"What the master said is that Meng Fan can only be a showman in this life! Without the master as your backer, he is nothing.....

The butler knew that he had said the wrong thing and hurriedly slapped his face.

"It's important to do the right thing! Meng Fan's life and death have nothing to do with us in the future! The long-term business over there is the right thing!"

Gao Yan frowned and waved his hand.

He really didn't want to have anything to do with that ex-son-in-law anymore.

"Yes, sir!"

The butler bowed and stepped back.

It didn't take long for Mrs. Wang to come out of the inner hall,

"Master, I heard that if Xie Yuan is able to win this time, there is a possibility that he will be directly sealed as an official of the Nine Grades, is it true or false?"

The hope on her face was no less than that of Gao Yan.

According to the scientific system, there is a meeting test after the township test, and the palace test, even if you win, it is only a backup for officials, and you can't go directly to the post, you need to wait for the opportunity.

"I heard that this time it was His Majesty's hand-picking, and Xie Yuan could directly participate in the examination as Congjiupin! It was the first time in many years! In this way, after understanding Yuan in the long run, even if he failed the examination, it would not prevent him from entering the court as an official. ”

Gao Yan secretly clenched his fists.

It was precisely because of this that he took the steward to take the lead in this matter.

It's done, the Gao family will undoubtedly usher in another take-off,

He was promoted to the sixth rank, and his son was promoted to the ninth rank, and his son-in-law was ..... The embarrassed Meng Fan was also expelled from the city, which was perfect!

"Master, then do you want to talk to Ru Xue again, look at General Han's side....."

"Wait and see! Let's see who is going to preside over this expedition!"

“...... too"

As everyone knows, just when Gao Yan was planning to take care of his son,

In Chang'an, Kyoto, there were more than a dozen long queues out of Suzaku Gate one after another.

These teams were guarded in front and soldiers in the back, accompanied by two carriages in the middle, and looked very formidable.

That's right, in the carriage sat the official of the Ministry of Rites, who was responsible for presiding over the scientific expeditions of various states.

Out of the Suzaku Gate, ten teams went in all directions, and one of the teams went in the direction of Qizhou.

It didn't go far before two voices came from the carriage of this team,

"My lord, your ancestral home is Licheng, Qizhou, and this time you will go back to preside over the scientific expedition, and you can meet your father and fellow villagers..."

Although my father is from Licheng County, the imperial examination is for the country's selection of talents, and there is no room for sloppiness!"

In the carriage sat a young official in his twenties, and a middle-aged official was waiting next to him.

This person is in charge of presiding over the etiquette department of the Qizhou Township Examination, and Fang Xuanling, a member of the five products.

His father, Fang Yanqian, lived in Licheng in his early years and was also an official of the Great Sui, so the little official would have this saying.

In the Great Sui, the official system was three provinces and six ministries, each with four divisions.

Among them, the Ministry of Rites has the Department of Ceremonies, the Priest of the Ancestral Hall, the Department of Host and Guest, and the Department of Fine Food.

The chief officer of each division is Langzhong of the five grades, and the adjutant of the five grades is called the outer lang.

This Fang Xuanling can achieve the position of a foreigner at a young age, and his career can be described as bright.

Although he only has five grades, he is a Beijing official after all, and even the assassin of Dangzhou will give some face when he goes out to do business.

"My lord, actually..."

The carriage was bumpy, and the little official stopped talking.

"What's wrong? ”

Glancing at the little official, Fang Xuanling frowned.

"Before leaving, someone greeted the middle of the court, I hope to bring you a message!"

"Say hello?"

"Among the Xiucai who participated in the Qizhou Township Examination this year, there is a person named Gao Changyuan, who is the son of Gao Yan, the county commander of Licheng County, and the nephew of the prime minister Gao Gong!"

"In addition, he has two brothers-in-law who are not simple, the eldest brother-in-law is Sima Yuntian, the fourth grade of the Beihai Thorn Shi, and the second brother-in-law Wu Zhe is the nephew of Han Baohu, the general of Shangzhu State, and he is also a partial general of the first and fifth grades, so I hope that the first place in the township test can be given to this person...."

The official's tone was ordinary, as if he was talking about an extremely ordinary thing.

After all, whether it is Enke or Changke, this kind of thing is very common, and it would be strange if such a family situation as Gao Chang did not say hello.

He worked as an official in the Ministry of Rites all the year round, and he was also the best messenger for those who wanted to serve officials.

"High and long-term?"

What the little official didn't notice was that when he was halfway through his words, there was an extremely disgusted look in Fang Xuanling's eyes.

The voice gradually cooled down.

"My lord, it is estimated that someone will come to find the adult after beating Qizhou, and the subordinates know that the adult is upright and selfless, but this matter has to be taken to heart, after all, this prime minister is involved.....

"Stop this matter, let's talk about it at the place!"

When the little official spoke again, Fang Xuanling's face was already extremely impatient, and he closed his eyes directly after saying that.

"Alas!"

Seeing this, the little official sighed,

Fang Xuanling's temperament is well-known in the Ministry of Rites, and now he sees Qizhou's side, is there anyone who can say anything to move him.

......

Licheng County, it was past noon, in front of the Meng Mansion,

Meng Fan looked at Jia Yun's departing back and let out a long sigh of relief.

This time, Jia Yun took two thousand taels of silver from the mansion and went to the counties of Qizhou to buy carpentry shops, and the system had already given a hint, saying that his silver was left with two hundred and ten taels and twenty wen.

"A lot of silver has finally been spent, as long as Cheng Biting Jin recruits some more slaves and guards to come back, the silver can be spent!"

Talking to himself, Meng Fan's face looked much better than before.

He has a lot of confidence in Cheng Yanjin, since this guy has the ability to become a hero of Lingyan Pavilion, he will naturally not be bad.

At least two hundred taels is no problem,

In this way, in the next three months, as long as the heavenly fortune is no longer a demon,

Spending the rest of the money is already ironclad.

"Childe, Childe, I'm back!"

Coincidentally, Meng Fan had just finished talking to himself, turned around and walked into the door with his front foot, and Cheng Jin's voice came from behind him.

"Coming back?"

Looking back, Meng Fan looked at it, and a smile suddenly appeared on his face.

I saw that Cheng Yanjin had already appeared in the distance of the mansion with about thirty young men and women at this time.

Especially the man and woman who followed Cheng Yanjin, both in spirit and pace, were by no means ordinary slaves.

"Nursing home, it seems that it must have cost a lot of money this time!"

Just counting the heads, the introduction fee of two taels per person is sixty taels, plus the salary, perfect!

"Come on, our Meng Mansion has arrived, everyone has seen it first..... No, I've seen the young master!"

Meng Fan was happy, and Cheng Yanjin was even more grinning at the moment, looking forward to it, waiting for his son-in-law's praise.

After all, this recruitment not only successfully completed the task assigned to him, but also saved more than 100 taels of silver for his son-in-law, which can be said to be a big profit.

"I've seen the young master!"

A group of slaves saluted.

"Everyone, please ......"

After the ceremony, when Meng Fan wanted to ask him how many taels of silver he had spent, Cheng Yanjin took the lead and brought the man and woman led by him to Meng Fan.

"Fan Hu, Fan Qing, you are so good to introduce yourself to your son. ”
