There are still a few days before the release of the list, and it is rare for students to have such a relaxing leisure time after the exam, but it is said that they are relaxed, and their hearts are hanging high.

Mantuo closed the window, took out his sword and wiped it gently, but he thought in his heart, why didn't he see Xia Xiang come out? Yes, Xia Xiang must have read his mother's letter, and after learning the news of his mother's death, he was sad.

Xia Xiang was indeed reading his mother's letter at this time, but he was not sad, on the contrary, he was still a little happy, and he felt a heavy joy of great responsibility.

The mother's letter, in a few words, only said three things.

Before Xia Xiang opened his mother's letter, he didn't expect that something would happen to his mother.

First, as Xia Xiang thought, his mother taught him that "if you don't ask for preparation with others, if you can't check your body", and asked him to remember that "you can lose the state with one heart, and you can prosper the state with one heart, only between public and private", "cultivate your heart and govern your body, and then you can govern the world", and warned him that there are only three things for the way of an official, which is clear, cautious, and diligent......

Second, her mother told Xia Xiang that she had left Zhongshan Village and left incognito, so that Xia Xiang didn't have to worry about her, she would be fine, and when the time came, she would meet Xia Xiang. Xia Xiang just needs to keep in mind to cultivate his mind and govern his body, and then he can govern the world. If you are born a man, if you can't help the world in peace and stay by your parents' side every day, it will be in vain to be a son of man.

Third, the mother revealed a secret, Xia Xiang's father Xia Changde was originally two brothers, but Xia Xiang's uncle Xia Changdao died early due to illness, and before he died, his uncle entrusted his father to let Xia Xiang marry two wives, one room inherited Xia Changde incense, one room inherited Xia Changdao incense, Xia Xiang picked two doors on one shoulder, and he could marry two wives justifiably.

After reading his mother's letter, Xia Xiang suddenly had a feeling of being ridiculous. From the time of enlightenment, he was dedicated to "cultivating his mind and governing his body, and then he could govern the world", with lofty ambitions and a heart for the common people. Suddenly, his mother asked him to marry two wives and inherit two incense families, and he realized that in addition to serving the court and living up to the people, he also shouldered the important mission of inheriting the Xia family.

It turned out that his father's name was Xia Changde, if it weren't for him to inherit the Xia family's incense, his mother might not have told him who his father was. It's just that there is only one name, Xia Changde, whether it is life or death, and who is it, and his mother still doesn't mention it, which makes Xia Xiang helpless. What made him cry and laugh even more was that he didn't even know who his father was, but he accidentally appeared an uncle, an uncle who was no longer alive, or he hadn't even seen his father, and it was nothing if his uncle hadn't seen him. It's just that I want to inherit incense for my uncle and marry one more wife, how do I think it feels weird.

If you are admitted to the Jinshi, it is good to say, at least you have the foundation to live and live. If he doesn't win, not to mention that he has no entanglement to go home now, he doesn't even have a home, so he can only live in Beijing. How can a scholar who is still worried about his livelihood have the spare time to marry a two-room wife?

Xia Xiang is not worried about where his mother has gone, he has been dependent on his mother since he was a child, and he has blind trust and admiration for his mother, so he thinks that his mother will be fine. In ancient times, there were Meng's mother's three godsons, and now there is Sima as his mother painting Di's godson, who has read many great mother stories in history, and he also listed his mother as one of the great mothers who can go down in history.

The list will be released tomorrow, and whether it is the title of the gold list or the name of Sun Shan will be revealed. Xia Xiang thinks that whether he is poetry, scriptures or theories, he is all appropriate and fluent in answers, if he can judge the question fairly, the champion does not dare to say, the second-class jinshi background should not be a problem.

It's just that...... Wenchang's style tends to be conservative, and his articles are full of radical words, if he does not enter the eyes of Wenchangju, he will try to fail, and he is not even qualified for the temple examination, how can he face the saint to state the talent in his chest?

Xia Xiang pushed open the door, saw Shi'er and Zhang Hou walking in the courtyard, talking and laughing, Xiao Wu and Shen Bao played chess, pushed chess and admitted defeat, and replaced Teng Zhengyuan and Wu Yongwang, Teng Zhengyuan and Wu Yongwang joined forces to play against Shen Bao, but they did not have the upper hand. What's even funnier is that the two often argue about where to fall, and Shen Bao is very patient to wait for the two to argue for a result before going down.

