Chapter 701: Can't be tried
A hundred people were selected for the written examination of the Military Aircraft Department, and Zuo Mingde, Zuo Mingjing, and Song Laner went to see it in person when the list was released, and the three of them were indeed on the list.
As for the others, Zuo Mingde also glanced at it, and was a little surprised to find that the Shi Gong he met that day was not on the list.
Then he remembered that Shi Gong had not repaid the silver he had borrowed...... Of course, it doesn't matter. It's a pity that one talent.
- This exam is said to be a non-door, and there must still be some insiders.
Thinking like this, Zuo Mingde was also a little worried about whether he would be excluded by Xia Xiangwei.
Then, he looked down again, and saw a few acquaintances.
Bai Jianzheng, heh, Bai Yizhang's son, a fool.
Ding Xiangyang, huh? Lu Zhengchu's student, this is a strong opponent......
After the written test, the Military Aircraft Department will conduct another 'political and metallurgical review' of these 100 people, which is quite puzzling. But Zuo Mingde can probably understand.
"It's like a temple test, but it's mainly about our virtues. This time, there is no regulation on how many people will be screened, as long as they are loyal to Da Chu and have no bad deeds. The review was followed by an art of war drill to determine the final staff officer. He explained to Zuo Mingjing and Song Lan'er, "We are all from scholarly families, so you don't have to worry about this so-called censorship. ”
At the end, he added: "Women seeking officials are always unreliable, you have also been here, and after the review, don't go to the final art of war drills, right?" ”
"Why not?" Song Lan'er said: "Also, why is it unreliable for a woman to seek an official?" ”
Zuo Mingde was quite helpless about this......
The next day was the day of the review, and what was somewhat unexpected was that the review was not presided over by Dong Jihe and Xia Xiangwei, but by Yao Wenhua, Song Xin, and Song Li led a group of Wenchen.
Zuo Mingde thought about it for a while, and then he also understood, although the Military Aircraft Department was formed by Wang Xiao, but on the surface it is still an official of the current imperial court, if everything is decided by Wang Xiao's party, if the elected people are rebellious or have bad character, it is inevitable that civilian officials will attack them in the future.
Of course, no matter who comes to censor it, it will be okay for Zuo Mingde.
He walked into the hall and answered a few questions, and several civil servants looked at his information, and the examination was completed quite smoothly.
When she came out again, she saw Song Lan'er poking her head out of the carriage behind her and looking around.
"What about Mingjing? Not out yet? ”
"yes? Song Lan'er said: "It's been a long time." ”
Zuo Mingde frowned slightly? I thought that there were not many women on the list this time, only four or five people in total? Isn't it censored with men? Instead, there is a female official in the palace alone to answer the record, why does it take so long?
~~
"This Qin Xiaozhu girl? The tiger girl of the gate, with a noble character? There's no doubt about it, right? Yao Wenhua said slowly? Hand the file to another official.
An official was stunned for a moment, stroked his beard and said: "But, the lower official heard that she once ran rampant in Beijing?" Gathering crowds to fight, gambling and extortion......"
"The Qin family is full of loyalty." Song Xin exclaimed? Said: "Lord Yao, there is no doubt about the lower officials. ”
"There is no doubt about the lower officials." Xia Xiangwei said.
As if he hadn't heard the official speak.
"Okay." Yao Wenhua said: "Tell her to come to participate in the art of war drill in three days." ”
"Yes......"
"My lord, please take a look at this."
The clerk handed Yao Wenhua another copy of the file.
Yao Wenhua rubbed his eyes, looked at it for a while, and muttered, "I'm afraid this won't work...... Let's take a look, all of you. ”
The scroll passed in a circle? Song Xin and Song Li glanced at each other, their faces a little embarrassed.
"After getting married? My husband is dead, and I only keep the festival for a year? How can you come out to ask for officials, this is a desperate plan. "Yao Wenhua said? The word 'I'm afraid' has been replaced by 'desperate'.
It's not that he doesn't give Zuo Jing face. The water spilled by the daughter who got married? The woman on the file is now the granddaughter-in-law of the He family? The He family and Huaiyuanhou do not deal with each other, this is a well-known thing......
