Lord of Earth Fiend

Chapter 184 The Good News Biography, Chen Jieyuan

Chen Jin has his own worries, Wang's, Chaoyang Temple, and Jiangzhou Confucian Temple...

These three forces are all existences that he has to be vigilant and fearful of.

Fortunately, the current countermeasures are appropriate. After Taoist Chi Yuan left, the next period of time was calm and peaceful.

However, Chen Jin regards it as "the calm before the storm".

……

After the exam is over, it is time to mark the papers, which will last for several days.

This period of time is also quite stressful for the candidates, anxiously waiting to see if they can pass the exam.

In order to relieve their inner anxiety, many examinees will choose to go out, meet with friends, climb mountains and swim, recite poems and write poems, and so on, which can also enhance friendship.

It's just that in the past two or three months, the situation outside the city has not been very peaceful, there are bandits causing troubles, causing many troubles.

For safety reasons, the candidates did not go out of the city and only wandered around the city.

During this period, many students came to Chen Jin and invited him to hang out, including Cheng Ming, who also took this year's exam.

But how could Chen Jin have those thoughts?All rejected.

His attitude of rejecting others from thousands of miles away naturally offended everyone, who felt that Chen Jin's temperament was too aloof.

People who don't fit in are bound to be isolated and excluded.

For these, Chen Jin didn't care, he was not a fellow, and if they couldn't get together, why waste time to socialize and cater?

If you have this skill, you might as well practice more and improve your strength.

Gu Leyou was the only one he interacted with.

After the exam, the Taoist priest visited the door more often. The two drank happily, exchanged Taoism, and chatted daily:

"Scholar, after you pass the exam, do you still have to go to Shou'an, the capital city, to continue the exam?"

Chen Jin replied, "Almost."

"So, wouldn't you be leaving Jiangzhou soon?"

The test is in the second year of the exam, and it is scheduled for the beginning of March in spring, so it is also called "Chunwei".

Therefore, candidates who are qualified for the exam will enter Beijing in advance to prepare well.Especially for those with long distances, they often enter Beijing half a year in advance, or even a year.After all, there are too many unexpected factors on the road, and with sufficient time, the fault tolerance rate is high.

Chen Jin said: "Even if I don't take the exam in Beijing, I will leave Jiangzhou and go to Zhongzhou. Of course, Zhongzhou is also a central axis to the capital, and the two are not in conflict."

"To Zhongzhou?"

"There is a woman waiting for me. I promised to marry her."

Hearing this, Gu Leyou came over suddenly: "That's your junior sister, I guess."

"good."

Chen Jin readily admitted.

Gu Leyou gave him a thumbs up: "You can only be your husband if you have love and justice... But your teacher has passed away, will there be any changes here?"

"It's possible, but I'm not afraid."

Gu Leyou looked at him: "I know you are not afraid, but you provoked the Wang family in Jiangzhou, and the Su family in Zhongzhou, so it will be very difficult."

Chen Jin shrugged: "If they have to make trouble with me, I can't help it."

Gu Leyou said with a smile: "What I mean is that although those famous families have many people, there are also people around you, scholar. Therefore, I decided to risk my life to accompany the gentleman and go to Zhongzhou with you."

"What are you going to do?"

"I told you before, a good man has ambitions everywhere, and wants to travel all over this beautiful country."

Chen Jin asked, "Then what about your Taoist temple?"

Gu Leyou said indifferently: "It's just a Taoist temple, Su Yun and Nie Feng are taking care of it, it doesn't matter if I'm here or not."

After a pause, he said seriously: "Scholar, you don't want me to be bound by a Taoist temple and be trapped in it. A casual cultivator like me, if he doesn't take advantage of his youth to go out and make a living, he won't There is an opportunity to improve."

He was right, people, only by going out, can we encounter opportunities.

Of course, opportunities always come with risks.

Chen Jin smiled: "No matter what decision you make, I will definitely support you, as long as you think it through clearly."

Gu Leyou laughed loudly: "I've thought about it a long time ago, and the Taoist temple has already made arrangements."

"What about Liu Yuan?"

"If he doesn't go, he will stay in the Taoist temple and have a good time... If the Wang family doesn't make trouble, but if there is a riot and there is no way to gain a foothold in Jiangzhou, we will have to take him with us to escape."

Chen Jin nodded: "That's the truth."

Gu Leyou asked again: "When will we leave?"

"After the list is released, it will be about a few days."

"Row."

After the two made an appointment, Gu Leyou went back to Izumo Temple.

……

Wangjiaxiang.

Wang Zhixiang has been very busy these days. On the one hand, he searched for clues about Huang Banxian; on the other hand, he had to do ideological work on his son Wang Yujun; on the other hand, he had to pay attention to Chen Jin's situation.

