The subordinate asked Lan Jue how to deal with the letter.

Lan Jue threw the letter into the drawer: "As you didn't see it."

The subordinate said: "But why is this letter on the door? Should I ask the Ministry of Justice..."

Lan Jue waved his hand: "Maybe it's a joke, so don't make a fuss. How could anyone who has the ability to insert letters into the department of Rites not understand whether an examiner is qualified to take the exam? This is not something that can be controlled by this reason. Our Ministry of Rites is just preparing for the scientific examination under the order. Even Lord Shangshu can't make such a big decision and decide to be qualified as a candidate."

Lan Hui slept in the study for two days. On the evening of the third day, Lan Jue returned home and handed him a brocade box: "This is a magic weapon that my father has prepared for you. If you wear it closely, you don't have to be afraid of that ghost."

Lan Hui opened it happily. In the brocade box was a wild boar carved with white jade, with two fangs on his back, and a red rope tied to it.

Lan Jue hung the wild boar on Lan Hui's neck, rubbed his head, and said earnestly: "The monster you provoked at your uncle's house is a tree monster. The wild boar is dedicated to arching the tree, and it is its nemesis."

When Lan Hui first saw the wild boar, he had suspicion in his expression. After hearing Lan Jue's words, he became happy and tossed and turned the wild boar several times, touching its fangs: "Dad, does eating more pork have the same effect?"

Lan Jue said solemnly: "It's not bad, but eating ordinary pork is useless. You have to eat wild boar meat. Listen to your aunt's words, you've been eating vegetarian for a few days. I'll ask the kitchen to make a dish of wild boar cloud leg sauce tonight. Eat a few more bites and stop picking your mouth."

Lan Hui nodded vigorously, left the front hall, and ran to the garden to have fun.

After the Dragon Boat Festival, Zhang Ping did not do business anymore. Mrs. Jin prepared a heavy gift to repay him. Zhang Ping refused part of it, but the rest could not be rejected, which was still enough for him to have no worries about food and clothing until the results were released. Chen Chou also benefited a little.

After the Jin family case, Zhang Ping's reputation was so great that even those noble men who claimed to be disgusted with him admitted that this person had some talent, but unfortunately his character was too bad. Such talent was given to a person with bad character, which is really a pity.

Chen Chou said angrily: "When Ma Lian sees people, he says sorry for your character and talent, and those grandchildren who pretend to be noble, they are actually shameful and still turn black. In fact, the most shameless person is them. They say that others are bad in character and do countless despicable things behind their backs. But ordinary people will not be like them, staring at others and doing the unethical things that slander people everywhere. Sooner or later, they will see that they bite their dogs. They will say that Ma Lian has copied all the names, and now they have been exposed to the money and writing books, and they are still shamelessly spreading. Why don't the god accept him!"

Zhang Ping got into the chicken coop without saying a word. He wanted to tell Chen Chou that he should not blame Ma Lian for this matter. It was Mr. Jin and Mrs. Jin who went to find Ma Lian and asked him to put his name on the name, not Ma Lian asked someone to write it on his behalf. Ma Lian agreed, which only means that he was greedy for money.

But Chen Chou saw that Ma Lian had always been particularly disliked. After saying that, Chen Chou might even jump even more, so Zhang Ping chose to remain silent and focused on checking on Aunt Fang. Is it the old black cat from Wang Bo's family or the Sanhua from Ma Cleniko's family who swallowed her chicken?

Chen Chong stomped his feet beside the chicken coop: "But, Ma Lian must hate you and me now. As soon as that happened, he forced him to admit that you wrote the play on his behalf. Even if he said it was your impostor everywhere, he would not know anything. I guess anyone with a discerning eye would not believe him, hehe~~"

The day of the imperial examination is coming in a blink of an eye. After the test questions are set according to the rules, Lan Jue and other officials who participated in the question setting and knew the questions must be locked up and not released until the exam is finished.

In this way, Lan Jue would not be able to return home for many days. He was worried about leaving Lan Hui alone in the mansion. Liu Tongyi, the eldest grandson of the Liu family, participated in this examination. In order to avoid suspicion, he could not take Lan Hui over. Lan Jue thought for a long time and spoke to ask Wang Yan.

Wang Yan agreed very readily, and Lan Jue immediately ordered someone to pack Lan Hui's luggage and personally took him to the royal mansion.

Lan Jue always felt that Lan Hui's temperament was a little depressed and depressed. He deliberately sent Lan Hui to the Wang family, hoping to make Lan Hui more vibrant. Although Wang Yan's son was beautiful, he was more lively.

