When he came to the gate of the city, he saw his seven brothers at the gate of the city from afar. The carriage drove over, and Zheng Lang said in the car:

"Ladies and gentlemen, go to Soshiro's house and say."

At this time, the city was full of crowns, and even at the gate of the city there were a few young Confucian students wearing square scarves and shirts. Seeing themselves, without the big stone monument as a cover, these students will inevitably surround themselves and make a cold noise. Is it so necessary?

Although he is bored at home and studying, it is impossible for Zheng Lang not to know about the external situation.

When he came to Zeng's house, he first met Zeng Shilang's parents and grandmother, and sang hello one by one, and the Zeng family politely led him to the back garden. Seven brothers, none of the family situation is poor, if it is about income, Zheng Lang's family can only occupy the middle and bottom in the middle. Without this money, the seven brothers can't afford it.

So Zheng Lang disagrees that they should focus on books, just know a few words, don't read them as nerds, but hurt them. With such a family business, if you don't want to be an official, wouldn't you be equally happy if you become a happy landlord or a big businessman in the future?

But at this time, people thought differently, just like treating all the sons and hundreds of schools, except for Confucianism, all of them were overthrown. Zheng Lang quoted scriptures on formal occasions, and he didn't dare to use the classic words of other families. Or Confucianism, Confucius was born in the relatively cowardly Lu country, and there is a certain situation in considering the problem, but which one dares to say?

I don't dare to say if I know!

A very elegant and quiet small garden, which is planted with some flowers, as well as large clusters of chrysanthemums, scattered in the four corners of the courtyard, at this time is blooming vigorously, a little cool early autumn wind blows, the fragrance hits people. The other flowers did not bloom, or had long since fallen away, but the graceful figure swayed in the breeze, and the green shadows swayed, filling the small garden with a kind of elegance out of thin air.

Behind it is a mountain rock, covered with green moss, the mountain rock is thin and auspicious. Behind the mountain rocks are two red tile and blue brick huts, which are not big, but in such an environment, there is another meaning of tranquility. And the original design was also very ingenious, deliberately hiding the room behind the mountain rocks, which made Zheng Lang think of a poem, the winding path leads to the secluded place, and the Zen room is deep with flowers and trees.

Zeng Shilang said: "This is the embroidery pavilion before my sister left the pavilion. ”

No wonder, Zheng Lang looked back at his great-father with a grateful look in his eyes.

Great-father just smiled, stretched out his hand and said, "Please." "Take it to the second daughter's room, this is the world of young people, and the great-father left.

Jiang Xing'er and Si'er were still looking around, the little master was staying, and the room had to be cleaned and tidyed, but after looking at it for a long time, they couldn't find a trace of dust. After glancing at each other, the two girls were a little ashamed, they were still too far behind the Zeng family.

Can this be compared?

The Zeng family regarded Zheng Lang as a distinguished guest, and the most important backer of his son in the future, not only let his daughter embroider the pavilion out, but also the furniture in the room, to the silk quilt, to the desk, which one is bad? There is almost no modern equipment such as air conditioning and color TV, otherwise the layout of the five-star hotel will not be like this.

If you clean up like this every day, Xing'er and Si'er won't be exhausted to death?

The seventh brother sat down, and Wu Saburo said, "Brother Lang, you have some trouble this time. ”

"Why?"

"I've heard a lot of news in the past few days, and a few very talented people have come. One is a former martial arts student, named Zhang Yiyang, who has been bright since childhood, is eighteen years old this year, and it is also his first time participating in the imperial examination. One is a student of Rongyang, your clansman, named Zheng Weining, I heard that he is also very talented. , one is the young man in charge of the city named Sun Gu, who is also a genius. There is also Xinzheng prodigy Lu Hui, who heard that he can recite poetry at the age of seven. Xinzheng also has a student, even more terrible, called Tang Shuo, this person eight years ago after the list, hard work, who knew that their parents died, so for them to keep filial piety, this guard is several years, almost closed, but occasionally friends travel, called him only learned Hengji is the present......"

Past and Present? Zheng Lang almost burst out laughing.

I'm afraid that after seven years of hard study, I have a little talent, but this is a peerless ...... Immediately, there were many people in the Song Dynasty who were peerless, but it was definitely not this Tang Shuo.

However, there was one person who attracted his attention, the future important minister Sun Gu, not necessarily Bi Sun Gu, I am not sure, but that is, many celebrities were not admitted to the Jinshi at one time. The imperial examination has the way of the imperial examination, and the official has the official way, two different things.

But Wu Saburo is kind, if it weren't for himself, he wouldn't bother to inquire about the situation of these students.

Easily replied, "They are them, and I am me." ”

"These people go out of the mountain together, Brother Lang, it's more difficult for you."

"Why? Can't you pass a single move? "Even if they're bullish, so what? There are still many places in the back, although the number of people who have solved the test this time is almost two or three times that of previous years, Zheng Lang doesn't believe that he can actually fall off the list.

This self-confidence comes not only from my own hard reading, but also from the poems of the students I saw in the poetry club.

I haven't worried about the exam, what I'm worried about is the provincial exam, like this is how many years there has been no provincial exam, there may be tens of thousands of students to participate in the provincial exam, and only a few hundred people are admitted, and this probability is between a few hundred and three percent at most. Imagine how many states there were in the Northern Song Dynasty, and most of them were five or six hundred, and only about 100 people. Even if there are more, a state capital can only share a more than one Jinshi quota, and a few states can only apportionment a quota.

There are not only new moves, but also old movers who have been backlogged for several years and are more experienced in combat, and the battle is as tragic as you can imagine. is to understand the yuan, go to the province to try the tribute, the probability is also small.

