But President Wei's conversation was mobilized by everyone, and he couldn't stop chatting with his neighbors.

After lunch, I invited everyone to dinner at the President's Mansion.

Then, in the evening, everyone gathered under the kerosene lamps in all directions of Weijiazhuang to sing and dance.

"It looks like I can't walk today, how can I hurry when it's dark?" Wu Xuexia said with a smile.

Wei Bao also smiled: "Yes, while saying that there is not enough time, it is delayed." ”

Wu Sanfu said with a smile: "I don't care about this day and half a day, Zhun Bao will be able to take the test in time, anyway, we will take the test when we go!" ”

Wu Sanfu is a lively character, which is the same as Wei Bao.

And Wu Sanfu doesn't have a heart or lungs, in fact, he doesn't care if he takes the test or not, as long as he has fun every day, with Wei Bao, Wu Sanfu can play like this all year round, and he is very happy.

Wei Bao smiled slightly, looking at the campfire, under the kerosene lamp, there were people singing and dancing and laughing everywhere, and he was sincerely happy.

"That's the life I want." Wei Bao said softly: "If I have a choice, I just want to be a little ordinary person in such an environment, I don't have to think about anything every day, and I don't have to face those bad things." ”

Wu Xuexia smiled: "This is a big sentence, if you were just a small ordinary person, you wouldn't say this." No one is born to be mediocre, but suffers from not having a chance. ”

Wei Bao glanced at Wu Xuexia appreciatively: "That's true!" I used to be miserable and didn't have a chance! ”

Wu Xuexia looked left and right, and then whispered in Wei Bao's ear: "Actually, don't panic about relying on Jinshi, when we get to Beijing, we will hand over silver to Wei Gonggong, my father gave me 100,000 taels of silver tickets, which are specially used to bribe Wei Gonggong, my father said, if Wei Gonggong can't get the Jinshi fame, others will have no choice." You also take out 100,000 taels of silver, a total of 200,000 taels of silver, and send it to Grandpa Wei, whether this can be done depends on Grandpa Wei. So, don't worry. ”

Wei Bao nodded, he had already used this trick, so he whispered to Wu Xuexia about the previous bribery of Wei Zhongxian and Wang Tiqian, and then said: "It's useless, Wang Tiqian's father-in-law said, don't talk about Jinshi, even they can't help in the township test, if it is so easy to get fame, the scientific examination of the Ming Dynasty will have been chaotic a long time ago." ”

Wei Bao is right, the main reason is that the invigilation system of the Ming Dynasty is too advanced, it is even more advanced than later generations, and it is not until the exam starts that I know who I have found to invigilate, and they are all Confucianism from ten miles and eight towns, and at the beginning, there were dozens of people to choose, and finally under the supervision of everyone, only a dozen or so people were randomly drawn by drawing lots, which is very scientific.

It's useless to buy exam questions, in this era, they are all text questions, text answer sheets, this kind of is very emotional, you can get a high score, you can also score a low score, unless there are too outrageous typos, the grammar is too unsmooth, otherwise, in the case of not knowing who the candidate is, how to score, is really emotional, difficult to control.

The invigilator and the person who corrected the paper are not the same people, and they have to be cross-reviewed after the correction, and the procedures are very strict one by one, and almost all the loopholes are sealed.

So at the beginning, with Wang Tiqian's great power, he recognized Wei Bao as his nephew, and had such a close relationship, Wei Bao sent more than 100,000 taels of silver, just like that, Wang Tiqian only promised to give Wei Bao a show of talent, and when it came to lifting people, he was helpless.

In fact, Wang Tiqian did just give Wei Bao a fame.

"I know all this, you can only be a dead horse as a live horse doctor, the power of the Duke of Wei is tilted towards the government and the opposition, if you really accept the money and are willing to contribute, there will always be a glimmer of life, otherwise you can only rely on your ability to take the test." Wu Xuexia smiled. She looked very open and relaxed.

Wei Bao smiled helplessly: "That's the only way!" I'm not sorry for the silver, if it can be done, let alone 100,000 taels, it's 200,000 taels of silver, 300,000 taels of silver, it doesn't matter! ”

100,000 taels of silver, which is already a huge amount of money! It is equivalent to about 50 million soft girl coins in later generations! In the modern capital, the house price of more than 100,000 square meters is enough to get a big villa to live in.

