Yang Ling hired a big car and put things on the car, Zhang Yong, Liu Jin, and Ma Yongcheng, three older eunuchs, accompanied the prince and the attendants to sit in the car, and the other younger ones had to deign to follow the car and go straight to Huguosi Street.

Although Zhu Houzhao was bold and nonsense, he was also worried that the prince's private exit from the palace would be known to everyone, so he instructed Yang Ling and the Eight Tigers on the way, only saying that a few people were all the prince's attendants, anyway, the common people didn't know how many literati were reading around the prince.

The young lady waited for Yang Ling to leave, only felt stuffy in her chest, and after eating a little, she could no longer swallow, so she went to the kang to rest for a while, sat up and practiced kung fu for a while, and felt that her chest was much more comfortable.

Han Youniang was surprised and delighted, why did Xianggong come back so early today? She hurriedly went out of the door, only to see a person in a blue robe and a long coat dressed in a beautiful talent standing outside the door, all carrying a lot of things on their shoulders, Yang Ling came forward and said with a smile: "Young lady, these are the attendants of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in the East Palace, and they are my colleagues, I heard that I just came to Jingshi, and I specially bought a gift to visit."

Liu Jin, Gu Dayong and the others all tried their best to put on a kind smile when they heard this, and they each nodded their heads, and said with a smile on their faces: "Yes, yes, we are all colleagues of Yang Xianggong, and we are here to visit the house today."

The cultural level of these eight people is high and low, some are called Mrs. Yang, some are called little ladies, Qiu Ju and Wei Bin are young, and they grew up in the palace since childhood, and they don't know how to call the young lady, and they don't care how old they are compared to Yang Ling, they simply call her the sister-in-law of the Yang family.

The young lady heard that it was a colleague who was on public affairs with the next child, so she didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly welcomed them in. These people took all kinds of gifts, including window flowers dyed with quartz flakes, pickle jars, and gourds filled with oil painted with eight immortals.

Zhengde stood behind the pile, the last one stepped into the door, he was also dressed as a little scholar, dressed in a green robe, wearing a cloth towel, holding a half-gnawed "Hu Furnace Cake" in his hand, he jumped to the young lady in a few steps, threw the three hanging pearls and a package of good rice paper on the kang together, and said to the young lady with a smile: "Sister young lady, I'm here too."

The young lady was stunned, and when she saw that he was still young, she couldn't help but be surprised and surprised: "Is such a young scholar also a person from the prince's side?" She saw that the scholar was a little familiar, but she couldn't remember when she had seen it. Yang Ling hurriedly stepped forward and said, "This cough cough is also my colleague, do you remember the little boy I saw in Huguo Temple?" ”

Han Youniang sighed, and said with surprise and joy: "I remember, I remember, it turns out that the little boy is also the companion of the prince, please come in quickly."

Seeing that this little scholar was about the same age as the third brother Mancang'er, the young lady felt very kind, and smiled at him: "Come into the house and sit down, you are a colleague of Xianggong, you should call me sister-in-law."

Zhengde only had one younger brother who died when he was young, although there were many dragon sons and grandsons of the Zhu family, and they were all thrown out of Beijing, and he really didn't call other people's sisters-in-law usually, he thought about it sideways, and felt that it felt good to have such a sister-in-law as a young lady, so he happily changed his words.

The young lady smiled and agreed, and was about to boil water to make tea, Zhang Yong hurriedly stopped her, and said with a smile: "Madame, you're welcome, Yang Shiyu will invite all colleagues to go to the restaurant to drink in a while, and we will come to the house to sit and leave."

These people are really tired, but Zhengde is still full of energy, scurrying around inside and outside the house. When I saw something I had never seen in the palace, I called my sister-in-law at the throat of the male duck. Since the young lady arrived in the capital, she misses her hometown relatives a little, Zhengde is beautiful, naughty like her younger brother Han Mancang, and the young lady also likes him, so she always bears the surname to explain.

Later, Zhu Houzhao saw the well in the courtyard again, and saw that there was a rope tied to the wooden reel, and he could draw the sweet and clear well water by twisting it with a wooden barrel, and he suddenly became playful. He listened to the young lady's explanation of the usage, and saw that only half a tank of water was left in the Yang family's water tank, so he immediately filled the water tank with buckets of water with great interest.

Liu Jin and Zhang Yong saw that the prince was doing this rough work, and they couldn't care about being tired, so they hurriedly rushed out to help.

A few eunuchs stood by the well in horror for fear that he would make a mistake, and when they saw that he had finally stopped, they were afraid that he would come up with some fresh ideas to mess around, so they hurriedly took the opportunity to say goodbye to the young lady, and the group went out of the courtyard, Yang Ling deliberately left behind, and when they walked away, he turned back to the young lady and said: "Young lady, you look so bad, your cheeks are flushed, are you uncomfortable, or I will take you to see Langzhong." ”

Han Youniang cheered up and smiled: "How can my body be so valuable? Don't worry, Xu is stomach is cold, a little uncomfortable, I'll rest for a while, you go and accompany the guests, don't lose the etiquette. ”

She patted the dust that fell on Yang Ling's shoulders when he was carrying things, and said with a smile: "The prince is really a strange person, some of the attendants around him are about to be grandfathers, and some are not big children, they are also big people in the court, right?" But I don't think they're as dignified as their counterparts."

