I go to the ancient imperial examinations

Chapter 94
There is a water pavilion behind the three-sound building, and the lotus leaves in a pool tumble into green waves in the wind, so that people sitting by the water can't feel the heat of May.

"You won't be able to walk anymore!" Chongguang saw that Zhan Feiyu could still eat cakes one after another after the meal, and he stretched his long arms and snatched away the cakes and even the plates, and he was still hungry.

Zhan Feiyu wasn't angry either. He took out his veil and slowly wiped the corners of his mouth, then sat up straight, "Big brother, I didn't tell you about movable type printing, it's not that I don't believe you."

Chongguang stuffed cakes in his mouth and interrupted vaguely, "It sounds better than singing, if you..."

"I know." Three indifferent words sounded.

Chongguang was suffocated, but he didn't dare to refute his seventh master, so he could only turn his grief and anger into appetite and stuffed the cakes in his mouth.

Taking the time to glance at Zhan Feiyu, who was smiling and smiling, if it weren't for the fat girl's face with baby fat on her face, Zhongguang would have thought that the seventh master was fascinated by women.

Zhan Feiyu was really happy, and his smile spread from his brows, "Big brother, you are in the Dragon Guard. If you get hands-on with movable type printing and get the support and love of scholars all over the world, I'm afraid the harm will outweigh the benefit."

Yin Wuyan looked at the little girl who explained, "Gong Gao covers the Lord."

"Yes." Zhan Feiyu nodded, the elder brother was obviously a lonely minister, deeply trusted by the emperor, looking at the monstrous power, why didn't he dance on the tip of the knife.

Chongguang stuffed the last piece of pastry, took another sip of tea, reluctantly accepted the explanation, but still said, "You think too much, but you are an eight-year-old Mengtong, what's the matter in the courtroom? Can you guess?"

"My eldest brother showed me the secret letter of Jinlongwei a few years ago. The memorial that the champion presented to the sage accuses Jinlongwei of being too cruel in terms of punishment. He represents a scholar of Shilin." Zhan Feiyu was stunned. The heavy light, he laughed shyly.

The big brother just trusts himself, otherwise how could he show himself the secret letter of the Dragon Guard.

Yin Wuyan was weak and arrogant, but his expression was indifferent and arrogant, which made people ignore his age. At this time, looking at the little girl with flying eyebrows, Yin Wuyan's cold phoenix eyes softened a little, "Continue."

Zhan Feiyu instantly became a student who was tested by the master, and continued with a good attitude: "This memorial shows that many ministers in the court are angry with the Dragon Guard and dare not speak out, and the sage is also shaken, otherwise the champion will definitely Don't dare to hand me a memorial to test it out."

The art of kings lies in balance!So there will be discord since ancient times.

Civil officials are in charge of world affairs, military generals hold military power, and Jinlongwei is the sharpest knife in the hands of the emperor, supervising hundreds of officials for the emperor. The emperor is always a benevolent ruler who is diligent in government and loves the people.

The Dragon Guard knows too many secrets of the emperor, and after a long time, the emperor will be suspicious, and the Dragon Guard, which only depends on the trust of the emperor, can not lose the trust of the emperor, that is, the disaster.

Hearing this, Chongguang lost his anger, the fat girl was really thinking for the seventh master, "You have passed the test."

But after a long while, Chongguang couldn't help but ask the doubts that he had held back for a day and a night, "Even so, you can hand over this matter to us. You are not small, and you are not afraid of being killed and silenced."

Raising his brows, Zhan Feiyu squinted at Zhongguang, and his small eyes looked at him with contempt, "Uncle Zhongguang, you are the Dragon Guard, don't you even understand the reason why Yan Guo leaves marks? Long Wei is tantamount to getting involved in this matter, since ancient times, emperors have been suspicious, isn't this causing trouble for the big brother?"

"Ah!" His head was suddenly patted, Zhan Feiyu met Yin Wuyan's cold eyes, and touched his nose with a guilty conscience, "I won't say it anymore."

