Volume 1 Cachumens Chapter 29 Human Counting

The Beijing examination of the Great Chu State Imperial Examination has been carried out to the last day.

In the past few days, the eyes of the entire Great Chu State have been focused on the more than five hundred people from the sixteen counties, even if it is a major event in other countries, it is nothing compared to the exams they are taking.

Once every three years, among these people, the most talented and fastest-promoted talents in the entire Great Chu State will appear, the former is of great significance to idealists, and the latter is of great value to realists.

In just a few months, an ordinary scholar may be like a carp jumping over the dragon gate, and the changes in this are like tricks!

Therefore, whenever the imperial examination is held, there are people from various factions in the DPRK and China who pay close attention to the candidates who are rushing to take the examination, hoping to seize the most valuable ones among these potential stocks that are ready to go, tie them to the chariot of their own faction, and turn them into a lasting and strong driving force, so that the big ship they are in is more solid and reliable, carrying themselves to soar together, rich and long.

Among all the moves, Lin Lu Mountain from Zhaoyang County has received the most attention from all sides.

His talent is dazzling, and his age is amazing, and the fact that he is not yet married has made many unscrupulous forces in order to win over talents see an opportunity.

Among the various relationships in the world, the marriage relationship is undoubtedly a very strong one. If Lin Lushan marries his own daughter, then even if he doesn't care about his son-in-law, others have to be scruples when considering problems.

As for a daughter...... Isn't it true that a daughter is born to get married? Lin Lushan is not very old, good-looking, good conduct, and talented, with an infinitely bright future...... Where to find such a good husband!

In a restaurant not far from the examination room of the Ministry of Rites, in two private rooms far apart, there are two groups of people with different backgrounds but similar ideas.

"Father, do you really want to marry your sister to the one surnamed Lin?" In the private room on the north side, a tall and mighty young man couldn't help but persuade when he saw his father staring at the examination room thoughtfully, "This is too hasty!" ”

"The opportunity is fleeting, if you don't bet now, it will be too late when the dust settles." The person who said this was a middle-aged man who was also tall and mighty, his deep eyes revealed shrewdness, and he had cultivated a momentum of not being angry and self-imposing for a long time, "All countries in the world have a tradition of catching sons-in-law under the list, but I don't know how to catch sons-in-law when the list is released, it is just the icing on the cake, there are not many of him, and there is not much of him." ”

"But what if he doesn't get the top prize?"

"If you don't pass the test, you won't pass the test, what's the matter." The old man said lightly, "With his talent, with me helping him pave the way, at most he will start a little slower, and it will be a matter of time before he soars." ”

"And don't you know how much His Majesty Lu Dao attaches importance to their Lin family? Ji Shihou went into the mountains to seek the Tao and did not perform the ordinary dust, but after all, we were born in the Great Chu State, and there was always a bit of incense. As long as he wins over his relatives and friends, he will inevitably take care of our Great Chu Kingdom in the future......"

"That's too far! Maybe when Ji Shihou became an immortal, even I was already old. ”

"It's far away for individuals, but not for countries." The old man smiled and taught his son, "For people, ten years is a long time; But for the country, 50 or 100 years is nothing. If you can exchange the glory of the Lin family for the kindness of Ji Shihou to the Great Chu State, how can you earn it! ”

"Not to mention...... Lin Lushan is a unique genius since the founding of my Great Chu State! ”

"Yes...... I always have to ask my sister if she wants to...... Maybe she's got someone she likes......"

"Ridiculous!" The old man's face showed anger, and he reprimanded his son very unceremoniously, "I know that you love your sister, and I hope she can find a man she likes, but people like us, where are we qualified to pursue these!" and glory, wealth and stability, and indulgence and pleasure, dare to love and hate...... What are you doing as a court? When our home is what it is! ”

"I have long known that you like to make friends with those rangers, and you also like to go to the teahouse to listen to the commentary. I've been thinking that nothing big will happen to Hengzhu, so I don't bother to care about you, I can't imagine that you are so confused, and take those peddlers and pawns listening and laughing seriously! A story is a story, can't it be taken seriously? I really don't know what you have in your head? Tofu dregs? ”

He scolded all the time, only to scold his son so much that he couldn't raise his head, and then he lost his anger. After taking a sip of tea, he said with a pleasant face: "Ah Lei, you are stupid, you can't learn literature, you can only be a general." After I am a hundred years old, there will always be someone in the court who can take care of you. As long as Lin Lushan becomes our son-in-law, even if it is for the sake of your brother and sister's affection, he will pull you along. ”

"In that case, even if you die for your father, you will be blinded!"

"But my father didn't have so many colleagues and students......

"Humph! Those who tend to be inflammatory, can only share prosperity and prosperity, but not hardship. It's okay to pull them together to refuel when it's good, but if you want to pull them together to resist when you're in trouble, they'll run faster than a rabbit! ”

"Isn't Lin Lu Mountain different?"

