Wu Jie was shocked and hurriedly asked, "What's the matter?" ”

The family just cried, and couldn't speak.

Wu Jie suddenly became anxious and shouted: "Don't cry, you have something to say." You don't have a head or a brain, and people can't understand it. ”

This break was very loud, and it suddenly shook the family, and finally calmed down.

As soon as such a person came out of the gate of the courtyard, he had already alarmed Mozi and the father and daughter of the Lian family, not only the three of them, but even Li Shizhen also came.

The family wiped a handful of tears, and then said with a sob: "My second young master has not been completely injured since he was subjected to the family law. When I went home after the second test of the township exam, the wound was a little pus, and the person began to have a fever. After entering the examination room again, it was suddenly very cold, and the fever became more and more severe. When I went out of the examination room and returned home, I couldn't stand on his feet, and as soon as I lay down in bed, I began to talk nonsense. ”

Wu Jie: "It's just a high fever, why can't it be, have you seen Lang Zhong?" Let's be more careful. ”

Jia Ding: "Please ask the gentleman from the hospital to come and see it, and after taking medicine, the fever can't go away." The doctor said that this fever will not go down again, but I am afraid that it will be worse. The third lady said......"

Speaking of this, the family was a little stumbling.

Wu Jie said in a deep voice: "Go on." ”

Jia Ding said at this time: "The third lady said, the people in this house are cold, and the second young master has no acquaintances, just Wu Gongzi, you are a friend." In any case, I have to ask the son to go over and take a look at the second young master......" Speaking of this, the family's tears came out again.

At this time, Li Shizhen next to him suddenly asked: "What kind of medicine did the imperial doctor order, can there be a prescription?" ”

Jiading: "Just some antipyretics, as for what is prescribed on the prescription, I don't know the small ones." ”

Only then did Wu Jie turn around and bow to Li Shizhen: "Mr. Dongbi." ”

Li Shizhen waved his hand: "Shizhen doesn't need to say much, the heart of the doctor's parents." Even if you don't come to invite me, if I encounter this kind of thing, I can't ignore it, let's just go. ”

Wu Jie breathed a sigh of relief, according to reason, Lu Chang should have a high fever caused by inflammation of the wound, but it was not very serious. With Li Shizhen here, he should be able to rescue him.

At that moment, Wu Jie didn't talk nonsense, and shouted: "Lian Laosan, go and hire two sedan chairs to come over and send me and Mr. Dongbi to Lufu." ”

Before Lian Laosan could speak, the family immediately said: "Don't hire it, the villain brought a carriage, please go over quickly." ”

At this time, the moth shouted: "Childe, today is an important day." ”

Li Shizhen also persuaded: "Shizhen, don't say that I forgot, today is the trial list of Shuntianfu Township, this is a major event related to your future." Otherwise, you stay, and I'll go alone. ”

Wu Jie shook his head: "The fame is nothing compared to the safety of my classmates and friends." In this township test, if I am at home, if I don't win, there is nothing I can do. If I win, even if I'm not there, will I still be dismissed? ”

A hint of appreciation flashed in Li Shizhen's eyes: "That's true, Shizhen Gaoyi, let's go." ”

Wu Jie stopped talking nonsense, and immediately said to Lian Laosan: "Lao Lian, you don't have to go with me, just stay at home, and wait for the official who sent the good news to come over, and you will receive it." If it's really important, just come to the Lu Mansion to find me. ”

Lian Laosan: "Yes, don't worry, master." ”

The carriage rushed out quickly, and after a while, Li Shizhen suddenly said: "Shizhen seems to be very sure of the township test, and even how to receive the people who report the good news has been arranged in advance." ”

Wu Jie smiled faintly and didn't speak, calm and confident.

When they arrived at Lu Mansion, the people in Lu Chang's courtyard had already made arrangements, and there were already people waiting at the gate, and when they saw Wu Jie and Li Shizhen getting out of the car, they immediately took them in.

It's strange to say, Lu Fatzi is sick like that, but Lu Fu doesn't have the slightest gloomy appearance. On the contrary, the courtyard was lit up and several canopies were erected, as if to set up a congregation.

There are many banquets in the open space in front of the big flower hall, and there are housekeepers and maids who come and go with all kinds of fruits and wines.

There were also a lot of talented people from the Lu family sitting in the banquet, or they were preoccupied, or they were suffering from gains and losses, or they were itchy and hard to scratch, and they had all kinds of expressions.

In the most conspicuous position in the front row, Lu Xuan was sitting precariously with an indifferent expression.

And Lin Tingchen quietly hid in the most corner, looking like he didn't want to attract attention. But Wu Jie watched carefully, this guy clenched his fists nervously, and his teeth were clenched very tightly.

This guy used to be a very showy person, but since he had a stalemate with Lu Xuan, he seemed to be afraid of something, and he seemed to be invisible, and he often liked to hide in unknown places.

After these three township tests, Wu Jie had a much better relationship with his classmates in the clan studies.

