Changzhong drank hot water and did not leave. The woman in the yard had already returned to the house, and only the little girl was tidying up the dried paper in the yard.

The male owner of the family came back and stood outside the fence for a while before coming back to his senses, "Who are you?"

Changzhong put down his cup, "I went out to study and passed by here to ask for some hot water to drink, and I took the liberty to disturb me."

The man was only twenty-eight years old, and he was older than he was in his actual age. He looked like he was thirty-five or sixty years old. Chang Zhong's eyes fell on the man's hands.

The man reacted for a while and was excited, "Are you a juren?"

Chang Zhong shook his head, "It's just a scholar with some family background. He likes to study everywhere."

The man remembered that he did not introduce himself, "Liu Mingsheng, I am ashamed that he failed to win many years of hard work."

Why did Changzhong come to this house? Liu Mingsheng in front of him did not erase his will. "I just read the article you wrote. The article is well written. How old are you?"

The man was stunned, "This year's twenty-eight."

As he said that, he looked at the paper written in the yard, pain flashed in his eyes, and he didn't understand, he knew he would definitely win.

Changzhong said to the servant: "I see that the environment in Xiaoliu Village is good, so you can rent a yard."

The servant glanced at the coachman and thought that no one knew about the adults here, so he took the order out.

Liu Mingsheng asked, "How many days do you want to stay?"

Chang Zhong nodded, "I see that you are also a scholar, can you ask for advice?"

Liu Mingsheng felt sour, "Boy is not even a Tongsheng."

"You are so narrow-minded. Everyone has their own learning methods. It is very important to get the best to fill their shortcomings. Humility is very important in the path of studying."

Liu Mingsheng greeted him, "It's the boy who has short-sighted eyes."

When Changzhong saw the woman coming out, Liu Mingsheng remembered that he was holding the food in his hand and said to his wife: "I got twenty copper coins today, and I bought all the food."

The woman's eyes were delighted and frowned again, "There is no paper at home."

Liu Mingsheng said: "When you have no money, you can buy it before you buy it. You and your children can't go hungry."

Chang Zhong listened to the couple talking and felt a little better about Liu Mingsheng. When the woman and the child entered, Chang Zhong asked, "I think your handwriting is good, why didn't you go to the bookstore to get it?"

Before he finished speaking, Liu Mingsheng interrupted: "I have been there, don't need me."

Even if he only needs the lowest reward, he doesn't need to do it. The work he can find can help settle accounts or write letters.

In the capital, the highlight of the book club has come. Concubine Chen smiled and said, "Everyone knows that I have prepared a lottery ticket, so everyone must be curious about what to compare."

The female family was waiting quietly, and the concubine didn't keep it in hiding, and continued: "Whose short story is better, the premise must be what she thinks."

Zhulan looked at her granddaughter. Is her granddaughter cheating when she participated?

After the words of Concubine Chen finished, many people wanted to participate, especially those who wanted to show off. They won the first place and were not only famous, but also attracted the attention of Concubine Chen.

All the participants were ladies, but the woman did not participate but expected her daughter to win the first prize.

Concubine Chen has ordered someone to get the first prize, "This is my dowry, head and face. I have never worn it before, and it has been renovated."

Take out the lottery and the atmosphere of the game becomes even more tense.

Yudie didn't want to participate. She didn't want this limelight, so it would be better to watch the game quietly.

Yuyi is not a person who likes to show off, and she also suppresses Yujiao and is not allowed to participate.

Yuwen was even more lazy to participate. She looked up at her grandmother with a smile on her lips. She always thought that the story she told was good.

Linxi is not easy to participate, so as not to say it is unfair. Who makes her identity there?

The girl who participated stood up and Linxi paid attention to Miss An. This ambition was quite good, but I don’t know if it was matched with the wisdom of ambition.

How do you say the stories told by the ladies? Most of them tell strange stories. Whether they tell love or not, they all care about their reputation.

Not to mention that there are really good ones. Among them, a girl Jiao told the story of solving the case and added some ghosts. Fortunately, she told them during the day, so she would scream at night.

Zhulan's eyes lit up when she heard this. This girl is OK and she is also good at creating an atmosphere.

Concubine Chen also nodded repeatedly when she heard this, but in the end she came out, Miss Jiao took the lead.

Linxi said to Yuwen: "This girl is interesting."

Yuwen, “Yes.”

Linxi looked at Miss An who was jealous but wanted to endure it, and sneered in her heart.

Miss Jiao was full of excitement. Her story was recognized. Not only did she get the lottery, but the concubine also bought her story!

When Zhulan saw that the little girl was not arrogant or impatient, she curled her lips and the little girl caught the eyes of many women.

In Xiao Liujia Village, Changzhong took the exam for Liu Mingsheng, and his eyes were full of praise and his knowledge was very solid. As expected, there was a problem with not winning. This person was obviously suppressed if he couldn't make money.

Chang Zhong asked, "I'm about to register, can I continue the exam this year?"

Liu Mingsheng hooked his fingertips and said, "No, my wife needs money to produce her family."

Changzhong smiled, "I will have a question for you when I take the school exam."

Liu Mingsheng was inexplicably nervous, "Please speak."

"What do you think of the current imperial examination system?"

Liu Mingsheng was confused. What about the imperial examination? Scholars, farmers, industry and commerce, and the imperial examinations were selected for the imperial examinations, which was also an opportunity for poor students to jump into the Longmen. It was naturally good, but he had no grudges in the center, and he was obviously good at learning.

Chang Zhong was not anxious and looked at the mountains in the distance quietly. He thought about the talents recruited by the Ministry of Works over the years. The Ministry of Works has a very good calculation. My mother said that the person in the Ministry of Works is a genius, but he must not be able to pass the imperial examination. Because the Four Books and Five Classics were a mess, my mother smiled and said that the bias in the imperial examination was too serious.

Although my father dislikes the Ministry of Works as a big money-eating household, the money he should give is never less, and he will also talk about the importance of talents from time to time. Only when the emperor is influenced by his father's thoughts can the Ministry of Works select talents nationwide.

Chang Zhong curled his lips, but in fact, he had changed a lot without realizing it, just waiting for the opportunity to accumulate slowly to achieve change.

Liu Mingsheng pursed his lips, "Do you know the county magistrate?"

"I don't know."

Liu Mingsheng took a deep breath, "The county magistrate is an official who is a juren. After more than ten years of relationship, he became the county magistrate today. However, the county magistrate is not concerned about the county government affairs, but he likes to invite scholars and scholars to recite poems and write poems."

Changzhong's eyes were deep, "If it were you, how should you deal with the county government affairs?"

Liu Mingsheng was confused, "Ah?"

Chang Zhong smiled and stood up and said, "I'll be here today. You go to apply for the exam. Don't worry about meeting you will be fate."

Liu Mingsheng's heart was beating, but he endured it, "No, no."

"If you feel sorry for me, please help me write a set of four books, pen, ink, paper and ink, and then send it to you tomorrow."

"ah?"

Changzhong smiled, "Don't rush to give it to me, you can write it slowly, and I'll give it to me when I come back from studying."
