Chapter 15 Guarantees
Shen Qi's eight characters also made Ye Shude and others deeply shocked, especially Ye Shude, the prefect of Quanzhou, pressed on the edge of the water-patterned paper with one hand, stared at the handwriting on the paper and repeated in a low voice:
"People are not for themselves, the heavens and the earth will be destroyed, what a strong pen power!"
The word "for" here pronounces the second sound.
At Ye Shude's words, he suddenly felt that his eyes lit up, and a dazzling pen power essence emerged from between these eight characters, and then he saw that the essence of the pen power rose to a height of more than two zhang, and a scorching wave of air suddenly ignited the desk under the water-patterned paper.
With a bang, the sandalwood desk was instantly wrapped in a vigorous flame, and the sleeve of the nearest Ye Shude was immediately ignited, but he shook it violently, and his body exploded away.
In the very short time that he retreated, Zhang Yaowen and the others were also repelled by the impact of the pen, and everyone stabilized their minds in the corner of the hall, and saw Shen Qi motionless next to the flames, and the desk next to him quickly turned into ashes in the fire.
Then I heard the sound of ping-pong, and the inkstone in the firelight fell to the ground, and the flame began to weaken, and it was extinguished in a few clicks.
Shen Qi didn't intend to scare them with his pen power, but the pen power contained in these eight characters was too strong, and after Ye Shude made a shocking sound, he accidentally didn't control it, and the pen power ignited the sandalwood desk.
At this moment, the hall was filled with the scent of sandalwood, and a few wisps of residual smoke were rising, Shen Qi looked at the hanging water pattern paper, and grabbed it in his hand with one hand.
"Don't blame the prefect, the pen power in these eight characters is too strong, and it needs to be released a little so that it can be saved by Zhang County's order. ”
Everyone looked at it as just a false alarm, and they didn't take this matter to heart, even if something happened, they didn't dare to say anything after seeing Shen Qi's strong pen power. Even Ye Shude, who is in the third stage of the pen, found that he couldn't compare to Shen Qi, a ghost talent in the second stage of the pen, and the strength of Shen Qi's second stage of the penpower has risen a little more, and the essence of the pen's power just now is a little higher than that of two zhang.
Seeing that the situation was improving, Zhang Yaowen was the first to rush over and catch the water-patterned paper in Shen Qi's hand, his eyes full of surprise.
"Shen Qi Xiaoyou, you forgot to pay for your authentic handiwork. ”
Just when Zhang Yaowen was ecstatic, Chen Tianbao, the owner of Shengda Qianzhuang, who was watching for a while, kindly reminded him that he witnessed Shen Qi's pen power and appreciated such a young talent more and more.
In fact, it doesn't matter if he pays or not, because the unique pen power between the handwriting can represent Shen Qi's identity, but he knows that Chen Tianbao is an upright person, although he has a lot of money, but he is rich in benevolence and righteousness, not financial resources, so he is willing to adopt his opinion and stamp his own seal.
"Master Chen reminded well. ”
Shen Qi took out the ink seal he was carrying from his sleeve, and left it at the end of the eight characters, and a bright red mark appeared.
Zhang Yaowen was even happier when he saw this, rolled up this water article, and then handed it to Wang Huairui and instructed:
"Master Wang, go find someone to frame this ink treasure, I want to hang it in my study and look at it once a day!"
Wang Huairui took this ink treasure and hurriedly went down to act, while Shen Qi realized that it was time to talk about the topic.
"Lord Prefect, Lord Prefectural, can you discuss the make-up test next?"
Shen Qi took the initiative to mention this matter, and Ye Shude and Zhang Yaowen glanced at each other, and they already had the same plan.
I saw Ye Shude ponder for a moment and said:
"Shen Qi Xiaoyou's pen power is so strong, it should not be treated according to the routine, so I can exempt you from the county exam make-up examination, issue a guarantee for you in the name of me and Zhang County's order, and guarantee that you will directly participate in the August government examination. ”
This guarantee is to ensure that Shen Qi's net worth is innocent, does not belong to the descendants of Youzhuli, and ensures that he does not impersonate, hide, replace, fake names, etc., once Shen Qi is found to be irregular, Ye Shude and Zhang Yaowen, who issued the knot, will be severely punished with Shen Qi, which is also to ensure the fairness and justice of the exam.
