Jing Wan'er slowly let go of Lin Jingjing's hand holding the pen, and watched Lin Jingjing finally finish writing a few words on the paper with difficulty, the font on the paper was twisted and crooked, but it made people look more sad.

Because what is written on it is clearly the three words "Fan Wenjun".

This morning, Lin Jingjing suddenly asked Jing Wan'er to teach her to write, and the tears in her eyes made Jing Wan'er unbearable.

It turns out that it is for this moment.

This woman, who had never read a book, worked so hard to write in ink in order to remember the name of her lover.

Lin Jingjing gritted her teeth and held back the tears in her eyes, Fan Wenjun is no longer alive, but she will remember his name for the rest of her life.

Jing Wan'er couldn't help but lower her eyes because she couldn't bear to look at it.

At this moment, there was the sound of footsteps in the secret door, and the two women looked up at the place where the sound came from, with different expressions. It's just that one face is still sad that can't be hidden, and the other face is faintly full of expectation.

Pei Tan's figure really appeared there, "My lord." Jing Wan'er shouted.

Pei Tan changed into his official uniform and put on his usual simple blue clothes, he walked to the desk and saw Lin Jingjing's writing.

Lin Jingjing seemed to be a little embarrassed at this time, lowered her head slightly and said, "Let the adults laugh." ”

Pei Tan looked at the crooked three words of Fan Wenjun on the paper, and there was a faint light in his eyes.

"It's well written," he said. ”

Jing Wan'er turned her head and glanced at Pei Tan, this person's inadvertent gentleness made him not look like an adult who was writing and judging cases, he was clearly high, and he could even see the pain of a humble woman like Lin Jingjing in his eyes.

Jing Wan'er lowered her eyes slightly, as if she was also avoiding something.

At this moment, outside the examination room, some people felt that they had done well in the exam, and walked away with their heads held high.

These poor children, in addition to being proud, are the true talents and practical learning that they are confident that they can overpower the children of the family. The ten-year cold window is for these three days.

The Yellow Gate Squire leisurely reported to the chief examiner, Zong Chuke, what happened in the early dynasty.

Because of their positions as examiners, Prime Minister Wei Xuanzhen and Zong Chuke, as well as the other two examiners, were specially exempted from the early dynasty by Zhongzong. After the big exam, there is the marking of the papers, and at this time, there is no examiner to supervise, so how can the fairness of so many examination papers be guaranteed.

The Huangmen squire said a little proudly about the early dynasty, Zong Chuke's face, but he was not happy, Zhongzong's partiality to Dali Temple and Pei Tan had long been seen in his eyes, before Pei Tan entered the palace to see that Zhongzong was blocked, but this time he appeared in the early dynasty, and the haze in Zong Chuke's heart was even heavier.

He looked coldly at the Huangmen squire who was trying to invite merit and said, "You have heard every word of what he said to His Majesty?" ”

The Huangmen squire smiled faintly: "I heard it, when Your Majesty reprimanded him, the Manchu Dynasty was full of civil and military forces, so Pei Tan lost face, Lord Shangshu, you can rest assured now." ”

As long as Pei Tan completely loses his heart to His Majesty, Zong Chuke's goal of revenge can be regarded as achieved.

But Zong Chuke was still pressing: "After that, Your Majesty didn't say anything?" ”

The Huangmen squire paused, and then said: "When he retreated from the court, His Majesty asked Pei Tan to stay alone in the main hall and ask a few words, about half a cup of tea time." ”

Half a cup of tea is not long, otherwise it would not have been possible to meet the officials who retreated from the dynasty when Pei talked about it.

Zong Chuke swept a gloom.

The Huangmen squire said, "Is Lord Shangshu too concerned? That Pei Tan Shao said that he was also guilty of dereliction of duty, and it was reasonable for His Majesty to be angry with him. ”

Zong Chuke stared at this person suspiciously, "People die quickly, all because they are too carried away." ”

The Huangmen squire's face stiffened, and the horse's fart slapped on the horse's leg, drawing a tiger not to become an anti-dog.

He dared to take a person like Pei Tan lightly, in the eyes of Zong Chuke, he didn't wonder he was so stupid.

When the examiner was marking, the people around him were cleared, and the civil servants who had been arranged to mark the papers in several rooms were scattered, and all the examination papers seemed to have the names of the candidates sealed, and no one knew who they were.

One of the examiners picked out an essay and slowly glanced at the person next to him.

The man took the exam paper, glanced at it, and nodded slowly to the examiner.

Just look at this man, he stretched out a dagger from his sleeve, cut it carefully along the line of the name of the examination paper, and threw the remaining name column on the bottom of his foot.

This brilliant essay exam paper was quickly picked up and taken away, and he left the room.

The man was silent, took the exam paper and walked to a nearby door and knocked on it.

The door was quickly opened, revealing the face of a young man, "Did you bring it?" ”

The man handed the exam paper in.

The little guy took it and quickly closed the door. The man folded his sleeves and stood outside the door waiting.

About half an hour later, the door was opened again, and the same little servant quietly handed a rolled-up piece of paper to the man outside the door.

