Huang Tixue woke up in the middle of the night, waiting in front of the bed were Huang Lubao, Zeng Yu, and Doctor Xue, and the two maids helped Huang Tixue sit on the bed. ”

After Huang Tixue finished washing his face and cleaning his hands, Dr. Xue checked his pulse again, added and subtracted a few medicines to the previous prescription, and told Huang Tixue to pay attention to rest and not work, so he resigned with Zeng Yu, and the school department arranged for the two of them to rest in the auricular room behind the lobby.

After Zeng Yu finished washing, Dr. Xue next door also got up, practicing five poultry plays in the court, Zeng Yu watched from the side, then Huang Lubao came over and said that Huang Tixue invited Zeng Gongzi to have something to discuss, Zeng Yu greeted Dr. Xue, and then followed Huang Lubao to Huang Tixue to say goodbye, Huang Tixue was eating porridge, and his spirit was much better than yesterday, so that Zeng Yu also had breakfast here, Zeng Yu was a little humble, and sat down in the next seat.

The maid brought japonica rice porridge, as well as a plate of bean balls and a plate of oil rolls, Zeng Yu was really hungry, he didn't even eat dinner yesterday, and then he ate two bowls of porridge, and ate more than half of the bean balls and oil rolls in front of him-

Huang Tixue drank porridge slowly, looked at Zeng Yu's excellent appetite, and sighed: "Zeng Sheng is young and strong, it's really enviable." ”

Zeng Yu said: "I'm ashamed, the student looks ugly, which makes the grandmaster laugh." Drink all the gruel in the bowl, put down the chopsticks, took the face towel handed by the maidservant, wiped the corners of his mouth, and stood up.

Huang Tixue drank half a bowl of porridge, then asked the maid to put away the dishes and chopsticks, and said to Zeng Yu: "My school department actually hid such a big rat, no, it's a wolf, it really shocked the old man." ”

Zeng Yu was only the only one, and listened to Huang Ti's words after learning.

Huang Tixue said: "The fraud case has come to light, but there are many people involved. "This is to use Zeng Yu as a staff member.

Zeng Yu said: "Students think that it is enough to punish the first evil, and it is not appropriate to implicate too widely. ”

Huang Tixue nodded, and said: "The seventeen Confucian students who relied on bribes to go to school, the old man directly went to the government school and county school to get rid of his fame, how about it?" ”

Zeng Yu said: "The grandmaster is resolute, and it is certainly a good thing to deal with Duansu Shifeng, but the grandmaster must also take care of his own reputation, this case is bound to attract the attention of the supervising imperial history, and the grandmaster must prepare in advance." ”

Huang Tixue said: "It's the old man who doesn't notice, misuse the bandits, fortunately, I think it's early, if you wait until the end of the thirteen government court exams, then the rumors will swarm, the crowd is raging, and it will be difficult to recover - the matter has come to this, the old man can't pretend to be wrong, he will explain the reason to the inspector and the supervision of the imperial history, alas, the old man is old and sick, and he has long had the idea of being a official, and the old man has been an official for many years, not for personal gain, and the official reputation is quite good. ”

Zeng Yu said: "Since the imperial examination, fraud is inevitable, and it is the luck of Jiangxi scholars that the grandmaster can set things right." ”

Huang Tixue waved his hand and said: "You don't have to comfort the old man, the old man will never shirk the responsibility he should bear, let alone try to cover up his mistakes." And said: "Your make-up examination has passed, the two eight-strand essays are impeccable, I am very relieved, I will write Yongfeng County Office and County School, record you as a member of the Zengguang Students, and then take you as a member of the Diet Student in the scientific examination next year, so that your livelihood can be worry-free, you can leave to return to your hometown tomorrow, I expect that when you return to Yongfeng, the official document of the School Department will arrive early." ”

Zeng Yu knelt down to thank the Grandmaster for his support, and Huang Ti learned: "Get up, get up." "Ordered someone to take ten taels of silver to Zeng Yu as a coil to return to his hometown.

Zeng Yu didn't dare to accept it, and last time he was in Fuzhou Huang Tixue, he helped him to wrap five taels of silver, and said: "Students are not short of coils now." So he briefly talked about Yichun Taidouwen.

Huang Tixue said with a smile: "There are such things, this is good, lest outsiders rumor that the old man is favoritism to protect you - you still accept the ten taels of silver, this is the anointing silver given to you by the School Department, not the old man's personal kindness." ”

At this time, Governor Fan sent someone to ask Huang Tixue whether the retest and grinding survey this morning would be postponed?

Huang Tixue replied that it would be held on time, that is, let his subordinates start to prepare, and those adjutants and the other three staff members had already learned about Ling Fengqu's matter, and they were all secretly surprised.

Zeng Yu resigned, asked to know that Dr. Jiang had left, he also walked out of the examination shed to the north gate, this time thousands of miles to catch the exam is also a hardship, now finally has a good result, it is really like an arrow, I want to fly back to my mother and little sister immediately, let's leave in the afternoon, rush to Wutang Dr. Jiang's house to rest the night, now the problem is that he still has to deal with Yan Shifan, it is not easy to be the companion of Yan Gongzi, the building will fall, but don't be affected-

"Ha Luha, I want to ride a white horse and wear a golden flower today, and look at the row of squinted eyes, whether I want to die of shame!"

A group of people came to the front, it was Cai Shourong in the center, surrounded by a group of fox friends and slaves, rushed to the government to participate in the re-examination, and the re-examination was to be held immediately after the ceremony.

Zeng Yu felt that the hour was still early, and he still had to say goodbye to Jing Yi's friends, so he followed Cai Shourong to watch the excitement, such a drama scene of joy and sorrow is rare to see, and it must be watched.

When I arrived at the Beiyi Gate of the Mansion Ya, idlers were not allowed to enter, Cai Shourong entered proudly, and the re-examination room was in the lobby of the Mansion Ya, Zeng Yu saw Liu Xingzhi and Jing Yi also entered, Lie Licheng and a group of Confucian students waited outside the door, and they all said that today they will see how the grandmaster stirs up the turbidity and Yangqing to uphold justice-

When Lie Licheng saw Zeng Yu, he came over to greet him and asked, "What do you say about Zeng's friend's study?" ”

Zeng Yu said: "The Grandmaster asked me to go back to my hometown and wait for news. ”

Lie Licheng said: "That is to be able to go to school, with your knowledge, no one dares to question it, but that Cai Mazi - Brother Zeng knows this person?" ”

Zeng Yu said: "I've heard that I'm here today to see the end of the fraudster's disrepute. ”

At this time, an adjutant from the School Department came out of Yimen and invited six unsuccessful Confucian students to participate in the re-examination prison, Lie Licheng naturally participated enthusiastically, and the adjutant recognized Zeng Yu and let Zeng Yu go in with him.

The hall of the government is five rooms wide, it is very spacious, it is more than enough for 60 candidates to write essays on a table and a stool, and the hall is sitting on the hall is Huang Tixue and the officials of the four counties of Yuanzhou, and the instructor is invigilating the examination in the two rooms, Zeng Yu and Lie Licheng stand under the hall to watch.

In the re-examination, there is only one four-book question, and the test question that Huang Ti learned is "Xiuzhi", which is another truncated question, which is "Mencius? Teng Wen Gongxia", the complete sentence is "All Chu people sigh." ”

Lie Licheng said softly to Zeng Yu: "I expect Cai Shourong to not even know what 'Xiuzhi' means, Cai Shourong's usual compositions are to turn the book, pieced together, barely completed, today I want to see how he fools around!" ”
