Xiuxian: The longer you live, the better your talent!

Chapter 63 Lu Jieyuan

During the trip to Ruilong River, Lu Changsheng spent more than half a month. He didn't leave Fenghua Tower until the Lantern Festival was over and the Tongtian Ranking was released.

When he left, the boss of Fenghua Building personally sent him off and waived all his expenses for more than half a month.

Lu Changsheng wanted to postpone it, so he said: "For Lu Jieyuan to settle down in our Fenghua Building is the greatest support for our Fenghua Building. If I still accept your money, I will probably lose my position!"

The boss panicked.

The boss of Fenghua Building is just a senior shopkeeper invited by Zhou's family. If he doesn't do well, he will be beaten down.

Seeing this, Lu Changsheng could only take the money and thank the Zhou family behind him.

Then, he went straight to Jixia Academy, and when he got there, he saw a group of scholars making way for him.

"Lu Jieyuan!"

"Lu Jieyuan is a great talent!"

······
Everyone shouted, looking at Lu Changsheng with reverence.

Lu Changsheng responded one by one and walked to the front of the crowd.

A few days ago, he took out the articles and strategies he had written in the examination room to comment with others. This completely established his reputation as an imperial examination candidate. Even some previous examination candidates were full of praise for him.

In this way, Jinke Jieyuan has become a hot potato. Whoever wants to sit on it, not to mention enjoying the glory of Jieyuan, will be shamed by scholars for the rest of his life.

Of course, this was not the decisive condition. What really allowed Lu Changsheng to take the position of leader was the current situation.

The rebels everywhere wished that Lu Changsheng would fail the rankings. At that time, the foundation of the Dayuan society would completely collapse because of this. This is something that the current Dayuan people with lofty ideals cannot tolerate.

"So, at present, Dayuan seems to be facing serious internal problems, but it is far from hopeless!"

Lu Changsheng felt relieved.

At the moment, he is considered a member of the Dayuan camp, the more stable the Dayuan is, the higher his security will naturally be.

After a while, someone from Jixia Academy walked out. This time, not only the small officials, but also a group of professors and instructors, as well as the mountain master who was in charge of this place came out together.

"This is Lu Changsheng, right?"

Among the crowd, Lu Changsheng stood out from the crowd, surrounded by many scholars.

There was a warm smile on the face of the mountain master, and he said bluntly, young talents!
Everyone agrees with this statement.

Ever since Lu Changsheng's name was spread in the Lantern Festival, his age background is no longer a secret. In the officialdom, both of these two may become his shortcomings, but in terms of fame, they have given him great blessings.

The influence of the elderly Jieyuan and the young Jieyuan is definitely not on the same level.

The compliment made the people around him admire Lu Changsheng even more.

At this time, the petty official was already walking upstairs to the No. [-] Scholar.

A moment later, the Tongtian List slowly fell from the pavilion, and without blinking their eyes, everyone directly glanced at the 99 candidates below, looking at No.1——

"Jianke Jieyuan——Lu Changsheng!"

······
Lu Changsheng felt something strange in his hands, and turned his head to see that Li Nangua was holding his hand with one hand, with an excited expression on his face.

"Changsheng, I really won!"

"Yes! From now on, it won't be so difficult!"

Lu Changsheng sighed.

Today's imperial examiner is, after all, a ninth-grade official. With Dayuan's attitude towards officials, let alone breaking the law, even if he contradicts the emperor, he can still save his life.

"Such behavior is a bit like the Song Dynasty in the previous life, strict people and strict officials. Over time, it will cause the system to decay. However, for me, it is a good thing!"

After receiving the ranking, Lu Changsheng was led upstairs to the No. [-] Scholar's Hall and ate with a group of nobles.

This made a group of ordinary wealthy households under the Zhuangyuan Pavilion extremely envious.

However, a small number of large households have a little more anxiety and uneasiness.

"How could it be! How could it be!"

Master Chen raised his head and looked at the looming figure on the pavilion, with a pale face. Zhao Qing next to him supported him and kept giving him comfort.

"Master, I can't blame you for this. Who would have thought that immortality would be so powerful!"

Speaking of this, Zhao Qing also felt infinite regret in his heart and wanted to slap himself in the face.

She has been planning and calculating for more than ten years, and she thinks she has done a great job, but she never expected that she will suffer a big fall with Lu Changsheng.

Looking at the panic-stricken master, she secretly hated, if he hadn't been so strict with her, why would she be so cautious in everything, lest she offend him?
If she could get closer, she might have opened her mouth and asked the school to accept people from her village.

How could it evolve into what it is now?
"How can this be done... How can this be done!"

Master Chen was in a daze.

Fortunately, because Lu Changsheng delayed the time on the grounds of 'consideration', otherwise, he would really have to buy himself a coffin.

"Let's talk when we get back!" After waiting for a long time, Lin Xiaowen sighed helplessly when he saw that Lu Changsheng never came down.

Turning his head to look, on weekdays, the rich and powerful men who are still bossy, all of them seem to have lost their souls at this moment, and their expressions are a little more dull.

The glory of today's imperial examination candidates originally belonged to them, but unfortunately, they pushed them out with their own hands!
"Time is also fate!"

Lin Xiaowen regretted it, and understood that opportunities often coexist with risks. It is not impossible to obtain huge benefits at the lowest cost, but the possibility must be much smaller.

The departure of more than a dozen big households attracted a lot of attention.

One must know that Lu Changsheng is a Jieyuan in this discipline, with a reputation and a body, and his status is not inferior to those Jinshi who are at the bottom of the palace examination.

These big families are incomparably beautiful in front of ordinary people, but in front of such people, they are just fragile vases, which are not useful.

Therefore, it is natural to build a good relationship.

After seeing Lin Xiaowen and others, an inexplicable smile suddenly appeared.

"It turned out to be them, Lin Xiaowen is old, and even such characters are pushed out!"

"The Xun family has not stated that they want to cause trouble for Lu Jieyuan. These people are too scrupulous! Let me tell you, at least the specific situation should be clarified."

······
There was not complete harmony among the big households, and some still had competitive relationships. Seeing the dejected looks of Lin Xiaowen and others, everyone felt happy.

It was not until the early morning of the next day that Lu Changsheng and Li Pumpkin left the Zhuangyuan building.

I talked with those noble people too late last night, so I took a rest in the Zhuangyuan Building.

The Zhuangyuan Building has an independent resting courtyard, adjacent to the Jixia Academy, and the nobles who talked with Lu Changsheng are not just a single camp, but also include the Zhou family, the upstart Qin family, the Gao family, the Xun family and other old and new nobles. .

It was the first time that Lu Changsheng stood at the senior level of Heishan Mansion and talked with these nobles on an equal footing.

What surprised him was that many nobles were enjoying themselves happily, and there was no sign of incompatibility at all. Even in the dead of night in the middle of the night, no one came to the door privately as he expected.

After thinking about it carefully, it is somewhat clear.

"Now, I am not someone who can be manipulated at will. If you want me to take sides, it is not a casual thing!"

Perhaps, we need to slowly and subtly win over them in the coming time, so that they will not be so easily counterattacked.

"They are all human beings!"

On the way back, Lu Changsheng sighed with emotion, but his heart was completely relaxed.

Da Yuan's struggle obviously did not reach that desperate level, so he has enough confidence to develop safely.

"In a few days, let's go back to the village and have a look!" Lu Changsheng said to Li Nangua.

Li Pumpkin hesitated.

In fact, she didn't miss much about her family in Zhaojia Village.

But seeing that Lu Changsheng spoke firmly, he also nodded.
