well, I saw this Lin Mo last time in the restaurant, this son is quick and brilliant, and he is a rare treasure. In the future, he will definitely make great achievements, Brother Wu's vision is really not bad, and the other official admires it. Zhou Qian said with a smile.
"Huh? Is he complimenting me?" Lin Mo looked incredulous, originally thought it would be a sneer, who would have thought that it would be a compliment. Not only Lin Mo felt strange, but Ma Ruoya was also very surprised, this attitude was very different from the last time she was in the restaurant, which made people confused.
"In this county examination, this official hopes that you will carefully follow the teachings of Master Wu, think twice, be wise and wise, report the suffering of the cold window, and show the ambition of Lingyun."
"Lord Xie Xiancheng instructs." Lin Mo and the three thanked in unison. Then Wu Wenyan and a few people left.
Watching a few people walk away, Zhou Qian squinted his eyes, not knowing what he was thinking.
"Oops, it's wrong." The little official said.
Zhou Qian turned around and asked, "What's wrong?" ”
"Lord Cheng of the county, the names of these mutual knots are less written, and the villain will let them come back and write all the names."
After the little official finished speaking, he was about to call Lin Mo and the three of them back, Zhou Qian looked at it and shook his head and said: "It's okay, it's just that the name is omitted, I guess it's the first time to participate in the scientific examination, and I don't know these rules very well." This is not a big deal, there is no need to trouble Master Wu and them, let this be fine. ”
The little official nodded when he heard this, although it is a county test, there are not so many requirements, for some big families, this is just a formality, there is no need to be so serious, not to mention that with Wu Wenyan as a guarantee, there will be no problems. So the little official sorted out the knots and resumes of Lin Mo and put them on the bookshelf, and then didn't bother anymore.
Lin Mo and the three of them walked out of the gate of the county government, and Lin Mo asked suspiciously: "This week, the county seems to be familiar with the master?" Wu Wenyan listened and nodded: "At that time, the old man was admitted to the Jinshi, first entered the county government and then entered the government to do a school, this Zhou Qian was a student invigilated by the old man during the government examination. Speaking of which, the old man can be regarded as half of his husband. "Tixue is an official in charge of scientific examinations and government education, and he is the director of the Municipal Education Bureau.
Lin Mo was very surprised when he heard that there was such a relationship. "Then since Wu Fuzi has been admitted to the Jinshi and has done a scholarship, how can he go to the county to learn to be a gentleman again?"
Wu Wenyan shook his head after hearing this: "It's all an old adult, I don't want to mention it again, since you asked the old man, let's talk about it briefly." Saying that, Wu Wenyan looked up at the blue sky slightly, pondered for a while and said: "At that time, the old man was in charge of the scientific examination, and some of the exams were from prominent families, so they despised the scientific examination, regarded the scientific examination as a plaything, and arbitrarily changed the results of the scientific examination by means of their family background, and the officials at all levels covered each other and turned a blind eye. Later, he dug out that the old man had entered the examiner's house at that time, and impeached the old man for not coming properly, and the old man resigned from the official in anger, only saying that he was a showman, and later came to the county to learn and teach. ”
Listening to Wu Wenyan's bland words, Lin Mo and the three of them were really surprised, it is estimated that only the county commander and Ma Zhiyuan know about this matter, no wonder they are so polite to Wu Wenyan. However, this Wu Wenyan's temperament is really not suitable for officialdom. The tree is straight and easy to break, the person is straight and often defeated, and he is too straight to stay in the officialdom.
But Wu Wenyan then smiled and said: "Although this kind of behavior has not been completely eliminated, it has also made those people a lot more restrained, and the top ten in each scientific examination are relatively fair, and it can be regarded as creating more opportunities for those who are sincere in studying." ”
Looking at Wu Wenyanlin's heart, there was a sense of respect in his heart, this may be the integrity and persistence that a scholar should have, it is precisely because of people like them that this era will develop better.
"By the way, you have to remember what Zhou Xiancheng said, study hard, although Zhou Xiancheng is a bit high-minded, he is by no means a faint official, you will have the opportunity to ask him for advice in the future." Lin Mo and the others nodded in agreement, but they still wondered why Zhou Xiancheng's attitude towards him had changed, was it because of Wu Wenyan? But it's not like that's the reason.
"By the way, the old man wants to come out to live for a while, I wonder if you have an empty room to take in the old man for a while?" Wu Wenyan asked, Lin Mo was instantly moved when he heard it, this Wu Wenyan really had nothing to say to Lin Mo, Lin Mo said respectfully: "Of course there is a room, Master Wu can live as long as he wants." Wu Wenyan smiled and nodded.
"Xiao Heng, you go back to the house with the old man first, and come back together after the end of the hall, facing Luo Ning, you also go with the old man, just teach together."
Ma Ruoya hurriedly shook her head when she heard this: "Thank you, Master Wu, it's not convenient to go like this in the late life, so don't bother Master Wu." ”
"Don't worry, no one will gossip when the old man takes you over, and besides, the horsemen won't blame you for this." Wu Fuzi said with a smile.
Ma Ruoyan is really inconvenient, if she wears this dress and goes back and is discovered, Ma Zhiyuan may be mad.
Ma Ruoyan shirked and said that she already had a husband, and she was going back to study, Wu Wenyan gave up after hearing this, and left with Zhao Heng after saying goodbye to the two.
