Among the students in She County today, most of the students who were forced to come to the prefectures by Cheng Kui to seek justice were very close to him and were also very famous. Everyone is about to leave the provincial examination this year. Therefore, Wang Fulin's persuasion really touched their itch. Even if someone starts to see the great master only praise Wang Fulin's poem, he feels a little sad, and now he is also full of energy.

This is true, poetry is indeed a small Taoist, and the field of science is the great Taoist. Instead of fighting with these guys in Huizhou Prefecture School, it is better to fight the ranks of the Ke Qiuwei now and see which one is better!

After seeing Wang Fulin say this, he suddenly tore all the words and papers that had just been carefully removed and threw them into the air. Cheng Kui finally said with conscience: "Okay! Since Brother Wang is so humble, what else can we say!"

As he said that, he sneered at Cheng Wenlie, who had a gray face and said with great utmost importance, "Cheng Wenlie, you just asked me if I had been brave enough to win the courage of the bear heart. I will tell you now. Where do you go to complain about what you are today! With the ability to jump up and down to beg your grandpa to sue grandma, I will go back to gain a reputation in the autumn examination! Oh, I forgot that you have been in the palace for ten years and have never been in the second grade in the scientific examination. I don't know if you can be qualified to take the imperial examination in the year of the monkey and horse. As for Wu Dajiang, Ye Ting, you clean your neck and wait! Dear brothers, let's go!"

Cheng Kui's condescending tone was really annoying, but no one could say a word to the students of the five counties of the prefectures who were being watched by the people and the yamen run around him. Although they had separated from the people and entered the class of scholars, most of them had stopped here, otherwise they would not have been able to live in the prefectures. They had long gone to major academies like the best scholars in the five counties. Compared with the people opposite, there were many of them who were qualified to participate in the autumn examination of the current academic exam, but their hopes were relatively slim.

Cheng Wenlie was so angry that he could only grit his teeth and curse: "Cheng Kui, don't bully people too much. If your autumn examination is in vain today, I will see how you gain a foothold!"

Seeing this scene, Wang Fulin finally felt relieved. Since Cheng Kui had already identified these two people by name, he was so arrogant now, but it does not mean that he would not be investigated. It should be noted that Ye Junyao, the magistrate of She County who was also very miserable, was there to hear it. Will he let it go? Moreover, after these righteous words, although he had not been studying in the county school for a day, he finally got involved in the organization!

When he was in a daze, Cheng Kui was pulled by laughing and disdainful answers. Other She County students also stepped forward and surrounded him. The group walked back in groups like winners.

Seeing this scene, Ye Junyao breathed a sigh of relief. He immediately bent down and sat back into the sedan chair, kicked his feet gently and said, "Get up the sedan chair and go back to the county government!"

Fortunately, he happened to call Wang Fulin to ask in front of him today, and a storm that might have caused great trouble was calmed down. Moreover, if Wang Fulin's aggressive method could make the county have a few more scholars during this year's provincial examination, it would be even better! It would not only be considered his political achievements, but also further narrow the relationship with the gentry! As for the two rumor-making students in the government, he had the chance to deal with them when he turned around!

"Why didn't I pay attention during the county examination at that time? Wang Fulin was very smart? Well, I can see him again when I look back!"

On the way back to the county town, Wang Fulin didn't mention that he came with Ye Junyao, the magistrate of She County, and praised Cheng Kuina's mocking and provocative spirit with a smile. He had just developed the majesty of himself and others. This rescue also made many She County students who were originally in trouble, so they walked all the way and talked all the way. By the time they returned to the She County Academy, everyone was already familiar with each other.

If Wang Fulin had washed away the stigma in front of the inspector Xie Tingjie in Minglun Hall, the students just accepted such a classmate; if Wang Fulin's unintentional work today made him a talented person to be familiar with; then just in front of the school, he used the method of giving up seeking justice for himself, and instead praised the achievements of the autumn examination in She County, which really won recognition.

Although this recognition is true, it is important to know that more than 100 students in She County are expected to reach the top of the imperial examination, but only a small group of people. Even those who are not present today may regard Wang Fulin as a friend who can make when hearing what happened today. From this point of view, even if he does not go to the imperial examination in the future, he will initially win the friendship of some future She County officials!

Wang Fulin, who had successfully avoided a dispute, cheered up and said goodbye to everyone, and after he returned to the Ma Family Inn, he was paralyzed. This morning, he went back to Xin'anmen to see Xie Tingjie. When he returned to the inn, he took Jin Bao to his brother-in-law's house to pay his respects. After having a few lunches, he was urgently summoned by the She County Magistrate Ye Junyao. He hurried back to the county government from the Fucheng City. Then Huohuoliao and Ye Junyao sat in a sedan chair from the county town to Huizhou Prefecture School in the Fucheng City, and then came back again... Poor that his waist and legs were almost broken. He lay on his back on the bed, and he was too lazy to move his little fingers, let alone having the spare energy to eat.

"Dad, take a shower and relax. I'll ask the shopkeeper to boil water?"

