After nine days in the filthy examination room, in addition to being mentally stressed, I had to endure the smoke and fire of the kitchen all day. The weather is getting hot again, and I stay in the narrow and stuffy room, sweating one after another.

The whole person is as if he has just been fished out of the sauerkraut jar, it is rancid and smelly, and when he reaches out and wipes it on his neck, it is a series of dirt, which is the so-called kneading noodles.

Most of the ancients, especially the children of poor families, did not pay attention to hygiene, and it was common for them to take a bath once a month, and they were all like mud monkeys. This is the case with a few children in the neighborhood, even the third child likes children, and as soon as he touches these little naughty, he grabs them directly and rubs them against his little arms and legs.

Then, the adults and children just burst into laughter.

Such a bad taste naturally made Wu Jie deeply disgusted, and he strictly stopped it.

This was washed away by the heavy rain, and the body suddenly loosened, and there was a sense of transparency inside and outside.

At the moment, Wu Jie didn't use an umbrella, let out a long howl, and strode on the Gongyuan Square.

The people in the square had already been dispersed by the sudden rainstorm, and the sight was open, and no one stopped them, but they also walked happily. I saw one after another silver rain coming down from the sky, as if weaving a crystal bead curtain in front of me.

Open your mouth, or howl, or whistle, hearty.

Someone already recognized the famous Wu Shizhen, and immediately shouted: "What an unruly Wu Shizhen, I am willing to follow." So he threw the umbrella in his hand, or the coat on his body, to the ground and followed.

I don't know who handed over a jar of rice wine, and Wu Jie didn't shirk it. It was straightforward, swallowing his stomach with a big gulp and rain: "Shuntianfu Gongyuan, as long as Wu Shizhen comes out, he will never go in again." This course is a must-have! ”

"Okay, so arrogant!"

"Wu Shizhen, can you have poetry?"

There were more and more people walking briskly behind Wu Jie, the headscarf had fallen off, and the hair was scattered, just frolicking in the rain, laughing, crazy, and whistling......

Haotian Shu day. Lingjing shines on Shenzhou...... was browned out of the room, and chased Xu by high steps.

"Wu Shizhen, can you have poetry?"

……

"No, no!" Laughing and shaking his head.

Wu Jie was drunk. Thoroughly drunk, staggering, disheveled.

It's been a year since I traveled to the Ming Dynasty, and at this moment, I finally came to the end.

Not to mention that he has a strong belief that he can be a jinshi. Even if there is a case, it is enough to fight and fight for it. Thorough crossing is nothing. In the future, if you can't go back, it's nothing, as long as you have this spirit. Is there anything that is incomprehensible and fearful in the future?

Yes. In the long river of history, a person is just a small wave, but as long as he strives to go up, there will always be a day when he will stand at the head of the tide.

The rain in front of me is getting heavier and heavier, and there is chaos between heaven and earth, like coming to a sea in a storm.

Seeing that it was about to be swallowed up, but it was brave to fly upward, upward, towards the other side of the clouds.

There were strong feelings in his heart, and he couldn't help but let out a long hiss, and recited loudly: "Piles of dark clouds, like cyan flames, burning on the bottomless sea." The sea seized the bolts of lightning and extinguished them in its own abyss. The shadows of these lightning bolts, like fiery snakes, swam in the sea and disappeared in a flash.

- Tempest! The storm is coming!

This is the brave petrel, in the roaring sea, in the midst of the lightning, flying proudly; Here is the prophet of victory shouting:

- Let the storm come harder! ”

……

After returning home, seeing Wu Jie soaking wet, Mozi was surprised: "How did you do this?" There were reproachful eyes looking at Lian Laosan.

"Uncle Lian, did the master drink wine?" ..., even the third child was a little cramped, and said: "As soon as the old man came out of the examination room, the old man of the same year sent the wine over...... The old man ate a jar in one go, and it turned out like this. They are all famous masters, and the identity of the villain can't be relied on at all......"

"Hey, forget it, it's still cold, don't get sick." Moth no longer nagged, hurriedly changed Wu Jie into dry clothes, poured another mouthful of hot soup, and then helped Wu Jie to bed and covered it thickly with the quilt.

The rain had stopped, and Moth fetched a basin of water in the well, ready to wash the long shirt on Wu Jie's body.

This twist actually wrung out a stream of black water.

By the next morning, Wu Jie woke up with a terrible headache and thirsty, so he asked Mozi to pour himself a cup of hot tea. But unlike her, she brought a bowl of mash, saying that the next day after getting drunk, if you have a headache, you can drink a little more, so that it will get better, this is called sunken wine.

Soon after drinking the mash, my head really didn't hurt anymore, and I also felt hungry, so I asked for another bowl. And let the moth deliberately cook some glutinous rice balls in it.

Moth then remembered to ask Wu Jie how he did in the exam, Wu Jie smiled: "Moth, didn't you say that it doesn't matter if you don't get in or fail when you enter the examination room, why did you think of asking this?" ”

Moth: "Since you have entered the examination room, you have to ask, what is the Jinshi sounds louder than the lifter." Although the words were flat, his eyes were full of anticipation.

In front of his own people, there is no need to be modest, Wu Jie said: "I probably won." ”

Moth Yixi: "What is probably the hit, and the apricot list hasn't been released yet?" ”

"You also know the apricot list?" Wu Jie smiled, the township test is in autumn, and the osmanthus flowers are fragrant in autumn, so it is called Guibang; In the spring season, the apricot blossoms are blooming, which is also called the apricot list.

