Xu Jin originally had no hope for the head of the government test, and it was a blessing to pass the government test successfully, but he didn't expect Lu Kang to name himself as the head of the government test, what is the situation?

Xu Jin doesn't think that Lu Kang's hand slips, or suddenly his brain is short-circuited, and it is even more unlikely that it is because he did too well in the exam, you must know that the content of the exam is mostly subjective, and the examiner gives a high score or a low score, all depending on their preferences, as long as it is not too obvious, no one can help it.

At this time, the whole haggis shop was boiling, and people came forward to congratulate them in an uproar, and Xu Jin didn't have time to think about the reason, and smiled and returned the salute one by one.

So, in order to celebrate Xianggong winning the first place in the government test, Xie Xiaowan generously said that all the orders were free, and now the haggis shop is even more lively, it is difficult to find one, and many people who come later can only squat outside the door to eat.

was lively, a group of scholars came from the street, led by the Fei brothers and Wei Yang and other familiar classmates, Xu Jin saw this and hurriedly greeted him, there were too many people in the store!

"Senior Brother Xu, congratulations on winning the first place in the government test!" Wei Yang smiled and arched his hand, and he was personable.

The Fei brothers, Han Chuang, Cai Yue, Li Yingjun, and more than a dozen classmates from Xinjiang Academy all stepped forward to congratulate them. Now Xu Jin has won the head of the county test and the government test, as if he is already the banner of Xinjiangshu, and the limelight faintly overshadows the senior brother Wei Yang.

Xu Jin smiled and returned the salute one by one, and said apologetically: "The small shop is narrow and crowded, so I won't invite you classmates to sit in." ”

Han Chuang said with a smile: "The location of Linjiang Building is big enough, Brother Xu took the first place in the government examination and raised the name of Xinjiang Academy, when will I not hold a few seats to celebrate at this time?" ”

This product is going to eat a big family again, and all the classmates laughed.

It is said that after the last county test, I ate a puffer fish banquet, and it cost Xu Jin nearly three taels of silver. Of course, with the current rate of making money in the haggis shop, a few taels of silver can still be spent on Xu Jin.

This time he accidentally took the head of the government test, and the emotions that Xu Jin had been suppressing were finally released, and he was relaxed and excited at the moment, and said with a smile: "Okay, then as Han Shoucheng said, Linjiang Building!" ”

Everyone immediately applauded in unison!

So, more than a dozen people went straight to Linsa Building, and Xu Jin also specially instructed a classmate to go back to the academy to invite Zhao to teach Xi, of course, other teachers were also invited, this is a thank-you banquet.

Soon, eight of the nine teachers of Xinjiang Academy came, and one did not come, Fang Xingsheng had no face to come, thinking that Xu Jin came to the academy with a letter of recommendation to find him, but he refused, and he was humiliated in public, forcing Xu Jin to switch to Zhao Jiaoxi's disciples.

Now that Xu Jin has passed the test, and even picked the head of the county test and the government test, Fang Xingsheng's intestines are repentant, and he still has the face to eat Xu Jin's thank-you banquet.

On the second floor of the Linjiang Building, Xu Jin chartered ten tables, with a total of nearly 100 teachers and classmates.

Boss Chu of Linjiang Building is happy to bloom, and the annual county government examination period is the best time for restaurant business, especially the government examination, candidates from various counties gather, various literary meetings before the exam, and various celebrations after the exam, earning him a lot of money.

No, today's government test list, Linjiang Building was chartered by a group of celebratory candidates, the head of the government test is the most exaggerated, it actually chartered ten tables on the second floor, hundreds of people have a dinner, a big deal!

Boss Chu also sponsored the cold-chilling literary club of Xinjiang Academy last year, so he naturally recognized Xu Jin, the leader of the literary club, and personally greeted him at this time, and gave a seven-fold discount!

The happiest person present was Zhao Jiaoxi, Xu Jin is his student, even took off the head of the county exam and the government exam, he naturally has a light on his face as a teacher, and it is still sunny, bright spring!

Luo Jiaoxi said sourly: "Brother Mengyang, look at how cheap you have picked up, Lao Fang is afraid that he will regret his death." ”

Zhao Mengyang was slightly drunk, and said a little proudly: "What is it called picking up cheap, that is my insight!" ”

Luo Jiaoxi said: "Tsk, let's take a look at Lao Zhao's strength, if Xu insists on taking off the head of the hospital examination in August, it will be Xiao Sanyuan, and Lao Zhao will probably have his tail up to the sky at that time!"

The so-called "small three yuan" is that the three levels of the children's test have won the first case, and the township test, the meeting test, and the palace test of the Jinshi Branch have all won the first place, which is the "big three yuan" with the highest gold content.

In other words, since the imperial examination, there has been no super bull who has won both the "small three yuan" and the "big three yuan"!

Xu Jin listened to the ridicule of the group of teachers and sat aside with a smile.

Zhao Mengyang stroked his beard, and his eyes gently fell on his proud disciple, well, not arrogant or impatient, still so calm!

Zhao Mengyang smiled and asked, "Xu Jin, do you remember that your birthday is June?" ”

Xu Jin nodded and said, "The student will be fifteen years old on the tenth day of June. ”

Only then did everyone realize that Xu Jin was only fourteen years old now, and he had not yet been crowned as an adult, and he was the head of the government test, and only the prodigy Fei Maozhong could compare with him.

