Bao Cheng sighed, glared at the yin and yang and said angrily: "It's not easy for you to enter the yamen of Jingzhao Mansion, the official who passed the word is afraid that he will die inside, and he hasn't come out for more than half an hour, you can go and take a look, it is estimated that you can still bury him." ”

He Denglou grinned and laughed dryly: "Bao Gongzi is here to find Yao to join the army, let's go, I'll take Bao Gongzi in." ”

Bao Cheng leaned against the door and refused to enter, and raised his chin towards the door: "No, I have to wait for the official to come out, and the maid has taken my benefits." ”

If this official is a newcomer, thin-skinned, and does not dare to engage in some small actions to eat and take cards, and there are many errands, and he can't catch up with the chef's meals, then he will definitely be hungry this month.

To put it bluntly, the so-called Hades is so difficult to see that the little ghosts are difficult, but in fact, the people below have a meager monthly income and can't afford to support a family, so they have to point to this difficulty to save their lives.

He Denglou also understands the rules, and the officials of Jingzhao Mansion understand the rules, and they will never embarrass the people who really come to report the case, but will only make it difficult for Bao Cheng to visit like this, and at first glance, he is a rich son.

He laughed dryly twice, and coaxed Bao Cheng: "Which kid is so blind, dare to ask Bao Gongzi for benefits, go, let's go in first, I will definitely clean up that kid when I turn back." ”

He knew that the person guarding the door today was a new servant, who had just been here for less than half a month, and had just missed the day of the month's monthly salary, and he was on an errand every day when he was eating, and he was already hungry and thin.

As he spoke, he took Bao Cheng into the door of the Jingzhao Mansion Office, and as soon as he walked to the back of the shadow wall, he saw the unlucky official, wiped the oil on his mouth, and ran out in a hurry.

The little official saw He Denglou, and just after half a salute, he saw Bao Cheng next to He Denglou at a glance, and he subconsciously touched his cuffs and was stunned.

Bao Cheng raised his eyebrows and smiled, and was about to say something, but was interrupted by He Denglou.

He Denglou's face darkened, and he frightened the young servant: "What are you running, are there any rules, you have lost the face of Jingzhao Mansion, why don't you hurry up and go on an errand." ”

The little servant was completely stunned, a little unsure of which leg to take first, and his eyes kept skimming.

He Denglou seemed to be blind and couldn't see, and yelled at the little servant: "What are you still standing for, don't you go to the door to guard quickly, Lord Shaoyin will come back in a while, and he doesn't even have a horse to hold a stool." ”

The little servant didn't care to see Bao Cheng, and he ran away without a trace.

He Denglou resumed his smile on his face, turned his head to Bao Cheng and said, "This kid is new and doesn't understand the rules, so Bao Gongzi laughs." ”

Bao Cheng grinned, what else could he say, everyone ran away, and he couldn't say a word, I'm afraid that the silver will be lost.

He pursed his lips, his back molars creaked, and followed He Zhenfu to the back house.

The Jingzhao Mansion Office occupies the southwest corner of the entire Guangdefang, and the construction is extremely deep and secluded, which is divided into the layout of the front and back houses, and the back houses are easy for ordinary people to enter, and it is precisely because of this that Bao Cheng asked the officials to pass it on.

The back house was originally where Jingzhao Mansion Yin lived, but Mansion Yin basically had a rich family background, and he had his own mansion in Beijing, so he didn't need to live in the back house of the government office, and this back house slowly became idle.

This time, Liu Jinghong, the Yin of Jingzhao Mansion, became the master, retained the main house of the back house, and transformed the peripheral wing rooms and inverted seats into public houses in Jingzhao Mansion, providing them to the officials who could not afford to buy a house in the capital to live temporarily.

I have to say that this approach is still very humane.

Yao Qi joined the army and was divided into a small single room in the public house, and the ordinary officials next to him did not have such good treatment, almost all of them were two people in one room, or five people in one room.

Even so, there are many monks and little porridge in this public house, and there are often officials waiting in line to live in a house.

He Denglou asked with a smile while leading the way: "Why did Bao Gongzi come over at lunchtime, our chef's food is not very delicious." ”

Bao Cheng was thinking about something, a little absent-minded, how could he think about eating, he even forgot the feeling of hunger, he didn't care about it, and asked: "He Zhutou, Ah Qi is not in the government office at this time?" ”

He Denglou was stunned for a moment, nodded and said, "Yes, there is no errand today, Yao joined the army and did not go out." As he spoke, he reminded: "This road is a little chaotic, Bao Gongzi carefully stepped." ”

Bao Cheng hummed, stepped over a branch lying on the bluestone road, and silently followed He Denglou forward.

He Denglou is very strange, in the past, this Bao Gongzi was the most noisy, jumping up and down like a monkey, why did he change his personality today, and he was so quiet.

He glanced at Bao Cheng with his eyes, and saw that although his expression was as usual, his face was white, and he felt a little lost in his soul, and he couldn't help but be suspicious.

