(In order to understand the content of this story, we have to go back more than 700 years.) ）

There used to be two small kingdoms in the vast land, one called Dachang and the other called the Barbarian Kingdom.

The capital of Dachang is Zhouyang City, and the capital of the barbarian country is a bloody grassland, and the capital of the country will migrate from time to time. Therefore, even if you have no fixed residence, you still have to decide the direction of migration according to the change of seasons.

In the sixth year of Zhengde, agriculture in Dachang rose and fell, the country and the people were safe, and agriculture embarked on the road.

This made the barbarians doubly angry, and the barbarian country's military strength and individual qualities played a role. In an instant, the barbarians began to declare war on Dachang.

In the fifteenth year of Zhengde, in nine years, the Dachang border fortress was lost and retreated to the second line of protection.

In April of the fifth year of Zhengde, that is, in the years when the country and the people were safe.

A child was born in a marginal city near the Biansai city......

19th year of Zhengde, April:

"Chu Luoyu is already fourteen, and the next thing is to rush to Zhouyang City to participate in the election." Above the lobby, a woman in cloth said anxiously.

A middle-aged man sitting in the hall, dressed in a green robe, sat on a wooden chair. Holding a bowl of tea in his hand, the heat slowly drifted from the tea mouth.

"Okay, you old guy, you're still in the mood to drink tea!"

"Our belongings are here, and there is only such an old mansion left. At most, the family's money is enough for him to leave some entanglements on the way to Shangdu. Don't think about the ones on the side. He pouted, sniffed the aroma of the tea, and said.

"Then you give me a trick! There was no scholar to accompany them, so those poor children also smashed pots and sold iron to hire a scholar. You say you're ......."

"All right, I'll go to the market in a few days. I received information that the Dachang Thousand Cavalry had won a great victory and had returned with a number of slaves.

When the time comes, I'll find a half-breed and dress up and make a living......"

"It's all your fault, you have to go to that ...... with that disciple."

"Madam, at this point, it's almost over, don't keep me from getting off the stage~" The middle-aged man sitting in the hall stood up.

He is more than 1.8 meters tall, with a body as tall as a pillar, and the texture of the skin outlined under the robe is clear.

……

In June of the nineteenth year of Zhengde, Chu Luoyu's father had bought back a thin mixed-race person from the market.

Under the advice of thousands of times, he reluctantly became a scholar and set off at the end of June of the 19th year of Zhengde.

Counting the hurry, it will take more than half a month to reach Zhouyang City, and there is still some time before the election exam.

Twenty years after Zhengde, the election results came out.

Zhouyang City was crowded with people, and the high walls with lists were surrounded by crowds.

At this time of year, it is the time when the results of the candidates are announced, and the top three will hold larger official positions. Therefore, the number of people who come here to see who has won the top list will not be small.

"Hey...... So many people, you tell me who got it? ”

"Don't cut the line~ Come ...... one by one"

"Let me see! Obediently, it was him! Hey...... Don't squeeze it! ”

"If you see it, let's go...... We can't see it here! ”

"Let me see if my young master is in middle school, my lord is auspicious, I wish the young master high school ......"

……

"Young Master...... I found ...... You're in, you're in! "The scholar who bought it from the bazaar was called Chu Luofeng, with two poems under the young master's name.

"Falling Wind...... What did you say! Am I hit? Chu Luoyu exclaimed in surprise.

"Yes, the fourth ...... of joy"

"It's okay, it's okay, if you don't give me a hard time, I thought I wouldn't be able to pass this election. When I return to my hometown, I will be able to glorify my ancestors! Ha ha...... Let's go, Luofeng, I'll take you to get something to eat. ”

……

His name is not in the top three, and he is at the top of the list.

It is second only to the top three and is in fourth place. In the twenty-first year of Zhengde, he was transferred to Chanzhou as an eight-grade waiter.

……

According to the rules, you must first work in this industry for a few months before you can "turn regular", and after you are transferred, you will be at least a five-grade senior official.

After a few days, I went back to my hometown. The imperial court arranged some people to escort Chu Luoyu to Chanzhou.

Naturally, if you want to be festive, you have to go back to your hometown to see, first, to let those idle guys see their skills; The second is to ask the parents if they are going to Chanzhou together.

……

"Let's go and see! There was a big official in the bazaar, it seems to be from our township! A short man in a cloth coat ran into the village in a panic.

Many people opened the door and poked their heads out. Some of them have already prepared their belongings, and they will go there with their wives and children on their backs.

Even if it is a long experience, it will be beneficial for fellow villagers to stammer.

"Chu Nancheng, you still have the heart to drink tea here! I can't get rid of that bad habit. ”

"What a bad habit! It's just taste, not as flustered as you. Chu Nancheng frowned and said.

In the past two days, she has been nagging about the hall, and she has been driving crazy all day long about whether she can be admitted to the middle school examination.

"Then you hurry up and pack up your things and go to the market, even if it's not my family's feathers, then you can stutter as soon as possible. Our family has never had a grudge against the outside, although it is not close. Maybe there will be those little guys~" She said as she picked up some items.

You have to bring a few small things with you to the market, and it's a short distance from the village to the town. I don't think I can come back the next day, so I have to stay there for the night.

……

The town was crowded with people, as if desperately trying to gather around something.

Sure enough, two small officials holding signs walked from the path outside the town. He was followed by a man on a tall horse, and behind him was an elderly eunuch.

"Where is this? It's a lot of hard work. He said unhappily.

"My father-in-law and his entourage are also tired, so I will invite my father-in-law to sit at the house later. How is it? ”

"Since Xiucai has said so, the miscellaneous family is no longer hypocritical. Later, I will go and proclaim the holy decree, and you yourself should be careful.

I still follow the rules, and the miscellaneous family will take care of your little gift and put some thought into it for you.

It may not be a matter to be a rich gentleman in a small place. ”

"Thank you father-in-law~"

……

"Ahem, the holy decree of Dachang Kingdom has arrived~

Zhengde win-win, Diyun Zhao said: The Chinese Han Chu has outstanding writing talents, and His Majesty intends to invite the country to be right.

Today, he was given the title of "Xiucai", rewarded with hundreds of copper coins, a number of silk belts, and a barbarian war horse.

Qin this~" The old eunuch's sissy voice is quite magnetic, and he is really a servant figure in the palace of suffering.

The grass people below who were kneeling on the ground to receive the order listened and couldn't help muttering quietly.

"I said, this latest Lang official is Han Boy?"

"I said that kid has a chance, you still don't listen to me, how many things can you save while you are early......"

"It's still from our village, this reward ......"

"It's not far off to be a big official, haha...... It's okay, it's good that our two families are in-laws~"
