After Mr. Xia left, Wang Zhaozhai took out the list that had been snatched by him for countless times, and pondered it from beginning to end. Every name on the list represents an identity and a background. Every time he snatched, it represents a contest behind it, and the pros and cons between Wang Zhaozhai's choice and a trade-off.

Wang Zhaochao felt that it was not appropriate to go to anyone. Guizhou has been under the control of the chieftains since ancient times. This has never changed since the Qin, Han, Tang and Song dynasties. If he wanted to gain a foothold in Guizhou, he could not do without the support of these chieftains who had been passed down for thousands of years. How could he be punished at will?

After thinking about it, Wang Haoming focused on the names of the five students who had truly passed the exam by relying on their academic skills. He had seen Xu Boyi among these five people today and had a good impression of him. Although no one greeted him, he knew that Xu Boyi was from the Tian family.

It would be fine if the Tian family didn't pass the exam outside the quota they deserved. Since he was acceding to the top five by his strength, he really didn't dare to erase it at will. Although the examiner was him, there were two deputy examiners. Once someone leaked the news, he would be guilty of the Tian family. So, he drew a circle on Xu Boyi's name and stared at the remaining four names.

These four people are ordinary scholars without power, power and background. Wang Haoming thought for a while and chose a person whose name didn't look very nice. He gently hooked the pen and the fish that had just jumped over the dragon gate was beaten back to the mortal world by him.

Wang Haoming wrote the three words "Ye Xiaotian" on the name he erased, put the pen on Bishan, and leaned on the official hat and chair and breathed out a long breath of turbid air.

Dad Xia has promised that he would greet the major chieftains, but since only one place is given, the chieftains must have a competition, and the competition will be even more intense. He decided not to offend anyone and let Ye Xiaotian occupy the quota of a scholar without background. No matter which chieftain decides to give up a place, it will be a favor he gave.

Wang Haoming gently tapped the armrest of the chair. After making up his mind, he suddenly thought of Cui Xiangsheng. He just made a harsh statement in the car, but Ye Xiaotian's scholar's reputation was not only not removed, but instead became a juren. How did he explain to his old friends?

Wang Haoming thought for a while, got up and rushed to the yard where Cui Xiangsheng lived. Cui Xiangsheng had just finished bathing, wearing a Taoist robe, simply tied his hair and sat barefoot on the couch to cook tea.

This time tea is reflected in the three procedures of water, fire and flushing. Water and fire both pay attention to a movable type, and live water and fire. The water used by Cui Xiangsheng is to let the servant go to the top of the mountain to bring the spring water. The best black lily charcoal is burnt vigorously. There is a simple purple clay teapot on the small red mud furnace.

Seeing Wang Haoming coming in, Cui Xiangsheng smiled and said, "Brother Haoming is long. You have arrived just after I have fried this tea. Come on. Please sit down."

Wang Haoming was not polite either. He took off his boots and sat cross-legged. Cui Xiang first ordered the servant to get the chessboard. The two black and white men were arranged, and the two of them chewed tea while playing.

When the chess game gradually became stalemate and the two sides were in a difficult situation to resolve, Wang Haoming picked up the chess piece and said to Cui Xiangsheng: "Xiangsheng. The list of juren will be announced tomorrow. I have thought about it and decided to make Ye Xiaotianlu a juren."

Cui Xiangxian raised her glass to taste tea. He was stunned when he heard this and said strangely: "Why did Brother Haoming say this? Could it be that Ye Xiaotian's article is really outstanding and indestructible?"

Wang Haoming slowly left a piece on the chessboard and said, "His article is just right and not very exciting, but he should be awarded a juren. Cough! Of course, this is not important, what is important is... I think if he cut off his scholar's reputation, he would be cheaper."

Cui Xiangxian frowned and said, "Brother Haoming's words have puzzled me."

Wang Haoming smiled and said, "Xiang first, in front of Qiyun Pavilion, Ye Xiaotian was crazy and out of control and was too rude. This matter soon spread. If Ye Xiaotian fell out of the list at this time, even if he should have failed the list, what do you think of the world?"

Cui Xiang pondered silently, secretly pondering Wang Haoming's true meaning.

Wang Haoming said again: "Once Tongren and Zhang Yi heard about your holiday with Ye Xiaotian, and learned that Ye Xiaotian had never won the imperial examination, he would definitely think that you and I were injuring him. Wouldn't we offend a local emperor for no reason? Now I not only want to give him a title of juren, but also take him as an official..."

A cold smile appeared on Wang Haoming's face and said, "With his character as a human being, once he becomes an official, are you still afraid that he will not be able to make a big mistake? Then, who else can save him!"

When Wang Haoming said this, he quickly glanced at Cui Xiangxian's expression, for fear that he would see the real reason why he changed his original intention. He lowered his voice and said, "I have already thought about it. When he was elected as an official in Huxian, he arranged for him to be an official in Huxian.

It has only been three years since Hu County's rescinded the chieftain and appointed a resigned official. It is very chaotic. Even the elderly officials who are good at dancing will inevitably fall apart when they arrive. What's more, he is a naughty man. If he causes trouble there, he will have the laws of the court to govern him. Then you and I will be ridiculous to see that this arrogant person will suffer the consequences."

Cui Xiangxian didn't believe Wang Haoming's shameless words, but he couldn't think of the real reason. He had just arrived in Guiyang and had the status of a great scholar, so others would not be bored. He told him the romantic affairs of Ye Xiaotian and the eldest daughter of the Xia family in Huaxi, so he was puzzled.

