The Guangdong Hall is brightly lit.

Almost all the people from Guangdong who came to Beijing to take the exam gathered here, and they were making final preparations for the examination in a few days. It's just that at this time, everyone can no longer concentrate on reading, and it seems that they can't sleep and eat.

Once they cross this threshold, they will be able to step into the officialdom as non-commissioned officers, and they will enjoy endless glory and wealth. And if you can't go to high school, you have to waste three years.

Although they have already obtained the ticket to the officialdom, at this point, everyone wants to step into the official career as a promising non-commissioned officer, rather than a magistrate who has at most mixed up with the county.

The number of students admitted to each session of the township examination in Guangdong is 75, and because the overall level is low, and it is thousands of miles away from the capital, and too many people have no background, the number of people participating in the examination is only about 200.

The crowd gathered in the dining room and talked about all sorts of things. It's just that there will always be people who will talk about Lin Haoran, because this is the topic that can attract everyone's attention the most.

The performance of Guangdong scholars in the examination is not outstanding, although there have also been talented champions like Lun Wenxu and Lin Daqin, but they are still a head lower than other provinces, and they are at the bottom of the southern roll.

It's just that when it comes to Wuwu Enke in the 37th year of Jiajing, it belongs to the most glorious year in Guangdong. That year, not only did Guangdong have the most scholars, but also Lin Wenkui, who had six yuan in the middle of the company.

The husband's kingdom prospers with one man, and dies with another.

With the birth of Lin Haoran, and his prosperous official fortune in the officialdom in recent years, he has become the biggest role model for Guangdong scholars at present, and it has also driven the enthusiasm of Guangdong scholars.

Lin Haoran has become the pride of Guangdong scholars and is highly respected by everyone. No matter how arrogant he is, in the face of such a bull, he obediently gives a thumbs up.

"That year, there was a heavy snowfall in the city of Beijing, and the snowflakes were as big as goose feathers. Our Lin Wenkui came to the capital, but he didn't go directly to this hall, but to the old Cantonese hall, which was still called the Chaozhou Hall at that time......"

Lin Haoran's various experiences in Beijing in the past, under the narration of an old man with excellent eloquence, caused the people around him to listen to it with relish, as if returning to the most glorious years.

It was when he was intoxicated that the old man suddenly pointed to a certain place and said loudly to everyone: "I remember that in the early morning of the meeting, Lin Wenkui sat in this position and ate breakfast!" ”

Everyone looked at each other, their eyes flashed with a gleam, and the value of that seat had undoubtedly increased a hundredfold.

Sitting in that position was a young man, with darker skin than ordinary people, only twenty years old, looking delicate, and still a little green on his body.

He sat at the table with his companion and listened attentively.

was suddenly pointed at by the old man, and then the eyes of the entire canteen focused on him alone, and his delicate face turned red, like a shy big girl.

"Brother Honghai, you are now stained with your teacher's literary luck, this time it must be the title of the gold list, it is really gratifying!" An acquaintance saw that Wang Honghai was so shy, and immediately joked.

This shy young man is none other than Wang Honghai, the new branch Xie Yuanlang, and his father Wang Yunsheng is a tribute official in Tong'an County, Fujian. It was also a coincidence that Wang Yunsheng was going to Beijing to take up his post, so the father and son went to Beijing together.

Passing through Nanjing, Wang Yunsheng suddenly fell seriously ill and thought that he was going to leave and return to the West, but he met Dr. Li, who was wandering, and his father was spared, and he was able to continue to go to Beijing to participate in the examination.

As soon as the words fell, another person joked: "Lin Wenkui won the top prize, and Jiang Yuebai, the Xie Yuanlang of Wuwu, was hand-picked as a Jishi, you can't be lower than the second grade, right?" ”

Xie Yuanlang in Guangdong in the past three sessions is quite interesting, not only are they all young people who participated in the township examination for the first time, but they are all born in western Guangdong, and the two of them are still teachers and students.

Lin Haoran was the thirty-sixth year of Jiajing's Xie Yuan, who was only 16 years old, and four years later presided over the township examination in Guangdong, so he became the teacher of Wang Honghai, who was only 19 years old.

As for Jiang Yuebai, he is Lin Haoran's senior brother, and he is only twenty years old.

At present, Guangdong's cultural fortune is prosperous, and the first two Xie Yuanlang have achieved good results, and once Wang Honghai wins another good result, it will undoubtedly make the Guangdong scholars completely raise their eyebrows.

"In ...... I will do my best to not lose the teacher's face! Although Wang Honghai knew that the other party was joking at him, he still said with determination.

Since he is Xie Yuanlang of Xinke and is only 20 years old, it is inevitable that he will encounter some criticism. The quality of his results in this examination is not only related to his personal future, but also related to the reputation of his teacher, so he must do his best no matter what.

"You're joking! We are all members of our own family, although Honghai is talented, but it is the first time to participate in the examination, how can you disturb him? An old man reprimanded unceremoniously.

Those two people are undoubtedly jealous of Wang Honghai, not only because he was honored as Xie Yuanlang at a young age, but also because Wang Honghai is Lin Haoran's "descendant disciple", and he will inevitably be cared for by Lin Haoran when he enters the officialdom in the future.

was reprimanded at the moment, and they also recognized their mistakes, even if they were guilty of accomplishing Wang Honghai, Wang Honghai returned the salute again and again.

Nowadays, the atmosphere of Guangdong scholars is still very good, but people have an idea, and suddenly propose: "Brother Honghai, you go and invite your teacher to come over, let him take half a day off on the rest of the day, and give us a lecture!" ”

"That's right! The Jiangxi Hall next door has invited the champion of Ji Weike, we can't be compared to them! An old senior lifter chimed in.

"That's right! Right! We invited the teacher over to see how those Jiangxi people still showed off their might in front of us, and we could also improve our morale and go into battle! "A new imperial examiner is also in favor of authenticity.

"Alright! I'll give it a try tomorrow, but I can't guarantee it! Wang Honghai saw that everyone had this idea, and he followed everyone's wishes.

The chief examiner of this year's examination is Yin Tai, and Lin Haoran and Yin Tai have a teacher-student relationship. In this special period, although giving lectures does not have much negative impact, Lin Haoran is afraid that he can avoid it.

He decided to ask for an invitation, and as for whether the teacher would come or not, it was naturally up to the teacher to decide. Most importantly, he thought that the teacher was not such a cautious person, and he was afraid that he would be invited.

The crowd naturally knew that Lin Haoran was Yin Tai's protégé, and they just instigated Wang Honghai to try, as for whether Lin Haoran would come and whether he would come, they didn't dare to have too high expectations.

"I just found out a piece of news, our teacher has arrived at the Chamber of Commerce next door!"

It was at this moment that one of the people was excited, pointing to the next door with a fluttering eyebrow.
