"Chen Jun, forget it, I'll just change my shop and work!", Lu Ming said with a sigh.

"But...... Lu Ming, that's your salary for this month, so you just forget it?", Chen Jun's eyes widened, full of anger.

Shopkeeper Zhu smiled and said: "It's still Lu Gongzi who knows current affairs, this is the temperament to do great things!"

"Shopkeeper Zhu, feng shui takes turns, farewell!"

After Lu Ming dropped this sentence, he pulled Chen Jun and left the restaurant together, and the shopkeeper Zhu smiled and spat in the direction where Lu Ming left, with a thick sneer in his eyes.

"A poor sour deserves my wages? Hmph, I thought you would get angry and quarrel with me, in that case I would have an excuse to teach you a lesson, but I didn't expect you to be well-behaved this time. ”

At this time on the street, Chen Jun was still very angry, and Lu Ming said helplessly: "Shopkeeper Zhu is a smiling tiger, don't look at him with a smile, if we make trouble with him, we both have to finish playing!"

"That's right,"

Chen Jun woke up at this time, and the next moment he said without surprise: "Huh, when did you become so calm, aren't you angry?"

"Angry, of course angry!"

Lu Ming said: "But we are poor people after all, we can't fight with them, and when we have fame in the future, we will settle accounts with them!"

"Okay! If you have ambition, you can come to my house for dinner tonight, and tomorrow morning, let's go to see the gold list together!"

......

At night, in the examination room of the county academy, there were more than a dozen officials led by Luo County Ling and Yan who were reviewing the examination papers, and the whole room was full of a pile of test papers, but each test paper was placed neatly.

At this time, Li Xuezheng of the county academy of literature exclaimed: "The talent gathers but does not disperse, it is actually the poetry of Mingzhou! Yan is the chief judge, this is a great joy! Our Jiang County has another 'prodigy'!"

"What did you say?"

Chief Judge Yan stood up and walked next to Student Li to watch, and what Li Xuezheng was holding was Lu Ming's exam paper, which was written on the poem "Yuan Ri".

"In the sound of firecrackers, the spring breeze sends warmth into Tusu, and thousands of households always replace the new peach with the old charm. ”

After Chief Judge Yan read it in a low voice, he was so angry that his whole face was red, and the talent on the test paper gathered but did not disperse, which was the image of Mingzhou!

Talent forming is out of the county, talent is jumping is Dafu, talent gathering but not scattering is Mingzhou.

He had just finished reviewing Yan Weiqing's test papers, and half of his talent had already dissipated, at most he was only a poet in Dafu, far from being comparable to Lu Ming.

Jiang County's poems are already remarkable, but I didn't expect Lu Ming's poems to reach Mingzhou, he is just a poor sour, how can He De trample the prodigy of the Yan family under his feet!

Chief Judge Yan looked at Lu Ming's couplet answer sheet again, and after a long time, his face turned blue with anger, but he had nothing to say.

"Brother Yan, what's wrong with you?", Luo Xianling on the other side asked.

Chief Judge Yan snorted coldly and handed the test paper to Luo Xianling: "Brother, look at it yourself, this is Lu Qian's answer sheet." ”

Luo Xian Ling took a cursory tour, and then his face was shocked, and he immediately reviewed it very carefully.

After a long time, Luo Xian ordered a slap on the desk: "The Analects are Class A, the couplets are Class B, the poems are Class B, and the gold list is not hit!"

Li Xuezheng's face changed greatly: "County Zun, don't do it! The lower officials think that Lu Mingwen is outstanding, and he will definitely be able to get three 'A's, maybe he can compete for the top of this year's case!"

"Brother Li, you don't understand this. ”

Luo Xianling waved his hand and said: "Lu Ming is still too young after all, and he naturally has nothing to say in the Analects, but his couplets are just rhymes, but they are not on topic, and his poems are the same, how can he get the top three?"

"You ......"

Li Xuezheng said angrily: "County Zun, why do you bother to use strong words, Lu Ming's literary talent is definitely far superior to others, how can you make him fall off the list? No! Absolutely not!"

Chief Judge Yan immediately said: "Brother Li, you have to pay attention to your identity, you are just a partial trial, not the chief judge, let alone a county order, it is not up to you to decide who is on the list or who falls off the list!"

Li Xuezheng said without showing weakness: "What I said is not a joke, I am a scholar of the Academy of Literature, since I can participate in the review of the papers, I am qualified to put talented people on the list!"

"Okay, okay, let's stop arguing!

Luo Xianling waved his hand and said: "Let other officials take a look to see if Lu Qiansan can be on the list!"

In the last few words, Luo Xianling also deliberately accentuated the tone.

Hearing this, other officials also rushed over and reviewed Lu Ming's test papers in turn.

"Good!"

One person slapped the table and exclaimed, and then Luo Xianling suddenly coughed, and the man's face immediately changed, and he said: "The answer in the test paper of the Analects is very good! As for the others, it is just average!"

"You...... How can you be like this!", Li Xuezheng was furious.

"Let me see, huh...... That's it!"

"I thought that Lu Ming's literary talent was really average, and he couldn't go to high school!"

The test paper was passed to the last official, who was a good friend of Li Xuezheng.

