As soon as the red lady drank, Ma Xinyu suddenly woke up, he looked up, a girl in red with bright eyes and cool teeth walked towards him, her face was seven points annoyed, three points of smile, raised her hand, threw her foot, Ying Ying was like jade, as if she came out of the painting. In fact, Ma Xinyu and the red lady are not the first time they have met, the last time they had a relationship in the Ma family rice shop, but at that time, the black light was blinding, and there were many people between the two, but they didn't see it so clearly.

At this time, at close range, Ma Xinyu only felt that his chest was like a hammer, and he stood there for a moment, and only after half a sound did he mutter: "Dancing like a frightening Hong, graceful like a swimming dragon, glorious autumn chrysanthemum, Huamao green pine." The hair is like the moon covered by light clouds, and the fluttering is like the snow of the flowing wind. Looking at it from afar, it is as bright as the sun rising in the morning glow. Forced to notice it, the scorching fufu out of the waves...... I used to think that "Luo Shen Fu" was a deceptive thing, but I didn't know that there were really such women in the world......"

In fact, the red lady is not as beautiful as he described, although the heroism is enough, but the face is not delicate, the "fluttering like a frightening Hong, graceful like a swimming dragon" can barely be said, but "glory autumn chrysanthemum, Huamao green pine" is seriously untrue. It's a bit too much to describe it as "Luo Shen Fu", but young men in the world, once they fall in love with a certain woman, they feel that the other party is the most beautiful person in the world, and they look ugly as all women in the world, which is the same in ancient and modern times.

He said a lot, he said a lot, he was afraid that he would run away with a shy face, and he was slapped in the face by a spicy woman, but fortunately he met an illiterate red lady, she didn't understand what Ma Xinyu was saying at all, and walked closer. He crossed his hand and said angrily: "You scholar, if you want to compose poems and go into the examination room to compose, what kind of poems do you want to write while standing here in the middle of the road?" ”

Ma Xinyu hurriedly said: "That poem was not written by Xiaosheng, Xiaosheng didn't dare to impersonate his name, it was Cao ......, a great genius in the Three Kingdoms era."

"Cao, you're big, go inside." The red lady said: "Do they all look good at the door?" Get me in. ”

Ma Xinyu suddenly woke up, and said resignedly: "The girl has an order, and the little student should obey it!" "I was in a daze and walked inside the exam room. Took three steps. Come back and look at the red lady. As a result, he stumbled under his feet, and his nose and face were swollen with a snap.

The red lady shook her head and said to the soldier next to her: "This person is stupid, I don't think he has much knowledge." I can't pass the test. ”

The soldiers next to him nodded and said, "It's really stupid." ”

Ma Xinyu heard that the Yiren had such a low evaluation of him. Said hurriedly: "The girl is not strange. Although Xiaosheng is a little demented, his knowledge is not bad. ”

The red lady laughed and ignored him.

Ma Xinyu was anxious: "You wait." Niche...... Xiaosheng must be the first to hit the case. ”

At this time, Ma Xiaotian walked out of the examination room, it turned out that Zhu Yuanzhang also came to the examination room today, Ma Xiaotian, as the leader of the guards, of course followed Zhu Yuanzhang, he wanted to be with the red lady more, so he found an excuse to leave Zhu Yuanzhang's side, saying that he came to the gate of the academy to maintain order. When I arrived at the place, a scholar looked at the red lady in a demented manner, his eyes were full of admiration, it was exactly the same as when he saw the red lady, his heart tightened, and he screamed: Oh, my mother, I have come to love the enemy.

Looking at Ma Xinyu carefully, I felt a little familiar, it seemed that I had seen him somewhere, but I saw that he was dressed in Confucian clothes, his face was delicate, and he seemed to be quite knowledgeable. After all, this era is noble and martial, and scholars are higher than ordinary people in everyone's minds, and even Ma Xiaotian himself thinks that scholars are better than himself. He was so miserable that he almost went underground. But young people always have to fight for breath, so he stood beside the red lady and whispered, "Red girl, I'm here." ”

The red lady glanced at him, and her face was gentle: "You are not on an errand beside Brother Zhu, what are you doing here?" ”

Ma Xiaotian blushed and said, "There are still thirty-five guards there, and it doesn't matter if I'm not there." ”

The red lady smiled and ignored him.

