Qi Run asked hesitantly: "But Liu Yucai and Master Liu of the C-word class?" ”

"Uncle is discerning, it's just that the school where the little nephew is located is the C-character class, and as for Liu Fuzi's name, the little nephew doesn't know."

"Well, although this Liu Yucai is a bit sour, he can be regarded as a celebrity, and it is not too bad that you can worship him to practice academics, this autumn is coming, I don't know if the virtuous nephew has the heart to participate? If you miss it this year, the next autumn festival will not be until three years away. ”

Liu Mingzhi is a little weak when he mentions this, he doesn't have a few pounds and taels in his heart, if you want to say that calligraphy has a few years of foundation, you can see it, but this imperial examination is a black eye.

Since before the Qin Dynasty, the way to obtain officials was to adopt the Shiqing Shilu system, and later gradually cited military merits to be knighted.

In the Han Dynasty, the imperial court elected officials to use the probation system and the levy system to promote civilian talents, the former was recommended by local officials to have both ability and political integrity, and the talents recommended by the prefecture and county were Xiucai, because the Han Dynasty and the Qin Dynasty implemented the county system, so the talents recommended by the county were filial piety.

As for the Wei and Jin dynasties, the selection of officials was Jiupin Zhongzheng, and specific officials assessed talents according to their birth and morality, but due to the strong strength of the clan, the selection of officials in Jiupin Zhongzheng gradually became dim.

As a result, there is no cold door in the upper grade and no scholar clan in the lower grade, which not only blocks the passage of folk materials, but also allows the scholars to control the candidates for the imperial court.

Therefore, the birth of the imperial examination system greatly faired the way out for civilians to enter the officialdom, and there were more than 50 kinds of permanent subjects in the imperial examination, such as Xiucai, Mingjing, Jinshi, etc.

Liu Mingzhi knew this, but he didn't know anything about the content of the exam.

"Don't hide it from my uncle, the little nephew should be involved in the autumn of this year, and my father has already ordered the little nephew."

"It's so good, I don't know if the virtuous nephew can be sure of the move?"

Liu Mingzhi was stunned for a moment, and laughed twice: "Uncle said that he was joking, but he still didn't know the difficulty of the test questions, and the little nephew was not absolutely sure that he would dare to say that he would definitely win, so he could only go all out." ”

Seeing Liu Mingzhi like this, and then thinking of all the things that Song Shan collected about Liu Mingzhi's past, Qi Run couldn't help but look at Liu Mingzhi, no matter how he looked at it, it didn't look like the unicorn mentioned by the emperor.

Although Liu Mingzhi's performance today is polite, he always feels that there are some shortcomings, which is very strange but can't be said.

"In this case, then the virtuous nephew has to study more, although now the virtuous nephew has a talent and fame, but this person and the talent are a big moat, and the identity is naturally very different, and the only way to study together is to study diligently, and the virtuous nephew must not be negligent."

"The little nephew must follow his uncle's teachings, and on the day he returns home, he will watch the lights three times, and read at night."

"The child Qi Liang visited his father, his father, the child heard that the man surnamed Liu came to visit, where is this person? The child wants to avenge the second sister. ”

A handsome young man of about sixteen or seventeen years old walked into the front hall angrily, shouting words to teach Liu Mingzhi a lesson.

When Liu Mingzhi heard the name Qi Liang, the image of the African boy subconsciously appeared in front of his eyes, Liu Mingzhi secretly said in his heart, it wouldn't be such a coincidence, Qi Liang would be Qi Yun's brother?

However, seeing this immature, white and pure Qi Liang, Liu Mingzhi breathed a sigh of relief, the Qi Liang in front of him was not only not black, but white and unharmed like a girl, thinking that it was just a misunderstanding with the same name and surname.

However, Liu Mingzhi was embarrassed again, because Qi Liangkou claimed that he was a gentleman and wanted to find Liu Mingzhi who ruined his sister's innocence to take revenge.

