In the past, after the Dao exam, the Grand Master and the prefect would also encourage the candidates who ranked high in the exam. However, like this year, it is the first time that the top 40 candidates have been allowed to cross the streets around the main street of Baoding Mansion under the leadership of the prefect. This undoubtedly caused quite a stir among the people of Baoding Mansion.

The procession on the street had just turned into Erdaoqiao, and Xu Laiyun, the shopkeeper of the Xu family's donkey meat burning shop, as well as his wife Xu Mashi, and the guy Zhang Gou were already standing in front of the store and looking forward.

Zhou Zhi got the news of the head of the case, and they already knew it, and at this time, when they saw Zhou Zhi riding a high-headed horse, with a heroic appearance, several people couldn't help but be overjoyed.

Xu Laiyun thought that it was also thanks to a person like Zhou Zhi who could pass the first exam, and just by being able to make crispy and delicious baked cakes, he was by no means an idle person.

What is talent? Just know how to read, the two don't listen to the books outside the window, and people who don't know anything except reading are not called talents. People like Zhou Zhi and people who know everything are talents.

And this week, I was so shrewd that I was about to easily take away 20% of the income of my store, and I was still willing to take it. This is the means, and how can people with such means be underdeveloped in the future?

Xu Laiyun gave Zhou Zhi 20% of the store's income, and his wife Xu Ma was very unhappy at the time and complained about Xu Laiyun for a while. Xu Laiyun just laughed it off at the time.

At this time, he glanced at Xu Ma and said with a smile, "Can the lady now understand whether the twenty percent of the income is wronged or not?" ”

In fact, it was only in the next few days that Xu Ma felt that the income from giving Zhou Zhi 20% was worth it.

Because of the launch of the donkey meat fire, the Xu family's store was immediately overcrowded, and the income of the nearly ten days seemed to be nearly five times higher than the income of the previous ten days. This is all brought to them by Zhou Zhi. In this way, it seems that there is still a little less to give Zhou Zhi 20% of the income.

Xu Ma was already happily closing his mouth, and nodded again and again, "It's not wronged, it's naturally not wronged!" ”

"Huh! You still only see the silver, our Xu family's donkey meat burning shop in the future will be opened all over Baoding Mansion, our family has made a lot of money, not to mention, our Xu family has to have bigger ideas!

Lady, please think about it, Brother Zhou Zhixian passed the case today, how much future he will have in the future! We have a relationship with him, and our Xu family will not only have money, but also a backer and power, and future generations will follow him.

In fact, the husband had already seen that Zhou Zhixian's brother was the best among people, so he befriended him. Lady, don't you feel that your husband is a wise person? ”

Xu Laiyun was excited to boast in front of his wife. Xu Ma glanced at him, as if she turned her head angrily, but she was overjoyed in her heart.

Not to mention that guy Zhang Gou, pointing to the radiant Zhou Zhi, he said to the people around him, "Did you see it?" The head of this case is called Zhou Zhi, and he just ate my donkey meat to be burned before he passed the case!

Hum! My family's donkey meat is burned and eaten, which can make people's minds smart, and the spring of literature and thoughts! ”

The man next to him said, "Zhang Gou, I think you must have eaten a lot of donkey meat every day, right?" I haven't seen you smart, aren't you still a big word and can't read a word? ”

His words, Zhang Gou, who was immediately choked, were speechless, attracting the ridicule of many people around him.

However, it is only because of Zhang Gou's exaggerated and boastful words that there are more diners who have eaten donkey meat, and it is true that more people like this unique flavor of food.

This time the cross-horse street parade made the country boy Zhou Zhi famous in Baoding Mansion in just over an hour, and for a time the people talked about Zhou Zhi the most. said how poor Zhou Zhi's family was, if it was possible to overcome all kinds of difficulties, and aspire to become a talent, it only took more than a year to be admitted to Xiucai. It is also said that Zhou Zhi has the ability to never forget, and can be called the magical person of Baoding Mansion.

In short, words like this are getting more and more evil, and Zhou Zhi can be said to be famous.

The straddle parade was finally over, and everyone on the horse was tired, but everyone was extremely happy in their hearts, and their spirits were in a state of extreme excitement.

After that, the prefect Peng Ze only left Zhou Zhi alone and asked Zhou Zhi to see Yang Yiqing.

Yang Yiqing had already eaten lunch and was closing his eyes on the soft couch to recuperate, and when he learned that Zhou Zhi was coming, Yang Yiqing barely moved, but opened his eyes and smiled approvingly at Zhou Zhi.

Yang Yiqing's performance is not contempt for Zhou Zhi, on the contrary, this is the performance of not treating Zhou Zhi as an outsider and being close to Zhou Zhi. Yang Yiqing then said, "Zhou Zhi, you get your wish, the official will read the papers fairly, your article on this Dao test is impeccable, and it seems to be on par with the Dao test cases in the Jiangnan area!"

This official is optimistic about you.

The official once said that as long as you pass the first test, the official will accept you as a student. Today, the official has fulfilled his promise, and from now on, you will be the student! ”

When Zhou Zhi heard this, he was immediately overjoyed.

Yang Yiqing also confiscated several students in his life, and Zhou Zhi was one of them. For Zhou Zhi, whether it is in his previous life or in this life, Yang Yiqing has a lofty position in his heart, and he admires Yang Yiqing very much.

Zhou Zhi immediately knelt on the ground and solemnly bowed to the teacher.

Yang Yiqing naturally got off the couch at this time, helped Zhou Zhi up with both hands, and carefully looked at Zhou Zhi up and down for a while, and his heart was also very happy. Then he said with a smile, "Zhou Zhi, you have to pay close attention to reading and writing in the future, and in next year's township exam, as a teacher, I still hope that you can take the exam and come out!" ”

The first name of the township test is Xie Yuan, which can be very difficult.

You must know that the township examination is the examination of the entire North Zhili, not to mention the number of participants, those who participated in the examination are all qualified by the annual examination and the scientific examination, and it can be said that they are all talented people.

It is very good to be able to pass the township examination and pass the examination. Yang Yiqing proposed to ask Zhou Zhi to take the test to solve the yuan, which invisibly added a lot of pressure to Zhou Zhi.

If you want to say anything about Xie Yuan, Hui Yuan, Champion and the like, Zhou Zhixiang naturally thought about it. But looking at the entire Ming Dynasty, there are only two people in the middle of the three yuan. One is Huang Guan, and the other is Shang Chen. Huang Guan also asked the Yongle Emperor to be abolished, so that there was only one merchant left.

Although Yang Yiqing expected too much from himself, Zhou Zhi couldn't say anything, so he only nodded and said, "Obey the orders of the teacher, and the students will definitely do their best." ”

"Huh! Good! Yang Yiqing slapped Zhou Zhi on the shoulder like an old leader encouraging his juniors, and then said with a smile.

"There are still a lot of important things to do for the teacher today, so I won't leave you, and the future will be long! Hehe! Yang Yiqing then said.

Zhou Zhi hurriedly said goodbye to Yang Yiqing, and then came out.

Yang Yiqing frowned slightly, looked at Zhou Zhi's slightly thin back, nodded lightly, and said secretly, only find a good place for him to study.