"That's it!" Yang Ling straightened his chest, and looked back, eight big eunuchs, a little hairy boy, the surname of the nine evil people in history will not be mentioned for the time being, just looking at his appearance, he is also the most majestic.

He smiled at his beloved wife with great dignity and said, "Go back, rest if you don't feel well, and don't pick up your things yet." In a few days, my husband will buy a ring and come back to serve you, and my young lady should also enjoy it."

*********************************

The examination, generally held in February of the second year of the township examination, so it is called the spring of the year, when the whole country gathers in the capital to make a dying struggle, its tragic situation is more intense than the current college entrance examination when thousands of troops cross the single-plank bridge. This year's spring festival was due to a serious illness of Emperor Hongzhi a year ago, and after the New Year, it was attacked by Tatars, so the spring festival was postponed until now, and it was a month late.

Today is the first day of the exam, the Ministry of Rites wants to invite the holy oracle, worship the sky, worship Confucius, many etiquette is very cumbersome, so the exam time is not early, and now there are groups of lifters on the street hurrying to the school palace examination center.

Zhu Houzhao saw those candidates who were carrying burdens and holding pen and ink, and he was curious for a while, and also rushed to the school palace to see the excitement. Yang Ling knew that he hadn't had enough fun, and he must not have the heart to do big things, so he had to accompany Liu Jin and others all the way to the Xue Palace.

Some cities in Daming have built a school palace, the school palace is not only a place for local students to study hard, but also a Confucian temple, the Confucian temple in Beijing is naturally the largest school palace in the country. Zhu Houzhao and others came to the front of the school palace, only to see the high gold plaque on the lintel with the four big characters of "Wan Shi Shi Table", and a two-meter-high forbidden monument was erected in front of the stone bridge outside Panchi: "The civil and military officials have dismounted here."

No matter how big an official is, when you get to the school palace, you have to get off the sedan chair and walk in. When the literati became great officials, they would come back to worship Master Confucius, which could be regarded as returning to their hometown and showing off their backwards. As for the military generals, even if the official residence is a product and the power is tilted towards the government and the opposition, everyone who sees the word Xuegong from afar will go around, there is no way, the old scholars in the Xuegong have recognized half of the Analects to rule the world, and the moral articles are unparalleled in the world, and the martial artists will be disregarded when they enter.

Although this school palace is large, it still can't accommodate the national candidates, and now three rows of wooden sheds are built along the palace wall as the test center, and the surrounding area is covered with cloth curtains, and soldiers are sent to strictly guard it.

When Zhu Houzhao arrived slowly, the bell and drum had already started the exam, and in addition to the family members and servants of the lifters, there were also some vendors selling tea and snacks in front of the door, and none of them were gone. Zhu Houzhao suddenly felt bored, and saw that there was a tea stall under the big locust tree, so he walked over and sat down, Liu Jin hurriedly called Xiao Er, asked for tea, snacks, melon seeds, and accompanied Zhu Houzhao to chat under the tree.

Yang Ling looked at the sun, it is estimated that it is more than ten o'clock in the morning, and there is plenty of time to go to the military department, so he put his mind at ease, he said to Zhu Houzhao, and slowly walked west along the Panchi, wanting to see the appearance of these lifters to test the eight shares, but the cloth curtain is too tight, and there is an officer and soldier guarding every few steps, and they are scolded loudly by people when they get closer, Yang Ling wandered for a while, and was about to turn around and walk back, when suddenly a man hurriedly passed by him with a burden, and went straight to the test door surrounded by cloth curtains, and the man was sweating profusely, Holding up the test sticker, he said anxiously: "Brother Bing, the student came late for some reason, and went to the wrong examination room, and was a little late, please be accommodating Brother Bing and let me in."

Yang Ling stopped curiously, turned around and looked, there were four soldiers standing at the door, one of them waved his hand and said, "Will you try to delay such a big thing?" If it's too late, we'll wait another three years, and we'll not dare to let you in."

The man was so anxious that he was sweating profusely, and while begging bitterly, he made a series of gestures: "Brother soldiers, the students have been studying hard for ten years, for this moment, don't hide it from the big brothers, the students studied hard until the third watch last night, and they only hated a scoundrel on the road, and they were pulled and entangled by him, so it was delayed, please help me a lot."

Yang Ling looked at this and saw that he was twenty-five or sixteen years old, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, dark skin, tall and thin, wearing a green shirt, empty like a bamboo pole.

As he spoke, the man reached into his arms, took out all the silver taels he was carrying, stuffed them into the soldier's hand, and said with a smile: "Brother soldiers, you are very accommodating, you are very kind, and the students will not forget it."

