If a good person dies like a lamp going out, will you be reincarnated?

Chapter 194: When Your Name is on the List (Two-in-one subscription required)
After showing Su Wan's eloquence in the carriage.

Xu Lei took Su Wan back home.

In the blink of an eye, it was another month later.

That day, after inspecting the state of his industry, Xu Lei returned to his mansion. His other three wives and concubines were all pregnant.

So Xu Lei came to the courtyard where Su Wan lived.

The house where Xu Lei lives is very big.

Each wife or concubine had her own independent courtyard.

Just walked into the room.

Then I saw Su Wan crawling towards me on all fours.

"If you're pregnant, don't be like this."

Seeing this, Xu Lei helped her up and said, "Walk normally in the future so as not to affect the fetus."

"Yes, sir."

Su Wan said obediently: "It's okay, actually, the child has just been conceived."

Seeing this, Xu Lei couldn't help but sigh. He didn't expect that the proud Su Wan back then would become like this.

Of course Xu Lei did not treat her badly. Compared with other female slaves, she lived a good life.

Others would fight and kill, and even give things away to others to play with. Xu Lei was just a bit too much in some aspects.

As for the others, they should be given a certain amount of respect.

After Su Wan became pregnant, Xu Lei prepared to marry again.

The position of the legal wife is still vacant.

Suddenly, the governor came down to inspect.

Xu Lei, as the youngest and most promising businessman in the area, who had made outstanding contributions to the economic recovery of the Dawu Dynasty, also went to meet him.

Unexpectedly, I met a beautiful girl.

She is the daughter of the governor and accompanies him on his travels.

And Xu Lei heard that she was a young ancient martial arts genius with the talent of a five-pattern soul wheel.

"This is a suitable candidate for a wife."

Xu Lei couldn't help but think in his heart: "But the governor of a state is considered a high-ranking official in the Wu Dynasty. I want to marry her, is it possible?"

Although the status of merchants has improved a lot nowadays, it has not improved that much.

Even though Xu Lei was already a world-famous businessman, his smokeless kerosene lamps were even sold to the imperial palace.

But it is still impossible to reach such a young lady from an official family.

So Xu Lei just took a few glances and then didn't look at it any more.

"You little profiteer, what are you peeking at me for?"

Unexpectedly, Xu Lei's behavior has been seen by the girl. She said directly: "Do you think I am someone you can covet? A toad wants to eat swan meat! People like you will never be able to touch me in your life! Humph."

Xu Lei didn't expect the girl to be so arrogant and direct, but he didn't refute anything.

He just hurriedly expressed to the governor respectfully that he had no intention of being rude.

It's just that the young lady is so beautiful, so charming, and has an outstanding temperament, like a fairy on earth, so I couldn't help but look at her a few more times. I hope that the lord and the young lady will forgive me.

Hearing Xu Lei say this, the girl snorted and still looked down on him.

However, the governor laughed heartily. He was still very generous and said, "It's okay, Lei Xu. I still understand you. It's the nature of men.

In fact, you are handsome and promising at a young age. It is not easy for you to achieve such success in business at such a young age.

Of course, my girl is right. You, a mere businessman, are indeed not worthy of her.

However, more than half a year later, His Majesty has decided to reopen the imperial examination. I remember that you can also read and write, right?
If you can prepare in advance and pass the imperial examination, and if you can become a Jinshi, I don't mind betrothing my daughter to you!"

Xu Lei was stunned when he heard this.

"Dad, what are you talking about? There's no way I'm going to marry him!"

The girl next to him said, "Besides, how can he succeed in the imperial examination? Even if he prepares in advance, so many wealthy families and young talents in the world have already heard the news!

If I want to become a Jinshi, I don’t know how many people I will have to break through! A toad is a toad, and it will never be worthy of a swan like me! "

"How easy is it to pass the imperial examination?"

Xu Lei was not angry, he just smiled and said: "Your Excellency is too kind. Although I admire you, young lady, I really don't have such talent."

Although Xu Lei actually annoyed this girl.

When he first saw her, he was indeed stunned by her beautiful face and figure, but now she kept calling him a toad and acted superior, and Xu Lei couldn't help but feel unhappy.