Wang Fulin knew that it was Jin Bao who was speaking, but he didn't even have the strength to agree. He nodded in a daze, and soon he fell asleep in a daze. In a daze, he vaguely felt that someone had taken off his clothes and was then immersed in hot water with suitable temperatures. Who else was rubbing on his chest and behind his back. But at this moment he didn't want to open his eyes or speak, and he was still half-awake. I don't know how long it took, but when he opened his eyes slightly, he found a person lying on the bedside. He reached out and pushed him in surprise. Seeing that the little head was raised, he saw the person clearly with the light of the bedside lampstand, he frowned immediately.

"Jinbao?"

Jin Bao rubbed his eyes hard, and yawned in vain, and his whole body was a little drowsy: "Dad, is it dawn?"

"What's the dark outside? It's dark outside!"

As soon as he said this, Wang Fulin heard his stomach croaking in a bad mood. The memories of the day finally came back to his mind. Seeing Jin Bao let out a light sound, his head drooped and hit the bed board. He fell asleep ignorantly, and even snored softly. He couldn't help but feel angry and funny, and no longer woke people up. After gently getting down from the bed and pulled up his shoes, he took a robe from the clothes rack and covered it on Jin Bao's body. Then he held a light in his hand and planned to go out to the kitchen to order food.

But as the height of the lampstand changed, the originally dim room finally became brighter. Seeing a few high-legged plates with lids on the square table next to the window, he went up to uncover the lid one by one and saw that there were several colored snacks. Although they were not exquisite, for him who was hungry at this moment, it was more reliable than asking someone to go to the kitchen to make food now. Just as he was rustling with food, he heard the door suddenly being pushed open, which scared him and almost choked.

Lian Qiao, who entered the door, didn't expect that the person standing at the window to eat at the third update in the middle of the night was Wang Fulin. She was dumbfounded with the lamp in her hand, and after a while, she stuttered, "Little Official."

I'm so scared!

Wang Fulin swallowed the half of the cake in pain and finally got angry. Lian Qiao also reacted and hurriedly stepped forward to apologize, "I just saw the lights in the main hall moving and there was a sound, so I came over to see what I wanted. Unexpectedly, the little official woke up. The little official wanted hot tea, so I'll go to the kitchen to take a look."

"Forget it, after such a dark and lantern, do others still want to sleep?" Wang Fulin took a few snacks and felt like he was pressing his chest against his back. He waved his hands casually and said, "You go to bed too."

Just as Lian Fortune was about to step down after she was about to leave, Wang Fulin suddenly found that he had changed into a clean set of mid-clothing and pants, and quickly asked, "Who changed my clothes before?"

Lian Qiao quickly turned around and explained: "It was supposed to be my service, and Qiu Feng rushed to help, but in the end, Brother Bao asked the sedan chairman Kang to help put the little official in the bathtub. The rest were his own hands, and he was so tired that he was sweating profusely. After Brother Bao finished his work, he just scrubbed a little and kept guarding the little official by the bed."

Knowing that it was Jin Bao's own actions, Wang Fulin was very helpless. He nodded slightly at Lian Qiao. After she left the door, he went over and latched the door. When he returned to the bed, he saw that the eight-year-old Jin Bao was sleeping well. He was still a little sore in his waist and back. He really didn't have the strength to move the kid, so he simply put it on the bed and covered it with a quilt. He lay on the bed against the wall to the east.

When he closed his eyes, he still thought with emotion in his heart that even if he had a biological son in the future, he might be a naughty child and might not be as good as his current cheap son!

The next sleep, Wang Fulin slept until dawn. After getting up, he saw Jin Bao sleeping soundly, so he didn't go to alarm him. He put it on himself and walked out of the main hall. Unlike the sunshine a few days ago, when he opened the door, he found that it was raining heavily in the sky, but the air was quite fresh. He stretched his hands and feet under the eaves for a moment, and then he saw someone coming out of the ear room, but it was Qiu Feng.

Although he was not busy last afternoon and evening, Qiu Feng was now blue and black, and he didn't close his eyes all night. It took him a long time to find that it was Wang Fulin standing under the eaves. He hurriedly stepped forward and bowed his hands, but he couldn't say anything, not knowing what to say. Wang Fulin had nothing to ask him, and just nodded and continued to do his unsettled aerobics. At this moment, a sound of ping-pong suddenly came from the main room. Wang Fulin was stunned and immediately turned around and entered the room without saying a word.

"How come it was so big that it was early in the morning?"

"Dad, how could I sleep here?"

"You still ask me? You don't sleep well and have to stay with me. I can't move such a heavy guy like you. Of course, I can only get you on this bed and make do with your bed for one night!"

"I'm just worried..."

"I'm not sick and injured. I was so tired yesterday. I'm just worried!"

Hearing these conversations inside, Qiu Feng took a deep breath and turned and retreated silently. But before he could hide back into his ears, Lian Qiao came in excitedly, with a happy face. She didn't even bother to say hello to Qiu Feng, and quickly walked to the door of the main hall and said, "Little official, Ye County Zun sent someone to send a post, saying that on the Dragon Boat Festival in the next day, please go to the Xin'an River to watch the dragon boat race."

Wang Fulin in the room was not too surprised by Ye Junyao's invitation. He only heard the three words "Dragon Boat Festival" and calculated with his fingers and found that he had been out of Songming Mountain for five days.
