In a word, Zhang Chuwen's heart calmed down.

Wei Zheng, who is notoriously honest, upright, and unsympathetic to anyone, the emperor is willing to hand over the position of the main examiner of this year's re-examination to him, it seems that the emperor has the intention to rectify the unhealthy atmosphere in this examination room.

In this year's scientific examination, not only him and Liu Ertiao, but also the poor students of the entire Tang Dynasty are blessed.

An opportunity for fair selection, a arena based on real talent, is rare for them.

After chatting with Li Chengqian for a while, Zhang Chuwen, who was a little absent-minded, got up and saluted Li Chengqian and said goodbye, and hurriedly ran back to Liufu to report the good news with Liu Ertiao.

"Is this a happy event?" Liu Ertiao personally poured Zhang Chuwen a cup of tea, and said softly: "Brother Chuwen, do you know that in the list of this year's re-examination of the Ministry of Officials, how many children from poor families like you and me are accounted for?" ”

"Out of five hundred, there must be thirty percent, right?" Zhang Chuwen took the tea bowl, estimated a little conservatively, and looked at Liu Ertiao.

"Thirty percent? Oh, if there are thirty percent, then it is really the eyes of the heavens," Liu Ertiao sat down on the chair lightly, his expression was somewhat sad, he glanced at Zhang Chuwen, gently stretched out a finger, and said: "One percent, and it is not yet, among the five hundred people, only forty-three students from poor families account for forty-three people, and most of these forty-three people are just some mediocre talents, and there are very few people who are really talented." ”

I don't want to believe it, but it's true, and it's a chilling ratio.

"What the virtuous brother said, can you be serious?" Zhang Chuwen's face instantly became very ugly, he had always known that this imperial examination was unfair, but he didn't expect it to be so dark.

At the same time, Zhang Chuwen also vaguely understood why according to his talent and learning, he would fail the list several times, but he could not pass the threshold of the provincial examination. On the contrary, there are some classmates who are inferior to him who will easily enter the re-examination.

"After the list was issued, the younger brother sent someone to investigate it specially," Liu Ertiao's face remained unchanged, took a sip of tea, and said: "It's just that this result is a little cruel, and it can't be changed, so I didn't tell Brother Chu Wen to know." ”

"So, even if Lord Wei is in charge of the main exam, he is powerless?" Zhang Chuwen glanced up at Liu Ertiao, the excitement when he first came, there was nothing left, and his heart was cold.

"You can talk about it like this, but it's not necessarily true," Liu Ertiao said: "Lord Wei's main exam, for us now, is an opportunity, whether we can jump into heaven or not, we have to rely on Lord Wei's impartial judgment." There are some things that we can't manage or change with our current strength alone, but if we can get into the official career and enter the officialdom, there is always a hope that we can change. ”

As long as there is enough power and strength, it is not impossible to open up a fair place for the children of poor families in the world. The two boys, who are a little ignorant of the sky and the height of the sky, or are full of ambition, have a little more dream in their hearts. I just don't know if they will really have such great achievements in the future.

"Okay, let's not talk about this," Liu Ertiao stood up, tightened the cotton robe on his body, and said softly to Zhang Chuwen: "I heard that the day before yesterday, not far from our house, a 'get drunk' branch was opened, I heard that the wine in it was good, and I happened to want to relax today, so let's go there to buy a drunk, how about it?" ”

"It's okay," Zhang Chuwen also got up, and now he didn't have much heart to read quietly, and was about to get drunk: "Brother Wei also wants to taste it to see how it tastes like tribute wine." ”

Saying that, the two brothers went all the way ahead, Xue Rengui and Liu Yan followed, and they went out of the courtyard all the way, waded through two diagonal streets, and arrived at the branch of 'Get Drunk' in Chang'an City.

"Husband, that smart real person, seems to have seen something, what she said, the concubine listened, how did it seem to be a temptation?" It was night, just came back from Kuimen, and he was a little tired physically and mentally, lying in Liu Yiyi's arms, thinking about the things in the 'True Martial Arts Temple' during the day, and asked Liu Yiyi softly.

"Don't worry," because there is still Xiaoyi at home, Liu Yiyi's voice is not loud when he talks to Zhang Chuchu: "HC Zhenren just saw the health song we practiced, and it has some relationship with what she has learned, at most, it is just that she can see some martial arts in her husband, and she didn't see our identity, and besides, didn't HC Zhenren also say that it would keep it secret for us?" If it's okay, don't think about it. ”

Liu Yiyi reached out and pulled the quilt up, comforting softly.

