Chapter 292: Gongsun County Cheng

How much suspense there is, Liu Erjo passed the township test. {First Reading}

Under Du Zhigui and Zhao Ying, he ranks in the top three, and his ranking is good, but looking at Liu Ertiao's appearance, he seems to be a little indignant, and he has always been unhappy, as if someone owes him a few big bucks.

Holding an oil-paper umbrella, Liu Yiyi stood with the second child of their family, and they were surrounded by some young scholars who were either shouting with joy or shaking their heads and sighing, and the heavy rain outside could not hide their enthusiasm for coming to see the list.

Liu Yiyi turned his head and glanced around, there are more people who come to see the list today, and there are more people from poor families who are dressed plainly, and most of them end up sighing.

And the children of aristocratic and wealthy families like Du Zhigui and Zhao Ying rarely came, but a few people who looked like family members came to see it and turned to leave.

Shaking his head lightly, Liu Yiyi pulled their second child back to the carriage, no matter what others did, Liu Ertiao was able to win, it was a happy event.

"What? Are you feeling unconvinced? I think that Zhao Ying's talent is far inferior to you, why can she be on your head? Glancing at the unhappy Yanagi Nijo next to him, Yanagichi chuckled, closed the curtain of the carriage, and instructed the coachman to drive forward.

"Big brother, Zhao Ying is my brother, I should have congratulated him for being on the list, but," Liu Ertiao glanced at Liu Yiyi, frowned lightly and said: "His talent and learning, although he is not bad in the private school, but he has always been in the middle, how can he be admitted to the top three at once?" I don't understand. ”

"Alas, in the end, he is just a little scholar who has never seen the world." glanced at Liu Erjo. Liu Yiyi sighed softly in his heart.

Closing the curtains, Liu Yiyi leaned lightly against the window, glanced at Liu Ertiao, and said softly: "Caixue? It's just a sentence from the examiner, as long as you think about the identity behind him, you can understand.

Liu Yiyi felt the need to mention this second brother, and said, "Aren't you there, among the people who came to see the list today." Except for you. There were three or five other people. Are most of the others outsiders? Why didn't those who were on the list come, or only sent a subordinate to investigate, as if they didn't care much? If you have a heart, you can still appear, among the people on the list. How many children of the official eunuch clan are there, and how many people are poor and poor? ”

"Big brother, what do you mean, someone cheats?" Liu Erjo's face changed, and a trace of anger flashed in his eyes.

has a sense of justice, but it's just a hot-headed indignant youth, Liu Yiyi shook his head lightly, looked at Liu Ertiao and said, "Fraud? Do you have proof? You say it. It will only make some people hate you. It just makes you more troublesome. How many times have I told you that you want to be an official, to be a big official. Your mind must always be calm, don't talk nonsense when it's hot, don't know what to say, this is a taboo for officials. ”

"But?" Liu Erjo just wanted to open his mouth to refute, but was interrupted by Liu Yiyi: "There is nothing, the results on the list are all judged by the examiner, very fair, no one favoritism, no one cheats, even if there is, it is no longer important, the important thing is that you can pass the township test, and you will have to pass the provincial test and the re-examination of the Ministry of Officials in the future, if you are not satisfied with this way of judging, when you have enough power, you will change it yourself." ”

Although it's a little dark, but in the officialdom, how many white places there are, it's not a bad thing to let Liu Erjo see it clearly earlier.

"So, I was able to pass the township exam and rank above the top three, not because of how good my talent is, but because the examiner thinks that my family is good, and my mentor is an official in Chang'an City, so he gave it?" Liu Erjo is not a stupid person, and he quickly figured out some joints, but looking at his appearance, he was very disappointed. {First Reading}

"Yes and no." Liu Yiyi chuckled and said to him: "If your article is incomprehensible and smelly, even if you are a prince, those examiners will not take a fancy to you, after all, there will be a poor inspection, and they don't want to make trouble for themselves, so if you can be pushed to the top three by them, your talent is still good." ”

"This, this," for a long time, Liu Erjo seemed to understand something, and sat there weakly, silent.

If this is still the case, wouldn't the officialdom be even more chaotic? Unconsciously, Liu Erjo's desire to be an official was shaken.

"You don't have to be discouraged," seeing that Liu Erjo's will seemed to be a little depressed, Liu Yiyi patted him on the shoulder and said: "Although the imperial examination is a little unfair, it also gives the poor students of the world a chance, and the truly talented people still have a chance." Moreover, today's emperor is wise and decisive, appointing people on the basis of merit, and in the officialdom, the rule of officials is also clear, as long as he can cross the ditch of the imperial examination

With the court, your skills will not be buried. ”

"Well, big brother is right!" Liu Erjo nodded his head, and his eyes gradually regained some of his brilliance.

