Quickly pass through and refuse to be cannon fodder

It was the day when the rankings were released again, Yu Xiao had already fixed the location of the teahouse, and invited Yuan Jing and Sun Wenmin to go there and wait together.

Sun Wenmin was very nervous, he got up early in the morning and walked around the yard, looking at his blue shadow, Yuan Jing suspected that he didn't sleep well at night, Tao Dayong didn't get much better, only Yuan Jing and Sun Wenmin's hole The powerful book boy slept peacefully until dawn.

Seeing that Yuan Jing came out after breakfast refreshed, Sun Wenmin smiled wryly, "How old is Brother Yu, I'm not as calm as Yuan Jing, but I think this is also because of Yuan Jing's confidence."

As for him, Mr. Chen said, if you are lucky enough to get into high school, if you are lucky, you will get high school, and if you are unlucky, you will fail. At least, after living in this small courtyard, Sun Wenmin felt that he had made some progress, so he was even more frustrated. He hoped that he could still pass the exam.

"Let's go, Yu Xiao probably has to wait."

When a group of people arrived at the teahouse, the inside was already overcrowded, and there were people outside, but the door opposite was still closed tightly, and it was not time to release the list.

Yu Xiao waved to them from upstairs, Tao Dayong told his son to go up quickly, so they would not go, and stayed below to wait for the list to be released so that they could read the list earlier, Yuan Jing knew that this time his father would not be able to stop him, so he had to let him go .

During this period, I also met some students, and greeted many people along the way upstairs, but Yuan Jing was too short, far less eye-catching than Sun Wenmin.

Yu Xiao upstairs is quite popular. When they came up, there was a student in his 20s who was complimenting Yu Xiao. Yu Xiao, who was a lot shorter, held his head high and his chest high, looking arrogant When Yuan Jing and the others walked to the table, this student only slightly nodded at them, as if he didn't take them seriously.

Yuan Jing didn't care, just curious, Yu Xiao's status was obviously higher than he expected, but he was not in a hurry, when he went to the capital in the future, his family background would definitely be revealed.

When the man left, Yu Xiao pouted and said to Yuan Jing: "This early in the morning, everyone is talking about who is most likely to win the case this time."

Yuan Jing smiled and said, "Brother Yu, your voice is quite loud."

Yu Xiao is very proud in front of others, but after getting in touch with Yuan Jing, he knows that a mountain is higher than a mountain. He feels threatened from Yuan Jing, but it does not prevent him from making friends with Yuan Jing. Of course, the friends he makes must be with Yuan Jing. He is at the same level, so he can match, right?

Yu Xiao pouted again, and pointed to a guy over there: "Did you see the flirt over there? Many people sincerely think that flirt will be the top case this time."

Sun Wenmin looked over and couldn't help but laugh at Yu Xiao's description: "It's Zou Weiting, I also know this person, he has been famous since he was young, and he won the first trial case in Zhongxian County at fourteen, the reason why he only came to participate in the court now Try it, I thought it was for the first trial case in the court, otherwise, I would have won the honor of scholar in a long time ago."

Yu Xiao said disdainfully: "That's why I looked down on him. If I had the ability, I would take down the county chief and the court chief in one go. Waiting for two years is nothing."

While talking, Zou Weiting actually came over, and after cupping hands with Yuanjing and Sun Wenmin, he said to Yu Xiao: "Brother Yu, I went to look for you a few days ago, but you were not here, so I made new friends. "

Yu Xiao said unhappily: "My surname is Zou, I have nothing to do with you, don't call me brother Yu one by one."

Zou Weiting smiled with a good temper, seeming to tolerate Yu Xiao's bad temper.

Yu Xiaofeng turned around again: "Don't think you're sure of the case this time, Zou, I'll bet you won't get the case this time."

Zou Weiting raised his eyebrows: "Could it be you, Brother Yu?"

Yu Xiao reached out and pointed at Yuan Jing who was watching the show: "I bet it's my good brother."

Yuan Jing just took a sip of tea, and then sprayed it. Zou Weiting looked at Yuan Jing seriously for the first time, and his eyes showed surprise. He randomly pointed out a person to come out.

