Meng Zezhi's front foot came out of the Gongyuan, and the case of the back foot ginseng soup came to the bottom.

"I didn't expect Aunt Xu to be so courageous..." Shiqin said while serving Meng Zezhi to wash, "That maid was a newcomer who had just entered the mansion two months ago. I heard that it was because her father was sick. Without money to treat him, her family was desperate, so she sold her into the mansion for a couple of dollars."

Shiqin did not sympathize with her at all. Being poor has never been a reason for being evil alone: ​​"Her father's illness worsened the other day, and she was so anxious that she couldn't sleep all night. If you don't sleep at night, there can be no energy during the day. That’s all for her work. She was often scolded by aunts and stewards that day."

"Aunt Xu didn't know where she learned about this. She sent her brother to find a gangster on the street and sent a letter to the maid. The letter contained a twenty-two taels of cash. Give her another hundred taels of silver, isn't that maid's heart moved?"

"Waiting for the day of your exam, her confidant was lying in ambush with her face covered. When Shiqi passed by, she knocked her out by sneak attack from behind, and then asked the maid to change into Shiqi's clothes. He came in with a cup of ginseng soup mixed with arsenic. Fortunately, God opened his eyes, the maid was too nervous and messed up the matter!"

"Aunt Xu thought that her plan was not leaking, and even if the matter was revealed, she could not be found. As a result, her younger brother drank more wine yesterday and couldn't help complaining about it with his group of fox friends. The maid came and said that if it weren’t for the maid’s uselessness, his elder nephew would be the future son of the Guogong Mansion. His group of fox friends and dog friends were all the masters who saw the money, and sold him without even thinking about it. Exposed..."

Meng Ze knows but smiles silently.

How could there be such a coincidence in this world, I'm afraid that person did it.

"The truth is falling out of the water, no, this morning, the lady sold Aunt Xu, the fifth young master... Zhao Yikang and Zhao Yide were also sent to the Zhuangzi by the grandfather of the country. If nothing else, in this life I can't come back. There is also the second lady, I'm afraid she will be returned by her husband's family in a few days, and I feel relieved when I think about it."

Meng Zezhi didn't have much thoughts about this, but don't want him to pity Zhao Yikang's family for this.

In late February, the list will be released on a trial basis.

Zhao Lingwu couldn't wait to receive the good news from the newspaper, and opened it to read: "Good news, young master Zhao Mingyi'an, the first Huiyuan of Bingshu Science Test High School."

"Good, good," Zhao Lingwu was flushed with excitement, and then waved his hand: "Reward, both rewards, heavy rewards!"

The Xiao family also looked happy and said at the right time: "Butler Qiao, order to go down. Today, everyone in the house will be rewarded for one month's money. From the yard of the Nine Young Masters, reward for three months."

"Yes." Qiao Renyuan replied immediately.

Hearing this, the smiles on the faces of the maidservants instantly became more sincere, and they shouted in unison: "Master Xie Guo, Mrs. Xie, congratulations to the nine young masters, congratulations to the nine young masters..."

In the evening, the Guogong Mansion hosted a banquet.

There is another compliment and flattery in between.

It's two more days to eat and drink and send away the guests.

After drinking the anti-alcohol tea under the service of the young man, and taking a hot bath, it was out of the wooden barrel, and most of the chaos in his mind disappeared.

Suddenly heard a noise coming from outside the door, Meng Zezhi asked casually: "What's the matter?"

After a while, Shiqin walked in: "If you return to the son, Lord Guo sent two large boxes of things and two hundred taels of gold."

"Yeah." Meng Zezhi replied, saying that he knew it, and then as if thinking of something, he said: "By the way, I remember it will be my mother's birthday in two months. Let's take this. Two hundred taels of gold and the gold ingots I have saved over the years were sent to Jinfu Pavilion in the east of the city, so that they could melt and cast a golden Maitreya Buddha statue to make it more refined."

Since five years ago, the Xiao family felt his future situation in the Huguo Temple, and has been completely obsessed with ritual Buddha.

"As for those two boxes, please register them together with the gifts you received today and store them in the warehouse."

"Yes."

After speaking, Meng Zezhi raised his brow slightly as if he had sensed something, and said, "Okay, you all go down."

"Yes."

"Also, there is no need to keep someone on duty tonight." There is a small room next to Meng Zezhi's bedroom, where maids take turns on duty.

Hearing this, Shiqin was stunned for a moment, and then reacted, vaguely as if he had guessed something, but said nothing, but blessed the body and said: "Yes."

When all the servant girls retreated, Meng Zezhi opened the window and said, "Since it's here, just come in, it's weirdly cold outside."

For a while, nothing happened outside the house.

Meng Zezhi let him be shy, but found the "Pin Hua Bao Jian" from the bottom of the box, and turned it over quickly.

After about a quarter of an hour, Xu Shi was mentally prepared, only a slight footstep was heard, and an extra figure appeared under Meng Zezhi's feet.

"Don't run away?" Meng Zezhi raised his head to look at the incoming person, half-squinted, lazy.

Lu Li didn't say a word, his eyes touched the page in Meng Zezhi's hand, and his throat was dry.

Then he was pulled into his arms.

Lu Li subconsciously tightened his spine.

"Relax." Meng Zezhi dropped the book in his hand, forcibly pressed the person on his thigh, put his head on his neck, took a deep breath, and laughed.

He said hoarsely: "Come here after taking a shower?"