Wu Jie: "I got into the exam all the way, and I did so many questions, and I naturally had a sense of proportion in my heart." I am still sure that I will take the exam, but I don't know if I can get the Huiyuan and get the first. ”

The smile on Moth's face could no longer be hidden, and he said again and again: "As long as you win, it's okay, it doesn't hurt if you don't get the first." By the way, when will the list be released? ”

Wu Jie: "Generally speaking, seven to nine days, it may also be in advance, this does not need to worry, when the time comes, there will be its own newspaper to deliver." ”

"Oh, so we'll get the news in early March." I took the exam for nine days. Wait until the list is released, calculated by the day, it is indeed in March, which happens to be the spring season when the apricot blossoms bloom.

Moth asked again, "So." Is the temple exam also in March? ”

Wu Jie: "Do you care about moths?" smiled and said: "After the list will be released, it will take a month for the palace test, and it will be at the beginning of May." ”

As he was talking, Lian Laosan ran in with an excited face: "Master, Sister Mozi, someone came and said it was from the Tribute Academy...... Could it be that you are here to deliver good news? ”

"How is that possible?" Wu Jie and Mozi both stood up: "It won't be so fast." Call him in, right? ”

Wu Jie wondered, what did the Gongyuan Tolerance come to me early in the morning to do, is this strange?

After a while, Lian Laosan led the three servants into the study.

In ancient times, the status of the official was humble. The so-called car and ship shops are all lowly people, and their children and grandchildren cannot take the imperial examination.

As a modern person, Wu Jie naturally did not discriminate against them. However, if it is too polite to them. Spreading the word is a loss to your reputation.

So, he didn't stand up, just sat on the chair and nodded slightly to the three of them: "The three of you are here early in the morning, what is the matter?" ”

The three of them were very cramped. At the same time, he stepped forward to meet Master Wu and reported to his home.

What surprised Wu Jie was. Not all three of them were from the Tribute Court.

Two of them were officials of the Shuntian Mansion, and one belonged to the infantry class. He is responsible for the investigation of criminal cases, and the other is responsible for the examination of the body. ..., a criminal investigator and an autopsy came home early in the morning, which is strange.

Wu Jie's heart moved, and he didn't speak.

The officials of the Nagong Academy have been dealing with scholars all the year round, and they are articulate, and they will make things clear in a few words: "Master Wu, the candidate named Wu Lun opposite your examination house is dead. ”

"Ahh Wu Jie couldn't help but shout: "It's dead, how did you die?" ”

The official replied: "About the time of the exam, he handed in the blank papers, and his heart was lost, so he hanged himself, isn't he already crazy, a madman can do everything." ”

This person came to tell the story very vividly. Just after the examination, when the candidates handed in their papers, they found that Wu Lun had not handed in the papers. The officials and the examiner were strange, and when they ran over to look, they saw that the fellow had hung his belt on the eaves, and the man was hanging on it, and he had lost his breath.

Wu Jie sighed and stopped talking, he didn't expect Wu Lun to do such a thing. He hated this guy very much, but when he heard the news of his death, he was still a little sad for no reason.

After a moment of silence, Wu Jie asked, "He is dead when he dies, what are you doing with me?" ”

The three of them were a little embarrassed, and they glanced at each other, and then the official said embarrassedly: "This Wu Lun is originally from Chengdu Mansion, and he has no relatives in the capital. Later, when the villain heard that he was from King Jing's mansion, he went to the palace to report and asked them to come and collect the body, but the palace didn't care. Later, the villain heard that Wu Lun was a member of Master Wu's clan...... It is said that this kind of corpse can be sent directly to Yizhuang, but he is a good man, and it is not appropriate to send it to that kind of place. I begged you to come to you, master, and hoped to be kind and give some money to burn and bury the money to end the matter. ”

Only then did Wu Jie understand that this official was here to ask for money. He didn't expect King Jing to be so cold, and Wu Lun was also a staff member of the palace, but once he died, he was worthless, but he turned his face ruthlessly.

Wu Jie, as a member of the Wu family, and his cousin died in the examination room, so he took out a money ticket of ten taels of silver and handed it over, and instructed the three of them to choose a feng shui treasure and bury Wu Lun.

Only then did the three officials become happy, and praised Wu Jie in unison for being worthy of being a virtuous disciple of the Confucian sage, a famous man in the world, and a great master of the blue sky who is dedicated to the people in the future.

sent away the three people, and Wu Jie was inexplicably sad for two days.

Seeing that he was not in a high mood, Mozi proposed to go to Tongzhou to live for two days, so that he could relax.

So, Wu Jie took Mozi and Lian Lao's father and daughter to Tongzhou for five days. This place is the end of the Grand Canal, and it is very lively and business-promising. Because the moth's belly is getting bigger, even Guizhi's body is not good, and he will need someone to serve him in the future.

Wu Jie simply bought two boys and three little maids, Beijing's population price is not expensive, two or two boys, three taels of maids.

At this time, the number of people in the family suddenly increased.

When the mood improves, when I return to my home in the capital, it is time for the trial list.

Early in the morning, Wu Jie was too lazy to wait for the good news at home, so he instructed Lian Laosan to wait for the newspaper at home, and he took a child to the Gongyuan to see the list. (To be continued......)
