Three days after the release of the township trial list, the good news was also sent to various states and counties.

According to the previous rules, the person who reported the victory only read out the good news of the students in the county, and the people in other places were passed on by the officials of the county, and everyone also asked for good luck.

Father Li also came to the county government with the crowd, he was not too worried, Li Ling was only fifteen years old, this time he could wait for the next time, the son of a businessman, it was already very good to be able to mix with a showman.

Zhou's soft grinding and hard begging Father Li also brought her and Li Ming over, she paid good attention, I heard that the gentleman in the county school is also coming, once Li Ling really wins the lift, the value of the Li family will be different, if Father Li helps ask Mr. Li Ming to enter the county school, presumably he will not refute the face of the father.

Ma Xiancheng came a little earlier than before, and it is no wonder that Ma Wencai is also among the students who are taking the exam, so he is naturally anxious.

The county lord also showed up at the yamen, and the moves in the examination were all his achievements, if there are outstanding among these students, they can also help him in the future, which is also very beneficial in the officialdom.

"Hello Lord Prefectural!".

Ma Xiancheng passed after greeting him, and compared to the ease of the county order, he was a little nervous. There are people in the court who are good officials, and I don't know if his son can go to high school this time.

"Congratulations to Mr. Liu for the seventeenth place in the Tianfu Township Exam in Tianfu High School, and the Beijing Daily has been listed in Huangjia!".

"Congratulations to Mr. Zhang for taking the 21st place in the Tianfu Township Examination in the new high school, and the Beijing Daily has been listed in the Yellow Armor!".

The messenger who reported the victory came to the door of the county government panting, and before the two of them entered the door to drink saliva and rest, they read a few good reports under the urging of everyone, and of course they also got a lot of silver.

Among these people, there is neither Li Ling nor Ma Wencai. Li's father's heart gradually cooled.

Ma Xiancheng was not calm, relying on his size to be an official, he separated everyone and came to the front of the two errand officers, and said: "Two eldest brothers, I am the county magistrate of this county, and my son is Ma Wencai, and he also participated in the township test. “。

As he spoke, he handed over a silver ingot of twenty taels.

The two officers are very annoyed, if they both do this, there is still a little bit of discipline, not to mention that you are just a small official with a sesame seed, even if you are a prefect, you can do it according to the rules.

But when the two saw a large ingot of silver, they immediately took the professional ethics and fed it to the dogs. "Wait a moment, sir, I'll find you right away!" One of the officers took the silver in his bosom and stretched out a finger to his companion, meaning that this extra money has ten taels of yours.

The other messenger understood, smiled contentedly, and began to look for whether there was a surname Ma among the good news.

When the good news was more than half, Ma Wencai's face immediately couldn't hang up, if his son fell off the list, spending dozens of taels of silver in vain would be a trivial matter, the important thing is where to put this old face?

The face of the official is not good-looking, and your brother doesn't know how many bowls of dry rice his son eats, so he is busy working for nothing!

Finally, in the last chapter, he saw the name of a man surnamed Ma, and the officer was overjoyed: "Master Ma, is your son's name Ma Wencai?" “。” Yes, yes, this is it! “。 Ma Xiancheng snatched the good news and shouted loudly, "Congratulations to Master Ma for the ninety-seventh place in the Tianfu Township Examination, and the Beijing Daily has been on the Yellow Armor!" ”。

It felt really happy, and after shouting, Ma Xiancheng was in a happy mood, and his son got ahead! And he gave the servant fifty taels of silver.

"Master, why don't we ask!"

Zhou's eyes were greedy as he watched from the sidelines, thinking in his heart when her son Li Ming would also be able to be lifted!

Father Li silently glanced at Zhou. walked up to the two errand officers and whispered, "Lao Jia help check if there is one named Li Ling, thank you!" ”。

The official took fifty taels of silver from Li's father and didn't go through the good news, but told him bluntly: "I just checked, and there is no one surnamed Li!" ”。

"How is that possible?" Father Li, who was stunned, came over, he didn't believe that the kid of the Li family didn't get moved. Even Ma Wencai's goods can accompany the last seat, how could Li Ling be so smart and fall off the list?