Yu Xiao continued to encourage: "If I win the bet, you will not come in front of me in the future, and roll as far as you can."

"You lost me?" Zou Weiting laughed.

Yu Xiao shrugged: "Don't say I won't lose, even if I lose, I will satisfy one of your requirements."

"Okay, Brother Yu is a straightforward person." Zou Weiting is like a luminous ball, attracting a lot of attention wherever he goes, so this table has also become the focus of everyone's attention. Most of the bets between Yu Xiao and Zou Weiting are not. I am optimistic about Yu Xiao, but who is that half-grown boy?

Someone who had contacted Yuan Jing in the past few days revealed his identity, and it turned out that he was another county case chief and younger than Yu Xiao.

"The list is released! The list is released!"

No one had the leisure to chat anymore, and they looked out one after another. They could look down on the teahouse and have a panoramic view of the scene opposite them. Of course, they needed excellent eyesight to see clearly the handwriting on the posted list.

If Yuan Jing couldn't, then no one else could.

Yuan Jing couldn't find his father for a long time, Yu Xiao was most at ease: "Don't worry, I asked several people to go in and look at the list, whoever sees it first will send it out as soon as possible."

Yuan Jing could only give him a thumbs up.

"Young master, young master passed the exam," someone squeezed out of the crowd, shoes were squeezed out, still running and yelling, "Young master passed No.3 in the exam, and young master Tao is the top case!"

"What? I'm the third? Which bastard is No.2?" Yu Xiao leaned on the railing and leaned out his upper body and asked.

The young man ran to the bottom of the teahouse and shouted, "It's Zou Weiting, Master Zou."

"Damn it!" Yu Xiao was furious. Whoever occupies No.2 is better than Zou Weiting. Why should Zou overwhelm him?

"Yuanjing, you're the case again?!" Sun Wenmin exclaimed in surprise.

Yu Xiao immediately became happy again, and laughed loudly, looking for Zou Weiting's people everywhere: "The surname Zou, did you hear that my good brother got the top of the case, and you ranked behind him. I won the bet just now, so you look down on me." People, your surname Zou is also today."

Those who were still waiting looked at the still calm Yuan Jing in shock. Was it true that this child whose hair hadn't even grown up got the test case?Some people wondered if they had misjudged, and then someone reported the name of the chief of the case, and it was still Tao Yuanjing, that's right.

"Master passed the exam." This time it was Sun Wenmin's book boy who squeezed out from the crowd, and a Kong Wu powerful book boy showed the advantage at this time, "Young master got No. 40 and nine in the exam!"

This time, a total of [-] students were admitted, and Sun Wenmin was the second last, but he was still in the admission ranks. Sun Wenmin was so happy from ear to ear, and Yuan Jing congratulated him.

"Come on, let's go back quickly, the happy news will be delivered next time, Brother Yu, let's make an appointment next time." Sun Wenmin urged Yuan Jing to go back to receive the happy news.

"I'll go downstairs with you, I should go back too."

Zou Weiting, who was left behind, was still in a daze. When his people came to him and confirmed to him again that he had taken the second place in the exam, and that the case was Tao Yuanjing, Zou Weiting smiled wryly: "I didn't expect that this guy Yu Xiao really expected him to take the second place." It's right, that's right, although this guy is arrogant, his vision is not bad, and Tao Yuanjing, who caught his eye, seems to have something to offer."

Go down and join Tao Dayong, who was overjoyed, and go back to the small yard together. When the good news was delivered to the door with drums and gongs, the neighbors on the left and right came to congratulate him. Tao Dayong even had a bright smile on his face. There is still a schedule, and he can't wait to pack his bags and go home to announce the good news to his family.

"Father, maybe the official messenger who announced the good news will arrive at Tao's Village before we go back."

"Really?" Tao Dayong was both happy and a little regretful that he couldn't stay at home in such a scene.

After the list was released, there was a Luming Banquet hosted by Xuezheng and the prefect. Yuan Jing, Yu Xiao, and Sun Wenmin acted together again. When they arrived at the place, they inevitably bumped into Zou Weiting. This time Zou Weiting fought Yuan Jing very seriously. He said hello, and no longer underestimated him because of his age and immaturity, and took part in the hospital examination together, of course knowing that the person who can get the top case is not just luck.

