A desk, a bunch of paperwork, is basically what Zhou Mingxuan accompanies every day.

There is no way, the patriarch “takes care of all the opportunities” and can’t be idle.

But in Zhou Bai’s opinion, this is the habit that Zhou Mingxuan honed out when he was a priest when he was young, as the head of a clan, if he is still distracted by small things, how to master the big rudder.

Of course, Zhou Bai, who has no right to speak now, will not say much, just stand on the side and wait quietly.

After a cup of tea, Zhou Mingxuan stopped writing, he gently pulled up a rope next to the table, and immediately a deacon came in to take out the finished things to handle.

Zhou Bai now has good eyesight, and he caught a glimpse of a few lines, and only then did he give instructions, is it the arrangement document for the specific matters of a certain manor?

“You are very patient, and the clan master has also praised your study of the four books and five scriptures, but I didn’t expect that the seventh room would grind out such a seedling as you, which is stronger than this group of clan candidates.” Without waiting for Zhou Bai to complain in his heart, Zhou Mingxuan had already spoken up.

“The patriarch is over-prestigious.” Zhou Baizuo saluted.

Zhou Mingxuan stood up and waved his hand: “I haven’t finished speaking, you are in a hurry, the heart of fame and fortune is too heavy, why should you be in a hurry to end at the age of fifteen, and then precipitate for another three years to impact the fame of Xiucai in one fell swoop.”

Urgent? He was really anxious, anxious that his life was missing, and his life could not be saved.

Not to mention the great calamity a few years later, he urgently needed to obtain a famous position and accumulate strength.

But Zhou Bai couldn’t say it directly, he could only show his self-confidence, so he was neither humble nor arrogant: “Saint Fifteen is interested in learning, although Bai does not dare to compare himself with the previous sages, but he has also tied his hair, and he should pursue something.”

Lifting out the saint, what else could Zhou Mingxuan say, but he was obviously a lot colder, and he probably felt that Zhou Bai was stubborn and did not listen to the advice of his elders.

“Well, this is your mutual settlement and settlement insurance policy, and the county government will use this as a voucher to issue you an examination card.” Zhou Mingxuan took out a stack of deeds, pulled out two from the bottom and handed them to Zhou Bai.

Even Zhou Mingxuan did not avoid suspicion, but spread these documents on the table and let Zhou Bai browse.

Mutual settlement insurance policy is to arrange five people in the same exam, write five children to settle each other’s insurance policy, and five cheaters sit together.

To settle the insurance policy is to ask the county to have insurance, which is called subscription. Ensure that he does not

impersonate his nationality, does not hide his mourning, does not substitute, does not assume a pseudonym, guarantees that his net worth is innocent, and he has not committed a crime.

Originally, when the imperial examination was just emerging, there was also a rule that the descendants of non-prostitutes could apply for the examination, but later a great Confucian from a bad background was promoted to the Heavenly Court as an official and abolished this provision.

Otherwise, Zhou Mingxuan dared to be a priest and said that after all, the official does not enter the product, and strictly speaking, he is also a soap official. Zhou

Bai did not shy away, in front of Zhou Mingxuan to check the mutual settlement and settlement of the insurance policy, the information on it is no problem, even the insurance applicant is the same.

There is no difference in information, but Zhou Bai’s two insurance policies are one less thing than other people’s insurance policies.

Other people’s insurance policy pages have red circles, only Zhou Bai is empty, and there are two red circles in the three-room Zhou and Yun. Zhou

Mingxuan originally thought that Zhou Bai would be puzzled and questioned, who expected that Zhou Bai just bowed and thanked him, and immediately took the insurance policy and left.

In the previous life, Zhou Bai himself had two red circles, and he didn’t know what this was.

The red circle drawn at the head of the insurance policy first came from the examination examination papers.

If the answer is good, the examiner will draw a red circle, and then pass it to the next examiner for review, and the candidates will be ranked by the red circle at the end of the reading.

