When Lin Yanxian received the news that he had become the chief examiner of Enke, he couldn't help but sigh, he really had his back against the big tree to enjoy the shade!

He decided that he must hold on to the emperor's golden thighs!

Xie Yun and Zhu Hong, who were in the same mansion, were equally depressed.

They are not only scolding Chen Chuan's face comparable to the city wall, but also scolding Li Yumei for losing his bearing.

Even they are still conspiring, thinking that Li Yu is selling Lin Yanxian's good, and they want to take the opportunity to fall to the emperor.

But whether you scold or rejoice, the result is set and cannot be changed.

The two lists of Qiankun have been combined into one, and the news that the number of jinshi has increased to 300 has spread all over the Great Zhou.

And the news that Lin Yanxian is the chief examiner also began to flow out.

Some people spend a lot of money on the books that Lin Yanxian once wrote, or reading notes, and want to understand the examiner from them and see what kind of style the examiner likes.

There are also people who are inquiring about Lin Yanxian's experience as an official, and they want to pick up some clues from it.

It's a pity that Lin Yanxian has been worried for many years, and the big and small officials of the imperial court have deliberately erased the traces of Lin Yanxian's existence. So there is only a lot of information that can be found.

……

Gangneung Fortress.

After Meng Ning got the news that the two rankings were merged into one, the first thing she did was to give Deng Jin, the first place in Yuanshan Academy, a war letter.

She has wanted to compete with Deng Jin for a long time, but she has never had a suitable opportunity.

There are also those who have repeatedly failed to pass the test, and when they heard that there were more places this year, they all felt that they had hope, and they forgot the oath they had made, "If you don't win this time, you won't take the test again".

There are also students who feel that this Enke is very meaningful, perhaps the beginning of a great change in the imperial court, they gave up the original plan to study hard for another three years, and planned to give it a go in this Enke.

Gangneung has a strong literary atmosphere, and there are many academies, which is also the reason why Gangneung has sent many talents to the imperial court.

There is a seowon in Gangneung called Wonsan.

Ye Yin, the head of the academy, used to be a female official in the central government, and she couldn't get used to the officialdom's exclusion of female officials, and she also realized that she might be the one who would be excluded from the court in the future, but fortunately she simply took the initiative to resign.

After returning to his hometown, Ye Yin wrote a letter to several colleagues who had been excluded from the imperial court, inviting them to teach in Jiangling, and thus established the Yuanshan Academy.

Ye Yin and the teachers recruited by the academy have a lot of grievances against the imperial court, other academies are talking about the good governance that the imperial court has implemented this year, and the remote mountain academy is different, and the distant mountain academy picks on the shortcomings of the imperial court to talk about.

Yuanshan Academy is an alternative, not in line with the mainstream, and the students who can be summoned are basically poor students. That's right, Yeshan's family has a big business, and the subsidies for poor students are very powerful, and there are other rewards for the top ten in the monthly exam, so it is particularly attractive to poor students.

Mountain Chief Ye Yin has also come into contact with many good seedlings who are reading, but it is precisely because of the more contact she has made up her mind to accept apprentices. She just felt that none of these seedlings could really touch her. Her friend also wrote to joke that she was always waiting for a better one.

Ye Yin also felt that what her friend said made sense, but she just didn't want to accept apprentices. It wasn't until Ye Yin met Deng Jin that Ye Yin felt when she first met Deng Jin that her apprentice should be like Deng Jin. This is probably the edge of the eye. Some people just need to take a look.

Ye Yin met Deng Jin at a cloth shop at the time, and she felt that Deng Jin, a child, had a transparent and courageous body, a sweet mouth, and could understand people's hearts. Originally, some people just came to take a look and didn't really plan to buy it, but Deng Jin can always find the point that impresses the buyer the most, so that he has the desire to buy cloth.

She could see that Deng Jin sold much more cloth than others.

I still remember that she asked Deng Jin at that time, "What's your name?" Why did you come out to sell cloth at such a young age? Have you read a book? ”

Deng Jin was very smart, and she could see at a glance that Lin Yin had a good impression of her. Her first thought was to find a potential customer.

Deng Jin set himself up as a little pitiful.

"My name is Deng Jin, because Aya is seriously ill and needs silver to heal the disease, so I came out to buy cloth." It's no wonder that it's true that she Aya is seriously ill, and it's also true that she made money to buy decoction and medicine to treat her Aye, but that's not all.

"As for reading, I've taught me a little, but not much, that is, I know a few words." How could she, Aye, teach her to read? One of his favorite sentences on his lips is that the woman who was mentioned in the previous dynasty was virtuous. She knows how to read, but she learned it all by stealing.

Deng Jin said that she has created an image of a filial daughter, which will make it easier for her potential customers in front of her to sympathize with him.

In fact, she is not a filial daughter, her Aya is not only not a loving father, but also a bastard!

Her grandmother was the daughter of a merchant, and her grandfather thought that she was talented, so he married her to Aya and gave a lot of dowry as an investment.

But she Aya used A-Niang's dowry to study, but she was not grateful, and she was unhappy because A-Niang's firstborn gave birth to a daughter, and let her eldest mother (grandmother) bully her A-Niang. This daughter who made her aunt suffer is herself.