"That's not necessary, my father said, 100,000 taels of silver is enough!" Wu Xuexia said.

Wei Bao snorted, "The silver your father gave you, you can keep it for yourself!" Your brother and I have all paid for the bribes and the president's secretariat! ”

Wu Xuexia's eyes lit up: "How embarrassing is that?" You are so generous to me, as soon as you make a move, it is 100,000 taels of silver? ”

Wei Bao smiled: "You are all my woman, what is 100,000 taels of silver?" You have a share of all my wealth! Moreover, your father spent a lot of energy and effort on this trip to buy food, and I should thank him for it. ”

"Then I'll have someone take the silver ticket back and return it to my father, my father will be happy!" Wu Xuexia smiled: "I'm by your side, where can I still use my own money?" The expenses are yours, and if I need money, I'll ask you for it. ”

Wei Bao couldn't help but laugh and said, "You really know how to stick to your mother's house." ”

"It's not to make my parents like you more?" Wu Xuexia said coquettishly.

Wu Sanfu withdrew his gaze from watching the song and dance performance, and saw Wei Bao and Wu Xuexia talking and laughing, happy and happy, so he said, "What are you two whispering?" ”

Wu Xuexia's face turned red, and she hurriedly said, "I won't tell you." ”

Wu Sanfu smiled: "If you don't tell, you won't tell, who still knows about it?" ”

Wei Bao knew that Wu Xuexia was afraid that Wu Sanfu knew that Wu Xiang had given 100,000 taels of silver, and he would definitely pester Wu Xuexia to ask for it, and he would not say anything.

Later in the evening, Wu Xuexia really sent agents from the General Administration of Statistics to send the 100,000 taels of silver tickets given to her by Wu Xiang back to Wu's mansion overnight.

Wei Bao didn't drink alcohol that night, but went to bed early.

The next day, Wei Bao got up very early, he had been delayed for one more day, and now Wei Bao was a little anxious, he wanted to rush to Jingshi as soon as possible, and when he went to Jingshi, he had to visit Wei Zhongxian, and he had to visit Wang Tiqian, even if he could open up the joints and expand a channel for cheating, he would have to read the book carefully for two days, and he had to find the state, otherwise when the time came, he wouldn't be able to cheat and not be able to pass the test, and he would laugh to death.

Wei Bao knew that Wei Zhongxian was insatiable, and his relationship with Wei Zhongxian was not bad now, and Wei Zhongxian would most likely accept his bribes, which Wei Bao was not worried about.

Wei Bao was worried that even if Wei Zhongxian accepted his own money, he would not be able to ensure that he would be able to get the Jinshi fame openly.

If Wei Zhongxian helped himself get a donated Tongjin Shi fame after he fell off the list, it would not be Wei Bao's request.

Wei Bao is a little obsessed with the 'diploma', in modern times, because there is no excellent diploma, how many good opportunities have been lost?

This rebirth, Wei Bao wants to make up for all the regrets in the past, and he doesn't want to leave any regrets.

"Is Brother Sanfu up?" Wei Bao asked Wu Xuexia while stretching out his two arms for the maid to dress himself.

"Where is it so early? Leave him alone, I'll force him up. Wu Xuexia smiled.

Wei Bao smiled: "Yes." However, I'm afraid I can't pull it, right? He's going to lose his temper, right? ”

"I called two female agents from the General Administration of Statistics to go." Wu Xuexia said with a smile: "My brother won't lose his temper with women, and besides, those female spies are a piece of cake to deal with my brother like this." ”

Wei Bao nodded, secretly thinking, don't pay for my two beautiful spies! I have already given one to Wu Sanfu, and if I have more, I can't give it, and I don't have to stare at Wu Sanfu.

Staring at Wu Sanfu is simply a waste, Wu Sanfu is just a wild boy.

When Wei Bao finished dressing and washing, he walked out of his yard in good spirits, ready to have breakfast, and then when he went on the road, Wu Sanfu had really been woken up by two beautiful agents.

"I said Xiaobao, why don't you be so early. It's never too late to leave after lunch, right? Wu Sanfu complained.

"Brother Sanfu, you can't procrastinate any longer, hurry up and have breakfast, and hurry on the road." Wei Bao laughed.

Wu Sanfu hummed and rubbed his head, which was still a little dizzy because he had drunk wine last night.

