The reason why Li Yu did this was that he suddenly let go of this case of fraud in the imperial examination, for no other reason, it was because of the paper, because the previous little obsession had not dissipated.

It's a pity that such an article appeared on the county exam papers of schoolchildren, and Mingzhu secretly cast it, and the place where it really appeared should be on the selection examination of Hanlin Bachelors.

This is Li Yu's little bit of obsession. He believed that if such a sentence of atmospheric luck appeared in the paper selected by his Hanlin Academy, then it would be almost a sure thing for him to be selected as a bachelor of Hanlin Academy.

Of course, he Li Yu can't plagiarize it all. Since this article has appeared in the world and appeared in the county examination room, then it must have been registered with the spirit of the Temple of Literature, and the reader should burn his manuscript of the article in the Temple of Literature, in addition to offering sacrifices to the Temple of Literature and writing with pictures, there is also a message to the Spirit of the Temple of Literature that this article is mine, and if it is fake, others shall not counterfeit it, similar to the patent application of later generations.

And the spirit of the Temple of Literature in the world is common, since this article has been registered with the Spirit of the Temple of Literature, if he Li Yu copies it all, he will definitely not be able to pass it on the Spirit of the Temple of Literature.

However, this matter can be taken as a trick, as long as the general meaning is correct, and the text is slightly changed, so that to a large extent, it can successfully pass the judgment of the spirit of the Temple of Literature, perhaps the spirit of the Temple of Literature will think that this is a reference, not plagiarism?

Of course, it is easy to be bullied by the heavens, and it is difficult to be bullied by the people, but the eyes of the masses are bright, if someone reports and exposes, this matter will be a big scandal, so Li Yu will repeatedly ask Liu Chaozong to seal this volume in the dust and not see the world. And Liu Chaozong was also worried that this excellent colorful insect text that had been crossed by himself would appear in the world, which would attract criticism and be a big scandal, so the two hit it off and reached a tacit understanding on this matter.

After inspecting the county for a few days, the school official and his entourage went home, and nothing happened, and there was no storm, storm, or storm, as some people expected, and it can be said that the thunder was loud and the rain was small.

This made a lot of people gloating and watching a good show disappointed, and some people were unwilling, and the rumors that the school officials were favoritism and fraud, and harbored and connived at the fraud in the science field gradually began to spread, but this matter was severely suppressed by the county order Liu Chaozong, and it did not set off any more storms, but some people were still unwilling and threatened to continue to sue Yunyun.

After the departure of the scholar and his entourage, a few days later, seeing that everything was calm and nothing happened, at the North Pavilion Office of Qinghe Academy, the mountain chief Song Ximing convened a cadre of the academy to discuss, and the discussion was still about the departure and retention of a certain "problem student".

After a fierce debate, in view of the instructions of the Scholar that "it is not appropriate to do anything", and there was no other instruction after that, out of the intention of calming things down and harmonizing everything, the academy finally did not pass a resolution to expel someone, but only gave a warning of "staying in the academy for half a year", which was regarded as a gentle revelation of the matter.

The flowers bloom and fall, time flies, the grass and trees on the mountain are yellow, the leaves are all over the mountain, the water in the river is clear, the fish are fatten, and the seedlings in the field are full of heavy ears of grain, waiting for the farmers to harvest.

This is a harvest season, looking at the heavy crops in the field, the farmers of Shahe Village are all smiling, not more unfavorable than last year's weather, this year's wind and rain are smooth, it is undoubtedly a bumper harvest year.

Among the peasants in Shahe Village, the happier ones should be the tenants of the Jiang family, and the rent in other places is at least 30%, while the rent of the Jiang family is only 20%, and they are all good and good land, which makes other farmers envious, and they are eager to plant the Jiang family's fields.

Of course, there are also people who doubt that the Jiang family said well, seeing that this year's harvest is good, will they regret the change of hexagram and continue to collect 30% of the rent according to the custom, the Jiang family made a rent at the beginning, everyone in the village knows, I heard that after the Jiang family's little brother was born as a child, those tenants took the initiative to burn the deed of the rent, although the Jiang family said that the rent in the future is 20%, but it is empty and unsubstantiated, and there is no evidence, who knows if it should be true.

Many people watched coldly, ready to see the joke of the Jiang family, most people still think that the little brother of the Jiang family is going to break his promise in the end, this year is a rare bumper year, who sees the heavy ears of rice in the ground, who doesn't like to love and pity, this is less than one percent of the rent, but there is a lot less benefit, can his Jiang family be so stupid, he doesn't want the rent of the eight classics, he has to send it out?

