69, Everyday Life of a Farmer's Imperial Examination (14)

Zhang Daoyuan was not crazy. Not only was he not crazy, he was also very sober.

He continued to wait until Master Zhang returned home before greeting him, saying that two of his classmates had come to Beijing to take the exam together. As a local of Beijing (although he had not been back for a long time), he wanted to do his best to be a good host and hoped that his father would allow him to live outside.

Zhang Daoyuan also calmly accepted the news that Master Zhang told him that the marriage was over and Miss Liu was destined to be with his second brother.

He also expressed his blessings in a particularly considerate way.

Master Zhang was very satisfied with his eldest son's performance. He felt that he had followed his grandparents back to his hometown and then grew up. He approved Zhang Daoyuan to live outside very smoothly.

After Zhang Daoyuan returned, he laughed at Duan Qingen for almost half an incense stick of time.

When he mentioned his stepmother's smug expression, he laughed.

When he mentioned his second brother's words that wanted to provoke him, he laughed again.

Fortunately, the soundproofing was good and did not disturb Ma Ruxiao who was reading.

Duan Qingen waited until he finished laughing before patting his friend on the shoulder: "Laughing is okay, but don't get involved in this matter in the future. The only way is to prepare for the imperial examination with peace of mind."

Zhang Daoyuan wiped away the tears from his laughter and nodded in agreement: "Qingen, don't worry, I know my limits. The exam is coming soon, so I will naturally not be distracted by other things."

Duan Qingen looked at his friend with a face full of relief as he went to study.

Then he turned around and started to do little tricks himself.

First, he arranged an encounter.

A few street hooligans set up a trap and jumped on Liu Wulang.

As a result, several people jumped out and rescued Liu Wulang.

In order to avoid the trap gang chasing him, Liu Wulang, who was disheveled and dishevelled, was forced to go out on the street.

In full view of the public, the mustache on his mouth and the hat on his head were pulled off.

Just now he looked like a man, but in the blink of an eye, he turned into a pretty good-looking young lady.

The people watching the excitement on the street were shocked.

Afterwards, although Liu Wulang was rescued by the people sent by the general, this incident also caused many rumors.

Now almost the entire capital knows that a woman disguised as a man was set up by a honey trap.

Although each family regarded this incident as a joke, and the Liu family never thought that the woman was their daughter, it was enough to make this matter ferment.

After doing the little trick, Duan Qingen continued to prepare for the exam.

Before the exam, candidates generally consciously divide into two categories.

Academic masters and academic losers.

Duan Qingen and Zhang Daoyuan are naturally academic masters.

Duan Qingen, needless to say, has always been photographic and quick-witted.

As for Zhang Daoyuan, he was originally a genius, and he was in high spirits when he was happy. Recently, his thoughts have become clearer, and reading books is like playing.

The only ordinary person, Ma Ruxiao, entered into a crazy study.

Every time he felt too tired to hold on, he would take out the letter his fiancée had given him, touch it carefully, and then read it carefully. After reading it, he would be able to devote himself to the enthusiastic preparation for the exam again.

Fortunately, Duan Qingen and Zhang Daoyuan were with him every time he marked the key points. With the help of the two academic masters, his knowledge could still improve by leaps and bounds.

The tense and exciting preparation time always passed quickly.

When the inn in Beijing was almost full, the imperial examination began.

The three of them entered the venue together and came out together.

The content of the imperial examination was ignored. After coming out, they compared the answers. Ma Ruxiao performed exceptionally well, while Duan Qingen and Zhang Daoyuan answered normally.

In general, among the candidates who were "I am so nervous whether I can pass the exam", the three of them were considered to be sure to win.

Zhang Daoyuan has been particularly diligent recently, and he goes home to pay respects to his parents almost every day.

Mr. Zhang felt more and more that his son was still very filial. In addition, when he thought that he was a scholar at a young age and now he was very likely to pass the imperial examination, he liked Zhang Daoyuan more and more.

Mrs. Zhang and Zhang Daoxing believed that Zhang Daoyuan had learned his lesson and knew to put on a filial appearance to make Mr. Zhang favor him. They hated him very much, but they had no other choice but to hate him.

It was a sunny day when the successful candidates were announced.

