The sound of the gong came from far and near, and the roll call was loud: "In the year of Yihai, the seventh place in the Laizhou Mansion Road Examination, the high school of Master He Wenxian of Hefu——! ”

When He Wenxian took over the red list, Lai Steward arranged for his subordinates to reward each of the officials who reported the good news with one or two silver rewards. When the officials left happily, a deafening sound of firecrackers sounded outside the gate of Hefu. The gentry with status came to congratulate one after another, and the wedding tent had already been set up outside the He Mansion, and a flowing water table was set up for those villagers who did not have enough status.

After receiving a few guests perfunctorily, He Wenxian found a reason to leave, turned around and returned to the inner courtyard. sat down lazily next to Yun Xi, and commanded: "Sister Huan'er, please pour a cup of tea." ”

"Huh?" Seeing that He Wenxian's interest was not high, Yun Xi was a little strange, "Seventh Uncle, aren't you hit?" ”

"I haven't even gotten the capital of the Five Classics, what is there to celebrate?"

If it is an ordinary family, it must be a big celebration to be able to pass the exam. But for a high-ranking family like Hefu, as long as the examiner's article is passable, it is natural for him to be a showman.

Generally speaking, one-third of the students who can be admitted to Xiucai do have real talents, giving opportunities to poor students. One-third of them are local eunuchs, and the master of academic politics also wants officialdom favors.

As for the remaining third, some of them are well-known and desirable in the local area. Like the Four Great Talents, the Eight King Kongs or something. Well, the Eight King Kongs may be useful when Wu Xiucai is hired. But the others are basically local squires who are strong and strong, anyway, they are all stupid people with money, and the reason should be understood (this is also the reason why Dong Chuan's family made money in business at that time). The Great Grandmaster finally came out of the Hanlin Academy to order a term of academic administration, of course, he needed to solve their worries and let them concentrate on moral articles. Do you want them to drink the northwest wind empty-handed?

In addition, the hospital examination is generally not vague, and the supervision is not strict, so it is easy to operate in the dark. Therefore, as long as He Wenxian does not commit taboos in the article, this talent and fame are almost guaranteed. Because of this, He Wenxian has higher requirements for himself, hoping to get the five leaders, which has nothing to do with the five leaders who guess boxing, which is the top five in the college exam.

Therefore, hearing He Wenxian's complaint, Yun Xi and the others couldn't help but laugh: "Seventh Uncle, you are a little bit different from the leader of the Five Classics, and you are still not satisfied?" ”

"Not satisfied. Third sister-in-law, I want to make persistent efforts to get a better ranking in next year's township test! ”

To He Wenxian's childish words, Yunxi and the others were even happier: "Okay, Uncle Seventh is good, sister-in-law supports you." What are you missing? My sister-in-law will buy it all for you. ”

"I want to go to Jinan in advance and discuss articles with friends from all over the world!"

"Then after the New Year, I will also send a letter to the capital. Seventh uncle, don't worry, it's not that your sister-in-law won't help you, your father-in-law and mother-in-law don't nod your head in this matter, and your sister-in-law can't do it? But don't worry, I'll send someone to report the good news now, and I promise that there will be no delay. After the beginning of the year, there are still four or five months to leave the hometown, and you have enough time to play all over Jinan City. ”

"I'm not playing, I'm learning!"

"Okay, it's you who are motivated, it's my sister-in-law who is wrong. Giggle......"

“……”

At the same time, a fast horse ran out of the back door of Hefu and headed towards Jingjiazhuang......

……

At Jingfu Restaurant, negotiations have already begun. At this time, it was Qin Bai's turn to speak: "...... Say a thousand things and ten thousand, the root of everything is two things! If these two things are not solved first, let's just talk about flowers, and that's also a fart! Let's talk about the first thing first-how to solve the matter of Ni Da worm and stinging hair? ”

"What do you think should be done?" Ni Zhongyan asked.

"Of course, it's a shot and a half. Let Ni Daworm sever the document of severing the father-son relationship. What else can I do? ”

"Huh? Bai Er, you said lightly? Really learn that iron is not pulling out a hair? Is that all there is to it? ”

"Are the two of them related? What kind of nurturing grace? Ni Sishao, you didn't drink too much, did you? ”

"Good! You're not going to pull a dime, are you? Anyway, Nansanfang is in the hands of Lao Tzu. ”

"I don't care, huh? Then keep fighting! Your Ni family has the ability, and I will learn from you in the future. Let your little daughter-in-law and little girl of the Ni family be careful when you go out, you will catch a few to play if you have nothing to do, and maybe you can have a few more sons and grandchildren. ”

"I'm a muddy horse!"

“……”

Although the mutual scolding is fierce, in fact, this matter is not trivial at all. Under the persuasion of the people on the side, an agreement was finally reached with the Ni family - Ni Daworm would issue a document, and the relationship with the prickly hair would be cleared in the future. The mother and daughter, Ni Daworm said that he didn't want it, and he would be raised by Tingmao in the future. Thorn Mao took out another two hundred taels as compensation for Ni Da Worm.

The first thing was finally negotiated. Qin Bai continued: "There is also the Yamen who asked me to hand over eight people. Let me ask first, are the people from the Wang family here? ”

Today, the Wang family is also a child of the family, his name is Wang Yuanxin. In fact, Wang Yuanxin is only in his early 20s, and his ranking in the Wang family is also very low, so the reason why he was sent here is mainly because the Wang family is here to make soy sauce today. But Wang Yuanxin never thought that how could he suddenly be involved in his own family?

Raising his head suspiciously, Wang Yuanxin asked, "Bai Er, what do you have to say to our Wang family?" ”

Lighting a cigarette, Qin Bai smiled at Wang Yuanxin: "Just ask your Wang family if they are unruly." The rivers and lakes are in trouble, but your Wang family is particularly angry? I would like to ask all the friends here, is Jingjiazhuang such a rule? ”

A trace of panic flashed in Wang Yuanxin's eyes, and the surroundings became silent. Some things are nothing if they are not broken, but if they are broken, they cannot be put on the table. Jianghu people are generally very taboo to use the power of the government, even if it is the revenge of killing their father and wife, they can only use Jianghu means to retaliate. Therefore, in this matter, the Wang family did not have the slightest reason, and Qin Bai completely took over the reason.

However, the rules of the rivers and lakes still depend on strength. Therefore, after a short period of panic, Wang Yuanxin played a scoundrel: "Bai Er, our Wang family has no longer counted the big dogs and the people who are, those eight are all people in our family!" And I also heard that the Wang Gui steward of our family had begged you for mercy at that time, and you were still spicy? This account hasn't been settled with you yet, have you eaten the bear's heart and leopard gall? On the other hand, you dare to ask you to hand over someone? ”

"Hmph, the people of your Wang family are human, so what about my dead and injured brothers?"

"Yo, then you mean it's endless, right? There is a kind of you who have never handed over people, I want to see, how do you explain to the lord in the yamen? If you have the ability, you will kill officials and rebel? Wang Yuanxin has always kept in mind the advice of his family, as long as he is outside, he must not fall into the reputation of the Wang family. As a result, his breath became harder and harder, and the smell of gunpowder in the air became stronger.
