Kong Laoer said that he should "eat without saying anything", but the Chinese in later generations are the people who like to talk about things at the dinner table in the world, and Qian Yuan went to the sea to do business in the past, and at the beginning he relied on good alcohol to grab a few orders.

Although this was in the middle of the Ming Dynasty, all scholars revered Confucius as a sage, but few people followed this rule.

Qian Zheng, an old-fashioned scholar, also talked endlessly at the dinner table, of course, he usually doesn't talk much, and today he is explaining to his nephew what he needs to pay attention to.

"Nanjing in August is not cold, and Beijing in February is ...... Basically, all the rooms are ventilated, don't bring more futon into it, be careful to be carried out, one of the rooms next door to me was frozen......"

"After you go in, let's see if there is a leak on the top...... Oil paper, oil umbrellas and the like had to be prepared, and it rained for the second time that year, but fortunately I nailed the oil paper in advance. ”

Qian Yuan ate without a bite, only nodding his head again and again.

"Alright." 6 said angrily on the side: "Let Yuan'er eat well...... You also took an exam, and you thought you had a lot of experience. ”

Qian Zheng was choked by this sentence and couldn't cry or laugh, he couldn't let Zhenchuan teach it...... He's experienced, but he's not afraid of getting caught in the mold!

Just three days ago, Gui Youguang came to visit Qian Zheng, this is the sixth time he went to Beijing to catch the exam, in history he has to wait, nine years later in Jiajing forty-four years before he was lucky to be in the top three Jinshi, when he was sixty-one years old.

The gray hair is full of economy, and the name of the master of science is spread all over the world, but there is no hope of entering the department......

"Don't eat too much, go back to bed early later, get up in the middle of the night to prepare, and eat some when the time comes." Qian Zheng looks very experienced, but most of what he says is common sense that almost everyone knows.

Qian Yuan tilted his head and smiled: "Uncle, don't be nervous, this subject is not good, then wait for another three years...... By the way, if I don't win, I'll go back to the southeast, and I guess my mother and little sister won't come to Beijing. ”

"What a frustrating thing!" 6's willow eyebrows were upside down, "Back then, Hetan Gongke was the county test, the government test, the hospital test, and then the township test, and the meeting test, all the way through the test, without stopping a step, and the outside world said that you Qian Zhancai Xiao Great-ancestor, don't lose face." ”

As soon as these words came out, the corners of Qian Zheng and Qian Yuan's mouths twitched.

Qian Yuanxiao's great-ancestor Hetan Gong, this word was circulated in Huating County as early as seven or eight years ago, on the one hand, it refers to the reputation of Qian Yuan's young talent, and on the other hand, it refers to Qian Yuan's scathing eloquence.

If others said this at the time, it would still have a mixed reputation, and now it is said that ...... Only Qian Yuan's mouth is being pointed to, although he has not yet entered the ranks, he has far surpassed his great-ancestor in terms of merit.

Qian Zheng stopped talking, and replaced it with 6's nagging, "Speaking of which, the palace exam is March 15, but the exam will end on February 15, and the list will be released at the end of February, and the Xu family will ...... Yuan'er, you have to give a letter! ”

"A few days ago, the Xu family sent someone to measure the size of Suiyuan, and they are all building furniture to prepare for the dowry, what are you going to dowry?"

"Our Qian family, the family background is not thick, people are officials for thousands of miles just for money, but your uncle refuses to even accept the usual ......"

Qian Yuan chewed a piece of meat and said vaguely: "Uncle has a clean breeze on his sleeves, and he will definitely be able to leave a name in history." ”

"The breeze goes with his sleeves facing the sky, so as not to speak short and long." Qian Zheng stroked his long beard and said with a smile: "How dare you compare with Yu Shaobao." ”

Qian Yuan was stunned, the idiom of the breeze on his sleeves came from Yu Qian?

"Okay, master, can you compare with Yu Shaobao?" 6 is not polite at all, "Although Yu Shaobao is a civil minister, he is also a civil and military officer, and he has the talent of the world, but he may be ...... in the future."

