While Liu Huayun was secretly scolding, he couldn't help but move when he saw that another young man was also holding the same pamphlet and selling it to a fair-skinned and slightly chubby son.

The selection of the literary examination only started this morning, and he wanted to keep a low profile, although he came a little late, but it did not last more than an hour;

In such a short period of time, even if you get the information, it is too late to find someone to compile it and use it to rubbing, not to mention that the ink cannot be dried at all.

The only plausible explanation for this result is that the official of the Ministry of Etiquette leaked the topic yesterday, or that person is the owner behind the scenes, and wants to take advantage of this opportunity to make a small fortune.

In order to prove his conjecture, Liu Huayun smiled and continued to speak: "Brother Tao, if I buy your Three Hundred Wisdom Sutra and the examiner asks me to improvise poetry, wouldn't it be a big loss." ”

"Brother Tai's words are wrong, how can it be considered a loss if you buy a fish leaping dragon gate for thirty taels of silver?

In case, I mean in case, if you fail in the intelligence test and fail to pass the initial test, don't say thirty taels, three hundred taels will not buy regret medicine......"

Tao Mingyuan is very shrewd, his words and deeds are very cautious, and he has to put the booklet back in his arms when he speaks, and he wants to indulge in it with a good hand.

It's just that what he encountered was a shady curtain in the dark, and Liu Huayun, who had long been designated as a son-in-law by the emperor's old man, could not be easily fooled by him.

"Brother Tao, Xiao Ke is not talented, I think my luck has always been good, and today will definitely not be bad, if you don't want to use these three hundred wisdom scriptures, you should sell it to other brothers who need it."

After groaning for a while, Liu Huayun smiled faintly and waved his hand.

While speaking, without waiting for Tao Mingyuan, who was a little stunned, to exit again, he walked towards the team of scholars and talents standing, leaving him a little stunned, and touched his nose speechlessly.

"What about playing with me? Okay, you will regret it! ”

The corners of his mouth flashed with a hint of mockery, and Tao Mingyuan made a gesture of elimination to the waiter who was looking at the waiter outside the gate of the Ministry of Rites.

There are officials in the Ministry of Rites who take the opportunity to collect money, but Liu Huayun didn't take it to heart, anyway, he has the title of the commander of the Inner Jinyi Guard, and it is not easy to secretly clean up a few waiters and Langzhong;

Moreover, as long as it does not touch its own interests, it is understandable that others use their power to make some extra money, and there is no need to kill them all because of such trivial matters.

Of course, this is because he didn't make a small move between Tao Mingyuan and that person, otherwise he would never be so generous.

"Name?"

"Xu Yucai."

"Origin?"

"Ben Shao is a member of the Xu family in the capital......"

"Do you have a wife or concubine?"

"Ben Shao is only sixteen years old this year, and he is not married yet?"

"Okay, please write a poem on the title of this official!"

"This, this ......."

Time passed slowly in waiting, and it didn't take long for Liu Huayun to discover a pattern that made him secretly amused.

Several Langzhong examiners after the two long cases outside the Ministry of Rites gave questions to those gorgeously dressed sons, which were generally the recitation of poems that he was not good at, or the interpretation and recitation of subsets of scriptures and histories;

And those scholars and talents who think they are literary and talented, the tests they have accepted are almost all brain teasers.

The reason? It's nothing more than an ordinary scholar, because he was born poor, he can't afford the thirty taels of silver;

And those sons and brothers from rich backgrounds, although they can afford to buy pamphlets, because they have a bad reputation, they must stop in the primary, so that the emperor will not find anything abnormal.

No, when it was finally Liu Huayun's left hand, the rich and noble son in brocade clothes who made slaves and maids, this conversation took place.

Xu Yucai was born in a family of eunuchs, and he was pampered since he was a child, so he walked birds and cockfights, bullied the maids in the family, and when he really talked about poetry and songs, he was immediately dumbfounded.

looked at the booklet that he clutched behind his back, for a long time, but he couldn't hold back a word, and the people around him couldn't help laughing;

The old man in Langzhong, who made the question, had a trace of casual ridicule at the corner of his mouth.

"Xu Yucai, you can't do it, if you can't get out of the way; Lord Fang, little nephew, ah no, Xiao Shengqian is rich and willing to give it a try. ”

At this moment, the fat-headed and big-eared little fat man behind Brother Gongzi surnamed Xu impatiently pushed him away, and stepped forward to say to the examiner who was about fifty years old and had a beautiful black beard.

