The aunt said, "I'll go to Zheng Qi's house to inform you."

Zheng Qicheng was another wealthy family in Zhengjiazhuang. At the beginning of the Northern Song Dynasty, the grassroots rural areas organized a hundred households into a group, and one group was established as three elders. The informal officials of the court were usually responsible for cooperating with the county magistrate to manage the people in their jurisdiction. If you want to participate in the imperial examination, it is best to find elders to insure them.

Zheng Lang said, "I'll go."

"Son, you are still young, let the aunt go." Si Niang said.

"I'm not young anymore, I'm in the inner palace and the empress dowager and the emperor."

Si Niang was speechless.

In fact, it is also a cold joke. Compared with the emperor and the empress dowager... Jiang Xing'er savored it and laughed choked.

After dinner, Zheng Lang took Jiang Xing'er and Si'er with some gifts and walked out.

It was still a bit hot, and the villagers were enjoying the cool outside the door. Seeing Zheng Lang coming out, they greeted each other warmly. The scenery of the small village was very quiet, with thick ancient locust trees everywhere, and green. The villagers' lives were good and bad, but in many years of peace, there was no destruction of war, and they could basically have food and clothing. Unlike during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, most people ate in the morning and not at night. At this time, people were still very simple, and in addition to some admiration, there was a lot of sincerity.

Zheng Lang bowed his hand to answer.

In fact, Zheng Lang stayed in the door and rarely dealed with the villagers, but his humble attitude made the villagers feel better about him.

As we walked along the way, we didn't know that something big was going to happen.

He came to Zheng Qichang's house and put down the gift.

Zheng Qichang asked in surprise: "Xiaolang, why do you have to bring a gift here?"

"Da Weng, I want to participate in the Examination this year. Please help me become a guarantor."

"Xiaolang, are you going to participate in the trial?" Zheng Qichang was overjoyed and said, "Okay, OK."

It would be impossible to rely on him to protect him alone. There were nine more people. Without caring about the greetings, Zheng Lang ran out and stood at the entrance of the village and said, "Lang Gezi wants to take the scientific examination, and those who want to be the guarantor come here."

To be a guarantor for others, you have to think about it. If you are a guarantor for Zheng Lang, there will be too many people. The news has not been spread. When it is spread, 95% of people in Zhengzhou will take the initiative to be a guarantor for Zheng Lang. The village immediately caused a sensation.

They are all spreading, and they are endless.

But how capable are you, you still have to go to the examination room to try it. Besides, did Zheng Ran fail the exam? That is the sun coming out from the west.

In fact, Zheng Lang is very low-key and is preparing to study for another year. Now he is confident in his explanation, but if he saves the exam, it is a little difficult. But what happened next year... Who dares to continue to save the exam? He studied hard and could try it the year afterwards.

They squeezed together to Zheng Qichang's house to protect Zheng Lang, but they were pushed away by Zheng Qichang one by one. Our Zhengjiazhuang finally produced a talent, but it was two talents. First, it was Zheng Lang's father, but unfortunately he died early. No one could protect him. He picked out the villagers, who could read and write, and he picked four people and five had good moral character, or the elders in the village. In addition, he had collected ten people himself, wrote the letter of protection, and submitted it to the state yamen.

Zheng Lang said thank you again and went home.

If you don’t participate, you will have a good grade as soon as you participate. Put down all the piano and read with peace of mind.

The guards arrived at the prefecture yamen. The governor was named Gao, and the new one was only three months after C took office. He had served as the governor in another state and had the experience of presiding for the trial. Most of the guards would not make any mistakes, and even if there were any mistakes, he would not be able to find them. Therefore, his attitude towards the trial was the same as in other places. He would hand it over to each county for review after passing the review and then hand it over to him to determine the quota for the trial. After checking it layer by layer, there would be no mistakes.

In the middle of July, the night was a little cooler, but it was a little hot. Like other civil servants of the Song Dynasty, they had to enjoy it in addition to work. Gao Zhizhou sat on the bamboo bed to take a cool, and there was a beautiful concubine next to him fanning him.

He did not have Zheng Lang's ambitions. He did this not only by learning, but also by his wrists, so he could get to the top step by step. Therefore, he usually reads books, but only occasionally reads books. At this moment, he was under a grape trellis, half lying down, looking up at the Cowherd and Weaver Girl in the sky.

Secretary Hu, the secretary of the Jiedushi, walked in and said, "A thing happened to Gaozhizhou."

"What's the matter?" Gao Zhizhou sat up, and asked casually when he was at home.

"Zheng Xiaolang, Zheng Jiazhuang, will participate in the examination and examination this year."

"You mean Zheng Xiaolang who visited the capital twice?"

"It's him."

"That's good." Gao Zhizhou was overjoyed. The first two magistrates advised him to do so, but he did not agree. He did not expect that he would actually agree to take the scientific examination in his post.

Even the concubine beside him shone with her eyes when she heard Zheng Lang.

"The magistrate is not that simple. Liu Zhizhou advised him three years ago, but he was only twelve years old at that time and was not famous. Even if he passed the last exam, it was a good thing. At this moment, he was so popular that if he didn't do well in the ranking, he might have something to say." At first, Secretary Hu was very excited, and later he thought about it calmly and found that there was a big problem.

Kochiju sat up straight all of a sudden.

Secretary Hu's words reminded him.