Ma Xinyu walked to the middle of the examination room, and looked back at Ma Xiaotian and the red lady, only to see that the red lady's face was soft to Ma Xiaotian, and she was suddenly shocked in her heart: "It's not good, this fairy-like girl seems to have a good relationship with that man...... Oh, it's over, that person looks strong in martial arts, Kong Wu is powerful, does the red girl like that kind of man? Wouldn't a scholar like me have no chance? He was distressed in his heart, but he just thought: I must be the first to pass the test, and I must also pass the test no matter what, so that I will not lose to anyone. While thinking, he moved into the lattice of the examination room step by step. ”

After a long time, all the candidates entered, Zhu Yuanzhang ordered the examination room to be closed, Ma Xiaotian and the red lady both walked behind him, standing left and right, and everyone waited for the students to answer the papers. Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes swept over the grid used for the exam, and he saw that among the hundreds of people who came to participate in science this time, scholars and students from all over the country still accounted for a minority, because most of the scholars and students did not dare to follow the thief, so naturally there were not many people. Zhu Yuanzhang was not surprised, this is the first time to be scientific, and it is normal for intellectuals in southern Shaanxi not to dare to come, and they will come in the future! And...... The later you come, the more you will regret it in the future. This is the same as the lower the status of the people in Huanglongshan at the beginning, no wonder others.

Most of the candidates came from Zhu Jun's soldiers, because Zhu Jun invited teachers to teach the soldiers, and there were two Western missionaries to teach some knowledge of various subjects, so Zhu Jun's soldiers also had a lot of cultural knowledge, but their knowledge was more miscellaneous, astronomy and geography or something, if it was only about writing Bagu Wen, it would be far worse than the traditional scholars. This time, Zhu Yuanzhang did not add all kinds of quirky subject topics in the imperial examination, because if he did it at the beginning, other candidates would not have to take the exam, and they would all have to fall behind. The questions of this exam were asked by Li Qingshui, and in general, it was a traditional imperial examination.

Ma Xiaotian's eyes have been staring at the fifth grid on the right-hand side, which is where Ma Xinyu is, he saw Ma Xinyu immersed in writing and writing, and seemed to be confident, so he felt a little crisis, so he leaned into Zhu Yuanzhang's ear and said: "Brother Zhu, after this exam, the person who won the exam must be a nerd, and it can never be our own person." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Hmm! This time the test is eight shares, and our people learn miscellaneous things, and the eight shares will definitely not be the first to take the case. ”

Ma Xiaotian said: "Isn't that very unfair? ”

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled: "That's not unfair, it's not that you are at the top of the exam, you will definitely be able to be the biggest official, if this is the case, the prime ministers of all dynasties have been champions, but in fact it is not the case." There are many people who become prime ministers, and their rankings in the exam are not very high, and the people who rank highest may not be able to become big officials. ”

Ma Xiaotian sighed, half understanding and half not understanding.

Zhu Yuanzhang said: "The exam just proves that you can read, but whether you can do things can only be known after becoming an official, and whoever benefits the people will be promoted, and whoever can't do practical things will be demoted...... In fact, when you are working in a formation, it is natural that the more you learn, the more you learn, the higher the level of practical work, and the ranking of the exam at that time is useless. ”

Ma Xiaotian finally understood a little bit, so he deliberately said to the red lady: "I see, no matter how good the exam is, it doesn't prove that this person is talented, haha...... Ha ha...... Haha......"

The red lady glared at him: "What are you laughing at?" ”

Ma Xiaotian wiped a handful of sweat: "It's nothing, I'll smile casually." ”

The difficulty of the college exam is relatively small, and the questions are not complicated, there is only one in total, and it didn't take long for students to come up and hand in the papers. Li Qingshui sat in front of him to collect the papers, and took the slips of paper to paste the names of the students. This is a means to prevent the marking teacher from cheating, in fact, the person who marked the paper this time is Li Qingshui himself, he is an upright person, and he will definitely not cheat, not to mention how can there be a reason in the world to prevent himself from cheating? But he still looked at it and confused the names of the candidates according to the rules.

Although he was helping the thieves organize the imperial examination, he knew that the hired people would help govern southern Shaanxi under his own hands in the future, so he looked very carefully, for fear of picking out some wine bags and rice bags, and ruining the hard-won life of the people in southern Shaanxi.

Until the next morning, Li Qingshui's eyes were dark, like a panda, and finally selected a hundred best-written test papers, and after careful consideration, he chose the first place in the case.

After choosing, he breathed a long sigh of relief, put down the burden of a thousand catties, and thought: I finally don't have to be busy like a dog, now with more than 100 helpers, I will definitely be able to make the people of southern Shaanxi live a better life.

looked at the test paper, and thought: The first paper is very well written, and its writing is more brilliant than mine, if you go to participate in the imperial examination of the imperial court, you will not be the best talent, but I didn't expect such a person to come to participate in the imperial examination of thieves, what a waste.

Thinking of this, he shook his head again and thought: If such a talent is allowed to go to the big dye vat of the imperial court, he will become a black-hearted corrupt official, and he is afraid that it will be even more wasteful, alas...... What exactly is right and what is wrong?

He tore open the name of the exam paper, and saw that the name on it was "Baishui Ma Xinyu", and vaguely felt that he had heard this name somewhere, but he couldn't remember it, so he shook his head and smiled dumbly: "I have been a county magistrate in Baishui for a few years, this Ma Xinyu may be the son of a squire's family, it's not surprising to hear it."