Qian Zheng was laughed at angrily, his nephew and the Yingxing sugar shop of the Taicang Wang family are all over the world, and the restaurant that has been open for less than two months is making money every day, where can it be compared with Yu Qian, who has nothing to lose.

These 6 clans didn't care, and changed the topic back, "Your uncle is a breeze with two sleeves, fortunately, I can still make some here, plus the restaurant has earned these days...... But this dowry is a bit too thin......"

Qian Zheng sneered and snorted: "I'm afraid that this dowry won't be able to be sent." ”

"What do you mean?" 6 looked at her husband, and then at her nephew, who was expressionless.

"The old lady of the Xu family invited you to incense twice, and Yuan'er found a reason for you to push it." Qian Zheng glanced at Qian Yuan out of the corner of his eyes, and continued to say: "Don't look at the fact that you continue to send this and that every day, but these days are all sent by restaurants, do you see him cooking?" ”

Qian Zheng has long felt that something is not right, since the first time he saw each other, Qian Yuan has been lukewarm to the Xu family, every time he wants to ask what is going on, his nephew always says wait, wait.

6 looked at Qian Yuan hesitantly, "Yuan'er ......"

Qian Yuan grinned at his uncle who was still guessing whether his guess was right or not, "Let's talk about it later." ”

"By the way, uncle, the Xu family wants to measure the size of Suiyuan, so let them measure it."

Qian Yuan didn't care about this, anyway, their Xu family measured it, and they could use it in the end.

Before preparing to do something, Qian Yuan always made various plans, and for such an important matter, he had listed at least five plans.

But first of all, the identity of Jinshi is a bargaining chip, and it is a bargaining chip with no low weight.

Only when you win the Jinshi can you participate in the game of power competition and benefit distribution, and only when you win the Jinshi can you officially step on this big stage.

Although he also has a predetermined plan for falling off the list, Qian Yuan still hopes to have the best of both worlds.

Because of Qian Yuan's indecisive attitude, Qian Zheng and his wife were really empty in their hearts, but in the place they were discussing, the hearts of all the parties involved were steady.

"It's best to get a jinshi, even if you don't win, you'll be twenty years old, and you can afford to wait." 6 whispered to his daughter in the inner room: "Just wait for the release of the list, if you don't win, the next day, if you win, wait for the palace to test the list." ”

"Got it." Xu Can nodded and smiled: "Whether you are a middle jinshi or not, whether you are a second-class jinshi or a third-class jinshi, whether you can be elected as a Shujishi or not, there is a difference." ”

"You, after you think about this kind of thing clearly in the future, you will talk about it, the second-class jinshi, the third-class jinshi...... Why don't you say a first-class jinshi? Zhang poked his daughter's forehead.

Xu Can pursed her lips and smiled: "My daughter has asked her father...... said that it was a pity that it was not Tang and Song. ”

"Huh?"

"If it was during the Tang and Song dynasties, relying on those few poems, maybe you would really be able to win a champion." Xu Can whispered: "My father has a staff member, the one surnamed Zhao...... I read those poems and said that even if they were placed in the Tang and Song dynasties, they were a temporary choice. ”

Of course, it was a momentary choice, and it was one of the best poems for the next few hundred years......

Xu Can's cheeks were slightly red, and then he said, "Still talking...... It's a good story. ”

These days, Xu Fu sent half a poem, or half a word, Qian Yuan made up for it with a wonderful pen, and sent a remnant poem and a remnant of the poem, and someone here in Xu Mansion naturally could make up for it.

Hearing this, Zhang's brows couldn't help frowning, his daughter, she knows, this is stupid, you really should have written it yourself!

After pondering in his heart, Zhang asked in a low voice: "That girl has been quiet these days, and she hasn't been looking for you?" ”

"I've been here, once every three or two days, drinking tea, and chatting." Xu Can thought for a while, "It's the same as before, it's nothing special." ”

Zhang's heart was vigilant, nothing special, it meant that there was a problem.

But Zhang doesn't care, the girl is fourteen years old, and it is no problem for her to stay for four or five years, and if she writes for three years, her daughter will be able to have children in the Qian family and gain a firm foothold.