Eight-year-old Mengtong dares to talk about the emperor, how many heads does she have enough to chop off?
The despised Chongguang seriously suspected that Zhan Feiyu was taking revenge on himself, but he had no evidence!The key is that the seventh master is still protecting this fat girl.

"Careful in words and deeds." Yin Wuyan's indifferent expression did not see the waves, but saying these four words obviously brought Zhan Feiyu under his wings.

Zhan Feiyu nodded obediently, his soft little voice sounded pure and ignorant, "Big brother, I remember."

Yin Wuyan's thin lips twitched, the little girl is really smart, with her innocent appearance, who can believe that she just said the rebellious remarks.

Chongguang looked at Yin Wuyan and Zhan Feiyu who were answering questions and answers in front of him, as if he saw two great Confucians who were economical and helpful to the people discussing the strategy of governing the country in the courtroom.

After a while.

"Qiye, are all scholars so cunning?" Zhongguang suddenly felt that he had lived for nothing in his 20s, and if the fat girl was not only eight years old, she would definitely be a big "treacherous official" if she was put in the court.

"It's called a scholar who doesn't go out and knows the world's affairs!" Zhan Feiyu once again expressed his dissatisfaction with Chongguang, what is cunning!This is to plan ahead and take precautions!
If movable type printing is handed over to Yin Wuyan, although he does not touch his hands, he will definitely choose someone who is useful to him to take over the matter, but movable type printing is also a famous achievement for the emperor, and he will definitely send someone to find out the whole story.

This is a scholar's business, and it must be a civil minister who came to investigate, and Zhan Feiyu and Jinlongwei are involved. Once someone with a heart takes advantage of it, even if the emperor believes that Yin Wuyan has no intention of being a minister, he will still have a grudge in his heart.

Therefore, the safest way is to not get involved in this matter at all. No matter how you investigate it, it has nothing to do with Yin Wuyan.

Yin Wuyan asked in a deep voice, "How about studying in the county?"

What he just said was straightforward. Zhan Feiyu, who was pointing at Jiangshan, was instantly pierced by his disguise, and answered weakly: "I am reading with Master Dou now, my test poems are not good, and the master is teaching me from the beginning."

"Haha, fat girl, why are you cowardly?" Chongguang laughed unceremoniously, no matter how smart he was, he was still a little Mengtong who had never tried to be a child.

Although he really wanted to refute, but he was not confident enough, Zhan Feiyu squeezed out the words between his teeth, "Don't bully the poor boy! When I get the title of the Golden List, Uncle Chongguang, you won't be able to laugh anymore!"

"Fat girl, the champion of the new division is just a poor Hanlin from the sixth rank." Chongguang said sternly, patted his chest to show off, "You are not talented, and now you are a deputy thousand households from the fifth rank."

This is the truth, but it's still hilarious!

Zhan Feiyu, who was so angry as a puffer fish, twitched his brain and said, "So what? In the future, I will find a high-ranking officer to marry, which is directly the fate of the first-rank. Uncle Chongguang, if you have the ability, you can also marry!"

"I..." Chongguang wanted to refute, but he was the commander of Jingwei at the end of his life, a third grade!
Zhan Feiyu smiled at Zhongguang, this game, Xiaoyu wins!

The provoked Chongguang's brain twitched, "A first-rank official can be your grandfather! The grandson who is older than you will call your grandmother! Do you dare to agree?"

"Me?" Zhan Fei was annoyed, his eyes swept over Yin Wuyan who was holding a teacup, and the retort blurted out, "Then I'll marry the big brother! Let you call me madam every day!"

It's quiet in the waterside...

Zhan Feiyu lowered her head, her ears were red and hot, and she had never been so humiliated in her last life.

Chongguang originally wanted to laugh at Zhan Feiyu's whimsical, eight-year-old girl with baby fat hanging on her face, and those with small arms and short legs who dared to think about her own seventh master, she was not small.

But as soon as he looked up, he met Yin Wuyan's dark and bottomless phoenix eyes. After the heavy light, he realized that he was afraid. With a flicker of his figure, he fled from the water pavilion.

