surnamed Wang

Seeing that the female monk was about to make a move, Wang Pingquan's thoughts changed sharply, recalling the conversation between the two just now, a flash of understanding suddenly flashed in his heart, and he hurriedly said:

"Wait a minute, I haven't finished talking, Zhao Zhiyi is actually my father."

As expected, the female monk paused when she heard the words, then stared quietly at the other party for a while, and said lightly:
"How to prove it?"

Wang Gingquan raised the hem of his clothes, revealing the pure white saber around his waist, "Here, Shuanghan, it's just like a fake."

The female monk remained calm and stretched out her hand to grab it out of thin air. Wang Gingquan suddenly felt a tremor in his waist. Without waiting for him to react, Shuanghan pulled out of the sheath directly and flew straight towards the female monk.

Seeing this, Wang Gingquan's heart shuddered, and he thought to himself that he didn't make a move just now, and this move alone is a difficult character.

The female monk held the hilt of the sword with her backhand, put the blade across her face, stroked it lightly with her left hand, and looked at it carefully.

After a long time, the female monk sighed softly, threw out the sword, and returned it the same way.

Wang Gangquan was smiling the whole time, his face almost froze, he guessed right, the nun in front of him was his father's concubine.

"This female Bodhisattva, do you know my father?"

Wang Gingquan talked humanly when he saw people, and talked nonsense when he saw ghosts. Before meeting the five girls of the Tang Sect, he would call her Aunt shamelessly. Now when he saw the more unpredictable female monks of the Shi Sect, he behaved a lot.

"How is he now?" The woman asked without answering.

As one of the few living Buddhas in Buddhism, a female monk is not at peace for the first time in 20 years.

"Father, he passed away a few years ago." Wang Gangquan said truthfully.

The woman in a plain white monk's robe put her hands together, lowered her head and lowered her eyes, and softly recited the Buddhist scriptures. After a long time, she raised her head again.

"Back then I owed him a favor, but I never heard from him. I didn't expect that 20 years later, things are different now. Since you are the son of that person, the favor should be returned to you."

Although Wang Gangquan was expressionless when he heard the words, he felt a little excited in his heart. The two didn't fight each other, but Wang Gangquan could still guess their general state.

Looking at it now, it is really thanks to the old man's mercy, at this moment, he only heard the other party say leisurely:

"Back then he made one shot and helped me block Mo Xiao's blow, but now I will only make one shot, so you can do it yourself."

The female monk is also a little curious about the young man in front of her. She has been practicing in the Western Regions for a long time, and she has come all the way to the east. points, the remaining two or three points are extremely secretive.

"My little nephew knows." Wang Gingquan nodded, his shameless energy came up again, "I don't know what to call my aunt?"

The female monk frowned slightly, this person was really just like that guy back then, with a glib tongue and no right way.

"The poor monk's Dharma name is the truth of the door."

"In this case, then my nephew will call you Master Mendi."

"Whatever you want." The female Living Buddha, who is known as the "Gate Bodhisattva", said with no expression on her face.

The two continued along the road to the Eastern Han capital. Wang Gingquan wanted to let the female monk get on the horse, but was surprised to find that the other party's steps were not long, but they could often cover a long distance with one step, and he was gradually left behind.

And every time the female monk takes a step, a lotus flower pattern will be left on the ground, which is really a lotus every step of the way.

Looking at this scene, Wang Gangquan couldn't help frowning while being speechless. The monk Laitou back then, like the female monk in front of him, could shrink into an inch and travel thousands of miles in a day.

The female monk in front seemed to know what he was thinking, stopped and turned her head, and said lightly:
"Smiling Maitreya does have some connections with me, but he has done a lot of evil, all of which are his own fault, and his death is also a certainty at your hands, so don't worry too much about it."

After saying that, he turned his head and continued on his way, Wang Pingquan calmed down when he heard the words, the masters of Buddhism and Taoism really couldn't deduce according to common sense.

The two of them traveled quickly all afternoon, and finally arrived at the capital of Eastern Han Dynasty when it was dark. Wang Gangquan raised his eyes and saw that the prosperity of the city was not weaker than that of the capital of the Dynasty.

"finally reached."

Wang Gingquan murmured, a trace of killing intent flashed in his eyes.

……

Dynasty this year Enke has clearly met Shundi's expectations, not only a large number of talents, but most of them are rookies in their 30s and [-]s.

These young people who are regarded as a romantic figure in the local area are more pleasing to the eye than those old fritters in the court.

Emperor Shun was overjoyed and directly held a banquet in the palace to entertain the group of senior scholars from all over the world, and the three of them were directly invited to the front row by the emperor of the royal family.

The son of Shen Qianqiu, as the number one scholar of this session and the first trinity since the establishment of the dynasty more than 30 years ago, naturally received extremely high courtesy. Not only was he the closest to the emperor, but he was also personally served by the eunuch who was in charge of ceremonies and palm prints.

During the palace examination, Emperor Shun recognized the scholar who was brought into the palace by Wang Gangquan at a glance. He claimed to be a wise king and did not make things difficult for him.

It's just that the other party has something to do with the power of the king, so Emperor Shun couldn't help feeling suspicious, fearing that if he reused it, the prince would control the government, so he summoned the second place in private against common sense.

But what Emperor Shun didn't expect was that when he asked about the address of the young man at No. [-], the other party actually answered Ankang Palace, and the emperor was stunned on the spot until the eunuch reminded him.

After Jiang left at No. [-], Emperor Shun retreated around and sat alone in the imperial study. He stayed until midnight, when the empress who had been waiting for a long time in the harem came to inquire about what had happened.

Nie Yingxue, who was already a queen, couldn't laugh or cry, she gently pushed open the door, and slowly entered the imperial study room. After a while, the two of them were talking weakly in the room.

The old lady who had been waiting outside the house listened to the content of the conversation between the two of them, but the only sentence that he could vaguely hear made him almost lose his mind:
"What the hell is this bastard doing?"

About a quarter of an hour later, Emperor Shun walked out of the imperial study with a blank expression on his face, and the empress, who was half a step behind, was full of helplessness.

……

After the ranks of enrolling scholars are determined, the busiest people are not the officials and scholars, but those high-ranking families in Beijing.

Among them are officials and rich people, and they used to be aloof on weekdays, but now they are trying their best to get acquainted with these future upstarts of the dynasty.

Scholars who have already half-stepped into the officialdom are mostly waiting for the price. As long as the visitor is below the sixth rank, most of them will directly decline, let alone those merchants who have no official status and no rank.

Even so, these businessmen still did not give up, and they carried portraits of their own female relatives with them. They did not dare to expect extravagance, so they knocked on the doors of the other Jinshi.

After meeting, I can't help but say, first hand over 1000 taels of silver, as long as the other party accepts it, the incense will be saved, and then I will take out the portrait and let you choose.

Those who want to be cheeky will only carry a portrait of their own daughter and ask for the status of a concubine.

If you can afford it, you can directly hold the portraits of all the women in the whole family except your own mother. Only the other party nods. Even if it is your wife, you will not hesitate to offer it with both hands.

A little more inhumanity, and the young man in the family is also brought along, and it is enough to keep a certain scholar.

The court officials naturally scoffed at such practices, especially those above the third grade, they would usually choose to sit quietly at home and wait for the students to come to visit.

It is estimated that there are only three people in the first class who can make them put down their dignity and come to the door in person. For example, Shen Qianqiu and Jiang Xiucheng have attracted the attention of these big officials.
