After the night fell, everything was silent. In a slightly dilapidated old house in Lin'an away from the center of the city, a man in a brand new scholar's robe bowed farewell to the friends who celebrated him, smiling and looking very festive.

This is also natural. After all, this is the residence of the people at the top of the house exam, so don’t look at the broken and ugly house. In the eyes of the children of aristocratic families, it is even worse than that of the toilet. However, since the time since the list was released, there have been a constant stream of people visiting.

For a moment, the house where the house was originally barely covered with people who were rushing to make friends with them. The gifts they gave were hung all over the walls, and there was even a little piled up in the room.

Whether it is fish or food like books, calligraphy and paintings, the value is also good. If you can sell it out, you may become a small family with small assets in an instant!

This is the charm of the imperial examination!

Although I have to study hard for more than ten years, once I achieve something, I will be famous all over the world immediately and I will no longer have to worry about enduring such a poor life.

Even though Zhu Erdan still lives in this small house, no one will look down on him because of this. Instead, he even thinks that this person is a poor student and a truly talented person. He feels that this person has a bright future!

At this time, a guest pretended to be joking when he left: "Brother Zhu, it is reported that the Prime Minister also favors you. I think it will take a long time to become successful!"

The other person was half flattering and half echoing, "Yes! This is the first place in the palace examination, and the future of the provincial examination and other exams will surely win results. Then there will be appreciated by the prefect, and it will be very different if you just raise your hand! I believe that the status and status will not be comparable to ordinary people, right!"

"At that time, we may not be able to rely on Brother Zhu to give us some food!"

"Oh, don't talk nonsense about this matter, there is no fixed number yet!" Zhu Erdan raised his hand to signal everyone to calm down, then pretended to be mysterious and smiled, "Although the magistrate does attach great importance to me, he still only values ​​it after all. But since all the kind brothers regard me as confidants today, if there is anything that can help in the future, just say it!"

"That's true!"

"Let's not disturb Brother Zhu's good things!"

The others all looked like "I understand, I understand" and left while joking.

Zhu Erdan stood outside the door and looked at their departure figures. After a long time, he curled his smile, looked up at the sky, noticed that a bright moon in the sky was covered by dark clouds, frowned slightly, and then shook his head secretly and turned back to the house.

As soon as I entered the room, I saw a gift box covered with brocade and carefully wrapped in brocade. I sneered disdainfully, bent down and picked up a small jade bracelet placed in the box, put it in my hand and looked at it. The disdain in my eyebrows and eyes became even more serious.

"It's all worthless things... I can't even afford to pay for these good money. What else can I do?"

"But they are all guys who have taken the initiative to make friends with the powerful and powerful people who have become the top of our house exam. I really think I will be as stupid as before. Can't I be grateful to them because of a little favor?"

He put the jade bracelet on the table and turned to make a pot of tea for himself to relieve the alcoholic feeling that had been drinking with the guests before. The corners of his mouth were raised, and there was a hint of pride on his face, muttering to himself.

"I will just wait until then to solve the matter of the Wen family and marry the magistrate's daughter. What kind of fortune will you be rich and prosperous? Do you still need to care about these little things?"

"What's more, after changing this heart, I may not be able to go further on the road to the imperial examination. Maybe the prefect may not be the end at that time."

But at this moment, a sudden pain came from his chest like an ant worm biting, which made him pale in an instant. He covered his chest with force, and even slid down from the chair. He lay on the ground and twitched several times, as if the fish jumped ashore were facing the pain of suffocation.

After a long time, the pain was relieved, which made his expression a little relieved, but his forehead was covered with cold sweat and blood was gone.

"Damn..."

He staggered up from the ground, his eyes showing ruthlessness: "Why is this heart still uneasy..."

After changing his heart during this period, he will basically suffer so much every day, and sometimes it is possible to have two or three times a day. And regardless of time and place, he almost made him ugly on the street several times!

And if this scene was seen by the prefect, I would probably have to reconsider the matter of marrying my daughter to him! After all, not everyone hopes that his son-in-law is a sick person who will die at some time.

"At least you have to be careful during this period..."

"The moon has not come out today. It seems that Brother Lu will not come over today. Otherwise, he might beg Brother Lu to think of a solution for him. It would be fine if it could be relieved..."

He looked at the sky outside the window again, but the moon still did not come out, so he could only sigh with a pity.

In fact, there is another simpler way, which is to exchange the original heart. But he naturally didn't want to, and he never considered this idea from the beginning.

"Life is better now! I don't want to go back to the hard days I used to live with Miss Wen's little pitiful alms!"

Thinking of this, his body and mind were already very tired after what happened today. He just took a little rest and turned off the lights and went to bed to rest. After a moment, he was already asleep. Naturally, he didn't know that there was another person in the room looking at him.

Du Bai, who was emitting a faint golden light outside his soul, stood with his hands behind his back and stared quietly at Zhu Erdan who was snoring on the bed, but his expression was a little solemn.

"Sure enough, it's similar to what I guessed. Someone helped this guy change his heart."

With his fingertips, he untied the man's clothes out of thin air, his chest was exposed in front of him, and the most eye-catching thing was the slender scar on his chest, which was extremely hidden. If he hadn't had the excellent five senses, he would have probably not noticed it.

It is said that the change in this person's mentality was only a while before the examination, and the wound had healed into this.

"This kind of surgical technique should have been impossible in ancient times. This level can only be achieved unless special magical powers are used."

Du Bai stretched out his hand and pressed it down his chest, but did not touch his skin and flesh, but directly penetrated into the vicinity of his heart, and could clearly feel the powerful beating of his heart and blood vessels.

"It's true that it's the heart of the hijacks!"