"Money is rich, you~~"

"It's okay, Xu Yucai is eliminated, it's your time to be rich and rich."

Xu Yucai was interrupted by an acquaintance, and he, who usually didn't deal with Qian Fugui, was about to get angry, but because of the words of the old man surnamed Fang, he had to leave with hatred;

After all, with his father's official position, he has not yet reached the point where he can directly compete with the six departments.

"Adults are very honest in their lives, and they don't have to wait for the country; After a hundred years, ride the wind, and your name will live on forever. ”

Qian Fugui ignored Xu Yucai, who led people away, scratched his head and thought for a long time, before he read out a limerick poem sentence by sentence.

However, looking at his appearance of chewing words like an endorsement, a discerning person can know at a glance that there is definitely an ulterior shady scene.

"Yes, Qian Fugui has passed, let's go in."

The old man surnamed Fang seemed to be very useful to this sycophant, he waved his hand at Qian Fugui with a smile, and asked the officials around him to register him, and then let him enter the yamen of the Ministry of Rites.

Shady, this is the naked shady, grandma's, this old man surnamed Fang must have something to do with the little fat man surnamed Qian, otherwise how could he be so polite to him.

At this time, Xu Yucai, who not only knew Qian Fugui very well, opened his eyes in disbelief, and even the other onlookers couldn't help but sigh in their hearts;

Especially those who have been eliminated, handsome talents, or wealthy sons and daughters who are wealthy, they can't help but scold in their hearts.

"Liu Daxian never touches the ground when he walks, why is that?"

Just when the corners of Liu Huayun's mouth were filled with a hint of playfulness, he felt that the water in the Ministry of Rites was also mixed and needed to be purified;

The plainly dressed young man in front of him, who was carrying a book on his back, was being asked by the red-robed official after the case, this so-called intelligence test.

"Because Liu Daxian is an immortal, he can fly."

The self-proclaimed Jiang Ling, a man from Jiangxi, may have been born poor, so he didn't buy the Three Hundred Zhili Sutra in advance, and did this last grinding gun, and the ending he was waiting for was already doomed.

"No, Jiang Ling, elimination!"

Just when Liu Huayun sighed and smiled in his heart, the middle-aged examiner of the Ministry of Rites had already opened his mouth to announce.

"No, why?"

Faced with this result, Jiang Ling, who came on the spot, had a face full of loss, but he still looked up and asked with some unwillingness.

"Because Liu Daxian wears shoes."

At this moment, a gentle voice came from behind him.

"Oh, it turns out that such a foot doesn't touch the ground, why didn't I think of it, thank you brother Tai for teaching!"

Looking back at the young man who was smiling lightly, Jiang Ling, who suddenly realized, patted his head, his eyes were full of remorse;

Immediately, he clenched his fists and arched his hand, gave up his position, and nodded at Liu Huayun before leaving, as if encouraging, he almost said a cliché like that, brother, come on, I am optimistic about you.

"Two adults, did Xiaosheng pass?"

Coming to the table covered with red satin, Liu Hua glanced at the middle-aged man sitting behind him and the old man in charge of recording, and asked with a faint smile.

"No, this doesn't count, although you answered the intelligence test correctly, but that's not your question, name?"

The middle-aged man had already noticed Liu Huayun, although he didn't know that he was Lord Ling Shangshu Fan Jian and the chief examiner Lord Jing Yu, who were very annoying to the acting ministers, but just now he didn't buy the booklet, so he was destined not to be able to advance easily.

I'll rub it, mom, you're a big cucumber, your family scholar Fan Jian Laozi dares to beat him, and the little Langzhong dares to embarrass me so much, I just don't know whether to live or die;

Although he was very unhappy in his heart, Liu Huayun still responded, "Xiaosheng's surname is Liu Huayun." ”

"Liu Huayun, you won't be Lord Liu, the servant of the ministry, right?"

As soon as these words came out, not only the middle-aged man in the red robe and the old man opened their mouths in surprise, but even the old man surnamed Fang and the officials around him on the side also looked here;

After all, Liu Huayun is already well-known in the capital, and even if they haven't seen him in person, many people have heard of his deeds.
