So, he called Jia Yun, took out the fruit wine he kept at home, and went to various restaurants to let people taste it for free. It seemed that he was just to build publicity for the wine produced in his own workshop. In fact, he asked Jia Xia to follow Jia Yun.

There are other instructions. Just ask the two of them to wear their ears and listen to more news.

Jia Yun is smarter, but doesn't know much about scholars.

The fourth master originally wanted to hear what these people were talking about, and did not want to receive unexpected goods. Jia Xia came back and said: "I met a senior brother who also studied under the current gentleman. According to the gentleman, this senior brother

His skills are still far from enough. He once told him not to be impatient, and to train for another three years before trying again. If he is lucky, it would be good to be Sun Shan. Before, this senior brother was a little depressed, and he said that there was nothing wrong with him.

I have been thinking about studying again. I didn’t want to end this year, and even my husband didn’t know about it. Moreover, when I met him in a restaurant before, he was very high-spirited, and his speech was different from before, and he was a little arrogant. I gave him a jar of wine, and he actually

I accepted it calmly without even a polite word, and even said a lot of harsh words. I felt something was wrong in my heart. My husband said that his article was not good, but he is so confident now..."

The implication is that there is something fishy here.

Fourth Master and Lin Yutong had already guessed it, but now it was just confirmed.

Then Lin Yutong discovered that when Fourth Master was practicing Shiwen, his writing was a little different. This examiner liked articles with smooth prose the most. At Fourth Master's level, even if he didn't like it, he wasn't very good at this type of writing.

Yes, but he might not be able to imitate and write this kind of articles. But the articles that Fourth Master is practicing now are more plain and thick than the simple and restrained ones under normal circumstances. A quick look shows that they are really too uneven.

Lin Yutong understood what Fourth Master was going to do?

He planned to fail the Qiu Wei examination this time.

Even if the article has nothing to say, if it is not eye-catching, it will be easily dropped.

Therefore, Lin Yutong didn't pay much attention to this autumn.

The results of the exam really came out. Just as Lin Yutong expected, the Fourth Master failed to make the list. He was not on the list.

One case manager actually failed the exam in Qiu Wei.

There were people from poor families who failed to pass the exam, who were shouting that those who passed the exam were only the children of powerful people and rich families. In the blink of an eye, a man with obvious literary talents and a side branch of the Duke of Rongguo also failed the exam.

.

Some people said: "He's not a powerful person. This Jia Xiucai has already been on the fifth server there."

Many people posted their own articles and exchanged them with each other. They also asked for the fourth master's article, and everyone came to read it in detail to see how it was worse than what others had passed in the exam.

Many of those who won the rankings were at the bottom of the county exam in April. Now they did much better than those who ranked first. There was a difference of several months, but those who studied well and had a solid foundation,

It is absolutely impossible to say that one's level has dropped to the point where it cannot be seen without special reasons. But it is impossible for someone with such a low level to improve by leaps and bounds in such a short period of time.

Everyone has their own opinions on the quality of other people's articles, but the more you read Si Ye's articles, the more interesting they become. At first glance, they seem unremarkable, but when you read them in your mouth, you feel that every word is as valuable as a thousand pieces of gold.

This kind of article is not on the list.

The fourth master threw down the article and drifted away. Among the chief cases like him, he was the only one who failed the exam. The chief cases from other counties were still on the list, although their rankings were not very good. As long as they passed the exam

If you don't, others won't make trouble.

Now of course the fourth master will not make trouble, but this article is a stepping stone for these students who want to make trouble.

They copied the article and spread it everywhere.

When Mr. Chen, the examiner, saw the article, he was stunned: "How could such an article fail?" Then cold sweat broke out on his head, "Hurry! Hurry! I am going to the palace!"

But there was no rush. Because of the connivance and guidance of some people, all these candidates rushed to the palace gate to lock the door.

The best way to quell this chaos is to cancel everything and start over from the beginning. The imperial court sent two examiners to complete the exam together.

There was such a scandal in the scientific examination, it was like the Emperor slapped the Emperor directly on the face, and the whole world saw it. Needless to say, everyone knows how suffocated the Emperor is at times like this.

In mid-September, Fourth Master entered the examination room again. The results this time were excellent. After the list was announced, Fourth Master's name was ranked first. This Jie Yuan deserved the title.

Lin Yutong laughed. If there is no accident, the fourth master will definitely be in high school next spring. His reputation has been established, and everyone must treat it with caution. Moreover, the fourth master's success and future achievements will no longer be compared to Jia

Homes are connected.

