The Fuzhou Prefecture Office, the General Secretary’s Office, the Salt Road Office, and the Drum Tower in the center of the capital.

It was only a thousand steps from the governor's office to the government office, so the news was the fastest. At this moment, the current prefect, Li Yinglan, was sitting in the hall.

Li Yinglan is from Dongguan, Guangdong. She was a Jinshi in the 44th year of Jiajing. She has been promoted to prefect for more than ten years since she entered the officialdom. Now it is the third day of the first and third day of the government examination. The case will be reported tomorrow.

Thousands of papers in the Hefu were pressed on the case, and it was impossible for Li Yinglan to finish all of them alone, so he invited a few visitors from other provinces who knew how to read the articles to mark the papers for him.

Li Yinglan wasted half of his life in his career. After a long time of mistress level, the palace examination was smooth. He felt that the examiners he met during the mistress level were allowed to be judged by the guest, and he could not recognize the beads, which led to his disappointment in the imperial examination. Therefore, he invited these guest students and were all well-educated. It was obvious that it was fine to read the articles of the mansion.

But even so, Li Yinglan was still worried and stared at the hall in person, fearing that these visitors would not watch carefully, so she missed Yingcai.

After two days and one night, the guests ordered 500 of the thousands of papers in the mansion examination. These 500 papers were the first qualified papers. After two and three games, Li Yinglan would select another 100 of them and finally serve as the mansion examination ink paper.

Li Yinglan was already halfway through her face, and her face looked quite happy. Among them, there were several articles of talented men who were circled three times by him. In his eyes, these articles of talented men were not only in the provincial examination, but also in the imperial examination.

Just as Li Yinglan was reading the paper, his confidant Master, Master Mi, rushed over in three steps in two steps. When he saw Li Yinglan, he kept saying: "Dongweng is very happy, is it really a great joy?"

"Why are you happy?"

Although Li Yinglan was strange, she was still very calm on her face, showing the stability that a prefect should have, but the next moment she heard the news, his stability was gone.

"What, Sanyuan Ju? Are you really a scholar in this mansion?" Li Yinglan said in disbelief.

"It was Dongweng, and it was Lin Yanchao, the provincial examination in the fourth year of Wanli."

"It turned out to be him," Li Yinglan immediately got up from the rattan chair, put on a black hat and said, "So quickly prepare the sedan chair, our mansion is going to Jieyuandi."

Li Yinglan thought that he had given up a top scholar under his rule, which was a merit of culture and education. In the future, the Ministry of Personnel will definitely have extra points, not to mention that he was the third grade. This is really a great fortune.

Li Yinglan was about to go out with a happy face.

"Wait for a moment, Dongweng." Master Mi said.

“How?”

Master Mi said, "Dongweng, someone will send you the news. I don't have to worry about congratulations to Lin Mansion at this moment. Dongweng has other important things at this moment."

"What's the matter?"

“The icing thing on the cake.”

After hearing this, Li Yinglan sat on the chair again, frowned and thought for a while and asked, "Master, what is the icing on the cake?"

Master Mi whispered: "Dongweng doesn't know anything. I've found out that this cousin of the new top scorer is the candidate of the imperial examination."

"You mean two happy things are coming?" Li Yinglan's eyes lit up.

Master Mi lowered his head and said, "Dong Weng Yingming."

Li Yinglan said in a spirit: "What is the name of the new top scorer?"

"Climbing Yingfang Lane, Lin Yanshou."

Li Yinglan immediately said to the following guest: "Hurry up, let's take out the Lin Yanshou paper, and I will ask him to be the Cheng paper."

"Yes." All the guests learned that the prefect wanted to add icing on the cake. Yes, the two brothers passed the imperial examination and the first prize in the first place. They were really happy!

At present, these people are looking for the 500-fold papers.

"Have you not found it yet?" Li Yinglan's expression was a little unfair.

Several Mugu said: "Dongweng, it may not be among these five hundred volumes."

Li Yinglan slammed the table and said to these guests: "You guys almost made a big joke to our mansion. You all claim to be well-read poetry and books, and you can't even read the papers. I wonder how many of the remains were left to be killed by you and others!"

Seeing the magistrate furious, the guests knelt down and kowtowed, saying repeatedly: "Please forgive me for my crimes, forgive me for my crimes."

Master Mi also advised: "Dongweng, calm down, calm down."

"I haven't found the test paper yet, and I will do it again in the future." Li Yinglan shook her sleeves heavily.

Several mu Gu said yes quickly, and then went to Luojuan to search for it. However, Li Yinglan was still angry and walked around in front of the desk with her hands.

A moment later, a muggu said excitedly: "Dongweng, found it, found it!"

"Hurry, submit it to this mansion!" Li Yinglan sat back on the case.

The Muke presented the ink scroll found, and Li Yinglan picked up the scroll and read it...

A moment later, Li Yinglan asked Master Mi: "The new top scorer's cousin is really Lin Yanshou? Can't you make a mistake?"

"The book is written as a person from Houguan County, who is currently living in Dengyingfang Lane, and the list is the same. There is no possibility of any mistakes." Mr. Mi took the paper and looked at it, and said nothing.

Li Yinglan sighed and said to the following guests: "Yes, I blame you for your mistakes."

Several of the Guardians were all very likely to be amnesty.

Li Yinglan couldn't help but say, "The same brother, one person is three-yuan, but the other person is so idiot, how can people believe it?"

A murmured came forward and said, "Dongweng, the nine sons of Long gave birth to each other, let alone cousins?"

Li Yinglan sighed: "It is difficult for me to choose him as five hundred, let alone pass the imperial examination. Wouldn't it be a sting to tell me about it?"

Another Muke said: "Dongweng, please think twice about the new top scorer!"

After hearing this, Li Yinglan thought to herself, forget it, forget it, just take Lin Yanshou in a low voice. He picked up the red pen from the desk, and when he was about to hook the circle, he suspended his wrist and stopped in the air. He threw the pen and sighed: "I really can't do this!"

"Dongweng, maybe it's impossible to make a conclusion so early." Master Mi said at this time.

"What do you say? You can't win him if you want me to win him. I don't want to be an official for half of my life, and my reputation will be ruined." Li Yinglan is also a good official with persistence.

Master Mi smiled and said, "I will not let Dongweng force me, but when I first started to write, I felt that this person's writing was absurd, but when I read it again and looked carefully, it had a different meaning."

Li Yinglan was stunned, stared at Master Mi and asked, "Master Mi, are you talking from the heart?"

Master Mi said solemnly: "Dongweng, it's not true. This person's articles are not in line with the crowd. It is inevitable that people will abandon him at first glance. If you don't look carefully, you will be able to make a square and round. Only because you don't charm the public can you make your own family!"

After hearing what Master Mi said, several Muguqi burst into tears. These articles were all blown away by you! Why don’t you go to heaven?

Li Yinglan also took the article and read it again. After a while, he said: "Fortunately, Master reminded me, otherwise I would not be able to see the wonderfulness of this article, and it is not without merit!"
