Chapter 42

Flying down three thousand feet

It is suspected that the Milky Way has fallen into the sky



After feeling refreshed, Lin Haoran noticed that there seemed to be someone inside the parked carriage. Just when he was about to walk away quickly, the curtain of the carriage was opened, and a maid in a green skirt walked out.

When Lin Haoran saw the maid, he couldn't help but slap his forehead. He was very upset about his behavior just now. However, when he thought about it, he peed so loudly and forcefully just now. Maybe a bad thing turned into a good thing.

"Miss Mulan, you are so polite!" He recognized this beautiful maid, so he held his hands in the car and smiled.

The beautiful maid glanced at the urine stain on the ground, and said with a blushing face: "My lady is not in the car, my lady gave this to you!" After saying that, she stuffed a bundle into his arms,

Then he turned around and got on the carriage.

"Miss Mulan, are you really going to Guangzhou?" Lin Haoran looked at the car window, knowing that the person must be inside.

Ta-ta...

The tall white horse stepped on the green brick road, and the carriage slowly turned forward for half a circle. A pleasant voice came from the carriage: "Guangzhou Prefecture Tianxiang Tower, we are destined to meet again!"

Mulan was undoubtedly the biggest beneficiary of the last Pan Xian Poetry Recital. She was a guqin master, and after receiving Lin Haoran's "Mulan Flower Order", her reputation spread far and wide.

Now she has been spotted by Tianxiang Tower of Guangzhou Prefecture, who wants to poach her to become a pillar.

I came here this time with the intention of bidding farewell to Lin Haoran and staged a story about a beautiful lady saying goodbye to a talented man. However, I encountered such an embarrassing scene and had to leave in embarrassment.

Lin Haoran's carriage disappeared around the corner and he sighed softly, fearing that they would never see each other again.

After the first government examination, the candidates were in panic all day long.

There are more than 900 candidates this year, and more than 600 will be eliminated in the first government examination, and only about 100 will be admitted in the end. The imperial examination in this era is like thousands of troops crossing a single-plank bridge. Even if you want to get the qualifications of a child,

Fame and fame are never easy.

But I don’t know if Zheng Shijie and his gang are confident or if they are good at covering up. They drink and have fun at Pan Xian Restaurant every day, and from time to time they will ridicule Lin Haoran and other outstanding students. They seem to have already won the top spot.

Time flew by in the blink of an eye, and soon it was time to release the results.

Lin Haoran originally took Gu Qingfeng to look at the dyes on the market, but Jiang Ronghua blocked him in front of the store and insisted on dragging him along to look at the list.

The place where the rankings were released was right in front of the Fuxue Palace. By the time the four of them arrived, the peak period for viewing the rankings had already passed, but there were still hundreds of people gathered around the rankings.

Gu Qingfeng's eyes lit up, and instead of rushing over to look at the list, he ran to the gambling stall next to him.

It turns out that Gaosheng Gambling House, the largest gambling house in Gaozhou Prefecture, is here to let everyone guess who will be the case leader of this government examination. There are two types of guessing results. One is to bet on a specific person, six county case leaders plus four popular candidates;

The first is the gambling area and the county where the crime was initiated.

The biggest favorite in the region is Maoming County, and the number one candidate is Zheng Shijie, both with low odds of 20 to 1.

Gu Qingfeng was a gambling addict, so he took out ten taels of silver and prepared to bet. However, when it came time to actually place the bet, he took back nine taels of it and only invested one tael on Lin Haoran.

In response, Lin Haoran rolled his eyes. It turned out that this guy didn't think highly of him either.

However, things really don't make people optimistic. The prefect of Tang Dynasty was a cautious official and did not ask the criticized questions. Instead, he asked the more common questions on the Four Books and Five Classics.

The subjective opinion of Prefect Tang is very important as to who answers well or not. And according to the consistent tradition, this prefecture's test case will probably fall on Maoming County and Zheng Shijie.

That's right. Not to mention Gu Qingfeng, even Gaosheng Casino is extremely optimistic about Maoming County and Zheng Shijie, and the second most popular candidate for the case is still a Maoming student.

Lin Haoran and Jiang Ronghua are both on the A list, while Gu Qingfeng and Zhao Dongcheng are on the B list. The former has already secured the qualification to be a child, while the latter will continue to fight in the second game.

