Zuo Shaoyang didn't know that one of his test papers had caused such a turmoil, and he didn't know that Du Yan, a powerful minister of the court, was hiding in the dark to observe his performance. And how well he performs will determine his future fate.

He didn't know anything about all this, he just slept all day with nothing to do.

In the past, in Hezhou, I was very busy to diagnose patients every day, or to do farm work in the field, but now, there is no place to diagnose and go, let alone farm work, my father is next to him, and I can't often go to Qiao's house to see Miao Peilan, and I have also visited the capital, so there is really nothing to visit.

Young Master Tian and Wu Shu often came to invite him to drink flower wine, and said that his poem inscribed on the wall had begun to be sung in various spring buildings in the capital, and many artists wanted to see him ask for lyrics and songs. This gave Zuo Shaoyang a headache, firstly, he really didn't want to go to any kind of place, and secondly, his poems were just plagiarized from posterity, and he really couldn't write poems, and if he didn't do it, he would be ashamed. It's better to avoid this kind of thing as much as possible. So every time Young Master Tian and Wu Shu invited, he found an excuse to refuse.

So, I had to practice calligraphy at home all day long, read medical books, and talk and laugh with Bai Zhihan. I went to Qiao's house every once in a while to see Qiao Qiao'er and change her dressing, and at the same time visited Miao Peilan.

Miao Peilan was originally a rural girl who couldn't stay idle, but after she suddenly arrived in the capital, she had nothing to do, she was idle all day long, and she couldn't play piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and she couldn't even read books to relieve her boredom.

Thanks to the vacant land in Qiao's backyard garden, she has a place to work, and she bought a lot of chickens and ducks for her to raise and play. Only then did I have something to do, and I didn't feel bored.

Early this morning, Zuo Shaoyang was sleeping in the house, and the little squirrel yellow ball had already brought to the capital this time, curled up and lying on the side of his pillow and slept lazily. At this moment, I listened to the noise of gongs and drums outside the gate, and it was very lively.

Zuo Shaoyang pulled the quilt over and covered his head, covered his head and fell asleep. The little squirrel raised his head vigilantly and looked around, and when he saw that there was no movement, and the owner was still asleep, he also put his big furry tail on his body, and continued to sleep.

After a while, I suddenly heard the sound of clanging and rumbling, and someone ran into the house, and it was Bai Zhihan who heard the footsteps.

The quilt was lifted suddenly, Bai Zhihan pounced on him all of a sudden, and his happy voice changed: "Young Master! The young master is hit! ”

Zuo Shaoyang's heart jumped, and the sleepy insects flew away with a bang, he turned his head and asked, "How many are they?" ”

"Third place! Flowers! The one who sent the good news outside came to report! ”

Zuo Shaoyang snorted, put the quilt on his head again, and said in a muffled voice: "It's only the third, what's so happy!" ”

Bai Zhihan pounced on him again and lifted his quilt: "Aren't you happy?" The old man knows that he can't keep his mouth shut! Hurry up, my Tanhua! ”

Bai Zhihan couldn't help but pull him up, hurriedly dressed him in a robe, and then pulled him out. The little squirrel also seemed to know the happy event of the master, jumped and ran up, and ran to Bai Zhihan's shoulder, looking around with his little head, not squeaking twice.

Zuo Gui's father was standing on the patio and laughing happily, many of the neighbors didn't know each other, and they all came to congratulate him when he got the news.

Zuo Shaoyang stepped down the steps, Zuo Gui's father looked back at him, and his smile became even stronger: "Zhong'er!" Very good, high school tanhua! It has added glory to our Zuo family, hahaha. ”

The neighbors are happy to say: "Congratulations to Tanhuaye!" "Congratulations to Xiaolang High School!" "The addition of officials to the knight is waiting for him!" "I didn't expect that there was a Jinshi master in our workshop, now we can show our faces!"

Zuo Shaoyang returned the favor and thanked him, and asked Bai Zhihan to take a few pieces of money and distribute them to the people who came to report the good news and say good news.

Bai Zhihan said: "Master, young master, let's go and see the gold list!" ”

Zuo Gui's father had this intention, stroked his beard and nodded with a smile, Zuo Shaoyang also wanted to see what the gold list of the highest exam in ancient times looked like, and said: "Then go to Master Qiao's house to pick up Lan'er and Qiao'er, and go to see it together." ”

Zuo Gui's father naturally agreed, he is now hoping that everyone in the capital will know that his son has taken the third place in the high school medicine. Especially Master Qiao, one of the very important reasons why his family regretted marriage was that he felt that his son had no reputation and was not worthy of his daughter, and now, let him take a look!

So, the family cleaned up and was about to go out, but they didn't expect Qiao Qiaoer's silver bell-like laughter at the door: "Brother, Brother Tanhualang, we come to congratulate you on coming to Tanhua in high school!" ”

Master Qiao's family is particularly concerned about Zuo Shaoyang's fame, which involves his daughter's marriage. Therefore, through his son Qiao Guan, he has already heard about the release of the list, but the specific ranking is highly confidential before the release of the list, and it is impossible to find out, so the release of the list has sent a special person to wait in front of the gold list in front of the official department, so as soon as the list is released, I will know the news as soon as possible.

Miao Peilan and Qiao Qiao'er cheered and laughed together, Master Qiao, Mrs. and his son were also overjoyed, they had already calculated in their hearts, and even the carriage and horses were ready, and they immediately got in the car and came to the Zuo family to congratulate, just stopping the Zuo family at the door.

