Cultivation of immortals begins with the appearance of ancestors

Chapter 159 Famous (big chapter)
"In the spring palace examination in the sixth year of Jingwu, Zhang Jian from Fengxi County in Fengyang is the number one name?"

Xiang Yingxin had a sad face.

He felt that everything was really wrong with him.

As for the names of the other two Jinshi candidates in Fengyang County, Xiang Yingxin was in no mood to look again.

"Your Majesty, are you...?"

The military commander who came to deliver the good news could not quite understand Xiang Yingxin's complexity and helplessness at this time, but he was a little surprised. He heard from his staff that the number one scholar in the county city was the merit of the county guard.

This is the prosperity of local culture and education, so that the champion of the dynasty can be born.

That is Wenqu Xingjun.

Although Dagan is known as the heyday of culture and education, how many champions can there be!
This is also a credit to the county guard.

Xiang Yingxin could probably guess what the commander of the soldiers was thinking, and he was too lazy to get angry.

Although he is the magistrate of Fengyang County, but he has just arrived, no matter how thick-skinned he is, he dare not say that the number one scholar in Fengyang County is due to his enlightenment.

It is also the credit of that dead ghost who took the post of sheriff!

"Go, you go and call Jun Cheng and let him go to the Zhang family to pass the decree!"

He directly dismissed the commander of the personal soldiers in front of him like waving a fly.

Hearing this, the commander in front of him nodded, and immediately re-rolled the imperial documents that were urgently sent by Liubaili, and took them down.

"Your Majesty let Ben Cheng go?"

In the county magistrate's mansion, Lu Zhao, the new magistrate, looked awkward at this moment.

He is about fifty years old, with a black face and a slight beard. This time he is drinking tea in the back of the mansion while listening to a little song.

Just looking at the imperial documents in front of him, he had to hold his nose and answer.

According to the logic, if there is a young champion who is rare in ancient and modern times in this county, the county guard should personally come forward and notify the officials in charge of the various departments in the county to go to battle together and beat gongs and drums until Zhang's house.

Propagating the culture and education of a county is also a good thing to gain a sense of presence in the eyes of the emperor and the champion.

But not long ago, the county guard had a quarrel with the head of the Zhang family, and Lu Zhao also understood that they couldn't get rid of it.

But Lu Zhao knew that the sheriff didn't want to go, but he couldn't escape.

The sheriff wants to save face.

He could only save face, make up his mind, and at the same time ordered the officials in charge of all the yamen in the county city to quickly gather in front of the county magistrate's mansion, beat gongs and drums together, and headed towards Zhang's mansion, reporting all the way!

Such a big movement made the whole Fengyang County lively.

The Gu family, at this moment, Gu Chengye, the head of the Gu family, was writing letters at his desk, and the recipients of the letters were those old friends of the Gu family's household department in Haojing.

After the loss of the tribute boat last time, although the real culprit who hijacked the tribute boat was found out, the officials of the government's household department yamen still made a note of the loss of the tribute. This situation has shaken the foundation of the Gu family.

As the new head of the Gu family, Gu Chengye had to find ways to make up for these gaps and reconnect with the Ministry of Household Affairs.

In fact, the best direction is to be able to get in touch with the officials directly under the Shaofu Sizhong.

Gu Chengye is also racking his brains to achieve this goal, but he doesn't have the means of Gu Chengyan, and he feels powerless in everything he does.

At this time, listening to the loud sound of gongs and drums outside the wall of Gu's house, Gu Chengye was a little upset.

"Who is making noise outside?"

He lined up the table and scolded: "Who told them to make trouble outside!"

Hearing this, a servant came in immediately outside the house, hesitated slightly, and said respectfully.

"Patriarch, the palace test report has arrived!"

Gu Chengye straightened his clothes, and snorted coldly: "The news of the palace examination, even if someone gets a Jinshi and ranks, there will not be such a big movement, such a loud sound of gongs and drums, and the sound of horseshoes, people will be fooled?"

When he walked out of the house, he raised his gaze, but it was on the boudoir in the distance, Gu Xiu'er was accompanied by the maid, looking at the long queue outside the courtyard.

Seeing this, he immediately went up to the attic and looked out from under the eaves. He could see that the street was full of respectable people like a long dragon, with colorful flags fluttering everywhere, and many officials wearing festive red and yellow costumes were flying their banners towards the east of the city. and go.

There are also two big characters of champion on the banner.

Seeing this, Gu Chengye's expression froze for a moment, and he guessed it immediately.

he couldn't help asking. "Xiu girl, have you heard clearly, which Juren won the first prize?"

Gu Chengye also looked surprised, Fengyang County has not had a champion for a long time!

Gu Xiu'er's beautiful jade face has some complex colors, she has just heard the roll call earlier.

Then he said softly: "It's Zhang Jian, the eldest son of the Zhang family!"

"The Zhang family?"

