Good son-in-law of the Ming Dynasty

The two major examiners are both recruiting students for the first time, and they both feel very excited and fresh.According to the admission ratio of ten to one in the examination room, among the more than 100 applicants, there will be at least ten Jinshi in the future.In addition, many candidates may also be selected for officials, which is a huge network resource.

So, at the beginning, the two of them talked a few words to the candidates and encouraged them for a long time.

At the end, they didn't have much energy, said a word casually, and nodded.The Chang Sui next to him invited the new imperial examiner out and led the next scholar in, speeding up the progress.

Having said that, it still took a lot of work for more than 100 candidates to learn from each other.It took a lot of time to hold the Luming Banquet before, but now it has been dragged into the evening.

The two main examiners were cold and hungry, and finally, they both looked at each other and smiled wryly.

In the end, when the sky is completely dark, it is considered completely finished.

Xie naturally ranks low, so he is naturally at the bottom.

His family was rich, and the teacher's thank you ceremony was extraordinarily grand, and the gifts he sent were only two envelopes.

Originally, seeing him coming empty-handed, Mr. Shi looked a little ugly.But he took the envelope and opened it, and inside was a stack of money notes newly issued by the Development Bank, all with a denomination of 50 taels, roughly estimated, at least twenty.

Immediately cheered up, he talked a lot, so he sat down and chatted with Xie naturally.Who else is there in this student's family, who has studied for a few years, the name of the mentor who taught him, and his political affiliation?

Xie naturally didn't rank high, but he also knew that luck is very important in the imperial examination, as long as he wins, it's fine, even if he doesn't, it doesn't matter.According to later generations: it does not affect life.

After looking at the list, I saw that my name was listed in the search column, and the person who recommended the paper was Su Mu, the great master of the Shaanxi Provincial Examination hand-picked.Knowing that he had failed the list, Su Mu saw the joint he had left and searched him out.

I was tearfully grateful in my heart, knowing that my fame was bestowed by Su Mu's kindness.This kindness is truly greater than the sky!

Thinking that I am now a Juren, and also a student of the Su University scholar I admire the most, I feel excited on my face.

While answering Master Shi's words respectfully, he looked at Su Mu with excited eyes.

It's a pity that to Xie Ranran's disappointment, Su Mu just nodded casually, and after a few words of entertainment, he stopped talking.

Xie Ranran suddenly felt a little strange in his heart, and thought: Could it be that Xie Ranran didn't do something well and made his teacher angry.Yes, it must be that the test was so bad that the teacher was disappointed.Hey, Xie Ranran is at the bottom of the ranking this time, Master Wu En taught all the way from Ningxia to Guanzhong, ashamed, ashamed!

In fact, Xie Tianran had a bad idea.

Su Mu took Xie Ziran, it was because he saw the joints from his test paper, it was convenient.

This matter is not humane, but it is a big trouble when it is spread.

As a great celebrity and a chancellor in the Imperial Academy, such things as reputation are very important to Su Mu.

Therefore, Su Mu pretended to be indifferent.

Seeing that Master Shi was still talking non-stop with Xie Ziran, he gave Zhao Hulu a wink.

Zhao Hulu understood, and shouted: "The next new imperial examination candidate comes in to meet the great master!"

So he invited Xie Tianran out, at this time Master Shi still seemed a little unfulfilled.

After seeing all the new imperial examination candidates, Su Mu was also tired, and was very cold, so he hurriedly rode in a carriage and rushed home. He didn't care about eating, so he jumped directly on the hot kang, which was already burning, and spent a long time. Only then did I get comfortable.

This year's winter came late, but it was extremely cold.

Su Mu is originally from the north, so he is not afraid of the cold.It has been four years since I traveled to the Ming Dynasty, and I feel that the winters of previous years are not like this one.

His heart moved. This summer is hot, winter is cold, and the climate is a bit strange. If there is no accident, the winter wheat harvests in various places may fail.The land in Ningxia is all owned by military households. If the harvest is not good, if Liu Jin comes to clear the land of the army, it may cause great changes.