Song Xin and Song Li wanted to say something, but the reason given by Yao Wenhua was indeed difficult to refute. The two of them fell silent.
Xia Xiangwei said: "What Lord Yao said is good, but at this time when the family and country are in danger, there are many dead and wounded. If everyone goes to observe the festival, who will contribute to the court? This military aircraft department assessment is to 'meritocracy'......"
"The ministers of the DPRK and China still have to worry about the funeral, have you heard of who participated in the scientific expedition during the mourning period?" Yao Wenhua replied.
He looked at it and saw that Dong Jihe was silent, and he knew in his heart that Dong Jihe was also on his side. became more and more vigorous, and said: "Didn't Lord Xia see that she was from a famous family, so she was so tolerant?" You know, Master Hou also said that this election should be done equally......"
Xia Xiangwei was still talking, Dong Jihe stopped him, turned his head and asked, "What do you think of the two Lord Song?" ”
Song Li lowered his head and pondered for a while.
In his heart, he thought that it was not a good thing for a woman to seek an official, and he wished that his daughter would also be taken out. But in fact, when it came to the face of Miss Zuo, she was a little hesitant.
Then, he caught a glimpse of Song Xin marking the word 'de' on the table with his finger.
Song Li understood.
Even if Zuo Mingjing passes this time, it will be difficult to really win. She came to the exam to take the exam and was also a joke of the children's family, and she was deposed, one is less reminiscent of the marriage of the Zuo He family, and the other is to sell Old Man Yao a face, and then it is easy to help Zuo Mingde......
~~
Song Lan'er waited outside for a while, and finally saw Zuo Mingjing come out, and she couldn't see anything on her face.
"How? Have you passed? ”
"Let's go first."
The carriage drove slowly, and Song Lan'er asked again: "Have you passed?" ”
Zuo Mingjing shook his head.
"Huh?" Song Lan'er was very annoyed, and immediately wanted to jump out of the carriage, shouting: "I'll go find that old horseman theory!" ”
"Song'er, don't go ......"
The two tugged for a while, and Song Lan'er saw that Zuo Mingjing was about to cry, so she let go of the idea of theorizing again, and comforted Zuo Mingjing: "It's okay, if you don't go to be the staff officer of this broken military aircraft department, I won'......t take the test."
"yes, nothing." Zuo Mingjing replied softly.
She clenched her dossier tightly in her hand and no longer spread it out.
But the words 'women's morality is at a loss' on it have been pierced in her heart like a knife......
~~
Qin Xiaozhu came over today and also ran into Zuo Mingjing.
"It's good that you're on the list, too." She patted Zuo Mingjing's shoulder and said with a smile: "We just want the world to know that women can also come out to be officials and defend their families and the country." ”
After some bold words, Zuo Mingjing seemed to be touched at that time, and Qin Xiaozhu felt that he was inspiring and quite happy.
After a while, Qin Xiaozhu passed the political trial, waved his hand to Zuo Mingjing again, and said, "I'll go first......"
Out of the tribute courtyard, she stepped on the horse and walked towards the prefect's yamen, on the way she also heard someone talking about the battle of Zhangqiu, in addition to the praise of Wang Xiao, there are also many people talking about how Qin Xuance, who was born to defeat Tang Jie, how the general army of Qin Xuan Ce was able to fight well.
“…… said that it was too late and that it was fast, Tang Jie was about to kill His Majesty, and suddenly a general rushed from the ground, more than nine feet long, and his waist was like a barrel, so that a rainstorm pear flower spear, a shot stabbed, and it was in the back of Tang Jie's waist......"
There was a loud cheer from a teahouse, and Qin Xiaozhu laughed secretly in his heart when he heard it: "Hey, the most useless thing is that kid." ”
She turned her head back, and the next moment, she looked at the teahouse again, and saw a person standing by the window on the second floor, clearly looking at herself.
- Niang Xipi, what do you see...... Hey, this guy is so familiar...... Yes?!
Qin Xiaozhu got off the horse without saying a word, ran straight up to the second floor of the teahouse, and when he looked again, the figure of the person just now was gone......
"Xiao Er, where is the person here just now?!"
"Auntie, I don't know."
"Kill Cai, did Lao Tzu scold you? Why do you call me my aunt ......?"