Wang Yan's servant's mansion was in Rong'an Street, north of the city. Lan Jue sent Lan Hui to Wang Yan's mansion. As soon as he entered the inner courtyard, he saw several heads lying on the big tree branch in the courtyard, making faces at Lan Jue and Lan Hui, throwing stones.

The old tree is not thick, and its branches are trembling.

Wang Yan yelled at the tree with great anger and asked them to roll down to greet Uncle Lan. Several children hugged and climbed down the tree, twisted left and right to shout to see Uncle Lan. Wang Yan held the ears of two older children and said apologetically to Lan Jue: "My monkeys have always been unruly and I laughed."

Lan Jue glanced at the five children in front of him with a smile and said, "Brother Mo Wen, aren't you only three young men? The other two are..."

Wang Yan coughed, let go of one ear, pointed to the two shorter faces and said, "There are two more daughters."

Lan Hui turned red when she heard that there was a girl and stuttered and said hello. The two girls curled their lips, and the older one threw a small stone at him.

Wang Yan held his face and shouted, "Du, nonsense!" He shouted to the corridor again, "You wives don't take good care of your children, so I'll be embarrassed in front of outsiders!"

The sound of cards rubbing and laughing with the female family in the cold pavilion kept ringing in the corridor. The sound of cards paused, and a woman said leisurely: "The master said this, it seems that we are the one who usually stops the person who doesn't let the child care."

Wang Yan's face turned purple, Lan Jue quickly found a topic to change, and suddenly saw a boy standing on the veranda in the distance, wearing a light shirt, with a romantic look and unparalleled beauty. The boy smiled at Lan Jue from afar, bowed his hand to the wing room. Lan Jue returned the gift and said to Wang Yan: "It turns out that Brother Ling is also in the mansion. He saw him once a few years ago. He was still young at that time, but now he is so gorgeous."

Wang Yan said: "A Xuan's gangster looks more and more like my father the more he looks. How could he become so outstanding? This is Yun Yu, the second son of Grand Tutor Yun. A Xuan lives here in the past two days and asks him to come for tea."

Lan Jue suddenly realized: "It turns out that he is the second son of Taifu Yun. He is such a romantic young man. It seems that he will be able to enter the court in a short time. The younger generation is terrifying."

Lan Jue placed Lan Hui in Wang Yan's mansion and was locked up with confidence. The day of the exam finally came. Zhang Ping and Chen Chou got up early and came outside the test site, waiting in line to check their clothes, and draw the test department and test room number.

The test subjects participating in this test were selected by eleven counties and capital cities across the country, with a total of 360. The test questions were divided into four parts: Dian, Lun, Ya, and Xian. Every ninety test subjects tested the same test questions, and the test number and the test questions were arranged in association with the test questions. The nearby test questions were different to prevent cheating.

Chen Chou stood up on tiptoe and looked forward, breathing a sigh of relief: "Fortunately, we came early and could still draw questions. If we were ranked behind, we could only pick the rest of the people."

After checking clothes and waiting to draw the test room, there was a slight noise in front of me. Chen Chou pointed and looked at it again, laughing: "Hey, Brother Zhang, Ma Lian is lucky. He drew that ghost room, No. 14, and that test room was very evil. I heard that a candidate could not do the questions back then, and he was desperate to get inside. Those who entered would become scapegoats. He seemed to tell the examiner that he wanted to change it, so he could not change it for him."

Zhang Ping said: "The scapegoat is a rumor and cannot be trusted."

A tester who was in front of them turned around and smiled: "This brother is right. Since ghosts are invisible, how can people see them? The so-called ghosts are just delusions in people's hearts."

Chen Chou said: "You have never seen strange things, so you naturally don't believe them. But there are really evil things, maybe you will meet them one day."

Zhang Ping didn't say anything, and the tester smiled and said, "Brother, what he said makes sense."

He looks very young and has a simple and elegant dress. He has never seen Chen Chou in his life. Seeing that he is humble and intends to make friends with him, Chen Chou talks and talks, "I'm down Chen Chou, the one next to me is Zhang Ping. We are all from Xichuan County. Brother Taigui's surname?"

The tester's eyes lit up: "Is it Mr. Zhang who solved the murder case of Huang Daxian? I have admired him for a long time..."

Before he finished speaking, the person in front of him had already entered the venue. The tester smiled apologetically and turned to the test room to select the test questions. The examiner checked his famous post and only took out three test cards for him to select. Chen Chou was a little confused. When the tester entered the venue, Zhang Ping started to select the selection, muttered: "It is obvious that the four questions have not been selected, why only three were drawn for him?"