Seeing him come in, many students immediately greeted him, and said with a smile: "Shizhen, you are also here, I have been waiting for you for a long time, but I have been waiting." ”

Wu Jie didn't know what these people were doing here, so he returned the salute, wondering in his heart: "Why is it so lively, what are you doing?" ”

Before anyone else could answer, Lin Tingchen didn't know when he came over: "Brother Shizhen, the scholars of the Lu family have sent you." Today is the Shuntianfu Township test list, Mr. Dai said that all the scholars who took the exam must wait for news here. The eldest lord and the second lord also set up a wine banquet, and if they were won, they would immediately set up wine to celebrate. ”

Lin Gongzi has been isolated by everyone since he turned his face with Lu Xuan, and he has been living a good life in the school these days. Seeing everyone gathered to talk, I couldn't help but follow.

Wu Jie said coldly: "Celebrate, what to celebrate, Lu Chang is sick like that, even if he is hit, there is nothing to rejoice about." ”

The other scholars were a little ashamed.

Lin Tingchen said: "It's just a fever, how can it be compared to everyone's fame." Besides, this banquet was organized by the eldest master and the second master, since the two masters are not in a hurry, it is not a big deal to think about Lu Chang. ”

"Very good, don't forget, Master Lin, Fat Lu is your brother-in-law." Wu Jie was suddenly annoyed in his heart, kicked a chair to the ground, and sneered: "People say that once you enter the Hou Gate, it is as deep as the sea, and the courtyard of the deep house and the rich and noble people often have unknown sorrows. Before, Wu Jie didn't think so, but now I'll see you, hehe...... And you, even if there are more Lu Fatzi, after all, there are classmates. He is so sick that he is dying, and you still have the heart to drink highly, Wu Jie is deeply despised! ”

After that, he didn't talk about it, and walked towards the inner house.

The other showmen all lowered their heads in shame, only Lin Tingchen was ashamed and angry, and shouted loudly: "Arrogant, rebellious, Wu Jie, what do you think you are so great." Don't think that just because you write a few crooked poems, you feel like a character. The real kung fu is only seen on the imperial examination field, and when you are selected, it is not too late to say these words. ”

Wu Jie ignored it, only Lu Xuan, "Wow!" He opened the folding fan with a sound and fanned it slowly, with disdain on his face.

All the Xiucai felt bored, and stood awkwardly for a long time, and then one of them said: "It's noon, why hasn't the Dragon and Tiger list come out, when did the previous township test come out?" ”

One of the showmen replied: "Generally speaking, last night, the Yuan should have been fixed, and the good news would have been delivered to the scholars of Zhongju early in the morning, but today it is strange." ”

Saying this, everyone felt that this year's exam was a little weird, and they didn't feel worried.

Shuncheonfu Gongyuan, in the lobby.

In fact, the talents of the Lu family are right, in fact, the examiners in each room had already sent the winning papers to the lobby last night, and asked the chief and deputy examiners to Ding Yuan.

As soon as the drums sounded, there were officials and clerks who quickly set up five official seats in the public court, and a long desk was placed underneath to be used when filling in the list.

The two positions in the middle of these five seats are the positions of the chief and deputy examiners Bao Yingxia and Lu Fengyi, and the other three belong to two supervisors and one promotion officer respectively.

As long as the task of the supervisor and the promotion officer is to supervise and inspect, they will be stationed in the tribute court from the beginning of the examination and supervise the whole process. Although it is nominally surveillance, it actually works under the leadership of the chief and deputy examiners. In fact, the imperial examination system was complete by the middle of the Ming Dynasty, and the three of them had nothing to do, and the main task was to see whether the process from the issuance of the roll to the point list was in line with the procedure, the form and content, and there was no suggestion or veto power on the results of the township examination.

In front of the five official seats, a pair of bright red candles were lit, about two feet high, as thick as a child's arm, and weighed at least two catties, illuminating the lobby as bright as day.

In front of the chief and deputy examiners, there was a small pile of red papers that were selected and sent by the examiners of each room.

The so-called Zhu Roll means that after answering the paper, you need to paste the name in the exam. The Gongyuan has a special transcription, and another copy will be made with cinnabar and handed over to the examiner for review.

If the principal and deputy examiners think that there is no problem, they will draw a circle on it, and then set the ranking.

After the list is determined, you have to find out the original of the papers in the exam and check them, and after you find that the two papers are consistent, you will be officially taken.

Because the candidate's original paper is written with ink pen, it is also called an ink scroll.

There are more than 3,000 candidates in the Tianfu Township Examination today, but only 75 were selected in the end. Even so, it took a whole night to read these seventy-five papers one by one and arrange the rankings.

By dawn, it's time to be out of the charts.

But until now, the lobby is still quarreling endlessly, and it is very lively.

"This is the paper you chose?" Lu Fengyi was angry, patted the stack of red rolls in front of her with her hand, and yelled at the examiner, with green tendons bursting on her forehead.

"What's the matter, is there anything that doesn't suit Lord Lu's wishes?" The examiner was not afraid, sneered at Lord Lu's eyes that were about to burn, and asked in a sarcastic tone.
