After the secret conversation between the Qin father and son, the next day, the rumors in Wuxi City became more and more violent.

There is a legend that Cheng Xianzun revealed the topic to Zheng Hao in advance, and some even said that Cheng Xianzun personally grabbed a knife to write the exam article for Zheng Hao in order to get the honor of being the head of the case.

Such rumors quickly spread to Wuxi City like wildfire, and women and children knew about it.

All the candidates are waiting for the final results of this county examination.

The people of the city were waiting to see if this rumor was true.

Such rumors will naturally spread to Cheng Zhixian's ears soon.

"What a dog's head! How dare you arrange this official like this! It's hateful! Cheng Zhixian listened to Mr. Zhang's report, slapped the table case suddenly, and said angrily.

"Dong Weng is angry, don't be angry!" Mr. Zhang hurriedly persuaded.

Cheng Zhixian took a few deep breaths, and then calmed down his anger, and he sneered and said to Mr. Zhang: "Yunqi, you say, is this the Qin family making trouble?" ”

Mr. Zhang sighed and said: "Dong Weng, I also think it is very likely that the Qin family is adding fuel to the fire, after all, they value Qin Zihao's county test results very much, and they want to please a good fortune, they are prodigies, and they are the head of the county test. ”

"Humph! The official didn't plan to point the case to Zheng Hao! Spreading rumors like this, ruining my reputation! It's hateful! "Cheng Zhi County Road.

"My lord, if you are really angry, in my opinion, it is better for us to order others for the first case of this county test, as long as it is not Zheng Hao, they can only be angry and helpless." Mr. Zhang offered advice.

Mr. Zhang's strategy was an old idea, which not only refuted the rumors, cleared himself, but also dealt a heavy blow to the Qin family.

Cheng Zhixian thought for a while, shook his head and said, "No! If I do what my husband does, I still can't get angry! I can't let them slander and slander me, they don't want me to point Zheng Hao as the head of the case, then I want to do it! What can they do to me? ”

"Your Excellency, please think twice! Then you will be caught in the vortex of rumors and will not be able to clear your name. It has a very bad impact on your career and official reputation. Mr. Zhang said.

"But, Yunqi! You also know that Zheng Hao is indeed a genius, he only took more than ten days to write Shiwen to the realm of Dacheng, such a genius, compared to the kid of the Qin family, I don't know how many times better! If anyone doubts, then let Zheng Hao and Qin Zihao try their own writing in Shiwen, I really want to see Zheng Hao's genius to beat the Qin family, and at that time, what kind of sensation will the entire Jiangnan be! Cheng Zhixian said decisively.

This time, Cheng Zhixian did not intend to back down.

He wants to have a hard-fought battle with the Qin family!

"Your Excellency is wise! This is actually good, but it can help Zheng Hao quickly become famous in Jiangnan! It's also a heavy blow to the Qin family! Mr. Zhang praised.

Mr. Zhang found that his boss seemed to be much more decisive than at the beginning, and he also had his own opinions.

In a blink of an eye, it is the day of the release of the list.

Zheng Hao is still busy at the High Roller Cafeteria.

The advertising leaflet for the opening of the restaurant was written by him himself, and after it was written, it was sent to the bookstore for printing.

"Childe, don't you want to go and see the list today?" Bian Yujing asked.

"There's nothing to see, just ask Brother Chong to help me go over and see the rankings." Zheng Hao waved his hand and said.

"Childe is free and easy." Bian Yujing shook his head, "Those literati I know, when it came time to release the list, they scratched their ears and cheeks one by one, and they were in a trance. ”

Zheng Haoxin said, that's because my heart is not on the scientific expedition at all.

"It's inevitable to pass the county test, and if you can't get the case, why worry about it?" Zheng Hao spread his hands and said.

Zheng Hao instructed Zheng Chong to help him look at the list.

And Qin Zihao didn't go to the scene to see the list.

He felt that if he ran to see it in a county test, he would not lose his share.

So, he and his father sat in the gazebo in the back garden, drinking tea and appreciating lotuses, while quietly waiting for the servants who went to see the list to come back to report the good news.

"My son, this time, you will definitely be able to get the first chance of the case." Qin Jianghua twisted his beard and said.

"Father, I'm still a little apprehensive in my heart, if that Cheng Xianzun learns that we are fueling the rumors, he will definitely retaliate against us under his shame and anger, right?" Qin Zihao frowned slightly.

"My son, how would he know that we were manipulating this? Even if he is suspicious, can he just give the first point of the case that belongs to you to others? If the person he ordered was a mediocre person, I am afraid that the protests will be louder than now, and his reputation will be completely ruined! Would he dare to take such a risk? Qin Jianghua said very firmly.

He saw that Qin Zihao was still a little depressed, so he smiled and comforted: "My son's reputation is also well-known throughout the county, who doesn't know that my Qin family has a young prodigy?" Of the families in the county who participated in the county examination this year, which of the descendants can compare with my son? So, you can rest assured! ”

The father and son talked and talked, and in the blink of an eye, it was three o'clock.

Suddenly, I heard a commotion outside the garden.

Someone ran this way.

Qin Jianghua stood up and said with a smile: "It seems that the results have come out." ”

Qin Zihao also stood up, looking nervous.

I saw a family member trotting over, sweating profusely, but it was Qin Zihao's companion Ding Quan.

"Master, the county test has been released, but it's just ......" Ding Quan knelt in front of Qin Jianghua, with a very complicated expression on his face.

This made Qin Jianghua and Qin Zihao both stunned.

"Say! Is my son the head of the case? Qin Jianghua's eyes widened, looked at Ding Quan, and shouted.

As soon as Qin Jianghua saw the expression on Ding Quan's face, he knew that it seemed that he was still too optimistic, and Cheng Zhixian was going to fight against his own family.

"Young master, ranked second in the county exam." After Ding Quan finished speaking, he fell prostrate on the ground, not daring to raise his head.

"What? My son was put in second place? Then let me ask you, who is the head of the case? Qin Jianghua gritted his teeth and asked.

"Master, yes, it's Zheng Hao!" Ding Quan said.

"Hahahaha!"

Hearing Ding Quan say Zheng Hao's name, Qin Jianghua laughed loudly.

"Father!"

"Sir!"

Seeing Qin Jianghua laughing and laughing wildly, Qin Zihao and Ding Quan were a little creepy.

"Okay, you're going to be far away, you're going to kill yourself! If I don't fight you down, so that you will never be able to turn over, it will be difficult to solve the hatred in my heart! Qin Jianghua gritted his teeth and said.