However, Wu Saburo didn't think so, and said in surprise: "Brother Lang, don't you want to solve the yuan?" ”

"Zhong Xie Yuan? So easy? ”

"If you don't win the exam, what are you doing here?" Cen Dashao said thoughtlessly.

Jiang Xing'er and Si'er nodded desperately, Cen Dashao usually doesn't study well, only this sentence is very correct.

"Can you not talk about this......" Zheng Lang choked on his face with a black sweat.

"Third Brother Wu, don't say it, Brother Lang will be distracted if you say it." The Wei family is three young people.

Among the seven brothers, Zheng Lang is the most optimistic about Wei Sanlang, as he has grown up in the past two years, he has become very heavy, and his work has become more and more decent. It's just not good, the block is getting bigger and bigger, and it looks like a gate god from a distance. It's just that the status of the military generals in the Song Dynasty is too low, otherwise Zheng Lang would like to recommend him to learn martial arts.

With just one sentence, Wu Saburo automatically shut up.

Zhu Shaoxing mentioned another thing and said: "Brother Lang, it's strange that Gao Yanei actually went back to Zhengzhou City and ransomed Lou Yan. ”

"Huh?" Zheng Lang was also surprised and asked, "How much did it cost?" ”

"I heard it's two thousand dollars."

Zheng Lang was silent for a while, he also did wrong in this matter, and he did it wrong from beginning to end. Originally, I wrote the apology from the bottom of my heart, and praised her appearance by the way. Even Luo Chongxun and Liu Zhizhou at that time thought that Zheng Lang was helping Lou Yan.

But it's all wrong. This era has been peaceful for a long time, and the literary style is prosperous, some people with status have a face and reputation, and an apology letter makes Lou Yan more popular, but this limelight is not a good limelight, Zheng Lang has made such a humble gesture for a record, even if there is a mistake, there is no mistake, and in turn, he thinks that Lou Yan's behavior is too harsh. With this label, Lou Yan can have any good business, and he will fall dry. Even at this time, the status has fallen a lot.

I don't know where Gao Yanei's money came from, it may be given by his family, it may be that Lou Yan paid it upside down by himself, and I don't know why Gao Yanei went back to Zhengzhou to redeem Lou Yan, probably Lou Yan wrote a letter asking for help, or something else. After being silent for a while, he said: "That's good, the party is not a place for a long time, finding a good family is the long-term solution......"

That being said, the ending of the two may not be happy. Now Lou Yan is very beautiful, when he is old and decrepit, will Gao Yanei's surname be cherished?

However, the previous grievance between Zheng Lang and Lou Yan was completely ended with Lou Yan...... Zheng Lang lives in Zeng's house, and some people still know.

It happened that the little emperor's gift arrived, and the officials of Zhengzhou were very envious for a while, and came to Zeng's house together.

Great-father looked at so many officials in amazement, almost all of them came. Knowing that he was visiting Zheng Lang, he couldn't make a big scene, and he was still very weird in his heart. was also slightly dissatisfied, and said: "Kochishu, this is not ...... Good. ”

Even if you are a good person, you are still a tight governor, so it's too flattering. Even my great-father couldn't stand it.

"Zeng Dalang, you don't know." Kochishu smiled bitterly, took out the scroll and box, placed it on the table, and whispered what had happened. As for several officials who are ready to open the back door, and even afraid that Zheng Lang will not be able to find the road through the back door, they are ready to hang a hundred lanterns to guide Zheng Lang, that can't be said.

"Phew!" Great-father was not much better, and cold air was in his mouth.

"Zeng Dalang, do you know why you did this?"

"Yes, yes," the great-father muttered.

"The Zheng family Xiaolang lives in your house, and it is also an opportunity for you......" did not say it later, which means that Zeng is a big man, treat it well, and be the little ancestor for it.

Great-father took all the officials to the inner house, and after Zheng Lang heard about it, he had to come out to greet him. Although the attitude doesn't matter, people are always the parents of Zhengzhou, and they are not qualified to be neglected.

Kochishu said what he intended to do, and then handed the letter written by Zhao Zhen to Zheng Lang.

Zheng Lang was slightly in a daze, and muttered, "Your Majesty is benevolent......"

The benevolence he said is not that the little emperor is benevolent to him, but he will be benevolent to all the courtiers in the world in the future, including the generals! Otherwise, Di Qing would not have been promoted as a privy envoy. However, in the end, it also succumbed to the huge and deformed Song Dynasty system, and in the mutual attack of the speech officials, the Song Dynasty missed the best opportunity to rise.

How did Kochizhou know that he was thinking so far, thinking that Zheng Lang was moved, and said: "Zheng Xiaolang, you must do well in the exam this time, so as to live up to Your Majesty's expectations." ”

No, it is to live up to their expectations, if the exam is miserable, it is to open the back door, and it is not very easy to get. And the emperor is like this, the top five can't be good, you must get the top three. Alas, this is a very worried person.

Zheng Lang smiled bitterly in his heart, whether it was because of the matter of the three sons of the Eight Great Princes, the little emperor was like this to himself, did he really want to completely plunge into the rolling red dust, fight wits and tactics with Lu Yijian, Xia Zhu and others, and then compete with Han Li and fight with Ouyang Xiu, Bao Zheng and others? No, there are two other gods! One king, one Sima...... With Su Dongpo's talent, he can't do it!

After talking for a while, Kochizhou and the others left, and it was the most important thing to let Zheng Jiazi study hard. In fact, the truth is not what they think...... The deviation is too far.

It is possible that the little emperor also cares about how many Zheng Lang will take the exam at this time, but it is not the main thing, his eyes, his heart, are all on fire. After pondering for a long time, I quietly rolled up my sleeves and made a decision in my heart, and I made it!

Although I am reluctant, I am helpless.

So the little emperor's first adventure in his life made people laugh and cry!