Lu Li breathed slightly, feeling that he had become a piece of meat voluntarily delivered to Meng Zezhi's mouth.

"Then I'm not welcome."

As he said, he bit on Lu Li's Adam's apple, put his arm around his waist, untied his belt with the other, and touched it in.

While dazhuang, Meng Zezhi bit his ear and asked, "Do you know what Zen Master Huihe gave me?"

"Yeah." Lu Li panted roughly, zhangkaitui, with a drop of tears sliding down the corner of his eyes.

If it hadn't been for this, he wouldn't appear in front of Meng Zezhi again.

As expected, he was crazy, and he was deeply rooted in a boyhood who had only been with him for less than a month, even abandoning his own principles, and hilarious that the other party could not marry a wife in a short time.

He thought, four years, enough time for Meng Zezhi to get tired of him.

Meng Zezhi asked again: "Do you think we are like an affair like this?"

Lu Qi, who was full of inner play, was slightly sour, he put his arms around the waist of the man, feeling his youth.

But everything in my mind seems to be a lot bigger than the last time.

The cloud sells rain ji.

Meng Zezhi hugged and landed, sleepy, he asked: "When will you come next time?"

In the words, it is like an outer room waiting for the adulterer's luck.

Lu Li reluctantly regained his energy. After thinking and thinking, he hummed, "It's the sixth day of next month."

"it is good."

On the first day of April, the hall test opens.

Different from the meeting test, the palace test is held in the Baohe Hall in the Forbidden City. There is only one test and question, and the participants are the Gongshi who are admitted to the test. In the reign of Emperor Renzong of the Song Dynasty, Zhang Yuan, a tribute who was ousted in the palace examination, went to Xixia, the post official to the Taishi, and caused huge damage to the Northern Song Dynasty. Therefore, at this point, the tribute has not been rejected in the palace test, but the ranking is re-determined.

After the etiquette such as search, roll call, scatter papers, praise and worship, the test questions were finally sent to all the candidates.

Compared with other nervous Gongshi, Meng Zezhi is much more relaxed, because everyone knows that the champion of this class is already in his pocket.

"Today the provinces of the southern region, the land of the ancient barbarians... there are those who have learned and literary skills and are the ones who are the national sacrifices, there are the champions and the first officials to the Hanlin scholars, there are blunt voices and the voices of entering Lianjing at that time... …And the provinces in the north can’t deal with each other first after being a character, why the northern officials rarely have a good name..."

The translation of the test questions is that the southern provinces, which used to belong to the barbarians, have now produced so many outstanding people, while the northern provinces were originally the birthplace of the Central Plains culture. Why can’t there be a few well-known officials now? ?

After thinking about it for a moment, Meng Zezhi knew the purpose of Emperor Guangde's question.

Why the northern officials are not better than the southern officials? In the final analysis, the number of northern officials in the court is far lower than the southern officials.

As mentioned above, the southern style of writing is prosperous, and the country has only been established for 25 years. It has held 13 examinations and admitted more than 2,000 scholars, of which three-quarters of southern candidates.

Let's talk about the examination of this subject. There are more than 4,300 candidates for the exam, and 200 tributes were admitted. Among them, 85% of the southern candidates and only 15% of the northern candidates.

If things go on like this, the court will be occupied by the southerners. Once the northern scholars pass into the officialdom and shake their confidence in the new dynasty, the consequences will be disastrous.

As for how to solve this problem-

Simple, just follow the example of the Ming Dynasty and make a list of the north and the south.

Thinking of this, Meng Zezhi struck up the draft.

Let me first explain the reasons for this phenomenon. It is nothing more than the three southern crossings and the Meng Yuan massacre of the Han people in the North.

Then state your point of view. Northern scholars are not good at scientific research, but that doesn't mean they are not good at being officials.

Finally, a solution is proposed, which is divided into exams, and on the basis of six in the south and four in the north, the provinces and regions are divided in detail.

Only in this way, it is bound to greatly harm the interests of southern scholars.

Meng Zezhi has no psychological pressure on this, after all, he is a northern scholar of southern origin.

Because of this, when most of the candidates were frowning, Meng Zezhi had already drafted the draft drastically.

Seeing this scene, Emperor Guangde stood up from the dragon chair, walked down the steps, stood beside Meng Zezhi, and did not leave until he finished writing.

Half a month later, Meng Zezhi was named the champion in the palace test.

At the Biography Ceremony, Emperor Guangde summoned the top three in the first class. When he asked Meng Zezhi, he was dressed in a tribute official uniform with three branches and nine-leaf crowns. What's more, I couldn't help asking: "Can Aiqing have a marriage?"

His favorite six princesses are sixteen years old this year, and they match Meng Zezhi.

"This..." Meng Zezhi hesitated.

The **** Tao An immediately attached to Emperor Guangde's ear, and whispered: "If you return to Long live, the other day, the Zen Master Huihe gave the number one life to the champion..."

"That's it..." Emperor Guangde looked disappointed, because he was seriously ill at that time and really didn't know about it.

When Meng Ze knew that he was twenty-two years old, the six princesses were all twenty, which was really wrong.

But this did not hinder Emperor Guangde’s affection for Meng Zezhi, and he waved his hand: “The six yuan and the first mansion were bestowed, and he was awarded a bachelor’s degree from the Fifth Grade Hanlin Academy, with a reward of sixty taels and silver six hundred taels. Six pieces of palace silk."
