The yamen of the county guard.

The little official welcomed the top three of the Xiucai Section into the flower hall.

"The three sons are waiting, and the lady is taking care of official business. After a while, he will find time to meet with the three sons. ”

"Thank you!"

When the three of them met, they were very red-eyed.

The three of them were distinct and looked at each other.

He Ji wanted to be close to Ling Cui and the two sons, but looking at the other party's attitude, he was a little uneasy for a while.

So, wisely, he didn't speak first.

Cui Xiucheng looked at He Ji from top to bottom, smiling, "Presumably you are He Jihe's son, born in the He family of Dongyang County." ”

He Ji hurriedly surrendered his hand, "You, it must be Cui Gongzi, this must be Ling Gongzi, the top of the list." I was fortunate to meet the two sons here today. ”

"You're welcome! Xiucaike, you can press me, it seems that you have real skills. It's better for us to compete again. ”

Cui Xiucheng directly issued a war letter.

"This ......" He Ji was obviously a little hesitant, but his heart was actually eager to try.

If he can defeat Cui Xiucheng in public, his reputation will definitely be able to rise to the next level.

is the so-called stepping on the shoulders of the predecessors to achieve their own reputation, the other party took the initiative to send the opportunity to the door, how can it be pushed back.

But......

Don't appear too eager to mislead people into thinking he's a competitive person.

Therefore, he pretended to hesitate and looked embarrassed.

Cui Xiucheng seemed to smile, "Is there anything difficult about Gongzi He?" You can be in front of me, and you must have real talent to learn. Or is it a fluke that you take the second exam this time. ”

As soon as the words fell, He Ji's face showed an unwilling expression of being humiliated.

He gritted his teeth and said, "Since Gongzi Cui doesn't dislike me for being rude, please confirm the time, and I will definitely go to the appointment at that time." ”

"Good! Readily! The time was set for three days later, Matsuyama Academy. Let the students of the college witness together. ”

"Very good!"

He Ji had a serious look on his face, and even showed dissatisfaction.

But my heart was overjoyed.

In front of the students of Songshan Academy, if he wins, his reputation will definitely spread throughout the three counties, and then all over the world.

Ling Changan took the paper fan and slapped it on the palm of his hand a few times.

He leaned into Cui Xiucheng's ear and whispered: "The other party is obviously using you to brush up your fame, beware of capsizing in the gutter." ”

Cui Xiucheng also lowered his voice, "Don't be afraid of him!" The He family in Dongyang County has never been good at studying, so I don't believe it, I can't overthrow him. I'm going to make a big fool of him. ”

"Don't be underestimated! I checked his test papers, and I had a solid foundation, well-founded and well-founded theories. I sent someone to check his details, and since he was a child, he has followed the elders in his family to the north and south, which can be described as a wide range of knowledge. It's not necessarily worse than you and me. ”

"Brother Ling, this is to increase the prestige of others and destroy his own ambition, it is inappropriate."

"I'm just reminding you, don't be careless."

The two sons whispered, the flower hall was so big, there were always one or two words that fell into He Ji's ears.

But he always kept smiling and pretended not to hear anything.

Ling Changan suddenly spoke, "Gongzi He came to participate in the imperial examination, did he get the support of the elders in the family?" ”

He Ji was very surprised, he didn't expect Ling Changan to take the initiative to talk to him.

He nodded with a smile, "Naturally, I have the support of the elders in the family." ”

Ling Changan seemed to smile, "As far as I know, the situation in Dongyang County is a little tense. Many families are not very satisfied with some of Mrs. Yan's initiatives, and they keep making small moves in private. He Gongzi will participate in the imperial examination, if it is spread to Dongyang County, will it attract attacks from other families? Seen as a betrayal? ”

He Ji was unhurried and retorted loudly, "This is a bad statement! Our He family has never been loyal to anyone before this, so how can we betray it. Good birds choose trees to perch, and our He family just took a right path. ”

Quite tellable.

Ling Changan smiled, "Gongzi He's words are reasonable, and Gongzi is also worried about it in vain." Since your parents supported you in participating in the imperial examination, you are ready to deal with all kinds of consequences. I wish you a bright future! ”

He Ji suddenly looked a little at a loss, and he hurriedly returned the salute, "Chengling Gongzi Jiyan." I'm all lucky, and I don't dare to compare with the two sons. ”

"You are too modest! If you can beat Xiu Cheng in the imperial examination, you are qualified to be on a par with us. Gai Ming'er, let us see your true knowledge, so that the world can know the name of the He family in Dongyang County. ”

He Ji was excited and a little nervous.

He's afraid of capsizing!

In case of capsizing, his second place in the imperial examination will have to be greatly discounted, and he will even be suspected of falsifying his ranking.

All in all, this is a contest that must be risked on the future of reputation.

What will happen if Choi Xiucheng loses?

Not how!

Cui Xiucheng's talent is not only available today, nor is it only this year.

It has accumulated over the years and has been recognized by the bigwigs in the literary world.

In addition, the Cui family is a top family in the world, and a small loss will not have the slightest impact on his future.

Therefore, He Ji is very nervous.

Cui Xiucheng is very calm.

At this time, the little official walked into the flower hall.

"Madame invited the three sons to the signing room to talk about things."

"Please lead the way."

The three of them followed the little official and went to the signing room.