After entering, because Yuan Jing was the head of the case, of course his position was at the top, but no matter whether it was the Xuezheng lord or the magistrate, seeing him as a young man, making such a young and mature behavior, he couldn't help laughing.

They were all ambiguous when checking the examination papers, and when they finally opened the seal, no one expected that the head of the case they admitted would be such a half-grown child, but I have to say that the head of the case deserves its name.

Both of them love talents very much. If one is not about to return to Beijing, the other is about to leave. They both have the idea of ​​accepting Yuan Jing as a disciple. Studying at Bailu Academy.

When Master Xuezheng said something, the three of Yuan Jing quickly got up and thanked him, and the other students all showed envious and jealous eyes. Bailu Academy is famous, but there are many Jinshi, even the number one scholar. , In the future, I will definitely be able to pass the Jinshi examination and become an official.

The three of them left with the two adults' name cards and letters of recommendation. Yuan Jing was very happy. At present, he has too few books in his hands, and he knows very little about the imperial court. Bailu Academy should be able to satisfy him. The only bad thing is that it is too far away from home, so I can't go home often.

The three agreed on a time to set off for Bailu Academy together, and then went home separately. Yuan Jing and Sun Wenmin set foot on the way home together.

When they left Wenchang City, Yuan Jing found that the group of people who smelled of blood had also left Wenchang City. He did not go to the mountains outside the city. Get through this death.

On the first night out of the city, he stayed in an inn, and Yuan Jing, who fell asleep at midnight, suddenly opened his eyes and looked towards the window vigilantly. He saw that the window was pushed open and a hand came in, as if sensing someone. When he woke up, his hand stiffened for a moment, and then he continued to throw the things in his hand.

Yuan Jing quickly turned over and opened the door to go out. It was a man in black, who stood far away and cupped his hands at Yuan Jing, then turned around and quickly disappeared into the darkness.

It's him!Yuan Jing knew that only one person could do this, which means he is already safe, Yuan Jing turned back to the room, picked up the things on the ground, a piece of paper and a jade pendant were wrapped in a handkerchief, and dragons and phoenixes were flying on the paper There are a few large characters written:

Exchange favors with tokens.

Yuan Jing smiled. This man is really safe. The man in black is his subordinate who delivered the letter for him. It seems that he knows his whereabouts well.

He straightened the piece of paper, then found a book and clipped it in. As for the jade pendant, Yuan Jing shamelessly took it as a token of love, found a rope and tied it around his neck.

This jade pendant is of excellent quality at first glance, it is not something that people like them can have, so it is better to keep it close to your body for safety.

Well, that's it.

On the other side, in a house, a man in black floated in and pushed open the study door. Mu Chengan looked at him: "Have the things been delivered?"

"Yes, it's just..."

"Has he noticed you?" Mu Chengan guessed seeing his indescribable appearance.

"Yes, the prince is wise, and Tao Xiaoxiu even chased him out."

Mu Chengan laughed: "Sure enough, he's a brave one, I get it, you can go down."

"Yes, my lord."

While drinking tea, Mu Chengan was thinking about Tao Yuanjing, seeing that his actions did not match his age at all, how could a ten-year-old be so vigilant, but he was not surprised when it fell on Tao Yuanjing , There is also a feeling that it really is so.

However, which ten-year-old child can win the first case of the county trial and the first case of the court trial?Of course it was different from others, Mu Chengan looked forward to Tao Yuanjing coming to the capital to meet him in a few years.

When they were on their way home, as Yuan Jing said, the good news had been sent to Taojia Village by the official messenger, and the beating of gongs and drums attracted the whole village out. When they heard the result, they were all ecstatic , Mrs. Song and Mrs. Song wept with joy, and wiped their tears on the spot. It was the patriarch who reminded them of Xiqian, so they didn't neglect the officials who reported the good news.

"Okay! When Dayong and Yuanjing come back, let's kill pigs and sheep, please have a good time."

The villagers congratulated them one after another, looking forward to Yuan Jing's early return.

A ten-year-old young scholar must be a rarity even in the entire Great Xia.

