Feudal scholar-bureaucrats reborn: marrying a husband and marrying a virtuous

After the debate, the crown prince and the third prince may have heard what they wanted to hear, or they were simply not interested in poetry, so they got up early and left.

The rest of the people kept silent about the debate just now, but they looked at Lin Fangxu with extremely complicated eyes, full of admiration, jealousy, and worry, so many that it was difficult to interpret.

Dong Kun, Shang Tan and the others were not in the mood to write lyrics and poems any more, and simply talked about their experience in the imperial examination tacitly, which was in line with the wishes of the onlookers. It's beneficial.

At the end of the first lunar month in the capital, it was the time when the spring was chilly. Although the guest rooms of the Marquis of Wu'an were heated, the cold wind was blowing in through the gaps in the open windows, making it very cold.

Lin Fangxu was wearing a long robe, got up and stretched out his hand to close it, but just as his fingertips touched the window sash, he heard the knocking sound of 'knock knock'.

Opening the window, I saw Jiang Shiyun wearing a black cloak, standing outside the window, then smiled and said softly: "Whose little brother is this, if you go out for a walk in the middle of the night, you are not afraid of being caught by wolves."

Jiang Shiyun raised his chin, snorted softly and said, "As far as I am capable, even my father can't find me in the front yard, and I can fight off any wolf."

Lin Fangxu looked at the little brother who waved his fist after speaking, and hesitated, "It's cold outside, do you want to come in?"

Jiang Shiyun blushed slightly, and said, "No need, I'll leave as soon as I say something, that..., will you offend all those scholars by saying that today?"

Lin Fangxu looked at his worried face, felt his whole heart was so warm that it seemed to melt, and replied: "How come, I didn't say anything?"

Jiang Shiyun said anxiously: "It's nothing!? You have said so badly about their purpose of studying, haven't you offended anyone yet?"

Lin Fangxu said meaningfully: "Isn't the purpose of their studies to serve the imperial court, help the community, and plead for the people?"

"Of course not..." Jiang Shiyun was half-speaking, and suddenly realized that literati love to flaunt their noble character, and who is willing to admit that they are despicable in their hearts.

Seeing Lin Fangxu laughing, Jiang Shiyun made a ball of snow and threw it on him, annoyed, "You are so cunning, when you enter the officialdom, there will always be someone who can stop you, let's see if you dare to take such a risk? !"

After speaking, he jumped out of the yard, Lin Fangxu brushed the white snow on his body, and thought, "What are you waiting for, aren't you restrained now?" '

Different from Lin Fangxu's flirting, Dong Kun was complaining to his grandfather in the study in the Dong family's courtyard: "Lin Dongsheng is really as annoying as his ancestors. He insisted on breaking what everyone knew! Such a person really I don’t know how he got a foothold in Slim.”

Dong Ge brushed his beard and said indifferently: "Why can't I gain a foothold? Isn't Lin Yushi famous in Qingliu? Hehe... When I was young, I heard your grandfather mentioned that Lin Yushi was also A person who can't rub the sand in his eyes, admonishing his boss for favoritism one day, and taking bribes from his colleagues the next, has offended many people, but a person like him is not only stubborn, but also has no flaws in moral integrity, making people want to take revenge. There's nowhere to start."

Dong Kun asked curiously: "Then what happened later, those who were offended by him can't just let it go."

Mr. Dong Ge laughed and said: "Don't forget it, one by one, just hold him, and send him to other places, from the county to the prefecture, and send him to the capital inspector's office." .”

Dong Kun said thoughtfully: "Hey... It seems that Lin Dongsheng plans to learn from his ancestors?"

Dong Ge squinted his eyes, and said in an unpredictable tone: "Only based on this matter, we can't be sure, let's just watch for now..."

But he didn't know that his deadly enemy, and he always listened to his grandson after he finished talking about the Wenhui, and said jokingly: "You are not afraid of the sky and the earth. Why are you not as courageous as the young man at the critical moment?"

Kong Jie dissatisfied: "Grandpa said it easily, whoever is an official will not seek some benefits for the family, and whoever has no private property, only people like Lin Dongsheng who have a small family and a family without thousands of millet

, it can be said with confidence. "

Kong Ge always hated Tie Bucheng and said: "Superficial...! He can be confident and confident, not because his family is rich, but because of the reputation left by Lin Yushi."

Kong Jie doubted: "But it's not his, Lin Yushi is famous all over the world, and it's not Lin Dongsheng."

Lin Fangxu, the elder of Kongge, admired it very much, and said with a full face: "It wasn't before, but it will be after the Wenhui. This kid has a big heart. This is to change Lin Yushi's reputation into his reputation, and even more so. It even became the reputation of the Lin family."

But Kong Jie was not convinced and said: "Although Lin Yushi has a good reputation, his end is not so good. Lin Dongsheng has offended everyone before he entered the officialdom. How will he mess around in the future?"

Kong Jie patted him on the head angrily, and cursed: "You elm lump...! As long as the Holy One reuses it, so what if you offend Guang?"

Kong Jie rubbed the back of his head with a embarrassed expression, "Indeed, the Holy Majesty is not Emperor Yang, Lin Dongsheng is quite a formidable kid." '

Naturally, Lin Fangxu didn't say those words for no reason. If he didn't want to be like his last life, no matter how good his political achievements were, he would also be making wedding dresses for others, so he could only go the wrong way and win the eyes of the king.

