After nightfall, everything is silent, and in a slightly dilapidated old house in Lin'an, far from the city center, a man in a new scholarly robe is saying goodbye to a group of friends who are celebrating him, smiling and looking very festive.

This is also a matter of course, after all, this is the residence of the person who topped the list of this government examination, so don't look at this house is leaky and ugly, in the eyes of those children of the family, it is simply inferior to the toilet, but since the time since the list, there has been an endless stream of people who have come to visit.

All of a sudden, the four-walled house was full of people who had rushed up to make friends with him, and the gifts they gave hung all over the walls, and the room was even a little overwhelmed.

Whether it's fish or food, like books, calligraphy and paintings, the value is also good, if you can take it out and sell it, I'm afraid you can become a small asset in an instant!

This is the charm of the imperial examination!

Although I have to study hard for more than ten years, once I have achieved something, I will immediately become famous all over the world, and I no longer have to worry about enduring such a poor life.

Even though Zhu Erdan still lives in this hut, no one will look down on him because of this, and even think that this person is a poor student, but a real talent, and even more that this person has a bright future!

At this time, one of the guests pretended to joke when he left: "Brother Zhu, it is said that the prefect is also very fond of you, and it will not be long before you can soar!" ”

The other person also said, half flattering, half echoing: "Yes! This time the prefectural examination is the first, and in the future, the township examination and other exams will also be able to achieve results, and when the time comes, there will be the appreciation of the prefect, just a little raise your hand to make a big difference! Presumably, the status of the status at that time will not be comparable to that of ordinary people like us! ”

"At that time, maybe we will have to rely on Brother Zhu to enjoy a bite of food!"

"Hey, don't talk nonsense about this matter, there is no fixed number yet!" Zhu Erdan raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, and then pretended to be mysterious and said with a smile, "Although the prefect does value me a lot, he only values me after all. But since all of you regard me as a confidant today, if there is anything that can help me in the future, just say so! ”

"Yes, yes!"

"Let's not disturb Brother Zhu's good deeds!"

Everyone else had a look of "I understand, I understand", joking and laughing as they left.

Zhu Erdan stood outside the door and looked at their departing figures, and after a long time he restrained his smile, looked up at the sky, noticed that the bright moon in the sky was obscured by dark clouds, frowned slightly, and then secretly shook his head and turned back to the house.

As soon as he entered the house, he saw the gift boxes carefully wrapped in brocade piled up all over the ground, sneered disdainfully, bent down and picked up a small jade bracelet in the box, put it in his hand and looked at it twice, and the disdain in his eyebrows and eyes was even worse.

"It's all worthless stuff...... Even if you don't give up the capital of these good payments, what else can you do? ”

"But it's all those who took the initiative to make friends with the powerful people who took the initiative to get acquainted with the top of my government exam, do you really think that I will be as stupid as before, and I will be grateful to them because of a little favor?"

He put the jade bracelet on the table and turned around to make a pot of tea for himself, in order to eliminate some of the drunkenness that he had drunk with the guests before, the corners of his mouth were upturned, and there was a smug look on his face, muttering to himself.

"Just wait for the matter of the Wen family to be resolved at that time, and marry the daughter of the prefect, what glory and wealth will be there at that time? Do you still need to care about these little things? ”

"What's more, after changing this heart, I may not be able to go further on the road to the imperial examination, and maybe the prefect may not be the end at that time."

It was only at this moment that a sudden pain in his chest was like an antworm bite, which made him instantly pale, covered his chest hard, and even slipped off the chair, lying on the ground and convulsed several times, as if the fish that had jumped ashore was facing the pain of suffocation.

After a long time, the pain was relieved, and his expression eased a little, but his forehead was already covered with cold sweat, and there was no blood at all.

"Damn ......"

He staggered up from the ground, and his eyes showed cruelty: "Why is this heart still unstable......

After this period of time, he will be so miserable every day, and sometimes it is possible to do it two or three times a day, and regardless of time and place, he almost made a fool of himself on the street several times!

And if this scene is seen by the prefect, I'm afraid that I will have to reconsider the matter of marrying my daughter to him! After all, not everyone wants their son-in-law to be a sick man who doesn't know when he will die.

"At least be careful during this time......"

"The moon hasn't come out today, it seems that Brother Lu won't come over today. Otherwise, maybe you can beg Brother Lu to help you think of a way, if you can alleviate it, it would be good......"

He looked at the sky outside the window again, but there was still no moon coming out, and he could only sigh with some regret.

In fact, there is another easier way, and that is to change the original heart back. But he was naturally unwilling, and he didn't think about this idea from the beginning.

"It's better to live now! I don't want to go back to the hard life I used to have, relying on Miss Wen's pitiful charity! ”

Thinking of this, his body and mind were already very tired after today's day's events, so he only rested a little and then turned off the lights and went to bed to rest, and after a while, he was already asleep, naturally not knowing that there was another person in the room looking at him.

Du Bai, who exuded a faint golden light outside his soul, stood quietly looking at Zhu Erdan, who was snoring on the bed, but his expression was a little solemn.

"Sure enough, it's similar to what I guessed, someone helped this guy change his heart."

With a movement of his fingertips, he untied the man's clothes out of thin air, and his chest was exposed in front of him, and the most striking thing was the slender scar on his chest, which was extremely hidden, if it weren't for his excellent five senses, I am afraid that he would not have noticed.

It is said that the change in this person's heart was only a period of time before the government test, and the wound had already healed like this.

"The craftsmanship of this surgery should have been impossible in ancient times. Unless a special spell is used, this level can be achieved. ”

Du Bai stretched out his hand and pressed it down his chest, but it did not touch his skin and flesh, but penetrated directly into the vicinity of his heart, and he could clearly feel the powerful beating of his heart and blood vessels.

"Sure enough, it's the heart of the know-how!"
