The magistrate of Nanyang County was named Ye Huaifeng.
He was 27 years old, a third-class Jinshi graduate. At the beginning of this year, he was assigned to Nanyang by the Ministry of Personnel to serve as a county magistrate.
Although being a fellow Jinshi was not very glorious, County Magistrate Ye was definitely considered a promising young man.
Just a bit unlucky.
Because he was not only a "fellow Jinshi", but also a "county magistrate of Fuguo".
There is a saying: If you are unlucky in three lives, you will be a county magistrate.
County Magistrate Ye felt very miserable.
So at a young age, he lost his fighting spirit and when he had nothing to do, he would stay in the county government office reading storybooks.
As for the reason——
Other county magistrates are in charge of a certain area and are very powerful.
But Nanyang is both a county town and a provincial capital.
The county government office and the prefectural government office are next to each other!
The prefectural government office next to it is magnificent; in comparison, the county magistrate's office is short and shabby.
Magistrate Ye worked under the nose of his superior, with his rights blocked, heavy responsibilities and no authority at all.
It's my duty to do the job well, there's no credit for it.
If it doesn't work out -
Humph.
In an instant, you might be called to the prefectural government office next door and severely reprimanded by your superiors.
She felt aggrieved like a bullied young wife.
However, today, County Magistrate Ye saw hope - educating a child prodigy would definitely be a great achievement!
So the question is, how do we get to know this little genius named Cui Xian?
County Magistrate Ye was in trouble again.
After all, he is a county magistrate. It would be inappropriate for him to take the initiative to summon Cui Xian in a hurry.
People will laugh at you for being too utilitarian.
County Magistrate Ye thought hard but could not come up with any solution for a while, so he simply walked out of the county hall to get some fresh air.
When he walked out, he happened to meet the county magistrate, Zhao Zhi.
As a result, Zhao Zhi, relying on his age, clearly saw County Magistrate Ye, but pretended not to see him and walked away.
County Magistrate Ye was so angry that he gritted his teeth secretly, but he could do nothing about it.
Who made him a county magistrate with no power?
In addition, the Zhao family had abundant assets and was the "chief of the gentry" in Nanyang. Zhao Zhi had been the magistrate of Nanyang County for thirty years, and he had great prestige and could command the support of hundreds of people.
Naturally, he did not take the new "young man" County Magistrate Ye seriously.
"As the county magistrate, I feel so aggrieved!"
County Magistrate Ye was heartbroken.
After a moment, he sighed again and said happily: "Forget it, I will ignore this annoying guy and continue to watch Young Hero Hongmao! The Long Rainbow Sword is so powerful!"
The other side.
As soon as County Magistrate Zhao Zhiyi returned home, he saw his twelve-year-old grandson Zhao Yaozu getting angry and smashing things.
The servants trembled with fear.
Zhao Zhi hurried forward and said in a gentle voice, "Hey, who made our good grandson angry?"
Zhao Yaozu stepped on a storybook and kicked it a few times, saying irritably, "It's nothing. An eight-year-old kid wrote a mediocre storybook, and now people say he's a genius."
oh?
Zhao Zhi said disdainfully: "What's the use of such a low-brow thing as a storybook! Don't worry, my dear grandson, you are the most amazing little genius in Nanyang. You will take the imperial examination and win the first place!"
Zhao Zhi did not come from an orthodox imperial examination background.
He started out as a minor official and worked his way up to his current position as county magistrate.
He had a very high prestige in the county government and had defeated many county magistrates, so naturally he did not take County Magistrate Ye seriously.
But no matter how many county magistrates he defeated, Zhao Zhi could not be promoted to the position of county magistrate.
Because he has not studied the Four Books and Five Classics and is not from a scholarly family!
Therefore, Zhao Zhi, who had a bad heart, paved the way for his grandson since he was a child, and spread the word that his grandson Zhao Yaozu was a genius prodigy.
He vowed to train a legitimate scholar for the Zhao family to comfort himself for his failure to be promoted to the position of county magistrate.
Originally, Zhao Zhi and Cui Xian would not have any intersection.
But what happened next made the Zhao family's grandparents and grandchildren target Cui Xian with ill intentions.
·
Pei clan studies.
Seeing the student who raised the question, he hurried to ask Master Wu Qinglan.
Cui Xian looked strange.
As expected, Master Wu is desperately looking for the "calligraphy genius" who is practicing calligraphy in the ear room.
In the past, Cui Xian followed the four young masters and was inconspicuous.
He has been in the limelight today, and Master Wu, who is in the dark, will definitely blame Cui Xian.
Pei Jian just praised Cui Xian a lot.
When it came time to see the real thing, he felt a little nervous again. He quietly asked Cui Xian: "Brother Xian, you are okay, right?"
Upon hearing this, the other three young masters all looked at Cui Xian closely.
Cui Xian coughed lightly and said vaguely: "It should be no problem."
If nothing unexpected happens.
Not only will there be no problems, but there will also be a shocking scene like 'The teacher cries in public and shouts, 'I finally found you, the most powerful little genius in Nanyang'.
Seeing how confident he was, Pei Jian and the other three suddenly felt more confident.
But something unexpected really happened.
Because Master Wu took a sudden leave and was not in the clan school today, the student who raised the question came to nothing.
Hear the news.
Gao Qi was dissatisfied and shouted: "This old man Wu is too unreliable! He usually stays in the school every day, but when the critical moment comes, he disappears."
Pei Jian was also very unhappy, and glared at the student who raised the question: "Just wait, one day is not a big deal! When Wu Qinglan comes back, we will see the truth in front of everyone!"
The student who raised the question snorted coldly: "You are lucky today. When the teacher comes back, he will definitely expose your lies!"
Both sides exchanged harsh words.
But Wu Qinglan didn't come, and the farce ended up breaking up.
The students were discussing a lot and had a heated discussion on whether Cui Xian was a "super genius who could memorize "Dragon Whip Shadow" in one afternoon."
