"You mean last on the list? Oh, some impressions of him. At the beginning, there were several candidates, and the level was basically about the same, and finally a Xiucai surnamed Xu was chosen. ”

Yan Yunge drank tea and said lightly.

Xiao Yat did not interfere in the imperial examination.

In the county guard's office, the various departments have a clear division of labor, do not interfere with each other, and do not subordinate to each other.

If there is a dispute, go to the county keeper Yan Yunge and apply for a ruling.

Xiao Yat was in charge of armaments, and the school inspector was not under his control, so he didn't know the inside story.

He asked curiously, "He doesn't look very smart, why did you choose him?" What's so special about it? ”

Yan Yunge thought about it carefully, "If you want to say that there are any outstanding points, first, the handwriting is neat and the writing is quite beautiful. The second is that he is slightly more brilliant than several other people, and he is barely logical. ”

"So you ordered him to be the last on the list?"

"That's right! Someone is at the top of the list, and someone is at the bottom. ”

"Who's at the top of the list?" Yat was curious.

He hadn't asked that question before today.

This will be lively, and curiosity will be aroused.

The people below are noisy and noisy, and if they are not particularly excited and roaring, it is not easy to attract the attention of others.

It's really because ......

Basically everybody was excited and yelling.

Yan Yunge sold a pass, "You can guess." ”

Xiao Yi immediately said: "No accident, it should be one of Ling Cui's two." The two of them have real materials, and they have been training in the yamen for many months, and they have also escorted grain and grass, and they are not pedantic sons who only read books and ignore things outside the window. Your strategy is not difficult for them. ”

Yan Yunge took a sip of tea, "The strategy is not to stump anyone, but to select qualified talents. As long as you are good enough, regardless of your background, you can become the top of the list. ”

"Haha...... Sure enough, it was one of Ling Cui's two, and it was estimated that Ling Changan had a better chance, but Cui Xiucheng still lost. ”

"Why can't it be Cui Xiucheng, or He Ji?" Yan Yunge seemed to be smiling.

Xiao Yi pondered her smile for a moment, "Cui Xiucheng has a family history, but he seems to be more active, and his observation is not as good as Ling Changan's. Your strategy is a test of the accumulation of knowledge, but also of vision and foresight. In this regard, Ling Changan should be more outstanding. ”

She smiled and didn't say anything, just waiting for someone to shout to unveil the list.

Yan Jiujin's child was lying by the window, staring at the excited crowd below.

The sound of my parents' conversation rings in my ears.

Vaguely, he seemed to have something obvious, and it seemed that he didn't understand anything, just to watch the excitement.

Yan Yunge touched his head, "Is it good-looking?" ”

Yan Jiujin thought for a while before saying, "It's very good-looking, compete for fame." This is what Mr. said about reading to become a talent! ”

Oops......

She was a little surprised, "Did you think of it?" ”

Yan Jiujin's child nodded, "My son also has to study hard and make a name for himself." ”

"Ambitious! If the ambition is a little bigger, we will make people who determine their fame, and we will not be people who will test their fame. ”

A small head can't digest this sentence.

He scratched his head, looking confused.

I only memorized two words, one is to determine the merit name, and the other is to test the merit name.

There was a knocking sound in the corridor, which showed how anxious the people who went upstairs were!

Soon, there was movement in the private room next door.

Cui Xiucheng saw the little girl going upstairs and hurriedly asked, "Do you see it clearly?" Who is at the top of the list? ”

"Congratulations to Gongzi Ling, congratulations to Gongzi Ling, Gongzi is the top of the list."

The little guy spoke auspicious words.

Ling Changan smiled with satisfaction, "As I expected, look at the reward!" ”

"Xie Gongzi's reward."

"Where's your son-in-law? How does it rank? Ling Changan asked.

The little guy smiled happily, "My son-in-law is below Ling's son-in-law, and he is second." ”

"Hahaha......"

Ling Cui and the others laughed in unison.

Bang!

Cui Xiucheng slammed his fist on the table.

"It can be regarded as revenge for the day."

Xiucaike was pressed by He Ji, and he always regarded this matter as the biggest shame in his life.

Before the start of the lifting department, he was determined to be ashamed.

Deliberately pulled Ling Changan to buy mock packages, all kinds of imperial examination packages, and studied carefully.

For this imperial examination, he has worked hard and prepared enough.

He worked so hard and worked hard like never before, if he couldn't suppress He Ji, he would really be faceless.

Today I finally got what I wanted, and I raised my eyebrows.

Ling Changan asked the little guy again, "Who is the third?" ”

Xiao Wu said an unfamiliar name, from a county under the rule of Bo County, the first in this year's Xiucai Branch.

The two of them ranked first and second on the list, and their mood was particularly comfortable.

Cui Xiucheng immediately asked the little maid Penglai to book a banquet, and he wanted to feast the guests to celebrate.

Penglaike, very close to the Royal Women's College, is a garden-style restaurant.

The interior environment is extremely quiet, high-grade and stylish.

It is the best choice for entertaining guests and showing financial resources.

Binh Duong County lacks everything, that is, there is no shortage of rich people.

Therefore, Penglaike's business is very popular all year round.

If I go late, I'm afraid I won't be able to set a good yard.

Thereupon......

Cui Xiucheng urged the little guy, "Go quickly, go quickly." Be sure to book a feast. It's okay to double the price. ”

The little servant received the order and hurried downstairs.

