In the sound of music, Xu Yuanzuo walked in front with his head held high, which made him feel a little high-spirited. Especially this time, Zheng Yue admitted a full hundred people, which is really vast and impressive.

Originally, the place where the county magistrate accepted the gratitude and gratitude of the new Confucian students was in the second hall, but because there were too many people this time, it was placed in the lobby. Even so, not everyone can get in, the top thirty can finally be squeezed into the hall, Xu Yuanzuo thanked Zheng Yue for his promotion and cultivation and teachings on behalf of everyone, and the others could only line up outside the hall, vaguely knowing what was going on.

Zheng Yue was still wearing official clothes to show his attention, and in the face of the children who were all gathered together, he said loudly: "All the gentlemen are all seeds of reading, and they have only passed the first level, so they must not be arrogant." Originally, I was going to invite you to the banquet, but in the spring ploughing season, there are too many chores in this county, so let's just do it. In the future, the title of your B list will have a deer banquet; If you win the tribute, you will have a feast of honor; The title of the gold list also has the Qionglin banquet. There will always be no less. ”

Xu Yuanzuo scolded the teacher for being thrifty to the point of being stingy, and he didn't even invite him to eat. The beings below were already laughing. Hearing this laughter, he realized that this was a joke with the characteristics of the Ming Dynasty, although he had not been able to capture the joke, but he also managed to put on a smile of "Teacher, you are so humorous".

When Zheng Yue saw Xu Yuanzuo, his heart was really like being scratched by a cat. How could he have forsaken the feast? Anyway, these people are resources for the future! As long as one of them is a jinshi, he has not been in vain in the past three years of the county order. Even if there are a few two lifters, it is a big capital in the future!

In this case, spend some money to buy some vegetables and cut some meat, and everyone drinks a glass of thin wine, how affordable!

However, today Zheng Yue can't do it.

Because, there is no money.

The Luming Banquet, the Rong'en Banquet, and the Qionglin Banquet are all regulated and funded court activities. Prefectural exam. Even the teacher appreciation banquet after the prefectural examination is a private gathering of examiners and candidates.

This money cannot be taken into public accounts, and can only be paid out of one's own pocket.

Of course, there must be magistrates who try their best to reimburse them, but that is someone's hidden skill, and Zheng Yue can't do it at all!

As for Xu Yuanzuo's twenty taels of silver before the exam, he honored his teacher...... Zheng Yue had a headache when he thought about it.

He first took out ten taels and used them to repair the ditch. Promote spring ploughing. Although for the local large households who donated together, these ten taels of silver can only be regarded as throwing bricks and stones, and everyone has donated generously under the leadership of the magistrate, but for Zheng Yue, half of the unexpected income is gone.

Then, there is the handmaid sent by the Kang family and the handmaid of the handmaid.

This servant girl is impeccable from her appearance to her figure. He can also write poetry and paint, and he has a lot of skills. Especially a small mouth is very good at pleasing people. That night, Zheng Yue was dizzy and fell into the gentle township.

The only problem is that it's too good at spending money.

After this servant girl was pampered, she saw this in the backyard of the yamen to be replaced, and saw that one had to be repaired, and the place she walked from morning to night was very unsatisfactory. Or you want to buy household goods, or you have to take care of the furnishings, and most of the treasury is a spit out.

Zheng Yue is a flowing official - a flowing official, what is the use of the county government repaired? Do you spend your own money to make your successor happy? What's more, all roads in the Ming Dynasty have patrol royal history. Their favorite article is the official "luxury", if there is a place where the yamen is better than the palace. It is to provide them with material to make a fuss.

It's hateful to be hateful because he obviously has a good idea, but for some reason he was hooked away by the beauty in a few words, and he accepted it inexplicably. I feel distressed afterwards, but I can't break my word and get fat.

The great handmaidens are like this, and the handmaidens of the two handmaidens are also not fuel-efficient lamps, but they are not very obvious under her light.

Zheng Yue asked Li Wenming to distribute the printed copy of Xu Yuanzuo's volume, the head of the case. He also said: "The examination paper of Xu Jun, the head of the county case, is quite impressive, and you can think about it." ”

This is natural, and the articles that Jinshi revised by himself can definitely be used as a model text.

Because Xu Yuanzuo is only responsible for reciting, there is no sense of accomplishment at this time. Just quietly waiting for a passing scene.

"Teacher Rongbing." Someone in the crowd suddenly made an inopportune noise.

Xu Yuanzuo looked back and saw that it was the "one-word mustache" that he thought was quite sensible before.

"Student Duan Xingxue wants to ask for a few copies of Cheng Mo from Xu Jun." As soon as Duan Xingxue said this, the children around him avoided two steps one after another, making him stand out

Zheng Yue's face sank, but he didn't speak. Li Wenming pouted at Xu Yuanzuonu and motioned for him to come out and relieve the siege by himself. Now that people don't believe that this is something written by Xu Yuanzuo himself, the subject does not come out, and the teacher is charging forward, which is really obvious.

"Is Brother Duan suspecting that he has memorized Cheng Wen?" Xu Yuanzuo turned around and said. The children around him also got out of the way. Especially the child between the two, there is a passage for the two to look at each other.

Duan Xingxue spoke clearly, and said: "The question from the teacher is not cold, and it is a big topic, and it is not uncommon to do it before." ”

Xu Yuanzuo was about to speak, but Duan Xingxue said quickly: "Not to mention the county exam, even the government exam, the hospital exam, and even the township exam and the meeting exam, it is common for candidates to write Cheng Wen silently when there are old questions." Of course, there is no obstacle in taking it, but it is just a little disappointing to take it at the head of the case. ”

In the Ming Dynasty, there was no hard and fast rule that exam questions could not be repeated, unless the examiner was particularly serious, and he would not be disgraced when he encountered a student handing in the essay of his predecessors - he could memorize it by chance, or he worked hard to memorize it enough; Or there is a god in the underworld, so that he can collide with this, which shows that he accumulates good deeds and virtues on weekdays.

Of course, even if this kind of candidate passes, it is still hanging on the tip of the tail, which can be regarded as a consolation prize. If you take the first place, it means that the teacher has read too little, which makes people confused.

Duan Xingxue naturally didn't know about the insider deal between Xu Yuanzuo and Zheng Yue, even if he speculated about the two masters and apprentices with the greatest malice, he couldn't imagine that Zheng Yue would leak the exam questions and personally handle such a despicable thing. So he suspected that Zheng Yue had inadvertently hinted, and Xu Yuanzuo followed the hint to memorize a certain range of Cheng Wen, so he asked him to bump into it.

If there is a search engine, it is natural to look it up, but in this day and age, if you want to find one from the vast library of articles...... Duan Xingxue didn't have to continue to take the next exam.

"Hehehe," Xu Yuanzuo laughed and organized his language, "If you think like this, I will give you a hundred and ten articles, and you can be said to be someone else's Cheng Wen." ”

Duan Xingxue said: "If you can come up with a hundred and ten famous Cheng essays and I have never seen any of them, I will be convinced!" ”

- What a madness! Brother memorizes hundreds of Jinshi Bagu texts after Wanli in minutes, and you have to beat your face into pumpkin pie!

Xu Yuanzuo gritted his teeth slightly, and secretly hated in his heart: It's a pity that he didn't carry so much in his previous life. (To be continued......)