Shameless!Unrighteous!Zhan Feiyu stared at the escaped Chongguang, and she really wanted to escape...

The silence continued to spread, and the quiet Zhan Feiyu felt that he could hear his own breathing. As soon as he gritted his teeth, Zhan Feiyu raised his head, "Big brother, I'm in a hurry. I'll take my leave first."

"Sit down." Two words, neither light nor heavy, sounded.

Zhan Feiyu, who had just stood up and wanted to urinate, rubbed it and sat back again, put his hands on his knees, straightened his body, and sat in rows and divided the fruit...

Yin Wuyan's indifferent gaze swept across Zhan Feiyu's blushing face, "You're not a big man, and you're not too timid."

"I was wrong." He bowed his head and apologized. Zhan Feiyu was sincere. He wished he could pull Chongguang back and beat him. If Uncle Chongguang and himself were not fighting each other, could she have said this?

"Remember to be prudent in words and deeds." Yin Wuyan spoke again, looking at the little girl who nodded her head like a chicken pecking at rice, hesitated for a moment, and his big hand fell on top of her head and rubbed it twice.

"In two days, someone will come. Gu Qingzhou is a senior scholar of the Hanlin Academy, from Nanling Gu's family, and he had a classmate friendship with the saint. The person accompanying him should be the prefect of Nanxuan." Although this is speculation, but Since Yin Wuyan said it out, there must be a [-]% certainty that these two people came.

Zhan Feiyu nodded understandingly, the movable type printing technique is a big deal, and the sage will definitely send his confidants to come, and there is no more suitable candidate than the academician of the Hanlin Academy.

And he is from Shangsi County, returning to the Xuanfu in the south, and it is reasonable and reasonable for Zhang Zhifu to accompany him.

"Big brother." Zhan Feiyu raised his eyes to look at Yin Wuyan, and lowered his voice subconsciously, "Will there be people watching in the dark? Is it the emperor's dark guard?"

"Don't ask what you shouldn't ask." As soon as Yin Wuyan said these words, he saw the little girl pursed her lips and laughed, her little appearance looked shy and cute.

Perhaps it was because he was worried that Zhan Feiyu would make a taboo, so Yin Wuyan said: "The Dark Dragon Guard is responsible for protecting the safety of the Sage. So far, I have only heard of his name and no one."

Even Yin Wuyan had never seen anyone from the Dark Dragon Guard, but there were a few times when he faced the Holy Spirit in an emergency, he felt that someone was hiding in the dark, and they were all experts.

"I know, from today onwards, I will be cautious in my words and deeds, and I will not talk nonsense even when I am alone." Zhan Feiyu assured with a stern face.

Having dispatched his own dark guard, one can imagine how much the Holy Master attached great importance to movable type printing, and it also proved from the side how correct it was that Yin Wuyan did not get involved.

……

When Zhan Feiyu went back to continue the class, Yin Wuyan also left the county school.

Chongguang, who turned on his horse, couldn't help but ask: "Seventh Master, the fat girl deliberately avoided it, but we came to the county school so openly, didn't we fall short?"

"It's too late." Yin Wuyan threw out four words, raised his whip, and the horse galloped away.

What's the meaning?Chongguang didn't understand, but he couldn't care about it at this time, and hurriedly chased after him.

After a while, Leshan lived in the backyard.

Yin Wuyan went to take a shower and changed clothes, and he was lazy on the chair as if he had no bones. "Seventh Master and Fat Girl, one of them said that the merit is high, and the other said it was not enough. Seventh Master thinks I'm stupid, in fact, it's just to protect the fat girl."

Doctor Ji was making herbal tea, and took the words: "If the seventh master knows about movable type printing but is indifferent, the Holy Master may not be relieved but suspicious. The seventh master rushed to Shangsi County before Master Gu, which shows that the seventh master also has Selfish greed."

A minister without weakness, would the emperor dare to use it?

The Dragon Guard is a sharp knife in the hands of the Sage, but the seventh master has selfish thoughts, wants power, and wants revenge, so that the Sage dares to continue to be important to the seventh master.