According to reports from the eyeliner, Taoist Chi Yuan once went to find Chen Jin, and then left.

It can be seen from this that the suspicion on Chen Jin no longer exists.

Thinking about it, this son is just a talented poet, with poetic talent and literary talent, as for other things, there is nothing suspicious.

The friendship between Chen Jin and Gu Leyou was brought from Lingnan, and there was no need to check it. After all, Gu Leyou himself was a casual cultivator who hadn't entered the mainstream yet.

For this reason, Wang Zhixiang became more and more inclined that the two priests of his family died in a fight.

As for the attitude towards Chen Jin, there is no need to deliberately target it.

In fact, the goal of doing so many things before was just to attract the other party to his side.

There is no other grievance and hatred.

Later, Chen Jin was regarded as the object of the spell, which happened at the right time. With the disappearance of Huang Banxian, this matter has failed.

Therefore, it would be meaningless for Wang Zhixiang to go to trouble Chen Jin again now, and it would be unavoidable for Wang Zhixiang to bully the small.

After all, Chen Jin also has another identity. He is Su Xiaowen's disciple. It is said that he is going to marry Su Jin, so he will be Su's son-in-law.

For Su Jin, Chen Jin rejected Wang's daughter.

This matter has already spread.

Although it is said that even if Chen Jin becomes the son-in-law of the Su family, the Wang family will not care, but when it comes to the relationship between the clans, there will always be concerns.

That's the end of it. Anyway, Chen Jin has already passed the exam. How is his future? Waiting for the results to be announced.

Whether you can pass the exam is a very important watershed.

If you fail the list, you will return to your original form; if you get the list, your identity will suddenly change.

……

Time flies, and the days pass quickly.

This day is the big day for the exam.

Different from the boys' test, the ceremony of releasing the rankings in the Juzi test is much more grand.

In the first procedure, the complete list will be posted on the wall outside the entrance of the examination institute, which is also the first to be released.

Therefore, many candidates mainly asked their family members or followers to wait for the list outside the entrance of the examination institute, and when they saw their names, they came back immediately to announce the good news.

In the second procedure, someone will rush to Kaozi's residence to report the good news, whether he lives in the state capital or in a county or town below.

The third procedure is to write multiple copies of the list, and post the list in prominent places in the yamen and city gates.

In this way, as long as he wins the election, his name will soon spread in the local state capital.

The title on the gold medal list for the general examination is "knowledge of the world"; the title on the gold medal list for the imperial examination is "knowledge of the prefecture", which is slightly inferior, but not bad.

It was just dawn, and the examination hall was already bustling with people. Hundreds of people crowded together, trying to occupy the best position, so that they could see the posted list of honorees at the first time.

"Sir, don't we really want to see the list?"

Jiang'an house, Xiaoqian asked.

Chen Jin said calmly: "It's not too late. If you win, someone will come to announce the good news."

"Young master will definitely win."

Xiaoqian said confidently: "It seems that we need to prepare Xiqian candies, I will prepare them."

Chen Jin: "..."

Although he feels that he did well in the exam, in this highly subjective exam, no one dares to say whether he will win the gold medal in the end.The more talented you are, the easier it is to fail.

Half an hour later, there was a rapid sound of horseshoes.

Xiaoqian in the room heard the movement, and said happily: "The person who announces the good news has come, I will go to meet it."

Going out quickly, seeing someone coming, I couldn't help but pouted: "Gu Daochang, why is it you?"

Gu Leyou got off his horse and said with a smile, "What? Am I welcome?"

"I thought it was to announce the good news to the young master. I was happy for nothing."

The girl is a little bored.

Gu Leyou stepped into the yard: "Can't I come to announce the good news?"

"What's the good news for you?"

Xiaoqian asked curiously.

Walking into the room, facing Chen Jin, Gu Leyou made a speech: "Scholar, congratulations, great joy."

Chen Jin looked at him, and suddenly said, "Have you checked the list?"

Gu Leyou said: "You are still smart and you can guess right. Xiaoqian can't do it."

Xiaoqian didn't care about dawdling with him, and asked, "Young Master, have you won? How many places?"

Gu Leyou was still playing tricks: "Scholar, sometimes I really admire you, you are simply all-rounder, omnipotent."

Xiaoqian was in a hurry: "Gu Daochang, if you don't talk about it, next time I come, I won't give you meat and drink."

"This is not okay... I'll just tell you the truth. Your young master is so impressive this time. Not only did he win, but he is also the leader, No. 1, Jieyuan. From then on, he has another name, and he is called ' Chen Jieyuan'."

