Outside, there were guards who came to report, and officials from the Ministry came to discuss the matter.

Shen Zetang led the head of the jaw, put the bowl aside, raised his eyes and saw that Shen Rong was still waiting for his reply, so he smiled slightly: "If Shen Huan is here, he will find Xu Jing to make up a reason." ”

Shen Rong's face flushed, and he hurriedly replied yes, he wanted to clean up the food box, but Shen Erye waved his hand and asked him to get more than a dozen bowls and spoons, and when everything was in order, all the officials had arrived, Xu Jing glanced at Shen Rong, and the two of them stepped back and forth.

Shen Zetang excused everyone from courtesy, pointed to the food box and said gently: "This is the bird's nest porridge sent by the guards ordered by the mother, and the discussion will be long later, if you want, you can eat the bowl mat first." ”

This time, it was rare to see a few directors of the Qing Officials Division and outsiders, and they were apprehensive in their hearts, and they were cautious and did not dare to act rashly.

After eating here, Shen Zetang submitted the file and account books from the various divisions, and asked the beginning and end carefully, some of them were approved, and some of them replied.

The hall was very quiet, and all the members stood with their faces solemn, and no one dared to laugh and play.

It was Huang Rong's turn to be in the anthology of Qing officials, Shen Zetang glanced at the booklet he handed over, and after a while, he slowly put down the pen, looked at him with a slight deep eye, and saw that Huang Rong's back was soaked with sweat.

Only then did Shen Zetang glance at the crowd, and said in a calm voice: "This morning, Xu Ge Lao played the governor of the river, Xu Zhengong, and the officials of Xingyang Prefecture and the county officials of Xingyang, who embezzled one million taels of silver allocated by the imperial court to repair the embankment and plug the mouth, and used floating sand and gravel to offset the real soil slurry stone, cutting corners, causing the Xingyang winter embankment to collapse in a few months, causing frequent floods and the people to make a living. Xu Ge and his confession were also submitted, which can be described as conclusive and ironclad. ”

He looked at Huang Rong again: "I still remember that you once submitted a letter of advice, strongly recommending Xu Zhengong for his meritorious work in managing the river, and he should be rewarded for his promotion." Lord Huang should do it himself. “

Huang Rong's face was already as pale as earth, his body trembled like chaff, and he knelt down and kowtowed: "My lord is clear, and the lower officials also do things according to the rules, and they don't dare to bend the law for personal gain." ”

"That's great!" Shen Zetang said lightly, moved his booklet aside, and asked if Qiu Gu had a file to be reviewed.

Qiu Gu stepped forward and said: "Lord Zhongji, the official of the Ministry of Rites, came yesterday, the imperial examination in the autumn is approaching, and the prince wants to strictly rectify the fraud in the examination room, and prohibit bribery and bribery of examiners. “

Shen Zetang listened attentively, and said in a deep voice: "There are two chief examiners for the township examination, four examiners in the same examiner, one person who has been promoted, and two people who have been invigilated. How many people does Lord Ji need and what kind of position do they need? ”

Qiu Gu hurriedly replied: "Only one person will be transferred from the Ministry of Officials to serve as the chief examiner." Lord Shen saw who was more suitable, and Lord Ji urged him to hurry. ”

Shen Zetang's eyes suddenly flashed Feng Shunyu's face, with spring eyebrows and watery eyes, a vermilion mouth, a white and delicate red chest, and a smooth and tight hip flap ......... the touch.

A girl's family, how should they deal with the autumn imperial examination search? He was genuinely curious.

In fact, he should have long passed the age of curiosity.

Shen Zetang took a bite of the teacup, made a decision in an instant, and smiled at Qiu Gu: "The prince is so important to the selection of talents, how can the officials be perfunctory?" This time, I will be the chief examiner, and let Ji Langzhong send the names of the candidates for the imperial examination and the number room record. ”

Qiu Gu hurriedly agreed.

The officials were full of surprise, and secretly thought to themselves that it was just a township test, so why bother Shen Erye, who was a scholar of the Ministry of Officials and a scholar of Dongge University, to go in person?