Of course, Yin Wuyan does have the intention to protect Zhan Feiyu. He doesn't get involved in this matter, but he can protect Zhan Feiyu from becoming a victim of his desire for profit. This credit belongs to her, and no one can take it away!

Chongguang took the herbal tea handed over by Dr. Ji and poured it down in one gulp. Although it had a faint herbal smell, it also had a kind of coolness from the mouth to the heart, "The seventh master is really thoughtful, the fat girl will take the imperial examination in the future, who will Those who dare to chatter, those scholars can spray him to death."

Chongguang is inexplicably looking forward to it. The scholar is precious, but in fact, there are more things. In private, there is filth and darkness. The fat girl who studies the imperial examinations as a woman is controversial. , Now everyone can only keep their mouths shut.

……

In the study, Master Dou was reading a five-character six-rhyme poem written by Zhan Feiyu. "Slanting, Hua, Jia, Ya, Lai are six rhymes in the sentence, but the poem is smooth and smooth, and there is no literary artistic conception at all."

"Master Lin also said that I don't have the talent for poetry." Zhan Feiyu's ears were red after being criticized, and he dared not say that the poem she wrote for the first time made Master Lin angry.

Master Dou looked stern, but he was very patient with Zhan Feiyu, and said warmly: "Do you know how many poems a scholar of the Daqing Dynasty would write in his lifetime?"

Uh... Zhan Feiyu thought about it for a while, but anyone who wants to study for the imperial examination has studied hard for dozens of years, even if he is successful in his 30s, he must study for at least 30 years, more than 1 days, one song a day There are also more than 1 songs.

"Master Hui, I estimate at least [-] poems to be written." Zhan Feiyu's figure is quite conservative.

After all, I will write poems after the imperial examination, but the frequency is definitely not as much as before. I write about ten poems every month, and it is almost the same as [-] poems in my lifetime.

Thinking of this, Zhan Feiyu's scalp suddenly became numb, and studying for the imperial examination was terrible.

"No, a real scholar will write at least fifty thousand poems or more in a lifetime." Looking at Zhan Feiyu who was stunned, his dark eyes were round and round, Master Dou suppressed his smile and continued.

"For scholars, poetry has been integrated into daily life, the scenery of spring, flowers, autumn and moon, joy, anger, sorrow and joy, whenever you have a thought, you will write a poem, and you only write poetry for the imperial examination."

Zhan Feiyu understood, this is the difference between work and hobbies, the former is to support the family, the latter is from hobbies.

The literati of the Daqing Dynasty wrote poems because they liked it, and they naturally had emotions, but they were just to cope with the imperial examinations, so the poems lacked soul and seemed dry.

"Do you understand?" Master Dou asked, seeing Zhan Feiyu nodding his head obediently, he said with satisfaction: "From today onwards, I will write a poem every day and hand it in."

a bolt from the blue!

Zhan Feiyu stared blankly at Master Dou. After a while, he nodded resignedly and agreed, "Yes, Master, I understand."

After leaving school, Zhan Feiyu walked to Taifu Restaurant with a hopeless expression on her face. When she thought of one poem for every talent, she suddenly didn't want to work hard. Using movable type printing, she might be able to get a title from the sage.

If it doesn't work, she thinks harder, the formula of soap is fine, but if you can't get some glass out, then there is the big killer of gunpowder...

Zhan Wencheng is the fourth son of the village chief's family. He works as a handyman in the back kitchen of the Taifu Restaurant. He earns half a month's wages. Looking at the little girl walking in the crowd from a distance, he immediately greets him.

"Fourth brother." Zhan Feiyu shouted with a smile. After the adoption, his seniority was raised one level, otherwise he should be called fourth uncle.

"Xiaoyu, you're tired, come and take a rest first." Zhan Wencheng laughed as soon as he spoke, looking very simple and honest, but his eyes were full of light, but because there was no calculation, it would make people feel good.

