Zhang Jingxian's face is really not covered, since Xu He and they went to the government room to report.

Yangzhou Wei and Hailing County escorted Xu He and them back to the command yamen.

As soon as he entered, Sun Yanshi asked people to come in with five cages.

"Lord Sun? This is? Xu He wondered.

Sun Yanshi smiled: "This is the command of the envoy before leaving, saying that the sons are all scholars to take the exam, and they should have sent the exam in person, but the army gate temporarily recruited each other, and they were not allowed to meet, so I prepared some pen, ink, paper, inkstone and snacks for the exam to eat, and one person packed an exam box, and several people took it with them during the exam." ”

Chu Yuan and the others were flattered, and hurriedly bowed down to thank them.

Xu He said: "Lord Meng Chen's blue eyes, Lord Shi is bothered, Xu He is inscribed!" ”

When he returned to the room, Xu He put the cage on the table and looked at it carefully.

I saw that the box was very heavy, with five drawers up and down, and a strap on the back.

This is generally carried by the bookboy of the reader, and then carried by the candidate when he arrives in the examination room.

Xu He opened the top layer and saw that there were six fine lake pens inside, and the inkstones and ink blocks were the best on the market.

The lower layers are filled with a variety of dim sum served in small plates.

Xu He smiled when he saw this.

The government examination of the Great Wei Dynasty was similar to the county examination, and only one test was taken, so the most important first test was completed in one day, and there was no need or permission to bring so many snacks.

It is estimated that the people under Sun Yanshi thought that the exams were like the township exams and the exams, and the candidates had to bring quilts or something after the exam.

Sure enough, when I opened the largest drawer on the bottom floor, a small futon appeared in front of me.

Xu He closed the drawer of the exam box and put it back on the cabinet on the east wall, and no longer cared about it.

But after a while, Sun Yanshi hurriedly walked in from outside, and as soon as he arrived in front of Xu He's door, he shouted in a low voice: "Xu Gongzi, Xu Gongzi, you come out!" ”

Xu He thought that something bad had happened and hurriedly went out, but who knew that Sun Yan said with joy on his face: "The imperial court has arrived in Yangzhou Mansion, and it is said that it is for rewarding meritorious people for the last time Hailing County rejected thieves!" Lord Qincha is resting in the Yangzhou Post House, and the big and small officials have already gone to visit Lord Qincha! ”

Xu He hurriedly said, "Is there any news about the content of the holy decree?" ”

Sun Yanshi nodded: "It is said that the prefect Zhou Yi, Haidao Zhang Bingxian, the Yunsi Yamen Ge Yunju, and the Hailing County Order Li have all been rewarded!" ”

"That's right!" Sun Yanshi added, "I heard that Gongzi, you are also on the list of rewards!" You are ready to prepare, if Lord Qincha knew that you were in Yangzhou Mansion, maybe he would summon you in advance for questioning! ”

Xu He nodded, this news is not good for him, and it is even more bad.

is a common man with no fame, even if he is rewarded, it is just a vain thing.

But incumbent officials such as Zhou Yi and Ge Youli, even if they are named and praised, this will have a lot of benefits for their future careers.

However, the only consolation is that the teacher and Zhang Bingxian are also in this holy decree of reward.

Sure enough, after a while, a small flag officer of Jinyi Wei quickly informed Yangzhou Wei and asked if there was a schoolchild named Xu He inside, saying that Lord Qincha had invited him.

Sun Yanshi hurriedly called Xu He out and followed the comer.

On the way there, Xu He touched some loose silver from his bag and handed it to the little flag officer, asking him about Lord Qincha.

The little flag got the silver, and his eyes were smiling: "So that the prince knows, this time the Qincha is the general envoy and the right attendant of the Ministry of Rites, Zeng Dayou Zeng, just now I listened at the door, Yangzhou Wei has an adult happened to be in the team to greet the Qincha, and heard the Zeng Lord say the name of the son, so he said that the son is temporarily staying in Yangzhou Wei to prepare for the exam, so the Lord Qincha asked me to find the son to ask!" ”

After figuring out the ins and outs of the matter, Xu He felt a lot more at ease.

