The East 'Gate' celebrated this walk, and Xie Sudeng felt that the whole person was empty, as if he had lost all his confidence! When she was disgusted by her grandfather, the whole person was awake because of great pain, and the situation gradually smoothed after meeting the East 'Gate' Qing, and the whole person sank into a happy state after getting married. After learning the hard way, I suddenly thought, "Why did I do this to him?" ”

She re-remembered the reason why she was accepted by her grandfather, and the reason why she was beautiful after she got married, and she was very painful but had to admit that all this was because of the East 'Gate' and not because of thanks! She had to admit that in her marriage with Dongmenqing, what was hidden under the oddity and love was the exchange of interests!

People are snobbish, Qinghuaxiang is no exception, everyone saw that she was abandoned by the East Gate, and the words and expressions gradually became dull, Xie Susu's sense of touch returned to sensitivity at this time, and she felt very uncomfortable!

Then, she learned from Mo'er that there was such a person as "Yue'e's sister-in-law" in Penghu, and she was even more shocked in her heart. The last time Dongmenqing went to Penghu was to see her! After knowing this, Xie Susu's heart was even cooler!

If Zhang Yue'e falls into this situation and has no mother to solve it, she may sink into self-abandonment and complaining, but Xie Susu is much more independent than Zhang Yue, and her fortune has fallen to the bottom, but it has 'aroused' her fighting spirit! Xin said: "Even if that Yue'e is good with her first, it is also a matchmaker, how can it be compared with my two marriages and Ming media's marriage!" My husband is just annoying me for a while, and when he comes back from Japan, I will be a little kinder, and he will definitely change his mind! ”

On this day, I suddenly reported that my uncle Xie Min had come to visit, Xie Susu was overjoyed, and Mo'er said: "Okay, okay, it's good that Young Master Sun is here!" Miss, you can tell Young Master Sun about this matter and let him stand up for you! ”

Xie Susu sank slightly, and thought: "My husband is not a person who is willing to obey hard, if I let my brother suppress him, I am afraid that it will backfire, not to mention that my brother may not be able to suppress him!" He drank and ordered Mo'er not to 'show' her tone about this matter, otherwise she would be driven back to the countryside, so scared that Mo'er didn't dare not silence.

East 'Gate' Kang is supervising the construction of Shihu City, I heard that Xie Min came to meet and hurried out to greet him, the two of them had a good impression of each other when they met, and East 'Gate' Kang Xin said: "Yuyao Xie is really worthy of its reputation!" Xie Minxue thought: "I don't want Lai Zhi to have such a younger brother!" ”

When he entered to meet his sister again, although Xie Susu was full of grievances, he didn't dare to 'show' half a point at this time, and forced a smile, just like when he was in Yuyao. But what are they brothers and sisters, Xie Susu's acting skills at this time are still tender, and the sorrow in the 'chest' can't be concealed after all, Xie Minxue asked why, Mo'er couldn't help it, and shouted: "Young Master Sun!" You don't know! Uncle, he ......"

Before he finished speaking, he was reprimanded by Xie Susu: "Presumptuous! Retire! "Mo'er rarely saw Xie Susu speak so violently, and she was scared and hurriedly retreated.

Xie Minxue was even more strange and asked his sister: "What's wrong with Lai Zhi?" Did he do something sorry for you? ”

"Nope." Xie Susu cried: "Mo'er is not sensible, brother don't pay attention to him." ”

Xie Min learned: "Mo'er has always been smart, how can she be ignorant? Don't lie to me! What's going on? ”

Xie Susu circled seven or eight times in the blink of an eye before he said, "Brother, do you have a way to keep him on the mainland and not go to sea?" Xie Minxue was stunned, and for some reason, Xie Susu cried: "I don't want him to go to sea, I want him to stay by my side more." ”

Xie Minxue couldn't help laughing when he heard this, and thought to himself: "What happened to my Dao, it turns out that she is running outside because of Lai Zhi." "Xie Minxue is the one with a wider vision among the children of the Xie family, and has been out of the sea twice, and has 'dealed' with the maritime merchants, and his knowledge is different from Xie Min's line, and he is not like his sister who fell into marriage blindness, and he understood the stakes of this marriage from the beginning, and then he sank a little 'groan', and said: "Sister, if you want to rely on it, it is impossible!" ”

Xie Susu hurriedly asked, "Why?" ”

Xie Min learned: "There are great benefits on the sea!" Rely on it to get rich! Besides, he already has a foundation at sea, how can he 'withdraw' himself? ”

Xie Susu said: "Is there no way to do it at all?" ”

Xie Minxue said with a smile: "If you go for profit, you will also return for profit!" If you can find greater profit than the sea, or if you can keep him on the mainland, otherwise it will be difficult to rely on tenderness alone. I think you should look at it, after all, he just went to Japan to make money, and he didn't come back. ”

Xie Susu sighed, but he was not swayed by Brother Nai's advice, and asked: "How deep is Qinglang's foundation on the sea, and how much profit can he make?" ”