The soldier saw that he had more than ten taels of silver, and his eyes suddenly showed a greedy look, but there were layers of checkpoints in this scientific examination area, and after passing his level, he could not enter the scientific field, he was a soldier, but he had no right to send him in, so he had to regretfully throw the silver back into the arms of the man, shook his head, and said no more.

Seeing this scene, the man was so anxious that the sweat on his forehead trickled down, and he didn't even bother to wipe it, but still pulled the small flag and kept begging, and several other soldiers saw that he was not leaving, and they all shouted loudly, and an official of the Ministry of Rites walked out when he heard the sound, flicked the sleeves of his robe, and scolded: "Who is making noise at the door?" ”

The official of the Ministry of Rites is just a small member of the Ministry of Rites, but he can't take care of this move in a hurry, he knelt on the ground with a puff, and said loudly: "Adults save me, adults save me, the students are a moment late for some reason, and they are not allowed to enter, please be gracious, let me in", said that the move kowtowed like pounding garlic, Yang Ling didn't care, and when he heard him knock the ground knocking, he was stunned, and he sympathized for a while.

Wai Lang, a member of the Ministry of Rites, rolled his eyes and said coldly: "The imperial court is to select talents and serve the country, and even a major event like the examination can be late, can a person like you also enter the court as an official?" Let's go back and read the books of the sages for a few more years."

The man choked up when he heard the words, and he fell on the ground and couldn't get up, but kept kowtowing, and he couldn't even make a voice of pleading. Yang Ling couldn't bear it when he saw it, and couldn't help but intercede: "This lord, he is only a quarter of an hour late, and there will be no possibility of cheating, so it's better to let him in." Adults are also readers, so it's not easy to read hard."

Wai Lang, a member of the Ministry of Rites, smiled coldly, glanced at him with slanted eyes, and said disdainfully: "Who are you?" ”

Yang Ling said: "In Xia Yangling, he is also a scholar, and the only way for a scholar to work hard and get ahead in half his life is the science field, which is related to the future of people's lives, so adults will be kind to help him."

Wai Lang, a member of the Ministry of Rites, sneered, and said in a weird manner: "What is the place in the science field?" What is the big deal about the imperial examination? How can such a sacred and solemn thing allow people to follow their own interests? ”

Yang Ling saw his disgusting face, and suddenly remembered Zhang Haogu who was sent to the examination room by Wei Zhongxian of the East Factory in "Three Levels in a Row", and his heart moved, saying that the factory guards were rampant, and everyone looked sideways, I don't know if my brand will work. When he saw that there were no acquaintances around, he reached into his arms and touched the jade plaque and came out, raised it in front of the Ministry of Rites, and said with a smile: "My lord, because the scientific examination is the most important thing in life, please be a little accommodating, and the merit is immeasurable."

When the member of the Ministry of Rites saw the flying fish token in Yang Ling's hand, he suddenly felt a chill in his heart, the brocade guard who was free in the Beijing division was the blood devouring demon of the Beizhen Fusi, and this yamen came out with a Jinyi lieutenant casually, which was enough for him, a small clerk, to drink a pot, not to mention that the jade plate in this person's eyes must be a senior officer in the brocade guard.

When did Jin Yiwei even take care of the imperial examination? They are also considered to be members of the military department, and they usually hate to come to the school palace the most, but could it be that the emperor's special edict Jinyi Wei came to secretly investigate? A little delay is not an inaccommodating matter, but if this man slanders me in front of the Holy One, saying that I am deliberately making things difficult for the scholars, then

For a while, the face of the ceremonial member Wailang was also sweating, and he ate and said: "Lord Yang, I don't know the identity of Lord Yang just now, it's rude, it's really rude." There is a word from the adult, then what is not to do, the lower official immediately sent this lifter to the entrance examination in person, although the adult can rest assured."

The thin and tall man had been kneeling at the door with his face up to listen to the two of them, and when he heard this, he was immediately overjoyed, and hurriedly kowtowed: "Thank you, Lord Yang, thank you, Lord Examiner."

Although he didn't know what brand Yang Ling was holding, seeing that he was young, he actually made the examiner look different, and he must be a high-ranking official.

Yang Ling bowed his hand to the examiner and said: "So, thank you", and then smiled at the lifter: "It's difficult to send you in, and it's even more difficult to get the title of the gold list. ”

He did a good deed, and his heart was extremely happy, his feet fluttered, and he walked towards the main gate of the school palace. The ceremonial member Wai Lang breathed a sigh of relief, and said to the man with palpitations: "Hurry up, hurry up, I'll send you into the examination room."

"Yes, yes, thank you Lord Examiner", the man stood up with tears in his eyes, turned his head and saw that Yang Ling was about to turn the curtain, and said in a choked voice: "Lord Yang's kindness, student Yan Song, I dare not or forget in this life!" ”

Yang Ling had just turned the cloth curtain, and when he heard this, he stumbled under his feet and almost fell into the river with his head.