Hearing this, Gu Chengye's expression changed, and he immediately glanced at Gu Xiu'er, his expression was hesitant to speak.

Gu Xiu'er said softly at this time: "Sixteen-year-old No. [-] scholar, my father is indeed far-sighted. It's a pity that I have been hesitating, but I have failed my father's painstaking planning!"

Hearing this, Gu Chengye glanced at the niece and fell silent.

Gu Chengyan also mentioned Gu Xiu'er's marriage to him before he was alive, and once intended to marry Gu Xiu'er, but later the Qi family took the lead.

Now it seems that a good relationship has been missed!
……

East Zhangjia
The Zhang family in Fengxi gradually gained a firm foothold in Fengyang County, so Zhang Yi moved the other concubines and children who stayed in Fengxi to this mansion.

The splendid mansion covers an area of ​​[-] mu, and the ridges of the roof are connected into one piece. Zhang Min is reading in the room.

In the past few months, he felt that the roots of his ears were much cleaner, and Aunt Zhou no longer sent anyone to blow the wind by his side.

Zhang Min was at ease.

Since he was a child, Zhang Jian had instilled in him the idea that all things are inferior, but reading is high, so he also liked reading books since he was a child, especially after Zhang Jian passed the test again and again. Witnessing Zhang Jian's fame as a young prodigy in Fengyang for the first time, and being praised by other elders in the family, he firmly believes in this, and even more admires Zhang Jian, the eldest brother.

At this time, he has already passed the county examination and successfully obtained the fame of Tongsheng, and it is time to study hard!
As long as you pass the government examination and the hospital examination, you can further obtain the title of scholar.

Zhang Jian once said that if he could get the fame of a scholar, he would personally teach other people the skills of taking the exam in his hometown, and he kept this in mind.

"Big brother mentioned that the next generation of the Zhang family needs more talents to support it. It is indeed too difficult to rely on big brother alone!"

But in an instant Zhang Min put down the classics in his hand, he was alarmed by the noise outside the mansion, the inside and outside of Zhang's mansion seemed to become a sea of ​​noise just for a while.

He couldn't do it even if he wanted to study quietly!

Zhang Min had no choice but to walk out of the courtyard, and looked up, but found that the servants of the Zhang family were already busy, with strange joy on their faces.

Zhang Min couldn't help but look puzzled, and then he stopped an excited old servant in the garden.

There was some displeasure in his expression. "What happened in the mansion, why are you so noisy?"

The old servant was stopped by Zhang Min, his expression was taken aback, and he quickly said: "Young Lord, I heard that brother Jian from the mansion won the first prize. The patriarch and his wife are distributing rewards in the main hall. I heard that everyone has a share!"

Zhang Min's eyes brightened: "Big brother won the number one prize? Is it true?"

The old servant said: "My lord, I heard you very seriously. I heard that the elders in the yamen are coming here!"

Zhang Min's face was only slightly taken aback, and then his eyes were overjoyed, and he couldn't help muttering:
"I won, my elder brother won the first prize! It's really amazing!"

His handsome face flushed red, and he didn't know where to put his hands.

The old servant couldn't care less, and hurried to the main hall after pleading guilty, fearing that he would be too late and lose the reward.

On the corridor in the distance, a few aunts were chatting and laughing, with an unconcealable smile on their faces.

What they mentioned was also about the palace examination, so their news was naturally much better than the servants in the courtyard.

The news had been received half a quarter of an hour ago, and at this time they also made an appointment to go to congratulate Zhang Yi.

Seeing the scene of Zhang Min dancing in the yard at this moment, these aunts felt a little weird, and Aunt Zhou even clenched the handkerchief tightly.

"This idiot...?"

At this moment, Aunt Zhou's seductive and charming face did not have the hatred of the past, but she just felt a little powerless.

It was obviously born by herself, but she gave birth to that other person with her whole heart. She is powerless and powerless.

The other aunts also had different faces at this time, but no matter what, Zhang Jian was able to win the top prize in high school, and the aunts were also very happy from the bottom of their hearts.

They grew up watching Zhang Jian grow up.

Zhang Jian has been outstanding since he was a child, and has always been favored by the head of the family. He was established as the heir early, not to mention that Zhang Qi's natal family is not comparable to them, so there are no messy thoughts.

The aunts also rarely teased, but just smiled.

"Brother Min is a kind and good boy. If all the brothers in the Zhang family have this kind of unity, the Zhang family will naturally be able to grow and develop!"

Hearing this, Aunt Zhou's complexion looked a lot better, and a smile appeared on her face at this moment.

"Min'er has been close to his big brother since he was a child, so of course he is all about him!"

"Our brother Min is naturally eager to learn, and he is so close to his big brother, he will definitely be a little literary star in the future!"

When it came to the end, Aunt Zhou couldn't help showing complacency.

Seeing her attitude change so quickly, the other aunts laughed at her, but they didn't have the intention to make fun of her at this moment.