However, it was impossible for him to say anything offensive to the governor in person, so he continued to flatter him.

"Who wants your admiration?"

But the girl said, "You don't deserve it, do you know that? You are just a dog in our family. How dare a dog admire its master? If it weren't for the power of our family, would your business be as big as it is now?"

Xu Lei was slightly stunned. He didn't expect the girl to say something so unpleasant.

Indeed, Xu Lei has business dealings with the governor, and there is collusion between officials and businessmen. That is why Xu Lei appeared in front of the governor today.

The governor is a great martial artist.

During the chaos, His Majesty Emperor Wu wanted to unify the world. It was impossible for him to do everything by himself, so he had to recruit strong subordinates to conquer the world together.

It was at that time that the governor joined the army of His Majesty the Emperor Wu.

Because of his outstanding performance in the process of conquering the world, he was able to hold such an official position today.

It is naturally unlikely that someone who emerged from the chaotic and chaotic world would have any moral concept of being an honest official.

I just kept thinking, I helped you conquer the world back then, and it was so hard, now it’s time for you to enjoy yourself.

Therefore, he was quickly corrupted by Xu Lei.

"presumptuous."

At this time, without waiting for Xu Lei to say anything, the governor slammed the table and said, "Am I too pampering you? How dare you say such insulting words? Shopkeeper Lei is my close friend! You bastard, get down and kneel down!"

Although the governor did not take the merchants too seriously at the beginning, he even looked down on ordinary merchants today.

But Xu Lei is not ordinary. He has a very dark heart and very wild hands.

After all, he is a person who can reincarnate, so he is not afraid of being exposed and caught in this life.

Therefore, over the years, Xu Lei has accumulated a considerable network of relationships by colluding with officials and businessmen and binding interests together.

So in the governor's heart, although he felt that the merchants were all his dogs.

But he couldn't say that in front of Xu Lei now.

"My lord, it's over, it's over."

At this time, Xu Lei also quickly spoke up: "Miss, you are just joking, I won't take it seriously!"

Of course, despite what Xu Lei said, the governor still insisted on making her kneel as punishment.

After being punished by her father to kneel, this rich girl took her anger out on Xu Lei and glared at him with her beautiful eyes.

At this time, Xu Lei didn't think that she was a suitable candidate for the wife.

Because this girl is really hot.

Of course Xu Lei also knew that he would not be able to marry her.

After all, although Xu Lei is a cultivator, he actually has no way to get his name on the list of successful candidates.

Because he was too lazy to read those pedantic classics and history books.

However, unexpectedly, on this day, Xu Lei bid farewell to the governor and returned to the clinic to visit Guanyun Bodhisattva.

When Guanyun Bodhisattva heard about this, she suddenly said, "Xiaoxu, do you want to pass the imperial examination? If you do, I can help you!"

In recent years, although Xu Lei married and had children, he did practice what he said at the beginning and did not forget Sister Yun, Guanyun Bodhisattva.

He often came to the clinic to see Sister Yun, and even spent a lot of money to buy her various expensive gifts.

Even every time he came back from a business trip, he would bring rare items from all over the world as gifts to Bodhisattva Guanyun.

Now Guanyun Bodhisattva's house is filled with various gifts from all over the world sent by Xu Lei.

Bodhisattva Guanyun does not live with Xu Lei now, but lives in her own house.

After all, Xu Lei already has a wife and a concubine, so it is certainly not appropriate.

But it seems that Xu Lei really treats her as a sister and often spends so much money to buy gifts for her.

During every festival, she is the first one to come.

She couldn't remain indifferent.

Therefore, she is still very nice to Xu Lei now.

"What, sister, you can help me get a good score in the imperial examination, did I hear it right?" Xu Lei was also surprised.

Because he himself is also a cultivator, but he has no way to help himself pass the imperial examination.

I didn’t expect Bodhisattva Guanyun to say this.

But think about it, Bodhisattva Guanyun was one of the two top monks of the last era, so it is understandable that she has a way.

"Will this be too much trouble for me, or will it affect my practice?"