When Shen Qi heard that he was promoted, he never expected that he would have such treatment, and Li Guangdi on the side was also extremely envious of Shen Qi, thinking that when he participated in the county exam in February, the process was very troublesome.
First of all, they have to register with the ceremonial room of the county government office, fill in the resumes of their parents, grandparents, and great-grandparents, and also issue a mutual guarantee for the five people who take the same examination, or issue a guarantee for the county's students, to ensure their innocence, and then they are allowed to take the examination.
The county examination generally has a total of five examinations, one per day, and the roll call is entered before dawn, and the papers are handed in on the same day. The first session is the main field, trying two articles of "Four Books", and one poem of five words and six rhymes; the title, poem, and essay are written in a certain format and word limit. If you are admitted in the first session, you are eligible to take the prefectural examination, and whether you participate in the next few examinations is up to the candidate's voluntariness.
Shen Qi got such a big benefit, and immediately thanked Ye Shude and the others:
"Thank you, two adults, if you can get a little result in the government exam, you will definitely visit again!"
Li Guangdi was also happy for Shen Qi on the side, but he felt a little bad in his heart, although he won the crown of the county case, but Shen Qi participated in the next government test, presumably he would easily become the head of the government.
"Shen Qi, congratulations, don't forget to pull me in the future. ”
Li Guangdi walked up to Shen Qi to congratulate him, and Shen Qi has always been grateful to this childhood friend.
"You are a prodigy in our Anxi County, don't be presumptuous. ”
Shen Qi noticed that he was a little stimulated, and patted him on the shoulder with his hand, and Li Guangdi smiled reluctantly.
In this way, Shen Qi only needs to prepare for the August government exam, so he wants to go back now.
"Two adults, since you are willing to exempt me from the county examination, then I want to go home and work hard now, so as not to disappoint the high expectations of the two adults. ”
Shen Qi had this request, and Ye Shude and Zhang Yaowen, who had Mobao, agreed, and Ye Shude was also ready to go back, originally his main purpose this time was Li Guangdi, but he accidentally discovered Shen Qi, a ghost.
"Shen Qi, please slow down, Chen invited you to be a guest at home, and please appreciate your face. ”
Seeing that Shen Qi and Li Guangdi were leaving, Chen Tianbao, who didn't speak much, suddenly stopped Shen Qi. He Shengda Qianzhuang is tolerant of all kinds of rivers, and they have made friends with all kinds of talents.
Shen Qi faced Chen Tianbao's warm invitation, thought about it and agreed, for this rich and expensive Chen Zhuang owner, he also wanted to know about it, this can increase experience, is one of the conditions for cultivating pen power.
"Master Chen Zhuang looks down on the younger generation, how dare I not appreciate my face. ”
After Shen Qi agreed, he asked Li Guangdi to go home first, and by the way, he brought a message to Shen Hao and Zou Manshan, so as not to worry them.
"Please!"
When Chen Tianbao heard that Shen Qi was willing to be a guest at home, his heart was overjoyed, and his eyes were smiling. He hurriedly stretched out his hand to ask Shen Qi to leave the county office, as if he was worried that someone would compete with me.
Seeing this, Zhang Yaowen in the back guessed something, and suddenly joked at Chen Tianbao:
"Hmph, don't think I don't know what you Chen Tianbao wants to do, don't you just rely on your own daughters, if there are daughters in this county, how can you get your turn!"
Hearing Zhang Yaowen suddenly say this, Shen Qi's mind moved, his eyes looked at Chen Tianbao who was full of spring breeze beside him, and remembered that there were several daughters in his family who were like flowers and jade, and they were all only thirteen or fourteen years old, and the youngest seemed to be only nine years old.
