The two brothers, Fei Maoxian and Fei Maozhong, came out of Linjiang Building, and also did not go back to the academy, but went straight home, but were called to the study by their father Fei Hong as soon as they entered the house.

At this time, the fragrance of tea was wafting in the study, and Fei Hong and Fei Cai brothers were sitting across the coffee table, and there was an open letter on the coffee table.

"Daddy, uncle!" Fei Maoxian and Fei Maozhong entered the study, and stood aside after greeting.

Fei Hong smelled the smell of wine emanating from the two of them, frowned and said, "Drinking?" Why do you leave school so early today? ”

Fei Maoxian said: "Today's county trial list, Xu Jin won the first place in the county trial, please go to Linjiang Building to eat and drink." ”

Fei Hong's expression was slightly relieved when he heard this, he stroked his beard and smiled, since he learned the title of the first two articles in the county exam, he had a hunch that Xu Jin would win the case, and now he really did not disappoint himself.

Fei Cai said with a smile: "When I first saw it that day, I expected that this son was extraordinary, and now he has taken off the head of the county test case in a small test, and his edge is exposed." Of course, this is also inseparable from the teachings of the eldest brother! ”

Fei Hong smiled, he was a little complacent, he saw Xu Jin's article level improve step by step, and he won both articles in the county test, so he naturally had a greater sense of achievement.

Fei Maozhong was happy to see his father, and took the opportunity to ask, "Dad, who sent the letter?" ”

Fei Hong smiled and said, "Governor Sun sent someone to send it, and it was because of this matter that you came, so you should read the letter first." ”

Fei Maoxian and Fei Maozhong glanced at each other, the former hurriedly picked up the envelope and pulled out the letterhead inside, and the two read together.

"Great, Governor Sun has finally raised troops to suppress the bandits, and the uncle's blood feud will be avenged!" Fei Maozhong blurted out happily, his fists clenched excitedly.

At the end of last year, a group of thieves led by Wu Sanba continued to harass the Fei family, dug up the ancestral grave of the Fei family, and later ransacked the county seat of Leadshan, and kidnapped and killed Fei Ruyi's father Fei Dian, forcing the Fei family to flee from Leadshan County and move the family to Shangrao County for refuge, so the Fei family hated this group of thieves to the core.

At this time, the two brothers of the Fei family suddenly frowned, because the letter also mentioned that the Qin mission sent by the emperor had arrived in Nanjing, and it was expected to arrive in Shangrao County in the middle and late this month.

This Qincha was specially sent by the emperor to investigate the case of Fei Dian's killing, which was originally a happy thing, but this drinker was Qian Ning's party, and the traitor Qian Ning colluded with King Ning, and the reason why King Ning was allowed to restore the three guards, Qian Ning contributed a lot.

Therefore, it can be expected that even if this Qin cha comes, he will just go through the motions casually, and there will definitely not be any substantive investigation, as can be seen from his first stop in Nanchang, because Nanchang is where King Ning's fief is located.

Fei Hong stroked his beard and said in a deep voice: "It is expected that the Qincha will arrive around the twentieth of this month, third brother, you are responsible for preparing for the reception, and at that time, the people will accept it, and the two of you will also accompany you out of the city to greet you!" ”

Although he knew that Qin Cha would not have any good results when he came, after all, he was sent by the emperor, and he was a third-level official, so he couldn't be lazy at all. Fei Maoxian and Fei Maozhong had no choice but to nod depressedly in agreement.

Fei Mansion House, the three girls of the Fei family play backgammon together, and this game is naturally "invented" by Xu Dingding's classmates, usually free to occasionally play with the little slave, and since the last Yuan Xiao Festival, Xie Xiaowan and the three girls of the Fei family are familiar with each other, and occasionally invite to the Fei family to play, so this game was passed to the Fei family's house through the hands of the little slave, and now the maid and wife of the Fei family's house will play.

In March, the weather began to warm up, at this time the three girls of the Fei family changed into spring shirts, and the three young girls looked even more slender and lovely.

At this time, Fei Xiaoyu's personal maid Huan Guan Qi twisted her thin waist, floated in like a weak willow in the wind, and said with a smile: "The slave maid just heard the second master's little maid Mingyan say that Xu Gongzi picked the head of the county test case!" ”

Fei Ruyi raised a pair of wonderful eyes and smiled: "Then I want to congratulate Xu Gongzi!" ”

Fei Xiaoyu said disappreciatively: "Cut, what is there to congratulate, isn't it the head of the county trial, the second brother is still the head of the court test the year before last, my father is even more connected to the third yuan, when will Xu Jin also be connected to the third yuan, I congratulate him again!" ”

Fei Jixiang chuckled: "Fifth sister, do you think that everyone is as powerful as the second uncle, he won the show at the age of thirteen, besides, Xu Jin is not uncommon with your congratulations!" ”

Fei Xiaoyu nodded and said, "That's right, Xu Jin is rare to be congratulated by the third sister!" ”

"Fifth sister, I'm angry if you talk nonsense again!" Fei Ruyi knocked Fei Xiaoyu in annoyance.

Fei Xiaoyu touched her forehead and said with a smile: "Who took the third sister's handkerchief?" If it's not rare, why take your handkerchief? ”

Fei Ruyi's face flushed, messed up the chess pieces on the table, and said angrily: "I won't play anymore, you two will play by yourself!" With that, he got up and walked back to the inner room.

Fei Jixiang and Fei Xiaoyu looked at each other and stuck out their tongues, it seemed that the joke was a bit excessive, and the third sister was really angry.

