The college entrance examination has been completed, and the newly selected students must fill in the personal examination, age, origin, and height and appearance characteristics. The county’s teachings and entrusted them to the prefecture professor. After the hairpin banquet, the county’s teachings will bring back the students from the county, even if they are admitted.

On April 20th, the Minglun Hall of the Palace School was filled with drums and music. The freshmen wore new blue cloth shirts and delivered a ceremony to the governor under the leadership of the coach. The feast of hairpins officially began.

Governor Feng wore golden flowers on his head and looked at the students who were bowing to the hall with a spring breeze. He smiled and said, "Although Dezhou is small and has a strong literary style and talented people are all the heroes of my Dezhou. The Master said, "If you study well, you will be an official." Congratulations to you on the road to heaven from now on. In the future, you will surely shine on the prominent villages. I wish you all the talents to be prosperous and have a bright future."

An official speech inspired the newly enrolled scholars to be happy, all of them were full of energy and their chests were straight, which might damage the spirit of the talents.

Governor Feng saw the expressions of everyone, his face was proud and his heart was sneering. Everyone liked to listen to good words, but in fact, most people would waste their time on the fame of scholars. How many people can truly achieve success? The word "fame" is abusing many scholars in the world.

However, there was a man named Feng who was still very optimistic. He raised his face and asked with a smile: "Who is Jiang Anyi?"

"Young Master is that." When Jiang Anyi heard the call from the governor, he took a few steps and stepped forward and bowed.

Governor Feng came to Jiang Anyi, circled around him twice, and asked in surprise: "Jiang Anyi, how old are you this year?"

"The young student born in Bingchen is sixteen years old this year."

"The young man is terrifying." Governor Feng sighed: "At such a young age, he could write such good sentences as 'The wild ferry has no one's boats lingering on his own' and 'Empty and green wet people'. This is the gift of nature and a truly elegant talent, which is not as good as me."

Deng Haonan stood beside Governor Feng and interrupted, "Jiang Anyi, I am the chief of Zechang Academy. Do you want to come to my academy to study? With your talent, you will achieve something in less than a few years."

Professor Cheng was dissatisfied and said, "Deng Shan, everyone has a love for talent, and our school is willing to recruit him out of order." He turned to Jiang Anyi and said, "Jiang Anyi, you are a talent in Dezhou, why go to Renzhou to see others' faces?"

As soon as Professor Cheng said the wrong thing, Governor Feng was from Renzhou, so he even swept the governor in. He saw that Governor Feng's expression remained unchanged, and he breathed a sigh of relief, quietly retreated aside and stopped saying a word.

Governor Feng then called a few people forward and asked with a gentle voice. Finally, Governor Feng asked, "Where is Guo Huaili?"

When Guo Huaili heard that the governor actually called his name, he was so excited that his body was trembling with fat. He saluted with excitement and said, "I pay homage to you, sir."

When Feng saw Guo Huaili wearing fat, he smiled and said, "I didn't expect that you could write such an ethereal sentence as 'The moon rises and shocks the mountain bird'. It's really a person who can't behave like a person, it's not good."

Guo Huaili said proudly: "Although the young man has a little more flesh, his heart has seven orifices."

Everyone laughed.

When Guo Huaili saw the governor smiling, he became more and more crazy. He took out the folding fan from his sleeve and opened it with a "brush", revealing the poem "The lovers are idle and the osmanthus falls" written on the fan, and presented it to the governor Feng with both hands, saying: "Sir, the young student copied the poem "The lovers are idle and the osmanthus falls" on the folding fan and presented it to the adults to express the students' admiration for the adults."

Governor Feng took the folding fan and looked at it, trying to fan it, feeling light and comfortable to his hands, and smiled and said, "Why is this thing? It's elegant, where can I get it?"

"This is a folding fan, only this one will be given to adults for trial." Guo Huaili said with a shrewd look.

Governor Feng pointed at Guo Huaili with a fan and scolded, "It turns out that he is fat and cunning, and it is really aggrieved not to do business." He turned around and saw Liu Zicai, and smiled, "This boy and Yixing are fat and thin, which complement each other."