Hearing that the family began to collect rent, Jiang Yun specially rushed back from the academy. It has been more than half a year since Nati Xueguan Li Yu inspected the county middle school affairs, and the academy gave the punishment of staying in the hospital for half a year.

In the past six months, Jiang Yun has lived in a simple and low-key manner, usually just busy with his homework, going back and forth between the academy and his home, and not mixing with other poems and singing and literary club gatherings, of course, with his notorious reputation, he can't be mixed in.

Because he was low-key, so low-key that he almost made people forget the existence of this person, so he didn't make any jokes, so more than half a year has passed, and the punishment of staying in the academy for half a year has also been revoked, and he still stays in the academy to study.

In the past six months, Jiang Yun has gained a lot, at least he has made great progress in his studies. At the beginning, in the monthly and quarterly exams of the students of the East Pavilion, he could only be reduced to the bottom of the list, just like Zhu Ming and Zhong Dayong, who dominated the bottom of the list in the West Pavilion before.

But judging from the trend, his ranking is gradually rising, and in the latest monthly examination, his ranking entered the top fifteen in the East Pavilion for the first time, from this point, it can be seen that his studies are indeed growing.

Of course, this is only on the premise that he does not cheat, if he wants to cheat, if the college professor does not give him a top three, top five, and first place, it will be difficult to greet him in person.

Everything else is okay, the only thing that makes him haunted is that his cultivation has not made much progress, and he has not yet passed it, and the main cultivator has been practicing the Hand Shao Yin Heart Sutra for more than half a year, and he is still in a state of stagnation, according to this momentum, it will take at least half a year of hard work to completely get through.

It is already so difficult to get through the first classic, and to get through the four classics, I don't know when it will be, let alone the twelve canons.

Looking at it this way, Jiang Yun felt that even if he could win the show in the college exam in the early spring of next year, it would be a joke, it was not uncommon for show talents to not enter the stream, but if you have seen a show talent who is not familiar with the twelve serious things, this is simply a strange news.

Jiang Yun couldn't help but secretly worry about his future, and began to doubt in his heart whether his original choice was correct, he didn't listen to the persuasion of the spirit of the Temple of Literature, and he had to learn this I Ching to wash the marrow, everyone made it clear that this I Ching marrow cleansing recipe can only be learned by the body of a saint with nine yin and nine yang meridians, and he is not a saint at all.

And the technique of borrowing his qi that he expected has never happened, it seems that such a good thing is not so easy to happen, it is a matter of encounterability but not seeking, and he even doubts that as an outsider, whether this legendary technique of borrowing his qi is immune to him cannot happen at all.

"Childe, you're back. Seeing him go home, Gu Bo welcomed the other party into the house, and the maid Youlan poured hot tea and brought it up. After more than half a year of recuperation, Gu Bo's foot injury has healed, and there is no problem with walking, but he can't run fast for a while.

"Well, I heard that the family collects rent, so I'll come back and take a look. Jiang Yun sat down, took a sip of tea and said.

Gu Bo said: "Childe just concentrate on his studies, this matter of collecting rent is old, and it will be done properly, and he will not make mistakes, and Childe does not need to be distracted." ”

Of course, Jiang Yun believed in the other party, as an old housekeeper, he didn't know how many times he had done this rent collection, so nothing would go wrong.

"Childe is the matter of keeping the rent in count?" Gu Bo asked tentatively, although Jiang Yun had said before that the Jiang family's rent would be reduced to two percent in the future, but it was just empty talk at the beginning, and there was no empirical evidence, and now there are many rumors in the village that seeing this year's bumper year, the Jiang family is going to break their promise.

When Jiang Yun put down these words, Gu Bo was somewhat resistant in his heart, after all, it has always been a common practice to rent three percent, why should he have to be a maverick and not collect two percent of the rent, not only this year, but also in the future.

However, Jiang Yun is a family member, and when he said that, the words have already come out, and it is not easy for him to regret it, and he is not good at saying anything, but now he thinks that the other party has the intention of repenting, but he thinks that this move is inappropriate.

Gongzi is now a child, a saint disciple of the Eight Classics, a scholarly character, naturally to pay attention to reputation and decency, this word of faith and righteousness cannot be defaced at all, since he said so at the beginning, he can no longer regret it, otherwise he will go back on his word, wouldn't it be a joke.