……

Zhang Yi and his wife were very busy at this time, on the one hand they had to entertain Jun Cheng and other guests, on the other hand they had to receive a steady stream of distinguished guests who came to congratulate them, so they could only call out many elders of the Zhang family to help support the appearance.

At this time, following Lu Zhao's announcement with great fanfare, there were also discussions inside and outside Fengyang County.

Especially the Qi family.

At this time, after the servants passed back the news they had heard, the old lady's face was full of joy.

"Ayu is really a Wenqu star who came into the world, and Sanya is a lucky one, and now it's hard work!"

At this time, in the bright hall, many female relatives of the Qi family were chatting with the old lady, and they were also discussing the results of the imperial examination!

Qi Wanshi stood aside and smiled sweetly.

"What the old ancestor said is that Ayu can come out on top in the imperial examination of thousands of people, and maybe in the future, he can earn the title of imperial wife for sister Ruoying. Glory to the ancestors!"

After Qi Wanshi heard the news, the smile on his face never stopped.

Another beautiful woman dressed dignifiedly and luxuriously beside her smiled and said: "In my opinion, niece Yuhua is the most blessed one. The future husband will be the number one scholar. He is talented and good-looking. He can be called a wishful husband!"

It was said that Qi Yuhua, who was sitting next to Qi Wanshi, pursed his lips at this moment, his fair face was a little rosy, but his eyes were filled with joy.

Seeing this, Qi Qin of the third room said again: "Look, niece Yuhua is shy!"

Seeing this, the old lady blocked Qi Qinshi's teasing back, and said with a smile: "Qi Qinshi, you have such a mouth!"

At this moment, most of the members of the Qi family still focused on Erfang, and they were obviously envious of Erfang's luck.

Qi Yuxian was still dressed in plain clothes at this time. She stood beside the old lady without saying a word, but took a complicated look at the quiet Qi Yuhua with her water-colored eyes.

At this moment, Qi Yuhua seemed to be the envy of many sisters in the Qi family!
But her eyes soon returned to calm.

……

When Fengyang County was bustling with excitement over the emergence of a number one scholar, Bai Liying also got the news in Shuijing Dragon Palace and returned to Baishui Dragon Palace specially for this reason.

"Daughter, I didn't expect you to marry a number one scholar?!"

Bai Shuilong Lord Bai Nu also looked happy.

Bai Liying had a calm expression on his face: "Zhang Lang is well-educated and talented. He is a top scholar himself. It's a pity that as a wife, I can't help him in many ways!"

Hearing the words, Bai Nu comforted and said: "Good daughter, don't worry, my son-in-law said that if the relationship lasts for a long time, how can it be day and night!

Now that you are good at cultivation, helping him to give birth to an heir will be the greatest help to him! "

With a bright look in Bai Liying's eyes, she nodded slightly.

There is still a trace of complicated emotions in her eyes. She once thought that after repaying Zhang Jian's kindness for saving Baishuilonggong several times for Zhang Jian's children, she would resolutely retreat to practice.

For this reason, she did not hesitate to use the secret technique of the Dragon Palace, tormenting Zhang Jian for half a month, in order to fulfill her long-cherished wish as soon as possible.

It's just that now, she finds that some things are not as simple as she imagined.

Especially after being emotional, it is not easy to control.

Just like she is now, after hearing the news about Zhang Jian, she can't wait to grow wings and fly into the other's arms.

……

And just as the inside and outside of Fengyang County were buzzing about the fact that the number one scholar was born in the county.

The Honghua Empress Temple on the outskirts of the city.

No, at this time it has been changed to the Temple of the Stove King Empress. At this time, a special light descended from the sky into the temple of the Stove King Empress.

At this time, the real body of the Red Flower Goddess sitting in the gods could not help but look at the void, and saw a golden light falling, and another majestic and mighty voice came from the depth of the golden light.

"In Fengyang County, there is a kind girl Du Honghua who is brave and courageous, she protects the village, holds the incense of the county to gather the fire god's official duties, and upholds the divine way of the country... Today, I specially bestow the post of Ruzao Wang Niang, who is in charge of the people's stoves, safe, and wards off evil spirits. The duty of eliminating disasters and welcoming good luck and narui, I hope you will uphold the righteous way, practice well, and achieve positive results as soon as possible!"

As the awe-inspiring divine voice fell, the golden talisman in the void flew into the depths of the Red Flower Empress' brows and merged into the Vulcan imprint on her brows.

Empress Honghua was overjoyed at this time.

As far as she raised her eyes, she seemed to be able to see phantoms of stove fires emerging from the depths of the void, and the divine body seemed to be able to switch at any time and enter those divine domains.

You can even see a large area of ​​uncultivated blank areas of divine power.

This Kitchen God priesthood has great potential.

"There is hope for enlightenment!"

At this time, Empress Honghua felt that her divine power continued to grow, and she began to integrate into the divine body, the divine division.

The Kitchen God rune deep in the brow is constantly evolving.

　no time...
