Gu and Xiao first sent their three younger brothers to Tianxiang academy and private school, and then they went to the county government together.

The enrollment documents of Guozijian were indeed issued, and the quota came out, but it was not Xiao LIULANG.

"How could that be?" Gu Jiao asked.

"This..." the county master looked embarrassed. He looked at Xiao LIULANG and Gu Jiao awkwardly. "I don't know if I should say it or not."

"But you can say it." Xiao LIULANG said.

The county magistrate sighed.

Since the county held the children's test, there has never been a better student than Xiao LIULANG. Even if Xiao LIULANG fails in the hospital test, his total score still ranks first in the county.

Besides, he is a student of Tianxiang Academy. He is a direct disciple announced by President Li unilaterally. He is clean and has no blemish on his reputation. He can't get the quota.

The county master is also worried.

He was the first to write Xiao LIULANG's name, but who let him——

"I really can't say, you two just let me go. I'm just a small magistrate. I can't afford to offend those noble people!"

"Who did you give the quota to?" Gu Jiao asked.

County Master hesitated for a moment, or said: "a surname Feng examinee, called Fenglin."

Gu Jiao and Xiao LIULANG had a good look.

"Which Feng Lin?" Gu Jiao frowned and said, "is Feng Lin from Tianxiang academy?"

The county master was surprised and looked at the second person: "ah, yes! Do you know him? "

Gu Jiao turned to Xiao LIULANG and said, "how many Fenglin are there in your college?"

"Only one." Xiao LIULANG said.

Gu Jiao murmured: "this is strange. How can Feng Lin rank above you? No, it's not about grades. "

Xiao LIULANG said to the magistrate, "he is not local at all. He is from Songxian County. How can he get the local quota?"

"I said the same thing, but..." in the middle of his speech, the county master realized that he had almost let slip and quickly changed his words, "in a word, I can't help it! Xiao Xiucai, lady Xiao, you go back first. "

The county magistrate is really sorry for Xiao LIULANG. It's a pity that he didn't join a good family. Otherwise, his future can't be estimated?

"It should have nothing to do with Fenglin." Xiao LIULANG explained to Gu Jiao as he went out.

"Well, I know." Gu Jiao nodded.

Both of them are not easy to lose their senses. Maybe when others listen to the news, their first reaction is to doubt Feng Lin, but they both know Feng Lin's character. He won't stab Xiao LIULANG in the back.

And he can't do it, he doesn't have any power background.

It's clear that this matter is aimed at Xiao LIULANG. The other party wants to use Feng Lin to suppress Xiao LIULANG. It's reprehensible!

Gu Jiao said, "why don't we go to Fucheng and ask?"

"Oh, don't go! The document is issued from Fucheng! " Hearing that they were going to appeal, the county magistrate was very worried that he couldn't keep his black hat. He hurriedly chased him out and said, "to tell you the truth, that's a noble man in the capital. You didn't even go to Fucheng!"

"What noble man in the capital?" Gu Jiao knew that there was only one noble man in the capital who could not get along with Xiao LIULANG.

"A marquis." The county magistrate said that the person who came to deliver the documents accidentally let him know it was the Marquis, but he could not tell which Marquis he really killed!

"Marquis?" Gu Jiao murmured.

Just after the words, a carriage stopped at the gate of the county government.

Marquis Gu swaggered down and straightened his clothes. Then his eyes fell on Gu Jiao and Xiao LIULANG: "Yo? Is that you? It is destiny. It's not that I heard about the enrollment of Guozijian, so I came here to see if I have my own quota, right? Oh, let me guess. Is there no quota? Ha ha ha! Ha ha ha ha

Marquis Gu furnishes his waist and laughs.

"I need to communicate with him." Gu Jiao said to Xiao LIULANG and pulled the Marquis into the carriage.

Dong! Dong! Dong!

Bang! Bang! Bang!

"Ah --"

"Ah --"

"Ah --"

After a moment of chaos, marquis Gu collapsed in the corner of the carriage.

