Time passed in a flash, and soon Zhusheng was arranged to go to Jinling to prepare for the exam.

This time I went to Jinling, and I didn't have Zhang Jingxian's escort.

But the teacher Li Zhijie specially sent his family to send Xu He to Jinling with his official ticket.

After Xu He arrived in Jinling, he found the champion building and stayed with peace of mind.

The champion building is a restaurant that has been contracted by Yangzhou Mansion School for a long time, which is specially used for students to eat and live during the examination.

Xie Liangcai put up a courtyard behind the champion building.

I have already left a room waiting for Xu He.

The two met just to greet each other, and then went back to their rooms to study hard.

At this time, everyone was not interested in talking, after all, the township test was the first.

In the evening, Xu He was reading "Mao's Poems", and there was a knock on the door, and Ding Ze said: "Childe, Gongzi Xie invites you to eat outside!" ”

It turned out that Xu He had just arrived, and Xie Liang was afraid that he would work the road and eat and drink well, so he specially asked the store to set up a table of banquets and invited a few familiar scholars to have a good meal together.

When Xu He arrived, he found that in addition to Xie Daozhi and a few students in the room, Gao Guoguang and Ouyang Jun were also present.

When Ouyang Jun saw Xu He, he stood up and said embarrassedly: "Bright voice." ”

Since the last school year exam, after Xu He repaid his grievances with virtue, Ouyang Jun has always been very grateful to him, and specially prepared a generous gift to send to the Xu family in Zhuangyuanfang during the Chinese New Year.

Xu He and Ouyang Jun were originally township parties, besides, in the last annual examination, although the process was a bit conflicting, the final result was also satisfactory, so Xu He also accepted Ouyang Jun's kindness, and the two have since released their previous suspicions, and it has also become a good story in Fuxue.

Xu He smiled: "Brother Keyong, how are you preparing?" Is this township test assured? ”

Ouyang Ke sighed and said, "I don't know the bottom of my heart, but I am loud, you should be nine out of ten this time, right?" ”

After everyone gave in, Xu He sat in the middle of Ouyang Jun and Xie Daozhi.

Because of the exam, Xie Liangcai didn't ask for wine, and after eating for a while, a few of Xie Liangcai's familiar students and hyperplasia went back to the room to warm their books.

Only Xie Liangcai, Xu He, Gao Guoguang and Ouyang Jun were left in the private room and had not finished eating.

Gao Guoguang said while drinking soup: "This time the main exam is Gu Shouyuan, the editor of Zuo Chunfang's Zuo Shuzi Hanlin Academy,"

Xie Liangcai nodded and said: "Gu Shouyuan is also the concubine of Chunfang, although the Hanlin Academy did not mention it, but after this township test, he should be able to transfer to the Hanlin Academy." ”

Maybe many people don't understand what Chunfang Shuzi is.

Chunfang is actually the name of the prince's east palace, and in the national dynasty, it refers to the small [Hanlin Courtyard] of the prince's east palace.

After the beginning of the country, the Hanfang merged, and the Chunfang officials were generally transferred to the Hanlin Academy, and the situation like Gu Shouyuan was more typical.

first promoted the position in the Prince's East Palace, and then raised the position of the Hanlin Academy after the experience.

There are so many people in the Hanlin Academy, but being able to serve as the official of Chunfang shows that the emperor still values you very much, and puts you next to the prince to exercise, if this situation is not unexpected, Gu Shouyuan has the possibility of entering the cabinet.

Xie Liangcai looked at Gao Guoguang and Ouyang Jun at this time, as if he didn't care, and whispered in Xu He's ear: "I heard that this Master Gu is a Jinshi in the last year of Ding!" ”

Xu He didn't pay attention at first, but when he heard Ding Mo Jinshi, Xu He immediately became convinced.

After chewing on the meaning of Xie Liangcai's words, he suddenly realized that his teacher was a Jinshi in the end of Ding, and this Master Gu should be the same year as Li Zhijie.

No, it may even be a friend, or ...... one of the "Ten Sons of Ding".

Thinking of this, Xu He's heart moved.

But soon he calmed down.

Xie Liangcai knows the news, and he can't hide it from those who have a heart.

In this township test, you must be cautious and must not go wrong.

At this time, Xie Liangcai and Gao Guoguang also finished eating, and after they left, only Xu He and Ouyang Jun were left in the room.

Just as they were about to leave after eating, they suddenly heard two small voices from the private room next door.

One of them said: "Childe, you can rest assured, we pay attention to a fire to the point of rotten, and the money will not delay your business after all!" ”

Hearing this, Xu He and Ouyang Junben didn't take it seriously, they only thought that someone might be talking about some business.

But after thinking about it, this is not right, the champion building has been contracted by the students of their Yangzhou Mansion, who will talk about any business at this time?

But Xu He didn't want to be nosy, and was about to leave, but who knew that the other side spoke again: "Eight hundred taels of silver, this is already a lot, don't worry, I'm not a greedy person, I won't give goods to others, I will guarantee you a solution yuan, and the exam will be settled." ”

When Xu He and the others heard this, they didn't even dare to move.

I didn't expect to have a meal, and I even heard that someone was cheating.

Xu He thought to himself that he probably saw Xie Liangcai and the others leaving, and the two of them thought that there was no one next door, so they were here to communicate.

At this time, another person said: "Just give two words above, both are less!" ”

After finishing speaking, there was a sound of rustling next door, Xu He and Ouyang Jun held their breath and stared, not daring to make a little movement, after a long time, they saw that there was no sound, and then they walked out of the private room door with a solemn face.

The matter was very important, and the two of them had no mind to speak.

Xu He walked while thinking about the conversation between the two just now.

Especially the last sentence, there are two words on it, both of which are less.

The front is very easy to understand, the so-called above, should be the person who leaked the question, as for who it is, it's hard to say, it may be the main examiner, it may be a promotion, and it may even be the printer.

But it's hard to guess without these two words.

Xu He estimates that it is definitely not the word "all less", but it is just a homonym.

When the two walked to a secluded place, Ouyang Jun suddenly stopped and said, "Liangsheng, this is ......"

Seeing that he was about to speak, Xu He hurriedly shook his head and motioned him not to speak.

The two came to the backyard and went directly to Xie Liangcai's bedroom.

Seeing Xie Liangcai reading by the bedside, Xu He waited for Ouyang Jun to come in, and hurriedly closed the door.

Xie Liangcai saw that the two of them had bad faces and were mysterious, so he asked, "What's wrong?" What's wrong? ”

So Xu He told him what happened after he left.

Xie Liangcai was shocked when he heard this: "This, how can it be ......?"

Everyone was silent for a while, they were all experiencing this kind of thing for the first time, and they were also at a loss in their hearts.

At this time, Xu He suddenly said: "I know what that person said." ”

Ouyang Jun asked, "Liangsheng, are you talking about the word [Du Shao]?" ”

Xu He nodded and said to him: "Du Shao is not [Du Shao] at all, but a bucket!" ”

"Bucket basket?"

Xu He nodded and said: ""Make Liaolu Southern Dynasty Steep Han" cloud: "Bi said: 'The weapon of the minister's fighting basket is not enough; The talents of this dynasty are better than those of the ministers, and the volume of the car is counted! ”

The two still didn't understand what it meant.

Xu He explained: "Buckets and baskets are both weighing instruments for grain! ”

Xie Liangcai suddenly realized: "You are talking about the [Dou Shao's disciples, why choose the [Dou Zong]?" ”

Xu He nodded.
