One day, Ran Yiyi and An Ran had nothing to do, so they disguised themselves as men, turned into the appearance of a pretty boy, and drank "tea" on the Wufu Tea House for fun. While snorting melon seeds, the two listened to the "great gods" boasting about the grand events that had happened in Beijing recently. Undoubtedly, the imperial examination is the focus of everyone's after-dinner conversation.

"I didn't expect the college entrance examination to be about to take again."

"Hey, 'college entrance examination'...... What is it? ”

"Eh, I accidentally said the wrong thing. It's your 'imperial examination' here! ”

"yes. The autumn season has come to an end everywhere. Next is the spring examination and the palace examination. ”

Ran Yiyi pointed to the hurried scholars outside the window, oh no, it was the candidates, and said with emotion: "Hmm...... It is said that this ancient imperial examination is 'a single-plank bridge crowded by thousands of troops'. Today, it seems that what is said is true. ”

"I can't help it. There are only so many official positions in the court, and there are so many people who take the exam......"

An Ran couldn't stop shaking his head and sighing.

"They're all vying for the title, what do you think?"

"Of course it's Cui Yunzhen! Brother Cui is a 'prodigy', everyone in Xijing knows! His father is Cui Dakang, the secretary of the military department of the dynasty, who is both civil and military. As for Du Zhijie, he is just a rural villager, what amazing talent can he have? Brother Cui can't lose to him! ”

An Ran was extremely confident, and he also touched his "little beard", looking confident.

"Humph! You obviously look down on the children of poor families! People in the world say that 'it is difficult to produce a noble son from a poor family', but there are also really talented young people in the bitter cold family! This is discrimination! Discrimination! ”

Ran Yiyi loves to fight unevenly. In the past, the children of the broad family who loved to bully people in the school were the most annoying.

At that time, Ran Yiyi's high school was an aristocratic school. In the sophomore year of high school, a boy with extremely high qualifications was transferred, not only was he good-looking, but he even won the first place in the exam. But because some narrow-minded villains were jealous of him, they forced him to pick up the information about his part-time job and application for national grants...... Make it known to the whole school. In an aristocratic school, from a "poor family", applying for a bursary is an extremely "shameful" thing. After that, the little girls who ran after him all day long abandoned him, and the eyes of his classmates were no longer admiration and admiration, but disgust and contempt......

"One by one? What do you think! ”

An Ran was a little curious when he saw Ran Yiyi, who was suddenly obsessed with memories.

"Oh. It's nothing! I just want to say that the poor, the wild boys in the countryside, with their own efforts, will also get ahead one day! So, please don't belittle them casually! ”

Ran Yiyi tried his best to convey some of the values of his own time to Enron. Perhaps, in ancient times, it was difficult for those in high positions to change their positions and thoughts, but without trying, it will never be possible.

An Ran was stunned, she had never heard anyone talk about this. She has always known that "there is no poor family in the upper grade, and there is no gentleman in the lower grade". The courtiers of the imperial brother are all from wealthy families, and they have always only been in contact with noble ladies. I have never thought about what kind of life the so-called poor live and what kind of future they have......

"Good. I promise you. I don't arbitrarily discriminate against a person's origin anymore. An Ran held Ran Yiyi's hand and said, "Yiyi, thank you for telling me this." You are really different from others. ”

"Of course. I'm prettier and smarter than others......"

"Oops! Ran Yiyi, if you give a little sunshine, it will be brilliant! ”

"My lord, all the papers for this year's exam are here!"

"Hmm. Got it, go down. ”

"Yes."

Le Zheng happily flipped through the exam papers, and was quite pleased: "This batch of candidates, their writing and opinions are good...... Especially this one......"

"The government of the emperor and the heart of the emperor lie in the people. The people are the foundation of a country. There is no more way to govern the people than 'agriculture' and 'business'.

It is a matter of course for servants to think that they should be agriculture-oriented, lightly pay for their meager endowments, and recuperate. His Majesty the Emperor is diligent in the government and focuses on cutting the people. As the old saying goes: the people take food as the sky. Agricultural affairs, that is, important matters related to the family and country, must not be taken lightly.

The so-called business, that is, the multi-revival water conservancy and spiritual canal, so that the four seas are connected. The circulation of goods and coins in China is indeed not the benefit of Qingxu and one country, so that Chen and Jin have a win-win situation, and tens of millions of people have benefited a lot......"

The more Le Zheng reads it, the more he feels that the point of view of this article is familiar, and he guesses seven or eight points - it is Du Zhijie's work.

"My lord, please look at this."

Mr. Guo couldn't hide his joy and handed over an extremely neatly handwritten exam paper to Le Zheng.

"What is solid? Zhen lazi, encourage shrewdness, from the abyss, from the secret, from the palace Mu Qing, the wind in the hub of Banggi, infused in the frontier, the fall of the negotiate, the spiritual mind, all unimpeded, the skin shape, no strong people are also.

In the real government, the subordinates have some gifts, Li Yu has a legal process, the ears and eyes are one, the hearing and hearing are not chaotic, there is no worry about scattering and drifting, and the governance is prominent; Solid standing, then the function has a tacit understanding, the red has a latent fu, the spirit is to bear, the track is not exceeded, there is no trouble of laziness and laziness, and the root cause is solid. With this fixture, it will not control the world in vain, but also show the world to guard, and maintain each other......"

"Uh-huh...... Not bad...... Not bad! At first glance, this person is a proud and upright person, and he will definitely be able to contribute more to my Qingxu...... What do you colleagues think, how do these two articles compare? ”

Xia Guan believes that although the first article is rich in content and specific in everything, the writing is relatively simple and popular. And this second article is not exhaustive, but the literary talent is visible! Come to think of it, there is no doubt that it is Cui Yunzhen's son! ”

"yes, yes......"

