Chapter 369
The county magistrate copied the list of the top twenty students on a piece of paper, and said: "Tomorrow morning, invite these twenty students to the county government office, and Master Zhang will give them a lecture."

Ning Zhongwen's eyes lit up: "Can we listen?"

Zhang Ci nodded: "The deans of the academies are also here."

Tong Junlan bravely asked, "Can I have some more masters?"

Zhang Ci glanced at him: "In a few days, masters will also write an article, and everyone will review it together."

Everyone shuddered, they also want to take the exam?Is it also ranked like this?

"One copy of these lists for the county government and one copy for the college. After returning home, I will tell the students how to study and write articles." Zhang Ci pointed to a pile and tried to say: "These are the test papers for the little dolls, and the answers are all there. After returning to the academy, organize the exam by yourself, count the results, and praise the outstanding ones?"

Jing Taixing asked: "Does the county government distribute prizes?"

The county magistrate sneered: "If you don't get issued by the county government, you won't be able to do things? How can the academy encourage students to study and rely on the county government?"

Jing Taixing fell silent.

The county magistrate announced: "In the future, the unified examination will be held every two months, and the time will be set on the seventh day of the first day. I hope you will have better results in the next examination."

The people from the academies went back with the task, and the county captain stretched quietly.

The county magistrate smiled and bowed to Zhang: "Thank you, Mr. Zhang, for your guidance and supervision of the dog. Both boys did well in the exam this time."

Zhang Ci smiled: "Mr. Ling is smart, studious, and willing to ask for advice. He will become a master in the future."

The magistrate was so happy from ear to ear.

Si Bing and Si Gong also came over, wanting to see their children's exam status.

Seeing that Yan Weicheng and Yan Zhicheng's names were in the top five, and Jiang Xiuwen's and Wei Yang's names were in the top ten, I felt a little uncomfortable.

The county lieutenant said: "Jiatai Academy didn't pay enough attention this time, and the two children can do so well in the exam, which shows that the usual grades are really good. Be prepared, and you will definitely do better in the exam next time."

Si Bing laughed dryly: "In fact, they all studied hard, but they didn't expect the test to be so bad. It seems that Jiatai Academy is really not good."

Si Gong was a little embarrassed: "I'm afraid that the dean will be angry if I change the academy now."

The county lieutenant patted the two of them on the shoulders: "There is no need to change schools. Mr. Zhang said that the masters also have to take the exam. He will give lectures to the masters. In the future, the masters will teach at a higher level. Don't worry, with Mr. Zhang here, the children I will definitely be admitted to Juren as soon as possible."

The yamen servants received a new task to supervise the construction of schools in various villages.The address was discussed during the Lizheng meeting, and was chosen according to the size of the village, population, and distance.All craftsmen gathered together and redistributed manpower.

Mo Jian led the two of them in and said, "Ma'am, master, look who's here?"

Chen Fan took a look: Bai Ce?Han Yu?
The two saluted: "Madam, Master."

"Come in, it's hot outside." Chen Fan greeted.Even though they are subordinates, Chen Fan still has the feeling that guests come from afar.

Bai Ce and the others sat down and said, "My family has received the letter sent by Madam and Master to the capital. This time they asked me to deliver the letter. Wait for the next trip, and Fengyun will come back from the capital."

Zhang Ci took over a bulging burden: "Thanks for your hard work." Mother Xu smiled when she saw it: "Did each of them write a letter?"

"It's very possible." Chen Fan looked forward to it.

Unpacking the package, there were indeed many letters with different signatures.

Zhang Ci took out Mrs. Feng's letter first, opened it, read it, and repeated it again.Nanny Xu wiped away tears.

Everything in the family in Beijing is fine, but the yearning for Mr. Feng is getting stronger and stronger.

"Thinking makes one grow old. The old madam has either missed her son or her husband these past few years. It's really difficult." Madam Xu was very worried.

Zhang Ci: "It's a relief for me to go back to the capital. It will be a matter of time before my father's affairs. We will leave Yuanshuo County next time, which is just a blink of an eye."

Madam Xu wiped away her tears: "Madam and Master have done so many things to make Yuanshuo County rich and prosperous. Next time, I will never go to some impoverished place again. You can't be too capable, it's better to take your time."

Zhang Ci pulled the corners of his mouth: "We are for the people and for our own ambitions. If it is really a fool, in his eyes, it is useless."

Mother Xu was startled, and looked at Zhang Ci nervously.

"It's okay, don't worry, he is not someone who kills indiscriminately." Zhang Ci comforted.

Zhang Ci read the letter written by Chen Zhongyan and Chen Yahe again, and he saw that it was a business report.

The shop was open as usual, and the business was going on as usual. The unexpected thing was that Chen Ya's family had arrived in the capital.

"This must be someone behind the scenes." Chao Yun blurted out.

"Indeed, they successfully arrived in the capital and found the gate of the Chen Mansion. How could there be no one controlling it?" Mu Yu agreed.

Early that morning, a group of people who looked like beggars arrived at the gate of the Chen Mansion, attracting a group of people to watch.

"Why do you come here to beg for food? This is the mansion of an official, be careful not to be knocked away." Someone yelled.

"We're not here to beg, we're here to find someone." Chen Zhongzhu's grandmother said, looking at the door with blank eyes.

The crowd of onlookers began to ask about their situation, and the Qian family told them everything. They also said that when they were in Yuanfeng County, their son and daughter didn't recognize them and left them in a village to fend for themselves.

There were a few rhythmic ones in the crowd, and the emotions of the onlookers were quickly aroused.

"How can there be such a white-eyed wolf who doesn't even recognize his parents and grandma?"

"They followed the township lord, clothed and fed well, and left their families aside?"

"That Xiangjun is also vicious, no wonder he was demoted to a border county to be a small county magistrate. Look at how much money her family has made over the years."

"That's right, ordinary people can't afford tens of pennies a year. They sell a watermelon for thirty pennies. One shop opens after another. The dowry is directly [-] pennies in cash, and there are so many silks, satins, gold, silver and jewelry."

There are also those who disagree, saying that the Xiangjun has done a lot for the people, but his voice is drowned in the sound of crusade.

The door opened, and Chen Zhongzhu and Chen Ya came out in coarse clothes, and fell to their knees on the ground with a plop: "Father, mother, you are here? Did you suffer on the way?"

Passers-by denounced for a while, then gradually stopped, wanting to see what Chen Zhongzhu and the others had to say.

Chen Ya cried and said: "That year when we were running from the famine, my brother and I were thrown away and almost eaten by a group of hungry and crazy people. It was my brother who desperately protected me and escaped. Thanks to the good people in Yuanfeng County who helped me all the way, We just got away with it a little bit.”

People looked at each other.Xiangjun's younger siblings are all adopted, as everyone knows.But it's been a long time, and they have long forgotten why they entered the Chen family's door in the first place.Parents actually abandoned their own children?