All her colorful memories are about A-Niang.

After the death of her eldest mother, her mother's life was better. And when her aunt was pregnant again, and the doctor said that her aunt was pregnant with a boy, her aunt lived the most comfortable life since she got married.

A-Niang had a difficult birth during childbirth, and the midwife asked whether to keep the big or the small. She cried and begged him to save her mother, but he chose to keep her little after being silent.

In the end, A-Niang died in childbirth, and the son she Aya wanted was gone, because A-Niang was pregnant with a younger sister!

Later, she Aya wanted to marry a bride, but before she could hear the letter from the official media, he contracted a cold and became seriously ill.

Deng Jin felt that God had eyes, and he killed A-Niang! She was looking forward to the man's death, but she had to make money to buy a decoction and hang on to the man's life.

The minimum age for a female household is to be sixteen, and if you make a little money, you can start a household at sixteen, but she is only thirteen. She has to hang her Aya's life, and now he is not even qualified to die, and his greatest value now is to survive until she is old enough to die, and by the way, she will brush up on her reputation as a filial daughter.

Sure enough, as Deng Jin expected, the middle-aged woman with a bookish atmosphere in front of her showed sympathy on her face.

Then Deng Jin timidly probed: "Can this sister buy a piece of cloth?" I think this bamboo blue horse is especially suitable for my sister! My sister is a reader......"

Deng Jin is the best at seeing people's eyes, according to her experience in buying cloth, no matter how old the woman who buys cloth is, she will call her sister, and the chance of success in selling cloth will be at least 10%.

In the end, Ye Yin was confused, so she took a bamboo-colored cloth home.

Ye Yin is not a stupid person, naturally she understands that she was fooled by a little girl, but she is more interested in the little girl Deng Jin. The desire to receive disciples is even stronger.

Ye Yin went to talk to Deng Jin every once in a while, and every time she and Deng Jin chatted, she would take a piece of cloth home.

In the end, she succeeded in gaining Deng Jin's trust and became Deng Jin's master.

From Deng Jin's point of view, she was suspicious of the olive branch thrown by Ye Yin at first, although she didn't have anything worthy of this gentleman's greed, but she still didn't hesitate to speculate on the darkest side.

In the end, Lin Yin still used her sincerity to impress Deng Jin. Lin Yin gave her the feeling of being like her mother, and Lin Yin was the second person to bring her colorful memories. And after Lin Yin took her as an apprentice, she really regarded her as a daughter.

Deng Jin did not live up to Lin Yin's expectations, she was indeed talented in reading, in the year when she was officially promoted, that is, when she was in the middle school, she spent five years walking the road that other ordinary students need to walk for more than ten years.

Deng Jin can feel that her master has always been uneasy, so when Lu Cheng ascended the throne, she didn't persuade her master to return to the court, she felt that the empress needed her own people.

But in the end, Ye Yin didn't go back, she couldn't let go of Deng Jin, and she couldn't let go of Yuanshan Academy. In fact, Ye Yin thought about it later, such a relaxed day is not bad! After Deng Jin gave her a ladder, she completely let go.

The combination of the two lists this time really made Ye Yin excited, and the hardships she had to walk in the court at that time were not only because she was stubborn, but also because of the court's long-term implicit consensus, Kunbang Jinshi was worse than Qianbang Jinshi.

Now it's a good time for her apprentice! The two lists are one, compete fairly and justly, and the Jinshi list after the merger is very golden!

Ye Yin talked to her apprentice alone for this reason.

"Fanse (Deng Jin's words), the opportunity for the two lists to be one is rare, you are luckier than the teacher! I don't know if I can resist the pressure today and continue the two lists in one. Don't miss the opportunity, you don't have to wait another three years, this time Enke should give it a go! ”

"No." Deng Jin's eyes were eager to try. She had long wanted to try it, but the master was afraid that she would fall into the same jinshi and would suppress her for a few years. I heard that there are many talented people in Kyoto, including Xue Qian, who is known as having read all the books of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Zhao Pu, who became famous at a young age, and Meng Ning in Jiangling.

It's fun to compare with geniuses! This list will be a gathering of geniuses, and there will be a surge! How could she Deng Jin miss it!

In the border city of Ningyuan, Yue Feng, who was well-versed in military books, packed his bags.

In Lugong Prefecture, Ban Yi, who was particularly gifted with improving tools and had a family history, decided to travel west to Kyoto.

Song Jie, a well-known case-solving wizard in Jinyang County, also decided to test the water in Enke.

There are also some Kunke people who were delayed in the later period of Zhanghe because Emperor Zhanghe (Lu Cheng's father) was seriously ill and stopped running Kunke.

Countless people are heading for Kyoto. No matter what kind of reputation everyone has in the local area, but in the end, this test is a decisive battle, and if you succeed, you will go to the peak of the imperial examination, and if you lose, you will be paid for another three years. Whoever has enjoyed some of the convenience brought by reading and some high-profile eyes, who can be willing to stop at lifting people? Even if thousands of troops cross the single-plank bridge, they have to fight, compete for the title of the gold list, and praise the street Kyoto!