Liu Yiyi nodded lightly, and did not say any more, leaning back softly against the car window, listening to the sound of the rain outside.

When I came, the ditch at the head of the village was more than half water, and the land that had been dry for nearly half a year had drunk enough rain and was close to saturation.

However, fortunately, Chang'an is the national capital, and the court will not let the flood flow here anyway, and their three plains can be regarded as stained with some brilliance, except for the flooding of crops and the accumulation of more rain, there is not too much trouble.

"The owner," when the carriage arrived in front of the mansion, as soon as it stopped, Li Biao greeted him in a robe, and after giving a salute to Liu Yiyi, he whispered to Liu Yiyi: "There is an official in the mansion, saying that he is the county magistrate in the county, and he is now sitting in the hall. ”

"The county magistrate in the county?" Liu Yiyi was stunned slightly, it seems that after the arrival of the new county Cheng, he has never seen it, how could this county master run here on such a rainy day?

Stretching out the umbrella, Liu Yiyi and Liu Ertiao got off the carriage together, and those who could come to Sanyuan as a county magistrate were not ordinary people, Liu Yiyi didn't dare to slack off, led Liu Ertiao, and walked quickly to the living room.

In the living room, Liu Wuchen was bending over to stand in front of a young man in civilian clothes, whispering with him to speak, seeing Liu Yiyi and Liu Er coming back, Liu Wuchen confessed to the young man, and quickly greeted them, and when Liu Yiyi and them walked forward, he saluted: "The eldest young master, the second young master, Lord Gongsun has been waiting here for a long time." ”

"Well, Wuchen will go down first," Liu Yiyi nodded lightly, raised his eyes and looked at the Gongsun Lord in Liu Wuchen's mouth, and when he saw the face of Gongsun County, Liu Yiyi was busy instructing Liu Wuchen: "Go to the stove room and say, prepare more wine and food for lunch, the young master wants to leave this Gongsun County Cheng to eat." ”

"Yes, young master!" Liu Wuchen replied softly, and then exited the door.

"A virtuous brother, don't come unharmed? Hehe, I can't imagine that you and my brother, after a goodbye, we will meet again so soon. Gongsun Hannan stood up, chuckled and bowed to Liu Yiyi.

"The younger brother didn't expect that this newly arrived county prince would be the eldest brother of Hannan, if he knew, the younger brother would have come to visit him a long time ago." Liu Yiyi also chuckled and returned the salute and invited Gongsun Hannan to sit down.

"Brother Wei has just arrived, and he has been dealing with some remaining cases left over from the previous county for the past two days, and he has no time to take care of him, and then there is a township test, the rainy period, and now he finally has leisure, so he came to the virtuous brother, hehe," Gongsun Hannan glanced at Liu Erjo and said, "I think this little brother is the virtuous brother of Erjo, right?" Well, it is really a talent, and it is rare to be among the top three in Sanyuan County in the township test. ”

"Thank you Gongsun for your compliment, the students are ashamed." Liu Ertiao bowed down and saluted Gongsun Hannan, since he knew some of the inside stories of the township test, his heart had long lost the joy after passing the township test.

"Brother Erjo doesn't need to see the outside like this, with Brother Ichijo, just call me big brother," Seeing that Liu Erjo didn't have a little pride on his face, Gongsun Hannan couldn't help but nod lightly, not arrogant or discouraged, this is like the appearance of a talented man, much better than his younger brother who only knows how to use guns and sticks.

"In this way, the little brother will be hairpinned, Brother Hannan!" got up and arched his hand at Gongsun Hannan, and Liu Ertiao screamed softly.

"Well, okay, let's sit down quickly, Brother Nijo, we are not outsiders, so we don't have to be so polite." Gongsun Hannan waved his hand to Liu Ertiao and motioned for him to sit down.

"Brother Hannan moved from Wusheng to Sanyuan, and his official position was reduced and promoted, which is really a happy event, and the younger brother is here to say good news to Brother Hannan." Liu Yiyi took the hot tea brought by his subordinates, and said to Gongsun Hannan with a warm smile.

"Uh," Gongsun Hannan glanced at Liu Yiyi, and said with a wry smile: "Brother Yi Xian said that he laughed, although it is good to be an official in Sanyuan, but what he likes more for his brother is still the place of sorrow, otherwise he would not have worked hard to run to Jiangnan for his brother in the first place." If it weren't for the emperor's sudden decree this time, ordering his brother to take office here, his brother would not have arrived here anyway. ”

"Huh? Why is that? Liu Yiyi was a little puzzled, looking at the previous officials, it seemed that he had received some great favor to be able to come to Sanyuan as an official, and he was very happy, how could this Gongsun Hannan be like this?
