The sky was gray, and the rain fell from last night. At this time, it turned sharp and gradually became turbulent.

In the thick building, in the dark aisle, candlelight illuminates the two figures.

"Xiaohe, how is my father feeling today?" This is Ye Zifan who was summoned by his father.

"Second Master, the old man is in a good mood and has little thoughts. It is for the children of the clan."

"That's good, I understand..."

The same hint as before, Ye Zifan responded with a bit bitterness.

This woman has a bit transcendent status and will not reveal too much, but she is the head of a second house and has her own information channels, so she roughly knows about this.

In the three palace examinations, I was born in the same Jinshi as a Jinshi, and only one step away from understanding the mysterious principles, and I can truly achieve success by pointing out the Dao and Dharma barriers.

Such adults are only one line away from achieving immortality, although this line is the difference between heaven and earth.

However, according to the customs of the court, the top scorer, the second scorer, and Tanhua personally received the title of Taoist priest and had the opportunity to become the disciples of the three Taoist lords.

For the second-tier Jinshi, you can choose the Emperor or other immortal sect to study.

Although the third list is basically not successful in immortality, they are all backbone of the imperial officials. In the future, they will have a chance to be appointed as the county magistrate. They will only go through the motions and wait until the old Mingfu will be in office and will be promoted to a regular business immediately.

Such a person, whose father was once a juren, might be able to maintain his face, but how could he be so mere scholar?

After a hard plan, it would be empty.

"It's just a poem, I'm really unwilling to accept it." Ye Zifan stepped on his foot and thought in his heart.

Ye Qing dedicated to his yard, a gust of wind blew on his face, and the autumn rain made people cold. He squinted his eyes and looked at it. The entire Yezhuang was covered in the autumn rain, hazy, and he couldn't help but say: "What an autumn rain!"

Follow the road to the west, then to the north, and passed through the corridor, but there was not much rain.

When I arrived at a main hall, I saw the main hall quiet and the window papers in the two rows of wing rooms were covered tightly, and I could hear the sound of people talking slightly.

Not far from the corridor, I was planted with Yiwenlan. This branch was divided into two pieces, stretching out three feet, with buds and autumn fragrance. When you smell it, you feel more energetic. You reach out to caress and think in your heart.

In ancient times, the imperial examinations of the Four Confucian Books and Five Classics lasted for thousands of years, and the identities of scholars were different. However, in this world, I read the Taoist scriptures, which are not only knowledge, but can also be transformed into practical power.

A Jinshi, even if he is a Jinshi, is a talent needed by a great Taoist sect and is a civil servant. Even aristocratic families have to consider it and will not offend them at will.

I worked hard and prepared, but it was not as good as others' words. This feeling was not good. I think my uncle also had a deep understanding of it?

Thinking of this, Ye Qing pressed the copper cup in his arms and stopped his desire to continue making wishes. Although he had no law and could not see luck, this time he made a wish.

Moreover, although I was qualified to try the boy, I couldn't hide this trick. I was afraid that I would have evil my uncle and grandfather, so I had to be careful.

"I can't master luck now, but I have clear goals and can be a prophet, and one day I will surpass these geniuses."

No longer watching, no one stopped me when I returned to my yard.

When I arrived at the yard, it was still as usual, with smoke coming from the chimney behind the house, and it seemed that Qianqian was burning the fire inside.

"Qianqian, I'm back." Ye Qing closed the yard gate and walked into the room.

Qianqian was cooking porridge and wanted to bring him some simple food. When she smelled his voice, her eyes suddenly turned red. She ran out in two steps and threw herself into Ye Qing's arms.

"Young Master..."

Ye Qing was shocked and was still embarrassed. The girl's body was getting better and better, and the feeling of firmness was pressed into her arms, which made him feel a little strange.

"Don't be excited!" Ye Qing patted the girl's back and said. In his two lives, he had never seen her in such a weak mood, but then he suddenly realized.

No matter how she grew up later, she is now just a sixteen-year-old girl, restricted by age and knowledge.

Under his comfort, Qianqian woke up quickly, but she couldn't take off her body. She blushed and changed the subject: "Young Master, aren't you going to be confined to three months?"

"I wrote a poem in a deserted temple that day, and happened to be noticed by the county magistrate. I admired my talent and summoned me. This is your young master and I am extraordinary!"

Qianqian agreed with this, and couldn't help but nodded and asked again: "Where is the confinement order?"

Ye Qing heard this and smiled coldly: "Actually, the confinement order has not been officially abolished, but no one dares to ban me in the school again. As long as you don't leave the mansion, nothing will happen."

"Oh..." Qianqian was a little confused. Although she was familiar with the Ye Mansion, she rarely went out and had no idea about the position of county magistrate. She just said that she was a high-ranking official and asked in a low voice: "What should I do if you take the exam for the student in the child?"

"It's okay, with this person talking, I see who dares to stop him?" Ye Qing paused and continued: "But now there are still ten days before the boy's test. I should be at ease to understand the meaning of the scriptures and wait until that day is the best strategy!"

Seeing that Ye Qing had a certain plan, Qianqian put down her mind and quietly leaned in his arms.

"Hey, are you not worried at all?" Ye Qing pretended to be dissatisfied.