HC Zhenren had no ill will towards them, but he saw that Liu Yiyi had a good martial arts, but he was living in the Di Mansion as a teacher, and he was afraid that he would have any plans and what disadvantages would be to the Di family, so he made a temptation.

Moreover, the internal qi cultivation belongs to the same source, and the performance of HC real people also seems to have a sense of cordiality and closeness. Listening to the meaning of Hui Cong's real words, this Dao aunt is like a disciple accepted by Sun Simiao's old Dao in the early years, and only passed on a copy of her 'Evergreen Song Recipe', and the others were not taught at all. Or that what happened to this Hui Cong, similar to him, was that Sun Simiao's old man looked pleasing to the eye, and he casually threw away a song recipe for health preservation.

"Well," Zhang Chuchu nodded lightly, blinked his eyes twice, turned his head to look at Liu Yiyi, and asked softly: "What do you think of those two little girls, what do you think, today in the carriage, the two of them have been knocking on the side all the way to test the concubine's body, and they seem to have some suspicions." ”

Zhang Chuchu's heart was somewhat sour, and she could see that Li Ruxiang and Su Chenxi, the two young ladies, seemed to have some inexplicable feelings for their husbands.

"They," Liu Yiyi stroked his daughter-in-law's stomach and said softly, "It's just two playful girls, in this festival, they are just two passers-by who come out to play, and when this excitement is over, it's time to leave." They couldn't find anything. ”

"Really? Hopefully," Zhang Chuchu shrank in her husband's arms, always feeling in her heart that things shouldn't be so simple, those two girls are smart people, if they really don't leave, it may not be possible to find something.

Thinking about it, Zhang Chuchu's eyelids gradually became a little heavy, and he leaned his little face into Liu Yiyi's arms, and fell asleep. After a day of running with her stomach dragged today, she was indeed tired.

"Chu Chu, Chu Chu?" Seeing that his daughter-in-law was no longer silent, Liu Yiyi turned his head and tried to scream twice, seeing that she was really asleep, he chuckled and pulled the quilt up again, tucked it tightly, and then closed his eyes and fell asleep.

Nothing was said all night.

The next day, when Liu Yiyi rushed to Liu's Mansion with the textbooks, he found that in the study, there was not a single figure, and his two students were not on the side.

"Mr. Liu, have you arrived?" Walnut, who had been waiting in the study, hurriedly came from outside, and saw that Liu Yiyi was standing in the study in a daze, so he quickly walked to Liu Yiyi and bent down to salute.

"What's the matter, haven't the two young masters gotten up yet?" Liu Yiyi turned to look at Walnut, and asked him softly with a somewhat unhappy expression.

"Get up, the two little masters have already gotten up before dawn, but something happened in the house, the master called them all over, and the master instructed that today's class professor should stop for a while, and let Mr. Liu rest for a while." Walnut explained softly to Yanagichichi.

"Oh," Liu Yiyi replied softly, and asked Walnut in a strange whisper, "What is it that is more important than the schoolwork of the two young masters?" Is it convenient for Liu to know? ”

"Actually, it's not a secret, and it doesn't hurt to tell Mr." Walnut leaned over to Liu Yiyi and said, "I heard that when the eldest lady caught the thief last night, she was injured and vomited a lot of blood, and now Zhang Lizheng is in a hurry to treat it." The old lady and the young master are all waiting for Xin'er in the east courtyard, and I don't know if the eldest lady can survive this hurdle. ”

"Catch a thief? Is the injury serious? When Liu Yiyi heard this, he couldn't help but be a little worried, remembering that in the early hours of this morning, there seemed to be a commotion nearby, could it be that the sound caused by Di Fu when he caught the thief? The current thieves are also a little bolder, and even the mansion of a governor Shi dared to come and steal, and after being discovered, he dared to injure people?

Thinking of Di Zhizhi's little girl, although her temper is a little hotter, when she is dealing with people, her attitude is a little worse, and sometimes she even raises her sword to slash at people, but in general, her heart is still good, if something really happens, it's a pity.

"I vomited so much blood, and there was blood everywhere in the yard, of course it would be very serious, but with Doctor Zhang here, I hope there won't be any accidents." Walnut's face also showed some worry, and no one would be happy if something happened to the young lady of the owner's house.

"Take me over to have a look," Liu Yiyi said lightly, "Something happened to the eldest lady, it is reasonable, I also want to visit it." ”
