Zheng Guang himself forgot how he fell asleep, only remembered that after the heavy topic, Xu Wei led the topic to the poetry and the wine order, which was probably the most interesting domestic entertainment before the birth of mahjong and playing cards and other drunken ace entertainment, but it only existed among literati with high cultural literacy, and ordinary people and other idle characters could not do it. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Xu Pang is a super talent who plays the wine order as smoothly as flowing water, and easily puts Zhang Juzheng and Li Chunfang down, Ling Yunyi, who has the best amount of alcohol, was then put down by Xu Wei, Zhu Ji and Yang Yusun are not Xu Pang's opponents with one hand, and in the end, Zheng Guang and Wang Shizhen and Xu Pang are left to fight for more than a dozen rounds, and finally tacitly inverted Wang Shizhen, looking at the big talents who fell to the ground, Zheng Guang and Xu Pang looked at each other and smiled, took out the honey sobering pills, everything was silent.

"If you tell them these things, aren't you afraid that they will leak out and harm you?" Xu Pang sat on the ground, holding the wine jug and kept pouring it into his mouth.

"Why be afraid? It's not me who should be afraid, but those people, besides, just with you and me, you can really deal with those maritime clans? A good man also has three gangs, we must unite all the forces that can be united, in order to turn things around, the power of the Xinxuemen people in the southeast is indeed very large, but in Beijing, in the center, we are still very weak, now I can use my fame to gather a group of like-minded friends, why not? To put it bluntly, we all need our own forces to protect ourselves, the danger of officialdom, the teacher has mentioned it to me countless times, and I will not go through the detours that the teacher has taken. Zheng Guang sat on the chair and said slowly.

Xu Wei nodded noncommittally, looked at the wine jug in his hand, and said with a smile: "Tomorrow is the time to release the list, if you are not in the top ten of the second class, if you want to be selected as a Jishi, it will be a little difficult, the promise you gave them, although they are Jinshi, but they should also understand that if they can't become the children of Hanlin, it is not worth them to bet all their chips." ”

Zheng Guang nodded slowly, and said slowly: "I don't know if I can really do it, but if I don't even try, there will be no hope, besides, I'm only eighteen, three years later, I'm only twenty, I'm still young, young people, just have time, this is the biggest capital." ”

Xu Wei pursed his lips, he seemed to be very unhappy with this little fresh meat show young show superiority, but he didn't say anything, after a while, Zheng Guang heard the sound of snoring, this thing actually fell asleep on the edge of the bed, Zheng Guang shook his head, looked at the talented people who fell asleep, had to stand up and cover them with blankets one by one, threw Li Chunfang and Xu Fat, who were the weakest bones, on the bed, covered them with quilts, and leaned on the edge of the bed, covered with a blanket, thinking about his own thoughts, missing his family and lovers in the distance, unconsciously, I fell asleep.

Early the next morning, the inertia of the biological clock prompted Zheng Guang to wake up early, and he didn't sleep in the correct posture all night, which was indeed not very good for his bones, as soon as he got up, Zheng Guang heard his bones crackling, looking at the talented people who fell asleep on the ground in the room, smiled lightly, and did not disturb them, wrapped in a coat, walked out of the room lightly, closed the door, and began to practice boxing in the courtyard.

After practicing for a while, Zheng Jiang walked over, pointed to the room and asked, "Guang'er, are your friends still asleep?" ”

Zheng Guang said softly: "Yes, I'm still sleeping, I drank a little too much last night, please trouble the third uncle to prepare some sobering soup for them, and a little more breakfast, and wake them up after I finish practicing boxing and washing up." ”

Zheng Jiang nodded, and said with a smile: "Then you have to be early, after a lot of sky, you will rush to the hall, and the person who will release the good news will come, the third uncle is also very confident in you, you have to be ready, today, our Zheng family is going to be a jinshi!" This is a big thing to shine on the lintel! ”

Zheng Guang smiled and didn't say anything, in fact, this thing is not necessarily, but there is one point, after winning the examination and becoming a tribute, he basically locked the identity of the Jinshi, after all, the palace test will not eliminate the scholars, just make a ranking, and for Zheng Guang, there is an identity of a Jinshi, not a ranking, it is also the glory of the ancestors, Zheng ancestors have not had a scholar when they were in the north, Zheng Wei has been regarded as the first time in the world, if Zheng Guang wins the Jinshi, it is really the ancestral tomb smoke.

After Zheng Guang finished a set of punches and sweated slightly, he went to the water room to wash himself, wiped his body, tidied up his appearance, put on the new clothes prepared by Zheng Jiang again, and went back to the room to wake up the talented people who fell asleep to the ground and were still dazed, and when they realized that they fell asleep on the ground and had an indecent posture, everyone shouted "rude and rude" to apologize to Zheng Guang, the master, looking at the blanket on his body, he probably knew what was going on, and he was also grateful in his heart.

