When the osmanthus blooms in September, it is time to release the list. The list of township examinations is also known as the "laurel list". If you are admitted, you will be a lifter, also known as B list and B subject. If you get the first place, it is "Xie Yuan". Further, the examination will be examined and the Jinshi will be called "A List". Collectively referred to as "two list of origins", it is a very high honor.

However, the highest glory of the imperial examination system does not stop there, and the first place won by the Huihui is "Huiyuan". If you get the first place in the palace examination, you will be the legendary "champion".

Xie Yuan, Hui Yuan, and Zhuangyuan, these three things add up, which is the highest glory of the imperial examination system for thousands of years, "Lianzhong Sanyuan", the entire feudal society, the supreme honor. From the Tang Dynasty to the Qing Dynasty, for thousands of years, only a dozen people won this honor. These people are no longer normal people, they are geniuses among geniuses, lucky ones among lucky ones.

Not only should the article be done well, but also the face should be good, especially the palace test at the last level, which was hand-picked by the emperor in the palace, and you don't have to think about it if you look ugly. Pan Yu once said to Xu Xian in a letter that he had this ambition, but also said that "it cannot be forced".

Pan Yu's ambition, Xu Xian naturally didn't dare to reach it, he just hoped that he could be lifted, and it was enough to eat soft rice with her when he arrived in the capital. This wish is relatively easy to achieve.

Just in time for the day of Chongyang, the chrysanthemums in the Baicao Garden are in full bloom, and the fragrance is pleasant. Xu Xian and Bai Suzhen joined hands to view the chrysanthemum, and what was placed on the stone table was the osmanthus cake that Yu Xuanji had just made and sent from the golden eagle.

Outside the courtyard, horses' hooves froze, followed by a banging on the door. Xu Xian and Bai Suzhen looked at each other and smiled, and sure enough, they were hit. The good news slapped the door open, and he was about to congratulate, but when he saw Bai Suzhen, he was stunned first, and when Xu Xian asked, he hurriedly lowered his head and replied: "Master Xu is in high school, seventy-second." He pasted the prepared newspaper on the door, and Xu Xian looked at it, "Good news to the lord of your mansion, Xu Hanwen, should take the Jiangsu Township Examination as an undergraduate, and the forty-second person in high school." Good news, pay Lianyuan. ”

Xu Xian pondered, seventy-two, which is very backward, but it also responded to Emperor Wenchang's words, which is just qualified. With his own strength, he does not plagiarize or cheat, and he is gratified to have such results.

The annunciator bowed his head and was about to leave, and he couldn't even open his mouth to ask for the most important "happy money". But Bai Suzhen stopped him, put a few taels of silver in the palm of his hand, and then rode away, rode out a long way, touched the happy money in his arms, and then breathed a sigh of relief, "How is it like the lady in the temple?"

Since Bai Suzhen practiced the "Dragon Cultivation Method", her temperament has become more and more holy and distant, although she is not the dragon power of the dragon clan, but it is also after evolution, she naturally has a sense of oppression of higher animals to lower animals, and the same is true of the principle of dragon power.

Xu Xian was raised, and many people came to say goodbye, and Xu Xiansuo set up a banquet. I made a lot of invitations, invited many acquaintances in Suzhou, enjoyed flowers and drank in the Baicao Garden, and also made a parting banquet.

The invitation was sent to the prefect's yamen, and Governor Chen was dumbfounded, he clearly remembered that he should put Xu Xian's file on the list, why was he confused or let him do it. In his heart, he was shocked, not only did he not obey King Liang's wishes, but let Xu Xian be lifted, how to explain this? Looking at the invitation in his hand, he felt more and more eyesore, and waved it under the table.

At this time, Mrs. Chen came out of the back hall, stepped forward to pick up the invitation, and said puzzledly: "My lord, Xu Xianzhongju, you should be happy, why?"

Hearing this, Mrs. Chen said angrily: "Xu Xian and we have the grace to save our lives, you actually want to help King Liang assassinate him, isn't this a grace and revenge?"

Governor Chen persuaded: "Madam, don't be angry, isn't he in the middle of the move? Now what I'm worried about is how to explain to King Liang." ”

Mrs. Chen sighed: "That's it, that's it, since you have disobeyed the will of King Liang, do you still want to sit down this official?

"No, I have worked hard for half my life to get such a prefect, I will write a letter to King Liang, and there may be no other way out. "Chen Lun is in charge of a government and holds real power. Suzhou is also a rich place, and his prefect is very oily, even if he doesn't have to worry about greedy ink, the annual harvest is quite expensive. There was no direct conflict with King Liang, so he was lucky.

Mrs. Chen tried to persuade him, but he just refused to allow it, and he was helpless.

Xu Xian held a banquet in the Baicao Garden, and when everyone came to congratulate him, they were surprised by his figure, but they were relieved when they thought about his age. But the more calm and easy-going bearing also made everyone feel broken. Among them, the most amazing is Jin Shengjie, who has watched Xu Xian change little by little, step by step. The once ordinary young man, when he slept in the willows, had changed into such a appearance. What I admire even more is Pan Yu's vision, no wonder she became friends with Xu Xian as soon as she came to the academy, and even put down other interactions, could it be that she saw through the changes?

Xu Xian thanked everyone for their care in Suzhou, and first relieved the doctors in Suzhou of the position of the head of the Three Emperors Patriarch Association, handed it over to Zheng Taisheng, and they continued to take turns. He has established authority, and naturally there is nothing to be forbidden.