Zhao Mengyang stroked his beard, hesitated for a moment, but couldn't help asking, "Is there an elder in the family who will give you a crown salute?" ”

The so-called crown ceremony is the crowning ceremony, the Ming Dynasty stipulates that the male Ding is fifteen years old for adulthood, and generally the people who pay attention to it will hold a crowning ceremony, crown and tie the hair of the children of Chengding, and also ask the respected predecessors to make the table. Of course, ordinary people don't bother with this effort, and when the son becomes an adult, he can just make a square cloth and tie up his hair.

Zhao Mengyang asked at this time, naturally he intended to crown Xu Jin with the table word, but he was a little embarrassed, after all, Xu Jin did not take the initiative to invite him, and Xu Jin was still Fei Hong's protégé, and his status was far inferior to Fei Hong, obviously it was more appropriate for Fei Hong to crown Xu Jin and take the table word.

Xu Jin shook his head and said: "The student is young and sluggish, and he hasn't thought about who to ask for the crown, as for the table, the student will return to his hometown to worship his ancestors after the Dragon Boat Festival, and he will ask Master Guo to take one when the time comes." ”

All the teachers present showed a look of approval, and Zhao Mengyang smiled and nodded: "That's good!" ”

Meng Shi is the enlightenment teacher, the first teacher in life, Xu Jin is now famous, and he has not forgotten the enlightenment teacher, which is a manifestation of respect for the teacher, and the teachers are naturally very appreciative.

This thank-you banquet was drunk until two o'clock in the afternoon, costing nearly twenty taels of silver, due to a seven-fold discount, and then erasing the change, a total of fourteen taels of silver, this is the most extravagant time for Xu Jin to spend money in the Ming Dynasty.

Zhao Mengyang and the other teachers of the academy left one after another after eating and chatting for a while, leaving the space to the young people very interestingly.

After the dinner was dispersed, Xu Jin finished settling the accounts, and was about to go downstairs with the Fei family brothers, senior brother Wei Yang and others, when he met a group of scholars who came down from the private room on the third floor.

"Presumably, this is Xu Jin, the head of this government examination, Jiang Fangjie in Xia Guixi County!" The scholar at the head arched his hand towards Xu Jin, looking polite, but the trace of hostility hidden in his eyes was still keenly captured by Xu Jin.

Xu Jin bowed his hand and saluted: "Xu Jin in Xia Shangrao County!" ”

"Congratulations to Brother Xu for winning the first place in the government examination, I knew that Brother Xu was holding a banquet here, so I came down to join in the fun just now, and by the way, I learned with Brother Xu, it's a pity!"

This time, everyone noticed that Jiang Fangjie's tone was a little sour, but it is no wonder that Jiang Fangjie won the second place in the government test this time and succumbed to Xu Jin, but before the government test, someone said that the head of the case would be Jiang Fangjie, but in the end, it was Xu Jin who took the head of the case.

A classmate next to Jiang Fangjie smiled and said: "Wen Sheng (Jiang Fangjie's words), isn't there still a chance for the Lord of Futai to hold a banquet tonight?" Then ask Xu for advice! ”

Jiang Fangjie stroked his palm and said: "I lost Brother Qian to remind me, I almost forgot about this matter, Brother Xu, then I have to ask for advice tonight!" With that, he went downstairs.

Fei Maozhong snorted coldly and said, "Jiang Fangjie is just a person who tends to be inflammatory!" ”

Before Ning Wang Shizi feasted on the candidates of Zhu County in Linjiang Building, Min Shixun, the head of the case in Yushan County, scolded Ning Wang for being a chaotic minister and thief on the spot, although he was finally broken his leg, but he won high praise and fame among the candidates, and Jiang Fangjie, the head of Guixi County, was ashamed to welcome Ning Wang Shizi at the banquet, so Fei Maozhong had a bad impression of him!

Xu Jin frowned, he was still a little unclear at this time, so, is Governor Lu going to hold a banquet tonight? Why didn't I get the notification?

Leaving Linjiang Building, Xu Jin returned to the Xishi house, because it was free today, the ingredients in the store had been used up at this time, and the closing sign was also hung out.

At this time, Xiao Wan, Er Niu, and Xiao Nu'er were cleaning up, as for that Aunt Qian, because her hands and feet were not clean, she once secretly hid the money paid by the guest, and Xu Jin dismissed her very simply.

"Xianggong is back, this is the clothes and invitations sent by the government!" When Xie Xiaowan saw Xu Jin coming back, she happily brought up a new set of clothes and invitations.

This set of clothes is the straight shirt that represents the identity of the child, and the straight shirt is also known as the children's clothes, a light blue caftan with willow leaf stripes on the neckline and cuffs, and only the children who have passed the government examination are eligible to wear it.

Xu Jin opened the invitation post, it was sent by the prefect Lu Kang, and a banquet was held in the government office tonight, and all the candidates who passed the government examination received an invitation.

Xu Jin couldn't help frowning, under normal circumstances, only after the township examination and the palace examination, the official would hold a banquet to celebrate the admitted candidates, namely the Luming Banquet and the Qionglin Banquet.

Now it's just a government exam, and Governor Lu actually held a banquet to entertain candidates, which is obviously private, which is a bit abnormal!

Xu Jin couldn't help but think of his own government test case, which was like pie in the sky.

"Could it be that Lu Kang wants to step on two boats with one foot, and he took refuge in King Ning over there, and here he shows favor to Fei Hong behind him, and wants to leave a way back for himself?"

However, Xu Jin quickly denied his idea again, because this approach is very stupid, you must know that rebellion is a felony of the Nine Clans, as long as Lu Kang is involved with King Ning, no matter what way he leaves, it will be in vain, unless he publicly draws the line before King Ning rebels.

So why did Lu Kang point himself to the head of the case? Xu Jin is really a little puzzled, but I think there should be a result for tonight's banquet!