By the way, a bag of bulging silver.

The man took away the exam papers and silver, just this exam paper, ranging from 30,000 taels of gold to 10,000 taels of silver, the real big color articles have been taken by the children of the names of the major families.

The man returned to the room where the papers were being marked and handed the new papers to the examiner.

The examiner unfolded it, and after a hurried glance, the pen and ink on the test paper had not yet dried, and the content was to rewrite the cut essay just now.

After a while, the examiner took the pen next to him and marked a "excellent" on the paper.

——

In Dali Temple, Pei Tan put Fan Wenjun's article on the table in a dignified manner, and the question of this big exam was harsh taxation.

"A copy of the country is for the people." These are the two sentences that begin this article.

As Pei Tan slowly thought out, Lin Jingjing on the other side said in a daze, "The people take food as the food, and I don't know what to expect..."

Pei Tan suddenly raised his head and stared at Lin Jingjing's pale face.

Jing Wan'er was surprised: "Miss Lin, you? ”

Pei Tan unconsciously crumpled a corner of the article, and he looked at Lin Jingjing, "This official remembers that you have never read a book?" ”

Just now, Lin Jingjing was still struggling to learn to write, and even the name of her beloved lover was also taught by Jing Wan'er to write it.

Lin Jingjing seemed to look at Pei Tan in amazement, and she said after a long time, "I've been listening to Fan Lang for a long time..."

For a long time... She was in his room, cleaning up the already narrow and damp inn room for him, but as long as she looked up at him and heard him reading aloud, Lin Jingjing felt that there was more light than her life like the walking dead in the fireworks building, and it finally shone on her.

But even this light was cruelly taken away.

The one who took it all away...

The tip of Lin Jingjing's lips was bitten and bleeding with hatred.

Pei Tan suddenly lifted Fan Wenjun's article on the table and left the table. He walked to the opposite side of Lin Jingjing.

Lin Jingjing looked at Pei Tan with some surprise.

Pei Tan squeezed the article's hand, slowly turned it behind him, stared at Lin Jingjing and asked, "Can you still recite the back?" ”

Lin Jingjing was a little surprised, Jing Wan'er's eyes turned slightly, and her instinct was sensitive to smell something unusual.

"All the people are allowed..."Lin Jingjing's trembling voice seemed to cry when recalling the past, "Heavy and heavy donations, there is no hiding for the strong people, and the weak people are also endowed, Ding Nan's household, collecting rent and two hundreds, three horses of silk and three catties of cotton per year..."

Pei Tan's hand holding the article behind his back became more and more wrinkled, until it was kneaded.

A long thousand-word article, which was recited by Lin Jingjing at all, Jing Wan'er's face was extremely surprised, Lin Jingjing not only recited fluently, but also pronounced round words, and the high and low tone was similar to the excitement of those readers when they endorsed the book!

Jing Wan'er couldn't help it: "Miss Lin, how did you do it?" ”

Teach her to write and still be able to copy the gourd drawing scoop, such a long text written in Chinese, and the words that are still obscure for literate people, how can Lin Jingjing memorize them exactly.

Jing Wan'er asked herself, she couldn't do it.

Lin Jingjing lowered her head and wept, and the sound of sobbing was heartbreaking. While reciting Airo's articles from his lifetime, maybe even the last one

, but I thought that I would never see this person again.

Pei Tan stood for a long time, and the article that was crumpled by him was like a hot ball of fire.

Lin Jingjing wiped away her tears before she raised her head to look at Pei Tan: "My lord, the little woman has finished reciting it, may I ask what the adults command?" ”

Pei Tan didn't know what he should do at all, after this article was searched from Wenxi Inn, he couldn't read it more than a dozen times, and he could completely remember every sentence on it, and it was really exactly the same as what Lin Jingjing recited.

Fan Wenjun's talent, ambition, and ambition are fully reflected in this article, as well as his indignation and sympathy for the people who suffer from exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes.

This article can be said to be a stroke of the pen with great guts. It is also very suitable for this exam, but if a candidate really writes this kind of article and sends it to the examiner, it is likely to be sentenced to a felony of treason.

A folk cloth dares to question the court, it is really impatient. Even if what he said was true, for the sake of the court's face, he would not admit that they were suspected of oppressing the people.

"When did Fan Wenjun write this article?" Pei Tan finally let go of his hand.

In fact, it has only been two months since Fan Wenjun entered Beijing to take the exam, and Lin Jingjing and him have known each other for not long.

If she can memorize this article in its entirety, there must be some opportunity in it.

Lin Jingjing forced herself to calm down: "Because during that time, Fan Lang has been locked in his room to write this article, sometimes writing and writing and throwing his pen angrily, I have never seen Fan Lang like that." ”

Lin Jingjing said that Fan Wenjun was gentle and elegant, but only half a month before his disappearance, he was suddenly irritable and unpredictable.

"And how did you memorize this article?" Pei Tan asked rhetorically, Lin Jingjing is indeed illiterate, even if Fan Wenjun has been writing in the house for half a month, Lin Jingjing should not know what these are at all.

But now she not only knew, but she could also recite them all very rarely