He took the good news in his hand, and turned over a total of more than 20 sheets from beginning to end, and there was indeed no Li Ling's name on it.

"I'm in, I'm in!" Suddenly, a voice like a madman sounded in the crowd, it turned out to be a showman from this county, no, now it is a lifter.

Liu Tian screamed madly, he was really happy to fall from the sky, he originally felt that he was hopeless, and he went home after the exam, he didn't expect his luck to be so good, and he just came back and met good news.

"I want to reward the two eldest brothers with fifty taels!". Liu Tian touched his pocket when he spoke, oh mom, it's too bad, he only had fifty taels of silver when he was dreaming.

"I'm here to help the master tip!". A middle-aged man who looked like a housekeeper walked over and rewarded Liu Tian with a hundred taels without hesitation.

Everyone saw that it was the steward of the old man who advocated the big wealth in the east of the county, and the Zhang family had 10,000 acres of fertile land, and was one of the few wealthy households in the county.

"My young lady is twenty-eight years old, her appearance is good, and she is the only seedling of the master, I don't know if the master is interested?" The middle-aged housekeeper walked up to Liu Tian and actually dragged the text.

"Yes, yes!". Liu Tian immediately agreed, forgetting his mother, who had worked hard to raise him.

"Good, good!". I'll send my uncle home and inform Lingtang by the way. The housekeeper is not stupid, since ancient times, it has been the order of his parents, the words of the matchmaker, and the Liu family is still relatively special, Liu Tian's father died early, and his mother relied on washing clothes for others to raise him, saving food for him to go to school.

If you want to complete the marriage between the two families, you must get the consent of Liu's mother.

Zhou was very envious of Liu Tian's affair, Li Ling did not win, and her son's matter was estimated to be in vain, so he was very unhappy, so he cursed: "When I left, I looked very sure, it turned out that I was just bragging, look at the other Ma Gongzi, I was silently lifted by someone!" ”。

Father Li's face darkened, and he wanted to reprimand Zhou.

At this time, Ma Xiancheng said in a non-yin and non-yang manner: "Everything is fate, and the old man didn't report much hope, this is an unexpected joy!" ”。

"Step, step". The sound of horses' hooves attracted everyone's attention, and Ma Wencai became happy when he saw it: "This is my scholar's scholar, he must be here to report the victory!" ”。

Putting everyone's envious eyes in his eyes, he scolded with a smile: "Don't come early for a while, the person who reported the victory arrived early!" ”。

"Sir, can you find a secluded place to talk!". As soon as the little scholar saw Ma Xiancheng, he whispered.

Ma Xiancheng didn't dare to slack off, the little scholar was also a clever person, he must have something to say to himself.

Borrowing the work of tying the horse, the little scholar whispered to Ma Xiancheng: "The young master asked the master to find the young lady quickly and marry her to the grandmaster and young master!" ”

Ma Xiancheng's face turned white as soon as he "brushed", and he now understands that his son is not coming from the right way! It's really bold, and there are still people who commit crimes against the wind!

It's okay if his son is young, how can the grandmaster also do such a thing, this time it is not only the top belt that he has worked hard for decades, but also the lives of several members of the family.

He didn't care about showing off in front of people, so he quickly found the housekeeper and asked him to look for the young lady with all his might.

Seeing that Ma Xiancheng was acting so secretively, the county commander knew that something must have happened, and he just wanted to find someone to follow the people of the Ma family to ask, but he heard another sound of horse neighing!

"All the people tell me, the results of this township test are invalid, and the specific matters are up to Lord Qincha's arrangement!"

This time, there were two brocade guards.

"Goo-dong" Ma-sama's legs went limp and fell to the ground. It's over, it's over.
