The carrier pigeon flew to Splash Mo Lingfang and stopped.

Gao Xingzhi took the messenger and couldn't help laughing: "Old Xie, old Xie, you find me something again." ”

He burned the message, called Li Shangxi over, and told him to do it. Li Shangxi was waiting for Chen Ke to come to the door in the courtyard at the end of the water......

After some bargaining, in the end, Chen Ke bought He Mansleeve's shop from Li Shangxi's hands for a huge sum of 3,000 taels of silver and sent it to He Mansleeve's hands.

He Mansleeve pinched the title deed of the shop, and was so happy that he didn't know what to do: "Lord Chen, it must be very expensive, right?" Our shopkeeper loves this shop very much, and when someone came to buy it, he refused to sell it! ”

"It's not expensive! I knew him, and he gave it to me. Chen Ke smiled, his heart dripping blood.

Three thousand taels of silver, he can't use half of the Chen family's expenses for a year, all of them are used to envelop this kid.

If He Shitong disappoints him tomorrow, he really doesn't know if he will be so angry that he vomits blood.

He Mansleeve made a gesture to kneel down for Chen Ke: "Lord Chen, thank you, you have given me the foundation to settle down, so that I don't have any worries!" ”

"I can't help it!" Chen Ke hurriedly helped him up: "Since this shop is all yours, tomorrow's palace test, you don't have to rush at this time, put aside the washing of vegetables and other chores, go and rest first, I will leave someone for you, let them help you wash it." It's getting late, and I'm going to cheer up with Brother Ma again, so I'll go first. ”

He Mansleeve was flattered and sent him all the way out of the courtyard.

Chen Ke was very satisfied with his attitude, and finally felt that the three thousand taels were worth it, and he was in a good mood all the way back.

After Chen Ke left, He Mansleeve didn't let the people he brought idle, anyway, Chen Ke had already told him, so he calmly ordered the man to help him wash the vegetables, put them in the vegetable basket, cut bamboo shoots, etc., and prepare the ingredients before washing and going to bed. That person got Chen Ke's orders, and he served He Mansleeve today, but he didn't dare to leave. However, there was no place to sleep in this place, so I had no choice but to go to the firewood room to sleep for a night.

The next day, after He Mansleeve got up, he couldn't help but apologize again and again: "I'm really sorry, I have no place to sleep here, and I have wronged my brother." ”

"It's okay. He Gongzi go and prepare. The man had a fire in his belly, but when he saw He Mansleeve's respectful attitude, and thought that this person was a person that the master valued very much, he had to restrain all his temper and did not dare to attack.

He also personally found a carriage and sent He Mansleeve to the palace gate.

The scholars who came to participate in today's palace examination were basically all here, and they took their names to check with the inner supervisor, and after the check, they all stood aside and waited for the inner supervisor to lead them into the palace.

As soon as He Mansleeve arrived, someone immediately greeted: "Shitong, come here." ”

He Mansleeve was in a good mood and stepped forward to salute: "Brother Lin, you have also arrived." ”

"yes." This person is a famous scholar in Jiangdong, this time the test paper was replaced, he was also a victim of the imperial examination fraud case, and later after this case broke out, Emperor Xuanqing also gave him his due ranking, so he was also among the palace exams. He was an acquaintance with He Mansleeve, and greeted him with a smile: "Why are you so late?" ”

"It's boring to line up early if you're early, so it's better to sleep a little longer." He Mansleeve didn't hide it from him.

Lin Jian was dumbfounded: "You, you have always been so casual. ”

As he spoke, Lin Jian looked around and lowered his voice: "Shitong, have you heard?" ”

"What did you hear?" He was stunned.

Lin Jian said: "I heard that the people of the Chen family are courting scholars everywhere, and many of us who came together have received gifts. Chen Ke also sent me one, and I politely declined. ”

"He also sent me one." He Mansleeve smiled: "However, I didn't decline, I accepted it." ”

"You!" When Lin Jian heard this, he instantly boiled and wanted to leave.

He Mansleeve hurriedly pressed him: "Don't worry, listen to me." ”

"What else is there to say, I always thought that you were a person with a clear heart like me. I really think highly of you, I never thought that you would be bought so easily! I don't have a friend like you, farewell! Lin Jian was emotional, and although he lowered his voice, his words were not softened at all.

He Mansleeve smiled: "I didn't really take it." ”

"What do you mean?" The forest was stunned.

He Mansleeve pulled his sleeve, and the two of them were very close before he spoke: "You, you, are always so quick-tempered, let me ask you, the Chen family didn't just buy you and me, but most of the scholars he deliberately made friends, right?" ”

Lin Jian nodded gloomily.

He Mansleeve continued: "I told you to listen, don't be upset. Chen Ke gave me a shop, the one I had in Linshuifang City. I took something, it was last night, I have brought the title deed of the shop over, and after a while, I will go to talk to the prince of Huai'an. ”

"You're here to preserve the evidence?" The forest was overjoyed.

