The Gu family and Xiao Liulang first sent their three younger brothers to Tianxiang Academy and private school, and then the two went to the county government together.

Guozijian's enrollment documents have indeed been issued, and the quota has also come out, but it is not Xiao Liulang.

"How so?" Gu Jiao asked.

"This ......" The county magistrate looked embarrassed, looked at Xiao Liulang embarrassedly, and then looked at Gu Jiao, "The official doesn't know whether to say it or not." ”

"But it doesn't hurt for you to say it." Xiao Liulang said.

The county lord sighed.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that there is an inside story, since the county has held the children's test, there has never been a better student than Xiao Liulang, even if Xiao Liulang failed in the college examination, but his total score still ranks first in the county.

Besides, he is still a student of Tianxiang Academy, and the disciple of Dean Li unilaterally announced that he is clean and self-conscious, and his reputation is not stained, so he can't get a place.

The county master is also worried.

He was the first to write Xiao Liulang's name, but who let him-

"I really can't say, just let me go, I'm just a small county magistrate, and I can't afford to offend those nobles!"

"Who did you give the spot to?" Gu Jiao asked.

The county magistrate hesitated for a moment, but still said: "A candidate surnamed Feng is called Feng Lin." ”

Gu Jiao and Xiao Liulang's expressions were stunned.

"Which Feng Lin?" Gu Jiao frowned and said, "That Feng Lin from Tianxiang Academy?" ”

The county magistrate was taken aback and looked at the two of them: "Ah, yes! Do you know him? ”

Gu Jiao turned her head to Xiao Liulang beside her and said, "How many Feng Lin are there in your academy?" ”

"There's only one." Xiao Liulang said.

Gu Jiao muttered, "This is strange, how can Feng Lin's grades be ranked above you?" No, it's not a matter of grades. ”

Xiao Liulang said to the county order: "He is not local at all, he is from Song County, how can he get a local quota?" ”

"That's what I said, too, but ......" The county magistrate was halfway through his words, realizing that he was almost leaking, and hurriedly changed his words, "In short, I can't do anything about it!" Xiao Xiucai, Xiao Niangzi, you go back first. ”

The county master really feels sorry for Xiao Liulang, such a good seedling, but it's a pity that he didn't devote himself to a good family, otherwise how could his future be measurable?

"This matter should have nothing to do with Feng Lin." Xiao Liulang explained to Gu Jiao as he walked out.

"yes, I know." Gu Jiao nodded.

Neither of them is a person who loses his mind easily, maybe when others hear the news, their first reaction is to suspect Feng Lin, but both of them know Feng Lin's character, and he will not do anything to stab Xiao Liulang in the back.

And he couldn't do it, he didn't have any power background.

This matter is clearly aimed at Xiao Liulang, and the other party wants to use Feng Lin to suppress Xiao Liulang, and his heart can be punished!

Gu Jiao said: "Why don't we go to Fucheng and ask?" ”

"Oh, don't go! The documents were issued from the city! When the county magistrate heard that they were going to appeal, he was very worried that he would not be able to keep his black gauze hat, so he hurriedly chased him out and said, "To tell you the truth, that is a noble man in the capital, and you have not gone to the capital city!" ”

"What nobles in the capital?" There is only one nobleman in the capital who Gu Jiao knows who can't get along with Xiao Liulang.

"A marquis." The county master said that the person who came to deliver the documents accidentally said that he leaked his mouth, so he knew that it was the Hou Ye, but he couldn't tell which Hou Ye was really killed!

"Master Hou?" Gu Jiao muttered.

As soon as the words fell, a carriage stopped at the gate of the county office.

Gu Houye swaggered down, straightened his clothes refreshedly, and then his eyes fell on Gu Jiao and the little lame Xiao Liulang: "Yo? Is that you? Such a coincidence? It can't be that I heard about the enrollment of Guozijian, so I came to see if there is a place for myself, right? Oops, let Ben Hou guess, the quota is gone, right? Hahaha! Hahahaha! ”

Gu Houye crossed his waist and laughed.

"I need to talk to him." After Gu Jiao finished speaking to Xiao Liulang, she dragged Gu Hou Ye into the carriage.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Bang! Bang! Bang!

"Ahh

"Ahh

"Ahh

After a period of chaotic movement, Gu Houye collapsed in the corner of the carriage with a dead face.