The sound of gongs and drums started, and the clerk walked over with a red tray. The plate was filled with silk flowers. One freshman was one hairpin next to the Confucian scarf. For a moment, the red flowers were bright and bloomed in the tribute courtyard. After the hairpin banquet, the worship of the Master was worshipped. The ceremony ended, and the teachings from each county brought the freshman back.

Jiang Anyi, the two scholars who passed the Xinqi County exam, was the leader of the high school case. Director Ma Xunzhao was praised by Teacher Cheng at the hairpin banquet, and felt that there was a light on his face. When he saw the two, he had a rare smile on his thin face. He encouraged him a few dry words, Director Ma Xunzhao said, "I have something to do here, you will go back with me the day after tomorrow."

The scholar who was admitted to the school had a carriage and horse fee and food fee. At this moment, both of them were willing to go back to the house, so they were not willing to follow the coach Ma. When they learned that the two were going home by themselves, the coach Ma showed a smug smile. The food fee for the cars and horses of the coach naturally belonged to him. After a few words, they swung their sleeves and left by themselves.

When people were in good spirits, Lao Wang's carriage was fast and he returned to Xinqi County a day early. Guo Huaili knew that Jiang Anyi was in a hurry to go home to report the good news, so he made an appointment to ask Lao Wang to send Jiang Anyi home. Lao Wang knew that Jiang Anyi won the head of the case, so he would not be willing to serve Jiang Anyi and send Jiang Anyi to the front of his house.

Standing in front of his own bamboo fence, Jiang Anyi found that the bamboo fence had fallen down. He had only been out for a few days. The house looked dilapidated, and An Yong didn't clean up. Jiang Anyi endured his unhappiness and shouted loudly as he walked in, "Mom, I'm back."

Yan'er heard the sound coming out of the room, with her hair disheveled. When she saw her brother flattened her mouth, she cried: "Brother, you're finally back, mom is sick."

Jiang Anyi was shocked and hurried into the room where Jiang Huang lived. Seeing her mother lying on the bed with her eyes closed, her face was covered with a thin quilt, and a smell of medicine was scattered in the room.

"Mom, mom, what's wrong with you?" Jiang Anyi reached out and touched Jiang Huang's head, which was burning and burning.

Hearing his son's call, Jiang Huang opened his eyes hard and gasped with difficulty: "Yi'er, you are back, how are you doing in the exam?"

"I passed the exam, mom, what's going on? Where did An Yong go? Why don't you take care of him here?"

Hearing that Jiang Anyi passed the exam, a hint of joy flashed across Jiang Huang's yellow face, and he murmured, "Thank God." Then he closed his eyes weakly and fell asleep in a drowsy way.

Jiang Anyi pulled Yan'er outside with his hands and legs. Yan'er cried constantly. Jiang Anyi asked softly, "Yan'er, don't cry, tell me what happened?"

Yan'er was still young and couldn't explain clearly. When she was anxious, her uncle Huang Kaishan walked in with a few pills. Jiang Anyi didn't care about the noise and learned the whole story from her uncle's mouth: Yesterday, Jiang Chen went to the county yard to report Jiang Anyong's words to deceive the people and bewitch the villagers. The county sent a yamen runner to capture Jiang Anyong. Jiang Huang was kicked to the ground when he blocked him. He was anxious and injured and fell ill in bed.

It turned out to be Jiang Chen's family. An Yi's eyes burst out with anger. This vicious woman could never forgive her.

At noon, the third uncle Huang Kailin hurried back from the county and told the situation he found out: the reason was that the court strictly investigated and used evil techniques to deceive the people. Jiang Chen reported that Jiang Anyong bewitched the villagers in the name of a mountain god. Now An Yongan has not been tried in prison. After the third uncle spent a tael of silver to hold the prison head to take care of him, he invited Wu Xuli from the punishment room to have a meal. After getting the benefits, Wu Xuli agreed to take care of him and asked the Jiang family to prepare more silver and accept the punishment.