Xu Lei continued: "If that's the case, forget it."

"it does not matter."

However, Guanyun Bodhisattva said: "As long as you use two magic tools, it will be fine. In fact, not much magic power will be wasted."

As she spoke, she took out a small round bead and said, "Put this in your ear. Then, I can send you a message over a thousand miles."

She took out a small necklace and said, "Put this necklace around your neck, and I will be able to see your test questions through the necklace.

As long as you arrange some talented people outside to help you, they can help you pass the exam and get your name on the list.

Whether it can be done is not entirely certain. If the content of the imperial examination is the same as in previous dynasties, there should still be some subjects such as strategy, right?
Those seem to be the answers, not standard, but it should be possible to get a Jinshi!"

“It’s simply a cheating tool.”

Xu Lei couldn't help but laugh: "Then I'll trouble you, sister, for your help!"

Afterwards, Xu Lei did not refuse.

He felt that it would be a good thing to pass the imperial examination and become an official.

After all, Xu Lei couldn't practice martial arts in this lifetime. If he practiced Taoism, he would just accumulate magical powers.

It is extremely difficult to improve your cultivation level.

In the blink of an eye, it was more than a year later.

The Dawu Dynasty really restarted the imperial examination system.

After all, after the world was stabilized, His Majesty the Emperor Wu discovered that warriors alone could not govern the world well.

Although, even if there is too much chaos in some place in the world, he can still settle everything by going there himself.

But of course he couldn't possibly like this kind of trouble.

He is still plotting to reach a higher realm of cultivation in the ancient immortal martial arts.

Because according to the original secret records, Martial Saint is not the final realm.

However, it is extremely difficult to improve to the later levels.

In short, in order to make the world more stable.

The imperial examination system came into being again.

The status of scholars will also be improved again.

Xu Lei actually took part in the imperial examination.

And with the help of Guanyun Bodhisattva.

In the examination room, Xu Lei only needs to be a tool to answer questions.

Bodhisattva Guanyun is surrounded by a group of think tanks who are looking for various answers by marking papers and answering questions.

And Xu Lei only needed to write down the answers they found.

It was equivalent to that other candidates took closed-book exams, while Xu Lei took open-book exams. After the exam, it was proven that Guanyun Bodhisattva's cheating method was successful.

This year, eighteen-year-old Xu Lei successfully made it onto the list.

He surpassed many scholars in the world and achieved the title of Jinshi.

Afterwards, Xu Lei came to the capital of Wu Dynasty.

Prepare to take the palace examination.

Back to the outside of the palace.

Xu Lei was also filled with emotion.

In this life, he was originally born in this palace.

The final palace examination was conducted by Emperor Wu himself.

Here, His Majesty the Emperor will decide the top three.

The top three in the imperial examination will all appear here.

On this day, when preparing to enter the palace, Xu Lei and Su Wan, who had just become pregnant again, were about to separate.

Because Xu Lei's other three wives and concubines were already pregnant, Xu Lei asked them to stay at home to take care of the fetuses.

After Su Wan gave birth to a child, she rested for a period of time and her body has recovered.

Xu Lei asked her to accompany him to Beijing, but he didn't expect that during this time in Beijing, Su Wan became pregnant again by Xu Lei.

But unexpectedly, just as they were about to part, Xu Lei actually ran into the scholar who had been discussing marriage with Su Wan.

Yes, he was nominated too.

"Lei Xu, Wan'er!" When he saw Xu Lei, and Su Wan, who was leaning against Xu Lei obediently and had a more feminine charm, his eyes couldn't help but have a complicated look, with a hint of sadness flashing across them.

Back then, he was still a poor scholar. At that time, there was no consensus in the world whether the imperial examination would be reopened or not.

There was just a rumor that the imperial examination would be reopened, so he studied hard.

Because he had no talent for martial arts, his family had fallen on hard times and was so poor that they had nothing but the last meal they would eat.

It was at that time that Su Wan appeared in his life.

Su Wan's family was better off financially than his, and they even provided him with a lot of financial support when he was studying.

Although at that time, he also inquired about some things about Su Wan and knew about the relationship between Su Wan and Lei Xu.

