The yamen of Fuzhou Prefecture and the Yamen of the Political Division, the Yamen of Yandao, the foot of the drum tower in the center of the provincial capital. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

It is only a thousand steps from the Yamen of the Political Secretary to the Yamen of the Government, so the news is the fastest. At this moment, in the yamen of the government, the current prefect is Li Yinglan, who is sitting in the hall.

Li Yinglan is a native of Dongguan, Guangdong, a 44-year jinshi of Jiajing, and has been promoted to the prefect for more than ten years.

Thousands of papers in Hefu were all on the case, and it was impossible for Li Yinglan to read them all by himself, so he invited a few guests from other provinces who knew how to read articles to read the files for him.

Li Yinglan has been stumbling for half her life in her career, and she has been stuck in the junior level for a long time, and it has been smooth for her to try the hall in the back township. He deeply felt that the examiners he met when he was in the third level were all allowed to be evaluated by the curtainers, and his discerning eyes could not read the pearls, which caused him to be frustrated in the field. Therefore, he invited these curtain guests to be well-educated students, and it was expected that there would be no problem when he read the articles in the government examination.

But even so, Li Yinglan was still not at ease, and stared at it in the hall in person, afraid that these curtain guests would not look carefully and succumb to their talents.

After two days and one night, these guests ordered 500 papers from the thousands of papers in the government examination to be submitted. These 500 papers are the first qualified preparation papers, and after the second and third games, Li Yinglan will select another 100 volumes from them, and finally use them as the ink papers for the government examination.

Li Yinglan was already halfway through it, and her face was quite happy, among which there were several articles by talented people, who were circled by him three times. In his eyes, the articles of these talented people, not to mention the township examination, can also have a place in the general examination.

Just when Li Yinglan was reading the volume, his henchman Master Mi rushed over in three steps and two steps, and when he saw Li Yinglan, he said repeatedly: "Dong Weng is very happy, very happy, is it really a great joy?" ”

"What's the joy of it?"

Although Li Yinglan was strange, her face was still very calm. showed the stability that a prefect should have, but the next moment he heard the news, his stability was gone.

"What, three yuan and first? Is it really a gentleman? Li Yinglan said silently.

"It's Dong Weng, it's Wanli four years of township trying to solve Yuanlin Yanchao."

"It turned out to be him," Li Yinglan immediately got up from the rattan chair. Put on the black gauze hat and said, "Prepare the sedan car quickly, this mansion is going to Xie Yuandi." ”

Li Yinglan thought to herself that she had produced a champion under her rule, which was the work of culture and education, and she would definitely be evaluated by the Ministry of Officials in the future, so she would definitely have extra points, not to mention the three yuan and the first, she was really lucky this time.

Li Yinglan was about to go out with a happy face.

"Dong Weng is slow." Master Mi said.

"How?"

Master Mi said: "Dong Weng, someone will send the good news." He is not in a hurry to go to the Lin Mansion to congratulate him at this moment. Dong Weng has another important matter at the moment. ”

"What?"

"The icing on the cake."

Li Yinglan sat back on the chair after hearing this, frowned and thought for a while and asked, "Master, what is the icing on the cake?" ”

Master Mi said in a low voice: "Dong Weng doesn't know, I inquired about the news, and the cousin of this new champion is the candidate for the government examination." ”

"You mean double happiness?" Li Yinglan's eyes lit up.

Master Mi lowered his head and said, "Dong Weng is wise." ”

Li Yinglan said in a burst of spirit: "What is the name of the cousin of the new champion?" ”

"Dengyingfang Lane, Lin Yanshou."

Li Yinglan immediately said to the curtain guest below: "Quick, get Lin Yanshou out of the rolls." The official asked him to be Cheng Juan. ”

"Yes." All the guests knew that the prefect wanted to add icing on the cake, yes. The two brothers tried to be the first, the first champion and the first, what a double happiness!

At the moment, these people are looking for the papers in the 500 preparation papers.

"Haven't you found it yet?" Li Yinglan's expression was a little unsightly.

Several of the curtain guests said: "Dong Weng, it may not be among the five hundred volumes. ”

Li Yinglan slapped the table at the moment and said to these guests: "You guys of wine bags and rice bags almost made a big joke for this house." It's a shame that each of you claims to have read poetry and books, and you can't even read the scrolls, and I don't know how many people have been wrongfully killed by the pen in your hands! ”

Seeing that the prefect was furious, these guests knelt down and kowtowed together, and said in a loud voice: "Please forgive Dong Weng." Forgiveness. ”

Master Mi also persuaded on the side: "Dong Weng, stop being angry, stop being angry." ”

"Don't find out the file yet, and then redo it later." Li Yinglan flicked her sleeves heavily.

Several curtain guests hurriedly said yes, and then went to look for it. And Li Yinglan was angry, and walked around in front of the case with her hands in her hands.

After a while, a curtain guest said excitedly: "Dong Weng, I found it, I found it!" ”

"Quick, present it to the Mansion!" Li Yinglan sat back on the table.

The curtain guest handed over the ink scroll he found, and Li Yinglan picked it up and read it......

After a while, Li Yinglan asked Master Mi: "The cousin of the new champion is really called Lin Yanshou?" Can't be mistaken? ”

"It is written in the book that he is from Houguan County, and he now lives in Dengyingfang Lane, and it is the same on the roll call, so there can be no mistake." On the side, Master Mi took the scroll and looked at it, pinched his beard and said nothing.

Li Yinglan sighed and said to the following guests: "Yes, this mansion is to blame you." ”

Several of the courtiers were granted amnesty.

Li Yinglan couldn't help but say: "The same brother, one person has three yuan and the first, but the other person is so hasty, how can people believe it." ”

A curtain guest stepped forward and said, "Dong Weng, the nine sons of the dragon are different, not to mention the cousins? ”

Li Yinglan sighed: "It is difficult for this official to take him as five hundred, not to mention that he passed the government test, wouldn't he be poked in the back and scolded if he said it." ”

Another guest said: "Dong Weng looks at the face of the new champion, please think twice!" ”

Li Yinglan listened to it and thought to herself, forget it, forget it, just take this Lin Yanshou in a low way, he picked up the red pen from the case, waited to hook the circle, hung his wrist and stopped in the air, suddenly threw the pen away and sighed: "This house really can't do this!" ”

"Dong Weng, maybe he can't make up his mind so early." At this time, Master Mi said on the side.

"How so? You also want this government to take him, this government doesn't want to be an official for half his life, and his reputation will be ruined. Li Yinglan can also be regarded as a good official with persistence.

Master Mi smiled and said: "My subordinates will not let Dong Weng take it forcibly, but when I first read the text, I also felt that this person's writing was ridiculous, but when I read it again and take a closer look, it has a different meaning." ”

Li Yinglan was stunned, stared at Master Mi and asked, "Master Mi, are you saying this from the bottom of your heart?" ”

Master Mi said solemnly: "Dong Weng, yes, this person's article is not in line with the general trend, it is inevitable that people will abandon it at a glance, but if you don't look carefully, it is a square circle of its own, it is precisely because it is not flattering to the public, so that it can become a family of its own!" ”

Several curtain guests burst into tears when they heard Master Mi say this, and these articles will blow flowers for you! Why don't you go to heaven?

Li Yinglan also took the article and re-read it, and said after half a sound: "Fortunately, the master reminded me, otherwise I wouldn't be able to see the beauty of this article, and it is not without merit!" ”

Li Yinglan's words were loud. (To be continued.) )