However, the Jia family did not feel that there was any intention to draw a clear line with them. When Jia Zheng heard the news, he clapped his hands repeatedly and called Jia Zhen again, saying that it was time to kowtow to his ancestors. He went again.

I told Mother Jia that the family should hold a banquet and celebrate properly. Mother Jia called Wang Xifeng again, "Since it was your master who said it, let's take care of it."

Then relatives and friends have to be notified of this kind of celebration, and this is not a small banquet.

Wang Xifeng sent someone to call Lin Yutong, but when the person arrived, they found out that he was not there.

"It's said that Mrs. Qian was feeling a little bad again. She didn't eat for two days... The couple didn't dare to delay, so they both left." Wang Xifeng looked at the old lady's face and whispered: "It can be seen that she is not a person.

She is so lucky. My son is so advanced and my wife is so filial, but she... there is nothing I can do about it."

Jia Mu said: "Now that I know, I will send the imperial doctor to have a look." Then she turned around and said to Mrs. Wang: "Invite Taoist Zhang here tomorrow and ask again..."

Zhang Daozhang naturally would not say that the fourth master was doing this or that. Now he and the fourth master often come and go. When it comes to talismans, he has to learn from others. So he only said: "Then Qian is not a person at all."

The fortune of wealth. Before, when her grandpa was weak, she could still support her family. But now that her husband has healed and Brother Heng has become successful again, she cannot stop the good fortune when it comes. What do you think?

...Blocked the evil spirit... The ones who are close, the ones with strong horoscopes can't bear it, and the ones with weak horoscopes can't bear it. It's an anomaly that the master is good... He is weak, so he should be able to bear it.

If you fight fire with fire, if he is strong, he must be like that Qian..."

"Then if something unexpected happens to Mr. Qian, it will be a pity for Brother Heng's future." Mrs. Wang asked tentatively.

Zhang Daochang paused and said hurriedly: "That's not the case. Everything must have good and bad points. This will benefit the family, and there will be someone to take care of the bad. If there is no such person, wouldn't it be a good thing?"

Mrs. Wang then said "Oh": "It's just an illness that comes and goes, it doesn't have any major hindrance."

"Mrs. Shengming." Daochang Zhang looked at the old lady with a smile on his face.

Jia Mu pondered for a long time, and then said: "That's it. It's fate!"

Daozhang Zhang didn't want to say anything more. He was tired of seeing the old lady, so he came out. He met Wang Xifeng again, and Wang Xifeng laughed loudly: "Why didn't you bring a plate this time?"

Daochang Zhang only laughed: "Grandma is making fun of us again!"

Wang Xifeng nodded to Daozhang Zhang with a half-smile, and said in a low voice: "Don't take it for granted that you are sneaking around and looking at me, don't you know?"

This is because it is suspected that Daochang Zhang took advantage of Lin Yutong and Fourth Master and spoke exclusively for them.

Zhang Daozhang laughed and did not deny it. Wang Xifeng did not raise any objections, so she went inside and asked Jia Mu which imperial doctor was sent and how many medicinal materials were sent.

After hearing this, Mrs. Jia and Mrs. Wang gave up.

Wang Xifeng went back and said to Ping'er: "Look, this didn't just fly up the branch, and it kicked our house."

Ping'er said: "Grandma said this. I sent someone to deliver some pots of chrysanthemums a while ago. Why did you just say that you kicked them with your feet? Besides, as long as she has a good relationship with grandma, it's fine. Is she close to the house?"

Yes, it doesn’t matter what they do. Grandma herself said that you can tell that the old lady is abnormally affectionate towards others. Do you think that person is a fool? No one can tell whether it is true or false. If nothing else,

, I just said that I stopped kissing the old lady, but what about Miss Lin? It’s true that even my own sisters are not as considerate as her. Could it be that it’s for Mr. Lin’s sake?”

This is not possible.

Wang Xifeng stopped talking: "Then why do you think she did this? She avoided it once and avoided it twice. We are all fools and we know what avoidance means."

Ping'er said: "We are from a distinguished family, and I am from a scholarly family..."

Wang Xifeng sneered: "This is ridiculous." She mused a little: "Ask someone to prepare a car, and I will go there myself tomorrow. It would be fine if I just picked up the high branches and flew away, but what if it is because of our family?

If there is anything inappropriate that makes people stay away, this is not a good thing."

Lin Yutong didn't know Wang Xifeng's plan, so she couldn't care less about it at the moment.

Because there was an uninvited guest in Zhuangzi, who came to see the fourth master. He only said that it was their master who invited him.

As for who their master is, Lin Yutong and Fourth Master both have some guesses, because the people standing in front of them are all eunuchs...