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

Winter was wandering in Xia's mansion for three days before returning. He knew the details of the Xia family, but he was not sure that Ye Xiaotian was not clear about this. With his taciturn temperament, he would not tell these younger generations about his reunion with his old friends. Ye Xiaotian naturally would not ask too much.

Now Ye Xiaotian has finished the exam. Every day, he has nothing to do except traveling around with Yingying. When he came back from Xia's house, he took the opportunity to ask the Venerable to start practicing witchcraft. Ye Xiaotian was not easy to push, so after he came back today, he was pulled to his room by winter.

A black jar was placed on the table, filled with poisonous insects, and they were squirming as soon as they saw the light, making people's scalp numb.

In winter, he hunched his shoulders and squinted his eyes, and said to Ye Xiaotian with a "sincere": "Honor, the practice of witchcraft is very complicated, but no matter how complicated witchcraft is, he must first be able to practice witchcraft. Otherwise, it will eventually be a tree without roots and water without source.

Now what the subordinates teach the Venerable is the method of refining the Gu worms. To raise different Gu worms, different poisonous insects need to be selected, put them in a certain proportion in the jar, and raise them with blood. If the Gu worms can be raised, the first step will be considered successful. Today, the Venerable practices the Yin Snake Gu, and the proportion of various poisonous insects is required. Can the Venerable memorize it?"

Ye Xiaotian nodded and looked at the poisonous insects in the jar. He said with some stern bones: "I've memorized it."

A smile in winter made his face even more gloomy: "Okay! Let's go back and teach the Venerable to identify these different types of insects and learn how to catch them. Today we will learn to raise the Gu first, and ask the Venerable to cut his wrist and bleed in to raise the Gu insects."

After handing a silver knife, Ye Xiaotian looked at the jar, and gritted the knife to his fingers. Dongtian shook his head and said, "Venice, cutting a finger cannot guarantee that every insect can eat the blood of the Venerable. If the last one who became a Gu worm has not received enough blood from the Venerable, he will not be the main one. He will not be able to use it easily. He must cut his wrist."

Ye Xiaotian grinned and said, "Slash your wrist? If the blood flows continuously..."

A mouthful of white teeth appeared in winter. He smiled and said, "Don't worry, Master, I have the best golden sore medicine."

Ye Xiaotian said: "Okay, these insects... will take a few days to feed them?"

Winter said: "Seven days!"

Ye Xiaotian said in shock: "Seven days? A woman has only shed blood every month. I am seven days? If this continues, I will die of excessive blood loss."

Dongtian smiled and said, "No! We have prepared a lot of food for the Venerable to replenish blood and energy."

Ye Xiaotian suddenly said, "Replenish blood and energy... I understand! I said that starting yesterday, every morning, you will let me drink sesame and red date porridge, and there will be a pork liver soup at noon. There is a dish of fried lotus root slices and black fungus for dinner. I asked me to drink donkey-hide honey soup before going to bed. It turned out that it was to fatten me and then kill me!"

In winter, he said laughably and unrestrainedly: "Honor, this is not raising pigs..."

Ye Xiaotian said: "Okay OK, okay, you need not say anything, I know what to do."

Ye Xiaotian raised his knife in his hand and said, "It's a knife to stretch out his head, and it's a knife to shrink his head. Anyway, I can't avoid it, so I'll fight!"

Ye Xiaotian closed his eyes and slashed it with one knife!

Winter coughed and said, "Lord, it is difficult to cut your wrists by the back of the knife."

Ye Xiaotian's face became hot, and then he turned the knife and slashed his heart gently.

Winter said: "Please pour blood into the jar, and make sure that every poisonous insect can absorb the blood of the Lord."

Ye Xiaotian raised his wrist above the jar and watched the blood fall into the jar drop by drop. Although he was not dizzy, his feet were still a little weak.

Ye Xiaotian's knife was a little shallow, and the blood was flowing a few drops and stopped flowing. Winter repeatedly urged him until he wanted to do it for him. Ye Xiaotian was helpless and then cut the wound a little bigger. Seeing the blood pouring into the jar, it was so painful.

Finally, Winter nodded with satisfaction and said, "Okay!"

Ye Xiaotian quickly said, "Then why don't you apply medicine and bandage it on me!"

After taking the golden sore medicine in winter, I saw Ye Xiaotian's hand still raising it on the jar, and I couldn't help but say, "Honor, the blood is enough."

Ye Xiaotian quickly handed his hand to him and said angrily: "I know, I just don't want to waste it."

winter:"……"

The method of bandaging wounds in winter is extremely skillful. He quickly applied the golden sore medicine to Ye Xiaotian and the bandage was finished. Ye Xiaotian thought that the insects in the jar were sucking his blood, so he didn't want to stay in this room. He covered his wrist and just walked out of the house, when Xia Yingying arrived in a hurry.

"Brother Xiaotian, come quickly!"

Yingying hurriedly pulled Ye Xiaotian under the big tree aside, and told her family that she knew Ye Xiaotian's identity as a venerable. She decided to learn Ye Xiaotian's words if they were separated. She said with tears in her eyes: "I don't want to leave you, Brother Xiaotian, what should we do?"

"What to do? What to do?"

Ye Xiaotian wandered around under the big tree for a few times, then turned around and looked at Yingying: "Yingying, do you really want to follow me, don't you regret it?"

Yingying nodded vigorously, shook her head vigorously, and said strongly: "Don't regret it!"

Ye Xiaotian said: "Okay! Then we... can only cook the raw rice first. Are you willing?"

"willing!"

Yingying answered without hesitation, then hesitated for a moment, and asked in confusion: "How to cook?"