Gu Jiao grabbed his collar and said coldly, "Change the quota for me!" ”

The county magistrate hurried back to the county office the moment he saw Gu Houye, and took out the brocade box sent by Gu Houye earlier, and when he took the brocade box to the carriage, Gu Houye had already been beaten beyond recognition.

He didn't want to directly let Gu Hou Ye lift the curtain, and said respectfully on the side: "Hou Ye, I'm afraid that your subordinates won't be able to do the things you let your subordinates do, and you are a step late." The number of prisoners in Guozijian has been set by others, so you should take your things back. ”

Gu Houye didn't have the strength to speak......

Gu Jiao paused, looked at Gu Houye, who was beaten into a sandbag by herself, and asked, "Isn't the matter of the quota that you are doing?" ”

Gu Houye was dying: "Uh...... Uh, uh? ”

I...... What the hell did you mess with?

Gu Jiao: Uh, I made a mistake.

Gu Jiao clapped her hands and got out of the carriage seriously.

Gu Houye originally planned to make trouble, but it was not that Xiao Liulang was not allowed to go to the Guozijian, on the contrary, he was asked to go. Because only if Xiao Liulang went, it was possible for Gu Jiao to follow him to the capital.

He asked Huang Zhong to give an order to the county magistrate overnight, and gave him a generous hush money to let the county magistrate leave the quota to him.

Just now he laughed at Xiao Liulang for not having a quota, but he was confident that the quota was already in his hands, although it was for Xiao Liulang, but it was not bad to let that girl beg him for two words!

What he didn't expect was that not long after Huang Zhong left, the order of another noble person also arrived, and the power of that marquis was even higher than that of Ding'an Hou.

The county lord can only live up to Ding'anhou.

Of course, he didn't say it, but he said that Ding'an Hou was late.

Gu Houye was aggrieved and looked at the sky, and today he was beaten for Mao again?

On the way back, Gu Jiao didn't ask Xiao Liulang, why did the marquis in the capital target him? Did he not go to the capital because of that marquis?

If he wanted to speak, he didn't have to ask.

If he doesn't want to say it, he will ask in vain.

Gu Jiao sent Xiao Liulang to Tianxiang Academy, and as soon as she left on her front foot, Xiao Liulang was stopped by a person.

Xiao Liulang turned around lightly: "It's you again?" ”

The middle-aged man bowed his hand to Xiao Liulang. With a smile on his face, he said: "It's been a long time, the young master still remembers Liu." ”

Xiao Liulang said with a cold expression: "The matter of the quota is your hands and feet?" ”

The middle-aged man smiled: "The young master refuses to go back to the house with us obediently, so we have to make a decision." Fat water doesn't flow into outsiders' fields, that Feng Gongzi is a friend of the young master, and it is better to be cheap than others. Of course, if the young master agrees to go back to my house with me, I can change the quota now. ”

Xiao Liulang didn't bother to pay attention to him, turned around and left.

The middle-aged man said meaningfully, "Young Master really doesn't want to go to Guozijian to study?" That's where all the people in the world want to go. And tomorrow will be handed over to the imperial court for registration, and the young master only has one night to think about it. Once the documents are sent out from the post station, there is no way to recover the documents even if the Hou Ye personally goes out. ”

Xiao Liulang paused: "I said, I am not a member of the Xiao family, and I don't know you." I won't go back to the Xiao family with you, you died of this heart as soon as possible. ”

The middle-aged man sighed: "Alas, why bother? If you don't take a good road, you have to go to the single-plank bridge, young master, this is unwise. ”

Xiao Liulang said: "Let me go back, write my name and Feng Lin's name together!" ”

"The young master laughed, I worked hard to get this quota." If Guozijian was so easy to enter, there would not be so many candidates squeezing their heads.

Xiao Liulang glanced back at him: "Isn't there still a township test?" Since you are so powerful, it is better to directly change my score to the first, and I will be the Xie Yuan, and I can enter the Guozijian without local recommendation. ”

Xie Yuan from all over the country is directly admitted to the Guozijian, which is the rule of Zhaoguo.

The middle-aged man smiled: "We can't intervene in the township test, there is only this one place, I advise the young master not to waste the time in vain." I finally reminded the young master that as soon as tomorrow morning passes, there will be no room for turnaround. ”

"In that case, you can't put your hands in the countryside to try." Xiao Liulang coldly hooked the corners of his lips and walked away disdainfully.

