The best ring

When Luo Heming's family was in decline, he took the imperial examination for the second time. As a result, he failed again unexpectedly.

Luo Heming's false claims are gaining ground in Qingyuan County. Those who previously admired and admired him began to slander and ridicule him. He gradually changed from a well-known genius in Qingyuan County to a well-known genius in Qingyuan County. joke.

In the following years, Luo Heming would take part in every imperial examination, but every time he failed. In the past, some people who were not as knowledgeable and famous as him had already achieved fame, but he was still white. This made him in Qingyuan County. The situation is even more difficult.

The house leaked and it rained all night. Since last year, Luo Heming's wife became ill again. In order to treat his wife's illness, Luo Heming pawned the family's few belongings. His life became more and more difficult. At the same time, in order to take care of his wife who was seriously ill His wife, Luo Heming, was unable to devote himself wholeheartedly to studying. He who originally wanted to obtain fame gradually changed his mind.

He needed to find a job, a job that could support his family. Otherwise, relying on his mother alone to wash clothes for wealthy families would not be able to support him and his sick wife.

However, it is not easy to find a satisfactory job. Luo Heming has been studying since he was a child and rarely participates in manual labor. As a result, he cannot carry his shoulders or lift his hands. Even if he works hard, no one wants him.

As for using the knowledge he has accumulated over the years to find a job, it is also not easy. After all, he is just a white man, not even a scholar. There is really not much market in Qingyuan County. When he goes to find a job, he faces Mostly mocking and eye-rolling.

But this time, the notice Wu Fan had someone put up gave him hope, so as soon as he saw the notice, he came to the Wu Mansion to register. Even if the servants of the Wu Mansion asked him to lie down on the ground and write his name, he would still do it. He didn't refuse, because he had no other choice and he needed this job.

Luo Heming had failed too many times before, and he was extremely afraid of failure. Therefore, when Wu Fan asked him before, he would say that no matter what he did, as long as Wu Fan kept him, Luo Heming had given up in order to make money to supplement the family. He lost his self-esteem and the pride in his heart.

However, Luo Heming did not expect that Wu Fan would let him directly become the county magistrate. Although this was only Wu Fan's appointment and needed to be confirmed by His Majesty the Emperor, generally such candidates who were pushed hard by the county magistrate could not be selected. If there is an accident, His Majesty the Emperor will not refuse. Therefore, it can be said that he will be the county magistrate.

This appointment was a complete surprise for Luo Heming. He originally thought it would be good to get a low-level job, but now he was entrusted with an important task. This made Luo Heming feel extremely grateful to Wu Fan. Then, Wu Fan "Borrowing" him money made Luo Heming have the idea of ​​​​sending Wu Fan to pieces.

Luo Heming, who has been ridiculed and looked down upon everywhere for so many years, is now receiving such attention and care from Wu Fan. There are simply no words to express the gratitude in his heart.

In fact, Wu Fan really valued Luo Heming. The identification technique showed that Luo Heming was indeed a genius. Even in reality, he could be called a genius. In terms of reading, Wu Fan asked himself whether he was worse than Luo Heming. too far.

The reason why Luo Heming failed many times was not because of his lack of strength. There was actually a reason for this. Speaking of which, it was related to the former magistrate of Qingyuan County, Magistrate Guo, who had repeatedly opposed Wu Fan.

Luo Heming grew up as a young man and inevitably had arrogance in his heart. He looked down on Magistrate Guo, who was seeking fame and reputation. Under the care of others, he once wrote a poem to mock Magistrate Guo. Magistrate Guo did not take it to heart at that time, and even He exaggeratedly praised Luo Heming's talent, but he kept it in mind.

In addition, Luo Heming is not only good at reading, he is also quite proficient in calligraphy. His calligraphy level is very high. Many people once read his calligraphy works and praised him as the best calligrapher in Qingyuan County.

This naturally made Magistrate Guo dissatisfied. After all, Magistrate Guo has always had blind confidence in his calligraphy. When the Seventh Princess called his calligraphy works rubbish, he felt that the Seventh Princess would not appreciate it. , not to mention that others looked down on his calligraphy.

Therefore, although Luo Heming himself did not praise his calligraphy, County Magistrate Guo still had opinions on him.

Both of these incidents made Magistrate Guo quite dissatisfied with Luo Heming.

When taking part in the scientific examination for the first time, everyone else with connections went to visit Magistrate Guo, but Luo Heming did not go. He felt that with his own strength, it was easy to become a scholar, and he went to pay homage to him before the examination. Magistrate Guo somewhat wanted to go astray, but Luo Heming didn't even bother to do that.

Luo Heming's behavior once again made Magistrate Guo resentful. Magistrate Guo was not a generous person to begin with. Luo Heming made him hate him one after another. How could he make Luo Heming feel better?

Therefore, in the subsequent examinations, Magistrate Guo used his connections and power to make Luo Heming fail. This was a county examination after all. As the magistrate of Qingyuan County, Magistrate Guo still had great power and room for maneuver. Yes, it is not difficult for him to let someone fail.

Luo Heming just lost his reputation.

But he was not convinced, and when he took the imperial examination for the second time, he still did not visit Magistrate Guo, so he failed again.

Afterwards, his family fell into decline and his fame plummeted. When he wanted to visit County Magistrate Guo, he could not even see him. He went from being a genius known throughout the city to being a person who is now ignored by everyone.

After knowing Luo Heming's situation, Wu Fan felt quite sympathetic towards him. In this era, the status of literati was already high. In addition, Luo Heming had been famous since he was a child and was sought after by people. It was normal for him to be arrogant.

However, to be honest, although Wu Fan sympathized with Luo Heming, he would not like him too much. No one would like a subordinate who did not take him seriously and was arrogant.

And now Luo Heming's arrogance has been worn away, and he has become down-to-earth and pragmatic. This kind of Luo Heming is what Wu Fan likes and what he urgently needs.

"Speaking of which, I have to thank Lao Guo. If it weren't for him, Luo Heming would not have become what he is now. Moreover, it is estimated that he would have been taken away by the old emperor long ago, and it would not be my turn to use him." Wu Fan smiled and said to himself.

He didn't have a good relationship with the former Magistrate Guo, but he never thought that the latter would leave such a talent for him. If he could see him again in the future, Wu Fan would have to thank him.

However, he estimated that it would be impossible for him to see Magistrate Guo again.
