Locked: God is the matchmaker, neither you nor I can escape

Hua Murong was not surprised at all that the news of her return home leaked out so early. Anyway, their goal had been achieved, so nothing else mattered.

After breakfast, the four of them agreed to go back to the academy to visit the teachers and thank them for their teachings.

The news of the four people returning to the academy attracted the attention of many students, and many of them wanted to go over and ask them for advice. Of course, the students still knew the rules, and guidance would definitely come after they had visited the teacher, and they understood the process.

This year, not only four of them passed the exam, five more people also passed the imperial examination and became Jinshi. They came back a few days earlier than Hua Murong and the other three. They had already returned to the academy to visit the teacher the day before yesterday.

Three of the five people stayed in the capital to work. Of course, their official positions were not high. Rather than being sent to other places, they would rather choose to look for opportunities for promotion in the capital.

Moreover, their family still has some connections in the capital, and the way has already been paved for them, so they don't have to worry too much.

The dean and the teachers were talking about this matter, and the teacher asked, "Are you all employed in the capital?"

Hua Murong smiled apologetically: "Sorry, Master, we have agreed to keep our official positions confidential for the time being."

"Oh? Why?" The teacher was simply curious and had no other thoughts.

“Because it will be beyond everyone’s expectations, and everyone will know after we take office.”

The master thought that after his official position was exposed, someone would take the opportunity to establish connections with him. Hua Murong was okay, after all, not everyone dared to provoke people from the Hua Mansion, and everyone could see how difficult it was to establish connections with the Hua Mansion.

The other three did not have such powerful families, especially the student Fei Yuning. Even the teachers who had lived in the academy for a long time had heard a little about his family's affairs.

Thinking about the friendship between the four of them, the Master stroked his beard, realized something, smiled at Hua Murong, and admired her even more.

I couldn't help but be amazed in my heart: I didn't expect that the Hua family, which made its fortune in martial arts, could actually cultivate a top scholar. This can be called a true "all-round talent in literature and martial arts" in the history of Zhao State.

Other people's talents in both literature and martial arts may be just for show or boasting, but Hua Murong relied on his own strength to become the top scorer in liberal arts. He himself came from a family of martial arts, and as the eldest son, he was like a young master, so it was impossible for him not to know martial arts.

The more he thought about it, the happier the Master became, and an unconcealable smile of pride appeared on his face.

Afterwards, the four maintained a gentle attitude towards the students from the academy who came to ask for advice, patiently gave them guidance, and shared their experiences in the examination hall.

According to Hua Zhuangyuan himself, the reason why he was able to pass the imperial examination and become the top scholar was that, in addition to reading a lot, the most important thing was that he knew how to farm. He also lived in the countryside for a period of time, experienced the daily life of ordinary people, stood in their shoes, thought what they thought, and did what they did.

As the saying goes, "Water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize it." Therefore, he adhered to the idea of ​​putting the people first and being loyal to the emperor and the country, took every step steadily, and strived to be an official who shared the emperor's worries and did practical things for the people.

As the news spread, it became known that the secret of Hua Murong's success in passing the imperial examination was because he learned how to farm. After all, he had a brother-in-law who was very good at farming.

Such a bizarre reason was actually recognized by most people, because Hua Murong's brother-in-law, a country man, grew a new variety of high-yield grain and was commended by the emperor. It must be his brother-in-law who taught him the secret.

The evidence is that Hua Murong actually wrote down the method of making bean sprouts in the imperial examination. Isn’t this the secret?

Otherwise, who would have thought that tiny soybeans can be eaten as vegetables?
