At the Spring Festival Appreciation Party of the Shangyuan Festival, although Lu Jun was out of the game early because he lost to Xu Jin on the pair, this was obviously not a big blow to Lu Yansheng, after all, he only lost to the pair, or it was not a loss at all, but his pair happened to be "lucky" by Xu Jin.

In addition, the imperial examination only examines scriptures, poems, and policy theories, and there is no pair at all, so even if you lose the pair, it is not a big deal. Moreover, Lu Jun asked himself that he had played very well in this meeting, so he was still crazy in front of Xu Jin at this time.

Xu Jin said lightly: "Then congratulations to Brother Lu!" ”

Lu Jun was stunned for a moment, what is the situation? The sun is coming out in the west? He thought that Xu Jin would fight back against himself with sharp words like he did last time at the Spring Festival Appreciation Meeting!

As everyone knows, Xu Jin is hungry now, and he doesn't bother to waste saliva with him at all. At this time, there were enough fifty people, and the messenger opened the dragon gate to let him go, Xu Jin simply handed over the number plate and walked out of the examination room, ignoring the stunned Lu Jun.

Lu Madsheng seemed to have punched the cotton, awkward and uncomfortable, flicked his sleeves under his strange gaze, walked out of the dragon gate stupidly, the fists in his sleeves were blue, and said secretly: "The surname is Xu, and let you go crazy for a while, and see how I humiliate you after the list is released." ”

"Sir!"

"It's sir!"

"The master is out!"

Soon after Xu Jin walked out of the gate of the Tribute Courtyard, he heard several cheers, and then two "little cabbages" with fragrant breezes swayed to greet him, Dabao carried a vegetable basket in his left and right hands, and followed behind the two daughters with a bitter gourd face.

It was the twin sisters who came in early spring and early summer, and the beautiful appearance of the two daughters and their identical faces instantly attracted the attention of the surrounding children.

"Tsk, this pair of twin beauties should have been given to Xu Ziqian by Wei Guogong, I really envy others."

"Hehe, look at Xu Ziqian's vague steps now, it is estimated that he hugged left and right before the exam, his body was in a big deficit, and his physical strength was seriously unable to keep up!"

"Ouch, the twenty-eight beauties are like crisps, and they slash fools with a sword at their waists. I didn't see anyone's head falling in front of me, and secretly taught the monarch to have dry bones and blood. I really sweat for Xu Ziqian! ”

Listening to the sour whispers around him, Xu Jin couldn't help but be extremely speechless, and frowned: "In early spring and early summer, why did you come here?" ”

Chu Chun lowered his head weakly, but Chu Xia said in a matter-of-fact manner: "Master, the maid and my sister went to the market to buy vegetables and prepare dinner, and just passed by the Gongyuan and met Brother Dabao, Brother Dabao saw that we were carrying so many things, so he asked us to wait, and when the master finished the exam, he then picked us up in a carriage." ”

Dabao couldn't help but be speechless, aunt and grandmother, when did Lao Tzu promise to take you by the way, and the vegetable market is not far from our house, can you run to the tribute courtyard to buy vegetables?

Xu Jin is not stupid, he can't see the cleverness he played in early summer, but he is too lazy to break it, he is tired and hungry at this time, and it is serious to go home quickly. In addition, after not taking a bath for nine days, Xu Jin felt that his whole body was going to be rancid, but fortunately, the weather was not hot now, or he couldn't bear it.

At that moment, Xu Jin got into the carriage with the help of two bright cabbages.

"Master, aren't you tired, the maid will pinch you!" Chu Xia smiled sweetly and kneaded Xu Jin's arms and thighs, which was worthy of professional training, skillful techniques, and moderate strength, which made Master Xu moan comfortably.

In the early spring, he took out a large orange from the vegetable basket, peeled it off, and carefully cleaned up the white veins inside, and then fed it to Xu Jin one by one.

Xu Jin was eating sweet and juicy oranges while enjoying the service of the soft little hands of early summer, feeling that he was about to rot.

Ming Shifang's house is not too far from the Gongyuan, and it will take ten minutes to get home, Xie Xiaowan saw Xianggong with two dark circles under his eyes, and the whole person has lost a lot of weight, and her eyes are red with distress, and she immediately prepared hot water to bathe Xianggong herself.

Mei Wan Yue'er angrily sent the twin sisters to the kitchen to prepare dinner, how could it be reasonable, these two cunning little hooves actually took the opportunity to buy vegetables and ran to pick up the old man, it was really unguardable.

Xu Jin took a beautiful hot bath under Xiaowan's service, and suddenly the whole person was refreshed, and he feasted on a hearty dinner in large chunks, and after a little activity and digestion, he ran back to the room and fell asleep.

