Wan Lin and Wan Zhang met An Yushu by chance in front of the governor's yamen.

At this time, the identities of the three people all changed, but An Yushu didn't take the two of them in his eyes, and the two of them walked into the door with their nostrils turned white.

Wan Zhang said angrily: "He's sick, right?" Before we could say glaring at him, he rolled his eyes at the two of us! ”

Wan Lin shook his head helplessly and patted Wan Zhang's shoulder, "Forget it, we adults don't care about villains, why bother to be like patients?" ”

"Hahaha." Wan Chang couldn't help but laugh.

"Oh, isn't this Wan Xie Yuan and Wan Jingkui?"

At this time, someone came over and greeted Wan Lin and Wan Zhang very respectfully.

Both of them also returned the salute very politely and walked into the governor's yamen together.

Qin Tingshi had already dealt with the previous affairs, thoroughly investigated the secret activities of the Xue family's father, son and brothers, and Ni Lili's inn, and finally came back on the first day of the township test.

Because of the suddenness of the incident, the people who had been protecting Xue County's order could not protect them.

A state capital in the Chen Dynasty set up a governor and a governor, the governor mainly dealt with government affairs, and the assassin mainly played the role of supervision.

The assassin can also go to the counties and villages below the state capital at any time to inspect the words, deeds and achievements of officials.

The governor of this state is surnamed Xie, and he is a relatively mediocre official, although his political achievements are not outstanding, there is nothing wrong with him, and he can cooperate with Qin Tingshi.

Wan Lin was very happy about Xie Yuan in the exam, and the county seat where he served before passed the exam with three lifters, which also made his face very colorful.

He had long been optimistic about Wan Lin, thinking that he would most likely be able to win, but he didn't expect Wan Lin to be much better than he imagined.

Qin Tingshi knew that although Wan Lin had been rewarded by the emperor, and this time he was in the middle of the Yuan, but his morale was high, and he would not stop the scientific examination and go home to wait for officials, so he stopped here.

Therefore, Qin Tingshi did not plan to consider Wan Lin as an alternate official, but just took this opportunity to catch up with Wan Lin.

In this township test, Anhe County, where Wan Lin and others are located, became famous, because in such a small border town, three people were tested at one time.

Wan Lin is naturally in the limelight, but Wan Zhang is also thick eyebrows and big eyes, with a good temperament, he is only slightly inferior when he stands with Wan Lin, and he is much more outstanding than other people when he takes it out alone.

An Yushu's facial features are slightly soft, and he looks steady and sven, and he is not in vain.

Qin Tingshi and Governor Xie sat side by side on the upper seat, and the other officials sat on either side.

In order to better observe the character and behavior of the 20 lifters, they were specially asked to face the officials and sit according to their ranks, with ten people in each row, divided into two rows.

Governor Xie went over their names one by one, and matched the names of the people.

After finishing the roll call, Governor Xie first said a few polite words, and then Qin Tingshi began to speak.

"You are all new recruits this year, and all of you who can sit here are talented people. The saint Long's grace specially let the state capitals feast all of you to raise your sons, and be blessed. We don't need to be rigid about our identity today, we can drink as much as we want, and we don't have to be restrained. ”

Qin Tingshi's speech was simple and close to the people, and he still had a very modest smile on his face, which immediately made the lifters relax a lot.

After Qin Tingshi finished speaking, he raised his wine glass, and all the officials and lifters also raised their wine glasses and drank the first glass of wine in a joyful atmosphere.

After drinking the wine, Qin Tingshi didn't say anything more, and Governor Xie's gaze had already fallen on Wan Lin.

"Wan Jieyuan, this official has long heard that you are good at learning and smart, and when I see it today, Wan Jieyuan is really outstanding in appearance and extraordinary bearing! If you can see the face of heaven when you come to the palace examination, with the impression you left on the saint and your talents, the official asserts that you will definitely be able to ascend to the throne and show your ambitions! ”

Governor Xie praised Wan Lin's warm praise, which really made other people envious.

As long as Wan Lin Danfan shows a little bit of his intention to be an official now, it is estimated that with his current qualifications, he can be directly promoted to be a county magistrate.

Of course, it is impossible for everyone to cast envious glances at Wan Lin, and there are a few people who hide jealousy in their eyes.

An Yushu paid special attention to his words and deeds, and did not show the slightest jealousy.

After listening to Governor Xie's praise, Wan Lin immediately stood up and said humbly: "Thank you for your love, the younger generation should continue to study hard and live up to expectations." ”

Saying that, Wan Lin quickly looked around at the others, and his words became more humble, "The juniors are just lucky high schools this time, everyone here has amazing talents, and the juniors have to ask you more for advice." ”

Governor Xie saw that Wan Lin was not the slightest arrogant between his words and deeds, and finally knew that Qin Tingshi's previous appreciation of Wan Lin was not partial.

"Hehehe, Wan Jieyuan is too humble. It's not a stroke of luck that you've come out on top, I've heard that your exam papers will be graded as First Class no matter which examiner you get there. You deserve this Xie Yuan! ”

Governor Xie picked up his wine glass and said, "Come, Wan Jieyuan, this official wishes you a bright future and a thousand miles of prosperity!" ”

Wan Lin raised the wine glass very high, but his body fell to the ground as much as possible, and he felt that after Governor Xie finished drinking, he drank all the wine in the cup.

