The next day, it was a cloudy day.

Dark clouds began to gather above the clouds, and the cool rain blew away the sweltering heat of Chang'an.

Yan Yi had just woken up from his sleep when he heard someone shouting outside the building: "Congratulations to Mr. Jinan Guoyan for winning the second round of the second round of the high school examination, and since then he has traveled thousands of miles and has been on the ......."

Yan Yi pushed open the window and saw more than a dozen men in green clothes, lined up in a unified formation, saying many congratulatory words in unison downstairs. It's not the first time I've seen such a scene, he experienced it once on the day of the first round of the exam. Therefore, as usual, he called the old servant and told him to prepare a thousand dollars to send to those who congratulated him.

Before the old servant left, Yan Yi's heart moved and stopped him: "After going down, ask who won the first place, and then ask if anyone has solved the fifth question." ”

The sexagenary branch is headed by A.

The second place in the first list, that is, the second place.

Yan Yi was very curious about who would win the first place in this examination, and at the same time he was faintly unconvinced.

If it weren't for the second place, it would be fine, but he was the second place, and Yan Yi naturally had the mind to explore why the first place could override his head. After all, in this test of mathematics, he admits that he will never make mistakes in the first four questions. Although he still hasn't solved the answer to the fifth question, he also gave an idea of how to solve the question on the day of the exam.

Yan Yi asked himself, it is difficult for someone to do better than himself.

If that person solves the fifth question, Yan Yi will naturally bow down. But if that person doesn't solve the fifth question but can live above himself, Yan Yi and the humble gentleman will not care about these things, but he will feel a little uncomfortable in his heart.

After a while, the old servant who went down returned upstairs after dispersing the money: "The young master inquired, and the first place in the second round of the examination is Liu Jian from Xinfeng County." ”

"Liu Jian?" When Yan Yi heard it, he felt that this name was a little familiar: "But that Xinfeng man Liu Jian who did not disobey his father's order to be punished for filial piety?" ”

"Exactly."

Yan Yi asked, "He solved the fifth question?" ”

"Yes, young master, I heard those rangers who came to congratulate him say that Liu Jiannai was the only scholar who solved the fifth question in this examination, so he was listed as the first on the first list."

"I see." Yan Yi smiled: "It's me who underestimated the heroes of the world." ”

Yan Yi's family education is strict, and at this moment, when he heard that Liu Jian had solved the fifth question and was ranked first on the first list, the unevenness in his heart immediately dissipated, but he was full of curiosity about Liu Jian, who could solve the fifth question.

The fifth question, even today, Yan Yi still hasn't been able to solve the answer. Although Yan Yi was sure that he would definitely be able to solve this problem if he was given another month, it was impossible to solve it on the spot in the examination room. Yan Yi felt that only Zhang Cang, the Marquis of Beiping, could solve this problem on the spot.

Liu Jian can solve this problem, and it may not be another plan in the future.

"Have you asked where Liu Jian lives?"

"Young master, I heard from those rangers that Liu Jian rented a small courtyard in Liushi, and now he lives there."

"Fetch water, wait for me to bathe and change my clothes, and go to the meeting."

"Young master, this ...... There are already many people outside here, saying that they want to see you, young master? ”

Yan Yi was stunned for a moment, then stopped and said, "That's right, I can't be rude." And at this time, he will definitely not join in the excitement of the market,"

The second round of the examination won the first place in the first place, which was expected by Liu Jian. After passing the first round, he didn't worry about the second round, after all, he was the only one who could answer the fifth question correctly, if it wasn't the first place, it would be a joke.

But Liu Jian didn't expect that winning the first place would cause such a sensation.

The people who reported the good news came early in the morning, and after Zhang Daniu took a few hundred dollars to send away the rangers who reported the good news, the people who came to visit one after another, and everyone was holding a valuable gift in their hands. There are even many characters who seem to be either rich or noble, such as the princes and nobles in Chang'an City, who came to the door and opened their mouths, saying, 'My family has a daughter, and I am young and young, and I can be a good match. Wen Jun is not married, I want to recruit you as Xu......

Fortunately, Liu Jian had told a big lie about his father's death, so he could barely deal with these red-eyed princes and nobles. As for the merchants, of course they also want to tie Liu Jian to their homes, but look at the princes who almost didn't fight first to decide the winner, which of these merchants dares to speak?

And according to the original calculation, Liu Jian estimated that these princes who came to the door may still be small fish, and the real big fish are waiting behind, and the specific Liu Jian doesn't remember very clearly, but later Yan Yi married a young lady from the real power of the liehou family. Liu Jian estimated that his piece of fresh and tender fat meat had already been targeted by a certain prince of real power.