Fei Ruyi returned to the inner room, walked to the dresser and sat down to sulk, and suddenly saw his pretty face full of red in the bronze mirror, which was actually beautiful and incomprehensible, and couldn't help but be stunned, and suddenly sighed lightly, after the New Year, he was one year older again, sixteen this year!

"Do you know that there was an interesting incident when the list was released today, a scholar was dissatisfied with the results of the county exam, and shouted in public that there was a shady scene, saying that the reason why Xu Gongzi won the first case was because of the favor......itism of the county lord."

The sound of Yahuan watching chess came from outside, and Fei Ruyi hurriedly stood up and walked to the back of Pingfeng to listen carefully.

At this time, I only heard Fei Xiaoyu ask with great interest: "What happened later?" ”

Guanqi said with a smile: "Later, the scholar beat the drum and asked the county to disclose the top ten candidates' test papers for review, and the county respected his request, hehe, the scholar read Xu Gongzi's exam papers and confessed, and was beaten by the county with thirty sticks, and the county test results were also canceled, and he was also banned from participating in the county test for two years, which is really miserable!" ”

Fei Ruyi secretly breathed a sigh of relief, suddenly had a fever on his face, and secretly said, "Fei Ruyi, why do you care so much about him?" ”

It is said that Fei Ruyi is the age of a young girl, and at this time it is easiest to be attracted by the excellent opposite sex, not to mention that Xu Jin is indeed handsome and talented, plus Fei Ruyi, a woman who is raised in a deep boudoir, usually has few men, let alone excellent men, so she naturally has a little good impression of Xu Jin, and there are two bad sisters, who always use Xu Jin to tease her, and she can't pay attention to it if she wants to.

After a long time, Fei Ruyi's mentality has undergone subtle changes, and all news related to Xu Jin has been paid special attention to, such as now!

……

Time passed inadvertently, and in a blink of an eye, it was the middle of March, the weather was warmer, and the announcement of the government examination was also posted outside the government office, and the registration could begin.

Xu Jin took half a day to go to the courtroom of the government to register, and the process was similar to the registration for the county examination, which also required five candidates to settle each other's guarantees.

So Xu Jin and Cai Yue, Li Yingjun, Han Chuang, and a classmate of Xinjiang Academy registered with each other, got the admission ticket, and waited for the government exam on April 15.

Because Xu Jin County took the first place in the case, the government test is a must, and participating in the government test is just a formality, so the mentality is a lot more relaxed, and there is no need to work as hard as the county test to prepare for the exam, and I get out of school on time every day.

In the afternoon of that day, Xu Jin and the Fei brothers returned to the city from school, and as soon as they walked near the city gate, they saw a team of officers and soldiers with weapons patrolling by, and there were also soldiers guarding and interrogating the city gate.

It is rumored that the governor of Jiangxi, Sun Sui, has transferred two guards, a total of more than 10,000 people, to suppress bandits in the neighboring county of Leadshan County, in order to prevent the bandits from flowing to Shangrao County, the official army has blocked the Xinjiang River, and the city defense has also strengthened its vigilance, so they have to be interrogated when they enter and leave the city in recent days.

Xu Jin and the Fei brothers were both dressed as scholars, and they went in and out of the city every day, so the officers and soldiers guarding the city recognized it, said hello and let them go.

As soon as Xu Jin and the others entered the city gate, they heard the sound of rapid horses' hooves behind them, and hurriedly turned around to take a look, only to see more than a dozen angry horses on the official road galloping towards the city gate, and the dust raised by the horses' hooves was rolling like a cloud.

The officers and soldiers guarding the gate hurriedly put the horses in the middle of the road, drew their weapons and waited for them, and the officers and soldiers at the head of the city even opened their bows and arrows.

The caravan had been running until the straight into the city, when it slowed down and came to a halt at the gate of the city.

There were twenty people in this horse team, the leader was a young man of twenty years old, dressed in luxurious clothes, covered with a red cloak, with a long sword hanging from his waist, and the entourage behind him was all dressed in short clothes, all of them were powerful, with waist knives and bows and arrows, and his expression was fierce.

"I'm impatient to live, dare to stand in the way of King Ning's son!" A guard next to the young man shouted loudly, and the horsewhip snapped on the refusing horse.

The soldiers guarding the city are all looking awe-inspired, King Ning is extremely powerful in Jiangxi, it can be said that he covers the sky with one hand, he is simply the emperor of the soil, how dare these soldiers offend, they didn't even dare to check when they heard the words, and hurriedly carried the rejected horse away to make way.

The young man rode his horse proudly into the city, and as for Xu Jin and the others who were standing on the road, he naturally didn't even look down on his head, and led a group of guards to ride his horse.

Fei Maoxian and Fei Maozhong both had cold faces, they naturally recognized this person, it was Brother Zhu, the eldest son of King Ning, the Fei family and King Ning were related, so the two sides had also met.

It is worth mentioning here that King Ning has a total of four sons, all of whom have not yet been named, and they are usually called the eldest brother, second brother, third brother, and fourth brother.

Maybe everyone will think it is strange, a dignified vassal king, why haven't his sons been named yet?

The reason is simple, because the vassal king does not have the right to name his children. Since Zhu Di, the king of Yan, raised troops to rob his nephew Zhu Yunwen of the throne, in order to prevent other vassal kings from learning from him, Zhu Di not only deprived the vassal kings of various places of military power, but also formulated strict laws and regulations to restrict the freedom of the vassal kings.

Among them, the naming of the children of the vassal king, marriage, and other matters must first be reported to the Zongren Mansion for application, and then the emperor will give the name and marriage.

King Ning has never applied for names for his four sons, so the four sons have no names until now, and the mansion is called like the eldest brother and the second brother, which is really wonderful!
