fake prince

Chapter 72

Fucheng·Du Family Courtyard
"Third Sister!" Seeing Aunt Hu vomit out a mouthful of blood, Du Chenglin hurriedly supported her, with distressed expression on her face.

"Why are you bothering? Didn't I already calculate that Xi Yan is dangerous this time, but there is still a glimmer of life. You have not recovered from your injuries, so don't peek at the secrets!"

Sanyi Hu wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, and shook her head: "This is very unusual, I am Xiyan's closest relative, even if I am injured, I shouldn't just see a mess."

"I think if you care about it, you will be chaotic." Du Chenglin said helplessly, "Xiyan is not a child who is messing around. Since she followed, there must be something special between the two of them."

"Did you send someone to read the list?" Hu Sanyi asked suddenly after being silent for a moment.

"I've already sent someone to look at it. Why, do you think that Xi Yan found out that the young man has official luck, and wants to use his luck to cover up his aura?"

Du Chenglin felt that although it was possible, it was not worth Hu Xiyan's risk.

But seeing Aunt Hu's appearance, she obviously felt that this possibility was very high.

"Master! Master!" At this moment, a follower's voice came from outside.

Those who followed Du Chenglin were all human beings, and they didn't know Du Chenglin's identity. Du Chenglin glanced at Sanyi Hu, who turned into a big fox with a flash of her figure, and jumped to a hiding place to cover her figure.

Only then did Du Chenglin say to the people outside: "Come in."

"Master, what you told the little one to do, the little one has already done it!" Although the attendant didn't understand why Du Chenglin asked him to read the list, after all, Du Chenglin was a master of chess, and he was not in the same system as the imperial examination. It's only eighth grade, but who will admire it soon?
I haven't heard that someone is Du Chenglin's nephew this time?
However, he dutifully copied down all the names of the people on the list, and unfolded it to Du Chenglin at this time: "Look, this is the list of all the people on the list!"

"Thanks for your hard work, let's go down and rest first!" He waved him out, and when he saw Aunt Hu coming over to look at him, Du Chenglin couldn't help but change his face slightly when he saw it, pointing to No.1, and praised: "As expected of Xiyan, she is really good." Look, this Su Ziji is actually the top of the list, it seems that he is indeed talented!"

You know, Dazheng Jianguo has attached great importance to imperial examinations until now.

After the war, there were indeed fewer scholars. Zheng Taizu was eager to seek talents and relaxed the requirements. In the present era, the number of scholars has become saturated, and the imperial examination has become more and more strict.

In the entire prefecture and county, only fifty scholars are selected at a time, and there are thousands of students in one county who take the imperial examination, and 50 people are selected out of thousands of people. If they are selected, even if they are at the bottom, they are also talents among the people. .

And Su Ziji was actually ranked first among the fifty scholars, which is truly astonishing.

Even Hu Sanyi, who had always had objections to Hu Xiyan's refusal to come back, also fell into hesitation when she learned of Su Ziji's grades.

She sighed: "It's safe for Xiyan to follow a top-notch scholar. No matter how lawless a Taoist priest is, he wouldn't dare to attack a top-ranking scholar."

"I'm just a little worried. This has just been released on the list. Will the news spread slowly, and some people will not be afraid if they don't know?"

Du Chenglin comforted: "There are carrier pigeons in the government. Once the government test is out of the list, someone will send a letter back to Linhua County. You don't have to worry."

He sighed again: "It's over this time, and I'm going back to Beijing too."

"Oh?" Aunt Hu was a little uneasy. Du Chenglin was not from the fox clan, but Chiyao Gonggong was about to leave now. She was reluctant and a little uneasy.

"Third Sister!" Du Chenglin smiled: "I came this time, actually, for the opening of the Dragon Palace."

"Dragon Palace, what do you think?" Hu Sanyi followed Du Chenglin's words and asked.

Du Chenglin shook his head: "Although the Panlong Lake Dragon Palace is open, it's just an empty shell. It is said that there was only one girl back then, but now there are three or five water monsters following, which is not a good thing."

"I wanted to talk about the floods in various places and along the coast. I saw that the dragon girl was young, and she was only seven or eight years old, so I couldn't say it."

"Hey, even if it is said, what can Dragon Girl do, can she still control those unruly water monsters?"

"Of all the demons in the world, the water demon is the most prosperous. It's a well-deserved reputation. I just don't want people and demons to fight each other, and the grievances will become more and more serious."

As he said that, Du Chenglin couldn't help sighing seeing Aunt Hu's disapproval and indifference.

The monster of the land has been suffering for the court (human race) for a long time, wishing to kill all human beings immediately, how can he stop fighting and turn jade into silk?

Facing this turbulent demon, even Du Chenglin just did what he knew he couldn't do.

Linhua County Government Office

"What? Su Ziji was admitted as a scholar, and he is still the top case?" Tan An, who heard the news from his master, felt a thunderbolt hit him, and he stayed in place.

He yearns for Ye Buhui, and is naturally very hostile to Su Ziji, a young man who always clings to Ye Buhui's side. He thought that Su Ziji was just in the last class when he passed the entrance examination for Tongsheng, and this time he went to Fucheng to gain nothing. Such shit luck, to get the top case?
The master was very happy, stroked his beard, and said cheerfully: "This time the government examination, our Linhua County has produced several scholars, especially Su Ziji, who is No. 1 on the first list, and even Yu Lu is second on the list. First place, ranked fourth, earned us Linhua County."

"These are the seeds of reading. When you enter the government to study, Master Zhang intends to invite them to come over and encourage them personally."

In fact, not only County Magistrate Zhang, but even his master, was in a very good mood after learning the results of the government examination.

He is a native of Linhua County. Although his hometown is not in the city, there are people in Linhua County who become officials, and the entire county will benefit. Not to mention anything else, but in case of natural disasters, there are still people in the court. The difference is not small .

Moreover, Su Ziji and Yu Lv have passed the examination for scholar, so they must go to the government to study. They are all selected from this county magistrate. For Linhua County, it is also a meritorious service for enlightenment. The county magistrate is in a good mood, so he is naturally happy as a subordinate.

"Master, is Su Ziji still a student from the government school?" Tan An had come to his senses at this moment, and just heard the master's words, his heart was even more sour, and he couldn't help confirming.

I thought in my heart: "Su Ziji has been lucky if he can be admitted as a scholar. There are thousands of people and 50 people. He is still a student of the government. Isn't it because God has no eyes?"

Although a scholar cannot enter the court as an official, he can still be regarded as officially possessing fame and fame. He can be exempted from the corvee. You can receive one liter of rice, one tael of silver per month, and occasionally fish oil and salt.

In fact, not to mention being a poor scholar, life is more than enough. Doesn't this make Tan An envious and jealous.

"Why, did you have a festival with Su Xiucai?" The master is not stupid, he was too happy just now, so he didn't notice that Tan An's expression was wrong, but when he looked at it now, he found that this person seemed more annoyed than happy, and his face was pale sank.

On the other hand, tolerance came in, who was not pleasing to Tan An, and just overheard the conversation, and interjected: "Master, are you talking about Su Ziji?"

"Oh? You know him too?" Master looked over.

The short man smiled deliberately and said, "I only met once from a distance. Tan Anke is familiar with him, and the relationship between the two seems to be not very harmonious."

"Oh?" The master's eyes fell on Tan An again, and this scrutiny made Tan An suddenly sweat.