Yes, Teng Zhengyuan and Wu Yongwang also live in the Quanyou Inn. Wu Yongwang is okay, he is calm when he is old, and he has no bad opinion of Xia Xiang, but Teng Zhengyuan has a deep prejudice against Xia Xiang because of Xia Cunxian, and he does not talk to Xia Xiang, but he and Shen Bao hit it off at first sight and became close friends. Teng Zhengyuan and Wu Yongwang were not interested in Zhang Hou, and for some reason, they were not even interested in saying a few words to Zhang Hou.

Naturally, Zhang Hou was also dismissive of the two. If it weren't for the time when he met Xia Xiang, he was often on the top of the Taipingju Restaurant in good times, which made Zhang Hou mistakenly think that Xia Xiang was also from a high-ranking official family, otherwise with Xia Xiang's background, Zhang Hou would also disdain to get acquainted. Zhang Hou was born in a family of eunuchs and eunuchs, and he only wanted to make friends with the children of princes and nobles.

Xia Xiang stood at the door for a moment, and suddenly heard the voice of an old man and a young man talking outside the door.

"Cao Sanlang, the old man has something important to discuss with Xia Langjun, you come back next time, you don't have to be with the old man, you don't have to be distracted by Xia Langjun."

"Mr. Jin Jia's words are wrong, Xia Langjun wants to see me more than you. The important things you say are just troublesome to him, not helpful, so why do you always bother him? ”

"Those who are rigid but not tough cannot achieve great things. Those who are tough but not rigid will be difficult to achieve great things. is to be a rare character like Xia Langjun, and you have to be tough and balanced to move him. ”

"What do you want him to do? No wonder he is rude, Mr. Jin Jia's desire to accept Xia Langjun as a disciple is wishful thinking. What kind of elegant character is Xia Langjun, how did he enter the medical practice? That's it, Mr. still put his mind away, don't miss people's future, don't miss your own affairs. Xia Langjun saw that he was about to win the champion and become a bachelor of Hanlin. ”

"Who said that Xia Langjun wanted to win the champion? He couldn't even pass the exam, and he was not eligible to participate in the palace exam, so which one was the champion? You're wishful thinking. ”

The voices of the two came from far and near, the door of the inn squeaked hoarsely, and Jin Jia and Cao Shujun walked in side by side.

Cao Shujun saw Xia Xiang standing at the door at a glance, and immediately walked quickly to Xia Xiang's front, pulled Xia Xiang over, rushed into the house, closed the door tightly, and smiled: "Mr. Jin Jia, please wait for a while, wait for me and Xia Langjun to finish talking, and then open the door to welcome guests." ”

Jin Jia and Cao Shujun met unexpectedly at the door of the Quanyou Inn, both of them had their own thoughts, and they both wanted to see Xia Xiang first, but Cao Shujun was one step faster, he was blocked out of the door, and he was so angry that he blew his beard.

"Shaft, shaft!"

Zhang Hou heard what Jin Jia said just now, he was very curious, came over, and gave a salute to Jin Jia: "Mr. Jin Jia is invited, under Zhang Hou, and Xia Langjun are scholars in the same year." I just listened to Mr. Fang's words, saying that Xia Langjun couldn't even pass the test, with Xia Langjun's talent, although he was not the champion, he had to explore the flowers......"

Jin Jia was simple-minded, and he didn't know that Zhang Hou's words had the intention of inquiry, so he immediately sneered: "The words are good, what can Xia Langjun do if he is a talented person?" Someone deliberately didn't let him pass the exam, even if he had the ability to pass the day, he could only fail the list. Will test the list, can not participate in the palace test to face the king, the champion, the list of eyes and Tanhua are all hand-picked by the emperor, which dynasty of him, Tanhua? According to the old man, it is better to follow the old man to study medicine. Good ministers and good doctors, one governing the country and one healer, are all the methods of Confucius and Mencius and sages. ”

Zhang Hou pulled Jin Jia behind the tree and asked in a low voice, "How did Mr. Dare to ask know that Xia Langjun was off the list?" The list will be released tomorrow. ”

Jin Jia smiled mysteriously, his nostrils turned to the sky, and snorted: "The old man heard what Wen Changju said with his own ears, how can it be fake?" ”

Shi Er exclaimed: "Isn't it necessary to obscure and transcribe the name for the exam? Although Wen Changju Wen Shangshu is the chief examiner, he has no right to check the candidate's original test papers, how can he know which test paper was made by Xia Langjun? ”

Pasting the name is to paste the candidate's name so that the examiner will not see it, so as not to cheat for personal gain. However, after the name is pasted, it can still be judged by the handwriting, and a transcription system that is more severe than the name of the name came into being. Transcription is a transcription of the candidate's test paper from beginning to end, except for the name, not a word. In this way, the examiner can only judge the candidate's talent from the article, and cannot open the door to his students and acquaintances from the name and handwriting.