After reading the list, the four of them quietly left, planning to go back and celebrate again. Since the list only showed seat numbers, it was difficult for others to know whether they had passed or not.

Zheng Shijie was holding a painting fan and standing in the crowd with a smile on his face, listening to the congratulations of the people around him. At the same time, he secretly observed Lin Haoran. The answer was found in the pair of adoring eyes.

In an instant, his mood worsened. Unexpectedly, the prefect also planned to betray that person's face and let the nerd go. He was afraid that he would directly give it to a first-class person.

"The harm of eight-legged writing is worse than burning books."

After a gray-haired old scholar carefully checked the list, he suddenly seemed to have lost his soul. He immediately fell to the ground and yelled at the list with tears streaming down his face.

Su Shijie's leg happened to be hit by him, and he immediately said angrily: "It's important to know yourself! It's not a big deal if you don't win the exam at this age, you won't even be born as a child, it's better to jump into Jianjiang River and die!"

When the old scholar heard this, he immediately felt sad and thought of committing suicide.

"Don't bully others too much!" The old scholar's fellow villagers angrily yelled at Zheng Shijie, and then comforted the old scholar: "Don't listen to this guy's nonsense! We, Wuchuan candidates, have been unfairly treated over the years. As long as we pass the government examination, we will definitely be like Brother Lei." , take the hospital and rural exams together!"

"Lei Tingfeng is just unlucky! You Huazhou and Shicheng are all mediocre people. They shouldn't have any ideas about the imperial examination at all!" Su Shijie pointed at the two old scholars on the ground and laughed.

"Boy, don't be so arrogant! If it weren't for the government's care and attention every year, you Maoming students would be nothing more than this, let alone be named as the culprit every year!" The fellow countryman glared and said angrily.

Zheng Shijie's face suddenly turned gloomy after being ridiculed in this way. These words were a direct slap in the face. They not only bombarded their Maoming students for receiving preferential treatment, but also cast doubt on the fact that he was about to get the top job in the government examination.

"That's because we in Maoming County are indeed better than you! You are already a lot older, and you still come to take part in the boy test. Are you embarrassed?" Zheng Shijie's companion stood up and sneered, and then complimented: "Brother Zheng is the best at learning. , we respect him as the head of the case, we are sincerely convinced!"

"If you guys in Maoming were really good, you wouldn't lose every year in the provincial examination!" Lin Haoran came over and helped the fellow countryman lift the old scholar up from the ground.

After the old scholar heard this, he felt a sense of recognition in his heart, but he also felt a sense of sadness. He was not defeated by knowledge, but by this unfair treatment, so that he has been unable to fulfill his late wife's long-cherished wish.

"Then we are better than you!" When the scholar saw that it was Lin Haoran, thinking about the humiliation he suffered at the poetry meeting that day, he immediately counterattacked coldly: "Let alone the head of the case, this time the top five will be We Maoming students!”

"You are great at poetry, but you can't compare to us in these four books and five classics, let alone our brother Zheng!" Another Maoming student stood up and said with a arrogant face.

Lin Haoran looked at these arrogant scholars, but snorted coldly, and said: "Then I don't believe it! The government official can be so partial to Maoming County every year, I will stake twenty taels, and the head of this case... is not you

Maoming County!”

After saying that, he heavily bet twenty taels of silver on the gambling table. This was the favor fee he got for helping Shen Liujin last time. Quan should be complaining about this injustice.

Goo!

Several Maoming candidates couldn't help but swallowed when they saw Lin Haoran smashing down twenty taels. This guy was simply crazy, and he actually used the twenty taels to waste it.

"I'll stake ten taels!"

"Not bad! I'll bet on it too!"

"They are so virtuous and capable in Maoming County, I don't believe in this evil! Can Fu Zun help them all the time!"



After all, there are still only a few candidates from Maoming County staying here. Seeing Su Shijie being so aggressive towards an old candidate, seeing Lin Haoran's spirited behavior, and the instigation of Gu Qingfeng and others, immediately aroused the anger of others.

Although he was not as heroic as Lin Haoran, one ounce for you and one ounce for me made Gaosheng Gambling House break out in a cold sweat. When the manager saw that something was not right, he stopped betting.

However, the controversy about this matter quickly spread in Gaozhou City. Many candidates realized that the governor had indeed favored Maoming in recent years, so the voice of condemnation became stronger and stronger.