Xie Min learned: "Now there are many bandits in the East China Sea, and these thieves don't even care about the edicts of the imperial court, but I can travel freely between Fujian and Zhejiang by relying on the tokens I gave in the past, what do you say is his foundation?" As for profits, don't you understand the wedding he '' for you? Our Xie family is also very knowledgeable, but have you seen the grand occasion when Lai Zhi greeted his relatives? Have you heard of it? It's a pity that those people in our family who don't eat the ancients always treat him as an upside-down 'plug' and 'door' and despise him, which is really ridiculous! ”

His words did not mean to stab Xie Susu, but Xie Susu was hurt, and he was ashamed in his heart, and said: "One son is wrong, and he loses all the games!" "If you lose this game, how can you get back in the next game?

After Xie Minxue left, Xie Susu calmed down and said: "That 'female' person is in the sea, and I am on the land, judging from the situation described by Mo'er, most of the husband's subordinates on the sea are towards the 'female' person, if I want my husband's heart to be towards me, in addition to guarding against my arrogance and restraining him with tenderness, I have to try to keep my husband on the mainland!" Because he remembered his brother's analysis, his heart kept circling: "Great profit, great profit!" Greater than the sea! But what? Suddenly, a flash of inspiration: "Yes! There is only money in the world, and there is only power to be greater than money! Although the husband is rich and powerful at sea, in the final analysis, he is just a businessman and a thief, and it is not the right way in the end! The official is righteous and steals the evil, and the scholar is respectful and the business is humble! If I can make my husband change his ways and return to his dignity, he will naturally not go to the sea again! Thinking of this, the plan has been decided: "The only way to return to righteousness and respect is the imperial examination!" ”

So he asked Mo'er to invite the East Gate Kang to drink tea, and the East Gate Qing once said to the East Gate Kang that his family did not need to see outside, and often pulled him through the hall to enter the room, but the East Gate Kang was completely different from his brother! Although Dongmenqing was affectionate to him, every time he went to the inner hall to see his sister-in-law, he was polite and self-controlled, and he did not exceed half of his duties.

After the tea of her uncle and sister-in-law, Xie Susu asked about the fame of the East 'Gate' celebration, she knew that the East 'Gate' celebration was a student, but she didn't know that the reputation of the East 'Gate' Qing had been removed after entering the sea, and the East 'Gate' Kang hurriedly said: "How dare we be an official when my brother enters the sea?" Fortunately, there is a grandfather in the shade, our brothers run inside and outside, Quanzhou Prefecture and County, know and do not know on behalf of the cover, so my brother's fame still exists today. ”

Xie Susu was born in a great eunuch family, and he knew very well about the imperial examination, and asked: "Kefujun has been at sea for three years, and he is expected to be unable to study in Fuxue, I wonder if the professor of Fuxue is surprised?" ”

East 'Gate' Kang Dao: "It's not a big deal, our East 'Gate' family has quite a few connections in Quanzhou, as long as you make some money, it's easy to 'mix' over." ”

Originally, the imperial examination in the Ming Dynasty was parallel to the school system, and the scholars who were students in the examination also needed to go to the prefecture, state, and county to study, and the instructors in the school managed and taught. This system was strictly implemented in the early Ming Dynasty, but with each new generation, the management was relaxed by three points, and today, many management regulations have become useless, and students are unruly and even 'adulterous' offenders. As long as he does not encounter a stubborn current official like Hai Rui, it is really easy to get through this matter by 'being 'confused' and 'mixed' in this matter.

Xie Susu bowed his head and said: "In this way, my husband can participate in this big competition." ”

She said that the big competition, is the township test, Daming Township test three years a subject, every child, noon, Mao, unitary year held, because the time is held in the autumn, so it is also called the autumn festival, the first game on the ninth day of August, the second game on August 12, the third game on August 15, three down, the winner is the lifter, eligible to go to Beijing to participate in the test! It was the year of Bingwu, and there was a township test.

Dongmen' Kang was very surprised when he heard this, and said in surprise: "Sister-in-law, what do you mean by that? ”

Xie Susu said: "I hope that my husband can participate in this autumn festival and come back with one lifter!" If you take the entrance examination and the palace examination again, even if you can't be the champion, you must at least be a jinshi and enter the official career seriously! My Xie family is like a cloud, if my husband is just a student, no matter how rich I am, I will never be able to raise my head when I return to Yuyao and Ningning! ”

Dongmen' Kang didn't dare to laugh at her on his face, but he laughed at her whimsical in his heart, and said: "Sister-in-law, my brother didn't work the Bagu article, although he passed the boy's test back then, but he was also a little reluctant. Besides, he's gone to Japan now, and it's going to be winter when he comes back, so it's too late. My sister-in-law is about to ask my brother to take the exam, so I will wait for three years. ”

Where can Xie Susu wait for three years? insisted on refusing, and said: "I also know something about this scientific examination, and I don't have to take the test myself." ”

