Chapter 254: Nie Yong's Sorrow!
The banquet dispersed, and Lu Zheng walked in a hurry.
Fan Duoduo returned to the boudoir, and his eyes looked at the night when Jinling was lit up.
Aunt Zhou slowly walked behind her and said, "Duoduo, you listen to Aunt Zhou's words, Lu Zheng is indeed a talented learner, but at the moment, the most important thing for you is this year's Oiran Dabi."
I've heard that there are a lot of girls who are secretly competing this time! The most striking thing is a girl named Li Qianqian, she just entered the Mirage Pavilion and was regarded as the top brand, this woman has a mysterious origin and is extremely popular.
This time, the Mirage Pavilion is ready to push her out to choose the Oiran, and it will definitely challenge you! At this moment, Duoduo, you must not take it lightly and let others take advantage of the loopholes! β
Fan Duoduo frowned slightly, and said, "Aunt Zhou, I know what you mean, don't you just want me to go to Lu Zheng Gongzi to help me?"
Hey, do you know who Lu Gongzi invited today? He invited Su Qing, he is Su Qing's protΓ©gΓ©! Su Qing wanted to win him over, but he politely refused, so Su Qing took the township test to talk about it.
The township test Enke is imminent, I think Lu Gongzi's situation does not seem to be very good, I am afraid it is extremely difficult for him to be distracted at the moment, besides, Lu Gongzi's mind is not in the painting boat Qinglou, can I beg him? β
Aunt Zhou was so angry that she only stomped her feet and said, "My aunt, are you really enchanted?" At present, Lu Zheng's fame and talent are at their peak, if you don't make a move at this time, and you are preempted by others when you turn around, you can't cry! β
"Duoduo, your Aunt Zhou and I are here, let me tell you, there is no cat that doesn't steal! Not to mention that Lu Zheng is just a small concubine of the Lu family, no matter how noble he is, he was born among the top wealthy lords, at his age, he has won such a fame, how can he withstand the temptation of the world?
What is Jinling? There are many powerful people here, drunk and golden, and the flowers are ......"
"Enough, Aunt Zhou!" Fan Duoduo shook his head lightly and said, "I understand what you said, but I have made up my mind!" If it is really as you said, Lu Gongzi was preempted by others, and I have no regrets! β
"Aunt Zhou, everything in this world needs to pay a price, yes, I like Lu Gongzi and admire his amazing talent, because of this, I am willing to bet that he is different from the customs, if I am wrong, I am willing to bear the consequences!"
Aunt Zhou was so angry that she only stomped her feet and said, "It's over, it's over!" This time it's over, you know? Duoduo, the reason why you have such a status today is all because of your name as the first Oiran.
If you don't cherish this name, once you lose it, you ......"
"Aunt Zhou, I'm tired! If it's really lost, it's lost, and it's a big deal for us to go back? I'm fed up with the prosperity and impetuousness of Jiangnan, didn't my brother say it in the letter? If we're really tired, we can go back! β
Aunt Zhou was stunned, but she didn't say anything after all, she turned around and walked out of Fan Duoduo's boudoir, her expression had become very serious.
"Quick, make an appointment with the son of Gu Huitang, Lu Qianqian, this girl, the person who came is not good, if she really catches Li Mu, then the situation is really dangerous!"
β¦β¦
Jinling, the news about the Enke Township Test has spread a lot recently.
The chief examiner of the Nanzhili Township Examination has been determined, and as Su Qing said, the emperor decreed that the chief examiner of the Nanzhili Enke Township Examination will be the chief examiner of the Nanguozi Priest Wine Guo Song. The deputy chief examiner is located in Pang Di, a bachelor of Nanhanlin. Guo Song and Pang Di are both well-known Confucians in the south of the Yangtze River, and their reputation and talent are enough to take on this role.
The scientific examination of the Dakang Dynasty is the big test of the country, and the whole country pays attention, especially in Jiangnan is the hometown of talents, and the autumn of the township test year is the first major event.
Ordinary students care about the township test, and the powerful families also care about the township test, especially for the Jiangnan power valve, how many children of their own clan can be on the list every time they take the township test, which is related to the rise and fall of a family. In addition, the scholars who were raised in the township examination will all be talents of the country in the future, and these talents are also the objects of the nets of various wealthy families.
As the saying goes, after learning to become a literary and martial artist, the goods and the emperor's family, the scholars of the ten years of cold window, after getting the fame, the first thing they faced was the network of the wealthy and powerful, and at this point, their lives have climbed to the peak.
Liuhe, Nie Yong finished pointing out Lu Zheng's text in the back house, and his heart was a little sullen.
Master Liang Shu leaned over and said, "Master, do you have anything on your mind?" β
Nie Yong sighed lightly and said, "Master, the news of the township examination has been spreading a lot recently, but I didn't expect Guo Song to really become the chief examiner!"
Brother Zheng is going to play next year, and I think he is not weaker than anyone else in terms of talent and learning, but ...... I want to win the top of the second list, but I am not sure! β
Liang Shu's brows furrowed slightly, the township test list is commonly known as the B list, also known as the Gui list, and the so-called top ranks refer to the top ten according to the practice of the Dakang Dynasty.