Zhan Feiyu followed Zhan Wencheng to the restaurant, "I'm not tired, I used to walk in the private school before."

"Wencheng, this is Zhan Xiaomengtong, please go upstairs, the owner has been waiting for a long time." The shopkeeper greeted him enthusiastically, and smiled at Zhan Wencheng: "You accompany Xiaomengtong upstairs. , by the way, if there is any taboo, I'll let the kitchen prepare it."

This is a man who attains the Tao and ascends to heaven!Zhan Wencheng looked at the little girl walking in front. The second brother of the third uncle's family delivered food to the restaurant. The handymen in the kitchen not only did not treat themselves politely, but they were more crowded out.

But Xiaoyu just went to the county school to study, and even the shopkeeper was so polite to him, Zhan Wencheng couldn't help but make up his mind to send his eldest son to study!
In the private room on the third floor, when I heard footsteps, Master Xie came out.

After entering the private room, they greeted each other politely, but to talk about business, the housekeeper and Zhan Wencheng both withdrew.

"I heard from Wencheng that Zhan Xiaomengtong came for the business of delivering vegetables to Jinlin Village." Master Xie said with a smile, his attitude was kind, and with his fat figure, he was like a Maitreya Buddha, and there was no businessman at all. Smart calculation.

Zhan Feiyu smiled and looked at Master Xie, who still wanted to hold the shelf at this time, and his crisp voice sounded straightforwardly, "I thought Master Xie knew that I came here to give Master Xie a chance to make amends, so it seems that I want more already."

At the same time as the voice fell, Zhan Feiyu also stood up, "In this case, I won't disturb Mr. Xie, farewell."

"Zhan Xiaomengtong, please stay!" Master Xie hurriedly said, and his stand on getting up changed. He was not begging for mercy but begging for mercy.

But looking at Zhan Feiyu standing next to the bamboo bookcase, Master Xie had to bow his head and bow his head softly, "I just made a slip of the tongue, please be tolerant to Xiao Mengtong, please take a seat, please take a seat."

"Who was the Zeng family sealed up by? Master Xie must know very well, so I'm very curious why Master Xie made the same mistakes as the Zeng family?" Zhan Feiyu said with a smile, his dark eyes twinkling like a curious child.

Master Xie's face was a little stiff. After all, he underestimated the enemy and underestimated the little girl in front of him.

If he knew that she had Wei Suo's support behind her, and killed Master Xie, he would not dare to seek revenge. It was not because the Zeng family was seized that he lost some money. Compared with his own life, the money was nothing.

"I'm ashamed, old man!" Master Xie wanted to bow his head to a little girl when he was old, this is really embarrassing, "Fortunately, I didn't make a big mistake, otherwise I would have no face to face the ancestors when I went to Jiuquan. Zong."

This started to sell badly, and Zhan Feiyu's smile did not change, "Master Xie, as the saying goes, it is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge in ten years..."

Master Xie's expression became a little stiff again. Is she planning to settle accounts in the autumn after she becomes famous?
Even if Master Xie doesn't live by that time, the Taifu Restaurant is still there, and the descendants of the Xie family are still alive, and if Zhan Feiyu really takes revenge.

Not waiting for Master Xie to soften, Zhan Feiyu raised his eyebrows and continued: "But I don't agree with this."

"Master Zhan Xiaomengtong has a lot of people, and I admire it!" Master Xie immediately praised, as long as he doesn't take revenge, it's fine, scholars, peasants, industry and commerce!Master Xie really didn't dare to make such a big revenge for the Xie family.

"Master Xie is wrong, what I want to say is that the villain takes revenge, all day long! Ten years is too long, revenge must be done as soon as possible!" As soon as Zhan Feiyu said this, he saw the expression of Master Xie at a speed that was visible to the naked eye. Turn pale.

A little country girl, even if she has a talent for reading, has no fame!Master Xie thought that as long as it worked well, it would be easy to destroy Zhan Feiyu.

But the fact actually swelled Mr. Xie's face, otherwise he wouldn't be sitting here to make amends at this moment. Who would have thought that Zhan Feiyu would have the backing of the Weisuo, that is the Nanxuan Weisuo!