Wu Renjie asked: "Shopkeeper, what about Baicaotang?" Although he followed Xu Xian to compile books, the members of the Three Emperors Patriarch were all shopkeepers of major pharmacies in Suzhou.

Xu Xian said with a smile: "Uncle Shi, I was about to say that I would ask your old man to take care of the Baicao Hall in the future." This is also his plan at the beginning, Wu Renjie has superb medical skills, and he is a rare good person, he is about to give him a big gift. And Baicao Garden has too many memories of him, Bai Suzhen, and Xiaoqing, and he doesn't want to sell it like this, and he also needs someone close to him to help take care of it.

Everyone was in an uproar, envious of Wu Renjie's good luck, Baicaotang's reputation has been beaten, as if it is already the first pharmacy in Suzhou, such a store is worth more than a thousand gold. Wu Renjie hurriedly refused, Xu Xian smiled: "This is not just for you, but also a dowry for my sister Yulian, and a heart for me as an elder brother." ”

Wu Renjie had to bear it, and only said that he would help Xu Xian take care of it, and his face was full of joy in panic.

At this time, Liao Qiu came up with wine, pulled Xu Xian's sleeve, and said, "What about what you promised me?"

Xu Xian handed him the prepared copy of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", because there were some changes in the history of the Three Kingdoms, and he didn't have enough writing to pick it up, so he simply deleted it, anyway, he felt that the later plot was relatively boring. It was handed over to Liao Qiu in this way. But he smiled and said: "I am allowed to share, but I can't miss a penny." "He's still pointing to this breadwinner!

Liao Qiu muttered: "You are so generous to others." But he first went to the side to watch, and after a while he became addicted to it, and no longer cared about any wine banquet, and when the wine banquet was over, he immediately sat in a sedan chair, and watched as he walked.

Xu Xian said goodbye to everyone, and Bai Suzhen came out and said, "Hanwen, it's not good if I don't come out!" There were so many guests, but Xu Xian asked her not to come out.

Xu Xian took advantage of the wine, touched her cheek, and said, "If you come out, we can only sit upright, not smiling, maybe we will burn incense and pray to you!"

Bai Suzhen dodged his hand, "Where is it?"

Xu Xian said with a smile: "I can't wait to take incense to offer you now, please bless the white lady, and bless me to get the mother home early." "Ming said that after going to the "Deer Ming Banquet", he can go back to Hangzhou.

In the evening, there was a violent knock on the door, Xu Xian hurriedly opened the door, Liao Qiu had red eyes, panting and grabbed Xu Xian's shoulder and said, "Below, what about below?" He was seeing the rise, but found that there was no more, as if he had been stabbed in the head, and immediately rushed to Baicao Garden to ask for the following.

Xu Xian shrugged and said, "Eunuch." ”

Liao Qiu hurriedly said: "Too, eunuch." What do you mean?"

Xu Xian's eyes looked away and said, "It's just that there's no more below." ”

Liao Qiuru's face turned pale suddenly after being struck by lightning, and he staggered back and said, "You say it again?"

Xu Xian's eyes turned, and he spread his hand and said, "It's a eunuch." ”

Liao Qiu rushed up and grabbed Xu Xian's collar, "Xu Xian, the old lady fought with you." Completely ignoring the reality that Xu Xian was a head taller than him. Bai Suzhen heard the sound and persuaded each other, and Liao Qiu calmed down.

Xu Xian gave him an idea and said, "You can make up for the rest!" Liao Qiu's eyes lit up, and he pointed at Xu Xian and said, "Okay, Xu Hanwen, count yourself ruthless." "Hurry back and make up the book.

Bai Suzhen persuaded Xu Xian: "Hanwen, that, eunuch, it's not very good!"

Xu Xian's heart moved, and he took out the merit jade plaque around his neck to see that he had lost thousands of merits, merit is the blessing of all the people, and the loss of merit is the grievance of all the people. Ling couldn't help but sigh, eunuch, it really hurts people's character! Fortunately, Liao Qiu later forgot to sleep and eat, and made up for the later ones, turning them into a book of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", so that there was no continuous loss of success.

Xu Xian stretched out his hand and pinched her cheek, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, lady, there are some things that you can't be a eunuch for." Her beautiful cheeks were slightly distorted in her hands, but she looked even more lovely in addition to holiness, which was his greatest hobby at present.

Bai Suzhen opened his hand angrily and patted his head, wondering what was going on inside.

The deer banquet is a custom of the imperial examination, and every time after the township examination, the list is released. Funded by the local government, all the people are invited to cook sheep and slaughter cattle to celebrate. In the pre-banquet song "The Book of Songs, Xiaoya", there is a sentence in "Deer Song", which says: "Yo yo deer, eat wild apples." It is said that it is a virtue for a deer to discover delicacies and not forget to share them with their companions.

The crowd took this opportunity to form a gang in the hope of taking care of them in the future. Xu Xian was quite hostile before the exam, but at this moment, he became the focus of everyone. One by one, they came up and wanted to get in touch with him. Because it is said that tomorrow's spring festival will have a high chance to be presided over by Xu Xian's teacher.

Although Xu Xian didn't have Pan Yu's skills, he tried his best to deal with it, at least he wouldn't settle a senseless grudge. But looking at the eyes of Governor Chen, who presided over this Luming meeting, he knew that some grudges were still settled. But once it's gone, it's thousands of miles away, and everything in between doesn't matter anymore.

The second day they hired large ships and carried many things. Xiaoqing, who had been missing for a long time, reappeared beside him, looking at the ancient city of Suzhou, and when he returned, he didn't know what day it was.
