Abduct a scholar to farm together

In front of that list, most of them looked like scholars, and some of them had happy faces. They were the finalists. Unlike previous years, there were many more smiling people this year, and how many gorgeously dressed people were Smiling, the faces of a few poor disciples were not very good, and they were all dejected and very depressed.

And the imperial envoy standing in front of the government office stood with his hands behind his back, without a smile on his face, instead his face was as sinking as water and as black as the bottom of a pot.

The imperial envoy said to the county magistrate without a smile on his face: "I saw that Mr. Liu is really good at governing the people. There are so many people who won the exam this year. This year's evaluation should be recorded as the best!"

The county magistrate was taken aback for a moment, and then bowed his waist and flattered him: "It's all because of your good fortune. As soon as you come to invigilate the exam, more people will pass the exam. It's all the good fortune you brought!"

The imperial envoy sneered: "Don't say I'm lucky, I'm not blessed. There are so many juren, I'm afraid you did a good job!" Although it was a compliment, there was no smile on the imperial envoy's face. The county magistrate was very disturbed, and didn't know where to shoot this flattery, because the attitude of the imperial envoy was really hard to figure out.

"My lord, this, this, and this, the lower officials dare not take credit, dare not dare, it is the result of their own hard work!" The magistrate licked a smile and flattered him.

The imperial envoy waved his sleeves and entered the yamen, leaving the county magistrate standing there in embarrassment.

The crowd had almost dispersed, and Ji Haitang and Shen Muqi went up to look at the rankings. Among them, there were four or five people side by side in No. 1 A, No. 2 and B were joined by ten people, and there were hundreds of people in No. 3 C. .

There are more than 100 candidates this year, and only 200 people took the exam this year, and two quarters of them all passed the exam.

And Shen Muqi's name happened to be one of the ten people such as No. 2 B, so it was a safe choice.Ji Shu's grades are surprisingly good, ranking the last name in the first class.

A happy smile appeared on Shen Muqi's face after being silent for a few days.

"Congratulations, Shen Juren!" Ji Haitang was also happy for Shen Muqi, fisted and bowed.

Shen Muqi admired Ji Haitang with both excited hands. The two looked at each other and quickly moved away. With a soft smile, Shen Muqi said softly: "Thank you, you have worked hard these days. From now on, I can also rely on my own hands." Feed yourself!"

"Hahaha, let's go, sell vegetables and go home, I want to celebrate you!" Ji Haitang waved his hands, signaling that he dare not take the credit, and smiled, having a strange idea that my family has a child who has just grown up. Shen Muqi's eyes were filled with relief.

Shen Muqi smiled lightly and said, "Okay!"

"Tell this news to mother, and mother will laugh out loud in her dreams!" Ji Haitang laughed, and his pace became cheerful. After all these years, the Shen family is finally able to stand out!

"Small Juren, you can't be proud. If you are admitted to the first prize, then you should be really happy!" Shen Muqi restrained his expression again, without arrogance or impetuosity, and maintained a peaceful mind.

It has to be said that Shen Muqi has done this very well, and such a person can go a long way, while Zhang Shi and Ji Shu and other short-sighted, proud and complacent people may only stop at small juren.

Mrs. Zhang and Ji Shu returned to the village, proud as peacocks with their tails open.Seeing them like this, the villagers knew that they had hit the ball, and they opened their mouths to congratulate them.With so many people, what they say doesn't repeat the same thing.

Someone even said: "Someone will come to inform you later, this is a great honor, Mrs. Zhang, you said that you would invite the whole village to dinner!"

Generally, for those who passed the imperial examination, there would be yamen servants beating gongs and drums to send the list to their homes, and the county magistrate would also send gifts to express congratulations, which can be regarded as a disguised way to win over people.After all, in this small city, apart from the county magistrate, Juren is the most admired person.

Zhang Shile couldn't close his mouth anymore, and his smile never stopped. Most of those who were at odds with Zhang Shi on weekdays also prepared congratulatory gifts and apologized to Zhang Shi.This is the so-called one person attains the Tao and the chicken dog ascends to heaven.The mention in Ji's book can be regarded as making the Ji family completely proud.

After a while, someone said that there were two groups of people coming to the village entrance, one of them was aggressive, as if they were going to arrest people, while the other group was beating drums and beating gongs, beaming.

Everyone is curious, what is the purpose of arresting people?On this great day, have you heard of anyone breaking the law?

Only when Ji Shu heard that he was here to arrest people, his expression changed immediately, he was a little scared, and wanted to escape, but was grabbed by Mrs. Zhang again.

"Why are you going? The one who announces the list will come later, but it must make everyone in the village happy, right?" Mrs. Zhang gave Ji Shu a dissatisfied look.

How could Mrs. Zhang have thought that the arrest of people by the yamen servants would have something to do with their Ji family?All he thinks about is that his status will rise, won't everyone he meets in the future be treated courteously?Such a good opportunity to show off, how could Mrs. Zhang be willing to let it go.

I saw the two teams of yamen servants who entered the village, and when they entered the village, they asked where Ji Shu lived, and then asked where Shen Muqi lived.

The two families were not on the same road, there was a fork in the middle, walked straight to Shen's house, turned right to Ji's house, everyone in the village was curious, who was arrested here, and who was congratulating?

However, the answer was soon revealed, because those who beat gongs and drums go straight, while those who are aggressive turn right. It is clear at a glance who is arresting and who is congratulating, and everyone can see it.

The wind direction in the village suddenly changed. Those who got the news slowly withdrew from Zhang's circle, while those who didn't got the news were still chatting enthusiastically.

I don't know who saw the yamen servant coming, and shouted: "Everyone get out of the way, everyone will move on, the yamen servant from Hebang is here!"

Everyone unanimously exposed Zhang Shi and Ji Shu who were surrounded in the middle, and the flow of people dispersed to both sides, revealing a middle road.

Ji Shu was so nervous that he looked around, but Mrs. Zhang had a haughty face, calm and composed.

"Who is Ji Shu?"

The leading yamen servant stepped forward to ask, and everyone pointed to Ji Shu next to Mrs. Zhang, who was pushed forward by Mrs. Zhang, bowed and said, "That's Xiaosheng!"

"Very good, after investigation, you have cheating in the imperial examination, now, please meet with us at the county government!" The cold and ruthless words of the government servant immediately gave everyone a basin of cold water.

"How is it possible, how is it possible for my son to cheat? I don't believe it!" Mrs. Zhang said immediately, pushing away the yamen servant.

"It's impossible, how do I know, we came here under the orders of the imperial envoy, if you didn't cheat, you will return your innocence if you go, what are you afraid of?"

Mrs. Zhang turned around again, looked at Ji Shu and said, "Are you cheating?"

"No...no..." Ji Shu hesitated for a while, then said firmly.

"Okay, mother will wait for you to go back to the banquet!" Zhang Shi said.