He knew that Su Wan didn't want to be outdone by Lei Xu, so she placed her hopes on him, helped him, and talked about marriage with him, but he still cherished her very much.

He studied harder.

Thinking that I would be able to pass the imperial examination in the future.

Able to surpass Lei Xu.

Make Su Wan look proud.

But unexpectedly, something happened to Su Wan's brother suddenly.

And it's not something he can solve at all.

Even Su Wan was turned into a slave and auctioned off.

He also didn't have the money to buy Su Wan.

The only thing he could do was to come find Lei Xu.

That’s right, the reason why Xu Lei knew about Su Wan’s family was because this scholar told him.

"Manager Lei, please, save Wan'er." At that time, Xu Lei was outside discussing business and had just returned.

The scholar even said this while kneeling with red eyes.

"A man's knees are made of gold." Xu Lei quickly helped the scholar up.

Later, the scholar followed Xu Lei to the auction, but he did not stand with Xu Lei, but stood on the other side.

He also begged Xu Lei not to tell anyone that he had asked Xu Lei to buy Su Wan.

Xu Lei also knew what he was thinking at the time, that is, since Su Wan was going to become Xu Lei's woman, there was no need to let Su Wan know about this and let Su Wan still miss him in her heart.

"Congratulations, Brother Lin, for being on the list." At this time, Xu Lei couldn't help but bow and say something.

"Brother Lei, congratulations." Lin Shusheng also retracted his gaze towards Su Wan, "I wish Brother Lei good luck in the palace examination today."

"Thank you for your kind words." Xu Lei also smiled and said, "I wish you the same."

Then, Scholar Lin was the first to enter the palace.

Su Wan also looked at Lin Shusheng's back with complicated eyes.

Facts have proved that the person she chose back then was the right one.

This scholar Lin did succeed in the imperial examination.

It’s a pity that fate is fickle and her brother’s incident led to the situation they are in now.

"Why, do you still have feelings for him?" Xu Lei looked at Su Wan, smiled and said.

"Of course not." Su Wan shook her head and quickly explained: "The only thing on my mind right now is the master. I'm about to give birth to my second child, so how could I think of anything else? I just feel a little emotional."

Xu Lei smiled and said nothing.

He knew that Su Wan would not be thinking of having an affair now.

And Xu Lei would not give her this opportunity. Not long after she gave birth, when she recovered, he would continue to have sex with her and make her pregnant again, leaving her with no time at all.

As for Mr. Lin, he is a scholar and not stupid. I think he should be someone who can let go, right?

After that, Xu Lei did not stay long and also walked into the palace.

All the way to the court hall for the palace examination.

"boom."

When everyone gathers together.

A roar sounded.

It was His Majesty the Emperor Wu rushing over at high speed.

The figure stopped and stood still. It was the short and strong middle-aged man from that year.

But now he is wearing a dragon robe, looking noble and majestic.

Looking at His Majesty the Martial Emperor, Xu Lei couldn't help but feel some complicated ripples in his heart.

But on the surface, he must still be very respectful.

Soon, the palace examination began.

His Majesty Emperor Wu asked the scholars present questions about the situation in the world.

As for the palace examination, Bodhisattva Guanyun could not help.

After all, it is a question-and-answer session, so it is not easy to prepare answers quickly.

In addition, because of the existence of His Majesty the Martial Emperor, the martial saint master, Bodhisattva Guanyun was also somewhat fearful.

Other warriors cannot sense the existence of her magic weapon, but it is hard to say whether the Martial Emperor, who is the Martial Saint, can sense it.

If it is sensed, Xu Lei's plan would fail.

Therefore, Bodhisattva Guanyun did not follow Xu Lei to Kyoto.

Many scholars expressed their opinions.

However, most of the views are relatively ordinary.

"War is the source of chaos."

Until Lin Shusheng spoke, his words were sharp and earth-shattering: "Only by gathering all the military forces in the world can we ensure the continuation of our great martial arts..."