East 'Gate' Kang was shocked: "What did my sister-in-law say! ”

"You know what I say!" Xie Susu said: "Although the rules of the township test site are strict, they are not as good as in the Hongwu and Yongle years, as long as the joints are suitable, it is not that no one has done it!" It's not like no one has ever made it! With the financial resources of the husband, the great shade of the Xie and Lin families, and the ability of the Dongmen' family to be the political secretary in Fujian, I don't believe that it can't be done! It's not about whether you can or not, it's about whether your uncle is willing or not! ”

In fact, the East 'Gate' family had prepared for this matter, but three years ago, the situation changed dramatically, so it was not carried out, although the East 'Gate' Kang was not very willing to do this, but when he met a sister-in-law who knew the trick of this matter, it was difficult to fool 'it', and said: "The joints should be opened, and it is not difficult for the officials of the inner curtain and the outer curtain to 'spend' money." It's just the grandmaster's side, but it's hard to control! "The grandmaster he is talking about is the chief examiner.

But this couldn't bluff Xie Susu, she didn't want to think about it, so she said: "Then please uncle go and open the inner curtain and the outer curtain first!" The grandmaster will wait for the appointment to find a way, and when my uncle can't do it, I ask my brother to find a way! ”

The East 'Gate' family wants to participate in the township test, which is also in Fuzhou, and the East 'Gate' family is running errands in Fujian but has to go to the Xie family for help, so won't the East 'Gate' family and Lin Xiyuan's face be lost? At the moment, Dongmen' Kang didn't mention this anymore, and said: "It's okay on the sect master's side, as long as you don't meet someone who is too careful and too stubborn, it is expected to be fine." It's just that this *** person is difficult. ”

Since you want to invite a gunner, you are invited to be a master of the field, so that you will be successful! However, the matter of winning the move itself is extremely profitable, and if he has the ability to win the lift, unless there is a special reason, he will not easily become a gunman without taking the test. In addition, the appearance of the gunman should not be too different from the deity, because the test paper must be filled in the year, in terms of the appearance of the east 'gate' celebration, the description of the year on the test paper is roughly "in the body, the face is white, and there is no need", although it is very general, but it is not possible to find a person like Dai Tianchou to take the test, otherwise it will be difficult for the officials outside the department to do it. Therefore, it is easy to cheat in scientific research, but it is difficult to hire a gunman.

Xie Susu glanced at Dongmen' Kang twice, and said, "Uncle and husband are the same age, why don't you ask your uncle to do it for you?" ”

Dongmen' Kang smiled bitterly: "Sister-in-law thinks too highly of me!" Although my brother and I passed the same subject as a boy, in the past three years, I have already abandoned my career like my brother. And my qualifications are mediocre, even if I study hard day and night for the past three years, I don't have the confidence to win - if it weren't for that, I wouldn't wait for my sister-in-law to remind me, and I would go to the township exam. ”

Xie Susu said: "It's just for my uncle to go for a walk, if you really want to be hit, you can use the method of 'bee honey collection'." ”

The so-called "bee collecting honey" is one of the methods of cheating in the imperial examination. In the Ming Dynasty, there was a transcription office, which was responsible for transcribing the candidate's ink roll with a red pen after the exam, copying it into three copies, and then sending it to the examiner for review - so the examiner read the text copied by the transcriber, not the candidate's own handwriting. The transcription office is set up to prevent the examiner from cheating, and to promote the students who recognize their own 'protégés' by handwriting.

The approximate method is to pre-select a person who is 'fine' and has eight shares of knowledge, as a transcriptionist, and before entering the room, the black ink and the secretly printed scroll are hidden in the underground of the transcription room by the 'door' room, and when the target volume arrives, the transcriptionist will refer to the excellent works in the examination papers, synthesize the best parts of each volume, and write another ink scroll, and then transcribe it into three copies of the Zhu scroll, and the original volume will be burned. This method is called "bee honey collection".

Dongmen' Kang listened to Xie Susu even understand this, and he couldn't use other words to prevaricate for a while, but his face was 'revealed' and difficult to 'see'.

Xie Susu was stunned when he saw this, and said abruptly: "Uncle won't help, just say it!" Why bother? When it really doesn't work, Su Su can only be easy to hairpin and take the exam on behalf of her husband! It's just that the husband treats his uncle so kindly, but the uncle repays his brother so much, which is chilling! ”

Dongmen' Kang*** However, he had no choice but to say: "Sister-in-law is angry, I will arrange this matter, but whether my brother can go to high school in Qiufu depends on luck." ”

Xie Susu turned his sorrow into joy and said, "This is natural." To do or not to do is in people, to succeed or not to be in the sky! However, my husband has good luck, and I have a hunch that he will be able to go to high school today! When he comes back from Japan, he will not be a mere student, but a man! Next year, I will go to the capital again, take a jinshi back, and in the future, I will be an official and a eunuch, and I will be honored without limitless, so I don't need to make a living and adventure at sea again! ”