Downstairs, some people laughed and jumped, some cried, some were dumbfounded, and some simply hit the wall......

All sorts of things, and so on.

Yang Mu is one of them.

Not surprisingly, he was admitted to the lifting of people, but his ranking was not very good, far inferior to the scenery of Xiucaike.

He stood on the side of the road in a daze, his head confused.

He thought that with his own level, he could enter the top ten no matter what.

As a result, he didn't even enter the top 20, and was added to 27.

The ranking is not good or bad.

There were more than 200 scholars, twenty-seven, which was an unattainable rank for many people.

But......

For Yang Mu, who prides himself on being smart and has never missed the exam, he can't accept this ranking.

It sucks!

It was so rotten that his heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys were in pain.

His stunned appearance aroused Xiao Yi's idea.

"That person, take a bet, will he cry? It seems that he didn't get in. ”

Yan Yunge followed his gaze, and some images flashed through his mind.

"It looks familiar, I seem to have seen it."

"Have you seen it? I'm sure it's the first time I've seen this guy. Look at the way he gritted his teeth, does he think that it is unfair? Not convinced? If you don't have good knowledge and can't pass the exam, you can't rely on others. ”

He picked up Yan Jiujin again, "Don't learn from those people who drill the horns of the bull, we want to be people with big bellies who can take a boat." ”

Yan Yunge seemed to complain, exposing the true face of his little chicken belly.

I don't know who loves to hold grudges, and he will revenge......

Xiao Yat bared his teeth at her.

He is educating his son not to be held back.

It was precisely because she was educating her son that she did not speak out to expose the truth.

Let him be a good father with the ability to be reasonable, and satisfy the temperament of a good teacher.

Yan Jiujin's child lowered his head and looked at his little watermelon belly, can he take a boat here?

Is there water in the belly?

He suddenly said, "Will my belly leak?" ”

The husband and wife were stunned for a moment, and then laughed.

Yan Yunge couldn't help laughing, and said to Xiao Yi: "You explain clearly to Jiujin, what is called a big belly can take a boat, don't mislead him." ”

"Wrap it up on me."

Xiao Yat is indispensable, he wants to be a good father and teacher with patience.

Until, Yan Jiujin's countless children finally broke him.

I can't stand it!

Children or something, it's really the most annoying.

There are so many whys.

This slap in the face speed, snap bang......

……

At the end of the imperial examination, the new recruits went to the county guard mansion in batches.

Every time someone is raised, Yan Yunge has to recognize it and remember their faces.

Match their test papers with the person number.

Now that the territory is small and there are few people, she can naturally do this.

In the future, when the territory continues to expand and there are more people participating in the imperial examination, she will definitely not have the time and energy to do so.

So......

At present, this group of people, do a good job, no accident, will inevitably be reused, and soon someone will stand out.

Yang Mu, who was commented by Xiao Yi as gritting his teeth and not convinced, Yan Yunge saw it.

I was curious when I found out that he was on the list and his ranking was not bad.

When we met, I casually asked him, "Are you dissatisfied with yourself?" ”

Yang Mu was stunned, first nodded, and then shook his head.

"The students are very satisfied!"

"If you feel inadequate, keep trying! You don't have to worry about a momentary victory. ”

"Thank you, Madame, for the point."

His face flushed, looking very excited, but his heart was turning over the river.

If it doesn't work, it won't work, he just minds!

He just wasn't convinced.

Looking at the anger flashing in his eyes, Yan Yunge smiled and didn't pay too much attention.

This is the first batch of lifters, and next spring, they will participate in the Spring Festival and work hard for the fame of Jinshi.

……

Xu Chongzhi was at the pier to bid farewell to Wang Xiucai.

I originally booked two ferry tickets and agreed to go back to my hometown together.

Who would have thought that there would be an unexpected surprise.

"I wish Brother Xu the title of the gold list next year, don't forget your brother when you are developed."

"Brother Chengwang's auspicious words! After Brother Wang settles down, remember to write to me. Until next year, I will always be renting where I live now. ”

"Okay! Brother Xu has to come on! ”

The two waved goodbye, and this parting is two completely different destinies.

……

Days and four years, only the last few dozen days are left, and soon it will be a new year.

This year, the weather has been unusual.

Spring and summer are dry, autumn is not over, the temperature plummets, and the cold people shiver when they enter winter overnight.

Before the coldest winter wax moon, the thick cotton jacket was already worn on the body, shivering and shaking.

"It's been cold this year!"

You have to wear two more pieces than in previous years to keep out the cold.

The weather is strange, and there will be disasters.

The Pingyang County Guard Office ordered all local yamen to prepare for disaster prevention and relief.

The dilapidated house should be reinforced in time to prevent the heavy snow from falling and the house collapsing and killing people.

For this winter, busy.

News suddenly came from Beiliang's side that Liu Baoshun was injured, seriously injured, and in danger.

"Message, right?"

Yan Yunge was surprised.

Liu Baoshun was injured and in danger.

Xiao Yi glanced at the news and said firmly: "There must be a ghost hall in this." Liu Baoshun is cunning and cunning, and if he was suddenly injured, there must be a hidden secret. ”

Yan Yunge laughed, "It seems that Liu Baoshun launched a counterattack against Xue Guifei!" ”