He Mansleeve nodded and pushed him: "Are you still angry?" ”

"Worldcom, you're so smart." Where was Lin Jian still angry, praising him again and again.

He Mansleeve said: "It's not just the shop, he deliberately befriended me many days ago, I thought about it carefully, if I don't agree, I have no evidence to correct him." Therefore, I all agreed, and Chen Ke invited me to revise the masterpiece through Brother Ma, and I have agreed to come down, and I have been writing books with everyone in the Chen family's book pavilion during the day, and it has been five or six days. Now Chen Ke trusts me very much, and when I can move freely in the Chen family, I will definitely be able to find more evidence. ”

"Be careful." Lin Jian said busily.

In the previous imperial examination fraud case, Bai Yu's article was replaced by Chen Mingyin, the eldest son of the Chen family, and this matter was like a thorn in the heart of the forest.

He was bent on getting justice for Bai Yu, but he felt that the Chen family and the Meng family were all snakes and rats, and he had the intention of seeking revenge in his heart, and he was originally unwilling to go along with these people. ”

"Okay, let's take care of things in one place." He replied with full sleeves.

The two muttered, the scholars were basically due, and the inner supervisor shouted, asking everyone to line up, and they were about to enter the Zhengda Guangming Temple.

Lin Jian and He Man arranged their clothes, stopped talking, and followed the crowd in......

On this day, the palace examination, compared to the martial arts examination, because no one watched, only held in the palace, but it was much calmer, only at dusk, there were more outsiders, watching the scholars slowly walk out of the palace gate, or elated, or depressed, it is inevitable to guess.

Who is at the top of this year's list?

Because the Qionglin banquet will be held in the palace the next day, the list of liberal arts exams will be announced in the morning, and at noon, there will be palace people from the inner court who will send clothes and waist cards to invite new scholars to enter the palace.

Just after the hour, the list in the palace was sent out and posted on the imperial court outside the palace gate.

People immediately rushed to watch this year's liberal arts list.

He Mansleeve and others were also among them, and the familiar scholars rushed up to take a look. Ma Dajia was the most fiercely crowded, and soon squeezed to the front, and he went to see the top three first.

As soon as he looked at it, he laughed and roared: "Forest, forest, I see your name!" ”

"How, how?"

The others jumped up and asked.

"Champion! In the forest, you are the champion! Bigfoot laughed inside.

Lin Jian was stunned for a moment, and then, his lips were so happy that his lips were vercopy: "Really? Did you read that right? He held the hand at his side tightly, full of disbelief. After a long time, he remembered to go and see it in person, so he hurriedly pushed away the people around him and squeezed in front of Bangwen. Ma Dajia shouted that voice before, and everyone around him knew that this was this year's new champion, and subconsciously made way for him and He Mansleeve, and Lin Jian and He Mansleeve arrived in front of the list very smoothly.

The bright emperor list, the name written under the champion of the new department is the forest.

"Congratulations, Brother Lin!" He Mansleeve immediately laughed.

Lin Jian confirmed that it was true, his heart fluctuated, he was very good with He Mansleeve, immediately went to see He Mansleeve's name, only looked at one line, then saw He Mansleeve, he hurriedly pushed He Mansleeve: "Shitong, you are Tanhua!" ”

He Mansleeve also hurriedly looked down.

Sure enough, Tanhualang wrote He Shitong's name there.

Ma Dajia couldn't help but shout: "The forest is the champion, the world's flower, our Jiangdong scientific expedition is really famous all over the world." Wait, I'll take a closer look and see if anyone else is in the top 10. ”

After carefully sweeping around, the top ten are gone, but there are a few familiar names in the first thirty miles.

He alone was absent.

Ma Dajia was quite disappointed: "Hey, I knew that I would have worked harder, if I could enter the palace test, I can't say that I can still be an official." Brother Lin and Brother He are still powerful, both of you have become new science and technology scholars, we are waiting for you to go home, it seems that there is no need to wait now. ”

"Although I didn't enter, it would be good to be able to witness it with my brothers." The others comforted him.

Their group of scholars are particularly good when they enter Beijing, and they get along day and night after entering Beijing, and they are like brothers. Soon some people cheered each other on, and the people who had won the Jinshi laughed loudly, and the group left the imperial court happily. After a short time, several people made an appointment on where they were going to have a meal, and after eating this meal, those who did not make it to the Jinshi had to leave the capital, or find another way to make a living, or continue to go home and study hard, which was the suffering of separation.

In the evening, the Qionglin feast began.

This year, the civil and military sciences are happy, so they naturally want to sit down. In the evening, Zhu Xinzhi came out of the palace, and the clothes sent from the palace had already been sent to the Huai'an Palace, Pei Xie Tang took the things and waited for Zhu Xinzhi to go.

The clothes of the new champion are red, gorgeous and flying, Pei Xie Tang is very suitable for such a color.

As soon as the clothes were put on, even Zhu Xinzhi couldn't help but say: "You look so good in this." ”

Pei Xie Tang smiled but did not answer.

The clothes are beautiful today, and the palace banquet is even better, I'm afraid there will be a good show.