After breakfast, Wei Dakang, Huang Ying, Fan Lao Pimple and his wife, Wang Zhihui and his wife, Luo Sanzi, Fan Xiaolin, Xu Rui and other high-level people came to see each other off.

Because he was in a hurry to come and go, Wei Bao didn't have the time to stay with Fan Xiaolin and Xu Rui this time, and when he was leaving, he talked to them alone for a while, and everyone else avoided it with interest.

Wu Xuexia seems to only eat Zhao Jinfeng's vinegar, and she is quite tolerant of Wei Bao's other women, especially Fan Xiaolin and Xu Rui, because Wu Xuexia feels that they have to stay in Weijiazhuang to deal with some complicated work, which is very hard, and she usually has the most official letters from the president's secretariat, and the most contact is also with their General Administration Department.

"Thank you for your hard work, and when you are on vacation in the future, I will accompany you to play around." Wei Bao said to Fan Xiaolin and Xu Rui.

"It's not hard." Fan Xiaolin and Xu Rui said at the same time.

The two girls glanced at each other, and then Fan Xiaolin spoke first: "The president should pay more attention to his body, don't be too busy with official duties." When encountering things, you should relax and not be impatient. ”

Wei Bao smiled and nodded, Fan Xiaolin was not a little older than him, but she always looked like a big sister.

"What about you, don't you have anything to say to me?" Wei Bao looked at Wen Wen quietly, replied shyly, and stood movingly.

Xu Rui Judging from her appearance, who can tell that she has ever entered the Qinglou?

"I don't know what to say, let Xiaolin say it, I hope the president is happy every day." Xu Rui said.

Wei Bao smiled slightly: "It's not a New Year's congratulatory speech, why do you say some auspicious words?" Well, there will be many opportunities to be together in the future, if you have anything to say, let's talk about it next time. ”

The second daughter nodded reluctantly.

Wei Bao and the second daughter kept warm for a while, and then decisively ordered to set off!

As soon as the president's motorcade started, everyone who came to see them off immediately burst into tears.

Especially Huang Ying and Wei Dakang, Huang Ying kept waving while wiping her tears, muttering to Wei Bao to take care of herself.

Although Wei Dakang didn't say anything or make any movements, he kept standing beside Huang Ying, staring at the carriage.

Just this kind of gaze from the father is very stressful for the child.

provoked Wei Bao to dare not look at it.

Wei Bao can't see this kind of scene the most, no matter how many times he experiences, every separation is so worrying.

"Xiaobao, I really can't stand this scene, you have too many people in Weijiazhuang, right? There must be four or five hundred thousand people, right? It's all crying and crying all the way, it's really not a taste. Wu Sanfu looked at the growing crowd of people along the way outside the car window and said to Wei Bao.

"Almost, I asked people not to engage in these pomp, it should be all the people who came spontaneously." Wei Bao Road.

"It was the people who came by themselves, and yesterday the president said that he was going to leave today, and many people got the news." Wu Xuexia replied: "However, these people should not be at work, and the people who go to work will never affect their work because they want to see off the president." The rules of the factory and the bureaucracy at all levels are so strict. These people who have kung fu should either be farming, trading, or people who are not doing things. ”

Wei Bao kept waving to the people outside the car window, and enjoyed such a moment, but also felt a little burden, under the rule of the Heaven and Earth Society, he is a real public figure, out of his own territory, it's okay, although he has some fame, but it will not be like now, causing congestion anytime and anywhere.

Out of Liaoxi, few people recognize him.

The convoy out of Weijiazhuang, the road began to be bumpy, fortunately this European-style carriage has a shock absorber, and a sofa, along the way is not much offended, in general, the dry road is more comfortable than the waterway, and there is more leisure time to enjoy the scenery along the way.

Along the way, they passed through Funingwei and Yongping Mansion, and the officials along the way, as well as the branch managers of the Tiandihui business in other cities, and some merchants who would have business dealings with Tiandi, also came to meet and see them off.

Just because Wei Bao is the quasi-son-in-law of the Wu family, Wei Bao now has to be respected by officials and merchants in western Liaoning.

