It was finally difficult for Ning Jiang to get rid of everyone and meet with his sister.

At this moment, Xiao Meng was so happy that she even smiled at her eyes.

Lu Xifu on the other side was a little lost, just because, as Ningjiang passed the exam, the title of the number one talented man in Gaosuo County was completely on Ningjiang.

After all, although Ning Jiang suppressed her brother during the Lantern Festival, it was just a poetry meeting after all. Her brother Lu Zhiyuan was a real student. At this time, a poet at the Yuehu Poetry Club was comparable to that of a poet in the Yuehu Poetry Club?

However, now, Ningjiang is not only a student in the imperial examination, but also the head of the case in the palace examination. Even Lu Xifu once heard that in the capital, the private gatherings of high-ranking officials were arranged according to the ranking of the imperial examination.

She stomped her feet hatefully and turned around and left.

In the next few days, according to the conventional rules, Ning Jiang first visited the prefect with other new scholars to thank the "cultivation". As for the mutual visits between scholars, Ning Jiang would recommend them if they could. Even if someone came to visit him, he would just deal with them casually.

It is a very common thing for students to gather together. Ning Jiang's approach naturally made him inevitably rejected among these students. Some people think he is too arrogant, some people think he is unkind, but he himself doesn't care about it. It's just because, from now on, he must do his best to prepare for the state examination this fall.

Once he gets too close to these students, he will inevitably be invited to attend various banquets and poetry parties, and waste his time on meaningless things such as drinking orders and shopping in brothels, and he does not have this time.

After all, it has been more than half a year since the rebirth, and the Fengshan Mountains of Mount Tai will be the next year. This autumn must pass the state test, and next March will be the Imperial Examination, and once every three years. If he fails, he will never have a chance again. He can only watch the Yuan Demon Emperor completely defeat the Wendi Star, followed by the chaos in the world and the demise of the Great Zhou.

If he cannot help the Great Zhou Dynasty protect half of the country and directly invade the barbarians, even if he is completely in chaos, he will not be able to achieve success in that completely chaotic situation. Even if he can make a breakthrough, he must go through more than ten or twenty years of troubled times and cannot establish effective forces that can effectively deal with the Yuan Demon Emperor and the Meng Army Iron Cavalry. The final result is that the Meng Army Iron Cavalry will sweep the world in a destructive way, and the Yuan Demon Emperor is invincible and unstoppable.

It is precisely because of this that for him now, time is valuable, and he has no time to waste it on all kinds of unnecessary social engagements.

Of course, before this, there is one thing that must be done first...

***

Cao Jie has been worried recently, and the reason for his troubles is that Ningjiang's "great blessing" is too great.

According to the practice of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the head of the case in the prefecture examination can enter Beijing to attend the Imperial College with the guarantee and recommendation of the prefect.

Imperial College is the highest institution of learning in the entire country. Generally speaking, only high-ranking officials above the fifth rank, royal relatives or descendants of Confucian generals of the same level can enter Imperial College. In addition, even the best in the state examination are also qualified to enter Imperial College. The head of the case in the government examination can only enter Imperial College after being specially recommended by the prefect. However, generally speaking, if you are not a student with particularly good character, the prefect will not specifically recommend it.

But the problem is that Ning Jiang is still known as "filial piety and honest".

Is filial and honest good character? This is the face of the prefect and Cao Jie, the magistrate.

Not to mention, Dian Hong attaches great importance to Ningjiang and has already intended to recommend Ningjiang to enter the Imperial College. Even from the perspective of political achievements, the filial piety and integrity of our county was the first to take the imperial examination. This "good story" is also very helpful to Dian Hong's official reputation. After all, it is not easy to combine "the filial piety and integrity" into one. If the magistrate of this kind of student with both good character and academic performance is not reasonable, it is impossible to say anything if the prefect of the magistrate does not recommend it to the Imperial College.

But if Ning Jiang really entered the Imperial College, Cao Jie would have no way to do it. Everyone knows that as the "highest institution of learning", in the Imperial College, knowledge itself is no longer important. What is important is that the students in it are either royal relatives or generals. In addition to the doctoral candidates specially hired by the imperial court, there are also many senior officials who serve as part-time officials.

For the sons of high-ranking officials who have no hope of imperial examinations, after the general, it is a gilded place. After entering the Imperial College for three years, they have the qualifications to become officials after they come out. For students who enter the Imperial College with their own abilities, it is a long-term network of relationships and make friends with all kinds of powerful people.

It can be said that once Ning Jiang entered the Imperial College, Cao Jie would definitely not dare to touch him!

If he had known that he would be the leader of the case, he would not have been allowed to become a filial and honest person... Cao Jie was upset.

It is easy to deal with just a court trial or a filial and honest person. The two combined together will be too lethal. It can be used as a role model for publicity in any county. Considering Ningjiang's song "The Long Song" was presented to the court at the beginning of the year with Dian Hong's recommendation. I heard that those high-ranking officials and nobles would copy it back home and let their naughty children recite it. As long as Ningjiang himself was willing, it could be said that there would be no obstacles to entering the Imperial College.

Thinking of this, Cao Jieding felt so much that his headache was almost experiencing.

Fortunately, that night, a man secretly found him and secretly reported to him some things in the Gaosuoning clan association, which relieved his headache a lot.

Ning Jiang finally proposed to the elders of the clan to relocate the ancestral tomb. Of course, when it comes to the ancestral tomb, he must have encountered strong resistance at the beginning.

But for Cao Jieding, this is obviously a good sign, which means that Ning Jiang is really afraid, and the "great blessing" has come true. Ning Jiang, who is worried that a "big disaster" will occur in the second half of the year, has begun to take action.

This made Cao Jie feel relieved. Now he just waited for Ningjiang to deliver the little parrot continent to his hands, and then he could make excuses to dig out the Little Sui Hou Palace in the Little Parrot Island. At that time, wealth and honor are in hand, and it doesn't matter whether this little county magistrate is right or not.

However, after a few days, the situation seemed to have changed.

Ningjiang and several elders of the tribe went to Little Parrot Island. After returning, they stopped talking about the migration of the ancestral tombs, but instead secretly discussed something.

Cao Jie decided to summon Zuo Liangpeng, Yu Huacan and Ao Yao to discuss with them. In order to find out what Ning Jiang and the heads of the separated families were doing, Ao Yao relied on his martial arts to sneak into Ning Jiang and discuss matters with the heads of the separated families, and secretly talked to them.

The voices of these people were too small, and Ao Yao didn't know what they were discussing, but he just heard the word "baoguang" vaguely...
