Chapter 146 [One step away]
Cheng Yu induced his energy to breathe. After walking for a Zhoutian, he closed his eyes and focused his mind to observe. According to his own judgment, with the complementary combination of spiritual energy and Wen Zheng's energy, it seemed that he was only one step away from the final solidification of the soul.
Or, it's just one opportunity.
"call!"
He let out a long sigh, and Jiafei next to him also saw the clues and thought to himself: This great immortal from the outside world seems to be one step closer to his complete recovery.
"Congratulations to Brother Cheng, his cultivation is getting deeper."
Cheng Yu smiled slightly when he heard this, stabilized the breath in his soul, and looked at Zhuang Huaijin's group of voluntary power again.
Um?
The air mass has not completely dissipated, and the stagnant aura on it is still there.
This scholar, the disaster is hard to eliminate...
…
"Father, why is this?"
At this time, Qian Ruyu, who was in the inn opposite the Gongyuan, was asking Qian Linhong in disbelief.
"Bang!"
A teacup was smashed to pieces by Mr. Qian.
"The old thief from Tiansha is bullying me too much!"
"Is it because he was always blurred and said nothing? My Qian family has managed more than a dozen..."
"shut up!"
Qian Linhong suddenly turned around and raised his hand to slap Qian Ruyu.
Just at this moment, the deputy examiner rushed out of the tribute courtyard, holding a red scroll in his hand. After going on stage, he compared the ink scroll with the red scroll with the red scroll with the main examiner, and then the two sat back into the chair dejectedly.
It was almost noon, and as lunch approached, most of the scholars in the venue were depressed, shook their heads and sighed.
And the one who was still unwilling to give up was squeezed in front of the new list wall, pointing at the names on the list text one by one, and finally leaving with a sigh.
The voices of the predecessors of the Gongyuan gradually became rare, and gradually there were only one hundred and two scholars standing in the local area. Three of them were holding swords at their waists, all from Qingchuan County.
The three of them added a white body to Wenpei. There were four people in Qingchuan County who were awarded the title. Everyone gathered together and were happy and bowed to each other to reminisce about the past.
According to convention, after announcing the candidates, all candidates must have lunch with the examiner. Everyone can get along well with each other and take care of each other in the future.
But this time, the chief examiner and the deputy examiner left the venue first and returned to the tribute court. While the students were waiting in the venue, a clerk ran out of the tribute court and came to Zhuang Huaijin, giving a deep tribute:
"The chief examiner summoned Zhuang Jieyuan alone, and asked Jieyuan to go to the tribute court to talk."
The two of them walked to a remote courtyard in Gongyuan, and there were several clerks standing at the door. Zhuang Huaijin bowed one by one before entering the courtyard.
I saw the main and the deputy examiners sitting upright in the main hall, and several first-time officials.
At this time, Cheng Yu had flew back to the Gongyuan from outside the city, standing on the wall of the side courtyard, looking into the main hall. The scholar did not recognize the person present, but Cheng Yu naturally recognized it.
Several clerks standing at the gate of the courtyard, as well as examiners and first-time officials in the main hall, these people were all in every link on the Qian Ruyu cheating assembly line, and many of them were all gathered.
The examiner couldn't help but stand up when he saw the outsider stalking from the hall.
He had just discussed with the deputy examiner that this fact was strange. If it was said that the clerk made a mistake when the fraud was made, it was said that Wu Yin and Zhuan were both doing the opposite.
So the two summoned Zhuang Huaijin to interview separately to see if he could really write a talented person who could write a story that could be recorded in the history of the Scholars.
When Zhuang Huaijin walked to the courtyard, the officials in the hall seemed to be urging by someone invisibly, and they couldn't help but stand up, watching the visitor step by step into the main hall and bow to him.
The officials looked at the poor man in the field and were full of righteousness, which made it difficult to look sideways.
...
Nearly an hour later, all the soldiers guarding Lingxing Gate had already taken turns to one shift and had lunch. However, no one in the new imperial examination candidates in the field were concerned about them. They were all hungry and hungry, and even the excitement of the just-winning examination was wiped out.
A hundred upstarts in Ganjiang Mansion hung in their stomachs under the noon sun, and at the end they simply squatted under the shadow of the wall, and they didn't even have the interest in chatting.