Yuan Jing and Sun Wenmin first went to see the county magistrate, and then went to see Mrs. Chen, and then went back to their respective homes to cheer each other on when they met for banquets.

As soon as Yuan Jing and his father returned to Taojia Village, they were surrounded by enthusiastic villagers, and all kinds of compliments were poured out as if they didn't want money. What made Yuan Jing even more dumbfounded was that some aunts hugged their children, Thinking of a way to let his child touch Yuanjing, even if it's just the corner of his clothes, it's good to get a little bit of the talent and blessing of the young scholar.

On the second day after arriving home, no one could stop the Song family from slaughtering pigs and sheep to celebrate. The Tao family was very lively for two days. In addition to the villagers and the guests invited by Yuan Jing Tao Dayong, some people came uninvited and sent them off. It was not a small gift, and Yuan Jing handed over all these things to his father.

His father didn't stay outside for nothing these days, some things are clearer than him, he knows what to accept and what not to accept, and will never let his son's future be cast in the slightest shadow, his eyelids are not so shallow .

After Yuan Jing came back from the banquet at Sun Wenmin's, some things were about to be put on the agenda. Now that he has a certain right to speak, people in the clan will no longer treat him like a hairless child who can't do things well.

He was going to Bailu Academy to study, and he might only come back once or twice a year, so he had to settle the affairs at home so that he could leave with peace of mind.

Yuan Jing asked his father to invite the patriarch and several elders to the house to talk.

"Yuanjing, what do you want to do? You don't need to worry about family matters, you have your father here." Tao Dayong patted his chest, and when he walked out now, everyone said that he was the father of the little scholar, so he had more face up.

"Father, our family's life will get better and better. The gap between the villagers and the clansmen is constantly widening. If you want to live in Taojia Village, the better environment in the village will be good for Niu Niu.” Yuan Jing told his father what he thought, but he still had a concern, Tao Yuzhu’s existence was always a ticking time bomb, even if she was not included in the family tree, the patriarch He and the clansmen will also stand by him, but who makes this heroine too troublesome, so she has to be on guard.

After he could make the villagers and clansmen live a good life with his family, no matter what Tao Yuzhu tried, there would be no room for him in Taojia Village. The reputation of a literati these days is extremely important.

"Really? Yuan Jing, what do you want the big guy to do? Raise sheep with dad?" Tao Dayong had to say that his son was more considerate than his elders, and he deserved to be his son.

"Father, our family will raise the sheep, but we can grow herbs together to increase our income."

"Really?"

"Of course, I have done experiments in the past two years. The field I circled in the yard is the herbal medicine I planted. I have saved a lot of seeds in the past two years."

"Okay, Yuan Jing said yes, it will be fine, dad will go to the patriarch right away." Could he be wrong if he smashed it?You can't be wrong.

Hearing Tao Dayong say that Yuanjing has a way for everyone to live a good life together, the patriarch and elders came here excitedly. You can see the changes in Tao Dayong's family in the past few years. Who wants to live a poor life when they have a good life? ?

Yuan Jing told the patriarch and elders what he thought, and Tao Yonglin also came to listen to him. He admired this ten-year-old scholar very much, and thought that Tao Dayong was so lucky to have such a good son. I really hate him. You can't take it over and raise it.

Yuan Jing took them to the backyard vegetable garden to look at the herbs he planted. The old lady and Xiao Song had no idea what he was up to, but no one interfered and let him do it. Help, even though it's mostly a disservice.

Although the place is not big, several different kinds of herbs grow very well. After hearing Yuan Jing's introduction of the names and values ​​of these herbs, the patriarch and elders were all moved. This is much more cost-effective than growing crops.

In the first life of crossing, Yuan Jing asked people to set up several medicinal planting bases. He knew which herbs needed what kind of land and growth environment, so after screening, he was able to pick out the most suitable soil environment and economical for Taojia Village. The relatively high-value herbal medicine, plus the herbal medicine seeds he cultivated with some spiritual spring water, will not worry about not growing.

"Okay! Good job! Tonight I will call all the villagers to the ancestral hall for a meeting, and inform the whole village of this matter, to see if everyone is willing to follow Yuanjing and you to plant these herbs, but my family will definitely be the first to respond." The patriarch took the lead. take a stand.