However, Lin Fangxu did it. Emperor Jianwen picked up the Wenhui record, read what he said again, and praised: "Compared with other scholars, Lin Jieyuan's talent and insight are really much higher. You are indeed a descendant of Lin Yushi."

Zhu Xuan smiled and said: "It seems that the emperor has found someone to break the balance?"

Emperor Jianwen's eyes were unpredictable, he put the document in his hand on the table, and said, "Yes, I found it, huh... Jiangnan is originally a land of fish and rice, but the tax revenue has been equal to that of the north these years. Why does the prince think?"

Zhu Xianzong said bluntly: "There are many officials and families in the south, and they have swallowed up good land. There are countless hermits in hidden fields, so naturally the tax revenue cannot be raised."

Emperor Jianwen smiled and said: "Since the crown prince understands this, then you can take care of Jie Yuanlang. I still want to test him in the palace examination, but what is the best way to deal with it?"

Zhu Xuan interjected at this time: "I think, Xianzong doesn't need to worry about this. He lives in Jiang Jun's mansion. Who would dare to go to Shacai's house to cause trouble?"

Emperor Jianwen and his son shook their heads and laughed when they thought of Jiang Jun's upright and protective temper.

Sure enough, as Zhu Xuan expected, after Jiang Jun heard about Wenhui, he sent four skilled guards to follow the three of them the next day.

In an important place in the capital, who would pay the price of offending the Marquis of Wu'an to embarrass a young man, even if he is quite talented now, so Lin Fangxu and the three waited safely until the three-yearly Ministry of Rites examination.

On the ninth day of February, the three of Lin Fangxu got up, washed their faces, dressed, ate, checked the examination box carefully, and got up and went out under the watchful eyes of everyone in the Marquis of Wu'an.

Shuntian Gongyuan, the most prestigious examination room in the entire Wei Dynasty, except that it was bigger than the one in Hangzhou, the rest of the regulations were exactly the same.Candidates assembled outside the gate by province and waited for the roll call to enter the venue. All the steps were the same as those of the rural examination.

Mr. Zhejiang Tixue Kou, who sent the exam this time, was not so lucky, and got the first entry.After the gate was opened, the Zhejiang Juzi, led by Lin Fangxu and five people, walked in carrying things under the envious eyes of others.

After an extremely strict search, Lin Fangxu and other provincial candidates were dispersed and assigned seats. After they found their seats in front of the ranking list, they separated.

Lin Fangxu cleaned up the test numbers, and after lunch, he opened the test paper and answered the questions carefully. Compared with the unfathomable level of the Tongsheng test and the striving for the top in the rural test, the general test is the most stress-free.

Probably because Lin Fangxu already knew the topic. After the provincial examination, he used different concepts and words to make sentences. He practiced it countless times, and even compared it with the previous chapter.

Unlike other people's impromptu performances, Lin Fangxu only needs to copy the best one in his mind, and read it again after answering. There is no problem. , Your own article will definitely win the first place. '

The Wei Dynasty attaches great importance to the selection of talents through imperial examinations

, so if your article is really well written, you will definitely be able to win the Jinshi, but if you are not really outstanding, it is hard to say what ranking you will get. After all, you are not the only one who has a good article, and who is ahead depends on a lot This is also the reason why Lin Fangxu took the risk to stand out at the literary conference.

There is no floor heating in the examination room, and the whistling north wind is like hell for southerners. Fortunately, Marquis Wu'an is thoughtful, and he prepared two small heaters for each person, holding one in his arms and putting them under his feet. one.

They also cut out thin sable fur, and sewed a pair of gloves with five fingers apart according to the shape of the three people's hands, so that they don't have to rub their frozen hands in their bosoms like other hands.

The general examination is also divided into three sessions, one session every three days. What is different from the rural examination is that candidates are not allowed to leave the examination room for nine consecutive days. Sloppy.This is still good, there are still many people with bloodshot eyes and pale complexions. It is not an exaggeration to say that they are evil spirits from hell.

When Lin Fangxu came out, he was much better than other people, except that his clothes were a little wrinkled, and he felt the same as usual, which made everyone sigh in their hearts, "A different person is really different in every way!" '

Shen Jing even complained directly: "Looking at Dongsheng's appearance, those who don't know would think that you just went to the Gongyuan for a spring, and then came out after an outing."

What can Lin Fangxu say...?You went in and racked your brains to solve the questions and answered them with all your might, but I was just here to fill in the answers; you spent nine days fighting with lamps and nights, and never had a good rest, but I closed my eyes and rested for five out of nine days; although it was not an outing, it was also Not far away.

When Jiang Shiwu and Jiang Shiyun received a few people at the gate of the Gongyuan, Shang Tan and Xu Zhongkang fell asleep on the cushions as soon as they got into the carriage.

Jiang Shiyun looked at Lin Fangxu's ruddy face, hesitant to speak, Lin Fangxu said helplessly after seeing it: "I didn't just go for a picnic, I answered the questions..."

Jiang Shiyun let out a snort, and bent over laughingly. Lin Fangxu looked at him and laughed too. Seeing Jiang Shiwu beside him, he was puzzled, "Little brother Lin is so energetic, why did he answer so well?"Or is it too bad? '