Later, the mortal court joined the screening of qi luck, and families at all levels learned to use red circles to indicate gas supply luck.

Generally speaking, only families above the county magnate are eligible to do so, and in recent years, those close to the county hao’s family such as the Zhou family are also imitating.

However, the red circle of the Zhou family has very little effect and is only used as an ideogram. The red circle

is drawn by the patriarch himself, and each red circle will be attached with the family luck, but the real county patriarch can distinguish the family luck when he draws it, but Zhou Mingxuan draws it but does not count.

Only the triennial blessing of the ancestral spirit can truly bless the ethnic movement on the candidates for the imperial court to screen.

The county Hao family can divide the clan movement and bless the clan members by the patriarch every year, and the Zhou family is reincarnated every three years, and Zhou Mingxuan’s red circle is really just a circle, and the control of the clan movement is all controlled by the ancestor spirit.

The county hao family is likely to show up every year, while the township family is only possible in three or five years, and the trade-off is long, which is why the gap between family classes is so large.

Zhou Bai knew that the township clan was not in the flow in the entire Daxu, and only the county tyrants who controlled some of the ethnic movements could really step into the threshold of the gentry. But how difficult it is for the county hao, the ancestors of the Zhou family

are as diligent as Zhou Mingxuan, but in the end, they can only use the “red circle” to show the strength of the Zhou family close to the county hao.

I don’t know that this kind of practice is just that painting tigers is not an anti-dog, and it is laughed at by the county of Pingcang County in vain. Zhou

Bai strode out of the door, just in time to hear Zhou Rui arguing with the others.

It seems that they are all candidates for this county examination, two young people with two veins and several branches of the vein are hugging a person, wearing colorful felt cranes and wearing moiré brocades, but there is a little wavering between the eyebrows, and the behavior is quite frivolous.

This is Zhou Chang’s son Zhou Heyun, the younger generation has the most hope of taking the meritorious lineage.

If Zhou Bai had enough energy, he might still look forward to it, but he didn’t even look at Zhou Mingxuan, and where would he watch Zhou Heyun.

“Zhou Heyun, do you think you will definitely be able to pass the exam? Why arrogance here.

“What do you know, Yun Shao is the person who has blessed the most by the ancestral spirit this time, even if it is Xiucai.”

“Hmph, the imperial examination is not just about luck, the family still has the first candidates, and the peasant family can also raise people!”

“How many such people are there? Is it you Zhou Rui?

“You, you…!” After all, Zhou Rui was unable to argue with the crowd, and his face turned red with anger.

Zhou Bai shook his head lightly and stepped forward, “Being so frivolous before achieving meritorious fame, the patriarch is afraid that he will not like it.”

As soon as these words came out, everyone felt a chill in their hearts, and they all shut up and converged, even if they were admitted to the child, if there was no support from the patriarch, it would be difficult to sustain the follow-up.

Only Zhou Heyun felt that he had been left behind, and when he walked past Zhou Bai, he whispered defiantly: “No clan luck still wants to pass the exam, in the next life, and I remember the matter of Zhou Datian.”

It turned out that the three-room relationship attached to Zhou Datian was none other than this young master. Zhou

Bai ignored Zhou Heyun’s words, and pulled Zhou Rui away, without even tilting his head.

Zhou Heluck was even more angry, his face was gloomy, and he didn’t know if he was cursing silently.

Walking out of the group hall, Zhou Rui said rather worriedly: “That kid is usually not bad at learning, plus this time he received the heaviest blessing, it is not a problem for children in the exam, even if he is a show talent, he is hopeful.”

“Why, they are all members of the Zhou family, what about Xiucai in the exam? Even if I am the head of the family, at most, I will be assigned to the manor, and the pastoral pleasure is also what the Great Confucian wants. Zhou Bai’s words were natural and full of openness. Zhou

Rui looked at Zhou Bai carefully, and always felt that this childhood playmate had changed a lot, and he actually stopped refuting for a while.

“Let’s go, go to the county town early to register, the process of Yamen is not simple.”