Hearing that An Yong was temporarily safe, Jiang Anyi breathed a sigh of relief and secretly thanked that he was in the timely manner in the case. Although the scholar was not an official, he could not kneel down according to the law. He had the right to speak in front of the county magistrate and had much room for maneuver.

The whole family discussed for a while and decided to go to the county government to complain about his injustice tomorrow. After dinner, my third uncle rushed to the county town again. My uncle decocted medicine to take care of my mother. Jiang Anyi found "Zheng Lu" from the book box and wanted to sue, but he couldn't do it if he didn't understand the law.

……………………

Xinqi County Government is located in the middle of the city facing north and south. The front door is three wide rooms with eight-character walls and a pair of majestic stone lions on both sides. The front half of the east end in front of the door is a drum for the people to beat drums and complain about the wrongs. There are two stone tablets in the front half of the west end, engraved with the words "False accusation plus third grade, and thirty-fighting"

Today is not a day of revenge, so there is no need to go to the court to handle the case. County Magistrate Chen Shide planned to enjoy breakfast slowly before going to work in the second hall. The concubine Bai Feng bent down and handed over a bowl of rice porridge. Chen Shide glanced at the snow-white that could not be blocked in the red breast. Thinking of last night's panting and moaning, his heart became hot, and he gently pinched Bai Feng's wrist, causing him to roll his eyes coquettishly. Chen Shide smiled proudly, and his body, who was over 50 years old, was still full of energy like a boy.

"Rumbling" and the sound of drums alarmed all the officials of the county government. Chen Shide had just taken two sips of carefully cooked rice porridge, but his hands were trembling by the sound of drums. The bowl of porridge tilted, and the porridge in the bowl dripped down his beard. Bai Feng hurriedly took out a scarf to wipe Chen Shide. Chen Shide pushed Bai Feng away angrily and shouted: "Change clothes and go to the hall."

The hall was beating the drum three times, and the two yamen runners shouted "Magnificently". Chen Shide was in his official uniform and sat in the main hall. The three yamen runners had finished their worship and were placed on both sides. Chen Shide was angry and slapped the agglomeration and shouted, "The person with drum beaters."

Jiang Anyi followed the yamen runners in, looking at the county yamen as he walked. On the screen wall, a monster like a kirin was painted on it. He turned around the screen wall. The platform in front of the hall was made of stone, which was wide and neat. The carved beams and painted pillars were exquisitely painted. A couplet hung on the red lacquer pillar: Deceiving others is like bullying the sky, don’t deceive yourself; betray the people, and you will betray the country, so how can you bear it?

A large plaque with golden characters "Xinqi County Zhengtang" was hung in the middle of the lobby. Under the plaque is the warm pavilion of the magistrate. The front of the pavilion is painted with a picture of the sea water facing the sun, and a golden plaque with "a clear mirror hanging high" was hung on it. The case was placed on the wooden platform in the warm pavilion. Four treasures of the study were placed on the table, quivering sounds, gavels, etc. There was a chair of the Grand Master behind the table. An old man in his fifties sat upright in his official uniform, staring at himself with a gloomy face. It was clearly the King of Hell. Two rows of yamen runners were wearing soap clothes and holding water and fire sticks in his hands, with ferocious faces, like the ghost messenger in the Hall of Hell, green flags, leather spears, tung sticks, blue fans, official yamen signs, and drums were listed behind, which looked gloomy and terrifying.

County Magistrate Chen was full of anger. When he saw a young man coming in swayingly, he bowed and did not kneel down. He shouted angrily: "He Madman, I think the court is a place for fun. Come on, let's take the five boards first." He reached out and touched the red sign in the signboard (one red sign is a five-stroke, and the green sign is taken).

"You can't beat him," Jiang Anyi shouted quickly: "Young scholars have a scholar's reputation and can't be punished according to the law without any faults." Jiang Anyi felt a little panicked when he saw the county master for the first time.

The magistrate Chen was stunned. He remembered that there were no such young scholars in the county. Did he be dazzled, misread the person, and asked hesitantly: "Who are you, where are you living, and what year's scholar?"

"The young actor Jiang Anyi, from Pingshan Town, is a scholar who has been newly promoted this year."