Moreover, it may be more intense than the Anhua King Rebellion in real history.

It's a pity that the next issue of the mansion newspaper will not be delivered for some time, Su Mu's eyes are darkened, but he doesn't know anything about the situation above the court.

The provincial examination in Shaanxi has come to an end, and it is said that Su Mu's errands at hand have been completely finished, and he can return to the capital to pay the order at any time.

Now, I still need to find a reason to stay in Shaanxi.

What is this reason?

Su Mu couldn't think of it for a while, and decided to wait for a few more days.

On the second day, because he was too tired yesterday, Su Mu didn't get up until noon.After exercising in the yard, having lunch, and reading for an hour, Zhao Hulu came over to report, saying that he was thanking the old man for asking to see the elder.

As soon as he heard that Xie Ziran came over, Su Mu liked this young man, and he was also happy in his heart, so he called out please.

After a while, Xie Ranran came over and made a long bow: "Student Xie Ranran has met his mentor. Today, when he returned to the village examination, the student did not pass the exam, which made the teacher ashamed. If it were not for the mentor, the student would not be where he is today."

As she spoke, she felt ashamed and touched at the same time, and her eye circles turned red.

Xie is naturally a person with clear grievances and grievances, with a quack air in him, he does things rashly, and his emotions are exposed.

Su Mu was surprised, and helped him up: "Why is the emperor's uniform like this? I can't say for sure about the imperial examination, as long as I win."

Xie Tianran was even more moved: "The parents who gave birth to me, the teacher's kindness, the student will always remember. Yesterday the teacher refused to talk to the student, and the student knew that the teacher was blaming the student. Although I feel ashamed, I have to bite the bullet and come here to apologize."

Su Mu suddenly realized, and laughed: "So what Jun Fu said is this, it's not that I have any opinion on you, it's just that I'm too tired and don't want to talk."

"The student is unknown."

Su Mu was still laughing, and told Xie Ziran about meeting so many students at one go yesterday and the cold weather, which he couldn't bear.

Only then did Xie Ranran realize that the teacher was not blaming himself, and his heart relaxed, and the stone in his chest fell down.

The teacher and the student laughed for a long time before sitting down respectively.

Su Mu: "Jun Fu, you and I are now teachers and students. To be a teacher, you have to stay in Shaanxi for a while, and I'm afraid you won't be able to return to the capital in the short term. If you want to take the imperial examination, you will go to the capital to participate in next year's spring exam. You just go When the time comes, I'll write you a few letters and take them back, maybe I can help you a bit."

"Thank you, teacher." Xie Ranran was grateful, and said: "However, Xie Ranran knows that he is not knowledgeable enough. Even if he tries to take the exam, he may not be able to pass the exam. He will not participate in next year's Chunwei."

If it were another teacher who saw his student giving up the imperial examination, he would be furious immediately and scold the student for not seeking to make progress.

However, Su Mu knew that the competition in the imperial examination was too cruel, Xie Tianran really wanted to refer to it, [-]% of them would fail the exam.Besides, he couldn't let go of his business.Rather than wasting time, it's better not to go, and then talk about it later when you are sure.

If he really wants to be an official, Xie naturally already has a reputation for raising people, and it will not be difficult for Su Mu to find a position for him.

He nodded immediately: "It's up to you if you don't go, and the imperial examination is not the only way."

Seeing Su Mu being so open-minded, Xie naturally breathed a sigh of relief.

At this time, Zhao Hulu came in with two cups of tea.

Xie Ziran said again: "Teacher, the student wants to ask you about someone."

Su Mu: "Tell me."

Xie Ranran: "My mentor is a close minister of the emperor. Now that you have the secrets of the central government, all the affairs of the court are in your heart. The student wants to ask, has your mentor heard of a person named Mei Fugui?"

"Ding Dang!" With a sound, the teacup in Zhao Hulu's hand fell to the ground.