Zheng Guang just smiled and said that he didn't care, so he asked them to wash one by one, and then the next person brought a lot of breakfast, and also cleaned up the house, ventilated the room, and everyone sat together and ate a hot breakfast, and when the body was warm, everyone had a beating heart, and went to their respective halls together, Zheng Guang and Zhang Juzheng and Xu Pang were separated, and when Zheng Guang came to the Suzhou hall, Yuan Hongyu and they had already arrived.

Suzhou hall has been crowded in front of the crowd, the entire Nanzhili hall is crowded with people, not only the new imperial examination children are waiting for sublimation, the businessmen who came from their hometown are also anxiously waiting for the big man who has won the examination to celebrate and celebrate, this is the whole hometown has a glorious thing, the best in this regard is the Shanxi people, Shanxi businessmen attach great importance to these things, and now it is estimated that the Shanxi hall has been prepared for the seven-seven-eighty-eight, ready to celebrate the grand occasion.

Zheng Guang naturally became the most anticipated person in Suzhou Hall, and also the head of Suzhou scholars, and the scholars from other guild halls saw Zheng Guang arrive, and they all stepped forward to say hello, everyone agreed that Zheng Guang could get a high ranking, before Yangzhou Hall, Zheng Guang also saw Li Chunfang who smiled at him, and the two talked a few words, and then they returned to their respective halls, anxiously waiting for news.

Yuan Hongyu walked to Zheng Guang's side, smiled and asked Zheng Guang, "What's the matter, are you nervous?" ”

Zheng Guang also replied with a smile: "It's false to say that I'm not nervous, of course I'm nervous, but I'm not too nervous, we are not old men in our seventies and eighties, this is the last chance, even if I don't get in, there will be the next time, next time, this is the capital of young people, so even if I don't get in, I won't feel that the sky is falling apart." ”

Yuan Hongyue looked at Zheng Guang with some envy, and then said in a low voice: "It's really good that Ping Zhi can have such an idea, unlike me, because of my own problems, it has brought a lot of trouble to the family, and it costs a lot, and it is almost exhausted The family is almost exhausted, if you can't take the exam this time, I don't know when I will be able to take the exam next time, the imperial examination really costs a lot of money." ”

Zheng Guang can't refute it, the imperial examination is indeed very expensive, not to mention the cost of accommodation, accommodation and meals, just say that it is some favors, I don't know how much money it costs, and it can almost bankrupt a middle-class family, the Zheng family is also on Zheng Guang, and it has been tested at one time, and it didn't cost too much, otherwise, as far as the Zheng family's 500 acres of Taihu Lake paddy fields and a few storefronts are concerned, I really don't know if it can support Zheng Guang's reference two or three times.

"I believe that Brother Zhi will definitely be able to pass the test, after all, Brother Zhi is the first place in our Nanzhili, if the first place can't be tested, then our entire Nanzhili will not be referred to, just go home." Zheng Guang said with a smile, Yuan Hongyue hurriedly waved his hand and said that this is not the case, if you meet someone who is familiar with Yuan Hongyu's past, you will definitely feel surprised, the current Yuan Hongyu is too different from the high-spirited and arrogant Yuan Hongyue at the beginning.

Zheng Guang wanted to say something, but he heard a commotion, and then he heard someone shouting: "It's coming!" It's finally here! The annunciation is coming! It's our Nanzhili! ”

Everyone's hearts suddenly rose to their throats, and they saw a newspaper in a big red wedding dress rushing over with gongs and drums, and shouted loudly: "Good news, the old man of Huizhou Mansion in Nanzhili is in Zhengmao, the 290th tribute in the high school Ding Weike will be examined, and the saint above the Jinluan Palace!" ”

The firecrackers and fireworks in the courtyard of the Huizhou Hall were ready for the early days, and they crackled and put them up, and those merchants and fellow villagers and friends gathered around a happy face, about thirty or forty years old scholar, it was Yin Zhengmao, Zheng Guang felt that this name was a little familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had heard it, so it was just a blessing applause, and after the scholar celebrated, he stood up and raised his hand and said: "I am Yin Zhengmao!" ”

The newspaper stepped forward and kowtowed to beg for a reward, Yin Zhengmao seemed to be a little cramped, probably didn't expect that he could be admitted, touched the body up and down, but didn't find anything, but it doesn't matter, since he has been admitted to the Gongshi, it is basically a Jinshi, the Jinshi master does not need to pay for himself, someone has already prepared everything for him, after all, he is also the first Nanzhili to win the Gongshi this year, a merchant squeezed in front of Yin Zhengmao, smiled and took out a thick red envelope, Yin Zhengmao was stunned for a moment, and took it directly, smiled gratefully, and handed the red envelope to the newspaper, and after getting the thick red envelope, the newspaper did not stay, and rushed out directly, there should be other things to be busy with.

And now, everyone rushed up, brought a big red flower for Yin Zhengmao, helped the tall horse that also hung a big red flower, and prepared to wait for the 49 city to celebrate after all the tributes from the same township were baked, Zheng Guang noticed that Yin Zhengmao's posture on the horse was very skillful, and he seemed to be proficient in equestrianism, and he should not be a simple character.