The first name of the township test is Xie Yuan, and the second to tenth place are called Yayuan, these ten candidates are eligible to participate in the sacrificial celebration sponsored by the Governor's Mansion of Zhili, worship the Confucian Temple, and walk the Lingxing Gate.
Jiangnan is the hometown of talents, the granary of the world, and a complex place of Dakang, and the game behind it is extremely fierce when he tries it in Qiuqiu Township, Liang Shu has lived so much, of course he knows what Nie Yong is worried about.
Lu Zheng is talented and famous, but in the township examination, whether he can achieve a good ranking is not enough. Where there is sunshine, there is shadow, the unspoken rules in the township examination have existed since the beginning of Dakang Liguo, and Lu Zheng needs to have more sufficient reasons to become the top ten in the examiner's heart!
Liang Shu didn't speak, because he knew that Nie Yong still had something to say, and sure enough, Nie Yong said: "I have had a vague reminder to Lord Zhan about Brother Zheng'er, but Lord Zhan has not reported this matter recently, what is the intention of the surname Zhan?" β
Liang Shu said: "My lord, these various relationships can be said to be very delicate, Lord Zhan is always calm and does not express his position easily, and he will definitely report to the prince for such a major event as the township test!"
For now, there is no other way but to wait! β
Nie Yong's face changed, and he said, "Hmph, are you waiting?" They can wait, I can't take Brother Zheng'er's future as a child's play, Brother Zheng'er, like me, is in an extremely bad situation.
I don't know how many pairs of eyes are staring at him this time, for him, if he can't be in the forefront, his situation will be even more difficult, the surname Zhan pretended to be confused, hum, it's really annoying to me. β
Nie Yong was angry, Liang Shu was also helpless in his heart, the relationship between Nie Yong and Zhan Tianqi was also very delicate now, Zhan Tianqi enabled Nie Yong, but he didn't treat him as a confidant.
The prince in the capital made a conscientious and unafraid posture, but he was unwilling to really tear his face with Dai Gao, and left himself a back door all the time, once the situation changed, he could ease relations with Dai Gao at any time, and this was also one of the values of Nie Yong's existence.
Politics is so dirty, there are no eternal friends, no eternal enemies, only eternal interests! Nie Yong's official position is not high, but he is very famous, and everyone in the capital knows that Nie Yong is Dai Gao's mortal enemy.
Zhan Tianqi used Nie Yong, not because of how talented Nie Yong really was, but because of Nie Yong's name! And he alienated Nie Yong because of this.
Liang Shu knew all about these things, but he couldn't talk about these subtleties casually, and Nie Yong also vaguely understood these subtleties in his heart, but he didn't easily mention these topics.
The atmosphere in the room was a little dull, and Liang Shu said: "My lord, you can rest assured, I am a brother Zheng, he must have thought about these things by himself."
Guo Songqi, although he is a Confucian in the south of the Yangtze River, is famous for his graceful and suave style, and likes to linger in the green building, and it is said that he has a good relationship with many Oiran in private!
He became the chief examiner, and secretly someone has raised the battle of the Oiran of the Qinhuai River this time, and it has been rumored in the market recently that this time the Oiran battle will be unprecedentedly fierce!
There is a girl named Li Qianqian, who suddenly rose, from being unknown a few months ago, now she has become the top brand of the Mirage Pavilion! Originally, there was a highlight of this matter, and now there is news of Guo Song, do you think, isn't this even more gimmicky?
It is said that Li Mu's genius has recently re-emerged from the mountain, and he has been in and out of the mirage for several days in a row! β
Nie Yongdao: "Qinglou? It is indeed difficult to explain the matter of painting the Qinglou, especially in the south of the Yangtze River.
Yesterday, Brother Zheng went to Qinhuai River and met Master Su Qing, and he said that Su Qing wanted him to go to Yingtian, and with Lord Su's character, it should not involve other meanings. When you say this today, I think about it, does Su Qing hope that Brother Zheng will also perform in this Oiran battle? β
Nie Yong and Liang Shu talked about Lu Zheng's affairs, but they didn't know the essentials and couldn't grasp the context of the matter. And at this time, Menzi came to report, saying that the Governor Zhan Tianqi was here.
Nie Yong was slightly stunned, suddenly widened his eyes, suddenly stood up, and said:
"Quick, get out and greet you!"
Nie Yong is waiting for Zhan Tianqi, I didn't expect to really wait, at this moment, there are not many important things in Liuhe, Zhan Tianqi came in person, it must be related to the township test.
Nie Yong's mind is very simple now, his situation is delicate, and many things are irreparable. But Lu Zheng is different, Lu Zheng is young and amazingly talented, taking advantage of this moment, Nie Yong wants to find a backer with enough weight for Lu Zheng.
Obviously, the prince behind Zhan Tianqi is the ideal candidate in Nie Yong's heart, if Lu Zheng can enter the eyes of the prince, Lu Zheng will definitely not be able to pass this township test.
And after the township test, after Lu Zheng entered Beijing, he was absolutely unimpeded, and with Lu Zheng's talent, he would definitely be able to emerge soon, as long as Lu Zheng entered the court, the world would become more and more vast......