"Life is like this, what more can a husband ask for?" Wu Sanfu said enviously: "Every time you go out with Xiaobao, wherever you go, it is like the stars and the moon." ”

Wei Bao smiled: "Where is it so exaggerated as you say?" Brother Sanfu, this is just a polite gesture, out of Weijiazhuang, at least people will not see off and cry. And there aren't many people everywhere, dozens of people are called the stars and the moon? ”

"No matter how many people there are, they are all coming for you, why didn't anyone come to see me off?" Wu Sanfu said with a smile: "But it's okay, lest I be polite with others and save my son a lot of saliva." ”

Wu Sanfu's words provoked Wu Xuexia, Wang Qiuya and Princess Zhenming in the carriage to cover their mouths and smile.

"Did you sleep with Yanhong last night? Why don't you take Yan Hong's road with you on this trip? Wei Bao asked.

"Bring it, I was with Yanhong last night, Yanhong is now in another carriage, don't I think I'm in a car with you, and I'm not afraid of boring talking along the way? Besides, it's a bit useful for women to sleep at night, what can they say together during the day? "Wu Sanfu is very macho.

Wei Bao snorted, only then did he know that Wu Sanfu had brought Wei Yanhong.

Wei Yanhong is Wei Bao's concubine who gave Wu Sanfu in Weijiazhuang before, Wei Bao also gave Wu Sanfu a good house on the edge of the president's mansion in Weijiazhuang, usually Wei Yanhong lives alone, and when Wu Sanfu comes to Weijiazhuang, Wu Sanfu and Wei Yanhong live alone.

Therefore, Wu Sanfu will have a strong sense of identity with Weijiazhuang and will feel that this is also his home.

Wei Yanhong is also a trained agent of the Statistics Bureau, and she is also the goddaughter of President Wei, otherwise only Wei Bao's family was surnamed Wei in Weijiazhuang, and other people with the surname Wei were changed later.

"Brother, don't you open your mouth and shut up your mouth? What happened to the woman? Under the rule of the Heaven and Earth Society, women are the same as men, they are equal, and many women are paid higher salaries than men, and they are bigger than men as officials! Wu Xuexia retorted.

Wu Sanfu smiled: "That's Xiaobao is young and likes to play around, what can a woman do?" It's better to talk less about this outside, otherwise if you say it, it will only make people laugh at Weijiazhuang. ”

Wu Xuexia was angry with Wu Sanfu: "What's so ridiculous about this, only ignorant people laugh, I'm too lazy to play the piano to you and the cow." ”

Wei Bao only smiled, and had no intention of correcting Wu Sanfu's thoughts, once the concept is cultivated, it is difficult to correct it!

Even the areas under the rule of the Heaven and Earth Society advocate equality between men and women, and provide a large number of employment opportunities for women, but even so, if the areas under the rule of the Heaven and Earth Society really let everyone form a mindset of equality between men and women, Wei Bao estimates that it will take at least another five years!

People's concepts, like habits, are difficult to reverse once they are formed, and they can only rely on the passage of time.

This is also what Wei Bao has always been worried about, the fundamental obstacle to his relationship with the Wu family, with the ancestral family, with the Jin merchants, and with the merchants in the Guannai, is actually here.

The biggest difference lies in the difference in the system, they are all people of feudal society, the concept of feudal society.

Wei Bao is modern thinking, while Heaven and Earth will be a modern system, a capitalist system completely different from the feudal system.

Everyone talked and laughed along the way, and arrived at the Daming Jingshi in less than three days.

President Wei usually lives in the president's mansion in the capital, although it is a fixed official residence of President Wei and a huge mansion, but it is very low-key to the outside, and there is no door plaque.

When President Wei arrived, it was in the afternoon, and after a little rest, he began to study in retreat.

President Wei didn't have time to spare, and he wasn't in the mood to be like other candidates, and he would participate in some poetry clubs, poetry clubs, assemblies or something, just like doing business, and making friends in a big way.

Now the Beijing Division, very lively, every time the examination will be examined, the township examination is like this, the examination gathered people from all provinces of the country, each time there are thousands of people to participate.

There are only less than one million people in the capital, and the number of people has increased by one thousandth all of a sudden, and there are at least one of these people who bring a scholar or something, and some rich sons and daughters come out for exams, and they also bring more than a dozen retinues, and there are dozens of retinues.

Therefore, every time there is an exam, the temporary increase in the population of foreign students to the Beijing Division, at least four or five thousand people, will make the capital much more lively in an instant.