Not long after entering the back house, Bao Cheng saw a thin back at a glance, although his hair was combed into the appearance of a man, but at first glance, he was a girl, with an empty bowl in his hand, and was walking towards a room with a half-hidden door.

In the Jingzhao Mansion Office, except for Yao Qi, there is no second girl.

"Ahh Bao Cheng immediately put aside He Denglou, as if he saw a life-saving straw, and rushed over.

Yao Ji was stumbled by Bao Cheng, and almost fell face down on the ground, it took her a long time to stabilize her body, but the bowl in her hand was not so lucky, and it fell to the ground with a bang and shattered.

She was immediately angry, turned around and scolded Bao Cheng: "The surname is Bao, you pay for my bowl." ”

"Compensation, compensation, I'll pay you a head office." Bao Cheng touched the back of his head, and whispered in Yao Qi's ear with a solemn face.

Yao Qi's face changed, and he raised his chin towards He Denglou with a calm face.

He Denglou smiled, this is something to say, he turned around and went out to tell the officials, Yao is in a bad mood when he joins the army today, don't touch your head if you have nothing to do.

Walking into the room, Yao Qi closed the doors and windows, and said with a calm face: "You mean you got the exam questions?" ”

Bao Cheng hurriedly shushed twice: "Be quiet, don't shout." ”

He looked around as if he was a thief, took out the two pieces of tissue paper that were close to him from the placket of his clothes, and handed them to Yao Qi with shaking hands.

The writing on the paper was extremely small, densely packed with two pages.

Yao Qi didn't take what Bao Cheng said seriously, and when she saw this piece of paper at first, she was a little unimpressed, but when she looked at it, her heart sank, her hands trembled slightly, and there was horror in her voice that she didn't even realize it: "This, this thing, where did you get it?" ”

Bao Cheng was startled by Yao Qi's trance voice, opened his mouth, told the origin of these two pages one by one, looked at Yao Qi's face and asked, "Ah Qi, this, is this an exam question?" ”

Yao Qi's lips were dry, his mind was flustered, and he was a little confused, so he tried his best to calm down and asked, "Do you know which subjects to take in the provincial examination?" ”

Bao Cheng nodded: "I know, the first game, the second game, and the third game." ”

Yao Qi took a deep breath, pointed to the dense handwriting on the paper and said: "You see, this is the exam question of this scripture, this is the question of the scriptures, and this is the question of the scriptures, which are the three current policies. ”

Bao Cheng opened his mouth wide in shock, glared at Yao Qi and said, "You, you, can actually understand these Martian texts?" I just don't understand. ”

"Did you just eat in the prison? It's not even as good as me as a sin slave who came out of the court. Yao Qi glanced at Bao Cheng and scolded in a low voice.

Bao Cheng didn't feel ashamed at all, and said with a smile: "You grew up in the Ye Court since you were a child, and you studied hard for a while under the claws of the palace doctor, of course I can't compare." ”

Yao Qi sighed, calmed down in shock, twisted the corner of the paper and whispered: "However, based on these two pieces of paper alone, I haven't judged that this is the question of this year's provincial exam." ”

Bao Cheng asked puzzledly: "Why, is there a three-year simulated five-year college entrance examination in this era?" This is the mock question bank? ”

Yao Qi shook his head: "You don't know the rules of this provincial exam, today the examiner entered the curtain, can you go and see it?" ”

Bao Cheng nodded: "Go, then, what does their entry into the curtain have to do with the exam questions?" ”

Yao Qi sighed softly: "After the four chief examiners and eighteen fellow examiners entered the curtain, each of them was assigned to a separate room in the Tribute Academy, and the three exam questions of the provincial examination were all written by the four examiners on the spot, and then the craftsmen who entered the Tribute Academy at the same time printed them on the spot. She glanced at Bao Cheng, and her voice became more and more low and puzzled: "Not to mention that there are Beiya forbidden troops inside and outside the Gong Courtyard, and not even a bird can fly in, let's just say that it has only been two hours since the examiner entered the curtain, how did your father get these things, this question came out too quickly." ”

Bao Cheng suddenly realized, and exclaimed in a low voice: "Didn't you bring this question in advance." ”

Yao Qi nodded with a calm face.

Bao Cheng figured out the rules in the provincial test, obviously no longer panicked, smashed his butt on the bed, and said easily: "It's okay, I was scared to death just now." ”

Yao Qi didn't have a relaxed look, and still said worriedly: "Bao Cheng, this kind of thing can't be a fluke, if you enter the examination room and find out the problem on this paper, then you can't tell clearly." ”

Bao Cheng smiled indifferently: "What if you can't tell what?" I'm going to burn this paper, and I'm going to get it. ”

"Bao Cheng, how have you spent the past three years, how can you be so innocent." Yao Qi was speechless: "This thing is not only you alone, your cheap brother also has it, maybe someone else has it, if this is really a fraud case, even if it is only found on your brother, not on you, but this is a big crime of the Yi three clans, can you run away?" ”
