“In order to keep the poison God in a deep sleep, the old man came up with an idea twenty years ago. He wanted to steal something and use it to suppress the poison God so that he could keep it in a deep sleep for generations.

so he left the southern border and there was no news of him since. Not long after, the vital Gu he left in the tribe withered, and I found out that he was dead.

“What was it that was stolen?” Leena hugged the wooden box, her ocean-blue eyes shining with curiosity.

Granny Tiangang shook her head and patted the back of Lina’s hand. Her voice was kind as she said,”Granny is old and can’t stand the backlash of the heavenly secrets.”

Why else would they say that heaven’s secrets could not be revealed?

last night, I saw a change in fate. That thing is about to be born. Lina, you’re also involved. Granny Tiangang stared at her with a burning gaze.

“Me?”

Lina blinked her blue eyes. She couldn’t understand how an ordinary child like her could appear in granny Tiangang’s ‘story’.

go to the capital. Your cultivation is enough, but you lack experience. You can take this opportunity to go to the human world. Granny Tiangang added, ”

“I’ve discussed this with your father, and he has agreed.”

To the capital ... leena looked at the wooden box in her hand and found that she wasn’t too resistant to such things. The first people she thought of were number three, number one, and Daoist priest Golden Lotus.

At noon, the warm sun hung in the sky and the Xu residence was filled with laughter.

The banquet was set up in the courtyard. The people of the Xu family sat at the tables on the left, while the colleagues and old friends of Xu Pingzhi and Xu Qi ‘an sat at the tables on the right.

The county Magistrate of Changle County and the fast hands of the constables were also among them. Of course, Lu Qing, the chief of constables of the government office, was also there.

It was a pity that Li Yuchun, song tingfeng, and the others were in Yunzhou and could not attend the banquet.

Xu Pingzhi and Xu Qi. an toasted one table after another. Xu Qi. an was just going through the motions, but when he heard everyone congratulating him and calling him ” Lord Viscount ” ... He suddenly fell in love with this feeling.

At County Magistrate Zhu’s table, the fat County Magistrate sighed with emotion,”This official has a niece who is 28 years old and quite handsome. I wanted to marry her to ningyan, but it seems like I can’t do that now.”

County Magistrate Zhu’s daughter was already married. Otherwise, she would barely be worthy of Xu Qi ‘an. His niece, on the other hand, did not have a high enough status.

“Ningyan is now a Viscount. Only the daughters of wealthy families are worthy of him,” Constable Wang continued with a smile.

Everyone laughed.

When Lu Qing, who was sitting at the next table, heard this, he felt very upset and depressed.

Originally, with her identity as the Chief of Detectives of the magistrate’s office, it was more than enough to have a night watchman. Furthermore, they were of the same profession, a match made in heaven.

However, after Xu Qi ‘an was conferred the title of nobility, he could not marry a Female Constable as his wife. It would be inappropriate.

The banquet didn’t end until 1.30 p.m. Xu Qi ‘an and second uncle Xu were in charge of sending the guests off, while the aunt directed the servants to clean up the mess.

At 11:30 pm, Xu Erlang returned with his servants and maids.

As expected of a mother, Auntie instructed the cook to heat up a table of leftovers from lunch for Erlang.

“Erlang, have a good rest after eating. You have to get up early tomorrow to go to the examination hall.” His aunt attentively picked up some food for her son.

It wasn’t mealtime yet, but Xu Erlang had to get up early the next day, so he had to eat early and rest early. If he didn’t sleep well, it would affect his exam tomorrow.

Xu Qi ‘an was drinking tea on the side. He suddenly said, “”Erlang, what will be tested in the general examination?”

While eating, Xu Erlang gave a simple introduction, “”Policy questions, classics, poetry.”

After a pause, he continued. from the previous emperor, poetry was removed from the Imperial examinations. In the 11th year of the yuanjing reign, Wang zhenwen entered the cabinet. Under his influence, poetry returned to the Imperial examinations.

During the two hundred years of the Confucian orthodoxy struggle, the poetry world had weakened to the point where it had to withdraw from the stage of the imperial examination.

“If big brother takes part in the imperial examination, he can at least revive the poetry world,” Xu Erlang commented objectively. He took a sip of wine and turned to his father, saying, ”

“Since the end of last year, eldest brother’s reputation has risen in the poetry world, and father has also gradually become famous.”

Xu Pingzhi, who was sitting on Xu linging’s lap and playing with his daughter, was stunned for a moment. Then, he revealed a happy expression and laughed.

in fact. it’s just that eldest brother is naturally gifted. I didn’t raise him much. Scholars like him just like to make. big fuss out of nothing ... How did they praise me?”

“I’m complimenting you for not being a son,” Xu niannian said with a smile.

“???”

Xu Pingzhi slammed the table in anger. this is outrageous! What right do they have to say that?!

Xu Erlang looked at his brother and laughed, “”The more poems eldest brother writes, the more infamy father will have. Who knows, in the future, your name will go down in history.”

That night, Xu Pingzhi was so worried that he couldn’t sleep.

he’s not dead yet, ” his aunt scolded. you’re already thinking about his reputation a few hundred years later. You’re worrying for nothing.

“A woman’s opinion.” Xu Pingzhi snorted and said worriedly,”Second lang has the qualifications to be the first assistant, and first lang will also be able to leave a mark in history. When the later generations evaluated them, they would always praise them. But when it comes to me, it’s only four words:I won’t be a son.”

Qianqian mumbled,’that’ll at least leave his name in history ...’ By the way, let me tell you something. What if Erlang is sent to other places in the future? can you think of a way to make him stay in the capital?”

“Don’t even think about it. He’s a student of Yun Lu Academy, so it’s inevitable for him to be sent out. I hope it’s not too far away.” Xu Pingzhi said helplessly.

The students of Yun Lu Academy basically had no chance of being in the center of power in the capital’s officialdom. Most of them would be assigned to various states and places. Even if they stayed in the capital, they would only be small officials.

“Why don’t you go talk to ningyan? he’s the night watchman and knows the princess. He’ll definitely have a way.” Her aunt was sitting on the bed with her legs bent. Under the candlelight, her beautiful eyebrows were slightly furrowed.

“This is a matter of the Ministry of official personnel affairs. What does it have to do with the night watchman?” Xu Pingzhi lowered his voice.

“The night watchman monitors the officials and is most hated by the Civil officials. Ning Yan’s appearance will only backfire.”

Auntie laid on the bed and hugged the pillow, frowning.

..........

“Dong Dong Dong ...”

...

Xu niannian, who was wearing a white shirt and preparing to go to bed, heard a knock on the door. He opened the door and saw Xu Qi ‘an standing outside.

“What is big brother looking for me for?”

Xu Qi ‘an looked at the handsome young man with red lips and white teeth and grinned.”Come and guess the questions.”

[ PS: in the next chapter, I’ll have to look up information on the spring examination. Although it’s not focused on the general examination, I still have to know what I’m doing. ]

Seeing that I’m so serious, how about I vote a few months? if not, I can show you guys.

He would update first and then correct later. He would continue to type the next chapter and correct the wrong words later.