His popularity has also risen wildly, and at this growth rate, Liu Jian estimates that he will meet the basic requirements for crossing again in a few days.

The reason why Liu Jian didn't expect it was very simple.

Because he is from Guanzhong.

Liu Jian originally had some expectations for the situation after the examination, but he expected that the description in the original book and the attention that Yan Yi received after winning the first place were the basic references.

But what he didn't expect was that he was from Guanzhong and Yan Yi was from Jinan, Kanto.

Regardless of the era, regional discrimination is widespread. The Germans looked down on the French, the French looked down on the British, the British looked down on the Scottish, and all Europeans looked down on the Italians. In later generations in China, the two major cities of the magic capital and Shendu discriminated against outsiders, urban people against rural people, and rural people against urban-rural areas, etc. In the Western Han Dynasty, extensive regional discrimination also existed, and if you don't delve into it, the most important discrimination is the phenomenon of mutual discrimination between the Kanto and Guanzhong people. Even the policies of the Han dynasty and some historical reasons, this kind of discrimination is much more serious than that of later generations.

The Kanto people feel that the people in Guanzhong are all big-footed men and have no culture, while the corresponding Guanzhong people feel that the people in Guandong are all sissies and have no manhood.

Yan Yi was born in Jinan and is close to Lu, and the people of Guanzhong generally discriminate against Lu people the most. Therefore, Yan Yi won the first place, although the people in Guanzhong felt envious, but in their hearts, they didn't regard Yan Yi as their own. And now that Yan Yi has become the second and Liu Jian has become the first name, all this is immediately different.

Regardless of what kind of place Liu Jian was from before, now Liu Jian's hometown is clearly written in Zhang's family, Xinfeng County, Guanzhong. In short, Liu Jian is his own person in the hearts of Guanzhong's people!

So the idea of the Guanzhong people is very simple.

Don't you Kanto people always say that we viewers are uneducated and uneducated? Did you see it, the first place in the examination held by the prince Liu De is our Guanzhong masters! You Kanto people are not convinced, and if you are not convinced, go home and play in the mud!

Liu Jian also figured out this truth after a long time.

This kind of ushering and sending lasted until it was dark, and many people invited Liu Jian to go to the banquet in the evening, but Liu Jian excused himself on the pretext that his father was mourning.

After sending off the last person, Liu Jian finally breathed a sigh of relief.

As an otaku who doesn't like to socialize, Liu Jian only feels that he has more words to say today than in previous years.

"Don't dare, don't dare, don't dare to be Liu Jun's gift." Cheng Zhuo hurriedly returned the salute and said with a smile: "This time, His Royal Highness the Prince held an examination to raise Liu Jun and won the first place on the gold list, but it has increased the prestige of my Guanzhong boy, Cheng Zhuo congratulates Liu Jun and congratulates Liu Jun." ”

"Don't dare, don't dare, this is the blessing of my father's spirit in the sky, it's just a fluke." Liu Jian hurriedly said. No matter how much he doesn't like to socialize, in this situation here and now, Liu Jian must say what he should say.

The two of them entered the house and politely greeted Cheng Zhuo a few times, and then he made his intentions clear: "Can Liu Jun still adapt to living here?" ”

"Thank you Brother Cheng for your concern, this house is very good, how can there be anything wrong with Brother Fool."

"How can this be done, there are many noisy people in Liushi, how can Liu Jun be at ease when he reads? I have another house with the most quiet environment, so I gave it to Liu Jun as a place where Chang'an is entrenched. Liu Jun don't want to refuse, Liu Jun and I are like a courtyard in the old yard when we see each other, if Liu Jun doesn't accept it, will he look down on Cheng? ”

What else can Liu Jian say, he can only accept it.

"Liu Jun has no one to take care of his life from the mountains, and my family has a fine gentleman who is young and young, so he will follow Liu Jun. I didn't ask for fame, I just let her serve Liu Jun by her side, make the bed and fold the quilt. ”

"Liu Jun, you can't forget my family." When Zhang Daniu heard this, he immediately became anxious.

Liu Jian finally understood why so many people took the imperial examination during the Song and Ming dynasties, and even some people had to continue the examination when they were seventy or eighty years old. In this exam, someone will send money, send a house, and send a sister, and you don't want a name, as long as you make a bed and fold a quilt next to you. Who can take the test or not?

At least Liu Jian is pounding his heart now.

But looking at Cheng Zhuo and Zhang Daniu, who were scorching.

Liu Jian's head hurt again, a happy headache.
