I'm writing novels in Liaozhai

"Really him?"

"Although this disciple doesn't dare to say for sure, but judging from various signs, it is probably this boy."

Pudu Cihang opened his eyes, and said coldly: "Then have you checked the details of this person?"

"I checked, this son is from Guobei County, Jinhua Prefecture."

Upon hearing this, Pudu Cihang couldn't help but frowned: "Guobei County?"

"Yes, the news is correct. This son also runs a study in Guobei County, called Xing Study."

"What about other aspects?"

"Back to Fazhang, this son is quite mysterious. He was originally a poor scholar, but for some reason he became famous all at once.

According to the information inquired by the disciples, in addition to being outstanding in mining, this son is also good at spells, and has assisted the local government many times to reduce coughs and catch ghosts. "

"Is there any birthday for him?"

"Yes, the disciple finally asked someone to find the materials for this student's exam and copied a copy."

It seems that this guy is quite capable of handling affairs, and he actually found out a lot about Gu Ming.

Purdue Cihang took the transcribed materials and looked at them for a while, then closed his eyes and counted.

After a while

Suddenly his face turned blue, and his forehead was dripping with fine sweat.

"Fazhang"

Seeing this, the black-robed man couldn't help but be taken aback.

"Damn, what is the origin of this son?"

Pudu Cihang opened his eyes, looking desperate.

"Ah? Fa Zhang, what's going on here?"

"There must be an expert guarding behind this son. I can't figure out his fate and origin, and I was almost backlashed by power."

Hearing this, the man in black robe was even more shocked.

After being stunned for a while, he couldn't help showing murderous intent in his eyes, he cupped his hands and said, "Fa Zhang, why don't disciples find a chance?"

"Don't act rashly. This kid is by no means an ordinary person. You must first find out his true background. In this way, you go to Guobei County and investigate carefully for me, including his childhood experience."

"Disciple obeys the decree of the law!"

"Go!"

"Yes, disciple farewell!"

The man in black robe bowed respectfully and then left the meditation room.

"Boy, who are you?"

Pudu Cihang muttered to himself with a gloomy expression on his face.

The night passed.

Gongyuan.

At dawn, all the candidates got new exam papers.

This is the last session: policy theory.

This exam is mainly to assess the candidates' understanding and opinions on current affairs, and to answer the questions in combination with theories of Confucian classics.

This is the focus of the examination, with a total of five questions.

As soon as he got the test paper, Gu Ming browsed it first as usual, then closed his eyes and meditated.

After writing the Three Character Classic yesterday, he was pleasantly surprised to find that he had undergone subtle changes, especially in terms of mood, and he felt a sense of sudden enlightenment.

As for strength, he has no way to test it now, but it is estimated that he has made a qualitative leap.

On the first day, not a single word was written.

The next day, Gu Ming didn't start writing until noon.

He was more cautious in answering the question this time. He had to fully consider the general environment of the dynasty and not be too unconventional, but also not fall into the cliché.

In short, you have to come up with some dry goods.

Gu Ming made full use of the knowledge and concepts of the past and present, and answered the questions in light of the general trend of the world today.

Three questions were answered that day.

Before noon on the second day, answer the last two questions.

In the afternoon, I checked it uniformly, slightly revised two of them, and re-transcribed them.

"It's time, all candidates stop writing immediately and leave the dormitory!"

With the loud shout of the examiner, the nine-day long torment officially ended.

Some people are downcast, some are sad and joyless, some are elated, some are mourning and sighing

"Okay, all the candidates will appear on the stage one by one, and the ranking will be announced in half a month. I wish you all high school!"

As soon as he came out, Ma Yun pushed through the crowd and rushed to Gu Ming's side, yelling, "Brother Gu, did you attract the bell for the second exam and those flying birds?"

"What did I attract? I'm not a fairy."

"What's the situation?"

Gu Ming spread his hands: "I'm curious too."

The candidates were not very clear about the phenomenon of the heavenly phenomenon, after all they dared not come out of the dormitory.

Just heard the bells and saw some birds.

As for the details, such as those flying birds that have been circling around Gu Ming's house, and the fact that butterflies and bees formed characters on the east wall of the Gongyuan, I don't know.

In fact, Gu Ming could more or less guess that the vision was related to him, but he just didn't want to be too high-profile.

"Is he that Gu Jieyuan from Jiangnan?"

"I heard he can catch ghosts?"

"It's just a rumor, don't take it too seriously"

"But his poems are indeed well written"

"The bell for the second exam really has something to do with him? I'm afraid it's a bit of a mystery"

"Regardless of whether it is suspended or not, since it can be appointed by the emperor, there must be something special about it."

Regardless of whether they knew each other or not, all the candidates whispered to Gu Ming's back.

"Brother Yun, how do you feel about the test this time?"

On the way, Gu Ming asked Ma Yun with a smile.