Hearing this, Chen Jin heaved a sigh of relief. He had a certain amount of confidence, but he didn't expect that he would pass the No.1 exam.

Although it is said that the ranking in the exam is not important and has no practical significance, it is nice to be at the top after all.What's more, this is No.1, with a very glamorous name.

Got it!
The sound of horseshoes is urgent, this is the real messenger of good news: "Happy news! Congratulations to Chen Jin, the young master of the Chen family..."

……

In the study, on Wang Zhixiang's desk is a freshly released Gui Bang, with hundreds of names densely written on it.

These are the list of titles for this year's Jiangzhou Juzi Examination Gold List. Among them, three members of the Wang clan passed the exam, which is quite impressive.

But now, Wang Zhixiang didn't care about that. He only stared at the first name on the list.

After looking at it for a long time, he sneered and said, "Sure enough, it's not a thing in the pool, the horns are so tall!"

Grabbing the list, pinching five fingers, it immediately turned into pieces of confetti: "Come here, find Bao'er to meet me..."

……

Since moving into this riverside house, the house has never been so lively as it is today. The messenger who announced the good news left, and the nearby "neighbors" immediately rushed to hear the news, and they all came to rejoice.Although there was almost no contact with each other before this, it is no longer important;
Then Chu Xiucai, this time with his wife and children, all came to congratulate.Looking at the radiant Chen Jin, Chu Xiucai had mixed feelings, and his attitude was even more respectful.In his mind, Chen Jin is the most powerful person he can get to know;

All the colleagues from Izumo-Kan, including Su Yun, Nie Feng, etc., all came with generous gifts.Their friendship with Chen Jin was mainly through Gu Leyou's introduction, but that didn't stop this visit from being the icing on the cake. No one can have too many connections.

There are also a group of classmates from Jiangzhou College...

Lin Zhicheng and Cheng Ming, who also took the exam, all failed and were very depressed.Even so, you still have to wake up and congratulate yourself.

Chen Jin was elected at a young age, and he was the leader, so his future is bright.

Such a character object cannot be missed.

The excitement continued for several days, and there were many banquets, among which the Luming Banquet was the highlight.

All kinds of entertainment cannot be pushed away, and Chen Jin also let go, since there is no need for money anyway.

On this day, it was Wang Yubao who came to congratulate him. There were large bags and small boxes on the carriage, and the etiquette was very important.

"These are all for conservation."

"I dare not take it, I am ashamed of it, I dare not accept it."

Wang Yubao's face was serious: "Shou Heng, if you say that, do you still have a grudge?"

Chen Jin hurriedly said, "How come? I was able to qualify for the examination this year, thanks to Brother Wang's help and support."

After the two exchanged pleasantries, Chen Jin asked Xiaoqian to accept all the etiquette.

After sitting down in the hall and drinking tea, Wang Yubao said directly: "Shu Heng, you will be high school and take the examination next year."

"If there is no accident, it should be."

"Hehe, it's so good, let's go together?"

Wang Yubao was also a civil servant, and he had passed the general examination once, but he failed.

The same is true for Wang Yujun.

Chen Jin replied: "Unfortunately, in two days, I have to leave Jiangzhou and go to Zhongzhou."

"Go to Su's house in Zhongzhou?"

"Well, you can't break your promises to others."

Wang Yubao praised: "What a man whose clothes are getting wider and wider. This time, the lovers finally get married."

Chen Jin said: "I hope so."

"Oh, Shou Heng, from your tone, are you worried that Mrs. Su will refuse to marry Su Jin to you?"

Su Xiaowen died, Su Jin was the only one left in his room, and women are not qualified to be the masters, especially girls who have not left the cabinet.

Therefore, this marriage must be approved by the elders of the Su family.

Chen Jin said: "I'm just worried. I won't know the details until I get to Zhongzhou."

Wang Yubao took a deep look at him, with a smile that was not a smile: "Compared to the Su family, my Wang family has already agreed. It's a pity that you have your own heart."

Chen Jin hurriedly said: "I can't be a person who doesn't keep his promises, who starts chaotically and ends up abandoning him."

"Forget it, then I wish you a safe journey and success."

Wang Yubao said, and quickly took his leave.

Back in Wangjiaxiang, he was stopped by his cousin Wang Yujun: "How was the talk?"

Wang Yubao shook his head: "He said he wanted to leave Jiangzhou and go to Zhongzhou."

Wang Yujun grinned: "Sure enough, he has a backbone, but I heard that the road from Jiangzhou to Zhongzhou is very uneven. Thieves and bandits are rampant, evil spirits haunt, and people often die. It's a pity..."