Li Bingcheng stepped forward and squirmed his lips to persuade him, but when he saw that he had told him about the matter, he had already asked Jixun Shilangzhong about Guo Jia's arrangements for leaving Beijing and returning to his hometown.

It's a foregone conclusion.

............................................................

The autumn test is one on the ninth, twelfth and fifteenth days of August.

Shun Yu had already inquired in detail from Fu Heng, from the morning of the ninth day of the eighth month to the afternoon of the tenth day of the first month of August, the four books and three ways of righteousness and the four ways of scripture and righteousness were examined.

From August 12 to 13, one examination was conducted, five sentences were made, and one was given to each subject of the edict table.

August 15 is the five ways of economic history and current affairs.

Fu Heng said that it was terrible, he wanted to enter the number room and stay for two nights. The army will block the inner and outer gates, eating, drinking, and Lazar are all inside, if you don't have a strong body, I'm afraid you can't survive it.

Shun Yu is confident about making a fuss, and what she is worried about is the body search, and Qin Xing has inquired about it, because Guozijian is also set up as the examination institute, and the soap officials who search the body are ready-made, and they all know each other, so they can mix in, and she heard Liu Xuezheng mention it, and the instructor was also requisitioned to guard the second gate for inspection, so she breathed a sigh of relief.

Qin Yanzhao said that the strict examination room and the selection of examiners were afraid that she would be afraid to scare her.

Suddenly, I remembered that on August 15, when Qin Yanzhao got married, it was also the time of her imperial examination, how could her fate be wrong, but this arrangement was just right.

The door opened and closed with a "squeak", Shun Yu raised his eyes, but it was Feng Shuanglin who came in with Xu Lan, followed by Cui Zhongxian who shook the Sichuan fan.

"The township test is good, with Feng Jiu's talent, it's not a matter of nine out of ten!" Cui Zhongxian grinned, and wanted to sit next to Shun Yu affectionately, but he was pushed away by Xu Lan, but he was not annoyed, and went to Feng Shuanglin to mutter.

Xu Lan sat down in front of her with a big grin, and Shun Yu pursed her lips and pushed him with a smile: "Only the state officials are allowed to set fires, and the people are not allowed to light lamps?" Stay away from me, too. “

"I have something to ask you." Xu Lan said in a calm voice: "Is your butt still bleeding?" “

"Shed ghost blood, don't go around shouting and ruining my reputation." Shun Yu blushed and gritted his teeth to warn, so he simply turned his face and looked down to read, ignoring him.

A piece of the neck is white and tender, peeking out from her neckline, and the placket is open along the slightly curved shoulder blades, and you can see the beauty bones at a glance.

Xu Lanjun's face was a little red, shameful, what did he want to see?

He got up, stayed away from Shun Yu, found a chair to sit on, frowned and looked at Feng Shuanglin and said, "What did you call us here for?" I haven't practiced riding and archery yet! “

Feng Shuanglin smiled: "Haven't you heard of it? In recent days, many famous prostitutes in Nanzhong have come to the capital to settle down, Miss Wang Hutong newly opened Yunxiang Building, the name of the Oiran is Zhang Yunke, good at makeup, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and has a gorgeous and rich appearance, gentle feelings. Are you interested in taking a look? “

Cui Zhongxian glanced at him: "You are so elegant, it's a pity, it's a pity .........!" If you want to speak, you stop talking, but you don't say it.

Feng Shuanglin ignored him, only looked at Xu Lan, and said to Shun Yu: "I don't have the mind of a prostitute, Miss Wang Hutong is adjacent to Cherry Xiejie in the east and Tianshui Hutong in the west. Sweetwater Hutong is the territory of local prostitutes, Cherry Xiejie is the place where Youtong is down, and now there are prostitutes in Nanzhong, just want to see the three main rings, who has the upper hand now! Feng Shunyu, don't you want to know? ”

Shun Yu's heart moved, she could naturally understand the secret meaning of Feng Shuanglin's words, the southern prostitute she mentioned to Shen Zetang that day was just casually talking, but she never thought that that person would really adopt it and give it so quickly.