Future brother-in-law, I want to say that touching your sister is a misunderstanding of your faith? Liu Mingzhi thought so in his heart, but he didn't dare to say so, otherwise not only Qi Liang would be furious, but he was afraid that his father-in-law would also whip himself out of Qi Mansion in the future.

Touched his nose embarrassedly, so he had to pretend to be deaf and dumb, and he didn't hear the words of his future brother-in-law, so he picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea to ease the atmosphere.

Qi Run saw his son rushing directly into the lobby without manners, his face was a little unbearable, you called Liu Mingzhi a gentleman, where is your performance good, ignoring the elders' hospitality, and directly ramming the hall is not only rude, but also rude.

Qi Run thought about Liu Mingzhi's every move since he entered the mansion, and then looked at his son, but felt that Qi Liang was not as good as Liu Mingzhi who knew etiquette and etiquette, or how to say that other people's children were good, all fathers were the same, his son was good and bad in a thousand ways, and others were bad in a thousand ways, and one was good to cover up all the ugliness.

snorted coldly: "The kid is rude, Liu Gongzi is a guest when he comes to the door, treat the guest like this, you are full of poetry and books to learn from the dog, and the little king and the eight calves are cleaning you up at night." ”

Liu Mingzhi snorted, sure enough, one side of the water and soil raised the other party, and he was also from Jinling, and the tone and words of the scolding were not the same.

Qi Liang glanced indignantly at Liu Mingzhi, who was sitting on the side, with a fire in his eyes: "Dad, this gentleman ruined his sister's innocence in the smoke and rain pavilion, and everyone in Jinling knew it, how else does my sister behave, I have to teach him a lesson today." ”

Qi Run's face was red, his eyes were bloodshot, and he glared at Qi Liang viciously: "Rebel, you stop me, immediately roll me to the ancestral hall and kneel, if you don't let you get up, you will kneel to death for me." ”

Qi Liang looked at his father dissatisfied: "Dad, you ......"

Qi Run said to Song Shan next to him: "Song Shan, press down the son and let him kneel in the ancestral hall, no one can plead, whoever pleads will kneel with him." ”

Song Shan looked at Qi Liang, who was as if he was drunk and his face was red: "Young master, don't let the little one be embarrassed, the master is angry, don't be tough." ”

Qi Liang flicked his sleeves and followed Song Shan out of the hall angrily.

"Song Shan, do you say that my father is such a father? My daughter was bullied, and she actually got together with that person, drank tea and chatted, and actually helped outsiders talk, and asked me to go to the ancestral hall to kneel, isn't it that the older I get, the more confused I become. ”

Song Shan sighed: "Young master, this time you are really wrong, anyone can discuss the scandal that happened in the second lady in the Yanyu Pavilion in private, but your Qi family can't say it clearly, and you can't discuss it privately, the second lady is a big taboo in the world as a daughter disguised as a man and steals the land of fireworks and willow lane, and the lord never mentions this matter because he wants this matter to disappear secretly, you say this matter in front of the guests today, it is the reputation of the second miss that is bad." ”

Qi Liang was stunned for a moment, and when he recalled Song Shan's words, his face became more and more ugly.

The reason why Qi Run is angry is because of these, who doesn't know that the second lady of the Qi family visited the Qinglou in private, but because of the face of Lord Shi, she can only discuss a few words in private, although Liu Mingzhi said that he defeated Qi Yun's innocence, but if it is in other places, it will naturally be criticized and written, and the bad will be bad for this kind of thing that happened in the Qinglou.

In this era, it is a matter of course for men to visit the Qinglou, it is a matter of course, and it is against the women's way to go to the Qinglou, and others dare not talk about it.

Liu Mingzhi laughed twice: "Yue..... Uncle, if the little nephew comes back another day. ”

When this kind of thing happened, Qi Run naturally didn't want to keep Liu Mingzhi to stay, and nodded lightly: "The young son is unreasonable, don't take it to heart, the door of my Qi Mansion is open to the virtuous nephew at any time." ”

"Thank you uncle for such a little nephew, and the little nephew will retire."

"The old man will not be sent far away, and the virtuous nephew must not neglect his studies."
