At this time, someone had already sent over the exam questions and the Four Treasures in the study room. Yan Wuzhan wanted to test this person on the spot.
"Go to the table at the back and do it. Whether or not you can change your life depends on whether or not you are truly talented."
Yan Wuzhan pointed to an empty table behind them. Then, he poured a cup of tea for Dongfang Ning as if there was no one around.
"Why would Ning'er be so interested in him?"
"Don't you think it's strange to see that he's not over 20, but he has a mother who's 60. How old is his mother?"
"..." "I really don't know what's on your mind all day …"
"You don't think it's strange, Ye Mo did a lot of bad things, but it's as if I don't know about Ye Family. I've looked through the items they offered a few years ago, as well as their actions over the years, but I couldn't find any signs of rebellion. This Ye Mo and Ye Yun seem to have appeared out of thin air …"
"You suspect that something happened to the Ye Family a long time ago?"
"I have to ask Xiang Canghai, but unfortunately, they are very good at running, so we can't even find their shadow. He obviously followed Lu Sicong, but he couldn't find anyone. And Xiang Yinrong, can you say she knows where she went?"
"What does that have to do with this kid?"
Yan Wuzhan was dissatisfied. Her thoughts early in the morning were all on this person. His life was very pitiful, but she was a living person standing by her side and she didn't even look at her …
"I guess his origins aren't simple, but he doesn't know it himself. I have to ask his mother …"
"..." Go ask someone thousands of miles away? "
"That might not be the case. There must be a reason for him to become a government official. Generally, these kinds of people are indifferent to fame and fortune. However, he chose to take the test despite his mother walking away. It's really hard to understand!"
At this time, the rankings had already been released outside. The crowd had become crowded, some were cheering, some were crying, and the scene was spectacular …
"Looks like we need to set up examination halls everywhere. Not to mention the number of people from all four nations as a single entity, it would be much more convenient for them to come here to take the exam and waste their time and money. Isn't it more convenient for them to choose the people with the best results from all different places to send to the capital?"
"Ning'er, these people all passed the hometown examination. They all passed the provincial exams and chose the talents that were chosen in the end."
Dongfang Ning had been trembling a little recently. She didn't know if it was due to the pregnancy and she liked to guess everything. She always felt that there was a different story behind it. She really didn't know if this change was good or bad.
"Honored nobles, your student has finished!"
At this moment, the man handed over the paper he had just written.
"Yo, this calligraphy piece isn't bad, Lu Chengzong?"
"Your surname is Lu?"
"Yes, my surname is Lu." Isn't this nonsense? Wasn't his name written on the test paper? Why would he even ask such a question?
"Do you know martial arts?"
"I can. I am born with great strength, but I only use it to cut firewood for money to support my family. I do not specialize in martial arts!"
"Your aunt and uncle treated you well, and you never fought back?"
"They are seniors after all. As juniors, how could they dare to do something so disrespectful?"
People have to be reasonable. Regardless of whether the other party is a parent or relative, royal family or the people, everyone is equal and that's the truth. Could it be that your uncle wants you to bury your mother so she won't waste her food?
"…"
"Students, teach ~"
"Sit down and eat something. Don't be nervous, you've done a good job on this question. I heard that the Lu guy knows how to raise Gu. I wonder if your mother knows about it?"
Lu Chengzong didn't know what she wanted to ask, so he decided to tell her everything:
"I don't know what Gu students are, but my mother can't read. Ever since I was young, she had planted a type of grass every day for me to bathe in. This is probably the reason why I was born with this divine strength."
"Is there any grass that can change a person's appearance, or change a person's genes... No, it just changes a person's aura? "
"This... "My mother grew hundreds of medicinal herbs, but my student didn't recognize any of them, so I was unable to answer."
"It's an honest man. What kind of official would you like Yan Wuzhan to be? What do you want to be? The most important thing is what do you want to do for the locals?"
"To tell you the truth, the local officials are also surnamed Lu, and our mountain is mostly planted with grass, one of which is called 'Vanilla'. As long as I absorb more of it, it will make people hallucinate and give up on work, so if I can become an official and become a rank higher than him, I will definitely waste this evil thing!
"I think that my mother gave me a medicinal bath when I was young, and I was afraid that I would be infected by this fragrance as well." I think that my mother gave me a medicinal bath when I was young, and that I was afraid that I would be infected as well.
"Since everyone knows that it's harmful, why didn't they report it?"
"We have to walk from the mountain to the official road for four days. Although everyone looks strong, they are actually very weak and sick, but after absorbing the herb, they will be full of energy. Each of them can kill a tiger, so everyone can only treat it as immortal grass and not poison.
"All these years, I've carefully observed everyone in the village and discovered that men usually only live to be 50 before dying. The women who absorb less of it can live longer …"
"You also plant this kind of grass in your house?"
"Every year, a portion of the official tax has to be paid."
"I don't have such a rule."
"My lord, this is the official of the village who is as big as the sky!"
"Do you know who these things were handed over to?"
"This is yet to be traced."
"This kind of grass has a high yield. How many people are there in your village? Is it just that your village uses it to pay taxes, or is it the same in other villages?"
"Only our village is like this, the entire village has six to seven hundred people. Mother said that we are an underworld village that doesn't interact with the outside world, and the world doesn't know of such a place. If it weren't for the fact that Uncle and Aunt were to bully and bully us, I wouldn't even think of going to the capital to take the exam!"
"Then no one wants to move to another village or other place?"
Three years ago, there was no county or official in our village, and we were surrounded by a dense forest so we couldn't walk out of that place. It wasn't until after the heavy rain did we see a further road, and then the government sent people to search for the village, and they appointed some of the village's most respected people as village officials. From time to time, there were even people who came up to talk about the news outside, which was why we were in contact with the outside world …
The more Yan Wuzhan heard, the more surprised he was. He didn't expect Dongfang Ning to casually ask such a big secret.
He did not interrupt and just sat there quietly, watching the two communicate.
"There's a hundred silver taels here. First, find a place to stay, and in three days you'll receive the emperor's order. Then, do whatever you want. Remember to bring out your good grades and don't let me down on your kindness!"
Yan Wuzhan rolled his eyes. Who would be so kind as to ask others not to forget their kindness?
However, the man's reaction was different. Although he was skeptical, he seemed to believe Dongfang Ning's words.
"Really, really?"
The scholar cupped his hands in greeting. "May I ask what are the relationship between you two brothers and His Majesty today? Do I really need to rely on you two to complete my task?"
Dongfang Ning was delighted when she heard that. She replied with a smile, "The emperor came to my house twice to clean up some food, but he stuck around my house and couldn't even beat him away."
Yan Wuzhan: "..."