People in the signing room are coming in and out, but fortunately, it has been busy to the end.

The little official motioned for the three sons to go in, "Madame is inside, the three sons go in!" ”

The three of them entered the signing room.

"I've seen Madame!"

"Greetings to Madame!"

Yan Yunge looked at the three of them, all of them were Junjie.

She smiled and said, "Sit down and talk!" The three of you, you all know each other. Do you need Mrs. Ben to introduce you? ”

"I've already known each other. I don't know why Madame called us? Ling Changan was the first to ask.

Yan Yunge tapped lightly on the table, "That's right, the original plan was to hold the Autumn Festival this autumn." However, because the situation has changed. This autumn's autumn festival will be canceled and changed to next year. Spring will also be postponed for another year.

You are the first students to know about this news. I asked you to come here just to ask you if you came to the yamen to work on an errand and prepare for next year's exam. Or go back to the academy and concentrate on studying.

Mrs. Ben has high hopes for all three of you, and the yamen is in dire need of all kinds of talents, and perhaps you can study while you are on an errand, and you will still be able to come out on top in next year's autumn. ”

He Ji was silent, he wanted to hear the decision of Ling Cui and the two sons first.

Ling Changan stepped forward, "May I ask Madam, why did you postpone the autumn season?" ”

Yan Yunge pondered for a while, "Sooner or later, you will all know, and Mrs. Ben will not hide it from you." The students of the two counties missed this year's Xiucai Sciennia and are quite regrettable.

Therefore, the two counties will organize Xiucai Ke to take scholars one after another, and the time may last until autumn. As a result, the students of the two counties will definitely not be able to catch up with this year's autumn.

Therefore, the autumn season can only be postponed until next year. Next year, it's not just a few of you who take the exam, and the number of people will increase several times. Still, I have great faith in you. ”

Ling Changan immediately got up and arched his hand, "Congratulations, Mrs. Hexi." The opening of the imperial examination in the two counties means that the hearts of the people in the two counties have been gathered. Madame not only occupies the territory, but also occupies the hearts of the people, which is gratifying. ”

Yan Yunge said with a smile: "It's too early to talk about winning the hearts of the people in the two counties. But Mrs. Ben would love to hear that. How about studying while working on an errand to prepare for next year's autumn season? If she feels that her energy is limited, Mrs. Ben is not reluctant. After all, the imperial examination is more important, and you can be an official at any time. ”

Ling Cui and the two exchanged glances with each other.

Ling Changan said: "Although Brother Cui and I have barely solid knowledge, there are many talents in the world, and we dare not be careless. Ignoring your opponent will often lead to mischief.

However, Madame kindly invited, and we can't ignore the good and bad.

Brother Cui and I are willing to drive for our wife and work until the end of the year. By next year, I will go back to the academy to concentrate on my studies and prepare for the autumn season! ”

"Very good!"

Yan Yunge was greatly satisfied.

The knowledge and ability of Ling Cui's two sons, she has seen it and has high hopes.

If you can cultivate these two people and use them for your own use, haha...... What a blessing.

She was very happy, and looked at He Ji again, "Gongzi He has thought about whether to go to the academy to concentrate on studying, or to study while on errands." Just like Ling Cui and the others, they worked until the end of the year, and they had the right to be an experience. In the future, you will officially become a leader, and the experience of these few months will definitely be of great help to you. ”

He Ji was a little flustered and nervous.

He weighed the pros and cons again and again, weighed and weighed, and finally said, "Thank you, Madame, for your kindness!" My foundation is not solid enough, and I dare not slack off for a day. I still want to go back to the academy and concentrate on studying. Wait until the title of the gold list in the future, and then drive the lady. ”

"Alright! Mrs. Ben respects your ideas. It's good to concentrate on your studies! ”

Although there were some regrets, Yan Yunge did not force the other party.

Ling Cui and the others looked at He Ji frequently, their eyes intriguing.

He Ji didn't accept the invitation, he looked at each other, like an old monk in the house, without any external interference.

……

On the same day, Ling Cui and the others stayed in the yamen on business, starting with copying documents.

This is a trivial and heavy workload.

Fortunately, the two sons have been learning calligraphy since they were children, and it is not a problem to write for two or three hours in a row.

As for He Ji, after talking about business, he was sent out of the yamen of the county guard's mansion.

Ling Cui and the two copied documents while chatting and gossiping.

"Brother Ling, that He Ji rejected Mrs. Yan's solicitation, do you think he lacks confidence, or does he disdain to be an errand boy in the yamen?"

Ling Changan smiled, "Nine times out of ten, it's because of lack of confidence, and I can't take care of my studies and yamen errands at the same time." If he is like us, studying while working on an errand, he may not be on the list in next year's Spring Festival, and it will be a big shame! ”

"How can Brother Ling see that he lacks confidence, instead of disdainful of being a minor official in the yamen?"

"Why did they send him to participate in the imperial examination? Isn't it just to hand over the name to Mrs. Yan. finally had the opportunity to brush his face in front of Mrs. Yan every day, but he actually gave up, didn't he feel strange? Therefore, I guessed that he refused Mrs. Yan's solicitation because his knowledge was not solid enough and his confidence was insufficient. In the competition three days later, Brother Cui will definitely be able to overwhelm him. ”
