Tang Dynasty: The seventh rank of official residence, and you will be given the Ten Thousand People

On the way back to the hut, Fan Xin and Xiao Shi walked side by side on the road.

It wasn't until she saw her home that Xiao Shi took the initiative to break the silence.

"Mr. Fan, do you think I'm a particularly dirty person?"

Under Xiaoshi's nervous gaze, Fan Xin hesitated and didn't know how to speak.

He was afraid that his unintentional words would hurt this kind girl.

Upon seeing this, Xiao Shi's eyes flashed with sadness, and she forced a smile.

"Forget it, forget it, the whole city of Lanzhou thinks this girl is dirty, and you are not the only one."

"Let's go back."

Looking at the lonely back, Fan Xin sighed and chased after him.

Seeing that his sister and Fan Xin were back, Li Ci changed his previous attitude.

He hurriedly stepped forward and asked.

"Sister, has Governor Duan agreed to let me go to the Imperial Academy?"

Thinking of the previous scene, Xiaoshi shook her head.

"I don't know whether Inspector Duan has agreed or not. Anyway, just take the exam yourself."

Seeing that there was no hope of going to the Imperial College, Li Ci's face instantly turned pale and his eyes were dull.

"It's over, it's over. This year, there are only ten places in Lanzhou to be recommended to the Imperial Academy. Now I have no hope at all."

Speaking of this, Li Ci seemed to remember something and suddenly raised his head to look at his sister.

"Sister, why don't you dress a little more revealing and go to beg Governor Duan again? What if he agrees?"

Xiaoshi looked at her brother blankly, her heart completely turned cold. She never dreamed that she would be allowed to enter the Imperial Academy for herself.

The younger brother actually asked himself to sell his body to Governor Duan.

However, Li Ci, who was in a state of madness, did not notice his sister's pale face at all, and still asked her to see Duan Jishi.

Fan Xin couldn't stand it any longer, so he slapped Li Ci in the face.

"Shut up, you bastard! If you want to get into the Imperial Academy, just rely on your own ability!"

"Your sister doesn't owe you anything!"

"What do you think..." Li Ci was about to scold Fan Xin, but he saw the killing intent in his eyes.

He was so frightened that he quickly shut up and snorted at his sister.

"You wait, three years to the east of the river, three years to the west of the river, don't bully the young man into poverty."

"You will regret it one day when I am named on the gold medal list and become a high-ranking official with a generous salary!"

After that, he flicked his sleeves and robe and ran out.

"Little words!"

"Forget it, let him go. If you are so spoiled, you will hurt him sooner or later."

Fan Xin sighed softly after stopping the poem with reddish eyes.

One night passed, Xiaoshi got up early and made Fan Xin a hot porridge and rice.

And boiled two round eggs.

"I know you are the young shopkeeper of the Luoyang Chamber of Commerce, and your family has a lot of money."

"But I only have porridge and eggs here, so you just have to make do with it."

When it comes to the tone of the poem at the end, I feel a little inferior.

Fan Xin smiled and drank all the porridge in the bowl. Finally, he put two eggs in his pocket and prepared to eat them when he was hungry for the exam.

Before going out, Fan Xin said seriously to Xiaoshi.

"In my life, I have seen mountains of gold and silver seas, and I have eaten things that even the emperor has never eaten."

"However, there is no delicacy in the world that can compare to your bowl of porridge and eggs!"

After saying that, he got on the sedan chair and headed towards Hongwen Hall.

Looking at the back of the sedan chair as it receded, Xiaoshi had already burst into tears.

"Thank you Mr. Fan, you are the only one in the world who thinks I am clean."

"If there is an afterlife, I will marry you and be a clean wife..."

……

"Oh, brother Fan, why are you here? It's already half a stick of incense after the closing time of the examination room."

Seeing Fan Xin coming, Yang Feihong breathed a long sigh of relief and hurriedly stepped forward to help Fan Xin walk to the mountain gate.

"I'm sorry Yang Changshi, the exam is almost over, right?"

Fan Xin asked sheepishly, holding his stomach.

Hearing this, Yang Feihong smiled.

"Are you there yet? Governor Duan and Cui Jijiu have told you when you will take the exam."

"This exam is specially prepared for you, and everyone else is running with you."

While talking, the two came to the examination room, where Duan Jishi and Cui Ti were already waiting.

As soon as I saw him coming, I immediately waved my sleeves and announced the start of the exam.

In an instant, hundreds of officers with sabers walked into the examination room, each staring at a candidate.

When it was Fan Xin's turn, Governor Duan came over in person.

"Brother, don't be nervous. This exam is just a formality."

Saying this and waving, Yang Feihong came over holding an identical paper.

"The answers above are from the Imperial College. I guarantee you will pass smoothly. Just copy them."

"Thank you, Governor Duan..." Fan Xin cupped his hands gratefully and was about to copy it.

I don't want my stomach to growl again.

"Prince, look at this..."

"It's okay. Let's go to the toilet first. I'll ask Yang Changshi to help you answer the paper..."

An exam related to the fate of life was posted on the notice wall by the government after Fan Xin went to the latrine twice.

Not surprisingly, Fan Xin won the first place, and several other unofficial candidates were also written on it.

Seeing that they were admitted to the Imperial College, all the successful candidates cheered.

But those real candidates who failed shook their heads and lamented the fate of fate.

"Congratulations to Brother Fan for winning the top spot. Should we set off for the Imperial Academy?"

Cui Ti asked with a smile.

"Cui Jijiu, please wait a moment. I'll go back and say goodbye first."

After handing over to Cui Ti, Fan Xin hurried all the way back to the thatched cottage. Although it was a lie, he still wanted to tell Xiao Shi the good news.

Unfortunately, the thatched cottage has long been empty, leaving only a big rusty lock.

At this time, an old man came over, put down his hoe and said.

"Young man, please call me Fan Renyan. The girl who lives here asked the old man to tell you, don't look back and keep moving forward!"

"She is not worthy of you in this life. She will be your wife in the next life!"

Fan Xin took a deep breath, took out an egg from his arms and handed it to the old man with both hands.

"Old man, tell Xiaoshi, it's not that her body is dirty, it's that the world is dirty."

"One day I will eradicate the ugliness in this world and restore a bright and prosperous world to the Tang Dynasty!"

"By then she can live innocently!"

"Also, please tell her my real name is Fan Xin."

"When he becomes the most powerful person in the world, he will definitely welcome her to live in Zhonglie Mansion in a glorious manner."

"Anyone who violates these words will be punished by both humans and gods!"

After saying these words, Fan Xin walked towards the official road without looking back.

Looking away from him, the old man sighed and opened the hay on the firewood pile.

"Daughter, such a good young man is rare in the world. If you miss this village, you won't have this shop."

"Grandpa Meng!"

There are only little poems and loud cries left in the empty wilderness...