Governor Xie couldn't just praise Wan Lin alone, and then he and Qin Tingshi praised the rest of the moves.

Some people asked in great detail, and learned that some people were poor, and the travel expenses for this time were barely enough, so Qin Tingshi paid out of his own pocket, saying that he had paid for the travel expenses to enter Beijing to catch the exam.

Qin Tingshi took the lead, and other officials naturally responded, and they insisted on making a small fundraising meeting to make up the travel expenses for three students from poor families to enter Beijing.

Adults have this awareness, and these people have to behave well.

Some people just want to make a good impression on adults, so that they can lead an official, and this is the best time.

Wan Lin was not in the limelight, and donated five taels of silver in a decent manner, and some wanted to impress the adults, and the family background was not bad, and he donated dozens of taels of silver alone.

Qin Thorn Shi asked the scribe to write down everyone's name and the amount of money donated, and in the end, it was just to make up the travel expenses of three poor people, and he actually made up two hundred and seventy hundred taels of silver!

If all the money is used for the travel expenses, where is the entrance examination in Beijing, it is simply a vacation in Beijing!

Forty or fifty taels of silver is enough for a normal person to enter Beijing, so Qin Tingshi returned some of the silver of those who donated a lot of silver.

The three lifters who received the donation were very moved, and knelt down to thank Qin Tingshi and others, and then thanked all the lifters.

Wan Lin took the lead and quickly helped them up, and the atmosphere of the banquet instantly became friendly and warm.

I don't know if they will either be officials or retire in the future, or when they have disputes in the court because of different views, they will remember their help and support for each other when they were just promoted.

Wan Lin always pays attention to the edge of the edge, and does not show off his head, but he is the most humble of all his moves.

An Yushu did not let go of this opportunity to show it in front of all the adults, he originally gritted his teeth and donated forty taels of silver, but later returned ten taels.

An Yushu saw that he couldn't get out of the limelight, and he couldn't compare with others, so he deliberately dragged a few more words when toasting, wanting to attract the attention of Qin Tingshi and Governor Xie.

He really succeeded in attracting the attention of Governor Xie.

Governor Xie didn't pay much attention to his last move, but he borrowed Wan Lin's light, and saw that he was Wan Lin's classmate, and his appearance and demeanor were polite, although Governor Xie could see that he wanted to show himself, and he also expressed his understanding of his behavior.

After three rounds of drinking, Qin Tingshi and Governor Xie and others began to test the knowledge of the people.

Wan Lin still maintained a low-key and modest style, but every time he spoke, everyone could hear his accurate and thorough analysis of the problem from his seemingly unremarkable answers, and they could hear his erudition.

Compared with Wanlin's low-key, An Yushu is much more public.

He is very eloquent, and after he was in the county school, he was always able to fight the crowd whenever he was debating, and even Wan Lin was not his opponent.

This is what he is most proud of, and today also gave him a chance to show his eloquence.

However, An Yushu's eloquent talk can still make people feel that he has goods in his stomach, and that he has courage and wisdom, but after listening to it for a long time, he will feel that what he said seems empty compared to Wan Lin.

But seeing that he is only in his early twenties, he is ambitious and high-spirited, but he has not yet experienced the age, and it is normal for him to be vague in his words, and his newborn calf's energy that is not afraid of tigers is still very appreciated by adults.

After examining the knowledge, the next step is to examine the virtues of the lifters.

It is said that wine depends on character, and several adults have discussed it, let them drink more wine first, and see if there are any drunken drunkards.

And after drinking, as the truth is said, when they are almost drunk, they will be tested again.

Seeing that it was almost time, Qin Tingshi glanced at Governor Xie, and the officials walked to the table and began to drink and talk with them.

Not to mention, there are really people who are too drunk to stare at it, and some people actually dare to put their hands on Governor Xie's shoulders and call the governor brothers.

Governor Xie was so angry that he could only endure it for the time being, and immediately wrote down the person's name and appearance.

Unless he has the ability to win the title, it will be impossible for him to get a half-official position in the future.

An Yushu has a good amount of alcohol, he is a smart person, and he has seen the routines of these adults.

Now that the adults and the lifters had started to move, An Yushu also left his table and walked over to Wan Lin with a wine glass.

Qin Tingshi first came over and said a few words to Wan Lin, first congratulated him on his win, and then told him to guard against arrogance and rashness, and also probed Wan Lin's tone, and saw that Wan Lin was indeed what he thought, and he was determined to enter the office after the title of the gold list, Qin County Ling was very pleased.

In order to treat the lifters equally, Qin Thorn Shi did not stay in Wanlin for too long.

When An Yushu came over, Wan Lin was talking to other people.

An Yushu came to Wan Lin by himself, and smiled politely, "Brother Lin, you and I and Brother Zhang were all tested in a county school, and one county school won three moves, and it is also a good story to say!" Come, Brother Lin, I toast you and congratulate you on your high school solution! I also wish the three of us all the best sailing in the future and show our ambitions. ”