His main remarks were that the Da Wu Dynasty should suppress the current development of martial arts, continue to lower the status of warriors, raise the status of scholars, and curb the rampant martial arts, so as to ensure the stability of the Da Wu Dynasty's rule.

His Majesty Emperor Wu's eyelids twitched slightly, and he couldn't help but look at Scholar Lin a few more times.

Everyone present couldn't help but look at Lin Shusheng.

I was shocked by his bravery.

Although these words really touched the heart of Emperor Wu.

After all, the imperial power of the world today originates from the martial arts cultivation of His Majesty the Martial Emperor, the Martial Saint.

Therefore, His Majesty the Emperor Wu is indeed on guard now, wary of the appearance of another Martial Saint in this world.

But if you say it so bluntly, you will probably become a target in the minds of many warriors.

At this time, Xu Lei was looking at Scholar Lin, and he was also wondering in his heart, did Scholar Lin do it on purpose, just to win the favor of His Majesty the Emperor Wu, not afraid of some of the risks involved, or was he too simple-minded and just pointed it out naively?

Of course the answer is no.

Because Xu Lei can't see through people's hearts.

"I think this is inappropriate."

Then, Xu Lei also stepped out and said loudly: "To manage the river, it is better to drain it than to block it! The same applies to the problem of warriors!

Not only should they not be suppressed, but your majesty should also devote resources to cultivating those martial arts talents with good martial arts talents! Set up a top martial arts academy to gather all the martial arts talents in the world to Kyoto!

Even those who have made achievements in cultivation will be rewarded, and those who are particularly outstanding will be married to the descendants of the royal family and brought into the royal family.

In short, only by being broad-minded and open-minded can the Wu Dynasty continue to exist! If you suppress the martial artists in a narrow-minded and tough way, you will lose the support of the people!

Although your majesty is an extraordinary martial artist, the best in the world, but the people's hearts are unstable, the world is unstable..."

At this point, Xu Lei no longer cared about gains or losses.

Anyway, I just said some random words, trying to figure out what the Emperor Wu was thinking and flatter him.

In fact, Xu Lei’s idea at this time was similar to Lin Shusheng’s.

Everyone knows that His Majesty the Martial Emperor wants to suppress warriors. He doesn't want to see a new Martial Saint who can rival him appear in the world.

But Xu Lei felt that even though His Majesty Emperor Wu wanted to be a whore, he had to uphold a good moral character.

We need to suppress warriors, but on the surface, we cannot suppress warriors, we need to cultivate warriors.

It is hard to say whether these good seedlings will die if we cultivate them together.

Of course, at this time Xu Lei didn’t know which of these two extreme views was more favored by the emperor.

But soon, the results came out.

The palace examination is over.

Xu Lei won the first place!
Become the first number one scholar in the Dawu Dynasty!
Lin Shusheng only got second place.

"The roll call at Donghua Gate. This is what the ancient scholars on Earth dreamed of the most. I never thought that I would be able to do this."

On this day, Xu Lei enjoyed the glory and couldn't help feeling emotional.

He was just talking nonsense before, just trying to make the Emperor Wu's dark thoughts sound more plausible.

I didn’t expect that I would get the top spot!

The news that Xu Lei had passed the imperial examination was soon announced to the world.

The first person to know about it was Su Wan, who was waiting for Xu Lei in Beijing.

She couldn't help but be shocked.

Unexpectedly, the young Xu Lei became a business tycoon after only a short period of time.

He took part in the imperial examination and unexpectedly became the top scorer!

Apart from the inability to practice martial arts, he has no other weaknesses.

"What? Xiao Xu actually did it?"

In the local town's clinic, Guanyun Bodhisattva, who was treating patients, was also shocked when she heard the news, and her tender lips opened wide.

Because she knew that Xu Lei had successfully advanced to the next level in all the previous exams, from Tongsheng, Xiucai, Juren, to Jinshi, all because of her help in cheating.

She originally thought that Xu Lei would definitely be overshadowed in the palace examination. After all, she couldn't help him cheat in this part.

But she didn't expect that even without her help in cheating, the palace examination would still be conducted in front of His Majesty Emperor Wu!

Xu Lei actually beat all the other scholars and won the first prize!
