The man just looked at Ji Ning and the others slightly, with a leisurely and confident look on his face, and the heroism between his eyebrows was really aggressive, but he didn't seem to be very rich, because he didn't even bring an entourage with him, and just came out alone.

It's just that Ji Ning felt a little strange in his heart: "I have never seen this boy, why does he have such a high opinion of me?" Is it just a coincidence that I was moved by what I said? ”

"Your Excellency?" Tang Xie and Han Yu sat close to the man, and couldn't help but stand up and ask.

The man closed the scroll, the sharp aura on his body was slightly hidden, and he smiled lightly: "The name is not enough to worry about, but listening to the previous high comments of this son, I believe that this son must have an unlimited future in the future." ”

The words are good words of compliments and wishes, but they sound awkward to several people. Tang Xie and the others couldn't help but think: "Yongning's talent is very good, but you haven't even seen Yongning's real talent, just heard him say that he doesn't cling to the powerful to be the fast son-in-law of Chongwangfu, just say that he has a great future in the future, you won't be the county horse who wants to be the lord of Huaizhu, and deliberately give Yongning a high hat to force him not to compete with you, right?" ”

Ji Ning's mentality was very good, he didn't think about whether this person was competing with him to be the county lord of Huaizhu, he got up and saluted and thanked him: "This son is lifted up, I don't know if I can take a step to drink a glass of water and wine?" ”

Tang Xie and the others glanced at Ji Ning complainingly, as if to say, although this person is praising you, but he has bad intentions, you still don't drink with him, you can't hurt people, you can't have the heart to defend people. But Ji Ning seemed to be very hospitable.

The mysterious son stood up, looked at Ji Ning with his eyes, and said with a smile: "I just came here to have a cup of tea, and I occasionally heard Ji Gongzi's lofty remarks, and I had to leave because of important matters, and I will definitely invite my son to drink when I have the opportunity in the future." Leave! ”

He didn't tell Ji Ning much, and went downstairs directly, Tang Xie and the others found that there was no banquet on the table of this mysterious son, only a cup of tea, and he didn't believe it when he said that he didn't come to target Ji Ning. Ji Ning also had doubts in his heart this time, because this mysterious boy directly called him "Ji Gongzi", and the two sides actually did not pass each other's names, but he also expected that maybe it was his self-title and symmetry when he was talking to Tang Xie and the others just now, which let this mysterious son know his surname and origin.

"Who the hell is this person? Ziqian, you know? Han Yu looked at Tang Xie with a curious expression. 】

Tang Xie looked at Ji Ning inexplicably and said, "I thought it was Ji Ning's old friend, and I wanted to invite him over to drink and drink together." ”

Ji Ning thought to himself, you are very hostile to this person, and said that please come and drink, it is good that you didn't drive people away directly, this person is in such a hurry to leave, it is also because of your bad attitude. Ji Ning shook his head and said, "Maybe I was just passing by and occasionally heard a conversation between us." This also just shows that the wall has ears, and you should be careful when speaking in the future. ”

"What Yongning said is that this is a public place, no matter what you say, you have to be careful, don't say it, I didn't even notice it when he came before, if I didn't see him with a shadow, I thought he was a ghost." Song Rui said something beside him, which also evoked Ji Ning's memories. Ji Ning thought about it, this person's appearance was too weird, and he appeared at the table next to everyone silently, he clearly didn't remember this person when he came, and he had to pass by their table to get to the corner, but he didn't find this person coming just now.

When a few people drank and talked again, Ji Ning was thinking about this question, and he never understood what was going on. When he was about to go downstairs and leave, Ji Ning asked the shopkeeper, and the shopkeeper was surprised: "This boy is not smiling, there are two tables of guests on the second floor at noon today, and there is no single son-in-law who has gone upstairs as you said......"

Ji Ning specially asked, Tang Xie and the others realized that this person's origin was not simple, and their first thought was: "Have you seen a ghost?" ”

Ji Ning just smiled and said: "It seems that he has no malicious intent, otherwise he wouldn't have spoken out for us to notice, and you don't have to think about it, I will investigate in detail afterwards to see who he is, maybe he will really come to visit!" ”

……

……

Ji Ning couldn't figure out who this person was, so he went home first, there were not many clues about some things, and it was too difficult to find out, so it was better to go with the flow, and then when it came to a certain time, there would be an answer.

That night, in the Jinling City and Rural Examination Tribute Institute, the township examination seal, transcription and reading have just been completed, more than 3,000 copies of the examination papers of Xiucai were sent to the "Zhishan Hall", here is the place where the examiner and the examiner read the papers, according to the rules, the examiner and the examiner should worship the saint and the master in the evening, and then open the book, each person will read a paper that night, as the beginning of the ceremony, and the next day will begin the formal marking work.

The marking will last until August 28 or so, and on August 29, the transcription will be used to find the original volume, open the seal to find the candidate himself, and then record the candidates in the examination in accordance with the noun in the list of laurels in the township examination, and officially announce the list on August 30 or the first day of September. At the end of the banquet, the township examination is officially over, and the roster and examination papers of all the winners will be brought to the Temple of Literature and the court hall by the two examiners respectively for retention, so as to facilitate subsequent inspections and prevent candidates from being unworthy of the name.

At the end of September, the results of the feedback will be sent back to Jinling City, and the candidates will hold an activity of "worshiping the Temple of Literature" at the end of September or early October, and officially obtain the literary name of the people of the Temple of Literature.

All of this is due to the marking work in the Jinling Township Trial Tribute Institute.

The two main examiners of this year's township examination, one is Feng Xuanqing, who has been elected by the Confucian Temple, and the other is Jiang Song, the two Huai Inspectors sent by the imperial court. Feng Xuanqing is in his fifties, he retired from the imperial court early, and has been idle in the place, many people have come to him to study, and there are countless disciples; Jiang Song was just 40 years old, and his position in the DPRK and China was not prominent, but he was only responsible for the scientific examination and annual examination of local students over the years, as well as the main examination of the township examination.

In this township examination, Feng Xuanqing and Jiang Song's authority is theoretically equal, but because Feng Xuanqing's literary name is higher than Jiang Song's, he has a higher voice in the question and marking.

After reading the first paper that night, everyone went back to their own room to rest, the township examination is only nine days for the candidates, but for the examiner there is a full month, only after the township examination is finished they can leave the Gongyuan, before this Gongyuan is locked, and the Gongyuan is guarded by officers and soldiers and hidden masters.

When Jiang Song returned to the room, before he lit the candlestick, he saw a black figure standing opposite, which surprised him.