The man carefully reviewed the papers, then put them on the table, did not speak, but smiled helplessly.

"Hey......"

Li Xuezheng sighed: "As a court official, I can only see talented students buried because of this, and I am ashamed of the country and the people, and I have no face to do it again." ”

"Li Xuezheng, what are you going to do!", Chief Judge Yan snorted.

"I won't do this official, return the official seal!"

"You dare!"

Luo Xianling said loudly: "You are a scholar of the county academy, why should you resign? Don't say that I don't agree, I'm afraid even the court won't agree!"

Li Xuezheng said: "That's your business, anyway, I've already decided!"

"Okay! In that case, then you must at least complete today's work, otherwise if you can't choose the top 100 places in your county tonight, you won't be able to escape responsibility!"

"Well, it's the last day anyway. Li Xuezheng sighed and sat down again.

......

On the second day, the county academy released the list, and countless people came to watch early in the morning.

Lu Ming and Chen Jun finally squeezed into the crowd, and immediately looked at the top of the gold list, and saw Yan Weiqing's name ranking first.

"A, A, A, the head of the case! Yan Weiqing actually hit the head of the case!"

Lu Ming's face changed in shock, the name of the head of the case is incredible, it is the first place in the entire Liangguo County Imperial Examination, the first place on the gold list, which is not trivial!

"It's worthy of being a prodigy in Jiang County, and he actually hit the head of the case!

"Haha...... I actually hit the head of the case, haha......"

Yan Weiqing in the crowd laughed triumphantly, and his eyes were full of contempt when he looked at the others, and he had a condescending appearance.

"Congratulations to Yan Case Shou High School!", everyone congratulated one after another.

"Hey...... It's really off the list!", Lu Ming sighed helplessly.

"I'm in! I'm in!"

Chen Jun suddenly jumped up, pointed to the gold list and said, "Lu Ming, look, my name is ranked eighty-ninth! Eighty-ninth!

Lu Ming barely squeezed out a smile and arched his hand and said, "Jun Chen, congratulations!"

Yan Weiqing laughed loudly again: "There is no Lu Qiansour name on the gold list, he really fell off the list! haha...... I'll just say that Lu Qisan can't go to high school, haha......"

A person next to him said: "Young Master Yan, how can you compare with us, doesn't this damage our identity?"

"That's right, haha...... By the way, what do you call me?"

"I ...... I mean...... Yan is the first ......", the man immediately said with a smile.

"Haha...... Okay!Okay!Okay!Okay!I'll have a treat at noon, let's go to the restaurant for two drinks together!", Yan Weiqing laughed happily.

"I'm not on the list, I'm really on the list. ”

Lu Ming was a little regretful, but when he recalled his answers, there were basically no mistakes, and he should be able to go to high school.

Could it be ...... Is it really the Yan family who is playing tricks and deliberately makes himself fall off the list? If this is the case, he will never be able to go to high school in his life.

Thinking of this, Lu Ming's face was very gloomy, and he was very disgusted when he looked at Yan Weiqing's smug appearance.

Yan Weiqing walked over and said to Lu Ming, "How is it?

"Is it your Yan family's ghost?", Lu Ming asked.

"What's the matter? You don't want to sue, right? To tell you the truth, it was the county zun who made you fall off the list, you go to sue! Haha......"

Yan Weiqing spoke without scruples, and everyone else also laughed.

Lu Ming was immediately furious when he heard this, and the next moment his face returned to normal: "It's really you who made the ghost!"

"Yan Weiqing, you are simply lawless!", Chen Jun suddenly shouted angrily.

"Okay Chen Jun, no matter how angry you are, it's useless, do you think you'll be able to get a literary degree in high school? Don't forget, every year new scholars will visit the temple, and when the time comes, I will directly take away your talent and literary position, haha......"

"What are you talking about!", Chen Jun's face changed in shock.

"Otherwise, do you think you can go to high school with just your little talent? Actually, you're just a stepping stone for me, haha......"

Yan Weiqing laughed wildly and continued: "When I get the empowerment of talent and the gift of heaven, I will officially propose to Lin Xiaoyan, Lu Ming, you must come to drink a glass of wine when the time comes!"

At this time, a pleasant female voice suddenly sounded: "Yan Weiqing, I won't marry you, you will die of that heart!"

Lu Ming looked for a sound and saw a girl in a blue dress crowded in the crowd, looking to be only fifteen years old, with long dark hair reaching to her waist, and a trace of anger appeared on her delicate and beautiful little face.

"Little goose, why are you here?", Lu Ming asked in surprise.

"I'm here to see the list. ”

Lin Xiaoyan said disappointedly: "Lu Ming, you ...... You're out of the list?"

"Yes. Lu Ming nodded.

"It would be strange if he didn't fall off the list!"

Yan Weiqing said: "Lin Xiaoyan, three days later is the day to worship the temple, on that day I will personally come to the door to propose marriage, you agree or not, I don't care, as long as your father agrees, you can't go against your father's decision, right?"

"My dad won't agree to it!", Lin Xiaoyan said firmly.

"Really, then I have to try it to find out, I don't believe that he dares to refuse my Yan family!"