Gu Jiao grabbed his collar and said coldly, "change the quota for me!"

As soon as he saw Marquis Gu, the county magistrate rushed back to the county government office and found out the brocade box that Marquis Gu had sent earlier. By the time he took the box to the carriage, marquis Gu had been beaten out of his face.

He didn't want to ask Marquis Gu to lift the curtain and respectfully said: "Marquis, I'm afraid you can't let your subordinates do things. You're a little late. The number of supervisors in the Imperial College has been determined by others. You'd better take your things back. "

Marquis Gu has no strength to speak

Gu Jiao pauses, looking at Gu Hou ye, who is beaten into a sandbag by herself, and asks: "the quota is not your ghost?"

Marquis Gu was dying: "er... Er er?"

What the hell did I do?

Gu Jiao: Er, it's wrong.

Gu Jiao clapped her hands and went down to the carriage.

Marquis Gu originally intended to make trouble, but he didn't want Xiao LIULANG to go to the Imperial College. On the contrary, he wanted him to. Because only Xiao LIULANG has gone, can Gu Jiao go to the capital with her.

He asked Huang Zhong to give an order to the county magistrate overnight, and gave him a generous sealing fee to leave the quota to him.

Just now he laughed at Xiao LIULANG's lack of quota. He was confident that the quota was already in his hands. Although he wanted to give it to Xiao LIULANG, it would be nice for the girl to ask him for a few words!

What he didn't expect was that soon after Huang Zhong left, another nobleman's order arrived, and the Marquis's power was higher than that of Ding'an marquis.

The county master can only live up to Marquis Ding'an.

Of course, he won't say it. He just says that the Marquis of Ding'an is late.

Marquis Gu was wronged and looked up to the sky. Was he beaten for Mao again today?

On the way back, Gu Jiao didn't ask Xiao LIULANG why the Marquis of the capital would stare at him? Is he not going to the capital because of the Marquis?

If he wants to say it, she doesn't have to ask.

If he doesn't want to say it, it's no use asking.

Gu Jiao sent Xiao LIULANG to Tianxiang Academy. As soon as she left, Xiao LIULANG was stopped by a man.

Xiao LIULANG lightly turned around: "you again?"

The middle-aged man bows to Xiao LIULANG. Smiling, he said: "long time no see, young master still remember Liu."

Xiao LIULANG look cold way: "quota of things is your hands and feet?"

The middle-aged man laughed: "the young master is not willing to come back with us, so we have to do this. Feishui doesn't flow to the fields of outsiders. That young master Feng is a friend of the young master. It's better to take advantage of others than him. Of course, if the young master agrees to go back with me, I can change the quota now. "

Xiao LIULANG didn't care about him, so he turned around and left.

The middle-aged man said meaningfully, "don't you really want to study in Guozijian? That's where all the scholars in the world want to go. Moreover, the application documents will be submitted to the court tomorrow. The young master has only one night to consider. Once the document is sent out from the post station, the Marquis himself can't get it back. "

Xiao LIULANG hesitated: "as I said, I'm not a Xiao family, and I don't know you. I won't go back to Xiao's house with you. You will die early. "

The middle-aged man sighed: "Alas, why? If you don't take a good road, you have to go to the single wooden bridge. It's not wise, young master. "

Xiao LIULANG said, "let me go back. Write down the names of Feng Lin and me together."

"The young master is joking. I worked hard to get this quota." If Guozijian were so good, there would not be so many candidates.

Xiao LIULANG looked back at him: "isn't there a local examination? Since you are so powerful, it's better to change my score directly to number one. I know yuan, and I can enter the Imperial College without local recommendation. "

Jieyuan in different places can be directly admitted to the Imperial College, which is the rule of Zhaoguo.

The middle-aged man laughed: "we can't get involved in the local examination. There is only one place. I advise the young master not to waste his time. Finally, I would like to remind the young master that there will be no room to turn around after tomorrow morning. "

"In this way, you can't put your hand in the local examination." Xiao LIULANG coldly hooked the corner of his lips and walked away with disdain.