"Worried, but the young master has not disappointed Qianqian with what he promised!"

"That's right." Ye Qing was silent, looking at the lower eyes, revealing a hint of tenderness.

Building outside the building

The father and son sat opposite each other, Ye Zifan looked melancholy, looking at the window paper that was blown by the wind, and after a while, he listened to Ye Mengqiu asking: "Have Cheng Yi prepared for this boy's trial?"

"In this regard, there is a special clan's academic treasury. My son only counted it yesterday, and there are still 137,851 taels. Every bill is recorded. Even if it is one or two cents outside the account, no one can use it without you!" Ye Zifan replied.

"You are in charge of this silver, I feel relieved!" Ye Mengqiu sighed, looking into the distance, and said, "This autumn rain is so cool. After this rain, the weather will warm up briefly. You can pay for the boy's trial!"

"yes!"

"Also, it's cold, and the tribe also needs to patrol the poor and out-of-cooked families in the tribe, they have to keep their clothes warm and some food."

"The clan has a population of 1,700 people, but it is not enough to have no food. All food is distributed. The family of the clan has children (siders), and there are still poor and food is broken. But I have already set up a tent, and I have prepared 100 cold clothes and 700 stones of food."

"You did a good job, it's important for the clan members, but the family should not ignore the birth of children. Although it is suppressed by the clan gods, it is not a problem to damage the good deeds. The family's luck is accumulated bit by bit and cannot be wasted at will."

"yes!"

Now there was nothing to say, and there was a silence between the father and son. Seeing this, Ye Mengqiu sighed in his heart and said, "You have been defeated and you have won a scholar. You have no way to continue. You have taken care of your tribe affairs. I see it in my eyes. You are fair and serious in your work. Even if you have little selfishness, it is normal for human beings. I see your grievances in my heart."

As soon as he said this, even though he was a decades old, he felt that the heart was warm. Ye Zifan couldn't help it anymore, so he lowered his body and said, "Father... if you say this, your son will be completely wronged."

At the end of the day, his voice was trembling, he paused, and asked again: "That's how it happened? When my son returns, he deletes Sheng'er's name!"

"This doesn't have to... the adult's words must be given face. Qing'er wants to take the boy exam, so we can't stop him, so we will report together."

Speaking of this, Ye Mengqiu smiled coldly: "You have forgotten that this quota is not fixed. The emperor reforms, and all scholars in the world can refer to it. However, the luck of each tribe is limited. In order to concentrate on a few children, the list of this tribe gradually exists."

"And the government should select based on actual conditions and have a balanced consideration. It is not possible to single-class children, even if they are excellent, so there is a procedure to accept this list in advance."

Ye Zifan was stunned and suddenly realized something.

The Taoist Dharma shows the saints. The purpose of the imperial examination is to select a group of people with wisdom, nature and fortune to practice Taoism. What is competing is not only literary talent, but also the fate of each person. If you want to register, no one will stop you. Just pay a ten-month handling fee. This is the will of Emperor Chi.

But whether you are taken or not depends on your fate or luck.

It is in this context that the family has to take the elite route and condense the family's limited resources or luck on the best children.

"Get my gold pen and red paper!" Ye Mengqiu waved his hand and said.

"Yes!" Xiaohe had a wink and responded to her orders outside. After a moment, a piece of red paper, accompanied by a golden pen, respectfully handed it up.

Ye Mengqiu paused, stared at the candle light seedlings, calmed down, and then raised his pen to the bottom. After a moment, four names were listed on it, and the last name was Ye Qing.

Three circles were drawn on the first, second and third names, and then Ye Qing's name only changed one circle, then stopped pen, looked at it, then nodded with satisfaction, and said, "Just follow this and report to the county, do you understand?"

"I understand!" Ye Zifan responded quickly, holding the red paper, and respectfully retreated.

After leaving the building, I went to my own yard to the west. At this time, the rain was clear and the children of several families stood and bowed far away. They would usually return the gifts seriously. At this time, they were in a good mood. They nodded to them with a smile, and then entered.

"Husband!" As soon as she entered, she saw Ye Gu step forward and asked anxiously, and it seemed that she had also received the news.

"Don't worry, you look carefully." It was all old husband and wife, so Ye Zifan didn't hesitate and showed her the red paper. Ye Gu saw his son's name and sighed: "Wuliang Daozun!"

After calming down, he continued to look at the list. Then he saw the fourth place below with Ye Qing's name. After a moment of being stunned, he asked carefully: "Didn't it mean that there are only three places in the Ye clan?"

"Three are common practices. The county magistrate spoke, and four were not bad." Seeing his wife still a little frowning, Ye Zifan lit some paper: "Look carefully."

Ye Gu looked carefully and saw that the circles were different, and he realized something: "Is this..."

"Hmph, it's the luck of the clan this time. My father said that the adult's words must be given face. Qing'er wants to take the boy exam, so we can't stop him. The luck of this clan cannot be given no. However, since Ye Qing forced to take the exam and had high self-superiority, the score of one-tenth of that clan this time must be enough."

Speaking of this, Ye Zifan sneered.

Ye Qing is so unwise. He is so evil to his father!