Qiao Qiaoer's femoral head necrosis has improved significantly after several months of treatment by Zuo Shaoyang, she originally had to use two crutches, and the pain was unbearable, but now she only needs one crutche, and it doesn't hurt much.

She was walking in the front, on crutches, and without the help of a maid, she limped over, stretched out her bright slender hand, and said with a smile: "Bring it!" ”

"What?" Zuo Shaoyang was stunned.

"Reward! We have come to you to give you good news, and we are not allowed to give you a reward? ”

Zuo Shaoyang smiled and grabbed her hand and slapped her gently: "Oh, Wuwen!" ”

"Humph! Brother who slammed the door! Qiao Qiao'er sneered.

At this time, Master Qiao and his wife had already come over to congratulate Zuo Gui's father: "Master Zuo, congratulations to Linglang High School for exploring flowers, congratulations!" ”

Father Zuo Gui saw him with a flattering smile, and even changed his name, from the original Zuo Langzhong to call himself Master Zuo, which was even more joyful, but thinking of his previous rudeness, he just smiled faintly and gave his hand perfunctorily: "TOEFL, the shadow of the ancestors." Hey hey"

Qiao Guan also stepped forward to congratulate, Qiao Guan helped a lot in the lawsuit between Zuo Gui's father and the old lady Yu, so Zuo Gui's father was still very grateful to him, and his attitude was very different. That's where you come. ”

Qiao Guan smiled and said: "If the expectation is not bad, Boss Qu should also be rushing here, why not wait for a while, wait for him to come, and go together?" ”

Mrs. Qu was also very concerned about Zuo Shaoyang's medical examination, when Zuo Shaoyang participated in the medical examination on a cold day, and Mrs. Qu personally accompanied Zuo Gui's father at the gate of the Gongyuan Academy. He also knew about it, and he must have sent someone to investigate.

Sure enough, after a while, the old lady and the old lady Qu came to Zuo's house in a carriage, and the courtyard was even more lively. It's all congratulatory voices.

While Mrs. Qu was happy, she also regretted that her granddaughter could not become the daughter-in-law of the Zuo family, otherwise, she would be an official wife in the future. Although she is a concubine, she may not be able to marry a noble wife, if Zuo Shaoyang has a smooth career in the future, he will become a high-ranking official, and he will be crowned a wife and a son, and the concubine who has made special contributions to her husband and children can also be rewarded, and Mrs. Qu is still very confident in her granddaughter's ability in this regard.

When everyone arrived, two more rental carriages were called at the door, and several families divided into several carriages and came to the front of the Jinbang of the Ministry of Officials.

There have already been a sea of people here, crying and laughing into a pot of porridge, crying more than laughing, and naturally there are more people who fall off the list than they do. There are those who burst into tears, those who howl and cry, those who beat their chests and feet, and those who faint on the spot. If it weren't for the soldiers next to him to maintain order, I was afraid that it would be even more chaotic.

The tribute examination is divided into six subjects, and like the state examination, there are the most people in the three subjects of Xiucai, Mingjing and Jinshi, while there are not too many subjects such as Ming Calculation and Medical Examination. However, Zuo Gui's father still worked hard for them to squeeze to the top of the gold list of medical examinations.

"Senior brother!" One person grabbed Zuo Shaoyang's arm and shook it, looking very excited, it was Zuo Shaoyang's junior brother Wu Shu.

Wu Shu grinned happily and said, "Hit!" We've both hit! You're Tanhua, I'm the tail, hehe, they're all hit! ”

Zuo Shaoyang hurriedly looked up, on the goose-yellow silk list, there were ten people who were doctors, the first three were written with gold powder, and the third place was Zuo Shaoyang! And Wu Shu, who asked someone to catch the pen, ranked last.

Wu Shu grinned and said: "The Zhen brothers were convicted and imprisoned, I thought that this time the medical examination must be in vain, I didn't expect the emperor to appoint meritocracy, and he didn't push the sins of the Zhen brothers to me and other tributes, but let me pass the first, haha, it's really the emperor's grace!" With that, he bowed his hands in the direction of Miyagi.

Zuo Shaoyang naturally didn't know the twists and turns of his origins, what he cared about now was who was listed in front of him, and when he looked up, the first champion was called "Qu Ming", and the second place was called "Qiu Yiju".

These two people are not such people, they can be ahead of themselves, and I don't know if they are here. Just as he was looking left and right, a young man walked over like a star holding the moon, this young man had a fat head and big ears, a smile on his face, and arched his hand towards Zuo Shaoyang: "This must be the young brother of Tanhualang Shaoyang, right?" Little brother Qu Ming. ”

When Zuo Shaoyang heard this, it turned out that this fat man was the champion of the doctor's examination, so he looked up and down in surprise, and arched his hand: "It turned out to be Brother Qu Nian, fortunately!" ”

Qu Ming laughed, stretched out his hand and patted Zuo Shaoyang's shoulder: "Come on, junior brother will introduce you to Qiu Yiju, the young brother who is on the list!" - Brother Qiu Nian, come here, let's meet in Sandingjia! ”

Sanding A is the collective name of the champion, Bangyan and Tanhua.

Not far away, I saw an old man staggering over, about fifty or sixty years old, with a gray beard, a little hunched back, wearing an old cloth and blue shirt, strolling over and smiling.

That Qu Ming smiled and said: "Brother Zuo Nian, this old brother is Brother Qiu Nian, who is the first pot of Qiu Nian." Brother Qiu Nian, this talent is Brother Zuo Shaoyang of Tanhua. In the future, we will be officials in the same dynasty, so we will be so close. ”