Jin Jia smiled, stroked his beard, and the old god was there: "If you buy the person who transcribed it, let the person who transcribed it pay attention to Xia Xiang's test paper, and make a slight mark when transcribing it, you can distinguish it clearly." As the chief examiner, there are many ways to let whoever is not successful. ”

Zhang Hou's eyes flickered, and he lowered his head in contemplation. Shi Er kept kicking the tree and said, "How can this be? How so! Xia Langjun is so talented, will he fall off the list? It's unfair, it's unfair. ”

"Mr. Jin Jia, Wen Shangshu is the secretary of the Ministry of Rites of the Dynasty and an important minister of the court, how can he embarrass a little scholar?" Zhang Hou couldn't believe Jin Jia's words, and wanted to continue to ask clearly, "What's more, Xia Xiang and Wen Shangshu don't know each other, why did Wen Shangshu deliberately embarrass Xia Xiang?" ”

Jin Jia has nothing to do, he is idle, Zhang Hou is Xia Xiang's friend again, he saw Zhang Hou's concern, and he knew everything: "Why is Wen Shangshu embarrassed Xia Xiang, the old man doesn't know, maybe it's just that Wen Shangshu doesn't like Xia Xiang's style, and Xu Wen Shangshu is entrusted by others, anyway, no matter what the reason, Xia Xiang is out of play this year." Yesterday in the Three Princes' Mansion, when I was treating the Three Princes, Wen Changju talked about Xia Xiang with the Three Princes, and he clearly said that Xia Xiang was off the list. ”

Zhang Hou was shocked in his heart, first, he was shocked that Xia Xiang could get into the eyes of the three princes in the ears of Wenchangju? Xia Xiang is just a cloth cloth, born in a commoner, and even the third prince knows his name, could it be that Xia Xiang has some unknown origins? There are thousands of people in the year of Dabi, and only the first-class and second-class jinshi will be able to enter the eyes of the prince, and even the third-class fellow jinshi are difficult to be noticed by the prince.

The second was shocked that Wen Changju and the third prince actually wanted to block Xia Xiang's Jinshi road. How could Xia Xiang be able to alarm the third prince and take away his fame by Wen Changju, a dignified second-grade master, this matter is really strange and incredible.

No, after Zhang Hou was shocked, his heart was even more terrified, the third prince was not in charge of the Ministry of Rites, and Wen Changju was the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, but he reported the imperial examination to the third prince, indicating that the third prince exceeded his authority. Thinking of the current saint who was seriously ill and had no children under his knees, several thoughts quickly flashed through his mind, and he probably guessed something.

"I see, I see," Zhang Hou muttered, clasping his hands together, exposing the green tendons on his hands, and then punched the tree, and said indignantly, "I think what kind ......of person my virtuous brother Xia Xiang is, he should be the top student in high school, but there is a traitor in charge, and he has missed the future, which is hateful and hateful." Mr. Jin Jia, I wonder if I'm on the list? ”

"Your name is Zhang Hou?" Jin Jia watched coldly at Zhang Hou's regret for Xia Xiang's failure, the corners of his mouth turned up, and a meaningful smile flashed.

"Exactly." Zhang Houbi bowed slightly respectfully, although he thought that he had learned and came for the champion wholeheartedly, he was still a little uneasy in his heart, "Jianning people's clan, Zhang Fei's Zhang, thick and thin." ”

Zhang Hou...... Think about it. Jin Jia put his hands behind his back, bowed his head in contemplation, and only looked up after a while and said, "I don't know." ”

Zhang Hou almost jumped up in anger, he held his breath, he didn't dare to come out, a heart mentioned in his throat, he wanted to hear a clear result, he didn't want to wait for a long time, it turned out to be such an answer, he couldn't help but be disappointed and angry: "Is Mr. Jin Jia going to fool him?" ”