What's more, he has figured it out now, even if it is reduced to two percent of the rent, there is nothing bad, he has also heard that his son's reputation in Shilin is not very good, if this matter can add some good reputation to the son, it is also earned, this good reputation is not comparable to the benefits of a one-percent rent.

However, his speculation was naturally divergent, of course Jiang Yun didn't want to regret the amount of rent, he came back to take a look, to put it bluntly, he just wanted to experience the feeling of the landlord's old wealth collecting rent, which was also a bad taste.

"Uncle Gu, I have heard some gossip, and I would like to state that in the future, the rent of the Jiang family will be 20%, and there will be no change. Jiang Yun said.

Gu Bo nodded, just said "yes", no objection.

"Uncle Gu, Xiaolan!" At this time, a crisp call came from the courtyard, and with the shout, a pretty village girl walked in from outside, not Wang Xiulian.

"Ah, the owner!" Seeing that Jiang Yun was also in the house, Wang Xiulian hurriedly saluted and said, "Today, the owner collects rent, I'll take a look and help out." ”

"Isn't Miss Wang here to pay the rent? Jiang Yun joked.

Wang Xiulian also smiled and said: "Of course, the rent has to be paid, but can this rent be lowered a little more." ”

Jiang Yun waved his big hand and said: "It's easy to say, it's easy to say, this year's wind and rain are smooth, the grains are abundant, it is a big harvest year, and the rent of Miss Wang's family will be free, thank you!"

The maid next to her, Youlan, covered her mouth and laughed, Wang Xiulian also laughed, and then said seriously: "Don't joke around, the word Qin is not something that can be said nonsense!"

Jiang Yun said indifferently: "It's okay, it's okay, the emperor's ears are not so big, I can't hear it." "Here, the power of the scholar is very strong, and the authority of the relative emperor is not so majestic, and a few innocuous jokes are nothing.

After a pause, he said solemnly: "But what I said just now is not a joke, Miss Wang's rent will be free." ”

Wang Xiulian said with a smile: "How can this work, this doesn't make sense, the rent always has to be paid." ”

Jiang Yun said: "Speaking of which, in the past half a year, Miss Wang has helped the Jiang family a lot, isn't it enough to pay the rent, this is always a reason." ”

Wang Xiulian said: "One yard is one yard, this rent still has to be paid, and besides, I actually didn't help much, just some small favors." Yes, the rent is ready, so I'm going to talk to my grandfather and pick the rent. ”

Without further ado, he turned around and hurried out of the house.

Jiang Yun turned his head to look at Youlan, the maid on the side, and said, "Xiaolan, why don't you go and tell Miss Wang again, her family has helped us a lot during this period, and I am really embarrassed to accept her family's rent." ”

Youlan pursed her lips and said unhappily: "I won't go, I won't listen to what I said about Sister Xiulian." ”

Jiang Yun said: "What, can you bear to accept the rent of Miss Wang's house? It's rare that Miss Wang has always been so kind to you and has taken care of you." ”

Youlan said confidently: "This is not the same thing! Isn't it natural for a tenant to pay rent, if Sister Xiulian doesn't pay the rent, why does she call you the owner? If you don't let her pay, she will feel uneasy, thinking that her family dislikes it, and she doesn't want her family to plant our land." ”

Jiang Yun couldn't help but be speechless when he heard this, what kind of logic is this, but he knows that this matter can't be forced, so he has to stop.

Soon he heard a noise outside, he walked out, only to see that Wang Xiulian really picked a load of millet to come, Uncle Wang followed behind, looking at a girl's family carrying a heavy load of grain, Jiang Yun couldn't help but sigh, and hurriedly stepped forward to beckon the other party to put it down, but Wang Xiulian didn't care about it, and kept carrying it into the yard before letting it go.

"How many catties is this load of grain?" Jiang Yun asked, with a look of admiration.

"Two hundred catties! The proprietor weighs the scales!" Miss Wang put down her burden, her face was a little ruddy, and her mouth was a little panting.

"You don't need a scale, just put it into storage. Jiang Yun said.

"Well, this big burden is only a lot more than two hundred catties!" Gu Bo also walked over at this time, glanced at the burden a few times, looked at the color of the grain, and made a conclusion, he is an old experience, and he is naturally familiar with doing such a thing. (To be continued.) )
