West Hills.

Although it was a cold night, the people here no longer felt cold.

Hundreds of large tables are lined up in the shed, and coal stones are piled up everywhere, but most of the miners and their families are not so particular. The cages of food, with a unique aroma, are boiling and talking to each other In other words, the women are busy in the back kitchen, but the men are beaming with joy, talking about wages, and some people are making noise, should the Wang family invite a teacher to come?

With wages, there will be food to eat, clothes to wear, and more than that. The children have nothing to do all day long, so they must be taught a few words.

Everyone was talking about the excitement, and suddenly, half of the sky turned red. Although the gorgeous fireworks were far away from the West Mountain, the fire and silver flowers that fell from the sky caused the children to cheer.

Countless people looked in the direction of the capital. On this cold New Year's Eve night, these pairs of longing eyes reflected the light of hope.

Liu Xian, the accountant, stood up and said: "Come on, drink, toast to the two benefactors."

Speaking of benefactors, everyone stood up, and they were extremely grateful in their hearts. Without two benefactors, they would have frozen to death, and now they can sell their strength and have a bite to eat. In other words, it is tantamount to recreating the same kindness!

The wine was not good, it was yellow, and it was a little cloudy inside, and the unfiltered impurities could be seen with the naked eye, but this wine hit the throat, brought heat, and warmed the whole body.

Many people can't help but wipe their tears secretly when people are not paying attention. The ups and downs of life are normal. But like them, only after experiencing thousands of sufferings, can they meet the slightest stability. This kind of feeling is not comparable to ordinary people.

in the inn.

There were laughter and laughter outside, firecrackers were like thunder, and the flying fireworks burned half of the sky red.

But under this solitary lamp, a faint fire light reflected on Tang Bohu's face.

Tang Bohu limped to the copybook in front of Xuan's window. The copybook looked greasy and mottled, but it was full of pen, ink, paper and inkstone.

It's the time of Zi, and the new year, the twelfth year of Hongzhi, has begun.

The laughter outside was insulated from him, and he had no intention of admiring the fireworks blooming outside the window. After more than a month, his health improved and he was able to go to the ground. Some time ago, although a doctor came to see him on time, it was tantamount to He is under house arrest.

All outsiders are rejected.

And now... When he can walk on the ground, although the scars on his face are still there, it looks a little ridiculous, and it may take a month or two before he really heals.

But at this moment, Tang Yin had no other intentions to meet anyone.

Old friends from the past, friends in Nanzhili in the past, even... Cheng Minzheng, the right servant of the household department who was full of hope to visit at the beginning, is now also disheartened and has no intention of making friends.

He was originally a proud person, he was proud of his talents, and he was proud of the prince, if he was not forced by life, he would not go so far as to curry favor with others.

And in his fate, he met Fang Jifan.

He suffered great shame and humiliation.

He knew that there was a huge difference between himself and Fang Jifan, and the grievance and humiliation he had suffered could not be repaid.

Of course... there is another way.

That is the pilot test, not only the pilot test, but also several of Fang Jifan's disciples must be trampled under their feet, so as not to let this thief's plot succeed.

So he's sober.

As long as he is still active, he will pick up the book and read it without hesitation. He will no longer drink alcohol or visit friends, and he will avenge his shame.

"A gentleman has nothing to eat, nothing to eat, nothing to live in, peace to live, sensitive to things but cautious in his words, he has the way and righteousness, and he is eager to learn..."

In this small dark room, the sound of Lang Lang's reading came again.

Even if it is the fireworks blooming outside the window, laughter and laughter.

…………

The new year passed quickly, and after the Muxiu was over, the officials were still on duty in various ministries.

After half a month's rest, Emperor Hongzhi appeared much more energetic.

The festive atmosphere of the new year has not yet passed, Liu Jian, Li Dongyang, Xie Qian, Wang Aoren and others have an audience.