"Oh, to be honest, I don't know what to do, Brother Xu, what about you two, Brother Liu?"

Ma Yun couldn't help but ask Xu Jiaying and Liu Qiangxi again.

Xu Jiaying sighed: "It's hard to say resignation to fate!"

Liu Qiangxi smiled and said: "Never mind it, if you don't pass the exam, it's a big deal to come back next time, just to accumulate experience."

"Forget it, no matter whether you do well or not in the exam, the exam is over and it's time to relax."

"Yes, yes, but let's forget about today. When I return to the inn, I have to take a good bath and sleep well."

Ma Yun said generously: "Then tomorrow night, I will treat you!"

"Where?"

"Of course it's the Qinhuai River!"

The Qinhuai River is the most prosperous place in the capital after nightfall, and the river here exudes a faint fragrance of rouge.

In Gu Ming's previous life, there was a poem about the Qinhuai River that has been sung and sung through the ages: The smoke cage is cold, the water is moon cage, and the sand is caged, and the Qinhuai River is near the restaurant at night.The business woman doesn't know the hatred of the subjugated country, and she still sings the flowers in the backyard across the river.

When you arrive in the capital, it is a pity not to appreciate the customs of the Qinhuai River.

"Great, my brother has long wanted to go."

"Then it's settled!"

A group of people returned to the inn, went back to their rooms, took a shower, and slept.

After tossing around for ten days, everyone is physically and mentally exhausted, and they need to take a good rest

Chapter 192 She is so angry that she becomes a beauty!

On the second day, the lanterns came on.

A carriage stopped, and Gu Ming, Ma Yun, Xu Jiaying, and Liu Qiangxi jumped off the carriage one by one.

After a whole day of rest, the four of them had already regained their spirits, their clothes looked brand new, and their brows looked radiant.

After getting out of the car, Gu Ming couldn't help but look around.

Although it was already dark, it was never night by the Qinhuai River.

Along the river, there are row upon row of towers, pavilions and pavilions, brightly lit, and a bustling scene.

The river water is sparkling, refracting colorful and psychedelic light.

Some painted boats float on the water, swaying leisurely, and the sound of silk and bamboo can be faintly heard.

There are still many large-scale painting boats moored on the shore, like attics standing in the water. Strings of lanterns are hung on the boats, dim lights appear in the rooms, and occasionally there are silhouettes of dancing women.

Since ancient times, there have been many beautiful poems and legends of talented scholars and beauties on the banks of the Qinhuai River.

Compared with the West Lake, the beauty of the Qinhuai River lies in the night.

The reason is that it has a little more rouge fragrance.

"It's such a beautiful day, brother Gu, why don't you compose a poem to add to the fun?"

"Yes, yes, it's been a long time since I heard Brother Gu reciting poems, my little brother is all ears."

The hospitality is hard to give up, Gu Ming pondered for a while, and sang a song on the spot: "Pear blossoms are like snow grass, like smoke, and spring is on both sides of the Qinhuai River. The makeup buildings in the area are covered with water, and the pink shadows of every family are shining."

"Okay! Brother Gu is worthy of being recognized as a great talent in the south of the Yangtze River. If you don't have a talent, it's enough. A talent is amazing!"

Ma Yun couldn't help but applaud.

Gu Ming smiled modestly: "Brother Yun is too famous!"

"Where is it, Brother Gu's poetic talent is indeed rare, it is truly admirable!"

After a few words of politeness, Liu Qiangxi subconsciously glanced at Xu Jia and said, "Brother Xu, you are a little familiar with the capital, which one should we go to?"

Xu Jiaying said with a straight face, "Of course it's the Xichun Building!"

Xichun Building belongs to Jiaofang Division.

The Jiaofang Division is also affiliated with the Ministry of Rites.

At the beginning of its establishment, the Jiaofang Division made a special trip to serve the court.

For example, when the emperor hosted a banquet to entertain the ministers, he would let a group of musicians, kabuki, and maiko perform on stage to add to the fun.

Later, the Jiaofang Division gradually became a romantic place run by the imperial court.

The girls of Jiaofang Division are all talented and beautiful, with outstanding charm.

Most of them came from official families, and some of them voluntarily went to the Jiaofang Division because of the decline of their families and the difficulty of maintaining their livelihoods. In order not to be bullied by others.

Of course, the Jiaofang Division is a special place after all, and you can't just get in if you want to.

In addition to outstanding looks, you must also have extraordinary talents.

Some girls were forcibly sent here, such as the family members of some criminal officials who committed serious crimes.

Du Shiniang is a typical example. His father was originally an official of the court, but he was framed and sent to prison, which implicated the whole family.

In the end, the family members were killed, those who were distributed were distributed, and those who were sold were sold.

Of course, it doesn't mean that all officials' family members will be implicated if they break the law, it mainly depends on what crime they committed.
