Chapter 65
In April, the willow catkins dance all over the sky.
Bathed in the spring breeze of Jiangnan, Zhang Mu leaned comfortably on the carriage, enjoying the warm and warm sunshine and feeling the beautiful time in the Ming Dynasty.
I have to say that the spring breeze in Jiangnan is indeed like the hand of my mother. In Shanxi, where Zhang Mu was in his previous life, the spring breeze in April was the hand of Aunt Zhou. The strong wind blew the coal face and made her face hurt. Sometimes when she encountered a sandstorm, she would hide in the house and recite the spell silently: "Elder Sun, please take your magical powers."
Yan Su hugged his broken water flow and leaned against the car window and dozed. Zhang Mu looked at her fair skin. There was a blush on her charming cheeks, as if it could be broken. Under her slender eyelashes, Yichen and Yixi's phoenix eyes were now closed tightly, with a slightly raised nose, as quiet as a water lily. Zhang Mu suddenly had the urge to go up and kiss her.
"This tomboy looks a little cute when she is asleep." Zhang Mu thought secretly, his eyes fell on the drooling of his lips, sighing that it was a bit disgusting.
He sat cross-legged in the car, closed his eyes tightly and meditated. With his breath and breathing, his chest was slightly undulating, saying that he was practicing internal skills, but Zhang Mu also felt that he was sleeping. Sure enough, a slight snoring sound came from his throat.
There was a bag beside Zhang Mu, filled with red envelopes. Today is a great day to recognize his son. How could he not prepare some wedding money?
Looking out from the car window, it turns out that Chen Ying and the young men of bear were waiting anxiously on the bulletin board outside the government gate. Today is the day to issue the exam. How can Tong Sheng, the person who took the exam, not worry?
At this time, when the government office door opened, Professor Wen came out with a few yamen servants, and a boiling sound immediately started.
Yan Li opened his eyes immediately, and Yan Su also wiped the drooling from his mouth and asked, "Is the ranking issued?"
"You are here to wait, there will be a good show." After that, Zhang Mu got off the carriage with his bags and headed straight towards the bulletin board.
At this moment, the announcement board was surrounded by three layers inside and three layers outside, and was airtight. As soon as Zhang Mu passed by, the sharp-eyed Chen Ying saw him and said, "Young Master Zhang, why are you so anxious? Are you guilty?"
"Brother Chen Ying, can you still count the bets that day?" Zhang Mu asked with a smile.
"What? Are you scared?" Chen Ying looked at Zhang Mu in a squint manner and asked with a bit of provocation.
"No, I'm afraid you won't admit it." Zhang Mu smiled faintly.
"Don't worry, multiple sons, this is a happy thing, I won't refuse to admit it." Chen Ying smiled disdainfully.
"I've released the rankings, I've released the rankings." At this moment, a commotion spread in front of me.
The yamen brushed the paste made from flour on the bulletin board, and a big red list was slowly posted on it.
After the Yamashiro took a broom to smooth the list, everyone looked at the head of the case first.
As a result, the position reads: "In the 23rd year of Hongwu in Jinhua Prefecture, the Gengwu Prefecture Examination was held, and the case was Zhang Muzhi, Yongkang County."
When Chen Ying saw this, her face turned pale, and Chen Ying's friends were also shocked.
Only Zhang Mu was calm and composed, carrying his hands on his back, and a meaningful smile slowly cracked the corners of his mouth.
Some of the other children were disappointed, some were sad, and they were excited and rushed to tell each other. They are really life-wide, and they are hard to describe in one word.
However, Chen Ying and his group of people were feeling heavier than visiting the grave at this moment. They seemed to have become petrified, and they stood there and did not dare to move because Zhang Mu was behind them.
This time it was embarrassing. Chen Ying felt her cheeks burning and she was a little dizzy. Not only did she not win the case, but she also asked Zhang Mu to win the kid. How could this end?
"Brother Chen Ying, what should I do?" Chen Ying's friend asked.
"You fucking ask me, who will I go?" Chen Ying said with a sad face.
"Why don't we run away?" another friend whispered.
"No, it's even more embarrassing to run away. This kid must have cheated. Otherwise, he would be able to pass the exam?" Chen Ying said gritting his teeth.
"Yes, he must have cheated." Suddenly, my friend said, "I said," Chen Ying became even more angry when he heard it. He turned around fiercely and turned towards Zhang Mu.
"You, you must have cheated, I don't accept it." Chen Ying shouted at the top of her throat.
"You want to pay a debt? But it doesn't matter, that's not Professor Wen? If you don't believe it, go and ask, I'm still going to recognize my son." Zhang Mu laughed.
Chen Ying ran towards Professor Wen, bowed first, then stood up and said, "Sir, how could this Mu be the head of the case?"
Professor Wen knew that this happened, otherwise he would have left long ago. He said with a stern face: "Why can't he win? The head of the case was drafted by the prefect and a few teachers. How can there be a falsehood? If you don't believe it, if this is his test paper. I copied it, please take a look."
Chen Ying took it, opened it and looked at it again, and took it back again. Chen Ying's friends hurriedly took it and circulated it.
They are also scholars, some are students, and some are children. When they saw Zhang Mu's writings, they were all shocked.
These three sutras are examples of the sutras, and they are simply templates of classics. The brushwork is profound and the words are sophisticated. Even if they take down their heads and pile them together, they may not be able to write such beautiful articles.
"Brother Chen Ying, a real man, you must be brave and take responsibility. I just asked you if you still count the bets? You patted your chest and said you wouldn't admit it. It's a bit too late to regret it now. Look, I even brought a red envelope." Zhang Mu took the bag and looked at Chen Ying and smiled.
Chen Ying and his group looked at each other. After such a fuss, many people who didn't know the truth watched, were preparing to watch the fun.
At this moment, Chen Ying wanted to find a crack in the ground and crawl in, so she hurriedly looked at Professor Wen with a prayer look.
As a result, Professor Wen pretended not to see it, carrying his hands on his back, an old face covered with wrinkles, like a dry orange peel, looked up at the sky forty-five corners, twisting his beard lightly, bright and sad.
Chen Ying only realized at this moment. He underestimated Zhang Mu. Zhang Mu's talent was far above him. His scheming and insight were definitely not comparable to him. He immediately slapped himself, knelt on the ground with a thud, kowtowed three times, and then shouted: "Father"
"What did you say? I didn't hear it clearly. Please call me and listen again," Zhang Mu smiled.
"You..., you're bullying too much." When Chen Ying said this, tears flashed in her eyes, and her nose felt sore with grievance. Tears fell down immediately, and she got up and ran away.
"Hey, don't leave. I've prepared a meeting gift. You don't want it?" Zhang Mu shouted immediately.
Suddenly, there was a burst of laughter in the crowd, and the other friends disappeared in the crowd like a swarm. Zhang Mu looked at their backs and said to himself: "Work me? When I was in the officialdom, you were still surrounded by diapers!"
Professor Wen looked at Zhang Mu and said to himself: "This child is not only knowledgeable but also meticulous. In the future, he is afraid he is also the number one person. It's not simple." After that, he left with his hands on his back, intending to teach Chen Ying a good lesson so that he knows what it means to have mountains outside the mountain and people outside.