"Of course! That young man is soft on the outside and strong on the inside, he is a square gentleman, as long as he is a friend of you, even if the sky falls, he will help you carry it, even if he is crushed to pieces with you, there will be no complaints! is the most reliable kind of person! ”

"Father, you said him too well......"

"I have been an official for my father for decades, and I am still very confident in my eyesight!" The old man smiled slightly, and his eyes suddenly tightened, "It's almost time, keep an eye on it, he's about to come out - remember what I commanded, right?" ”

"Remember, child!"

"That's good, let's do itβ€”remember! The wealth of our historian for decades, your future peace, and your sister's happiness in life depend on your performance this time! ”

The young man sighed, and was about to leave, when his eyes suddenly widened, and he pointed to the pink-clothed girl who was waiting outside the examination room of the Ministry of Rites and asked, "Father, what about the woman?" She picks him up here every day, and it seems that she has a lot of affection for him. ”

"Phew!" The old man was angry, picked up the tea bowl that he had just taken a sip of and smashed it towards his son, "If it weren't for that woman, why would I let you rob someone!" ”

And the group in the other private room was also ready at the moment.

"Do you remember what I commanded?" The young man in brocade at the head asked coldly, "There is no room for error in this matter, in case something goes wrong...... I don't need to say more, right? ”

The big men who knelt on the ground in front of him nodded again and again, and answered one after another.

"Lin Lushan is a good talent, and he has the value of wooing, so you have to bring him back to me. As long as I brought it into the palace, tied it up and threw it on the bed of one of my sisters, the raw rice was cooked rice. Give him a gut, and he doesn't dare to admit it after sleeping with the county lord! The young man said what should have been funny, but there was no smile in his eyes, "I always thought those girls were annoying and stupid, I didn't think they would be of such use......"

Big men, look at me, I look at you, don't dare to talk.

"Father has a lot to do this time, and it will take a lot of talents after it is done. Catch a few more now, and save yourself from having no one to clean up the mess after the bloody river is killed in the future. The young man said, his gaze suddenly resting on the pink figure, and his eyebrows furrowed.

"The woman's ...... It seems that he has a very unusual relationship with him......" He groaned slightly, and his eyes were full of fierceness, "Kill her, and be neat with your hands and feet." ”

"Huh?!" This order was a bit exaggerated, and the big man at the head couldn't help but let out a low cry, and dared to ask, "Kill people outside the gate of the Ministry of Rites?" ”

"Nonsense! Constantly thinking about him, how can he guarantee his loyalty to our family? The young man said lightly, "If necessary, I plan to kill his parents together, lest he get into trouble if he doesn't stand on his father's side!" ”

"It's too ......"

"Don't be verbose! You know what! People who do big things must be ruthless first! The young man disdainfully criticized the ignorance of his subordinates, and raised his head high, as if he was very remarkable, "to see clearly, to hold firmly, to withstand, and to do ruthlessly." If you want to achieve a career, how can you be a mother-in-law! ”

As he spoke, his eyes looked at the pink figure again, hesitating whether to tie the other party into one of his secret strongholds for a living, but ambition still overpowered lust after all.

Turning his head away from the somewhat dazzlingly beautiful figure, he coldly ordered: "Let's go!" ”

A group of big men agreed in unison, and then rushed out.

Lin Lushan naturally didn't know that the prime minister of the Dao Dynasty and the prince who was preparing to usurp the throne were all eyeing him, and he was full of ambition at the moment, walking confidently on the way out of the examination room.

The location of the examination room of the Ministry of Rites is very deep, from the examination room to the gate, turning around, almost a mile away.

After three exams, he felt that he did well in the exams and gave full play to his level, and he should - at least not worse than in the county exam.

He didn't turn a deaf ear to what was going on outside the window, and he knew very well that his level was probably the best in this imperial examination, unless someone played particularly well, or the examiner particularly preferred a certain move, otherwise he would be the top judge in this department...... Probably none other than yourself!

People are in good spirits and in a happy mood, and their steps are naturally a little faster. He walked through the long corridor, walked through the courtyard between flowers and trees, and walked out of the vermilion gate.

Before he went out, he saw Dan'er and his eldest brother waiting for him from a distance with a few servants, and when he came out in good spirits, everyone was happy.

He walked towards that side happily, and was about to wave his hand to say hello, when the jade talisman that had been hanging on his chest suddenly became hot, and then Wu Jie's voice came.

"Old Five, are you in the capital? If you are here, hurry up and take your uncle and aunt out of town! Don't delay for a moment! Wu Xie's voice was anxious and a little uneasy, "I have a little trouble here, I'll pick you up after it is solved - remember, leave now!" Don't delay! ”