Many years later, Zhang Daoyuan still remembered this day.

It was not because he and his two friends passed the imperial examination, nor because they were all in the first class.

It was because on this day, the woman who almost became his wife fell out! ! ! !

The thing was, after Liu Xinrong was forced to take off her disguise on the street, she stayed at home for a while.

She had discussed with the general before and expressed her desire to marry the general, and the general who had always said that he only regarded her as a friend also agreed immediately.

And he looked very happy.

The two of them had a cordial exchange in the brothel. Although they did not do anything more serious, they still kissed and touched each other.

After this incident, the general felt very sorry for her who was forced to stay at home, and said that he would soon deal with the second son of the Zhang family.

So under Liu Xinrong's expectation, the second son of the Zhang family drank too much aphrodisiac when he went to the brothel and became impotent.

Moreover, in order to prevent him from marrying Liu Xinrong without telling her about this, the general also bribed a brothel girl and spread the news all over the street.

Although the Zhang family has not come to cancel the engagement yet, the cancellation of the engagement is definitely a foregone conclusion, it is just a matter of time.

Having solved the stumbling block of Zhang Daoxing, Liu Xinrong was happy.

When she was happy, she naturally wanted to go out and meet her lover.

As a result, I was unlucky when I went out.

Last time she performed a man-turned-woman show on the street, and there were countless people watching, but she didn't have a long memory. She knew clearly that her appearance was seen by so many people, but she still wore a hat and a mustache. Go out and play with swagger.

Then in the brothel, the prostitute recognized her and asked her, "Isn't this the same woman who disguised herself as a man on the street last time?"

This prostitute also drank too much, and in full view of everyone, he forcibly took off Liu Xinrong's disguise.

Then, someone in the crowd shouted: "Isn't this the fifth young lady?"

This person didn't say whose young lady it was, but just by saying "Fifth Young Lady", this was enough to make Liu Xinrong panic and want to run away.

The scene was in chaos. The people arranged by the general beside Liu Xinrong chopped and injured someone in order to protect her from leaving smoothly. As a result, the matter was brought directly to the government.

The people in the government also knew that they wanted to protect the reputation of their female relatives, so they did not make any publicity and only quietly invited Master Liu.

Master Liu almost fainted.

The good girl he always thought was disguised as a man and went to a brothel. According to the confession of the client who was captured, Liu Xinrong actually hugged two brothel girls to have fun, looking like she was enjoying it.

The key is, no one knows where the person who called out the fifth lady is.

I don’t know if he really knows Liu Xinrong, and I don’t know if he will tell others about it.

Liu Da was so popular that he almost strangled Liu Xinrong with a rope.

He really did this, but was stopped by the people arranged by the general beside Liu Xinrong.

After that, the Liu family quietly concealed the matter, and the general's mansion also had a concubine added quietly.

This concubine has no surname and is said to have no father or mother, but the general dotes on her very much.

At the same time, the Zhang family, who had people in the government, also learned the whole story.

Zhang Daoxing, who was lying in bed for recuperation, almost went crazy.

It happened that at this time, Zhang Daoyuan, who had passed the Jinshi examination, came to visit him like a good brother.

"Don't worry, it's better for her to die suddenly than for you to marry a woman with a beard who also visits brothels, right?"

Zhang Daoxing: "..."

"Second brother, why don't you say anything? Am I wrong? In fact, this is the marriage your mother has asked for for you. No matter how uncomfortable you are, don't show such an expression. People who don't know think you are interested in your father. What's wrong with mother?"

Zhang Daoxing: "..."

"By the way, I heard that Miss Liu's previous husbands who were engaged to her met with unexpected events. I don't know if she didn't like men, so she did it on purpose... Second brother, don't get me wrong, I'm not saying that you're not good. It’s because of Miss Liu.”

"Second brother? Someone is here. Second brother has fainted. Go and call the doctor quickly."

When Zhang Daoyuan was "sad" for his younger brother, the list of winners from the capital was also rushed to the county.

The county magistrate was holding his three golden pies and was so happy that he almost fainted:

"Quick! Quick! Go and notify the families of these three Jinshis!"

Oh my god! !

He is so lucky too!

These are three big golden pies! ! ! !
