Hou Yichen angrily wanted to compete with Zhang Xiaowu for poetry again, saying that he still had many poems and poems that he had not yet produced. Zhang Xiaowu shook his head and refused, which made Hou Yichen even more angry and wanted to commit suicide by jumping into the river. Zhang Xiaowu immediately said that the body of the deceased in the morning was swollen and his flesh was swollen.
It's all rotten, still
The maggots all over his body were very disgusting. Hou Yichen was so excited by what he said that he didn't want to jump into the river. But when he saw Ye Shishi standing with him, he felt that it was not harmonious, so he put his hands on his waist and said: "Master Ximen,
There is something I don’t know whether to say or not.”
Zhang Xiaowu said: "It's inappropriate to talk about it."
"..." Hou Yichen said anxiously, "But I must say this."
"No need."
"You are not worthy of Miss Ye." Hou Yichen shouted.
Zhang Xiaowu said angrily: "You look down on me? No matter what, I am the glory of the whole village. I once won the gold medal in the Children's Peeing and Mud Competition in Fuyun County, Hejian, Yongzhou!"
Ye Shishi was stunned at first, then smiled and held on to the fence. However, she never expected that the fence suddenly became loose, perhaps due to disrepair. Ye Shishi turned over and fell down before she could scream. Zhang Xiaowu, with quick eyes and quick hands, caught her.
He suddenly lifted him up by his ankles. Then, Zhang Xiaowu felt a cold air passing by him. He quickly turned around and looked around, but there was only Mr. Hou Yichen with his mouth wide open.
Ye Shishi turned pale with fright, and Hou Yichen was also frightened and at a loss. Zhang Xiaowu supported Ye Shishi and comforted him: "This fence is too bad, how about it? Falling down like this, isn't it very enjoyable?"
Ye Shishi cried and said: "Who would have thought that this place is broken."
Zhang Xiaowu looked at Hou Yichen and said with a smile: "If Mr. Hou had been holding on to this just now, he would have fallen down. What a pity, what a pity, what a pity..."
Hou Yichen blushed and said, "Are you sorry that I didn't fall?"
Zhang Xiaowu said: "Yes, you look so handsome and your family is so rich. If you don't fall and drown, you will be sorry to God."
Hou Yichen snorted and saw that Ye Shishi looked bad, so he had to leave. When Zhang Xiaowu saw that Ye Shishi seemed to be really frightened, he escorted her back to Guirenfang, but did not come any closer. Ye Shishi walked a few steps
Stepping forward, he suddenly turned around and said, "What would you do if I fell?"
Zhang Xiaowu said: "Didn't you fall? I caught you."
Ye Shishi said with red eyes: "What if? I heard that people who fall into the Baishui River will not survive."
Zhang Xiaowu thought to himself that this woman likes to make assumptions, so he sighed, turned around and said, "If you fall in, I won't eat fish from now on!"
"Humph!" Ye Shishi stamped her feet and walked away angrily, but maybe because of her anger, she was not so scared. After walking a few steps, she saw the master and hurriedly stepped forward to greet her.
Ye Ping, the empress of the underworld, said: "You almost died today."
"I'm sorry, Master."
"But fortunately, the person next to you has extraordinary martial arts skills."
"Master, are you better or is he better?"
Ye Ping thought for a while and said: "I am good when fighting alone, but on the battlefield, I am not as good as him."
Ye Shishi was surprised and said: "You mean, he is a general?"
"I didn't say."
"Master, who is Ximen Xiaosheng?"
Ye Ping smiled strangely, shook his head and refused to speak, turned around and left, and Ye Shishi hurriedly followed.
On October 13th, the Tie Jing exam results were released. All 1,679 people with perfect scores in this Tie Jing exam entered the next round, while more than 3,000 others missed the next round. In an instant, the scholars in Longdu
There was a lot of crying, and several scholars were seeking death because they failed to pass the exam. Even three of the ten young masters of this subject failed to pass the exam.
Zhang Xiaowu ordered the silver guards to keep an eye on the students to prevent them from committing suicide. He originally wanted to go to the appointment, but when he saw the eyes of Ruan Qingwen and others supervising him, he felt embarrassed and had to stay in the central government office and work hard.
Make progress every day and be a good civil servant of the empire.
On October 14th, the second poetry test of the imperial examination. This year's test question is a short story. It tells the story of an official in the Tang Dynasty who killed people for no reason. The official was caught in the dilemma between love and law. Candidates
Based on this story, we need to discuss whether it is love or law when serving as an official. Of course, there is no real answer to this kind of poetry. Whether it is love or law, as long as it is well-founded and the poetry is beautiful and gorgeous, it can be
The examiner enters the Dharma Eye.
On October 16, after the last policy question came out, the candidates were in an uproar. The question turned out to be how officials earn money.
Officials, money, earn?
When these three words are combined, people immediately think of corruption, bribery, and corrupt officials.
However, the exam question was based on this, and the candidates suddenly stood one head and two big. Fortunately, each examination room was separate, and everyone could not see each other's frowning faces. Otherwise, they would have smiled knowingly - it seemed that everyone was embarrassed.
But the sighs one after another in the examination room still betrayed them. Everyone's originally depressed mood suddenly improved a lot after hearing other people's laments.
The policy discussion lasts a whole day, but the candidates can keep writing until the sun goes down. Most candidates will stay until the end, not because they cannot write, but because they will write many answers and finally choose the best one.
Leave it to the examiner. They need to wait another ten days before the Imperial College will release the results. Because there are 450 places this year, many candidates are very confident that they will be admitted.
The candidates' relaxedness infected Longdu. After October 17, Longdu City resumed singing and dancing, and the scholars also started to have fun. This period was a rare time for everyone to relax. Poor scholars went shopping, rich scholars visited brothels, and so on.
Relax in their own way of entertainment.
Zhang Xiaowu was busy watching memorials from various places at this time. Judging from the memorials, the Holy Han Empire was gradually recovering its vitality. And because he encouraged business and reduced transportation costs, the business taxes in various places in the Holy Han Dynasty were also much higher than in previous years.
Among them, foreign trade has increased the most. This year, the Holy Han Empire's trade with neighboring countries has increased to more than ten times that of previous years, and Hu merchants have suddenly increased in various places. Although many people still adhere to the physiocratic mentality, they are faced with a dazzling array of foreign goods.
They accepted it gladly, because among them, the most increased varieties were agricultural products. Various vegetables enriched people's tables and enriched people's spirits.
Among all the foods, Zhang Xiaowu also found his favorite, crayfish.
Crayfish are ornamental shrimps presented by the Fuso people, but Zhang Xiaowu was extremely excited. The shortest dish before he traveled through time was spicy crayfish. Since time travel, he has never seen crayfish, and he never expected that the Japanese people would offer them to him.
Ten crayfish.
"Immediately dig a pond in my house and raise the crayfish, and next year the Sa family will keep them alive." Zhang Xiaowu rewarded these Fuso envoys. The Fuso envoys were very happy. It turned out that the "big names" in the Central Plains like crayfish.
