Verse 29: The unexpected
In the southwest of Xinxian County is Lujiawai Study, which is also the only township school in Xinxian County, covering an extremely vast area. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoIn the past, the village school was quiet and full of the sound of students reading, but today due to special circumstances, it is extremely crowded and noisy. Lu Qikun stood on the outermost side, looking out at the square in the distance, and could vaguely see dozens of people.
At this time, it was noon, although autumn was beginning, it still made people sweat, but it did not affect everyone's mood at all. The election is a triennial event in the state of Chu, especially the recommendation of the county is even more rare, and those students in the county who are famous.
Lu Qikun didn't know about the genius students in Xinxian County now, but he heard it from the chats of everyone around him. This year's new county has many talents, not to mention the true dragon of the Lu family, even the Sanqing clan also has many geniuses. For example, Zhiyan of the Zhi clan, Fan Ya of the Fan clan, Le Yao of the Le clan, as well as Zixu and Xue Man, who were born as commoners, and the Lu family also had two people to participate.
The open space in front of the township school is usually a place for students to keju, but now it has become the venue for this election. In addition to the people of the Sanqing clan on the square, there is also a gentleman and an old man from the township school, and the people from the Lu family are the fourth room representative of Lu Siye.
After the Lu family did not come out of the old man's deep courtyard, the rights gradually transferred to each room and branch, and now the fourth master of the Lu family controls the enlightenment and knowledge of the Lu family. The children of the Lu family are enlightened and literate to read scriptures and books on the second floor, and they all need to report to Lu Siye, which seems to have no rights and interests, but it is only on the surface.
You must know that the two floors in charge of Lu Siye are not ancient allusions that no one cares about like Wuwei Building, but the real method of cultivation and the insights of cultivators. It is extremely difficult to enter the second floor, and there is no other way to do it except to get good results in the monthly examination of Lu Caotang.
Of course, if you get the approval of Lu Siye, then you can naturally go in and out of the second floor at will.
Lu Siye sat in the first place, on the left were the representatives of the three groups of Zhi, Fan and Le, and on the right was Mr. Laohe, who was a township school. The students who participated in this election quietly waited for the start of this election in a position close to the township school.
In the county election, the Yingdu Gongxue prepares the test papers more than a month ago, and sends them to the government offices of each county through the official post station, and then the county officials send the papers at the time of the election. In the presence of people, officials and celebrities, the question was finally sent to the government to be sealed, and finally the local prestige scholars were invited to approve and elect the winner.

Gongs and drums sounded in the distant streets, and the onlookers consciously gave way to a road. The new county magistrates and officials came back and forth and came to the center of the square. The county magistrate looked at Lu Siye, who was sitting upright, and saluted, and the two officials behind him were embarrassed because it was difficult to salute because they were holding the test papers.
Lu Siye didn't care about the rudeness of the officials, and smiled towards the county order, "Bai County order, if there is nothing to do, let's start."
"Okay, okay," Bai Xian Ling flattered, and then ordered the officials to send out the rolls.
Lu Qikun stood in the crowd and watched, knowing in his heart that this was a written test. The written test is the most basic test and the only test for the county election. Whether you are a mortal or a cultivator, as long as you participate in the election, you must pass a written test.
"It was mentioned in the Biography of King Chu Sheng that knowledge and wisdom are opened, so as to govern the country, strict the army, and cultivate the Tao," Lu Qikun recalled. Then he focused on the written test that was about to start, but the inadvertent afterglow made Lu Qikun suddenly look in front of the crowd on the left.
"Wait," someone shouted, instantly attracting everyone's attention.
Lu Qiyun walked out of the crowd in a white uniform, came to the square and looked at Lu Siye, and said with a smile, "Dare to ask the fourth master, if there is a person who recommends it, you can participate in this new county election."
"That's right" Lu Siye frowned, his heart full of doubts.
Lu Qiyun smiled and slowly took out a book from his white clothes and said, "Student Lu Qiyun, should be recommended by his teacher Yan Hui to participate in the new county election."
One sentence stirred up a thousand waves, and even Lu Siye suddenly got up and stared at the book in Lu Qiyun's hand. As for the rest of the people, even more so, the onlookers suddenly quieted down and looked at Lu Qiyun in disbelief.
Lu Qikun was also extremely surprised, looking at the eye-catching Lu Qiyun in the square in disbelief. The afterglow that was inadvertently seen just now was Lu Qiyun, and he walked out before he had time to react to the other party. Saying this sentence made it difficult for many people in Xinxian County to calm down.
Yan Hui, who was one of the few saints in the world, was the most proud student of Confucius and the most powerful person in the Chu State. It is rumored that the reason why King Chu Heng was able to control the government and sit on the throne was the victory in the battle for the ministers who almost destroyed the entire Chu State, and the biggest key was the sage Yan Hui.
Of course, these are just rumors, and the real situation is only known to those who have experienced it. But Yan Hui, as a Confucian sage, has a very high reputation in the Central Plains. Moreover, after the hundred schools of thought, Confucianism gradually became the mainstream and became the guest of many vassal states.
"You are a member of the Lu family," Lu Siye said expressionlessly.
Suddenly, everyone looked at Lu Qiyun, even Lu Qikun.
Lu Qiyun Gujing had no waves, and said very calmly, "That's right"
Two simple words, but even more shocking than before. The Lu family is not a member of the Lu family, and they do not have the blood of the Lu family in their bodies. Most of them are outsiders who have made meritorious contributions to the Lu family, and the Lu family is grateful to give the surname Lu, thus forming the Lu family's external lineage.
"Since it was recommended by Yan Shengren, then you have the right to participate in the new county election" Lu Siye was already extremely angry at the moment, but he still maintained everyone's style.
Soon the eighth table was placed in the square, and the officials divided the volumes, and everyone immediately wrote hard. For ordinary people, an election is just to see the excitement and have something to talk about. But for the person I recommend or even the person I recommend, it has unimaginable benefits. Even if you can't pass the county election, as long as you pass the county election, you will have a bright future.
Lu Qikun waited with interest for the results of the written test, and when the sun set and the officials sounded the gong, the eight election students stopped their manners and waited quietly for the officials to collect the test papers. At the same time, four veterans with great prestige in the new county came out of the township school and began to mark the test papers, and gradually left.
When night falls, the lights light up in the square, and many of those who left return again. The deserted square became lively again, and everyone looked at the old man who was reading the papers, anxiously waiting for the final result.
"Fourth Master, these are three election test papers" An old man came to Lu Siye with the test paper in his hand, and suddenly countless people's eyes focused on Lu Siye.
Lu Siye gently cut open the sealed place, and when he saw the first name, his face became gloomy, and his eyes looked at Lu Qiyun with anger. The representatives of the three clans also suddenly felt bad, and hurriedly looked at the name of the first test paper, and then looked at the other two test papers. Suddenly, the representative of the Zhi clan was like ashes, and looked at Lu Qiyun with a hideous expression, as if he was about to swallow the other party alive.
"Lu Qiyun"
"It was unexpected"