Thinking of this, Master Xie scolded Zhang Xiucai over and over again in his heart. If it wasn't for him to instigate, how could he fall into it!

"Zhan Xiaomengtong, the old man was also deceived by the gangsters!" The desperate Master Xie immediately gave Zhang Xiucai a confession. The dead Taoist friend was not a poor Taoist. He just asked Zhan Feiyu to raise his hand, of course, even if he lost some money.

Mr. Xie has already prepared an apology, but businessmen are like this. They won't break out of their bottom line at the beginning, and always try bit by bit.

And he stopped the business of delivering vegetables in Jinlin Village, but he did not ruin the marriage between his youngest daughter and Zhan Dalang. He also saved a bit of luck. If Zhan Feiyu became famous in the future, Zhan Dalang is her cousin. Without thanking the family, they are Zhan Feiyu's in-laws.

"Zhang Xiucai, would you like to hear the details?" Zhan Feiyu asked with a smile, his aggressive attitude slowed down.

Seeing this, Master Xie didn't dare to take Joe, and immediately told everything he knew.

After all, the root of all this is still Wang Linlang, otherwise Mrs. Lin would not have been poisoned.

A few years ago, Zhao San was unruly because of the death of his parents and no one to discipline him. No private school in Huai County dared to accept him. If a private school refused to accept him, the magistrate of Zhao could take the opportunity to attack him.

But several private schools joined forces to advance and retreat together, and the masters of the private schools were all scholars and famous, and the magistrate of Zhao also had to take into account a little, so Zhao San was sent to Zhang's private school in the early years, but he only read it for a year.

This time, Wang Linlang took refuge at Master Lin's house. After Zhao San found out, he handed a letter to Zhang Xiucai. The original intention was for Zhang Xiucai to send someone to arrest Wang Linlang and send it back to Huai County. Zhao San would definitely thank him at that time.

With Zhang Xiucai's greedy personality, he doesn't value Zhao San, but plans for Zhang Tianhao.

"You said Zhang Xiucai planned to let Zhang Tianhao go to Huai County for the imperial examination?" Zhan Feiyu was stunned for a moment. Zhang Tianhao's household registration was in Shangsi County, so he had to take the imperial examination here.

But it's a matter of human effort, as long as the household registration is in Huai County, and with Zhao San's help, the county magistrate Zhao will take care of it a little, and a child's name is appropriate.

As for the final academy exam, Zhang Xiucai was not sure that he could get the exam questions or other ways, but Zhang Tianhao was more likely to go to Huai County to make the list than in Shangsi County or Nanxuan Prefecture Imperial Examination.

Master Xie continued: "Zhang Xiucai planned for Zhao San, so he wanted to kill two birds with one stone."

Wang Linlang poisoned Mrs. Lin, and Madam Lu not only knew about it, but also helped to cover it up, but in fact it was Madam Lu who poisoned Madam Lin and let Wang Linlang take the blame.

And Madam Lu was bought by Zhang Xiucai long ago, because Madam Lu was a servant and a slave, and her son could not study for the imperial examination, so Zhang Xiucai used this as a bait to let Madam Lu take refuge with him.

When Zhan Feiyu heard this, he had already figured out the whole thing, and his eyes became cold and pressing, "Zhang Xiucai let Madam Lu poison my wife, and then let go of the rumors, just to ruin the reputation of my master and me."

This move not only ruined Master Lin, but also made the enemy Zhan Feiyu no longer able to stand up and take the imperial examination. A little girl Zhan Feiyu is just an ant who can be manipulated by others.

"If Wang Linlang returns to Huai County safely, and when she marries Zhao San in the future, Zhang Xiucai will have the evidence of her murder, and can use this to blackmail Wang Linlang and Zhao San, and ask them to give Zhang Tianhao a plan from the magistrate of Zhao. Li, it really is a perfect plan!" Zhan Feiyu's voice became colder, compared to Master Xie, Zhang Xiucai was her real enemy!