"Are you a fool or too self-righteous? There were thousands of people who failed to take the exam, and Wen Changju specifically pointed out Xia Xiang because he deliberately wanted to obstruct Xia Xiang's entrance examination. There are also hundreds of exams in the exam, if he singles out your name, doesn't it mean that you and Wen Changju have made an appointment in advance, and there is a suspicion of cheating? Jin Jia's eyes were blazing and looked directly into Zhang Hou's eyes, "Zhang Hou, did you bribe Wen Changju to let him open the door for you?" ”

"Don't dare, don't dare." Zhang Hou was drunk by Jin Jia, cold sweat flowed, although he was secretly glad that Xia Xiang was off the list, one less fierce rival, but he was also quite conceited about himself, and believed that he would be the top student in high school with his true talent, so he disdained favoritism, "Zhang Mou is upright and will never do anything worthy of the sage." ”

"Do what you say, don't just say pretty things and don't do serious things." Jin Jia was not moved by Zhang Hou's generous statement, and smiled coldly, "Xia Xiang failed the list, and if he can't participate in the palace examination, there will be one less person competing with you for the championship, you should be happy." ”

"The champion is something in my pocket, and it has nothing to do with whether Xia Langjun is off the list or not." Zhang Houcai would not admit that he was inferior to Xia Xiang, as soon as his eyebrows raised, he wanted to have a good reason with Jin Jia, but before he could speak, he was blocked by Shi Er's words.

"Okay, okay, it's important to talk about some serious things, Xia Langjun is off the list, how will he be good in the future? Second brother, you have to help Xia Langjun. Shi Erxiu's eyebrows were slightly tufted, her nose was wrinkled, and she had a worried expression, "Xia Langjun has no money and no one, what else can he do if he is not an official?" ”

"Worship Mr. Jin Jia as a teacher, and it is not bad to be a Confucian doctor." Zhang Hou began to think about Xia Xiang's livelihood, "There are also many Confucian students who study medicine in the Tang Dynasty, but they still taboo the name of Confucian medicine. The atmosphere of Daxia is clear, and every year of the big exam, there are many students who transfer to medical skills, and if they can't govern the country, they go to save people, and it is also the way to save the world and help the people. Confucian medicine in Bactria is bound to prevail. ”

"Confucian doctors? A Confucian is a Confucian and a doctor is a doctor, so why do they have to be confused? Ridiculous! Jin Jia scoffed at the Confucian doctor's statement and sneered, "The so-called Confucian doctor is still heavy on Confucianism and light on medicine." Horses can go on adventures, but Litian is not as good as oxen. A strong car can carry heavy loads, and it is not as good as a boat to cross the river. A good appearance can save the country, but if the emperor is seriously ill, he is helpless, and he still needs a doctor to come to diagnose and treat him. Scholars go to study and become officials, teaching only teaches and educates people, and doctors should treat diseases and save people, and each has his own place. But then again, don't think that the doctor is good, Xia Langjun has the talent to read, and he also has the talent to cure diseases, and the medicine bed and medicine chair he made for Cao Gong are used to treat the emperor, which is deeply praised by the emperor. If you were replaced, you wouldn't be able to shit. ”

What the? Zhang Hou thought he had misheard, and his ears widened with a look of disbelief: "Sir, is this true?" Xia Langjun also makes medicine beds and medicine chairs? Still praised by the emperor? ”

Jin Jia knew that he was speechless, he smiled, and said: "No, no, the old man was about to say something wrong, it was Xia Langjun who reminded the old man, and the old man personally made the medicine bed and medicine chair ......"

The speaker had no intention of listening, Zhang Hou's eyes kept turning, and he firmly remembered what Fang Cai Jinjia said, including Wen Changju taking off Xia Xiang's name and Xia Xiang's making medicine beds and chairs for the emperor's use. His mind flashed, thinking that it would be good for Xia Xiang to really be a doctor, at least he could make a living, and Jin Jia could enter and leave the palace of the three princes, he must be a doctor, Xia Xiang followed Jin Jia, and entered the Tai Hospital as a doctor in the future, and he also had a good character, which was always better than the common people.

Thinking about it like this, Zhang Hou's heart was not only much lighter, but also had an inexplicable joy and a slight loss. Happily, he has one less rival than Xia Xiang, and the champion is even more stable. What is disappointing is that it is also a pity that he failed to win Xia Xiang with his real talent in the palace examination.

Zhang Hou's regret Xia Xiang didn't know that the news of his fall from the list was already known.