At this time, a clerk ran out of the tribute courtyard and shouted:
"Dear new students, the chief examiner has ordered that a vegetarian banquet has been set up in front of Kuixing Pavilion. Please go there."
"coax!"
All the students stood up one after another. A few older people who were weak and stood too hard. They almost fell to the ground with dizziness. The students of the hundreds of students divided into groups of three or five by their hometowns, and they all left Kuixing Pavilion in the Gongyuan.
At this time, Cheng Yu had already flew out of the Gongyuan and hovered in the air.
Looking at the righteous spirit in the yard, he shook his wings and fell on the top of Lingxing Gate.
Just now, Zhuang Huaijin was in the main hall of the side courtyard and talked about the scriptures and theories with all the old men present, and they made many official figures who were present secretly amazed that this person's heart is unlimited and his words will definitely be tied with a purple robe in the future.
The chief examiner held a private banquet to entertain Zhuang Huaijin and the officials, but he forgot all the hundreds of people outside. Even the other officials present only wanted to talk to Zhuang Huaijin in order to leave a little impression on the other party, so he could not remember anything outside the court.
...
At dusk that day, the examiner was able to return to the government office and stay in the tribute courtyard for half a month. At this time, he could finally return to the palace to rest.
After sitting in the wife's room, she hurried to Aunt Zhao's side courtyard after changing her clothes.
Aunt Zhao lost Zhong Ling'er, the queen of the fairy in the past few days, and she was uneasy all day long. The master entered the examination room again and could not make the decision for her, for fear that she would be beaten to death by her wife for one reason.
After half a month of fear and fear, I saw the master come back to her yard and my heart fell into my stomach.
The master hugged Yingying Meixian and comforted her. The two of them entered the inner room hand in hand, but found that the curtain and the tablets placed behind the curtain were gone.
When the master asked about the reason, Aunt Zhao felt aggrieved again and said with a mouth curled:
"For some reason that day, the fairy girl of my family suddenly left these golden characters. Since then, there has been no news. I... In the future, I will only have the only support of the master, oh oh oh oh..."
Aunt Zhao took out the tablet while crying. The prefect took the tablet and saw the small characters below, and was shocked.
I used to think that the fairy she offered was just a hollow radish and would not come true. It turned out that it really existed...
Then I thought that fortunately, the immortal of the Tang Dynasty, had left. If she still followed her and promoted her to Beijing with her position in the future...
well!
"Don't cry anymore, it's better that the fairy has left. I will protect you with the master. The people in the yard dare not make things difficult for you.
If we move to the capital in the future, once the fairy is found by the Jinwu Guard, it is probably impossible for our family to protect their heads."
"ah?"
Aunt Zhao, who was whimpering, was shocked when she heard this, and couldn't tell what it felt in her heart.
"I'll report to the master and the Ministry of Rites to hand over the post. I'm waiting outside the mansion now."
Just as the two of them were getting tired, a maid outside the yard shouted.
The prefect frowned, "Mr. A member of the Ministry of Rites?"
He was stunned for a moment before he realized that it must be Qian Linhong from Qingchuan County.
"Bah! Just a donation official, what kind of airs do you want to show off and show off your power? Isn't it just 50,000 taels of silver? You'll be refunded!"
The prefect spat, pushed away the sad and resentful concubine, changed her clothes and went to the front yard.
...
Half an hour later, at the door of the backyard of the government office.
"Hahaha, Mr. Lin Hong is very wise and has extraordinary talents. He should be a model for us. He admires him very much."
"What is the matter with the magistrate? The priest can get a relationship with the magistrate's daughter. The subordinates cannot ask for it, hahaha."
The two sides were in harmony and the prefect sent Qian Daguan out of the government office.
Looking at the back of Qian Mansion carriage, his smile gradually solidified, and his brows became tighter and tighter.
I thought the visitor was a provoking a military officer to question him, but I had prepared a set of rhetoric, but I couldn't use it at all when facing the Qian Dashou who was so munching on the spring breeze.
Unexpectedly, the other party did not mention the fact that his beloved son failed the exam, but instead came to get into the house with generous gifts.
The prefect sighed secretly, suddenly remembered something, called the chief master beside him and whispered:
"I went to write a letter of worship and sent it to the residence of Jieyuan, Xinke. It is said that our residence will visit Qianyuan Lake in the future. I specially asked Zhuang Jieyuan to accompany you."
"Yes, Master."