As soon as I arrived at the door of the post station, I saw a green and red sedan chair parked outside the courtyard, and there were some guards with knives and soldiers carrying the guard of honor leaning against the wall to rest.

After entering the door, after the small flag was spread, Xu He walked into the resting place of Lord Qincha.

As soon as I entered the door, I saw all the officials of all sizes in Yangzhou City standing beside me.

But Xu He noticed that there was no salt patrol among these people.

He has been living in seclusion recently, and he doesn't know the news about this, but Kong Yiyuan is not there at this time, combined with what the teacher and uncle said that day, it is estimated that he has been suspended from his post because of staying in the painting boat at night.

At this time, Xu He looked at the hall and saw a white-faced and long-haired man sitting on it.

Xu He walked into a group of [beasts] with a white ding, and instantly attracted the attention of all the officials present.

Zeng Dayou smiled when he saw this and said, "You are Xu He!" ”

As soon as these words came out, Xu He suddenly felt that a gaze was shooting at him in the front row.

He looked up slightly, and saw Zhou Yi, the prefect of Yangzhou who had seen him outside Hailing City that day, smiling at him.

Xu He didn't have time to look more, leaned over and arched his hand: "I've seen Lord Qincha." ”

Zeng Dayou said with a smile: "I heard someone in Beijing reciting a poem called "Lime Yin", which is said to have been written by you? Is there such a thing? ”

Xu He nodded: "Exactly!" ”

Zeng Dayou looked left and right, smiling: "I didn't expect that my Great Wei Dynasty also produced a top poetic talent, which is rare!" ”

When the surrounding officials heard this, they immediately echoed and laughed.

Zeng Dayou said to Xu He: "Among the holy decrees of this official, there are those who are sentenced to the Yangzhou prefect and the salt division in Yangzhou Mansion, and there is one letter that is going to Hailing County to Haidao, the county order and you, you can take the test with peace of mind, and when you go home after the exam in two days, the official just announced the decree, and double happiness is coming!" ”

Xu He hurriedly bowed his head and thanked Zeng Dayou.

Seeing and seeing, Zeng Dayou asked Xu He to go back.

When Xu He came out of the house, he heard Lord Zeng's tone change coldly: "What's going on with this Xue Cao?" The Holy Lord and the cabinet took him back to Beijing for trial, and you told the official that he hanged himself? ”

Xu He had already walked into the courtyard at this time, and he couldn't hear the echo in the room, but he could vaguely hear that it was Ge Youli answering.

When he walked to the door, he suddenly found that the annoying Zhou Gongzi was riding on a horse and seemed to be waiting for someone.

When he saw Xu He, he was not surprised at all, and the smile on his face full of acne marks was particularly disgusting: "Yo, Xu He, the reward of the imperial court has come down?" I heard that there is something else about you here? It's a pity that you are not an incumbent official, otherwise it would not be difficult to mention it through this matter. ”

Xu He smiled: "This doesn't bother Gongzi Zhou, but Gongzi Zhou, are you also summoned by Lord Mengqincha?" ”

By pretending to be suddenly enlightened, he joked: "Oh! I remember, this matter doesn't seem to have anything to do with Zhou Gongzi? Don't block the door of the post house if you have nothing to do with it, it's not good to disturb the rest of Lord Qincha! ”

Zhou Gongzi was furious when he heard this, this Xu He was really damaged, and when he said this, he was just mocking himself for being a gentleman who relied on his father's shade to eat.

He smiled coldly and said to Xu He: "You, if someone hadn't been protecting you, what would you be?" It's just two days for you to be proud for the time being, by the way, don't leave yet, I heard that your guard Wu Decao is looking for you everywhere, I'll ask someone to help you find him! ”