Steward Liu is a little confused. He feels his chin and takes a cool breath. Did he miss anything?

In September, the results of the local examination came out, and the post station speedily sent the newly released B-list to all parts of the country.

The county master got up before dawn. Instead of waiting in the yamen, he went directly to the post station. When he got the second list, his hands trembled.

He can't wait to open it, and there are five words in the first column on the far right - Jieyuan, Xiao LIULANG!

The county master cried on the spot and sat on the ground, hugging his head and crying bitterly: "Wuwuwuwu... Wuwuwuwu..."

One side of the captors were scared: "county master, you... What's the matter with you?"

The county master burst into tears: "I'm so happy... The county under my rule has finally come up with a solution!"

It's not easy to get the first place in the local examination. The provincial capital has a lot of talents. After all, the family background and teachers of the provincial candidates are there.

The reason why so many people come to Tianxiang academy is that Tianxiang academy is the Academy with the most teachers besides the Provincial Academy.

There are 50 candidates in the list, of which 10 are candidates of Tianxiang college, which is a terrible proportion.

But not all of them are local students.

Feng Lin and Lin Chengye also won.

Feng Lin ranks seventeen. He is a student in Songxian County.

Lin Chengye ranks forty-five. He is a student in the provincial capital.

The county master counted, and Xiao LIULANG was the only student in the local middle school.

One for one, others are Jieyuan, one for ten!

No rebuttal!

Catching up and scratching the head, "actually Xiao Xiucai... Uh, no, it's called Yuan Jie now. Xiao Jie yuan registered residence in the county because he was married to Gu Jia girl."

Otherwise he is still a stranger!

County Master: --

County Master: "I don't care, I don't care! His registered residence is here. He is the first Jieyuan in my term of office! "

The county master himself came to Xiao LIULANG's home to report his good news. The whole village knew that Xiao LIULANG had become the master of the whole family and was the first Jieyuan.

"Is my Dashun high school over?" The Zhou family came to Gujiao's house to ask the county magistrate.

County master light ground looked at her one eye: "did not have Gu Dashun's name."

"Why not?" Zhou does not believe, "Xiao LIULANG has passed the exam, how can my family Dashun fail?"

The county magistrate said, "I don't like to hear that. Xiao Jieyuan has a bigger surplus than your family?"

In Zhou's impression, Gu Dashun has always been the best. Xiao LIULANG is lame and poor. Even if he goes to the Academy, he is the last to the last. If such a person can win, why can't he win?

"Are you mistaken?" As soon as Zhou turned his head, he saw Xiao LIULANG coming back from the academy and said, "LIULANG! You told your aunt that Dashun was also elected

Xiao LIULANG said to Zhou: "I didn't see Gu Dashun in the local examination."

A bolt from the blue——

The family sold the dowry of their mother-in-law and daughter-in-law and collected 20 taels of silver. They asked Gu Changshui to take Gu Dashun to the local examination. But on the way, they were cheated out of the silver.

The Zhou family fainted on the spot and was carried home by the villagers.

When Xiao Jingkong came out of the private school, he heard Gu Xiaoshun say that his bad brother-in-law got the first place in the exam. He said he didn't believe it. He firmly believed that someone else was wrong!

"That's right." Gu Xiaoshun scratched his head and said, "the whole book is a sensation."

Small clearance insists that seeing is believing.

Gu Xiaoshun had to take him and Gu Yan to the county government.

He was very small, and the list was very high. He looked up at his head for a long time, and then said, "I want to see the official documents of the Yamen!"

Captors are silly: little doll, do you still know the official documents?

Knowing that he was Xiao Jieyuan's younger brother, the master of Yamen really showed him the official documents.

Xiaojingkong looked at it carefully for three times, determined that it was not forged, and that it was not wrong. Then he nodded with a serious face: "it's really the first in the exam.