After the ceremony, Emperor Hongzhi smiled and said, "I don't like celebrating the Spring Festival. I don't like doing nothing, but I feel uncomfortable." Then, he said to the eunuch beside him, "Have you learned the method of accounting from the household department?"

The first thing to do at the beginning of the year is to ask about the calculation method, which shows His Majesty's concern for this matter.

Most of the ministers in the cabinet, including Wang Ao, knew about this matter. Many people were amazed, and they couldn't help being curious. What is the calculation method?

Li Dongyang said: "Your Majesty, I have already told Wang Wen'an..."

"Haven't gone to learn?" Emperor Hongzhi was a little annoyed, such a thing with twice the result with half the effort, did the Ministry of Households have to teach people to hire eight big sedan chairs before inviting them to learn?

Li Dongyang immediately understood His Majesty's intentions: "The old minister reminds me again."

"It's not a reminder!" Emperor Hongzhi said sternly: "This is a big matter, why use reminders, if you can't learn, then Wang Wen'an!"

Emperor Hongzhi was really annoyed, the matter was caused by Wang Wen'an, if he hadn't tore up the notebook, there would be so much trouble.

It's all right now, you tore up the notebook, you hurry to learn it, but in the end, this year is over, there is no movement at all, what is the use of such a person?

Li Dongyang smiled wryly in his heart,

Wang Wen'an is also short-tempered. He tore up the notebook at the beginning, and after a while, he couldn't bear to ask for advice. Li Dongyang didn't know what Wang Wen'an was thinking.

"I understand."

Emperor Hongzhi's expression eased just now, "What is the prince doing in Zhan Shifu?"

The eunuch said: "Yang Shi said that there is something to play today, so I asked someone to let the servants bring a sentence to His Majesty. His Royal Highness was studying 'fireworks' with Fang Jifan early this morning. Yang Shi said that it involved gunpowder. I'm afraid that His Highness will be hurt, so..."

"Oh..." Emperor Hongzhi said thoughtfully, "On New Year's Eve, that big firecracker, no, that big firework, was it Fang Jifan who set it off?"

"yes."

Emperor Hongzhi shook his head, then looked at Li Dongyang thoughtfully, and nodded: "Got it."

These three short words made Liu Jian and others feel strange. Why isn't His Majesty worried at all? Logically speaking, shouldn't people be reprimanded? But I can only say this lightly, I know, it is really a bit...

It was Li Dongyang, with a smile on his face, but he didn't make a sound, as if he had realized something.

Emperor Hongzhi cheered up: "The spring is about to begin. The time has not been changed. It is still scheduled for the ninth, 12th, and 15th day of February. The talent ceremony should not be underestimated. The examiner... let Li Qing's family come. "

Li Qing's family is naturally Li Dongyang.

This decision seems unexpected.

In the court, there are not many candidates who are qualified to be the chief examiner. Liu Jian is one, but he has already presided over the general examination, not to mention that as a scholar of the first auxiliary university, it is impossible to devote all his attention to the general examination.

As for Xie Qian, Xie Qian has a bit of a rough temper. Obviously, he was scheduled to be the examiner in the 15th year of Hongzhi, because Li Dongyang was a little older in terms of seniority.

On the other hand, Wang Ao was originally a popular candidate. Many people had expected that His Majesty first asked him to preside over the Shuntian Mansion Township Examination this time, in order to allow him to practice his skills, and then preside over this year's spring. After all, Wang Ao is the emperor's teacher and ascended the throne in Hongzhi After that, he was immediately transferred to the Ministry of Officials, which was a sign that he was going to soar into the sky. What he lacked now was qualifications. If he could preside over a meeting, then his resume would be perfect.

This time, Li Dongyang was hand-picked, but it was somewhat incomprehensible.

Even in the public, many scholars who came to the exam guessed that the chief examiner of this subject must be Wang Ao, and the most favorite guess of the scholars was the examiner, because the examiner was responsible for setting the questions, and each examiner had a different appetite. Each has their own preference for writing style, if they can know the examiner's temper in advance, the exam will be a little more sure.