Steward Liu was a little confused, he touched his chin and gasped, did he miss something?

In September, the results of the township examination came out, and the post station quickly whipped up the newly released B list to all places.

The county magistrate got up before dawn, he didn't wait at the yamen, but went directly to the post station, and the moment he got the second list, his hands trembled.

He couldn't wait to open it, and saw five words written in eye-catching large characters in the first column on the far right - Xie Yuan, Xiao Liulang!

The county magistrate cried on the spot, sat on the ground and hugged his head and cried: "Woo woo woo...... Woowoo woo ......"

The catchers on the side were frightened: "County master, you, you...... What's wrong with you? ”

The county magistrate burst into tears: "I'm so happy...... The county under my rule...... Finally came out with a solution! ”

The first place in the township examination is not so easy to get, and there are many local solutions in the provincial capital, after all, the family background and teachers of the candidates in the provincial capital are placed there.

The reason why so many people come to Tianxiang Academy to study is because Tianxiang Academy is the academy with the strongest faculty outside the provincial academy.

There are a total of fifty people on the second list this time, and ten of them are candidates from Tianxiang Academy, which is an incomparably terrifying ratio.

It's just that these 10 lifters may not all be local students.

Feng Lin and Lin Chengye were also raised.

Feng Lin is ranked seventeenth, and he is a student of Song County.

Lin Chengye is ranked forty-five, and he is a member of the provincial capital.

The county magistrate counted them, and there was only one student in the local middle school, Xiao Liulang.

One is one, people are Xie Yuan, one top ten!

No rebuttal accepted!

Catch quickly scratched his head and said: "Actually, Xiao Xiucai ...... Uh, no, it's time to call Xie Yuan now, Xiao Xie Yuan settled his household registration in our county because he married the Gu family girl. ”

Otherwise, he's a foreigner!

County Master: "......"

County Master: "I don't care, I don't care!" He's registered here! He is the first Xie Yuan to come out during his tenure! ”

The county magistrate personally came to Xiao Liulang to report the good news, and the whole village knew that Xiao Liulang had become the master of the people, and he was still the first Xie Yuan.

"Is my Dashun high school in high school?" Zhou ran to Gu Jiao's house excitedly to ask the county master.

The county magistrate glanced at her lightly: "I don't care about Dashun's name." ”

"Why not?" Zhou didn't believe it, "Xiao Liulang has passed the test, why didn't my family Dashun win?" ”

The county magistrate said: "I don't like to hear what you say, Xiao Jieyuan is worse than your family?" ”

In Zhou's impression, Gu Dashun has always been the best, Xiao Liulang is lame and poor, even if he is admitted to the academy, he has been the first to the bottom several times, if this kind of person can be promoted, why can't Dashun be successful?

"Are you mistaken?" Zhou turned his head and saw Xiao Liulang coming back from the academy, and hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Liulang! You and the eldest aunt said that Dashun was also lifted! ”

Xiao Liulang said to Zhou: "I didn't see Gu Dashun when I tried in my hometown. ”

A bolt from the blue –

The family sold the dowry of the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and made up a total of twenty taels of silver, and asked Gu Changhai to take Gu Dashun to the township for a trial, but who knew that people would cheat out all the silver halfway.

Zhou fainted on the spot and was carried back to his home by the villagers.

Xiao Jingkong came out of the private school, and when he heard Gu Xiaoshun say that his bad brother-in-law took the first exam, he expressed his disbelief and firmly thought that others had seen it wrong!

"That's right." Gu Xiaoshun scratched his head, "The whole academy is in a sensation. ”

Little Clearance insists that seeing is believing.

Gu Xiaoshun had no choice but to take him and Gu Yan to the county office.

He was very small and had a high list, and he looked up at it for a long time, and then said, "I want to read the official documents of the Yamen!" ”

The catchers were dumbfounded: Little doll, do you still know Kumon?

Knowing that he was Xiao Jieyuan's younger brother, the master of the yamen really took out the official document and showed it to him.

The little clear boy carefully looked at it three times, and made sure that it was not a forgery, and he was sure that there was no mistake, so he nodded with a serious face: "It is indeed the first place in the test."