Zheng Lang is not the former Zheng Lang, so there is no need to doubt that he passed the exam. But he couldn't pass the exam. With his talent at this time, if he couldn't enter the top ten, it would make people feel dissatisfied, and even if someone in the top ten was unhappy.

Look at the favor he has been in the palace for more than half a year.

If one order is not good, many people will be unhappy. They all analyze benevolence and righteousness and are determined to follow their unique skills to become a saint. They only got one hundred and almost failed. Are you wrong?

But this is not the case.

If you want to get a good ranking, there are many factors. If you perform on the spot, do you have the right questions and your appetite? After all, the Zheng family is still young. What if you encounter him unpopular? Unless you have a question related to benevolence and righteousness.

But now that benevolence and righteousness are not yet determined, who dares to come up with it? Is the answer right or wrong with the examiner's appetite, especially the fu theory. If it is not right, the ranking will not improve.

If the ranking is not good, others will criticize you. It is possible that some great gods in the capital who value Zheng's son are also unhappy.

He stood up, his eyes were a little worried, and asked, "Secretary Liu, what do you think you should do?"

If something goes wrong, he is the first to bear the infamy. Some other officials may also be affected. The recorders do not have much responsibility. They are in charge of the judges of various subjects and the Jinshi subjects, and they cannot escape, including the secretary who copied the test papers and some people who are in charge of the masters and others.

Secretary Hu looked at Gao Zhizhou's concubine with his eyes. It was hot and he was fanning Gao Zhizhou again. She was sweating all over her body, so she was wearing thin clothes, her chest was open, and her snow-white chest was hidden from time to time. A layer of fine sweat came out of her charming face. She was standing under the grape trellis, wiping the sweat with a ropa. Her pretty look was very attractive.

Secretary Hu didn't think she was moved by something else.

Gao Zhizhou waved his hand and said, "Yuan'er, go down first, I'll say a few words to Secretary Hu."

The concubine responded sweetly and stepped down.

Secretary Hu then said: "There are methods...but because of the Zheng family, it is difficult to do... The magistrate, please write a letter to the Beijing City Report first."

It was very vague, but Gao Zhizhou understood it. One method was that it was fraud! No matter how strict the policy was, it was not very difficult to cheat on someone. However, Zheng Lang's reputation was too great and he would attract attention. If it was not done well, it would be leaked.

Report to the capital city, see what the court has, and then make a decision. This is the safest way. It seems that Secretary Hu doesn’t have any skills, and he has another way to make a decision!

"I know." Kochishu laughed.

Secretary Hu stood up and said goodbye.

Gao Zhizhou walked back to his room and started writing a letter. The letter said some official duties, and finally said in a seemingly tone that the Zheng family is going to take this year's scientific examination. Although there is a word, I believe that the interested big shots will pay attention.

The concubine didn't know and asked strangely: "I just heard Secretary Hu's anger and actually said that the Zheng family didn't pass the exam?"

"If you can pass the exam, you have to get a good ranking... If you don't understand, don't ask." But I felt a cold sweat in my heart, even my concubine said this, and others. And many things have happened in the capital this year, and the political situation is complicated. If something goes wrong at this moment...

Fortunately, Secretary Hu was quick-responsive and gave himself time to prevent in advance.

"Yes." The concubine replied obediently, then stood behind Gao Zhizhou and continued to fan the fan for him, and said, "Official, your handwriting is better than the Zheng family's handwriting."

It was not the past when Gao Zhizhou came to Fengzhou, and he was humble and went to Zheng Lang's house to visit him. It was not before. Zheng Lang grew up day by day, soon he would take the scientific examination and soon he would enter the career of the officialdom. Think about it, the things that the capital gave him during this period will tell how great his future is.

This leaves a thin portion.

After arriving at the Zheng family, he was not a person who loved words, but he was curious and asked for a picture of it.

Zheng Jiazi was very stingy about calligraphy and paintings. He hesitated for most of the day before he wrote a piece of calligraphy for him. He suspected that if he had not put down his body and visited him in person, he might not have been able to ask for the calligraphy from him. But the calligraphy is a good character.

Kochishu laughed and said, "It's almost the same!"

This is what Guan Zai said at home, and I dare not say this outside. Since Zheng Lang realized his font, his handwriting has been a thousand miles a day. Although he cannot be said to be a big shot, few people can compare with it. At least he is not sure how good the characters are than Gao Zhizhou!

This letter was written carefully. After writing it, it was revised repeatedly. It didn't matter what was before. The most important thing was the sentence that followed. It was modified at least ten times word by word before finally starting to copy it. The envelope was sealed and a word was written on it.

You have to send it to the capital with a quick report.

He was in a good mood and turned to his concubine and said, "Don't fan it anymore, you have to work hard."

"Official, I will follow you, no matter how hard I work, I will be willing to do it."

"Hahaha", a slanderous saying made Kochizhou feel better and laughed loudly.

The concubine asked again: "Where is the official? Do you think that Zheng's son can pass the Jie Yuan exam?"

"That's right, it depends on luck." Even if you use some means, you have to look at it. If you don't do well in the exam, you will also cause an uproar after giving him the exam paper. The reason is that you can't tell me what I said to you.

Zheng Lang is still studying hard at this moment, but he didn't know that he had not yet taken the exam, so he decided to be ranked within the top five!

This reason...
