was registering next to him, and someone made a commotion again, "Hey, this is the examination room of the imperial examination, what are you doing with a cripple?" You have to queue up for the exam and let your son-in-law come in person, I haven't seen any small house instead of queuing! ”

"That's right, aristocrats also have the dignity of nobles, and they can read and write to gain fame, how can such a major event be replaced by others? That is a great disrespect to the sages. ”

……

Facing the verbal criticism of countless noble children at the scene, the party blushed and defended: "I, I'm also here to take the exam." ”

Burst......

What?

The crowd couldn't help but burst into laughter, "What are you kidding?" A cripple to participate in the imperial examination? Could it be that the imperial court will arrange an official position for a person with six incomplete roots in the future? Slippery world! ”

At this time, the examiner who was in charge of maintaining order came over, "What are you arguing about?" What is the noise? This is the registration office of the imperial examination, and you are all scholars who read the books of sages, what kind of system has such a riot become? ”

"My lord, we didn't mean to stir up order. You look up, this master said that he is also here for the exam. ”

The examiner was puzzled: "It's all here for the exam, why can't he?" ”

Everyone laughed and said, "This master is lame." ”

Someone next to him said angrily: "Hey, what's wrong with the lame?" Who is not allowed to take the test if you have a leg injury? The imperial court is to seek talents, and you only see that my virtuous brother has inconvenient legs and feet, but I don't know that he has excellent knowledge and has a heart to serve the country. ”

Another person chimed in and said: "Yes, just wait for this kind of virtue, and also come to the imperial examination with a face?" If you are an official in the same dynasty as you in the future, I bah! I'm ashamed, sir. ”

The rebuke really shocked many people.

The examiner also smiled, "Yes, the young man has a good tongue and eloquence." In the future, if you pass the exam, you will be good at Honglu Temple. ”

"Ahem, the adults laughed. It's not reasonable to be loud, it's just that I'm not used to seeing grievances. But the man became humble.

The examiner nodded appreciatively, and then said loudly: "What this little brother said just now is right, there is no provision in the imperial examination that people with leg disabilities cannot participate in the examination. The saint does not stick to one pattern to reduce talents, and the heart of seeking talents for the country can be seen by the sun and the moon, and you must be good at understanding the intentions. Reading is for the sake of reason, not for you to be arrogant and to mock the sufferings of others in the past. ”

Good!

I don't know who took the lead in applauding, and then provoked bursts of praise.

"Your eloquence, my lordship...... You really should go to Honglu Temple. ”

The examiner blinked, "Hehe, no, this official is from Honglu Temple." Honglu Temple is subordinate to the Ministry of Rites, and there is a shortage of personnel for the imperial examination, so people from all over the country are sent to help. How many of you seem to be in a group? ”

"Yes, we are brothers. Late-born Huang Yaoshi, this is my junior brother Xia Huairen, and this one is also ...... Several of us are from Xiaojiazhuang Academy. ”

What???

The crowd exclaimed, "Hey, do you hear me?" They are from Xiaojiazhuang, and the lame man just now is from Xiaojiazhuang. ”

"No, so they're all students of Champion Hou?"

……

The examiner looked at the group of people seriously, and finally his gaze fell on the youngest Huang Yaoshi, "Young man, you are the youngest among them, why are you a senior brother?" ”

"Hey, by chance, I followed my mentor when I was a child. These people were late to the school and didn't want to take advantage of me, so they recognized me as a senior brother. As he spoke, he didn't forget to complain to the lame Xia Huairen: "Senior Brother Xia, I said a long time ago to help you cure your lameness, look at it, otherwise how can there be today's trouble?" ”

Xia Huairen scratched his head and said, "Senior brother, I've long been used to it. Besides, after a hundred days of breaking my muscles and bones, I don't have enough time to study, so where can I have time to delay. ”

As soon as these words came out, countless people lowered their heads in shame. Listen, people study so hard that they can't take care of their leg diseases, and we are still mocking others?

"This brother, I couldn't help it just now, I shouldn't judge people by their appearance." Someone came up in shame and apologized.

Many people came over to apologize, maybe Xia Huairen couldn't remember them at all, and he didn't care about this. But for each of them, this apology is very meaningful, and it is a repentance for their ignorance just now.

The examiner praised: "Yes, knowing mistakes can improve a lot." You and others are the pillars of my future Datang, we must think more about serving the country, and be less contaminated with the bad habit of selling fame and reputation and striving for fame and profit. ”

"Remember the teachings of your lords."

"Alright, let's get in line and register."