"I'll second!"

The unanimous result of the examiners was that the second article was slightly better.

In the end, Lezheng made a decision to decide:

"This official announces! This year's champion of the imperial examination is Cui's Xiaosheng, Yun Zhen! ”

Xijing Tianning Street.

"Look! It's out! ”

"Ahhh I see it! I'm thirty-eighth! The second class 'Jinshi was born'! ”

"I have it too, I have it too! It is the top three 'born with the Jinshi'! Eighty-ninth! ”

Some people are happy, and some people are sad.

"Don't squeeze! Why didn't I see my name! I didn't get into the exam for 18 years! Iniquity, this is! How long will the 'Gold List Title' stay......"

"Who's the champion?"

"yes, what about the champion?! I bet a lot of money on Du Zhijie! ”

"Big brother, you will pay for it this time!"

"What?!"

"Keep your eyes open and see! The champion is Cui Yunzhen! Du Zhijie is just a role model! ”

"Oops! How so! Du Zhijie obviously won two yuan in a row, how could he still lose?! I'm! ”

"Hahaha...... I told you a long time ago that countrymen can't compare with Cui Gongzi! ”

Du Zhijie was overwhelmed by the crowd, and left in despair.

After ten years of hard study, can't you compare to a son of a general......

"Season to season! Have you heard? The champion is Cui Yun Zhenye! ”

"And then?"

Ji Zhen really couldn't get the excitement of Ran Yiyi.

"It's so handsome! It's so handsome! Cui Yunzhen's kid is white and beautiful, with fine skin and tender meat, and he looks like a ...... at first glance Well...... Unexpectedly, he is still a top student! No, it's just a god! Bow down! ”

"Didn't you stand on the side of Du Zhijie a few days ago! What's the matter, you want to be a grass on the wall, and see the wind as a rudder?"

A certain Zhen was a little unhappy when he heard Ran Yi praising other men one by one, and said it sourly, but Ran Yi didn't notice it at all.

"Hey, you don't understand! Today is different from the past, appearance is justice! Hahaha...... What to do, I'm almost obsessed with him! ”

"People from the Cui family, it's better not to get too close."

"Why?"

"The person who tied you up last time was Cui Dakang, that is, Cui Yunzhen's father."

“What？ My new little male god, his father turned out to be a criminal?! Ran slapped the table one by one and said angrily, "Why didn't you say it earlier!" I've been happy for so long! Doesn't that make me look stupid?! ”

"When have you ever been wise?"

"You ......"

"In short, Cui Dakang is a person who is very deep in the city, and he is by no means a good type. I don't know what happened to his son, but it's always right to be careful. ”

"Cut! I won't tell you, I'll go to Enron to play! ”

Ran left the Ji Mansion without looking back, leaving Ji Zhen alone to "keep the empty room alone".

Tinian Street.

"Little little Erlang, carrying that schoolbag to school, not afraid of the sun, nor afraid of the wind and rain. I'm afraid that my husband will scold me for being lazy, uneducated, and faceless to see my father and mother......"

Ran hummed a little tune all the way, but unexpectedly, a drunk man fell from the sky and sprinkled drunkenness in front of him.

"Little girl! What do you sing...... Be careful, joke Lao Tzu's name is Sun Shan, and he can't be on the list! ”

While talking nonsense, the drunk smashed the wine jar, and the scum splashed everywhere and smashed it towards Ran one by one. Seeing that she was about to dodge, a figure flashed by with her.

"Girl beware!"

Ran Yiyi's soul was about to float away.

"Thank you...... Thank you. In Qingxu, the scientific expedition was frustrated, and the mood was ...... Are they all that big......"

"Perhaps."

It was a young man in sackcloth who rescued Ran Yiyi, and his tone of voice was a little lonely.

"Eh, my name is Ran Yiyi. Dare to ask the benefactor's name? ”

"Don't dare to be, don't dare to be. In the lower Hongyang people's clan, Du Zhijie. ”

"My God, it turns out that you are Du Zhijie!"

"The girl knows me?"

"Your name is known to all the women and children of Qingxu! Let's go, buddy! Sister invites you to a meal! After all, 'the grace of a drop of water should be reciprocated by a spring'! ”

"No, no, no......"

Under the fierce persuasion of Ran Yiyi's dead face, they still came to the Drunken Immortal Residence.

"I heard that you have entered the first class, and you are still on the list, congratulations!"

"Thank you."

"I said, why don't you look happy at all?"

"I ......"

"Just because you didn't win the top prize?"

Du Zhijie didn't speak, which was a tacit acquiescence.

"Look at it! There is nothing wrong with second place. That is, just a stone's throw away from the first......"

"No, it's true that I lost. Cui Yunzhen's literature and general theory are far above me. I'm just a rural villager, and I'm used to writing and lyrics, and my writing is too simple. After all, the written article is still flat and not attractive enough. ”

"Don't be presumptuous! Turnip greens have their own love. I just like things that are easy to understand! What's so good about writing and speaking? Isn't the poem of 'Poetry Demon' Bai Juyi very straightforward? Don't you like it too? ”

Du Zhijie's originally dim light suddenly brightened.

"Do you really think so?"

"Of course! I never lie! ”

The boy smiled.

"The girl is clear-minded and sensible."

"Hey, I've won a prize...... Come on, come on, eat a red embroidered brocade shrimp! It tastes good~"
