Quick Wear: Male Match Ignore

The harvest was very good, and the harvest was very good.

This high-yield grain gift package will definitely make the prince's position more stable.

A few days later, Lin Zixuan followed the address left by the prince to a house in the capital. The family was not close to his home and was located in a remote area.

The entrance was a tightly closed wooden door, and the red paint on the wooden door had fallen off a little, which looked very old.

And there were no two stone lions at the door like other people in the capital.

The overall feeling was very plain.

"Dong Dong Dong"

"Dong Dong Dong"

Lin Zixuan walked to the door and knocked for a long time before a woman with white hair opened the door.

"Sir, my master is not in good health and is recuperating at home. It is not convenient for him to see guests. Please go back."

The old woman refused skillfully.

"Please inform the old lady that a friend introduced me here. I am here to find the owner of this courtyard. This is a token given to me by that friend. Please inform the owner of this house."

Lin Zixuan took out the jade pendant token and handed it to the old woman with both hands.

The old woman looked at the young man in front of her. He was not dressed gorgeously, but very decent, like a scholar.

"Sir, please wait a moment."

After hesitating for a moment, the old woman still took the jade pendant, glanced at it casually, and didn't see anything, so she turned around and closed the door and took the jade pendant in.

After a while, the old woman opened the door again, her expression was much more friendly and kind, and she respectfully invited him in.

"Sir, please come in with me."

Walking a small path, I arrived at a book house full of the smell of ink.

There was an old man in a gray robe in the room.

The old man held a book in his hand and looked up at Lin Zixuan. His expression did not change at all, and he was still as calm as ever.

"Your Highness the Crown Prince told me about your situation. I can help you. You have a teacher now, so we don't have to be master and apprentice."

"Recite the essay you wrote for the provincial examination. I want to see your foundation."

The old man looked at him intently.

Lin Zixuan said it was a piece of cake. Photographic memory is just a basic exercise.

He sat down and began to grind ink and write. After an hour, he put down the paper and pen, and handed it to the old man after the ink dried.

"The article is very good. I think it will get a good ranking in the imperial examination."

The old man looked at him in surprise. It was a bit beyond his expectations. He didn't expect that a student of a Juren teacher could write such a good article.

The disciple is better than the master.

The old man sighed slightly.

In the days that followed, Lin Zixuan came to the old man's house from time to time to let the old man guide his articles.

It turned out that the old man was named Zhou Ji, who had served as the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue. Later, he resigned due to old age and planned to spend the rest of his life in this house.

Zhou Ji saw that although Lin Zixuan was born in a peasant family, she was handsome, tactful, and only fifteen years old, and was a rare genius.

So he came up with the idea of ​​introducing his granddaughter.

One day, only Lin Zixuan and Zhou Ji were at home, and they heard someone knocking on the door.

"Zixuan, go open the door and see who it is?"

Zhou Ji did not even raise his head, still immersed in the book.

"Okay, Mr. Zhou."

Lin Zixuan got up and opened the door. When he opened it, he saw a girl wearing a lotus-colored skirt and a graceful figure.

"Miss, what do you want to see Mr. Zhou for?"

The girl looked at him curiously.

"Are you a student studying at my grandfather's house?"

"I dare not call myself Mr. Zhou's student. I have been studying here for a while because of Mr. Zhou's kindness."

It was a pity for Zhou Ji to meet such a talented young man. As long as he was carefully carved, he would become a beautiful jade, but he had already become his apprentice.

In this era, a person only has one teacher, and the relationship between master and apprentice is even closer than that between father and son.

He could only let Lin Zixuan call him Mr. Zhou.

Lin Zixuan led the woman into the courtyard and closed the door.

"An An, why are you here today?"

When Zhou Ji saw the visitor, his eyebrows and eyes were all smiling, and his tone was much more intimate.

"Grandfather, you insist on living alone in this remote house, so I can only come here to find you."

"Mid-Autumn Festival is coming soon. This is the osmanthus cake specially made by the cook. I brought some for you to try."

The woman looked at Zhou Ji with a sweet smile.

"It's a rare opportunity to come here, let's eat together, Zixuan, come over too."

The woman paused slightly, looking a little embarrassed.

But she still listened to Zhou Ji's words and sat aside.

An hour later.

"

Zixuan, please send An An out."

Zhou Ji glanced at Lin Zixuan.

"Yes, Mr. Zhou. Miss An An, please follow me."

After Lin Zixuan sent Zhou An An away.

"What do you think of my granddaughter?"

Zhou Ji looked at the book and asked casually.

"Miss An An is intelligent and kind-hearted, with extraordinary temperament. "

Lin Zixuan could tell that Zhou Ji wanted to bring the two together, but he didn't object. In this world, he couldn't live alone for the rest of his life.

In March of the following year, the imperial examination was held as scheduled.

During the time, the crown prince and the prince occasionally came to Zhou Ji's house to talk to Lin Zixuan.

After three days and three nights of examinations, Lin Zixuan was in good spirits.

The next day, Lin Zixuan wrote down the answers to the imperial examinations and showed them to Zhou Ji.

After reading them, Zhou Ji seemed to sigh, and then spoke with satisfaction.

"It's no problem for your article to be on the list. The specific ranking depends on the examiner's preference, but I think it will be in the top ten. "

Lin Zixuan heaved a sigh of relief when he heard this.

Zhou Ji was a great scholar of the time and had served as the chief examiner of the imperial examination. If he said there was no problem, then there was basically no need to worry.

Half a month later, the day of the announcement of the results.

Lin Zixuan had already checked the results through the system and did not crowd with everyone to check.

He was resting in his own courtyard, and the team of people announcing the good news passed by.

Lin Yi was now a housekeeper in his house. When he heard that his master had taken the first place in the examination, he hurriedly took fifty taels of silver and gave it to the person announcing the good news.

The person announcing the good news thought to himself that he was worthy of being the first place in this imperial examination, and he was generous.

He put away the silver and turned around and happily went to several other families to announce the good news.

"It seems that we have to prepare for the palace examination."

"Lin Yi, go tell Mr. Zhou the good news."

Lin Zixuan ordered Lin Yi.

"Yes, Master."

"Don't call me Master, call me Master from now on. "

Lin Zixuan thought about it carefully and asked Lin Yi to change the address.

"Yes, sir." Lin Yi bowed and went to inform.

After the team announcing the good news loudly announced, everyone on the street knew that this family had passed the imperial examination and was the first in this examination.

The people on the street were still wondering why this family was so peaceful, without lights and decorations, without firecrackers, but only silence.

If they hadn't seen someone coming out, they would have thought that no one lived there.

It was really strange.