After the examiner finished speaking, he was about to turn around, but he couldn't help but smile at Huang Yaoshi and asked, "Your name is Huang Yaoshi?" Do you really not recognize me? ”

You are......

"Puppy?" The examiner affectionately called out Huang Yaoshi's nickname.

Huang Yaoshi carefully identified it, and the few childhood memories in his mind slowly emerged, and then he jumped up in surprise and shouted, "You are Brother Jin Yuan?" ”

That's right, the official in front of him who was transferred from Honglu Temple is not a bystander, it is Liu Jinyuan, a folk genius who became attached to Xiao Rui because of the destruction of Buddha, he and Huang Yaoshi in his childhood had the same illness, and they also met in the Buddha destruction incident.

Looking at Huang Yaoshi, who looked like a child in front of him, as if he saw the child who was a few years old again, Liu Jinyuan subconsciously wanted to reach out and pick up the person, but halfway through his hand, he found that the other party had grown up and was as tall as himself.

So he gave a hug firmly.

"Good boy, I haven't seen you for many years, if I didn't know your name, I almost didn't recognize you when I saw you."

Huang Yaoshi cried with joy and wiped a handful of tears, "Blame me, I learned art with my teacher, and I basically haven't walked out of Xiaojiazhuang over the years, I should have come out to find Brother Jin Yuan." ”

Liu Jinyuan rubbed Huang Yaoshi's head, "You can learn art with Master Hou, how much opportunity you have, of course you have to cherish it." Over the years, I have often asked Hou Ye about your news, and you have grown up every year, and Hou Ye has mentioned it to me. ”

"How about it, I just made a proposal and passed the exam, how about coming to my Honglu Temple? Brother, I am now the Shaoqing of Honglu Temple, and there is a shortage of people under him. ”

Yes?

Huang Yaoshi reminded shyly and in a low voice: "Brother Jin Yuan, what about so many people, you promise me an official position like this, isn't it?" ”

Someone next to him laughed and said, "Yes, my lord, even if this brother Tai is a disciple of the champion Hou, you can't openly cheat for personal gain." ”

Liu Jinyuan laughed and said: "Open favoritism? That's not okay, not only can it be made public, but it can't be done even if it is done for personal gain in private, and you can't do anything that violates the law of the country. This official is called being virtuous for the country, and he does not avoid it! Everyone has seen the eloquence of my younger brother just now, if he passes the exam, is he qualified to enter Honglu Temple? ”

"Of course, in front of you, I also made a promise to those present, all talents, if you think that your eloquence is good, and you are willing to come to my Honglu Temple to serve the country in the future, this official is also welcome."

Looking at the Shaoqing of Honglu Temple in front of him, a member of the fourth grade, he was so cheerful and approachable, many candidates were impressed, and they really had the courage to shout: "Okay, if I pass the exam, I will sign up for Honglu Temple." An official like an adult must be very interesting. ”

"I'm going to ...... too"

"Take Me a ......"

Liu Jinyuan arched his hand and said: "Then I will wish you all the title of the gold list." ”

At this time, Sun Wuji, the chief secretary of the ministry, walked over with a smile, "Liu Shaoqing, before the exam started, you started to rob people?" It's crooked enough. However, the distribution and appointment of officials belong to our officials, and you are not in accordance with the rules. ”

Liu Jinyuan looked at it, and hurriedly put away the easy-going side just now, and saluted respectfully, "I've seen Xiangye." How dare the lower officials trespass? Isn't this seeing that there are countless talents in this year's candidates, and my Honglu Temple is really short of people, so I took the opportunity to promote Honglu Temple. That's right, propaganda, pure propaganda. ”

The eldest grandson Wuji laughed and said: "In the end, it is the person brought out by the Hou Ye, who can be in charge of the Honglu Temple at a young age, and the old man can't find fault with you with this eloquence." I came to see the situation on the first day of the imperial examination, if there were any omissions, let's go, accompany me around. ”

Liu Jinyuan saluted and said yes, and then quickly turned around and said to Huang Yaoshi: "Dog, take the test well!" Take a champion and come back. ”

After speaking, he caught up with the eldest grandson Wuji and accompanied him on patrol.

"Ahem, Senior Brother Huang, it turns out that you still have a nickname?" A group of brothers surrounded Huang Yaoshi and sneered maliciously.

At the scene of the large-scale social death, Huang Yaoshi couldn't wait to find a place to hide at the moment, and said in his heart that when he finished the exam, he must tell Brother Jin Yuan well, I have grown up, how can I still be called a nickname?