……

In Leadshan County, Jiangxi, the living room of Fei's courtyard is a guest today. At this moment, Fei Hong, Fei Cai, and Fei Maoxian are all chatting with the guests in the living room.

Fei Maoxian's academic skills are actually not weaker than his younger brother Fei Maozhong, but he is prone to accidents every time he takes the exam. So Fei Hong followed Xu Jin's advice, and now as long as he is a guest, he will try to bring Fei Maoxian with him, paving him for connections, and exercising his reflexes by the way.

Visiting the Fei family today is a person from the Wei family in Shangrao County, who is the old man Wei of the previous generation of the Wei family, named Wei Yunming, who used to be the official of the Nanjing Criminal Department, but now he is retired.

Since the Fei Wei family had the intention of marrying, the two families have obviously been in frequent contacts, but they have not officially gone through the procedures. Eunuchs like the Fei family and the Wei family will be very cautious about marrying each other, you must know that once they get married, the two sides will be on the same boat, and if there is a storm in the future, it will inevitably affect the whole body. He is like a big family like the Shangrao Lou family, because a daughter married the rebellious King Ning, which eventually led to the destruction of the family.

Therefore, the more prominent the marriage between families, the more cautious they should consider each other, such as the political views of the main figures of the other family, and the relationship with the big names in the court. At this time, the Fei family and the Wei family were in the process of considering each other.

Mr. Wei is about seventy years old, but he is in good spirits and very talkative.

Old Man Wei smiled and said: "Today is February 17th, and at this hour, the Beijing Middle School Examination should also be over." With the talents of Ling Lang and Ling Gao's apprentices, it is estimated that the high school is also nine out of ten, if Xu Ziqian wins the first place in the test again, it will be really incredible, the small three yuan will increase the two yuan! ”

Fei Hong said with a smile: "If there is no accident, it is not difficult to use Xu Jin's level of Chinese style, but it is still a little fire to win the first place in the competition, which makes Sun Weiyang very hopeful." ”

Old Man Wei smiled when he heard this: "If that kid wins the middle school, the old man will ask the matchmaker to come to the door when he turns around, what do the sons and nephews think?" ”

"Nothing to do!" Fei Cai smiled slightly, he had no opinion on marrying the Wei family, and he was also very satisfied with Wei Yang, who was talented and talented, and his daughter would not be humiliated if she married.

Fei Maoxian couldn't help but think of Xu Jin's promise to the third sister, he would come to the door in August to propose, if the third sister and the fourth sister were out at the same time, it would be lively, but now the emperor is still stranded in Jinling, the palace test will definitely not be held as scheduled, and I don't know if Ziqian can return to Jiangxi in time for August.

Today's emperor's temperament is wilder than that of a naughty boy, and he has a lot of fun playing in Jiangnan, God knows when he will leave to return to Beijing, and if he doesn't stay for another year, the marriage between Ziqian and the third sister will be delayed.

……

In the capital, it was already nine o'clock in the evening, and the lights in the Gongyuan were still bright, and a group of internal and external curtain officials were intensively sorting out the examination papers.

Under normal circumstances, the admission list of the examination will be announced on the tenth day after the examination, that is, more than 3,000 examination papers must be completed within nine days, and the workload is not ordinarily large.

At this time, the same examiner Liu Tianmin was arguing with another fellow examiner, Shi Jue, which immediately attracted the attention of other examiners.

The deputy chief examiner, Shi Xuanxing, came over and asked, "What is the dispute between the two of you?" ”

Shi Jue handed a scroll in his hand to Shi Xuan and said, "Bangyan, this volume is just empty slogans, grandstanding, empty content, it is really derogatory, and it should be deposed, but Liu Hanlin disagrees. ”

Liu Tianmin frowned and said: "Shi Shilang is exaggerating, this volume still has a lot of merits, and it will not be deposed!" ”

Shi Xuan took the paper and read it again, and couldn't help but move in his heart, the first article in this volume was actually written quite well, but the propositions of the later policy arguments were too radical, and there was a faint shadow of Xu Jin, and the questions of the Five Classics were all "Spring and Autumn", and Xu Jin's book happened to be "Spring and Autumn", so this test paper is very likely to be Xu Jin's.

"Well, this volume is indeed too frivolous, and it is suspected of grandstanding, so I don't take it!" Shi Xuan marked an "X" in the blank space of the frontispiece.

At this time, Liang Chu also came over, took the volume from Shi Xuan's hand and read it, and finally returned the volume to Shi Xuan, and walked away without saying a word, obviously agreeing to the dethronement of this volume.

Liu Tianmin couldn't help but sigh secretly, the overall level of this volume is indeed only average, between desirable and undesirable, and it is understandable for Shi Xuan to depose it, alas, it is okay! If Xu Ziqian's level is only like this, he can't complain about others if he is deposed, and go back to practice for another three years, anyway, he is still young.
